Gamer got to the area of Mystic Ruin where his friends would be waiting. He sighed when he saw them. Standing slightly to the right a few feet ahead of him, were Sonic, Shadow, and Silver. Standing slightly to the left a few feet ahead of him, were the rest of the Team. They all looked at him as he walked in. Sonic, Shadow, and Silver were all smiling challengingly at him, while the rest of the Team had expressions that ranged from encouraging to doubtful. Gamer sighed again.
He thought, "I can't believe I got myself stuck in this mess." He remembered what happened, 4 days earlier:
(Flashback)
Gamer was talking to Nebula at Tails's Workshop. Jasmine, Katie, and Alex were there as well.
Gamer said, "I know that in a 1-on-1 match between us, we would tie. But I still think that my powers are better than everyone else's in the Team."
Nebula replied sarcastically, "Oh really?"
Gamer smirked, "Yes. In fact, I think I could beat Sonic, Shadow, and Silver while facing all 3 of them at once, by myself."
Nebula sighed, "Gamer, how many times have I told you? Win-"
Gamer replied, "I know, I know. Winning isn't everything. But I still feel that I can win with a strategy."
Nebula smirked evilly, "All right then." She took out her cell phone and called Shadow, who was at Sonic's house.
Shadow answered, "Hey Nebula. What's up?"
Nebula replied, "Can you come to Tails's Workshop with Sonic? But before you get here, find Silver and have him come here as well."
Shadow said, "Sure. Bye." He hung up.
Nebula turned back to Gamer and said, "They'll be here in a few minutes."
A few minutes later, Sonic, Shadow, and Silver all arrived.
Sonic asked, "So what is it?"
Nebula smirked, "Gamer says that he thinks he can beat the 3 of you at once, by himself." The three S's turned to look at Gamer. (I'll use the 3 S's whenever Sonic, Shadow, and Silver do something or say somthing at the same time).
Shadow said, "You think so, huh? Then PROVE IT."
Gamer chuckled nervously, "You know, I was just kidding about that."
Nebula snickered, "You didn't sound like you were kidding."
Gamer backed up as the 3 S's started walking towards him with evil grins on their faces. He tried to teleport away, but Nebula grabbed his arm before he could. He shook it off, and ran towards the door. But Sonic got there ahead of him.
Sonic smirked, "What's the matter, Gamer? Scared?" Sonic walked towards him as Silver and Shadow continud advancing towards him from behind. Gamer desperately looked around for a way to escape, but there was no way out. He looked at Jasmine, Alex, and Katie with a pleading look in his eyes. He mouthed, "Help me guys." All three of them smiled as they shook their heads. Alex and Katie seemed to be enjoying this too much to mouth back.
Jasmine mouthed, "You got yourself into this, Gamer. So it's your job to get yourself out." Gamer groaned when he found that he was now backed up against the wall.
Shadow snickered, "You are scared, Gamer. You're a chicken." The 3 S's started making chicken noises. Gamer got angry, but he didn't want to hurt his friends.
He yelled, "All right, all right! I'll fight you guys."
Silver smirked, "Good."
Gamer asked, "But not today, all right? How about 4 days from now?" The 3 S's exchanged glances.
Sonic shrugged as he said, "I don't see why not. So 4 days from now at Mystic Ruin."
Gamer sighed, "All right."
(End flashback)
First he walked to Katie who was standing next to Alex.
She said, "Are you SURE you want to do this, bro?"
Gamer sighed, "No. But I've got no choice."
Katie replied, "All right. Good luck." Gamer walked towards the 3 S's.
Sonic asked, "Are you ready?"
Gamer said, "As ready as I'll ever be."
Shadow replied, "All right then."
