~ Chapter 27: Hedgehog Havoc ~

Rosy swings her hammer down to Scourge who quickly dodged it as the hammer smashed the ground with a huge crack.

"MREE-HEE-HEE! So many cute hedgehogs to smush into mush!"

"Okay, so far the plan sort of worked." Sonic nervously said, leaning away from Rosy.

"Cut it out, Rosy!" Scourge exclaimed.

"My Scourgey-Wurgey remembers me!"

"I prefer our Amy than Rosy..." Y/N said, backing away.

Sonic grinned teasingly at Amy.

"Obsessive. Hammer-Happy. Can't take a hint. I'm having trouble telling you apart."

"Keep it up, cutie, and I'll smash you for her."

"Yeah-yeah-yeah. Go check on Buns. We'll cover you."

"Right!" Amy runs over to Buns' aid.

Sonic and Y/N charges Scourge as they begin to fight. Scourge spin dash at Sonic who quickly jumps over it as Scourge smash through the pillar.

"You just had to ruin my fun!"

Scourge ducked back from Y/N's giant fist whip that was thrown.

"I conquered this planet in weeks! Now I've got to start all over on yours!"

"You're breakin' my heart." Sonic joked.

Scourge, Sonic, and Y/N charged each other.

"What I'm gonna do is break your world! It'll do more than bow to me! And I will make your sister mine!"

"Same old song, dude. Put up or shut up. And you can't have her!"

"Yeah, don't bring me into your mess!"

Just then, Shadow appeared before them in the middle, stopping their fight as he glowed green for a sec.

"...CONTROL!"

"Shadow!" Y/N exclaimed in surprise.

Shadow gave her a smile in greeting.

"What in the heck are you doing here?!" Scourge demanded.

"Um... Hi, Shadow?" Sonic questioned.

"I take it this is not the special zone." Shadow said, looking around the dump of the castle.

"Nope. This is Moebius." Y/N said.

"Moebius?"

"The Anti-Mobius? Evil Mobius? Another zone? Forget it." 

Shadow turned to Scourge.

"Why does he have a crown?"

"He conquered this world and then tried to invade Mobius. Since you're here, do you want to help beat him up?" Sonic offered with a smirk.

"Dude! Weak!"

"...Sure."

Y/N grinned in excitement when another green flash appeared to reveal Metal Sonic.

">>SCANNING IMMEDIATE AREA..."

Metal Sonic turned to the hedgehogs.

">>MULTIPLE PRIORITY TARGET CONTACTS. >>PRIORITIZING..."

Sonic, Y/N, Shadow, Scourge, and Metal Sonic went into their fighting stance.

"So does this even the odds or what?" Sonic asked.

"No Metal Scourge? I'm insulted." Scourge scowled.

"The robot is welcome next to your immature..." Shadow started.

They were interrupted again to see a warp ring appeared.

"What now?!" Y/N exclaimed.

It revealed Rob 'O The Hedge. He has teal fur and green eyes and wears brown outift with a hood over his head and brown boots that look like it came from out if a fantasy boo. Alongside is a mysterious white hedgehog with yellow eyes. He wears white, navy, aqua, gold boots and white gloves with gold cuffs and circular aqua symbols as him and Rob walk out of the warp ring.

"'Tis like the Castle Acorn of Old!" Rob said.

"Wow, this doesn't really change at all..." White Hedgehog said unamused.

Amy runs towards them with Rosy chasing her with her hammer raised.

"Sonic! Y/N! I want to trade opponents! Please?!"

She stopped and was surprised to see Rob.

"Rob?!"

"Dear cousin!"

"That's your cousin?!" Y/N asked in surprise to Amy.

"Whoa, okay! Who's the new guy?" Sonic asked, referring to the white hedgehog.

"How many more...?" Shadow asked.

">>MULTIPLE CONTACTS. >>IDENTIFYING... >>PRIORITIZING..."

"So many hedges to smash!" Rosy shouted in excitement.

"Everyone get out of my castle!" Scourge growled.

"So... which one is...?"

The white hedgehog was cut off as all the hedgehogs started to fight in pure chaos. He stood there not knowing what to do as Y/N uses her pink shield from the ruby to block the claws of Metal Sonic who attempt to attack Shadow from behind who's dealing with Rosy alongside with Amy with the help of Rob who shoots an arrow right on the robot's head. Sonic and Scourge kick each other's foot in the air.

"Rob. Which one is—?"

Rob didn't have time to reply as he deflect the claws of Metal Sonic with his handle of the bow. So he turned to Amy.

"Um, ma'am? Can you tell me—"

Amy was busy with Rosy as they slam each other's hammer. He turned to Sonic and Scourge.

"Excuse me, are either of you—?"

He was cut off by Scourge kicking Sonic down to the ground.

"I'm just trying to find—!"

Shadow elbowed Scourge in the back with Y/N kneeing Scourge in the front of his stomach. That was the last straw as the white hedgehog brought out his hand.

"ENOUGH!"

He uses his psychokinesis to stop the fight as he froze Sonic, Y/N, Shadow, Amy, Rosy, Scourge, and Metal Sonic in the air except for Rob who stood behind him.

"Who wants to know?" Sonic asked.

"My name is Silver the Hedgehog. I've journeyed from the future to find this 'Sonic' and destroy him."

"What?!" Y/N exclaimed in shock.

Sonic and Scourge pointed at each other.

"He is."

"You coward." Scourge said.

"Okay, it's a technicality, but still..." Sonic said.

"Wait a minute... I recognize this robot design. So if this Metal 'Sonic' is blue..." Silver started.

"And here it comes..."

"I have you now, traitor!"

Silver zapped Sonic against the pillar. He let everyone go as he was about to take another blow on Sonic when Y/N zoomed in front of him and brought out her katana blade against his neck and made sure it's pressed against it. Rob brought out his arrow behind Silver.

"Yield, lest we be forced to end you."

"Lay a hand on my brother and I will kill you." Y/N warned with a darkest glare, making Silver gulp and raise his hand up in surrender.

Now that he took a look on Y/N, he find her rather amazing and couldn't help but lightly blush at how close she is without her noticing. Silver glanced at Rob.

"You want me to do this."

"What I desire, sirrah, is an explanation."

"Same for me. Talk." Y/N said, pressing it further against his neck.

"During your time, one of the legendary Freedom Fighters turns on the team and destroys them, dooming my future. Only Sonic is remembered as having the kind of power capable of doing that!" Silver explained, pointing at Sonic who was being helped up by Amy.

"That's crazy. My brother would never betray us. Not even a single hint of evilness." Y/N shook her head, pulling her sword away much to his relief.

"Y-Your brother?"

"Wouldst you take a life on legend alone? Art thou so convinced after seeing him for naught but a moment?" Rob questioned his behavior.

"Yeah, you're clearly stupid and naive."

"But... it makes sense..."

"His power may be legendary, but it is nothing compared to his heroism."

"Yeah, even my power is legendary. And I use it for good. To protect and save."

Silver was touched to hear that from Y/N. They were soon cut off by Scourge tripping Y/N, Silver, and Rob.

"Kiss-up to the hero later. Respect the real legendary power here and now!"

Scourge pulled down Rob's hood.

"I don't think you've got a counterpart here. I think 'your' brother already took 'you' out."

Y/N goes behind Scourge to attack him, but with his quick reflex he grabbed her by the arm and spin dashed her towards Silver and slammed her into him as they both got hit against the pillar.

"Nice powers, kid. Use'em to get a less-stupid haircut." he said to Silver.

Scourge felt a presence behind him and dodged it right on time to see a green hammer slammed against the ground and Rosy.

"Oh, Scourgey! You say the meanest things!"

"Would you go away?!"

"Leave Rob alone!" Amy shouted, charging him with her hammer raised.

Silver groaned, rubbing his sore head. He looked up and blushed to see Y/N on top of him as she rubbed her chin in pain. He shook away a heat from his cheeks and helped her up.

"You alright?"

"Yeah."

"Go get him, Amy!"

Sonic backed away from the claws of Metal Sonic.

"Oh, hey again."

He tries to kick the robot when he caught his foot. Shadow quickly comes to save him by spin dashing when Metal Sonic blocked it with his metal forearm.

"This fight is quickly going out of control." Shadow said.

"It was controlled to begin with?" Sonic asked.

Metal Sonic spins himself to create a tornado.

"We cannot keep protecting each other, and I am unsure of who all our targets are."

"Yeah, things could stand to settle down. I've got an idea. Yo, Metal-Me! Time out!"

This caught Metal Sonic's attention as he stopped attacking him.

"Prioritize this: instead of fighting everybody and getting nowhere, we all focus on taking Scourge down first."

">>ASSESSING PROPOSAL... ACCEPTABLE."

Sonic turned to Silver and Y/N who are helping Rob up.

"Silver, we can finish our business after we take the jerk down, okay?"

"Fine by me."

"And Rosy? You get final smashies."

"Ooooh! You're the bestest!" Rosy cheered in excitement.

"Now hold on just a stinkin' minute here!" Scourge protested what was going on.

He found himself surrounded by all the hedgehogs.

"Oh, cute! Real cute! Throw enough chumps at me and hope it works, right? Well, forget that! I've got ways of dealing with you."

Scourge started to run off.

"Halt, villain!" Rob shouted.

"Drop him before he escapes!" Silver shouted.

Both Rob and Silver threw arrows and rocks at Scourge who dodged them all as he ran to the throne room. Once he thought he made it, the back of his head was hit by Sonic's spin dash as Shadow and Y/N came in right after with their spin dash.

"AUGH!"

"You're done, Scourge. Give it up already." Sonic said.

Scourge sat on the throne with a smug smirk and Y/N didn't like it one bit as she had a bad feeling about this.

"Not a chance. Not while my throne's stocked with Anarchy Beryl."

Sonic's eyes widen in shock.

"Anarchy Beryl...? Oh no! Chaos Emeralds!"

"What?!" Y/N exclaimed.

On cue, Scourge's green fur turned purple and his blue eyes changed into red irises with black eyes. His sunglasses turn light blue, black leather jacket with blue flames, and black and purple boots.

"All hail the king, baby."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to Mobius with Freedom Fighters and Suppression Squad as Sally confronted Alicia.

"The ends don't justify the means here! We cannot leave Sonic, Y/N, and Amy stranded on Moebius."

"Complain all you want. You wanted Scourge sent home, and you got it."

"Not good enough. Tails! Get those star posts running!"

Tails nodded, typing on the keyboards of the computer. Alicia grew angry and brought out her whip.

"I said—!"

"Please, your highness. The 'heroes' have had plenty of time to pulverize our former king." Miles calmed her down with a smirk.

"Be that way. Get our globe posts online so we can send these jerks home when we're done."

"Yes, ma'am."

Everyone went through the portal to Moebius. Suddenly, they heard a thud.

"Ha! Looks like we're just in time to wrap this up." Boomer grinned.

"Look out, camarade. I might swing recklessly in the heat of battle." Patch grinned.

"I will be watching my back. Watch your own." Antoine glared.

They all head into the throne and froze with wide eyes.

"Oh no...!" Bunnie gasped.

"Impossible!" Alicia gasped.

They found Amy, Sonic, Shadow, Metal Sonic, Rosy, Silver, and Rob lying on the floor unconscious. Scourge who was flying in the air had Y/N by the collar of her bodysuit as she was the only one unharmed and she had a look of fear. On the ground beneath Scourge and Y/N was her broken katana as they figure she tried to fight him off. Her ruby was no much against his super power.

"Guys! Get away from here!" Y/N shouted to them.

"Oh, good! Fresh meat to soften my knuckles on." Super Scourge smirked and turned to Y/N. "I'll deal with you later. Sit back and watch."

He then tied her up with her own whip and threw her to the ground next to the throne. Scourge turned to the group and flew towards Bunnie and elbowed her in the stomach.

"Ladies first! How's that for southern comfort?"

"Bunnie!" Antoine yelled in worry for his wife.

Super Scourge slammed his foot on Antoine's back.

"You want to get stepped on next, Ant? Happy to oblige!"

Tails flew towards Scourge.

"Stop!"

Super Scourge just slapped him away like a bug.

"Shut it, ya mutant brat."

He flew towards Sally and grabbed her by her shit, lifting her up in the air.

"No Rotor, princess? Your team isn't at the same level of 'lame' without him."

"I— He—!"

He threw her across the room.

"Wow. How can Sonic resist a wit like that? Ha!"

Super Scourge then went to Suppression Squad and threw Alicia at the throne nearly hitting Y/N.

"You want to rule, Ally? Here's your throne!"

Patch and Boomer tried to attack from two different side with their sword and sonic boom. Patch's sword was broken into pieces after hitting Super Scourge right on the head.

"You really want to lose that other eye don'cha? Is Fiona with you?"

"Non! Il est impossible!"

Super Scourge grabbed Patch and threw him into Boomer as they slam against each other.

"Got out when the getting was good, huh? Makes her smarter than you."

He turns to Miles.

"And you. I know it was you. Who else could it be?"

"N-n-no! I didn't— Please!"

Suddenly, a psychokinesis appeared around Super Scourge and stopped him. He turned to see it was Silver using his powers on him.

"That's enough! You may be faster, stronger, and invulnerable, but I have psychokinesis!"

"Not bad, kid. You actually brought me to a full stop."

"Hah. Thanks, I suppose."

Super Scourge easily broke free, shocking Silver.

"But invulnerable means nothing stops me!"

"N-No! How—?!"

Y/N struggled to get herself out of her whip as she couldn't take it seeing her friends hurt. She needs to stop him somehow. Shadow appeared before her and untied her from her whip before helping her up.

"Thanks, Shadow."

"No problem."

Y/N turned and gasped to see Metal Sonic attacking Sonic instead of Super Scourge. Shadow noticed it and zoomed in and kicked Metal Sonic away.

"Thanks. I liked it better when he was silent." Sonic smiled. "Any idea on how to deal with it aside from 'smash with face'?"

"It arrived in this zone on its own. Perhaps I can tap into that power and send it away."

Shadow turned to Y/N.

"Be careful, Y/N."

"I will." Y/N nodded with a smile.

Shadow smiled back and grabbed Metal Sonic.

"Chaos...!"

He and the robot disappeared in a flash.

"That works. Thanks, Shadow."

"Let's go help the others." Y/N suggested.

"Yeah. Let's go, sis."

Rosy tried to hit Super Scourge with her hammer, but it didn't hurt him as he's solid as a rock.

"No fair! No fair! You're not squishy anymore!"

"I have had enough of you!"

Super Scourge threw Rosy against the wall, making her unconscious.

"Oh man... Ouch." Amy winced.

Rob released the bow that is wrapped up towards the wall above Rosy as it released the rope and tied her up.

"She may not be you, dear cousin, but I must act. She'll be safer this way."

"You're sweet. Let's get back to the beat-down."

Y/N grabbed Miles by the tail rather tightly.

"Let me go, fool! Unlike you, I don't want to die!"

"Sure, right after you tell us where we can find more of your Anarchy Beryl." Sonic said.

Y/N let go of his tail as Miles pulled it away.

"We locked it all away from here. I don't know how Scourge got any of it."

"He had some stockpiled in his throne." Y/N said, remembering why Scourge sat on the throne on purpose.

"...Unusually cunning for him."

Sonic turned to see Sally looking beaten up and got worried for his girlfriend.

"Sally?"

"You alright?" Y/N asked.

"I'm fine. Just need a second..."

"What about your world? We can lure him to Mobius and..." Miles started, but Y/N cut him off.

"No way! We're not letting him back on Mobius. Besides, most fo the Chaos Emeralds are locked away in the special zone. The two I know of are out of reach anyway."

"Then, we're doomed." Miles gulped in fear.

"Not yet we aren't. Everyone rally to the center! I need heavy hitters!" Sally ordered. "Silver, hold him steady."

Silver doesn't need to be told twice as he stopped Super Scourge from moving again with his psychokinesis.

"This again?" Super Scourge asked unamused.

"Boomer! Bunnie! Force him down!"

Bunnie and Boomer shot Super Scourge with their blaster and sonic boom.

"ERGH! What do you think you're doing?!"

"Everyone on him— Now!"

They all hold Super Scourge down by piling him up.

"Link arms! Hold him down! I-I've we can keep him down long enough, he'll lose his super-form!"

"Nice plan, Sal. Unfortunately, I don't think..." Sonic said, looking unsure about this.

"L-Look out...! I'm losing him—!" Silver grunted, trying to hold him.

Super Scourge bursted open with his power, blasting everyone off of him.

"YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!"

Sonic and Y/N spin dashed at Super Scourge, trying to hit him again and again.

"Fall down! Fall down! Fall down!"

Super Scourge grabbed Sonic and Y/N and flew them out of the Castle Acorn. Lightning struck down as everything outside is raining. He threw the hedgehog siblings to the wet ground.

"What is it with you two?! I gave you your chance! We could've ruled the multiverse together! But no! You decided to go the 'holier-than-thou' route! See where that got you?!"

Sonic and Y/N tried to get away from Super Scourge when he went in front of them speedily.

"You know what? Forget ruling Moebius or Mobius. I'm Super Scourge. I'll spin dash both planets in half. Because I can. And then I'll just keep stomping on planets until I find one that gives me the respect I deserve— Hey! I'm talkin' to you!"

He noticed Sonic and Y/N zoomed off towards the forest filled with branches with no leaves. As they ran away from him, Y/N started to think of a way to stop Scourge. She didn't notice her ruby glowed and that's when she suddenly got a quick vision. Her eyes wide in shock for a moment but immediately understand what it wants her to do and gave Sonic a glance saying that she got a plan. He understood and nodded to her as they skid to a stop as Super Scourge caught up to them while breaking down every trees that are in his way.

"I'm done toying with you! I'm ending you right now!"

Y/N took a step forward, surprising him as she stand in front of him.

"Scourge. I know why you wanted to rule the universe. I know that you wanted respect and love you deserve that your father never gave you."

Super Scourge's eyes widen.

"How'd you know?"

"I may have overheard your conversation with my dad."

"You spied on me?!"

"That's not the point. All you ever wanted was at least get attention that you wish that people would give you."

Y/N took another step closer to him as Super Scourge floated down.

"What do you even know about me?! You know nothing! My old man never cared for me from a start! No one cares about me! Not even my own squad!"

"Then, I'll just make you understand."

With those words, Y/N grabbed his arms and Scourge noticed that his purple fur is changing back to green as he was now just Scourge. That's when the light started to brighten up the forest as they disappeared. Sonic stood there in shock on where did they go. He decided to just wait and see when they'll come back.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Scourge rubbed his head and was about to shout to Y/N when he found himself in a pink room area filled with pink clouds.

"What the? Where are we?"

Y/N looked around.

"Not sure. But my ruby will explain it."

She gestured to the ruby that wouldn't stop glowing as it began to guide her somewhere as Scourge has no choice but to follow her, seeing he doesn't know where to go. Everything is silent and breathtaking. They then stopped as the cloud magically created a secret door which leads to another room. They went inside and found themselves amazed to see such beautiful palace filled with bubbles floating on the ceiling with gems in it.

Y/N walked over as the ruby started blinking like it's tracking something and when it stopped glowing, she looked up to see something in the bubble and jumped up and grabbed it and landed down safely. Scourge looked at her in confusion as Y/N tapped the bubble open to reveal a nice green gem that match Scourge's fur.

"This is what it brought me here..."

"Huh?"

Y/N looked at him and gestured him to come over as he hesitantly walk over to her. She showed him a gem, making him more confused.

"What's this for?"

"Just take it and tap it."

"Why?" he asked.

"You robbed yourself of a life full of happiness. And I'm about to show you what might have been."

Scourge then took the gem from her and looked at it for a moment before tapping it. Then, a hologram showed some possibly paths that could've happened played before them like a movie. Scourge's feature softened and his eyes began to swell.

"W-What's happening...?"

"These are the moments that could've taken place, had you stayed around and confronting your own dad on how you feel. He would've understand you instead ignoring you."

"I lost... all of this?"

The hologram disappeared, leaving only the green gem in his hand.

"I-- It's too late for any of this. I can't change who I am or any of this. Or my so-called friends.."

Y/N looked at him with sympathy.

"You're right. It is too late for these ones, but you can still make some new ones."

"I don't know what I can do anymore..."

"I'm not asking you to change. I just want you to realize that not everyone had to give you respect. Kindness is free."

Scourge looked at her in shock.

"Why are you telling me this? Why would you want to help someone like me?"

"I may not forgive you for what you have done to my friends and my brother, but sometimes having enemies can also become your friends."

Scourge was speechless as he took the crown off of his head and look at it, regreting what he had done. He then threw it to the ground, smashing it into pieces. Scourge looked at the gem that he still had in his hand and was about to give it to her when she held her hand out to stop him.

"Keep it. As a reminder."

Scourge sniffed and surprisingly hugged her.

"Thanks..."

Y/N smiled and hugged back and then the whole room began to brighten once again and they disappeared.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to Moebius as Sonic was about to run back to tell the others when a flash appears and what he saw shocked him. Scourge and Y/N are hugging as the rain drop down onto them. The gem that he held was still there as he secretly hid it in his pocket jacket.

"I... surrender."

Y/N nodded in understanding, shocking Sonic even more as he couldn't utter a word before smiling.

"Guess my sis got it covered."
