Chapter 4: The Last Four Matches of Bout 1

After everyone settled down after their lunch, it was about time to prepare for the final four matches for Bout 1: Daffy vs. Tails, Cream vs. Yaarp, Lexi Bunny vs. Voldo, and Armor King vs. Sylvester. Teeko went back into his balcony with Lawrence and announced the next match.

"Daffy and Tails, please step into the ring to begin your match!" He announced. Daffy groaned with annoyance as he stomped into the ring, having the calm, 8-year-old Tails following behind him. When they got into positions, Teeko beeped in.

"Are you two ready?" He asked. Daffy stood his ground while Tails nodded. "BEGIN!"

Tails began to hover for a moment and attempt to ram Daffy in his stomach, but Daffy reacted quickly and pulled out a giant mallet from behind him and thwacked the small fox straight on his head, knocking him out. The black duck smiled with satisfaction as he looked down at the unconcious fox while he placed his mallet back to where it came from.

"Too easthy! Way too easthy!" He said to himself. Seconds later, Tails opened his eyes and smiled. Daffy noticed and gulped.

"Uh, oh." The duck swore before Tails unexpectedly tripped him up with one of his tails, causing him to fall flat on his back on the hard ground.

"HA! Easy for you to say!" Tails scorned to the duck, who slowly got up, rubbing his head in the process.

"Why you little…!" Daffy swore as he dove for the fox and they were now a puff of smoke, having exclamation marks, fists, Tails' tails, and punching sounds extruding from it. Teeko cringed at every punch while Lawrence just landed on the windowsill and watched with annoyance, shaking his head.

Back on the arena…

After almost 15 minutes of the fighting cloud, it finally disappeared. The victor that appeared was miraculously Tails, having the knocked out Daffy, with stars and tweety birds swirling around his noggin, at his feet. The crowd of dragons cheered as well as the Sega circle in the lobby.

"I always knew that fox was good at something more than just conducting airplanes." Sonic said to himself as he applauded.

"The winner is amazingly Tails!" Teeko announced. "Congradulations!"

Later…

"Excellent, Tails." Teeko congradulated as he patted the double-tailed fox on the back. "Excellent match indeed."

"When it comes to an easy opponent like Daffy, it seems to be so easy, a caveman could beat him." Tails joked.

"YOU'RE NOT AFFILIATED WITH ME!" Daffy yelled from the background. Tails just sighed in annoyance as he ignored the angry duck and continued back to his circle. Cream was looking a little nervous when he sat down.

"What's wrong, Cream?" Sonic asked.

"Me and Yaarp's fight is next." She replied.

"So?"

"I really don't like the way he chuckled after Teeko said that he's gonna make our battle interesting."

"I'm sure it's just a small change, since Yaarp can't really fight." Knuckles encouraged. Cream nodded.

"I guess. I'll never know until I give it a try."

Later…

Cream and Yaarp were comfronted by Teeko. They were standing right at his feet.

"Since Yaarp isn't really designed to fight, I figured I'd make this battle interesting." Teeko told them.

"And how will you do it?" Cream asked. Yaarp just sat there and listened with curiosity.

"Do you two know how to control robots?"

"Yeah."

"Well, that's how we'll do it. I happened to get two very expensive, but outstanding giant robots. One is called the Malakyte X-37 and the other is called Nova Foxx XT. Their weapons shall be very useful to the battle's advantage. They also include blades for close combat. Any questions?"

"Naga!" Yaarp exclaimed. "Meega ready!"

Later…

Once Yaarp and Cream were out in the arena, the two huge, but well-built robots were already set out and ready. Yaarp and Cream looked at each other and nodded with determination as they went to their robots and jumped in. They started up immedietely.

"Are you two ready?" Teeko asked. Cream spoke from the PA of her robot.

"Are you absolutely sure about this whole robot thing?" Cream asked back. "It's cool and all, but I'm just checking."

"Trust me, Cream. You'll be fine… until you explode."

Cream gulped. "Okay. I'm ready."

"BEGIN!"

Yaarp began to fire his machine gun as he walked foreward. Cream used her rockets to move out of the way and fire her arm-mounted plasma cannon, which made a huge explosion when it collided at Yaarp. It made him slide back a little and he checked his AP(Armor Power). It said "8990". He was still in good health. As for Cream's AP, it was "9990" even. Yaarp hasn't touched her yet. He tried firing his machine gun. As the bullets was hitting Cream, her AP counted down rapidly. Then, an alarm rang.

"OH, NO!" Cream screamed. "I'm getting overheated!"

She counter-attacked by jetting backwards and firing her large rockets, which took out almost 1000 of Yaarp's AP at every hit. He was getting angry and prepared to target his eight-rocket shooter. When all of his rockets were locked on, he fired. A stream of rockets headed towards Cream and all eight of them slammed into her with a hard collision. She slowed down, due to the impact and checked her AP. It said "469". Yaarp's was "674". They were just close to making a victory. They made it competetive by firing at the same time. Cream kneeled down and fired her shoulder-mounted chain gun while Yaarp locked on with his other two-rocket shooter. It setted off a huge explosion, puzzling the crowd and the contestants as well as Teeko and Lawrence.

"My God!" Sonic swore. "Please be okay, Cream."

"C'mon, cousin." Stitch prayed to himself.

Back on the arena…

The smoke from the explosion cleared. It revealed Yaarp's robot kneeled down and shut down, spewing smoke in the process. Cream was still standing. The crowd finally cheered, seeing that Cream has won this battle.

"The winner is Cream the Rabbit! Congradulations!" Teeko announced. Cream leaped out of her robot and cheered along with everybody. Yaarp just clapped as he got out.

"Great fight, Cream." Yaarp congradulated. Cream blushed.

"Shucks. You did well yourself." She replied as she escorted the exhausted experiment back into the lobby. Teeko patted Cream on her head as she walked past him.

"Excellent battle, you two." He said to them. "That was the most spectacular battle ever!"

"Thanks." Cream and Yaarp replied.

"Now, our next battle is Lexi Bunny versus Voldo. Step into the ring to begin the match."

"Insanity is about to start." Lexi muttered as she walked into the ring. Voldo followed awkwardly. As soon as they arrived, Teeko beeped in.

"Ready?" He announced. Lexi nodded boringly. "BEGIN!"

Voldo ran up to Lexi as he attempted to scratch her with his pair of katars. Lexi reflexed quickly and he barely touched her. When Voldo was dazed, Lexi had her chance to punch him across the face. He fell over as she did so. Voldo got back up slowly and scratched her across her face hard, making her bleed. She held her wound hard as she tried to ignored the pain and kick him in his stomach. Voldo cringed as he held his abdomen. While he did so, Lexi made her final blow by holding him in a headlock and fiercely twisted his head hard, breaking his neck along with his spine. The crowd geered as they saw this. As for Teeko, he was enjoying this.

"Ooooh! Talk about fierce." He said to Lawrence. "Looks like Voldo has been disqualified. He's dead."

"I guess Lexi didn't really like Voldo at all." Lawrence replied.

After that, Lexi walked in, dragging the dead Voldo by his foot.

"That was the deadliest match I've ever seen! Congradulations, Lexi!" Teeko said to her.

"He was easier than fighting that bulldog from last week." She replied.

"You got Voldo disqualified."

"I actually… killed him, huh?"

"Yep."

"Well, good for me."

Later…

"'Well, good for me.' Bleah!" Sylvester scoffed at Lexi. "Sthome match you pulled. I bet Armor King and I can put on an even better match."

"Oh, really?" Lexi asked. Sylvester nodded. "How much?"

"10 dollarsth."

"You're on."

"Armor King and Sylvester, please report to the arena to begin the final match of bout 1." Teeko announced. Sylvester stood up while Armor King was heading towards the ring.

"If this match is to my satisfaction, then I get the money. Deal?" Lexi reminded. Sylvester took her hand and shook it vigoriously.

"Deal." He replied as he headed to the ring. Armor King was ready as he came out.

"Ready?" Teeko announced. "BEGIN!"

Sylvester screamed as he ran towards Armor King, but he reflexed by doing a headlock on the cat, nearly choking him.

"Ahhhh!" Sylvester screamed. "Le… t g… g… go of mmmmmeeeee!"

Armor King just chuckled as he picked up Sylvester and slammed his head towards the ground. Then, arched backwards and slammed him on his back. Then, just when he was about to slam him again, Sylvester finally managed to bite Armor King's hand hard. He yelled as he quickly let go of the black and white cat and held his hand tight. When he looked up from his hand, Sylvester was gone. He walked around the arena, searching for him. When he stopped, Sylvester leaped from out of nowhere and pounded the wrestler on his back.

"Ha, ha! Any lastht wordsth?" Sylvester asked cooly. Armor King smirked. This made Sylvester gulp. "Uh, oh."

Armor King strangled the cat as he got up. Then, swirled him around and around like a lasso for 10 seconds, then slammed him even harder towards the ground. That knocked him out.

"The winner of this match is Armor King! Congradulations!" Teeko announced, then turned to look at Lexi from his position. "So, was this battle perfect to your satisfaction?"

"Actually, it was." Lexi replied.

Armor King heard her and smiled in agreement as he walked by her, plopping the unconcious Sylvester beside her. She dug into his fur pocket and pulled out his 10 dollar bill.

"Thank you." She said sarcastically as she stuffed the bill in her pocket. Teeko chuckled.

"Marvelous! Just marvelous! I wanted Voldo out of this competition anyway." He said to Lawrence.

"So did I, sir." The small white bat agreed. "Well, we have our next four winners: Tails, Cream, Lexi Bunny, and Armor King. Shall we give out contenders a recap of the matches for bout 2?"

"Yes. Post it on the bulletin board. I'll announce the next bout later."

"Yes, sir."

So, Lawrence picked up his bout 2 roster, flew up to the board, pinned it. And to you readers, here's the recap for bout 2:
