Chapter 1

In Metropolis Capital City, "Rookie listen up, the soldiers are not holding up in the area. Eggman's robots are all scatter by many protecting the energy source we need you to reach it and destroy it" said Knuckles. Gadget nod before going into the area it didn't seem much damage as Eggman was taken over it recently. He was alone in this mission, Sonic and the resistance were busy with other problems he knew he couldn't let them down not withe the trust he had been given and above all the courage Sonic had put into him.

Gadget used his flame gadget destroying all the robots in his way as he was getting cornered he used his whip to go through them. Gadget needed to get by them fast he couldn't let himself been spotted much. He used his grapeler and grab onto the building going up. "Rookie there has been a sighting of a strange energy you have to be careful it might be Infinite" warned Knuckles to Gadget. As he was being pulled closer to the building there was a unsettling presence. His heart stop for a moment as if all time was being pause at that exact moment. He eyes turning to meet with that one yellow eye that could only been seen beyond the mask. It was a sight between both that was chilling, Gadget loose the grapeler dropping to the ground as he was about to continue ahead he was stop right in his tracks. He took a few steps back from Infinite, he couldn't get his image out of his head even if he tried.

Gadget trembled sweating a bit at the memory of their first encounter occured. Infinite terrorizing and he and his friends were caught in the disaster. He had to watch his friends perish in the hands of this monster. Only to be spared and live with the regret and pain in him. "So you are the one who has been helping the blue hedgehog" said Infinite he clearly recognized the wolf, he remember the fear in his eyes. "Wasn't it enough with the perish of your old friends, you had to get involved" said Infinite as he had pulled the strings in Gadget. Gadget was shocked he remember him but he knew this was not a good thing. Infinite then was right beside him, Gadget's eyes widen as he flinch from the sound of his voice. "You don't belong here I can smell all the fear in you" hearing those words cause a chill in Gadget, "You will only end up witnessing the same tragedy, turn away and run like before and stop torturing yourself" Infinite said, Gadget relieved the memory once already, his tears becoming visible as he clench his fist and threw his punch at Infinite. Infinite grab his punch looking at the glare in his eyes a single tear slide down as he sob a bit. "Typical from a wanna be hero" he said as he punch Gadget making Gadget roll on the ground from the strong strike. He then got up but had drop his glasses. Gadget was so blind by his anger he just got up still trying to face Infinite but he couldn't see clearly before he was kicked in the guts making him fall back.

He felt a grab by the cheeks as he was lifted from his position, wounded a bit from the two strong hits. "Devour by your own fear and pain" he said looking into his eyes. Gadget lower his ears, he just waited for the worse. Infinite's other hand reach to his mask that had been covering his face. Gadget couldn't believe what he was seen, he was actually removing his mask. Gadget didn't knew why he was doing this why he would be so foolish to do so. Gadget then came face to face with a blue and yellow eye of the jackal. Infinite got his face closer, Gadget saw his eyes slowly closing, before he was even able to make a sound their lips brush against each other into a warm kiss. Gadget blink his ears perking, wondering what was happening he never felt so confused. "Mmm" Gadget used his last strength to push Infinite away from him.

Infinite saw his confused as he pulled away from his kiss. Gadget continue to back away when his foot hit his glasses he looked over and pick them up placing them back on. As he quickly did that Infinite was in front of of him once again. Gadget was a bit startled having him close up once again he already had his mask back on. "Meet me inside the center I know you are looking for the power source and don't tell a thing to your friends about this it can be dangerous" he said grabbing his chin. "Rookie? Rookie are you alright?" Knuckles tried to contact him, Infinite let go of his chin before leaving. Gadget reach to his lips feeling them for a moment. "Rookie why aren't you answering?" Knuckles ask, Gadget grab the communicator looking at it wanting to answer the call but couldn't bring himself to do so because of Infinite.

Gadget had went ahead to the powersource heading inside the white building. He looked around as he walked inside, keeping his guard up. At this point he question if he was doing the right thing with keeping it quiet but he couldn't allow his friends to get involve not when had already lost so much. Gadget sigh closing his eyes for a moment before he could hear the strange sound, "You came alone after all" said Infinite, Gadget turned around as it seemed he just arrived and nod slightly. "It's nice to know you follow orders as it is" he said placing his hand on his cheek, Gadget move his head away from his hand rejecting it. "You are still bitter by what I did" he said, Gadget just keep his gaze away he didn't wanted to look at him. "I don't require your respect I just want your obedience" Infinite grab his arm, Gadget perk his ears looking at him when he place a pink ring on his hand. "I have been in a similar place you have been before, but I can make it better" said Infinite, Gadget saw the ring it was the ring one of his friends owned, he had it. "I can return everything you loved" he said creating a illusion of his friends, "All you have to do is cancel the mission and give me your affection in return" he whisper into his ear. Gadget gasp looking at him, "I am not only asking for a kiss, I want a romance" said Infinite seriously, Gadget shook his head in disbelief. "You might think this is all absurd but between enemies there are attractions~" he said as his hand caress Gadget's cheek slightly. Gadget hold tightly to the ring he hand, "Choose me or your mission" he said making Gadget face him. Gadget had place the ring in one of his pockets before he slowly reach to his mask. Gadget was a little unsure at first, but he grab the mask on his face. Infinite allowing it as he close his eyes letting him decide. Gadget had remove his mask revealing his face to him once more. Gadget looked at his face closely one more time. He close his eyes getting his muzzle close to Infinites. Just one kiss to seal the deal, their lips so close they could feel each others warm breath. Gadget's cheeks had a pink coloring as he did this holding tightly to the others mask. "Buddy?" A voice came through the communicator, Gadget stop in that instant so close to kissing Infinite as he looked down at the communicator. "Buddy I know you are there, it's me Sonic look I know this is tough but you can't give up remember what we talked before?" Sonic ask, Gadget remember the blue hedgehog's words in his head. Infinite open his eyes looking at Gadget, Gadget looked up at Infinite and just gave him his mask back shaking his head.

Infinite glared placing his mask back on, "You have chosen" he said as he used the ruby on his chest to disappear. Gadget went to the powersource destroying it before leaving back to the base.
