Infinite's Pov:
"Great job, Infinite. Now, there really won't be anyone to stop us now!" Dr.Eggman complimented as he gave me a pat on the back. "What is that supposed to mean?" I asked, confused. "Well, first of all, you did bring in that rookie to the dark side. She's such a massive help. Second of all, you managed to capture a member of the resistance. And now, he's no longer with us." Dr.Eggman explained, before laughing maniacally. "Wait, say that again. What happened to that member?" I asked, trying to hide the nervousness in my voice. What did they do to him? "Oh, after you threw the wolf rookie into the cell. We made our members torture him for those days that he was here as we did to Sonic! The rookie couldn't handle it and just passed away." Dr.Eggman explained, smirking as he walked away. I was left alone in the room once the door shut behind him. "Wait...he was here for over a year now. Is that why they never let me get near him?" I mumbled, nervously. No, they didn't do that to him. No, they couldn't! They can't! I run toward the window of the room and look down to see our rookie talking with the citizens. Doing her usual routine and asking if anyone needs to be 'fixed'. I wait impatiently as she finishes up her performance and flys toward our base. Once I hear her footsteps coming from the hallways, I immediately run toward the door and open them. Only to be greeted by her smirking face. "Oh hello, Infinite. What can I do for you?" She asked in that giggly voice. "What happened to that wolf rookie we took in? You never told me." I asked. "You mean, that Gadget the Wolf rookie?" She questioned.

I nodded quickly and I could hear a low giggle come out of her mouth. "Ah, him. He was so much fun to fix but, he couldn't handle it. Ended up escaping and jumping off this base." She explained, crossing her arms and continuing to giggle. Those giggles soon turned to laughs. I felt my heart stop. I felt so pale, nauseous, and sad. No, he's alive. He has to be. "Is that so? Why wasn't I invited to the party?" I asked, trying to hide all those emotions. "I'm not sure. Although, the guards say you probably would control their every move. They didn't want you to ruin the party." She responded.

"How disappointing. I would have loved to see this all godown. Tch, such a shame." I spoke, looking down. "Aw, well, if you don't mind. I would like to take you to where he is." She replied as a way to make it up for me. "Really? Well then, lead the way!" I replied, chuckling softly. Yet, I knew that chuckle was fake. Everything I said was fake. I just needed to see Gadget once more. One last time even! One last time.

She took my hand and we both flew out from the base. "So, this is the spot where he jumped from. Which means..." She mumbled, pointing to an edge. We both fly down from that spot and my eyes widen as we reach the ground. I see Gadget laying there with blood coming out from the back of his head. He looks like a rag doll with his body positioned that way. His eyes were still open. His face was stained with his tears. Just seeing this almost made me want to throw up. I resist the urge to cry right then and there.

"What a pretty sight, huh? Want me to leave you alone so you can imagine what happened or throw the body around?" She spoke. I looked at her and nodded my head slowly. She giggled once again before flying toward the base and most likely giving a report to Eggman. I remove the mask from my face as I stare down at Gadget's corpse. I fall down onto my knees with my mask beside me and his left hand in my grasp. I feel no pulse. No movement. Nothing. He is...gone. Dead. Not coming back.

"Gadget...I'm so sorry, I let this happened," I mumbled, tears coming down my face. "I never intended this to happen. I thought we could make it out together." I continued, my voice growing more broken. I remembered what happened that day. SNT asked me to grab him and I did. I looked at him with a smile once I put Gadget in the cell. He explained the plan of staying here for a month or so. He explained about me planning a sneak attack. Knocking out every guard and helping SNT remove herself from the Phantom Ruby. Of returning everything back to normal.

Yet, that never happened. Because I was so occupied. He was getting so busy being tortured for a year that he forgot about it. And now, here we are. I just wish all of this was a bad dream right now. One where Gadget would wake me up with a kiss and tell that everything is okay. "Oh, Gadget. I'm sorry...I really am. I wish that you never died. I wish that you were alive and we could do all those things that we secretly planned together." I whispered, chuckling a bit. I could still remember them.

We started to date during the middle of the war. We started to imagine our future together. The resistance would win the war and I would be captured. Gadget would offer to take care of me and soon, we would confess our love for one another to the world. We would get married and maybe raise a family! But now, those things are in the past. I really wish they weren't. "Gadget, I'm gonna miss you so much. I wish you were here with me. Because I want to marry you. I want to raise a family with you. I want to love you once more." I mumbled, grasping onto his hand a little harder.

Yet, nothing happened.
