Ch.11: Super! Hyper! Super!

Everything stood still for a moment, even Fox was eerily still. Shadow had finished pulling out the choas emeralds, but it suddenly felt like they had no more power. The Master Emerald was acting strange, Knuckles could tell. It kept getting brighter and brighter and he felt at mercy of the emerald's light. The choas emeralds were being drianed of their power and Zagarow was using it to make himself more powerful . The white fire around them gave of an eerie glow and they literally saw Zagarow melt into the flames.

Amy: Where is he?

A burst of flame answered her question. The fire took the form of Zagarow.

Zagarow: Power, Marvelous Power, under my command. swinging a flaming claw at Fox I no longer have a use for you. he holds his claw out and a sheet of white fire is thrown at Fox.

Hadn't Sonic was standing nearby she would have been killed. Shadow looked at Knuckles as if expecting an idea to tackle Zagarow, but Knuckles was more busy looking at his Emerald than the fight. Which was a little odd, for him. Shadow decided to take a chance to get Zagarow. Dropping all the emeralds except one he called on the powers of Choas Control. But all he managed to do was to run straight through the fire, not evening laying a bruise.

Shadow: Well that was uselesshe was now standing outside the white ring of fire

Zagarow's eye's was focused on the rest of the team when Shadow burst back through him agian landing near Sonic and the drianed choas emeralds. Amy suddenly yelled and pointed.

Amy: Look!she was pointing in Knuckles direction

The glowing green light from the Master Emerald had become unbearingly bright. Shadow narrowed his eye's, but couldn't believe what was happening. Knuckles was disappearing, literally. Bit by bit the echidna dissolved until there was nothing left where he had been standing. Sonic was imedately worried and rushed toward where Knuckles once had been, Shadow followed. Zagarow was busy focusing his attention on the others, but to tell the truth he couldn't stand the source of light much longer. By the time Sonic and Shadow reached the Master Emerald it was to late, Knuckles was nowhere to be seen. Zagarow seemed to laugh. Sonic glared at him.

Sonic: You'll pay for this!

Shadow was almost stunned at Sonic's words. It had been the first time ever he had heard Sonic spit out a real threat. But, he had to admit he was as angry as Sonic, for three reasons. One, they stole a choas emerald and invaded his home. Two, they actually were able to trick him to leave. And Three, Zagarow's laugh seemed to indicate that he had gotten rid of Knuckles. The two hedgehogs were steamed and ready to take him down. The engergy drianed choas emeralds around their feet seemed to glow and they were soon facing Zagarow as Super Sonic and Super Shadow

Zagarow seeing the transformation cut off the path with fire so he and the two hedgehogs would settle this alone. The battle took place, Sonic was on one side, Shadow on the other. Zagarow raised up two claws pointing in either direction ready to blast them out of his way. Sonic and Shadow took aim and golden beams of light shot from their palms straight into Zagarows claws. Zagarow seemed to filnch, but that lasted only for a moment, and he began absorbing the energy from their blasts. This was a shock to Sonic and Shadow as they felt their energy being drained out of them. Zagarow smiled, he had suceeded in creating a weapon powerful enough to take down Shadow and Sonic. Himself.

Shadow and Sonic were starting to tire, the golden light that surrounded their bodie's dimmed and they landed barely conious on the floor. Zagarow gave a smirk and got ready to blast the hedgehogs out of exsistince. But suddenly from nowhere and speeding hot pink light was heading straight toward him. He couldn't tell what it was until to late, for the thing hit him in the center and he dissolved into nothingness.


Ch.12: Another Mystery

The white fire died down and strangely Shadow felt like he had suddenly regianed stregth. He looked over at Sonic who seemed to have recovered as well. The others looked okay as well

Sonic: What happened? We were facing Zagarow, then wham.

Shadow: Something else destroyed him, but I don't know what.

Amy had seen Sonic and Shadow were okay, but when she looked around she noticed someone was missing

Amy: Hey, where's Knuckles?

The Choatix had also noticed

Vector: Yo, Knux where are you?

Shadow and Sonic looked at each other, seeing their faces Rouge asked

Rouge: What happened?

Shadow and Sonic explianed how they had seen Knuckles disappear, and their fight with Zagarow. Rouge looked crestfallen, the other's were either suprised or worried,mabye both. There was no telling what had happened to him, or if they would ever see him agian. Sonic looked at Shadow.

Sonic: I guess your going to be staying here huh?

Shadow: Mabye. I believe the Ark is at peace at last, noone is going to do anything to it anytime soon.

Sonic: I have a question though what was that thing we saw destroy Zagarow?

Shadow: I don't now, but mabye we'll find out.

The End
