Chapter 4:
"Whoever you are Mephiles, you attacked our friend. We can't let you hurt someone else" said Sonic.
"Damn right, there is only one thing we can do!" said shadow
"Kill you!" said shadow
"Capture you!" Said Sonic
Said both sonic and shadow at the same time.
"…Or we can talk about It later" said sonic
"Works for me" Agreed shadow.
"How cute, you think you can defeat me. You obviously don't know who you are up against!" said Mephiles.
"It doesn't matter, Shadow and Sonic the hedgehogs Together
are unbeatable!" Said Sonic full of confidence.
"Let's see then, the power of your team work." Said Mephiles before transforming into a crystalline, anthropomorphic hedgehog with no visible mouth, nose, or feet.
"What the hell!" said sonic surprised.
"Don't let him impress you" Said shadow taking his battle stance.
"Such foolishness... very well, let's see if you can entertain me." Said Mephiles while flying, and launched an energy beam on both the protagonists.
"MOVE!" yelled shadow, dodging Mephiles attack, and so did sonic.
Gaining his balance, Shadow started running to Mephiles. Jumped and tried to punch him, but Mephiles blocked his punch with his left hand.
At that moment Sonic used his Homing attack on Mephiles, Mephiles was gonna use his other hand to launch an energy beam on sonic but was stopped by shadow who kicked his right hand making him shoot the sealing and get hit by sonic's attack.
After being hit by the homing attack Mephiles fell down and so did shadow, while sonic landed on his two feet.
"You okay?" asked sonic.
"I've seen worst." Answered shadow.
"You fools will pay for this!" Said Mephiles.
Then he suddenly disappeared.
"Did he escape?" Asked sonic.
"No, he is still here, I know it" answered Shadow.
"But where… Shadow! Your shadow!" said sonic
"Yes I know I am shadow."
"NO i mean look at your shadow!"
He did, and he saw that his shadow looked just like Mephiles. Then the shadow started raising and enveloping Shadow.
"What the… I can't move" said shadow.
Mephiles took form again, and took shadow hostage.
"Do not try anything, Sonic the Hedgehog, if you move I will snap his neck" Said Mephiles.
Sonic froze in his place.
"Not so unbeatable know, are you?"
"Why do you even think that this Iblis thing is here anyway?" asked sonic trying to buy time.
"Me and Iblis are connected, I can feel that he is in this island, but I can't know where. But I will find him even If I have to destroy every single part of this island!"
"If that Iblis is so strong why you are looking for him?" asked sonic.
"This isn't your concern; you obviously know nothing about Iblis. You are no use to me."
"But shadow knows something!"
"Hmm…"
"That why you didn't kill him yet, you want him to tell you what he knows!"
"You are not as stupid as I thought, but I am not bluffing about killing him. He can make my quest faster, but he isn't indispensable."
"You should have captured me to force him to talk; you aren't as smart as you think"
"Oh if I could I would have, that might have shut you up. But it's more complicated than that. Anyway, prepare to die"
"Only one thing more"
"What is it?"
"A Boomerang thrown by a sow always hurt"
"A sow?"
At that moment, Mephiles got hit from behind by a boomerang. Making him lose his grip on shadow who kicked him in the stomach launching him on a wall.
"That means a female badger" said Shadow.
"You made use wait" said sonic to his friends.
"Sorry about that, this tomb is always as longue and annoying as ever" said tails.
"Are you guys hurt?" asked Amy.
"don't worry about them, these guys are tough." Said knuckles.
"Good kick Shadow, but the next one is mine, it's RAVANGENCE TIME!" said sticks.
