Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 14

Blood gushed from Shadow's split torso. Heavy dripping sounds came as the crimson fluids hit the stone flooring of the entrance. Shadow had somehow moved out of his weapon form just in time. He had held his arms out from each side to shield Sonic. They went limp just before he collapsed.

Sonic watched his partner fall. "This can't be real," He thought.

Out of the corner of his eye, Sonic could tell that Eclipse was readying another strike. He kept looking down at his weapon, waiting for the final hit. The effects of the darkling's screams were subsiding, but he couldn't find the strength to react. Silence hung in the air for an eternity. Sonic hated the idea of facing his enemy. He knew the second he looked, the strike would come. After hearing Eclipse grunt, he finally looked despite his fear.

Eclipse was straining against an unseen force. His body shook as he tried bringing his weapon down on Sonic. Suddenly, the swordsman was lifted off of his feet and flung through the air back into the chapel. The heavy wooden doors of the entrance crashed open.

"Blaze?"

The princess of Sol stood in the cathedral's doorway holding a rapier sword with an ornate, guarded hilt.

"Sonic!" Silver's metallic voice came. "Are you okay?"

"Shadow's hurt!" He crouched down to check on his dying weapon. Seeing the blood soaking Shadow's clothes made his stomach sink. Sonic then felt Silver's wavelength move through the air around him to wrap around Shadow. The power took the form of a pale glow around the black hedgehog.

"I can hold the wound closed with kinesis for now. Let's make this quick, Blaze,"

"Gladly,"

The darkling laid still on the floor of the aisle, moving only to glance around with confusion.

"Someone threw me," Eclipse's body drifted back into a standing position without support from his arms like he were being pulled by an invisible rope around his torso.

Blaze approached the darkling with her weapon pointed at him. Sonic did his best to regain his composure.

"His blood is his weapon. He can harden his veins to stop attacks and paralyze you with screams,"

Keeping her eyes on the monster in front of her, Blaze processed the information before making a move. "His screams won't work on me yet,"

"Oh no, a girl," Eclipse looked at the purple cat as if she were the real monster. "Girls are scary. What do I do with her?"

"Kill," the voice in Eclipse's mind returned.

The darkling giggled before trying to stab the terrifying girl. She lined her blade and moved it to block the attack. Additional attempts came from the darkling, but each strike was stopped by a series of precise parries. After many failed attacks, Eclipse's balance was wavering. His weapon got knocked aside, and Silver's blade stabbed perfectly into the middle of his torso. Creaking came from Eclipse's body when it stopped the weapon's journey prematurely.

"I told him you can't kill it like that!" Eclipse frowned.

"Fine then," Blaze placed her left hand on Silver's hilt to accompany her right.

A plume of fire erupted from Eclipse's chest just before he was launched deeper into the cathedral. Sonic blinked in disbelief.

"Owie!" Eclipse clutched his chest and writhed on the ground.

Blaze marched down the aisle to attack again. Eclipse yelped, then jumped off the ground once he saw her. The two traded blows further. Sonic watched in amazement. Death scythe and meister were fighting with their souls in a delicate harmony. Sonic could see that Eclipse was trying to send soul waves through his attacks to disrupt the resonance like he had done with Sonic and Shadow. The two swords collided, but instead of being cut, Silver's weapon form became cloaked in flames instead. Eclipse was the one he had to back away.
