Somewhere in the field , a gray rabbit , named Thumper ,
happily hops along the field before he stops to sniff some flowers until something rustled in the bushes behind him , prompting him to perk up with a frightened expression and gasp.
After a pause , the creatures pounce and start to chase Thumper ; The creature turned out to be Scourge and the Deadly Six.
Back on the hill , Sonic wakes up as he hears a distant scream. He looks around until he spots the evil group chasing the innocent bunny . Sonic glares angrily as he speeds off and jumps over the fence before he continues to pursue them .By the time they made it into a grass-less clearing , Sonic continues to charge at them with full power. But when Scourge turns around with a nasty glare , Sonic gasps as he stop and trips before he falls in his bottom. Scourge and the gang turn their attention towards the blue youngster as Thumper , who was hiding in a hole , took the opportunity to escape...
Scourge- ( Mockingly ) You wanna be a hero , blue ?
Infuriated , Sonic lets out an angered yell and charges . But before he could tackle him , Zom Zom punches him in the ribcage , causing him a
To fall on his good side. But Sonic quickly gets onto his knees as the 6 circle him and try to attack him but Sonic kept kicking and punching at them. But before he could tackle Zeena to the ground , she swiftly dodges , making him fall on his stomach but quickly get on his fours.Scourge chuckles scornfully at him but he quickly stops as he realizes who he is.
Scourge- Wait , you're Chuck's nephew. Sonic , right ? They left you in charge ? ( Chuckles ) Oh , that's precious ! ( Chuckles , then glares ) You thought you could fill his shoes ?
Sonic looks down as he tries to not let the mean green hedgehog's words get the better of him.
Scourge- Sonic , where were you ? Were you off having fun ? Hanging out with your barnyard buddies ? You know , you could've made a difference if you were there for him , but you weren't , were ya ?
Sonic pants as he proceeds to look down at his hands as Scourge continues to belittle him.
Scourge- Okay , from here on out , here's how it's gonna be. We show up , you look the other way--A few animals missing here and there.( Shrugs with a sick-sweet smile ) Hey , that's the natural order ( Whispers ) It'll be out little secret.
Scourge turns around to leave but he also has something in mind as he looks back at Sonic.
Scourge- Oh , and Chuck's nephew , if you think about getting a sudden burst of courage. ( Unsheathes his knife threateningly ) We slaughter every animal in sight. ( Puts his knife back) Now , you go back , make everyone feel safe , and we'll be seeing you tomorrow night. ( Jokingly ) That's a date.
Scourge lunges at Sonic as if he's going to pounce him , making the young hedgehog flinch in fear. Everyone laughs at the helpless Sonic.
Scourge- See you around !
Scourge cackles evilly before he and his group dash off and disappear over the hill where the full moon's shining above them as Sonic looks at their direction in hurt , guilt , and humiliation , taking Scourge's insults to heart.
