*It had taken Classic and I a couple of hours searching every location Tails gave us...but we had finally found where Crimson was taken. We watch through a window in the roof as Crimson is smacked and slashed, the badniks trying to gain information into the resistance for Infinite's army, but the hedgehog stays resolute, mentally unbreakable to the subatomic level*

*A deep rage fills me as I watch the torture, to see someone i care about getting hurt while i can do something I CAN DO SOMETHING THIS TIME!!!!*

*I move to smash the glass and engage in a fight, but Classic grabs my arm, a serious look on his face this time*

((BROTHER MIA FINALE TIME!!!!! This is {hopefully} going to be an action packed ending to the search for Crimson {and hopefully no body is mad at me lol} so lets get riiiiiight into iiiiiit!!!))

*Classic and I look down at the destroyed Proto Metal, tension gripping us both, Crimson has most likely become a Prisoner of War and I have no idea of how to track him down now*

"Shit...SHIT!!!" *I curse and kick the defeated robot* "Com'on!!!! COM'ON!!!!" *I scream, tears flowing from my non bionic eye as i collapse to my knees, I feel defeated, with no other clues...it's hopeless...*

*HOPEless...*

*hope...*

*I look back at Classic, the way he hasn't been able to give up, even after everything thrown at us...*

"H-How...How do you still...cling to hope despite everything...when the world can't stop KICKING you DOWN!!!! How do you still stand..." *I ask, plead, with Classic for an answer*

"The blood leads ta here, but...still no sign of Crimson..." *I comment as I look around*

*Now my mind runs with ideas of what could've happened...but my imagination thankfully fails me*

"Look around Classic...see if you can find proof of life...or a...a corpse..." *I say heavily*

*I keep thinking back to Crimson, how he told me to leave, but dammit...I keep wishing I didn't...*

*Classic stands next to me, a smug confident look on his face as per usual, his yellow and purple arm a stark contrast to his blue body*

"Damn...Crimson where the hell are ya?"

*We slide into the large crater created by explosions and war, the corpse of a G.U.N agent still laying there, a bleak reminder of the cost of war*

*I was grateful, even if the..."Cabbage man" told me he only did it because Infinite is a threat and I have proven useful...I didn't care, I was ALIVE thanks to him...and Crimson...*

*A new wave of guilt runs cold over me, I left him, he told me to...but it doesn't change anything...and he hasn't been back...dammit...*

*I stand up, pain surges through me but I don't care- I CAN'T care...I left behind a friend...a BROTHER...*

*I make my way to the exit, I have to go look for him...to make sure he's safe...but before I can reach the door a member of the resistance stops me, stun gun in hand ready to incapacitate me...*

"Awe hell..." *I say, knowing I'm gonna have to talk my way outta this one*

*Badniks....So many badniks....so many of Infinite's Forces....Carrying this survivor....has a toll....*

*A explosion goes off, gunfire is heard as I hold a very thin line, a survivor of the ARK's destruction lays behind me badly injured, barley clinging to life while the corpse of a G.U.N soldier lays next to him*

"Hold on we're gonna get outta this!!!!" *I say, which sound more like a lie, the pain from the metal in my left side makes me feel like passing out, but I persist*

*I look back and keep firing but a shot rings out and i feel a pain in my hand*

"AGH!!!" *I clutch my hand, now missing its trigger finger*

*My breathing grows ragged, panic and fear clinging to me, but i hold it off and look at the survivor* "I'm getting you outta this...I am..."

*I grab the pistol with my left bionic hand* "Alright you bastards!!! If I'm going down YOU'RE COMING WITH ME!!!! Doesn't matter what you do we will fight for our freedoms, our families! WE ARE THE ONES WHO WILL WIN, NOT. YOU!!!!"

*I poke up, gun in hand, and fire, round after round, putting badniks and robots down, I scream as I drop more enemies...until the gun clicks empty*

"Shit..." *I curse as the metallic army approaches, all I can hope now....is that I made my family proud...*

((Since the ARK got destroyed I have to make a new ending to ACT 2 of my character arc DX))

*I push a hunk of metal off of me, groaning and burned, broken metal surrounds me, singed and still burning*

"Fuck, what the hell..." *I ask as I grab at my side, a sharp pain shooting through me, I look down and see a large shard of metal stabbed through my side* "Sh...Shit" *I groan, I need medical assistance...but before I can leave the scene I see another survivor trapped under rubble, needing help!!*

*Scars cover my body, a reminder of all the death I have brought upon the multiverse, water runs cold over me, a near freezing point, but I ignore the temperature*

*My breathing gets heavier as flashes of loved ones, friends lost, my home....enter my mind*

*I slam my bionic fist into the wall in anger and pain, then repeat, and again...and again*

*A scream, of anger, anguish, fear, hurt, pain, so much PAIN!!!!*

*When I look back at the wall a massive dent had been formed, the water now freezing my spine*

*I shut the water off and wrap a towel around my waist for modesty, a black towel with the Eggman Empire insignia embroidered into it*

*Suddenly I find that a white hedgehog had been waiting for me*

((ACT 2 ENDING LETS GOOOOOO, this second Act was crazy, I wasn't expecting to throw my character into this war but dammit if it doesn't work perfectly well, thanks to those who have been on the journey so far and I cant wait to do some wrapping up in ACT 3!!!))

*I walk past refugees and soldiers preparing for war, bruises and blood cover some, but not all, I even pass by Crimson and give him a quick nod*

"Hey Silver, I got somethin' fer ya"

"Nearly got shredded in my last encounter with infinite's forces so I need more protection, long as it can withstand a hit I'll take it"

"What the hell happened here?" *I ask looking at the changed empire, its new look sending a shiver down any spine daring to look at it*

"Is...anyone injured?" *my second question arises, a fear entering my voice, I know I should just let this universe rot, just move on, its what i have done thousands, if not millions of times before, but something stops me, the thought of Crimson, and others like him trying to make it through...*

"Fine, I'm going!"

(Act 2 starts NOW previously a new Mercenary named Jared appeared, hired to hunt down Sonic, but when he had the chance to capture the blue hog by threatening his best friend, he let the two go)

"What the hell...something has to be wrong with me..." *I say as I teleport away to find some answers*

{In Eggman's base...} "What the hell...why....why did I..."
