", "writing": "\".....I-it's....h-him...it's r-really him....\" Sonic uttered, his heart pounding in his chest as he fought to keep his heavy head up, \"---he's...h-here...\". \nSuddenly, a strike of pain went through his chest that took his breath, made his pupils shrink to tiny specks, and rattled his mind like an earthquake. It was like his heart was going to explode! Everything in front of him was slowly bathed in a black veil while the growing pounding in his head made it impossible to process what was happening to him. \nHe struggled and writhed in his pitiful state until he was brought back into the dark void of his subconscious. \n\n\"--N-NO! NOT HERE!!! PL-PLEASE!!!! L-LET ME GO BACK!!! H-HE NEEDS ME!\" \n\n*Who needs you?* the familiar voice resounded, standing behind the broken hero with more clarity than ever before. \n\nWhen Sonic first heard this voice months ago, it was just an echo calling from the farthest reaches of his mind, it had no form whatsoever, but it's presence was always felt as it encouraged him to persevere at times when desperation was overwhelming. \n\nDespite the haziness of his recent memory, he recalled it had a sort of ghostly frame during the last time he encountered it, which it used to drive away the corrupted phantoms that tormented Sonic's mind and shielded him from their reach. \n\nBut now, it was like looking in the mirror. The voice had a solid appearance that looked identical to Sonic in almost every way...at least, in the way he looked before. \nFrom its overall healthy physique free of wounds, bruises, and scars to its crisp quills finely shaped in their signature style. This was the Sonic he used to be, and seeing it as he once was hurt him more than he could bear. \n\n*Well? Are you going to answer or should we play 20 questions?* the voice stated while leaning down, trying to look the blue hedgehog in the eye, only for him to consistently turn away as shame, sadness, and loss overtook him. *Mmmm...this is going to be harder than I thought,* the voice continued, *I mean, I really believed you were getting there, breaking free of his control....but now...I'm not so sure you can.*\n\nSonic studied his own body, riddled with marks that will forever be a part of him even after they heal. As the anxiety took over, he clenched his knees to his chest, his lower lip quivering in unison to the tears rolling down his cheeks, \".....I'm n-not you any-m-more....y-you sh-shouldn't be h-here....\"\n\n*Hmm? Where else would I be? Or how about you for that matter? You said \"he\" needs you---*\n\n\"I WAS WRONG!!!!\" Sonic sobbed loudly as he interrupted, \"--I-I'M T-TOO BR-BROKEN...TOO G-GONE. N-NO ONE W-WOULD EVER W--WANT M-ME AGAIN!!! AND WH-WHY WOULD THEY?!?!\"\n\nThe voice squatted in front of him to eye-level. It knew what had happened and what needed to happen, but it wasn't the one in control, so it used its directness and choice of words to force the broken hero to take into account everything it said.\n*You think Shadow is fighting to the death for nothing? Sure, there's definitely a personal score to settle here, but you know as well as I that no grudge match would ever be more important to him than you.*\n\nWith a heavy sigh, it continued, *As for Infinite...you're so-called \"Master\"...you know what he's capable of first-hand and where you rank on his chart as far as what he values as important.\n\nSo instead of 20 questions, I guess there's really only one that I need to ask...who is more important to you?*\n\nWith that, the darkness faded and Sonic found himself back in the jungle, shrouded in the brush. \nHe heaved and gasped as his brain tried to make sense of it all, while looking once again at his scarred, trembling hands, covered in filth. The hands that held Shadow's so perfectly. The ones that served Infinite so willingly. He knew he was going to lose one of them, or both, and the thought of that twisted his insides. \n\nHe held his throbbing head, \"What sh-should I do?\" he questioned, swallowing hard as panic started to rise. He couldn't betray him, but he couldn't abandon him; he couldn't forsake him, but he couldn't trust him...\"WHICH HIM?!\" he cried as he punched the ground weakly. It hurt to think. He didn't want to think anymore. HE JUST WANTED IT ALL TO STOP! For Infinite and Shadow to go their separate ways and leave him behind. Even if he was alone, knowing they were each alive and well would make it easier. \n\nThen, a blood-curdling scream pierced his ears and sent a shrill down his spine. He quickly shuffled around to see Infinite had somehow managed to put Shadow's inhibitor rings back on him and was suspending his partner mid-air with a crimson spear of energy wedged in the side of his torso. Despite the injury, the black hedgehog refused to yield.\n\n\"There is no resisting me, rodent. The dance is over and to the victor goes the spoils...\" the jackal hummed. Shadow hocked a wad of spit at the metallic mask, hoping the momentary disgust would distract his foe long enough for the second he needed to slip off his rings again; however, the mercenary was steely as ice and instead took his act of subversion as warranting of punishment.\n\n\"Defiant to the core. How irritating,\" he growled while clenching his fists, causing more red cubes to appear, \"--still, regardless of how long it takes, my revenge will not be satisfied until you serve me as I desire...until then---\" The cubes began pressing against Shadow's body while the ones around his limbs began pulling in all directions, twisting and contorting their victim. Regardless of his strength, he couldn't resist their force nor contain his anguish while he was being mangled under the influence of the Phantom Ruby, \"GGGGAAAHHHHHAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!\" \n\n\"---I will enjoy breaking every bone in your body and shredding every fiber of your sanity again and again,\" the merciless mercenary mused as he hovered ever so closely to his agonizing prey, \"--you will beg for death, but I will be the only thing you live for.\"\n\nActing on instinct, Sonic screamed at the top of his lungs, \"--FINNY!!!--\". \n\nStumbling from the green drew the attention of the jackal, whom ceased torturing his foe in the interest of the third party. \n\"So you finally decided to join us...\" he stated as he glared over him, fascinated that he was no longer in the vegetative state that he left him in, \"I see you've regained your senses. This should make the game more interesting. I assume you've come to save your mate?\"\n\nSonic's eyes quivered as he tried to appear steadfast, but after stumbling to his knees, he once again failed to achieve his goal.\n\n\"HAHAHAHA!\" laughed the evil one as he read his pet like a book, \"You can barely stand and yet you foolishly believe you can face me?\" \n\nThe blue hedgehog immediately shook his head as his fingers dug into the dirt while he built up the courage to say what he intended as clearly as possible. His mind was reeling from the effects of the tranquilizer that only compiled the weakness his body was still suffering, but before him was the one he adored and he couldn't remain silent, he couldn't falter, \"I d-don't want to fight...I w-want to be with you, like the ole' days.\" \n\nBoth Shadow and Infinite were caught off-guard by his declaration, while the jackal appeared intrigued by his toy's earnest confession, \"Is that so?\" \nWas this jealousy the little blue savior was showing for Infinite's preoccupation with the Ultimate Life Form or was it some feeble attempt to rescue his partner? \nGlaring down into his gentle face, engraved with cuts and bruises, he saw sincerity shine behind those emerald eyes along with the obedience, dependence, and desire that the mercenary had instilled within him that dominated his existence. Sonic was his masterpiece, but the canine still sensed something amiss, \n\n\"Come here then,\" he commanded as he lowered himself to the ground.\n\nSonic forced himself to his feet and ambled across the uneven sand until he stood before his master, whom gripped his chin in his claws tightly enough for the hedgehog to wince while he was directed to look upward for them to see face to face, \"I trained you to never lie, but your actions are questionable, little one. You pledge your loyalty to me and yet you frolic with this vermin. Why should I trust your devotion?\"\n\nDuring a short pause, the broken hero remembered his conversation with his conscience before he glanced over to Shadow, his eyes becoming sadder by the second as the pained memories flooded in his distorted mind until he uttered with perfect articulation in the most melancholic tone, \"One hundred thirty-six\". \n\nThe words that followed were choked by emotions that he tried to suppress, but at this point, he couldn't control them anymore than anything else. The tears that welled up trickled down as he folded his arms to hold himself, hoping to not fall apart completely. The jackal and the black hedgehog listened intently as he sputtered out the defining moment of his captivity that justified his allegiance to the mercenary. \n\n\"I c-couldn't keep track of the days on the Death Egg...s-sitting in darkness---hurting---it was all a bl-blur....b-but when Eggman took me to the con-trol r-room, I saw the date. It took one hu-hundred and th-thirty-six days before I found out n-no one was coming...th-that those I lo-loved abandoned me. It hurt more th-than anything---the loneliness---n-no hope....it was worse than any a-amount of torture. ......bu-but...I w-wasn't alone, n-not entirely........Y-you were there. Y-you got m-me through it. Hel-helped me for-get. You were m-my hero.\"\n\nShock imprinted on Shadow's face at Sonic's admission. He quickly recalled the time his counterpart spoke of as the day Eggman was conquering the final metropolis and Knuckles called him from his search to the front lines alongside the remaining of the Resistance in order to stave off the attack. He remembered word for word what the echidna said that day as the words repulsively embedded themselves in his mind, \"He's not our priority.\" As much as it pained him to confirm, it was a fact at the time. However, if Sonic had somehow witnessed that conversation after going through months of unspeakable torment, it must have been like a hundred knives were stabbing him in the back!!! \nTHEY ABANDONED HIM! \nLEFT HIM TO THE DEVICES OF THE ENEMY!! \nFORSAKEN HIM TO THAT HELL!!! \nThe black hedgehog knew from experience the lasting affects betrayal carried, and the seed of regret he had been sowing within him for having failed to save Sonic before took even deeper roots into his soul.\n\n\"....I---I did this to him.....\" he mumbled so softly that no one else could hear. He shut his eyes, hating himself for his part in Sonic's deterioration. Realizing this, he now knew how the jackal was able to break him--how he claimed him. Sonic had no one else. \n\nInfinite moved his hand to the blue hedgehog's cheek, cupping it affectionately and wiping away the tears. Seeing the Ultimate Life Form visibly distraught by this revelation, the mercenary's sick mind decided to take this exchange further. It had been quite a while since the two of them had some quality time, and if his pet truly saw him in such a light, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.\n\n\"Your hero?\" he chuckled lightly before leaning in with a menacing growl, \"--Prove It--.\"\n\nIt took little effort to shove Sonic to his knees again as he towered above him, a position the blue blur was all too familiar with. \n\n\"Well?\" the jackal questioned poignantly.\n\nSubmissively, Sonic began nuzzling his master's crotch, licking the fur in long, smooth strokes until the wicked mercenary's equipment revealed itself. With closed eyes, he rubbed it against his muzzle lovingly, kissing its shaft and inhaling its musk before engulfing it with his lips, slurping and suckling the tip while taking it further in at a steady pace. Gentle moans escaped him as the large member found its way down his throat, the texture, the taste, and the smell all-consuming. His enthusiastic approach was like a ravenous animal feasting on a meal for the first time in ages. \"That's a good boy,\" Infinite hummed while petting Sonic's head.\n\nShadow was speechless. After Sonic's confession, he didn't know what he could possibly say to stop him! All he could do was wriggle in the holographic cubes suspending him, the sight he was forced to view and the sounds he couldn't ignore disgusted him beyond belief. After everything they had been through together combined with everything they mean to one another, it broke his heart witnessing his damaged partner doing this!\nHe couldn't erase his own guilt, but neither could he dismiss the progress Sonic was making during their escape. \nThe laughter they shared. The warm embraces. The remnants of his beloved that bubbled to the surface in the face of adversity. \nWas the sight of Infinite that intoxicating to him? Did he just lose him all over again or was this something else? \nSomewhere deep down, Shadow tried to convince himself that Sonic knew this wasn't right, and even if that weren't the case, if his partner was truly engulfed in that bastard's influence, there was no way he was going to let him go! \n\nFeeling the throbbing in his throat, the blue hedgehog picked up the pace, gasping and gagging as he forced himself to work harder than ever to please his master. Infinite could only laugh in-between harmonious grunts as he was voluntarily pleasured by the lover of his greatest enemy, who was powerlessly in his grasp. \n\nThe building ecstasy led to him grabbing his pet's head and holding it firmly against his torso while he expelled his serum into his mouth with a deep-throated groan.\n\"Delicious, isn't it? Go on, savor it\". \n\nSonic instinctively swallowed, drinking the treasure presented to him as he had done so many times before. Afterward, he caressed and licked the remains of the fluid off the cylinder until it was clean to satisfaction. \"You haven't lost your touch,\" quoted Infinite as he massaged the soft blue ear of his endearing servant. \nSeeing it was still hard, Sonic looked up to his master with longing eyes, \"M-May I?\" he asked sheepishly, like a starving child hungry for seconds. \n\nAnd like icing on the cake, the jackal couldn't refuse his pitiful wanting, \"Very well.\" \n\nHe levitated into the air in a seated position, low enough for the weakened hero to be able to climb on his lap as he made sure Shadow got the perfect view of what was to happen next. There was no stopping to prepare. Sonic had to prove himself and do so without delay. While holding onto his master's shoulders, he straddled into position and slowly pressed downward on the large member, his sore anus pulsing as it had yet to recover from the torture he endured earlier. Sweat began forming on his trembling body as he forced it to endure, gradually pushing down more and more until it was halfway inside of him before his reflexes forced him to lift up. Orbs of tears formed in his clenched eyes as he grimaced at the stinging sensations emanating from his swollen innards. \n\n\"I'm waiting,\" the jackal mused, his head resting on his hand as if he were leaning against an invisible table. \n\n\"S-Sorry,\" Sonic immediately replied before returning his focus to completing his task. \nFinding a rhythm, he began ascending and descending with the help of gravity and his own reaction to the pain, but he couldn't ignore the tantalizing stimulation of the warm cylinder massaging his prostate. With each motion, he was able to absorb more of the shaft, with the heat of the moment being the driving fuel for him to increase his momentum. Tentatively, he wrapped his arms around the jackal in an embrace, and although he refused to return the act, Infinite permitted his servant to indulge in the comfort of his presence. Meanwhile, he remained relaxed in a cavalier sitting, enjoying the show of Shadow's livid expression beside them. \n\n\"AH--HAH--AHHH!!\" Sonic moaned as the canine's knot began penetrating him, stretching him to the point the fissures within his anal cavity reopened and tore even wider. He started to slow his rhythm, waiting for the hurt to subside or at least lessen before continuing; however, the mercenary wasn't in a patient mood. \n\n\"You can do better than this,\" he scolded as he placed his hands on the hedgehog's hips to keep him going down all the way on each bounce, \"we wouldn't want to disappoint our audience\". The initial trembling Sonic experienced transformed into erratic spasms as the thrusts felt like they were tearing him apart! \n\n\"GAAHHHHAHAHAHHH----AHHHHGAAHHHH!!!\" \n\nHis moans grew louder into painful screeches as every movement was forcibly guided against his will. But still, he endured. He held onto the jackal tightly, wrapping his legs around his master's waist as he begged each second to pass by faster, for some sort of relief to appear. Through watering, squinted eyes, he glanced to Shadow, whom was focused on the epicenter of the coitus with a grim expression stretching across his brooding face.\nSonic cried, wailed, and moaned as the pain intensified beyond his withstanding! \n\n\"That's more like it. I'm glad to see I molded you well,\" Infinite mused as he continued to thrust, relishing in the clenching of Sonic's fingers into his back. Then, the moment came. The broken hero felt the welcomed pulsing of the jackhammer within him. The climax had been reached and the warmth of the fluid he had once craved flowed into him, seeping out slightly in creamy mixture of what looked like strawberry vanilla. \nThe moment felt so much longer than it actually was as the agonizing sensations very slowly ebbed n'sync with the lightening sky that shimmered on the skim of the ocean waves behind them. The scene was so warm, so placid, it almost looked romantic.\n\nPanting, Sonic could feel the knot wedged inside of him, irrevocably connecting him to the jackal. Adverting his gaze from Shadow's visage, he gently leaned back from his master to peer into his masked face, his glowing eye staring back without emotion. \nThe quietness remained for a brief time as it seemed like they were lost in each other's gaze, until in a short breath, the broken hero stuttered, \"I--lo-love you\". \n\nThe thick, stillness in the air that was occupied only by the sound of the tide and gentle sea breeze was accompanied by a mix of astonishment, awkwardness, sick delight, and meek sadness by all parties present, all of which was cut incredibly short. After taking one final glimpse to his side, this time locking eyes with Shadow, Sonic responded to his conscience's question and grasped both hands on the Phantom Ruby. \n", "writing_bbcode_parsed": "".....I-it's....h-him...it's r-really him...." Sonic uttered, his heart pounding in his chest as he fought to keep his heavy head up, "---he's...h-here...".
Suddenly, a strike of pain went through his chest that took his breath, made his pupils shrink to tiny specks, and rattled his mind like an earthquake. It was like his heart was going to explode! Everything in front of him was slowly bathed in a black veil while the growing pounding in his head made it impossible to process what was happening to him.
He struggled and writhed in his pitiful state until he was brought back into the dark void of his subconscious.

"--N-NO! NOT HERE!!! PL-PLEASE!!!! L-LET ME GO BACK!!! H-HE NEEDS ME!"

*Who needs you?* the familiar voice resounded, standing behind the broken hero with more clarity than ever before.

When Sonic first heard this voice months ago, it was just an echo calling from the farthest reaches of his mind, it had no form whatsoever, but it's presence was always felt as it encouraged him to persevere at times when desperation was overwhelming.

Despite the haziness of his recent memory, he recalled it had a sort of ghostly frame during the last time he encountered it, which it used to drive away the corrupted phantoms that tormented Sonic's mind and shielded him from their reach.

But now, it was like looking in the mirror. The voice had a solid appearance that looked identical to Sonic in almost every way...at least, in the way he looked before.
From its overall healthy physique free of wounds, bruises, and scars to its crisp quills finely shaped in their signature style. This was the Sonic he used to be, and seeing it as he once was hurt him more than he could bear.

*Well? Are you going to answer or should we play 20 questions?* the voice stated while leaning down, trying to look the blue hedgehog in the eye, only for him to consistently turn away as shame, sadness, and loss overtook him. *Mmmm...this is going to be harder than I thought,* the voice continued, *I mean, I really believed you were getting there, breaking free of his control....but now...I'm not so sure you can.*

Sonic studied his own body, riddled with marks that will forever be a part of him even after they heal. As the anxiety took over, he clenched his knees to his chest, his lower lip quivering in unison to the tears rolling down his cheeks, ".....I'm n-not you any-m-more....y-you sh-shouldn't be h-here...."

*Hmm? Where else would I be? Or how about you for that matter? You said "he" needs you---*

"I WAS WRONG!!!!" Sonic sobbed loudly as he interrupted, "--I-I'M T-TOO BR-BROKEN...TOO G-GONE. N-NO ONE W-WOULD EVER W--WANT M-ME AGAIN!!! AND WH-WHY WOULD THEY?!?!"

The voice squatted in front of him to eye-level. It knew what had happened and what needed to happen, but it wasn't the one in control, so it used its directness and choice of words to force the broken hero to take into account everything it said.
*You think Shadow is fighting to the death for nothing? Sure, there's definitely a personal score to settle here, but you know as well as I that no grudge match would ever be more important to him than you.*

With a heavy sigh, it continued, *As for Infinite...you're so-called "Master"...you know what he's capable of first-hand and where you rank on his chart as far as what he values as important.

So instead of 20 questions, I guess there's really only one that I need to ask...who is more important to you?*

With that, the darkness faded and Sonic found himself back in the jungle, shrouded in the brush.
He heaved and gasped as his brain tried to make sense of it all, while looking once again at his scarred, trembling hands, covered in filth. The hands that held Shadow's so perfectly. The ones that served Infinite so willingly. He knew he was going to lose one of them, or both, and the thought of that twisted his insides.

He held his throbbing head, "What sh-should I do?" he questioned, swallowing hard as panic started to rise. He couldn't betray him, but he couldn't abandon him; he couldn't forsake him, but he couldn't trust him..."WHICH HIM?!" he cried as he punched the ground weakly. It hurt to think. He didn't want to think anymore. HE JUST WANTED IT ALL TO STOP! For Infinite and Shadow to go their separate ways and leave him behind. Even if he was alone, knowing they were each alive and well would make it easier.

Then, a blood-curdling scream pierced his ears and sent a shrill down his spine. He quickly shuffled around to see Infinite had somehow managed to put Shadow's inhibitor rings back on him and was suspending his partner mid-air with a crimson spear of energy wedged in the side of his torso. Despite the injury, the black hedgehog refused to yield.

"There is no resisting me, rodent. The dance is over and to the victor goes the spoils..." the jackal hummed. Shadow hocked a wad of spit at the metallic mask, hoping the momentary disgust would distract his foe long enough for the second he needed to slip off his rings again; however, the mercenary was steely as ice and instead took his act of subversion as warranting of punishment.

"Defiant to the core. How irritating," he growled while clenching his fists, causing more red cubes to appear, "--still, regardless of how long it takes, my revenge will not be satisfied until you serve me as I desire...until then---" The cubes began pressing against Shadow's body while the ones around his limbs began pulling in all directions, twisting and contorting their victim. Regardless of his strength, he couldn't resist their force nor contain his anguish while he was being mangled under the influence of the Phantom Ruby, "GGGGAAAHHHHHAAAAAGGGHHHH!!!"

"---I will enjoy breaking every bone in your body and shredding every fiber of your sanity again and again," the merciless mercenary mused as he hovered ever so closely to his agonizing prey, "--you will beg for death, but I will be the only thing you live for."

Acting on instinct, Sonic screamed at the top of his lungs, "--FINNY!!!--".

Stumbling from the green drew the attention of the jackal, whom ceased torturing his foe in the interest of the third party.
"So you finally decided to join us..." he stated as he glared over him, fascinated that he was no longer in the vegetative state that he left him in, "I see you've regained your senses. This should make the game more interesting. I assume you've come to save your mate?"

Sonic's eyes quivered as he tried to appear steadfast, but after stumbling to his knees, he once again failed to achieve his goal.

"HAHAHAHA!" laughed the evil one as he read his pet like a book, "You can barely stand and yet you foolishly believe you can face me?"

The blue hedgehog immediately shook his head as his fingers dug into the dirt while he built up the courage to say what he intended as clearly as possible. His mind was reeling from the effects of the tranquilizer that only compiled the weakness his body was still suffering, but before him was the one he adored and he couldn't remain silent, he couldn't falter, "I d-don't want to fight...I w-want to be with you, like the ole' days."

Both Shadow and Infinite were caught off-guard by his declaration, while the jackal appeared intrigued by his toy's earnest confession, "Is that so?"
Was this jealousy the little blue savior was showing for Infinite's preoccupation with the Ultimate Life Form or was it some feeble attempt to rescue his partner?
Glaring down into his gentle face, engraved with cuts and bruises, he saw sincerity shine behind those emerald eyes along with the obedience, dependence, and desire that the mercenary had instilled within him that dominated his existence. Sonic was his masterpiece, but the canine still sensed something amiss,

"Come here then," he commanded as he lowered himself to the ground.

Sonic forced himself to his feet and ambled across the uneven sand until he stood before his master, whom gripped his chin in his claws tightly enough for the hedgehog to wince while he was directed to look upward for them to see face to face, "I trained you to never lie, but your actions are questionable, little one. You pledge your loyalty to me and yet you frolic with this vermin. Why should I trust your devotion?"

During a short pause, the broken hero remembered his conversation with his conscience before he glanced over to Shadow, his eyes becoming sadder by the second as the pained memories flooded in his distorted mind until he uttered with perfect articulation in the most melancholic tone, "One hundred thirty-six".

The words that followed were choked by emotions that he tried to suppress, but at this point, he couldn't control them anymore than anything else. The tears that welled up trickled down as he folded his arms to hold himself, hoping to not fall apart completely. The jackal and the black hedgehog listened intently as he sputtered out the defining moment of his captivity that justified his allegiance to the mercenary.

"I c-couldn't keep track of the days on the Death Egg...s-sitting in darkness---hurting---it was all a bl-blur....b-but when Eggman took me to the con-trol r-room, I saw the date. It took one hu-hundred and th-thirty-six days before I found out n-no one was coming...th-that those I lo-loved abandoned me. It hurt more th-than anything---the loneliness---n-no hope....it was worse than any a-amount of torture. ......bu-but...I w-wasn't alone, n-not entirely........Y-you were there. Y-you got m-me through it. Hel-helped me for-get. You were m-my hero."

Shock imprinted on Shadow's face at Sonic's admission. He quickly recalled the time his counterpart spoke of as the day Eggman was conquering the final metropolis and Knuckles called him from his search to the front lines alongside the remaining of the Resistance in order to stave off the attack. He remembered word for word what the echidna said that day as the words repulsively embedded themselves in his mind, "He's not our priority." As much as it pained him to confirm, it was a fact at the time. However, if Sonic had somehow witnessed that conversation after going through months of unspeakable torment, it must have been like a hundred knives were stabbing him in the back!!!
THEY ABANDONED HIM!
LEFT HIM TO THE DEVICES OF THE ENEMY!!
FORSAKEN HIM TO THAT HELL!!!
The black hedgehog knew from experience the lasting affects betrayal carried, and the seed of regret he had been sowing within him for having failed to save Sonic before took even deeper roots into his soul.

"....I---I did this to him....." he mumbled so softly that no one else could hear. He shut his eyes, hating himself for his part in Sonic's deterioration. Realizing this, he now knew how the jackal was able to break him--how he claimed him. Sonic had no one else.

Infinite moved his hand to the blue hedgehog's cheek, cupping it affectionately and wiping away the tears. Seeing the Ultimate Life Form visibly distraught by this revelation, the mercenary's sick mind decided to take this exchange further. It had been quite a while since the two of them had some quality time, and if his pet truly saw him in such a light, it was an opportunity he couldn't pass up.

"Your hero?" he chuckled lightly before leaning in with a menacing growl, "--Prove It--."

It took little effort to shove Sonic to his knees again as he towered above him, a position the blue blur was all too familiar with.

"Well?" the jackal questioned poignantly.

Submissively, Sonic began nuzzling his master's crotch, licking the fur in long, smooth strokes until the wicked mercenary's equipment revealed itself. With closed eyes, he rubbed it against his muzzle lovingly, kissing its shaft and inhaling its musk before engulfing it with his lips, slurping and suckling the tip while taking it further in at a steady pace. Gentle moans escaped him as the large member found its way down his throat, the texture, the taste, and the smell all-consuming. His enthusiastic approach was like a ravenous animal feasting on a meal for the first time in ages. "That's a good boy," Infinite hummed while petting Sonic's head.

Shadow was speechless. After Sonic's confession, he didn't know what he could possibly say to stop him! All he could do was wriggle in the holographic cubes suspending him, the sight he was forced to view and the sounds he couldn't ignore disgusted him beyond belief. After everything they had been through together combined with everything they mean to one another, it broke his heart witnessing his damaged partner doing this!
He couldn't erase his own guilt, but neither could he dismiss the progress Sonic was making during their escape.
The laughter they shared. The warm embraces. The remnants of his beloved that bubbled to the surface in the face of adversity.
Was the sight of Infinite that intoxicating to him? Did he just lose him all over again or was this something else?
Somewhere deep down, Shadow tried to convince himself that Sonic knew this wasn't right, and even if that weren't the case, if his partner was truly engulfed in that bastard's influence, there was no way he was going to let him go!

Feeling the throbbing in his throat, the blue hedgehog picked up the pace, gasping and gagging as he forced himself to work harder than ever to please his master. Infinite could only laugh in-between harmonious grunts as he was voluntarily pleasured by the lover of his greatest enemy, who was powerlessly in his grasp.

The building ecstasy led to him grabbing his pet's head and holding it firmly against his torso while he expelled his serum into his mouth with a deep-throated groan.
"Delicious, isn't it? Go on, savor it".

Sonic instinctively swallowed, drinking the treasure presented to him as he had done so many times before. Afterward, he caressed and licked the remains of the fluid off the cylinder until it was clean to satisfaction. "You haven't lost your touch," quoted Infinite as he massaged the soft blue ear of his endearing servant.
Seeing it was still hard, Sonic looked up to his master with longing eyes, "M-May I?" he asked sheepishly, like a starving child hungry for seconds.

And like icing on the cake, the jackal couldn't refuse his pitiful wanting, "Very well."

He levitated into the air in a seated position, low enough for the weakened hero to be able to climb on his lap as he made sure Shadow got the perfect view of what was to happen next. There was no stopping to prepare. Sonic had to prove himself and do so without delay. While holding onto his master's shoulders, he straddled into position and slowly pressed downward on the large member, his sore anus pulsing as it had yet to recover from the torture he endured earlier. Sweat began forming on his trembling body as he forced it to endure, gradually pushing down more and more until it was halfway inside of him before his reflexes forced him to lift up. Orbs of tears formed in his clenched eyes as he grimaced at the stinging sensations emanating from his swollen innards.

"I'm waiting," the jackal mused, his head resting on his hand as if he were leaning against an invisible table.

"S-Sorry," Sonic immediately replied before returning his focus to completing his task.
Finding a rhythm, he began ascending and descending with the help of gravity and his own reaction to the pain, but he couldn't ignore the tantalizing stimulation of the warm cylinder massaging his prostate. With each motion, he was able to absorb more of the shaft, with the heat of the moment being the driving fuel for him to increase his momentum. Tentatively, he wrapped his arms around the jackal in an embrace, and although he refused to return the act, Infinite permitted his servant to indulge in the comfort of his presence. Meanwhile, he remained relaxed in a cavalier sitting, enjoying the show of Shadow's livid expression beside them.

"AH--HAH--AHHH!!" Sonic moaned as the canine's knot began penetrating him, stretching him to the point the fissures within his anal cavity reopened and tore even wider. He started to slow his rhythm, waiting for the hurt to subside or at least lessen before continuing; however, the mercenary wasn't in a patient mood.

"You can do better than this," he scolded as he placed his hands on the hedgehog's hips to keep him going down all the way on each bounce, "we wouldn't want to disappoint our audience". The initial trembling Sonic experienced transformed into erratic spasms as the thrusts felt like they were tearing him apart!

"GAAHHHHAHAHAHHH----AHHHHGAAHHHH!!!"

His moans grew louder into painful screeches as every movement was forcibly guided against his will. But still, he endured. He held onto the jackal tightly, wrapping his legs around his master's waist as he begged each second to pass by faster, for some sort of relief to appear. Through watering, squinted eyes, he glanced to Shadow, whom was focused on the epicenter of the coitus with a grim expression stretching across his brooding face.
Sonic cried, wailed, and moaned as the pain intensified beyond his withstanding!

"That's more like it. I'm glad to see I molded you well," Infinite mused as he continued to thrust, relishing in the clenching of Sonic's fingers into his back. Then, the moment came. The broken hero felt the welcomed pulsing of the jackhammer within him. The climax had been reached and the warmth of the fluid he had once craved flowed into him, seeping out slightly in creamy mixture of what looked like strawberry vanilla.
The moment felt so much longer than it actually was as the agonizing sensations very slowly ebbed n'sync with the lightening sky that shimmered on the skim of the ocean waves behind them. The scene was so warm, so placid, it almost looked romantic.

Panting, Sonic could feel the knot wedged inside of him, irrevocably connecting him to the jackal. Adverting his gaze from Shadow's visage, he gently leaned back from his master to peer into his masked face, his glowing eye staring back without emotion.
The quietness remained for a brief time as it seemed like they were lost in each other's gaze, until in a short breath, the broken hero stuttered, "I--lo-love you".

The thick, stillness in the air that was occupied only by the sound of the tide and gentle sea breeze was accompanied by a mix of astonishment, awkwardness, sick delight, and meek sadness by all parties present, all of which was cut incredibly short. After taking one final glimpse to his side, this time locking eyes with Shadow, Sonic responded to his conscience's question and grasped both hands on the Phantom Ruby.
