SCHOOL IS KICKING MY $$, sorry I've needed time to chill before my brain is fried again. THIS STORY IS NOT DISCONTINUED.
As Sonic and Mephiles charged towards each other, each with a look of anger and determination hidden under their helmets, they gave all their attention and strength into trying to knock the other from their horse. Also, in Sonic's case, trying to kill his opponent with his, supposedly, disguised sword. They clashed many times in only the first round, neither willing to lose the prize to the other.
Meanwhile, Shadow and Blaze watched, both in suspense, as neither one went down but gave all their strength into harming the other. Shadow continuously, despite the gag, shout encouragements to her love even if they could not be heard or understood. Blaze was waiting to strike, wanting nothing more than to stab her sword straight into Sonic's heart for everything he's done to Shadow.
(Time Skip because their just riding back and forth at each other)
Both were tied at one win each and making both even more determined, almost desperate, to win. As the final round began, Sonic was ready to end it all. He went to ready his sword, only to realize that he had been tricked from the start. His joust poll was just that, a poll. No sharp blade, no chance to carry out his plan, no guarantee he would win Shadow. He lost his focus, giving Mephiles the upper hand to knock him from his horse. And that's just what he did, knocked him down onto his back and knocked the wind outta him.
Mephiles road up by Sonic. "I have won the joust. Shadow is mine." He said with a tone so cold, it could freeze the blood in your veins. He dismounted and walked over to where Shadow and Blaze were and began to undo the bonds Shadow was tied with, starting with the gag. "Thank you, my love. You have no idea how much I've missed you." She said with teary eyes to her protector and love. Mephiles, instead of undoing the rest of the bonds, pulled her closer.
They shared a kiss that showed all their love and joy and fear of losing each other. All the while Blaze watched on, smiling as the two reunited without going into too much intimacy. It seemed that everyone had forgotten she was even there, especially as one hedgehog pulled out a dagger and started towards the still kissing couple, raising his arm to strike the king. She leaped from the tree, drawing her sword, and blocking the strike that would have ended Mephiles' life.
The noise of steel clashing drew the attention of the couple, one in fear for her and her king's life, the other ready to kill the monster that stole his love and DARE to, quite literally, STAB HIM IN THE BACK! He drew his own dagger, "GET SHADOW OUT OF HERE AND GET TO THE CASTLE!" Mephiles shouted. While he engaged Sonic, Blaze did just that. She cut through the leash holding Shadow to the tree, then cut the rope binding her arms and legs. She grabbed Shadow's wrist, pulled her up and ran as fast as she could. "RUN AND DON'T LOOK BACK!" Blaze shouted when Shadow started to resist, yelling for Mephiles.
Shadow didn't want to leave the one she, literally, just reunited with after nearly a month and a half of pain, humiliation, and torture. Though she knew if she stayed there was a very good chance she might be captured again, so she ran. Hoping Mephiles won and would return to her in one piece and with minimal injuries to himself.
