A video showing Tails, Zoey, Sticks, Knuckles, Cubot and Orbot are watching the Rest of Worlds qualifiers and the moment Sonic showed up, they all went nuts, including Sticks hugging Orbot and Cubot. "Hey Sticks, looks like you made new friends!" Said Tails. Sticks let go of Orbot and Cubot. "Tell anyone about this, I'll dismantle you." She threatened. Other clips followed, including one featuring the entire Star Fox crew going nuts even though they knew it was going to happen. Another clip showed a sports bar in the Mushroom Kingdom, where the moment Sonic appeared, a lot of the bar patrons started a beer shower, with one of them scream like crazy. After a mashup of many clips shown, the last one goes back to Tails showing Shadow, having a look of disbelief on his face, all saying but two words. "Kill Me."
"That moment when Sonic entered the Super Smash Brothers qualifiers had the whole world go nuts, not just on planet Mobius, but other planets as well." Chun Li reported. "Last Night was not just a return from a legend, but a feel-good story that we all need right now." "And I was shocked as well because he didn't tell anyone, including me." Rouge said back. "Feeling left out was a little unsettling, but I actually enjoyed Sonic's epic return. "Same here." Chun Li said back. "When we come back, we show you how the rest of qualifying is turning out, including tomorrow's World of Fighters Path 1."
The tv turns off in the hotel room which Sonic and Co are staying, but only Amy, Aurora, and Eggman were in the room, watching the report, with Aurora sleeping. "I'm amazed how many people saw this match." Said an impressed Amy. "Well, Sonic's return was a big surprise, but he shouldn't let that get into his head." Eggman answered back, and he noticed someone wasn't here with them. "Speaking of which, where is Sonic?" He asked Amy. "He said that Pac-Man invited him to a bar and that he was also sending tickets to people back home." "I'm a little worried if Sonic drinks." Said Eggman. "I'm am too, but he rarely drinks." Amy said to Eggman.
"Trust me, I thought when he was going through that alcoholic stage, but he didn't touch one drop because he told me why would I risk losing everything if I let alcohol take me over? I don't care how much pain I'm in, I will not let our child see me as a drunk wasting away and me leaving him." "Wow." Eggman couldn't believe that Sonic said that. "Besides, the only thing he drinks is Lon Lon Milk." Amy said. "And believe it or not, he only drinks one once a month, and the only time he drank more then one was when The Patriots beat the Rams." "Uh, that game was horrible." Eggman feeling the same way. "Anyway, why did you turn off the tv when they were about to report on the World of Fighters stage?" Amy curiously asked. "No reason!" Eggman hastily said. "I'm going to bed!" He said as he exited the room and went to his. Amy turns on the tv and a female fighter appeared. "Oh, that's your girlfriend." Amy was impressed on why Eggman left. "Your secret is safe with me."
"I will send you guys tickets, and I'm serious, you guys need to only pack what you need and please don't tell Shadow, he would love nothing more but to see me fail." Sonic said to Tails. "Don't worry, plus I think the last thing Shadow wants to see is you making it to the final four." Tails said back to Sonic. "So it's just you, Knuckles, Orbot and Cubot?" "Yep, Zoey has to work but she would have loved to come, she is a huge fan of Smash Brothers." Tails told Sonic. "Alright, see you guys tomorrow morning at the free breakfast buffet." He ends the call and sends the tickets to his friends. "Let's hope I don't get into trouble." He said as he walks into the parking lot of the Level Up Bar.
"Sonic, didn't think you were going to make it!" Said a surprised Pac-Man, who is joined by his wife Mrs. Pac-Man. "Is that Mrs. Pac-Man, I haven't seen you in a long time." Sonic kissed the Lady Pac's hand. "My, a gentleman, makes up for the fact you beat my husband." She said with a death stare, causing Sonic to panic. "It was a just a competition and it needed to be won-" Mrs Pac-Man started laughing. "I'm joking, it was a good match." She kisses Sonic on the check. "Great to have you back, Blue Devil." She said with a wink and she enters the bar. "Wow, is she really happy to see me?" He asked Pac. "Are you kidding me? She greets many people who she hasn't seen in long time that way. Not all the time but in your case it's different." He told Sonic. "Hey, are you still mad at losing?" Sonic asked about earlier tonight. "Nah, I was unprepared, plus I'm not out yet, I still got Path 2." Pac-Man told him without any hatred for the Hedgehog.
"So, you know why I invited you here?" Pac-Man asked. "Let me guess, you own the place?" Sonic joked. "Actually, I do!" Pac-Man said. "For real?" A shocked Sonic couldn't believe that was true. "But no, it's because many of the competitors want to see you and some old friends that missed you." Pac-Man explained to him why he invited him. "When did you guys decide to open a bar? Sonic asked. "Well, it's a long story but I'll give you the short version. Because of the new qualifying groups, me and the Mrs. wanted to make a bar that welcomed fighters and its fans from around the world, along with bringing many of the fighters world's cuisine, but we didn't want to bring fancy in this place so we made it a little bit rough, and a little bit nice, and still get a grade A from the Health Inspectors." Pac explained the bar story. "Even though you didn't fully explain; do you guys have Lon Lon Milk?" Sonic asked. Pac-Man began laughing. "Waka, Waka, Waka, Waka! Oh, yeah we have that." "Sweet." A happy Sonic said. Both went into the bar, unaware that Cloud is entering as well.
