Chapter 6

The beat Down

The definition for conflict is the struggle between opposing forces. I wouldn't call this part of my story a conflict, just for the simple fact that I was getting my ass kicked all over the arena, and Shadow wasn't even breaking a sweat. He wasn't struggling, he was freak'n playing with me. It made no sense at all. I had three Chaos Emeralds, and I couldn't even land a hit on him. He evaded and dodged every, attack, skill, and projectile I threw at him. I even used the skill Espio taught me, when I turn transparent, and I couldn't make any improvements. In the end, I collapsed. And Rouge was right; if I gave him the chance, he'll beat on me again, and again, and again. If I didn't know any better, I would think he would take a lunch break from kick my ass. But, yeah, Rouge was right. Good thing I passed out before he continued. Apparently, though, at some point in the ass kicking fiesta, I fell off the side of the arena.
