Chapter 18
Sonic tightened his grip of the emerald.
"I'm not gonna let you get it pal! So you should just forget it and run back to your master!" he yelled.
The DX 100 suddenly launched itself at Sonic, at high speed. It caught him slightly off guard. The DX 100 punched him hard on the cheek with such force that Sonic hurtled and crashed into the wall of one of the nearby cliffs. The wall gave way and dust and dirt flew everywhere. The wall collapsed as Sonic hit it. It left a huge pile of rubble and Sonic was trapped underneath it.
The chaos emerald had slipped from Sonic's grip and had landed on the grass. The DX 100 slowly walked toward it, it's hand stretching out ready to pick it up. Suddenly a strange flash zoomed past the robot. The DX 100 blinked and then realised the emerald had disappeared. It then heard a whistle from behind him.
"I'm over here!" a voice called out.
The DX 100 turned around and it's eyes, once again, glowed a dark red. There stood Shadow, tossing the emerald in his hand. The bruises on his face were still there but weren't as worse as before. However the bruise on his neck was still as bad and looked sore. His cuts had healed though. He seemed alright.
"Looking for this?" he said in a mocking tone, holding up the emerald.
Just then Sonic emerged from the rubble, causing dust to unsettle again. Sonic was covered in dirt and dust and had a nasty gash on his cheek He coughed and rubbed the dirt from his eyes.
"Sonic!" he heard. Sonic looked up and saw Shadow standing just ahead of him.
"Shadow! You're OK!" he yelled.
"Just about" Shadow replied.
Suddenly the DX 100's engines began to whir loudly. Shadow didn't waste anytime.
"Sonic! We can't fight him but we can still stop him from getting the emerald!" he yelled and, clutching the emerald, ran over the wide area of land. The DX 100 chased him. Sonic stood up and dusted himself down quickly.
Shadow ran rather zig zaggedly (if that's a word! Lol) away from the DX 100. He was soon running towards Sonic again.
"Sonic catch!" he yelled and threw the emerald to Sonic as he ran past. Sonic caught it and ran. The DX 100 screeched it's brakes, turned around and flew after Sonic. Shadow stopped by the broken cliff wall and watched the two blurs carefully. He saw Sonic doing the same twisty running movements and soon saw that he was heading back toward him. He saw the light bounce off the emerald as Sonic threw it in the air.
Shadow managed to catch it. He looked up and saw that the DX 100 had gone.
Sonic stopped just in front of Shadow.
"Where is it?" Shadow asked.
"I don't know! I looked behind me and he'd just vanished!" Sonic exclaimed. He turned to face Shadow.
"Anyway we've got the emerald now so we better get it back to Tails' place." He said. Shadow was rather sceptical. That robot couldn't just give up. It must be hiding.
Just then the DX 100 reappeared in front of them and was zooming at them (as he had done to Shadow before). Shadow had kept his guard but Sonic had a shorter reaction time and didn't notice right away.
"Sonic! Look out!" Shadow yelled and jumped at Sonic, pushing him out of the DX 100's path. The DX 100 smashed into the cliff. The two hedgehogs landed, not too far away, on the grass.
"Shadow..you just –"
"I know. Grab my arm."
Sonic did so and Shadow held up the emerald.
"Chaos control!" he yelled and the two disappeared in a flash.
