Lauren the Echidna
Chapter 26
7 Chaos Emeralds
My sinister laughing had continued, as Mephiles continued his attack on me, but failing miserably, feeling swoop after swoop of the dark energy inside me. My mind was completely blank at the time, and my eyes had turned as dark as they possibly could. Mephiles floated upward toward the ceiling and blew a gaping hole in it, but was knocked down two seconds later by a spinning axe kick that I had learned from Sonic, and landing Mephiles into the center of the skating rink. I looked down to him and snickered evilly again, then flying toward him, with two black and red orbs going ablaze in both of my hands. Mephiles' eyes widened, then he quickly rolled to the side, dodging the attack then felt a hand grab his neck and being slammed up against the wall of the room. Mephiles gagged and grunted trying to remove my hand from his throat, but at first had no luck in doing so.
"Hmhmhmhm...you really have gone too far, Mephiles...maybe I should destroy you here and now..." I smirked and showed the fangs in my mouth and then chucked his body into the other wall on the other side of the room, which was about a hundred feet away from me. I turned around and that black and red aura grew even bigger. Stepping forward a bit, I stopped and grinned more, glaring at Mephiles as he was in this state of pain. But this pain only lasted a second.
His quills began to glow their colors again, but this time, covering each of his quills in their required element: Ice, electricity, fire, poison, and nature. His favorite element, being poison, was glowing at the top quill on his head, getting completely submerged in that crystalline poison and getting bigger with each passing second. Mephiles smirked, showing that his fangs were growing inside his mouth and becoming as sharp as a blade that was freshly made. He laughed his evil laugh and I just stood there watching, wondering what I should do next. He continued to laugh and then five bright lights appeared around him. The five Chaos Emeralds he had were surrounding him and spinning in their place, circling him, while those green eyes of his turned to nothing but black just like the rest of his body. No sign of color was then seen on Mephiles' body, except the color shade from the shadows of the emeralds.
"Hmhmhm...HA HA HA HA HA HA!!! YOU'RE ONE PATHETIC KID, LAUREN!!! YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW WHERE I'M GOING TO GET THOSE LAST TWO EMERALDS!!" Mephiles shouted at the top of his lungs, thus striking fear into the bodies of my family. I stood there with arms hanging in front of me, just watching, my fur still its dark yellow color, and my eyes still black, no pupils or irises to be seen. There was no joke here. Mephiles was about to transform, but I just laughed and stepped forward again, but was then frozen in place again. I shivered and felt a cold chill crawl up my spine and through my head.
This wasn't any ordinary feeling. Something was about to come out of me. I glanced up and then coughed, hitting my knees, grasping my throat, as if preventing something from coming out. I gagged and then spit up that orb of light that was placed inside of me before, but the colors of this orb were not white, but blue and white. That aura around me suddenly began to fade, then I glanced up at the orb, quickly recognizing what those two colors had represented.
"Th..Those are....the last...two Chaos Emeralds....they were--" I began, but was cut off by Mephiles' laughing.
"Inside of you! Exactly, kid! You were the holder of the blue and white Chaos Emeralds the entire time...and you brought them to me...Hmhmhm...come to me emeralds...and make me ALL POWERFUL!!!" Mephiles shouted again and the orb of blue and white light came to him, then shape shifting into, as I said, the last two Chaos Emeralds. The dark blue representing the power of water, and the white one compelling the power of light. With all of the seven Chaos Emeralds in Mephiles' grasp, I knew at that point that I was finished.
Mephiles took in all the emeralds and somehow combined with them, and then starting to shift into the worst monster that I have ever seen. His quills grew long almost touching the ground, but then his body began to grow as well, thus turning into a giant, destroying another gaping hole in the ceiling in the roof. My eyes grew wide, but then was grabbed out of the way of his sudden stomping of his foot. In the other room, my parents and my dog were then gone, also saved by three other figures that had gotten there in time.
Mephiles' quills were once again tipped with the five original colors and elements of the emeralds, but his two hands had been omitting the remaining two powered Chaos Emeralds, water and light, then was as giant as the building itself, maybe bigger. He laughed an evil laugh so sinister...it shook almost the entire planet earth around him. It struck fear into every heart in the world, my parents, my friends at school, everyone watched as they began to see how their world was tearing apart...this could have been the day...when Mephiles finally has won...
