OMG I AM SSSOOOO SORRY FOR NOT UPDATING! I mean it's summer, my best friend was down, and I can't write a fight scene! Well, thanks everyone for the support through your reviews here's the next chappy you've waited so long for. Here's the disclaimer!

Disclaimer- I don't own any Sonic characters except MJ, Chibi Star, and Inferno. Kilala belongs to my friend Jena whose house is freaking awesome, Maya belongs to Alyson who I haven't seen all summer, and Tangy belongs to my friend Kathleen who's coming back on the 22!


"5 Years Without You…"
By MJ the Seal
Chapter 13
Inferno vs. Puppet Tails!

The circus tent was silent. Team Metal slowly turned to face their opponents and Shadow did the same.
"Well, let's get this over with." Metal Sonic stated as he cracked his metal knuckles. The audience began to murmur with wonder on what the heck was going on, and whether the ring man should be sent to the hospital or not. Metal Sonic was just about to charge at Shadow when…
"WWAAIIITTT JUST ONE SECOND!" Metal Sonic skidded to a stop before he completely pummeled the idiot kid in front of him. It was a small leopard boy wearing a blue shirt, kaki shorts, and blue shoes. Is fur was a dark brown and he appeared to be about five.

"What do you want kid?" Metal Sonic asked while giving the kid a death glare. It was obvious Metal Sonic wasn't in the mood for idiot kids trying to stop his fight. The kid took one look at him and took a small step back before continuing.

"You can't just start a fight! You need to have like, an arena or something to fight in like those wrestler guys on TV! There's supposed to be 1 on 1 match ups so the audience can actually follow what's going on a-" the leopard boy was cut short when Puppet Tails punched him in the stomach sending him flying across the ground.

"Nobody tells the boss what to do except Dr. Eggman you little punk!" the demented puppet version of Tails threatened. "This isn't Dragonball Z or something you know!" He was about to punch the kid again when Metal Sonic grabbed his shoulder and he looked up.

"Hold on Puppet Tails the kid's got a point, even if he is an idiot." He said and Puppet Tails just gave him a look that clearly said "Uh…what?" "Okay here's what we'll do, Metal Knuckles can fight that hedgehog chick over there, I'll fight Shadow, and you can fight the red idiot."

"Aw c'mon boss why do I have to fight the idiot!" Puppet Tails complained as he crossed his arms and pouted. Suddenly, Inferno flew out of nowhere and punched Puppet Tails hard in the face.

"NO ONE CALLS ME AN IDIOT HERE GOT IT!" Inferno shouted with rage as he extended his claws and put them threateningly in front of Puppet Tails' face.

"Yeah sure," Puppet Tails quickly turned around and whacked Inferno across the face with his twin tails. "Whatever you say stupid."

Inferno flew up into the air and Puppet Tails followed him. He slashed his over-sized claws at the puppet's face, but Puppet Tails dodged it and tackled him with full force sending him flying across the tent. Inferno stretched out his red wings to slow himself down before crashing into the wall and began to descend into the air once again. Puppet Tails dashed at Inferno and tackled him to the ground, pinning down the lava red dragon. Puppet Tails stretched out his hand and placed it firmly on Inferno's forehead.

"Energy transfusion!" a blood red aura appeared around Puppet Tails' hand and Inferno felt all of the energy being drained from his body. It was being taken away like soda through a straw, and Inferno cried out in pain.

"My…e-energy…" Inferno mumbled as his energy continued to escape his body. Puppet Tails smirked and only pushed down farther on the dragon's forehead.

"Hahahaha…so you finally realize it." Puppet Tails chuckled. Inferno weakly lifted his hands up and attempted to push Puppet Tails arm off his forehead, but the energy in his arms was sucked up and they fell to his sides once again.

"That's right Puppet Tails, keep draining the energy out of him until he's nothing but a dried up body." Metal Sonic thought as he kept his eyes on the battle.

"Agh!" Inferno whimpered as he began to move his claws. "C'mon Inferno…you can't let some stupid Puppet beat you! Show him who's boss!" Inferno's shaking hand clenched into a fist.
"GET OFF!" Inferno kicked Puppet Tails in the stomach hard pushing the puppet robot off of him. Inferno slowly began to raise his back off the ground and Puppet Tails did the same.

"So…" Puppet Tails said as he fully got himself off the floor back on his feet. "I see you still have some energy left…That's impressive for someone as weak as you." Inferno growled with rage and got off of the floor. "Don't worry; I'll make your death short and sweet!" Puppet Tails began to run towards Inferno his twin tails spinning behind him like a blade to make him go faster. His fist began to glow red again and he launched a punch at Inferno's face. Inferno flew to the left and Puppet Tails threw another punch. Inferno ducked underneath it and Puppet Tails continued to through more punches at Inferno's face. Puppet Tails through a punch, but this one was faster than the rest and he managed to grab Inferno's wing.

"Oh no!" Inferno's eyes opened wide and he managed to fly up into the air, forcing Puppet Tails to release his grasp on his wing. "I can't keep this up much longer…" Puppet Tails flew up and faced the weak Inferno who was now slightly panting.

"What's the matter?" Puppet Tails asked. "Is that the best you can do?" Inferno flew forward and swung a kick at Puppet Tails, but the puppet flew out on the way and landed back onto the ground doing a flip in the process. Inferno flew back down to the floor panting even harder now, and his chest pounding.

"What do I do now? I can't even land a punch on him now…I need to think of something fast!" Inferno thought.

"C'mon Mr. Dragon you can do it!" Inferno turned around to see the leopard kid leaning against the wall. "You're not gonna let this puppet walk all over you are you? So stop fooling around, and KICK HIS BUTT!" Inferno gave a weak smile and an idea crossed his mind.

"Yes…that's it!" Inferno thought and he turned toward Puppet tails once again. Puppet Tails arm began glowing again and he charged toward the Leopard kid.

"I thought I told you to SHUT UP YOU LITTLE BRAT!" Inferno quickly flew over and managed to grab the leopard kid, making puppet Tails fist slam into the wall. Puppet Tail removed his fist revealing part of the wall having been blasted off. Inferno flew the kid back into the audience and dashed back to Puppet Tails.

"Take this!" Puppet Tails shouted and he threw more punches at Inferno who dodge them all with ease. Everyone in the audience watched intensely at the fight going on below, silence covering the tent like a thick blanket. Inferno stopped moving and dashed out of sight.

"W-what? Where'd he go?" Puppet Tails looked all around him looking for the red dragon. He looked below and Inferno kicked him hard in the butt sending him soaring into the air. "AAAAGGGHHH!" Puppet Tails cried and Inferno flew up after him until he was flying right behind the Puppet.

"That was for the kid…" Inferno twisted in the air keeping one hand on Puppet Tails back. He moved his foot and slammed it into Puppet Tails slamming him toward the ground. "This is for calling me an idiot!" Just as Puppet Tails was about to hit the ground Inferno slammed both of his feet as hard as he could into Puppet Tails, smashing him into the ground with a huge amount of force!

"AAAAAAAAAGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHH!" Puppet Tails screamed with pain as the recoil from slamming Puppet Tails into the ground sent Inferno flying across the tent.

"I…lost…" Puppet Tails mumbled as he passed out on the ground, dead. Inferno saw this and smiled to himself then turned toward the leopard kid.

"Hey…kid…" Inferno said his voice barely audible. The leopard boy looked over at him and Inferno gave him thumbs up. "Thanks…for the support." Inferno's arm fell and his eyes closed, as he passed out unconscious.

"Puppet Tails!" Metal Knuckles was about to run over to the lifeless puppet when Metal Sonic grabbed his shoulder.

"Stop. It's your turn to fight next," Metal Sonic stated.

"Yeah but what about-"

"Puppet Tails failed to win; Eggman would've destroyed him anyway even if he was still alive." Metal Knuckles considered this for a moment and agreed.

"WWOOOOOHOOO! GO uh…" The leopard boy was looking over at Inferno's teammates for the dragon's name.

"Inferno." Shadow said.

"YEAH GO INFERNO!" the leopard continued and the crowd began to explode in applause and cheers. Metal Sonic walked over to the microphone, not forgetting to kick the Ring Master out of the way.

"Hold your applause! The next battle between Metal Knuckles, and the hedgehog chick is about to begin!" he said into the mike and the crowd immediately stopped cheering. The smell of the next fight hanging in the air.
