kiwisharku asked:
Hi, I was wondering if you have the time to write a Sonic Forces Story with Amy trying to redeem Infinite like she did with Shadow back in Sonic Adventure 2? Probably best to have Sonic or Custom character to be there with her.

Prompt:
"There is only one thing that is certain…" Infinite stepped towards Amy, who had been knocked back and was crawling backwards away from Infinite.
The look in her eyes was not of fear… but of rage.
He stopped a moment from advancing towards her, and rose a hand up.
"And that is…" he cocked his head towards her, looking at her from a different angle through his mask while she breathed on the ground.
She moved her legs up, ready…
"…That I am infinite." he powered up his cubes, starting to have them glow as Amy's eyes scanned each one that lit up.
Her hand wavered in the air a moment before getting up and darting off.
He swiped his hand and they all flooded the scene, scrambling over each other as they tried to reach her.
"I'll erase you from this world.. the dimension you consist of thereof… and all… other… times." his eye narrowed… almost in disgust at her even being alive.
She tripped while looking back over her shoulder to see the cubes that held her fate in their power, but quickly called out as she ducked and hid behind her hands.
"YOU'RE WRONG!"
His eye twitched and the cubes suddenly froze.
"…Wrong..?" he seemed infuriated by it… but also, strangely intrigued.
"You've peaked my interest… speak further of what you think is… wrong about what I have spoken."
He slowly moved his hand up and began to form a small fist, before pulled his arm back and having the cubes, one by one in small groups, pull away from her and back behind him.
"In the few moments you have left to remain present in this universe… you may want to speak slowly.." as he walked forward, he continued to loom over her, but stepped off the ground just enough to fold his arms and hover by her in the air.
He raised his head up, "You have one minute." his voice never seemed to be joking, but his words certainly came off as though he would be mocking her.
Amy took a second to get her bearings again, realizing she wasn't going to disappear, she turned to her back and started to get herself off the ground.
"…You said that for certain… you're the only one whose infinite around here…"
He glared down at her.
"Is that not so?"
"It's not."
His fingers drilled into his hide, scrapping against his arm in his rage, before he continued to use self-control… and remain still..
"And how do you claim such a thing exists..?" he tilted his head down… "Or are you just stalling the inevitable?"
Amy took a deep breath, closing her eyes and straightening herself out, before turning back to him.
She held her hands out to her sides, and nodded towards him. "There is a power that exists far greater than even you, Infinite. Or even your namesake's meaning.."
She held his stare, not backing down.
"Spit it out." he moved his arms to his side, but remained relatively calm and nonthreatening to her now…
He gestured a hand out and waved it around while he spoke, "And what is this… 'greater than infinite' power you speak of..?"
He laughed, "A silly girl's dreams… there is nothing greater than infinity…"
"Eternity." Amy stood bravely, confidently.
His eyes widened for a second, before dashing down to her, up right at her face…
Now he was growing impatient…
"There is no such thing."
"Hate, power, force… it isn't eternal. Those things wash away with time and corrosion… It's unfulfilling. Some even call it-"
He rose a hand to cut her off, but it only made her twitch as she closed her eyes a moment, trembling…
"Go on.." he turned his head, so close to her own that she knew he was waiting for her to finish to deliver the final blow…
The cubes were twirling in the air behind him… moving closer…
"Madness…" she breathed out, before glaring back at him and shoving her head, full force, towards his own.
In shock, he moved back, the cubes suddenly freezing in their turning…
He scanned her expression…
"What on earth is giving you such confidence in your answer?!" he threw his arm back and the cubes fell to the ground.
"TELL ME!"
"A power you can never possess! Or control!" Amy stomped a foot down, before walking back towards a cliff…
"A power that is both infinite and ever-lasting! Infinite only means your power never wanes, but eternity means it never dies! Never stops growing! Infinite is simply reaching ones limits of absoluteness! but what I have and know to be greater reaches no limitations, no end, and no possible way of stopping it from advancing far into the eternities of time and space!"
"Impossible… what you speak of is unfathomable…" Infinite was… looking back and forth to the ground, his eye shaking,…
Unable to understand what she was speaking about, he threw his hands up to his mask, shaking his head, before bolting his cubes towards her.
"IMPOSSIBLE! Nothing of such magnitude can defeat my power!"
"It can. And it will!" Amy smiled, hearing a familiar sound-effect speed by her below.
"What is it you speak of!?" His voice raged with his desire to know, but Amy just spread her arms out, as if accepting the cubes..?
His eye flinched back, his hand wavering slightly at destroying her.
She waited…
"Grr…RAHHH!" he threw back his hand, and once again, the cubes remained out of reach from her.
"TELL ME!" he threw them away from her, "OR I SHALL DESTROY ANY HOPE YOU EVER HAD OF EXISTENCE!"
"That's just it, Infinite."
She leaned back, closing her eyes.
"Hope… and love."
His eye shook, seeing her fall as he threw the cubes out to her, "NOOOO!" he wouldn't accept that reply, he couldn't.
Suddenly, instead of the cubes either catching her or making her disappear… the audience may never know his true intent in that moment… because speeding away the Blue hero had caught her as she fell, and they sped off safely together.
He threw a tantrum of sorts, bashing his cubes around and crying out in pain and anger.
"I'll show you.. Amy Rose…" his body violently shook, as he hunched over and then rose himself up, spreading out and having fire encircle him and more cubes spring from that fire… creating wings of glory.
"I'll take over the universes… every last dimension will fall under my power… my force will be infinite upon every plain of existence.. nothing… even your precious hope won't have a place to breath under my fire!"
He spread his cubed-wings out and cried out in agony, something painful happening within him..
(Did she change him? Or for worse? That's left to be undetermined… ;) )

Upon popular request… (Part 2)
(x) A 'sort-of' sequel to this prompt… :) (x) Continued. :Dc
Prompt:
"This is the end of your foolish notions, Amy.. Rose… I refuse to let something so trivial stand in my perfect way…"
Having fought off Sonic, Infinite's glitchy, faded silhouettes from every dimension or alternate reality's heads all turned to her.
He began to walk forward as they disappeared… one.. by one.. till their universe was the only one left.
Sonic struggled on the ground, gripping some dirt in his hands before straining himself to get up.
"A-Amy… Run!" he cried out, getting to his feet and dashing to Infinite.
Suddenly, Amy watched in amazement as multiple, faded Sonics from all different dimensions, times, and space within countless universe's appeared doing different tactics.
Her universe's Sonic and Infinite fought, but the others were being defeated.
"You can't possibly hope to win." he purposefully emphasised 'hope' for Amy's sake, and then slashed his hand through the air to send a red flare to Sonic, like a ray of light that shot him down and knocked him on his back again.
"Offph!..ugh…" he let his leg fall, but his hand came to his stomach and his head turned.
He wasn't doing so hot..
"Sonic.." Amy's eyes shook in worry, before Infinite turned his attention once again to her.
"Every possibility.. from every,.. different dimension.. has led to you dying, Amy Rose." he lifted his hand up, for some reason, seeming stuck or even obsessed on proving her wrong.
"And you called me limited." he swished his tail back, his eye closing as he turned to the ground, almost motioning his hand back…
She looked to Sonic, who slowly got up, but was panting… with his eyes… he was telling her to get out of here.
She pressed her lips together, anxious to say something, but gasped again when she saw him swing himself back from mocking her.
"Hahaha.. Some hero. You will die this day.. this time.. Amy Rose. As you have always done." he swished his tail, narrowing his eyes. "Love cannot save you… in any possible future created…"
Amy's eyes shrunk as she started to back away, his hand moving up as he crushed it into a fist.
His eyes were full of fire… death looked pretty certain in those blazing red eyes.. the yellow irises pierced into her and for a second..
She trembled in fear of cold, death.
"Now then… as i exists in every outcome of this fate… I shall not miss the mark.." he threw his hand back, charging it up as Sonic got onto his knee, still weary- but giving Amy a cue…
He nodded.
He wasn't going to give up so easily..
His fists came up and she nodded back,…
Then she ran.
"Hmph!" He threw the beam out, but Sonic ran and gripped it with his hand, skimming to a halt and holding his wrist.
"AHH!" he hissed at the steam he saw from his now burnt palm, and turned to Infinte.
"Well… Erk… that's one possibility down."
Infinite tsk'ed.
He powered through the air and slammed into Sonic.
"Interfere all you want,… but this is one fate you'll be sorely disappointed in…" he moved a hand over his mask, as suddenly his eyes widened and his ego grew enraged when Amy's voice spoke up again.
"If you've seen every possiblity.. then you have to know- Love has no bounds, and Hope can't be defeated! Give up, Infinite! Why do you want to merge all universes into such a ugly world… to just destroy it all and end everything?"
"GRR…I'm so sick of your voice!" he went to charge her but Sonic's shadowed possibilities came back-
One jumped on his head, but a faded Infinite turned around and hit him off. Another tried to hit him from the side, a powerful kick, but Infinite's possibility tail whipped him away, sending him flying.
Multiple attempts at saving Amy.. and failing miserably…
"I am all… and I am one." Infinite rose his arms, and the cubes suddenly glitched into reality, and this world's Sonic was pushed back by them.
"NO!" he cried out, seeing all his other attempts through time and space failing as well.
"AMY!" for the first time, Amy heard pure fear in Sonic's voice. Worry couldn't even describe that pitch that came from him calling out her name.
She ran faster, but couldn't help and turn back to check on Sonic.
However, when she realized Infinite was gaining on her at extreme speeds; she ducked into the alleyways of the ruined cityscape and kept weaving through them.
She wanted to look back.. as all of a sudden there was a ghost version of one future, where she turned to look back, and a beam shot into her face.
"AHH!" Amy shrieked, seeing that future fade and disappear as a cube took it's place.
"No where to run… from whatever path you choose… I will know where it ends."
Infinite's eye shot open with a powerful, sharp stare.
He threw his hand out.
"Now,.. you die!"
"Wrong!"
Amy jumped!
Having faith that Sonic could still save her, she looked below her and saw the other Amys of different outcomes turning left or right, only to be hit; but Infinite, even in his vastness of presence in all universes, skidded to a halt as he had-
Missed?
His eye twitched.
"What..?" he looked up.
Amy glared down.
In a split-second… Sonic had shot from the ground and grabbed her torso, racing away as Amy clung to his head, looking back to Infinte and smiling gleefully.
She had stunned Infinite.
"This is not the dimension where I die!" she cried out.
He lifted a shaky hand to his eye.. "I..Im.. Impossible.."
With every bit of air left in her, she threw her head up, and shot it down- belting the words she truly believed in with all her heart…
"This is the dimension.. where you realize you lose!"
He roared, an animalistic cry that broke sound and sent a shock-wave through the area.
It was like it was painful for him to confess it…
He threw his head back down, unarching his back.
"So long as the dimensions are fused as one… I will track your scent down… and I will prove to you that there is nothing you can do to stop- INFINITE!" he shot his arms out, as cubes covered the walls and flooded the open areas…
Searching…
Sonic, in his apparent fright and desperation, rolled out of a townsquare's clearing and bashed himself against a wall.
He laid there.. heavily breathing.. his eyes scanning for life…
Amy immediately shook her head, before turning back and placing her hands lovingly on the sides of his face, realizing he was panicking.
"Sonic.. Sonic? I'm here. I'm alright. You have to believe me, Sonic. This is not the world where I die! This is the one we'll beat him in!" she pleaded for him to snap out of it, and he closed his eyes.
Relieved she was unharmed, he placed a hand to one side of his face that wasn't facing the ground, and held it a moment before Infinite came flying in, with his cascade of red cubes…
There sound was like pixels forming in trinkles upon a screen… and they glitched all around him like waterdroplets…
"If you choose to believe that… then you really are fools." he shifted his clawed fingers out, rolling them before rotating his wrist and spreading his arms out, a leg up slightly in the air as he powered his cubes around him in the air.
They glowed at the strength he provided for them.
Sonic got up, helping Amy to her feet and moving her behind him, a protective hand out, as he gasped for sane air and a calm thoughts…
"Would you like to see.." Infinite tilted his head, "All of the ways you die..? Sonic?"
Again, Sonic flinched a little with his arms moving out and back, and his head swishing around at all the hims that appeared in see-through form.
They charged Infinite in different and numberless ways, all falling under the cubes firing endless bullets to each one.
When they fell, or were shot, or hit down by Infinite's possibilities flying out around him, they disappeared in glitchy squares around them.
Sonic kept looking around… realizing they never quit..
"Sonic." Amy put a hand on his shoulder.
He looked back at her, kinda shaken up by seeing him die so many times, in so many ways…
He nodded to her, and looked forward.
"Amy..?"
Her eyes grew concerned, trying to look over his shoulder and hear him better from behind.
"…I can watch myself lose… over and over again… but.."
He lowered his head.
"..I can't stand to see you die… because of me."
She held her breath.
"Amy.. promise you won't think less of me.."
His fists clenched tightly together.
She nodded, "You could never be a coward to me, Sonic. Turning tail and running for my sake.. would be the bravest thing you could ever do for me." her eyes bent back, she truly meant it.
Her heart was breaking at all the times she witnessed him dying too, and if anything could save both their lies..
It's Sonic letting go of his pride.
"Now… come and meet BOTH you're fates..!" Infinite jerked himself forward, ready…
Sonic slowly lifted his head up, a fierce glare.
"That's a battle-…
For another day…"
Sonic turned and quickly grabbed Amy, darting out of the city as Infinite's eye scanned the area, amazed as the blue lightening faded from his eye, and the possibility disappeared one by one..
"No.. No this can't be.." he watched as this universe began to shift… and he gripped his mask, the pain soaring through him of another life of suffering- before he ever got it right…
"NOOO!"
She had proven herself right..
For now..
Sonic darted into the woods, safe in teh darkness of the day that soon crept in- before placing Amy down.
He moved away from her, overcome with feeling as though he had backed out- but not wanting to risk losing Amy..
"We did it, Sonic.. we really did it!" Amy, unnoticing his distress for a moment, joyfully looked to her hands, and then cheered, turning to him. "We foiled Infinite!"
Sonic, still breathing a bit loudly, panted and turned to look sorrowfully over his shoulder to her, before turning away once again.
Her excitement at their triumphant seemed to melt away at seeing his expression.. and slowly moved over to him.
"Sonic..? What's wrong?"
"..I would never normally ask this of you Amy.."
His voice grew grave.
Amy's eyes started to shake, turning glossy…
"Don't do this…" she breathed out, realizing he-
"But you can't follow me into battle this time… for now,.. just not yet." he squinted his eyes shut and shook his head.
"Sonic.." she pushed a hand to her chest…. feeling her heart start breaking into thousands of pieces.
"You have to believe me Sonic.. you have to believe that this is the universe where we stop Infinite! Where everyone lives!"
"I can't risk you dying, Amy!" he threw himself around, his eyes intense, shutting her up almost at once.
He calmed down for a moment, and in shame at yelling to her, he looked away and hung his head to the side.
His eyes scanned the ground before he locked them shut to worry, and moved back towards her… "Amy…" he extended his arms to the side of himself, leaning forward.
"It's for the best…"
She turned her head away from him.
"I.. I don't care if you push me away…" she admitted, but her fist shook violently to her side. "But to not believe me.. to not trust me.. I COULD DIE A THOUSAND DEATHS- IN A THOUSAND DIFFERENT WAYS- AND STILL NOT FEAR BEING IN LOVE WITH YOU!"
She threw her hand out, as he stepped back, shocked by her words.
"I wouldn't care if every time I did… I was put in harms way. I would still love you, Sonic The Hedgehog! That's why Infinite can't win! It's because I will never doubt that! That I would never quit following you, or remaining by your side, so long as I breath I-!" She threw her head up from her declarations as Sonic's face grew stone-like… his mouth forming into a conflicted frown as he tried desperately to be firmer than before.
"Please.." he lowered his voice,… forcing her to quiet down to hear him.
It completely silenced her, as she bent her ears back and hunched down slight, moving away; timidly…
His eyes shone with the threat of his own feelings pouring out in tears… but he never shed one- not a single drop.
He stood firmly, straightening himself out as he took a breath and held his peace.
"Stay away from me, Amy… At least until this war is won."
Her mouth hung open as she gripped her arms up by the crook of her neck.
She lowered her head and started softly crying..
He couldn't hold fast to the faith she had…
He couldn't truly… believe in that kind of love.. or at least.. in her yet.
He seemed to want to comfort her, but turned his head away. His outstretched arms were now pulled forcefully in.
"I-.. I'll go." With her gaping mouth, she was able to get the words she wanted out right.
She stepped away, slowly… as if cowering to the fact that he was rejecting her.
"…But only because I know you're doing this to protect me.. and hopefully.." she lifted her head up, as if every bit of her being was left on this one.. last line…
"That it's out of love."
He said nothing, but refused to look at her. Standing firm, he closed his cruel eyes that betrayed him as he frowned and let the tension from his shoudlers go as she ran off.
"Amy…" he turned back to look at her racing away, his eyes longing for one last look…
"I just can't risk losing you." he shook his head and took off, regretting every minute of what he had just done..
The guilt lasted for quite some time..
Even as many more fights were won, he would look up…
And see her standing on a hill.
Shyly, she would look up in sorrowful pain, and wave.
He only watched the action… before seeing her ears bend back in humble surrender to his request, and start to walk backwards down the hill, lowering herself out of sight..
One day, she raced to the woods and swung herself behind a tree, gripping her heart at the ache of not being able to praise him, to embrace him, to declare how much she missed him and that she was glad he was safe…
"Such agony…"
She gasped and tried to run but from the shadows… Infinite looped a strong, tight hand around her mouth so she couldn't scream.. another around her waist.
Pulling her towards him, she was immobilized but tried to fight back, her muffled shouts only made it more pleasurable for Infinite to grip her body into absolute submission.
He moved his mask's sharp end into her neck, taking in the scent he had tracked for so.. so long.. but couldn't trace out with the others in the battlefield.
"At long last.." he lightly spoke, as Amy felt herself gasping for air and numbness coming from her limps at his tight, animalistic hold on her.
"I've been waiting to prove you wrong.." he laughed, chuckling as he moved the knife like edge away from her neck and then lifted her into the air.
Her eyes were starting to go black from suffocation…
"Sometimes.." he almost purred in a dark, husky voice..
His eyes narrowed as he felt her body going lame in his grasps..
"One creates his fate… by trying to prevent it."
"Ah.." she moaned her last breath, losing consciousness before he freed her.
He let her body drape over the side of his arm, and stared at it…
She began to gently breath again, and he looked to all the possibilities around him that let her die; dropping cold the lifeless body beneath him and then taking off.
But he held the still breathing body on his arm.. and stared at it.
Hovering up and down in slight movements… his tail swished to keep balance as her body seemed to roll off his arm, and he caught it.
"…Perhaps… there is more than just death that awaits you.." his pondering led him to a new idea.. one that could ensure Sonic's destruction, the war's end, and the world's successful merge towards it's doom once and for all…
Remembering how Sonic usually held Amy, he moved her bridal style, and once again, just seemed to be stuck in the moment with her..
He tilted her head towards him, looking at her fainted face… and watched as she breathed gently in her sleep..
"…Hmph… Hope and…" he stopped himself.
"…love…" he saw her head slowly, through gravity, roll back and fall.
He moved his arm and shoulder to bring it up by his face again… keeping her there.
He moved his eye up her frame, "Maybe… there is more to learn about this… Eternity… you speak of." he looked to the moon in the sky, and seemed suck in it's light.
"Why kill what I could learn from.. so that I may more fully understand it…" he turned sharply back to her, "And kill it quicker- Again!"
He then soared through the sky.
Faking Amy's death, he let Sonic watch as Amy's downed body disappear in a mist of cubes.
"NOO!" Sonic raced forward but was too late to even reach her before the cubes left nothing in their wake.
"She's gone, Sonic." Infinite rose in the air, "I've erased her from this existence. Soon,.. you'll barely remember her name."
Sonic fell to his knees. "Amy…" he slowly twitched his hands to his head.
Infinite looked away, ahead of him.
"Finish the job." he stated to Shadow, and darted up.
Shadow watched him, confused why he was putting on this show…
Infinite, once out of sight, drew back the form of flowing cubes, opening them up to reveal a perfectly unharmed Amy Rose.
He let his clawed hand skim over her head a moment.
"Hahaha… Even in a world where you still abound… he can't have you now…" his eye locked in a gleeful evil, before turning in shock to see Tails above; leaning over the side of a building's rooftop.
"Amy..!" he lightly breathed out, whispering- before seeing Infinite glare his way.
"Uh oh." Tails took off, as Infinite summoned Chaos, who glitched out of a drain, his body halfway out before looking to where Infinite's hand gestured out and pointed too.
"Stop him! Don't let him live to breath the tale!"
Chaos obeyed and scaled the building like a backwards river- going to hunt for Tails…
(that's the end :)c you like? Amy kinda is changing Infinite.. but again, was it for the better or for worst? Since he clearly could care less about preserving the world or it's universes lol. Up to you~)
Part 3:
These are compiled in a photo so this is the ASKS:
Anonymous: Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeease can you continue that infinite prompt!? I love your writing so much but this cliffhanger is killing meeeeeeeee! AH!
Bracecresecent: OH MY GOODNESS. Ok so I know you might be annoyed by this, but can you please continue the story in which Amy is changing Infinite. ITS AMAZING DJSKSKS
Kiwisharku: I would love for you to continue on with the prompt of Amy trying to redeem Infinite. I don't know how it will go especially when we know so little of Infinite but you making these stories make it worth the wait until the actual game because I love how canon The personality the sonic cast is.
Anonymous: Hey mayra, I just had the most perfect prompt idea! What if Infinite per say had taken a love interest in Amy and tries to win her affection by hurting her. Sonic becomes jealous and irritated and no matter how much he tries he cant get her back. Amy in no way is accepting the advances which leads to infinite deciding she was better off dead but before he kills her, sonic turns dark and saves her. :-) Hope youre doing alright! You must be extremely busy but I just couldnt help myself. 3
Yall need closure and I love it XD Also, I'll combined the Infinite requests, I can use them together :)c
Prompt:
In a hazy room full of cubes… monitors seemed removed from the area as if it was reconstructed as a steel-prison, Amy slowly awoke to find herself laying on some floating cubes, hovering up and down.
In panic, she threw herself off and stumbled upon getting up, looking around.
"…Still think you're right?"
She gasped and turned around, but saw nothing.
Her eyes squinted through the haze, but nothing was there…
Suddenly, the scene shifted as Infinite stood perfectly still in front of her, the cubes floating around her were giving her an illusion… he folded his arms and stared straight at her.
"Y..yes." Amy had to take a second, her body felt heavy and her eyes were hurting.
Where was she?
How long had she been separated from Sonic?
"…Then." he closed his eye.
"…I'll have to make you wrong."
He lifted his head up and slowly opened his eye.
The cubes flew around and then charged her, pining her up in the air and spreading her out as she struggled but each limb was tugged out and held in place.
He floated up a moment, lightly moving a claw to her face…
"If I can't have the power of which you speak…"
She struggled, trying to move her head from his grasps. Her grunts and strains only made him remove his hand, looking more intent on whatever he was planning to do…
"Then I'll simply take it from you."
He took, daintily, a cube that was floating around into his hand.. and twisting it slightly in his hand…
He shoved it into her.
At first, Amy's painful cry indicated she was resisting it, but with further aggressive propelling, he was able to push it within her being and it disappeared.
Her eyes started to flicker and she flung her head around.
"W-What…" she cried out, "Have you done to.. to me!? AHHH!"
She fainted in the pain.
When waking up, she looked around,…
She was lying on the ground, and once again she felt weak and heavy….
Her eyes strained once more…
Through the fog..
"…Amy..?"
Amy's ears didn't hear anything… but a voice suddenly shifted in her mind, and she looked up.
From the fog… Sonic's form appeared, standing strong above her.
"Sonic.." her eyes flickered and dilated.
"Sonic!" She jumped up, embracing her love-time love as she held him and cried, before all feeling seemed to be drained from her.
"I… I missed you so much…"
Sonic's hand began to lift to her side…..
As Infinite's replaced it in image, and held her closer.
In a truly evil laugh, he rose it up to almost a howl of wicked pleasure and delight.
He had won.
He was now right.
—
Sonic raced on when Tails finally told him why Chaos was so adamant about trying to destroy him.
With lightning speed, he slid to a cliff where Infinite had told him to meet him…
Looking at his communicator, that also held a map and location device, he scanned around for any sign of him.
Already growing frustrated, and not sure what Infinite truly wanted with Amy… he clenched his fists and swung his head around.
"INFFFINIATE!" he called out. "Show yourself, you coward! What have you done with Amy!?"
A husky laugh was heard… one that still crawled up the skin and left cold chills in it's wake, stabbing at the wounded heart and crushing the soul in it's very sound…
Sonic hunched slightly, his face showing a bit of a fear for the first time- but not for himself- but for what this creep may want with Amy…
"Let her go! Where is she!?" Sonic almost spun himself completely around in a twirl of sorts, positioning himself direction in front of Infinite.
Infinite chuckled lightly from his loud laughter a moment ago…
He knew he had won.
He swiped his hand out and cubes came flying around him.
One… in particular a mass of them, remained by his side.
"You long to see her so… desperately?" he smirked under his mask.
"Very well…"
He looked as though he was about to- NO! He attacked!
Flying straight for Sonic, he began to tussle with him, leading him closer and closer to the edge…
"Er, grr, rah!" Sonic fought but was pushed to the edge and grabbed by cubes down by his foot.
"Wha-huh!?" He rotated his arms in swirls, before looking down to behold them starting to engulf him.
"H-hey! Play fair!" he felt them forcing his hands down to his sides, tightening around him, before leaning him horizontally off the edge… still clinging to the cliff side.
"…Do you know… What cliff this is?" Infinite raised a hand, walking over the cubes that created a small, broken bridge over Sonic's captured body.
Sonic still struggled, not looking down before moving his head to glance over his shoulder at the drop.
His eyes widened, suddenly recognizing the terrain.
"This is where…"
"Yeesss…. Where you're friend and I first squared off in ideologies." he lifted the other hand up, as if his mind was elsewhere, he began to monologue.
"Every since that day… I've despised your friend… And that's when I realized… I believed her."
He suddenly shifted his eye down to Sonic, narrowing it in rage.
"Her foolish notions and idiotic ranting actually opened my eyes to a reality of new life… new… power untouched!"
"Which eye?" Sonic smirked, still trying to play it cocky.
Infinite was momentarily snapped out of his venting, and looked down a bit offended at Sonic's interruption.
He laughed again.
"You're friend claimed that… hope and love.. could save you all."
He bent to a knee.
"Even me…"
"How's that working out for ya?"
"Well…" he crooked his neck, looking over to the mass of cubes. "Better I'd say then you… if I can't have that untapped power… why not- steal it?"
Sonic's mouth suddenly hung a bit open and he looked to the mass, not sure what Infinite was getting at.
The cubes in the air all dispersed to reveal Amy, who gently floated to the ground.
Her eyes blinked and she beheld her Sonic, nothing more.
"Sonic… Oh, Sonic!" she ran forward.
"Amy!" Sonic struggled in his trap, but was still laying down over the side of a huge drop! "Hang on, Amy! I'm-!"
Infinite, while Sonic kept answering, rose up and turned to her, before she embraced him and happily went on with her doting remarks for … 'Sonic'.
"Oh! Where have you been!? I've been so bored without you, ya know. You really shouldn't leave without saying goodbye."
Sonic's whole being seemed to slow down rapidly.. as his eyes scanned the strange moment between the two…
Infinite tenderly looked to her and lightly took a quill and began to affectionately stroke it out.
"You see..? How easy it is to acquire anything I so desire… even 'eternal power' as she called it.. but you know what I've discovered through… unlocking this… unknown power?"
He suddenly smacked Amy to the ground.
"Ow.!" Amy flinched on the ground, gripping her torn ear….
Sonic's eyes widened, shifting to thrust his head up, "NO!"
Infinite chuckled into another maniacal laugh again.
He rose his head up and turned to look at his hands.
"You see..? Why take the power… when I could destroy it?"
"AMY!"
"W-what did I do wrong..?" Amy's tears covered all of Sonic's vision… as he suddenly violently tensed from within the grasps of the cubes…
"You did nothing wrong…" Infinite turned back to her from over his shoulder, and spoke as if kindly to her.
In Amy's mind, she looked up to see her hero, a wicked look in his face, speaking as if in Sonic's cocky and arrogant voice.
"I just think pain is stronger than beauty."
"AHHHH!"
Sonic suddenly started to turn savage, his fur turning more darker as he broke from the cubes, causing Infinite to fly up and watch as Sonic tumbled down.
"…Fool." he moved towards Amy, picking her up as she clutched her ear in still pain.
"…Yes… I think I've found something more.. powerful than your hope and love…"
He pinched her ear, moving her hand that was defending it away, and taking pleasure from her wincing away.
"…Suffering."
"AMY!"
"Hmm?" Infinite turned in shock suddenly, getting whammed into by a rocket-speeding hedgehog.
"UGH!" his eye flinched in a violent vibration, being carried higher and higher into the atmosphere.
"What is this!?" he was amazed by Sonic's immense and wild power.
"How is this possible?!"
"SHE." Sonic gritted his teeth together, his eyes turning white.
"WAS." through the intense airspeed, he reached a hand slowly up through the pressure of breaking the stratosphere and wrapped a gripping hand around a stunned and frozen Infinite.
"RRRIIIIIIGHHHHTTTTT!"
"NOOOOOOOO!"
A power of great quantities suddenly engulfed the two. All the cubes, with Infinite's spread power flew rapidly in the air like backwards rain; being called in his hour of need.
The power was so great… this.. negative chaos, stirred by immense, raw emotion he had never seen nor witnessed before.
He strained to push Sonic back, feeling reality shift so quickly around them into black and white lines… thus was how fast Sonic was rocketing him out of the known universe.
"It… It's… imp…imposs….ible…." He was straining against the pressure, more so against the squeezing sensation around his throat.
His eye widened then, Amy's voice coming to mind.
Hate, power, force… it isn't eternal. Those things wash away with time and corrosion… It's unfulfilling. Some even call it-
Madness.
He felt his body giving way on him… his hands that were holding somewhat Sonic's power back suddenly gave way…
Waning in consciousness…
A power you can never possess! Or control! A power that is both infinite and ever-lasting! Infinite only means your power never wanes, but eternity means it never dies! Never stops growing! Infinite is simply reaching ones limits of absoluteness!
His eye began to roll back into it's socket… Each word she spoke was perfectly relaying in the back of his mind… As though he could relive the exact scene… that voice..
Her voice…
But what I have and know to be greater reaches no limitations, no end, and no possible way of stopping it from advancing far into the eternities of time and space!
"I…" losing oxygen and the will to live, Infinite….
Ceased.
If you've seen every possibility.. then you have to know- Love has no bounds, and Hope can't be defeated!
This is not the dimension where I die!
"This is the dimension.. where you realize you lose!"
Dark Sonic suddenly quoted the rest- as the cubes all around Sonic, trying to catch up to his speed, suddenly exploded.
Amy… still out of it and mind-controlled on the ground, felt a searing pain as the cube sped out of her being, and twitched violently in the air.
Amy got her hammer out.. still weak from it's effects, and slammed it down on the cube, as it exploded anyway.
She panted, before looking up to see the explosions of what looked to be stars out in the sky.
"…Ha….Ha… You can't replace love, Infinite… you can only manipulate it." she fainted then.
Waking up, she saw Sonic holding her close, his head down with slight sounds of mourning, before her eyes batted to life and she held a hand to his lowered face.
"…Emm… Son… Sonic..?"
He rose his head up in a quick jerk, and looked back to her.
"…Amy..?"
She smiled.
"Told ya…" she beamed, but weakly so as he helped her lean on his shoulder.
"Heh. You sure did." he wiped something from his eyes and then smiled back to her, having tended her hurt ear and head already.
"…Love.. never dies…" she felt weak, and started to fade again.
"Woah-woah-woah! Hey now!" Sonic caught her from sliding off of him and tried to keep her up. "Amy, you can't faint again… I … I need you to keep celebrating with me, alright?"
"… Is he..?"
"…No." Sonic turned his head away, as if feeling like a failure.
"He teleported through dimensions… I think he's too weak to come back anytime soon though…"
"Heh. More time to reflect on.. erk… me being right." she lightly gloated, a small giggle escaping her soft breaths over her lips.
"…Amy…" Sonic tenderly looked down at her, worried.
"…Is this all he did to you?" he tried to hold it together, act calm, but Amy could tell as his hand reached to test her ear- that he held himself back in more rage.
Light blue turned darker still… and she stopped him before his imagination ran just as wild as his feet.
"No." she gripped his hand.
"I'm…" she started to slip away.
"Amy..?" He felt her hand loosen and quickly pulled her up again.
"Amy! Stay with me! Come on!"
"I told you… you shouldn't.. emm… be worried…" she was…. she was-!
"Amy…" In her blur, she noticed something clear falling from Sonic's face…
Her mind failed her in comprehending it, only lasting on last thought…
"…This… is the universe…"
"Where we won." Sonic clutched her hand, "But I can't celebrate until you promise me… promise me you'll be alright."
He held her hand up to try and lift her, but she fell back and laid down, forcing him to move over her.
"Amy… Please..."
For the first time, Amy heard something in Sonic's voice she couldn't recognize, something unfamiliar to her.
A loss of all hope?
"Sonic.. don't lose… hope…" she barely got the words out, before fainting out of existence again.
The teams all stated Sonic would spend hours by her bedside, still fighting a now doomed Eggman, but coming back to tell her all about it.
Her coma was induced from the heavy, drug-like, effects done to her brain… she was like a breathing vegetable for a while…
Her body recovered faster than her brain did.
Sonic proved her right time and time again, always coming in with another exciting story, showing his heart by acting it out and getting excited as if she was reacting to him.
Over and over he would imagine her laugh, her smile, and even a light flirtation that he knew wasn't so 'light' in the end.
He would play with this pretend.. never giving up… never surrendering to Infinite's lies.
He knew.
He was proving it to the rest of the teams, the world even.
When sitting by her bedside as usual, and finally seeing her stir to life, and open her eyes to smile at him-
He knew he was proving it true.
That Amy was right.
