Chapter 2...well...I do not own Ashura...it was a name of a glitch in a Sonic game. I do not own Sonic.

-------------------

Sonic gazed upon what he was seeing. A huge blue room. Owlo was beside him, and three others were in the room. Two were old, and one was a young adult. The two elderly men were both racoons, and the young one was a hedgehog.

"Sonic," Owlo began, "Your journey shall now begin. Meet your partner, Ashura."

Ashura, who was apparently the hedgehog, looked at Sonic. "Wow... a teenager...do you think you have what it takes, kid?"

Sonic didn't know. "Y...yes... I guess so."

Ashura didn't quite know what to think. Was he truly a hero? Owlo proposed something.

"How about this, Ashura? You and Sonic battle to see if Sonic has what it takes."

Sonic was shocked.

"I guess so, Owlo." He then looked at Sonic. "Don't worry, I won't let you get any major injuries. The battle ends when one of us says 'I give.'"

Sonic guessed this was okay. He would give if he was in a lot of pain.

"I...I think...so..."

"Sonic," said Owlo. "Say it with confidence!"

"Yes, Ashura. Let us battle!"

"There you go!"

-------------------

Robotnik laughed. This was a piece of cake. All the people of Green Hill cowered in fear.

"I am your new leader, Dr. Robotnik!"

A warrior stood up.

"No way!" He charged, but suddenly a bee-like robot was in front of him. In one shot, the guard fell in pain and was left for dead.

"Anyone else?" asked Robotnik. "No? Okay then."

"All hail Robotnik..." said the citizens.

----------------

Ashura looked at Sonic straight in the eye.

"Ready?"

"Sure." responded Sonic.

Sonic charged at Ashura, but felt a punch come to his head.

"You can't be so predictable."

Sonic kicked Ashura, but Ashura blocked with his leg. Then he jumped into the air and kicked Sonic from there. Sonic felt an incredible pain in his head.

"Are you okay?"

"Fine..."

Sonic went at Ashura again, but Ashura got ready to kick him.

Okay... what to do? Wait! His head isn't blocked

Sonic punched at Ashura's head. Ashura blocked the move easily.

Darn!

He stomped as Ashura's kick came at him, causing him to block.

I think I've got it!

He used his other arm to punch, but Ashura punched quicker. Sonic's pain prevented him from finishing the attack.

"Agh!" Sonic shouted.

Ashura ran towards Sonic.

What to do? I could block, but he's coming so fast it would be no use... I guess I have to fight fire with fire?"

Sonic ran at Ashura. Sonic felt a burst of speed. He went faster and faster. Faster than he ever had before.

How is Sonic going so fast at me? He has to be the hero... the next in line is the hero of speed.

Ashura punched Sonic, then kicked him.

So...am I not the hero. All of this for nothing?

"Congrats." Ashura announced. "Hello hero."

"What? I lost!" said Sonic.

"Yes, but your speed proved you had to be the hero." said Ashura.

"So... you two should go free South Island. Robotnik only has but a loose grip on South Island due to a very recent capture!" Owlo said decidedly. "I shall teleport you both." Ashura and Sonic saw yet again the bright light.

They appeared in Green Hill. They had saw what had happened. There were no citizens, just robots. Sonic was in fear. What could they do?

"Whoever this Robotnik person is, he caused a lot of trouble." said Sonic.

Can Ashura and Sonic save Green Hill? R&R and watch out for the next chapter.
