Chapter Three: Light and Darkness

Sonic and Amy had come across Shadow and Kumori, figuring they are the reason the military is after them. "Prepare for defeat…faker" Shadow referred to Sonic. "Who are you calling fake!" Sonic shouted to the pair. "Wow, fast and dumb. You really know how to pick them pinky" Kumori called to Amy. "What did you say?!" Amy asked with anger. "What, can't hear. I said pinky." Kumori repeated. That was the last straw for Amy. She whipped out her Piko-Piko hammer and charged at her evil doppelganger. "Amy, wait we...ah, what's the use." Sonic told himself before charging at Shadow.

Shadow and Kumori watched them head to their direction and was amused by their attempts. "Aww, look Shadow. The kids want to play." Kumori said humorously to Shadow. Shadow just ignored Kumori's joke and kept his eyes concentrated on Sonic. "If this faker thinks he can win, he has got another thing coming." Shadow said out load. Shadow jumped off the defeated walker and charged at Sonic with Kumori followed close behind.

Sonic was the first to strike as he swung his foot around to kick shadow. But Shadow managed to counter Sonics kick with a kick of his own. The two hit collided and forced the speedy hedgehogs to be pushed back five feet. "Not bad, for a faker." Shadow said. "I was about to say the same thing." Sonic quickly replied. Sonic and Shadow jumped into to the air and collided their fists to continue the battle.

With the girls, when Amy got close enough, she swung down her hammer to crush Kumori, but failed. When Amy looked down, all she saw was a crater left by her hammer, but no Kumori. Amy whipped around, hoping to find her but to no avail. "Oh, where could she have gone?" Amy asked to the wind. The bad part was when the wind replied. "Right behind you." Kumori said. Amy turned, only to be greeted by Kumori's fist and sent flying the other side of the plaza.

Sonic looked to Amy's battle and saw send he been sent flying by Kumori. "Oh no, Amy. Are you ok?" Sonic shouted to her, hoping to receive a reply. "I think you should be more worried about your own fight" Shadow's voice came from behind. Hearing this, Sonic swung his fist behind him, but hit nothing but air. Sonic then felt the wind get knocked out of him as he looked down to see Shadow's fist in his gut. "Too slow, faker." Shadow said as he pulled his fist away and kicked Sonic fifteen feet away.

Amy used her hammer as walking stick to get back on her feet. Kumori just laughed at Amy's foolish attempts to try and defeat her. "Ha, you really think you can beat me? What a joke. You know, maybe I should just forget you and kill blue boy instead." Kumori told her. Amy' anger had flared to a new height and with new new-found strength, lifted her hammer to kill the dark copy. "No one hurts my Sonic!" Amy yelled as she charged at Kumori. Kumori smirked as she, once again, used her super speed to get behind Amy. But Amy, not falling for the same trick twice, changed the direction of her hammer to Kumori. "When did she get so fast?" Kumori thought as she was hit by the hammer and sent flying.

Sonic was still hurt from Shadow's punch, but still had the strength to go on. Shadow turned his back to Sonic and said "You're not worth my time. I should have known a faker like you could not match my power." Sonic was determined to find out, once and for all, who the real faker was. Sonic used his super speed to run up to the black hedgehog and deliver a punch, but missed as Shadow stepped to the side. Shadow was about to send a deciding blow to Sonics heart, when the blue hedgehog disappeared. Shadow looked over to see Sonic on the other side, smiling. "Why are you so happy? Shadow asked. Sonic then curled into a ball and used his signature spin dash. Shadow tried to catch Sonic, but the force was too much and was sent flying as well.

The dark duo were thrown by their enemies and collided with each other from behind. On opposite side of them, Sonic and Amy stood proud over the victories of their enemies. "Looks like these two are much stronger then we thought." Kumori said to her partner. "Agreed, that's it, no more holding back." Shadow told her. The dark duo got back on their feet and both smirked as they knew what was about to happen. Kumori removed her silver ring bracelets and Shadow pulled out a green chaos emerald. "A chaos emerald?!" Sonic shouted in surprise. "Yes, and your about to it at its full extent. CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow shouted and disappeared.

Sonic looked around to find Shadow, but it was Shadow that got to him first. Though Sonic couldn't see it, Shadow performed an uppercut on Sonic and sent him high into the air. While in midair, Shadow appeared again and kicked Sonic to another direction. During Sonics flight Shadow had appeared again and kicked Sonic to another new direction. Shadow kept doing this, and to normal people, it looked like Sonic was flying in a wild fashion (think of Lee's hidden lotus attack from Naruto). Sonic was seriously beat up and Shadow decided to finish him off. Shadow appeared above Sonic, clenched his fists together, and delivered a striking blow, causing him to fall to the earth at a high speed and form a crater.

Amy had been watching the entire thing and was horrified at what had become of her hero. "SONIC!" Amy cried out. Kumori appeared out of nowhere and smirked at Amy's expression. "Aww, what's wrong, your little hero hurt?" Kumori said to Amy in a babyish voice. Amy was already angry enough and swung her hammer at Kumori's head. But when it had hit Kumori, she didn't even flinch. "That all. Ok, my turn." Kumori said. Kumori knocked Amy's hammer out of her hands and sent a barrage of punches to Amy's stomach, which sent her flying back. Kumori used her super speed to beat Amy kicked her towards the crater Sonic was in. Once Amy was over the crater, Kumori appeared and kicked Amy down into the crater with Sonic.

After that was done, Kumori put her ring bracelets back on and stood next to Shadow, who was looking down at the defeated hedgehogs. Sonic looked to Amy, who was knocked out, and looked back to the black hedgehogs with anger. "Just who are you?" Sonic asked. "We are Shadow and Kumori, the world's most powerful life-forms. You didn't stand a chance against us." Shadow told him. Then the sound of police sirens filled the air. "Uh oh, we better get out of here Shadow." Kumori told him. Shadow nodded his head I reply. Shadow grabbed Kumori's shoulder and raised his chaos emerald shouting "CHAOS CONTROL!" they vanished.

The police had arrived at the scene where the battle took place and surrounded the crater and helped the pilot out of the walker. "Sir, it appears that the F-6t has defeated the hedgehogs. We are apprehending them right now" the leading soldier said over the radio. Sonic looked up to see military soldiers surrounding him and Amy and only one thought entered his mind. "How are going to get out of this one.
