Chapter 7: From Friends to Rivals

Whoopee for me; another update… rolls eyes

CREAM'S HOUSE 8:15

Dawn and Demise were now elsewhere, and everyone ate their breakfast quickly because Tails had important news.

Tails: After the fight this morning, I've gathered up some information from the marks they left behind on the ground, and I scanned them.

Amy: And what did you find?

Tails: It appears that based on the comparisons of DNA I found, it appears that both sets of DNA are from the same source!

Sonic: For the good of everyone here...English please?!

Tails: In other words, Dawn and Demise are part of one being!

Knuckles: But how is that even possible?!

Tails: I studied the information thoroughly and found out that at once their DNA was separate from each other's. Apparently, something happened and it fused them together, but after that, they separated again. Then, they probably took on their own forms, which is why they look like they aren't related.

Sonic: We get that much, but how do you explain the grudge they have against each other?

Tails: That I'm not sure about...

Shadow then teleported inside.

Shadow: I know why...

Sonic: Really?!

Shadow: Remember when that guy was inside of me? Ever since he left, I've been having strange visions, and in one of them, they were arguing about something right before a freak accident...

I saw a vision of a lab and I saw a golden hedgehog and a white one. They were wearing lab coats but they looked like how they do now...

Dawn: You're taking this too far! Someone is going to get hurt!

Demise: What!? This research will change us for better!

Dawn: Then why did you kill so many people?

Demise: They were in the way and you know it!

Dawn: Look out! The crystals going to explode! I told you this went too far!

Demise: No! I need more time! Too late! It's gonna blow!

Then, glass surrounding the crystal shattered and there was an explosion...and when the light faded, I saw a strange blob. Then, it separated into two, and they each went through a portal. One of the blobs was white, while the other black...

Amy: So those two blobs were really Dawn and Demise?

Sonic: Probably...

Shadow teleported away again; He left the others to think about what they heard Shadow say.

MEANWHILE...

Dawn and Demise were up in the clouds they just teleported away from the ground.

Demise: So you think you can beat me? You must be joking!

Demise launched chaos spears at Dawn, but he dodged every one of them.

Dawn: You'll have to try better than that! Miracle Light!

Then, Dawn started to glow brightly as if he was unleashing all of his power at once.

Demise: You didn't think you'd beat me if I was to use the same thing?! Immoral Darkness!

Demise also started to glow, but with a black light. Then, they each charged each other, about to collide...

BOOOOOOOM! There was a huge explosion and then a bright light. When it faded, Dawn and Demise each were drained of energy...and fell to the planet. They landed about a mile apart. Demise landed near the furthest edge of the forest, and Dawn landed 50 feet away from Cream's house and near Shadow. Inside, the others heard the explosion and the crash.

Amy: What was that?

Sonic ran outside, with everyone else close behind. When Sonic got out, he saw the crater, with Shadow very close by it. Shadow seemed to be looking down. Sonic then ran there and stopped near Shadow.

Sonic: What just happened?!

Shadow just pointed his finger down in the crater, and when the smoked cleared it revealed...

Sonic: Dawn?! What's going on?
