The 3 Shadows, Final Episode - Ultimate Life

Chapter 3 - Shadow meets his match

Shadow had no difficulty getting through his tunnel. He simply used the Chaos control technique to warp to the end. Although when he got there he heard a loud computerised voice.

"Chaos Manipulation detected, sending subject back to the start of Shadow tunnel", said the voice.

"What the?" asked Shadow before falling down a hole that appeared beneath him. He slid across a tube and found himself back at the start of the tunnel.

"No Chaos control huh? You could've warned me", shouted Shadow angrily. He began the course again jumping from platform to platform and avoiding the flames.

Meanwhile Miles reached the end of his tunnel to find himself at a dead end. He looked up and saw the next part of his journey was a flying part. He span his tails like helicopter rotor blades and proceed up along the tunnel. He couldn't see anyway of making it to the top as he started to feel tired. Then he saw what he should've been aiming for. A small button that would hopefully extend some sort of platform for him. He decided to fall to the floor slowly and try again when he had the energy.

Joz meanwhile was halfway down his tunnel and suddenly the floor collapsed. He jumped up and grabbed the nearby wall. It was too thin to fly along so he moved across the wall. He then realised the corridor was getting smaller, the opposite wall was moving in to crush him. He jumped from wall to wall hoping to make the end of the tunnel before he got crushed.

Shadow found himself at the end again and walked through into the light. He was in a rather large room with a balcony at the end. Under the balcony was a capsule of some sort, with something inside it. A shutter closed behind him preventing escape from the room through the way he came.

"Welcome Shadow. You're just in time for the unveiling", said Gerald.

"Unveiling?" asked Shadow.

"Yes, believe me you're in for a treat. Shadow do you remember what the point of Project Shadow was?" asked Gerald.

"Duh! It was to create the Ultimate lifeform. An unbeatable weapon that would crush those the would oppose GUN, or something that would help make life better on Earth if you had your way", said Shadow, "The old you that is".

Correct. Well let's just say I finally finished the project. When I started the project I made you, a being that could use the Chaos emeralds for good. You were designed to be the ultimate hero and ironically that's what happened. GUN of course opposed the idea strongly and I was told to create the most powerful creature ever made. I started work on the Biolizard but it was a disaster. The prototype needed a life support machine just to move. Although strong and powerful with skin tough enough to handle anything, GUN and myself didn't like the idea of the ultimate lifeform having such an obvious weakness. The Biolizard still exists but it's trapped on ARK. Only my command can free it. Then GUN decided to terminate my project and, to save their reputation, have everyone that knew anything about the project killed. Only you and I remain from the Project and since then while I've tried to get revenge you've always stopped me. Being the hero I always wanted you to be turned against me. Soon I realised however that I was indeed right the first time. You were never perfect Shadow but now I've created something that is like you but superior in every way. Soon I will awaken him and let him destroy you. Meanwhile I'll use my latest weapon to take out Miles and then Joz. By now they'll be entering their death chambers meeting the things I prepared for them. For you however I give you the new and improved ultimate lifeform. His spikes are streamlined and he needs no air skates to reach the sound barrier. His super form and Chaos manipulation skills are much stronger than yours are. Finally its mind is programmed like a robot, loyal to me and programmed to destroy everything else.

The water in the capsule started to sink through a hole. When all the water was gone the creature inside could be seen. It was blue, its spikes pointed downwards and it looked a lot like Shadow. His eyes opened to reveal his red eyes. The creature smiled back.

"You're the first thing I'm going to destroy. You look like a crappy version of me", said the creature. Shadow folded his arms and sighed.

"So this is what you call a superior version of me? Ha! Listen faker, there's only room for one Ultimate lifeform, me!" said Shadow. Gerald moved towards a door next to the balcony.

"As much as I'd love to stay and watch him tear you apart Shadow, I have a fox and a bat to kill. Go get him Sonic the Hedgehog", said Gerald leaving through the door.

The Blue Hedgehog Sonic dashed at Shadow at a tremendous speed. Shadow wasn't fazed and dashed towards the Sonic. Thus beginning the Ultimate fight.
