Sonic Battle 2
Prologue: Reunion
It has been a few months since Emerl was destroyed by a deadly malfunction. Since then, the Estuary in Holy Summit has returned to normal, and Chaos has returned to the Master Emerald. E-102 "Gamma" was dismantled by Eggman once again to fuel his latest fiendish scheme, which yet remains unknown. The whole crew is currently at Sonic's house holding a Mario Kart party. Little did they know that they were to have two unexpected visitors...
Espio appears "Hmm, I'm bored. Let's think...I haven't seen Knuckles in a while. Maybe I should visit him."
As Espio left to visit Knuckles, he ran into Mighty, another friend of Knuckles'.
"Hey Espio, where are you going?"
"I'm going to visit Knuckles. You want to come along?"
"Yeah, sure."
And so they set off for Knuckles' house in Holy Summit.
When the two travelers reached Knuckles' house, they found not Knuckles, but a letter hanging of the door.
If you are looking for Knuckles, I am at Sonic's house, and I've taken the Master Emerald with me, so if you wanted to steal it, too bad. If you need to see me, Sonic's house is in Emerald Town.
Knuckles
Reading this, Mighty concluded, "Let's head to Sonic's house in Emerald City!"
"Thanks for stating the obvious," Espio slyly remarked.
And so they set off for Sonic's house in Emerald Town.
After some walking, they reached Emerald Town, and Espio knocked on Sonic's door. Sonic opened the door.
"Hey Espio, what's up?"
"Not much, that's why I came here. Is Knuckles here?"
"Yeah, I'll call him out."
Sonic then turned around and called for Knuckles, then asked Espio and Mighty to sit down. Upon entering, the two bored heroes found that nearly everyone was at Sonic's house. Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, and even Shadow and Rouge were there. And the centerpiece of the hangout was a pair of Gamecubes, connected by LAN cables, with four controllers in one and three in the other. When Knuckles came out, he further welcomed Espio and Mighty.
"Hey guys, what's up?"
"Not much. How about you?"
"I was just about to play Mario Kart. Either of you want to play?"
Both of them simultaneously said, "Yeah, sure!"
"How can both of you play? This is only an eight-player game!"
"Then we'll fight it out!"
Tails cleared out most of the obstacles in the main room, leaving Espio and Mighty with lots of empty space. But Tails left the coffee table so that he wouldn't tip it over and spill the chips.
Both combatants started the fight by charging each other. Espio made a sudden stop and threw a shuriken star at Mighty, but a mere raise of the armadillo's wrist blocked the shot. Then Mighty countered with a punch to the back of Espio's head. The move was blocked. Then Espio jumped and launched something small out of his wrist, but before Mighty could tell what it was, it turned invisible and latched onto the ground. Mighty had an ides where it landed, so he avoided the spot. Then he fired another punch at Espio, and this one connected, sending Espio flying across the room. Mighty ran over to continue the attack, but he forgot about Espio's cloak bomb and stepped on it.
Now both fighters were even. Espio countered the punch from before with a kick, which sent Mighty into the wall. He was able to bounce off the wall, but was then stuck. He seemed to freeze in midair as Espio came to finish the job. He had to think of something, and fast. Then he remembered a move to use. He spread out his hair, stuck out his arms like a superhero, and flew out of the way just as Espio struck with an upward chop. Gliding, Mighty thought, one of the most useful tricks Knuckles taught me. Espio growled with frustration, and he was still ahead, so Mighty still had to think on his feet. But as he realized this, Espio was already off his. He jumped into the air and became invisible! Mighty did the only thing that made sense to him—he hid under the coffee table. Just as he hid, another shuriken star struck the table directly above him.
Espio then stopped in front of the table and became visible again. Then he threatened. "If you don't come out from under this table in five seconds, I'll break it in half with my bare hand!" Mighty had to think again! "Five." That's gonna hurt! "Four." What should I do? "Three." Oh, come on, think! "Two." I've got it! "One." Just as Espio said that, he was met by the table as Mighty tipped it into Espio, crushing him. They were even again, and potato chips were spilled all over the floor.
Now the two fighters faced each other from opposite sides of the room. They knew that the next hit would seal the match. They stared each other down with such a serious stare that it would have been unholy to break the silence. Just then, Tails announced a new, pointless rule: "Loser cleans up the chips!" At that, both fighters lunged at each other. The fighting that followed was rivaled only by the average fight on Dragon Ball Z. Fists and feet flew at high speeds and amazing accuracy, only to be met with equal blocks. But Espio missed one punch. Mighty wasn't expecting it, and the punch hit him just enough to throw him off balance. Then Espio saw the opening and threw one final shuriken star. Mighty was down, and Espio was sitting down playing Gamecube as Mighty vacuumed the yellow, potatoey mess on the floor.
After the party, Amy went home. But when she opened the door into her now-dark apartment, she was met by glowing blue eyes and a single statement.
"Hey mom, I'm home!"
END PROLOGUE
So, how do you like it? Tell me if I should continue. I'm assuming that if you've played Sonic Battle, you should know exactly who Amy's "visitor" was.
