Chapter six
Amy gently shook Shadow and woke him. It took him a few seconds to realize where he was, then he
snapped into full alert. " Shadow it's alright. You've got about an hour and a half till sundown. "
Shadow relaxed a little. " Thanks Amy. " " For what? " Shadow made no answer. " Are you hungry?
" " No." " Well, whether you are or not you're gonna eat something. It's been at least five days. "
Shadow reluctantly ate. Knuckles and Sonic came in and they talked to Shadow and Amy for a
while. When Knuckles was ready to leave Sonic wasn't but Knuckles grabbed one of Sonic's ears
and drug him out anyway. " Thanks Knuckles. " Amy turned to Shadow. He had forty-five minutes
until sundown. His face was dangerously nuetral. Amy slid her arms around Shadow's waist and
gently sat down in his lap and watched his face. It went from nuetral to bright red almost instantly. "
That's a good look for you Shadow. " Giggling Amy got up. She smiled at Shadow, he returned the
smile then stood up. " I should get going. I have to find Tirza and say goodbye. " He turned to Amy
and slowly pulled her into a hug. " Amy, I love you. " " I know. It's about time you told me though. "
" I had a feeling Sonic would come back. I know you still loved him. . . " " I do. But it's different from
what I feel for you. Me and Sonic could never be. He's more like a brother to me than anything."
Shadow had a huge grin on his face. " Guess I shouldn't have waited so long to tell you huh? " Amy
blushed and nodded. " I really have to go now. I have to go all the way to the Mystic Ruins. " "
Then take this, and be sure to come back to me. " Amy reached up and caught Shadow's lips with
hers. When they parted Shadow was atomic red and Amy was blushing again. Amy had pressed the
yellow chaos emerald into Shadow's right hand. Chaos energy crackled around Shadow and threw
off sparks. Shadow's face returned to the dangerous nuetral expression. " I will come back. I have no
intention of losing. Sonic and I fought this Daemon guy, ten years ago. Daemon went back in time
and Sonic jumped into the time rift after him. No way is Daemon getting out of this. " Shadow
flashed Amy another smile and was gone. Soon Shadow was on his way to the Mystic Ruins.
Daemon was waiting for him. Both stood staring at each other. A slight breeze rippled the grass at
their feet. At that silent signal the fight started. The battle raged. Daemon had limited chaos energy.
Shadow And Daemon were pretty well matched except for the speed and chaos energy factors.
Shadow still had the yellow emerald, he'd absorbed it. The fight went on with Shadow landing twice
as many attacks as Daemon due to his superior speed. Daemon caught Shadow off gaurd when he
launched a ball of pure red Chaos Energy. Shadow jerked his head back, avoiding the attack and
putting himself a little off balance. Daemon charged and tried to double punch Shadow. Shadow
caught both of Daemon's fists and staggered back a little. Daemon spotted Shadow's left arm and
smirked. " Very good. You healed your arm. It won't help you. " Shadow winced as Daemon broke
his left arm. They separated and Shadow looked a little ticked. His expression returned to nuetral as
he felt the familiar tingling of Chaos Energy building up in his right hand.
" Chaos Spear! " Daemon's eyes went wide and he tried to dodge. He ended up with a bloody gash
going down his leg. He gritted his teeth as Shadow prepared his next attack. " Chaos Spear Cascade!
" A barrage of Chaos Spears headed straight for Daemon. He started glowing red and a split second
before the spears hit Daemon shouted, " Chaos Rebound! " Shadow was not ready for his attack to
be rebounded. He was breathing hard, holding a hand over the deep wound in his chest when the
dust cleared. " Still alive? I thought that would surprise you. I found that since I could not redily
attack with Chaos Energy I could repel it. I am your opposite, am I not? " " Enough talk! Chaos
Spear Cascade! " As Shadow launched the attack Daemon laughed failing to hear the two words
Shadow whispered. As the attack rebounded to where Daemon thought Shadow was, Shadow came
out of Chaos Control right behind Daemon. Shadow delivered a sharp blow to the back of Daemon's
head knocking him down. Shadow then fired another Chaos Spear Cascade at Daemon's back. As
Daemon stood up it was clear that the attack had connected. Blood dripped down Daemon's side as
he clutched his chest. They had been fighting for hours, time had become crucial now. Both were
bleeding from large wounds. The longer the fight the more blood they both would lose, the first one
to slow down from blood loss would lose. Shadow and Daemon slowly circled each other. Daemon
charged and Shadow dropped to one knee and used the other leg to sweep him. Daemon went down
hard and tried to roll out of it. While he was rolling several Chaos Spears were sent straight for him.
Only one connected, the cut that resulted disabled Daemon's right arm. " #! you Shadow! " " You
couldn't beat me ten years ago. What makes you think you can beat me now! " Daemon smiled evily
at Shadow and pointed to a device at his side. " Master's coming if I push the call button right here.
" Shadow's eyes narrowed and he went for Daemon and the device.
Shade: another chapter done, if anyone's reading this I'm sorry for the wait. Thanks for reading.
Chaos Spear Cascade is all out of my head and I'm proud of it. Sayonara
