WARNING: This is a sequel to my previous story: What I'm Made Of, go check that out to understand the full picture. 

WARNING 2: Many things here are based off of pre-release info and some speculation based on Infinite. By the time Sonic Forces comes out, many things here could be considered either OOT (out of character) or just plain wrong.

WARNING 3 (So many warnings wtf): Some minor Sonic Mania spoilers, mostly just stuff related to the true ending


Log Entry #001 
So uh, Tails asked me to start keeping some kind of log, mostly just so he could figure out what it's like for a living person to be a robot. Well, to go ahead and get that stuff out of the way, it's really weird. Like, it feels weird to not be able to breathe, or just not being able do other basic things like eat and sleep. I do technically sleep, but it's basically just Tails shutting me down for the night. Unlike sleep, from my perspective, shutting down at night, and then booting back up in the morning, is basically instantaneous. It's black for a few seconds, then bam, suddenly it's morning. I haven't left Tails' lab at all since I woke up here, in fact I haven't even met Sonic yet (other than our brief encounter at Eggman's lab). I'm actually kind of excited and nervous to even meet Sonic. Excited because Sonic has been my idol since I was a kid, and nervous because to him, I just look like Metal Sonic. Tails did say that he's been trying to explain the situation to Sonic, so that's kind of relieving. Tails also said that he's almost done decoding all the encrypted things in my files, though from what I've gathered, Tails hasn't figured out that I'm from another dimension where they're just video games characters. Anyways, I'll end this entry off here before it gets too long, see ya!

"Alright, just put a couple things here, some lines of code there and it should work" Tails said, typing away at his computer, trying to get rid of the last of the encrypted stuff, so he could access the rest of my files. According to the clock on the wall it was well past midnight, and normally by now, Tails would've gotten tired, shut me down, and gone to bed, but apparently he was on to something.

"Alright, it worked!" Tails exclaimed, leaning back into his chair. "Did you get through the encryption" I asked, leaning over to look at the two tailed fox. "Yeah, now I just got to figure out what's in there" Tails said, letting out a loud yawn. "You should probably get some sleep first, you look terrible" I said. "Yeah, you're probably right" Tails said, walking over to me. "Ready to shut down for the night" He said. "Not like I have anything better to do" I replied. "Alright then, good night" Tails said.

My eyes flickered open, as I was powered back on. Tails was standing in front of me, and looking at the clock, it was about 9:30. "Morning Tails, sleep well last night" I asked. "Like a rock" He said. "That's good, so ready for a day of file searching" I asked.  "Yeah, by they way, I have a special guest coming over" Tails said. "Special Guest" I asked, confused by what Tails meant. Right as I said that, there was a quick knock on the door. "Come in" Tails said, walking towards the door.

The door flew open, as I was greeted by my childhood idol, the blue blur himself, Sonic the Hedgehog.

"Yo Tails, haven't seen ya in awhile" Sonic said, fist bumping Tails. "Sorry about that, been working on file decoding for the last week" Tails said, giving a quick glance towards me. Sonic walked towards me, and stared at me, like he was trying to study me or something. "Doesn't look too different from the other ones" Sonic said, tapping his foot on the ground. "Trust me, this one is different, I've had conversations with him, this one is way too nice to be one of Eggman's robots" Tails said, booting up his computer. Sonic stared at me some more, like he was waiting for me to say something.

"Well, aren't ya gonna say something" Sonic said, clearly impatient. "N-Nice t-to m-meet you" I said, nervously. It was nerve-wracking to be standing face to face with your childhood hero, if I had a heart right now, it'd definitely be beating out of my chest right now. "You sound nervous, something wrong" Sonic said, backing away a bit. "I wouldn't be surprised that he's nervous, considering you're last encounter" Tails said. "Makes sense, so Tails, got everything ready" Sonic asked, turning towards Tails. "Yeah, ready to begin" Tails asked. I gave a nervous nod, while Sonic gave a thumbs up. "Alright lets begin" Tails said.

It didn't take Tails long to find something, specifically a large folder filled with videos, each one with a date on it. Tails clicked on the most recent, and it was a full video from my perspective for all of yesterday. From the moment Tails restarted me in the morning, to the moment Tails shut me down at night. Tails clicked through a couple more, until he landed on the one dated 9/10/17, the last date where I was human. It opened with me opening my eyes after sleeping, and laying in my bed. "Oh my god, these are my memories" I said, standing up, walking over to the computer.

"Hold on what" Sonic said, looking very confused. "I guess I should explain, I'm actually from another dimension, I'm actually a human" I said, as the I scrolled the video over to me brushing my teeth that morning. "Wait then how did you get here then" Sonic asked. "I don't know, I was sleeping when Eggman brought me over, though I do remember saying something about Chaos Emeralds" I said. "Makes sense, explains why I found this in his trashed lab" Sonic said, pulling out a chaos emerald from seemingly nowhere.

"There's something I should explain, in my dimension, you guys are just video game characters, or at least that's what I can assume" I said. "That's impossible, if we're game characters, then how come I'm standing right here, as real as I can be" Sonic said, giving me a suspicious look. I took the mouse from Tails and skipped around my day until I found the part of the day where I was playing Sonic Heroes.

"Oh my god, I remember that happening, how is this possible" Sonic said. "And was my voice really that annoying back then" Tails asked. 

"This is probably a little much for you take in, but trust me, that's why I was nervous when talking to Sonic earlier, it's because I was face to face with my childhood idol" I said, looking at the blue hedgehog. "Wait, me? Your childhood idol?" Sonic said, blushing a little. "Yeah, you were my hero when you were little, your games were basically the reason I love video games" I said. "Whoa, that a little much to take in, I think I need to sit down" Sonic said, taking a seat on Tails' couch. 

"By the way, I just remembered I forgot to ask you what your real name was, it'd be a bit rude to just call you Metal Sonic" Tails said. "Oh yeah, probably should've brought that up" I said. Sonic groaned.

"Well then, my names Benjamin, but you can just call me Ben" I said.

Log Entry #002 
It was weird watching through some of my memories. It's like watching one long vlog, but without any editing at all. Anyways, I was finally able to leave Tails' Lab today, and look around his house, and outside a little. Well, Tails lives in the Mystic Ruins, just like in Sonic Adventure, and Sonic does not own a house, he just sleeps where ever he wants, and occasionally crashes at Tails' Place. Also, it feels weird moving around like this. My steps have a lot of weight to them, so I feel like I'm carrying around weights tied to my legs. I'll probably get used to it eventually, but for now that's one hurdle I have to get over. I also learned from Sonic that he hasn't seen or heard anything from Eggman since they found me, which is kinda worrying but I don't want to stress too much from that. I seriously hope I don't have to see Eggman ever again.

**************
Sam was walking down the street, late at night, humming to himself. It was a quiet September evening, and he was walking around town to get some fresh air, to escape all the stress from his recent life. It was nice and relaxing, and after a bit Sam decided to head home. There was one problem though, Sam was lost. Apparently he hadn't been paying attention and was lost in the city.

"Damn it, why'd I have to get lost now of all times" Sam said, hopelessly wandering the streets, hoping to find anything familiar. It was late at night, so Sam couldn't really go inside a store and ask for help. Sam took out his phone, to see if he could text someone to pick him up, but unfortunately, his phone was dead.

"Today's just my lucky day, huh" Sam said.

Right as Sam said that, a bright appeared directly in front of him, causing him to shield his eyes. "What the hell" Sam said, backing away. Suddenly, something shot out of the portal, and grabbed Sam. "What the hell is happening" Sam said, before being pulled straight towards the light.

Sam was momentarily blinded by the bright light, but when his vision returned, he was no longer in the streets of the city, but in some kind of dark room.

"Welcome" A voice said, over some kind of speaker. "W-Where am I" Sam said, freaked out. "That doesn't matter, what does matter, is that you're about to become my test subject for my latest experiment" The voice said. Sam noticed that in the center of the room, there was some kind of redish gem lying on a table. "W-What is that" Sam asked, absolutely terrified at this point. "It's the Phantom Ruby, it's a gem I found on Angel Island recently, that contains huge amounts of power with it, so I want to test how it reacts to the human body" The voice explained. "And you're testing it on me" Sam asked, scared of the answer he would get. "Exactly" The voice said.

Sam wanted to protest, but felt some kind of mechanical arms push him towards the Phantom Ruby, until he was standing right next to it. Despite knowing that he really shouldn't touch the Ruby, he still held out his hand, and touched it. Immediately Sam felt a burning sensation at his hand, and quickly took it off. Sam looked at his hand and noticed a large black spot on it. "Aw great, it burned my hand" Sam said. However, Sam started to feel a weird energy spread across his body, as he noticed the black mark grow across his hand.

"What the hell" Sam said, confused.

The black continued to cover his hand, with his fingers growing slightly larger, longer, and seemed a bit sharper. Sam looked at his hand, feeling a strange power coarse through it. Sam then noticed the same things happening to his other hand. The blackness from his hands then spread over to his arms, turning them a pitch black color, while they grew slightly longer, and thinner, with the same power casing through them.

The changes then spread to under Sam's shirt. Sam took his shirt off so he could view the changes better. The darkness quickly consumed his entire chest and stomach, as he felt himself get considerably shorter. He also noticed some silver markings forming on the sides of his body and going towards his back. Sam grunted a little, as he felt something painfully pull itself out from behind him. Sam turned his head around and noticed that he now had a large black tail, with a frayed white tip to it.

Sam felt the changes move down to his legs, quickly being consumed by the darkness, becoming shorter in the process. Meanwhile, Sam started to feel his shoes change as the changes reached there. The became much larger, and metallic, with the tip of the shoe becoming pointed, while his feet changed to fit his new footwear.

While this was happening Sam felt weird sensations go through his head. For some reason, Sam was starting to like these changes. They felt good, they gave him power, he didn't want to be a puny human, he wanted power, he wanted to be Infinite.

The changes quickly jumped their way up to Sam's face. Before Sam could really tell what was going on with his face, he felt something clamp down it. It was a silver mask that covered most of his face except for one eye. Sam started pulling on his mask, trying to get it off, but it was stuck. Unknown to Sam at the time, while he was trying to get the mask off his face, his face was shifting to fit with the mask. His face was pulling out, becoming more animal like, while his eyes expanded to match the size of the hole on the mask. His ears, also moved up to the top of his head, and become much larger to match the holes on his mask. Lastly, his hair extended outwards from the back of his mask, forming about 6 flowing spine-like columns of hair, that quickly brightened to a bright white color, ending the transformation.

Sam stood there in a daze, trying to figure out what happened. His mind was in a mess trying to fight off these conflicting thoughts. However, Sam could not stop staring at the Phantom Ruby. What once seemed threatening and ominous, now seemed welcome and opening, like it was calling out for Sam. Sam reached out slowly to the Ruby, and slowly touched it.

The Ruby immediately glowed extremely bright, and flew straight into Sam's chest, releasing all of it's energy into Sam. Sam felt himself growing much more powerful by the second, his thoughts becoming unified with the Phantom Ruby, he liked this, he never wanted to be human, he like the power. Sam felt tons of new information flow into his brain about the Ruby and it's mystical properties, it was like he had known about it his entire life. Sam's human memories quickly began to fade into darkness, not disappearing entirely, just becoming a hazy mess, like a whisper in the back of his mind. A new Identity began to form within him, the identity of the Phantom Ruby quickly overtook the former human, he was the crystal. He had power. He had everything.

He was Infinite.

Log Entry #003 
It's been a week since a week since I last updated this Log, wow I need to get on that. Anyways, I've had a pretty busy week. Despite hearing absolutely nothing from Eggman, Sonic is still trying to train just in case Eggman shows up. I found it a little pointless at first, but I've warmed up to it. At first we just worked on my speed, and later speed control (my first training session I lost control of my speed and almost ran head first into a mountain, luckily I was able to stop before crashing), and now I consistently control my speed and move extremely fast. I now know first hand what it's like to go as fast as Sonic, and it's amazing. Right now I'm working on some Metal Sonic specific things like that electrical barrier charge attack he uses in the Stardust Speedway Boss Fight in Sonic CD. In our down time, I usually talk about what my world was like. I even had to talk to Sonic about his fanbase (I explained the obsessive and creepy side as Amy but probably a million times worse). In the meantime, Tails has been looking through the rest of my files to try and find anything useful that could turn me back to normal or help them defeat Eggman. He's found a couple of blueprints hidden in there, but not much else that could be of use. Sometimes however, I catch him sneaking peaks at some of my memories, I think he's interested in how our world works. Anyways, I have to cut it off here, gotta go do a bit more training with Sonic. See ya!

"Whew, that was a good race" I said, sitting down on a rock in the Mystic Ruins. "Yeah, you almost got me that time, though I was going easy on ya of course" Sonic said. "Of course you were" I replied.

Sonic and I decided to race each other today, to see how well my training had come along. Sonic won of course, but I was able to pull off some pretty neat stuff. "So, what do you want to do now" I asked, getting up off the rock. "Well, I might stop by Tails' place and get some Chili Dogs, but I know you can't eat so I don't really want to tease you like that" Sonic said. "It's fine, I'm used to it" I said.

"Sonic, Ben, can you hear me" Tails said, through a direct voice chat connected to me. "We can hear ya loud and clear, buddy" Sonic said. "I just got some kind of distress signal from a nearby village, you might want to check that out" Tails said. "Where is it" I asked. "I'll send the coordinates to you, but I'm kind of worried, the message is unfinished, like they were cut off suddenly" Tails replied. "That's concerning, you got the coordinates" Sonic said. "Yep, let's get going" I said, looking at the coordinates that had appeared in the upper right hand of my vision. "Alright then, here, we, GO" Sonic said, blasting off, with me following shortly behind.

A couple minutes later, Sonic and I arrived at the village, and stopped to look around. The town itself, looked deserted. No one was in the streets and it was all eerily silent. "It's quiet, too quiet" I said. "I agree, lets get to the bottom of this" Sonic replied. We continued to explore the village, until we reached the town square, where we figured out what happened.

In the town square, were the villagers, except they were completely frozen in time.

Some of them were frozen in mid conversation, and some of them looked like they were running away in terror. "This is creepy" I said. "Yeah, just what the heck happened here" Sonic replied.

We continued to look around until we made it to the mayor's building. We walked inside, where we saw other villagers, frozen in mid-step, like they were running from something. There were even some papers frozen in the air. We walked into the mayor's office, where we found him sitting in his chair, with some kind of microphone in his hand, his face frozen in pure terror. "This must've been how he contacted Tails" Sonic said, looking at the microphone.

Suddenly, I heard a faint buzzing noise, and noticed something just out of the corner of my eye, someone was there who wasn't there before. "LOOK OUT" I yelled, before tackling Sonic to the floor. Suddenly something shot over the two of us, and hit the wall directly behind us, leaving a giant gaping hole in the wall. 

I turned around to look at our attacker, and saw some weird black creature, with a silver mask and red aura floating in mid-air. "Hmm, seems like you were able to dodge my attack" It said, in a calm deep voice. "And just who are you" Sonic asked, getting up from off the ground.

"I am Infinite"

TO BE CONTINUED (EVENTUALLY)

Here I come, with my longest story ever written to date. At a whopping 3283 words (according MS Word), the only story that has even come close to this is Chapter 3 of Transformation Tales: Reset and Rebirth (which I think was only just a little over 3k). Anyways, this story was so much fun to write, I really hope you guys will enjoy this, since I put so much effort into it. Hope ya enjoyed, and see ya next time.
