"Greetings from Shunyi Olympic Rowing-Canoeing Park" Reportertron booted up.
"With Team Mario ahead by a single win, Team Sonic will have to give it their all in order to tie" said Gary. "Can they do it? Let's find out."
-
The only event in the rowing course is Single Sculls. All you have to do in this event is row in a straight line until you reach the finish line. The rowers are Yoshi and Doctor Eggman.
The oval shaped scientist and the green dinosaur held onto their oars tightly. A horn blared briefly signaling the start of the race.
The participants rowed, their backs facing their goal. Of course, this event wouldn't be interesting without somebody cheating. In this case, Eggman decided to give Yoshi's boat an 'underwater view.'
"Oh woah woah woah woah!" cried Yoshi as his boat filled up with water spewing from a hole.
"Hope you can swim" Robotnik chuckled menacingly. His laughter censed when his boat crashed into something, causing it to sink as well. Surprised, the doctor turned around when he saw what he collided into was a random miniature iceberg! "NOOOO!!!!"
"Well, this is inconvenient" Gary said in tone less excited than it usually is. "It appears both sides have damaged boats."
"We have gotten word that there will be a rematch for the Single Sculls event" E-08 forwarded. "It will be postponed due to everything being revaluated to make sure all boats are in perfect conditions and no hazards are in the water. Thank you for your patience."
-
"Good thing I froze up an iceberg or we would have lost for sure" said Bowser.
"Shouldn't we be careful with our cheating?" Waluigi asked. "I mean, since that one red… whatever he is knows what we're doing."
"Yeah, but he doesn't have any evidence against us."
"And an iceberg isn't evidence of cheating?" spoke Wario.
"Well it's not I wrote our names on it."
"You DID write our names on it!" spat Waluigi.
"And you also wrote that the iceberg was meant to cheat in the rowing competition!" Wario pointed out.
The Koopa whined "shut up! It's hard for me to keep track on what I'm suppose to do with my evil traps!"
-
Meanwhile, Eggman was being dragged out of the water thanks to the superb fishing skills of the Lakitu referee.
"ACHOO!" sneezed the doctor as he was carried ashore.
"Oh dear, I think Eggman got a cold from swimming in the freezing water caused by the iceberg" Tails said as he put his hand on the shivering doctor's forehead.
"A cold?" Lakitu said. "Well, in case we can't allow him to row. You know, otherwise he'll sneeze all over the equipment and spread booger germs and stuff."
Eggman didn't take this suggestion very well. "What?! Are you crazy?! I can't drop out, otherwise we'll have to for- for- ACHOO! Ugh… forfeit."
"Hmm, I guess you can use the replacement guy… oops! Forget I said anything!"
"Wait, replacement guy?"
"Yeah, there's this dude who takes place of athletes who can't participant for miscellaneous reasons."
"Then bring him in! I clearly can't… ACHOO!… row in this condition!"
"I dunno. I think you're suppose to use your own teammates for replacements…"
"JUST DO IT, YOU STUPID GEEK ON A CLOUD!"
Scared and insulted, the referee floated away to call the replacement in. The fox boy looked at the dripping wet human with uncertainty. Eggman just smirked, hoping the new guy will be as useful as he's hoping for…
-
"And we're back!" announced Gary Goomba. "We have received word that Eggman is unable to play the Single Sculls event, but fear not Team Sonic fans, for a replacement has arrived and we are meeting him right now. Hello, sir, what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!" said the replacement.
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
"I know you're you. But what is your name?"
"I'm Mii!"
Finally, Reportertron oddly got impatience and honked "this interview is going nowhere! Start the damn event already!"
"Easy there fella!" Gary said playfully. "But my friend here is right folks, let the game begin!"
The replacement and Yoshi got into their rowboats. They were off when the starting horn blared once more. The replacement guy had the lead, but Yoshi wouldn't give up that easily.
"Yoshiiii!!!!!" huffed the green dinosaur.
In the final stretch, Yoshi rowed as hard he could and got at the finish line first!
"Yoshi is the victor!" Gary Goomba announced. "This is the first time the usual winning pattern has been broken! Team Mario is ahead by two courses, but that doesn't mean Team Sonic can't get a chance to win."
"Tune in tomorrow to see what happens" Reportertron signed out.
The dinosaur with the elastic tongue bowed as his fans cheered for him. While this was happening, Eggman decided to 'congratulate' his replacement.
"YOU WORTHLESS LOSER! THANKS TO YOUR INCOMPIDENCE OUR TEAM IS FARTHER BEHIND! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF?!"
"I'm Mii!"
Before Robotnik could say anything more, he sneezed with incredible force. The force threw the replacement back, sending him through a building which fell down into pieces. With his nuisance taken care of, the doctor decided to go and get some green tea for his cold.

Meanwhile, in an unknown location, was the base of the Ninja Clan. The Ninja Clan lived in secrecy, hiding untold knowledge and assassinating important politicians. They are a truly crafty and dangerous organization.
Currently a meeting was being held. The discussion was about the attack at the Olympic stadium. A lone ninja stood in front of the elder council, holding a notepad in shame.
"Were you not told to only record our targets' strengths and weaknesses?" one ninja elder mumbled. "Then why to trick two of our best apprentices to attack prematurely, and fail at it as well?"
Nervous at the stares of his superiors, the note-taking ninja replied "I w-wanted see h-how good they were m-myself. I've heard so much on how good they are…"
Another elder shouted "but you risked our mission and revealed ourselves to our targets! The Ninja Clan takes great regards to make sure no outsiders know we exist. Hell, we even bottle up the spirits of those we have killed to insure our confidentiality! You have dishonored us."
"Please, I beg for forgiveness!"
"Forgiveness?" yet another elder snorted. "We should beat you senselessly!"
"Now, now, this ninja is only an amateur, you shouldn't expect much out of him" spoke a peculiar ninja.
One elder bowed down, saying "greetings, Master Waku. We apologize for asking you to come on such short notice."
"I do not mind, o honorable elders. So I presume this is the rascal you have been talking about?"
"Indeed. His actions may cost us on the mission you gave us."
"Don't worry about it, I've taken care of most of it already. All I need to do now is go after the witnesses. So kid, who did you exactly attack?"
Looking at what he written down, the note-taking ninja replied "Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, and Eggman. I believe there was someone there too, but I don't know who."
"Is that so? Hmm, well I'm sure these witnesses will soon forget what has happened today. As for you child, your punishment for this incident is brutal training. Training you will obviously need."
"Yes, Master Waku, I shall begin right away!"
The note-taking ninja left in a hurry. Master Waku smiled under his ninja cloak, admiring the newbie's determination.
Turning back to the elders, Waku spoke "speaking of which, I should get back to training myself." He bowed, and the elders followed suit. As he walked away, Waku thought to himself 'just you wait Sonic and Mario. Once I get rid of you and your friends, I will be the greatest hero left in the world!'
