As to the reviewer who asked about Forest, he may have a somewhat rocky childhood since I've established that half-breeds often face discrimination. But I haven't really planned on writing anything about Forest past his birth. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll write a one-shot of a teenaged Forest defending himself from a sort of Mobian equivalent of a Neo-Nazi gang or something like that.
CHAPTER 15
It didn't turn out to be too difficult to locate Infinite down in the sewers. When Sonic and his allies arrived, they met a bunch of terrified junkies who were upset about a "devil" that killed their acquaintances and took their skins. You didn't have to be a rocket scientist to figure out who this "devil" was. They pointed in the general direction of where they believed he lived.
Sonic had a plan to trap Infinite. He had told the rest of his allies to spread out around the sewers so they could trap Infinite if he tried to escape. They were all told to be prepared for anything due to Infinite being in possession of the Sol Emeralds. Sonic was left all alone to lure Infinite out. When he found him, he was in for quite a shock.
"AVERY!" Sonic yelled.
Blood. Everywhere. Infinite had been using blood to paint on the walls. And not just blood. One area looked like he'd used his own shit to paint. Sonic was also greeted by the sight of the skinned corpses of junkies that had their genitalia mutilated. Worst of all, was the sight of the nude form of Avery and Infinite on a semen-stained mattress. They had clearly just finished mating, but to say Avery looked uncomfortable was an understatement. She had clearly been crying and the tip of her right ear looked like it was chewed off. He raped her. I just saw the aftermath of Avery's rape...
"YOU!" Infinite snarled and stood up. Sonic was surprised. Infinite's appearance had changed again. The jackal was positively soaked in blood. Sonic had no idea who the blood belonged to and frankly, he was better off not knowing. Infinite had also carved strange symbols into his body. He clearly had some sort of mental illness and was obviously unfit to stand trial. After Infinite was questioned, he'd be going straight to the loony bin.
"Looks like someone can't keep their paws off my gorgeous mate..." Infinite snarled.
"Infinite...we don't have to fight...just surrender and this will all be over very-" Infinite interrupted Sonic with a loud howl of a laugh.
"You honestly think I'll SURRENDER!?" Infinite jeered. "That's not what will happen. What will happen is that I will kill you. Then I'll take your hide." Infinite began to grin broadly, revealing blood-stained fangs. "Then I'll eat you and feed the leftovers to my mate." Avery began to tremble and helplessly tug at the cuff on her leg. The thought of being forced to eat the hedgehog she loved disturbed her beyond belief.
"You are a poor, sad creature." Sonic replied angrily. "I would tell you again that you learned nothing after being defeated by me during the war...but I don't think you're capable of learning anything that doesn't involve inflicting pain."
"And YOU are incapable of learning that you are unfit for her." Infinite barked. "Such a greedy little hedgehog that only wants other people's mates."
"She is NOT your mate!" Sonic yelled. "I know you just raped her minutes ago! Some 'loving partner' you are!" That set the jackal off. He dashed over to the pile of skinned bodies and reached out for something that Avery never noticed before. A box. Infinite opened it.
"The Sol Emeralds!" Sonic shouted.
"That's what they're called? That cute purple cat had them." Infinite replied. "Such power they radiate." Avery gasped in awe when she saw the Sol Emeralds start to float up into a circular formation around Infinite. A harsh red light began to form around the jackal as the Sol Emeralds seemed to sink into him.
CRASH! Without warning, Sonic had spin dashed into the piping keeping Avery in place. The force of the impact shattered the handcuff on Avery's leg, freeing her. Sonic looked at Avery to make sure she was alright, slightly flustered by the fact that she was naked.
"Thanks. Now let's get out of-" Avery didn't have time to finish that sentence. The harsh red light had now faded to an eerie red glow that seemed to be emanating from the carved scars on Infinite's body. Infinite had a crazed grin on his face.
"Stand back, my mate. Let me kill this blue rat!" The jackal snarled and soon the glow was now brightening again, fiercely highlighting the scars. Infinite then raised his right hand, which also started to glow painfully bright. Sonic instinctively grabbed Avery and pulled her down to the ground with him.
What could only be described as a bloody fire shot out of Infinite's palm and narrowly missed Sonic and Avery. The scent of burning flesh lingered in the air after Infinite fired that substance. The jackal began to madly laugh.
"I know you bought your friends here with you! I know you wouldn't come down here alone! Maybe I should destroy them before I kill you." Infinite began to laugh even louder. "Maybe I should skin and eat them too! And of course, my mate needs to be fed to help our child grow..." Sonic stood up and walked toward Infinite upon hearing that. He would not let his friends meet the fate of all of those junkies.
"AAAHHHHHH!" Avery screamed as she felt something touch her. She turned around and was face-to-face with a horrific headless being with one giant orange eye covering it's crotch. It looked just like those paintings that Infinite made. She took a few steps back noticed that the other paintings of those creatures on the wall seemed to be coming to life and entering her world. It wasn't long before those things had her surrounded. Sonic watched in a mixture of confusion and horror.
"Go defeat Infinite! Don't worry about me!" Avery yelled. Sonic just stood there in shock. He briefly looked back at Infinite...he wasn't there. He had already fled into the sewers.
"The fate of the world matters more than me!" Avery replied. With that Sonic took off after Infinite. Avery looked over at the beings, wondering what they were going to do to her.
Amy was nervous. Were Sonic and Avery okay? She gripped her Piko Piko Hammer tighter. Infinite can't hurt both of them at once, right? He doesn't have the Phantom Ruby. But the Sol Emeralds. Does he know how to use those? Amy was standing in a corridor of the sewers that led to a dead end. She wanted to peek around the corridor to see if anything was there, but she didn't think she could do it. The tension was unbearable! Be brave, Amy. Be brave. You're not alone. You have your friends with you. Amy told herself. Shadow. He's not too far away from here. If you need help, just run to Shadow.
Amy began to tiptoe up towards the corner. She stopped, took a deep breath and continued on her way. She was only mere inches away from the corner. This is it. The moment of truth. Amy looked around the corner...nothing there! She looked the other way. Nothing there either! A wave of calmness swept over Amy. She walked back down the corridor. Just when she was almost back at her spot, she began to smell something strange. Something that smelled like burning flesh. Soon that odor was growing stronger. Amy turned around and screamed in horror.
At the end of the corridor stood Infinite, grinning that same wicked grin. He looked different. His body was covered in clearly self-inflicted scars that were glowing a dull red.
"I missed you." Infinite sneered. Those scars began glowing brightly and Infinite raised his right hand.
"EEK!" Amy yelled as a bolt of bloody fire shot at her, missing it's target by a mere couple inches. She dropped her Piko Piko Hammer in panic. Before she could retrieve it, it was hit by another bolt.
"Don't think you can hit me on the head with that again." Infinite taunted as he marched up towards Amy. The pink hedgehog began to hyperventilate. She was too scared to do anything. She could only open her mouth to weakly speak.
"W-What happened to you?" Amy asked.
Infinite chuckled. "That cat just should have known better than to leave her gems lying around." Amy could only shudder in response. What could she even do against Infinite?
"You know something?" Infinite jeered. "I was planning on killing you, but maybe I should keep you as a toy."
"A what?" Amy whimpered.
"That would be nice. I do love my mate, but I would like some variety. You'll be my toy." Infinite began to slightly chuckle. "But I shouldn't leave my toy alone. Maybe I'll make that bat slut my toy too so she can keep you company when I'm away!" Amy was terrified. More terrified than when Infinite first attacked her. She couldn't stand the idea of her and Rouge being kept as concubines in a harem.
"Don't worry. Now's not a good time for us to fuck. Just come with me." Infinite said in almost mocking reassurance. Amy began to get light-headed. She felt like she was about to faint in terror.
"Back away!" Someone yelled. Shadow the Hedgehog was standing at the end of the corridor. Infinite let out a snarl.
"If you're trying to intimidate me again, that's not going to work." Infinite barked. "I am far more powerful than you." That glow began to come back. Infinite raised his right hand to take out Shadow. The black hedgehog anticipated this and spin dashed out of the way of the bolt. Infinite turned around and grabbed Amy.
"Wha!? Help!" Amy cried.
"Let her go." Shadow stated.
"Maybe I will if you can handle my friends." Infinite replied.
"Fri-WHA!" Shadow felt something clamp down on his shoulders like a vice. He couldn't escape. He craned his neck over to look at the upper-body of a tall being with no head. Shadow also got a brief glimpse of a giant orange eye covering the creature's crotch. Shadow struggled in an attempt to escape the creature's grasp. Infinite used this opportunity to leave the corridor with Amy in tow.
"WHAT THE HELL ARE THESE THINGS!?" A voice yelled as Infinite dragged Amy along with him. Great. Infinite thought. More pests nearby. Infinite let go of Amy and shoved her to the ground. He stepped forward to confront the weaklings that he heard. Team Chaotix dashed around a corner. They skidded to a halt the minute they saw Infinite, shocked by his physical appearance. The former masked being was now a feral-looking jackal that appeared to be slightly emaciated. His body was covered in self-inflicted scars as well as blood. Team Chaotix were stunned by Infinite's rapid degeneration.
"Oh my God. What did you do to yourself?" Vector gasped.
"I became better than ever before. That's what I did." Infinite growled. He raised his hand and that same glow returned again. Espio's eyes went wide in shock.
"WATCH OUT!" The chameleon yelled. He and Vector dodged just in time. Charmy wasn't so lucky.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" A horrendous shriek escaped the young bee's lips as he felt his body being burned alive by this strange bloody fire. Charmy was in too much pain to move. He fell to the ground and flailed a bit before he stopped moving.
"CHARMY!" Vector yelled. The crocodile almost fell to the ground in despair before getting up and turning back to face Infinite. Espio continued to stare at Charmy's burning body. Yes, Espio was horrified by what Infinite did to his teammate, but he also noticed something else strange about the charred remains of Charmy. Something that he couldn't quite place...
"GOTCHA!" Infinite yelled. The jackal had his hands on Rouge the Bat.
"Don't think you can sneak up on me, you filthy skank." The jackal snarled and turned back towards Vector and Espio. "Make one move and your team hooker gets kill-GAH!" Infinite let go of Rouge and was doubled over in pain. Behind him stood Amy with a Piko Piko Hammer in hand.
"Just so you know, I always keep a spare!" Amy yelled. Infinite growled and stood back up, his glow returning.
"AMY! ROUGE! BACK AWAY FROM HIM!" Vector yelled, the crocodile began running up to attack Infinite, who suddenly turned around and fire a bolt right at him.
"NO!" Rouge yelled in horror as she watched Vector being burned. Vector let out a primal howl of pain and began to twitch and spasm. Soon he collapsed to the floor completely still. Espio watched in not only horror, but in confusion. Something wasn't quite right with Vector's body either. The fire didn't seem to be dying down or dissipating. But why? What is this?
Espio began to back away from Infinite slowly. The jackal grinned cruelly.
"I'm not going to be merciful." Infinite sneered and raised his right hand again at Espio. Rouge and Amy wanted to do something but couldn't. They were worried about Infinite suddenly turning around and aiming the bolt at them. What could they do?
Avery gazed up at the strange beings that had her surrounded. What are these things? Did Infinite create them or did they always exist? She didn't have time to think any further about this. The beings made a sudden lunge for her and grabbed her by the legs. Avery screamed in horror as she was dragged back towards the mattress and pinned down. The dog could only whimper in fear as the giant eyes of the being examined her. They seemed almost...curious about Avery. One being reached down and placed it's hand on her stomach. The dog gasped. That thing knows she's pregnant.
Avery yelped as she felt her legs being forcibly spread open by another being, exposing her vagina. The being with it's hand on her belly than slowly dragged it down to her opening. Avery's eyes went wide in horror. Are they gonna kill Forest? No. These things seem to be under Infinite's control. He doesn't want Forest dead...but they clearly want to do SOMETHING to my baby! What is it? What are they gonna do to Forest? Avery had no intention of finding out what that "something" was. The being with it's hand on her then let go and began to position it's eye close by Avery's pussy. She noticed something about the pupil in the eye. Something was emerging from the pupil.
It was a horrific slimy, semi-rigid needle-like organ. The thing was slowly rising out of the eye like an earthworm emerging from the soil. That organ was going to go inside Avery. She let out a loud scream as the appendage drew closer to her vagina. The dog began to thrash and flail while the beings tried to restrain her. Soon the same thing was happening to the other beings. More needle appendages were emerging from their pupils. Avery flinched as she felt a prick. She quickly glanced at her arm and saw that one of those appendages had stabbed her arm and drew some of her blood into the being's body. Avery flailed some more, while the being that wanted to do something to Forest was desperately trying to hold her still so it could penetrate her.
Sonic. Please help...
I wanted this all to be one final chapter, but since it's getting so big, I'm gonna have to split it into two separate chapters. Next part is where it all ends.
Also, one other thing. Infinite harem-fic. Yes or no?
