I had it all… the world on my shoulders, the fear of my enemies, the strength to rival that of even the Ultimate Lifeform who made me who I was. I desired power above all else so I could prove everyone… especially HIM wrong… but I didn't account for the fact that I wanted to be the most powerful so obsessively that in the end, I failed to realize the cost…The defeat by the hands of those pests known as the Resistance was humiliating as Doctor had not accounted for his only real weapon failing on him, the very weapon I possessed before it was swiftly taken from me to fuel his machine. I loathe the fact I let a moronic genius like him prematurely end a battle I had craved since the day I possessed the Phantom Ruby… it was almost as he didn’t realize I was the sole reason his little “Empire” was even able to conquer the world itself, yet despite that oversight I reveled in the fact he had failed yet again… but that satisfaction only lasted so long as I began being bound and muzzled by the likes of the resistance.I was called many things as I was led to my trial: Monster, Terrorist, War Criminal, Pathetic, Unforgivable. The crowd of civilians booed at me, mocked me and yet despite my anger brewing and my attempts to resist I remained bound and motionless as all I could hear was the overwhelming malice towards me etched itself into my mind. The trial was no better as my attempts to speak were met with silence as I had a mouth yet I could not speak. I was nothing more than humiliated by everyone as the resistance decided my fate and kept me guessing. Imprisonment? Hardly a good idea. Unending labor? I wasn't worthy to rebuild what I destroyed. Death? I wish…. That was the only thing I wished for at this point as it began to dawn on me that what I have done was not what I desired. The lives I wanted to instill fear into were now dead, perished by my hand alone… their blood was on my hands and there was no way for me to scrub them clean. All I desired was execution to atone for my sins as my absolution would only be met if I had finally seen the end of a rifle.....…but The Blue Savoir had other plans, I only wish it wasn't an eternal imprisonment within Null Space. I felt chills as the Black Hedgehog opened that portal miraculously and without the use of his cursed gems as if he understood what I was capable of from the start. Was he trying to mock me yet again?! The audacity!!!! Still… the fear I wanted to embed in others had found its way into me as I was tilted towards the edge of reality, between what existed and non existence itself. I could hear nothing but the pulse of my heart as I began to feel my given punishment was far worse than any punishment they could give, that I would prefer. The Ultimate Lifeform stared at me as he teetered me between the portal and the only footing there was with the very boot he wore as he leaned in closer to utter the very last words I ever heard for however long I was imprisoned:“Let this be a lesson to you, Infinite. No matter how much power you have, how much fear you bring or how many lives you take…you will always be one thing in my eyes… Pathetic.”
It was at that moment, he stepped off and I fell backwards, screaming a scream that could never be heard from my ensnared mouth as I started floating through the endless void of the only place that had become my Prison… Null Space.
I could do nothing but see the consequences of my actions and hear the sounds of screams for however long I was kept captive, with the only company I had being the mask I wore on my unsightly face, attached to my side and flowing in nothingness with me, taunting me with every glance I gave it. Is this what's to become of Zero the Jackal? To be tormented by the souls of the innocents whose lives I cut short and to bear witness to my crimes against the world I had put into decay and war? Is this really what it took to be…INFINITE?!
