A Royal Secret 2: Ch 7

Chapter 7: Scourge's Kingdom

Meanwhile...In a the ruined city of Mobotropolis...

"What do you mean, you two can't find them?!" Scourge yelled out, as he looked into a hologram and glaring at the same mysterious bounty hunters sent to hunt down Sonia and Manic.

"We tried...but those two got away and are sailing across the ocean as we speak." one of them apologized, but Scourge was just getting more pissed off by the second.

"You two...!" Scourge began to rant, but his wife stopped him.

"Scourgey, calm down..." she told him, shaking her head. "This...is what you get for sending two kids on a big mission like this..."

"You're right..." Scourge sighed, before crossing his arms. "But still, you know what happens if those two ever find Sonic and his stupid friends?"

"We know..." the two bounty hunters said, in defeat and hung their heads in shame.

"So, what's the new plan?" one of them asked Scourge.

Scourge began to sat on his throne thoughtfully as he began to think about how he's going to track down Sonic and the rest of his family.

'Come on, Scourge, think...how does one track down those goodie two shoes?'

He then looked up at the photo of the old royal family and began to scowl seeing them. The only reason he STILL has that painting up, is because it makes a nice dart board. He then scoped at the picture and noticed something...Queen Aleena, King Edward and their children all have medallions! Suddenly, Scourge began to evilly cackle as a new evil plan began to build up in his head.

"Scourgey, I know that laugh..." Rosie said, with a smirk as she went to his side, leaning over. his shoulder and looking deeply into his blue eyes "...You figured out a way to lure Sonic and the rest of his team, haven't you?"

"Yes...I can't believe we haven't tried it before!" Scourge cackled, as he looked into Rosy's jade green eyes and kisses her passionately, much to the disgust of the bounty hunters.

"Ugh..."

"Gross..."

"Quiet you too..." He scolded and frowned. "...Let the king have his moment..."

"Well, Your Majesty...you were about to tell us all about this plan you have on capturing Sonia, Manic and Sonic..." the male voiced deadpanned. Scouge nodded, as she got up from the throne and began to to walk towards the two's holograms.

"It's simple, really..." Scourge chuckled, as he pointed at the dart filled painting. "You see those trinkets around their necks in that painting?"

You couldn't just by looking...but the bounty hunters don't look so amused by that obvious fact.

"So?" they both asked, at the same time boredly. Scrouge growled and slapped the holograms, distorting them for a second and the two began to tremble nervously.

"See...if you two were right in front of me right now...you would've felt that slap..." he warned darkly. The two flinched and even Rosy began to get scared; sure, Scourge is terrifying, especially when he's angry...but Rosy seemed to be more nervous, seeing Scourge retaliate at the two like that

"Anyway..." Scourge said, changing the subject and calming down. "...The point I'm making here...is that their medallions are connected...So, what if we take either the king or queen's medallions and lure them to a trap?"

"That sound easy enough, Scourgey..." Rosy told him, as she lounges on her husband's throne. "...But...there's a flaw in your plan..."

"Oh? How so Rosy?"

"Firstly, we have NO idea where Sonic and his family are..." Rosy pointed out. "Secondly, won't they be suspicious if they sense that their parents medallions are out of the castle and roaming this dangerous city?"

"True Rosy, but what if we throw in a fake message, telling them that they escaped antdthey're hiding out in what's left of Mobotropolis?"

Rosy began to think about it for a moment, then smirks. "I love it when you're being all mean and nasty..."

"That's makes two of us~" Scourge chuckled as he pulled her closer to him and making her blush, while the bounty hunters just shook their heads at the two's flirting in front of them.

"Ahem. So King Scourge...where are you going to find the king and queen?" one of them asked. Scourge casually smiled as he made another hologram appear and they saw an image of King Edward and Queen Aleena chained to the wall, their quills were matted down, with dust, dirt and sweat and even their clothes and faces were bruised up and worn out.

"You have them imprisoned still?" the other hunter asked, surprised a little bit.

"Of course...besides...I knew they'd end up being useful one day..." the evil green hedgehog chuckled, before suddenly frowning. "Besides...this is the last chance you two will EVER get in hunting them down..."

"Wait, you going to let us hunt them down...again?!" the female one asked, shocked.

"You want to prove your loyalty to your king, don't you?" he asked, cocking an eyebrow. He then smirked again, once the two began to frantically nod.

"Yes!"

"We'll do ANYTHING!"

"Good..." Scourge told them, with a grin. "...Be on the standby and be ready for your next orders...got it?"

"Yes sir!" both of the hunters answered, before their holograms faded. Scourge then picked up Rosy bridal style, before he ran off with her into the castle's dungeons. He then put her down as the two walked down the long hallways and saw many innocent Mobians and humans locked up, either scared once they laid eyes on the evil rulers or eyes filled with burning hatred. Scourge just ignored those looks as he made it to a lone cell, where Miles or Anti-Tails was casually keeping watch.

"Miles, how're the old king and queen doing?" he asked, with a smirk. Miles simply nodded and evilly chuckled.

"Not well, but hey, they're not the bosses anymore."

Scourge then laughed and told Miles to open the door. He nodded and unlocked the door, letting him inside. Scourge laughed, as he saw Aleena and Edward glare at him, in pure disgust.

"Oh, how the mighty have fallen, eh Your Highnesses?" he mocked.

"You're never going to win, Scourge..." Aleena told evil doppelganger boldly. "...Sonic defeated you once...and he and his friends WILL again..."

"That's what you think, Queenie Dearest..." Scourge said, before his hand suddenly swiped around her neck and Edward's, as he stole their medallions. Scourge looked and began to look at the microphone and bass guitar medallions, now formerly belonging to the queen and king respectively. "Especially, now that I have you 'precious' medallions!"

"Ha! You can't work them Scourge! Only we can control their powers..." Edward said, smugly.

"Who said anything about using their power like that?" Scourge countered. "Let's just say...you're going to have a family reunion with your kids...as dead bodies!"

Edward began to growl and struggle through his chains, ready to strangle him. "You bastard!"

"Thanks for the compliment~" Scourge taunted, as he casually twirled the medallions around his pointer finger and tauntingly whistle as he left the cell and locked back the door, while leaving Edward to glare and growl at him.

"Sonic, Sonia, Manic...where ever you three are...just be safe..." he muttered under his breath and looked up at the only window in his and his queen's cell have.

Aleena then closed her eyes and pray that Sonia and Manic managed to find their brother before it's too late...

Scourge...you little s**t...
