Infinite was given an ambiguous fate so that he could be brought back for the next game if the fans want him to return. We probably haven't seen the end of the phantom ruby just yet, Eggman implied he created these phantom rubies himself through experiments, no reason to suspect he won't try to create more. Also Infinite probably flew away because he was recalled back to base by Eggman who then took the ruby for himself to power his mech.

The Real Mystery is will Sega keep giving us good plot driven games like Forces, or are we destined to go back to the Boom Era & get some Generations Knockoff Game for 2021?
