Sorry for the lack of updates. I try and update every night but sometimes things happen. Like last night when I suddenly found myself still online at 1am.
It also looks like this will be 12 chapters long. I try and keep it to 10 chapters an episode, occasionally spilling into an 11th.

Chapter 10 - Is it really you…?
Joz jumped towards the unicorn about to quickly strike it down but suddenly found himself frozen in the air. A translucent yellow orb surrounded Joz who looked to be frozen in place.
"What's going on?" asked Joz.
"Fully charged excellent! I'm going to enjoy devouring your energy bat", said Yellow.
Shadow watched on as the unicorn drained Joz of his energy. Joz struggled to get free but after a while he just stopped moving completely. Then the orb disappeared and Joz fell to the ground. Joz lay on the floor unconscious. Shadow stood up, still hurt after facing the Green imposters.
"What did you do to him?" asked Shadow.
"Absorbed all his energy. He has nothing left but a tiny amount to keep him alive", said Yellow.
"Nice technique but I won't fall for it now that I've seen it", said Shadow.
"No need. I can sense that you have very little energy left yourself", said Yellow.
Yellow was telling the truth. If he was going to do something he would have to do it quickly. Or he could sit for a while and recover. Shadow sat on the floor and rested for, as long a Yellow would let him. It was surprisingly long.
"Why aren't you attacking me?" asked Shadow.
"You living creatures have the ability to recharge your energy by resting. Go on rest, I'll devour your new recharged energy soon enough", said Yellow.
Shadow was confused but then he thought about the nature of the other demons. Each was a representation of a sin or other negative power. Red made him angry on purpose, Magenta poisoned him, and so on. Yellow was Greed and Gluttony, it only cared about fulfilling his needs. I can use this to my advantage.
Shadow fully rested stood up again. Ready to face Yellow.
"Ah! Nice to see you fully recharged Shadow", said Yellow.
Shadow smiled and headed off towards the unconscious Joz. Joz started to move again but it was obvious he was still weak. Shadow took the Annemuir and looked at him. Joz nodded in approval and Shadow ran as far from Yellow as possible.
"You want my energy Yellow. Come and get me", shouted Shadow grasping the sword tightly. Yellow ran towards Shadow and full speed.
"It's useless Shadow. You can't hide from me here", said Yellow.
Shadow did not move and Yellow galloped closer and closer. Then when Yellow was close enough and at full speed he lunged the sword forward. Yellow tried to stop itself but couldn't and ended up impaling itself on the blade.
"You see during your charging run you let your guard down. So desperate for my energy you'd do anything for it, no matter what the consequences was", said Shadow as Yellow burst into a yellow mist.
Joz soon found himself full of energy again. He sprang to his feet as Shadow handed his blade back to him. Then they both warped to the final Emerald. Grey.
Grey had no distinctive features. It's didn't seem to have a floor they could see. Besides the grey mist it was empty. When the 2 Shadows had arrived, they had been split up.
Shadow wandered through the grey mist until he saw a figure. It was a familiar shape although he didn't indentify it until it called out to him.
"Shadow?" said a familiar feminine voice.
"It can't be", said Shadow.
He ran towards the figure and sure enough it was who he thought it was.
It was Maria.
