Chapter 5 - The Power of Poison
Miles' attention suddenly turned to the Emeralds as he noticed the energy anomoly switch from the Red Chaos Emerald to the Magenta one. If he was correct somehow Shadow was being warped between the emeralds. This was a lucky break as he managed to record the event that allowed him to study it later. Hopefully I can find a way to bring you out of there Shadow.
Meanwhile Shadow found himself in a purple mist. Just like in the Red Emerald he could see nothing but the purple mist. This time however the floor felt different. In the Red Emerald it felt like normal Earth. This time the floor was marshlike. As Shadow lifted his foot off the floor he found his air shoes covered in sticky purple goo.
This added to the stench in the air made his stomach turn. He swallowed back some bile and shouted out.
"Hello. Magneta Demon? Whatever you are. It's me Shadow. Let's finish this quick, this place makes me sick", said Shadow.
Just then a huge green monster fell from the sky (if you can call it that). It stood up, twice as tall as Shadow. It had big black orbs for eyes and it seemed almost fish like.
"Welcome Shadow. I am the Half fish of Famine and Disease. I must warn you that I am stronger than Hate and Anger", said the Monster
"I would like to say pleased to meet you but I'd be lying. Disease huh? No wonder this place feels like it's been poisoned", said Shadow.
"Think what you want Hedgehog. I love this place. The stench of death is somewhat comforting for me. Although it's better when the death is fresh and real. Like what you're about to become", said the Half fish monster quickly dashing towards Shadow and then strangely disappearing.
"What the? Where did you go?" asked Shadow. The Half fish punched Shadow in the back and Shadow fell to the floor.
"Right behind you Hedgehog", said the Half fish monster
Meanwhile outside the Emeralds in Miles Lab, Miles had made a discovery.
"Joz come here quick", shouted Miles. Joz dashed towards Miles who was sitting at a computer.
"What is it?" asked Joz.
"I've managed to work out how Shadow is moving between Emeralds. He recently moved from the red one to the magenta one. I don't know why, perhaps you can find out for me", said Miles.
"Huh? What are you talking about Miles?" asked Joz confused.
"I can't bring Shadow out of the Emeralds but I can put you in to help him", said Miles.
"Wouldn't you be better for this than me? In case you don't remember Shadow hates me ever since he found out about my secret", said Joz.
"I would be better but I need to stay outside. Someone has to monitor the situation further", said Miles, "And I feel I'm better suited to that than you".
"I see your point. Ok send me in", said Joz.
Inside the Magenta Emerald the fight between the Half fish monster and Shadow was heating up. Even though the only punch between the two came from the Half fish monster. Shadow tried to attack it but it kept on disappearing and reppearing behind him. Strangely the Half fish monster refused to hurt Shadow. Although Shadow was not getting hurt he felt his energy being drained out of him. Shadow fell to the ground, panting heavily. He was too weak to continue. The Half fish monster walked over to Shadow.
"How Pathetic! With all I've heard about your speed I thought you would've at least hit me once", said the Half fish monster.
"What's going on? Why am I getting weaker when you aren't even hitting me?" asked Shadow.
"Oh that's my special technique. The air you're breathing is gradually making you weaker. I chose not to attack cause I knew the fumes would do the job eventually. All I had to do was avoid your attacks", said the Half fish monster.
"Very clever", said Shadow.
"Now Shadow, Time to die", said the Half fish monster preparing to finish Shadow off. Shadow sighed, is this it?
