Chapter 7 - The Ice Pheonix of Sloth and Pain
Shadow and Joz reached the surface of the water for a brief second before being pulled back down under it. Blue wasn't going to let them get away that easily. Blue threw Joz through the water and concentrated on Shadow. As he watched Blue chase after Shadow as he tried to get air, a plan formed in his head. In the water Blue had the advantage, but in the air…
Joz used his jet wing and grabbed Shadow. He then flew above the surface of the water and hovered in the air. He threw Shadow onto his back.
"Shadow I have a plan. He may have the advantage in the water but we have the advantage in the air", said Joz.
"And your point is", said Shadow.
"You lure Blue to the surface. I'll finish him off", said Joz. Shadow looked a little concerned.
"You sure you know what you're doing?" asked Shadow.
"Yes. Lure him towards the bottom and then swim as fast as you can straight up", said Joz. Shadow didn't quite get what he was planning but he did what Joz said.
Shadow lured Blue as far beneath the surface as possible and then suddenly shot straight up. Joz watched as Shadow shot into the air from the force. Joz grabbed Shadow and swung the hedgehog on his back. Blue soon followed, shooting up into the air exactly like what Joz wanted. Blue found himself above the bat that was preparing a strike with his sword. Blue tried to defend himself with his trident as he fell, but he couldn't find it.
Shadow had swiped his trident as Blue rose into the air. He held it up high and if Blue didn't do something quick he would fall straight on it. It happened to quickly for Blue to do anything and both Shadow and Joz struck the dead mermaid with their weapons. Blue fell to the water and before he reached the surface his body disintegrated into a Blue mist.
They knew they had won and soon found themselves inside the cyan emerald. It was very cold; the ice on the floor showed that. It was then Shadow realised something about these demons. Each had an element as well as a negative power. The Dragon was fire as well as anger and hate. The Half-fish was poison as well as disease and famine. The Dead Merman was water as well as Death and Corruption. No doubt their next demon was ice.
Sure enough, as the air got even more colder, a massive pheonix appeared in front of them. Although pheonixes are generally linked with fire this one was obviously linked with ice. Its wings were made of blue flames but it's body looked to be made of ice.
"I take it you're the next demon. Cyan is it?" asked Shadow.
"If you are to address me you should call me the Ice Pheonix of Sloth and Pain. Doing nothing and being lazy is the worst thing a person can do. The pain of being frozen in ice is the only punishment fit for those who do not move", said the Pheonix.
"Do any of you demons really expect us to call you by your official titles. I'm the Master hunter but I allow my friends to call me Joz just because it's easier", said Joz.
"You are no friend of ours. I'm surprised you made it past Red, Magenta and Blue. You must be incredibly skilled or maybe just incredibly lucky. Either way your luck has run out. Let's see you even make a hit when you're frozen solid", said Cyan.
Cyan flew off into the cyan mist above them. Shadow and Joz looked around frantically trying to find where the demon was. It wasn't long before it showed its face again. It quickly decended from the clouds and fired and intense cyan light beam. It hit Shadow and encased the chaos manipulater in Ice.
With Shadow frozen solid it was up to Joz. Joz tried another Jet strike but Cyan simply flew up. It was behind Joz now and preparing another freezing blast. Joz quickly turned and raised his armour wing shield. Cyan fired his freeze ray and Joz's wing became encased in Ice. The added weight made him lean to that side. Cyan finished Joz off by freezing his entire body, as Joz couldn't raise his other wing in time.
There they stood, both frozen solid by Cyan intense freeze ray.
"That was easy. Now Shadow, time for you to die", said Cyan preparing to knock Shadow over, to smash his frozen body in thousands of pieces.
