Fourth chapter up! Infinite the jackal will be visiting three new universes, and of course, to them it will be a shocking surprise to see this new being arrive, will they have the same luck that the previous two?

…

After Infinite the Jackal, stole the gray chaos emerald from the Albatross in Windmill Isle from the Blue Rouges, he created a genesis portal to another location, where he appeared in a great field with mountains on the surroundings and in the middle of it, a really big tower, also called The Great Plateau Tower

The reason why Infinite was able to teleport and open genesis portals in the exact places where there was a chaos emerald, was due to the fact that the Power Cloud, that the heroes fought two months ago, gave him the ability to travel through dimensions, this plus the already known Genesis Portals by Infinite and the Omnipresence by the Power Cloud, made Infinite know the location of all the chaos emeralds

He knew that the fifth chaos emerald was somewhere around the area, and quickly found it when he single-handed and lifted a huge and heavy rock and there it was, the red and fifth chaos emerald. Infinite placed the stone in his chest and was ready to leave, but a surprise explosion told him the opposite

He quickly gets up and turned around to see who exactly did this. He was the hero of time in his blue dress, ready to fight. Link

"No one just appears out of the sky and grabs a rupee. Who are you?" said Link with his shield ready

"Being attacked from one world to another is exhausting, but fun" said Infinite

"Who are you? And why are you here?" said Link demanding it pulling out his sword

"So you want a sword fight? Good for me" said Infinite as he pulled his sword, now not only one, but two swords at the same time

While Link stood there shocked at what he just saw, Infinite began to run towards him at an incredible speed that the warrior had almost any time to react, but he quickly step out of the way before Infinite first sword slash, however, Link did not hesitate as he also ran toward the jackal trying to hit him with the sword but Infinite dodged every move of his.

The Hyrule warrior was also blocking all Infinite sword attacks with his shield but unlike the jackal, Link was really struggling to defend himself from Infinite

Infinite used this over-use of Link's shield to aim for the legs throwing one sword to his leg, Link, with good reflexes, tried to dodge this and almost made it but the sword caused him a small but painful wound in the left leg making the battle harder for Link. He stepped back panting trying to get distance from Infinite, the jackal also stopped for a while before sprinting again, jumping and giving a powerful kick into Link's head sending him really far

The warrior tried to quickly get up but it wasn't that easy with his injured leg and all that beat up, when he looked up and saw that Infinite was ready to hit him from above, he quickly protected him again with the shield but the jackal hit it with enough force to not only launch the shield away from his owner but also make a really painful injury on his left arm, the one he was using to block

Infinite backed down breathing slowly; he knew he had won this fight that was obvious

"I can't do all the work by myself" said Infinite "Hopefully this will" he then proceeded to shot at a main support of the Great Plateau Tower and with lot of rumble it began to fall

"I don't have all the time" said the jackal and after this he disappeared through a portal the same way he entered

When Link saw that the tower was going to fall into him, he hurried crawling due to the pain, grabbed his shield and tried to protect from the imminent –and maybe horrifying- impact

…

Blaze the Cat, one of many Sonic the Hedgehog friends and guardian of the Sol Emeralds, Blaze's dimension counterparts of the Chaos Emeralds, while similar, Infinite is mainly here for another Chaos Emerald. Unlike the previous worlds that didn't have any clue of what was going on or what a Chaos Emerald even was, Blaze did know about it and what they could do

She decided to keep the green emerald (which it was the one that was in her dimension) in Southern Island due to the fact of being a calm island and village, no one would suspect that a Chaos Emerald was hidden somewhere there… She was going to be so wrong, and would deeply regret it

Blaze went to Marine the Raccoon's house, which was where it was hidden the Emerald to keep an eye on it, however she hadn't shared this info with Marine afraid of what she could do with it, you never know

"Blaze, you've arrived my house many times during this week, did you lose something or you want to say me anything?" said Marine kinda excited

"It's none of the two" replied Blaze with a serious tone, looking for the emerald spot without making it look obvious

"Then why are you here all the time?"

"I can't… tell you right now it's a secret"

"Aww, c'mon! I won't tell anyone about it"

"It's not about that, I'm just… never mind"

"Blaze! Please! I need to know this stuff, what exactly you are hiding?! I thought that you learned about trusting your friends" said Marine trying to get into her head

"Geez Marine!" said Blaze really irritated "I can't tell you right now, it's too risky if I tell you"

"Are you afraid that I'll get my hands on it, do ya?"

Before Blaze could add more to the annoying conversation, both heard an amusing sound and got out the house looking up and saw Infinite coming out of the purple portal

"Stay here" Blaze demanded walking forward while still looking to the sky

The jackal saw her and landed in front of Blaze and after an awkward silence she finally said

"You come from Sonic's dimension right? And I think that was a Genesis Portal… I can see that you're not a joke" she said while slightly starting a flame in her hand, however Infinite noticed this

"I don't think that's necessary" he said looking at her fist "Just hand me the emerald"

Blazed made a small gasp and said to Marine who was behind her

"Marine, I would suggest you, return to the house"

"Are you sure?" asked Marine

Blaze looked at her kinda annoyed by the question

"Alright, if you say so…" said the raccoon while walking backwards focusing on Infinite ahead

"I know you have one, just give it me" repeated the jackal

Blaze did not respond, this time she just threw a big ball of fire to Infinite, sending a few meters away, now Blaze was in a fighting position ready to do battle

Infinite quickly stand up with no signs of getting hurt

"Dumb kitty, do you know with who you're playing with?"

"A masked-dimension-traveler who wants to gain power with the chaos emeralds? I can handle that"

Infinite didn't said anything, he just stared at her and out of the sudden he launched himself towards Blaze and gave a really hard punch, even though she tried to block the hit but it was worthless as the jackal had already launched her back into the house where Marine was

"Are you okay?" asked the raccoon surprisingly calmly

"Marine, get…" she was going to say '…get out of here' but she thought about it for a second "…get the emerald and run away" was what she ended up saying

"The what?"

"Just look for a shiny green emerald, ok?" said Blaze and returned quickly to the battle

"Wait, I don't… know where it is" said Marine, when Blaze had already left "Just find a green emerald… should be easy"

Back in the fight, Blaze returned back to Infinite with a series of punches and kicks between the two animals that both of them could block but that the jackal, due to his greater speed and strength, ended up winning kicking Blaze to, not a far distance, but to a decent one, one that could give him a small time to catch breath

Blaze didn't wait any time, she quickly get up once she was beaten but same as the jackal she stopped for a second to catch breath. The two of them exchanged stares and were giving an intimidating and also challenging look to the other but surprisingly it was Blaze who reacted quicker

She began to run towards Infinite while he just stood there like waiting for something to happen, Blaze jumped a great distance and with a powerful fiery fist punched the ground causing a gigantic fire wave that sent Infinite far away. He got up slowly but with no signs of being hurt and stared at Blaze until…

"Blaze! I think I found it! Is it this one?" Marine called from the distance once she indeed founded the emerald

Both, Blaze and Infinite, looked at the house but with a different feeling and out of nowhere they both started to fly and a race for the emerald began with the jackal being in the lead but Blaze with a fireball managed to slow him a bit thus giving her the right amount of time she needed to catch the emerald from Marine's hand and fly away

Because the fact that Infinite never closed the genesis portal Blaze decided to go along with the emerald into the portal but Infinite closed it at the last second and opened like four more to confuse her. However Infinite also created one more at the distance –this one was the right one that he was going to escape to-

Blaze noticed this and blasted to said portal and before Infinite could even react she had already disappeared and so did the portal and all of them

Infinite stood there floating for a while knowing that he easily could create another portal to the same location but at that moment he thought of something else

"Is it true that you can travel to the past with two chaos emeralds? I guess I'll have to find out… since they are getting ready, I also need some backup"

…

Blaze appeared out of the portal in what it seemed to be a futuristic city and she looked around to analyze the surroundings, as she fly by she knew that the place was harmless and decided to land there

"Excuse me, what is this place called exactly" she asked to a male citizen

"Your look is very curious; how don't you know? This is Abel City" answered the guy

"Oh… alright um, thanks!" said Blaze and continued walking for a few minutes and she saw people that looked really different from the others

There were three of them and seemed to be wearing armors and talking between them, well that until one of them looked at Blaze and seemed surprised about her so one that had blue armor approached to the cat but it was Blaze who spoke first

"Before anything, who exactly are you?" she asked

"You're curious. My name is X, here are my partners Zero and Axl and we're the Maverick Hunters and… you're not from around here are you?"

Despite Blaze's lack of trust, with this specific answer she knew that they were good guys

"I'm… Blaze the Cat and I'm from another dimension"

The looks on their faces were really surprised by the new but not if it was a completely new one

"And what's what you have in your hand?" asked Zero looking at the emerald

However Blaze was not the kind who would say a complete exposition about something

"Yeah about this… I'll just go from where I came and try to go a another particular dimensions, see you" she said while starting to levitate and turn around

"Wait a sec!" shouted Axl "We have also one stone that looks really like yours"

Blaze stopped and returned to the ground

"Where?" she asked surprised

"I think it's better for you to follow us" said X

"Don't worry we don't bite, you can trust us" said Axl smiling
