The World's Strongest

By: supersgoku56

Part 10: The Tournament Begins!

Location: Robotropilis (Outside the Auditorium)

Time: 10:10 a.m.

The gang was surprised to find a familiar hedgehog standing about a few feet from them. His dark fur, blood red eyes, his superpowered rollarblade shoes, and that evil glare. Sonic felt that he was looking at a ghost. But for some reason he was alive again.

"Shadow…is that really you?" Sonic said.

"Yes Sonic." Shadow replied. "I am alive once again. And this time I will succeed in my mission this time."

"Huh? What mission are you talking about!" Sonic said to Shadow. Shadow just glared back at Sonic with an evil smile forming on his face.

"I'm going to participate in this tournament, and beat you all!"

"You can't be serious?" Sonic said. "Why are you going to participate in this tournament!"

"I have my reasons." Shadow said with a cold voice. "But I have no time for you. I have a tournament to win." Shadow turned around and slowly left them alone.

"Now who in the hell was that?" said Krillin.

Sonic turned to the Z Fighters ready to explain them. "Shadow is someone who we fought along time ago when Robotnik was going to use the ARK, a military weapon that he would use to destroy all life on Mobius."

The Z Fighters continued to listen.

"Shadow is a code name for Super-Hedgehog Advanced Destruction Organic Weapon. Operation S.H.A.D.O.W was developed by a top secret government organization named GUN, who would use Shadow for a biological weapon. But one day Shadow escaped and some how managed to join up with Robotnik, and helped him in the ARK project."

"Bah…So what! That pathetic black hedgehog is nothing compared to the power of a saiyan." Vegeta said with a sour voice.

"I wouldn't talk Vegeta." Sonic said. "Shadow is really powerful. He can probably take you down if he wanted to."

"What was that RODENT!"

"WANT TO START A FIGHT RIGHT NOW!"

"Sonic! Vegeta! Enough!"

Sally stood between them. "We can't be fighting each other right now. What we need to do is just find out what Robotnik's plan about this tournament."

Sonic and Vegeta looked at each other with angry looks and turned away from each other with a 'Humph' from each of them. They all walked inside the auditorium building and were ready for the registration.

Location: Robotropilis' Auditorium Building (Worrier Square)

Time: 10:35 a.m.

The gang entered the crowd of many Mobians and robots who crowded around the two familiar faces toward the Freedom Fighters, Robotnik and Snively.

"Welcome all fellow fighters. I welcome you to the first ever World Martial Arts Tournament!" Robotnik stated as all the Mobians continued to listen to the evil dictator's words. "Today you all will participate in the Qualification Ceremony, in which you will test your strength on my new invention, The Punching Meter!"

Snively walked behind Robotnik and uncovered the machine. It was a machine that had a soft cushioning pad up infront and an electronic meter above the pad.

"Now we shall start off with the rodent…Sonic the Hedgehog!" said Robotnik.

"Sonic, be careful. I feel Robotnik is up to something." said Tails from behind.

"Don't worry lil bro. I'll make sure that Ro-butt-nik isn't pulling any tricks." said Sonic as he walked up to the Punching Meter.

Robotnik watched Sonic closely as their eyes locked on one another. This was the first time that Sonic and Robotnik had ever been very close to each other, but Sonic wasn't going to take any chances. He came up to the Punching Meter and swiftly gave it a quick punch to the pad as the meter read…

"202."

The whole crowd was surprised at Sonic's strength as they cheered for him. Goku simply smiled. 'I guess those training lessons surly pad off.'

Sonic gave Robotnik a quick look, smiled, and walked off.

"Grrrr…blasted hedgehog! I never knew he was that strong." Robotnik said to himself. "No matter. I'm sure that someone will be able to take him down. Next competitor will be the overlander!"

"Well that's me!" said Goku as he walked up to the meter and simply gave it a quick punch…

"230."

The crowd was speechless.

"Well that's good enough." said Goku. He walked down as the others had their chance at the Punching Meter.

Krillin…."190."

Piccilo…"245."

Gohan…"234."

Bunnie…"178."

Sally…"199."

Tails…"186."

Knuckles…"210."

Then came Mecha Knuckles, Metal Sonic, and Shadow.

Mecha Knuckles…"230."

Metal Sonic…"235."

Shadow…"250."

Finally Vegeta came up to the Punching Meter. He simply said, "Stand aside!" as he pulled back his fist and hit the meter with full force that it was blown apart as it flew back and hit a wall. The crowd stood in silence and Robotnik and Snively watched with bulging eyes, as Vegeta walked back to the group.

"Oh man…Vegeta you know you should keep a low profile." Goku said.

"Humph…Like I care of keeping a low profile from these &%*(^(!" said Vegeta

"Oh man this is going to be a long day…" Sonic said as they all left toward the Rest Area for the tournament to begin.
