Chapter 9:
Entrapment
Sonic and Shadow were showing amazing displays of endurance and Speed. They shot back and forth for hours, continuously clashing, sending out sparks of energy. They were titans clashed before the very eyes of Tails, Rouge, and Tikal.
Tikal was becoming devastatingly tired, now only blocking. Tails and Rouge had their share of exhaust, but there were two of them, and only one of Tikal. So they had the upper advantage. A punch there and a kick here showed Tikal that she was beginning to loose, and would soon be too exhausted to even curl her hand into a fist. The swift kicks from Rouge were too much for her. Nobody could take that much of a beating, and still be living for that matter.
What the two teams colliding, the Sonic team and Team Chaos, didn't know was that another battle was ensuing millions of miles above their heads. Chaos Control had caused them to send themselves many miles above the earth, to finish their battle. The one problem with fighting in the regions of space was that there was no air. But not when you are in Super mode. All that could be seen from Earth were two very, VERY, faint glimpses of light shooting back and forth at each other. Chaos was glowing a bright red, showing off his power of destruction, and Knuckles was emitting a white light. Showing that he was the sign of good. The shot through space, not stopping, their ring supply was endless, being they could both summon rings in their advanced forms. They threw punches faster than even Sonic could run. All that could be seen, if you were able to see them, was a wave of fists clashing at each other.
Super Knuckles, and Super Chaos were not people to mess with. Chaos already had a short fuse, while Knuckles was lethal with his fists. The powers that they had been now multiplied ten fold, being able to withstand long battles, with a lot of endurance. Nothing but rage surged through Knuckles' body. He wanted Tikal, and Chaos dead before he rested, even if it killed himself. Knuckles was to protect the Chaos Emeralds, but now was fighting for the world. If he lost this battle, nothing but Chaos would run the world, destroying everything in its path.... But Knuckles' wouldn't let that happen.
"CHAOS!" Knuckles yelled as both their fists met and they flew backwards. "YOU ARE BECOMING EXHAUSTED, I CAN SEE IT IN YOU!" He was hollering as loud as he possibly could, not knowing the limits of space. "YOU WILL LOOSE!" Knuckles jumped forwards, kicking his feet off the nothingness of space. Chaos followed, appearing next to Knuckles. Their speed was so fast; it was as if you could not even see them moving. Like they were warping.
"YOU WON'T WIN ECHIDNA." Chaos screamed as their fists met once again. "I REFUSE TO LOOSE. I HAVE NOT YET MET MY MAKER, AND I DON'T INTEND TO." He was trying to psyche Knuckles out, but it was not working. Knuckles' concentration was way too high to fall for this trick, and plus, his rage was blocking everything Chaos threw at him. Another burst of energy came to them, as they shot at each other, their fists meeting in the middle. A large burst of energy came into this attack, as all the stars shook in their spots from the blast.
"TAKE THIS!" Knuckles yelled. His hand lit a flame, and it contacted with Chaos', which burned him instantly. He withdrew as Knuckles lit his other, and scorched Chaos' face, trying to gain the advantage while he still could. Knuckles took his share of attacks, but Chaos had the most of it. They panted heavily as their rings stock grew lower. It took energy to summon rings, which they didn't have. They needed to get back to earth before their rings were gone, and they turned back to normal. In which would rip their insides out, and they would die.
"We have to get to Earth." Knuckles said to Chaos. He looked at Knuckles, and no matter how much he didn't like it, Knuckles was right. They met each other at the center of their battlefield, then closing their eyes. One blast of light, and they were shooting through the sky, towards the battlefield they were once on. They were moving extra fast, but that did not stop them. The emeralds floated around them in a circle, which provided little room for them to even move. Fists flew at both of them dodging each other easily. As they fell towards earth, they were unaware of the battle continuing within the walls of Eggquarters.
"Tikal, give up!" Rouge yelled across the room as Tikal struggle to stand. "I don't want to kill you, but I will if I must." She was filled with rage, not even caring if she had to take Tikal's life. It was what she needed to do.
"I won't give up." She muttered through her heavy panting. Her fists hang by her sides, limp, as if they were broken. She made an attempt to raise them, but could not. Rouge had won, but Tikal would not admit it.
"Will you now?" Rouge yelled again.
"No." She hollered, still trying to raise her fists. Rouge closed her eyes with rage as Tikal swung around, and raised her foot to meet Tails' face. He flew backwards, after giving quite a battle, and was unconscious.
"LITTLE GUY!" Rouge hollered to Tails, but he could not hear her, for he was out like a light. Rouge jumped forwards, and met her foot against Tikal's face. She fell backwards as Rouge continued to run. Jumping into the air, Tikal gained her ground slowly, but surely. Rouge pulled off one of Sonic's moves, kicking off the wall, and then shooting back at Tikal. Rouge twirled around, and then swung her foot down to meet Tikal's skull. She fell backwards again, but she was not getting up this time. Rouge landed on her feet, crouching to the ground, extremely upset. Tikal's spine had shattered, sending her to the ground, but the most damage had occurred right atop her head. He skull had cracked open from the smash of Rouge's foot. At least Tikal was now out of the way.
"YAAAAAAAAAAAAH!" Chaos and Knuckles screamed as they entered the room. The flash of light ricocheted off the walls, causing everybody left besides Chaos and Knuckles to shield their eyes. They met, grappling as the light faded, teeth gritting. Knuckles threw his forearm upwards, smashing it against Chaos' chin, leaving him in pain. Fury surged in Chaos as well as Knuckles, but Chaos had the advantage. The emeralds appeared around him (Except for the one that Knuckles had of course), and a beam appeared above him. It shot towards Knuckles, but this was the opportunity Knuckles had been waiting for.
"ENTRAPMENT!" Knuckles forced his last breath out of him, the Master Emerald appeared in his hand, and despair filled Chaos' face instantly. The beam, and Chaos were instantly gone, now being sealed within the core of the Master emerald. Knuckles quickly changed back to his normal form, his red locks showing now, and fell face forwards onto the ground exhausted. The Chaos Emeralds that Chaos had left behind fell to the ground in a circle, the green emerald joining them. Chaos was defeated. Now all that was left was the affair of Shadow.
