Amy sat by Sonic's bedside while Mighty stood on his other side. He nodded to Amy before leaving. He entered the meeting room where Shadow, Rouge and Sally were waiting "Knuckles gave him a sedative. He's gonna probably be out for the rest of the day". Sally crossed her arms "So, Infinite. Do we have any idea where he is?". Lien-Da entered "I might".


She spoke to them in the lounge area "Infinite spent a long time trying to perfect me. And when he worked, he talked about his great plan. Even disassembled, I wanted to please him. I'd ask where would we go once his plan was complete? And his answer was always the same. To the garden". Wave stepped forward and activated a hologram showing Mobius "When Infinite snapped his fingers Mobius became ground zero for a power surge of ridiculously cosmic proportions. No one's ever seen anything like it. Until two days ago". The hologram changed to a green planet "On this planet" "Infinite is there" Lien-Da said. Rouge stared intrigued at the hologram "He used the gems again". Knuckles still in his hyper form stepped forward "Hey, we'd be going in shorthanded". Mighty agreed "He still has the gems" "So let's get them and use them to bring everybody back" Sally said. Knuckles looked sceptical "Just like that" "Yeah. Just like that" Shadow said. Rouge nodded "Even if there's a small chance that we can undo this. I mean, we owe it to everyone who's not in this room to try" "But how do we know it's gonna end any differently than it did before" Knuckles asked. Sally glanced at him "Because before you didn't have me". Mighty glared at her "Yeah, I've been meaning to ask about that. When we've been getting our asses kicked where have you been?". Sally didn't seem angered by this "Out of range. The only reason I came back was because I tracked the energy surge to this galaxy. Then I finally got Tower's message". Razor got up from his chair and walked over to Sally who turned to face him. Razor stares at her before holding out his hand. Caliburn passes inches from her head, but she doesn't flinch. Razor catches the sword and the two hold a gaze "I like this one", Sally smirks. Shadow stares intently at the hologram of the planet "Let's go get this son of a bitch".


The group were now in the Griffith which Wave piloted out of the atmosphere "Okay. Who here hasn't been to space?". Rouge, Shadow and Mighty held up their hands making Sally laugh. Mighty looked confused "Why?" "You better not throw up on my ship" Wave replied before flying the ship into a jump point. Everyone tenses against the force of the jump until they are suddenly in another part of space in front of the green planet. Sally flew out of the airlock "I'll head down for recon" she headed down to the planet. The others wait patiently, Rouge then notices Shadow looking down at his old compass still holding a photo of Tikal inside. Rouge frowns "This is gonna work, Shadow" "I know it will". He closed his compass and looked over to her "Cause I don't know what I'm gonna do it if doesn't". Sally returned "No satellites. No ships. No armies. No ground defences of any kind. It's just him". Lien-Da's expression didn't change "That's enough".


On the planet near Infinite's hut his mask covered the face of a scarecrow. In a beautiful sun-drenched crop field, a seemingly injured Infinite took a fruit and dropped it in a bag full of more. He limped back to his hut and started a fire. Infinite stood in front of a bowl. He put in a pinch of salt and the put the pot over the fire. Infinite sat and let the fire illuminate him revealing his body to be heavily scarred and the Phantom Ruby was no longer in his chest. He hears something and a blast suddenly shoots through the wall of the hut and throws him back. Sally then swoops in and knocks him over. She wraps her arms around his neck and Knuckles bursts out from the ground grabbing Infinite's left arm. Super Mighty flies in on the other side and grabs his right hand. Razor then appears and slices of Infinite's left arm clean off. Infinite's screams in pain but none of them seemed to have any sympathy for him. Shadow and Rouge walked in the front door. Wave looked around the hut and found the chest device inside a crate heavily damaged and without the Ruby "Oh, no". Shadow stares down at the device and then shares a worried gaze with Rouge. He then turns to Infinite "Where is it?". He didn't say anything, and Sally tightened her grip "Answer the question". He groaned "The universe required correction. After that the Ruby serves no purpose beyond temptation". Knuckles gritted his teeth "You murdered trillions!" he punched Infinite to the ground. Infinite with struggle sat up "You should be grateful", Knuckles kicked him in the face. Tears began to form in Rouge's eyes "Where is the Ruby?" "Gone. Reduced to atoms". Knuckles didn't understand "You used it two days ago" "I used it to destroy it. It nearly killed me. But the work is done. It always will be. I am inevitable". Razor glowers at him tearfully. Mighty looked between them all desperately "We have to tear this place apart. He-He has to be lying!" "My father is many things. A liar is not one of them" Lien-Da said. Infinite stared up at her "Ah, thank you daughter", she saw his eyes flash red for a moment, but she strangely didn't say anything. Infinite tilted his head curiously "Perhaps I treated you too harshly". Razor suddenly raised his sword and brought down on Infinite's neck decapitating him with one slice. Everyone stares in shock "What did you do?". Razor looks down at Infinite's body "I went for the head" he trudged away. Lien-Da kneeled down and closed her father's eyes, Shadow lowered his head.
