No Brotherly Love

Chapter 4: Thrust Into Action

Sonics POV:

As my eyes opened, I could hear cheering. I sat up slowly, rubbing my head as my vision started to clear.

I looked around me and saw some sort of make-shift coliseum made from junk and spare parts, but judging that it was holding, well done to the architect.

I took a closer look to the sides of the 'building' and saw a crowd cheering. Looking at them all I realized a small balcony on a higher level.

As I stared at the crowd, someone approached from the shadows onto the balcony, raised their hands and the crowd went silent.

The figure was a half robot, half echidna being. Something seemed familiar about this person though.

As I pondered on who it was, he started to speak, "Silence, we need silence!"

'Great, ANOTHER nut job' I thought.

"Now as you all know, our enemy has tried so many times to trick us that Sonic The Hedgehog was back by sending androids that looked similar if not exactly the same as Sonic. But now, we have two beings who could possibly be the real Sonic The Hedgehog. And now, these two creatures will fight to the death, and the real Sonic will emerge triumphant. Now, release contestant Alpha!"

As he said that, a gate on the other side of this huge junkyard opened, revealing something shocking. After what was said, I expected Metal Sonic or something. But instead, it was a creature far worse…a younger me!

The nut job spoke again, "Now, fight!"

And as he said that, the younger me ran towards me at great speeds. And that's how it all began…

We had been at each others throats for quite a while, but it was hardly fair. I had practically been just woken up when I was thrust into action, but I WAS going to beat this cheap copy, well, hardly cheap.

We stopped running around at great speeds and got into a good fist to fist. He was on the assault and me on the defence. I was countering all his punches, but I could feel my stamina dropping to minimum.

As I became slower, he speeded up. Punching me in the stomach, winding me, and then delivering a powerful uppercut on my jaw.

I was on the floor, on all fours. As the copy of myself raised his hand for the final blow, a scream was heard, and I recognized it…Amy.

Immediately my body was controlling itself and my speed had once again come back to former glory. As the copy brought its fist down, I moved.

I was to fast for the naked eye. The copy looked around and couldn't see me and the crowd did the same. But it then looked up and saw my figure.

I came down like lighting, pulling back my fist as I came down, ready to destroy it. I definitely wasn't myself. Something was…off.

As my fist came down on the copy's skull, a small crater formed from the impact. The copy was indeed a robot. The wires and metal could be seen poking from it's now lifeless form. It's hand was twitching, but it was 'dead' in a sense.

I stared at my hand, there was no blood from the impact, which was a bit suspicious.

People said I looked like a demon. My fur now black and my muzzle, chest and arms were pale. And my eyes…lifeless. No pupils could be seen in the once green orbs.

I stared to the balcony which I had spotted earlier, the robot/echidna was shocked, and next to him was Amy. The coliseum was silent. I smirked, I WAS Sonic, and they knew it.

I walked to the exit which was sealed off but was now, once again, open. It was just below the balcony. I could feel everyone's eyes watching me, I just couldn't help but smirk at the attention.

As I made my way to the exit, I felt light headed. My fur became blue again. My muzzle, arms and chest regained their tan.

But as this happened, my legs gave in, and I fell to the ground with a thud. I passed out again, how many more times was this gonna happen.
