Infinite X Reader (A Sonic Forces Fanfiction)

Chapter 1

I don't know the names of the Jackal Squad, so for this story I've made them up. If anyone does know their official names feel free to let me know. But considering there is a fan theory that Infinite's name used to be Zero, I decided to go with a certain pattern... Anyway, enjoy...

The sun was high in the sky, beating down on anyone that dared stay out under it. The sky was clear, a bright blue to contrast the tall buildings that were towering over the vast nothingness of the wilderness. A light breeze blew through the fields and trees, ruffling the fur of the Jackal Clan that sat on a large bundle of rocks, waiting and bored out of their mind.

The leader of this squad; the head jackal of the clan, was standing in front of his group, his arms crossed and head lowered in thought. His white scarf slowly moved in the breeze, and he let out a bored sigh. Much like the others, he didn't want to be here; but his current ally, Doctor Eggman, insisted on getting new recruits. He even found one and organised for them to meet straight away, only mentioning that 'she was a feisty one'.

"How long are we going to be out here boss?" One of the other jackals piped up, stepping up next to their leader. She glanced at him with her arms crossed. She wore a green tank top and long brown pants; her hair was pulled back into a low ponytail.

"As long as we need to be Zoe." The leader said, his heterochronic eyes scanning the horizon, "But it better not be too much longer."

"We don't even need any new people." Another jackal stepped up. He had a green bandana around his head and a scar across his muzzle. A white scarf was wrapped around his neck, blending in with the white fur on his chest, "We shouldn't even be working with Eggman."

"He'll help us in achieving our goal Zaun, I wouldn't put our clan in danger. I'll also add that Eggman has done this as a favour for us, as Sonic will be hard to battle. He said the more people we had; the better."

Zaun huffed, lowering his gaze to the rocky ground below them, "Alright, I trust you."

"Have we found any others?" Another asked, he had a red bandana around his neck and a leather belt over his shoulder; a bunch of ninja kuni holstered down his chest. He was leaning against a rock, his eyes closed and an arm leaning on his knee.

"No." The leader said bitterly.

"Then why are we doing this?" Zaun asked again, "What difference will one person make?"

"Apparently a lot." Zoe huffed, "Though I liked being the only girl, now I have to share the respect."

Their leader glanced at her, a small chuckle escaping him, "You have as much respect as you do kills, it has nothing to do with that."

"Oh, right. I'm just badass." She smiled, a hand on her hip.

"We're all badass." The red bandana-d jackal shrugged, "The point is, I remember boss here being against the idea as well, why are you suddenly all for this newbie?"

"I've seen what Sonic can do." He said, "Eggman showed me a lot of battles lost to him, the hedgehog is strong and fast. His friends are too, so I agree with the doctor that it is in our best interest to get as many people as possible."

"Even if it's only one?" Zaun asked.

"One is better than none." Their boss nodded.

"I don't know, I think we're fine on our own." Zoe shrugged, before walking back to the others and sitting down, "Besides, it's hot out here and I'm melting."

"That's because you're a witch." The red bandana-d jackal chuckled.

"Your somewhat close Zee." She shoved him over.
