Chapter 18: Betrayal
"Heh heh heh" Shadow laughed.
"Shadow you're alright" Blade sighed in relief.
"Yeah I'm alright but you won't be after I'm done with you!" Shadow said.
"What!? Shadow you feeling alright?" Blade asked in shock.
"I feel fine!" Shadow laughed "I only became the vessel of Halypse so I could gain the power to defeat you in battle Blade!" Shadow then let out a bone chilling evil laugh.
"I won't fight you shadow …" Blade said.
"It's all the same to me Blade, I'll kill you all the same" Shadow said and moved at hyper sonic speeds and punched Blade in the face sending him flying into the wall and busting straight through it.
"Ok you asked for it Shadow …" Blade said "Daichi, Akata, Kazuya run … get the damn hell out of here … this place is going straight to hell …"
"No way! We won't leave you to fight Shadow AND Halypse alone!" Daichi yelled.
"I said get out of here … you'll just get in the way" Blade said as Shadow used psycho cut on him and he narrowly evaded it. "Now get out!!"
"Alright … we'll go, just come back alive" Akata said.
"I make no promises" Blade said and then used irons jab and blitz on shadow sending him flying through the wall. Daichi, Kazuya and Akata ran out of the castle as fast as possible and made it across the Shadow Sea by Kazuya and Akata using blizzard and ice beam.
"Good now that they're gone I don't have to hold back!" Shadow said and at speeds beyond that of before he kicked Blade in the gut but blade caught the kick and threw him into the ground and followed up with an iron jab but the dark barrier of Halypse protected him. Shadow used shadow ball and blew Blade away.
"Heh heh heh … you really think you can beat me when I have the power of Halypse?!" Shadow laughed.
"Halypse … the dark … side of … Arceus …" An idea came to Blade. He held the Gem of Light in his hand. "ARCEUS the god of all Pokemon! Lend me the power of the Light of hope, so that I may defeat Halypse the Dark and save my friend and the world from the prophesized end!" Blade said and the Gem of Light merged with his body. His body became a pure white color, his eyes were a light blue and he gave off an intense pure aura.
"Blade!? No … ARCEUS!" Shadow's voice changed. Halypse took full control of his body now.
"Halypse … I regret that you are part of me!" Arceus said. He was now inside Blade's body.
"Ha hah ha, we split apart and the reaction to our energy is what created this damned world!" Halypse laughed.
"Well Halypse time for me to take you down!" Blade and Arceus' voice mixed together.
"Not a chance Blade! I'm going to defeat you and Arceus!" Shadow and Halypse's voice also mixed. Blade used his Iron Jab and blitz moves to deliver several hundred punches to Shadow sending him ploughing into the ground. Shadow burst out of the ground and delivered a shade fist right to Blade's face. Blade went skidding back. He then used the Pure Flare and it blasted a hole in Shadow. Shadow laughed and with Halypse's power the wound was instantly healed. Blade looked stunned but used the power of the Gem of Light to create a pure aura around his claws then used Iron Jab on Shadow. Shadow used the power of the Gem of Darkness to create a dark aura around his hands and arms then used psycho cut. The attacks impacted with each other and both Blade and Shadow kept up the pressure of their attacks till they both ran out of power and it created an explosion that blew both of them in opposite directions. Blade and Shadow once again use the power of their gems to boost the power of their attacks. They both went at each other with even greater power.
"Give it up Shadow!" Blade said using Iron Jab nailing Shadow in the face.
"Not a chance Blade!" Shadow responded and used fire punch on Blade dealing intense damage.
"Fine … then this is the end of you Shadow! It's time I finish both you and Halypse off for good!" Blade said and charged up every ounce of his power into one final blast.
"Don't be so sure! I'm not going down that easily Blade!" Shadow yelled charging up all his power into his final attack.
"Giga Impact!!" Blade shouted.
"Dark Impact!!" Shadow yelled. They both dashed at each other releasing their charged up power as a last attack. Blade's aura was a pure white while Shadow's was a dark black. They both collided and impact caused the universe around them to spiral out of control, fading in and out of existence. A bright light blinded them both and they were transported some place with nothing in it. It was all white emptiness.
