CHAPTER 10


Sonic watched in horror, as the Black Comet began to crumble and hatch as if it were a giant egg. Something truly terrifying was about to come forth… The Black Comet blew apart like a super nova, filling the sky with blinding white light, causing Sonic to shield his eyes. When the light dimmed down and Sonic looked toward the sky, his jaw dropped in shock and terror as he saw the creature before him.
Its giant, red and black, reptilian body was reminiscent of the Black Arms, especially Black Doom and the Black Bull, but it had thick fur, like Shadow and even massive quills. Its shape was very reminiscent of an organic version of Metal Sonic’s monstrous “Metal Overlord” form, from its great scaly wings, to its multi-eyed, razor tooth jawed face to its great spindly arms. Sonic felt the last of his anger consume his being and fully transformed into his “Dark” form. He glared angrily at the beast before him. “So… You’ve show your true colors… I’ve been calling you a monster for a while, but now you really are one!” Dark Sonic floated up into the air, feeling the negative emotions surging through him. “All this negative energy and rage in my body… I’ve squeezed it all into a bitter little ball, but now I have to release it in the right way…” He pointed a finger at Shadow’s monstrous face. “And the right way would be to kick your ugly ass to hell, Devil Shadow!”
Devil Shadow eyed its prey hungrily, and roared a primal scream before flying towards its target.
Dark Sonic darted off to the side and started floating around Devil Shadow, angrily firing “Chaos Spears” at the beast’s eyes.
Devil Shadow growled in annoyance and swatted at the “insect” before it, trying to smack him away. It had Dark Sonic directly in its sights, and started to fire its needle sharp spines at him in a steady stream.
Dark Sonic dodged and weaved through the “rocket spines” being fired at him. “Agh! This is just like when I fought against Metal Overlord! Only difference is, I don’t have Tails and Knuckles with me, this time…” He ducked another spine coming his way, before firing a Chaos Spear at another, only to see Devil Shadow charging right at him with his claws out. Dark Sonic moved all around erratically to avoid the repetitive, equally erratic slashes from Devil Shadow, trying not to get grazed by those huge claws. He reared back, and shot a Chaos Spear right at the beast’s jaw.
Devil Shadow squealed in pain as the soft, moist fleshiness of its mouth was fired upon. It smacked its lips as it tasted blood, which dripped from its now bleeding gums. Without warning, its massive tail shot at Dark Sonic like a whip, whipping him across the side, sending him sailing through the air.
Dark Sonic managed to regain his balance and launched a pursuit attack at Devil Shadow’s face, smacking it right across the cheek and jaw before unleashing a 4 kick air combo to the beast’s face, sending it flying backwards. “Take that, you reptilian son of a bitch!” Dark Sonic yelled.
Devil Shadow halted in mid-air and made and seemed to hug itself with both arms with its fists clenched. It gave its wings one mighty flap and charged towards Dark Sonic like a mad bull.
Dark Sonic rolled to the side, letting the Black Arms beast dash right past him. He fired a Chaos Spear right at the monster’s backside as he bolted past. “Hey! What do you think you are; a runaway truck or something? Oh SHIT!” Dark Sonic was bombarded with a shower of quill “missiles” that came at him like a swarm of angry bees, and stung like them too. “Get…offa me!” Dark Sonic generated an energy field around him, deflecting the remaining spines while he rocketed towards Dark Shadow’s tail, grabbing it in mid air. “Gotcha, Shadow!” His enhanced strength made it possible for him to attain a good grip, and to keep Devil Shadow from getting away. “Time to go for a spin, Faker!” Dark Sonic started spinning Devil Shadow around like a ball and chain mace. Faster and faster he spun, until they were just a circular blur of black and blue. Then Sonic let go, throwing Devil Shadow into the remains of a ruined building sending stone, concrete, and gravel all over the place.
Devil Shadow roared in anger as it charged at Dark Sonic, snapping its jaws at the small hedgehog.
Dark Sonic tried to fly as far away as possible to avoided getting chomped on by the giant creature, but found it difficult as the snapping seemed to closely resemble Shadow’s former Sonic-type speed. Dark Sonic was trying his best to avoid becoming Devil Shadow’s lunch, but…
CHOMP!
Devil Shadow snapped up Dark Sonic in its massive jaws as hard as it could, but its prey was not content on becoming anyone’s supper as it soon discovered.
Dark Sonic pushed up with all his strength against Devil Shadow’s upper jaw, and slowly started to force the monster’s mouth open, despite meeting resistance from the opposing beast’s jaws. “URGH! You think you could just eat me for breakfast? I might give you indigestion! Sonic Wind!” Dark Sonic span around, generating a high blast of wind energy throughout Devil Shadow’s mouth, and caused the creature to yelp and spit him up. “Yuck! Didn’t you ever brush your teeth when you were still in hedgehog form?” He asked sarcastically. ‘Ugh, this is no good. He’s not taking any damage whatsoever!’ Dark Sonic thought with frustration. ‘Why the hell did I decide to fight this guy alone…? I didn’t expect him to undergo this transformation…’ Dark Sonic felt himself beginning to lose hope.
Meanwhile, back outside Tails’ workshop…
Tails looked up at the skies anxiously. “They could be anywhere right now.” He sighed. Sonic had been gone WAY too long and he was beginning to worry. He and the girls had tried to make a journey into Westopolis to at least give Sonic some needed assistance, but by the time they got there, the roads to Westopolis seemed to be barricaded by Black Arms attack ships which had their shields turned on to full blast. Not wanting to initiate any unnecessary combat or being able to find any route around, they were left with no choice but to flee. All Tails could do now was sit, wait and prey for his mentor and friend. “Sonic… Wherever you are… Please be ok, and come back to us.” He suddenly felt a small body embrace him from behind, and a pair of lips bruise his cheek with a kiss. “Cream…”
Cream sat down next to Tails and laid her head against his shoulder with worry. “Tails… I’m worried about Mr. Sonic. Is he going to come through this alright?”
Tails looked sadly at Cream for a moment before turning back to the sky. “To be honest Cream… I don’t know… I wish I knew the answer but I don’t. Right now, all we can do is pray. We can only pray that Sonic will come through for all of us.” He kissed Cream back on her cheek. But whatever happens, Cream, I’ll be there for you and protect you.” He embraced her gently.
When Devil Shadow started to regain air time, it roared in anger, as it swooped upwards into the sky, until it was hovering right above Dark Sonic. It started to flap it wings wildly and quickly, so fast that started to generate gale force winds, threatening to ground Dark Sonic, or cause him to loose his balance in the air.
Dark Sonic felt himself being tossed around in the high winds, like a windswept kite, and found it difficult to maintain a steady course. “Ugh… These winds… I can’t…maintain…good flight…” He grunted as he tried to keep himself from plummeting.
Devil Shadow had its opponent in its sights now. Opening up its massive jaws, it started breathing out a dangerous light beam.
With the wind blowing him back and forth, Dark Sonic was barely able to dodge the ray that came hurtling towards him. But it didn’t end there, as another ray came streaking across the sky towards him. He ducked down grudgingly, due to the gale force, and narrowly missed the ray, which managed to singe the ends of his quills a bit. Sadly, the third mouth beam shot out without warning and hit Dark Sonic dead on. If not for his invincibility aura he would have been fried like a hamburger, so he was merely sent twirling backwards from the battle, propelled by both the impact of the beam and the gale force wind.
Devil Shadow wasn’t about to let its prey go so easily, however, and it flew straight after Dark Sonic. Its tail started to rear up, and it shook violently as the beast flew closer. When it was close enough, Devil Shadow fired out his tail like a grappling hook and lashed around Dark Sonic in a tight, crushing grip.
Dark Sonic squirmed and writhed in the squeezing deathtrap of Devil Shadow’s tails. This was more than he could handle, even with his “Dark Form.” ‘Can’t…move…damn, his tail’s stronger than a steel chain.’ Dark Sonic thought. ‘How am I going to…?’ “AAAAAAAAAAAAH!” Dark Sonic suddenly felt his very power being drained from his body. “What the hell’s Shadow doing to me?”
Devil Shadow eyed Dark Sonic intently like a hawk watching a small mouse. Its play was successful and now all it had to do was use its chaos power to siphon out Dark Sonic’s power and make him weak and edible…then he would suffer.
Dark Sonic felt all the negative energy within him being sucked out at an alarming rate and he slowly began to lose his dark blue aura, his eyes regained their emerald green irises and his blackened fur slowly began to turn cobalt blue once more a she reverted back to regular old Sonic. With all the negativity and rage sucked from his body, Sonic could feel himself thinking more clearly and level headed in addition to feeling more intense pain from Devil Shadow’s death grip.
‘What was I thinking?’ Sonic thought somberly. ‘I let all of my hatred; anger and anxiety take me over. I should’ve tried to stay clam and cool… I should’ve reached out to my friends and let them help me… Damn it, what was I thinking? What made me think I could handle Shadow, when he had the Master Emerald and all 7 Chaos Emeralds at his disposal? Now I’m paying the price… Everyone gonna pay the price…all because I made such a STUPID mistake…’ Sonic the Hedgehog opened one eye to see the Black Arms beast, that was once his rival, Shadow the Hedgehog, as it lifted its tail to its demonic face, staring at Sonic almost with a taunting look as if to say, “Do you see now, Faker? Do you see how weak and pathetic you are? I’m STILL the Ultimate Life Form…and you? You’re lunch!”
Sonic shut his eyes as he felt the pain intensify. ‘No! This can’t be the end! I can’t let Shadow beat me! Guys… If you can hear me…please give me your strength…I need your help more than ever!’
Tails suddenly froze. “S-Sonic?”
Cream looked up at the fox boy. “Tails? What’s wrong?”
“I…I thought I just heard Sonic!” Tails exclaimed.
‘GUYS!’
Now, both Tails and Cream heard Sonic’s voice in their minds.
Back in Station Square, inside of Amy’s house…
Amy sat at the edge of her bed, hugging her Sonic plushy tightly, rocking back and forth. She couldn’t stop worrying about Sonic, and couldn’t stop feeling sorry for herself about how she couldn’t do a thing to help him. ‘Sonic…’ She thought. ‘Why couldn’t I tell you how I felt sooner…? Why’d you have to leave just like that? Now you’re so far away from me…no, not just me. You’re far away from all of us. Why didn’t you tell us sooner? Why did you have to keep all your emotions bottled up and your problems to yourself?’ Amy looked out through her bedroom window, and a small tear trickled down her cheek. “Sonic… I miss you…”
‘GUYS!’
Amy suddenly heard her hero’s voice through her mind. “S-Sonic?” She looked all around. “Where are you?”
‘Tails…Cream…Amy! Are you there?’
She heard Sonic’s voice again in her mind.
‘Tails? Cream? Amy? I need help! I’m in terrible trouble and I need your help! Shadow’s used all the powers of the Chaos Emeralds and the Master Emerald on himself, and even absorbed all of his own soldiers. He’s now become a giant flying monster and he’s about to kill me. I’ve been rid of all of my negative energy and rage, but I’m powerless now! I need all of you to believe in me, and give me your power.’
In Central City Hospital, Knuckles and Rouge could also hear Sonic’s voice in their minds.
‘Link your minds with mine, focus on all the time we’ve had together. The positive Energies of the Chaos Emeralds just might react to the positive emotion and energies…and if they do, then I can break out of Shadow’s clutches and save this planet. What do you say? Will you help me out?’
Knuckles closed his eyes and focused. ‘Sonic…’ He started to glow.
Rouge followed her boyfriend’s lead and looked inside of her heart. ‘Sonic…’ She too began to glow.
Tails and Cream heeded the words of their friend and started to think about him. ‘Sonic…’ Both children began to glow.
Amy shut her eyes tightly and her heart brought forth all of her memories of Sonic, and the time they had together. She too started to glow brightly. ‘Sonic…please come back to us…you can win this fight…’
Sonic the Hedgehog suddenly felt a warm feeling deep within his heart. That warm feeling started to spread. He could feel it all through his body and mind now and he began to glow with a light blue aura around him.
Before Devil Shadow could react, 7 multicolored lights began to shine within its body and it seemed to cause it a great deal of pain, as it clutched its chest and grunted in agony. The shining only intensified and the pain only grew before Devil shadow roared in pain, and the 7 Chaos Emeralds shot right out of its mouth.
The 7 Chaos Emerald began to circle around Sonic the Hedgehog and shone in response to the positive energy he resonated. ‘7 Chaos Emerald…please give me your power…give me the power to vanquish this evil!’ Sonic could feel the energies of the 7 Chaos Emeralds fill him with their power, and could feel the hearts and minds of his friends. They may not have been there physically, but they were with him in spirit. His eyes shot open and in he was engulfed by brilliant white light. When the light dimmed down…the glittering golden yellow form of Super Sonic floated there, ready for action. “I can feel it…” He held a hand to his heart. “I can fell my friends…they’re with me…my hope has gotten stronger…” He stared directly at Devil Shadow. “Now YOU will see, Shadow… My hope and my faith in my friends are stronger than all your ‘power.’” Super Sonic grabbed a hold of Devil Shadow’s tail with both hands gripping tightly and he freed himself, pulling the tail apart.
Devil Shadow screeched in pain and agony as it felt the very end of its tail ripped off. It flailed its tail about, the end oozing with black blood splattering the life giving liquid everywhere.
“Sonic Wind!” Super Sonic threw a swirling tornado of energy at Devil Shadow blasting him right in the chest before launching a fully charged “Chaos Spear” directly at the beast’s eyes, blinding him with the intense energy. “Alright Shadow… It’s time to end this… I wish there was another way…but you brought this on yourself…” Super Sonic drew upon all of his energy. “Chaos Control!” Super Sonic shot towards Devil Shadow in a flash of light, and shot straight down the monster’s throat, blasted all the way through its entire body destroying muscle tissue, rupturing organs, and just killing Devil Shadow from the inside, before bursting out of the beasts’ chest in a shower of black blood, the Master Emerald in his hands.
Devil Shadow screamed, blood erupting from its chest and mouth a sit slowly began to die. But the worst for it was yet to come.
“Chaos Control!” Super Sonic grabbed Devil Shadow by what was left of its tail and shot through the sky with Chaos Control…though the stratosphere, and into the dark depths of space…until he reached just outside of the Sun’s orbit. Sonic looked upon the giant blazing star, which was the very center of the universe.
“This ends now…” He started to spin Devil Shadow around once more, faster and faster in a bright golden blurry circle. He let go, throwing Shadow directly into the sun, but not before giving one last pursuit and delivering a swift Super Sonic Eagle axe kick directly at Devil Shadow’s neck, ripping the beasts head off of it’s body and spraying the last of it’s black blood throughout space. Super Sonic then watched as the remains of the beast that was once Shadow the Hedgehog plummeted into the sun’s atmosphere, where they burned to nothing. Super Sonic sighed out loud, feeling as though a great burden had been lifted off of him. “Shadow…rest in peace…” He said quietly before flying back to Earth.
Tails and Cream were outside watching the stars, when they suddenly saw the image of a golden figure shoot across the window. They knew of only one person that it could be.
“Tails! Did you see that?” Cream said excitedly.
“I sure did!” Tails was ecstatic. “Sonic did it! He came back! He won!”
Knuckles lay in his hospital bed that night, looking out the night sky, when hey too saw Super Sonic shoot across the sky like a shooting star. “Rouge! It’s Sonic! Well…It’s Super Sonic, but it’s Sonic nonetheless!”
“What?” Rouge poked her head outside of the window just in time to see Super Sonic’s form disappearing over the horizon. She smiled to herself. “Well, I’ll be…he did it…he saved everyone…”
Super Sonic shot across the night sky, feeling the cool night air blow against his face. “I did it… I actually beat him… I avenged everyone who died by his hands…and saved everyone else before he could get to them… Now I just have one more thing to take care of…Amy.” He stopped his flight just above Station Square, right near Amy’s house, and he began to float down towards her bedroom window. He peered inside and saw Amy lying on her bed, sleeping and holding her plushy of Sonic close to her chest. He could see tears streaks on her cheeks, showing that she must’ve cried herself to sleep. “Amy… I’m sorry about everything that’s happened… I want to make it up to you…” He said, before gently tapping on the window.
Amy’s eyes shot open, as she heard a faint tapping sound. Sitting up from the bed, she turned to her window and gasped. Right outside, was the shining, golden furred, smiling form of Super Sonic. She flew from her bed and tore the window open. “Sonic? Is that you?”
Super Sonic floated into Amy’s room and landed right in front of her, before powering down back to normal. Sonic smiled at his number one fan. “Yes Amy it’s me. I’m back and blue.” He winked at her giving her a thumbs up.
“Sonic…” Amy felt tears well up in her eyes. “Oh Sonic!” She sobbed before throwing her arms around Sonic and hugging him of dear life, crying into his chest. “SOB…You stupid jerk!” She bawled. “Look how much you made everyone worry! sniffle”
Sonic returned Amy’s hug, stroking her back gently. “I know… I know…” He told her gently. “I’m sorry… I’m sorry I didn’t tell you or the others. I should’ve opened up to you about my emotions, but I didn’t…” He hugged her tightly. “It’s ok now…” He soothed. “I’m here for you… I won’t ever leave you again.”
Amy’s cries began to subside to small sniffles. “Sonic…”
“Yes Amy?”
“Kiss me…”
Sonic’s eyes widened and he started to blush. “Wh-what?”
Amy looked up at him with innocent eyes and rosy cheeks. “Please kiss me… I want to know that you’re really here…that it’s not some dream…please…”
Sonic felt that warm feeling return, but only this time it wasn’t because of the emeralds…but it was of a form of positive energy…love. ‘Why do I feel so warm and funny? Do I…? Do I love Amy Rose?’ “A-Alright then… Close your eyes Amy…” When Amy had closed her eyes, Sonic began to lean towards her, drawing closer and closer to her face, before pressing his own lips against hers in a kiss.
Amy felt her heart soar as she felt Sonic lips touch her own. ‘He’s kissing me! He’s actually kissing me!’ She thought with bliss and happiness. ‘Sonic… You really do care… Oh god… I love you…I love you so much!’
Sonic meanwhile was having equally elated thoughts. ‘Wow… This feels so good… Who am I kidding? I DO love Amy Rose… I was too blind to notice it before… She’s really a sweet innocent girl who just needs someone to care about her…’
When the two hedgehogs parted, both stared into each other’s eyes for what seemed like an eternity.
“Sonic…” Amy Rose said with a cute smile on her lovely features. “I love you…”
Sonic smiled as he drew Amy close to him. “I love you too, Amy Rose…” He drew her in for one more, sweet kiss.
