Brother? What is Echo talking about? Shadow isn't his brother... He's mine! What is that hedgehog play at? Oh well... I'll find out eventually. He claims to have the highest power in Troy, but can he stand against Shadow Saiyan spirit? I wish I was awake to see this...

Bakuda's Diary Entry: Bow your heads low...

Shadow the hedgehog stood calmly on the podium; his silver gi was removed to just the leggings so his quills could be more flexible. He looked to his right side and glared right into the eyes of his opponent, who was equally glaring back yet had a grim feeling held within the orbs of sight he used against the ebony hedgehog.

Shadow turned his head forward again, not interested in the slightest at what the white and blue hedgehog's problem with him was. The two didn't say a word as the room around them changed slightly at first then expanded to the outside realm. The arena of where they were fighting became apparent soon enough to be a glacier surrounded by a shimmering ocean. The sun was high in the cold and wispy air but the golden sphere of heat and light was setting upon the clear ocean around them.

Shadow looked to Echo, his opponent when he raised a brow and his palm to catch an unprovoked punch by the hedgehog he was to fight. Echo snarled as he tried to release his hand but Shadow kept hold; "Who are you?!" Echo demanded.

Shadow frowned; "Shadow Son the hedge-" he started before receiving a kick to the side by the Trojan.

"LIAR! You are not my brother, you are not Shadow the Hedgehog!" he yelled.

Shadow raised a brow and let the fist go while cricking his neck, ignoring the pain from the kick; "Well Echo. I certainly am NOT your brother and confused why you make such a claim. Not to add that an unprovoked attack could get you disqualified." He muttered and fell into a fighting position.

Echo drew a trio of sticks held together by chains and one end had a tri ended spear. Shadow knew this weapon to be a tri-section staff and could be used for quite some damaged if used correctly.

Echo the hedgehog. One more 'Uncalled for' attack and you will disqualify from this tournament!

Echo the Hedgehog vs. Shadow Son the Hedgehog! Ready? Begin!

Echo charged forward immediately with the tri-section staff wielded in his hands and swung it down towards Shadows head but the ebony hedgehog back flipped with ease and kicked the weapon out of his hands like this match was a game of basketball and he was an opposing player. The staff flew high into the air and a moment later, it was disintegrated in a blast of red light.

Shadow landed softly; "You need to have more than childish toys like that to hurt me." He said glowering at his adversary.

Echo snarled and drew a long sword from seemingly nowhere; "If the real Shadow were still alive, HE would have this weapon!" he snarled and charged at Shadow.

Shadow sighed and jumped over Echo while drawing his own 'Sword of Dusk'; "You fool, I AM the real Shadow!" he spat and span as he landed, taking a swipe at his enemy. Echo spun as well and both blades clashed together with an almighty 'Clang'!

Both of them rebounded of each other with sparks flying where they met. Both looked fiercely at the other and simultaneously fell into a spin dash while holding their swords, becoming balls with blades spinning around them. The two charged for a moment and ice and snow picked up.

Bolt was stirring an 'Ice-Smoothie' as he watched with interest; "This is going to be big." He murmured softly.

Marl nodded; "Yes. But Echo has the advantage." He said clearly.

Ren looked to him in confusion, raising an eyebrow; "Becaaaaaaaaaaaaaaause?" she asked, Marl never did explain fully unless asked.

Marl sighed in agitation at being interrupted in watching the match; "Echo absorbs Shadow's strength the more he fights him. Echo can't learn his techniques yet, but he is learning how to use his chaos energy to fuel his body movements like Shadow uses his natural energy." He explained.

Shadow and Echo were rebounding off of each other while shattering nearby icebergs in the process. Shockwaves and chaos energy flew off them like fireworks as they repeatedly clashed their bodies and swords. They met in the middle of the arena but this time, Shadow was thrown backwards and into a stray glacier that they had missed.

Shadow pulled himself from the ice with pain; "Argh! What is with this guy!?" he spat just as Echo landed on the ground without a scratch.

"Alright you worthless clone, I know you have the tricks as the original Shadow and have your own but here's something that you just happened to teach me!" he said bringing his hands behind his back; "I can manipulate Chaos energy at will! Let's try it out when I use one of your techniques. Ka... Me... Ha..." he chanted loudly, a beam of white/blue energy began forming in his hands.

Shadow swore loudly, much to Tails and Lily's disgust since they were still younger and didn't like hearing that language. He braced himself just as Echo chanted the last two syllables and a colossal beam of chaos energy surged over him, an explosion followed suit as Shadow's body was sealed from view.

Asuka gasped; "Oh no..." she whispered softly in worry, a few people were with her but not Yoko and Donna! They were jumping around like lunatics and yelling 'Echo won! Shadow's done! Echo Won!'.

That is until Mizuki knocked both to the ground and putting them in 'Timeout' however...

The blast's smoke had cleared, leaving a heavily bruised but not yet beaten ebony hedgehog. Echo snickered and lowered to the ground; "You're persistent." He commented.

Shadow smiled and glowed blue for a short second, but the wind masked it; "I must say you've surprised me. But how's this trick?" he asked with the wind picking up around him, his teeth clenched together tightly and his eyes flashed to a teal colour. In a blinding blast of light, Shadow was hovering above the ground slightly with his black fur now golden and an aura of yellow fury surrounding his being; "Super Saiyan!" Shadow yelled out and his aura increased.

Echo snickered; "Saiyan powers won't help you fake Shadow." He chuckled and created a red ball of energy in his hand and fired it at Shadow quickly. Shadow smirked and raised his hands and redirected it above him by beating it up like volleyball.

Shadow jumped into the air and fired his own golden ball of energy toward the blue/white hedgehog, but this one much larger and more powerful than the one he deflected. Echo's eyes grew wide; "What is this power I'm getting from him?!" he thought panicked but his train of thought was cancelled when he was forced to collide with a golden beam and sent beneath the ice with a strong resemblance to a meteor the size of a soccer ball.

Shadow vanished and reappeared in the freezing water next to Echo, who seemed excited about how the match was playing out; "That attack weakened him. He should have more power than this." He thought and threw a punch through the water.

Shadow threw one also and it met head on, the two began an underwater struggle... Shadow dodged another attack by Echo and tried to swipe over his head but Echo leant forward with his feet up so he kicked Shadow in the face before executing it.

Shadow snarled wordlessly and tried his own kick at the distracted hedgehog which connected with the back of the neck. Echo steadied himself while rubbing his neck angrily he vanished in a blue light. Shadow vanished as well and become visible above the water.

Shadow looked around angrily; "Now where did he go?!" he scowled, just as Echo emerged from behind with two hands doused in red energy and point blank to the golden hedgehogs back.

A resulting explosion sent the now reverted ebony hedgehog down into the freezing sea. Echo smirked and landed on the ground, he only had a few cut and bruises on him; "Are you done 'Shadow'?" he asked cockily.

Shadow beached himself and spat out cold salt water; "You... You stole my moves!" he snarled. Echo shrugged, like this was not a problem to him.

The Saiyan sighed but began laughing, he looked at him through a wide grin; "You may have my moves. All but one. You had trouble with me, how about everyone?" he asked and became just a wisp of smoke that dissolves in the air.

Tails tilted his head; "The multi form technique? That would weaken him! Why?" he asked everyone, hoping for an answer.

Mavrik grunted and pointed up; "Echo was so full of himself he failed to notice the 'shadow' up there gathering energy into a ball of energy." He said simply.

Tails looked up and paled; "It... IT'S THE SPIRIT BOMB! AND IT'S ABOUT TO DETONATE!" he screamed.

A black hedgehog with red quills was holding a giant blue ball in his hands but he became a yellow hedgehog the next second. The ball was soon becoming absorbed into his aura and his power supply. Shadow smirked and his voice carried through the glacier; "ECHO! WATCH AND OBSERVE YOUR OPPONENTS!" He yelled.

The golden aura stopped growing at an alarming rate as the energy was absorbed into his being; his fur was replaced with heavy golden armour that scaled over his body. The protected hedgehog lowered to the ground but it melted beneath of him; "I am Spirit Shadow!" he said proudly and dashed forward.

Echo was too put off by the transformation to defend himself and found himself by the throat of his supposed brother. Spirit Shadow frowned; "You tried to take me from my only family. I am not your brother and am not a Trojan. I am Shadow Son the hedgehog. Mobian turned Saiyan and soon to be the God of Dusk! This is who I am!" he said proudly.

Echo's eyes widened as the fist clutching him turn into a beam of energy; the reflection of the golden beam in his eyes was the last thing he saw for that match...

The room shifted to the waiting room just as Spirit Shadow reverted to his normal ebony and armour-less self, he panted on the floor until Mizuki came up; "Well done Shadow! Chaos will be proud!" she said hugging him. Shadow was put off by the sudden action but smiled and gave her a quick hug before standing up.

"Tell Chaos for me?" he asked. Mizuki nodded vigorously while Shadow went to the nearest wall to rest up for his next match, everyone parting for the hedgehog that lived to his title: 'The Ultimate Lifeform'.

I heard it was an 'Explosive' battle! Too bad I was still unconscious. Echo should have known, even the mightiest warrior cannot hope to defend the greater power... The power of all beings that cheer him on.

Bow your heads low, All hail Shadow!

Winner is Shadow the hedgehog! Next match is Tails vs. Colossus! Prepare for battle!

I begin my mid-year exams in the next three days and have been studying hard so... I needed a break.
