A Smashing Race
(I own nothing here, once again)
Meanwhile the battle betwen Falcon and Silvie the Warrior had come to an end. It had been very close, but in the end Silvie had prevailed . Still he was quite exhausted from the confrontation, and barely able to contain the dark spirit inside his necklace.
'Geez, I hadn't expected Douglas to be so strong, now I'll have to rest for awhile.' Silvie thought as he limped to his side of the sidelines.
On the Smasher's side, Capt. Falcon had rejoined Liam the Lucario, Bowser, and Olimar in their own little corner.
"Well that was a good effort out there Falcon, I can't say I'm not impressed." The Lucario started, patting his wounded ally's shulder.
"Whatever Liam." C. Falcon grumbled angrily. "I just want this stupid tournament over with. How many matches are left?"
This time Neri spoke up. "Just two. Koyoshi vs Sonic, and then Pikana and Pikachu. After that I think we're all done...Too bad I don't get to fight."
"Well, we'd hate to beat up a little kid anyway." Bowser commented. The Ice climbers, Ness, Lucas, Red, Young Link, Toon Link and Pit all looked at him. ""Er, a weak little kid."
"Weak! I helped Toony beat Ganondorf once, and your calling me weak?" The girl ranted. "You stupid overgrown turtle!"
"Turtle? I'm a Koopa you brat, remember it!" Bowser growled menacingly, showing off everyone of his sharp, pearly fangs. Neri only held his gaze until Silvie of Tellius started to speak up again.
"Alright folks, that was an exciting battle, but now it's time for our next match. Koyoshi and Sonic The Hedgehog, will you please come forward?"
As soon as the words left his mouth, there was a blaze of blue light as well as strong gust of wind which signaled that the Blue Blur had just entered the ring.
The on-lookers looked toward the right where Koyoshi Miozumi could be seen walking calmly out to the center as if she did this everyday.
"Oh wow! Is it go time already?" Ko asked looking excited.
Sonic only gave his cheesy, (yes I think it's fair to say that Sonis has a cheesy smirk) smile.
There was a loud boom and the entire fighting ring transform in to a large oval shaped race-way (no not the Falcon Grand Prix).
"Will the particapants please approuch the white line?" Silive of Tellius asked.
Sonic was there in a flash while Koyoshi took her time.
"This match up will be a little diffirent. Since both fighters deal in speed, this match will be conducted as a race. The rules are simple, you go around the track three times. You are allowed to use you moves to help reach the finish line first." Silive explained.
"Sounds easy! Best of luck to you Sonic!" Koyoshi said, holding out her hand.
"You too!" Sonic replied shaking it with his own gloved hand.
"Racers! Take your mark! On three...Two...One...GO!" Silive shooting off a gun.
Instantly the two fighters were off, running the track as fast as they could.
Despite the incredible speed both of them possessed, the racetrack was very long, it would take five minutes for them to make even one lap with Sonic's speed.
To the Hedgehog's surprise Koyoshi was keeping up with him pretty well. "Your pretty fast huh?" Sonic asked as he faced her, going at his casual speed.
Koyoshi only smirked. "This is nothing! Watch this!"
And suddenly the Blue Blur found himself being over taken by the fox-eared girl. She moving so fast the the pavment behind her was on fire, literally. This know as Koyoshi's Fire Step.
Sonic laughed, "Nice move! But check this out!" and Sonic started glowing bright blue, signaling that he just turned on the Light Speed Dash. (If you've ever played Sonic Adventures then you should remember this move)
The two racers continued up the track until they saw that a crate had fallen into their path.
Koyshi saw this and slamed into the crate head-on sending the items flying ahead.
Quickly, Sonic noticed a Ray Gun directly before him feet and made plans to grab it immediately, whilst a Bunny Hood had fallen before Koyoshi's path.
"Oh great a Bunny Hood." She said sarcastically. "I hate those things."
Apparently she wasn't aware of the ability it gave the wearer. He would've been smart to just take it and not tell her a thing, but that wasn't his style.
"
It'll make the race easier, it does increase speed." Sonic said pointing at it.
"Really? Well no thanks, I can win with my own speed." She told him, now it was a little more than a yard away. "You want it?"
"Not if you don't. But this is still a fight so..."
But before he could make a grab for it, Koyoshi sent a rainbow-colored fire ball at it, burning it to ashes.
Then the fox girl reached out for a beam sword as sonic obtained the Ray Gun. Quickly, she began to slash and swipe at Sonic with her blade, Roc's Wing, as well as the Beam sword.
While Sonic knew a little about swordplay from his adventure with the Black Knight, he was also versed with firearms after his friend and rival Shadow taught him how to utilize them. As he evaded several strikes sent his way by Koyoshi, Sonic tried to put some distance between himself and the foxy girl.
As he ran forward, he crossed the finish line first, leaving him in the lead and two laps to be completed. Turning around and facing Koyoshi, Sonic let off three shots. The non-smasher managed to dodge two, but the third hit her in the arm and knocked her backwards, tumbling.
"Grr, I'll get you Sonic!" The cerulean eyed girl cried out, miffed at her injury. Reactivating the Fire step Koyoshi put on a new burst of speed. Sonic was still in the lead by a great margin, and gave no signs of letting up.
Still, Koyoshi tried harder to catch up, sprinting and going at more than 350 mph. Sonic was going at a steady 320, but was conserving his energy.
Shortly though, Koyoshi was going slowly, almost entirely out of energy. Mercifully though, a Smash ball floated by her, of course it was out of the reach of her blades, and going at a high speed. Thinking quickly, She threw the laser blade in her hand at the prismatic orb of light. Within a second it burst from extreme force, filling the half fox-spirit with untold amounts of might.
Accessing it's power, Koyoshi was swallowed by a blue inferno, covering her body and growing larger. Sonic watched in surprise. The fire advanced at the same pace as Koyoshi, but eventually the blue blaze moved faster, catching up with the blue blur. Then, koyoshi called out the name of the move.
"Soulflame!"
Within a moment of being less than 1000 yards away from the legendary hedgehog, the fire dispersed to reveal a large, twin tailed fox with copper colored fur and eyes as blue as the hottest flame in existence, in her mouth was Koyoshi's blade. Somehow Sonic was reminded of his friend Tails by his opponent's transformation, but didn't make the joke.
Instead he fired off all twelve remaining shots from the gun and let is go. Of course the green energy beams missed their mark.
'Oh man, she's catching up!' Sonic realized as the blade wielding vulpine drew nearer. Within a moment she was right on him and she leapt forward, somehow slicing him with her sword. The Feather shaped weapon also summoned a great gale, which blew the hedgehog back a fair distance. Allowing Koyoshi to claim the second lap.
With her strike finished, Koyoshi returned to normal. and stopped momentarily to regain her bearings.
"Heh, how did you like that one?" The fox-woman questioned to sonic, momentarily forgetting about the race in her triumph. Sonic managed to rise and called out back to her.
"Hm, that was nice, but it's not enough." Once again Sonic ran forth, and so did Koyoshi, trying to maintain her lead.
Sadly, her tiredness made it difficut, but Sonic was struggling just to keep up. He did make his way besides the fiery footed female though, but then they were neck and neck.
A few minutes passed before the finish line came into view, but before either racer could get close, a body fell from seemingly nowhere, with a note attached.
Both stopped and there were murmurs from the crowd. Being up close, Koyoshi and Sonic saw that it was Guy.
"What the-?" sonic shouted, "He's dead."
Inspecting the note, Koyoshi read it aloud: "Death shall come to all who oppose us."
