Chapter 1

"Hey! You're taking off too? I was thinking the same thing." Sonic look at the horizon of the setting sun. While the red wolf rookie walk up to him.

"You gonna keep moving forward? No matter what yeah?" The blue hedgehog turn around and look at him. While Gadget look up at him with calm expression.

"Heh you and I aren't so different." Sonic make his left hand into a fist, while Gadget did the same with the opposite hand.

"See ya later buddy!" The both comrades give each other one last fistbump. Sonic started to running off to the right going on his own adventure or try to find someone who needs help from the aftermath of the war against Eggman.

Gadget watch Sonic go until he disappears out of his line of sight. And start heading to the opposite direction jumping off the balcony edge, aiming and firing his grading hood to building to building. On his own adventure and adventure he lone can complete. Below him the residents of Sunset Heights city are starting the rebuilding process, scraping anything that was left undamage from the first attack. That started the war that had the eggman empire army easily control ninety nine dot nine percent of the world.

Along with kidnapping and caught Mobius long time hero Sonic the hedgehog, imprison in spaceport for six months. That at time Gadget was fighting against Infinite alongside his comrades in the center of the city, who were seriously injured or even worse death overcome them. Gadget couldn't get the thought out of his mind along with his final battle with Infinite by Sonic's side. Infinite's words were still fresh in his mind poking at him like needles.

"Friends aren't nothing but a fleeting illusion. You can count on nobody but yourself." Gadget wonder what he means by that, did Infinite have something or someone he care about before the war? The more Gadget thought of it, the more questions were left unanswered. And the more Infinite's words repeat in his mind as an broken record player.

"No, wait! I can still fight!" along with that final say before his disappearance seem to confuse the red wolf an bit. Have the phantom ruby break infinite's mental state of mind? Or was there something else, that the restresence even Dr. Eggman didn't know about the phantom as much than the data they gather?

The city had buildings collapse on one another leaving debreath and rumble behind. Some have damages from the fire and badniks attacks, along with the residents still aiding the injured in made-shape hospital tents. While the difference resistance unit teams are gathering supplies and developing teams to start on reconstruction. Leftover badniks parts were collected and checked to see if they can be recycled to be part of the reconstruction process. The wispeaons are either returned to the resistance, scrap for parts, or keep by the residents.

The setting sun's rays give an start of an new day and reminder that the war is won. Gadget landed on the pavement his grabbing hook return to his dim green and black color gloves. Standing in front of Sunset Heights city enter gate with look of hesitation display on his face. That this decision will test his loyalty to the resistance. His reflection of a person, he knows that once he go through that gate his journey will begin. And there no turning back, one last solo mission that he feel that he need to complete on his own.

One last look at the city that he called home, the place when the first attack of the war started, the place where he witnessed his follow comrades perish at the hands of the Eggman empire army and Infinite. With that last thought an side Gadget dismiss any last minute thoughts forming in his head and started to step through the gate and leaving the city behind in the setting sun's hands. His journey to find infinite and reform have begin.
