Sup guys, Lighting Wolf here, back with another story, this one about Sonic. Enjoy the 1100-word chapter. I down own Sonic, Sega and a few others do.
(Green Hill Zone, 6 months later, Resistance HQ.)
"This is the new recruit? He doesn't look like much."
Charmy said as Zero entered, he bit back the urge to make a retort as Knuckles spoke up, he recognized him as the commander of the resistance.
"Neither do you, Charmy! But I still find a use for your pointy butt!"
Knuckles said as he turned to Zero before speaking.
"Zero, I know this is a lot to ask of you right now… But I want you to lead a squad of our soldiers back to Riverside village, we need to find out anything about that guy who defeated Sonic… Amy will tell you any new news we get in the meantime."
Knuckles said as Zero nodded, he mentally sighed, knowing that anything that could defeat Sonic could tear through him in a heartbeat. He still nodded as he turned and left to carry out his mission.
'Confront Infinite? Sure, why don't I just throw myself off the cliff while I'm at it? I know Infinite is more skilled and with that new power he has, we won't stand a chance.'
Zero thought as he met up with the squad of Resistance soldiers on the edge of the city, he looked at the burning remains of the city, Egg Pawns, massive robots and Eggman's battleships were the only thing left in the city.
"You must be Zero, we are ready to travel into the city, sir."
One of the soldiers said as they turned to rush into the city before a blast cut one soldier down.
Zero looked up to see Infinite float down as the other 6 soldiers ran for cover.
Zero summoned a wave of ice to shield them which was blasted apart as Infinite finished off the squad easily.
'Blast it, why now of all times did he have to show up? And their all dead….'
Zero thought, looking at the rest of the unmoving Resistance soldiers as Infinite fired a blast at him from above, the Jackal shook as he countered it with a wall of ice.
"Zero… Cowardly worm, I should have known you would side with the rest of the filth."
Infinite hissed as he fired a ball of energy which Zero slashed in half with his saber, he lunged at the other Jackal but was knocked aside.
'Blast it…. Why do I have to be so afraid of facing him?'
Zero thought as he faced the powerful Jackal.
"Just because you defeated Sonic, doesn't make us weak!"
Zero shouted, firing 3 ice shards at Infinite which he laughed and knocked aside the attack with his hand as he drew his former battle sword that he used during the time he spent as Jackal Captain.
"Do you know the rest of our squad is dead? That Shadow murdered them without mercy?"
Infinite asked as he lunged at Zero, he turned and parried the hit while kicking Infinite a few feet back, shooting an ice shard at him which he dodged.
"Your lying, we didn't want to serve in Eggman's army… We were fine before we met him and we're be fine now."
Zero said as Infinite knocked him back with an energy blast, he felt ready to pass out from the sheer power of the hits as Infinite spoke up once again as the two Jackals locked blades.
"It is true, they were too weak to defend themselves, they wondered where their lieutenant was after all this time… And now I see he sided with the faction who worships a slain hero."
Infinite said as he punched Zero in the face, headbutted him then blasted him backwards into a wall with an energy blast.
"I can taste your terror, you are as worthless as your name implies…. All your anxiety and doubt… Its delicious… Flee screaming… And I'll let you live."
Infinite hissed as Zero rolled and fired a blast from an energy blaster before turning and fleeing as Infinite laughed, savoring the defeat of his former lieutenant as he turned to look at the Death Egg Sentries and other forces as he flew off.
"Zero, we've got some good news about Sonic… What's your status?"
Zero heard Amy ask over his earpiece as he slid to a stop before speaking, angry and scared of what to say.
"Amy, their…"
Zero said as Amy sighed, knowing what the Jackal wanted to say, she spoke with power and determination.
"It isn't your fault, if Sonic couldn't stop him, I don't expect you to either…. I wanted to say we have good news: SONIC IS ALIVE!"
Amy screamed which made Zero's eyes widen in surprise before he spoke up.
"Where is he, Amy?"
Zero asked as he heard Amy type away at a computer before speaking once more.
"He's on the Death Egg, Eggman has been torturing him, letting him heal just enough so they could do it again…. Knuckles is sending over half the Resistance to the Space Port in the Chemical plant to get a shuttle… If you want to make sure your squad's efforts weren't in vain, I'd suggest you'd join them… We're get Sonic back… You can count on it."
Amy said as Zero's eyes narrowed, Amy was right, the only way he was going to redeem his failure was to make sure his soldiers didn't die for nothing.
"Roger, Amy, I'm on my way…. Try and find out a way onto the Death Egg… I'll make sure Sonic rejoins this fight if it kills me."
Zero said as he ran off before firing his grappling hook and vanishing into the remains of the city as he made his way out of the city and turned his earpiece to speak to Knuckles.
"Knuckles, I'm on my way to the Chemical plant… Let's get Sonic back now."
