Hey guys, sorry its been so long since I posted a new chapter. I almost completely forgot about the story over the summer, but it won't happen again! But about the story, two new characters will be introduced into this story, the first is a secret but the second is Hikaru, I'm The Coolest's character. He was the one who created Hikaru. Enjoy!
Rise of the Chosen One
Chapter 15: Gods, we have a problem.
*Abyss of Power: Shadow's POV*
Damn it! I didn't know they could form copies! As the Fake Shadow stared at me, he formed a smirk on his face. "What's so funny fake?" I asked the faker across from me. "Just the fact that you think I'm a fake, truth is SHADOW, I hail from a different universe!" The fake said as he charged me. What, different universe? I didn't know what he was talking about, but this fake wasn't going to defeat me!
I jumped in the air to avoid a punch from Fake Shadow and shot multiple Chaos Spear at him. He dodged all of them perfectly and looked at me with that damn smirk again! "I'm from a universe where you DO decide to blow up the Earth! I proceeded to form then; I killed that fool Eggman, and learned that the ARK was like a giant space craft. I traveled across different galaxies, they either bowed to me and sweared their loyalty…Or I blew the planet to smithereens!" The Fake Shadow yelled as he shot a Chaos Spear at me. I dodged it in midair and launched a Chaos Lance at him.
"Ha! Is that all that you've got?!" Fake Shadow said as he easily dodged the lance. He did not know however, that this was a diversion. As soon as he dodged the lance I shot another attack at him, "Chaos Cannon!" I yelled as the blood red beam shot toward my adversary. "NO!" Fake Shadow said as the beam hit him dead on. As the smoke cleared there wasn't a trace of Fake Shadow left. "That's what happens when you mess with the Ultimate Life Form." I said, as I did the room formed back into the hallway I was in, and I was at the end! I walked forward and found a bright red light in front of me, "That's it, the power that I am searching for." I said as I enclosed my hand around the light. I could feel the power flowing through me as I continued to absorb the power. The light slowly engulfed me as I did.
*Yellow Chaos Temple: Zaos's POV*
I finally cleared that stupid final puzzle and made it to the other side. I looked straight ahead and saw a glowing yellow light above a pedestal. I slowly approached it and watched it, this wasn't something you saw everyday. I grabbed the light as quickly as I could and brought it close to me; I could feel its power running into me! I felt very warm as the bright light covered me completely.
*Blue Chaos Temple: Sonic's POV*
I slowly began to exit the temple doors; they weren't much trouble now that I had this power. I easily threw them open, which startled everyone but Larnet. I made my way outside and again, everyone but Larnet gasped.
I was in my Super Form.
I couldn't really believe it myself. When the light had died down I was there, floating in my Super form! I don't know how, but apparently this new power it spoke of was granting me a 10x power increase, and allowing me access to my Super form at all times! This was so totally awesome!
*Red Chaos Temple: Shadow's POV *
I floated outside, and everyone but Shento was surprised about my Super form. He could have at least acted surprised, jerk. But in any case, now I have this ultimate power, I can now truly call myself the Ultimate Life Form!
*Yellow Chaos Temple: Zaos's POV*
I got Super form, people were excited, the end.
*Pathway to Westopolis: Shadow's POV*
We decided to head back to Westopolis to decide what we were going to do that is until we found someone lying in the middle of the road! "What the hell?" I said as we approached the guy. He was a turquoise Hedgefox with one tail, and five quills that stuck straight up about a ¾ of a foot. He had some jeans with a couple of holes in them, a headband around his neck, sneakers, and a black long-sleeved shirt. Heart was the first to approach him, "Uh, mister? Are you okay?" She asked. The man slowly stirred before asking one simple question. "Do you guys have anything to eat?" That was accompanied by the sound of a growling stomach from the individual afterwards. *Anime sweat drop on everyone's heads* "Uh, well we do have a picnic basket…" Heart started but before long the man was bowing, "I beg of you! Please share some food with me! I haven't eaten in 12 hours!" He yelled as he continued to bow. "Uh, is it okay with you guys?" Heart asked as she turned around with twinkle eyes.
None of us really cared, so the guy joined our lunch. As we sat down and set up the food, the guy began talking again, "HURAH! Oh by the way, I'm Hikaru!" Hikaru yelled before he began to eat madly. "Hi! I'm Heart and this is my brother Soul!" Heart yelled pointing at her brother. After everyone was introduced, even myself…, we all continued to eat. All of the food was gone in minutes; Hikaru had eaten most of it!
*Hikaru's POV*
"Ah, that was refreshing. I feel completely recharged!" I yelled as I stood up. Everyone else didn't really seem to care, oh well. I decided to sit back down and find something pretty to look at. Oh, pretty butterfly, ohhhhh, pretty forest! Hmmmmm, oooohhhhhhhh! Pretty Hedgefox! I do think that Heart girl is pretty…Maybe I should tell her that I think she is pretty, I like her! She's nice and let me eat at the picnic! She probably likes me. Yep! She likes me, no doubt about it!
*Shadow's POV*
I've been watching Hikaru for the last 15 minutes stare at random things before his eyes locked on Heart. I tried every evil/death glare in the world on him and he didn't see a single one of them. Now my anger was almost at its peak as he approached her, he better not be thing of pulling anything. "Hey Heart? I think you're pretty! I like you! You wanna go out with-" BAM!
*Third Person POV*
Shadow had apparently had enough of Hikaru's comments by that point, as he had ran and punched him in the face! The Hedgefox was surprise to say the least, as he went flying backwards through the field. "You son of a bitch! How dare you just show up out of nowhere and try something like that!" Shadow said as he advanced toward the Hedgefox. Hikaru was slowly grasping what was going on, and realized that a fight was going to happen. He was excited to say the least. The Hedgefox slowly lowered himself into a battle position, which surprised Shadow, he had expected him to run, not WANT to fight him. "Do you have a death wish or something? Do you know WHO I AM?!" Shadow yelled as he charged a Chaos Spear in his hand.
Heart went forward as if to stop Shadow but Rouge held her back, "The other guy started it, Shadow will finish it." Was all she said as she looked on. Hikaru smiled, "I'm a Saiyan, we LIVE for battle, so I'm glad I'm getting a decent workout." As soon as Hikaru finished his statement, Shadow was surprise, Rouge and Heart gasped, Soul didn't care, Omega felt no emotion, and Shento was taken off guard. "What? That's impossible, the Shanato's are the only Saiyan's in this dimension, or are we?" Shento said questioning his unfinished thought. Shadow clenched his fists, he didn't really care whether this guy was a Saiyan or not. He just tried to hit on his girl, and he was NOT going to go for that.
With a flick of his hand, dozens of Chaos Spears appeared and launched themselves at Hikaru. The Saiyan smiled as he easily dodged all of them and charged Shadow. The two began close quarters combat, and it was obvious who was winning. While Shadow tried to throw a couple punches, Hikaru just dodged them like nothing, and counter-attacked twice as fast! He started punching Shadow in the gut before finishing the combo with a roundhouse to the face! Shadow went soaring backwards and hit the ground with tremendous force. Hikaru chuckled as he watched his opponent get back to his feet.
"What's so funny?" Shadow asked the Hedgefox in anger. "Oh nothing, just that you're much weaker then I originally thought." Hikaru said as he inspected the back of his hand. Shadow's eye twitched for a moment before he regained his composure, then he laughed. "Okay, now what's so funny with you? You're obviously outclassed." Hikaru said as he looked at the ebony hedgehog. He was sure that he'd knocked a bolt loose or something up in that head of his. "You have no idea who you're up against…I'M THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM, SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG!" And with that, Shadow began powering up. A golden light surrounded him as Shadow went Super! He smirked and looked at Hikaru, but he did not get the reaction he was expecting.
"Is that all? Frankly I'm not too impressed." Hikaru replied as he looked at Super Shadow. Shadow was pissed now, this guy was insulting him! "I'm going to kill you, YOU HEAR ME?!" Shadow yelled as he threw some Chaos Spears at Hikaru. The Saiyan smiled, and in a flash of light, he was a Super Saiyan. Shadow was shocked, but he didn't have much time to be shocked because Hikaru had deflected his spears and charged Shadow! The two engaged in combat again, Shadow kicked Hikaru in the face, Hikaru punched Shadow in the stomach, the two exchanged blows until both jumped back for a breather. "What's going on? I was more powerful then him in our normal forms, yet now he matches my power!" Hikaru yelled in his mind.
As for Shadow, he couldn't believe that anyone was this powerful; he was matching him in his Super form! It was unthinkable, yet true! The super powered hedgehog growled as he charged Hikaru again. The golden warrior floated upwards to avoid a punched and brought his leg down on Shadow's head, which sent the hedgehog crashing to the ground. As Shadow slowly got back up, Hikaru began charging an attack, "KA-ME…." He started as the blue sphere formed in his hands. "Not a chance!" Shadow yelled as he began charging his Chaos Cannon attack. "HA-ME….HA!" Hikaru finished as he shot the blue beam from his hands. "CHAOS CANNON!" Shadow yelled as the now gold beam shot from his hands. The two attacks collided, creating a beam struggle.
"You…cannot defeat me…I AM THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!" Shadow yelled as he summoned up more power to his beam. It slowly inched toward Hikaru. "Hehe, sorry to…disappoint you…but…I'M NOT EVEN SERIOUS YET!" And with that Hikaru's power began to skyrocket. In another flash of light his aura was now surrounded by electricity! "NO! He can turn into a Super Saiyan 2?!" Shento yelled as he watched Hikaru's Kamehameha easily overtake Shadow's Chaos Cannon. "This is gonna hurt." Shadow said as he saw he beam destroyed by Hikaru's. Shadow put up his arms to guard himself as the Kamehameha struck him full force. When the light died down Shadow was in some pretty bad shape. He had cuts and bruises all over him and his left leg was broken. "Damn it!" Shadow screamed as he collapsed onto on knee, the pain was overwhelming. Hikaru looked at his opponent before powering down. He turned to go back toward the field before being met with a slap!
Hikaru slowly regained his surroundings, trying to figure out who slapped him, before he realized that it was Heart! The scarlet fox with over tending to Shadow's wounds after slapping the Saiyan Hedgefox. "Why'd she slap me?" Hikaru wondered as he watched the pair. "He's my boyfriend! You back off!" Heart yelled as if reading Hikaru's mind. As she slowly patched up Shadow's wound, Hikaru just sat down on the grass. After she was done Hikaru spoke up, "I'm going to follow you guys." He said rather calmly. "Why?" Shadow asked with venom dripping from his word. "I have the feeling if I stick with you, I'm going to meet some pretty tough opponents, and I can't resist a good challenge!" Hikaru said with a smile on his face.
Shadow was dumbfounded, "That's why you're following us?" He asked, expecting him to follow them for Heart. "Ya, why? Why else would I follow you guys?" Hikaru asked with slight confusion. "Its…Nothing." Shadow said as he slowly stood up, flinching in pain as he did. "Are you okay Shadow?" Heart asked as she reached for him, but he simply held up his hand. "I'll be fine, we need to get back to Westopolis for the night anyway." And with that Shadow began to slowly walk to the city. The rest of the group slowly followed, with Hikaru in the back.
*Blue Chaos Shrine: Sonic's POV*
Me and the gang decided to head back to Central City to sleep for the night, after all, a temple didn't sound like the most comfortable place to sleep. We all slowly walked back to Central City, a good night sleep sounding like the best thing at the time.
*Yellow Chaos Shrine: Zaos' POV*
We all headed back to East City for a good night of sleep, I used Chaos Control to teleport us there, since it seemed like the best option. After I did, the Chaos Emerald flew up and out of my hand! "What's going on?" I asked Kaiza, he should know what's happening. "The emerald has gone back into hiding, waiting for the next candidate to find it." He responded blandly. I sighed, I should've figured that I wouldn't be able to just keep the emerald, but it would've been so much more convenient if I could have.
*Westopolis: Shadow's POV*
We entered the city; the sun was slowly setting behind us. "We need to find a place to stay." Shento commented, looking around at the buildings, trying to find a hotel. I nodded my head, "Westopolis may look nice in the daytime, but at night there's plenty of scum scurrying around." I said as we all looked for a hotel to stay in. Strangely enough it was Hikaru who found it. "OH YEAH! I'M THE FUCKIN BEST!" He yelled as he booked it toward the hotel.
*Anime sweat drop*
"Well, I guess he did find a place to stay…" Heart said as her and Soul slowly followed Hikaru to the hotel. Rouge mumbled something before her and Omega walked toward the hotel as well. "We should go too." Shento said to me as he followed the others. I sighed and followed them all into the hotel. It actually wasn't that bad of a place. It was an average three star hotel with the smaller, sort of fancy but not too fancy stuff. "Can I help you all?" The person behind the counter asked. "Rooms for 6 please." Shento asked the lady. She handed us 5 room keys, "There's 4 single rooms and one double, enjoy you're stay!" She yelled to us as we started walking up the stairs to our rooms.
The only problem was choosing who was going to stay in the double rooms, well, frankly It wasn't a problem to me. If I had to choose it would be me and Heart…God I sound like a perv. Rouge made one of her, 'I've got a wicked idea smirks' before saying, "I think it should be Shadow and Heart, after all they are-" I put my hand over her mouth to prevent her from saying anymore. Heart blushed a little, "Well it wouldn't be THAT big of a deal…" She said twiddling her thumbs.
"I…guess so…" I replied blushing, GOD! I never act like this! Hikaru yawned out of boredom and took one of the single room keys before saying, "I'm gonna go catch some z's, see you all tomorrow!" And with that the Hedgefox teleported from the room. "He is stranger then faker…" I thought to myself as the others one by one took their keys and left, leaving me and Heart in the lobby. "So…should we go as well?" Heart asked in a slightly nervous tone. "Yeah…we should head out now." I said making my way to the elevator. I always act this way around Heart, its so…unlike me. We both made our way up to room number 48, our room. "Well…here we are." I said as I placed the key into the lock and turned it, then I opened the door and stepped into the room. Nothing really fancy, just your average hotel room with the small fridge and stove/oven, a double bed, and a tv set at the end of the bed. There was also a door leading to a small bathroom.
I blushed again thinking that Heart and I would be sleeping in the same bed together…DAMN THESE THOUGHTS! Heart yawned before saying, "I think I'm going to go to bed…" And with that the scarlet fox plopped down on the bed, not even bothering to get under the blankets, and fell asleep before I could even speak a word. "She falls asleep awfully fast…" I said, I sighed. I had always wondered what sleep really was…I never could sleep. I looked down at Heart before I sighed again in defeat. I decided to make my way over to the balcony, which I hadn't noticed when I first walked in, and looked out over the lights of the city. I closed my eyes and thought, if we fail to stop this prophecy, everyone down there…no, everyone in the world will die. I clenched my fists, that was not going to happen on my watch!
*The next day, East City: Zaos' POV*
I woke up as the sun peaked in through my hotel window, damn it, I forgot to close the curtains…I yawned as I awoke, slowly making my way to my feet. I rubbed my eyes before going over to the fridge, pulling out some bacon and eggs to cook for my breakfast. Around 30 minutes later I was sitting at the small table in my room, sipping from a cup of coffee as I ate my breakfast. I was bored, the first shrine wasn't interesting at all, and I was hoping the second one would be more eventful. Around halfway through my breakfast, I heard a knock on my door. I sighed, I really didn't want to deal with anyone right now. I got up and answered the door to find Kaiza standing in front of me. "What do you want?" I asked in a slightly agitated voice. "Don't get all grumpy with me now boy, I just came to tell you our next target." Kaiza replied, ugh, 6 in the morning and he's already talking business.
"Out with it then, which emerald is next?" I asked the man. "The purple emerald is our next target, meaning we need to head north." He replied blandly. "North?" I asked with confusion, "But there's nothing out there." "Fool, that's what everyone believes, the temple is there, mark my words." The Saiyan said before walking back down the hall, leaving me to think. "North…looks like its time to head for the wilderness!" I yelled as I made my way back inside. I downed my breakfast and gathered up my stuff in my pack. I smirked, hopefully there would actually be some adventure waiting out there, otherwise this won't be any fun at all!
*Central City: Tails' POV*
I slowly awoke from my sleep, only to hear the worst sound in the world, Sonic's snoring. "Aw man, I had to end up getting the room right next to his…" I said pouting as my friend continued to snore loudly, I doubt anybody in the hotel was getting any sleep with this, I'm surprised I did. I sighed and went over to the small table in my room; I decided to fiddle with one of my inventions while I waited for Sonic to wake up. I continued tinkering with the small machine until an idea popped into my head. "Tails you are a genius…" I said to myself as I took the little gadget apart and started to rebuild it into something else…
*10 minutes later*
I wiped the small amount of sweat that had accumulated on my forehead off. I smiled with pride as I looked down at the little gadget. To the untrained eye it only looked like a small chip, but oh it was so much more. "Now all I have to do is go wake up Sonic!" I yelled with glee as I gathered up my things and walked out my door and a little way down the hall before I reached Sonic's room. I knocked loudly on the door, but as I expected, no response. "Damn it Sonic…" I decided to take matters into my own hands. I went back into my room and out on the balcony, I then flew from my balcony to Sonic's and entered his room from there. Sonic was passed out on the bed, as I expected. I sighed in frustration before I pulled out the little gadget I had made. I focused…and focused…and focused…until the gadget glowed yellow! "It works!" I yelled. I then strapped the gadget to my hand and held my arm out in Sonic's direction. "RISE AND SHINE!" I yelled at Sonic before the gadget glowed again, shooting a decent sized blast and Sonic and nailing him with it, causing him to fall off the bed!
Sonic landed with a thump! Safe to say he was awake now. "WHO WHA-"Sonic started before seeing me, "TAILS?! WHAT THE HELL?!" I couldn't hold it back as I burst into laughing. Sonic was fuming by this point, "Why you little…" He started and I knew it was time for me to take my leave. I flew out the window as Sonic began chasing me.
"COME BACK HERE TAILS!" Sonic yelled as I flew to the roof of the building and he ran on the wall, trying to catch me.
What did you think? I don't know if it was worth waiting all summer for it but it's currently my longest chapter. Next time things are going to get heated up as the hunt for the second Chaos Temple commences! See you next time!
