(RIVAL: VS Shadow/Trixie)
"Behold my ultimate power!" a series of sharp, glowing, energy filled spears were hurled at Sonic but he quickly evaded them before taking off. Shadow gave chase, leaving Trixie to deal with the girls.
She readied her magical energy as well as Twilight.
"Sit back and watch in awe!" she fired a laser from her horn but Twilight was able to block it with her barrier spell in the nick of time.
Rainbow Dash flew head on towards Trixie only to be overpowered by a shot of magic. The rainbow maned Pegasus was thrown backwards to the group. Applejack tried to lasso the opponent but Trixie simply disintegrated the rope. This gave Twilight a chance to catch her off guard and strike with her magic missile spell. Trixie was hit but got back up and brushed it off like nothing happened.
She then ran, turning back to the group. "Let the Great and Powerful Trixie see if that blue hedgehog has taught you anything on speed!" she called.
Twilight frowned before engulfing the girls in a purple aura of magic. "C'mon girls! I've cast a superspeed spell on us. Now let's get her!" she ordered before speeding off to catch up with Trixie. The others followed.
Sonic and Shadow were locked in a high speed battle, both hedgehogs keeping a good pace with each other.
"Before this is over, I'll show you the true power of chaos control!" Shadow exclaimed right before boosting ahead of Sonic, his speed cone a dark red.
Sonic frowned before doing the same, fighting to keep up with Shadow.
The black hedgehog turned back to face his enemy before charging up power again. "Chaos Spear!" the same spears went flying at Sonic but he was able to quick-step out of the way.
Sonic jumped in the air, seeing Shadow vulnerable. "Now it's my turn!" he exclaimed before unleashing a homing attack on the black blur.
Shadow was sent flying before hitting the cobblestone road and rolling. He was able to quickly get back up despite him still moving and speed up again. "Chaos Control!" he yelled, pulling out a Chaos Emerald and holding it over his head.
Sonic looked back in surprise. "Wait...That's a Chaos Emerald?!" he exclaimed in shock
With a quick flash, Shadow disappeared before reappearing in front of Sonic and proceeding to throw a powerful punch at him.
"OOF!" Sonic careened backwards but quickly recovered and continued running despite his temporary pain. He quickly tucked up into a spindash and let loose, rolling right into Shadow.
Like before, Shadow rolled before uprighting himself. He growled furiously. "Grrr! Playtime's over!" he began charging up energy again.
Sonic smiled, seeing an opportunity to finish him off. He quickly rolled up once more before launching himself in Shadow's direction, beginning to rapidly circle around him.
"Chaos…..BL-" Shadow was soon cut off upon losing concentration and being sent spinning out of control.
Sonic dashed around Shadow, creating a small yet powerful tornado! After a few seconds, Sonic let the winds die before springing up and slammed into Shadow via homing attack!
The black hedgehog hit the ground once again before rolling and eventually slowing down to a stop.
Shadow was defeated.
Trixie jumped in the air before using her magic to keep her airborne. She then proceeded to shower the pursuing heroes with shots of magical energy. Twilight was able to dodge them but the others weren't so lucky.
"Time to settle this once and for all!" Trixie cried.
Twilight glared before blasting away at her foe with shots of magic, unfortunately missing with every shot.
"Is that the best you can do, Twilight? The Great and Powerful Trixie will show you how it's REALLY done!" she began charging up her magic before unleashing it in an explosive blast.
Twilight emerged from the smoke unscathed thanks to her barrier spell. "Atleast I know more spells than you!" she taunted before shooting Trixie with a laser spell. This time it hit.
The light blue unicorn was thrown backwards but was able to recover the same way as Shadow. She took to the air once again before summoning a sword composed entirely of magical energy.
"Take this!" she proceeded to slice at Twilight who successfully managed to teleport out of the way at every swing. She saw her chance to strike and cast a different version of Magic Missile which sent her rocketing at Trixie, tackling her to the ground.
But the corrupted unicorn wasn't finished just yet. She got back on her hooves before going airborne one last time. "Say goodbye Twilight Sparkle! Your time is up!" she exclaimed before charging up all her magical energy left in her.
Twilight quickly got back up but not fast enough. Trixie's massive charge shot was hurled right at the purple unicorn, engulfing her in a large explosion.
Trixie laughed wickedly. "Looks like I'M the better spell caster around here!" her evil grin faded along with the smoke.
Twilight had cast her barrier spell at the last second, enduring the blast but still injuring her. "Not today!" she struck Trixie with her laser spell one last time. This time she stayed down.
Trixie was defeated.
Sonic looked down at Shadow who struggled to stand.
"Urgh...S-Sonic...The Doctor made us do it…" he panted.
A look of confusion came upon the blue hedgehog as he helped his rival up. "Eggman? What was it that he made you do?" he asked.
"We never intended to attack you...He brainwashed us somehow...and made us go after you. " Shadow explained.
Sonic nodded with a frown. "Yep...that sounds a lot like him."
Shadow was able to stand now before handing Sonic two Chaos Emeralds. "Here. You'll need these if you're going after the Doctor and his allies."
Sonic blinked. "Erm...thanks Shad-wait...Allies? So he's got friends with him? Oh boy.." he sighed.
Shadow began walking away in the other direction. Sonic noticed this and cocked his head, puzzled.
"Shadow? Where ya going?"
The black hedgehog stopped but didn't look back. "Hmph. Since we're gonna be here awhile, I might as well take it easy, perhaps make sure none of the doctor's robots are causing trouble for the inhabitants of this city." he informed before walking off.
Sonic watched as he left before running off to find the girls and Tails.
After all, Gallop Cove was the next stop.
