"What are you going on about?" Mephiles said. "Who are you?"
"You may call me… Infinite" the masked man replied. "The Ultimate Mercenary. And that guy over there thinks he can fool me. I know very well that's Sonic the Hedgehog. Now stand back as I finally defeated him"
"That's not Sonic. Stay away from him!" Mephiles yelled. Infinite swung at Mephiles, sending him flying.
"MEPHILES!" Exe hollered. Infinite grabbed Exe by the collar, raising him up. Exe tried to fight back against Infinite but it proved to not work.
"You can't run from me any longer. Now come face me" Infinite said. Mephiles got up and tried to run after Exe and Infinite but suddenly they both disappeared without a trace.
"EXE!" Mephiles yelled. He just witnessed his husband being captured and there was nothing he could do to save. He knelt to the ground and felt all the tears run down his face.
"NOOOOOOOOO!" He yelled at the sky, covered in tears and grief. Exe is gone and he had no idea where he went.
"I need to warn Elise," Mephiles said. He made a run to the castle, still distraught from what just happened. He kicked open the door, scaring Elise.
"Oh my Solaris Mephiles you scared me" Elise said. "You and Exe were about to be the Kings of Soleanna"
"EXEGOTCAPTUREDBYAMASKEDMANANDNOWHEISPROBABLYDEAD" Mephiles said all at once.
"What?" Elise said. Mephiles was still panting from all the running.
"Exe…masked man… . Captured… " Mephiles said out of breath.
"Exe got captured by a masked man and then they disappeared and you don't know where they are?" Elise said. Mephiles nodded and fell to the ground, crying. Elise kneeled down and patted Mephiles on the head.
"It's okay. We'll search for him" Elise said.
"But how do we know where he is?" Mephiles asked. Elise looked out the window and saw smoke in the distance.
"There" She said. "That smoke is coming from Mobius. The masked man you found is terrorizing the city and soon he'll be taking over the world. We'll meet Sonic and the others in the town and we'll find Exe together" She reached out her hand to Mephiles. Mephiles got her hand and got up.
"Let's go find Exe" Mephiles said. "But first I need to check on the baby" They went to the baby room and saw Samara playing inside her crib
Mephiles picked up the baby and hugged her.
"Hi sweetheart" Mephiles said. "We're gonna go save your dad"
"You seriously gonna take her with us?" Elise said. Mephiles summoned a backpack and started packing baby essentials. Diapers, bottles, you name it.
"I can't risk leaving her here in the castle" Mephiles said. "What if they attack here and the guardians can't save her? I don't wanna lose anyone else" Elise just nodded.
"I'll call Sonic so he knows that we're coming. We need all the help we need to find Exe" Elise said dialing a number. Mephiles hugged his daughter, sobbing a little. As of now, Samara was the only family he had left. He wished that they find Exe soon so things can go back to normal. He can't bear losing both of them.
"We'll find you Exe" Mephiles said to the sky.
