Blaze threw a punch but Wave moved out of the way.
"You're gonna have to be a lot faster than that." Wave said.
"Fast or not," Blaze said. "you won't be able to keep fighting with one hand."
"You're right." Wave said, holding out the Emerald.
A cloud of gas surrounded and covered the Emerald. Then Wave threw the Emerald aside, only there was no Emerald.
"What happened to it?" Blaze yelled.
"Nothing." Wave said. "You just can't see it."
"What?"
"The gas covering it hides it from all those who don't have control over Dark Energy."
"Guys!" Blaze said, looking at Sonic and the others. "Start looking!"
"Right!" Sonic yelled, and the others split up to find it.
Wave swung her sword and Blaze ducked.
The Dark Leviathan lunged forward. Jason couldn't do anything but go down. When he was under the water, he saw the Dark Leviathan swim over him. It was pretty big up close. Jason returned to the surface and threw a fireball at the creature. It just dove under water.
"Now why did I think that would work?" The creature didn't surface. "Where are you?"
Jason dove underwater just in time to dodge to the side and avoid being eaten. He pulled out his sword and drove it into the back of the leviathan as it burst out of the water and returned to the surface.
Wave kicked Blaze in the stomach, hard, and sent her sailing across the room. Blaze rolled over and got on her hands and knees, trying to catch her breath.
"Well, this is no fun at all." Wave said. "You're hardly a challenge."
Blaze slowly got to her feet and tried to regain some of her strength. "Well, you're the only one with weapons. It's not really that fair."
"You know what?" Wave said. "You're right." She summoned another Dark Energy sword and threw it at Blaze. "Catch."
Blaze caught it. "You serious?"
"You said you wanted a fair fight, right?"
"Right, but..."
"Enough talking." Wave said.
She walked toward Blaze and swung her sword. Blaze blocked it and tried her luck with an attack. Wave blocked hers as well.
The Dark Leviathan tried shaking Jason off but Jason kept a tight grip on his sword. Eventually the leviathan stopped and tried to catch Jason in its huge mouth. Jason stood up and pulled his sword out of the Dark Leviathan's back. He swung at the leviathan's head as it got near but the creature pulled back at the last second. This went on for about three more times until Jason dove out of the way and made his way to the Dark Leviathan's neck.
Blaze and Wave kept attacking and blocking each other's attacks with a flurry of sword swings. Looked like something out of Star Wars. Sonic felt under a table for the Emerald but couldn't feel anything. Tails searched near the edge of the room and ended up tripping over something. He looked down at the floor and saw nothing. He knelt down and felt around until he touched something hard. He felt for the edges and picked it up.
"Guys!" he said. "Found it!"
Wave and Blaze were in a sword-lock. When Wave heard Tails announce he found the Emerald she used Dark Energy to knock Blaze to the floor. Then she made her way to Tails.
"Um, guys?" Tails said.
Sonic zipped in front of Wave. "I don't think so."
"Oh, please." Wave said, sending out a massive shock wave of Dark Energy that knocked everybody to the floor. She stood in front of Tails. "Hand over the Emerald, fox boy."
"No!" Tails said.
"As you wish." Wave said, raising her sword.
"Hey." Wave turned around and Blaze drove her sword through Wave's stomach. "You left me no choice." She let go of the sword and backed up.
Wave looked down at the sword. "Foolish girl." She quickly pulled out the sword and stabbed Blaze.
"NO!" Tails yelled.
Wave drove the sword in all the way until the handle stopped its progress. Wave leaned in close to Blaze and said, "Did you really think you could have killed me with my own sword? I would never have given you a way to beat me." The sword disappeared and Blaze fell to the floor. "Now to collect what's mine." She snatched the Emerald from Tails, summoned her E-Gear, and took off out the door.
Jason crawled onto the Dark Leviathan's neck. It tried to shack him off and ended up flinging him upward. As Jason's ascension was slowing down, he saw the leviathan tilt its head back and open its mouth, ready to swallow him whole. As Jason began his descent he fired a fireball down the creature's throat, causing it to stick its head in the water to extinguish the flame. As it's head surfaced, Jason had just enough time to drive his sword through the top of the Dark Leviathan's head. The creature let out a loud roar and its head fell along with Jason, slapping the water causing a huge splash. Then the leviathan began to sink, leaving Jason without a flotation device.
"Well, that wasn't so hard." he said, swimming back to the Sky Shadow.
He pulled himself out of the water and looked around.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Wave." Sonic said.
Jason saw Blaze. "How's she?"
Tails looked at him. "Wave stabbed her."
"What?" asked Jason. He ran over as fast as he could and knelt down in front of her. "You okay?"
Blaze coughed. "Not sure." she said.
Jason looked at the wound. "Wow." he said. "You're so lucky."
"Lucky?" Blaze coughed. "How's this lucky?"
"If Wave had stabbed you a couple of centimeters to the left we wouldn't be having this conversation."
The others saw that he was right. The sword had missed her stomach and gotten her on her left side.
"I guess that is pretty lucky." Blaze said.
"Come on." Jason said. "Let's get something on this wound to stop the bleeding." He looked at Tails. "Does this ship have a Medical Bay?"
"You bet." Tails answered. "I know how dangerous our mission's can get."
"Nice work." Jason said.
He and Sonic helped Blaze to her feet and followed Tails to the Medical Bay.
