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~)
