Zero's POV ♾

After I slammed the pie in Shadow's face, I grabbed him by the scruff of his neck and pulled him roughly close to my face.

"I don't fucking care what you're gonna say or what not but, I. HATE. YOU! It's all your damn fault that my squad got killed!

And me and my squad didn't do anything wrong in order for them to die!" I said, my voice heavy with rage before I grabbed my water bottle and splashed it on his face.

Then I threw Shadow back roughly, causing him to fall over and crash into a bunch of chairs.

"I was thinking about turning over a new leaf and hoping the resistance such as Sonic and everyone else would forgive me for the sins I made, but, what's the point anyways when I'm probably gonna be sent to prison and receive a death penalty?" I say angrily.

I looked back at everyone, as I had tears running down to the sides of my face, before I took off and ran out of the cafeteria.

Not even bothering to empty my tray while I was ignoring Sonic and everyone else who were calling out to me.

"Infinite" was all what I would always hear them say.

"That's not my name. It's Zero. It's always been Zero, ever since the day I was born." I thought to myself as I was running down the hallway while the tears were flying away from my face.

As I kept running, I eventually tripped over my own feet and fell to the floor painfully.

Instead of getting back up and continuing on running, I just remained lying on the floor and started crying.

"Gadget...Please...Wake up soon. I need you more than anything right now." I whispered to myself as I looked at the bracelet that he gave me, before I kissed it in hope and for good luck.

After that, I suddenly heard footsteps approaching, heading over towards my direction.

I sighed a little before closing my eyes.

Then the footsteps came to a stop as I felt someone looking at me.

"Huh? Is that Infinite?" I heard them say before approaching me.

"Hey, are you okay?" They asked, helping me up to my feet.

I groaned a little, my head suddenly hurting, before I looked over to see who was asking and helping me up to my feet.

It was only Silver.

"You again..." I started. "Why are you helping and caring about me? Shouldn't you already be hating me for after all of what I've done?!"

Silver shook his head in response.

"No."

"What?"

"I said no."

"Why?"

"I have a reason to care about others and consider them as a friend since someone like you wanted to turn over a new leaf, no matter how bad their mistakes are." Silver answered as we began walking.

"Where are you taking me?" I asked.

"Back to the infirmary. You scraped your knee when you fell. It needs to be treated or it'll get infected."

After Silver explained that, I looked at the ground, not having anything else to ask or say since my mind went blank.

Everything was silent for a bit, as we were walking, until I spoke up.

"When am I gonna be interrogated?" I asked, wondering about that.

"Right after we get that scraped knee treated. Once the interrogation is over, Tails will take you over to your room before we decide on the results of what to do with you." Silver replies.

"Oh. Okay."

After I said that, we arrived at the infirmary.

As Silver led me over to a chair, I looked over at the bed where Gadget was lying there, still unconscious, before my gaze softened a little until I looked away when Silver came back with the medical supplies.
