Chapter 9 Dark & Shadow

Sonic unleash his dark chaos blast while Shadow counter it with his pure chaos blast. The attacks met and a very huge explosion was made as it cover the whole sky. Flare who was still slow down, was free as the shockwave blasted her away into the park. She recover in time and hover next to Jumper and Freeze. "what's going on? Who is fighting Shadow?". "…its Sonic but something is wrong with him" spoke Freeze as she watch the fight go on. "that's Sonic? It can't be! My scanners are picking up huge dark energy from the fight!". no one said anything as they continue to watch the fight.

Sonic dodge Shadows pure chaos spears and counter with his Dark Wind. Shadow didn't have time to block it and took the hit. As Shadow spin in the air, Sonic grab him and pulled him closer. Sonic then started to punch Shadow over and over again in till he broke free with chaos control. Sonic smile as chaos spears appear all around him. The spears hit their mark and Shadow reappear above the explosion and smile. "there's no way he-". Shadow stop talking as he felt Sonic behind him. Shadow slowly turn and saw Sonic hand in his face. Shadow was blasted by Chaos blast in close range. As he recover from the attack, his face was cover in blood. "I don't understand! Were is this dark power coming from? He gets more powerful every second!" said Shadow to himself. Sonic slowly hover over to Shadow and laugh. "we can't believe how weak you became Shadow!". "weak! I show you how powerful I became Sonic! Take this!". Shadow summon the black clouds again and did chaos rain. Sonic just hover there as the attack hit him. Shadow became shock to see his spears bounce right off Sonic body. "yawn! Is that it?" tease Sonic. Shadow smile as the clouds grew more darker. "how about this then! PURE CHAOS RAIN!". soon raindrops came raining down and hit Sonic. The raindrops was like bullets as it shot up Sonic. As the attack ended, Shadow spoke. "how you like that?" laugh Shadow. "I got to admit. That was strong but it hardly hurt". Shadow watch as Sonic rose up and his wounds quickly heal. "that's two misses! One more and your out!" said Sonic as he rise one finger. "that's it! No more holding back!" yelled Shadow as green energy gather in his hands. "DOUBLE PURE CHAOS LANCE!". Shadow unleash two huge lance and as both lance went flying to Sonic, they both became one very, very huge powerful lance. Sonic smile as the attack hit him. The explosion was so powerful that the city was almost level. Everyone on the ground was holding on something so they won't be blasted away from the powerful shockwave. Shadow was breathing hard as he lower his arms. "its over!" said Shadow as he smile. "your right! Its over!". Shadow became shock to see Sonic still alive as the smoke clear. "that's three Shadow! Your out!" laugh Sonic as he charge at Shadow. Shadow had enough energy for one more pure chaos spear as he threw it at Sonic. Shadow watch as the spear stab Sonic in the chest but to his horror, Sonic pulled the spear out and threw it back him. The spear stab Shadow in the shoulder and in a blink of a eye, Sonic appear in front of him and knee kick him three times and the last kick sent Shadow into the park. Freeze and the other watch as Shadow limp his way out of the crater. Just then Sonic landed in front of him but backwards and rose hand into the air. A dark energy ball appear and Sonic turn his head and smile. Shadow fell to his knees and couldn't move. "bye-bye! Darkness End!". Sonic was about to unleash the powerful attack but he stop as he and the others heard his name. Freeze turn to Blaze and heard her calling Sonics name while still unconscious. Soon the dark energy ball disappear and Sonic return to normal but still in the werehog form. Sonic fell to his knees and pass out. Shadow got up and limp his way over to Sonic. Just then Freeze jump in front of Shadow. "I won't let you kill him!". Shadow grin and walk pass her and Sonic. "…return here at midnight…" whisper Shadow. "why?" reply Freeze. "…so I can give you the last chaos emerald…you do want Sonic back to normal?". with that said Shadow warp away. Soon the whole gang arrive and ask what happen.

"what? Where am I?" ask Sonic as he saw skyscrapers in front of him. "you finally woke up!" said a dark voice. Sonic realize he was back in the world were he release his dark self. "why? Why do you still resisting me?". Sonic turn and saw dark Sonic hover there. "you!" said Sonic as he stood up and was standing on the side of the skyscraper like before. "I'm more powerful than your others selves!" said Dark Sonic as he wave his hand to reveal Super, burning, freezing and werehog Sonic in front of him. Sonic saw the werehog form and realize he was normal again. "tell me! Why do you pick them over me?". "the reason why…because I won't go insane like when you take over my mind forcedly!". Dark Sonic laugh for awhile and finally spoke. "forcedly? You're the one who calls me! In every battle your losing in, you call for me!". Sonic realize he was right as Dark Sonic walk up to him. "the next time your in a battle, don't fear me! Cast away your fear and let me in!". soon the skyscraper world slowly disappear as Sonic spoke. "…I can defeat Nazo on my own…". "you can't and you know it! With me you can have unbelievable power!". "…I can?". "yes…and now wake up". soon everything was gone and Sonic could hear his name.

Sonic open his eyes and saw he was in the med-wing of the Hyperion and still in werehog form. "your finally awake I see" said Mother as she appear in Sonics face. Sonic scream and soon felt someone hugging him. Sonic turn his head and saw Freeze. "your awake!". Sonic smile and hug her back. As Sonic let go of Freeze, he saw Jumper, Flare, Mother and Breeze around him. "hey guys…wait! What happen to Shadow! Did I-". "No. he's still alive. Half of the group is looking for him since he didn't have enough power to leave this dimension. The rest are fixing the ship. That powerful attack that Shadow unleash on you did some damage to the engines…seeking of power. Sonic…we saw what you became back there" spoke Jumper as he sat in a chair. Sonic look away in shame and spoke. "…so you saw Dark Super Sonic then". "Dark Super Sonic?" said everyone. "its like Super Sonic but way more powerful". "I see…" said Jumper as he turn to a sleeping Blaze who was in bed as well and saw her move. "anyway lets talk about something else…". Jumper turn to Flare and Flare realize why he wanted to change the subject. "…y-yeah! You want to see Blaze. She over there". Sonic got out of bed and headed to the exit. "Sonic?" said everyone. "I could careless about her…" spoke Sonic as he walk out of the room. Freeze quickly went after him. Jumper and the others turn to Blaze and heard her sobbing.
