Meanwhile, Classic Sonic was in the middle section of Central City, appeared to have found some kind of strange metal building. He was unaware he found where Eggman was hiding while his army took the world over. Sonic and DonutSteel reached him as fast as they could, stopping behind him as he tried to open the metal vault door that was blocking the rest of the mobians to Eggman. The mute Sonic looked behind him to notice the two hedgehogs helping. Sonic walked forward while DonutSteel contacted Sally through earpiece.
"DonutSteel here, I think we found Eggman's base!".
"Excellent!". Sally responded. "There's just a few metres between us and that doctor now! Open the vault together and reveal him!".
"Gotcha!". The cyan hedgehog walked forward and helped the two Sonics open the door. However, what they overlooked was that of a dark figure standing on a roof watching them from a safe distance. Eggman was contacting him to destroy the heroes.
"Can you read me, Infinite?!". The doctor spoke.
"You want me to eliminate Sonic and his Devianart friend?".
"That's exactly what I was going to say!".
"Don't worry, doc. I am in safe distance away from them. They are trying to open the metal vault door to the army's base".
"You power the army through the energy in you. That is why I put you at the tip of the army. See if you can destroy those pesky hedgehogs once and for all".
"Afirmative!". The black being nodded.
Infinte got his fists ready, streching his fingers. He jumped down behind the hedgehogs, seemingly docile as of current. Sonic, Classic Sonic and DonutSteel noticed something was behind them and looked, the lethal figure in their way between them and saving the world.
"Sally...". Sonic contacted through the earpiece, aware of Infinite and what he can do.
"What is it, Sonic?".
"We got another one...".
"Another what- oh!".
"You can't let us lose!". DonutSteel got his fists ready.
Infinite folded his arms and maniacully chuckled.
"Fools...".
"Ifninite - the last boss before Eggman's own demise of the empire he once stood. He possess powers even greater than Metal Sonic and Zavok. The only reason Eggman put him at the top of his trustworthy alliance, was to outmatch even you. Your combat skills won't damage him so. It will take all of you to fully kick him out of your way".
"He possess levitation that gives Silver a run for his rings!". Sticks added.
"Yep! Thanks for that small information, Sticks!". The blue blur acknowledged.
"Who are you?!". DonutSteel wanted to know.
"I am the tallest of mountains. I am the roughest of waves. I am the toughest of terros. I am the darkest of days".
"Get to the point, mofo".
"Basically you did all that's could, heroes. It's time to tuck you to sleep!".
"Not without a chance!". Sonic answered.
Infinite further chuckled some more.
"I am the last one that's standing. Don't try to stand in my way, cuase I've been up against better. Just take a look at my face".
"Sally!". DonutSteel contacted. "Is there ay more infomation on this guy?!".
"That's all I could find, DonutSteel!". The princess searched. "There was only a limited amount!".
"Right...thanks Sally!".
"Do you really think your princess can save you now?!". Infinite chuckled. "My...all this time you've been crawling to her for the help to take down my army. I'm impressed at your progress. You made it this far".
"We're not going to quit this deep into the mission!". The blue hedgehog led.
"Oh...so you're not not...".
Infinite clicked his fingers. Surrounding him were red cubes that possess energy. He grew stronger from this method.
"One touch from these red cubes, and you're powers are weaker than your own".
DonutSteel equipped his grappling hook, Sticks wondering what the heck he was talking about.
"What the heck is he talking about?!". The badger spoke to the cyan hedgehog.
"The red cubes surrounding him give him more energy to battle!".
"Foolish animals...".
"Take him out!". Sticks grew impatient.
"Wait!". Sally interuppted. "Give him time, guys! Infinite is only going to get stronger if you rush".
"What do we do?". Amy asked.
"Eggman is the only reason he became so strong in the first place". Tails added.
"Give me a strategy!". DonutSteel demanded.
Let me come up with something...".
"Sally!". Sonic spoke to her. "All three of us could surround him on all sides!".
"What difference would that make?! He could run away at tremendous speed even you couldn't catch him!".
"I have a plan!". Sonic ran to the right. Classic Sonic ran to the left. All three hedgehogs surrounding the stood Infinite that was still docile. Red energy cubes surrounding the radius between him and the heroes.
"I pity your efforts, blue hedgehog!". He spoke. "I have enough energy to outsmart you!".
"You and what edgy nature?!". Sonic bounced back.
Infnite clicked his fingers. The red cubes dissapated. The lethal being absorbed energy through the inside of his hands.
"You seem like the quitessential hero type. Therefore, I'm going to lay waste all over your Devianrt friend to weaken you".
"Huh...". DonutSteel overheard him.
Infinite opened the palm of his hands. A powerful energy source rushed toward the cyan hedgehog, knocking him a few yards. He felt the pain inside him as he began to stand up.
"DonutSteel!". Sally yelled.
"What happened?!". Amy frantically asked.
"His palms are sweaty, knees weak, arms are heavy. There's vomit on his sweater already...". Sticks churned out.
"Mom's spaghetti...". DonutSteel said while kneeled with one leg.
"You're nervous, but on the surface you look calm and ready".
"To drop bombs...!". DonutSteel took a quick stern look toward Infinite.
"Take him out, pal!". Sticks orded.
DonutSteel charged towoard Infinite, shooting the grapple hook at a nearby building and taking him with it. He landed on the rooftop and called for Infinite.
"Now's the chance!".
Both Sonics nodded, running in circles around the black figure. DonutSteel shot a grapple hook onto Infinite, the suspence of feeling the hook was predicted by him. Infinite rose into the air, dodging the hook. DonutSteel looked up and tried again. The grapple hook missed again. Infinite looked at DonutSteel and shot the cubes at him. Three or four went into the cyan hedgehog, decreasing his strength little by little. He then shot an energy blast at the cyan hedgehog, sending him to the ground. He rose to the rooftop level and began to fight with his fists. Sonic climbed up the building and onto the roof. He snook up behind the black being and threw a punch at him, the metal on his head doing nothing to affect him. He turned around and sweeped Sonic to the concrete below him. By then DonutSteel was able to recover from the blast and run up to him. He kick sweeped Infinite, sending him to the ground. Classic Sonic ran up the building and joined the two hedgehogs. Infinite quicky got up and shot into the air, the three hedgehogs staring at him. He flew around them at supersonic speed and created a tornado. It began to touch down on the heroes. Luckily, they jumped of the building, the structure getting sucked up by the whirlwind. Sonic saw this as a perfect opportunity to knock the building into Infinite using his homig attack. It worked, Infinite being sent hurdling in the air. He stopped and flew back down. The black being generated the red cubes by clicking his finger. He was gaining more energy for his next wave of attacks. DonutSteel used his grapple hook to latch onto Infinite while he was in this phase. The hook sent the cyan hedgehog flying to him and kicking him from the end of the hook's journey onto the black being. Ifninite was knocked back, the red cubes dissapearing in front of him. He clicked his fingers again, they appeared again, but was homing attacked by Classic Sonic. He found a way to Infinite, severley damaging his powers. Infinite was knocked back further, his attempts at clicking his fingers to make the cubes appear didn't work on his favour. Sonic performed a spin dash and shot up in the air, acting as the third wave of attcks by the heroes. He knocked Infinite the furthest, sending him to the ground, creating a crater nearby the base. Ifinite got up and clicked his fingers again, this time the cubes not appearing at all. He lifted his head back onto the concrete ground and sighed.
"Why do you always make this difficult for Eggman?". Ifinite spoke, the three hedgehogs crowding around him.
"Because...we're Sonic heroes!". The blue blur waggled his finger.
"You imcompetent fools...". The black being barely lifted his head due to the force of the blast. "Here's the keys...Eggman's base should be unlocked".
That was the last they ever heard of him. He handed the keys to the hedgehogs, then lost all of his energy. He slowly disolved, the sky looming over Cnetral City dispersed. Te sunlight started to creep in on the city. By then Sonoic knew he was the power core of this whole Eggman's empire thing that has been present over the course of the past few days. Empire City, located across the country was free from the grasp, so was large parts of Efrika, Downunda, Yurashia, Holoska, Somerca and the Southern Tundra. Eggman's army was no more than just a joke played upon Sonic, DonutSteel and Classic Sonic. Sally, Tails, Amy and Sticks cheered to see everything reclaimed by just defeating Infinite. Every mobian living on every continent cheered as the blue hedgehog did it again with the help of the resistance. The three hedgehogs walked to h base and pushed the vault door together, revealing another door whci htehy unlocked with the keys Infinite gave them. There, Eggman was inside, the hedgehogs folded their arms. Eggman noticed the envrionment behind them.
"What's going on? Why is the outside of the base so colorful?!". The doctor snapped.
"We though this base would have been the power core of your whole domination scheme. Turned out it wasn't and it was just Infinite powering up all along while you sat and did nothing". Sonic explained.
"Curses! I thought I had all of the land of this planet!".
"There's one big mistake you could've avoided, Eggface! Remember that you didn't take over Knothole while you had the chance?".
"Knothole?".
"Sally was a big influence of us to save Mobius!". DonutSteel added. "Well, she and Tails and Amy and certain badger you hate".
"I demand innocence!". Eggman cowered, putting his hands in front of him in fear. "Please don't hurt me! I only want to make a new start on world peace!".
"You never wanted to make world peace. You made the peace worse by defeating it". DonutSteel responded.
"Tell you what, EggStain! We're going to let you go to create future games of our franchise. We need to get back to Knothole and confirm our mission a success".
The three hedgehogs turned around and headed for the plane. Sonic contacted Sally using the earpiece.
"We're coming home, Sally! Make sure to grant a hero party in our favour!".
"We finished making the house for DonutSteel!". The princess answered. "Don't worry, we've got the party covered!".
"Good!". The blue blur noticed his classic counterpart rushing to get on the plane first. He looked at DonutSteel ad nodded, the cyan hedgehog doing the same. They both rushed toward the plane together.
"All alone, we will never be". DonutSteel started.
"The two of us are holding the key". Sonic added.
"We see today, a world we couldn't see".
"Before I say goodbye to you, one more last fist bump".
Both hedgehogs were fist-bumping for the last time before they would get to on the plane.
This took alot of determination to write, as I origianlly had another sonic fanfic ready for this month. I decided to base a new fanfic around the upcoming game Sonic Forces, seeing that new footage and music have appeared online and I wanted to capitalize on what I had to do as a fanfic writer. I searched the profiles of those who fought Sonic and the resistance and feared incacuracy. I hope you all enjoyed what upcoming events may be appearing in Sonic Forces, and may all of the fans including me buy the game and Sonic Mania, depening if you enjoy ripping your teeth out over the inconsistency of some Sonic games. Have a good day and take care of yourselves.
PLEASE REVIEW :)
