Knock Out
Wham! Pow! Smack! My opponent hit the floor as the bell dinged.
"And he's out again! Give it up for our raining Kangaroo champion Ricky!" The referee exclaimed.
I held my hands, which were cover with red boxing gloves, in the air and laughed, "Anyone else thinks they can take me on?"
"We have one more challenger for Ricky tonight!" The announcer exclaimed, "All the way from parts unknown, you know him, you love him, it is Knuckles the Echidna!"
As the crowd began to cheer, my ears picked up a conversation that I found interesting.
"So why is Knuckles here again?" A young voice asked.
"I have no idea, he said something about wanting to try boxing as a way to train," Another older, yet somehow bored, voice sighed, "Personally I'd rather be fighting Eggman's robots than watching these things."
"What if Knuckles wins?" The young voice inquired.
"Good for him, but we'll still need to get the chaos emerald here."
"Yeah, I'm excited to see knuckles put this guy in his place!"
"Really, about as excited as you are when we fight Eggman?"
"Yeah, maybe that guy will help us!"
"Help us get the chaos emerald, please Tails. You, Knuckles, and I have got it covered!"
I saw my opponent step into the ring, he had red hair all over his body, one his legs he had some kind of red tennis shoes with yellow stripes and a green rim. He also had on white boxing gloves with spikes on them.
"Now that is just fighting dirty mate," I smiled, "But I'll take you on!"
"It's not like you have a choice!" The echidna laughed before hitting me in the jaw. I reeled back and landed a blow to his chest. He followed by trying to land and uppercut. I sidestepped, but missed with my attack as well. The echidna swung at me again, this time managed to his my chest and tried to follow with a blow to my face which was easily blocked it before I tried to counter by elbowing his face. The echidna blocked my elbow and laughed.
"Yeah, you sure are a great boxer," He laughed before I pulled my hand away and hit him across the face. The echidna growled and let another blow fly to my stomach, knocking the wind out of me for a few brief seconds before I caught myself and lunged at the red beast. The red beast sidestepped and landed another gut-wrenching blow. As I flew back, the echidna ran up to me and tried to land a blow to my face, I blocked it and counter by hitting him with a left hook, then an uppercut. The red animal hit the ground, but got up rather quickly.
"Looks like you've got a lot of spunk mate," I smiled as wind began to envelop my boxing gloves, "I'm actually going to have to use some of my hard hitting techniques on you!" I stated before lunging forward while the wind around my fist became more violet. While trying to land a blow, the echidna jumped over my attack and punched my face.
"You call that a technique?" He laughed, "I've seen better techniques from a Chao!"
"Low blow mate," I said, "Low blow!"
"Aw, are you sad?" The echidna laughed before being hit by my fire uppercut.
"Just luring you into a false sense of security," I smiled.
"Why you little," The echidna growled before jumping at me again. I punched him square in the face this time as his nose began to bleed. He countered with a blow to my chin.
"You'd make a fine boxer," I smiled and wiped the blood from my mouth.
All of a sudden, the earth began to shake. The boxing right began to split in two as the echidna and I jumped out of it and got ready for what was coming up.
A giant robot with several long arms and pinchers emerged from the ground and tried to snap at the echidna. I noticed a man in what looked like the cockpit of the robot. He had the body similar to that of an egg with a round, pink nose, and a long brown mustache. He had goggles or glasses on along with a typical mad scientist uniform.
"Now I've got you right where I want you!" The man laughed, "And I have a Chaos emerald right here!" the man said as his robot held up a small, blue emerald.
"Oi mate," I shouted, "What do you think you're doin' coming here and interrupting a good match?"
"Oh absolutely nothing," The man smiled, "I was just about to win it for you!"
"Ay! I only win things fair and square," I spat and looked at the echidna, "You want to take'em on?"
"Yeah, let's do this!" The echidna smiled.
The two of us jumped into the air and landed two punches to the robot's chest. The robot swooped around and tried to grab me, I easily dodged as a violent gale wind enveloped my left fist. I punched with all my might and made a medium sized dent in the robot. The echidna had already made about a thousand small dents.
"I take back what I said," The echidna replied, "You're a decent fighter."
"You too," I shouted while dodging a claw attack.
"Hey Knuckles!" A voice from earlier said, "Need a hand?"
All of a sudden a blue hedgehog with red tennis shoes with white stripes on them and white gloves jumped into the ring. A yellow fox with two tails, shoes and white gloves followed while I took position by the echidna.
"Sonic, Tails, Kangaroo guy, you all ready for one heck of a party?" Knuckles smiled.
"Let's rock and roll!" The blue hedgehog exclaimed as he ran at lightning speed towards the giant robot, easily dodging all of its attacks and using something I could only describe as a spin dash to hit the center. I decided to run using another one of my techniques. Fire began to engulf my fist before it hit the body of the giant robot, making the metal tender.
"Knuckles," I exclaimed, "Can you break down the metal?"
"Can do," Knuckles smiled as he punched a giant hole in the robot.
"I can take care of this!" The fox exclaimed and threw some strange looking gold rings into the robot. The rings exploded, causing the robot to buzz and beep uncontrollably.
"Guys," The blue hedgehog laughed, "I've got this!" with that he spin dashed and knocked the robot to the ground, causing it to drop the emerald. The fox flew into the air and grabbed it.
"I got it Sonic!" he cheered.
"That's great Tails!" the blue hedgehog smiled.
"You didn't do half bad Ricky," Knuckles said as he turned to me, "Feel like coming along with us to secure the chaos emeralds?"
"I have no idea what you're talkin' about mate," I said before beating my chest with my left arm, "But give me a day to think on it. Also when do you want a rematch?"
"Feel free to fight me anytime," Knuckles smiled.
"Very well then," I said, "For now, I shall leave. Good night, mates!" I said and began to walk off. As the moon's reflection hit me I smiled, "That was one of the best boxing matches I've ever had. I need to do that again sometime!"
