I belive a number of people were surprised by Nazo's surrender. Don't worry. He'll be back.

Sonic the Hedgehog:

Tournament of the Stars

Chapter 15

Last time, Shadow decimated Rouge after she 'said the wrong thing at the wrong time' while Nazo surrendered in his fight against Metal Sonic, making the robot suspicious. Either way, the fights were continuing.

"Our next fighter is experienced in nearly everything you can think of, it's Ozone the Hedgehog!"

Ozone entered to the cheers from the crowd. He caught sight of Cream and waved to her, which she returned.

"And his opponent, the leader of the Chaotix Detective Agency, it's Vector the Crocodile!"

Vector got a number of cheers as well, making him feel confident. Upon seeing Ozone, he cracked his knuckles.

The two met each other in the centre of the arena and shook hands.

"I warn you, I'm tougher than you think" said Ozone.

Vector smirked a toothy grin. "Good, I need a challenge."

Straight after that, Vector threw a punch but Ozone grabbed it. Then, to everyone's astonishment, he lifted Vector into the air by his fist and threw him into the wall. As he slid onto the ground, the croc was seeing stars. With his opponent in no fit state to fight, Ozone quickly whipped out a book and began to read.

Vector shook himself out of it and saw Ozone and assumed he was mocking him. Enraged, Vector pulled out a microphone and began to sing, badly. Ozone wasn't the only one to cringe. The hedgehog covered his ears, giving Vector the chance to tackle him. With Ozone subdued, Vector proceeded to punch him repeatedly across the face. Ozone managed to recompose himself and he kicked the reptile off of him. Vector landed on his feet and shot his putrid breath at him. Using quick thinking, Ozone teleported behind Vector and got him in an arm lock. The more Vector struggled, the tighter Ozone's grip got.

It looked like Ozone had won until Vector flipped Ozone over his head. The hedgehog landed on the ground and left himself open to a body slam from Vector. Before he was crushed, Ozone charged up a small amount of Chaos Energy and fired it upwards in a style of a Chaos Spear. It hit Vector and badly bruised his underbelly. Ozone rolled out of the way and allowed Vector to hit the ground with a thud. He struggled to get back up but found it too hard.

"Vector can no longer fight, Ozone wins!"

Ozone bowed to the crowd as they cheered. Medics came for Vector but Ozone held out his hand to stop them.

"Allow me" he said.

Pulling out some herbs, he crushed them into a powder and sprinkled them over Vector. Suddenly, the bruises vanished and Vector began to feel better. Standing up, the croc held his hand out and Ozone took it.

"Thanks a lot, pal" Vector thanked.

Ozone nodded. "You were good. Maybe we could spar some other time."

Vector grinned. "I look forward to it."

After the two returned to their seats, the commentator spoke again. "Our next fighter is a Dark Wielder and someone you don't want to get on the wrong side of, it's Gemini Rose!"

Amy cheered for her cousin as Gemini entered the arena. A few people cheered as well but the rest seemed a bit scared by the dark hedgehog. He had this aura that sent out a bad vibe. Gemini didn't notice though. He was focused on his goal.

"And his opponent, a hedgehog who's skilled with a dagger, Larcen the Hedgehog!"

Sonic raised an eyebrow as Larcen walked in. Two of the people he didn't want to face were now duking it out. He calmed down a bit, knowing at least one of them would be out.

Gemini and Larcen stared at each other, showing no signs of friendliness. Time seemed to stop as the two just stood there. A voice then broke the silence.

"Come on, Larcen! You can do this!"

Larcen turned to Marisa who was cheering him on. But Gemini used this to begin his assault. He began punching Larcen repeatedly in quick succession. As he attacked, dark energy covered his arms, dealing more damage to Larcen. Gemini finished his assault off with a roundhouse kick, knocking Larcen away across the ground. The dark blue hedgehog picked himself up and pulled out his dagger. Gemini couldn't help but laugh at the feeble weapon. He regretted it when both the dagger and Larcen's necklace began to glow.

Larcen ran at Gemini and swung his dagger with surprising speed. Gemini managed to dodge the attack but Larcen was ruthless and continued swinging. Gemini didn't feel like getting cut up so he continued to dodge each swing. Eventually, the dark hedgehog jumped over Larcen's head. Not wasting any time, Larcen swung back round and his dagger went straight through Gemini, cutting him in half.

The crowd gasped while Larcen stared. He never killed anyone with his dagger and didn't plan to. But to his surprise, Gemini's body vanished and he was kicked from behind. Turning, he saw Gemini smirking.

"You…How did you do that?" Larcen asked.

"Why do you think I'm called Gemini?" the dark hedgehog replied, before splitting himself in two. There were now two Geminis!

Before Larcen could register this, both clones jumped forward, both glowing with darkness and both shouting "Dark Fang!"

With amazing speed, they shot towards Larcen. It looked like they had won, seeing as how the attack was now twice as strong but they bounced off of Larcen. Both were knocked back, before the two merged together to reform one Gemini. He stared as he saw a green shield covering Larcen, as he held his dagger up. Larcen smirked before charging at Gemini, his dagger glowing. Snarling, Gemini charged as well, preparing for another Dark Fang. The two collided, causing a flash of green and purple that blinded the crowd. As it settled down, both hedgehogs were standing but breathing heavily. Obviously, a lot of energy went into their attacks. It looked like neither would go down until Gemini recklessly ran at Larcen, his fist primed. Larcen quickly blocked it with his dagger and kicked Gemini in the gut, sending back across the floor. This time, he didn't get up.

"Gemini can no longer fight, Larcen wins!"

Marisa completely drowned the crowd out as he cheered and whistled for her friend. Larcen gave her the thumbs up before slipping into unconsciousness. Medics came for both of them, prompting Amy and Marisa to go see if they were alright.

"Well, that was an exciting match wasn't it?" the commentator asked. "Now, our next fighter is…"
