Black Fire sat in the dungeons. The
light was dim and hardly anything could be seen. He sighed
and looked up. He hoped Shadow had gotten the cure injected.
He knew he would die here. He remembered the good times he
had with Shadow. The times when they were inseparable. The
swung open and Shadow stood in the doorway. He was an adult
again. Black Fire got up. Shadow walked up to him and put
his hand on his shoulder. "I couldn't leave you."
he said smiling. Black Fire nodded and Shadow took his hand.
They ran out of the prison. They skated through the
building. "Where's Mephiles?" Black Fire asked.
"He couldn't come."
Shadow said. "Why."
Black Fire said. Shadow hung his head. "He's dying."
He said with grief. Black Fire knew Mephiles. He couldn't
die! Not without a serious cause...
Shadow
looked up. The Commander stood in their way. They screached
to a halt. "Shadow! It's been a long time since I've
seen you in that form!" He said with suspicious joy.
"Why did you do it?" Shadow said.
"Why did
you pick me?Why not something else?" The Commander
laughed. "Your still wondering about that? Well I never
knew myself, but I wanted to do it!" Black
Fire filled with rage. "I'm sick of you!" he
yelled.
Shadow and the Commander looked his way. "I'm
sick of you trying to kill us! I hate you and I never want
to see you again!" Black Fire couldn't take GUN
anymore. Shadow knew about Black Fire's unstoppable rage, he
knew that nothing could calm him down once he was fired up.
Black Fire's hands started to burn with dark fire. The flame
grew larger. Shadow stepped aside. He turned to the now
terrified Commander."Commander, meet your death."
Black Fire ran toward the Commander, the fire reflecting in
his eyes. Just then, the Commander smiled and a bunch of GUN
soldiers poured out from random doors.
Black
Fire blasted them away with fire. they shot at him but he
jumped out of the way and attacked. He created fire whips
and lashed them about. They smacked soldiers out of the way.
Shadow got in on the action too. Just then, reinforcements
were called in. Not just any reinforcements but Sonic and
everyone else. Fire, bullets and other projectiles flew
around the room.
Sonic
blasted a full fledge of water at Shadow. He blocked it with
fire. Jet swooped down at him but he melted into darkness
and reappered a few feet away. Shadow blasted fire out
around him, Sonic and Jet were blasted back. Knuckles
interfered by blasting Shadow to the wall with an impressive
fire move. Sonic and Jet used this as and advantage. Sonic
froze Shadow to the wall but he melted the ice. Jet summoned
vines which held him down. Shadow burned that too. Sonic
waterbended a bunch of water in Shadow's face, blinding him
for a split second. In that second, Knuckles and Jet blasted
him with fire and wind.
Black
Fire had trouble of his own. Abyss, the Commander and Tails
were attacking him. Abyss blasted a full surge of water at
him while the Commander shot at him and Tails would
electrocute him. Black Fire attacked back in rage but never
really got them. Tails zapped him and Black Fire finnaly
whipped out and grabbed his neck. He cracked his trachea and
tossed him to the side. Abyss tried to get to Tails but
Black Fire whipped him with fire, burning him. The Commander
shot Black Fire in the shoulder, missing for his head. Black
Fire whipped around toward him and blasted a full fledge of
fire at him. Abyss healed Tails and they both pinned him to
the ground and attacked him.
Just
then, Mephiles swooped in the battle. He blasted darkness
around the room, pausing the fight and harming evil for a
split second. The Commander attacked him, so did Silver.
Mephiles sent crystals at the Commander, pinning him to the
wall. Silver glowed with a silver light. Mephiles blasted
darkness at him Silver dodged him and sent a full fledge of
light at him. He was blasted back and fell to the floor.
Black Fire kicked Abyss and Tails and got up, seeing
Mephiles. He launched a fire ball at Silver. Silver was
blasted against the wall. Shadow blasted Knuckles ,Sonic and
Jet away with fire and ran up to Mephiles. Black Fire did
too. He helped him up. They linked hands. Shadow and Black
Fire's Emeralds floated in between the three. Mephiles's
darkness Emerald also floated into the middle.
The
Emeralds started to spin in a circle together, making a
blur. They chanted ancient words and they began to float.
Darkness overcame them and the Emeralds. Their eyes turned
black and a dark aura surrounded them. No one uttered a word
from fear of what they might do. Just then, They let out the
darkness and blasted it everywhere around the room. Everyone
but them were knocked unconscious. They floated back to the
ground. They unlinked hands and went back to normal.
Mephiles fell to his knees, breathing heavy. Black
Fire and Shadow kneeled next to him. "I'm sorry Black
Fire." he said. " For what?" Black Fire
asked. Mephiles leaned on him. "For leaving like this."
Black Fire sat down and layed Mephiles on his lap. He what
kind of leaving he was talking about. "No!" he
finnaly said. " Not this soon! Not like this! Please,
Mephiles." He looked down at him. "I'm sorry"
he said. He then closed his eyes and never again opened
them. A tear rolled down Black Fire's face. "And I'm
sorry too, for planning your death like this." "It
wasn't you!" Shadow said. "It was fate!"
Black Fire looked at Shadow with a half rage full and half
depressed look. "I don't believe in fate." he
said. With that he hung his head and sobbed.
That
night, Black Fire sat at Mephiles's grave. The gravestone
was one of the crystals Mephiles had made. Black Fire had
engraved on it with fire. It said:
Here
lies Mephiles, one of my greatest friends. He was the best
friend I ever had, and he always will be. He was like
Shadow's second father, even though he wasn't. I will always
miss you, my friend...
Black
Fire
He looked up at the stars
and remembered the good times, when the youth drug wasn't
even thought of. He saw a shooting star fly across the sky.
He had a feeling that was Mephiles, watching over him and
making sure he was never truly lonely. Black Fire smiled."I
will always miss you, my friend..."
