Rise [INFIDGET]

Chapter Five: Decisions

---

POV: Infinite

Perfect, I got him.

I got rid of the illusion and picked up the unconscious wolf, carrying him in my arms as I brought him to my cave.

Once inside, I placed the wolf in the darkest corner and worked on boarding up the entrance with a wall of red cubes that are invisible to everyone but me. The cave itself was damp and dark so it was perfect for my plans.

One of my ears under my mask twitched as I picked up on a faint groan, the wolf was waking up. I finished with the barrier and turned to the waking being.

"Where...where am I?" The weak voice whispered but winced as he moved his head. "Ow!" he groaned and rubbed the back of his head.

"You fell right into my trap" I decided to make myself known and walked up to the injured wolf. "Now tell me, what's your name, little one?" I held up his chin with my finger.

The wolf growled but answered, "Gadget...or you may be more familiar with 'rookie' " he scoffed, clearly avoiding eye contact with me.

POV: Gadget

God dammit! He kidnapped me.

Why?

"Why am I here? What do you want?" I moved my chin away from his finger and backed to the closest wall, my tail curled over me in a means of fear. I may not admit it, but I was terrified of being within Infinites presence, he could do anything to me!

"Simple. I want you to submit to me" Infinite chuckled darkly and watched me.

Why does he want me specifically?

"Why me?" I retaliated and narrowed my eyes, "Can't you make a whole army submit to you?" I huffed and crossed my arms.

Infinite cackled, "Oh, but that's where you're wrong" he grabbed my chin more forcefully this time. "I can make an army submit to me, but there's no fun in that. You are more fun to play with because you are unique"

I raised a brow, "Unique?"

He released my chin, "Yes, you were the one to actually stand up to me in the war" Infinite continued. "You were the one to 'defeat' me when we crossed paths"

"Your point being?" I sighed.

"We can work together" Infinite finally revealed. "I have my powers, while you still have the trust of the Resistance" he explained. "Using those factors we can take over this world from the Doctor"

I looked to the rocky ground, "And if I don't submit?"

"That is your choice, but I advise against it" Infinite growled.

I thought this offer over, it could mean the end of this world. However, I couldn't disobey the Resistance, not after everything they helped me with.

"Can you give me time to think it over?" I asked, weary of his response.

Infinite stared at me for what felt like years before walking off, "Fine. You have this day to decide" he walked to the entrance. "Oh, and by the way, you can't escape here, so don't try." he exited the seal of cubes and went to go terrorise civilians.

My eyes widened, but soon shrunk, I should have known Infinite would make sure I wouldn't leave, looks like I'm not leaving here until I give in my answer.

Curling up in a corner, I checked on my hand since it had been a few days. I carefully peeled off the cast and hissed in slight pain, as the cast was taken off I tried to move my fingers.

My fingers responded and moved, much to my relief. 

Finally! I have my fingers back.

My fur looked to have grown on my hand again which was really good. I decided to keep the cast off so I could regain the strength in my hand ever so slowly. It took my mind off the whole situation for the meantime.

I'll need new gloves...

Currently, I only wore one glove on my unharmed hand, the other got charred. I knew I'd need to loot again, but I couldn't do any of that until Infinite comes back.

Now, I need to wait and think over my answer...

POV: Infinite

"No! Please!"

"You don't have a say in what I do"

A painful scream rang through the streets as I began my murdering spree, the mobian I just killed was a fighter so I got the odd bruise or two, he got way worse though.

His chest was opened and his ribcage was showing, there was lots of cuts around his body and some were deep. His two legs were broken and the bones were displayed through the skin and blood soaked fur. His neck was snapped and in an unnatural position. Not to mention the blood that soaked the concrete ground below in a thick puddle that oozed from his cuts and chest.

Damn, now my hands and chest has blood on it.

I growled and walked away from the deformed mess of a body. The blood helped me to scare others, but it also stuck to my fur and would be a pain to scrub off. I walked around, my thoughts turned to Gadget in the cave, would he accept? If he didn't, I would have no problem forcing him into it.

Then again, I wouldn't kill him.

He's far too valuable.

After three more killings, my fur was drenched in filthy blood, my ears rang slightly from the screaming of some of my victims and my mask had a small amount of splattered blood on it.

I decided to take a break to clean myself at the stream in the forest. As I got there I took off my gear and washed my mask, sitting down at the stream silently. The blood washed into the stream turning it red for a few seconds before the fresh water cleared it up. I only washed what had blood over it, the ruby on my chest was unaffected by water so washing my chest wasn't an issue.

Once I was done, I put on my mask and gear and walked back to the cave, expecting Gadget to have the answer I need when I returned.

Entering the cave, I spotted the red furred mobian in the corner.

"Your answer?" I started and walked up to him.

He growled at me as I approached but I shrugged it off. I waited a few seconds and watched him as he spoke up.

"No. I won't join you." He snarled.

No? Fine then. You're stuck with me anyway.

"Well then, let's play a little game." I snarled and grabbed him by his neck.

"Every time you refuse, I cut you a little, the more you refuse the more I cut." I chained him to the wall using my cubes.

He looked at me with fear in his amber eyes.

Oh yes, give me your fear~
