Chapter 4:Sonic vs. Reptile
Foreword: Our Heroes had made it to the island were the Mortal Kombat tournament is being held. Upon their arrival, they got their first glimpse of how the tournament was to be played out, and it wasn't very pretty. Worst of all, Arcadia Sonic has the first match...........................
Morning came to the island. Everyone got up to see that Sasami and Brock were making breakfast. "Uh, are you sure you checked the food to make sure it's not poisoned?" Cage asked. "Don't worry," Brock said, pulling a refrigerator from his backpack, "I always bring my portable fridge were ever I go." "Well are ready for your fight, bro?" Arcadia Tails asked. "Oh, Yeah!" Arcadia Sonic said. "You have to be careful, Sonic, Outworlders will do anything to win." Anthony warned. "Don't worry, I'll keep my eyes open." Sonic said reassuringly.
Later, everyone was gathered around the arena were the first match was being held. It was squared shaped with sand in the middle and four columns on each corner. Shang and Quan were sitting in chairs on a platform. Arcadia Sonic was doing some stretches, while waiting for his opponent. Little did he or any of the Arcadians know that an invisible creature was crawling down one of the columns. "Yessh, where's my opponent?" Sonic asked impatiently, not realizing the invisible creature was behind him. Anthony was looking around to see if Sonic's opponent was around, but then he caught a slight glimpse of the creature, and his eyes widened. "SONIC, LOOK OUT BEHIND YOU!" he yelled. "BEGIN!" Shang said.

Sonic turned around to see a lizard-like being materializing behind him and knocking him to the ground. This creature was called Reptile. Sonic then got up on to his feet. A little dazed, but alright. "Alright, lizard-breath, come on!" Sonic growled. He began to charge at Reptile at top speed, but Reptile went invisible right before Sonic was about to lay a punch. Sonic looked around to see where the evil lizard went, when suddenly Reptile re-materialized on Sonic's left side and punched him in the face. This continued through out the match. "Man, this isn't fair!" Knuckles yelled. "I agree, Reptile keeps disappearing before Sonic can lay a punch, and reappears to ambush Sonic." Sally said. "That's how Reptile works," Kung Lao said, "he sneaks up to his opponents, then attacks."
Sonic looked battered and bloodied. He knew that every time he would charge at Reptile, he would disappear and attack Sonic on his blind spot. Then Sonic noticed something. The sunlight. Reptile was manipulating the light to make himself invisible. But there was one flaw in this, Reptile's clear silhouette could be seen. A smile came up on Sonic's face. Immediately Sonic ran to where Reptile was and struck him. Reptile reappeared dazed from Sonic's punch, and then all of a sudden he was punched again and again. This time, Reptile was on his feet. The hedgehog hassss sssssseen through my disssssssappearing technique, it'ssssss ussssselessssss againssssst him now. Reptile thought, I need to think of a another way! Then a smile came on to Reptile's face. Just as Sonic was about to hit Reptile again, Reptile reared his head back, and unleashed a spray of acid out of his mouth, right at Sonic's face!
Sonic stopped and kneeled in pain, screaming "My eyes! My eyes!" Reptile took the opportunity took kick Sonic in the gut, knocking him four feet from where he was. Sonic groggily got up, still rubbing his eyes. Then Reptile opened his mouth and let his tongue out like a snake. Anthony's eyes widen when he saw this and stuttered "Oh no..." Tails looked at him and asked "What is it, Anth?" Anthony gulped and said, "It's one of Reptile's fatalities. First, he'll launch his tongue at Sonic's head, then he'll retract it, decapitating Sonic," all of the Mobians gasped when they heard this, but Anthony wasn't finished yet, "and the worst part is.........he'll eat Sonic's head."
Then, all of a sudden, Reptile unleash his lethal tongue. Anthony knew that Sonic would lose his head in matter of moments. He needed to help Sonic and fast! Then the Gamemaster noticed Sonic was in front of where he was watching. Then he got an idea. "Sonic, over here!" he yelled. Sonic heard Anthony yell from behind him and turned around. That's when Reptile's tongue hit it's mark, the back of Sonic's head!
Immediately he withdrew his tongue, which now some blue spikes imbedded in it. He was all teary eyed and yelling "My tongue! My tongue!" Sonic could hear Reptile's screams of pain and prepared for a devastating spin attack. He immediately launched himself at Reptile's direction and hit him with such a great force, the evil lizard was knocked out of the arena, off the island, and into the sea. Shang had a disappointed look on his face, he raised and yelled "Winner: Sonic"
Sonic was on his knees, still rubbing his eyes. SEGASonic, Arcadia Tails, and Sally went to his side. "Don't worry, Sonic," Sally said to her boyfriend, "we'll help you." They carried him over to the sidelines, where Bookshire was waiting. "Bookshire, can you help him?" Tails asked. The old racoon sighed and said, "I'll see what I can do." Then Shang announced "The next match will be held in a different location. Fighters should get ready!"
Mega Man took a deep breath and said "Well I guess it's my turn...."
Next Chapter: It's Mega Man's turn now, and he will face Kano, who is a human. Mega Man was programed never to harm a human, and Kano takes advantage of this. Will the evil Black Dragon member win? And who is this Mavado?.................. Chapter 5: Mega Man vs. Kano
