Chapter 2: Ruby Delusions:

As the Phantom Ruby-wielding Jackal flew over Shang Mu, he was impressed by how big it was… 'This place is massive, too bad that I'm going to tear it down piece by piece…' Infinite thought to himself as he landed in an empty street, he spotted a poster of a red panda in red clothes and a red hat, it was a poster for the now-mayors mayoral campaign "This is nothing but pitiful propaganda..." Infinite said to himself, Infinite flew up into the sky and sighted the palace, where the mayor was "Hmph, this will be a good wake-up call to this world" Infinite spoke, his voice as monotone as usual, he flew to the palace. Meanwhile, the three girls were going as fast as they could to Shang Mu, "Ugh! Why does this trip have to be to long?" Carol complained, "We'll get there soon! Just keep going!" Lilac reassured, "I see a small red glow hovering above Shang Mu!" Milla exclaimed and pointed to it, "That must be the guy!" Carol assumed. "He's near the palace, so chances are he's going for Mayor Zao!" Lilac realised, "I'm shifting my bike into overdrive! Get on Lilac!" Carol exclaimed. Lilac hopped onto the motorcycle, riding on the very back as the bike rocketed towards Shang Mu, after a half an hour, the girls made it to Shang Mu and walked inside. Meanwhile, Infinite was ready to infiltrate the palace, Infinite flew straight at the roof, breaking through it and landing on the floor, the few guards in the room, staff members of Zao's labs and Mayor Zao himself were shocked when they saw Infinite burst through the roof and stare at them, "So, your the 'mayor' of this city?" Infinite asked, "Before I say ANYTHING, Who are YOU! You just burst through the roof!" Zao demanded, "You may refer to me as 'Infinite' in the few minutes this city remains intact" Infinite calmly said, "You will NOT destroy my kingdom! I refuse to let this happen!

5+ REFUSE

Infinite was confused about how Zao did that, but it didn't matter to him, "Not everything will happen on your terms" Infinite retorted, "Guards! Seize him at once!" Zao yelled, making the guards run at Infinite, Infinite just swiftly dodged and kicked one of the guards over, causing a domino effect as they all fall onto each other, "Seriously?!" Zao questioned, Infinite picked Zao up off of his feet and flew out of the palace… And the trio of girls were just in time, crowds were gathering around the Avalice saviours, but all of the civilians backed away when they saw Infinite with Zao, "Hey! What are you doing?!" Lilac yelled, Infinite noticed the three girls and laughed, it started out small but then he was laughing like a maniac, "A few children think they can take ME on?! I almost feel sorry for you three" Infinite taunted, "With the power of the three of us combined, we can send you flying back to where you came!" Lilac yelled back, her words caused Infinite to stop for a while… then drop kick Zao into a crowd, Infinite flew back down slowly everything glitched for a few seconds, when the glitching stopped, Infinite was standing closer, "Friends are nothing but a fleeting illusion, you can count on nobody but yourself!" Infinite spoke, even more monotone than usual, Milla was getting a bit scared of Infinite due to his evil look, twisted philosophy and his fearlessness, Infinite noticed this but pretended not to, "Heheheheh" Infinite laughed, "I'm feeling like giving a bit of mercy… so I'll spare two of you…." Infinite looked like he was about to fly straight into Lilac or Carol… but at the last minute he flew into Milla, grabbing her by her neck and hovering in the air, "And kill one of you!" Lilac and Carol looked up at him in anger, "Let her go!" Carol and Lilac both yelled at the same time, "As you wish" Infinite spoke, and with that, he dropped Milla, a few spikes rose from the ground as well, Milla quickly flailed around her arms, legs and ears, floating away from the danger… Lilac and Carol were caught up in making sure Milla was okay that they didn't have time to react to Infinite Dive Kicking Carol and Kicking Lilac into the air, Infinite went after Lilac, slamming her back down when he thought she was up high enough. Lilac Dragon Boosted at Infinite, but Infinite countered with creating a virtual reality, "W-What on Avalice is this?!" Lilac stammered, her reaction time was slowed, so she didn't have the time to react to something hard hitting her back, the being hovered beside Infinite, Lilac looked up to see the Robotical Hedgehog, Metal Sonic, Carol and Milla ran over to Lilac, "What is that thing?!" Carol thought out loud, Milla didn't see that something that felt like it was made of water grab her ears and spin her around until she got dizzy, the creature threw her at Carol, making her fall over with Milla on top of her, still dizzy, Carol pushed Milla off of her, Milla got over the dizziness and looked at the creature that grabbed her, "What is that guy?" Milla asked, Carol turned around to see a kick to the face by another figure, Carol tried to Wild Kick the person, but he teleported out of the way and stomp kicked her in the neck, the figures rocket boots were also blazing when he kicked her, leaving a burn mark, Carol was able to land a Wild Claw on the person, but he also kicked her beside Lilac and Milla, the two other figures stood beside Infinite, the watery one was the Water God of destruction, Chaos, and The Ultimate life form, Shadow The Hedgehog, the clones stood there, "I can taste the terror in you, children, all of that anxiety and doubt… It's delicious…" Infinite monotonically spoke, "Flee, screaming, and I'll let you live" Infinite said, with that, the three heroines of Avalice ran away, screaming in fear as Infinite threw spheres of red energy at them as they fled, "Now… as for you civilians…" Infinite said. After a few hours, Lilac, Carol and Milla made it back to the treehouse, they were all shocked at Infinite's powers and how strong they were, but the thing that concerned Lilac most was why he had that mask on...
