Chapter 2
Shadow looked up at sonic. Shadow pulled out his emerald and ran at sonic. Sonic ducked out of the way. "Shadow what's happening to you…"
"Prepare to die Sonic. You will be dead soon. If you stop moving it will be over quick!" Shadow punched into the wall and pulled out a pipe.
"Uh…." Sonic was starting to sweat 'when could he do that?' he thought to himself.
Shadow chaos controlled behind sonic. "What the?" said sonic as he got hit hard in the back with the metal pipe. Sonic was amazed at his newly acquired speed and strength. Shadow went to strike again but sonic grabbed the pole and kicked Shadow in the face. Sonic yelled "sonic Wind!" a rush of wind knocked the couch right into Shadow causing him to be knocked through the wall.
"Haw! That you best?" Shadow got up out of the rubble and shouted "chaos blast." Sonic felt a fiery blast consume him. He was able to cast sonic wind to deflect the flames at the last minute and was spared. The lab was not though. Everything around sonic was in ruin.
'It was never that powerful before…' Sonic said to himself. Sonic ran at Shadow. This was a move Shadow did not anticipate as sonic drove his fist into shadow's stomach. Shadow fell over in pain.
"YOU PEST!" shouted shadow as he ran out of the lab (or what was left) and headed for a more open area, the runway. Shadow turned around to face sonic when sonic finally caught up. "You might be good against me now but…" Shadow extended his hand out and toughed the front of the tornado II and then drove his fist into the front pulling out a chaos emerald. "Not any longer!" Shadow with super fast speed grabbed sonic and hurled him at the plane. Sonic hit the plane and fell to the asphalt.
"Time to die!" Shadow yelled. "Chaos spear!" A forest of yellow energy spear hurled toward him.
Two days had passed since Sonic's fight and he was lying in bed at Tails' house.
"What happened?" sonic asked
"You got your butt handed to you." Said Knuckles plainly.
"Sonic I have some news very important news." Tails said franticly.
"Ok it might take awhile it's a lot. Anyway you had blood on your shoe and it was Shadow's. I did research and tests and the worst is upon us. Shadow is going through phases as you saw." Tails sat down. "These phases he can not control. They make him very powerful and fast. After further examination of the blood something strange came up. Here is the best way to explain it… he has evil inside his body the evil is somehow taking over him. This evil has a mind of its own and does what ever it wants. Evil is just an entity and that's why I'm baffled. He should be able to control it."
"So Tails you're saying that the shadow I fought was the real shadow but the evil inside him somehow is able to take control of him for short intervals?"
"Exactly! It's almost as if he has an alternate side of him… good and evil. I have no idea what has been causing it of what controls it or even what set it off."
"Won't the effects wear off for good?"
"The exact opposite… you saw that you could get close to him in the beginning and hurt him right? Well that's only because the shadow we know was trying to fight the evil and regain control, but when he got the second chaos emerald the evil was able to be in control better and fight much better. I fear that the evil inside of him is trying to get all the chaos emeralds so that he can control shadow's body and maybe even his mind!"
Sonic went to get up and felt a searing pain in his left leg. He grunted, "What's up with my leg guys?"
"Well Shadow kind of… broke it," said Knuckles.
"OH THAT'S IT!" sonic sat up in bed.
"Yeah you're going to have to stay here while we go warn the others and hide the remaining emeralds… sorry."
Sonic stayed in bed and turned on the News as the Tornado took off. Sonic watched the newscast. A tall man stood up in front of the camera, Sonic knew at once that it was the president. "My Fellow Americans… Shadow has destroyed Central City… no one lived… G.U.N. was in possession of a chaos emerald and we assume that's what he was after but we are not sure. We have moved the emerald to a safer location just in case, and it is under guard by our top agent. Her name I won't give at this time…" sonic turned the TV off.
Sonic got out of bed and felt his leg sear with pain again even though it was in a splint. He walked over to a wall and raped on it five times in a certain rhythm. The wall opened to revel a safe, which he opened, and from it he withdrew a chaos emerald.
"Shadow is such a sucker!" Sonic closed his eyes and put the tip of the emerald to his temple. The emerald glowed blue. Sonic reached down and removed the splint. He put all of his body weight on his foot. "Much better. Now time for a rematch shadow…"
