The 3 Shadows, Episode 5 - Chaos Theory
Chapter 4 - Rage is a terrible thing.
The Red Dragon flew high into the red mist above them. Shadow looked around the area to see any signs of the demon. It soon showed itself as it fired its fire breath at Shadow. Shadow quickly dodged it and tried a Chaos Spear. To his horror he found that it didn't work no matter how hard he tried. He then tried a Chaos Control and found that he could warp either. Something was wrong with his Chaos manipulation skills. The Red Dragon smashed it's long tail into Shadow sending him flying in the opposite direction. After several miles of slying through the air, Shadow's body found itself being dragged along the ground by the force of the Dragon's attack. Shadow got up and noticed the dragon had drawn first blood.
"Nice attack. It seems that I can't manipulate Chaos in here", said Shadow, "I'm actually inside a Chaos Emerald and I can't use it's energy".
"Didn't take you long to figure that one out. Without your Chaos Manipulation skills you are nothing Shadow", said the Red Dragon
"You think so huh?" asked Shadow smiling. Shadow ran towards the Red Dragon at the speed of sound. Shadow launched himself towards the dragon and started punching it.
Punch, kick, punch, kick, Shadow kept attacking the dragon for half a minute then smashed it to the ground with his fists. The Dragon smashed face first into the ground. Shadow dropped to the ground and folded his arms.
"How did you like that dragon?" asked Shadow. The Red Dragon got back up onto its feet. It wiped something that looked like blood from its mouth.
"Not bad! Tell me where did you learn how to punch? From Maria? You punch like a girl", said the Red Dragon. Shadow responded in a rage.
"How dare you speak her name", shouted Shadow angrily.
"Why? She was nothing special. Just another weak pathetic girl", said the Red Dragon.
"You know nothing about Maria dragon", said Shadow.
"I know she was weak. How she was killed by a single bullet. How she depended on you to save her and you let her down", said the Red Dragon.
"Enough Dragon. One more word about Maria and I'll make sure you'll never say anything ever again", said Shadow.
"Face it Shadow she was weak and pathetic. She was a worthless creature that died they way all-weak creatures should", said the Red Dragon.
Shadow ran full speed at the Dragon who flew up into the air and smashed Shadow with it's tail. As Shadow flew away the Red Dragon fired a fireball at him. Shadow quickly recovered, dodged the fireball and tried another attack. Again the Dragon countered. This went on for quite a while until Shadow failed to get back up. The Red Dragon walked over to Shadow. He saw him lying face down on the floor.
"That was Easy", said the Red Dragon, "I thought Shadow would put up quite a fight but then he didn't have his Chaos manipulation skills"
Shadow wasn't knocked out though. He was planning his next move and tried to understand why he couldn't hit the Dragon. He hated him so much; he made him so angry. Then he realised that was the problem. The Dragon was making him angry on purpose. His rage made him lose focus on the fight. His rage made his attacks completely offensive and so he dropped his guard. Shadow got up and turned to the Red Dragon.
"I see what you did. Very Clever. By making me angry I lose focus and become an easy target for countering", said Shadow, "But now I know your trick it won't work again"
"Indeed. I am the Red Dragon of Anger and Hate. My technique is to make you angry so you drop your guard. But I'm not bothered that you know because you're already too weak to continue", said the Red Dragon.
"Haven't you learned yet?" asked Shadow.
He dashed towards the Red Dragon, who put up his guard. Shadow jumped over the dragon and kicked him in the back of his head. As the Dragon turned Shadow launched another wave of attacks finishing with a kick. He dashed towards the Red Dragon, who was flying in the opposite direction and kept attacking it before it could recover.
"Don't", said Shadow punching him in the face, "Underestimate", he continued kicking him the stomach, "me", finishing him off with spin attack into his chest. The Red Dragon crashed into the ground face first. Shadow finished off the Red Dragon by spin attacking him in the back. The Dragon didn't move and Shadow suddenly disappeared.
