(Hit space for the next slide. There's three of them.) Had an idea for the "Dark Team" in @Gangstermango's game, Scratch Adventure! I'm working on the lore now, but I took old, now forgotten sprites, and brought them back for these ideas! For the current lore, read the Notes and Credits.
Before the Scratch Team (the group of Scratch Cat, Tera, and Nano) came around, they were the natural protectors. Their methods were... controversial, but they more or less kept people safe. But when (whoever the true evil force ends up being) started to wreak havoc, they were far outmatched. So the Scratch Team came in and rose to fame, leaving them in the dust. After fifteen years of obscurity, they'd had enough. They found out about the chaos emeralds, and knew that their power would easily help overtake the Scratch Team. So they set out to find the emeralds, and will stop at nothing to get them, and rise back to the fame they had before.
