Now on to the story. Enjoy!


Days have past since the fight with Pepsiman happen. During those past days, Honey went to fight against three more of the fighters from the Viper tournament. All tougher than the other as she proceeded further in the tournament. She would also take some her time to know each fighter's fighting style and background.

As Honey fought more in the tournament, she became a fan favorite among the people who were watching her fights. People would make room in their schedule just to watch Honey fight. Candy was also making money and profits as sales of the famous red dress that Honey is wearing in the tournament was skyrocketing like no other of her products have never before as the demands went high for them.

The cute pigtail cat was being loved around the world, inspiring young girls to be cute and tough like her as they watch her matches. Some men fell in love with her and women wanting to be her, so they form some small fanclubs dedicating to Honey's matches. Honey was becoming the best around and nothing was keeping her down.

Her fifth opponent in the Viper tournament was a large overweight grumpy man named Sanman. The match took place back Old Armstone Town where Honey first fought Bahn in the tournament, only this time in the sunset instead of during the day. Sanman was a tough opponent since he relied more on heavy attacks and defense, thus making him a powerhouse character.

Sanman wore blue jeans, black boots, and a yellow shirt while wearing over them in black armor parts on his legs, shoulders, waist, head, hands and yellow knee pads. On his armor parts had the number 3 on them. Candy said to Honey that Sanman has a strange proclivity for the number 3 and saying his relations with others are not very good, but he's friendly with Picky.

Sanman is a man of mystery. Nobody knows very much about, and he does not speak much of anything. Another thing that Candy knows for sure about Sanman is that he drives and works on special custom scooter he made himself.

Fighting is the only self-expression for Sanman and has various techniques such as "Bodily Crush" and "Hip Attack" that dash is very powerful in particular. Honey had a hard time dealing with Sanman by trying to deal some damage to the large man, but eventually she by punching out his armor and punching him out of the cage with the power of her glide that he's able to do with her wings.

After the fight, Sanman actually smiled and spoke up to Honey by wishing her luck in her matches and gave her stamp of the number three on the palm of hand as his way of respect and Honey gave her sign of respect by nodding at the large man.

The sixth fight took place in the elevator of the city tower of Armstone City and the fight was not in a cage this time for was surrounded by glass walls. Sonic and the gang had to watch the match on a helicopter outside the city tower that Candy owns.

There, Honey faced off against an electric guitarist named Raxel. Raxel is a typical vain wannabe rock star who is the lead vocalist/guitarist of his rock band named "Death Crunch" that is well known in Armstone City for his talent and charisma from the band.

Candy inform Honey that Raxel left high school to pursue his musical career and has caused a rift between him and his municipal assemblyman father. Raxel enters the tournament to promote his rock band around the world and gain more fame as he is an out-and-out narcissist to do so.

Raxel had a long rocker hair-do that was blonde. He mostly wears black except he wore armor on his shoulders, wrist, and front legs that were colored in red. On his black shirt was the logo of his band and on his back was his red electric guitar with him. He almost looked a band member of KISS, but without the face makeup.

This fight between Honey and Raxel was a lot different than the ones before. For in this fight it was timed judging by the elevator. The two fighters had to hurry up and win the match before the elevator they were riding on reaches the top floor cause if they don't it would end up as a tie, which none of them want to happen.

Honey had to be careful to not be hit by Raxel's red guitar that he was swinging at her during their match. Raxel was would also play his electric guitar and scream out the word "YEAH!" like the wildman rocker he is to hurt Honey's ears. Honey also had to avoid Raxel's powerful "Deadly Spin Kick" and "Sliding Kick" that he was almost doing non stop as the elevator almost reached the top.

Honey manage to win the match by throwing Raxel out of the area with a high jump kick to his stomach and made him crash through the glass wall they were surrounded by and fell off from the elevator. Luckily for Raxel that he was caught by some jumpers that surround the city tower, preventing anyone to fall to their doom.

When Raxel came back up the top floor to meet Honey. He congratulated by playing an epic guitar solo for her and gave her a free cd album of his band Death Crunch. The two bid farewell to each other as smiled Honey, knowing she made another friend in the tournament.

Honey's next match took place immediately after her match with Raxel. The match took place in a dark room on the top floor of the city tower where the elevator stopped after Honey's match with Raxel. The room was almost couldn't completely covered in darkness. The room light up and reveal her next opponent of the Viper tournament.

Honey's next opponent was a fierce and strong woman named Jane. Candy has told Honey that ever since Jane was a little girl, she has always wanted to become a Marine. Throughout high school, Jane trained her muscles to the limit so that one day she may proudly serve in the Corp.

However, the Marines rejected her application, considering her mentally unstable due to a near-lethal blow she once administered during a heated struggle. She was then forced to work as a subway construction worker in Armstone City. Jane's purpose of entering the Viper tournament to measure and justify her training in from her youth.

Jane wore a red bandana wrapped on her forehead similar to Solid Snake instead of wearing a helmet unlike most fighters in the tournament, thinking that wearing a helmet are for sissies. She wore combat boots that was once given to her during her time registering for the Marines that she kept since then. Ear rings were also present on both her ears, showing a bit of her feminine side by showing her interest in jewelry.

She wore green cargo pants that really stood out from her the most. She had her short brown hair that slick back thanks to the bandana she was wearing. Her chest armor was white and cover the front and back of her body but did cover her muscular feminine arms that she worked hard to achieve. She had white armor gloves, white armor knee pads, and white armor plates on her hips.

Honey's fight with Jane was again different just like her fight with Raxel. This time the fight took place in the dark room with very little light in the observation room of the tower. Honey couldn't even see her own body in the darkness as well as Jane's body as they fought against each other.

The pigtail cat had to rely on her senses and hearing in order to put up a fight against Jane. People who were there in the dark room to watch the match live were given night vision goggles while the people watching the match on their tv screens watch the match in night vision.

Jane was known to have some powerful punches that could easily K.O. Honey if she's not careful. Jane would use her elbows and her knees attack Honey on the stomach, face, and back. Jane was also good on her senses that there was time she was able to block and counter Honey attacks in good timing.

Most importantly Honey had to be careful of Jane's most powerful move the super powerful Tornado punch, which would put Honey in a big daze preventing her to even move her body. She would try combine both her Tornado punch and her power punch in order to beat Honey.

Despite Jane being really strong, she moved very slow on her feet which Honey took the advantage to help her in the match. Honey used the knowledge that Candy gave of her that Jane had a short temper struggle.

Using that advantage, Honey won the match by making Jane angry and made her go berserk, making her use all her strength and stamina in the match. When Jane was tired out from the attacks she threw at Honey. The yellow cat then beat her by punching her on the parts her armor weren't covering her, but also manage to break her armor plates.

After the match, Jane gave Honey one of the most toughest handshake she had ever received in her life as a sign of respect from the construction worker. Jane even gave Honey her red bandana as gift as they were friends, Honey wrapped the bandana on her forehead with pride as she and Jane parted ways.

The next day

The day after the fight with Raxel and Jane. It was a lazy afternoon, Sonic, Honey, Candy, Tails, Tiara, and Knuckles were back at manor where they were watching the tv together in the living. They had their eyes glue to the tv screen with anxious eyes.

The gang are waiting for Honey's results from the tournament to pop on the large tv screen that Candy owns. They were curious to see if Honey had enough points to to fight the last boss of the Viper tournament. The results of the fighters were being broadcasted around the world.

Everybody was sitting a sofa together with Tails holding a large bowl popcorn and eating as he didn't move his eyes. Both Candy and Knuckles kept static faces showing no emotions as they waited for the result of the tournament. Sonic and Tiara were holding their hands together in a tight grip, hoping that Honey made the cut. Honey herself was chewing nervously on her cat claw as she waited.

Then on the tv screen appeared the profile pictures of Honey, Bahn, Grace, Picky, Pepsiman, Sanman, Raxel, and Jane. Next to their profile pictures were their points that they earn from their matches. The points were tally up together to see who has the most from the other fighters.

Honey was chewing on her cat claws even more nervously as she saw her points being calculated on the tv screen in front of her. Once the points were done being the calculated, Honey and the other Viper members began to be rank by numbers from last to first.

In last place came Raxel, Sanman, Jane, Pepsiman, Picky, Grace, Bahn, and in first place Honey. The gang sprang out from their seats and screamed for joy the moment they saw Honey's profile picture being in first and above the rest of the Viper members.

Sonic and Tiara hugged each other in joy, Tails threw his bowl of popcorn up in the air in joy, Knuckles gave a fist bump to Candy. Honey couldn't believe it has she stood still with a huge smile on her.

"You did it Honey!" Tiara said, congratulating the yellow cat. Honey looked at her friends with a smile and let out a small tear of joy. "No, we did it." Honey said, wiping her tear knowing she couldn't have gotten this far without the help and support of her friends.

"Group hug!" Candy shouted happily as everybody gather around for a group. "I can't believe it you guys! I'm going to the finals!" Honey squee in joy as everybody let go of each other. "This calls for a celebration." Sonic said, as he hugged his sister Honey. "I'm all ready ahead of you, Sonic. We can celebrated in one of my restaurants. Honey's final match happens in two days." Candy stated.

"Alright! A celebration!" Honey said, excitedly. "Especially since I'm done making your suits and dresses that I said I was making for you guys." Candy said, smiling at Sonic and the gang. "Woah! Really?" Sonic excitedly. "Eeyup, just finish making them yesterday. I was gonna give it to ya then, but I decided to wait after we see Honey's results of the tournament." Candy said.

Candy went to a nearby closet in the room, took out boxes in present boxes with everybody's names on it, and hand them the boxes. Sonic and the gang looked at the boxes with faces of glee, actually excited to wear some clothes made by the famous fashion designer for them. Even the boxes were fashionly design.

"Go ahead and try them on fast. We'll departure very soon to one of the restaurant to celebrate for Honey." Candy giggled, seeing the happy faces of the gang. Honey went to Candy and hugged her, "Thanks for the outfits Candy." Honey said, as she hugged the waist of her human teacher. Candy hugged back the yellow cat, "Anything for my sweet little Honey and her friends." Candy said, smiled and hugged Honey.

Hours later

The gang soon found themselves back at the same restaurant they were at before when Candy took them out for lunch. This time wearing the outfits Candy made them. For Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles are wearing some fancy black tuxedo that.

Tiara was wearing a beautiful scarlet dress that shines beautifully when the sun's light hits and her dress shows a bit of her curvy hips, much to Sonic's delight. (Sonic: Me gusta!) Honey was wearing something similar to Tiara, only her dress was a slim white dress with jewels in grave on them. Candy was wearing a slim dark blue dress that matches the night sky.

When the gang first arrived to the restaurant with their new outfits, they shocked the people around on how stunning they looked on them. The paparazzi this time around didn't go straight to Candy, instead they went to Honey as they wanted to get an interview and her thoughts about her last match on the Viper tournament. Luckily Candy had her security guards to keep the paparazzi away from Honey, so she can have a great time with her friends.

The gang were laughing and eating to heart's desire since they can pretty much have anything from the restaurant that Candy owns, having the best meals and drinks being served to them. Tails was absent from the gang. Instead the yellow fox was up on stage in the restaurant doing karaoke for the audience and the crowd was loving his singing.

The restaurant was covered in darkness as the spotlight is on Tails as he sang. The young fox was singing a cheesy 80's love song called "Right Here Waiting" by Richard Marx. Tails was singing the song so passionately that he was attacking women's heart from how adorable he looked in his new tux. Tails was even shedding fake tears that glisten under the spotlight as he sang making the women woo and whistle in delight.

"Wow, I never knew Tails had the singing voice of an angel." Candy said, watching the yellow fox perform his song. "Well Tails has to put that eight year old voice of his to good use." Knuckles said, praising his friend's performance. "That and because Tails loves doing karaoke." Sonic stated as everybody looked at each other and talk while Tails was singing in the background.

Honey looked at her teacher with a curious look, "Candy, any advice on my last opponent?" Honey asked. Candy then began to ruminate by putting a hand on her chin, "I really can't help you on this one." Candy answered. "How come?" Honey curious. "B.M.'s fighting style is a real enigma more than Pepsiman." Candy answered.

"Then how did you beat Mayor B.M. years ago?" Honey asked. "I had to give it my all when I face him. No second chances, no recovery, and no little breaks is what happened. Mayor B.M. even broke parts of my armor off one by one with just one punch." Candy said, thinking back to her match against B.M.

"I remember that my blood was pumping like never before in that match. I felt like there was no chance of me making a single scratch to B.M. anywhere. I felt like I already lost the match the moment it started and when I laid my eyes on Mayor B.M. that day of our match." Candy said.

Hearing Candy's description was making Honey nervous, "Oh man he's sounds tough." Honey said. "Yeah, Mayor B.M. pretty much has the perfect stats of any of the Viper members. Perfect speed, defense, power, and stamina. He's almost unstoppable, but I manage to beat him with all I got." Candy said, looking at her fist and clenched it hard.

Candy put a hand on Honey's shoulder to comfort her, "Don't worry about B.M. when you face him, Honey." Candy putting on a smile for the pigtail cat. "If I could manage to beat Mayor B.M. years ago then so can you. I know it." Candy giving Honey hope.

"Yeah Honey, we know you can do it." Sonic said, giving a thumbs up. "That Chaos Emerald is good as ours. You're still our friend no matter if you win or lose." Tiara said, giving a nod. "Don't start to worry Honey, just focus on winning your match." Knuckles said, giving his own advice. "Thanks you guys." Honey smile at her friends.

As the gang stopped talking, the place began to light again as Tails just finished performing his song the audience started throwing roses at the yellow fox and clapped out loud for him. Tails decided to have a bit of fun by throwing teasing kisses at a group of females near him and making them faint. Sonic and the gang couldn't help but roll their eyes and smile at their fox friend's action as Tails flew back to the group with his two tails.

"Boy that was fun!" Tails said, grabbing a napkin and wiped the remaining fake dry tears on him. "That was great bro! But did you really have to go far by shedding those fake tears?" Said Sonic. "Of course! It's the only way to make the performance to show emotion from me." Tails said.

"Plus some of the women here are suckers for men that show their emotion." Tails said, as he saw a group of beautiful women walking together and waved hello to them. "I suppose you're right." Sonic said, scratching his head as he looked at the women who were smiling and giggling at his brother Tails.

Just then the restaurant went dark completely dark like when Tails was performing his song. "Oh no! I just hope nobody gets killed when the light come back on and this whole place becomes a mystery murder case like in those tv shows." Sonic said, worried.

"Oh don't worry about Sonic, the restaurant is just choosing the next person to sing on the front stage. Look, the spotlight is choosing the next singer." Candy said, as spotlight appeared in the dark. "I wonder who's gonna sing next?" Tails wonder, as he took a sip of his drink.

The spotlight then began to move in the darkness of the crowd, choosing the next person to sing upstage. The spotlight at first was moving in a fast rate and slow down as it close to choosing the next singer. As the spotlight slowed down it finally stopped and picked Sonic as the spotlight shine on him.

"Me?" Sonic questioned and pointed himself. "Well Sonic seems like the spotlight has chosen you to sing next." Candy teasing the hedgehog. "Try not to choke Sonic." Knuckles teased his friend. "You can sing great Sonic." Tails said. "Good luck out there." Honey smiled at her brother. "Here's a little good luck kiss from me. I know you'll sing great." Tiara said, giving Sonic a kiss on the cheek.

Sonic blushed a bit from Tiara's kissed and the praises of his friends, "Thanks, I'll give out one heck of a performance. Just you wait and see." Sonic said, standing up from his seat, giving a thumbs up, and ran towards the stage to perform his song.

As Sonic got up on stage, audience starting watching the blue hedgehog dusting his tuxedo and making sure it's comfortable to wear while he performs and his fixed his bowtie, since Sonic likes bowties and thinks they're cool. The Blue Blur decided to sing something fancy since he wearing a fancy tuxedo that would fit with the song as the beat started to play.

Sonic has chosen a song from Bobby Darin called "Mack the Knife" that took everybody by surprise with his choice of song and genre. Sonic was putting on a excellent performance as people were watching him on every step and even mimicking the way Bobby Darin would perform his songs by swinging his arms, clapping his hands, snapping his fingers, and make funny small noises that the crowd would laugh.

Sonic even asking the crowd to join in his singing by clapping their hands together. The crowd was loving Sonic's performance as they swing their bodies and stomp their feets while sitting on their seats like they have never done before.

Sonic's girlfriend, Tiara, was giving a seductive look with huge blush on her cheeks to Sonic, thinking how lucky she had Sonic as her boyfriend while everybody else on the group table were smiling and clapping along to the song.

As the blue hedgehog was putting a spectacular performance, he was unaware that far from where he was, a woman in the crowd was watching him with a sick, hungry, and sadistic smile as she hid her appearance in the darkness. This woman had of one her hands on her cheek while keeping her wicked smile, watching Sonic perform his catchy song about a dangerous killer.

This was the same woman that was with B.M. earlier in the story. The woman was in the far back of the room, making her separate from the other crowd and alone in the dark. The woman's appearance was hard to make of because of the dark spot she was hiding in. The only you could see from the vile woman was her red slim garnet dress, a white pearl necklace, and a amethyst ring on one of her fingers for she was dressed for the occasion of the restaurant.

She has sharp teeth like a shark would bite with, showing how pearly white they are. The mysterious woman was wearing red lipstick on those devilish lips on her as she smiled at the blue hedgehog. On the other hand that was free of the woman, she was holding a jack knife that she was playfully spinning around with her fancy glove hand and a rose flower tucked in one of her ears.

When Sonic finish his song, the crowd stood up from their seats and clapped for the hedgehog as he bow down and thanked them. The mysterious woman did something different than clapped her hands for the hedgehog. She fiercely jabbed her jack knife on her table hard with mixture of angry, happy, and love emotions running through her head when Sonic finished his song and kept her devilish eyes on the blue hedgehog.

The woman then slowly stood up from her seat as everybody kept on cheering for the hedgehog. The swing her curvy hips that she was swinging left and right as she walked in a seductive way towards the exit of Candy's restaurant. The woman slightly turned her head slightly back to Sonic on stage, who still giving bows and roses being thrown by the audience.

The woman smiled as she watch Sonic jump off the stage and went to sit back with his friends where for the rest of the day they sat and ate. The woman face forwards again and kept on walking towards the exit with that sadistic smile on her face as she spoke up.

"Oh Macky is back alright. Macky is back in town, Sonic, and all it took was one…..bad…..day." The woman slowly said, in a deadly tone, before giggling and exiting the restaurant, disappearing without a trace of red.
