Chapter 5: The darkest of shadows and the brightest of lights

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Shadow and Death-Scythe raced across the land attacking where ever opportunity presented it's self. One would attack but the other would doge or uses the attack to their advantage. Shadow, having no other option, pulled out the green chaos emerald.

Chaos Spear

The sound of metal hitting metal echoed across the island. Death-Scythe had materialized two blades from underneath his wrists. "Been waiting for you to try that," He said. "Do it again, I dare ya."

Shadow merely scowled at his remark. Death-Scythe charged, repeatedly slashing at the other hedgehog. Shadow was able to doge most but the last swipe left a long gash down the right side of his face, blood trickled lightly from it.

Shadow's eyes widened slightly, but he quickly controlled himself. He chuckled softly. "You never cease to amaze me, but play time is over!"

Chaos Spear

As Death-Scythe fended off the multitude of energy spikes Shadow manage to grasp a single spear. When Death-Scythe was able to locate Shadow he stood ready for an attack. Both combatants paused, Death-Scythe charged again, slashing fiercely at Shadow who skillfully blocked them all. A downward slash was amid at the black and white hedgehog, but he jumped back to avoid it.

"Seams we're evenly matched." Death-Scythe spoke.

"Not for long." The clash of metal on metal echoed through the land.

*~*

...Just the same, you and I...

*~*

Tikal watched helplessly as the wars raged in front of her, the unconscious Tails lay motionless before her. At first glance the battles seem to be locked in a stale mate, but on closer inspection Kat's group had the upper hand. They knew everything the Sonic Team could throw at them, improvisation or not, wile the others knew next to nothing.

Devin and Knuckles' fight made its way up the Master Emerald shrine steps. Knuckles through a punch at Devin who move at the last seconded and behind him was the master emerald itself. Spiked fists shattered the gigantic emerald scattering the peaces far and wide. Looking over to Tikal knuckles saw her fade then disappear as the whole island shock violently.

*~*

... I'm down to one last breath...

*~*

Sonic was no doubt losing to Kat. He had more filing lessons with her than he wished, all ending in painful crashes. He had barley gotten to his feet when the island shook violently knocking him over once again. But that means…

"Well, looks like we're going to have to cut this short." Kat said not looking at sonic then disappeared.

Sonic just sat there for a moment looking confused. Then jumped up and ran off in the general direction of the Master Emerald.

*~*

Virus and Bacura hadn't even notice the earthquake. Bacura had pined Virus to the ground. The cat was smiling. "There's a reason for my name, you know." Bacura just glared at him then plunged his clawed paw in to the others chest, but it went strait thorough to the ground. Emerald eyes saw the cat being eaten away at and materialize in the air above him. "Up here..."

[Every one retreat, that's an order]

The fighting stopped abruptly. "Well, time to take our leave." Virus resultantly stated then disappeared just as sonic came running in.

Looking around he said. "Has any one seen Shadow?" No answer.

*~*

...I believe in my future...

*~*

The war between the two projects raged on. Nether side was giving in to the other for. Numerous cut covered the hedgehogs' tired bodies.

[Death-Scythe, retreat immediately, that's an order.] The massage echoed in the black and white hedgehog's mind, but he wasn't about to leave this unfinished. Shadow suddenly stood up straight, the chaos spear in his hand faded away.

"We'll have to finish this another time." Was all he said before he used Chaos Controlled.

A bit dazed Death-Scythe looked up at the now clear night sky. "Yeah...latter..."

*~*

...let's go back to that...

*~*

Shadow arrived just as Sonic placed Tails in the passenger seat of the Tornado. "Glad you made it," said the blue one. "I was wondering how I was gonna get every one off the island."

Another large tremor signaled that the island had hit water. "Where'd Knux run off to?" Tigris inquired.

"Went off to find the peaces of the Master Emerald. Shade, give me a hand." Sonic said pulling out his amber colored emerald. Shadow wordlessly held tight to his, as he placed a hand on the plane.

Chaos Control

When the intense light had faded the plane and ever one else was gone. The full moon reflected off a calm ocean as Angel Island slowly sunk in to the sea.

*~*

The group reappeared in front of Tails' work shop. Sonic carefully pulled the fox from his precious plane and went in side. The others followed at a much slower pace.

"So who where that?" Bacura asked absently.

"Let's see..." Tigris said thinking. "There was Devin Dragon (knux was fighting him) and Shiloh... Shiloh... umm, oh, I forget her last name!"

"Death-Scythe..." Shadow added in.

"And..." Bacura started.

"Virus." All three said a once.

Bacura paused. "...Death-Scythe? I think I've heard that name some where."

"How could you?" Shadow asked. "he was created by GUN."

"Oh, well, maybe it was my imagination then." Bacura said softly.

"What happened to Sonic?" Tigris asked changing the subject. "He's too beat up to have done nothing, and I doubt he beat himself up." No one knew.

By this time they hand entered the house, Sonic was sitting on the couch. Shadow took to the arm chair across from him and the two tigers laid on the floor. Not a word was said for what seemed like hours.

"Kat Galileo." Sonic said suddenly, "She's the ring leader. Who where the others?"

"Shiloh (she was the dog), Devin Dragon."

"The project was Death-Scythe."

"Hedgehog?" sonic asked.

"Ya."

"And Virus was the white cat."

Sonic stood up. "let's talk about this in the morning. Night guys."

Tigris let out a threatening growl.

"Umm, and girl." Sonic said hastily.

"Good Night Sonic." Tigris said smiling. Sonic smiled back realizing that her only goal in that was to embarrass him then retreated to him room.

Without a word Shadow got up and headed towards the guest bedroom, Tigris was at his heels. Bacura simply hoped on to the couches laid down and waited for sleep.

Shadow crawled under the covers as Tigris laid down at the end of the bed.

"I'm glad you two decided to show up." Shadow whispered. Tigris mumbled something along the lines of 'me two' and the two fell to the comfort of sleep.

DS: 'Scythe here, Naya didn't want to show even though she had no threats, go figure… any ways I typed all from where Kats message came in till here, and now I realize how much I hate my name. I also realize how much I sound like that guy who sung the songs in the Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron movie. Bryan Adams I think. Well better be off.
