History Fanfic / MemoriesOfInfinitesPast

The fanfic's writing used to be very horrible and cringey, with blatant grammar errors over the place. The author has rewrote the story to fix the grammar errors, reformat the written-as-prose script, and add more details to some events.

For failing to defeat the Resistance, Infinite learns that Eggman was using him only as an UnwittingPawn just to beat Sonic and then is trashed. The Rookie later finds Infinite in the dump and, after being uncertain for a while, [[SympathyForTheDevil sympathies with]] and rescues him, just when he falls asleep and tells his backstory.

'''Memories of Infinite's past''' is a ''VideoGame/SonicTheHedgehog'' [[ScriptFic Script]] PseudocanonicalFic that serves as (mostly) a {{Prequel}} to ''VideoGame/SonicForces'' and tells what might have been a possible {{Backstory}} for Infinite, the game's BigBad.

* VillainousBreakdown: [[spoiler:In Chapter 15, Clyde's attempts to execute the Resistance is suddenly interrupted by the Eggmans, Hyper Sonic and Hyper Zero. He then gets curb-stomped by the two heroes and learns of his forces getting overwhelmed. This causes him to snap and try to ''destroy the universe''.]]
-->'''Clyde:''' How... How could it... end like this?! Me... ''Me?!'' Beaten... like this? No... No, it can't be... No! I... I am the strongest! Me... ME! My dream! My army... ''destroyed!'' I won't stand for this... I '''won't!''' ''I WON'T STAND FOR THIS!'' I don't care what happens to my body... ''and I don't need this army anymore!'' '''I'm going to use everything I've got!''' I'm going to destroy that hedgehog and his friends and then... '''''I'M GOING TO DESTROY THIS UNIVERSE!'''''

** Stryker was once a terrorist soldier working for MIAGG and now leads a CapterCrew.

---> '''Chester''': The flowers started to speak to me, and they said-

* FurryDenial: Despite the cast being FunnyAnimals, they still call each other "men".

* AwesomeMcCoolName: Radar, Ace, and Scar are cool enough. Stryker is the coolest.

* BiggerBad: [[spoiler:Axel, who reappears and attempts to kill Zero]]

** Creator/NolanNorth: Brawn
** Creator/SteveBlum: Clyde

* DeadpanSnarker: Brawn in Zero's first training session:
--> '''Brawn:''' ''(writing)'' Yes. Because currently compared to me and the other guys [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything you have the physical strength of a women.]]
--> '''Zero:''' I think I just added another person on my hate list!

--> '''Clyde:''' His wife, Ellie the jackal, [[DeathByChildbirth passed away by bringing you into this world]]. He hated you for the death of his beloved, [[GenerationXerox just]] [[NotSoDifferent like]] you hate Shadow for the death of your squad. When I tracked him down, I thought that you might be related to him because you two share a resemblance to each other. After I showed him that wanted poster, he told me that you're his son, and he joined me for one last time so he can get the chance to kill you [[{{Revenge}} out of vengence]]. You fused with the Phantom Ruby — not only to get stronger, but to destroy Shadow for the same reason. Am I wrong? It's quite tragic to see the ones you love die in front of you. Especially, when they died from your foolish mistakes. You killed your mother when you were born, but it was Axel's decision to have children in the first place. Shadow killed your squad, but you were the one who got them involved with Eggman to begin with. Are you sure that Shadow killed them out of cold-blood or [[KillingInSelfDefense did he do it out of self-defense?]] Are you certain that they all didn't attempt to murder him when they first saw him? After all, Eggman did ordered them to destroy any intruder who enters his facility, did he not? You're just as guilty of their demise as he is. And Infinite's birth was no one to blame but yourself. [[ThisIsUnforgivable Do you really believe that becoming a hero can help you redeem yourself from the lives you took?]] The jackal squad wanted to build their own empire, right? That's quite an interesting motive. I say it would've took them 10 more years for it to happen. But at least they would've lived to get the chance to see it come true. I wonder how Stryker would feel about you now. Wouldn't he have wanted you to take care of the squad as the new Ultimate Mercenary? Do you think that he would've wanted you to join Eggman for power? And after what Infinite's done, do you really have any right to think I'm a Scumbag?
