Chapter 14: The Shadow Defeated
Shadow Man looked forward at Ness, looking shocked. Ness looked back looking defiant.
"H.h.how...? Only...I could achieve...this power..." The Shadow Man simply looked at Ness, babbling in his speech.
"Then you obviously didn't watch enough cartoons. Remember? GOOD WINS OVER EVIL. You can't do jack, but come on. Face me anyway. I want to see this happen." Ness simply replied.
Suddenly the Shadow Man brought out a huge sword from nowhere and began belting on Ness with it. Ness simply brought his bat up to the attacks, jumped back at times, and kept blocking his attacks with his bat, which didn't even splinter. The Shadow Man was charging at Ness while Ness was dodging back with not the full use of his power. The Shadow Man got a strike in on his face. Everybody watched in pain, but the Shadow Man looked on it with glee. His expression changed to unbelieving as he realised that it had done absolutely jack squat.
"My, Shadow Man, we're missing something now, hey? You decided to use your power and try to kill us; I'm using mine to kill you. Now...EAT SUPERCHARGED WOOD!!"
Ness began swinging his bat like it was little more than a feather duster to him. He dodged every single swipe of his opponent's sword and still managed to belt the Shadow Man stupid. The Shadow Man realised this was a losing battle, and he needed a bargaining chip. And out of his eye, he saw the perfect target.
The Shadow Man quickly dodged back and grabbed Paula, sword to neck. "Stop, Ness! Or I'll kill her! I'll kill your girlfriend! I'll blow her body into a million pieces even YOU won't be able to fix her from!" the Shadow Man yelled at Ness. Ness stopped in his tracks, his bat about to swing.
"No! Ness! Don't listen to him! You have to save the world! No, the universe! Even if it is without me..." Paula yelled at Ness.
"Now Ness, listen to me carefully..." the Shadow Man taunted Ness. "Come out of PSI Charge Omega and drop your bat, and I'll leave her alone."
"NESS! Don't do it!" Paula screamed, but Ness wouldn't listen.
Ness dropped his bat, falling with a clatter onto the ground, and he powered down, his eyes stopping glowing.
"NESS!!" Paula screamed as loud as she could. "NO!!!!"
"Fine, I've done it." Ness said. "Now keep your promise, and leave the girl alone."
For some reason, the Shadow Man actually did that, and left Paula alone, Paula almost crying with shame.
"Come away from her! Fully! If you want to fight an unfair fight, do it with at least SOME dignity!"
Since the Shadow Man thought it couldn't hurt, he did so.
"Oh, Shadow Man, before I go, one last thing." Ness said to Shadow Man.
"What?"
A smirk on Ness' face appeared. "You just realise that you've made the stupidest mistake of your life, I presume, right?
"Wha...?"
Ness automatically recharged back into PSI Charge Omega.
"...GGGAAAHHHHH!!!!! HOW DID YOU DO...OOFF!!!" Shadow Man never finished that sentence as Ness' bat, glowing again, swung full force into his head, knocking him across the floor.
"Now, you've fought unfair, tried to kill my friends, and win this out? I think it's time to finish this game you and I have fought, Trigas. Once and for all."
The boy stretched his arms behind him. Power seeped into them as an energy attack formed through.
"...PSI SUPER ROCKIN' ALPHA!!!!"
Ness shot the energy beam forward and it rocketed right into the Shadow Man. If his bat alone can do that much damage. The PSI Super Rockin' (which is an upgraded version of the PSI Rockin') will hurt, and it will HURT!!
The Shadow Man watched his last glimpse of life as the attack blew into him, and knocked him into the air with pain. He landed on his stomach and faced the floor for a few minutes. Ness simply stared at him. Then the Shadow Man got up falling to his knees, and vomiting up blood. Soon, he fell over, and that seemed to be that.
Everyone celebrated. "ALRIGHT! SHADOW MAN IS FINALLY GONE!" Jeff yelled out, punching air in celebration. "It's over..." the Princess murmured. "It's finally over..." "I wish." Everyone turned at Ness, who'd just said that. "Why do you say that? Shadow Man is dead!" Poo asked him. "Shadow Man is dead, indeed. But there is something amiss. I can feel it. There's something not right...
Why does Ness feel something is not right? Is Shadow Man really dead? Is this the end? YOU BET IT'S NOT! Watch as the story reaches it's ULTIMATE climax! Watch out for the final chapter of EarthBound: The Attack of the Shadow Man!
