Sonic and Tails sized each other up. Tails was not much shorter than Sonic any longer.

"Nothing to say to me?" Tails questioned him.

Sonic grumbled. "Not a fan of what you did to Sonia."

Tails shook his head disapprovingly. "I don't like what she did either. If you can do that to strikers… Imagine what I'm gonna do to Amy once I get my hands on her…"

Sonic held onto Tails' shoulders sternly. "Hurt me, and win. Hurt Amy, and you'll be broken at my feet, crying for forgiveness. Understand?" He threatened, looking ridiculous in his ninja outfit.

Tails leaned into Sonic, each one's arms around the other. "I was too harsh on you." Sonic admitted, gently stroking the fur on the boy's face. "You're a good little brother. Be good."

"Don't want to hurt you either." Tails confessed. "Gotta do it." He walked around the eagle's side, eyes still locked with Sonic.

The competitors stood at a wingspan, waiting to tear the other apart. "Round two. Stage up! FIGHT!"

Sonic sprinted at Tails, leading with his shoulder. He pushed the fox to the ground instantly. Tails stood up behind the hedgehog and tugged at his quills. Sonic screamed as Tails dragged him in. He was defenseless as the fox kicked in his lower back.

Sonic turned, swinging his entire body at Tails for a demeaning slap to the face. Tails shrieked in pain and covered his face. Sonic kicked the fox in the gut and tripped him over.

"Mina!" Tails whined, turning over.

"You gotta be faster, buddy!" Sonic taunted. Mina ran at him with her hands low. Sonic braced and held out his hands intending to evade a leg grab. Mina launched herself with a front handspring, nailing Sonic in the chest. Tails got up as Sonic grabbed Mina's leg and tripped her.

The second that it was legal, Tails punched Sonic wickedly in the midsection, forcing all the air out of his lungs. He kicked the hedgehog's knee in, knocking him to the ground. He waved Amy in before trying agonizingly to relocate his knee.

Amy picked up her hammer quickly and moved in to deal with Tails. Blocking was useless here; Tails had to dodge. He took a painful hit to the left hip then leaped over another. He was pushed back by her hammer. The fox spun his tails and slid under Amy, grabbing her legs and dragging her across the pavement. Like Sonia, her outfit prevented her from being hurt too badly.

Tails kneeled on Amy as she tried to get up. "Going somewhere?" He taunted. "You can't hurt me, and Sonic's still down. Think he can save you?"

Amy struggled to break free from Tails without hurting him. She panicked to see Soar prepare for the ten count. "Release me now, boy!" She demanded.

"Nah." He calmly replied. "Hey Sonic! Here, boy!" Amy breathed in to respond but Tails slapped her face! She attempted to speak again to meet the same result, before he smacked her just for Sonic's reaction. Amy's torment persisted until Tails heard Sonic scream in horrifying pain on count six. He had pushed his knee back into place and gotten up to fight again. Tails got off a reddened Amy and stood up.

"You do NOT humiliate my girlfriend!" Sonic charged. Tails spitefully pulled Amy to him by her tail with one hand and slapped her butt with the other. He pushed her away as Sonic charged for a spin dash. Tails missed his leap and got spun violently before taking a hard landing. He stood up slowly as Sonic grabbed his neck. The hedgehog used the side of his fist to beat Tails rapidly in the face. Tails struggled with him, but Sonic only stopped after he saw the fox's nose bleed.

He let go of Tails and the fox slumped to the ground crying. A medic saw his deformed nose and ended the match. Sonic had broken Tails' nose, earning him some deserved booing.

Soar returned to the stage. "In a uniquely eventful victory, round two goes to Team France! Medical staff are attending to Tails and he will be okay. His girlfriend prepares to take on Sonic. Join us soon for round three!"

Sonic returned to the sideline to see Amy almost crying in Manic's arms. He gave her to Sonic when he could. Sonic stroked Amy's hair and calmed her down. "You are alright. He's been punished." Sonic soothed her. Zooey cuddled her boyfriend as Tails was told his nose would heal on its own. Ash and Mina stood by for round three.
