The 3 Shadows, Episode 7 - Eclipsed

Chapter 7 - Supreme Power

Shadow and Miles raced straight for the cannons core. When they got there they saw all Seven Chaos Emeralds attached to a giant machine. Gerald was at bottom typing into a computer. Surrounding him was the other six shadow robots.

"Gerald! Don't you dare fire that cannon", said Shadow.

"How did you get free? Dammit I thought I could trust Sapphire", said Gerald.

"You forgot about her intense rivalry with Joz didn't you?" asked Miles.

"Oh well it doesn't matter. Shadow robots attack them", said Gerald.

"You deal with the robots I'll deal with the Emeralds", said Shadow.

"Er, Ok", said Miles.

Shadow dashed straight for the Emeralds while Miles fired a load of sticky mud at the Shadow Robots. The Shadow Robots used Chaos Control to warp out of the way and three surrounded Miles, grabbing him. The other three kicked Shadow into the machine. Shadow smashed into it creating a huge dent, big enough to hold Shadow in. Gerald laughed.

"Nice try, but with all Seven Chaos Emeralds and six robots, one of which took all 3 Shadows at their best to destroy, you never stood a chance", said Gerald.

"You're right, but that doesn't mean we couldn't try", said Miles.

"In 10 minutes the Eclipse Cannon will fire and there's nothing The 3 Shadows can do about it"

Shadow felt strange. He lay hurt surrounded by the Seven Chaos Emerald. So much power and he had no way of focusing it all. However he felt as if the Chaos energy was becoming one with him. Unknown to him, he was about to experience his ultimate chaos manipulation technique.

His fur began to turn gold as his body became charged with pure Chaos Energy. He jumped out of the dented cannon and a huge explosion of power raced through his body. His Black was now Gold and he could fly in the air for the first time. A Golden Aura covered his skin.

Shadow had become Super Shadow. Instantly he struck all of the six Robot Shadows in one go, leaving them in pieces.

"So he found his true power after all", said Gerald quietly, "What power, his super form is simply stunning"

"Shadow what's happened to you?" asked Miles.

"I don't know but I feel great. I feel as if my entire body is filled to the brim with Chaos Energy", said Super Shadow.

"Congratulations Shadow. You've become one with the Chaos Emeralds. You're discovered your super form", said Gerald.

"Which means your cannon can't fire anymore. Oh I like this a lot", said Super Shadow.

Then Super Shadow suddenly began to feel weaker.

"Huh? Oh crap", said Super Shadow.

Super Shadow grabbed Miles and raced through the corridors of ARK towards the arena where Joz and Sapphire were fighting.

Meanwhile Joz and Sapphire had continued their fight to the point where they were both sweating and panting like crazy. Blood dripped off their fur and both had a swollen eye.

"Ready…to…give…up", said Joz

"Never", said Sapphire.

Suddenly Super Shadow and Miles burst through the door and grabbed Joz.

"Wait!" said Joz, "I…still…have…to…beat…Sapphire"

"No time. I don't know how long this super form will last and we still have to return to Earth", said Super Shadow.

"Dammit!...Well…at…least…let…me…get…my…stuff…..Sorry…Saph…but…we'll…have to…finish this…another…time", said Joz.

Joz slowly walked to his stuff as Sapphire tried one last desperate attack. She tripped and fell to the ground as Super Shadow grabbed Joz's stuff and Joz.

"CHAOS CONTROL!" shouted Shadow and with a flash of light the 3 Shadows disappeared.

Sapphire lay on the floor exhausted. Angry that the fight hadn't been settled but relieved that she could rest for a while. Both bats had gotten considerably stronger and she was surprised to see how tough Joz had become.

Meanwhile back in the Cannon's core Gerald was smiling. Even though Shadow had taken the Chaos Emeralds he was not beaten yet. He marveled at his creations new found power. Even though he knew it would be trouble for him in the future, Gerald could help but feel happy that his creation was a success in his own way.

And even though Shadow had taken away the Emeralds, there was still plan B.
