Alright here's the second chapter. This should fill in the cliffhanger from the first chapter.
Shadow put his hands on his head and gritted his teeth, and collapsed to his knees.
"Shadow!" Sonic and Silver both yelled in unison.
They rushed over to him.
"No. No stay away from me!" Shadow said.
He started pulling on his ears really hard, ripping part of his left ear off. That piece was now in his hand.
"Shit!" Sonic looked over at Silver.
"We caused this!" Silver said.
They knew what was going on. He was coming out. Psychotic Shadow. His left eye, not just the iris, started to fade into a deep black. His fingernails sharpened, their tips stretching out, but not ripping his gloves at all. He looked at Sonic and Silver.
"Get out of here!" He begged.
"But Shadow!"
"Just run!"
Sonic grabbed Silver's wrist and ran for the door. A black cut started to form across Shadow's right cheek. A long, jagged, black line ran down his chest fur as well. He had his hands balled up against his head, amounts of fur in their grasp. Even the design of his gloves and shoes changed. His fur started standing on end, and his left back spine snapped off. He lost his last amount of sanity as a wide grin, lined with sharp teeth, stretched across his face. Shadow no longer had control of himself. Psychotic Shadow did. He started laughing uncontrollably.
"Where did those two go?" He flashed out of the house.
Sonic and Silver were still running.
"Do you think we're far enough?" Silver asked.
"I think so," Sonic answered.
They both stopped, panting and catching their breath. The house wasn't even seeable anymore.
"We caused this. We have to tell him we're sorry when we get him back to his normal self," Silver said.
"Agreed," Sonic said.
They started walking, but didn't get very far.
"There you are."
They froze. Neither of them wanted to turn and face Psychotic Shadow. But Sonic knew he was the only one capable of bringing Shadow back. By covering those black marks. He turned slowly to face Psychotic Shadow.
"Hello you psychotic bastard. Long time, no see," Sonic said calmly.
Psychotic Shadow grinned.
"You're completely calm about this. I should make you scream. It'll pleasure me longer," Psychotic Shadow said.
He lunged at Sonic. Sonic just barely jumped in time to miss getting hit. Psychotic Shadow pivoted and sprung at him. Sonic didn't dodge quickly enough and became pinned against a tree. Psychotic Shadow laughed and reared his head towards Silver.
"You're next," he said.
Silver swallowed. Psychotic Shadow looked back at Sonic and moved his hand up to Sonic's neck. He started pressing down on Sonic's windpipe, choking him. Sonic started desperately clawing at Psychotic Shadow's hand, struggling to get out of his grip. Sonic's vision started to blur. His eyes panned over Psychotic Shadow's face, over that black mark.
Wait! That was it! Sonic looked over at Silver. Silver got the memo in an instant. He slowly and quietly picked up a garbage can with his phychokinesis. He aimed carefully and threw it right at Psychotic Shadow's face. It made a loud smack when it hit Psychotic Shadow's face. He let go of Sonic and quickly turned towards Silver, a deep growl emitting from the back of his throat. Sonic latched onto his back. He started crawling up towards his neck so he could reach one of those blacks marks.
'Almost there,' Sonic thought.
He made it. Psychotic Shadow was grabbing at him. Sonic got on his shoulders and positioned his hand. He quickly placed it on Psychotic Shadow's right cheek. The mark vanished. He jumped off of Psychotic Shadow's back. Psychotic Shadow stumbled, becoming partially vulnerable from the missing cut.
"One more and you're down!" Sonic said.
Sonic tackled him and they started rolling down an incline. Silver watched as they tumbled down.
"Oh god Sonic please don't get hurt..." he said to himself.
They reached flat ground. Psychotic Shadow was under Sonic. Sonic quickly put both of his hands on the longer black mark on Psychotic Shadow's chest. Psychotic Shadow's body became in encased in a bright red light. Sonic got up off the ground and watched as the dark entity helplessly tried to fight going back where he belonged. He started to disappear into an ash like flurry. He was gone until the next accidental go around. Where Psychotic Shadow had disappeared was replaced by Shadow's unconscious body lying on the ground.
"He's back...Sonic you did it!" Silver said.
"He's unconscious. Let's get back to the house," Sonic said.
"Agreed. Let's try not to have an argue the rest of the month," Silver said.
Sonic nodded and picked Shadow up off the ground. He looked at Silver.
"Let's make it a promise to Shadow," Sonic said. "To not argue every month."
"It's a promise,"
