A small chuckle came from the Jackal mouth before it turn into laughing, his other hand clutching the right sight of his mask with Gadget legs giving out as he fell to the ground slowly catching his breath.

"I-I d-did I-it...I can't believe I did it...w-why did I do that...WHY"

He slam his fist into the ground screaming like angry with tears running down his face. Gadget puts both of his hands on the back of his head, face burying into the metal plating and he starts sobbing.

"Why WHY...WHY DID I DO THAT...I can't believe I did that why why WHY WHY, damn you voice in the head...WHY DID YOU MAKE ME DO THAT"

"..."

No reply was given to Gadget as his sobbing continue. What was going to happen to him now, if the others find out what he did, he would be in major trouble.

"Would they even understand, Would they even understand anything, my life is over AGH WHY DID I MAKE THAT CHOICE"

That thought haunted him, if the Resistance found out about it they would surely hunt him down. He sniffs abit as his sobbing stop and he looks over at Infinite who stop laughing then turn to look at Gadget while taking his hand off his mask still clutching his chest.

"I gotta say kid...I'm impressed, never thought you were that cold-hearted to blast Sonic in the back even while gaining his trust in the resistance" Infinite said appearing to compliment Gadget choice.

Some more sniffles came from Gadget as he takes off his Glasses and wipes the tears away trying not to cry again as he got up to his feet.

"P-Please don't tell anyone about this...please Infinite...I-I, they wouldn't understand...why I did it...what I've been through in my life..."

He nodded his head in response to what the red wolf was mentioning and puts a sharp black and silver gloved hand on Gadget shoulder.

"Not a word"

Gadget sniffs again and puts his glasses back on.

"Thank you"

The Jackal simply nodded his head in response still hearing the Egg fleet still engaging the Resistance fleet up in the sky while Gadget picked up his 'Burst' Wispon weapon putting it back in his holster as his ears suddenly perked up at hearing something coming closer.

Even Infinite heard it too and looks up too see a hover machine slowly hover down to them and in it was a human with a mustache and glasses.

It was Dr. Eggman.

"Well I Certainly wasn't expecting this part of the outcome...this is mostly surprising"

Gadget put his hand on the holster of his Burst weapon, ready to attack Eggman but Infinite shook his head at the red wolf to get him to stand down before looking over at Eggman.

"As I said six months ago, he's proven he can be trusted Doctor" Infinite said to Doctor Eggman while looking at Gadget who still had his hand on his Holster before looking back at Eggman.

Dr. Eggman twirls his mustache a little while looking at the two Mobians but mostly at Gadget.

He certainly was surprised that red wolf would have the guts to finish Sonic off, he never could no matter how hard he tried, no matter what machines or robots he would build, Sonic would always find away to defeat him and foil his plans again and again and again.

"This time it's different, Sonic trust got the better of him and it cost him in the end, very impressive and surprising, he may be Useful after all"

He looks back at Infinite

"Of course Infinite, you were right all alone, maybe he can join the Empire after all" Eggman said while grinning abit.

Gadget ears flatten abit at hearing that while taking his hand off the holster. Him joining forces with Eggman and Infinite, if he did that he certainly would be a public enemy to the entire planet.

"Not to mention the Resistance and the G.U.N would come after me...G.U.N..." he thought to himself while closing his eyes for a moment before opening them back up as he took a deep breath and lets it out.

"What choice do I have now from what i did to Sonic, if I go back to the Resistance by myself, they will think I survive and Sonic was killed by Infinite or Eggman but...I'm sure they would probably investigate Sonic death after the war is over and if I join Infinite and Eggman they might keep an eye on me to make sure I don't turn Traitor"

He took another deep breath and lets out again.

"I have no other choice now" Gadget thought to himself looking up at Dr. Eggman

"I-I'll j-join your empire Doctor Eggman"

He received a surprised look from Eggman, it must've not cross the doctors mind yet to make him that offer but the doctor surprised look change to a smirking grin.

"Well that was easy, excellent today Victory will surely be mine at the end of the day, with that blue nuisance finally out of my way, I can focus on wiping out the rest of Sonic friends and the Resistance then it's onto the next part of my plan for world Domination" Eggman gloated

Infinite sighs to himself while he clears his throat.

"Yes well, Infinite take that red wolf to the underground bunker and bring him to the Main Computer, wait for my arrival I won't be long, the moment of triumph awaits my victory " Eggman laughed as the Egg Mobile launch into the canyons below of the fortress.

Gadget looks at Infinite who watches Eggman fly away before turning to the wolf pup.

"Well, lets go young one" Infinite said grabbing Gadget arm as he hovers in the air with the red wolf panicking abit while he holds onto Infinite arm and the two head straight down into the bowels of the Canyon.
