(Infinite's View)
(One Hour Later)
(Eggman's Ship; Computer Room)
"Is killing Sonic the best idea, Doctor?" Luna asks, crossing her arms as Dr. Eggman finishes explaining his plan. Dr. Eggman frowns. "Are you saying that I shouldn't eliminate my greatest threat, Luna?" He scowls, walking to her. Luna nods. "Yes. Actually I am." She replies. Dr. Eggman clenches his jaw. "You're kidding. Luna, I swore you'd love this opportunity! Especially after they took your boyfriend hostage!" He snaps back. Luna shows an angered frown. "Maybe I would back then, Doctor, but after all the pain I went through and knowing that I can deal that same type of unbearable pain to others...I don't know if I really desire that anymore." She replies, soon taking my hand. Dr. Eggman's eyes snap open, seeming to be lit ablaze from Luna's comments. Dr. Eggman, with his energy blast glove on, aims it at Luna, but I step in front of Luna.
"Infinite, I don't want to hurt you."
"You'd hurt me if you hurt Luna, Doctor. Vice versa is also true."
"Then why protect Luna if that would hurt her?" Eggman sneers. I crack a smile. "Because I know she can handle pain. I've seen it before. Now, Doctor, let me and Luna discuss our opinion with your plan in private. We'll get back to you soon. Is that fair?" I ask him. Eggman exhales a quick, annoyed breath out of his nose. "Fine. But don't take too long." He scowls, turning his back to us, typing away on his battle monitor. I pull Luna outside the computer room, beginning to walk with her towards our rooms. Luna bites her lip.
"Infinite...I know you hate Sonic with a passion. I mean, he sent you into a freakin' generator! But...I don't know if he deserves to die..." She murmurs. I nod. "Cause he never did anything to you, so I presume that's why." I reply. She nods a couple times. "Yes...Precisely, Infinite. I mean, he did save Mobius from your wrath, which you don't have much of a will to unleash that anymore...and maybe we could redeem ourselves. But…"
"But what?"
"I don't know if we should even try to join Sonic. He would never trust us, especially you. And if Dr. Eggman realizes our potential plan to betray him, he'll be after us until he KILLS us!" She shouts a bit too loudly. She slaps her hand over her mouth. I unsheathe my sword, preparing for any of his robots to attack us, but none come. With a sigh, I sheathe my sword, yet still having my hand on the hilt of it, ready for any surprise attacks. She looks into my eyes. "What do you think, Infinite?"
"I...I'm not sure, to be completely honest." I reply softly, clutching my chest fur, the fur that replaced the location of the Phantom Ruby. I bite my lip, remembering the feeling of the ruby, the power that resided in it. However, that brings my mind to the fright I witnessed, and previously liked, in the war. A single tear sheds. With a large sigh and a shake of my head, I take Luna's hand, staring my shaky eyes into hers. "You know what I want to do now, but I don't know if we should. You know, with Sonic." I whisper. She giggles lightly and brings her lips to my ear and whispers. "Yes. I do. Now let's help out that blue sewer rat, shall we?" She whispers. I nod and gently push her away. Running my hand through my white dreads, I bite my lip. "But how are we going to make sure he knows we want to join him?" I ask. Luna grins and opens her mouth to tell me her idea, but Dr. Eggman roars out. Both Luna and I unsheathe our swords, waiting for Eggman to come out. However, only cussing words comes out. We both sheathe our swords and walk into his computer room to find him typing vigorously on his keyboard.
"Umm…? Dr. Eggman?" Luna asks, looking at the undecipherable coding on the monitor. "Did you get a virus?"
"WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?! THAT STUPID, MUTATED FOX DID ALL THIS!" Eggman roars, grabbing his tumbler cup and chucking it against the wall. Luna winces at the crash. She then cracks a small, toothy grin and winks at me. "Let me take care of this, love." She whispers before coughing to catch Eggman's attention. Eggman narrows his eyes at her. "What now. Don't you see that I'm-?!"
"Pissed off? Yep. But, I thought Infinite and I can help you out, Doctor." She hums. Eggman raises a brow. "And how so?"
"We can infiltrate the Blue Typhoon and destroy the main computer. That should take away whatever's corrupting your computer, right Doctor?" She asks in an evil hum. Eggman raises his other brow, and then grins. "Yes…Very well. You guys can go. Do you want any robots to come along?" He asks. Luna shakes her head. "Not this time, Doctor. I want to settle the score with Infinite and only Infinite." She hums, taking my hand. "Now, we'll be on our way."
With that said, we walk out of the computer room. As we reach our starfighters in the dock of the ship, I look at Luna with shocked eyes. "How did you fake that so well?! You weren't nervous at all!" I ask loudly. She giggles. "Maybe because I had to do it when I was younger, you know, to survive in the streets and all?" She sighs, her eyes sulking slightly with sorrow. I place my hand on her shoulder. "You'll be fine, besides…You have me."
"S-Shut up!" She laughs nervously, her cheeks blushing bright red. I chuckle, take her chin and turn her head to me. "And you'll have this in the back of your mind throughout our mission too." I hum, placing my hand on her cheek before leaning in quickly for a kiss. Luna's eyes snap open, but soon close as we kiss for a couple, long, satisfying seconds, until Eggman's voice comes from the intercom, yelling for us to move. Luna and I look to the camera. I raise my hand up, but Luna takes my hand. "No flippin' him off. You don't know how mad he is right now."
"Hmph. Fine. I just don't like him interrupting us."
"Neither do I, but he won't ever do it again after this. Now, like he said, let's move."
