Hey guys! I decided this chapter I would start using my POV system. This is where I will choose a character who's POV the story would be told through at the time. That's all so here the chapter!
Rise of the Chosen One
Chapter 5: Beginning of a new adventure
Shrine of Beginnings: Inner Chamber: Shadow's POV
Shadow stood still in that room for what seemed like an eternity before the family of supposed 'guardians' began to explain why they were here. "We have gathered you here because the end of the world draws near."" Koza began to explain, "One of you is the Chosen One, the only person capable of destroying the great evil that will attempt to plague this world. You and your mentor will travel between the seven shrines of the Chaos Emeralds to be tested to figure out which one of you is the real Chosen One. To gain access to these shrines you must have the Chaos Emerald of the shrine." Koza continued to explain.
I looked around the room at the other candidates. First I saw the three that had attacked me that night. Great, just great, I already have three enemies in this room. Who else is there? There is a purple wolf and a white and orange hedgehog as well. He had a Pink hedgehog with three quills that spike up like mine with him. She also has a light blue stripe going down her forehead. "Any questions?" Koza asked. The white and orange hedgehog spoke up first, "Are we going to be assigned each Chaos Emerald?" He asked. I laughed out loud bringing everyone's attention to me, "That has to be by far the stupidest question I have ever heard!" I exclaimed, this was just a waste of my time. Tell me which emerald I'm after so I can go get damn it!
"Come again?" The hedgehog asked. "Did I stutter? I said that-"Bang! My head was spinning as the hedgehog had punched me in the head.
Sonic's POV
Oh man, this guy has no idea what he's getting into. I've seen Shadow angry, but when he got up off of the floor he looked majorly pissed. "Oh you've done it now; I'm going to rip you apart!" Shadow yelled as he charged the hedgehog. "Damn it Zaos!" Kaiza yelled at the white and orange hedgehog. "I've got this." Zaos yelled as he caught Shadow's fist in mid swing, "Bring it on Shadow."
Zaos's POV
This was going to be too easy. I caught Shadow's second fist and tossed him over my shoulder. He landed on his feet but before we could continue…"Hold on!" Shento yelled, "If you're going to fight at least take it outside!" "Fine then, I don't have any problem with that-"That's all I got to say before Shadow punched me through the wall.
Field next to the Shrine of Beginnings: Zaos's POV
I landed in the field that we had traveled on to get here. I immediately got up from the punch only to avoid a second one from Shadow. "I guess I had that one coming, since I hit you with a cheap shot." I said after dodging another punch. "You'll be in pieces when I'm done with you!" Shadow yelled as he kicked me in the side. I grunted before I grabbed his leg and swung him around three times before releasing him, sending him flying into the ground. "You should give up while you have the chance." I said before the ground exploded with energy. Shadow floated out of the ground, but his gold rings were gone. "What?" I said. "DIE! CHAOS…BLAST!" Shadow yelled as the immediate area was destroyed by a red blast. Two words came to my mind as the blast approached me, "Holy crap!"
Sonic's POV
I had raced outside just to see Shadow say those terrible words, "CHAOS…BLAST!" Uh oh. The area where Shadow and Zaos were was engulfed by a red blast of Chaos Energy. "That's not good." I said as a certain pink Hedgefox ran out from the building, "Zaos!" She yelled as she ran toward where the blast was. "Hey! Wait a second!" I yelled as I tried to stop her from getting close to the battle. As the blast cleared both Shadow and Zaos were still standing, though Zaos looked a little worse for wear. Shadow didn't give him any time to recover as he threw some Chaos Spears at Zaos however, "Stop!" The blue Hedgefox put herself in front of Zaos to shield him. "Jewel no!" Zaos yelled, yet Shadow couldn't stop the attack. Just as it was about to hit her however I intervened. "Chaos Dash!" I yelled as I collided with Shadow's Chaos Spears before they hit Jewel. An explosion occurred which knocked me backwards, but I got back up quite quickly.
"Zaos! Are you okay?" Jewel yelled as she tackled him in a hug. "I'm okay Jewel; it'll take more then that to get rid of your big brother." Zaos replied to her. I walked up to Shadow who was looking rather grumpy. "What's up with you? You seem like you woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning." I said to him trying to figure out why he was so angry. "Well when someone punches me in the face I usually react with anger Sonic." Shadow replied frustrated that Jewel had interfered in his fight.
"That fight shouldn't have happened anyway." Shento said as he approached Shadow. "You were both out of line; you Shadow should not have made that comment…" Shento said turning his head to Zaos, "…And you need to control your angry and not punch everyone that makes you angry. Now if you both don't mind, my family and I would like to get back to telling everybody which temple they are supposed the head to first." Shento said as he turned and headed back to the temple. I followed him.
Shrine of Beginnings: Inner Chamber: Sonic's POV
I walked back up to Larnet and my friends as we awaited our assignment so to speak. I was assigned to head to the blue Chaos Emerald temple first, Shadow got red, Shade got white, Shallow got purple, Crush got green, Ark got cyan and Zaos got yellow. "Well let's go find that emerald then!" I yelled as I ran out the door.
Larnet's POV
"That guy has way too much energy." I said as I started to follow Sonic out the door. "I'm off to follow Sonic; I'll see you all later. Come on Tails, you too Amy." I said as I walked out the door. Sonic's two friends ran after him faster then I did. I knew I could catch him when I wanted to and besides, I'm decided to let him run for now. He'd be searching for the emerald soon anyway so might as well let him enjoy himself.
Shadow's POV
Shadow watched as Sonic ran out the door, preparing to search for his Chaos Emerald. "Over energetic fool." Was all that I could say. "Well we better head out as well." Shento said as he headed toward the door. "Humph." I said as I followed Shento out the door. "Wait for me!" Rouge said as she ran after us.
Zaos's POV
"Well I think it's about time we get going as well." I said to my sister. "You bet! We'll find our Chaos Emerald before any of the others do!" Jewel yelled with enthusiasm. "We better go now if we want to have any time to search for the emerald before sundown." Kaiza said as he approached the pair. "Alright then, let's go." I said as I walked toward the door.
"Whatever awaits me during this adventure…I'll meet it head on!"
Short chapter this time, but I'm going to make the next one really long. Also wow! I posted two chapters and a one shot story in one day, that's gotta be a new record. Anyhow see you guys next chapter!
