'Infinite' is now his name to claim.
It is an impeccable calling. It embodies who he became, and the undying influence of the Phantom Ruby fused with him. It has already been several days since it assimilated itself with his mind and body from prolonged bonding, fueling him with incomprehensible clout, like a nonexistent core kept underneath tiers of wild crimson that only one with a broken soul like his could control. Just thinking about this makes his body engulfed in crimson endlessly undulating all over him.
His empowering aura causes the obese Egg Pawns to scatter away from him as he lazily floats in the air like a limp doll, his bundle of dreadlocks swaying almost soundlessly, clinging onto the masked head.
He wants to train himself further, aiming to reach heights of power he never thought possible.
Suddenly, the corridor is awashed in a tone of discrete red. Infinite could never get enough of that color.
"Alert! Alert! Intruder detected on sector Mid-25-A. Repeat: Intruder detected on sector Mid-25-A" Orbot announces through the speakers.
"You heard the drill, Pawns! Foster your comrades down there and terminate the enemy accordingly!" Eggman redundantly commands afterward.
The Egg Pawns did not heed his command however, only creeping away from the masked figure as he glows persistently, playing with a ball of energy in the clutches of his sharpened claws, letting it dilate and abbreviate with every movement of his flowing fingers, with him aptly wondering how many ways he will take down this pest.
Would it be The Shadow? Infinite's claws start to tear into the power as he thought about it. It's still out there, and he knows it. He knows enough to know that the omen would be mischievous enough to tear down what his Savior built. The jackal could not help but lust for its return, to wrought despair upon it once again, and this time much worse than it had done on him.
Or could it simply be the Sapphire Wind that the Eggman is so fond of hating that even the canine himself shares to a smaller degree? He would not mind defeating him, either. It would simply make the air a lot less irksome, definitely. The only issue was that it wouldn't be the same as defeating the dark omen that constantly plagued his dreams and made him miserable.
He almost decided to explode the whole hallway with heated power, with the resentment urging him. But the bright fire in his hand tells him to keep calm, never to worry. It's finally with him—inside him. The masked being feels the warmth massaging every vessel in his body, also soothing his mind. It tells him a message that there is nothing to keel him, that it will help him live this new life prosperously.
You are the strongest, it says.
He nods. Infinite can never deny that in present time, he will never be weak ever again. Only fathom it.
If you made it this far, I feel proud that this story was worthwhile for u.
Technically my first ever villain story. I'm keeping the og version up for history. I won't be that guy and delete it...
Thank Sega for this existing. I wouldn't have done this if Inf's story wasn't handled like that in Forces.
A Sonic Forces adaption is in the works, but it's gonna be a somewhat-loose adaptation. Dunno when it'll be out, tho (might post it up chapter-by-chapter)...
And the moral of the story is: Don't build a Boeing in 2 months...otherwise u get One Homonym.
Keep your reviews 100! Don't be fake. Tell me what u like & don't like. There ain't gonna be new versions of this story, but I can use ur criticisms to better myself in the future.
