Shadow's Secret
Chapter Seven
Ugh, just see the last chapter.
"Oh no, this can't be good." Jayln said as Flash kept charging. He was surrounded by a fierce yellow aura, and was floating in the air. His eyes were blank, the pupils gone. He had lost control, and had gathered enough power to destroy the entire planet.
"I hope you're all ready to die by the hands of the late Metal Sonic's apprentice, me, Flash!" Flash exclaimed, nearing his hands together. Kai and Tails rushed into the room, panting.
"After all you've done, Flash, I won't let you live!" Shadow exclaimed. He started charging Chaos energy, but at a slower rate.
"Guys, girls, I need you to stall for time until I gather complete power. Until then, I am vulnerable. Understand?" Shadow asked. Everyone nodded. Kai started off the battle. She grabbed Flash's head, and kneed it on the other side.
"That would have broken a mere mortal's neck, but I am far beyond that." Flash said. He shot his hand out at Kai, and a bolt of lightning flashed, and hit Kai directly on the chest. She screamed in pain, her left side cut, spewing blood everywhere, whilst her right side was smoking.
My right, robotic side...it can't hold on much longer! At this rate, it'll die! I'll be half-paralyzed for life!' Kai thought. Jayln stood in front of her, and shot a punch at Flash. Flash caught it with ease, and twisted her arm.
"This, Kai, is how you break a bone!" Flash roared. There was a snap, and Jayln fell to the ground. Her arm was badly twisted, and everyone knew she would be lucky to use that arm ever again. Tails flew at Flash, and smashed his fist into Flash's jaw. His head slammed back, but he raised his head.
"Humph. I guess that's all I could expect from a pathetic little boy you are." Flash said, and slapped Tails with his backhand. Tails flew backwards into the wall with an almighty crash.
"Almost there...c'mon guys..." Shadow muttered. He had no one left to save him, and he wasn't ready to charge yet.
"HERE I COME!" Flash yelled, charging at Shadow. Before he was hit, however, an orange blur stopped right in front of Shadow. Flash made contact, but not with Shadow. Tikal stood in front of Shadow, blood falling from her mouth. Tikal fell to the ground in a dead faint.
"TIKAL! She may have died to save me, yet I am still not ready...how can we win?" Shadow exclaimed. There was a loud bang as Vinny entered the room. He was battered, bruised from when he fell onto the cement floor.
"They may be dead now, but I'll get my revenge..." Vinny gasped, before staggering and chocking. Vinny drew a hand out, and closed it. A lightning storm of green bolts slammed into Flash, throwing him backwards.
"Shadow...I can do little more. The rest is up to you." Vinny said, barely standing. Jayln, Kai, and Tails stood back up. All of them were covered in crimson liquid, and all of them were having trouble standing.
"Shadow, we won't let you down. You're our friend. Friends help each other." Kai said. Everyone else nodded. Shadow came very close to smiling. Jayln and Kai stood next to each other, and jumped forward. Kai kicked, and Jayln punched with her left arm. Flash turned around, and was hit by both attacks. He fell backwards.
"I'M READY, FLASH!" Shadow exclaimed. He flew towards Flash, and nailed him on the chin. A little bit of blood fell from Flash's mouth.
"I guess that's all I could expect from the 'Ultimate Life.'" Flash taunted. Vinny stood up, his hand outstretched.
"Shadow, I'm passing my energy on to you. If this works, then you should be able to beat him, but you will need everyone else's energy as well." Vinny said. (Yes, that is from that DragonballZ movie, that one with Broly in it.)
Kai and Jayln raised their hands, and a yellow aura seemed to blow from them. It seemed to fly in the breeze, gentle as a mouse. Vinny's aura was a sharp emerald green, and flew roughly. Tails' was a simmering, flowing sapphire blue, and it seemed to be naturally born to flight. The three auras hit Shadow, and were absorbed.
"Can't hold on much longer..." Vinny said. No more then a few seconds after he said this, he fainted. Jayln fell to the ground, out like a light. Her aura, along with Vinny's, stopped abruptly.
"Guys!" Tails exclaimed. He then froze, as if stunned, and fell to the ground. Kai was the only one still standing, her mystical aura pouring.
"Good luck Shadow..." Kai whispered, and fell to the ground. The entire aura was absorbed into Shadow, and Shadow opened his eyes, which he didn't remember closing.
"Time to end this, Flash!" Shadow exclaimed. He attacked Flash with a ferocity that no one could match, not even Vinny's dad watching football. Flash tried to counter-attack by using an electric shield, but to no avail. Shadow's fist, charged with both Chaos energy and the energy of his friends, broke through the shield.
"IT'S IMPOSSIBLE!" Flash cried. He jumped back, and charged a ball of lightning in his hands. Shadow laughed, and began charging his own Chaos energy, holding it in cupped hands, his body facing towards Flash's left, hands cupped back behind him. (Both attacks look like a Kameamea Wave, DragonballZ.)
"CHAOS BEAM!" Shadow roared, his hands flying forward, and opening. A large blast of purple, yellow, green, and sapphire flew from Shadow's hands.
"KWEN FAO OBLIIATION!" Flash roared, releasing his lightning ball, streaking like a jaguar through the air. (In a myth I wrote, Kwen Fao means Thunder.)The blasts hit straight on. Shadow gasped and turned his head as he saw Jayln get up, shortly followed by Kai. Jayln smiled, and Kai nodded.
"If one of us prevails victorious, a huge explosion will rip through the earth, creating an enormous crater. Unless you were temporarily invincible, you would all die. Go!" Shadow exclaimed, the beams colliding.
They created a huge semicircle in the ground. A wave of light blue seemed to shoot towards Flash, then Shadow. After gathering even more strength, Shadow managed to place it right in the center.
"If that wave hits us, it will explode, disintegrating whoever it touches." Flash said, pushing more power into the blast. The wave nearly hit Shadow. Shadow was so surprised for a second, it nearly hit him. He applied more power, and it shot towards Flash, who quickly stopped it.
"We believe in you, Shadow!" Tails exclaimed. Shadow looked over to see Tails, Kai, and Jayln all standing around each other. Vinny was still unconscious.
"Use Chaos Control and get out, get away from here, NOW!" Shadow roared, scaring Tails. Kai thought for a moment.
"Vinny's the only one who can use Chaos Control besides you, Shadow!" Jayln exclaimed. Tails walked over to Vinny. He gasped in surprise when he saw something glint. He looked at Vinny's left arm, and saw metal. It was a lightning reflector. Tails examined his arm, and right before he pulled of the glove, Vinny woke up.
"Hey! Tails, stop!" Vinny exclaimed. Tails jumped up, and stopped. Vinny looked at the lightning reflector and sighed.
"This is my greatest secret. This was built into my arm as an attempt to stop Flash's electricity from nearly killing me. It didn't work. It only intensified it. Now, I guess my secret is out, and I no longer need to hide it." Vinny said. He pulled back his glove, and revealed an amazing secret: His hand was covered in electric gear.
"Your left hand...it's robotic!" Kai exclaimed. Jayln looked at Kai, then Vinny's arm. Tails shook his head.
"Look, I'll explain later. Right now, we need to get out of here." Vinny said. He pulled out the purple Chaos Emerald.
"Good luck, Shadow!" Kai exclaimed. Jayln waved, before disappearing in a flash of emerald light. Shadow gave Flash a cold stare.
"Now that they're gone, I can release my true power." Shadow said, laughing, a hint of madness in his voice. Shadow then allowed his Chaos energy to take over him, never stopping to continue his attack, and transformed.
And that would be the end of Chapter Seven. I'm amazed I managed to come up with all this, seeing as I don't know what to put in Tails' Journey's next chapter. Any and all suggestions welcome. And by the way, please review, I seem to only get reviews from the same people over and over again...Later!
