"The Stage is set! Sonic: the famed blue blur vs. Roque: the powerful 12th seat!" cheers Dr. Eggman with excitement.
Sonic analyzes Roque's armor, "Rock power, huh?" the armor looks like a couple spin dashes and homing attacks could geet it done…but if he's a 12th seat of this Saint Council thingy, he must have more cards up his sleeve than this simple rock armor suit.
Roque stomps his right foot, sending a large pile of earth airborne, and then throws every single one of them at Sonic. What the heck!?Sonic jumps back-avoiding every rock, barely; Roque rushes at him with full speed and trucks him into a wall.
"Ow…that rock armor is harder than I thought!" rubbing his head as he recovers from the direct hit.
"Of course, part of my ability is that I can harden the molecules of the earth itself. I'm able to make Rock harder and as indestructible as solid titanium!" Roque creates a giant hammer made of rock, "now come, I wish to not be disappointed after hearing so much about you from Spade and Dr. Eggman."
Sonic becomes annoyed, "I don't know this Spade guy! Stop bringing him up!" he charges up his spin dash and then collides with his rock armor. Roque throws his rock hammer on the ground and catches him, slams him on the ground, then picks up his rock hammer from the ground. He makes a power swing at Sonic; Sonic rolls out the way and distances himself.
"Whoa there…! Looking to kill me!?" barks Sonic, waving his fist in anger with smoke puffing out from his ears.
"If you don't want to die then I suggest you put up a better fight!" mocks Roque; Sonic's annoyance grows.
"Fine…" Sonic gets up and stretches.
Sonic sprints at Roque and then quickly spin dashes into him then, he rolls back, spin dashing-then does a homing attack, landing a hit on him. Roque's armor doesn't even have a dent.
"I guess I should've expected much…." Tightening his white gloves, "that's quite the armor you've got."
Sonic takes a deep breath, his expression changes from the cocky one he'd been boasting up until this point to one with experience written all over his face. Sonic cracks his knuckles and charges up his spin dash.
"That's the expression I've been waiting to see!" claps Dr. Eggman with excitement.
"Show me what you got, Sonic!" declares Roque, flexing with his rock hammer.
Sonic dashes at him and does a homing attack on his back, weakening that part of his armor. I had a feeling so…the reason why he must be the 12th seat and not higher must be because a certain part of his armor is weaker! I'll focus on that then. Sonic aims once more at Roque's back, but rock swats him away, knocking Sonic's body at the wall.
Sonic staggers to his feet, He's…not supposed-"You're thinking how it is that I'm able to be so mobile..." finishing Sonic's thought; Sonic sharpens his glare.
"Sonic, your speed is unrivaled! I don't think Daytona, the 10th seat and speed specialist, could match your speed." Roque tightens his grip on his hammer, "That's why I won't hold back! I want to take down the fastest thing alive!"
Sonic snaps, losing complete focus. He rushes in full speed and performs multiple homing attacks at rapid pace, destroying Roque's armor. Roque falls back in shock; he quickly recovers himself as Sonic prepares for his next attack.
Dr. Eggman chimes in, "Roque isn't someone that'll be defeated so easily, he's the fight-hungry 12th seat! He's capable moving the earth!" Roque regains his confidence and powers up; summoning rocks around him.
"I'm impressed with your performance, indeed you're as people rate you." Giving props to Sonic's incredible speed, "Sadly this match is over…"
"How so..? As I see it, I have the momentum!" snarls Sonic, getting overconfident again; Roque creates a barely visible barrier around him.
The ground begins to quake, the ravines shiver in fear at the might of Roque as he makes preparation for a devastating attack. The surrounding air is sucked up along with the quake; Sonic's left immobile, one bad move and he could fall, leaving his guard open.
Roque releases all the air pressure that built up in his barrier, the impact stuns Sonic, forcing him to kneel down-resisting the overwhelming pressure. Sonic keeps a good resistance, breaking through the air pressure. Roque charges at Sonic with full force; Sonic tries to dodge, but gets caught in one of Roque's traps that he'd set up.
Roque gets closer, "I knew you'd try to escape! I made sure to set up as many traps as needed." The rock traps were made of the same indestructible Titanium-like rock; Sonic tries to spin dash, but to no success.
Roque lands a critical blow on Sonic, punching him straight in the temple with his rock glove; Sonic doesn't falter, biting his lip in agony. Roque dishes punch after punch on Sonic, treating him like a punching bag. He ends the beat down by knocking Sonic out with the Rock hammer; Sonic lies on the floor, unconscious with blood trickling down from his head.
Dr. Eggman applauses Roque, "Excellent work, I don't believe anyone's brutally beaten Sonic like that before!" Roque doesn't look satisfied with the result. He crouches down next to Sonic's body, gently making a cross, and gets up.
It's a shame…I heard from Spade that you're one the special ones that could've controlled Blue flames…I was hoping to ignite and extinguish them myself but, it appears that couldn't happen. Rest in Peace.
Dr. Eggman grabs the Chao Emerald and they make their exit onto his ship; leaving Sonic there to die. Thunder rumbles as heavy rain begins to fall, something very uncharacteristic in the red desert and red canyon, the area famously know for having very little rainfall.
"Looks like your Tremor was powerful enough to summon a thunderstorm!" awed Dr. Eggman.
"Yes, it happens whenever I use my Tremor ability…" he sits back and looks out the window, "Dr. Eggman, I helped you get one Chaos Emeralds. There are six more you need, yes?"
"Correct the rest we will gather very shortly. Don't worry; you'll get more people to fight…although not on the scale of Sonic." Lowering his tone in lament; Roque observes his sudden emotion.
"You have quite a history with Sonic…perhaps you guys weren't bitter enemies?"
"Of course he's my bitter enemy!" lashes Dr. Eggman, "It's just…I've come to respect him. I hate his guts of course, but, I didn't hate him enough to kill him…but I'm not surprised to see someone of your level easily exterminate a pest like him." looking lost in his own words.
Back over at the scene of the fight, Sonic remains unconscious on the ground,his head drenched in his own blood from the open wound, with heavy rain beating down; His phone rings, the caller ID read: Tails.
