Shadow's POV:

I bet you are wondering why things didn't go as I originally planned. Well, on my way to look for Mephiles in the forest, I found my G.U.N. partner, Rouge. She asked me if I had seen Mephiles and I told her I was looking for him. She asked me where I was going to look, so I told her that if I didn't find him in the forest, that I am going to Amelia's house. Well, Rouge thought it was a good idea to bring out all these other G.U.N. soldiers (even though I really feel I could handle this myself). I decided not to object. Besides, turns out, they had the six Chaos Emeralds in hiding that they let me use because I knew that Mephiles had the seventh one. So, given all of these things, Mephiles doesn't stand a chance in winning this time. If I don't kill him, one of the soldiers will, or perhaps his darkness will finally take over and destroy him. At any rate, he will be done for, once and for all.

I stand in the doorway, clutching the six emeralds. I sense that the red one, which belongs to me in the first place, is nearby. I also hear footsteps. I have a feeling I know who it is who is coming too.

Mephiles's POV:

I walk down the hall and into Amelia's living room to find the front door kicked off the hinges. The kitchen is a big mess. Not only is the door kicked in, but there is also dust from it being knocked down. Shadow is standing there, arms crossed, clutching the six Chaos Emeralds in his hands. How on Earth he got them is beyond me, but I am still very angry with him. I am starting to get annoyed with him to the point where I just want him to get lost and leave Amelia and I alone. There's enough going on and I for one am not needing his drama added to the pot.

"Nice job, stealing my emerald without my consent!" Shadow shouts when he sees me.

"Nice job kicking in Amelia's door without her consent!" I shout back. "Which by the way was really unnecessary and now Amelia is going to have to pick up the tab for your mess!"

"At this point she deserves to pick up the tab for making the dumb decision to even free you at all!" Shadow shouts back. "Maybe next time she will think. People like you are in G.U.N. prison for a reason. Because they are monsters and are a threat to everyone's safety! Which you ought to be the number one threat after the trouble you have caused! You nearly destroyed the entire world!"

"WILL YOU GET OVER THE STUFF THAT HAPPENED YEARS AGO!?" I shout, feeling my short temper quickly starting to rise. I feel heat come through my body, a sign my darkness is flaring due to my anger.

"Oh temper, temper!" Shadow says, still remaining strangely calm. He tosses an emerald up and catches it. "Don't you know what happens if your temper breaks? Your darkness will destroy you and then you will be torn apart by your own anger! I am just stating what is true. And that is my reason I rounded up all these soldiers and why I am standing here. Because you are a threat to-"

"G.U.N. THOUGHT YOU WERE A THREAT WHEN YOU WERE FIRST CREATED! " I yell, unable to keep myself from yelling. The heat in my body increases and I feel myself starting to automatically go into crystal form. "THEY KILLED MARIA, AND LOCKED YOU UP IN PRISON BECAUSE THEY ASSUMED YOU WERE A MONSTER BEFORE THEY UNDERSTOOD YOU MEAN NO HARM! AND YOU ARE ACTING THE SAME WAY TOWARDS ME! YOU OUGHT TO BE ASHAMED! I THOUGHT YOU WOULD HAVE LEARNED NOT TO TREAT PEOPLE THAT WAY!"

Shadow growls and rushes towards me, using the power of the Emeralds to boost his power and speed. He slams me as hard as he can into the wall. I feel my mouth start to bleed a little but I don't pay it any mind. The heat in my body continues to rise, and I try to fight it the best I can.

"Don't you ever mention Maria AGAIN!" Shadow yells, his eyes seeming to glow a bit with anger. "You know absolutely nothing about those days! You have absolutely no clue about what I went through! You never will have the faintest idea! You belong trapped! I didn't!"

"The fact you still dwell on something that happened 50 years ago is really amusing!" I say, this time my tone not as loud as before. I shove Shadow away from me and start to absorb energy from the Chaos Emerald while he is down on the ground. The Emerald soon turns black when all of its energy is drained and I drop it onto the ground.

"WHAT IN THE NAME OF CHAOS DID YOU DO TO IT?" Shadow shouts once he shakes off how dazed he is.

"Nothing, just absorbed all of its energy." I state. I blast Shadow in the face with my Dark Chaos Lance ability. "Now there's no way you will be able to use your Super Form. If anyone is going Super, then it'll be me!"

Shadow's POV:

I glare at Mephiles, not believing what he just did. I barely avoid getting knocked out by his Dark Chaos Lance by jumping to the side. I turn to the G.U.N. soldiers, and give them my signal to fire off their weapons.

Nothing but loud banging is heard. I figured since I cannot turn super, I can still bombard Mephiles with bullets while also using my own abilities. He certainly can't dodge all of that. And providing I keep a close eye on my six emeralds, I should be able to win this. But something about Mephiles has me slightly concerned. His eyes have a reddish purple outline to them. And the purple is starting to tint his entire eye now. I also sense a growing bunch of Darkness Energy coming from him. It's starting...Soon his Darkness will destroy him. I watch as Mephiles teleports around, miraculously dodging the majority of the bullets, and managing to fire some lasers back. I smirk slightly when one of the bullets hits him in the arm. Just what he gets for everything he said about my past that he knows absolutely nothing about. All and all, Mephiles is just a mere child-he chooses to deny it and pretend he is an adult or something which in my opinion is quite stupid if you ask me. He knows nothing about what is was like for me and he's got no business flapping his jaws about it.

I stand back, keeping myself hidden behind the table as not to be hurt by any stray bullets. Mephiles is firing lasers like crazy, but recklessly. He's starting to shake alot due to his overpowering darkness, and thus doesn't seem to be fighting as well. Suddenly, BANG! The table is knocked over by one of Mephiles's lasers. I jump to the side to avoid getting squished, but in my moment of shock, I dropped the six emeralds on the ground!

I quickly rush over to get the dropped Emeralds, but Mephiles gets to them by teleporting before I could even start running. Oh boy...Now he has all seven of them if you count the one that he absorbed the power from earlier, and I have nothing! I rush over to him, trying to get the Emeralds out of his hands. I notice that he still has the red one in his hands that had been drained of its energy, but now, it is red again and full of energy. Wow...Emeralds certainly regain energy fast...

We continue to try and get the Emeralds so we can change into our Super Form, all the while avoiding the bullets still being shot by the G.U.N. soldiers. I manage to get a few away from Mephiles, but I am having a hard time getting the other 3 I need back.

"You're not going to keep those Emeralds!" I yell. "You have no business with them anyway! You will do nothing but cause problems with them."

Mephiles is shaking too much due to his overpowering Darkness to even answer me. He scratches me in the chest, giving me a bad scratch. I ignore it though and continue to try and get the 3 Emeralds from him while he tries to get the 4 from me. I manage to slam Mephiles into a wall before long. Automatically, due to the force, he lets go of the Emeralds. Also, I don't know if it was due to the force or due to his Darkness, but he has fainted out also. Perfect opportunity to finish him. I grab all of the Emeralds and close my eyes, transforming into my Super Form. See you, Mephiles The Dark! This is just what you deserve; it was coming all along...

DUN DUN DUNNNN! What will happen next? Find out next chapter!

I divided the battle again into two parts because it is very lengthly and I do not think that readers would like to read a giant battle chapter. So here is the first half. The second half will be posted in the next few days.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed and reviews welcome!
