Rise of the Chosen One

Chapter 3: Traveling the training road

Road to the shrine: Right Fork

Sonic and the others had been traveling down the road for most of the day. Off in the distance the sun could be seen setting pointing out that it is near the end of the day. "Alright everyone we'll camp here for tonight" Larnet announced as he pointed at a small grassy plain on the side of the path. "Oh come on! We got plenty of time left, let's keep going!" Sonic yelled still full of energy. He obviously was not ready to stop.

"I think the other will agree with me Sonic." Larnet said bluntly as he pointed toward Tails and Amy. They were both worn out from all the running Sonic had been doing all day. It was rare for Amy to ever become tired from chasing Sonic. "Ya I pant am going to have to pant agree with pant Larnet" Tails was saying in between breaths. "Oh fine." Sonic said as he went over the lay down. "Don't get too comfortable Sonic, we still have training to do!" Larnet yelled at Sonic. "WHAT? Why does everyone else get to rest while I still have to work?" Sonic yelled with confusion.

"Because to qualify in my families eyes to even have a chance at being the chosen on you must have either mastered Chaos Control, Blast, and Spear or have master an advance Chaos technique." Larnet explained to Sonic. "Well that seems kind of lame." Sonic replied annoyed that he had to learn anything more about Chaos Energy then he already knew about. "Like it or not Sonic this is how it is, so DEAL WITH IT." Larnet said annoyed that Sonic was acting like a child about this.

"Fine can we get started then?" Sonic asked, if he was going to have to do this then he wanted to start now. "Alright then, the technique you will be learning is called the Chaos Dash." "Chaos Dash?" "Yes Sonic, this ability is a variation of the Spin Dash you use, only it is combined with Chaos Energy making it powerful enough to rip a mountain in half." "Whoa." "Exactly Sonic, this technique is very dangerous, so you must learn to control it or you could risk hurting yourself and everybody else around you. Luckily since you already have experience using the Spin Dash you should be able to master this technique no problem." Larnet said finally finished with his explanation. "Then let's get started!" Sonic yelled with enthusiasm. "Alright then, here is how to use the technique…" Larnet began.

Road to the Shrine: Left Fork

Shadow continued to walk forward; it was what he had done for most of his life. He continued walking until Shento spoke out loud, "We should set up camp for the night, it's starting to get dark out." Shento said calmly. Shadow pondered this for a moment before walking over to a grassy plain on the side of the road. It was perfect for camping as he removed his pack and began to set up his tent. He was done within a matter of seconds and walked back over to Shento who had finished setting up his tent just as fast.

"Am I correct in assuming that you would like to see all of my powers?" Shadow asked Shento apparently already knowing what he was going to ask. "Yes, I am aware that you know Chaos Control, Blast, Spear, Arrow, and Lance. But I have a feeling that you know more then that." Shento relayed his knowledge to Shadow. "Yes you are correct in assuming that. I know one more Chaos technique that is more powerful then any of the others." "Would it happen to be the all powerful Chaos Cannon?" "Yes it is, I will show it to you." As Shadow finished he got into the stance of the Final Flash, his hands accumulating energy into them. "CHAOS CANNON!" Shadow yelled as he thrust both of his hands forward and a giant beam of red energy shot out of his hands into the sky.

"What the hell is that?" Sonic yelled looking at the red beam in the sky. He was to say the least, exhausted from the training he was going through and was surprised to see the giant beam of energy in the sky. "That must be Shadow's Chaos Cannon. I never imagined it would be so powerful." Larnet said knowing exactly what it was. "That's Shadow's energy?" "Yes Sonic, it would seem he is quite powerful." Larnet said. Sonic couldn't comprehend it, Shadow never had this much power before…All the more reason for Sonic to continue training so that he could become stronger then him!

Shadow was panting heavily after the blast. That move had taken quite a bit of energy from him; he had to remind himself that it was only to be used as a last resort. "That was impressive Shadow." Shento said as he dug through his pack looking for something. As he found what he needed he rose and walked toward Shadow, "Here eat this. It's a Senzu Bean, when you eat it you will regain all of your lost energy and even heal completely." Shento explained as Shadow ate the bean. Shortly after he felt all of his strength return to him, he felt great! "That bean works wonders; I'm back at 100%!" Shadow exclaimed with delight. "Good then it's about time we get started on training."

"We can't train here, the area would get destroyed and anybody around us would be in danger." Shadow explained worried about Rouge if they were to train here. "Don't worry Shadow; I know a perfect place, follow me." Shento said as he flew up into the sky. Shadow followed shortly after with his speed.

Wasteland on the Left Fork

Shento landed just as Shadow had arrived at the wasteland. "Yes, this place will be perfect." Shento said looking at the area around him. "So are we going to spar now or are we going to waste more time Shento?" Shadow asked waiting for Shento to give him the signal to start. "First Shadow I want you to power up to full strength." Shento said to Shadow. "Whatever you say." Shadow put his arms into an x in front of him (power up position) as he began to power up. He started to yell as his power continued to rise until it reached its max where he flung each of his arms to each side of himself.

"Nice power level Shadow, somewhere around 17000 if I'm not mistaken. But its not quite as high as mine." Shento said referring to his 21000 power level. "Oh really? It seems that you've forgotten one important fact about me Shento." Shadow said snickering. "What's that Shadow?" "I can increase my power by removing my inhibitor rings!" Shadow yelled as each of his ring began to fall off. Shento said two words, "Uh oh."

Play I am…All of Me

Shadow began to scream as his power level skyrocketed, "Shento, you have no idea what you're up against…I am the Ultimate Life Form, Shadow the Hedgehog!" Shadow yelled as his power hit the max (Power level: 22500). "CHAOS…CONTROL!" Shadow yelled as he teleported. "He can use Chaos Control without an emerald?" Shento yelled as he was punched in the face by Shadow, which sent him flying. Shadow teleported after him and proceeded to punch him in the stomach 5 times before sending him flying again with a kick.

Shadow chased after Shento again and repeatedly punched him in the face! After the eighth punch he grabbed his leg and spun around 5 times before letting go and throwing Shento into a nearby mountain! "Is that all you've got Shento?" Shadow asked sarcastically as he waited for Shento to get up. "Your stronger then I thought Shadow…However." Shento said as the rocks around him exploded! "I am stronger!" Shento screamed as he charged toward Shadow. 'Just try your luck…" Shadow said as he ran toward Shento.

Shento and Shadow began to rapidly through punches and kicks at each other which collided with each other! Shadow then jumped back, "Chaos Spear!" Shadow yelled as he threw the spear of Chaos Energy at Shento. Shento dodged the spear and prepared his own attack. Shadow jumped back and threw his hands to both sides of himself. "KA…ME…HA…ME…" Shento started to chant. "Eat this, Chaos Cannon!" Shadow yelled as he brought both of his hands in front of him, releasing the giant red beam of Chaos Energy at Shento. "HA!" Shento yelled as he thrust the blue beam forward to meet Shadow's Chaos Cannon. The result of the two beams clashing was a beam struggle.

"This is where I win Shadow!" Shento yelled as he beam inched toward Shadow. "Not on your life" Shadow yelled as he put more power into his beam. "Fine then…" Shento said and his power level sky rocketed! The Kamehameha started to easily overtake the Chaos Cannon. "What? Where is he getting all of this power?" Shadow yelled. "I've always had it, I just hid it until now." Shento said calmly (Power level: 135000) "No Way!" Shadow screamed as the Kamehameha tore through his Chaos Cannon and hit him dead on. The large explosion occurred from the impact.

"Take that Shadow…" Shento said as he walked toward the crater.
