Part 7
It happened so fast its hard to recollect. Max drew out the Linear Edge and brought it to the same stance he had in the room. Roboknuckles made his... no it wasn't his anymore. He made Max's staff materialize. Me and Marble were just spectators in this fight. Well Max. Its finally time to fight me for real. Do you think your up to the challenge? HA! Roboknuckles bellowed with his metallic grin on his face.
Only my friends... Max's eyes darkened CALL ME MAX!, The first blow was deafening. Light flashed as the two weapons collided. It was spectacular. The two were blurred by there speed. Each one attacking and countering like they had been through the battle a thousand times. Then came the horrendous down slash. The sword glowed bright green when it collided with the Dark Inferno. They were at a standstill. Max was trying to overpower roboknuckles in his down slash. Roboknuckles had the staff in both hands resisting the sword. nurhhhh... you cant win brother of mine.
IM NOT YOUR BROTHER! Max replied. He was in a furious rage. I can barley imagine how he felt. But of course he was in another kind of rage as well. Max was drawing the supreme energy from the chaos emeralds. And apparently, so was Roboknuckles. Both of them started to glow white. both of them yelled in unison. Lighting flashed from where they were and bounced off the roof of the dome. The ground started to cave in a perfect circle around them. At that instant both of them flew back. CHAO KA-ME-HA-MEH-HA! Roboknuckles bellowed RIJUKEN SLASH The attacks met in midair. The blast was like nothing i have ever seen. Shock waves bounced off the dome and back to the middle. The room was filled with red and white light. Then the energy subsided. My eyes readjusted. I saw the two of them hovering in mid air on opposite ends of the dome.
I guess since you can equal me at normal fighting its time to take it up a notch Knuckles said with overwhelming superiority. Bring it were the last things i heard out of Max's mouth before Roboknuckles began firing wave after wave of his Ramano Blastars Max started deflecting them with his sword. No he wasn't deflecting, he was simply absorbing the energy. That explains the incredible ki attack that followed. The sagen ko was a bomb, an energy bomb, It was a simple white orb that formed in Max's hands. He brought his arm over his chest and threw the energy back. It hit dead on. Once again the room brightened with the blast. Suddenly without warning Roboknuckles flew out of the blast while it was still going on. Smoke streamed out behind him. he yelled. Max had been taken completely off guard. Blood stained the ground as the Dark Inferno tore a hole through Max's left shoulder. Max yelled out in pain. Now it ends. And i can say personally... you wont come back. FA-SEN-KO... I recognized the attack halfway through it. It was the attack that marble was named after. The attack that killed off Kain. There was no way Max would have survived if it wasn't for Grandis. I took up the cannon at full power. I had never fired it like this before. I had braced myself against the wall. Even that wasn't enough. I fired the one charge that you gave me. I still can figure out what you put in it. The beam was bright green and it slammed itself into Roboknuckles. It also slammed me into the wall. It curved back as the beam continued. I could barely make out Max's opponent but I saw him turn his head mid beam. Then the beam died. The weapon had been removed from Max's shoulder. Knuckles was looking at me. That moment seemed frozen in my mind. I could veagly hear Marble screaming for me to move. Roboknuckles eyes. Began to glow blood red. They struck fear like ive never felt in my heart. He started to run at me full speed. I was stuck on the spot to scared to move. Max was yelling. Jumped in Roboknuckles path, ducked and raised his sword up. The blade went straight through his midsection. I call upon the power of the emeralds the super emeralds and the master chaos emerald. Aid me in your quest for domination! Thy foes WILL NOT STAND BEFORE THEE! Max spoke the spell with great speed. The sword, still rammed through Roboknuckles, changed from its normal gray to gold in a brilliant flash of light. ORTEGA BLASTER! were the last things he said before he passed out. The gold beam that started at the linear edges hilt ripped through Roboknuckles like, i cant describe it. It was a clean hole through his middle. Just then Max ran out of juice. The beam subsided... and he fell.
