There's a new general in the legion..... and he's got plans!

DEATHSCYTHE WISH
Part 1: Rise of a general

600 hours
A figure stirred from its bunk at the sound of the wakeup call. He quickly went and showered, and then dressed in his robe, but not before putting on his glasses. He walked down the hall with his comrades, off to do their assigned work and chores. His assignment: go to the training hall.

630 hours
He started with his normal routine of stretching and running laps, and then went on to beating on his favorite punching bag. He punched and kicked it vigorously, as always. Once that was done, he went off to get his normal breakfast of bacon and eggs. But before he could start eating, a shadow loomed over him.
"Uh oh..." he sighed.

"Well, 'ello, twerp!" the taller echidna laughed.

"What do you want, now, Xenin?" he snarled "My lunch money? My breakfast?"

"Funny....." Xenin laughed "Very funny.... you really shouldn't talk to your superiors that way, especially to a GENERAL."

"Yeah, well, I'm gonna be a general one day." he said.

"Fat chance of that ever happening!" Xenin sneered "You'll always be a little loser legionnaire trooper! You a general?! I'll eat a bug if that ever happened! I laugh at the thought...."

"Hmm....." he said "Just ONE bug? You eat plenty of bugs already. Heh-heh heh-heh hahahahahaha"

Xenin grabbed him by the collar. "Hmm.... I'll eat a bug that I never would think of eating, and besides, is that the best to come from a geek boy?!" he laughed.

"Xenin, I think you should put me down right now." he said.

"And who's gonna make me, geek-boy?!" he snickered "You???!!!"

"No..." he replied "HER."

"What the HELL is going on HERE?!" Kommissar yelled "Xenin, again?! Sigh..... Get outta here, NOW!"

Xenin put the legionnaire down and walked off. "Geek-boy." he whispered to himself.

"I was coming to see you anyway." she said "The great Dimitri wants to see you, it looks urgent."

"Really?" the boy asked "I wonder what it is? More training? More cybernetic implants?" he said sarcastically.

"He didn't say." she told him "Just go. I'll come with you just in case Xenin tries anything funny."

920 hours
He walked along the hallway to the board of commissioners and generals to see what was so urgent. He just knew it was probably something boring or another test or implant. He then walked in the door, followed by Kommissar. Xenin was there, but he said nothing, seeing Kommissar there.

"Mr. Winter...." Dimitri began "I have been watching and reviewing your actions and obidience and have come to this.... no one else knows about this, I went on the decision alone."

"Great." he thought "I knew it was gonna suck."

"I have decided that...." Dimitri said, pausing for a second "....that you have done enough to be...."

"I knew it was gonna be bad." he thought "Probably be tested on some more or be assigned to some tough job."

"A general for the Dark Legion! You passed my approval, General Winter! Congratulations!"

"What???!!!" Xenin screamed in protest "You can't make him a general! He's a total geek! He can't! He's not even of our SPECIES, for pete's sake!"

"XENIN, I HAVE HEARD ENOUGH!!!" Dimitri yelled "He will be and IS a general! I decided it myself! And species doesn't matter, he's a legionnaire, and a darned good one at THAT! What's wrong with you? You sound like you lost a bet!"

Winter went over to Dimitri and whispered... "He said he'd eat a bunch of horrid tasting bugs if I became a general. I really don't think it's necessary, but he DID bet on it."

"Xenin...." Dimitri commanded.

"Yes?" Xenin asked.

"What kind of bugs would you like to eat in front of the entire legion?" he said with a chuckle "Remember, they gotta be GROSS!"

"What?" Xenin said surprised "It was ONLY an express...."

"Ha bup bup bup." Dimitri said, waving his hand.

"But....."

"Bup."

"But... but... aww, mmmmmaaaaannnnnn!"

The rest of the board including its new member began to supress giggles and snickering with not much of success.

1830 hours
"Now, repeat after me....." Dimitri said "I, Jason W. Winter, solemnly swear all loyalty to the Dark Legion. I will not, and repeat, will not betray the legion in any way, shape or form. If I feel the need to betray, I will supress it. And if I do betray the Legion, may die with dishonor. I am legion, I am power, I am loyal, I am one with technology."

JW quickly repeated Dimitri's words. He was then bestowed with a badge and his choice of a weapon.

"This way, please..." Rykor said, pointing to the armory. JW went in, followed by all of the generals, except for Xenin, who was probably busy throwing up.

There were tons of weapons. Laser guns, laser swords, many many advanced weapons. JW already had a laser blaster that was given to all dark legionnaires. Now, he could choose a bigger, more advanced sort of weapon, but he didn't. He picked up a reaper scythe, around 2 feet taller than him. The blade was nice and sharp.

"This one." he said.

"Positive?" Kommissar asked.

"Very positive." he replied "I want to be a unique general with a name to strike terror into the hearts of others. I shall call myself........
GENERAL DEATH SCYTHE! Heh heh heh hahahahahahahaha!"

4 days later, at around 4:30 pm
Lara-le hummed happily as she dusted the mantlepiece. Her son was coming over to see her. She was very happy to have a son like him. Although she and the boy's father were divorced, she had just recently married a very amazing man..... Wynmacher. He was a professional chef of the highest order. He made amazing meals every night. She never had to cook with Wyn around.
"Dearest, you really don't have to do that..." Wyn said as he came in "I know you're nervous, after all, we haven't seen him since your wedding. But you really should just sit down and rest."

"I guess..." she replied, sitting down, when there was a knock at the door. Wyn went to go get it "It might be Knuckles." he said, looking through the peephole. What he saw was a couple of Dark Legionnares. "Lara! It's a bunch of Dark Legionnaires!" he yelled.

"What?!" she yelled "Tell them to go away."

"Get out of here, you creeps!" he yelled.

"Okay, then..." said one.

"Sure told them...." Wyn chuckled.

Suddenly, there was a loud banging sound. And then, laser fire.

"Good thing that door is laser-proof!" Wyn said, going to comfort Lara.

Suddenly, there was a loud noise as a giant bl;ade cut straight into the door. The legionnaires then knocked it down.

"Grr.... Get outta here, you nutsos!" Wyn yelled "Or else!" Suddenly, he was blasted by a knockout laser. Lara tried to scream. But they grabbed hold of her.

"EEEK! Let go of me!" she yelled.

"Quiet!" yelled their leader, a dark legionnare carrying a scythe "There's no way of escape!" he laughed "The Great Dimitri wants a word with you!"

Lara knew he was right. She couldn't escape. She had to surrender. She knew that her son would find out and rescue her. But then she knew why they were kidnapping her...... as bait for a trap for her son and his friends!

"You'll never get away with this!" she yelled, before she fainted.

"Trust me..." JW laughed "We will. Now then, back to base! Let's go! Heh heh heh hahahahahahahahahahaha...." With that he pressed a button on his belt, and they disappeared in a bright flash of light. The mother of Knuckles T. Echidna had been kidnapped.
