Sonic X Reader: Behind the Scenes (A Sonic Forces Fanfiction)

Chapter 3

Alarms started to blare in the aircraft. You jumped rigidly and looked around quickly, the cabin was glowing with a bright red light. Sonic jerked awake and fell to the floor, looking around.

"Eh?! What's going on?" He jumped to his feet, before holding his head, "Ugh... It's him..."

You looked at him, tilting your head. He growled and looked up, his eyes meeting yours.

"It's that guy, the one that... Beat me.." He huffed, crossing his arms, "He must be close."

"Close is right." You jumped again as Knuckles spoke into your ear. Sonic glanced at you.

"Knuckles? What's going on?"

"Silver ran into the villain on his way back to the base. He needs help, so I'm sending your aircraft to his location. We can't lose another member of the team."

"The Masked Villain..." You mumbled, your ears lowering.

Sonic tilted his head, "You know him?"

You shook your head, hugging your arms. He stared at you, before patting your shoulder,

"Don't worry, I'll stop him from hurting anyone else, okay? You can stay here where it's safe." Offering you a smile, he ran to the back of the craft as it opened.

You watched him jump out, disappearing into the green forest and ruins, a blue blur zipping through the trees. You sighed and rubbed your head, before jumping out and following him. There was no way you were going to just back out, not when you were a part of the Resistance.

However you stopped running when you came into a clearing, just in time to see Sonic deflect the Masked Villain's attack on Silver. The light-grey hedgehog lay unconscious, if the evil one had got to him, he would have definitely been killed.

Sonic landed in front of the other hedgehog, who groaned, slowly coming to.

"Time to tag out Silver! I've got it from here!" The blue hedgehog glanced back at him, smiling.

"Well... Look who's back from the dead. The little blue saviour." The Masked Villain stared down at him, fixing up his mask, "But what's that I smell? You reek of fear... Glad to see I left an impression."

The blue hedgehog frowned, before lifting his arm and imitated smelling himself, "That's not fear. I ran all the way over here."

You couldn't help but giggle at his quirkiness, even staring at the one that had defeated him once before, he was able to crack a joke. Even though he hadn't ran here, he still stunk, you guessed they didn't bathe him when they had him captive.

Gross.

You looked up as he continued talking,

"And you haven't left an impression. I don't know anything about you! Not even your name."

The floating villain seemed to think, "You may call me Infinite in the brief moments that remain to you..."

"Great! See Infinite, now we're getting to know each other!" The blue hedgehog snickered, before he started pacing, "So, what's your favourite colour? Do you like long, romantic walks on the beach? What's the source of your power? You can skip the first two if you like."

You giggled more, how was he able to joke in front of such a serious foe? It was actually entertaining, even Silver was smirking when he stood next to the blue hedgehog, a slight limp in his step. 'Infinite' didn't seem amused in the slightest, just staring at the two hedgehogs.

"The source of my power is none of your concern..." He removed his hands from his chest, where a bright red and purple gem glowed brightly.

It reminded you of another person, someone you had seen before in movies and comic books, what was that character's name... He had a light energy for his own power source and fought in a red and gold armoured suit.
