Chapter 3 will be all about the rest of the first day fights. Last time Sonic had quite a tricky opener against Caesar the Star Fox, but got through. The first fight of this round is Shadow vs. Storm. Read on for the other fights.

Sonic was relieved. He had beaten quite a tricky opponent that really surprised. He was happy now, knowing he would not be fighting for a couple of days now. He went into the shower room when a voice spoke to him.

"Hey Sonic, that was nice out there" Sonic thought for a moment. It was a familiar voice.

"Sally? it's not you is it?" Sonic asked. Suddenly, a squirrel jumped out on him.

"Hey there blue boy, nice surprise?"

"Oh my god, it has been ages! how have you been?"

"Oh nothing much, but I stepped down as princess of the kingdom" Sonic looked startled. He thought never in a million years, that Sally would give up the throne.

"But why?"

"Because I've seen the adventures you've been on, and it looked so cool. It has been. I've already got some friends. We're all in this tournament"

"Wait, you're in this tournament too, and who are your friends?"

Sally giggled. "I'll talk to you later Sonic, bye" Sally ran off. Sonic finished having his shower and managed to get a seat with his friends before the game started.

Shadow vs. Storm

The hedgehog and the albatross met 10 metres apart in the arena. "You look like that blue hedgehog, so this'll be easy!" shouted Storm.

"Hmph, they all say that" Shadow chuckled before starting. Shadow was speeding around, making Storm dizzy. After a while Storm got bored and out of sheer frustration punched thin air and so happened to catch Shadow, sending him flying backwards. Storm ran up and tried to get another punch in, but Shadow disappeared and reappeared behind him, putting in a Shadow kick which nearly put him unconscious. Just for the crowd, Shadow waited for Storm to get back up and charge at him, once again missing him. This time Shadow spun a tornado around Storm, swirling him midair, before Shadow grabbed him and punched him so hard, Storm was getting pains already. Shadow used a spin dash for the next move and smacked the ground, once again hitting Storm. Then a ring appeared for Storm and he could use a ground smash, knocking Shadow off his feet.

"You're good, albatross" said Shadow as a ring appeared in his hand, "But I'm better" Shadow started spinning feriously, not holding anything back. Storm decided this was trouble and started running around in all directions, hoping to avoid the spin. But Shadow never misses, and smashed into Storm. Storm was in pain, but Shadow showed no mercy. He used his homing attack 5 times, then spun a powerful tornado and Storm was unconscious for sure. Shadow grinned at his work, but someone in the crowd waved at him. Shadow was surprised when he saw it was Blaze. She was smiling at him in a more than friendly way. "That was one wierd wave" Shadow thought as he went to the shower.

Starlight vs. Oreo

Starlight came out into the arena glowing white, while Oreo was a strange looking Cat that had green skin. Starlight started with his light control that would blind most people, but Oreo had moved behind Starlight and kicked him up in the air, bringing him down with a thud. Oreo procceded with Septer control that warped Starlight to another part of the arena were Oreo was waiting and once again he attacked Starlight. Oreo swiftly used his death sparks, though Starlight's positive light energy destroyed them. Starlight then used his negative powers to send a powerful jolt towards Oreo, stunning him. Before he had time to react, Starlight then used a chaos card that put a shield around Oreo, and electocuted Oreo. Oreo fell to the floor, but a ring appeared and Oreo used negative energy to create a dark warp, that attacked Starlight's light energy supply. Starlight needed a ring to recharge, but Oreo used his septer control and hit Starlight unexpected. Starlight was very tired now and felt as if he could embarassilgly be put in the first round. Soon though the ring appeared and Starlight glowed a white colour and spun into ball that shot light out of it. Oreo braced himself as Starlight hit one of the hardest tackles ever, completely immobilizing Oreo. 10 seconds past and Oreo was still lying on the floor looking hurt bad. Starlight had won, but offered no help to his opponent and ran off. "Ok, next fight... Espio vs. Culina."

Espio vs. Culina

The two chameleons met in the arena is classic fighting pose. Espio used his shurikens, but Culina caught all of them and threw them away. Espio was surprised, but moved on and turned invisible but Culina did likewise. Although the crowd could not see them, a lot of close quarter fighting took place between them before they had to reveal themselves. Culina then managed to pick Espio up and twist his leg, putting him in pain.

"Ahhhh!" he yelped.

Culina kept going though and started beating the crap out of him without using tricks. Espio then summoned a power ring and healed some of the damage before he threw an electric shuriken, paralysing Culina. By the time Culina had got up, Espio had went invisible and started throwing some kicks and punches. Culina though, made Espio reappear and was on the back foot as Culina had gotten her power ring and charged up a tornado swirl, lifting Espio up into the air.

"Just cause I'm a girl, doesn't mean I fight like one" remarked Culina.

Espio had been losing up to this point and that was the way it was going to continue as Culina, once again, put in a powerful kick into Espio, who was on backup power now. Espio, then threw about eight shurikens at once, two or three hitting Culina. Espio proceeded with his own leaf swirl and blew Culina into the air. Espio thought he was back on level terms, but Culina had got back up and used a Chaos Shuriken that struck Espio's stomach, wounding him. Espio tried using all his strength to get back up, but no use. He was out.

"And the winner is Culina the Chameleon!" shouted the commentator.

Culina ran over to her opponent, who didn't look much worse than herself. He had a few cuts on his stomach and one down his right arm. He was still concious though.

"That was a good fight, but you deserved it" said Espio. Culina smiled.

"It was pretty tough" she replied. Culina ran to the showers, while Espio went to have his cuts cared for.

"Ok next fight...Miles Prower or Tails vs. Metal Sonic!"

Tails vs. Metal Sonic

There was gasps all around the stadium as the Robot walked calmy into the arena, waiting for his match. Metal Sonic had a more darker shade of blue than usual and he had a white stripe. He almost a resemblence to his form during Metal Madness.

"Tails, you don't have to do this" called Sonic. Tails though, stood up determined.

"I am going to fight"

"But Tails, you're going to lose!" shouted Knuckles a few seats away.

"Yeah, he'll get really violent if he remembers you" added Rouge.

Tails though ignored the comments and jumped into the arena and faced his metal opponent. Metal Sonic stared back blankly before saying,

"Identify, Tails the fox, you will pay for the past events" Tails though got into a fighting position.

"You will never learn Metal!"

As the fight started Metal Sonic sped around the arena confusing Tails, before striking him in the back. Tails went down in pain, but healed quickly and started flying but forgot that Metal S. could fly and quickly he got struck again. Soon though, Tails got used to the attacks and started dodging them, which wasted Metal's power supply. Tails knew he could run Metal dry on energy but Metal had a lot of it. Metal used his energy beam to stun Tails before grabbing him and slamming him against the floor. Tails was in some pain now, but Metal wasn't having any of it. He proceeded to pick Tails up and throw him to the other side. Metal summoned a power ring and used his sonic boom, and smashed right into Tails. Metal realised Tails was in pain so he stepped it up a little and twisted Tails leg, almost breaking it.

"Ahhh! please stop!" Tails started crying.

Sonic in the crowd, was full of rage, and Knuckles and Shadow had to stop him lunging down and destroying Metal Sonic. Soon though, the fight was over but only Sonic and Shadow, because they had fighted, could go see him.

"Alright everyone, the next fight...Silver the Hedgehog vs. Serpant the Bright

Silver the Hedgehog vs. Serpant the Bright

Silver came ou into the arena and was greeted by an orange serpant that glowed a yellow colour. Both of them took fighting positions and readied themselves.

"Let's do this" said Silver.

Silver used his telekinesses to pick up Serpant, but caused no damage because of the sheer size of him. Serpant then shot something out his mouth, that Silver was quick to react to. After dodging, Silver started flying around Serpant, but using his tail, managed to smash Silver into the ground, making a dent. Silver got back up, though and tried the speed he had. This worked because of the size of Serpant meant he couldn't keep up. Silver then made a spin for the head, causing minor damage.

"Damn, it's no use!"

A power ring then came for Serpant. Serpant swallowed the power ring and something grew in his mouth, before firing a really fast beam not letting Silver react. Silver managed to get back up with about 4 seconds left. He used his powers to fire things at Serpant, while running circles around him. Silver then got a power ring and starteed spinning and smashed himself off Serpant's body, making him growl in pain. Silver took advantage and ran rings around Serpant before finally picking him up and smashing him off the ground, defeating him.

"The winner...Silver the Hedgehog!"

Silver went over to his rival, who said didn't need assistance. With that done, Silver went to the Showers before the next fight had begun.

"Our next fight...Gezzod the Hedgehog vs. Biar the Wolf

Gezzod the Hedgehog vs Biar the Wolf

"Lets do this thing" said Biar.

As the match started, biar took the advantage using his agility and powerful kicks to get Gezzod. Gezzod responded by putting a swift punch. This process continued untill Gezzod did a ground smash, dazing his opponent, before doing a follow up punch that sent Biar flying. Then Gezzod summoned a power ring a fire appeared in his hand. He prepared for the final blow, but Biar moved out of the way just in time. Biar then got his power ring and created a tornado, similar to Sonic's. As Gezzod got lifted, Biar put a swift kick in that wounded Gezzod. Gezzod though, wasn't having any of this and proceeded to getting back up and landing a surprise punch into Biar's stomach, before kicking him in the face. With one last punch, Gezzod finished the match completely. Some cheers went up as Gezzod ran out the arena.

"Ok everyone, just one more game and that'll be it for today, please welcome Meltdown the Cyclone vs. Shade the Echidna!

Meltdown the Cyclone vs. Shade the Echidna

Knuckles looked up from his daydream. He never expected to see Shade here. He thought about shouting on her, but decided he would speak to her later. Shade stepped out onto the arena to see a black creature that looked like a solid form of Chaos.

"You better be ready!" shouted Shade. Meltdown didn't reply and instantly swiped at Shade's feet, knocking her off the ground. Shade got a smirk on her face, "This'll be a challenge" Shade then landed a punch into Meltdown's stomach, making him roar in pain. Shade thought it must be a weak spot. Shade went for another punch into the stomach, but Meltdown was ready and forced a shield down, that electrocuted Shade. Shade then tried some attacks on the leg, but Meltdown just kicked her off. Shade then outwited Meltdown, by anticapating his attack and counter attacking. Meltdown then used a power ring to activate a chaos control, that bewildered everyone. Meltdown appeared behind Shade and kicked her to the other side of the arena. Shade got up as best as she could, and caught Meltdown off guard and started attacking the gut, and the power ring came, allowing Shade to pierce right through. Meltdown then disappeared.

"Meltdown has left the arena, making Shade the winner!"

With no opponent to check on, Shade made her way to get changed.

"Ok everyone that was some good fights out there, remember tomorrow we will be in silent hill, for another quarter of the first round. Before I go I will congratulate all of today's winners. Well done Sonic, Shadow, Starlight, Culina, Silver, Shade and Gezzod. Bye for now"

Some good battles there. The battles will get longer in later rounds. The next chapter may be up tonight as well, as it is only the aftermath.
