Scourgiona

**Scourgiona** is the romantic relationship between Scourge the Hedgehog and Fiona Fox.

## Canon

During his time impersonating the real Sonic, Evil Sonic takes the opportunity to flirt with several of the female Freedom Fighters, with Fiona being among those he'd seduced. The deception was eventually revealed when the real Sonic returns from Anti-Mobius and sends his evil counterpart packing, but Fiona's time with him left a profound impact on her. In an effort to try and replicate her experience with Evil Sonic, Fiona strikes up a relationship with Sonic, but finds that he's too vanilla to really enjoy. With that in mind, Fiona began dating Evil Sonic - who, during that time, became Scourge the Hedgehog after an incident - while still keeping up the appearance that she was dating the regular Sonic. The only others that knew about this infidelity were the Destructix, who Scourge was a member of at the time. Fiona would end up suddenly disappearing without a trace a significant number of times, which Sonic took notice of.

### Truth of the Heart

On one particular day - while the Chaotix were grilling Rouge on her association with Dr. Finitevus - Scourge and Sleuth Dawg (another of the Destructix) arrived at Freedom HQ with the intent on taking her out and taking back the doctor's warp ring. As a part of this, Sleuth held Tails and Fiona hostage while Scourge fought Sonic. During their fight, Scourge reveals to Sonic that he's there not just for revenge but also to see his girlfriend, who he implies Sonic is with. At the same time, Sleuth taunts Fiona by revealing that he knows about her and Scourge dating behind Sonic's back - right within Tails' earshot. Ultimately, Scourge and Sleuth get the warp ring and escape, but not before the hedgehog waves Fiona goodbye.

    Tails felt the guilt of knowing about Scourge's and Fiona's relationship, particularly due to his own feelings for Fiona. It got to the point that, when approached by Amy, he revealed everything Sleuth told him to her. This enraged Amy, who decided to confront Fiona about it. Seeing that she's been found out, Fiona admits to the relationship but points out that Sonic wouldn't believe her about it. Sonic, himself, happens upon the fight and has Fiona walk with him to talk about the accusations and her recent disappearances. Fiona tries to point out all the times she's helped Sonic, but Sonic points out four different people - two of which he absolutely trusts - claimed she was with Scourge and that she didn't show interest in Sonic until after Scourge impersonated him. With the charade over, Scourge comes out of hiding as he and Fiona reveal to Sonic that they're dating while mocking Sonic for his luck with dating.

Tails - who'd been eavesdropping the whole time - promptly arrives to disuade Fiona from going with Scourge. In response, she brutally slaps the fox away, prompting a fight. During the fight, Scourge admits to Sonic that he's not only dating Fiona to mess with Sonic - he's doing it because Fiona chose to be evil and he finds it attractive. The fight ends when Amy arrives to backup Sonic and Tails, prompting Scourge and Fiona to escape via warp ring. The three tell the rest of the Freedom Fighters about Scourge and Fiona being together, starting with Antoine (who's anger at that drives him to finally propse to and marry Bunnie).

### Enerjak: Reborn

Scourge and Fiona escaped back to Dr. Finitevus, and began reporting movements of his enemies on Angel Island to him while he was busy with the revival of the entity Enerjak, which they witness. As Enerjak rampages across the world, Finitevus learned that about a weapon that could be used to defeat him and had Scourge, Fiona, and the Destructix stop anyone from getting it. They intercepted Sonic - accompanied by Julie-Su and Locke - and tried to stop them from obtaining the weapon, only to be surprised when Sonic destroys it due to having his own plan in stopping him. Soon, they witness an empowered Sonic and Enerjak fighting, which prompts the Destructix to leave via warp ring - Scourge and Fiona, however, don't go with them. Instead, Scourge intends to leave to another world via an enhanced warp ring he had. Fiona's unsure about going to another world, but Scourge points out that Sonic's and Enerjak's fight could tear the world apart while also noting that he's wanting to do something about what Sonic said to him during their last encounter. With that, Fiona agrees to go with Scourge.

### Moebius and the Suppression Squad

The world that Scourge and Fiona end up on is the former's home of Anti-Mobius. Soon after arriving, Scourge quickly goes to work and takes over the entire world and becoming its king, setting it apart from the regular Mobius just as he set himself apart from Sonic. As a part of this, Fiona became his queen. With the world under their thumbs, Scourge, Fiona, and the Suppression Squad - the Moebius version of the Freedom Fighters - infiltrated Freedom HQ through its Star Post network with the intent on capture. During the ensuing fight, Scourge is nearly knocked into the portal back to Moebius, only to be saved at the last minute by Fiona, only for him to order her and the rest of the Squad to keep fighting. Ultimately, they manage to force the Freedom Fighters into retreat and capture Freedom HQ.

Despite now being an advantageous position, the Suppression Squad receives an unexpected visitor in Metal Sonic, who ends up picking a fight with Scourge. Fiona watches the two fight, as well as when Sonic and Scourge's own robotic duplicate join the fray. Fiona tries to join in to help Scourge, but he refuses her as that would make him look weak. Ultimately, however, Scourge acquiesces and orders the Suppression Squad to help him and Sonic out, the extra help easily destroying the robotic doubles. After the fight, Sonic retreats with the promise of returning to reclaim Freedom HQ, which Scourge - with Fiona hanging off him - gladly waits for.

While Scourge and Fiona wait for the Freedom Fighters to return, the Suppression Squad - now tired of Scourge's rule - plan to mutiny against him. To that end, Miles (Moebius Tails) strikes an alliance with the Freedom Fighters and formulate a plan to send Scourge back to Moebius. The plan is sprung and Scourge is forced to fight the combined force of both teams. In the middle of the mutiny, Sonic arrives through the Star Posts from his time in Moebius and is briefed about the situation by Nicole.

Before Sonic can assist in defeating Scourge, he's met by Fiona trying to keep him away. As they fight, Fiona claims to not be doing it for Scourge as her trust had been burned too many times, but Sonic doesn't believe that and claims she's fighting quite hard for him. At that, Fiona tears up as she stands by her claim. The Squad finally manages to get Scourge through the Star Post portal and shut down the network, thereby separating him from Fiona - who escapes Freedom HQ in the chaos. Scourge is ultimately defeated by Sonic - though not before calling Fiona smart for escaping when she did - and incarcerated in Zone Jail for his crimes against multiple worlds.

### Scourge: Lockdown

Determined to reunite with Scourge, Fiona reforms the Destructix and - with help from a bargain with Dr. Finitevus - enter the Cosmic Interstate. Once there, she has the Destructix cause enough havoc that the Zone Cops arrest them and send them to Zone Jail. Upon arrival and being processed, Fiona and the Destructix manage to reunite with Scourge in the mess hall by saving him from his cellmate beating him up. Scourge, however, isn't happy because the Destructix being around him will lead to trouble with the other prisoners and promptly runs away. He ends up running into another gang and is nearly beaten until the Destructix save him again, with Fiona claiming to the leader that Scourge is theirs before walking him away.

In a secluded area, Fiona learns how Scourge has been treated. She also sees that he's lost his confidence because he's been alone the whole time. Not willing to see Scourge in this state, Fiona points out that he can have a gang and still be the baddest one of the group. This talk brings Scourge out of his funk and convinces him to go with Fiona's plan. Scourge goes on to make amends with the rest of the Destructix, who he offended when they first rescued him, all the while pretending to be still be subordinate to them. All the while, Scourge feels the sting of Fiona leaving him alone, to which she explains she wouldn't have gone the lengths to break him out if she didn't love him.

With the Destructix back on their side, Fiona and Scourge execute the plan, which causes a massive jailbreak of the entire facility. Scourge and the Destructix fight through the riot into the prison yard while Fiona goes to get their gear back, only to find it's gone. When she informs Scourge of this, he tells her and the Destructix to find their gear while covers for them (which is really just a reason to take revenge on all the prisoners that bullied him). As they search, Fiona remarks that she knew Scourge was worth it before reminding herself he'll need to play ball when the time's right as she doesn't want to betray him again. After reacquiring their gear from a pair of Moebians - including Scourge's warp ring - Fiona manages to call Scourge over to her and, together with the Destructix, manage to escape Zone Jail through the ring. The two find themselves back on Moebius, and Scourge takes charge as he has something ready.

## Fanon

Scourgiona is a fairly popular ship for the *Sonic* fandom. Although it came about at the expense of not onebut two well liked ships on Fiona's side, this ship is widely regarded as being a good match up as Scourge and Fiona compliment each other's personality, as well as the lengths Fiona would go to for Scourge. The canonizing of this ship is seen as a turning point for Fiona's character by fans: turning from a somewhat bland character that seemed to only be a love interest for Sonic/Tails and not much else into a more interesting figure who now had more room to grow.

It's not without it's opposition, however. Detractors of the ship feel this pairing is a writing cop-out meant to break Fiona away from Sonic so the writers could continue to pair him up with more popular choices like Amy or Sally. They also zero in on Scourge's bouts of apathy towards Fiona, and even moments that give off the implication of an abusive relationship.

On AO3, this ship does suffer from a comparatively small number of fics, with tagged entries numbering in 30's currently. It's Fiona's second-most written ship behind Tailiona. For Scourge, it's his third-most written ship behind Sonourge and Zonourge.
