the title is based on that JK Simmons skit with the lemons watch?v=wrXVYOWB3W8

I couldn't decide which one to have the robotization so I finally settled on Scourge.

So, if I went with Sonic he'd think of all the cool stuff he could do and be really excited about what he can do with robo-limbs. If Shadow, he'd start crying and panicking because he'd think he was actually an Android all along. Glad I went with pessimistic Scourge?~

He wasn't sure how he was captured or how long he was stuck in the tiny cell before he fell through the hole in the base. The cold walls of the roboticizer glinting in his panicked ice blue eyes.

After being free for so long, he was captured and a prisoner once more. But this time, he wouldn't be free from it.

"This plan is sure to work! Not only will it get rid of a pesky hedgehog, but I can use you to shatter that damn hedgehog's spirit!," the evil egg cackled.

Scourge pressed himself against the glass, like an animal in a corner. "You wouldn't…," he mumbled softly. "Wouldn't I? I mean, what use are you to me otherwise?," the doctor smirked as he clicked a button.

A whimper of sheer fear left the green teen. The horror stories of becoming a robot played over in his mind from hearing them from so many de-roboticized mobians. "Oh hush~ It'll be over quickly and painlessly...not!," the doctor maniacally laughed before breaking into a coughing fit. "Woah, I really need to drink more water…," he made a face, pulling a lever and causing the metal walls to slide down the container. Successfully sealing in the hedgehog.

He banged furiously against the thick walls, his screams unheard from the outside.

Tears rolled down his cheeks as he heard the metallic whir start up, and then came the stinging pain.

Scourge let out a hellish scream as he felt a leg twitch and seemingly become engulfed in flames that were never there.

Collapsing to his knees from the shock, he felt his fleshy leg slowly become cold and hard. The same burning sensation taking over an arm.

Scourge wailed and screamed in pain.

He was only vaguely aware of a crashing sound outside the chamber.

He took in shaky breaths as he felt the container wall slide up as the machine turned off. An arm and leg completely metal and roboticized on his person.

"Oh my god!," he felt a pair of arms wrap around him," This is all my fault!," the same voice seemed to tear up painfully.

"We need to move!," a deeper voice said, another firmer pair wrapping around him to carry him. The pain filled hedgehog whined softly at the movement of his tender and abused limbs.

"It's ok, we'll get through this…," the deep voice said reassuringly. Scourge turned his face into the chest with a sob.

"Sonic, cover me," Shadow said, his once calm and soft tone hardening in anger as the cerulean hedgehog nodded. And with that, the trio made their way out of the falling eggbase.

Once back home, the trio let the exhausted hedgehog rest his hurt limbs. After a few weeks of seemingly continuing on like things were normal, the azure hedgehog made a soft sound for attention. "Scourge...we need to talk about...this," he began, the dark rubies of the hedgehog across from him glaring daggers angrily.

"What? He needs to be able to walk! And grab stuff!," he said, frowning slightly. "You better mention-" "I was until you snapped at me," the blue teen cut off the ebony older.

"Tell me what?," the verde hedgehog frowned softly.

Sonic shifted a bit," Well. The de-roboticizer we use for these situations….someone broke it. So it'll be a while until we can get your limbs back to normal…," he said, watching the seemingly broken form crumble more.

"Great….my life keeps getting better and better.," he grumbled, feeling the bed shift as his counterpart sat down," Hey now! No reason to get down about it! Look at the bright side!"

"What bright side?," the green male muttered softly.

"You get to have cool robot limbs for a while! I bet you could do a bunch of neat things!," blue smiled, the emeralds twinkling slightly," And~ You look pretty neat~," he said, a green ear flicking. "Really?"

"Yeah! And with your super cool outfit and stuff you'll be the coolest dude in Mobotropolis!"

The icy blue orbs looked up," You really think so?"

"Hecky yeah!," Sonic smiled, giving a tiny chuckled. "Right Shadow?"

"Oh yeah...so cool.," the dark male said, sitting down on the bed.

"But until then, we'll help you figure out your limbs…," Shadow said, offering a tiny smile.

"Do you think I'll still be able to run?," Scourge asked," Dude I bet you can! We can-" "Absolutely not!," the dark male cut off the excited blue hedgehog. "What if he collapses? He won't be running when he's hurt!," the red streaked hedgehog crossed his arms sternly.

"But stripes!," the green teen whined, pouting.

Shadow grumbled softly at the double puppy eyes from the hedgehog pair.

"...Fine. Perhaps when you're feeling better and I know you can handle it.," he said sternly, rolling his rubies at the soft cheers.

"One step at a time though.," he said sternly.

"We will~," the two purred.

He shook his head with a sigh," How can you two easily sway me?" "Because you care!~" Shadow made a soft groan," Stop….."

"No fight me….," the blue hedgehog pouted.

"Not on me though. I'm healing," Scourge said with a cheeky smirk.

"Ahh come on!"

"Faker please…," Shadow said, frowning as the blue hedgehog pulled him closer.

"Nope!~"

Scourge was slightly smooshed against the two," Ahh! Easy on the arm!," he winced. "Oh, sorry!," Sonic panicked, Shadow flailing a bit and looking worriedly towards the green hedgehog. "Haaa!~ Gotcha!," he teased.

"Ugh! Scourge!," green laughed at the pouting blue. "Very funny….," the ebony hedgehog muttered quietly.

Perhaps things were turning around for the trio afterall.
