----- Chapter 11: Epsilion's Offence -----
Sally watched as he slowed down again. From his posture, she could tell
that the obsidian hedgehog was losing his patients. They had spent the
last hour following him as he searched for something; problably Maria.
Though she didn't know the dark hedgehog very well, she could sense that
her absence pained him. She felt sorry for him.
He suddenly stopped causing Sonic to plow into him, but he didn't react.
He seemed focussed on something far away. She held her breath. One word, a
name, immediatly sprang from her memory.
"Epsilion..." she heard him whisper almost to himself. She watched as Sonic
put his hand on the dark hedgehog's shoulder. Shadow focussed his ruby eyes
on the blue hedgehog and studdied him for a moment before turning away.
'I know where you are, Epsilion. I know you're watching...'
* * * * *
He had felt the presence of his dark brother long ago. This worried him.
His plan wasn't quite perfected yet. He still needed to find her; find the
password before he could. He had to beat Shadow to the freezing chamber,
or he would fail to defeat him.
His jaw tightened as he stared at the consule before him. The faulty human
technology that had given him birth was so advanced that it couldn't even
find a password to unlock the freezing chamber. Patience lost long ago, he
slammed his fist onto the cosule and stared at the floor. It beeped. He
looked up, curious, and smiled.
"Now why didn't I think of that?" Epsilion scolded himself and skated away.
* * * * *
'You found it, didn't you? That's why you're going to her now. I know you
know I'm coming. I'll be there shortly... Epsilion.' Shadow smirked kicking
his skates on, leaving his followers in the dust. He turned the corner in
time to see Epsilion's skates disappear through a door. The door sealed
before he could slip in. He swore.
"What's up? Is this the room we're looking for?" Sonic asked catching up to
him. Shadow didn't answer. The black hedgehog quickly punched a word into
the keypad near the door. Sonic had grown to hate that word: Robotnik. The
doors slid open revieling a dark room with a softly glowing blue tube in
the middle. A figure was floating inside the tube and Sonic looked to
Shadow. "That's her, isn't it?"
"I know you're in here, there's no need to hide." said Shadow walking into
the room. Sonic raised an eyebrow at him, but remained silent. He looked
over his shoulder as Sally, Tails and Amy finally caught up. They looked
as confused as he felt, but they didn't say anything. He turned back to
Shadow and saw two instead of one.
"You look suprised, Coward. Weren't expecting me?" Epsilion teased.
"I knew you were here... And stop calling me a coward!" Sonic threatened
stepping forward.
"Stand down!" Shadow shouted causing Sonic to jump. Epsilion smirked and
looked at Shadow.
"Don't tell me you're protecting that excuse for a hedgehog. Shadow, what
has gotten into you?"
"Shut-up!" Shadow stepped forward, ignoring the stares from the the blue
hedgehog and his friends.
"Really, Brother, your harsh words hurt me." Epsilion smirked leaping at
the black hedgehog. Shadow easily blocked the attack. The two waited,
staring at eachother.
"You are too artificial to even know what hurt is!" Shadow shouted glancing
at the glowing blue tube.
"And you're too dense to even realize the truth!" Epsilion shouted before
attacking again. Shadow blocked and coutered, striking the navy hedgehog
in the gut. Epsilion wasn't even phazed by the blow.
"And what truth might that be?" Shadow asked barring his teeth.
"You are a mistake!" Epsilion roared and lunged at his brother. He was
stopped as a red and gold hammer clobbered him over the head. He turned to
the annoying pink hedgehog and blasted her away.
"Amy!" Sonic dashed over to her to see if she was alright. Shadow felt bad
for the girl, but her attack had hesitated Epsilion, giving him enough time
to charge his favorite attack. He smirked and raised his hand above his head.
"Chaos spear!" Shadow shot his hand down and a light followed. He had
caught Epsilion off gaurd and the navy hedgehog showed it. The attack
struck him and he flew back. He crashed into a wall, but got right back up
again.
"You'll have to do better than that, Brother." Epsilion whispered menisingly.
Shadow smirked.
"That was only the tip of the iceberg." Shadow smirked, sinking into a
fighting stance. Epsilion snickered and raised his hands out in front of
him so that they rested palm to palm. He seperated them reveling a ball of
ice blue energy.
"Speaking of icebergs... Subzero Blaster!" Epsilion smirked and threw the
ball at Shadow. The black hedgehog barely had enough time to put up an
energy shield as the ball struck. Ice encircled him, trapping him. He swore
under his breath, but Epsilion's ears still caught it. "Such foul language!
Maria would be disappointed in you, Shadow."
"So that's what this is all about?" Soinc shouted stepping forward. Epsilion
slowly focussed his icy eyes on teh other hedgehog. "That's why you two are
trying to kill each other?"
"What are you talking about, Coward?" Epsilion smiled, crossing his arms.
"You want Shadow out of your life just because you couldn't share a girl
who came to mean so much to you both? How ridiculous is that?" Sonic came
to a stop right between the identical hedgehogs. Epsilion scowled at him.
"If you were wise, hedgehog, you'd stay out of this." Epsilion warned,
barring his teeth.
"Well, I'm not wise. But I'm not going to stand by and watch two brothers
fight over thier mom!" Sonic answered sinking into a fighting stance.
Epsilion smirked and sank into a fighting stnce of his own.
"You won't live to regret those words!" Epsilion whispered bringing his
thumb and index finger together. He seperated them causing a spark. He
pointed at the clueless blue hedgehog and smirked. "Death Beam!"

Author's Note: Are you ticked at me for leaving off in such a great spot?
I couldn't resist! Ah! (Hedgehog kisses tickle!)
