Okay some Im updating the day after my last update. Im excited at getting to the final battle of the story.
TOP OF BLACK COMET
Shadow homing attacked Black Doom, who merely swatted Shadow away with his right hand. Sonic also tried a homing attack but Black Doom fired a green orb from his hands and Sonic was sent flying across the floating platform. Shadow raised his palm to Black Doom, "Chaos Spear!"
The bolt of lightning stuck the alien overlord head-on and he let out a small squeal of pain.
"Go Shadow!" Hope shouted from her cage.
"SILENCE!" Black Doom yelled at her.
Sonic took this opportunity to homing attack Black Doom. Black Doom raised his hands in the air and several meteors appeared. He pointed at Sonic and Shadow the meteors hurdled straight at the hedgehogs. Even with there incredible speed, Sonic and Shadow had a hard time dodging all the meteors.
Sonic went for a homing attack but Black Doom held out his palm and Sonic froze in mid-air. Shadow charged at Black Doom and the alien overlord flung Sonic at him. While the two hedgehogs were dog-piled, Black Doom summoned some meteors and sent them all flying at them.
Sonic and Shadow had no chance of dodging them this time. Every single little meteor hit them head-on. In a matter of seconds, they were cut up and covered with bruises.
Shadow was standing with one leg on the ground like he was proposing; Sonic was behind him laying flat on his face. Shadow fired several Chaos Spears at Black Doom. He dodged most of them but the ones that did hit him hit him head on!
"Ugh, I underestimated you…" Black Doom said.
Shadow just glared at him as he wiped some blood from his face.
"But… I have these!" Black Doom said taking out the yellow and red emeralds.
"How did you get those?" Shadow asked.
"The commander was using the yellow one to power his robot, my army found the red one while they were destroying that planet!"
Shadow became enraged, "Maria… loved that PLANET!"
Shadow leapt up toward Black Doom, "CHAOS BLAST!"
Black Doom was knocked right out of the air and he landed flat on his face on the ground. Sonic and Hope were not harmed by the blast, because they were on the other side of the platform. Shadow started to punch Black dooms head with out mercy. Shadow pointed his palm at him, "Chaos Spear!" Shadow shot many Chaos spears at him, until finally Black Doom was defeated.
Shadow ran to Hopes cage and he kicked it open. Hope lunged at Shadow and gave him a bear hug.
"Shadow, you are so cool!"
Shadow just smirked.
Sonic walked up to Shadow and put his hand on his shoulder, "That was amazing buddy!"
Black Doom started to laugh, "This isn't over!"
Suddenly Black Doom vanished, but he left the two emeralds he had. Shadow quickly scooped them up. Suddenly the platform began to shake violently and then it started falling. Hope held on to Shadow tightly and started to scream. Shadow held high the emeralds in his hands,
"Chaos Control!"
The three of them vanished.
The other heroes were just staring at the sky when they saw the platform crash somewhere else on the comet. Rouge gasped. Suddenly Shadow, Sonic and Hope appeared.
"Hope!" Tails yelled running over to her.
"What happened?" Rouge asked.
"I got all 7 emeralds but Black Doom got away" Shadow explained.
Rouge gave Shadow a hug, "I'm so glad your okay" Shadow hugged her back.
Suddenly they heard Black Dooms laughter. The alien overlord appeared over them. They were all surprised. Black Doom shot a beam from his hand which hit Shadow head on and all 7 emeralds flew from his pocket. Before anyone could react Black Doom streched out his hand and the 7 emeralds floated right over to him.
"Finally, I have all the emeralds, now our ritual can begin" Black Doom said.
"CHAOS… CONTROL!" Black Doom shouted, and then there was a blinding light.
The Black Comet it self disappeared and reappeared over top of Station Square! Vines fired from the comet and they stuck into the ground.
"What the hell!?" Sonic yelled.
"They just used Chaos Control to teleport the Black Comet to earth!" Rouge yelled sounding shocked.
"There going to destroy the planet!" Tails cried.
Hope was so scared she grabbed Tails hand.
"Ignorant fools... We're here to save the humans from their own demise. We offer... salvation." Black Doom said.
"What the hell are you talking about!?" Shadow yelled.
"Their greed, thirst for power, and affinity for betrayal has them on a path of self-destruction. Their actions will lead to extinction of their species. We're here to save them from themselves... with our perfect order... allowing them to live through their desperate lives in peace. Humans are a great energy source for us... they will be well-kept." Black Doom explained.
Everyone was too shocked to speak.
"I needed the 7 emeralds to warp the comet to earth because it is not strong enough to pass through another planets atmosphere" Black Doom said.
"Black Doom, The commander said something about you talking with my creator, Professor Gerald, did you… help create me?" Shadow asked.
"Yes" Black Doom said.
"No…" Shadow muttered as he fell to his knees from sorrow.
"The professor was in development of the ultimate life force, but he needed my help. So we made a deal... helped him, and he promised to deliver me the seven Chaos Emeralds. That's how you were created, Shadow. You would help us do both!"
"AND NOW THIS PLANET IS MINE!" Black Doom yelled.
"You haven't won yet" Sonic said.
"Yeah! I'll crush this comet with my bare hands!" Knuckles said throwing a punch at nothing. Knuckles froze, he didn't move or anything, "What the" he managed to say.
"Knuckles!" Sonic yelled suddenly the blue hedgehog froze too! Pretty soon everyone had frozen!
"This is a special gas we developed, breath it in once and your frozen for an hour!" Black Doom laughed
"AW! C'MON!" Sonic yelled trying to move.
Black Doom laughed manically and suddenly two black creatures appeared, each carrying a sword.
"Tear them to pieces!" Black Doom ordered.
Everyone screamed except for Shadow who was just sitting there with his eyes closed, many voices rang in his head…
"Because of you, everyone I knew or loved on the ARK was killed!"
"Shadow… she sacrificed herself to save you because she LOVED you!"
"Shadow do it for me…"
Shadow suddenly opened his eyes a black creature was about to swing his sword at him but Shadow punched it several times at lightning fast speeds. The other one charged at him and Shadow homing attacked it. "What!?" Black Doom yelled.
"I am Shadow the Hedgehog the ultimate life form! I'm leaving the past behind me, and the only way to do that is to destroy you Black Doom!" Shadow yelled.
"I gave you life and this is how you repay me!?" Black Doom yelled. Then Black Doom laughed a little, "The irony of it all is that I gave you life… and now I'm ending your life!"
Black Doom floated away incredibly quickly while Shadow followed.
"Be careful Shadow!" Rouge yelled.
"He's our only hope now" Tails said.
Many Black creatures got in Shadows path; he cut them all down in a matter of seconds. They were shooting at him from all directions, but Shadow dodged every one almost like he could tell were they were going to shoot before they knew were they were going to shoot. Shadow kept up with Black Doom, even though every few minutes the alien would turn around and fire a green orb at him. The chase went on for an hour, Shadow showed no sign of exhaustion from all the running.
Finally they reached a circle platform; it was smaller than the one they did battle on.
"Well done Shadow, you've done better than I expected… I'm impressed" Black Doom said.
"Shut the hell up! You're going down!" Shadow yelled.
"You really don't understand that the future we offer the humans is there only option for survival" Black Doom said.
"What part of: Shut the hell up! Don't you understand!" said Shadow walking towards Black Doom.
"We are more alike than you think Shadow… the same blood flows through our veins" Black Doom said raising his palm. Suddenly, Shadow grabbed his head and fell to his knees.
"Damn you! It's not true!" Shadow yelled.
"It is true… you were created through MY blood" Black Doom said.
Shadow screamed his head was in extreme pain.
"Shadow… I am your biological father!" Black Doom yelled.
ARK
Espio was hacking into one of the Arks central computers looking for information on Shadow, because Knuckles had mentioned that he couldn't remember anything.
"Are you I yet?" Vector asked.
"Yeah, were bored!" Charmy yelled.
"Almost… done, I'm in." Espio said.
"Type in: Shadow the Hedgehog!" Vector yelled.
Espio did as he was told and a video journal of Professor Gerald came up, on it, it said: ONLY TO BE VIEWED BY SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG.
"How are we going to get that to Shadow?" Charmy asked.
"The ARK has a program that can send floating Televisions to any destination" Espio said.
"Well quick! Send a bunch of them to the Black Comet!" Vector yelled.
"Where did the Black Comet go anyway?" Espio asked.
They all looked out the window and saw no signs of the comet.
"Look!" Charmy pointed. Espio and Vector looked to where he was pointing, earth. They could see the Black comet just below earth's atmosphere.
They were shocked.
Espio finally got went to the program and for destination he typed in: BLACK COMET. Several flying TV's flew at the Black Comet.
One landed right in front of Sonic and them, (the gas had worn off and they were on there way to the Tornado 3). And one landed right beside Black Doom and Shadow.
"Shadow my son…" Gerald said on the video.
"Professor Gerald!" Shadow exclaimed.
"If you're listening to this, then the worst has happened… you need to know the truth. The government plans to shut down this research facility and imprison all who know about you. I made a terrible mistake, Shadow... It's my entire fault... making contact with that Comet... Now listen very carefully… In fifty years, the Black Comet will return... They plan to harness its powers to destroy this planet! The only way to stop them... was to develop a way to use the very power THEY intended to use AGAINST them! Shadow... it's up to you and only you can stop them! I developed the Eclipse Cannon... It's the only weapon that can destroy that Black Comet. Shadow, you are the only hope to save mankind as we know it... The future of this planet depends on... you!"
Maria walked up to Gerald during the video, "Don't worry Grandfather! Shadow will protect that planet! I know he will!" Maria said.
Then the video shut off.
"Your too late Gerald, he's already in my control!" Black Doom yelled.
Suddenly Shadow stood up.
"What's this?" Black Doom yelled.
"I know my purpose in life now… to protect earth and to DESTROY YOU!!!" Shadow yelled lunging at Black Doom. Doom Chaos Control-ed away.
"Have it your way, Shadow! Prepare to face my TRUE FORM!" Black Doom yelled although he was nowhere to be seen.
Shadow saw that he left the seven emeralds behind. Shadow walked over to them and they started to float around him. Slowly at first, but then it became faster and faster and faster, until they were nothing but a rainbow circling Shadow. Suddenly there was an explosion of golden light and when the light cleared, there stood Super Shadow. The emeralds were a dull gray color lying on the ground.
Shadow was about to fly off when Sonic and co. arrived.
Shadow pointed to the emeralds, "Get the emeralds, I will destroy Black Doom!"
"Shadow wait!" Rouge yelled.
Shadow stopped and looked at her.
Rouge walked up to Shadow and kissed him on the cheek. Shadow just looked at her he was a tad shocked.
"For good luck" She said.
Shadow smiled at her and nodded, and then he flew toward the sky to face Black Doom's true form, Devil Doom.
