Chapter 10
Light and Dark
Me and Sonic both lunge at each other. The sonic booms that we create pushes us from the ARK. We fly at each other several times, each time blocking each other's blows. We then use projectiles. I fire Chaos Spears while Sonic uses energy orbs. All things fired cancel each other out. After a minute of this, we then go back to close-hand combat. I infuse my palm with Chaos power. The impact of my blow sends him flying closer to the ARK.
That's when he starts to get creative. He takes pieces of the ruined side of the ARK and forms them into a sword-like pole. I harden a Spear and use it the same way. As me and him enter a swordfight, images of Maria flash into my mind. As well as the memory of when she was killed.
"Maria!" I say after the soldier shoots. As i head to where her body lies, soldiers start to shoot at me. In my anger, i kill them all with Chaos Spears. I then head back to where she lies. She utters a few words as she forces me into an escape pod with her remaining strengt.. "Shadow...Please...help them." "MARIA!" The Escape Pod then leaves. I look on, with a grudge against the Humans lasting inside of my heart evermore...
"I can't lose here!" I proclaim to the faker. "I HAVE TO GET REVENGE! AND YOU WON'T STOP ME!" I remove the rings around my wrist as i begin to glow red and tears fill my eyes. The faker is shocked. My power has greatly increased. I feel a surge of energy as i break the"sword" that Sonic was using. "You pathetic faker!" I shout, not being too careful with my words, "I ALONE AM THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM! MARIA MEANT EVERYTHING TO ME! NOW THAT SHE'S GONE, NOTHING, NOT EVEN EMOTION, CAN STAND IN MY WAY! CHAOS..." I surge with energy as i attempt to let it out. "BLAST!"
The energy is released. The hedgehog tries to defend himself, but the shield he puts up falters, and the blast hits him dead-on. He staggers back, while attempting to fire an attack of his own. "I never thought you'd be this tough, Shadow. I respect what your tryin' to do, but there's a difference between a grudge and murder. You've crossed their barrier. Time to put you down! Justice Ball!"
He throws an orb of light at me. I summon my own shield in defense. It falters, and i end up taking the pain. Me and him only have one attack left. This next attack will be our last.
"Chaos Blast!" "Justice Ball!"
As the Chaos Blast and Justice Ball clash, more memories of Maria well up in my mind. She means everything to me. I'll even kill for her.
It ends. The ball is destroyed and he takes the impact. "Sh...ad...ow... Maria...didn't want...this..." He utters as he is destroyed by my anger. It's done.
The faker haunts me no more. I can finally take my revenge. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
