Alright guys, here it is the last chapter of Shadow vs. Negaduck 2. Please leave reviews of what you thought. Now let's drive right into it.
The multiple battles that had once raged all over the palace had now been decided. The winners of those battles were now making their way back to the throne room, where one battle was left undecided. The battle of Shadow vs. Sonic and Negaduck vs. Darkwing was still raging on.
Sonic and Shadow had locked hands and were now trying to shove the other. Darkwing ran up and punched Negaduck in the stomach, the in the face. But then Negaduck kicked Darkwing in the stomach, then head-butted him. Darkwing stumbled around in a daze. Then as he turned around Negaduck punched him once more across the face, and it looked like a bad hit. Darkwing fell to the ground. Sonic looked over and had seen this; Sonic quickly pushed Shadow aside to the ground and ran over to collect Darkwing.
Sonic ran over and stood above Darkwing. Then Sonic leaned down and began shaking him.
"Darkwing, Darkwing." He said as he did so. The duck hero slowly began to awaken. He slowly sat up groaning."Are you alright?" asked Sonic patting Darkwing on the back.
"Yes." groaned Darkwing as he held his head. At that time Shadow walked over and stood next to Negaduck. The two shared a similar glance.
"If you wouldn't mind." said Shadow to the two heroes. The two looked up at their counterparts."May we continue?" Sonic grabbed Darkwing's arm and helped him to his feet.
"Yea." replied Sonic as he locked eyes with Shadow once again.
"Bring it on evil doers." said Darkwing as he was now returning to his charismatic old self."You shall be beaten by the hand of justice." The combatants now stood and stared each other down once again. But then there was a newcomer, the sound of footsteps was drawing closer to them. The four looked over to the source of the sound. Then moments later the red echidna Knuckles appeared dragging the defeated Megavolt behind him.
"Knuckles!" said Sonic in excitement.
"Megavolt" said Negaduck in shock that one of his minions was defeated. Knuckles still had an angry look on his face. Knuckles threw the body of Megavolt at the two kings. He landed at the feet of Negaduck. Negduck looked in shock at this, Shadow stood next to him but he didn't seem to mind as much.
Just then another figure appeared behind Knuckles. Espio walked into the room right behind him.
"Another one." said Negaduck in even greater shock that another of his minions was defeated.
"Alright." said Sonic in excitement, feeling that his side was now winning.
"Good to see you two back." said Darkwing as Knuckles and Espio walked towards them.
"This can't be happening." said Negaduck stressed out as he pulled on his hair.
"Calm down." said Shadow, Negaduck looked over at him."Some of them are still unaccounted for."
"But none of ours are accounted for!" said Negaduck in an angered and stressed tone.
"Relax." said Shadow."The more opponents there are the more fun the fight will be." The four heroes now stood watching Shadow's over arrogant attitude and Negaduck's break down.
"But the battle still rages on." Sonic looked up and when he did Shadow was on him. The black hedgehog lunged forward and punched Sonic across the face, sending the blue hedgehog flying back into the wall. Then Shadow charged him once again. He ran forward and kicked Sonic in the head, ending the blue hedgehog deeper into the wall.
Negaduck charged Darkwing, but when he got close enough Darkwing grabbed Negaduck by his jacket and slammed him down to the ground. Negaduck quickly got to his feet. But when he did Darkwing punched him in the face, and then tried to do it again. But that time Negaduck caught his fist and then punched Darkwing in the face. Then Negaduck kicked Darkwing in the stomach. The hero stumbled back. But then Knuckles and Espio both were charging at Negaduck. This was bad for the mallard king, he knew he couldn't take them on the way he was. So then Negaduck did the only thing he could do. He bent over and stuck his arms up, as if he was powering up. A second later he was no longer himself but a galvnaized version of himself once more. The last time he used it was when he had taken over saint Canard with Shadow.
Both Espio and Knuckles had fought against galvanized Negaduck before and were now match, but maybe now because of their training they would be able to face him.
Both Knuckles and Espio swung their fists at Negaduck. But egaduckw as quick he sidestepped Knuckles' attack and then ducked dodging Espio's. The two warriors moved a few feet forward after being dodged. The two turned around to see Negaduck standing there confidently.
"Come on." He said to the two. The two fighters then sprung into action again. The two jumped forward and tried to hit Negaduck again. This time Negaduck dodged Knuckles' attack and then punched him in the stomach, then turned over and punched Espio in the stomach as well. The two fighters had been hurt severely; they felt as if the wind was knocked out of them. Negaduck now held the two in his hands. Slowly Negaduck opened his fists and spread his fingers. Then Negaduck shot an energy attack from both his hands. He shot Knuckles and Espio sending the two flying into the wall. The two had been beaten. Negaduck stood basking in his victory.
Just then Darkwing jumped up out of nowhere and karate chopped Negaduck in the head. Negaduck's head shifted and his body moved a little. Then his soulless eyes glanced over at Darkwing. Darkwing upon seeing Negaduck's fearsome look stepped back a little, but still ready to fight. Just then Negaduck raised his arm and opened his hand. Darkwing was in shock and disbelief at what he saw. The next thing that happened was Negaduck shooting Darkwing with an energy attack. The super hero flew into the wall and landed next to Knuckles and Espio. Darkwing now felt really accomplished with himself. Then Negaduck turned his gaze over.
He saw Shadow walking towards him carrying Sonic's body in his arms. Then Shadow dropped the body at Negaduck's feet.
"It's all over now." said Shadow.
"Yes my partner it is." said Negaduck."The battle is over and Saint Canard is ours once more."
Then at that time a beaten looking Bushroot and Liquidator walked into the room.
"So you're both still alive?" asked Shadow as the two walked towards him. It was ten that Negaduck turned around and the duo saw him in his galvanized form.
"Sire are you alright?" asked Bushroot to Negduck.
"Of course I am you fool." replied Negaduck."However you two should both be ashamed, sine you two weren't here I had to go into my galvanized form to fight."
"We're sorry, sir." both Liquidator and Bushroot said as they dropped to their knees. It was then that Negaduck walked pasted the two, Shadow as close behind.
Just then a familiar looking robot appeared form the shadows.
"Well look who it is?" said Shadow noticing his friend had made it through the fight. He having believed that Omega had done battle elsewhere when in fact he did not.
"Where have you been?" asked Negaduck to Omega.
"Searching the area." replied Omega."For any more enemies."
"Don't bother anymore." said Negaduck as he turned his back to Omega."All the enemies have been eliminated."
"No." said Omega."There is still one more." Although his alarmed Negaduck he didn't turn around to face Omega.
"Oh, really?" he asked "Where?"
"Here" was all Negaduck heard from Omega. The giant robot now stood behind Negaduck with his arm turned into a rocket, and then Omega shot Negaduck in the back. Negaduck was sent flying into the wall. Omega then turned to Shadow.
"This is not us." He said to him."This is not what we do." He would have said more but then Liquidator and Bushroot quickly jumped on him, subdued him and held him to ground. Shadow all the meanwhile stood by in shock.
Negaduck slowly rose out of the rubble from the wall and slowly made his way over to Omega.
"Hold him." He ordered. Omega could not free himself from Liquidator and Bushroot's grip. Negduck hovered over the robot, preparing to deliver a killing blow. Omega looked up at Negaduck then took a glance over at Shadow. The ultimate life form didn't look as If he' do anything; he looked like he was still in shock. Negaduck swung his hand down, but it never reached Omega.
Shadow had jumped over and was now holding Negaduck's hand preventing him from killing Omega. Negaduck's hand shook as he became more enraged. Just then Shadow pushed Negaduck aside. The mallard flew into the wall. Liquidator and Bushroot left Omega and then went to their fallen leader.
Shadow turned over to Omega and helped him up.
"I understand now." said Shadow to Omega. At that moment Negaduck got up and stared down the duo.
"Traitors." He said.
"No." replied Shadow."I'm just a realist. I realize now that this ruling with an iron fist isn't my kind of thing. I'm more of the sit on a beach and relax kinda guy" Shadow then looked up at Omega, his friend who had taught him that lesson.
"Fools." said Negaduck."For your treachery you will learn what it means to cross a god." Then Negaduck turned to Liquidator and Bushroot."Take them." The two did as they were told and charged Shadow and Omega.
Liquidator lunged at Shadow, but Shadow dodged. Liquidator jumped again swinging his fists. Shadow sidestepped him once again. Then Shadow kicked Liquidator in the back. Liquidator turned around and threw a water ball at Shadow, but Shadow quickly dodged.
Bushroot ran up and charged Omega. But the robot was quicker and punched Bushroot in the head, sending him to the ground. Bushroot looked up as Omega prepared to stomp on him, so he quickly rolled out of the way. Then Bushroot got up, stepped back and then wiggled his fingers. Just then a vine monster came bursting from the floor and charged Omega. But the robot quickly turned his hand into a flamethrower and shot it at the beast. The fire engulfed it, turning the beast into a pile of ash. Omega was still standing when the smoke was clear.
Negaduck watched the fight, his anger growing even more. His two minions were being beaten by Shadow and Omega. It was then that he decided to take matters into his own hands. Negaduck began to build up an electric blast in his hands. Shadow and Omega continued to fight and didn't notice Negaduck. Negaduck was aiming for Shadow but with Liquidator in the way h couldn't risk it.
Liquidator swung a fist at Shadow, but Shadow dodged. Then shadow kicked off the ground and flew a few feet back from Liquidator.
This was his chance Negaduck fired his blast. Nobody had noticed. While the blast flew towards him Liquidator lunged forward in an effort to keep fighting Shadow. Liquidator ran up and swung his fist, Shadow dodged and then kicked off the ground once again flying out of harm's way. However Liquidator wasn't so lucky. For Liquidator was in the fire path of Negaduck's attack. Then suddenly it hit him.
The electricity swarm all around Liquidator's body, he howled in pain as his body was being electrocuted. Then after a few moments he fell to the ground defeated. One down one to go for Shadow.
Shadow and Negaduck were the first to realize what had just happened. Negaduck looked at Shadow with a hateful glare. The two then turned over to Omega and Bushroot.
Omega punched Bushroot in the stomach which sent him flying into the air. Then Omega grabbed his foot and slammed him into the ground. Then as he lay on the ground Omega put his foot over Bushroot's body. Then Omega turned his hand into a gun and pointed it at Bushroot's face.
"No." was all Bushroot could scream before a gunshot rang out. Then Omega removed his foot from Bushroot's body and walked forward. Shadow walked as well, and then the duo stood beside each other as they stared down Negaduck.
And the mallard was now very frightened. All of his minions had been defeated and no he had to fight Shadow once again. Last time they fought Negaduck couldn't beat him in his galvanized form, not to mention Omega would probably be fighting now, so it would be two on one.
"Now then" said Shadow."What do you say we end this?" Negaduck looked at the two in shock; he had to think of a plan. Shadow and Omega walked towards Negaduck.
"Wait." said Negaduck as he held up his hand stopping the two in their tracks."Answer me one thing Shadow." The black hedgehog waited to hear the question."Why would you give up all this?" asked Negaduck as he held his arms up as he was referring to the palace and the life they could have had."We could have been gods, the world bowing at our feet. Why would you give that up?"
"Like I said." spoke Shadow."This isn't really my thing. I'm much more of a relax on a beach kind of guy."Al fell silent then, as the question was asked it only made way for the battle to come."Now are you ready?"
Negaduck didn't reply but only looked around in shock. There must be something there that could help him. And then he saw it a sparkling green gem, the mystic eye. Negaduck began to think of it's powers, the ability to take the powers of others. He then looked around at the bodies of the fallen fearsome five. It was a long shot but I's worth a try Negaduck told himself.
Shadow and Omega were coming closer to him. It was then that Negaduck jumped in the air, and landed next to the mystic eye. He quickly picked it up and held it in his hands.
"Now learn what happens when you cross a god." said Negaduck. Then an evil laugh followed as he pointed the gem to the bodies of his fallen comrades. Then he zapped himself.
A cloud of smoke filled the room as all the energy surrounded Negaduck. Shadow and Omega watched covering their eyes. And then all settled, the smoke began to clear away and the duo could now see their opponent.
He had grown greatly in size. His arms now long vines, his legs made of water, his head had Megavolt's helmet. Negaduck laughed again as he looked down at Shadow and Omega and observed his body.
"Yes." He cackled."Now this is the body of a god."
"Omega." said Shadow. The robot looked down at him."I think I'm gonna need some help on this one." Shadow looked up at Omega.
"Of course." said Omega. The three now locked eyes with each other.
"Are you ready to face me?" asked Negdauck.
"Affirmative." said Omega.
"Always." said Shadow. Then the three kicked off of the ground with their legs and raced towards each other. The clash of the three caused a large gust of smoke and energy to burst throughout the castle.
It was at that moment that Sonic began to stir. He slowly lifted his head from the ground, groaning slightly as he rose to his feet. Then he turned around and saw something odd.
He saw Shadow and Omega vs. Negaduck.
Negaduck swung his arms at the duo, the two separated. Shadow jumped up and kicked Negaduck in the face. Omega turned his arm into a saw and ran by Negaduck cutting his legs in half. Then giant Negaduck then fell onto the ground below.
"What's going on?" said Sonic. It was then that he saw Negaduck rise up from the ground and stand over the duo. Shadow jumped up and tried to kick Negaduck, but the giant swung his arm and slammed Shadow into the wall."Whatever it is." said Sonic."I don't think I wanna stick around for it."
Sonic then turned around. He saw the bodies of Darkwing, Knuckles, and Espio. So Sonic quickly went over to them. Darkwing was first so he went over to him, he shook his body.
"Darkwing get up." He said. The mallard slowly awakened. Just then the palace shook and debris came down from the roof.
"What's going on?" asked Darkwing. Sonic looked back at the battle.
"Another battle." told Sonic as he saw Omega charge Negaduck.
"Then we must help." said Darkwing as he rose to his feet, but pain ten shot threw his body as he stood up.
"I don't think there is anything we can do." said Sonic as he put his hand on Darkwing's shoulder. Darkwing looked Sonic in the eye. He read his expression and then agreed with him.
"What should we do then?" asked Darkwing.
"We should get the others and leave this place." said Sonic."I don't think this building will stand for much longer." Darkwing nodded and then the two made their way over to the bodies of Knuckles and Espio.
Meanwhile Omega was running around Negaduck shooting at him with a machine gun. The bullets were like bee-stings to the giant Negaduck. He turned and tried to hit Omega with his arm. The robot jumped up, dodging the attack as he continued to fire of his machine gun. Then Negaduck shot a bolt of lightning from his head. Omega dodged once again.
But the lightning bolt fired and hit against the wall. It hit a cloth that quickly caught fire.
Omega jumped up and turned his arm into a missile, then he fired it at Negaduck. The missile flew through the air and hit Negaduck in the face. The mallard was stunned and his head rocked back and forth. Just then Shadow sprang up from the wall and jumped at Negduck. Then he kicked the mallard in the face. Then Shadow landed next to Omega.
The mallard ten turned to face them. He then shot another lightning bolt from his head. The duo quickly dodged, jumping to the left and right. Then Negaduck swung his arm along the ground. Omega was hit by it and twirled in the air. Shadow however jumped onto the arm, then began running on it. He started running up towards Negaduck's head. Negaduck noticed this and tried to stop Shadow, Negaduck shot another electric bolt at Shadow. But the black hedgehog ducked avoiding the bolt. Negaduck shot another, Shadow jumped over it this time. Then Shadow ran up and kicked Negaduck in the face. Then Shadow jumped onto his bill. Negaduck shook his head trying to throw Shadow off, but Shadow held on. Then Shadow ran up and punched Negaduck in the eye. The mallard shrieked in pain as he held his eye.
On the ground Omega observed all the action. Then he stepped back, turned on his jetpack and flew forward. Omega flew straight forward and hit Negaduck in the stomach. Negaduck flew back into the wall, while Shadow did a flip and landed right next to Omega.
Negaduck slowly began to stir to his feet.
"How is it possible." He bellowed."I am a god, how can you ants hurt me?"
"It's quite simple. "said Omega."You being bigger doesn't make you that much stronger, in fact now you're just a bigger target to hit."
"And to be honest." added Shadow."I don't think you're that much more powerful from your galvanized form."
This angered Negaduck, the fact that two weaklings two ants dared to mock him.
At that moment the fire that Negaduck started when he fired a lightning bolt now quickly spread all through the room and to the palace. In one second it was a small flame, the next a raging inferno.
Outside now exiting the palace was Sonic, Darkwing, Knuckles, and Espio. The four had made quick time to get out of the burning building.
They looked back for a moment as they saw the flames totally engulf the building. Then they kept on running, wanting to get as far away from here as possible.
They kept running until they were many yards away on a small hill, looking down it they could see the burning building glowing in the night.
It was then that they saw a few figures on the hill below them. Upon peering down they saw the missing members of their group Rogue, Julie-Su, Mighty, and Vector.
"Guys." called out Sonic as he approached them with his small group following. The four turned around and saw them.
"You guys are alive!" said Vector in excitement.
"Of course." said Espio."How else would we be?"
"I thought we were the only ones who made it out of there." said Vector. Knuckles approached Julie-Su.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
"Yes." she replied."Just a little shaken."
"Do you need anything?"
"No, I'll be fine." She assured him. Knuckles then put his arm around here. Now the whole group looked down the hill at the burning building in the distance.
"So what happened?" asked Mighty."Are Shadow and Negaduck dead?"
"No." told Darkwing. Everyone became frightened and looked at him."It might sound odd but the two are actually fighting."
"Why would they be fighting?" asked Vector."Aren't they allies?"
"They might have been." said Sonic."But I would guess that Shadow had a change of heart and decided to become a good guy."
Rogue smirked; she was the only person in their group that really knew Shadow. And she knew his true motives. She knew how he hungered for battle and how much he liked it, so she knew his real motives for changing. She knew that the life of luxury wouldn't fit him for too long.
The inferno raged around the three fighters. Although there was the impending doom of being burned alive none of them were willing to back down, and they were more focused on the fight than the fire. However Negaduck's watery legs were now weakened by the fire.
Negaduck shot another electric bolt at the two. Shadow and Omega dodged. Negaduck shot another. The duo dodged once more.
Just then a piece of burning wood fell down from the ceiling and hit Negaduck in the head. The duck turned his attention above, as more falling pieces came at him. So ten Negaduck opened his mouth and shot a water ball at the pieces, washing the fire off them. The duo was this as another chance.
As Negaduck was distracted Shadow jumped up and kicked him in the stomach, while Omega ran forward and tackled threw Negaduck's watery legs. Negaduck was stunned by the first blow and immediately fell onto his back following the other.
Shadow then jumped onto Nehaduck's chest. But then Negaduck swung his arm and hit Shadow off of him, Shadow flew into the wall. But then Omega jumped forward turning his arm into a flamethrower and shooting fire onto Negaduck's arm.
The super mallard jumped to his feet shrieking in pain, while Omega ran over to comfort Shadow. Negaduck was so dazed he ran around and slammed himself into the wall, while holding his arm in pain.
"Are you alright?" asked Omega to Shadow.
"I've been better." groaned Shadow as he rose to his feet. Then as the two looked over they saw Negaduck standing before them once again, the flames burning around him. The duo rose to their feet and prepared to continue fighting.
The two charged Negaduck. Negaduck shot an electric bolt at the two, but they quickly separated and dodging the attack. Then Negaduck swung his arm at the two. Omega dodged and then grabbed onto the arm and began a tug of war with Negaduck. Meanwhile Shadow ran up the arm.
Just then Negaduck lifted up and swung Omega, Shadow who was on his arm flew as well. The two flew into the wall. Then as they laid there Negaduck reached down and grabbed them.
"And now." He said as the two looked up at him."It's over." Then his eyes glowed as he was about to deliver the killing blow. The duo looked at him in anger.
But then there was the sound of a crack from above. The three looked up. The entire ceiling surrounded by fire had now broken down and was falling towards them. The three each let out a scream as the roof collapsed on them.
Up on the hill the heroes saw everything. They saw the building collapse and the fire die around it. Everyone was now in a state of shock.
"No." screamed Rogue. Then they all quickly ran down into the city. They came to the burned remains of the building. All they could see was burned pieces of wood. The stone statues of the two lay destroyed in the rubble.
The group searched all around, under all debris, but there was no trace of any of the three fighters. The only thing they found was Negaduck's red hat.
"Do you really think they're dead?" asked Darkwing to Sonic as they watched everyone else looked for the two.
"We were fooled into thinking he was dead once." replied Sonic."I'd believe anything now."
"Nobody could have survived this." said Darkwing. A brief moment of silence followed as sonic considered Shadow and Omega for dead.
"Well." He said after a few moments."They died the way they lived; I don't think this end would have disappointed them." Darkwing nodded in some agreement. Then the two heroes walked away, expecting nothing to come from the search. Slowly the other heroes abandoned the search and left as well. The last one to leave was Rogue.
She turned around taking a final look at the last resting place of the dynamic duo of Shadow and Omega. Then she left.
Silence came next on the destroyed area; the silent blow of the wind blew in the air. But then under a pile of wood and rock something was moving. The debris began to move, like something under it was pushing it. Then suddenly a large red and yellow robot and a black hedgehog covered in dirt appeared.
'That was one hell of a ride." coughed Shadow.
"Affirmative." replied Omega. Then the two stood and observed the scene of destruction. Then Shadow looked up at his robotic friend. After all the excitement and all the chaos there was only one thing he wanted to do.
"Come Omega." said Shadow as he took a few steps forward."Let's return home." Omega took a few steps forward and stood by Shadow's side. Then the two walked off together on their way home.
The End
