Light, the Opposite of Shadow

By Luigi III

Author's Note: The entire Destroyer battle takes place in an actual multi-player stage, and actually happened between me and my sister.

Chapter Seven: Mecha-Shadow 2: DESTROYER

GUN Fortress

Light ran across the walkway. There were no guards. Getting the next two emeralds was going to be easy. Then he stopped.

"Welcome, Ultimate Guardian." a robotic voice said to him. It was Mecha-Shadow version 2: DESTROYER. I trust you are looking for these?" He held up the Chaos Emeralds.

"Hand them over!" Light ordered. Destroyer laughed.

"Who do you think you are to give me orders?" The lights that held his visual receptors turned green and got brighter. His right arm turned into a weapon, just like Hunter's. "I've heard about you, Light! You were created as the Ultimate Guardian who would protect the Earth. Now you're ensuring it's destruction. The Guardian Units of Nations are keeping the Chaos Emeralds away from evil, not using them for evil!"

"Then explain what I saw!" Light ordered, grabbing a rifle off of the ground.

"I don't have to!" you worthless kalistoth! he wanted to say. Kalistoth is an insult in a droid language. He aimed at Light and fired his machine gun-arm he had. Light jumped out of the way and fired a couple rifle shots at Destroyer.

D E S T R O Y E R

Light fired a few more shots, turned around, and ran. He took out every GUN soldier in his way. Destroyer tried to keep up, but couldn't. Light ran into the garage and jumped into the turret-mech. He went over to the secondary hallway, where a large tank turret was lying in the cage. Light fired at the GUN soldiers, and the cage opened.

Meanwhile…

Shadow thrust forward at the Ultima-Diablon. He struck it, and went straight through it.

"NO!" Cody yelled. "The Ultima-Diablon CAN'T LOSE! Cody to control room! Cody to control-AAAHH!" Shadow walked up to the ruins of the Ultima-Diablon. He found…

GUN Fortress

Eliminator waited for Light to return. When he did, Light was in the turret-mech.

"Do you really think that thing can stop me?" Destroyer asked. He fired at one of the legs on the mech. The leg fell apart, and the mech fell to the ground. "Give up, Light! You can't defeat me!" He aimed right at Light's head. "One good shot should take you out for good…" He was about to fire, when a tank turret was suddenly aimed at him. "What-where did you find this?"

"The cage in the garage's outer hallway." Light answered.

"Oh no…" Destroyer said. Then he laughed. "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Do you REALLY think that I can be destroyed? I am the greatest in the Mecha-Shadow Series! I AM UNBEATABLE!"

"We'll see about that!" Light yelled. He fired. Destroyer was knocked over the electo-magnetic pool. Light started to walk away. "I guess he was wrong." Then he jumped to the side. He had almost been hit by a machine gun bullet. Destroyer was still alive. He was using the jets on his feet to hover over the pool, and fire at Light. Light shot at Destroyer again. He fell, and hovered still, but lower. Light tried again. The same outcome. He had one shot left. He jumped of the edge and struck Destroyer with his homing attack. He fired, knocking himself backwards, and Destroyer into the electro-magnetic pool. Light homing attacked back onto the walkway. He picked the Chaos Emeralds off of the ground. "This makes six Chaos Emeralds." His communicator started ringing.

"Very good, Light!" Eggman told him. "The last Chaos Emerald is in the GUN safe zone near Ground Zero. It is where everyone in Central City evacuated when the Eclipse Cannon struck. You must go there, and the world will be forever safe from GUN!"

"Very well, doctor." He closed the comm. link.

GUN Safe Zone

There was only one Mecha-Shadow left. Mecha-Shadow version 3: ELIMINATOR. Eliminator was the most ruthless robot in the Mecha-Shadow series. Light stood no chance.

Meanwhile…

Shadow knocked out the pilot of the ship and started driving it on his own. He had to get to the GUN safe zone before anything happened there.
