Author's Note: Dearest apologies to everyone whom are reading this fan fiction and are desperately waiting for a new chapter to be posted. I've been mostly focused on my Youtube channel, trying to get some subscribers and people to watch my vids. If you're curious, please go to Youtube and search for DEValken and check it out for at the same time I was also, yet again, battling with depression due to some drama in which I don't wish to talk about. Back on topic, I'm planning to end this fan fiction soon; hoping to get it to at least eleven or twelve chapters before I work on my next writing project. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter!
Chapter Eight: Darkness Versus Light
The time has finally come for Shadow to end his life threatening misery and hopefully to get his happiness back; but this time with Amy in his arms. Standing next to him was Amy who was possessed by Maria's spirit; getting ready to put Mephiles' life and terror to an end. Within Amy's hands a light began to form as she took her fighting stance and before Shadow's very eyes he watched the light transformed into a large hammer that was crested in gold and iron. Shadow took hold of his sword and gets himself in his fighting stance. From only a few feet away from them was no other than Mephiles himself who was preparing to make the first move. Everyone's eyes looked at each other with fierce determination burning within them before a sudden change filled the air; as if time stood still. Within on swift move, Mephiles disappeared from sight, causing Shadow to observe the premises around him before hearing Amy speak in a goddess like voice which belonged to Maria, "Look up Shadow and prepare to block."
Shadow was rather baffled by her intelligence that he took action a bit late, he got stuck in the face with one of Mephiles' blades; making his right eye bleed. Shadow hit the ground hard, growling lowly as he tried to look over at Mephiles, speaking out in anger, "Mephiles, you bastard!" he cupped his eye, trying to stand up, "I'm not going to give up… I'm going to be sure that you're dead on the ground; even if I have to end you with one hand!"
A dark chuckle surpassed Mephiles' lips as he took a step closer to Shadow, smirking from ear to ear before speaking in a sly tone, "Heh eh eh… with one hand you say… that can certainly be arranged."
With one swift swing of his blade, Mephiles cleanly cut through Shadow's left wrist; decapitating his hand from his body. Shadow growled lowly in pain as he fell to the ground, blood pouring out of his wound as his vision began to blur. All he could see was a dark shadow figure standing over him with a pair of glowing red and green eyes staring into his soul. Mephiles' dark chuckles began to echo within Shadow's eardrums before hearing his demonic voice, "Looks like this battle ended before it even began… let me just finish you off, to put an end in your misery."
Before Mephiles could even lay a hand on Shadow, he was pushed away and far up into the sky by the powerful swing that Amy made with her weapon; preferably known as the Piko Piko Hammer. The loud groan of Mephiles echoed from the sky to far down below, the vibrations of his voice made Amy's eardrums ring fiercely before shaking her head. Amy began to slowly awaken as Maria continued to possess her body; starting to fly into the air and prepared to lay another hit onto Mephiles' body. Amy's eyes continued to glow even more vibrant before narrowing with fierce anger, raising her hammer while waiting for the perfect moment to strike. With an echo of two voices blending with one another, both Amy and Maria spoke in a stern tone, "Mephiles, your reign of terror ends today. Meet your fate!"
She made one powerful swing which made a direct hit towards Mephiles' head, making hi spiral down towards the ground. Once making impact, he continued to go down into the Earth, creating a crater inside the soil. Amy slowly hovered herself down safely and checked on Shadow; his body becoming cold and limp. Her hands began to tremble as she slowly took his body and held him close to her frame; a tear slowly streaming down her face as it dripped onto his body.
"Sh-Shadow…" spoke out Amy's voice, "I…I love you."
"Let me take care of him…I promise to bring him back to life…but I can't guarantee to heal his wound on his eye; nor guarantee that he'll get his left hand back." Spoke Maria deep within Amy' mind.
"I don't care… I just want him back… I love him so much…" Amy paused, "I can't lose him now."
"Very well, Amelia… I will leave you to finishing Mephiles off." Maria stated before her spirit came out of Amy's chest and floated over to Shadow, letting herself sink into his torso.
Amy wiped away her tears as she got on her feet, clenching onto her Piko Piko Hammer firmly before looking over her shoulder. She looked into the deep crater that was created from the impact of Mephiles' fall, shaking her head before releasing a discouraged sigh. She knew something wasn't right, the cold chill running down her back said it all. Slowly, she took in a deep breath and uttered out a few words from her lips, "You're not give up that easily, are you?"
A dark chuckle echoed within the deep crater as a set of glowing red and green eyes appeared from the very bottom, "You're indeed very wise than you appear to be…but tell me did you expect… THIS to happen?"
The ground beneath Amy's feet began to rumble and crumble beneath her feet as her eyes began to widen in shock. Before her very eyes, lava and water began to form from inside the crater; Mephiles being inside of it all. The odd combination of elements continued to fill the crater before it started to create a monstrous form; a form that Amy doesn't herself fighting against, especially on her own.
"Wh-what the hell is that?!" Amy exclaimed out with a hint of fear within her voice.
"What's the matter Amy? Scared of a little competition? Too bad that Shadow is dead and can't save you now!" Mephiles yelled out before letting a out a few evil cackles which made the monster itself roar a horrific shriek.
Amy covered her ears, the shriek started to make her eardrums ache before being blown away from the powerful roar. She fell backwards into the ground, just a few feet away from Shadow's body. She attempted to move, only to feel strikes of pain lingering throughout her own frame. She ignored as much as she possibly could, crawling her way to Shadow's body as she spoke out in a weak tone, "Shadow… please wake up…."
Nothing happened.
"Shadow…. Please… I beg of you wake up!" she spoke getting a little louder, trying to reach out to him.
Still…nothing happened.
She was about to speak out again when the monstrous creature grasped ahold onto her legs and pulled her away and off the ground. She let out a scream, trying to get out of its grasp when she yelled out, "SHADOW! WAKE UP! SAVE ME!"
'I swear to God Maria… why are you letting me down? Why are you taking so long to get him back? MARIA!' Amy thought deep within her panicking mind as she looked at Shadow's body from sky view, her body dangling dangerously high off the ground.
TO BE CONTINUED…
