More artistic licence now: I'm fully recovered! Amazing what you can do in a fanfic, isn't it? Alright, to the final. I've put my suit back on, and entered. Sonic took off his suit and gave both it and the mic to me.
"And now, the moment you've not been waiting for, the final is... erm... finally here!"
The camera cut to a split-screen view of Amy and Knuckles. "Playing in red, Amy and Knuckles!" Amy started dancing around, but quickly stopped when she noticed Knuckles was focusing hard on the task at hand.
The camera cut to a similar screen, this time Sonic and Tails. "And playing in blue, Sonic and Tails!" No dancing, no frills, kinda boring actually.
"Everybody ready?" I got thumbs-up from everybody, and got out of the way.
"Three..." Sonic revved up his spin attack, aiming at Knuckles. Tails started warming up his tails, Knuckles just stood there smirking, and Amy made for the stairs as usual.
"Two..." The camera cut to the usual overhead view.
"One..." Sonic released, spinning towards Knuckles, who quickly jumped out of the way as I said "Go!" Amy picked up her favourite rock and threw it at Tails. But Tails was long gone, he'd taken off.
The final was underway.
Tails headed towards Sonic and Knuckles who were having a fist-fight, picking up two power stones on the way. Amy was waiting for her rock to respawn, while Sonic had backed Knuckles up against the wall. Knuckles put his hand out and spun the slot machine reels, but Tails stopped them. Sonic ducked as Tails flew half way back across the arena, turned round, and used all his momentum to drive himself into Knuckles fists-first. Amy decided she had to act.
She jumped down and ran around the floor, then climbed up the pole. For a moment she stayed there motionless, but only for a moment. In a dazzling display of skill (or rather lack thereof) she plummeted head-first into the ground. That took her energy bar down to zero, so I threw in a timer. Knuckles took the fight completely across the room so it was now Sonic and Tails up against a wall. He ran for the middle, and hit Amy's button.
Amy didn't get up. In fact, she yelled "Knuckles, you missed!" Knuckles knew he hadn't, and twigged what Amy was doing. Fortunately, Sonic and Tails didn't notice the clock had stopped counting down. Knux walked back to the centre, and the blues came running. When they were close enough, Knuckles yelled "Now!" and suddenly Amy sprang up, catching Sonic and Tails off guard. They were both on the floor, and Amy held them there.
Knuckles knew that he had to find a weapon quickly as Amy could only hold those two down for so long. He checked all the treasure chests and finished up with two power stones, three leg traps, a scooter and a golfing umbrella. None of these were good enough: he had to go to the slot machine.
Glove, glove, bomb. Shield, bomb, gun. He didn't get anything until his sixth go: gun, gun, gun. He opened the hatch to grab his reward, and found instead that there was a gun pointing right at him - firing, in fact. His energy went down to zero, so I threw in a timer. Knuckles was a good boy and lay down next to it, but not before throwing his two power stones near a third and drawing Amy's attention.
Amy grabbed all three, releasing Sonic and Tails. Super Amy was still a coward, but a strong coward at that. She got to Knuckles, but half a second too late. Her only option left was to go with a power fusion (special move to you and me) without the faintest idea what it would do.
Fortunately, not many people can dodge thirty homing missiles, not even Sonic. Amy did it again at Tails, and both were knocked down. Amy had single-handedly won the championship. She morphed back to her old self, totally disorientated, not remembering winning. She was shocked to find Sonic and Tails out cold on the floor with timers running down. All she had to do was wait for four... three... two... one... she'd won!
"Well," I said into the mic as I walked in, "not quite who I expected to win, but nevertheless our champion is Amy Rose!" This surprised her even more, but her concern shifted quickly towards Knuckles.
"Knuckles, are you alright?" she asked.
"Yeah, fine. Nice work!" he replied.
"How did this happen?" she asked, still confused.
"Super Amy did it," I replied. "You got three stones and morphed. Weird when you come to, isn't it?"
"Amy Rose, ladies and gentlemen!" hordes of applause as Amy's theme tune played - I grimaced and left.
