Changes of Fates: the Ultimate Mercenary

I can't hurt you

Exe's screams filled the air as he kept getting electrocuted. Infinite was clearing enjoying this because he kept a stern look at Exe. 

"Now you know to never underestimate me. I am your God. And none of your friends can save you" Infinite said. 

"Leave him alone!" A voice suddenly said. Infinite was suddenly struck by a spin dash. It was Sonic, here to save Exe. 

"What the heck" Infinite said. he looked up and saw the two Sonics. 

"What?!" Infinite said. "If you're Sonic, then who was i-" He turned and saw Exe lying down as his body was tired for all the shocking, the chains had broken off at this point and he was on the ground, weak.

Infinite felt his vision go blurry as he gazed at Exe. The way he looked there, looked too familiar. A faint memory of someone laying down in that same position played in his head. 

"... What have I done?" A voice in his memory said. 

Infinite snapped back to reality and saw Sonic running at him. He dodged. 

"Why must you ruin the fun for me?" Infinite said. 

"Fun? You tortured this man half to death thinking it was me" Sonic said. 

"Accidents happen. Just ask your parents" Infinite said. Sonic got mad and used a homing attack on Infinite. Exe was breathing heavily as he laid on the ground watching the two fight. 

"Mephiles…." Exe muttered. "Mephiles… I want to see him…"

"Don't worry my Lord. I'll finish this masked singer and then I'll take you back to your-"

Sonic was kicked in the back by Infinite, flying across the room and hitting the wall. Exe couldn't gasp due to being close to death. Sonic laid unconscious, knocked out cold from the attack. Exe coughed and sputtered as he tried to speak. 

"Sonic… " He muttered. He climbed up from the floor but fell down due to being too weak. Exe has never felt this weak. Infinite slowly approached Exe. Exe whimpered. 

"Don't fret. It appears I have made a mistake. You are far too weak to carry on" Infinite said. "Please. Let me help you"

"Why… ." Exe muttered

"Because you are the wrong person. Sonic is gone now and your friends don't know where you are. I can heal you and send you home. Just trust me" Infinite said. Exe slightly nodded. 

"Okay…"

Infinite scooped up Exe. He can feel his weakness in his arms. They disappeared again, leaving Sonic behind. 

Elise and Mephiles ran into the room, ready to fight Infinite. They gasped when they saw that Exe was gone and Sonic was unconscious. 

"We're too late!" Mephiles said. Elise runned to Sonic. 

"He's out cold" Elise said. She dialed a number and Mephiles stared at the wall. He was freaking out because Infinite ran off with his husband again. Why did he take him and not Sonic? 

"We need assistance. It's Sonic!" Elise said on the phone. 

"Sonic? What's he doing there?" Knuckles said on the other end. 

"I guess he tried to stop Infinite but he knocked him out and ran off with Exe" Elise said. 

"We'll be right there. Stay where you are" Knuckles said. Elise hung and went to console Mephiles, who was now rocking himself on the floor. 

"Hey Mephiles, it's gonna be okay" Elise said. 

"He ran off again Elise. What am I gonna do now? We don't know where he is now. He could be dead. Or hurt. And I'm not there with him" Mephiles said. "It should've been me. It should've been me. . " He kept saying it over and over, his voice getting more shaky. Elise gave him a hug. They heard the resistance rush inside the room. 

"Sonic!" Tails yelled. He handed Samara to Amy and ran to his unconscious best friend. 

"I can't lose you again. I just can't" Tails said, trying to shake Sonic again. Knuckles ordered two mobians to take care of Sonic. He walked to Elise and Mephiles. 

"Do you guys know what happened?" He asked. Elise looked up. 

"We don't know. We ran in after infinite escape and Sonic was knocked out. He disappeared with Exe somewhere. We don't know where. But we have to find him before something happens to him. Mephiles can't bear losing his husband. He loved him a whole. I should know, I was the priest at their wedding. I still remember his vows to this day" Elise told Knuckles. Knuckles just nodded and wiped his eyes. 

"We'll look for him. I promise. Let's just head back to base in the meantime" Knuckles said. Elise nodded and stood up, Mephiles standing up as well. The two mobians from earlier carried Sonic on a stretcher into a truck. Tails was following them, crying. Amy handed Samara to Mephiles, which he promptly hugged.

"Hi sweetheart" Mephiles told his baby girl. "I'm so sorry. We couldn't find your father. But I won't stop until we find him. And then we'll go home and be a family again." He kissed his daughter on the forehead and followed the resistance back to their base, where they'll continue to search for Exe and Infinite.
