Light, the Opposite of Shadow

By Luigi III

Chapter Ten: The Final Battle

GUN safe-zone: Volcanic Chamber C

It was the ultimate battle which would decide the fate of the world. The ultimate weapon, fighting to save it, and the ultimate guardian, fighting to destroy it. How ironic.

Light jumped into the air and fired his gun at Shadow. Shadow jumped to the left and fired the Shadow Rifle. He just barely skimmed Light's arm. The blast flew into the lava machine. The lava level began rising. Light and Shadow continued the fight. The lava kept rising. Light jumped on a Black Arms saucer and rode over the lava. Shadow saw one that he could ride, but he would have to act fast. He jumped on the connecting rail and grinded to the other side. He jumped on the saucer. Light made his way out, but the lava had almost covered the exit. Shadow thrust the saucer forward at full speed.

GUN safe-zone: Volcanic Chamber D

Light glided across the lava. With any luck, that black hedgehog was dead. Then it happened. The rock wall blasted open, and Shadow rode through towards Light. And he still had the DAMNED Shadow Rifle! What's worse, he only used one shot out of twenty! That meant nineteen shots left. Light glided across the lava. Three Shadow Rifle shots just barely missed him. Then, the Shadow Rifle hit the hover-saucer. The saucer blew up, and Light jumped onto the platform. He fired at Shadow's Black Arms saucer, and it blew up. Shadow also jumped onto the platform. Light grabbed an electro-pole and knocked the Shadow Rifle out of Shadow's hand. Light swung again, and Shadow jumped into the air. Shadow kicked Light. Light slammed into the lava machine.

"Damn." Shadow said. "We've really gotta get rid of these things!" Shadow jumped on another saucer. Light was out cold. Shadow didn't care to know what happened to Light. If he was lucky, Light would die in here. Shadow rode off. The lava rose. Shadow made it out of the cave and shut the metal door.

GUN safe-zone: Lower Computer Room

Shadow sighed in relief. This war would finally be over. They had already captured Eggman. Finally, the GUN army would be rebuilt. All seven Chaos Emeralds were out of the hands of evil.

Meanwhile…

The final piece was put onto the robot. They pulled the switch.

"Yes…" a dark voice said. "Mecha-Shadow 4 has been completed." The robot stepped out of the capsule. "Mecha-Shadow 4, can you hear me?"

"Yes…" Light answered. "Is Shadow dead?"

"No." the voice answered.

"No?" Light repeated. "I can't believe this!"

The End…?
