Summary
It's only been a handful of days since Infinite's life changed forever. His squad was murdered, his devotion to Dr. Eggman turned absolute, and an incredible source of power was implanted in his chest: the Phantom Ruby. And just as Infinite is adjusting to all of that, things change yet again.
A mundane exploration of Eggman's vast underground base suddenly becomes much more interesting when Infinite stumbles upon an isolated room. Inside lies a creature unlike anything Infinite has ever seen before. This being called Mephiles is powerful, mysterious, probably locked up for a reason, and... everything about him makes the jackal's heart go wild. Infinite needs him. He even gets the feeling that Mephiles might need him, too.

Summary
An alternate take on Sonic 06’s story, with several minor tweaks and a single major change: Blaze is completely removed. Silver is as isolated as ever in the future. So when Mephiles swings by to rope Silver into his great scheme… he’s oblivious to the sinister air his new “friend” carries with him. All Silver cares about is that he now has someone to talk to and touch. But all Mephiles cares about is… Well, he’s not sure anymore. The overwhelming affection from an equally broken person has steered his one-track mind right off course.
What does Mephiles want? What does Silver want? And when everything comes crashing down around them, do they even have a chance at fulfilling their desires… whatever they may be?

Summary
It’s one atrocious act after another. Mephiles lives in a mess of lies, schemes, and bloodlust. All the same, he claims he is not a violent person. The endless noise in his head keeps him perfectly blind to his actions. But… what happens when someone challenges him? What happens when that cacophony in his head is silenced by the foreign voice of reason?

Summary
After a particularly miserable day in his “normal” life, Mephiles returns to his apartment in a much gloomier state than usual. At least his dear Iblis is waiting in bed for him to cheer him up!
Well… the handmade stuffed replica of Iblis, that is. Mephiles lets himself get carried away with it.
Anything to bring some pleasure into his horribly lonely life.

Summary
The Scepter of Darkness becomes increasingly tighter every time Mephiles finds himself back in it. After being sealed away for a third time, the confines are now squeezing him. The darkness is alive, and it's taken the form of wispy tendrils. Curious tendrils, who are eager to explore all their captive's body can offer.
In other words, the Scepter of Darkness is very sentient and very freaky.

Summary
Mephiles goes to the doomed future to pay Iblis a visit, only to find out that his other half has concocted a "plan" of his own. Iblis believes they can combine their powers not through forming Solaris, but through having offspring. Mephiles is in disbelief... Also, is that even possible??
There's no way-!

Summary
Mephiles thought the Scepter of Darkness was miserable, but now it pales in comparison to being stuck in nonexistence. In the abyss, he's been reduced to nothing but a conscience. He'd give anything to have his body back... not that he has anything to give at all.
But fate isn't done with him. Maybe it'll grant his wish for its own amusement. -

Well, Shadow gets the bright idea to put him on a path to redemption; he goes to therapy! Surely he can be fixed. Surely Mephiles' mental state isn't worse than Shadow expected.

Summary
It wasn't supposed to go like this. Shadow was supposed to triumph over his opponents no matter what, yet at the end of the world, all he can do is think. Just lie on the floor and think, take in all the details of his mysterious foe... Maybe if he had paid closer attention sooner, things could've gone differently.
