Neutral Charges {Sequel/ Sonourge}

NINE

__Scourge stayed quiet as Buns moved the robot towards the castle entrance. He was hot and uncomfortable being in this suit with Buns. He would try and think about other things, but it wasn't enough. God, I hate it in here. He thought angrily. He then perked his ears when he saw on the screen they were about to leave the castle. Fucking finally! Or so they thought.
__Miles was walking towards them. He stopped right in front of them and looked up at the robot's eyes. "Where are you going, Buns?" He asked. "You're supposed to be watching Scourge."
__Scourge flattened his ears as Buns replied. "Ah'm gettin' tired of watching him. He ain't gonna do anything in that there cell and ah need to get back to Dr. Kintobor's hospital."
__Miles narrowed his eyes as he put his hands behind his back. "You were supposed to wait for one of us to tell you when to leave."
__"Need ah remind ya that ah'm not apart of the Suppression Squad?" Buns replied bitterly. "Ah don't care watchu say about me being a good ally with ya, ah ain't coming back. And ah don't follow you, so good day!" She tried moving the suit around Miles, but he only got in their way again.
__"We're on a truce, Buns," He reminded her. "You said earlier before we went to the Prime Zone that you'd help and follow us."
__Buns was silent. She started looking around what she had inside, but she started to panic. Scourge tried backing up all the way against the suit when Buns started moving around frantically. Dammit, woman! But Buns would still push up against Scourge as she tried searching for something. What the hell!? Scourge fought the urge to scream at her.
__"What's going on in their, Buns?" Miles asked skeptically.
__Buns finally stopped moving and sighed when she opened something above her and revealed a red button. She made the suit move a few steps back and hovered her finger over the red button. "Actually, if ah remember correctly, the truce would last until we got Scourge here. He's in your cell now, so it's time for me to go." She then pushed the button and the robotic suit started flying out of the castle.
__Scourge had hit his head at the head of the robot from the impact and growled as he started rubbing it. "Maybe a little warning next time!?" He sneered.
__"Hey, ah got ya outta here, didn't ah!?" Buns snapped back. "Now get ready to hold on to somethin'. When we land ya'll get hurt since yer not strapped in."
__Scourge mumbled angrily as he pushed his right hand against the roof and his left hand against the back. It was silent for a minute and it made Scourge uncomfortable. He decided to break it. "I don't suppose you and Patch are together?" He asked carefully.
__Buns didn't look at him since she was focused on the screen, but her face gave away an annoyed expression. "Now why in tarnation would me and Patch be together?"
__"I don't know. 'Cause Bunnie and Antoine are together?"
__"Don't compare us with the Prime Zone," Buns sneered. "Ah'm on good terms with Sonic and Amy, but that doesn't mean ah want to be like the Prime Zone."
__Scourge stifled a snort as he looked back at the screen. "Just asking," He muttered.
__Buns then sighed as she flattened her ears. "While we're headin' to the hospital, why don't ya tell me what's been going on with ya."
__Scourge rolled his eyes, but he obeyed. "Sonic and I got together, yeah? That was a year ago after a cyborg killed Fiona. Sonic forced me to stay with him while he would pay off my debt with the No Zone."
__"Debt?"
__"My crimes had to be paid off since Sonic wasn't allowing Zonic to take me back to Zone Jail," Scourge explained. "Anyway, after I destroyed the cyborg, I convinced Sonic to get a job."
__"What kind of job?"
__"Professional singer."
__Buns turned her head and her face showed she was interested. "Is he good?"
__"Hell yeah he is!" Scourge replied brightly. "With that job, he was able to pay off my debt quickly and we moved to a new house."
__Buns nodded and looked at the screen again. "Ah saw you had a dog. What breed is he?"
__"Border collie. We got Buck a year ago after we got our new house."
__"Buck? That's his name?"
__"Yeah," Scourge then sighed. "Sonic named after a buck he cared for when that cyborg attacked him. The day I destroyed that cyborg, it killed Buck. When we got that dog as a puppy and Sonic saw his color, he couldn't resist."
__"Ah heard that bat call you her best friend," Buns remarked. "What's with that?"
__"Eh...we kinda connected with each other again after I apologized for using her."
__Buns smiled. "Sounds like life is better for ya in the Prime Zone then."
__Scourge nodded slowly. "It is, and I want to go back."
__"Well, won't be long now."
__Scourge tightened his arms as they landed on the ground. His arms stung for a bit and he bit his lip to keep himself from yelling. Buns began moving the robot inside Dr. Kintobor's hospital. When they were inside they were immediately greeted by the skinny human.
__"Buns, you're finally back! How's everything so far?"
__"Well..." Buns trailed off awkwardly. She pushed a button and the head of the suit opened up.
__Dr. Kintobor gasped when he saw Scourge sitting next to Buns. "Wait, why'd you bring him here!?"
__Scourge had immediately jumped out of the robotic suit and started stretching. "Damn."
__"Forgive me, doctor," Buns said apologetically. "Ah have my reasons. Scourge says he wants to talk to the no zoners about all of this."
__"And what would that do!?" Kintobor questioned.
__Scourge crossed his arms when he finished stretching. "Relax, doc. I'm going to set everything straight over there and return back to Mobius. I just need your Star Posts."
__"Do you really think you'll be able to set everything straight with them?" Kintobor asked in disbelief.
__"I'm in good terms with Zonic," Scourge replied. "We'll be able to sort things out."
__Kintobor had this shred of doubt in his eyes as he crossed his arms. "How can we trust that you're not just going to escape?"
__Scourge rolled his eyes and started rubbing his forehead. "I'm escaping from this hell hole either way. The way I'm doing it is to help with that stupid fee that's got everyone here so worked up. I already had Sonic pay for my past crimes, and I don't need anyone else to do it again."
__"Ah trust him," Buns said shyly. "He has converted in a way."
__Kintobor sighed before he went and turned on the Star Posts. They watched a portal open in between them as Kintobor looked back. "You better do that then. I don't want to lose this hospital."
__"Don't think I'm doing this for you," Scourge replied promptly. "I'm doing this so I can go home without a burden on my ass again," He started walking to the portal and stopped. He flattened his ears and put his sunglasses over his eyes as he turned to look at Buns. "Hey, Buns. Look, I'm sorry I cheated on you with Penelope."
__Buns eyes went wide, but she brought up a smile and shook her head. "Don't be. Yer actions so far have lead me to where I am right now; a good place."
__Scourge couldn't stop himself from smiling. "Take care, Buns." He then looked at the portal and sighed before he jumped through it.
