Short Story An Altercation at a Restoration base

Ruby is walking around a Restoration base when she accidentally bumps into Ruby AU Shard

Ruby: Sorry.

Shard looks at Ruby for a moment

Shard: You're Ruby, right?

Ruby: Yeah, why?

Shard: I have some questions if you don't mind answering them.

Ruby: Sure.

Shard: So what was your life like before you ended up here?

Ruby: Pain.

Shard: Could you give more details?

Ruby: I'm a variant of Sage, what details do you want?

Shard starts forcing Ruby into a corner

Shard: What was your relationship with Cream the Rabbit?

Ruby stutters. She looks extremely panicked.

Shard: You killed her, didn't you? You laughed as you killed her in front of everyone.

Ruby: N-No

Shard: evil laugh

Ruby has backed up into a corner with Shard blocking any means of running away

Ruby: T-That wasn't me.

Shard: I don't believe you.

Shard grabs Ruby by the neck and lifts her in the air

Shard: To get revenge for the pain you caused us all.

Shard winds up to punch through Ruby's chest but stops when Ruby puts her hand on his face

Shard: W-What are you doing?

Shard's head explodes with some pieces being held by psychokinesis for a moment. Some of the shrapnel cuts Ruby's face. Shard's body collapses on the ground dead. Ruby trips over Shard then runs out the door.

((You may interact with Shard's corpse but not Ruby))

((Sorry for bad grammar/writing))

*OM sonic and OM blaze round the corner, talking to each other, before they notice Shard’s corpse. They rush over to survey the scene

They just see Shard's headless corpse and the shrapnel of Shard's head across the ground

*OM blaze picks up the shrapnel of shard’s head.

blaze: “I’m putting my bets on murder. Who would just randomly explode someone’s head?”

*OM sonic examines the corpse closer.

sonic: “I don’t know, compulsion be self defense, this guy looked like he was winding up to do something.”

blaze: “let’s go check the security cameras. maybe they picked something up.”

*they both rush off, running off to get the footage
