Chapter 2 now. This chapter will be all the players catching up before the opening game with Sonic
Chapter 2: The build up
Sonic opened. A sense of disgust filled him, "Oh Jet"
"I just came here to tell you hedgehog, us babylonians are expert fighters and you are going down" Jet stated firmly.
"Yeah, we'll just have to see" With that Sonic just slammed the door on Jet's face. After what happened last time they met, Sonic could never forgive him again. Sonic finished his unpacking and decided to go talk to the contestants. He had met everyone he knew before a red Hedgehog came up to him, "You must be Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic turned around.
"Why yes I am, and what is your name?"
"My name is Gezzod, I can pack a deadly punch, so watch out"
"If my super speeds I can, nice to meet you, good luck out there" Sonic called as he ran off. Next he noticed Amy talking to a purple hedgehog. "Hey, Ames, who you talking to?" Amy turned to look at him.
"Sonic, this my old school friend, Natalie" Sonic looked at her. She looked a lot like Amy, except obviously she was purple and her quills were longer.
"Hey there, I'm Sonic"
"Hello there, you must be the guy Amy always talks about on the phone, yes?" Sonic blushed ever so slightly.
"Yeah" he said in a wierd way. Sonic soon ran off back to his friends but was blocked by three tall Robots looking at him.
"Identify...Sonic the Hedgehog" Sonic looked angry, "so that's what eggman sent. Then the robots voice changed to a familiar voice...
"Ho ho ho, you think that's all I got?" Sonic turned around. There was an intercom on the robots. "These robots transform into one with the click of a button. Of course I cannot show myself around here, because I would be aressted. But anyway I have sent 3 more things that WILL stop you Sonic, mark my words" The transmission went and the three robots became one and disappeared. Sonic shrugged it off. He always defeats Eggman anyway. Sonic came back and ran into Silver. The two went around and met other people. None they found interesting. Soon though it was the tournament brief.
"Attention, I am the commentator for this tournament and we will go over the brief. Firstly, my name is Na- I mean Mr. Manoka. As you should know, the prize is 5 chaos emeralds." There they were. Green, cyan, purple, yellow and silver, glowing in their cases. "Beautiful, huh? Anyway, there is no fighting for competitors outside the arenas, in that case it will be an automatic disqualifaction. The fights are simple 1 on 1 cage matches and the first one down for 10 seconds without getting back up loses. The first round is 32 mtaches, all games have been drawn out, but the next rounds will be randomised. Each fight can only last 15 minutes. Before I forget, at any random point in a match, a player can automatically summon a power ring to gain a little edge or heal damage. Ok any questions?" Nobody raised their hand. "Good, now enjoy the hotel, there is bars, pool tables and a restraunt" Everyone ran back to the rooms. It was 8pm and Sonic and all his friends were going to eat at the restraunt. "Oh man tonight is going to be awesome" shouted Manic flinging open the door. "Hey chill out bro, we're here for for ages!" said Sonic. The three had got lucky and had one of the most eye-catching rooms with 8 beds, 3 bathrooms, a full set kitchen. Thankfully there was a shop in the hotel to buy food and sorts. Sonic, Manic and Tails were ready in their suits and went across to Siver's room. They were ready and watching TV, drinking some booze. "Oh, hey guys called" called Knuckles, seeing them come in. Silver and Shadow looked around. They turned of the TV. "Hey you guys, our room has 8 beds, so we can have a sleep over" said Sonic. "Sure, I know a way to lock the door to such extent nobody can break in" said Silver. The six high-fived each other.
"Alright, lets go get the girls" said Shadow. Sonic, Tails and Knuckles went and got Amy, Rouge and Cream. The three stepped out. Sonic was drooling, he thought she looked attractive. "Amy...you...look...beautiful" Sonic said gracefully. Amy just giggled, "Thanks, Sonic" Sonic grinned, he had a plan because she was too beautiful to lose tonight. "Hey, handsome" said Rouge seductively. Knuckles couldn't help himself, he was blushing as red as his face. Rouge noticed this and continued, "Y'know, you don't need to be gentle...I like it rough" Knuckles was losing himself here. Rouge was wearing a short dress that really showed her, ahem, chest and legs and Knuckles wanted her so bad. He didn't need to guard that emerald anymore. It was just her. Tails and Cream just talked. They weren't old enough to understand romance. Yet. The Chaotix and Starlight joined them and downstairs. On the way, Amy noticed Sonic was holding her hand, which she thought was wierd. But she didn't say anything. This was getting her closer to her goal in life. Starlight noticed he was the only one not dressed up, but didn't care. He wasn't focused on romance or turf war. He was focused on the emeralds. And if he got them, he would move on, not letting anyone have them. Soon, they arrived at the restraunt. Amy asked her friend to join and Fang, Mighty, Bean and Bark were asked to tag along as well. Sonic went up to the man, "Table for 20 please" The man looked bewildered at Sonic, but noticed the amount of people behind them. "Yes, sir, this way please" The man took them to along table. Shadow and Silver sat at the head of the tables. Sonic sat next to Shadow but on the side, beside Sonic was Amy then Natilie, Tails, Cream, Espio, Vector, Mighty and Manic. On the other side was Knuckles, Rouge, Tikal, Blaze, Sonia, Charmy, Fang, Bean and Bark. They all ordered 3 courses each and the meals were beautiful. Something was bothering Amy though. Sonic likes her as a friend but she had a feeling Sonic liked her in a different way. That was confirmed when the bill came. It was $25 each. Amy reached into her bag, but a hand stopped her, "I'l pay for you Amy" Amy looked up to see Sonic smiling at her. "Thanks, Sonic" Sonic looked around then came back to Amy, "Listen, Amy, I've got to ask you something. Something you've wanted for a long time" Amy gasped. Was he serious? "Amy Rose, will you be my girlfriend?" Amy was lost for words, then they suddenly reappeared. "OH GOD, SONIC YES!" she screamed. Everyone turned around to the pair. "What's going on?" asked Rouge. Amy was smiling. "Sonic just asked me out!" Sonic covered his face. Everyone awwed. "Well done Sonic, finally grew some balls did we?" joked Knuckles. Sonic was smiling, though. He was going to play as well. "Well, Knuckles seeing how you have balls, WHO are you going to ask out?" Sonic replied looking at Rouge the whole time. Knuckles was blushing like mad, "Well...uh you see...uh...It's, ah, I'm not telling you" Knuckles eventually got out. Sonic was grinning as he knew how Knuckles liked. As did Shadow which was bothering him a little. Shadow scanned the competion in the room. It looked grim. Then someone caught his eye. He gasped when he saw it was Blaze. He never had a conversation with her. But to Shadow she looked stunning. Shadow smiled. If he got past Silver, she could be his. After an hour at the table talking, the guys went to the rooms likewise the girls. Like the guys, the girls were having a sleepover. Sonic, Tails, Manic, Shadow, Knuckles and Silver were taking it easy on the drink, not knowing if they would be fighting the next day. Instead they were chatting. "Sonic, man you are so lucky" said Manic. Sonic grinned.
"You like her?"
"Well, I think she's hot in all, but I wouldn't take her from you. Maybe" Sonic laughed at the little joke. "Hey see that commentator's voice, is it me or was it familiar?" asked Knuckles.
"Yeah Knuckles, too familiar" said Tails.
"I just hope nothing's fishy out here"
Sonic had gotten up before everyone else. He got prepared before going for a morning run. By the time everyone else was up and ready, Sonic had returned and they all went over to Rocky Dust hill where todays fights were being hosted. It was 12pm when the commentator spoke. "Alright everyone, our blue hero, who is hopefully setting this tournament on fire, Sonic the Hedgehog!" The crowd applauded loudly, "and his opponent... Caesar the Star Fox" A white fox came out standing in a fighting postion, showing no fear to who he was going up against. Sonic grinned, "Okay, lets do this!"
Matchday 1: Sonic vs. Caesar
Sonic wasn't expecting it, but somehow the fox shot a white beam from his wrist, sending Sonic back and stunning him. The fox ran up to him and put in a powerful kick, and Sonic was thrown to the other side of the arena. Sonic quickly got back on his feet and used his speed to make a tornado that made Caesar dizzy. Sonic took full advantage of this and used a Sonic boom to attack Caesar. Sonic jumped into the air and started spinning but Caesar got back up and shot a beam. Sonic's dash though, absorbed this beam and it shot back Caesar before Sonic's spin sent him flying. Caesar was almost down for the count but he summoned a power ring. He started levitating and beams shot from everywhere. Sonic had to be super swift to dodge them all before homing attacking them to get a direct hit into Caesar. Sonic was not finished though. He then grabbed Caesar and started spinning before letting go, sending Caesar flying. With a huge thud, Caesar hit the ground in some pain. Sonic was 3 seconds away from victory before Caesar got back up and hit a beam at Sonic, that surprised him. Sonic shook the pain off and a golden ring landed in his hand and started using its power. At that point, Sonic used his spindash to really damage Caesar, who was getting tired. He used his final trick. He jumped really high, before coming back down and smashing the ground. A laser channeled along the ground, but it wasn't quick enough and Sonic was quick to react. After jumping over the 3 ground beams, Sonic skillfully slid into Caesar, knocking him unaware and Sonic decided to finish him with a Sonic boom. Caesar was struck bad and he needed help. His original plan was to counter-attack Sonic's moves, but it had gone horribly wrong. He was down and probably out.
"5, 6, 7, 8, 9...10! Sonic is the winner!" shouted the commentator. The crowd, especially Sonic's friends, whistled and applauded loudly. Sonic was about to help Caesar, but the silver fox looked up at him with a smile. "It was an honour, Sonic the Hedgehog" he said. Sonic smiled and gave him his trademark thumbs up. Caesar was taken to the hospital. Sonic, though was moving on. He was into the second round. "Alright everyone time for our next fight...Shadow the Hedgehog vs. Storm the Albatross." This was going to be fun...
This is how it'll be. The next chapter will be 7 fights, then 8 the next and so on and so forth. Hope you enjoy this.
