Tension was building up. One warrior had defeated another in battle. The time had come to prove to the world that he was capable of being the best. It was Link's time to battle now, for the first time in a grand competition. He walked towards the ring. The fans went wild. He knew he couldn't let himself down, but he decided not to let them down as well.
Link: There sure are a lot of people watching this, and nothing will make them stop watching, either. So it looks like I'm just gonna have to go in and kick ass. It's a lot of pressure, but I just cannot fail. Pikachu awaits on the other side of my opponent.
Link entered the ring, and he was soon joined by a blue fighter with spikes down his back. He most certainly was not human, but with red Soaps, he sure acted like one.
Link: So you're Sonic.
Sonic: A new warrior, eh. Push the red button and choose an arena.
Link pushed the button, activating the Arena-o-Matic. It eventually stopped on an arena called LavaGiant.
Announcer: The Arena-o-Matic has selected LavaGiant. A battlefield from Unreal Tournament has been swapped over to us. Its format remains the same, two forts on opposite sides with a mountain range making a split between the two. Several pathways lead to the other fort and contain various weapons of destruction. Obviously, LavaGiant got its name from the molten lava surrounding the arena, and filling some crevices in the pathways.
Sonic stepped on a pad, and Link stepped on the other. in moments, they were teleported to LavaGiant.
Link (thinking): Now there is truly no looking back, now. It's time to put my nervousness aside and win this one.
Sonic: I'm interested in what newcomers can do, especially when their debut match is against someone as strong as I. With that said, show me your cool moves!
Sonic dashed towards Link. With that kind of speed, Link could barely detect him, as he was shoulder tackled into the red fort. Sonic quickly followed and went for a punch, but Link caught his arm and swung him against a wall and kneed him with force. Link leapt back and swung a boomerang at Sonic, but using his speed, he dashed around the fort and power punches Link into the sky. He jumped up and kicked Link onto a lower pathway through the mountain range.
Sonic dashed towards Link. They came in contact and unleashed a flurry of quick punches. Link drop kicked Sonic into the mountain range and unloaded quick punches to him. Rapid impacts caused pieces of the mountain to chip off. Sonic, realizing a cave-in could happen, knees Link in the stomach and uppercuts him into the sky. Sonic jumps after him, but Link pulls out his sword and slashes Sonic back to the ground.
Sonic: Not bad. Time to kick it up a notch. Chaos Control!
Sonic extended his arms and fired an energy blast at Link. He side-stepped left and fired an energy blast of his own at Sonic. The blast hit and Sonic was drilled through the mountain and ended up in the blue fort.
Link: Whoa, how did I do that? Wait, I could feel a similarity between that blast and of the Charged Particle Cannon.
All of a sudden, Link finds a blue vortex surrounding him. The vortex powerfully scratched Link all over and soon shot Link into the air with force. Link then spots Sonic manipulating energy from the top of the blue fort.
Sonic: I guess he liked my Sonic Wind. Just a little payback for blasting me through that mountain.
Link touched ground on the lowest pathway through the mountain. He finds a Rocket Launcher.
Link: This might come in handy, and it has a homing feature.
Link emerged from the mountain and leapt into the sky. He fired several rockets at Sonic, who fired energy shots at them. The rockets exploded when coming into contact with the energy. As smoke formed, Link fired another rocket. It flew through the smoke and caught Sonic off guard. The rocket hit Sonic and he flew sky high. After about 30 seconds, Sonic touched ground.
Sonic: You're good at using the level to help you. That only proves your weakness.
Link: You're only complaining because you're losing right now. If you had the upper hand, I bet you wouldn't be whining.
Sonic: Fine, since you put it that way. I will get the upper hand, and maybe I'll stop "whining" as you so put.
Sonic rolled into a ball and began to gather golden energy. As he finished, he launched himself and circled Link several times before appearing behind him. A gold ring surrounded Link and constricted him. In moments, the ring powerfully exploded.
Sonic: This game is made for the pros. If you can't shape up, I suggest you ship out!
The smoke settled to reveal Link, badly injured but still able to fight.
Sonic: What the fuck? That was my finisher!
Link: Power of the Tri-force. It has its uses. Makes for a powerful shield. Luckily, thanks to the Genosaur, I now know how to manipulate energy, and be able to use such a technique.
Sonic: Fine, there is more than one way to skin a cat. I'll find some other way to beat you.
Link begam to power up.
Link: No, you will not. I intend on finishing you off right now!
Link charged towards Sonic and power punched him into the sky. Attempting to couple the power of the Tri-force and the power acquired from the Charged Particle Cannon, he cupped his hands. A warm glow covered Link
Link: Tell me how you like MY finisher! Tri-force Light!
Link fired his finisher, Tri-force Light, a powerful beam attack. Sonic finally recovered from the last attack, only to have the Tri-force Light collide with him. After a huge explosion, Sonic fell to the ground motionless.
Link: Sometimes, the newest ones can be some of the best.
At that moment, both Link and the fallen Sonic were teleported back to the ring.
Announcer: An interesting debut match. Link, you have made your mark in The Arena. How does it feel.
Link: Whether it's The Arena, or it's a private fight, I guess it feels good to win your fight. No matter which fight it is...
Announcer: What were your thoughts on going into your first ever match?
Link: Hell, I was nervous but I just had to say to myself 'fuck it' and just go in and fight.
With that said, Link left the ring. He smiled, knowing that his next opponent was Pikachu. With a job well done, he set out backstage.
The time is drawing ever closer. Soon, two titans will collide. Stick with us and find out the rest of the story.
