Sliding down the wall after he was attacked caused Scourge to bend over in pain, as he was still writhing from the pain the bullet wounds had caused him. Gritting his teeth the vile monster saw red when he witnessed Shadow attacking Sonya. Pushing himself to his feet the speedster gave a deadly glare and an eerie evil laugh that echoed throughout the chamber. "Alright, I've got two things to tell you jag off. Firstly you call that super speed? Your little rocket boots are sad. Secondly I DON'T LIKE OTHER PEOPLE TOUCHING MY STUFF."


He roared as he dashed forward so fast he became invisible; during this assault deep gashes would appear across Shadow's chest before Scourge skidded to a stop holding a bloody blade. He tossed the combat knife into the air catching it, holding the blade sideways as he used his free hand to beckon the enemy closer. "You think you've got what it takes to tangle with the king? Show me that power you're always crapping on about."

Taking a deep breath he breathed a sigh of relief, as a refreshing wave washed over him once inside the bubble. Its healing effects seemed to restore Scourge's energy, and his hazy vision was becoming clear. Once the pain had passed Scourge felt all over his body amazed the wounds had healed up and, was a little scared the bullets were still inside him as he frantically patted himself down, feeling the metal bumps under the healed up wounds.

Once he'd pulled himself together the hedgehog sped up the vibrations of his body causing the bullets to phase through his body, hitting the bottom of the barrier clanking against one another as he did so. Scourge vibrated even harder until he phased through the bubble hitting the floor; pushing himself back up he straightened up his jacket and adjusted his sunglasses. Having been in such great pain what Sonya did to get him out of the line of fire was hazy, but he knew she'd be able to handle it. Raising an eyebrow seeing her freakout over directions when Scourge had just witnessed her deal with sentry guns made him smile.

"You are just the cutest thing when you're clueless." He remarked pointing to the south corridor. "Also, thanks for the save." He mumbled that last part quietly, he hated admitting he needed help to anybody. Now aware of the guns Scourge just smiled causing the mounted turrets to explode; It appears as if he never left his spot but in reality, it was a trick of the eye; Scourge had disposed of the turrets that quickly it appeared as if he hadn't moved from the spot. After his impressive display, he zipped up to a wall and knocked on it causing it to ring hollow. A smirk appeared as he took a small amount of the plastic explosive and mounted it to the wall; after firmly planting the bomb he stepped back and hit the detonator. In a small controlled explosion, the concrete and plaster crumbled away to reveal a room stocked to the ceiling with nuclear weapons.

Scourge's jaw dropped upon seeing the weapons of mass destruction. He gave an impressed whistle as he admired the craftsmanship. "You've gotta hand it to Ol Buttnik, the dude knew how to build em big." He said as he ran his fingers over the Eggman Empire logo sprayed onto one of the bombs. Before long Scourge caught on as he looked down to the remainder of the C4 in his jacket; if they set an explosive charge on these warheads everything in an eight-kilometre radius would be vaporized, including them. "Sonya, we're leaving." He said firmly grabbing her wrist pulling the fox back out the way they came. "Somebody is setting us up. Had you planted those charges you'd be dead along with everything else in this jungle." The villain was furious somebody would set Sonya up like this, and planned to rip the King a new asshole as soon as they arrived back in the city.

Tea parties, talking about his childhood the entire situation he'd found himself in made Scourge cringe but it was making Sonya smile so he would simply grin and bare it. The couple trailed the family throughout the day witnessing all kinds of wholesome events from the aforementioned tea party to a home cooked meal in their cozy cottage. The green hedgehog personally didn't understand why she adored her prenatal figures because his mother walked out before he was born and his father played a large part in the monster he had become today. As time past and the stars made their way into the sky Sonya's parents ended the day by tucking the tiny fox into bed and reading her a story; the story detailed a princess of the same name who awaited a handsome price to come and sweep her off her feet. Scourge gagged at the thought of something so whimsical and magical without even a trace of conflict. While he was stewing in his loathing for the innocence of Sonya's childhood the night ended when her parents gently closed the door as she drifted off to sleep.

Soon her folks retired to their bedroom and started talking about all the adult world and all the troubles that came with it. Hearing he whispers of war Scourge grabbed Sonya's wrist and pulled her towards a purple portal that had just torn itself into reality. Staring into the swirling vortex of energy he urged his partner to take one last good look through the window. "Our time's up. Couldn't be better if you ask me you don't need to stick around to hear this. You've got your phone right? Feel free to turn off the flash and the sound and snap a picture. It's the last time I can bring you here before they catch up with me."     

Scourge had endured all but fifteen minuets of one of Sonya's lectures before he tried to drown her out with the sound of death metal coming from his sound system. The argument only got more and more heated when the golden fox encased his speakers in a barrier bubble, forcing him to hear everything she had to say. The two bickered back and forth until Sonya decided to let Scourge know she was less than pleased with the fact he didn't get her a gift for the holidays but allowed her to shower him with lavish items.

Scourge seemed unphased by Sonya's efforts to make him feel bad and finally decided to put an end to the argument. "I've agreed not to kill your stupid friends and still you won't get off my case. As for a gift for the holidays I've been working on something that'll blow you out of the water I just needed some extra time to work out the correct date, this shit is sensitive." Pulling out a small note pad from his jacket he looked over some numbers he'd scribbled down before tapping the one that give him the opportunity he wanted. "I can't stand your nagging a moment longer, we're jamming off right now if it'll shut you up." With that said Scourge grabbed Sonya's scarf gently wrapped it around her neck before taking her by the hand and guiding her outside. The green villain dropped to all fours before taking off at such insane speeds the resulting sonic boom shook the street and sent Sonya flying across the road falling into the bus station seat. Scourge zoomed past that same bus station several times tearing up the pavement each time faster than the last, the faster the hedgehog went the more unstable reality seemed to become as waves of distortion echoed through the air making it seem like the ripples on the surface of a lake. It wasn't long before what seemed like ripples became a big splash as Scourge passed the bus station for a final time before exploding into a maelstrom of reality distorting energy taking the form of a swirling vortex of purple power.

Skidding to a stop Scourge took Sonya's hand and guided her towards the swirling vortex pulling her in before she could protest. Venturing through the portal made one feel like they were getting flung through the reaches of time as such high speeds it felt like your skin was going to fly off. Stepping out of the portal his black boots touched down on soft snow in a forest setting likely not too far from the city, they were hidden behind shrubbery south of a small village comprised of humble huts. Placing his hand on Sonya's shoulder he guided her into ducking as three figures rushed past them. The three figures seemed to be a family of foxes all holding hands as they trudged through the snow; between the parents was a golden haired little angel with the biggest ears Scourge had ever seen. He smiled and held back the branches of the bush to allow her a better view before speaking very quietly. "I know this is going to be a lot to take in but you can't talk to them or let them know you're here but you can look all you want. I figured you'd want a chance to see them again after all that sentimental crap you said back at the hut. Sorry if I've seemed annoyed lately but time travel isn't something that's easily figured out." He told her with a whisper taking her hand in his tightly closing his fingers around hers while the happy family beyond had gotten into a snowball fight. 

It wasn't long until the father had nailed the little one with a snowball a bit too hard causing her to cry, knowing her daughter was ever the sensitive one the mother scooped her up wrapping her darling in her pink jacket while she begun to sing a long since forgotten song that lingered only in Sonya's dreams; her soft voice carried the notes through the air giving her daughter smile that soon turned to joyous laughter. 

Scourge grit his teeth as he growled out his next sentence. "That's not what I meant.....Look can we not do this in front of her? It's not that I don't appreciate your affection it's just.....let's just say I'm not a fan of public displays of affection and leave it at that." Scourge rubbed his forehead annoyed before pointing outside. "Grab your coats we're all going out for dinner. The three of us need to sort out where we stand and I'd prefer to do it in a public place so Sonya won't get grabby and you pull yourself together." Before the girls hand a chance to object they were whisked away to a local bar dressed in their casual attire. The waitress approached and Scourge ordered for the three of them without concern for what the girls even wanted.

Before too long strong drinks were set before them the cool ice rattling as the sounds of the busy bar filled the air. Pushing the tall frosty glasses towards the girls the green hedgehog pointed towards the table as he started speaking. "Alright, that's better so let's start talking deal. People cannot know Sonya and I are an item, it'll be bad for my reputation and she'll loose her job. As much as I hate the idea of helping people many of which are my victims her profession makes her happy and I respect that. I know you won't keep this between us for free so what do you want? You already know I won't kill you but don't you dare ask me to turn over a new leaf to end up like that blue idiot. Money, diamonds, somebody whacked? I can make any of the following happen." He told the pink hedgehog as he patted himself down looking for his lighter as he finally found it, lighting up a cigar he blew a haze of smoke into the air. The smoke leaving Scourge's lips joined the rest of the fog lingering in the air from the rest of the patrons; this was the kind of old fashioned bar that still allowed smoking in the establishment.

Scourge rolled his eyes annoyed giving Sonya what she wanted as a play to his ego was all it took. "Damn straight." He said with a big smile as he pulled his squeeze closer only to shoot an annoyed glare towards the purple hedgehog that dared to taunt him. "Conquered my home dimension in less than a week and declared myself king." He puffed out his chest clearly full of pride and accomplishment as global domination was a feat very few could accomplish, not even the likes of Robotnik had managed that. "In a way I'm a step ahead of this Robotnik you all fear so much, I succeeded where he failed."

Just as he mentioned the good doctor one of his horrid creations had traipsed into the room. Upon laying eyes upon her haunting gaze like a balloon all of Scourge's confident stance escaped him just like air in a balloon. His sharp teeth chattered as he pushed Alexa aside stumbling backwards and falling over himself only to scramble to get back to his feet. After he hit a wall he would clutch at this chest as he struggled to breath desperately trying to calm himself down. He knew that face all to well it was staring down at him as he was inches from death after he almost completed his goal of killing Sonic. Her features were burned into his mind only this time warped and twisted by cold steel lacking any of the lingering compassion her organic counterpart held. True Scourge was a monster but Karahl was like a demon from the deepest pits of the underworld forged in ice and spite. He opened his mouth but no words escaped he just stood frozen with fear so much so that his legs couldn't even muster the courage to flee.

Scourge was unaware of Sonya's assault and stumbled forward dropping Amy to the side and luckily not straight into the fire place. Rubbing his elbows from the connected blow of the fire poker he shot his lover a dirty look before returning focus to Amy. When the pink hedgehog swung at him Scourge caught her fist in his open palm tightening his fingers around her hand; when she swung a second time using her enhanced speed Scourge responded by using his that was in a league all his own, he caught her second fist with his free hand and stared deep into her eyes. "You don't seem to know who you're dealing with Pinkie. You just don't get it you got lucky the first time we let because your buddies were powering you up but here alone....I'm faster than you, I'm stronger and I won't rest until you are dead."

Now having the pink hedgehog held in place he violently rammed his head into hers before placing his boot against her chest pushing her away as he released her hands. Scourge had let Amy get away before and was even humiliated by her on one occasion he felt he would never live down until she died. He stood tall as he straightened up his jacket now he had some room between him and the elegant hedgehog. "Sorry babe but the pink pain has to die. If you're going to miss her that much I'll buy you a rabbit and you can vent to that." Amy's fury would normally be something to behold however something was off about her, like she was sloppy in her movement as if something was weighing heavily on her mind. He glared towards Amy reaching into his jacket pulling out an assortment of knives and a pistol or two before dropping his entire arsenal to the ground, while the cold steel clanked against the floor the horrid killer pointed towards them. "I just want you to know, I could have killed you six ways from Sunday with any of my toys here if I sped up to the point where you were barely moving. You've seen me do it at the orphanage to those scrubs who tried to help my victims. Imagine any one of these piercing or blowing holes in that beautiful body of yours. I just wanted you to get a good look at the instruments I'm going to use to rend he flesh from your very bones."

With that Scourge smiled as green lightning shot through his eyes signifying the build up of the energy he needed to access his insane levels of speed that would allow him to move as if reality had frozen around him. The energy seemed to build up much more rapidly than last time as wild electrical energy started to crackle and surge from his body. "Any last words?" He uttered as his vile fangs gnashed together before sparing a glance towards his beloved. "If you want to say goodbye this is your last chance Sonya. Remember her face well because after I skin her alive she's going in that fire place."
