Ch.9: The Final Blow
Tails Doll could feel the pang of terror from Kimara, she was losing the fight, soon Knuckles would come after them. Then he felt nothing, like his bond with Kimara had vanished. Outside, Kimara was preparing herself for death as Knuckles claws swung down to kill her, but to her surprise had stopped in midair. Kimara looked up to see Knuckles eyes struggling to look away from her. He was fighting agianist Zerou's power. He had never killed and certianly was not going to start. His fur was changing back to it's orginal color and the dark fire left his eyes.
Kimara was also returning to normal, but didn't notice it just yet and grabbed Knuckles before he could fall.
Knuckles: Are you okay?
Kimara: I am, but you were cutting it kind of close.
Knuckles grinned.
Knuckles: Sorry.
Kimara: Sonic and the others went to face Zerou. You up for a little payback?
Knuckles: Let's get him.
Meanwhile Shadow, Nazo, and the Tails Doll were busy fighting Zerou. Combining their strentghs wasn't enough. Zerou still managed to stay on his feet.
Zerou: I'm growing bored of this cerade.
The three attackers were frozen in midair.
Zerou: Fool's. The battle is over, you've lost. This time no one can stop me.
He feels a tap on his shoulder and at the next moment he punched in the face by incoming fist. He staggered to his feet to see Knuckles and Kimara. Zerou's eyes widened when he saw Knuckles.
Zerou: You! Impossible! Noone can resist my spell!
Knuckles: First time for everything, but this will be the second.
Kimara and Knuckles punched Zerou together leaving behind some major damge. Sonic and Eggman decided to drop in.
Sonic: Your toast Zerou! We found out your scheme and now we know how to stop it!
He holds up a choas emerald and Zerou's eye's widen in fear. Sonic chanted a quick spell and then everything went white.
