I have so many ideas for stories now... Wow. Anyways, this story is my take on what happens at the end and after Sonic Forces. Also, there will be Gadget (Custom wolf) x Infinite in this.
Infinite got up slowly onto one knee as the distortion around his battered body increased. "Impossible. I cannot be defeated!" He groaned and clenched his fist as Sonic and Gadget watched.
"Wrong, loser!" Sonic started. "The things that can't be defeated are the heart, soul, and bonds of friendship. Three things you and your counterfeit cronies lack!" The blue hedgehog explained.
Infinite sighed in frustration and punched the ground in defeat. Suddenly, the distortion increased. He realized what was happening. "No, wait!" He cried. "I can still fight!" The jackal pleaded. The gem on his chest did not listen to what he had to say.
Infinite began fazing in and out as he was suddenly shot up towards Eggman's primary control tower against his will as his two enemies watched, confused.
The gem brought him to the same room where Infinite was "created". The gem began to pull away from Infinite's chest. Because of this, whatever power that was left in him began to pull away and into the gem, causing electrical surges throughout his body and back into the gem. He screamed in pain and agony as this happened.
Finally, the surges stop. The distortion around his small body has stopped completely as both the he, and the gem fell to the ground.
Infinite fell to his knees and began falling unconscious. His only visible eye began to close. He fell flat on the ground and into complete unconsciousness.
"Your resistance is futile. Your saviour is no more."
"See, Infinite? Now we're getting to know each other!"
"SONIC!"
"Does anyone but you believe in your lies!?"
"You let the hedgehog LIVE? That's a great source of concern!"
Voices constantly echoed. A new one each time. The screams of people dying, crying and frightened were heard in the dream-like state. Faint images blew by, each one through the eyes of the same person. There was nothing but pain and satisfaction.
"Invincible instrument of destruction."
"Masked Clown!"
"That... thing!"
2 hours later, Infinite's POV
I slowly opened my eyes. I felt so groggy and sick. I opened them to see a ceiling and half my vision was obstructed by something. I sat up and rubbed my face, but felt a metallic surface instead was felt. Wait, why am I wearing a mask?
I took the mask off and dropped it on the floor, restoring my sight and looked around confused. I was in some kind of high-tech room. In front of me was a gem that looked dull and gray. It looked sinister and familiar at the same time. I didn't like the vibe.
Getting up, I grabbed a wall to help me keep standing. What the Hell happened to me? Why am I here? What was with that dream? I knew I wasn't going to get my answer. I proceeded to exit the room and into a hallway with a huge window as I struggled to walk.
I couldn't remember anything. I felt as if I had woken from a long sleep. Did I have a concussion? Or maybe even brain damage?
Somehow, I was able to stumble over the window and take a peek out. I immediately noticed that I was in some sort of tower and below, I could see a gigantic crowd of people below. I could hear their cheers. Maybe they can help me out. I thought.
I walked along the window, looking for a way down. Whatever facility this is has a familiar feeling, just like that weird gem.
Stumbling around, I heard those voices in my head again from that dream. I stopped and covered my face in frustration. "What the Hell is wrong with me!? Why is my mind so blank?!" I shouted, knowing again I wouldn't get an answer. As I pulled my hands away from my face, I noticed yet another thing.
I was wearing my black leather gloves that almost match the colour of my body, my special shoes and finally my white scarf around where my neck would be.
I noticed I was getting better. I wasn't feeling as groggy and crappy as I did when I woke up on the floor just mere minutes ago.
I found a door that said "ELEVATOR" on the top. I pressed the button to open it, and it did. I stepped inside, no longer needing the support from the walls. I pressed the "Ground Floor" button and waited as the evelvator took me down.
As it did, I rubbed my head in utter confusion and tried to remember anything that happened, but I couldn't.
I remember my name, which is Infinite. I live in an old hidden desert town with my fellow squadmates. I'm leader of Jackal Squad, that's right. It was me and six other members. We were outlaws and only got money from bounties we hunted down. It was something we are successful at.
We were planning on getting another bounties, but they're harder and harder to get nowadays, so I remember one of my men giving me a suggestion, but I couldn't remember what he said.
Nothing made sense. Why can't I remember anything after that, or before?! I was frustrated and ran one of my hands through my dreadlocks on the back of my head. I looked at the floor of the elevator and noticed the shoes I was wearing.
Finally after what felt like an hour, the elevator opened. I exited and walked down the long hallway, feeling much better than before. I reached the end. An automatic door opened up to the outside.
I walked outside, a gust of wind hit me. Finally, some fresh air. I thought. Time to get some answers.
I headed towards the huge group of people. All of them appeared to be anthros like me for whatever reason. Doesn't matter, they're still people.
As I walked, I looked around and really saw that parts of that big facility were destroyed. There were parts of machinery scattered along the ground too.
No one seemed to be acknowledging my presence so I decided to speak up. "Umm, hello? Can someome help me?" I asked. Two guys closest to me looked over once at me, blinked and looked at me with a face of fury.
"HEY!" He called out. "Infinite is here!"
"Well, yeah." I replied. "How do you know my-" I was cut off by everyone shutting up and glaring at me with hatred. I was confused again. My mind began to tell me that these people weren't very nice and told me to run, but I refused. Maybe they're mistaking me for someone else.
I could faintly hear people saying "It IS him.", "We need to do something, quick!" and "Get Sonic over here! Fast!" I noticed some readying some weird looking weapons.
"Get him before he kills anyone else!" Someome shouted. I gave a look of confusion and they began to shoot their weapons at me and charge.
I immediately turned and ran for dear life. I ran as fast as my jackal legs could run. I could see laser just narrowly missing me as I ran from the angry horde of people.
One of the lasers grazed my arm. I gasped in pain and held the wound while still running.
Unfortunately that distracted me from where I looking and tripped on a piece of metal and fell face-first onto the ground. I rolled over and looked at the horde with a terrified expression on my face.
"You think yer' smart hidin' your identity, didn't ya'?" A dog mocked.
"How does it feel to be scared?"
3rd person POV
As insults were hurled at a very confused Infinite, Gadget had been apart of the crowd and watched Infinite on the ground, hurt. The red wolf immediately noticed that it was Infinite, but not the same Infinite that everyone was accustomed to.
The intimidating metal mask was gone, so were his gloves and gem. His eyes weren't red, either. They were white, like anyone else's eyes. Those eyes contained fear and confusion. His voice was also much different. Instead of the intimidating dark tone, it was replaced by a much more innocent, and natural sounding voice.
Gadget felt sad and pity as he could do nothing as the resistance members began to gang beat the poor black-and-white jackal until he finally was knocked unconscious, again.
Well, there's the first chapter. May not be the absolute best written one as I'm a bit sick and tired. Appropriate reviews are welcome.
