Jason charged at Shadow at full speed and attacked. The blow was blocked but still made Shadow stumble backwards.
"You're gonna pay for what you've done, Shadow." Jason said. "You corrupted Wave. You hurt Blaze."
"Correction, Jason." Shadow said. "You corrupted Wave when you got her killed. Her anger and hatred wasyour doing."
Jason attacked with full force, almost knocking Shadow's sword out of his hand.
"That's it, Jason. Use your anger to win."
"You're not gonna trick me into turning like you did to Wave so you can just forget it. I can control myself."
Shadow swung and Jason blocked then stepped to the side and countered. Shadow jumped backwards to dodge the attack.
"Finally." Shadow said. "A challange."
The two charged at each other and launched an arsenal of attacks ranging from punching and kicking to sword thrusts and swipes. Both blocking each other's attacks. They were evenly matched. They both swung and ended up in a sword-lock. Now it was a power struggle.
"I'm more powerful than you, Jason. It's no use."
"Nothing's more powerful than someone with a purpose." Jason said. "I will beat you."
"Good luck."
Shadow stepped to the side and Jason stumbled forward. He held his sword behind his back to block Shadow's attack. He kicked Shadow in the stomach, spun around, and attacked. Shadow blocked but stumbled backwards. Jason kept attacking and Shadow kept backing up. Jason swung but Shadow jumped back and held up his hands in front of him.
"Chaos... BLAST!" he yelled, and a red orb of energy erupted from him.
Jason held up his hands to try to hold it back. It was kind of working. As the edge of the red orb hit Jason it slowed down.
"I can't hold it!" Jason yelled.
Just then a stream of fire struck the side of the orb and Jason looked behind him. Blaze was struggling not to fall down while she launched a continuous stream of fire at the orb. She slowly took large steps forward to try to hold back the attack.
"Blaze!" Jason said. "What are you doing? You're hurt!"
"I know... what... I'm doing." she said. "Trust me."
He looked back at the massive orb in front of him. He was starting to slide backwards.
"It's no use!" Jason yelled. "It's too powerful!"
"Don't... give... up." Blaze said, increasing the power of her fire.
The power of the orb was starting to damage Jason. It ended up knocking him backwards.
"Jason." Blaze said. "Please. Get... up. I can't... do it... alone."
Jason struggled to get to his knees and looked up at the orb. It was slowly getting bigger. He stood up and launched a continuous stream of fire as well. He greatly increased the power of the fire as did Blaze.
"We're still not powerful enough!" Jason yelled.
"We'll need to go... full power."
"You think you can do it?"
"No... choice."
"Then let's go for it."
They both concentrated all of their energy and increased the power of the fire to its maximum. The orb started to shrink but Shadow increased his power, too.
"It's no use! We can't do it alone!" Jason yelled.
"You won't have to." Wave said, stepping next to Jason and launching a continuous stream of Dark Energy at the orb. She then proceeded to increase its power to its maximum. The stream of Dark Energy turned pitch black and looked as if it was trying to consume the Chaos Blast orb. The extra power was exactly what was needed. The orb began to rapidly shrink until it imploded against Shadow and then exploded. What happened?, Jason thought. Did we win?
