Chapter Nine: Darkness Versus Light; Mephiles' End
Amy's voice continuously echoed within Shadow's mind, seeing nothing but utter darkness. Soon, a bright light appeared, shimmering before Shadow's subconscious red eyes. He rubbed his eyes in disbelief, seeing Maria being beautifully radiant as ever. He wanted to reach out to her, making sure that what he sees was true. A soft set of giggles surpassed the lips of the radiant beauty, speaking in a calm tone, "Shadow, never think twice on what you see. It's truly me, Maria Robotnik but I'm not human anymore. I'm rather known as your guardian angel and I do have a quest just as much as you do."
"A quest? No… I must be dreaming….or dead…I have no quests!" Shadow exclaimed, "I wasn't brought forth onto this world for a quest."
"Oh? I do believe you're forgetting something, dear." She spoke as a clear image of Shadow's past was shown between them, "You were created by Dr. Eggman to destroy Sonic…but instead you've followed your own path."
"…" He became quiet as his past continued to be shown before him, seeing something that was more recent; his past with Amy. A tear went down his cheek at all the memories that were made with the spunky pink hedgehog until he heard her screams echoing the room.
'SHADOW WAKE UP! PLEASE WAKE UP AND SAVE ME! SHADOW PLEASE!'
He looked around, trying to find Amy as he looked over at Maria, "Amy…?" he paused thinking to himself, now realizing something, "Actually…I now know what I must do…I guess I do have a quest… and my quest… is to be sure that Amy is happy, loved and safe."
A soft smile appeared on Maria's face as she floated over to him, placing her hand under his chin. Even though she was just a spirit, Shadow could still feel the warmth of her hand upon his skin as he looked over at her with a few more tears in his eyes. Maria sighed contently as she spoke softly, "You're doing the right thing."
"I'm sure going to miss you, Maria… you're my first love and that… I'll cherish for the rest of my existence." Shadow whispered, his voice crackling due to his tears.
"Don't worry Shadow… we'll meet again someday. But for now, I leave you with this." Maria spoke as she leaned close to him, pressing her lips against his as she gave him 'The Kiss of Life'.
The sound of Amy crying out for Shadow echoed throughout the premises, causing Mephiles to evilly laugh from within the beasts. He controlled the beast, making it try to look up Amy's dress and plotting the possible rape session. Amy's emerald hues narrowed furiously as she tried her best to kick the beast's slimy tentacle like hands away from her. She took one more glimpse at Shadow's boy, noticing not a single movement was made.
'Sh-Shadow…' she thought to herself as a single tear went down her cheek, her strength to fight off the beast vanished. Her heart sunk to her stomach then later shattered, feeling that she would no longer see the red hues again. Her body became limp which brought sick joy into Mephiles' darken heart.
Controlling the beast, Mephiles sent small sets of tentacles towards Amy, wrapping around her limbs and torso, holding her up in the air while forming a rather large tentacle that would penetrate into her untouched flower. The tentacle started to inch closer to her before a bright white flash sped through, blinding the beast and causing it to let go of Amy. Amy's motionless body started to fall to the ground, showing no emotion towards herself falling to her death, when she felt something caught her in mid-air. Her emerald hues lit up as she looked over, noticing the red hues that she long waited for. A soft smile appeared on her face as she whispered softly, "Sh-Shadow…"
Shadow; whom is his super form, glowing a bright gold while his eyes looked over at Amy. A soft smirk appeared on his face as he flew high up in the air, getting ready to take aim at the beast. While doing so, a set of tentacles tried to reach out towards Shadow and Amy but fail to even retrieve. Once high enough, Shadow hovered as he had to have a few minutes to talk to Amy, to tell him how he truly felt.
"Amy… I want to say that, for the longest time… I never thought I would find someone who would love me like Maria did. And it's true… I've found no one who did….but I've found someone who loves me more than anyone else on this world." He spoke as he leaned closely to her, his lips pressed against hers softly before pulling back, "Amy Rose… I love you and I don't wish to see us both suffer within Mephiles' grasp."
Tears formed in Amy's eyes as she softly mumbled under her breath, "I… love you too." She paused as she looked to her side, watching a ball of light forming into a golden Piko Piko Hammer, "It's time to end his reign of terror once and for all!"
He nodded once as he spoke with confidence, "I'll let you handle Perfect Chaos… while I go directly into its heart and finish Mephiles' myself. He's mostly after me anyway."
Amy grasped onto the Piko Piko Hammer and looked directly at the beast from below, observing the weak points. Her eyes narrowed, only to state something in a direct and commanding tone, "Let me go."
"What?" He questioned.
"Drop me. I'll be fine. I'm just going to be a distraction to Perfect Chaos." She stated looking over at him, "I'm being serious, I'll be fine."
He said softly as he looked away, "Very well… just stay alive."
He gradually let her go, letting her fall back down to Earth while getting himself ready to charge through Mephiles' chest. Amy fell as she was getting into her fighting stance, looking around until she found its main weak spot; it's head. Once the beast, Perfect Chaos, noticed Amy falling from the sky, it tried it's best to snatch her again; only to be fooled. Amy use this chance to spin dash along it's tentacle, heading her way to its head while hearing Shadow coming closer to impact.
Mephiles' started to panic, knowing that his plan and reign of terror was coming to an end. His red and green eyes twitched a bit, feeling the fear lingering through his veins watching this golden glow coming towards his direction. 'Th… This can't be! He was dead! DEAD I TELL YOU!' he thought to himself, shaking his head in a frantic way, 'This shouldn't be my fate! HE WAS SUPPOSE TO REMAIN DEAD!'
Mephiles' thoughts continued to race within his troubled mind as Shadow did a spin dash, making a direct hit into the center of Perfect Chaos's chest, striking into Mephiles. A bright light exploded from the collision, causing the Perfect Chaos to fall apart into nothing but blobs of water and lava mixed. The beast was defeated and gone and the only hint of evil that was left was the mangled body which laid deep within the small crater. Deep and heavily pants surpassed both Shadow and Mephiles' lips they both looked at each other with fierce hate. Mephiles grumbled under his breath as he stated out to him, "Do you honestly think you'll live a happier life now? Knowing that you can't fix your past?"
Shadow's eyes narrowed as he grasped him by the neck an looked closely into the villainous yet cowardice eyes of a broken soul, "Let me tell you something Mephiles… Past is history, Future is a mystery….and today is a gift… which is why we call it the present." He paused as he snapped his neck with his only hand, hearing the bones snapping sent chills of pure joy through his veins, "And that was my present to you… Freedom from the world of hate…"
Once Shadow let go of Mephiles' body, another bright light explosion happened before him, sending not only him flying, but Amy as well. Something about this explosion, made Shadow feel content and warm; something that just him smile from ear to ear.
'I'm…free…' Thought Shadow as he was still blinded by the light.
