"Here we are at Laoshan Velodrome, where we'll witness the cycling course" said Gary.

E-08 whirred "this is the final course for both teams to compete in. Once it is over the team with the highest wins will be given the Olympic gold."

"Say Reportertron, mind telling the viewers each team's current score?"

"Information unavailable. I did not record the scores since I thought you would know."

"Me? I'm just a Goomba! I thought YOU would be keeping track since that was what you made for."

"Incorrect. Like I said before, I was made only made to report."

"Oh boy. Umm, I'm sure we'll remember sooner or later."

-

The only event in the cycling course is Pursuit. Equipped with sturdy bicycles, participants will ride around an oval-like course. The first to finish three laps wins. The contestants are Peach and Vector.

Before the race began, a certain doctor and an ultimate life-form were having an important discussion.

"The other team knows we're cheating?" gasps Robotnik. "Please tell me you're joking."

Shadow shook his head. "I don't joke. Ever."

"Hmm… this is bad. If they speak about this then we are going to be instantly disqualified!"

"Don't worry about it so much. They've been cheating as well, so they can't won't blackmail us without revealing what they've done."

"Ah, I see. In that case let's continue the course."

"Are you sure, doctor? This is the last event, and the other team might be expecting it. I don't want to risk losing after all we've done."

"I know, I know. But from what personality I witnessed on the other side, I bet they'll go for one final trick as well."

And Robotnik's assumptions were right. When Wario told Bowser what had happened, all the Koopa said was "so what? Let's cheat one more time!"

"I don't know" Wario said in doubt. "As much as I love playing unfairly, I'm more greedy for winning."

"Fine, you coward, if you're too scared of getting caught then I'll do it myself. Waluigi, go do your thing!"

Waluigi exclaimed "what?! I thought you said you were going to do it!"

"No I didn't. Stop whining and get out there!"

Groaning in annoyance, Waluigi obeyed. Back at Team Sonic, Knuckles was once again sent out to do the dirty work. And for reasons unknown to the echidna, Eggman and Shadow were angry at him.

The race was about to begin. Giving each other a good luck handshake first, Peach and Vector got onto their bikes.

"On your mark!" announced the Lakitu referee.

"Get set!" shouted the Shy Guy referee.

Espio blew a whistle. And by that sound the cyclists were off.

Peach was in the lead, with Vector not too far away. As the princess continued to pedal as hard as she could, she soon became out of breath and slowed down. Vector passed Peach and finished the first lap.

"Uh oh" Waluigi muttered to himself. "Bowser will roast me if I let his so-called girlfriend lose. I better do something fast!"

Thinking fast, the thin man pulled out a heart from a bag and tossed it at the princess. Thanks to the heart's healing properties, Peach suddenly had more stamina and began using it to catch up to the alligator.

"Yes! Now all I need to do throw more hearts and this will- ACK!"

Waluigi stopped his sentence due to the hand firmly squeezing on his esophagus. Knuckles, the one attached to the hand, pried the bag out of Waluigi's grasp and looked inside, seeing dozens of more hearts.

"Well well, look what we have here" Knuckles said. "you must have some nerve cheating on the last game. You're in big trouble now."

Lacking air, Waluigi gagged "too bad I already know you cheated too."

"What? How?" The echidna got no reply since he was still choking Waluigi. Realizing this, he let go of the lean meanie.

Inhaling some oxygen, Waluigi got up and kicked Knuckles right in the face! "That's for making me lose the fencing course!"

Knuckles got up and felt something wet on his nose. Wiping it off with his glove he discovered it was blood! "So you want to fight, eh? Then lets dance!"

The echidna pounced on his foe and began to knock Waluigi senseless. During the fight the bag was torn open and all the hearts scattered.

The cyclists were now on their third lap, and they were going so quickly they didn't notice any of the hearts laying the track.

Vector panted to Peach "hey lady, mind if I ask you something?"

"I guess" Peach replied.

"Even though we're being watched by millions of people right now, don't you think during the entire Olympics a few members of both of our teams have been taking the spotlight from the rest of us?"

"You know, now that you're talking about it I do believe so."

"Well, its good to know I'm not the only one who has that strange feeling. See you!"

Vector pedaled forward and crossed the finish line, with Peach coming in second.

"And there we have it!" Goomba announced to the crowd. "Finishing by just a few milliseconds is Vector the crocodile! Or was it alligator? Ah how cares, it's the same animal, right?"

"Not exactly" Reportertron beeped.

"Whatever. Since nobody around here seems to be keeping track of which team is winning, the award ceremony might be postponed for half an hour. But don't fret fans and players, the Olympics will end with excitement! I'm Gary Goomba…"

"And I am E-08 Reportertron. Thank you and may you watch us in the next game."

Mario sat outside, watching the sun slowing set down from the sky. He heard footsteps nearby, and turned to see Sonic standing beside him.

"Who would have thought the Olympics would already be over" the hedgehog said to the plumber. "And to think we never had the time to have a friendly chat with each other."

Mario grinned. "Well-a, now is a perfect time-a to talk. What should we-a discuss first?"

"I don't know. Did you ever go on any adventures?"

"Kind of-a. I traveled through time and space-a a couple of times."

"Really?! Huh, something tells me we have a lot in common. Go on, then. I'm listening."

Luigi rode on Yoshi, trying to look for something. When he noticed a red echidna nearby he told the dinosaur to heel.

"Excuse-a me" Luigi said to Knuckles. "Have you see someone who looks like-a me, only thinner and nastier? My team was planning to have a meal before the award ceremony."

"Yoshi!" Yoshi drooled in hunger.

Hiding a grin, Knuckles replied "nope, haven't seen him."

"Oh, okay-a. Well I hope-a someone knows where he-a is."

Luigi and Yoshi left. When they were completely out of sight, Knux said "I'm sure somebody will find him soon. Hehehe."

Inside the girls' locker room, the three furry females were changing out of their current clothing.

"What a day" Amy commented. "After that cycling event I really need to take a shower!"

"But you weren't even in the cycling event" Blaze stated.

"Yeah, but the tension made me sweat a bit and I really need to maintain my feminine hygiene."

Cream suddenly screamed in fear. The other two looked and saw what frightened her. Inside Cream's locker was Waluigi, battered and bruised with his overalls hanging from a coat hanger.

"A little help?" he wheezed.

The hedgehog and feline ignored the injured state of the man and focused on the fact a guy was in a girls' locker room. With that fact on their minds, they armed themselves with hammers and flames and attacked poor Waluigi.

"WAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
