Part 2
When she finally came out of her unconsciousness, Dark Magician Girl started to pick herself off of the ground. As soon as she was on her feet, the young female magician looked around at her surroundings and found herself looking at what appears to be modern-looking buildings.
"Wh...What just happened to me?" She thought to herself as she continued to scan her new surroundings with her eyes. "I was just in the middle of my own world, trying to examine a mysterious green gem stone with a very strong and unusual power. Now I'm somewhere in what appears to be the modern world of where the pharaoh is currently taking residence in. Wherever and whatever this place appears to be, it doesn't seem too friendly."
And she was right to be frighten a bit for when she took a closer at her new surroundings. The modern-looking place appeared to be a bit frighten for the young magician as if she were a child that was scared of the dark. Despite on how the beautifully the light of the moon shines on the town that she's in, Dark Magician Girl can plainly see that it wasn't a safe place to be walking around in.
"Despite being a monster from another world who's lived for countless centuries, a place like this could still send shivers up my body," the young blonde female thought as she kept her eyes on the surroundings before a thought struck her head while immediately turning her eyes towards the gem stone that's still in the palm of her hand. "That entity I heard in my mind. It said that this stone would send me to a world that is similar to the pharaoh's modern world, but different. Whatever this place is, I don't think that I would have the help of my master or the pharaoh for this. I guess that means that until I've finished the mission set out for me, I'm on my own. Now what...?"
Before she could have the chance to finish the rest of her thoughts, Dark Magician Girl suddenly started to hear a loud explosion from the distance. The young magician turned and saw a huge cloud of smoke coming from a place near a huge towering building. She also heard the horrified screams of people coming from the same place that she saw. That was when she felt a force starting to send shivers up her spine.
"This force that I'm feeling, it's strong," the female magician thought to herself, "Not only that, but the power that it's emitting is not only strong but filled with dark and pure evil. Well, whether I'd be serving the pharaoh or my master or not, I just can't let innocent people get hurt. I'd have to put an end to whatever is causing this disturbance."
With those thoughts done, Dark Magician Girl soon began to concentrate her mind in order to literally lift herself off of the ground as she levitated into the air. Then she started to fly to the source of the disturbance that she's been seeing from the distance. But just as soon as she began to fly into that direction, the female magician soon found herself surrounded to what appears to be an army of demons.
These demons all have identical gray horns as well as sharp claws. Dark Magician Girl also noticed that each of the demons have their own red-colored pair of black eyes. They also have wide and huge wings that have the same color as their skin. As for their faces, the teeth seen on them would be a one month trip to the dentist everyday. They were unlike the demons that she had ever faced for when the pharaoh summoned her to do battle with them.
"Looks like I've found the source of the disturbance," the female magician thought to herself as she looked and saw herself being surrounded by these dangerous looking creatures as they began to close in on her. "I guess that these must be some of the agents of the powerful creature that the entity spoke of while I was traveling to this world. I'd better take care of them before they cause any harm to the people of this world."
As soon as she was finished with her thoughts, Dark Magician Girl began to confidently face the ever approaching demons that were almost within her distance. She then began to materialize her magic staff in her hands just before she pointed it to the closest demon near her while shouting, "Dark Magic Attack!!"
When the two Monsters finally arrived while in their human forms, Kanzel and Mazenda both began to look around to see exactly where they both are. The area that the two of them were in looked to be appear like they were in the middle of the woods when the day finally turned into night. The only difference that they both saw was the light posts as well the metal benches and tables that it shone over.
"This is suppose to be the boy's world?" Mazenda said to her partner as she continued to look around the area that they were in. "It doesn't seem very impressive. It still looks much like our own world to me, Kanzel."
"Don't let the appearance of this place fool you, Mazenda," the male Monster said to Mazenda as he sighed with annoyance while pointing to a nearby street lamp that's near to what appears to be a street filled with buildings. "From the looks of this place, I'd say that we're both in the right place. Now all we got to do is either find the boy by blending in with the humans of this world or just lure him out by attacking these people."
"But if that human boy, Miguel, is as concern about the safety of these pathetic humans as Parasite says he is," the female Monster said to Kanzel while still being entranced by the sight of the buildings. "Then there's no need for the two of us to start causing havoc on this world so soon. I think that the two of us should just take our time by trying to blend in with this world while at the same time learning about this world's modern techniques."
"Hee! Hee! Hee! Well, for once you have a point, Mazenda," Kanzel said with a smirk on his human face as he noticing a group of people that consists of males all clothed in leather near a table made of stone, "I think that the two of us should learn as much as we can about this world before we start to create a little havoc. I think that the two of us should start by outfitting ourselves with the proper attire."
While being curious about what her partner was going on about, Mazenda began to eye on the group in black leather clothes. She then started to smile for when she realize about the thought that her partner was having. They both began to walk over to the group of young people as they tried to act casually as much as possible. When the two of them finally reached the group, a young human male with black sunglasses, purple hair, and spiked leather looked at the two of them with disgust.
"Yo, weird asses! What do you two punks want?" the male asked both human like Monsters as two of his companions joined him. "Don't the two of you realize that Halloween is over? Do the two of you want to start picking a fight with us?"
"You boys could say that," Mazenda with a smile as she winked at them, "The two of us would like to burrow some of the clothes that you boys are wearing. We've left ours at home."
As soon as the female Monster finished her words, the entire gang began to howl with delight and excitement.
"Well, if you're going to be feisty about it babe," the leader of the group began to say with a tone of delight in his voice, "then why don't you just dump that guy over there and come with us? I promise you that you'll have a good time with us."
As soon as the young boy finished his sentence, both Mazenda and Kanzel began to chuckle which turned into a roaring laughter a moment later.
"Yo! What's up with you two?" asked the leader as he and his entire gang began to take out their weapons of many variety. "Are you two some kind of psychos or something? What the hell is a matter with you two?"
As if to respond to the his question, the two Monsters soon calmed their laughter in order to face the entire gang with their grinning evil faces.
"What we're laughing at is you pathetic fools," Kanzel answered as he eyed the leader and his group with glowing green eyes. "Do you honestly believe that you are all a match for us?"
"Well, I guess that we're going to have to teach these fools a lesson for when they decided to mess with us," Mazenda added as her eyes began to glow with a crimson light in them.
"Yo! What are you two punks doing?!" the leader of the gang shouted to them as the two Monster's began to transform into their true forms.
As soon as both he and Shadow made it to the Valley Indoor Swap Meet, Miguel began to immediately scan the area just to be sure that no one was in the area to see them suddenly appearing out of nowhere without an explanation. He also noticed that they were on the parking lot of that was near the huge building.
"Good, no one's in the area, so we're clear," he said to the Ultimate Life Form as he took in a breath of air for the moment. "Now all we have to do is to split up and find whatever is causing the huge surge of energy that's causing your stone to react with energy."
"I think that the task of finding the source is going to be easier than we thought it's going to be because look," Shadow said as Miguel saw the black hedgehog pointing his finger to a cloud of smoke being emitted by orange flames.
"Well, that sort of makes things a bit easier for us to search for the source of the energy that we're looking for. Hee! Hee! Hee!" the young teen responded with a slight chuckle before turning serious again. "Anyway, that smoke seems to be coming from the park. If the two of us just follow it, we'll be able to find the source and stop whoever is causing the damage."
While seeing a nod on Shadow's head, Miguel was about to walk towards the area when he soon noticed the black hedgehog stopping in his tracks. He also noticed the black hedgehog starting to take the green gemstone out of the secret holding compartment on his shoe.
"Shadow, what is it?" the teen asked as he saw Shadow holding the stone in another direction away from the smoke where it emitted a powerful brilliance of pink light from the distant.
"The stone is picking up the energy's source from another direction, Miguel," the black hedgehog responded to him as Miguel saw him pointing the stone back towards the smoke. "It looks to me that there appears to be more than one source emitting the energy that we're picking up from my stone. It appears to me that we're going to have to split up in order to find these sources."
"Well, if that's the way it's got to be, then so be it," Miguel said to his outer worldly friend as he faced the direction where he saw the smoke being emitted from the park. "I'll go to the park and check things out from over there and try take care of it. Shadow, you'd better go to check out that other source and see what you could do about it. Just be sure that you don't let the people of this world see you, okay?"
"Hey, you forget that my name's Shadow, Miguel," the Ultimate Life Form said while giving a smirk on his serious-looking face. "Those people wouldn't be able to see me even if they have 20/20 vision. Now, let's get this show on the road."
As soon as the black hedgehog said those words, Miguel began to see him glide himself on the pavement with ease and began fade within the shadows. The teen then found himself all alone while facing the direction where he saw the smoke erupting into the sky.
"Whatever caused that fire, it felt pretty powerful," Miguel thought to himself as he continued to stare at the raising smoke. "I'd better warp over there using the Chaos Control before the police do and start pointing fingers at the wrong person. Well, here it goes."
"Chaos Control!" the teen shouted with the Star Sword still in his hand as he soon found himself traveling through a tunnel of emerald-colored light before arriving to his destination.
When he safely landed on the grass, Miguel began to see nothing but smoke and fire engulfing the trees around him. The heat emitted by the flames crawled up his skin as they continued to burn with their orange light. Then he began to raise his hand with the mystical weapon towards the air before shouting out, "Ice Wave!"
Before long, when he threw his silver blade towards the flames, a wave of what appears to be blue energy started to jump out of the Star Sword's blade and charged towards the blazing trees like really fast snakes on the ground. As soon as the blue light came into contact with the flames, it began to burst into giant icicle crystals. When those ice crystals appeared, Miguel saw the huge flames being reduced to nothing but embers for when they came into contact with the ice. As soon as the fire began to dissipate into nothing but smoke, the teen began to look around frantically for the source responsible for the fire while preparing his weapon for a sneak attack.
"Damn! I just missed them," Miguel thought to himself as he began to concentrate on trying to find any sources of Chaos Energy while lowering the Star Sword's blade. "Whatever they were, they must've sensed me and ran off as soon as I tried to get here. If only I've arrived sooner, then maybe I could've gotten a close look at who or what caused this fire. They don't seem to emit a large or even a speck of Chaos Energy on their beings meaning that trying to detect them is totally useless.
Oh, well. At least that no one was in the area at this hour so no innocent bystander could get hurt or killed. Now to see if Shadow has better luck with dealing with the other source on his own than I did. Well, time to make a like a banana and split before the local authorities arrive."
With that thought done in his mind, Miguel began to place his free hand onto the smooth surface of the Star Sword's silver blade and shouted, "Chaos Control!"
As soon as he shouted those words, the teen once again found himself traveling through the green tunnel between time and space before arriving to where he might find his black hedgehog friend.
"Did you just see that, Kanzel?" Mazenda asked her male partner as the two of them watched the boy with the huge and unusually crafted sword vanished from their sights from within the world's astral plane.
"I certainly did, Mazenda," the male Monster replied to his partner's words with a amazed tone in his voice. "That boy was able to put out those flames with the wave of that sword of his. He must be the human called Miguel Angel Arias that Nightmare Parasite informed us about."
"You mean that boy's the one?" the female Monster said to Kanzel's words with a tone mixed with confusion and surprise. "He looks too skinny and weak to be of any threat to us. I say that we should just eliminate him now while we have the chance."
"Don't let his looks deceive you, Mazenda," Kanzel said to his female companion as he eyed the human's glowing astral form from the astral plane. "Notice how his astral pattern is different from that of the other humans that we've encountered before we've incinerated them? If you look more closely, then you could see that, despite his appearance, this boy is special."
"So what do you want to do now, Kanzel?" Mazenda asked her partner in order to see what both she and Kanzel should do next. "Do you still want to carry out the task that Parasite gave to us?"
That was when the male Monster began to answer her by saying, "I think that we should just follow him for now and see if he's really worth our time."
"And how do you propose that we do that?" the female Monster asked as she was beginning to become curious about what her partner meant.
"Haven't you noticed the disturbance that was being set off in the world's astral plane, Mazenda?" Kanzel responded as he began to re-materialize into the outside world with his new black leather clothing. "A feeling that felt familiar to you? I've felt it since the two of us first arrived to this world before our encounter with those foolish humans. If you would have felt it, then you might know exactly what it is."
With a scoff to her partner, Mazenda too started to re-materialize into the physical realm with her new black leather and spiked clothing. She then began to search the area and that was when she began feel something from within the breaches of the world's astral plane. Something that felt so familiar that it caused her to gasp with surprise.
"What in the hell are those things doing here?" the female Monster asked as she turned to her partner. "How in Ruby-Eye's name did they manage to get to this world?"
"They're probably sent here by Nightmare Parasite," Kanzel responded to his partner with a calm and yet curious tone. "I guess that it didn't think that we could do this by ourselves. But the real question that's on my mind is why would it have to send in that many of them?"
"Why don't the two of us go over there and check it out?" Mazenda responded to her partner with a smirk on her face.
When he realized the thoughts that the female Monster was having, Kanzel responded to his companion by giving her a grin on his face. Then before long, both he and Mazenda vanished out of sight into the astral plane in order to see what occurrence was about to appear.
As he carefully glided through the shadows of the streets, Shadow continued to follow the green gem stone he has in his hand.
"Hmm. I seem to be getting closer to the source," the black hedgehog thought to himself as he saw the green light from the stone getting brighter. "I guess that means I'm almost to where the energy originated from. Now, if I could just get there without..."
Before Shadow could have the chance to finish his thoughts, he suddenly heard the sound of a explosion being set off from above the sky.
"What the..?" the Ultimate Life Form thought to himself before he looked up into the sky with surprised look on his face as he saw a gang of monsters in the air. "What in the world are those things? They must be some sort of demons. Well, whatever they appear to be, they must be stopped before..."
Just then, the black hedgehog began to see the group of demons starting to separate from one another, revealing a blond-haired young girl clothed in what appears to be a light blue and pink magician's outfit with a skirt. From the looks of things, Shadow saw that the girl began to land on one of the building's roofs and breathed heavily with fatigue. She was beaten and exhausted from trying to fight back against the energy blasts that he saw the monsters threw at her direction. At that moment, he began to have a mental image of his friend Maria being attacked by the demons. As soon as he saw that image, Shadow began to become enraged with the demons that are attacking the image of his friend. This also caused him to yell at the attackers with an angry tone in his voice.
"You monsters!! Chaos Spear!!" the black hedgehog shouted as he shot out golden spears of energy towards the demons.
As she was becoming more drained of her energy with each passing moment, Dark Magician Girl continued to attack the strange-looking demons with her staff. When the ball of black energy flew from her staff and collided with one of the monsters, the female magician flew away from a counter attack that one of the demons tried to pull. But what she hadn't notice is that one of the other creatures came from behind and began to slash at her with its huge claws. When she barely avoided the near collision of the demon's claws, which caused a minor rip on her clothing, Dark Magician Girl began to ready her staff for another one of her magical attacks. However, she was soon struck by the energy blasts of one of the beasts causing her to fall to one of the nearby buildings.
Before she could hit hard on the solid stone of the building, the young female magician started concentrating her powers quickly on making herself levitate in the air before it was too late. Suddenly, just when she thought that her own luck was about to run out, she soon found herself landing safely on the roof of the building with her feet. When she looked back the scene above the sky, Dark Magician Girl soon found herself being surrounded by a huge swarm of the winged demons that she was trying to fight off.
"There's too many of them for me to fight at once," the female magician thought to herself as she looked around to see nothing but demons in plain sight. "I nearly used up almost every ounce of my strength in order to destroy some of those demons. But with every one that I destroy, two or three more seem to take its place. What am I going to do at...?"
That was when her thoughts were soon cut short for when she heard a voice in the distance shouting out, "You monsters!! Chaos Spear!!"
Then, just out of nowhere, Dark Magician Girl saw a swarm that appears to be spears of yellow energy coming from the ground below and collided with some of the demons. As soon as the yellow energy spears hit their targets, the demons soon exploded with yellow light, vanishing out of existence.
"What in Ra's name was that?" the female magician thought to herself while feeling confused about what just happened as she saw the demons flying towards the source of the yellow energy spears. "Who was the person that just threw those energy spears at those creatures? Whoever that he is, he must be very powerful in order to launch an attack that strong. I'm also sensing an energy that's stranger than the magic that I'm used to. I just hope that he was able to handle those demons."
With that those thoughts done in her mind, Dark Magician Girl to see more of the demons being struck with the same type of energy spears as they did before. She also managed to hear her rescuer's voice again. This time, she was able to hear a bit of anger coming from his voice.
"You monsters dared to hurt Maria right in front of me!? I'll make you all pay for what you did to her! Chaos Nightmare!!"
As soon as she heard her rescuer shout out those words, the rest of the monsters that the female magician saw in the air began to become engulfed in a cage of green lightning bolts. She heard the demons shriek with pain as they continued to be surrounded with the powerful chains of green electricity just before the appearance of a black hole. Then, when she saw that they couldn't take anymore, the creatures vanished right out of existence through the rip in space.
However, the demons that are untouched by the powerful assault are still present from within the sky. Before she could have the chance to recover, Dark Magician Girl saw one of the monsters beginning to charge towards her direction while pointing one of its sharp talons, trying to puncture her. But just before the demon could even reach her, the female magician began to point her staff with the remainder of her energy as she shouted, "Dark Magic Attack!"
As soon as she shouted those words, a burst of black magic energy began to jump out of the tip of her staff and collided with the beast, causing it to shout out in pain just before it too vanished from existence. Just as she finally collapsed onto the ground, Dark Magician Girl looked around and saw that there weren't as much demons as there were before. Suddenly, she saw a bright green light burst from behind her.
"(Gasp!) This power! It's strong," the female magician thought to herself as she groggily tried to turn around to see what it was. "That must be the person who saved me from these demons who's emitting this kind of power. I wonder who it...?"
Just then, when she was able to fully turn towards the person who saved her life, what Dark Magician Girl saw was nothing that she expected. What she saw was a black creature with spikes that are jagged and sharp-looking. They were also colored with both the colors of black mixing with red streaks on them. Not only that, but she could've swear the creature looked almost human with its arms, hands, and feet looking like that of a human being. But she also noticed that his face looked like an animal with a sort of menacing edge to it.
Before she could have a chance to look more into the creature more, Dark Magician Girl suddenly heard the life form saying to her with a serious male voice, "Get down now!"
As she was confused with what the creature said, the female magician soon did as she was told and quickly ducked onto the ground before she heard it shouting out, "Chaos Spear!"
Suddenly, she saw another barrage of the yellow energy spears that she saw from before speeding right above her back and colliding with their target. When Dark Magician Girl finally got up from the ground and turned to see what the spears hit, what she saw was one of the demons, badly weaken and shrieking in pain as it began to fade from existence as it burned with the energy that it was struck with. As she was surprised at what she saw, the female magician soon heard the mysterious creature saying while looking at her with a concerned tone in its voice, "Are you alright, miss?"
Shadow didn't know what just came over him that caused him to be filled with anger and rage, but what he did know is that most of the demons that were attacking the young girl were starting to retreat and fall back for when he started his assault. As soon as most of the demons fled, the black hedgehog began to shout out, "Chaos Control!"
Then, with a flash, Shadow began to travel through the green tunnel in between both time and space before arriving to his destination. As soon as he arrived, the black hedgehog began to look around and saw the girl that the demons were attacking a moment ago. When he managed to get closer to the young female in order to get a closer look, who he saw was nothing that he'd ever expected.
The girl that Shadow was looking at wasn't Maria, but a different person. The female wore an outfit that looks like that of a magician's with a blue and pink color with. Only that her attire also includes a pink skirt that nearly made the Ultimate Life Form blush for the moment. He also noticed that the girl has a staff in her hands along with a pointed hat with matching colors to her outfit.
But that was not what made Shadow shocked the most. What he saw on the girl was eyes that were as green as the Chaos Emeralds themselves. Not only that but, for a moment there, he almost swore that he saw a bit of Maria's spirit in those eyes of her's. Then that was when the black hedgehog began to realize that the girl was looking at him with a bit of frighten and surprised expression on her face for while she was looking at him. Before he could reassure her of his own demeanor, Shadow began to see one of the demons that were attacking her from before appeared just about thirty feet behind the young costumed girl.
"Get down now!" the black hedgehog shouted to the female just as before the demon was about to strike.
As soon as he saw the young female down on the ground, Shadow began to shout out these two words as he threw his arm towards the creature, "Chaos Spear!"
With that, a barrage of yellow energy spears appeared out of nowhere and struck the monster dead on in the chest. As the monster shrieked with pain, Shadow saw the creature fading from existence and out of sight. When the demon was finally gone, the black hedgehog started to turn his attention back towards the female magician and asked with a tone of concern in his voice, "Are you alright, miss?"
He saw the female beginning to back away a bit as soon as she heard him speak. Shadow soon started to advance slowly towards the girl as she continued to back away from him in fright while pointing her staff towards him.
"Get away from me! What are you?" the female asked him with a frighten tone as she continued to back from him while her staff is still aimed toward Shadow's direction.
Before he could have the chance to say anything, the black hedgehog soon began to see the girl starting to get closer towards the edge of the building's roof. Before he knew what was happening, Shadow started to see the girl beginning to fall back towards the ground below. That was when the black hedgehog began to panic and shouted without thinking, "Chaos Control!"
Suddenly, time around his very being began to stop instantly the moment he shouted those words. Then the black hedgehog started to run towards the girl and got a firm grip on her hand just before time around them began to start again. He started to pull her back towards the safety of the roof as hard as he can so that she wouldn't fall even further toward the ground and making sure that he wouldn't lose his balance while doing so.
As soon as the two of them were both safe on the hard roof, Shadow soon found himself breathing heavily in order to get enough air into his lungs as the effects of the Chaos Control wore off. He then turned and saw the young lady breathing almost as heavily as he was just before she began to speak to him.
"You...you saved me," she said as she tried her to catch her breath while looking at him with a surprised look on her face. "Even...when...I've told you...to stay back, you....saved me from falling off this building. Thank you."
"It was nothing....young lady," the black creature said to her as she continued to hear him continuing to catch his breath. "You were falling.....off of...the roof and....I had to try to save you....before you fell. If I hadn't.....then I would...never forgive...myself. I did it because it was...the right thing to...do."
When she finally caught her breath, Dark Magician Girl suddenly felt flushed as she saw the black creature smiling at her. The smile that she saw wasn't sinister like his face was. It was like a sincere smile that told her that she could trust him. She soon found herself extending her hand towards him in order to give a friendly gesture. As soon as she saw him finally catching his breath and up on his feet, the creature suddenly took her hand and shook it as he kept the shining smile on his face as he spoke.
"My name is Shadow. Shadow the Hedgehog," the black creature responded as Dark Magician Girl finally sighed with relief of finally knowing his name. "What's your name?"
The female magician was caught off guard for when the creature named Shadow asked her that question. She soon began to scan her mind for her memories. Memories of her past life as a sorcerer's young female apprentice in ancient Egypt who aided the pharaoh to rule the kingdom peacefully.
"Mana. My name is Mana, Shadow." Dark Magician Girl answered to the black hedgehog as she blushed while shaking his hand. "But my master and the pharaoh call me by the name of Dark Magician Girl."
"Hmm. Dark Magician Girl?" she heard Shadow saying to himself as he broke off the hand shake. "I'd rather much like to call you by your real name, Mana. I think that it's a beautiful name. Like you are."
The black hedgehog's words caused the female magician to blush a bright red color on her face and giggle a bit. But just before she could have a chance to reply to his words, she began to see the black hedgehog's face becoming angry at something that he saw behind her. As she was becoming confused about his reaction, Dark Magician Girl/Mana saw what he was angry about for when she saw the army of demons returning to exact their revenge.
"So those things are back for more, are they?" Shadow said as he saw the group of demons snarling at them with their teeth showing towards them. "I guess some creatures don't know when to quit. Especially when they're dealing with the Ultimate Life Form."
As soon as he said those words, the black hedgehog began to hear Mana saying to him, "What in Ra's name are you talking about, Shadow? Are you some kind of immortal or something?"
"Well, something like that, Mana," Shadow responded with a grin on his face as he began to gather another fist-full of yellow Chaos Energy within his hand as he faced the monsters. "We'll talk about it all you want as soon as these things are out of the way. You'd better get to safe place and allow me to take care of the rest of these creatures."
"But there are still too many for you to fight at once, Shadow," Mana responded to his words with a bit of fear and concern in her voice. "I'm not leaving you to fight those creatures by yourself. I'm staying here to fight with you."
"But you're still too weak to keep fighting on like this, Mana. You...." was all the black hedgehog began to say before he saw a panicked expression on the girl as she started to screaming.
"Shadow!! Behind you!!" Mana screamed as Shadow began to turn and saw a demon speeding towards him in such a great speed.
Just before the claws of the demon could reach him, the black hedgehog soon saw a blinding flash of white light slashed through the beast's lower body. Then he saw the creature disintegrating out of the existence a moment later while being torn in half.
"What in the world just happened, Shadow?" he heard Mana saying to him with a bit of confusion. "Did you just launch an attack to destroy that creature?"
"It wasn't me, Mana," Shadow responded with a bit of confusion in his own voice. "That creature was close enough to kill me. That didn't give me enough time to launch any attacks. But then, who...?"
As if answering to his question, the Ultimate Life Form began to see the rest of the demons being hit with the same speeding electrical attack that's shaped like a blade. When the blade of lightning cut through more than half of the demons, Shadow began to hear the familiar voice of someone saying to him with a chuckle, "Now I can't just let you have all the fun now can I, Shadow?"
Before he knew it, the black hedgehog turned towards the direction where the voice came from and found himself looking at his human friend: Miguel. Shadow saw that the human was armed with his weapon, the Star Sword, in his hands. He also began to notice the sparks of electricity jumping out of mystical weapon's silver blade.
The person that she saw was a young human man with a huge sword in his hand. But what really shocked Dark Magician Girl/Mana was the fact that his sword's silver blade had a red four-pointed star on its silver blade.
"That weapon! It must be the Star Sword that mysterious voice talked to me about," the female magician thought to herself as she continued to look at the boy with amazement. "So that also means that the young man holding it must be its holder. He was able to defeat those demons with just a stroke of that weapon's blade. He must be very powerful in order to defeat those demons at once. Is he just like Shadow?"
As she wondered about these thoughts, Mana began to see the rest of the swarm of the sky demons beginning to open their mouths. When she finally realized it, the female magician began to see red energy gathering within their mouths and they all started to shoot out beams of crimson light towards their direction. But before the numerous attacks could collide with them, Dark Magician Girl began to see the young man getting in front of both her and Shadow while swinging his weapon towards the attacks as he shouted out, "Star Reflection!"
When the blade from the mystic weapon touched the multiple attacks, she saw the beams being redirected to back towards the demons with a much more powerful force than they emitted before. As soon as the multiple assault collided back to their owners, the demons faded from existence in a puff of smoke.
Soon, when all of the demons are gone, she began to turn towards Shadow and asked while walking towards him, "Shadow, that young man was able to reflect those attacks right back towards them with just a stroke of that sword he's holding. Just who is he?"
"Oh, I guess that I haven't told you about the person that just saved our hides," the black hedgehog responded to Mana as he smiled at her. "His name is Miguel Angel Arias and...."
But before she could hear the rest of Shadow's explanation, Dark Magician Girl began to hear the voice of their rescuer saying with a sort of amazed tone in his voice, "Shadow! That girl who's with you is Dark Magician Girl! I can't believe she's with you! Just how...?!"
Just before the young man named Miguel was about to finish the rest of his sentence, Mana began to hear the sounds of what appears to be roaring sirens approaching the area that they were in.
"I think that now is not the time to start disgusting about that, Miguel," she heard Shadow saying to his friend. "If we don't get out of here soon, we might have to do a lot of explaining to do with your world's local authorities."
"I'd have to agree with you, Shadow," Miguel responded to the black hedgehog as she saw him looking at her direction. "We can talk all about this later for when all of us are at a safe place to talk."
Before she could have the chance to ask about how all of them could get out of here, Dark Magician Girl began to see Shadow extending out his hand towards her and said, "You'd better hold onto me tight, Mana. It's going to be a very bumpy ride for when the two of us warp out of here using the Chaos Control."
"Chaos Control?" Mana asked as she took the black hedgehog's human hand and held onto it tight. "Just what...?"
"We'll explain all about it as much as you want for after we get out of here," she heard Miguel saying to her while cutting her sentence short as the female magician held onto the black hedgehog very tightly. "Right now, we got to get out of here before both the police and the fire department get here. Are you ready, Shadow?"
As soon as she saw Shadow nodding his head as a response to his friend's words, Dark Magician Girl began to hear both of them shouting out in unison, "Chaos Control!"
Before she knew what was happening around her, Mana soon found herself traveling through a tunnel of green light at a high speed.
"Did you just see that, Kanzel?" Mazenda said to her partner as both she and Kanzel looked at the three beings warp out of the area through the astral plane. "That boy was able to defeat that pack of wild Bras Demons with a single stroke of his sword."
"I must agree with you on that, Mazenda," the male Monster responded to his companion with a sinister tone in his voice. "That boy must be powerful in order to defeat that many Bras Demons in one blow. Not only that, but those two other beings that are with him, they're both from another plane outside of this world. Not only are they both very powerful, but they're also very special."
"So what should we do now, Kanzel?" the female Monster asked her partner as she looked at the approaching machines with people in uniforms heading towards the sight where they've just been. "Now that we both know that he's in this area, do we do as Parasite says or do we just keep on exploring this world a bit more? It seems to me that the boy will only come to us if we were to cause a calamity."
Kanzel smiled at the thought that Mazenda suggest and then began to say to her, "For once, you have a point there, Mazenda. I mean, why should the two of us go on ahead with this mission when we could simply continue on exploring this modern world. It's obvious to us that the humans here have not seen the likes of magic for many millennia and the negative energy that I'm feeding off of them is so gratifying. It even made us exponentially stronger just by being here.
"So, we'll just explore more of this world as much as we can for now. Learn more about its people and the machines that these humans possess. And, when the time is right, the two of us will be able to not only wipe that boy and his friends from existence, but rule this world as its new masters!"
With those words said and done, both Monsters began to re-materialize in the earth's astral plane in their new black leather clothing as they appeared at an abandoned part of the city.
When the three of them finally arrived at his home, Miguel began to turn his attention towards Shadow and noticed that Dark Magician Girl was holding onto the black hedgehog very tightly around the waist. As soon as they noticed him facing their direction, he saw the female magician releasing her hold on Shadow while the black hero just turned away and blushed with a red color on his face.
"Well, those two seemed to be getting along finely," he thought to himself as he smiled at the scene in front of him. "But what I'm concern about the most is how in the world did Dark Magician Girl get to this world? I mean, it shouldn't be possible for her to get to this world without the use of a dimensional portal created by the Chaos Emerald. If she did use a portal, then Tails' computer would've detected the surge of Chaos Energy that it emitted right now. I guess that it wouldn't hurt to ask her about how she got to this world."
With those thoughts done, Miguel began to hear Dark Magician Girl asking while seeing her looking at him with a curious look on her face, "Excuse me, young man. But how did you know the name that only the pharaoh calls me by? I heard you saying it while you were speaking with Shadow before the three of us arrived here."
That very question caught the teen by surprise for when he saw the blonde magician continued to look at him. Just then, he heard the voice of Shadow beginning to say, "Yeah. Just how did you know about that, Miguel? I mean, you've never even met her before and yet you know the name thact her master calls her by."
"(Sighs) Well, rather than just try to explain it to you two," Miguel began to say as he exited the living room, "I'll show you two instead. Wait right here for a moment while I go to my room to get something."
As soon as he left the room, the human teen walked across the kitchen and headed to a cupboard. He reached his hand inside the storage place, he pulled out what appears to be a deck of cards. When he came back into the living room with the deck in his hand, Miguel handed them over to Dark Magician Girl and he saw her looking at them one by one. That was when he saw Shadow walking over towards her and noticed the two of them looking at the deck together. Just when he was about to chuckle at the thought of the two snuggling together like that, he soon heard a gasp coming from the female magician as he turned and saw a surprised expression on her face.
"Miguel, how in Ra's name...? How is it possible for these cards to even exist in this world?" Dark Magician Girl asked him as she drawn a card that has a picture of her image on it.
"Well, you see Dark Magician Gir..." but before Miguel could have the chance to speak, the female magician spoke to him again.
"Please call me Mana," the blonde girl said as she was still holding the card in her hand while facing Shadow. "Only my friends back in my home world call me by that name. Besides, Shadow said that its beautiful like me."
With those words out of the girl's mouth, the male teen began to turn his attention towards the Ultimate Life Form, who he saw was blushing with a more crimson shade of red than it did before. As he chuckled softly to avoid being heard by his friend, Miguel began to hear the soft giggles of the girl from his favorite anime, who prefers someone to call her Mana, laughing with a smile on her face.
"Well,....(ahem!) I did say that her name is much more beautiful than what her calls her," Shadow began to say as Miguel continued to see him with his back turned before the black hedgehog turned his full attention back towards the teen. "Anyway, back to business. We can discuss on how the cards that Mana mentioned about a bit later for when we have the time.
"Miguel, what I really want to know is how both me and Mana were able to get to this world without the use of the portals? I mean, how was it even possible without the use of a Chaos Emerald?"
"Chaos Emerald? What is that?" Miguel heard Mana say with a curious tone in her voice, "What are the two of you talking about?"
Before the teen could have the chance to speak, he was suddenly broken off by the voice of the black hedgehog saying, "Oh, I see that you haven't heard much about these mystical powerful gems that I've just mentioned, Mana. Well, I guess that the two of us should start explaining about..."
That was when Miguel chose that time to cut in on Shadow's words by saying, "Whoa, Shadow! Before we could even think that far ahead, I think that it would be best to start with explaining how both you and Dark...um excuse me, Mana, managed to get to this world without the use of one portal. And I think that it must have something to do with a green stone that Shadow has with.."
That was when Mana began to cut in on the Miguel's words by saying, "Oh, do you mean a stone that looks just like this?" As soon as she said those words, the young man soon began to see the female magician taking out a small green stone from within her pocket.
"Why that's....that's the same stone that Shadow has with him!" Miguel said with a surprised tone in his voice as he looked at the stone with amazement.
"Well, it seems to me that Mana got to this world by the same means that I've used to get here," the teen heard Shadow saying as he turned and saw the black hedgehog taking out his own green stone from within his shoe's holding place. "But what surprises me the most is that I think that she got this from the same beings that gave Maria the stone that I'm holding now."
"Shadow, what are you talking about?" he heard Mana/Dark Magician Girl ask the black hedgehog as he turned towards his Mobian friend's direction. "Are you trying to tell me that you know who those mystical beings that spoke to me were?"
"Well, I think that I do, Mana...." Miguel heard the voice of Shadow saying to the magician before turning his voice turned serious and shocked. "Wait! Those beings spoke to you, Mana? What exactly did they say to you?"
"Well, the being that spoke to me in my mind said that I have a mission that involves me helping the holder of the Star Sword fight with the agents of a powerful creature that has power beyond that of the pharaoh," the female magician responded. "At first, I doubt what the voice in my mind said to me for while I was traveling to this world. But after seeing Miguel holding that strange weapon in his hands and seeing the power he displayed against those demons, I began to believe in what voice told me."
"Well, if those beings are the same ones that brought back Maria," Miguel heard Shadow saying, "then I must be here in this world on the same mission as you are because Maria told me almost about the same thing as you did, Mana."
"Whoa, Shadow! Mana!" Miguel began to say to the black hedgehog as he faced his friend, "Are you both saying that the two of you are both on the same mission to help me?! If what you two say is true, then the fire that both me and Shadow saw on in Panorama City could be caused by those agents of Parasite a while back."
"Well then, we should try to find those two as quickly as possible before they cause some major damage to this city, Miguel," Shadow said to him with a serious tone.
"But how are we suppose to find these creatures, Shadow?" he heard Dark Magician Girl saying to the black hedgehog with a confused tone in her voice. "They could be almost anywhere in this world."
"Well, I think that I may know a way to help us find those agents of Parasite, guys," Miguel responded as he began to exit the living room. "But it's going to take me a while before I could track down their location."
While looking at both Mana and Shadow with a smirk on his face, the teen began to say to the two, "In the meantime, why don't the two of you get well acquainted with one another while I do some adjustments to the computer scanner? Just don't mess up the house if the both of you get any ideas, okay?"
As he was exiting the living room, Miguel heard the voice of Shadow saying to him with a shocked tone in his voice, "Now wait just a moment, Miguel! Whatever gave you the idea that I have a crush in Mana?! I mean, sure that I think that she's beautiful....I mean I just consider her a friend and not a beautiful crush...I mean, I...!"
While chuckling softly at the black hedgehog's nervous words, the teen began to enter his room and pulled out the scanner out of its hiding place. He then began to type furiously on the keyboard while adjusting the settings in order to track down the energy signature of the agents that could be anywhere in his world.
