(Nobody pov:) Scourge and Fleetway look at Mephiles as he and the doctor go over to Silver. Mephiles holds Silver's hand though he (Silver) is still unconcious while the doctor connects him to an IV drip. Scourge and Fleetway don't really know what to say, Manic can't really get of his bed to look. Lord X is standing with his arms crossed as he looks over at Sunky who is sitting by Manic eating cereal, unaware of what is happening.
Scourge decides he needs to talk, he looks at Mephiles.
'You said Infinite. Who is Infinite?'
'He is a Jackal who posseses a ruby that had belonged to you and Manic-' he replies before being interrupted by Fleetway. 'He attacked me with a weird ruby and showed me illusions.'
This makes Scourge come to a realisation. 'That was the phantom ruby-'
'A curious name.' Mephiles states
'I may or may not have stole it from this guy a few years back-' Manic interrupts Scourge.
'You said he gave it to you!'
'He did just without permission.' Scourge replies while grinning.(Mephiles Pov:) Silver...does not deserve this. He always was the optimistic, kind and loving hedgehog and now...Infinite...this malevolent being, bent on destroying both of my closest friends...people that I have loved. First he attacked Fleetway and now Silver. Perhaps Shadow did say he was going to talk to him but he has clearly been too slow.
I look at the doctor stitching up Silver though his delicate white fur is still coated heavily in his blood.
His natural beauty, his name sake, ruined by the insignificant jackal. He will suffer for this...with blood.
'I will make him drown in his blood... for Silver..' I turn to look at Fleetway 'and for you..' I turn to walk off and begin to get to the door when Fleetway grabs my arm.
'Can I come with to teach that prick a lesson or two?'
'Yes. Scourge, please keep Manic and Silver safe.'
'With my life, I will.'I turn to look at Scourge and see his smile as he then looks over at the short blue hedgehog and X. I ponder to myself who or what this hedgehog could be though I have more important things to be thinking about.
Fleetway and I walk out of the hospital and fly upwards. After momentarily enjoying the vibrant sunset, Fleetway asks me a question.
'So got any idea where he lives?' I give a long sigh after realizing I don't and Fleetway then facepalms.
'Well.. Shadow did go looking for him before. If we find Shadow then we find Infinite.'
'Good idea Mephy.' Fleetway smiles at me after saying that.The two of us begin to fly around at rapid speeds looking for Shadow, at brief moments when I see Fleetway he seems to be smiling. Perhaps he enjoys the freedom of flight.
'There he is!' I hear Fleetway shout before he dives towards the ground, I follow him down and see Shadow who is rubbing his head.
'Shadow, there you are. Have you located the whelp?' Shadow looks at me with some mild confusion once he heard whelp.
'More like...he located me. I was going towards this house when suddenly he attacked me, I fought back but he knocked me out. What did he do when I was unconcious?' So...I have Shadow's weakness to blame for Silver's condition...if he had been stronger then...(Fleetway Pov:) I look at Mephiles who has started to clench his fist. Is he...going to punch Shadow? He wouldn't...would he? His eyes are angry yet...I can feel regret in them. What do I do?
Slowly, I place my hand on Mephiles' back and rub it. He looks at me.
'What happened to Silver isn't your fault-'
'I am aware, it is his fault. Had he been stronger then he would have stopped this!' I shake my head and hold Mephiles close.
'What...happened to Silver?' Shadow asks me.
'The short answer is Infinite hurt Silver. He's in hospital right now, with Manic. Do you have any idea where Infinite could be, Shadow? Is this his home?'
'It isn't his home but he did protect it so he could be inside.'
