Light, the Opposite of Shadow

By Luigi III

Chapter Eight: Elimination Round

Unknown

Light snuck in through the volcanic chambers under the safe zone.

'Only one emerald left.' Light thought. 'Then I will have saved the world.'

"You have done well to make it this far, Project: LIGHT." a voice boomed. "But your quest ends here." The final Mecha-Shadow dropped from the ceiling. "My name is Eliminator. I am the strongest mecha-shadow yet. It's time to begin the Elimination Round!" Eliminator fired his machine gun-arm at Light ruthlessly.

E L I M I N A T O R

Light jumped behind a large shut-down machine. He had no chance. No gun, no sword, no hope. Eliminator appeared in front of him, glowing yellow. Light dashed across the surface and slammed into a box. There was a gun! He aimed at Eliminator's head and fired.

That didn't work well.

The bullet stopped in mid-air and fell to the ground. Light tried again. The same thing happened. Again and again and again. He ran out of ammo. He threw the gun at Eliminator. It hit the machine. Eliminator was glowing orange. Light ran. He had to do something. Then he saw a weapon he could use. He tried to pull a pole out of the ground. It wouldn't come out. Then, he saw a box. Written on the box, was "Poles: Good for wacking. He grabbed a pole out of the ground and thrust at Eliminator. Missed. He hit the machine, which was now steaming. This was bad. Very, very bad. Eliminator was glowing red.

"Charge complete." he said. "Your reign of terror is over!" Light ran. Fast. "Anti-particle cannon: FIRE!"

Gunship

Shadow felt a disturbance. Something he hadn't felt since he battled Cody. He felt Doom power being awakened.

GUN safe-zone: Volcanic Chamber A

Light was alive. His right eye burned.

"Get up, traitor." Eliminator said to him. Light stayed on the ground. "GET UP!" Light struggled to his feet. He opened his eyes. Eliminator got furious. "You…" he said. "Your eye is yellow. You have the Doom power…"

"The…Doom power?" Light repeated.

"Yes." Eliminator replied. "The Doom power. It is very powerful. And you have it." He fired at Light. Light jumped out of the way. "But you'll never get the chance to use it!" They continued fighting. Light jumped on a Black Arms hover disc thing. He tried again to fire at Eliminator. He missed again. It hit the machine. An alarm sounded. The machine shook violently. "Visb!" Eliminator swore in a droid language. The lava level rose. Light rode over the lava, towards the passageway further into the base. Eliminator followed using jets. NOW Light was angry.

"Doom…" Light began.

"OH JXAK!" Eliminator swore in the droid language.

"…Lightning!" Lightning struck around the chamber, some hit Eliminator. The last one struck the robot, and he short-circuited. Light did it. The last Mecha-Shadow was dead.

GUN safe-zone: Volcanic Chamber B

"Now, nothing can stand in my way!" Light exclaimed. "All of the Mecha-Shadows are dead!"

"I wouldn't say all of them." a familiar robotic voice said.
