Chapter Fifteen: The Super Battle

Exetior looked on, as he saw Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Shadow standing in front of him, in their super forms. Exetior was just laughing evilly.

"So you four think you've got stronger, just because you are in your super forms? Pitiful!" Exetior told them, with an evil grin.

"Well, you better start saying your prayers!" Knuckles warned.

"There is no way in hell you can win now!" Shadow added.

"Especially with the four of us, and one of you!" Tails told Exetior.

"So give up now, or prepare for the fight of your life!" Sonic finished. Exetior just laughs evilly again.

"You four may have super forms from Chaos energy, but there's something I've forgotten to mention to you before." Exetior grins evilly. This even worried the girls, who were watching as they sat near the Master Emerald.

"Really? And what's that?" Sonic asked in a serious tone.

"Well, you can only transform with either the Master Emerald's energy, or the Chaos Emerald's energy. But if it were me, I don't need Emeralds, when I have black magic energy!" Exetior explains.

"Yeah, so what? It has limits just like our super form! Big deal!" Knuckles retorted.

"Oh, that's where you are wrong, Knuckles. The Chaos energy have limits, but because I am dead, and I was made by black magic, mine will be limitless, meaning my form HAS NO LIMITS! Therefore, YOU CAN'T WIN AGAINST ME!" Exetior snarled.

"Wait, WHAT?!" Sonic said in shock.

Exetior then started to growl angrily, and an orange red aura began to form around him. The guys were scared stiff at this point. Exetior's quills began to point upwards, his claws became sharper, his teeth became sharper, and his fur began to glow a very dark but bright purple blue colour. His eyes were still the same, just as evil as ever. Exetior stood there with an evil grin.

"Well, what do you think? Not a bad little light show, was it?" Exetior mocked, as he grinned evilly.

"Holy shit! This isn't good!" Knuckles stated.

"There's no way!" Shadow added.

"We have no chance now!" Tails states. But Sonic shook his head.

"No! We're not backing out of this now! We will end this once and for all! I don't care what limits you have, because either way, THIS ENDS NOW!" Sonic yells, as he and the rest of the gang charged towards Exetior.

"Hmph! Pitiful!" Exetior stated, with an evil grin.

After that, the ultimate battle finally begins. The girls look onwards to see the fight. What they see are bright streaks moving around at high speed, what it actually is that's happening is that Sonic, Tails, Knuckles and Shadow all exchange and take turns to try and lay a hit on Exetior. Exetior even sends in some strikes of his own.

"Oh God! I do hope they'll be OK!" Cream stated worriedly.

"I hope so too, Cream!" Tikal admitted.

"Don't worry! They're strong! They can deal with that creep no problem!" Rouge exclaimed in confidence.

"Hopefully they will! Me, and Sonic haven't even got married yet!" Amy pleaded.

The battle continues, and even after every blow they hit each other with, no scratches or bruises were made. The super form immediately healed them, before they could ever be shown.

"It's no use! This isn't working!" Knuckles stated.

"We have to keep trying!" Tails replied.

"This monster has to have some kind of weakness!" Shadow thought.

"But what?!" Sonic asked.

"FOOLS! I have no weakness, and I have no limits! You are wasting your time with this! You should have just taken the easy way out, and surrendered, but now I get the pleasure of watching you all die nice and slow!" Exetior stated, as he glared evilly at the guys.

"NEVER!" Sonic yells, as he threw in a punch on Exetior's jaw.

Tails used his twin tails to whip Exetior downwards, then Knuckles hits him with an uppercut sending him straight back up, and Shadow finishes with a Chaos Spear. Exetior was down on the ground, but he certainly wasn't out. He slowly stands back up.

"Well played, fools! But note to self!" Exetior told them.

"Note to self, what, creep?!" Shadow asked sternly.

"Your power is almost running out. And mine's limitless. So better surrender now!" Exetior replies, as he grins evilly. Tails' super form's colours were fading.

"What?! No, come on! Not now!" Tails snarled. Knuckles also noticed his was running out too.

"You've got to be joking!" Knuckles complained.

"Damn it! Not here!" Shadow snapped.

"This can't end like this!" Sonic yells in panic. The girls even noticed this.

"Oh, no!" Cream screamed.

"Their power is running out!" Tikal stated with fear.

"No, it cannot be true! Not now!" Rouge added.

"This is it, girls! It's over! Nothing we can do now! We're doomed!" Amy finished.

Back with the guys, their super form was fading away. After a few minutes, it was all completely gone. This is the end for the gang. This has now become a battle they cannot win.

"Pitiful! I knew it all along! You cannot stop me!" Exetior laughs.

After he said that, he charges towards Knuckles and punches him so hard on the head, it knocks him unconscious.

"KNUCKLES" Tails yells.

After that, Exetior then charges towards Tails, and knocks him unconscious as well, by kneeing him in the stomach.

"TAILS!" Shadow yells.

Then Exetior charges towards Shadow, and punches him through the chest. His claws penetrate him, and Shadow starts bleeding a lot from the open wound caused by Exetior.

"SHADOW!" Rouge shrieks, as she ran towards Shadow.

"Rouge, wait!" Amy screams.

Rouge ran towards Shadow and cradles him in her arms. Cream also did the same thing for Tails, and Tikal does the same thing for Knuckles.

"Shadow, please! Don't die on me!" Rouge pleaded, with tears flowing in her eyes. Shadow was not awake, and his heartbeat was getting slower. He was dying very slowly.

"Oh my God, SHADOW! EXE, STOP THIS!" Sonic yells in a frustrated tone.

"Or what, Sonic? You'll destroy me? Yeah, right! You know damn well you can't kill me, and you cannot defeat me! So it's now time to meet your MAKER!" Exetior snarled.

Exetior then charges towards Sonic, and was about to punch Sonic through his chest too, but Sonic catches Exetior's hand.

"WHAT?!" Exetior said surprised.

When he looked down at Sonic, Sonic now has the angriest look on his face that anyone has ever seen. It caught Exetior off guard when he saw a black aura forming around Sonic's body.

"Exetior! You think you're the only one who has an evil energy laying within you?!" Sonic asked in frustration.

"Oh, no! Not this!" Amy pleaded.

"I am, evil! You've seen it!" Exetior replied.

"Well guess what, creep?! SO DO I!" Sonic retorted.

After that, Sonic's fur turns into a blueish black colour, his quills pointed upwards again, and his entire eyes turned into a bright pearly white colour. Exetior may have just pushed Sonic a little too far. Sonic has now reached his breaking point, and has become Super Dark Sonic.
