A/N: Sorry that this chapter was a little short. I didn't have too much to
do for it, so yeah. This is the second-to-last chapter, so expect this
story to come to an end soon. Enjoy the chapter.
Chapter 4: The Change
The two hedgehogs stood in front of each other, ready to fight. The two started staring each other down, waiting to see who throws the first punch. Night decided she'd go first and sent a punch to Shadow. The black hedgehog moved his head before it got hit and elbowed his opponent in the stomach, sending Night backwards slightly. She quickly recovered and attacked Shadow again. He was hit this time, but he suddenly shoved into Night with a lot of force, sending her to the ground.
"Not bad..." She said and got up. They started punching each other. Most of the attacks hit, but when they did, they'd continue fighting.
This continued for a while, and the wounds and blood amount grew. Finally, Shadow jumped back. He had taken most of the hits.
"What's wrong? Backing out now?" Night looked at him.
"No, just ending the punching that might of lasted forever," Shadow replied.
"Humph." Night quickly ran at Shadow, but before she could attack, Shadow disappeared. "What? Where..." The purple hedgehog looked around for her target, seeing that he wasn't in her sight.
"Right here." Shadow appeared behind her and kicked her in the back. Night was sent forward, to the ground.
Night coughed and wiped a bit of blood from her lips. "You're good..." She got up and faced Shadow. "But not good enough." Some greenish energy appeared in both of her hands. Shadow raised his eyebrows, interested.
When the energy had grown a bit, Night held her hands forward, sending out a HUGE beam of energy at Shadow. Shadow held his ground, and when the beam was right about to hit him, he vanished again. The beam disappeared, and Shadow was no where to be found.
Night crossed her arms. "I guess he's gone."
"Wrong again." When Night turned to see the source of the voice, she felt Shadow's lips meet hers. Her eyes went wide in surprise, and warmth overcame her. But the remaining cold in her made her quickly pull away.
"How dare you..." Night growled fiercely.
"Just trying to see if you can become good, that's all," Shadow said.
The purple hedgehog went silent. See if she could become good? What were this black hedgehog's intentions? Night didn't get it at all. She had hurt him earlier, why did he offer her another chance?
Night turned away from Shadow and disappeared.
'She's actually going to consider,' Shadow thought. He started walking to Sonic's unconscious body.
"Very good, it seems you've gotten rid of my creation," said a voice.
Shadow stopped and turned to see Ares, standing on a platform above him. "And you are?" The black hedgehog asked.
"I am Ares, and as I said before, I am the creator of Project Night," the man answered.
"Hm." Was all Shadow said.
"And since Night has failed me, I will have to use my secret weapon." Ares snapped his fingers and the floor opened up under Shadow. The hedgehog jumped away from the gap in the ground as a robot emerged from the gap. When it was fully shown, the hole closed and Ares jumped in.
"This is my secret weapon, X Night. It is a robot so powerful it can wipe out a city in a single punch. If you want to life longer, I suggest you run," Ares sneered.
"Maybe when hell freezes over, I don't back down from a challenge!" Shadow said, looking up at the robot.
"Very well, but have your grave ready," Ares grinned and the robot's eyes glowed bright red and activated, ready to destroy its first target.
