Shadow vs. Amy Rose
cutegirlmayra
Based off the idea that someone said to me Amy could take on Shadow and I responded with- "But she couldn't win! I mean, let's be reasonable! Ultimate Lifeform! Even Sonic has issues and Knuckles put up a struggle in Sonic X! I just can't see her winning though…"
Prompt:
"Finally,…" Shadow held up the gleaming Chaos Emerald towards the moon. "The last Chaos Emerald…"
"Hey!"
His eyes dashed to the very rim of his vision, looking behind him as a figure staggered to her feet, and panted while summoning her hammer.
"That Emerald is for Sonic!" Amy took a stance, looking powerful in her convictions.
He turned with a little annoyance, lowering the Chaos Emerald as he did so. "You don't want to do this, Amy…" he warned.
"I'm more powerful than you can possibly imagine."
"Oh yeah? Well,… I'm not afraid of you!" she then lowered her hammer out in front of her, readying for attack. "I fought too long and hard to get that Emerald to just let you run off with it like a thief in the night!"
He was amused by her spunk, but that quick smile and 'hmph' quickly faded.
"You're as stubborn and persistent as him." He put the Emerald away in his back quills, "This is your last chance, Amy… I don't want to hurt you."
"Good! Cause I don't want to have to hurt you! Just hand it over and nobody gets hurt!" Amy charged as Shadow shook his head.
"Why must you be so rash… It's foolish to resist. Besides,… you won't last long against me." He tightened his hands into bundled fists, his limiters softly rang out as they glowed, showing how much power was being held back in them.
"Ahhh!" she ran full force, before spinning to launch her hammer at him.
He teleported quickly and wound up behind her, spin-kicking her as she went flying to the side.
"Hmph." He landed and looked down, closing his eyes as he walked on. "Don't test my patience. Simply walk away and no further harm will-"
He was immediately struck on the back of his head with a hammer.
He lurched forward, his eyes tingling in the amount of rage he now felt at that attack landing.
He had let his guard down… underestimating her.
"You have a death wish or something..?" he turned around, glaring at her, but trying to remain calm.
After all… he wasn't entirely noble… but he was honorable.
He didn't want to hurt a little girl…
No matter how stubborn she may be…
"I'm not… done yet." She summoned another hammer to her hand, pushing up off the ground and getting back into her stance.
"New plan." She stated, raising her hammer to him. "You come to me."
He found that awfully interesting.
He chuckled under his breath, "You're not serious." He turned around, folding his arms. "I don't have time for games."
"I'm fighting for Sonic! Love can't be trumped by ultimate breath!" she countered.
He frowned, "Love is pointless… everything with a means to an end is." He unfolded his arms, realizing she was just being gutsy, and not at all wise…
"You're going to get hurt this time, Amy… prepare yourself." He positioned himself to strike, and she immediately gritted her teeth together.
"As long as I'm fighting for Sonic… I'll always have enough strength! That's what makes me ultimate!" she waited as he launched himself at her, tired of her foolish rantings, before throwing out a punch and kick.
Her hammer slammed into him, causing an eye to twitch at how well-marked the blows took place. She had dodged with a counter, clever…. But still not strong enough.
He came at her full-force, testing her at first to lead her to exhaustion, it would be easier to knock her out this way…
He couldn't have her trailing him…
She fought back, but Shadow could reflex and dodge with his own counters, though he had to admit, the strain of blocking her attacks were taking some toll on his body as well.
His limiters were lighting the night like a fire, as they purposefully restrained him from his full-abilities towards her.
He jumped soon and let out a Chaos spear, curious as to how she would counter this.
She jumped back and spun her hammer in the air, having the spears collide but only push her back.
When she landed, he darted up and teleported to psych her out.
"What?!" Amy gasped as his fist then slammed into her stomach.
She felt the air ripple out of her throat before everything when hazy.
Her vision left and she fainted, her head falling as he caught it before any serious damage could befall her neck.
He lowered her down and set her against a tree.
He knelt by her side a second, just making sure she was steady and put a hand up to her mouth.
Breath… she would be alright.
He got up and twisted his limiters, feeling some heat where they were under his skin…
His eyes never left her… he figured it would have taken seconds to knock her out before, but she actually did put up a fight.
He then loomed over her and smiled a second, "The only thing you could call 'ultimate' about yourself, is your faith in your ultimate flaws." His smile left him then.
"However…" he walked away, a solemn expression on his face, "I suppose you're not as bad as that blue hedgehog's ego…"
