Just One More Chance
I had this idea lingering in my head for a while. This story is more of a personal situation between the heroine, Jupiter the wolf and Infinite, the villain. So in this first scene, is inspired by a fan, comic by Finikart called "Scars" it's beautiful! And I feel this part can lead up to what will happened between the two, their feeling for each other and what will happen at the end. Sonic characters are owned by SEGA, I do not own and credit for comic is to Finikart. Enjoy!
Lost... humiliated... defeated, Infinite was left stranded in the desert. His wounds had opened and was bleeding out badly. "My squad, my pride… I lost it all" he said to himself. "Where did I go wrong? How?" he then collapsed on the ground, he thought it was best to just die off, everyone else would probably agree. As his eyes were closing, he was awoken minutes maybe hours later to see a kid in front of him. But he recognized this kid. He was in the war, his name is Gadget the wolf. "AHH! IT'S YOU! STAY THE HELL AWAY FROM ME!" Infinite said. "No, I can't leave you to die, your wounds are still opened up. Maybe if we can just get you to the hospital-". SLASH! Infinite cut Gadget across his left eye and yelled "I TOLD YOU TO STAY AWAY FROM ME-". He noticed the blood dripping down Gadget's eyelids, his glasses broke on the floor and he helplessly staring at him. Infinite couldn't take it anymore and got up. "Just leave me alone, leave me to die" he said, Gadget grabbed him but he pushed him away. "I won't leave you to die-" "so for what? It's no good". "I lost everything" he continued to walk until Gadget tugged under his arm "I told you-" "Infinite, he killed my comrades, nearly destroyed the world, and scared me to death. So… I'm kinda glad he's gone" the look of guilt was brought upon Infinite, something… something in his heart grew. "I'm Gadget by the way, what's your name?" he smiled at the torn-up Jackal. "...Zero, my name is Zero" he replied. Minutes of talking passed by Zero, began to wonder where Gadget was taking him. "Where are you taking me?" he turned to the red wolf. "Well to a cousin of mine who might take you in" Gadget said. "Jupiter the wolf" "Jupiter?" he thought "man, these parents give these kids crazy-stupid names. AH! What am I talking about, I'm named...well after a number". So after walking for two and a half hours, they eventually made it to Green Hill. a very tropical area where Sonic likes to hang out with his friends. Jupiter lived 20 minutes away from the city and where she lived was like a modern futuristic suburb.
Gadget rang the doorbell and opened the door was an attractive Aqua-furred female wolf with turquoise eyes wrapped up in a housecoat. "Gadget, what are you doing up at 6 am- *GASP*! Gadget! What the heck!" June yelled. "Shhhhh! Infinite is injured badly, can you please just let him stay here until everything from the war cools off?" Gadget pled. "No, he killed our men and murdered my best friend" June answered. "It's no use. I'll just leave" Infinite disgruntled, Gadget looked back at June "please June,we can help him become a better person. What if he goes off and does the exact same thing?" he cried. June shook her head then turned back but, something came across her mind. "Wait! If Gadget is able to forgive Infinite, how much more so am I willing to help a native mobian?" the thought passed June. Her tribe called "Jade" is well-known as notorious family-orientated, passionate, and forgiving. It's a trait that's common among the mobians. (I will tell about the tribes later). "Gadget!" she called him "yes! You'll let him stay?" "*sign* yes, but! He needs to be respectful" she added. Infinite signed out of irritation and walked in their house. "Gadget, will you please explain to me what happened to your eye?" she turned to him. "Uhhh well, I'll explain if you get me and Infinite cleaned up" Gadget requested "sure, whatever!" she replied.
As June was cleaning Gadget's left eye up she looked at him and said "... I don't trust him" "who?" "you know who I'm talking about Gadget, Infinite. What if he's using us, what if he hurts me, you, or Lance?" she threw her concern at him. "Trust me! He won't and if he does, I'll take the whole responsibility for it" Gadget vowed. "What did he do to you?" "I tried to help him but he thought I was gonna kill him so he cut my eye with his nails". "*sign* you're too nice Gadget" she stood "I know" he replied with a grin. June couldn't help but roll her eyes at his stupidity at the moment. Next was Infinite.
She began to tend for his cuts with an alcohol and put a special type in his open, bleeding wounds. Then proceeded to wrap them with bandages "you were trained for this?" Infinite asked "...Yes, by I.D." she slowly replied, not making eye contact with him. "... Did Eggman put you out?" she asked still upset with him. "Yes! I can't stand that bastard, he didn't even tell me about where my squad is. They could be dead or alive. I wish I could have saved them…. They-they were like family to me, my only family. June stopped and looked at Infinite to hear more. James, Eliot, Levi, and… Cassidy. "Who's Cassidy?" she asked curiously. "My only female squad member. She helped us whenever she could and always did what I asked. She was least of my issues between the four. Dang it I miss her. I never told her…. That I loved her". A quick, selfish thought passed by June "he was always talking about how beautiful or how hot I was. How come he never brought her up?". No doubt, he thought Jupiter was beautiful. He had a secret love for attractive female mobians especially wolves (no matter what tribe their from) except vixens. But he always had love for his squad member, Cassidy. He remembered the first night they spent alone.
"Heh! You're not tired yet?" the female jackal laughed at her boss and superior, they had just finished an exhausting and trenching mission. Now they were relaxing in their tents near Guardian Rock. The male jackal came in and wiped off the dirt off his chest. "No, I just came to tell you were retreating" he said to the half-sleep assassin. "WHAT?" "apparently, one of the guards caught us and called the police on us and now they're searching through Guardian Rock. We have to retreat. Pack your stuff Cassidy". Before he left, she asked if he could stay. "Do you think it's worth it to leave? Can't we just fight them here?-" she asked. "We'll just hid for the moment then return back here. It's just for a few days" he said while putting his hands on her face. "I promise…" he then leaned for a kiss. It was like a sensational kiss that lasted a minute. After letting go, they stared at each other deep into their eyes. Cassidy didn't see a freak with heterochromatic eyes like every one of those trash mobians saw. She saw a dominant hero in her eyes. He also had thought of her for a while, the way she looked, her moves, she was beautiful in her own way and he loved that. They began to kiss with more affection and didn't let go. He slowly but gently laid her down. While stroking her hair, she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him closer. Breaking off the kiss, Cassidy said "I want you, I want you now Zero!" "I want you too Cassidy". Then they began to kiss even harder "oh Zero!" Cassidy cried while they nuzzled together, he began to kiss her neck softly and lovingly. "Oh! Zero! Let's make love here please?" she begged. Zero nodded. He got up from atop of Cassidy and zipped her tent up. The whole night they made love with no concern for the police. After that night, the whole group retreated to the city of Metropolis.
"I'm sorry you lost someone you loved very dearly" June pitted. She understood losing someone you loved dearly. Her best friend Donna and her ex-husband (who will be explained later). The family she really has is her own that lives in Green Hill or in Northern Tundra. Suddenly, her 3 year-old son Lance Diego skipped through the hallway into the living room, cheerfully sing a native Jadean song. "I don't think you even remember this boy. This is my son Lance Diego. Say hi" June smiled and picked him, then she moved him closer. Zero doesn't like children and pretty much hates everyone and everything. He then pushed the child away from him and yelled "Get that dang child away from me women!". She was shocked by his rude attitude, he could've at least said "Sorry, I don't like children" but NOPE! He pushed the child away from him. He stared at both mother and son. Lance looked back at him with anger and June said "...fine" she put the child down and went upstairs to her room. Gadget looked at Infinite with an upset look "seriously Zero? You couldn't say it in a nicer way?" "whatever! She'll get over it" "yeah but she let you stayed-" "and I can leave if I'm a bothersome. I don't care!". Gadget signed and said to himself "this isn't gonna be easy". Later that night, June finished dinner everyone was in the house except Zero. He was outside enjoying the cool breeze. He was just laying on the branches of their tree. June slide the door open and put the food on their backyard table. His stomach started to growl until he heard June's voice. "Don't worry, I won't let you starve. The food was made 20 minutes ago, here". The food was a well prepared traditional Jadean food. Lemming meat cooked with vegetation greens. "It smells good" he said "you're welcome, Infinite" she said irritated at him. He jumped off the branch and walked up to her. "Call me Zero". Her eyes grew wider. "Zero? That's yo-your real name?" confused June. "Yeah!" he said straight-forward. "Call me June instead of Jupiter, Zero" she said. He looked down with a sad expression on his face. "Do you need to talk?" "no" "are you sure?" "*sign* yes June". "Okay , Zero. Enjoy the meal" June said before leaving him alone. He looked at the plate and whispered "...Cassidy".
First chapter done! Phew! Next one will get interesting!
