SONIC ADVENTURE 2: SHADOW
Disclaimer: I do not own the Sonic characters, only Kumori.
Chapter Six: Rematch
The clouds rumbled as the storm grew much fiercer by the second. The rain was bashing down on Sonic and Shadow as they just stood there, waiting for the other to make a move. The heavy rain knocks off a stray leaf from a tree and slowly let it fall to the ground. The leaf then hits the ground and the two rivaling hedgehogs begin their match to see who is best.
Sonic and Shadow used their super speed to run up to each other and attempted to punch each other. The fist collided and created a small shockwave from the force of power. "You're much better then last time, faker." Shadow, surprisingly, complimented. "And I'm just warming up. Check this out." Sonic said. Sonic and Shadow pushed away from each other and resumed their fighting stance. Sonic opened his hand and a blue sphere appeared in it. Shadow was confused at what this blue sphere in Sonic's hand might be.
"I've been saving this little trick for a special occasion. SONIC WIND!" Sonic shouted. Then a blue whirlwind surrounded Shadow and was attacking him in multiple directions. The whirlwind shot Shadow up into the air and caused him to crash with a loud thud. Shadow got back up to his feet and stared at Sonic with, what seemed to be excitement rather then anger. "I am impressed you managed to create a powerful technique. But you're not the only one with hidden abilities. CHAOS SPEAR!" Shadow shouted as several yellow arrows appeared out of nowhere. Sonic was fast enough to avoid most of them, but one did hit his shoulder and another grazed his right leg.
Sonic winced at the hot, burn feeling that came, but got over it quickly. Sonic looked at Shadow with equal enthusiasm as his opponent. "Not bad, Shadow. I was almost impressed." Sonic said mockingly. "Oh, don't worry, you'll get to see more of my powers soon enough." Shadow told him. Shadow charged at him once more to continue the battle.
On the other side of the island, Kumori and Amy were also engaged in a heated conversation. "Looks like its raining. I suggest you go back inside before you catch a cold, little girl." Kumori said, mocking Amy. What did you say?!" Amy was getting angry (obviously). "Go home; this is no place for little girls. Especially ones that are useless to their friends." Kumori told her. "What do you mean?" Amy asked. "Face it, when it come to adventure, you're the first one caught." Kumori told her.
"That's not true! You don't know anything about me!" Amy shouted. "Eggman told me everything about you, Amy. In all of Sonic's adventures, you always play the role of the hostage." Kumori told her. "Shut up." Amy said quietly. "You're always getting Sonic in more danger. It's a wonder why he is still your friend." Kumori continued. "I said, SHUT UP!" Amy yelled as she pulled out her hammer.
Kumori was expecting her reaction, but what she wasn't expecting was Amy to move at such a fast pace. Amy moved so fast that Kumori did not have a chance to avoid her hammer. The strike from her hammer not only sent her fly through the air, but through the building wall as well. Kumori pulled herself through the hole and back up to her feet. "Ok, note to self: never make pinky mad." Kumori said silently. Kumori looked up and saw Amy charging at full speed and avoided her attack with her super speed.
"Well it's obvious I can't hold back on her anymore." Kumori said. Kumori removed her silver ring bracelets and was ready to finish Amy off. Kumori ran at super sonic speed and sent her fist directly at Amy's gut. Amy was sent through the same wall as Kumori and throw through more walls until she was on the other side off the building. Kumori put back her ring bracelets and walked through the former prison to find Amy of the ground, knocked out.
"Ha, I knew she was useless." Kumori said as she began to walk away. She turned her back to Amy and then a strange sound had caught her ears. Kumori turned around and found Amy stand up again and raised her hammer. "But how? I hit her with all my strength" Kumori pondered. While Kumori was lost in though, she did not notice the hammer coming down on her until it was too late. The hammer had hit her dead center and plowed her to the ground, which caused a small indent in the pavement.
Kumori was too weak to move and knew it was over. "I don't understand. I am superior, so why did I lose to her." Kumori asked herself. Amy was proud at her accomplishment and looked over to the side to see the blue chaos emerald that Kumori dropped. Amy grabbed the emerald and lifted it into the air, saying "Who's useless now?"
But her victory was short lived as a bolt of lightning struck the emerald and sent a wave of blue electricity coursing through her body. Amy dropped the emerald and fell to the ground, unconscious. Kumori had been watching the entire incident and had enough strength to say "You don't see that everyday."
Eggman was still fight Tails back on the harbor. Judging by the many dents and scratches on both vehicles, in looked like either one of the walkers were about to give. Then Cram ran up to Tails telling him "Tails, I broke Amy and Sonic out of prison." "Good work, Cream." Tails told her with a thumbs up. "Even if they did get out, there is no telling if they will survive the explosion." Eggman told him. "Explosion?" Tails questioned.
"You see, I sent my two best agents to plant bombs on the two main gas lines of the Island." Eggman explained to him. "But that will cause the entire island to explode!" Tails exclaimed. "Exactly, now we only have…" Eggman trailed off. Eggman looked at the clock on his walker and shouted "We only have one minute to get off the Island!" "Hurry Cream, climb on." Tails told her as he transformed the Tornado II back into plane mode. Cream climbed into the passenger's seat and asked "But what about Sonic and Amy?" "We have to hope for the best." Tails told her as the Tornado II took off.
Back with Sonic and Shadow, the two were gravely injured and the battle was about to come to an end until. "Shadow, are you there? Come in Shadow." Eggmans voice came from the radio. Shadow pulled his radio and asked "What is it, doctor?" "Shadow, the island is about to explode in one minute. We have to get out of here now!" Eggman shouted. "Shadow, I'm still trapped inside the building." Rouge said over the radio. "Shadow…help…me." Kumori sounded weakly. "Kumori? ar you there? Kumori?!" but no response came. "Looks like we have to finish this some other time." Shadow told him as he pulled out his green chaos emerald
"CHAOS CONTROL!" Shadow shouted. Then Shadow disappeared along with Eggman, Rouge, Kumori and the chaos emeralds. "One minute, this is bad. I have to find Amy quick." Sonic said as he ran off though the jungle. Inside the building, the bombs were down to their last five seconds and then were set off. In the air around the island, Tails and Cream could only watch as the island had been engulfed in a large explosion.
"Sonic…Amy." Tails said sadly, knowing they didn't survive. They had both lost hope until. "Tails look." Cream said. Tails looked over and out of the explosion, came Sonic holding Amy in his arms. Sonic landed on the wing, but collapsed as soon as had grabbed onto it. Tails looked over Sonic and Amy and quickly flew off to the nearest city hospital.
The scene soon reaches to the moon or more specifically inside the moon. Inside the moon was what looked to be a high-tech laboratory and soon the entire dark crew landed there. "What happened?" Eggman groaned. "Did anyone get the license plate off that truck?" Rouge said dazed. Rouge looked to her surroundings and saw Shadow looking out a window, staring at…Earth? "Where are we?" Rouge asked.
Kumori managed to gather enough strength to stand and recognized, almost instantly, the place they were in. "This is Space Colony: ARK. This is the place where me and Shadow were created." Kumori told the two. Kumori walked over to Shadow and asked "Why did you bring us here, Shadow?" But Shadow gave no response. Kumori placed her hand on his shoulder but when she did, Shadow had collapsed from exhaustion. "SHADOW!"
