Chapter 10: Crimson's fall
The bout for the final Chaos Stone has begun. Two hedgehogs versus the most powerful dragon guardian. Sonic and Shadow ran towards the enemy, while Crimson kept himself in the same place. Finally, when they were too close to dodge, the red dragon belched red hot flames from its jaws. Sonic shouted as the flames hit him, but Shadow managed to dodge it somehow. The black hedgehog heard the hedgehog shout, so he turned and knocked the flame away with his elbow. The blue one saw this with awe in his eyes. All the flame managed to do was scorch Shadow's elbow.
"How did-" Sonic managed to say through his amazement.
"'s what you get when you're revived by one of the most powerful creatures in the universe," Shadow said, grinning.
Sonic didn't reply since he had more things to worry about. Crimson was powering up another fireball. Before the blue hedgehog could move, Shadow ran at top speed at the dragon, sending a powerful punch to its stomach. The red dragon felt immense pain, and the fireball was released without much energy put in. Sonic knocked the fireball back at Crimson, inflicting slight damage; but he was still recovering from the powerful blow.
Soon enough, Crimson whacked his tail at Shadow's gut, sending flying into a wall, created a deep crater. "Shadow!" Sonic called to his friend, and ran over to help him. He held up the black hedgehog's head, and then was struck with a good idea. He pulled out his six Chaos Stones and handed Shadow three of them. Soon, the hedgehog's eyes flickered open, revealing even darker crimson eyes.
"Thanks, Sonic," Shadow said gratefully. Sonic nodded in reply and used his own three Chaos Stones, becoming a shinier blue and having lighter emerald eyes.
The two hedgehogs looked at the enemy dragon, who said, "You want to use my own creations against me? So be it."
The red dragon roared and a crimson jewel appeared on its forehead. It was slightly hear t shaped, and had a golden rim surrounding it. Crimson's eyes glowed and turned all white, and he began to change in the body as well.
His clawed hands grew, and the fingers shot out, becoming longer. The claws grew and dangerously bent. The tail became longer, starting to sprout sharp spikes on the sides. His neck grew longer, also sprouting sharp spikes on the sides. His wings grew larger, spreading to at least 20 feet long each. His teeth started to show, and soon, they became so long that his teeth were always bared.
Sonic backed away, gazing up at the dragon. "Wow, he really became one big booger."
"I'll say," Shadow replied, going into his fighting pose. Sonic followed suit.
They then shot their hands forward, shooting huge beams at Crimson. Crimson just stood there, and when blue and red beams were close enough, opened his mouth and swallowed the beams.
The red dragon licked his chops. "Nice and tasty," he rumbled.
"Uh-oh! That ain't good!" Sonic quietly said to Shadow.
"No kidding. Maybe we should try something different," the black hedgehog whispered back, his crimson eyes moving up and looking at the Crimson Ruby.
They ran forward, yelling. They both shot different colored beams rapidly at the red dragon. They hit Crimson, creating smoke around him. When the smoke cleared, Crimson was just sitting there, unharmed.
"WHAT?!" Shadow and Sonic shouted in unison.
"Ahahahahah! You think those puny beams could scratch me?" Crimson boomed, laughing.
"How're we gonna defeat him now?" Sonic asked himself. Then, he had an idea. He started whispering something to Shadow, and Shadow grinned, nodding.
Sonic started to run over to Crimson. "Yoo-hoo! Dragon breath, over here!" he taunted.
The red dragon roared angrily and started shooting fireballs at the now running hedgehog.
Meanwhile, Shadow stealthily ran up to Crimson, the dragon not noticing. He started floating in the air, and started powering up a powerful beam. As he ran, Sonic started levitating himself, still dodging the fireballs easily. Finally, when he was up to Shadow's level, the blue hedgehog began powering his own beam, stopping next to Shadow. When the red enemy turned around, two huge beams were shot at his forehead, making the Crimson Ruby disappear.
"NOOOOOOO!!!!!!!" Crimson cried as he started to revert to his normal state, becoming less powerful by the second.
Sonic and Shadow gave each other a high five, and then charged forward, knocking the defenseless Crimson in the wall. The dragon gave a final roar and fell, scraping against the wall. When he reached the ground, the dragon vanished. The Crimson Ruby reappeared, but not attached to anyone.
The blue and black hedgehogs looked each other, both with a slight smile on their faces. They reverted to their normal states, and Sonic picked up the Crimson Ruby. Both hedgehogs saw it glow brightly with the other Chaos Stones.
Sonic looked at his peer. "Well, Shadow, its time we head home," he said.
"Right," Shadow nodded.
Shadow used Chaos Control to take himself, Sonic, and the Chaos Stones back to the city. They reappeared atop a hill that showed a view of all of Station Square. They gazed out at the beautiful city, watching its nighttime lights flash here and there. They then turned to see that the mountains had vanished. They felt surprised, but figured that they disappeared because of Crimson's fall.
They raced down to Tails' apartment, Sonic holding the Chaos Stones in the bag. They made it to his room, and entered. Shadow waited outside the room, thinking that the young fox seeing him alive would put him in shock. Sonic entered, seeing that Tails was looking out the window, but he was weak, so he had to holding onto it.
"Hey, bud," Sonic said, smiling.
Tails' ears twitched, and he turned around. He smiled and yelled in happiness, running over to Sonic weakly. They hugged each other, and the bag in Sonic's pocket glowed. After that, Tails no longer felt weak, and felt better than ever. He wasn't able to hold back, so Tail held Sonic tighter. Shadow watched from the doorway, smiling.
He looked down at his green Chaos Emerald. He sighed happily, and made it disappear from his hand. It reappeared on Tails' counter beside his bed without them noticing it. Shadow closed his eyes, and disappeared from the doorway. Sonic turned to show Tails that Shadow was alive, but felt sudden disappointment and sadness when they saw that he was gone.
"Where'd he go?" Sonic asked himself.
"He probably wasn't the real one, he was maybe an angel to help you," Tails looked up at Sonic, smiling slightly.
The blue hedgehog looked down at the orange kitsune. His eyes filled with tears as he smiled too. He turned and saw the Chaos Emerald on Tails' counter. He walked over to it, picking it up. He smiled even more while the warm, salty tears fell down his cheeks.
"You're right Tails, you're right."
