The Apocalypse 2: Rise of Zephiles [The Original]

Ch. 20

A fireball hit the corner of the building, sending debris flying. Jason had to shield his eyes so no debris would get in. He looked around for anything they could use to their advantage. Zephiles lifted off into the air and flew to the spot on the road that formed a T shape with the building that Jason was using for cover, a restaurant, and behind Zephiles was a mall. He continued launching fireballs at cars and buildings. "We have to stop him." Jason said. "How?" Blaze asked. Jason looked up and motioned for Blaze. He pointed up and cupped his hands together. She nodded and took a step back. Then she sprang forward, putting a foot in Jason's cupped hands, and he launched her in the air. She landed on the roof of the building and ran to fight Zephiles. Jason turned the far corner and saw Zephiles. And Zephiles saw him. "You should just give up, Jason!" he yelled. Jason took off to go fight him. He pulled the metallic rod from his pocket, which turned into the sword. It was the one Mekkaku had given him before and the one he used against Zephiles on Angel Island. Blaze launched an attack, too. Her arms were completely engulfed in flames and she started launching fireballs at Zephiles. He was almost seven feet away. This made it difficult for her because she had to occasionally dodge an attack from Zephiles tail. Jason ran under him and slid the sword across his foot. Zephiles roared and tried to crush him with his foot but missed. Jason ran up the wall behind Zephiles and kicked off, doing a back-flip and dodging an impale attack from Zephiles' tail. The tails blew a hole in the wall, revealing a dozen scared and confused shoppers. Zephiles swung his tail around, knocking Jason to the ground. Zephiles reached down, picked up Jason, and threw him through the restaurant. He stopped when he hit the building on the other side. Blaze stopped attacking Zephiles and went to help. "Looks like I'm up." Sonic said. "Be careful." Tails said. "Aren't I always?" He sped off and drew his newly made sword that Wave had made back when she was normal. He whipped around the corner a little too fast and ended up running on the side of the building behind Zephiles, who noticed him. He turned and launched a fireball. Sonic jumped off the wall and continued on the road. He jumped in the air and did a homing attack to Zephiles' head. He bounced off and landed on the roof where Blaze had been. "Told you he'd be mad." "I don't wanna hear it." Wave said. They were in another part of Mephiles' base which appeared to resemble a control room. It had been abandoned for years so there were cobwebs on all the switches, dials, and levers. Wave was sitting in a chair and the other was leaning against a control panel. "Tried to warn you." "I said, I don't want to hear it." Wave repeated. "Could've gotten yourself killed, ya know." "That's it." Wave said, getting up from the chair. She went over to her and grabbed her by the neck. "I told you I didn't want to hear it." "You think I'm afraid?" she asked. "Of you?" "You better be." Wave said. "Oh, please." she said. She took her hand and grabbed Wave by her neck. Then she ran forward, pinning Wave against a wall. "You can't beat me, Wave." She tightened her grip around Wave's neck, causing Wave to let go. She held her grasp for another second and then let go. Wave had to gasp for breath. She turned and left the room, leaving Wave gasping for air.
