WHAT? MORE THAN ONE IN A DAY? And yes, this idea prompt was requested by Polinia! It was a 'break out' and I ended up making it...well you can see for yourself XD
So, this was the one I originally wanted to use a 'more known' Anti Shadow, but the artist never responded. I ended up just...making my own? And I accidently made him a precious bean?
Ark was an accident but a happy one.
I love this bean so much that this is getting a second part eventually.

With a loud bang, the large metal door flew off its hinges. The smug hedgehog in the doorway smirking as he scratched a toothpick against his sharp teeth.

He was a scourge all right; in fact, that was his name.

The green hedgehog casually propped the red shades he wore onto his head. His hands resting back into his flamed jacket pockets was he walked on into the room.

He had yet to be caught by the zone police, having upgraded his old warp ring with a powerful red warp star. It allowed for subtle exits and entry within the zone plane; making zone hopping barely detectable.

He'd already be six zones over by the time they traced the signal.

Though, why he was currently in this zone was the question.

The rogue smirked as he stopped in front of a larger metal door, littered with warnings of opening.

Behind it was one of the greatest weapons ever made. A weapon capable of leveling worlds, of annihilating creatures all over the planets.

He practically drooled at the thought of so much power.

If he had it, no one could stop him.

No one!

The green hedgehog took his hands out of his pocket, smirking as he leaned backward lazily before slamming his fists into the weak spots of the door.

The metal denting harshly inward but not collapsing.

"Honestly, if this is all they got, they really need to reevaluate themselves," he smirked. He looked over the security beforehand, smirking at the ridiculously ancient camera and door work.

It was like they were more afraid of the weapon than need be. If it was locked up, why worry about it?

Maybe because it was so dangerous, they thought no one would bother trying.

Keyword, try.

With another rough hit, the door finally collapsed, the teen smirking as he laid eyes on the massive case in cold storage.

Perfect~

Kintober was such a fool. Trying to hide and contain a weapon like this instead of using it to protect his stupid hospital.

Idiot.

Confidently, Scourge walked in; green and black boots tapping quietly against the concrete floor as he approached.

"Too easy.." he chuckled, the cold blue eyes resting on the case with disturbing glee.

Humming softly, his fingers rapped on the ice cold glass. His glove brushing away a bit of the frost in a poor attempt to peer inside.

He could barely make out a blob shape from the inside. Weirdly enough, the blob didn't appear very….'weapon' like.

It looked more like a mobain blob if anything.

And he knew his blobs.

Clicking his sharp teeth, the blues looked over the top of the case. A smirk settling in his muzzle as he found the release hinge.

"Perfect.."

The teen grabbed the toothpick from his mouth, jamming it into the side of the clasp. Giving a small twist, the rogue gave a small chuckle when he heard the click of release.

"Now then...let's see what's inside~," he hummed, giving a small grunt as he pulled the lid up.

The teen threw up a brow in faint confusion. "What in the-" He gave a grimace as he felt tempted to close the lid.

Laying in the capsule, was another hedgehog. His fur a dark black, stripes an offset dark red.

What was odd was the massive amount of bandages around his torso and limbs. Stained a dull brown from an unknown liquid.

This was the weapon of mass destruction?

Cautiously, he gave the being a poke. Flinching at the stiffness.

"...Ok great, dead hedgehog….What a ripoff..," he grumbled, Scourge scratching his cheek with a sigh.

How was this the weapon he heard of?

Clicking his teeth, he turned away, only to let out a panicked scream when he felt something grab his arm.

"WHAT IN THE-" his voice died in his throat when his blues locked with angry reds.

"Uhoh-"

"Who are you?" the hedgehog asked, voice deep and menacing.

"...The...the guy who broke you out?," he said lamely, giving a shrug.

The dark hedgehog paused for a moment, rubies narrowing at the green teen. "...Broke me out?"

"Yep, uh...Surprise!...Yay?," Scourge gave a small shrug, his usual smirk trading in for a nervous smile.

Slowly, the dark hedgehog looked around. Blinking slowly as the environment began to set in. "...Oh." Was all he could say.

Shakily, Scourge let out a breath he didn't realize he was holding in. With a faint wince, he shook his grabbed arm once it was reluctantly released.

"So...Pretty...pretty bad pad ya got here," Scourge sniffed, catching the confused look from the other as the dangerous blues looked across the abandoned lab.

"No room, a mess, pretty sure I'm inhaling ten pounds of dust each breath…," he let his blues rest on the confused hedgehog, a small smirk tugging on his lips.

"I-...What are you…," the stuck hedgehog tilted his head.

With a sly scoot, Scourge rested his arm on the edge of the canister. Sniffing again as he flicked his jacket.

"I mean, how are ya gonna entertain people who visit?" The rogue asked, quirking a look at the other.

The stuck hedgehog looked confused as he shifted.

"...Why did you release me? You likely know what I am…."

"I know that there's a weapon in here, yeah. But all I see is a hedgehog that's stuck in an awkward tube of...what tube is this even?" Scourge tapped on the side with a huff.

"It's supposed to keep me under so I can't get out…"

"Well duh, I figured that! But what is it even called?" The green hedgehog gagged," Chaos, it's even worse than the cells in the No Zone realm...Somehow."

The blues rolled in faint disappointment as he pushed off the side," So, stripes, whatcha in for?" he asked, the dark hedgehog tilting his head further.

"In..for?"

"Yeah, why were you locked up in the world's most uncomfortable cell?" The jacketed teen turned back, nudging the base with his foot," Ugh, it's like they wanted to squeeze you out like icing or some shit.."

"Icing?"

"Eh, I'll explain that later." Scourge moved back to lean against the edge again.

"You got a name stripes?"

The hedgehog shifted, looking away with a faint nervousness," Yes..I do..Well project name…"

That made him raise a brow," Project name? They didn't even give you an actual name?"

"Well...One person did...it just took off the 'project' part."

"Ok...fine then...What was the shortened part?"

"Ark."

"...Ark?"

"Ark."

"...Ark."

"...Yes, Ark...How many times do I need to say it?"

"As many times as I feel like it hot shot," Scourge smirked, Ark narrowing his ruby gaze for a moment.

"...You have quite a bit of sass for someone so dangerously close to a weapon."

"Hey man, I'm basically a weapon at this point too." He smirked.

"How...how so?" Ark narrowed his gaze in suspicion and confusion. "Oh...jump start from the master emerald, mad skills, took over a zone for a while, broke out of a high security prison with ease...The usual."

Ark looked around for a moment," I...what?"

"Eh, don't worry about it stripes."

"Ark."

"Sure.," Scourge waved him off, smirking a bit more as he looked to the other.

"So…"

"So?"

"You wanna get out of that thing or you wanna go back to sleep?"

Ark flinched in slight panic," U-um-"

"Chill stripes~ I was just teasing."

Scourge let his hands go into his pockets, the blues settling on the awkward project.

"I know how much getting locked up without a word sucks, so I ain't having it."

"What are you-"

"I'm saying, stripes, that I'm just gonna let you do what ya want. You wanna stay, then fine. You wanna come out? Then fine. I ain't gonna stop ya no matter what."

The blues flicked to the door with a small grin," Though...would be nice to have a partner for this…"

"Partner? For what?," Ark asked, shifting a bit.

"Oh nothing much….Just some vengeance against this guy who turned me in….Some of it to the old 'gang' y'know. Just a victory lap before I move to handle whatever the multiverse has...Still figuring stuff out for that."

"Multiverse?" Ark repeated, his rubies sparkling at the mere thought. "There's a multiverse?"

"Oh-ho! Yeah there is~," Scourge flashed a grin as he snapped back around to the other.

"I..I thought that was just a crazy idea creator had…," Ark mumbled, faintly recalling a muddled memory of a raving man pointing to a massive wall of paper with theories and odd cake recipes.

"Nah, it's not so crazy...And I got a way to travel through it with no one bugging me," he puffed his chest out.

"You can travel between worlds?!" Ark gasped, lunging slightly to the edge. His rubies wide in wonder.

He didn't know why but...that look made the green hedgehog's insides warm..

"Of course I can, how'd ya think I got here?" The teen huffed, looking away for a moment.

"Through...through the door?"

Ark looked confused as he pointed to the door, a sheepish expression on his face.

Ok...how can a weapon of ultimate power be...cute?

"I mean, you're not wrong," Scourge scratched his cheek as he looked to the broken down door. "But, I also came through a different doorway."

"Well...yeah, this is a building...there's multiple doors." Ark said quietly.

"...Ok...Not that kind of doorway." Scourge sighed as he let a hand slid into his jacket to remove a red ring.

"You wanna see what I mean?"

Ark gasped, rubies sparkling at the idea of going through the multiverse. "I...I can come with?"

"Well yeah. I mean, I got stuff to do y'know, but I don't mind the company if you wanna come...Better than his health hazard right?" Scourge grinned as he gestured around.

"Y-yeah! Way better!"

The rogue smirked slightly as the hidden project crawled out of the tube. His rocket skates clicking on the ground.

"Let's go!"

Scourge smirked as he lowered his shades down over his eyes. Waving his hand to let Ark walk to the door first.

Just like he said to himself earlier in regards of stealing this weapon...Too easy.

Perhaps he could use the fact of it being sentient and aware to his advantage…

Perhaps.
