Chapter 5

Rounds of Blows

"Let's dance, punk!" Shadow said.

"Shadow, what in Mobius Stripe is going on here?" I asked.

"No questions! Give me your all! Fight me!!" He shot back

"Can't we just talk over some afternoon tea?"

Looks at his watch. "It's 10:30." Shadow replied.

"You're watch is still set on Station Square's time." I pointed at the stadium clock. "It's 1:45 here."

"Oh. So, what kind of tea would you like?" he asked.

"Well, I'm starting to like Lipton tea, especially the peach flavored kind."

"Yeah it is pretty go- heyyyyyy! Nice try, but it ain't gonna work on me."

"Well, it did for Cream, and I heard she kick your ass." I shot at him.

Shadow lunged at me. Dodging, I jumped in the air and threw two throwing stars. But, with his back facing me, he side stepped slowly out of the way. Then a chaos sphere hit me from behind. Falling, I flipped to land on my hands.

"You got lucky!" I said.

"And I think my 'luck' so called is just beginning." He replied.

"Sarcasm isn't going to help you defeat me Shadow."

"Sarcasm has nothing to do with your defeat, Jetsu."

"Kick his ass, Shadow!" That same one guy said.

"Shut up before I kick yours." I yelled at him.

"Oooooo, I'm so scared."

"Don't make me come up there and beat your life."

" 'Beat my life'? What the hell does that mean?"

"Want me to come up there and let you find out?"

"Meeeaaanwhile, back on the floating arena, can we get back to the matter at hand?" Shadow interupted.

"Huh? Oh, yeah. Now where was I? Now I remember, I was just about to make your face beat up my hands!" I said.

Shadow smirked, and closed his eyes. Then something weird happened. Something I've never seen done by him before. I could plainly see that his eyes were glowing under his eyelids. But that wasn't what got to me that much. What was even more strange was the fact that his eyes weren't glowing his eye color. Instead it was glowing yellowish gold, almost like my eyes when I'm-

Chaos spear struck me from the back and I fell forward.

Using the speed it gave me (I was falling to the ground from my feet pretty darn fast, too) I rolled and when my feet touched surface again, jumped towards Shadow, whose eyes were open and back to normal now.

I was just about to fake punch into a round house kick when…

Third

Jetsu's round hose kick was a waste of energy. Shadow used Chaos control and disappeared. I jumped back into the center of the arena.

Great, I can't even do Chaos control that well. Jetsu thought.

"Here, seems you need some help. Eggman said.

He threw Jetsu 3 Chaos Emeralds.

Jetsu put them away.

"That's … uhh… very nice of you." Now I can get him good. Jetsu thought

After that thought, Shadow came crashing down on Jetsu. He quickly jumped off to the other side of the arena, while Jetsu spin dashed to the other end.

"Well, that was cheap." I said.

"You're cheaper" Shadow shot back.

"We'll see about that!"

They both ran to the center of the arena, and the real battle began.
