Sonic the Hedgehog:

Tournament of the Stars

Chapter 32

Last time, Emily managed to scrape a victory against Metal Havoc while Shade defeated Damien, who was distracted by voices in his head.

"Our next fight is Chrono VS Blaze!"

Silver glared at the tanuki as he entered the arena. Blaze had a serious look on her face as did Chrono. People could practically feel the sparks shooting between these two. They took their places in the centre of the arena.

"I wish you luck. You'll need it if you think you can win this" said Chrono.

"I don't think. I know" Blaze replied, back flipping whilst shooting her foot up which connected with Chrono's jaw. He was stunned by the surprise attack and didn't see Blaze run towards him and boot him across the face. He staggered again before Blaze threw a fireball at his back, knocking him to the floor.

He slowly got back up, snarling at the cat. He swung out with his claymore, attempting to strike Blaze but she hopped over it before clawing at his face. He dodged and headbutted her to the floor. He raised his claymore, intent on slamming it down, but Blaze was already up and slammed her fist into Chrono's stomach.

"Alright. I've had enough of this" he growled. He then took a weird looking stance. Blaze raised an eyebrow at this. Then she remembered that it was the same stance he took when he fought Storm.

"Uh oh."

"TIME BOOSTER!"

The tanuki zoomed past the lavender cat at amazing speeds, slashing past her every time. She attempted to avoid it but it was no use. Once he had stopped, Blaze was on the floor, covered with slashes and bleeding slightly.

From the sidelines, Silver's fists clenched as she tried to stand. "Come on, Blaze. Remember what I told ya."

In the arena, Chrono was panting slightly. He hadn't fully recovered from the fight with Alexander and using his time powers made him weaker. Deciding to do it the old fashioned way, he charged at Blaze, he claymore above him. He was about to slam it down when Blaze, somehow, shot out with her leg, tripping the tanuki up.

"What the…" he muttered. Blaze smirked as she stood up.

"Silver told me that you tire easily when you use your time powers. Now that you're weakened, we're even" she explained.

"A cunning plan but this fight isn't over yet!" Chrono yelled, sweeping out with his claymore. Blaze was sent skidding across the ground. She pushed herself back up with great difficulty and surrounded herself with flames. The tornado moved towards Chrono. He stood there until the last minute when he rolled out of the way. The tornado changed its trajectory and began to follow the tanuki all over the arena. Chrono was getting worn out but still ran as fast as he could. The tornado eventually stopped, revealing a tired Blaze. She looked ready to collapse. Chrono, knowing what he had to do, swung round and drew his claymore back.

"It ends now!"

He charged at the cat but he was moving awfully slow. Blaze didn't question it. She pulled her hand out to reveal a fireball that she was storing while in the tornado. She threw it at Chrono and as it hit, an explosion filled the air. Once the dust cleared, Chrono was unconscious. Smirking at her victory, Blaze finally fell to her knees and slipped into unconsciousness.

"Chrono was the first to fall so Blaze wins!"

The crowd cheered for the unconscious feline while Silver accompanied the medics who took her to the medical ward. He stared at Blaze, a smile on her face. His attention then moved to Chrono.

"It's funny" he said to himself. "Chrono had a bit of an opportunity to win. So why didn't he?" He shrugged it of, returning to the stands.

"Our next fight is Jet VS Larcen!"

Marisa once more drowned the crowd out cheering for her best friend. Both Larcen and Jet were serious about this fight. You could tell by their faces. However, once they reached the centre, Jet extended his hand.

"Best of luck" he said.

Larcen stared at the hand. He didn't take it. Jet raised an eyebrow. "Bit of a sourpuss, aren't ya?"

He then drew his fans. "Let's get this over with."

Larcen smirked. He launched himself forward but Jet swatted him away with his fans. The hawk charged at Larcen but he backflipped to avoid it. Larcen then threw a punch but Jet ducked throwing a kick that nailed Larcen in the chest. He was knocked to the ground but quickly got back up.

Jet smirked. I've got this in the bag, he thought. He then saw Larcen bring his dagger out.

"Aw snap" he said. Larcen jumped at Jet but the hawk ducked under him and swiftly turned round, slamming the metal end into the hedgehog's back. Larcen got knocked to the ground and his dagger was knocked to the edge of the arena. Larcen made a dash for it but Jet wasn't willing to let him get it.

"Gravity Dive!" he cried, raising his ark into the air and shooting forward. He got their miles before Larcen and grabbed his dagger.

"Not so tough now without your weapon, are ya?" Jet mocked.

Larcen snarled but it was replaced quickly with a grin. "I have other tricks too."

Suddenly, the necklace around Larcen's neck glowed, making Jet gasp with awe. That could be valuable, he thought. But this distracted him from Larcen's super quick punch to the face. Jet was thrown to the side, dropping the dagger, which Larcen retrieved. Still smirking, the dark blue hedgehog dashed at lightning speeds and repeatedly punched the living daylights out of Jet.

After being knocked to the floor, Jet kicked up, hitting Larcen in the face and pulling his fans out. He was about to attack but Larcen swiftly struck out with his dagger. Jet stared with horror as his fans fell apart.

"You little…" he growled but Larcen shut him up by punching him square on the beak. Jet stood there, his eyes rolling before falling back, unconscious.

"Larcen wins!" cried the commentator. Wave and Storm ran down to make sure Jet was ok. Larcen returned to the stands and went off to sit back down next to Marisa. He walked past Sonic and the two shot glances at each other. Larcen had noticed Sonic staring at him and Marisa the past couple of days but the look Sonic gave him wasn't pleasant. Larcen could've sworn he had no pupils for a split second. As he sat down, Marisa noticed the look on his face.

"What's the matter?" she asked.

Larcen shook his head. "Nothing. I just think there's more to this tournament that meets the eye."
