(Infinite's View)

(In Space Away from Any Planet)

(Back on Eggman's Ship; Two Weeks Later)

"You're WHAT?!" Dr. Eggman shouts in surprise. I grin as I have my arm around Luna. I nod, turning my head to Luna, who's blushing at the thought of our decision. "That's right, Doctor. Luna and I are officially dating." I hum. Dr. Eggman pauses, places his hand on his forehead and grunts. "This shouldn't be happening, you two. Not after all the shit that you went through down there." He grumbles. I nod. "Yes, doctor, but it's the least I could do after what I did to her." I reply, looking at Luna to make sure my mentioning of the whole "murder incident" isn't affecting her. Luna gives me a sincere smile. "Don't worry, Infinite. I'm fine."

"How did you-?"

"Your eyes. They're nervous." She hums. My eyes sink in affection. Dr. Eggman coughs to grab our attention. We turn to him, finding him with his arms crossed. "I don't like this. You guys now have a softer heart." He snarls. "That better not get in the way of our conquest of the galaxy." He scowls. I bite my lip. "Yeah...about that…" I murmur under my breath. This catches Luna's and especially Dr. Eggman's attention. Narrowing his brows, he towers over me and Luna. Luna narrows her own eyes. "

What do you mean by "Yeah...about that"! Are you saying that you're NOT conquering the galaxy with me!?" He roars. I hesitate, but nod "Yes. That's what I mean." I sigh. Dr. Eggman pauses, but then answers my statement with a slug to the nose. I howl out in surprise and stumble back. Eggman quickly equips a glove onto his hand, which begins to steam out a green mist, aiming the circular, glowing, mechanical center towards my chest.

"What-happened to you." He scowls, walking towards me. Luna stands in front of me, arms extended. "Eggman! I am stunned too, but let the jackal speak!" She roars. I place my hand on Luna's shoulder. "Luna. Please. Let me handle this." I whisper, pushing her aside. "Eggman. I killed Luna's mother. I saw the pain she went through. I am NOT letting her feel that pain again!" I scowl. Dr. Eggman doesn't reply, but instead blasts a green energy bolt at us. Luna and I dive in opposite directions. I unsheathe my sword, but Luna doesn't stand up. She's frozen in a sitting position, a bit dumbfounded at my commitment towards her. Eggman continues firing at me, but I block the energy bolts with my sword. Eggman soon leaves an opening, letting me kick him in the chest. He falls onto the ground. Standing over him, I point my sword to his throat.

"Dr. Eggman. All I want now is to live a peaceful life. I don't care if you conquer others. I don't care if you create many Eggman Empires. I want to live in peace. It's something I never had, and now that I feel at peace, and I want to keep it that way." I state firmly. Eggman glares at me, and then Luna, and with a sigh, sits up. "I'll make you a deal, Infinite. After you help me destroy the Blue Typhoon AND give the forest planet to take over, I'll leave you on Akar to live happily ever after." He says. I ponder over this for a bit, that is until Luna places her hand on my shoulder. "I think it's a good plan, but what IF, and I said IF, we break up or somethin' Infinite. We'll be stuck on Akar forever!" She stutters. I lower my head a bit, nod a couple times before looking at Eggman.

"It's a deal. When will we begin?" I ask, sheathing my sword. Eggman stands to his feet, brushing off some dust from his clothes. "As soon as we detect the Typhoon. Now, I believe I should create a plan of attack. Be prepared to fight." He says, turning his backs to us. Luna gapes slightly. "Excuse me?! You're not lettin' us!?" She shouts. "Your plans ALWAYS fail! You know that you need OUR help to have a chance to take down Sonic and the others!" She hollers. He turns his head to us. "I am the captain of this ship. I make the plans. End of conversation." He scowls before walking off. Luna clenches her jaw. "Okay. That's it."

"That's it's what?" I ask, turning to her. Luna, gathering her thoughts, sighs. "I don't know how much longer I can take Eggman's ignorance, Infinite. I don't know where to go if we leave the doctor. I mean, we could join Sonic, but Shadow's with them and I don't want to join them from the start." Luna grunts. I shake my head. "And they won't ever trust us either...Luna, let's just see what Eggman's plan is. We'll discuss things from there."
