Tournament of the Teams

by Kaity the Chameleon

Eggman forms an alliance with Fear and starts a tournament for reasons unknown to all but them. Now, Sonic & Co must fight for the prize of the Seven Chaos Emeralds. But will Chaotix & Co figure out what's really going on before it's too late?

7. Something Else Going On?

Chapter 1 for (C) cause I'm too lazy to put them up here.

Chapter 7: Something Else Going On?

The Chaotix and team Gracious walked back to their rooms, Waffle getting congratulations all the way. As soon as they got into the Chaotix room, Espio started to talk in a low tone.

"Guys, I think there's something else going on here."

"And what's your reason?" Vector asked.

"Didn't you notice Eggman in the tournament?"

"Yeah. Did you notice Cream beat him?"

"Yes, I did. But why would Eggman enter his own competition? He never plays fair."

"That's true, I half expected that he'd run off with the emeralds while we were all fighting." Vector admitted

"So, what else could be happening?" Waffle asked.

"I dunno yet." Espio shrugged. But the four who aren't fighting can look around, see about anything...unusual."

"So, we might have a case?" Charmy asked excitedly.

"Maybe." Kaity said.

"Yeah-hoo!" Charmy yelled, flipping around in the air.

"Well, let's go see who's going up next." Snow said. The six jogged to the restaurant and arrived with a few seconds to spare.

OoOoO

Eggman appeared on the screen again, not looking so cocky this time.

"The winner of the Fly Division; Waffle the Fox, and her team, Team Gracious will go on to the final round." Eggman said blandly. The response wasn't as bland. The fighters, like before, congratulated Waffle and chanted her name, the first to stop Eggman from his plan. "Now, Speed leaders will go. Every speed leader, go through that blue door over there." He pointed across from the yellow door where the Fly formation leaders went. Eggman clicked off the screen. Espio and Kaity followed through the door and waited to be called on.

OoOoO

Espio was given number 23 and Kaity number 20. The chart was made, but nether chameleon went to look.

"So everyone else is gonna look around." Kaity said.

"Yep." Espio replied.

"Think they'll find anything?"

"Maybe, but if there really is something going on here, then they'll have to be careful."

"Yeah...Which match are you in?"

"I'm in the fourth match. You?"

"Second."

Espio nodded and announcements for the Speed Division came over the loudspeaker.

Yep, something else is going on for sure.
