(I don't own Sonic or Sega)

The minute the clock hit zero Tails jumped up in the air and sent a flame down towards Sonic.

Sonic quickly dodged the flames Tails was sending down at him and stretched his arm up to Tails and clawed his chest.

Tails clutched his chest in pain and collapsed from the sky to the ground.

Sonic ran up to Tails as he appeared to be knocked out for a moment, but the minute Sonic came up to him Tails shot a blast of fire right at Sonic and burnt his left shoulder.

"Agh!" Sonic yelled in pain. Sonic fell backwards to the ground as Tails jumped up in the air and tried to punch Sonic with his flaming fist.

Sonic rolled out of the way and and threw his arm right at Tails's face and landed a direct hit.

The blow from Sonic's punch sent Tails flying back into a the flame wall as Sonic carefully approached Tails again because he didn't want to get burned.

Tails quickly recovered from the knockback and posed a new stance, he was on all fours and began to run like a normal fox.

Sonic tried to keep up with Tails but he had suddenly gained an enourmous amount of speed and struck at Sonic from behind with his claws.

Sonic collapsed to the ground as Tails came up to Sonic and boasted, "Who's the faster one now?"

Sonic quickly turned around and grabbed Tails by the neck and pushed him against the wall.

"You won't be as fast as me, not with the way you betrayed someone who cared for you like this." Sonic yelled in anger while he slowly strangled Tails.

Tails struggled to breath as he tried to say something to Sonic. "S-sonic listen to me, it's a stage."

"What do you mean?" Sonic asked as he slowly let pressure off of Tails's neck.

"I mean, this I don't want to kill you, I only want you to fake your death so I can get up close to my father and kill him." Tails replied.

Sonic kept hold of his neck and kept on asking questions. "If that's true, then why didn't you say that before?" Sonic asked.

"Look around you, do you think I could of just up and told you that in front of everybody?" Tails replied.

"Listen just trust me, we need to keep this fight going for a while and then i'll pretend to kill you, and i'll explain everything else later." Tails replied to Sonic.

Sonic just looked at Tails's eyes and saw that he seemed to be telling him the truth.

"Alright i'll go along with this, but try not to hurt me too much." Sonic said.

"Well i'll try, oh and sorry for this." Tails apologized.

"Sorry for what?" Sonic asked.

Tails raised his hand and shot a mild blast of fire at Sonic's stomach causing him to let go of Tails.

Sonic got up and started to limp over to Tails, but Tails began to whip Sonic with his flaming Tails.

The Tails left burning gashes and cuts all over Sonic's body until Tails saw that Sonic had enough.

Sonic was on the ground gasping for air and trying to get away.

Tails had summoned a ball of fire from his palm and began to aim at Sonic. "Remember Sonic, only pretend to die, i've turned down the temperature of the fire so it won't hurt you that much." Tails whispered to Sonic.

Sonic closed his eyes in defeat as he waited for Tails to deliver the, "Supposed," finishing blow to him.

Tails began to cry as he pointed his palm over to they werehog on death's bed and shot the flames at him.

Sonic was surprised that the flames were actually help heal his pain rather than give him pain.

After about Two minutes of Tails blasting him with flames, Tails stopped shooting the fire at Sonic and looked to see that he was black from all of the soot and still had all of his burns and cuts.

Tails came up to Sonic and looked at his burned body, he tried to hold back his tears, even though he knew he wasn't dead.

"I'm sorry Sonic, hopefully my healing flames will heal you soon." Tails thought to himself as he faced the roaring crowd.

"Victory!" Tails shouted to the crowd as he looked up to his father.

Ninetails looked at Tails in a proud manner and announced his gratitude for his son. "We have a winner!" "My son Onikitsu will now become the prince and together we will destroy this land!"

The crowd roared some more as Tails just looked away, meanwhile Ninetails came down to congratulate Tails. "Well done my son, i'm so proud of you…"

Ninetails went over to Sonic's body for a moment because he thought he saw some movement out of him.

Tails began to sweat in fear for he wasn't sure what to do if his father found out that Sonic was still alive.

Sonic was scared stiff, because he could feel Ninetails's premise right beside him, desperately trying to hold his breath.

Ninetails bent down and felt Sonic's neck for a pulse and found out that Sonic was alive, just after that Sonic let go of his breath and sat up.

"He's alive?" Ninetails asked in astonishment as the crowd gasped.

Suddenly Ninetails felt a sudden stab of pain in his back, he turned around to see that Tails had stabbed his claws into his back.

"Sorry dad, but you didn't keep your word about Mobius, so i'm afraid I had no choice.

Tails then sent a blast of flames right through Ninetails's heart and let go of him.

Ninetails collapsed to the ground as Tails ran over to Sonic while the crowd gasped in shock.

"Sonic are you ok?" Tails asked.

"Yeah, i'm fine." Sonic replied. "But i'm still cut and burned all over."

"Sorry, I guess I over did it." Tails replied. "Here let me fix that."

Tails then sent his healing flames through Sonic's body and slowly healed his wounds.

"How did you learn how to do that?" Sonic asked.

"I don't know, I guess I just knew." Tails replied.

Tails had almost finished up healing Sonic's wounds until he saw a dark shadow cover both of them.

Tails then turned around to see that Ninetails was standing right in front of both of them.
