CHAPTER 11

DEMON BATTLE

The next day, Spike came downstairs with the brown book in his hand. He saw Shadow and Rouge sitting at the kitchen table and decided to join them.

Rouge noticed the book he had, "Spike, when did you get into reading?"

"Since it involves the fourteen demons."

"What? It has the fourteen demons listed in it?"

He nodded, "Lynn gave it to me. I even saw Deminse in here. He seems like a tough one to handle."

"Believe me he is", Shadow said.

"Wanna take a look at it, dad?" Spike asked.

"No, I already know plenty about them. You keep it."

Spike set the book on the table and turned the TV on in the living room and started to watch the news.

Rouge looked over to Shadow, "Do you think Spike could fight the fourteen demons? He seems strong enough, but still he hasn't mastered all of his powers."

Shadow looked over to Spike and back over to Rouge, "He's ready and I know he's ready. I should know from experience."

She smiled.

"Mom, dad look at this!" Spike shouted.

Shadow and Rouge ran into the living room and saw on the TV that Satar was in the city killing people for no reason except for his own fun.

"Satar!" Shadow and Spike said together.

Shadow looked over to Spike with a smile, "You have been reading. Come on, Spike let's put him in his place."

Spike was surprised that Shadow invited him to come. If it was Rouge, she probably would've allowed him to stay home. He smiled, "Go on, dad I'll catch up."

Shadow ran out the door.

Spike looked over to Rouge, "Is there anything you should tell me before I go into battle."

"Well there is something that you should know about you're father. He's part demon."

"He's part what!" Spike shouted.

Rouge nodded, "Remember when you and him fought together in the city and he transformed into a monster?"

Spike nodded.

"Well that was his demon form."

"His demon form?"

"Yeah and once that's triggered and he sees blood on anyone who knows what will happen and even when he's not in his demon form, he still likes blood. So please, Spike please try to control him when you see him acting strange."

Spike nodded slowly. He was a little afraid by hearing that Shadow was part demon. He was now wondering if he'll become part demon since his father is one. He ran out of the door to catch up with Shadow.

Rouge sighed, 'Please look after each other.'

Later in the city, Shadow met up with Satar killing people in the city. He saw the demon cutting off people's heads, arms, legs, or any other parts that he could think of. "Stop it right now, Satar!" He shouted.

After Satar cut off a man's head with one of his chainsaws, he faced Shadow with a smile appearing around his bloody mouth. It was clear that he was also drinking their blood after he killed his victims.

Shadow licked his lips a bit wanting the blood around his mouth.

"Well, well if it isn't Shadow the Hedgehog. Back for more torture huh?"

"No, I'm here to bring you down!"

Satar laughed, "Bring me down? Yeah right." He then slung blood on the ground from his bloody chainsaws. "See that don't yea?"

Shadow just stared at it.

"Go on, drink it you know you want to."

Before Shadow could he heard a voice behind him.

"Dad, don't!" A black hedgehog approached him. He grabbed Shadow's wrist, "Dad, don't you dare even think about it. Don't do this. This is probably what happened last time and you know it. Don't let that demon get to you."

Satar walked up to Spike, "Stay outta this, kid or do you want to lose your head?"

Spike backed away from him, "Stay back!" His hands began to glow a light blue color, "Chaos Spikes!" A blue light came from his hands and hit Satar badly.

The demon fell to the ground, but got back up quickly, "Just what are you, kid?"

"It's Spike the Hedgehog. The son of Shadow the Hedgehog. That's who I am!"

"The son of Shadow? Deminse never mentioned that he had a son", his chainsaws started running. "No matter, you'll die just like the rest."

Spike shook Shadow, "Come on, dad snap out of it!" He saw Satar coming towards him, "Damn it!"

Satar swung one of his chainsaws at him, but he missed.

"Dad, please!" He shouted.

Shadow then started to break out of it and looked over to Spike running away from Satar. "Spike!" His right hand started to glow a yellow color, "Chaos Spear!"

Satar yelled in pain as the glowing spear stabbed him in his back. He looked over to Shadow in anger, "Now you wanna fight me huh?"

Shadow gritted his teeth and clenched his fists, "Stay away from my son", he said in a deep voice. A red light started to appear around him.

Spike's eyes widened, "He's transforming into his demon form."

After when he transformed into his demon form, he looked over to Satar in anger. He ran over to him and used his sharp claws and stabbed Satar in the stomach.

The demon yelled out in pain as the claw went in deeper.

Shadow took his claw out of his body letting Satar's body fall to the ground.

The demon's blood had appeared all over the sidewalk.

"Dad, you did it! You killed Satar! Heh, I guess that's one down and thirteen more to go huh?"

The demon faced Spike looking into his eyes menacingly.

Spike was a little afraid about the way he was looking at him, "Dad, are you feeling okay?" As the demon started to approach him more and more, Spike figured that he was after him. Spike took out a handgun and pointed it to the demon's head, "Please, dad don't make me do it."

Just as Shadow was about to kill him, he noticed tears in his eyes noticing he was scared. The demon kneeled to the ground and transformed back into himself again. "I'm sorry, Spike."

Spike dropped the gun on the ground and hugged Shadow, "You had me scared there for a sec."

"I'm sorry, I didn't mean to..."

"It's okay come on let's go home. Mom's probably worried about us."

Shadow nodded and got off the ground following him back to Rouge's house.
