Book Two: Chapter Thirty: The Final Assault: Part One
Shadow over-voice: It has been a few days since the dark tower appeared in the sky...and just yesterday we received another attack, but this time the monsters were even stronger...it probably has something to do with the Flower of Darkness he stole... Whatever the reason...we have to stop him...no matter what...
July 20: Mountains: 16:00
Dawn was on the tops of the mountains. He has been watching everyone on the island for days. (actually since book one) He knew that it was finally time to fight himself.
Dawn: I thought it would never come to this...but I must do something or I might never get to see my old friend again...
Dawn jumped off the mountains and vanished into the fog below
Cliff: Same Time
Everyone was at the cliff. Samantha and Sinji were going to help as well. They finally knew that it was time to fight Demise...for the last time...
Shadow: It's time to end this once and for all!
Sonic: Once and for all!
Suddenly, the ground began to shake. Then, a laser fired from the Flower of Darkness and hit the ocean. It created a tidal wave that was high enough to crash into the cliff. It was about to hit the shore when Amy jumped in front of it
Cream: Amy, no!
As soon as her hands touched the water, the tidal wave turned into ice. Sonic and Shadow took quick action and jumped off the cliff and were about to hit the ice, when a vortex of fire surrounded them and melted a hole in the ice. When they got through, they looked back and saw it came from Cream. She was just as surprised as everyone else.
Cream and Amy: How'd we do that?
Then, something else happened. Vines shot out under Sonic and Shadow. They were able to run on them, and they reached close to the tower. They came from Cosmo.
Cosmo: And me?
Suddenly, another thing happened. Rouge created a torrent of air that reached under the tidal waves containing freezing water from Amy. As soon as the air and water and the tidal made contact, all the other tidal waves froze preventing flooding.
Rouge: And me?
Meanwhile in the tower...
Demise: New abilities hmmm? I shall see they are the first to go!
He wiped his hand in front of the screen, and at the same time the Flower of Darkness shot out beams of darkness at the girls.
At the same time...
The beams had fired and were making their way to the cliff.
Shadow: We need to stop it!
Sonic ran back down the vine through the hole in the ice, landed on the cliff and dashed in front of Amy. Tails was protecting Cosmo and Cream, and Knuckles threw himself in front of Rouge. Then...the beams hit...a dark flash of light...silence...the sound of a drop of blood hitting the ground. Amy looked up and saw Sonic threw himself in front of the attack to save her.
Amy: Sonic? gasp
She saw that he had cuts all over him. His legs were fine, but his arms had the most damage, and there was a cut on his face with blood dripping out of it. Then, he collapsed and had his eyes slightly open.
Knuckles and Tails took no damage. Knuckles used enough of his strength to collapse the beam causing it to discharge, and Tails used a blast of light that reflected the beam. After seeing the girls were okay, they saw Amy in front of Sonic whispering something to him.
They walked over and saw what had happened. Sonic had thought only of saving Amy. He didn't even think about what would happen to him.
Amy in a soft voice: Wake up...please wake up...don't leave us...please...
Tails: No...
Knuckles: I thought this would never have to happen...boy did I jinx it...
Cream: Is Mr. Sonic okay?
Tails: I'm afraid not this time Cream...
Cream and Cheese began to sob. Cosmo had tears dripping out of her eyes constantly while looking out at the sky.
Cosmo: When I was young...sniff...my mother showed me an Amethyst Flower, said to show the future. I saw flashes of what I would experience, and a few in particular depicted this battle...sniff...I saw Sonic lying on the ground, supposedly dead, Dawn and Demise facing off...and later after our this battle and our next adventure...the worst event of all...
They were all silent...then, Sonic opened up his eyes. He looked out at Shadow. He quickly said something to him.
Sonic softly and weakly: This one's all yours, Shadow...try not to mess up...
He closed his eyes again, but with a smile on his face. Shadow took off through the sky like a rocket.
Shadow thinking: Don't you worry...you've always been underestimating me...
