BOOK I OF THE CHAOTIX TRILOGY
OF CHAOS BORN
CHAPTER VI
WAR
“I’ve seen a lot of things in my life, but by the gods, I wish this was not one of them!” – Knuckles after accidentally walking in on Big while taking a bath
Sonic ran into the area where Amy was being contained only to find it was in ruin. “Amy!” he cried. “Where are you, sis?” In the destruction, there was not even the slightest sign of her. He ran to a different area and continued his search when a bullet just barely grazed his shoulder. He turned and say Shadow standing there, pistol in hand. “Well, well. If it isn’t Sonic. Tell me, did you really think that I would let you seal away Chaos?” Sonic looked at him and yelled, “Shadow! Have you completely lost it? In case you haven’t noticed, It was that Freak that did all this damage!”
The male laughed. “I know. Beautiful, isn’t it? Such magnificent destruction. Art. Art in it’s truest form! And I will not let the sculptor of this beauty be deterred.” Sonic noticed something different about him, something unhuman. As if reading the teen’s mind, the double said, “I can tell by the look on your face that your face that you put two and two together. I have become complete. I am no longer Shadow. I have ascended to the ranks of the Gods themselves.”
Sonic groaned. “Geeze, “ he whined. “Give one guy a second of contact with a energy based cancer and he gets all high and mighty. Ground control to Shadow. It’s time to come back to reality.” Shadow smiled and said, “You’re wrong, Sonic. It’s actually time…” His eyes suddenly turned a glowing red and he vanished. Before Sonic could react, he went flying clean down the street three blocks before crashing into a already crumbling building. He groaned as he pulled himself out of the debris, muttering, “Wow. Whatever he got dosed with, it really packs a punch.”
Shadow’s voice came from above him, saying, “That barely touches the surface, fleshling.” he then grabbed the teen and threw him into the wall. The velocity, however, was too great for the wall, or any other in the building for that matter, to stop his momentum. He came to stop after hitting another wall. “Sonic, with great effort, lifted himself to his feet and yelled, “Would you please stop doing that!” Shadow said from behind him, “Oh, don’t worry, meat sack. I plan to do a lot worse.” He wound back, knife in hand to finish the job the possessed male was knocked into the air where he crashed into a burning tower. Knuckles yelled, “Sonic! Quit playing around and do something about Chaos!” Sonic nodded and ran off.
Knuckles looked at the tower and said, “Looks like your luck ran out, Shadow. I know how to fight a puppet.” He ran to the structure and started to run up the wall. After a few steps, he jumped up and scaled it with his hands and feet until he reached the top. Shadow, however, was nowhere to be found. At that moment, he leaped to the side as Shadow drove his fist through where he just a moment ago stood. “Oh?” the puppet remarked. “Someone who can see me approach his blind spot? This should be amusing.” Knuckles smirked. “Funny. I was just about to say the same thing.”
With that, the guardian delivered a powerful blow to the male’s face with absolutely no effect other than a sharp pain in his hand from the impact. He attempted to shake it off as he mused, “Right. I forgot about that part.” Shadow grabbed the red haired male by the throat and carried him over to the edge of a fifty story drop. “I would say this was fun,” he sneered, “But I’d be lying.” with that, he released his grip and Knuckles began his descent to the ground below. Shadow turned around and said, “Now where is that pathetic lookalike?” His search was interrupted as he received a devastating blow to the head.
Shadow stood up and turned to see Knuckles hovering over the ground. “Hey,” he yelled. “I can fly too, dumb ass!” he swung again and Shadow was knocked off the tower. “Hey! I’m not finished with you yet!” With that, he went in pursuit. At the source of the chaos that was it’s namesake, the entity of the same name continued to destroy the army of Swat Bots that tried to end it’s rampage. The effort was very much wasted, since their weapons did no damage. Chaos said, “I grow weary of this.” With a wave of it’s hand, the entire platoon of machines were consumed by a massive explosion. After taking in the carnage, Chaos said, “So, tell me Miles. Do you think you can do better?”
Tails stumbled back in shock. With a dark laugh, the creature said, “Did you honestly think I didn’t know you were there? That I was not as all powerful as any of the other lesser gods that reign over this sad and pathetic planet?” it turned in his direction and finished, “That I can’t taste your fear?” the area where tails stood was demolished as it finished it’s words. It it’s head skyward and smiled. “Fascinating. You knew I was about to do that. You truly are living up to the name of your clan. Luckily, I planed for that.” Tails now found himself surrounded by eleven Metal Sonic’s. They prepared to attack, when spikes flying from the ground ripped their bodies apart.
Chaos laughed. “Oh, how foolish. I forgot my manners.” He turned to a figure in a pink cowl and said, “Amy, if you would be so kind.” the figure tore the garment off it’s body and revealed Amy, alive and well. Tails yelled, “Amy! You’re Okay!” She turned to face him and her eyes were a crimson red. She snapped her hands to the side and started to rise from the ground. She continues upwards until she was looking her friend in the eye, without even the slightest emotion present. Tails shook his head and said in a heartbroken voice, “Oh, no. not you too.”
The mystic extended her hand in Tails’ direction and a powerful blast of energy burst forth. The young man received the full force of the attack and fell to the ground. He opened his eyes and say her looking down on him. Cold. Emotionless. Yet something betrayed her heartless expression, a lone tear running down her cheek. “Finish him.” The creature ordered.. Amy aimed her hand at him and black energy was drawn into it. She now had more than enough energy to do the job, but ended up letting it gather in a trance state.
“What are you waiting for, you ignorant wench? Destroy him!” Amy let out an agonized scream as a final surge of energy formed in her hands and at the last second released it’s fill force at Chaos. The blast sent the creature flying a great distance. The black rings that were on her wrists turned a brilliant golden color. She looked in the direction of the creature and said, “Dream on, douche bag.” She stood there for a moment and muttered, “Douche bag? There the hell did that come form?” Tails forced himself to his feet and said, “Trust me. You wouldn’t believe it no matter how I explained it. Let’s get out of here before it come’s back for round two.”
As they ran, Amy yelled, “We have to find Sonic! I need to do something so he can beat that thing.” Tails responded, “What are you talking about? You got some kind of plan?”
“Nope. Even better.” she chimed. “I don’t know, Amy. I don’t think anything other than a plan is really going to help at this point!” Amy held up a red crystal. despite the color, there was no doubt that it was in fact an emerald. “When Chaos was in my head, I learned that certain clans had different abilities should they come in contact with a chaos emerald. Problem is, one is the limit. Any more is fatal. But my theory is that since Sonic is a mix of both the Silver and the Nazo lineage, he might be able to use the positive qualities of all seven emeralds combined.”
Tails yelled, “Interesting theory, but what if you’re wrong?” Amy shrugged and replied, “Well, that an easy one. We inadvertently revive Nazo, he goes ballistic and all life as we know it get’s wiped out of existence. Either way, we’re screwed, with the only difference being that we sped it up.” Tails took on a thoughtful expression, then said, “Well, it sounds better than my plan.”
“What’s that?” Amy asked. The teen said without a moment of thought, “We’re doing it right now!” The mystic nodded. “Well, I hate to admit it, but it seems to be more efficient than my theory, if you ask me.” Tails yelled, “Well, I’m not. Now shut up and keep running!”
Chaos stood up and looked at the dent in it’s metal body. “It seems I underestimated this species. They are not as weak as I gave them credit for.” It turned to the tower and yelled, “Slave! Come to your master!” Shadow appeared in front of the creature, holding Knuckles’ unconscious body beside him. “Forgive my not fulfilling your orders, master, but this meat sack proved to be more trouble than it’s worth.” Chaos smiled and said, “Fortunately for you I have another task. You are to be my vassal, and we will finish this once and for all.”
The aura that powered the machine flowed into the male. His outfit started to change from the energy, becoming more sinister with every passing moment. When Chaos finished possessing Shadow’s body, he stood there in an armor that was as dark as the evil that forged it. He turned to the direction that Amy and Tails fled and said, “Now we end this.”
