Ch.10: The Falling of the Red Sun

Clutching the chaos emerald tight in his hand, Shadow was thinking hard about their situtation. The echidna that had been on his shoulders earlier now rested on the ground. Closing his eye's Shadow thought hard. Maria appeared, Shadow was stunned for a moment at seeing her. Then he noticed Maria was pointing to the red sun in the darkened sky. Shadow looked at it then at the emerald in his hand, Shadow looked at Maria nodding that he understood, and she faded away as he opened his eye's.

Shadow: We have to get to that sun.

Tails: Are you crazy? The X Tornado isn't designed to fly that high.

Shadow: If you can get me close enough I'll make it the rest of the way.

Vector: Now I now your crazy.

Sonic: We don't really have much choice, I'm going too.

Reluctantly the rest of the group agreed and next thing they know they're on the X Tornado flying up. Close as they could get Shadow used Chaos Control, to find himself at least a million miles from his destination. Shadow6000 was pacing impatiently on the bridge. Even if Shadow did acomplish the impossible, the reuslting burst of energy could probally kill him, agian. He could stand it no longer and went flying towards the sun.

Meanwhile Shadow was trying his best to keep up to speed, and save the choas energy needed to get rid of the spell The Devoyer had set. Progress was slow, although he didn't give up, he knew that time was running out for the Earth. Suddenly claw-like hands grabbed his shoulders and propelled him forward faster than his reguluar speed. His first instinct was to attack the thing that grabbed him, but seeing the reflection of Shadow6000 in the chaos emerald he decided agianist it. The two of them arrived at the sun in record time.

Shadow: Thanks for the help.

Shadow6000: Just end this.

Shadow: Chaos Control!

The emerald unleashed a blinding white light that completely surrounded the red sun. Down below on the surface The Devoyer saw what was happening, but there was nothing he could do to stop it. In a flash he was gone. Amy and Knuckles who had been left on Earth quickly revived when their choas energy was restored. Shadow6000 gave Shadow a thumbs up, Shadow just smirked. When the group landed back on Earth, they were greeted by Knuckles and Amy. Amy imediately jumped on Sonic, and Knuckles starteed asking questions. After that Shadow looked at his orange counterpart.

Shadow: You still planning to kill me?

Shadow6000: Not this minute, I just helped you save the world and all.

Knuckles: I bet Eggman would be surprised one of his machines actually decided to help us.

Sonic: He probally will be, man I'd like to see the look on his face.

Shadow6000: Don't push it, I can still change my mind. fly's off

Tails: Hey what about the chaos emeralds?

Knuckles slaps his head and runs to see to the Master Emerald and the chaos emeralds. Their chaos energy had been restored. The sun and sky were no longer red. The ritual had ended, the threat was gone.
