//------------------------------// // Chapter 4 // Story: Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 The Search For The Crystal Heart // by Will Atkinson //------------------------------// Sonic and Shadow in Equestria 3 the search for the Crystal Heart By: Will Atkinson Chapter 4 A week had passed since the race and ever since then Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx had told Flash, Sunset, and five of the mane six their story about how they got to their world and why they were there. After hearing their story Flash, Sunset, and five of the mane six have deicide to help Sonic, Shadow, Tails, and Nyx with this terrible situation that they were in, so Sonic and Shadow stayed with Flash while Tails and Nyx stayed with Sunset. It's now a Saturday affternoon, and Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are playing with Flash's Xbox 360. "Wow this game you have Flash, is way passed cool," said Sonic. "I agree, it's nice," said Shadow. "Well, thanks you two," said Flash. Just then there was a knock at the door. "Now, who can that be?" Asked Flash, as he got up and headed toward the door. When he opened the door he saw Derpy the mail girl. "Oh hey Derpy, what are you doing here?" Asked Flash. "Oh well I just came here to give you and your roommates these," said Derpy, as she gave some envelops to him and then left. As Flash came back in the room, Shadow asked. "Well, who was it Flash?" "It was Derpy and she gave me these," said Flash, as he presented Sonic and Shadow the three envelops. "Hmm, I wonder what it is?" Asked Sonic, as the three opened their envelops. When they did, they saw that it was an invitation to a fighting tournament in Town Hall today. "Oh wow, it's a invitation to a fighting tournament and we can sign up," said Sonic. "This would be awesome," said Shadow. "And it also says that the winner will get a trophy and two million dollars cash," said Sonic. Flash put the paper down on the table and said. "Well, I'm game what about you guys?" "We're in," they said together, while giving him the thumbs up. With that the three got into Flash's car and set off to Town Hall. Meanwhile Tails and Nyx was Chilin at Sunset house until Sunset's cell phone rang. "I'll get it," Sunset said, as she got up and answer her cell phone. "Hello?" She asked. "Hey Sunset," said Flash. "Hey Flash, what's up?" Asked Sunset. "I'm just calling to tell you that me, Sonic, and Shadow are going to sign up for that fighting tournament today," "Oh wow cool, I got a call from Rainbow and Applejack a couple minutes ago and they said that they were going to sign up for that tournament today as well." When Flash heard this, he almost dropped his phone. "What? Rainbow and Aj are going to be there too?" He asked. "Yep, and the others are going to leave soon too see the tournament," explained Sunset. "Ok well, we'll see you there," said Flash. "Ok see ya," said Sunset, as she hugged up the phone. With that Sunset went back to the room to get Tails and Nyx, so they could get to Town Hall in time. "Come on you guys it's time that we should be going to Town Hall now," she said to them. "So, who was on the phone?" asked Tails. "It was Flash, and he called to tell us that he, Sonic, and Shadow were going to sign up for the sixteen fighters tournament," said Sunset. After she said that Tails shook his head. "That's Sonic and Shadow for ya, they always are up for some challenge," said Tails. Just then Nyx got up and headed for the door. "Well come on you two, let's go and get to Town Hall." "Ok Nyx, we're coming," said Sunset. With that Tails and Nyx got into Sunset's car and the three set off for Town Hall. Meanwhile back with Sonic, Shadow, and Flash, they made it to Town Hall, once there they came up to the sign up desk and wort their names on the paper. When they were done they set off inside to join the rest of the wrestlers that were waiting for the tournament to start. "Wow look at all of these people that are in the tournament," said Shadow. "Yeah, there a lot of people here" said Flash. Just then a fimiler voice rang out. "Hey Sonic, Shadow, Flash over here," When Sonic, Shadow, and Flash turn around they saw Rainbow Dash waving at them. "Hey Rainbow," said Sonic. "We heard that you and Applejack are here for the tournament as well," Shadow said. "Yeah, that's right," said Rainbow. "So, where's Applejack?" Asked Flash. As soon as he said that then he felt a tap on his shoulder when he tuned around he saw Applejack. "Don't do that ever again Applejack," said Flash. "Sorry sugar," said Applejack. "So Applejack, how many people are here for the tournament?" Asked Sonic. "Oh that's easy, there will be sixteen and you, Shadow, and Flash were that last fighters to come," she said. Just then Sonic saw a familiar red hair knuckle head coming their way. ("Oh great, Knuckles is here too?") Sonic asked himself. "Well, Well, Well look what we have here, more fighters," said the young man. "And just who are you?" Asked Applejack. "I'm Knuckles, one of the strongest fighters here." Sonic and Shadow shook their heads. "If your one of the strongest here then who is the rest?" Asked Flash. "Oh that's easy, it's that guy right their," said Knuckles. Sonic, Shadow, and the others turned to where Knuckles was pointing at and they saw a big guy with a nose ring throwing punches. "Who in the world is that?" Asked Shadow. "That is Iron Will, he is undefeated in the MMA," said Rainbow Dash. "That's right and he is here for that prize money," said Knuckles. Just then Iron Will approached the five with a smile on his face. "Well if it isn't my old challenger Knuckles, and with fresh meat no less," he snickered. "You were lucky last time Iron Will, but this time I will be the victor," said Knuckles. "But first you have to get through the other challengers first, and if you do make it I'll see you at the finales," said Iron Will. With that Iron Will left the five with anger in their eyes. "Man what a arrogant puck," said Shadow. "Yeah, no kidding," said Applejack. Just then a men with a ref shirt came in. "Alright everyone it's almost show time so we want everyone to come out to the arena to see who they will be fighting in the first round," he said. "Well I'll see one of you in the tournament or may be two," said Knuckles, and with that he set to the arena with Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Rainbow, and Applejack right behind him. Meanwhile Sunset, Tails, and Nyx made it to Town Hall. "Well here we are," said Sunset. "Wow this Town Hall is much bigger then the one back in Equestria," said Nyx. "Yeah it is Nyx," said Sunset. "Well we better start heading in before it starts," said Tails. Just before they entered the building a voice rang out. "Hey Sunset, Tails, Nyx over here." The three turned around to see Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy, Rarity along with Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo. "Hey you guys, what are you doing here?" Nyx asked. "We're her to see Applejack and Rainbow fight," said Scootaloo. "What about you three?" Asked Rarity. "We're here to see Rainbow and Applejack fight too as well as Sonic, Shadow, and Flash," said Sunset. When they heard that Sonic, Shadow, and Flash were going to fight as well they couldn't believe it. "Wait Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are in the fighting tournament too?" Asked Fluttershy. "Yeah, they are," said Tails. "Wow, awesome first Rainbow Dash and Applejack and now Sonic, Shadow, and Flash are going to be in the tournament as well," said Scootaloo. "Well come on and let's get in there before it starts," said Sweetie Bell. With that they all set off inside Town Hall to get a seat for the big fighting tournament. Once inside Tails and Nyx stared in aw of how big the place was. There were banners, pictures of fighting champs, football champs, basketball champs, and much more including antic stores. "Wow, look at all of this cool stuff," said Nyx. "Yeah, who knew that there would be all of this stuff in here," said Tails. Just then they made it to the ticket booth. "Well welcome, are you all here for the fight today?" Asked the ticket clerk. "Yes we are," said Sunset. "Alright so where do you want to be at?" The ticket clerk asked. "We need nine tickets for the lowest row please," said Sunset. The clerk looked into her papers and said. "Your in luck we have nine ticket left for the lowest row, and that will cost you a thousand dollars." Sunset looked in her pockets to see if she had any money, only to find out that she had two hundred dollars. So she looked at her friends to see if they had any money. When her friends checked their pockets Fluttershy found eighty dollars in her pockets, Tails found fifty dollars in his pockets, Rarity found four hundred dollars in her pockets, Pinkie pie found eighty dollars in her pockets, Nyx looked in her pockets and found fifty dollars, Applebloom found forty dollars in her pockets, Sweetie Bell had forty dollars, and Scootaloo had twenty dollars. Once they saw that they had enough money they gave it to Sunset and then she gave the money to the ticket clerk. "Thank you very much miss, now just wait until I get your tickets." When the ticket clerk gave the nine tickets to Sunset, then she, and the others went in to find their seats for the tournament. When they got inside they saw that the arena was almost full. "Wow it looks like that they are almost ready to start," said Fluttershy. "Yep it looks like it Fluttershy," said Pinkie pie. Just then, as soon as they sat down the lights dimed and a man with a ref shirt came into the ring ans said in a loud voice. "Hello ladies and gentle man and welcome to Town Hall for this years sixteen men fighting tournament, so please welcome this years fighters Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Razor, Lightning, Blade, Rollin Steel, Cody the Crusader, Joey the avenging angle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles and the undefeated Iron Will." Just then after he got done announcing them Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Razor, Lightning, Blade, Rollin Steel, Cody the Crusader, Joey the avenging angle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles, and Iron Will came out to the arena, into the ring and waved at the crowd. "Wow it looks like we are going to have a good fight coming up," said Pinkie Pie. "Yep and even a human version of mine, Nyx, Sonic, and Shadow's friend Knuckles is going to be in the fight," said Tails. "So I'm guessing the guy with the red hair is Knuckles?" Asked Applebloom. "Yep, that's right," said Nyx. Just then they caught a glimpse of Iron Will. "Wow and look at the size of that guy," said Scootaloo. "Yeah, that guy looks like he could be trouble for our friends," said Sunset. "I hate to say it but I think your right darling," said Rarity. As Spitfire, Sorin, Pete Steel, Rollin Steel, Razor, Lightning, Cody the Crusader, Blade, Joey the avenging angle, Flash, Sonic, Shadow, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Knuckles, and Iron Will left the ring the guy in the ref shirt stepped back in and said. "Well ladies and gentile man it is now time for the tournament to cements now." As soon as he said that then spot lights came on and the fighting music came on to single the beginning of the tournament. "Well it looks like their starting now," said Nyx. "This is going to be so much fun," said Pinkie pie. Then they heard a guys voice on the intercom. "Hello and welcome to Town Hall ladies and gentile man. So I hope you all are ready for this sixteen fighters tournament for the first fight of the day is Sonic facing off against Rollin Steel." When he got done announcing the first fighters names, Sonic and Rollin Steel walked out to the arena and into the ring. "Hey look, Sonic is fighting first," said Tails. "Yeah and he's facing that Rollin Steel guy," said Applebloom. "I've heard of him. He and his brother Pete Steel are both good fighters but sometimes they are arrogant," said Rarity. In the ring Rollin Steel looked at Sonic and said. "Well, Well it looks like I have a rat for my first opponent." Even though Sonic was a human now, he still disliked the word ‘rat'. "Oh yeah? Well this rat is going to whip your butt puck," said Sonic. "Why you little," said Rollin, as he got in the face of Sonic. Before it could get out of hand the guy with the ref shirt jumped in to break them up. "Ok you guys save it for the fight." "Wow these two are ready to get it on here and now," said the announcer. After they settled down the ref motioned for the bell to ring. "Well it looks like the ref is signaling for the bell to ring which means that the match starts now," said the announcer. The bell sounded and Sonic and Rollin were off fighting. As Rollin charged at Sonic, he suddenly disappeared. "Hey, where did you go you little rat?" Asked Rollin, as he was looking around. Just the he felt a tap on his shoulder and as he turned around and saw Sonic right behind him. "But how did you do that?" Asked Rollin. "Easy," said Sonic, as he made a fist. "I'm the fastest thing alive." With that he punched Rollin and he went down hard. "Holly cow and with one punch Rollin is down and out and your winner for the first round is SONIC," said the announcer. When everybody saw what Sonic did they all were shocked excepted Sunset, Nyx, Tails, Pinkie pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo. "Wow, how did that Sonic kid do that?" Asked a fan. "I don't know but it was something," said another. Just then everybody started cheering Sonic's name, all excepted for four who were setting in the most darkest row of the arena. "So I'm guessing that, that spiky blue hair boy is Sonic the hedgehog?" Asked Adagio. "Yes, him and Shadow are very powerful so you need to watch out," said Chaos Phantom. "Well I think he's kind of cute," said Sonata, looking at Sonic with love in her eyes. "Oh shut up Sonata," said Aria. As the tournament continued Knuckles defeated Joey the avenging angle, Rainbow defeated Spitfire, Iron Will defeated Sorin, Flash defeated Razor, Cody the Crusader defeated Lightning, Shadow defeated Pete Steel, and Applejack defeated Blade. "Well ladies and gentile man what a awesome first round for these great fighters. Now we will take a twenty minute break and then we will start the second round," said the announcer. After that everybody left to get something to eat and go to the restroom. Meanwhile in the locker room Sonic, Shadow Rainbow Dash, Flash, and Applejack were celebrating on their wins in the first round of the sixteen fighter tournament. "Oh wow Sonic, that was so awesome," said Rainbow. "Yeah it was," said Sonic. "I still can't believe it took you just one punch to knock out Rollin," said Flash. "Yeah Sonic, good job," said Applejack. Just then Iron Will came up to them and said. "Ha, so you beat Rollin Steel with one punch, but I have won with one punch too before." "Oh yeah? Well what about I show you what I'm truly made of?" Asked Sonic, as he went up to Iron Will's face. "Whoa take it easy Sonic," said Rainbow Dash. Iron Will laughed and said. "You better lesion to your friend their rat because I want you to be still concuss to see me beat her in our match after yours against Knuckles." After hearing that Rainbow Dash turned her attention to Iron Will and said. "Oh yeah? Well why you just bring it on right now?" Before Iron Will could say anything Knuckles stepped in. "That is enough Iron Will." "Or what Knuckles? You try to stop me by fighting me before yours and the rat's fight?" Asked Iron Will. "Just leave them alone now," said Knuckles angrily. "Fine," said Iron Will and with that he stormed off. After Iron Will left Knuckles turned back at Sonic and the others. "Thanks Knuckles, for helping us out with that big brut," said Applejack. Knuckles smiled at the farm girl, just then the guy with the ref shirt came in. "Alright Sonic and Knuckles, it's time for your match." As Sonic and Knuckles came out to the arena and into the ring everybody cheered. "Well you ready for this Knuckles?" Asked Sonic. "I'm always ready for a fight Sonic," said Knuckles. With that they shook hands and then the ref signaled the bell to ring for the first fight of the second round. As Knuckles charged at Sonic, he dogged and the he grabbed Knuckles' leg and then through him down the mat. Then Sonic climbed up on the turnbuckle and then took off, but before he could hit Knuckles, he got up and grabbed Sonic and punched him in the face and then in the stomach. "Wow what a match this is, Sonic and Knuckles, are evenly matched in this fight," said the announcer. As the match continued Sonic and Knuckles were tired but not nether one of them wanted to give up. "Your....tuff....Knuckles," said Sonic. "So....are....you.....Sonic, but....now....this....fight....is....over," said Knuckles, as he charged right at Sonic. Just then before Knuckles could finish off Sonic, he ducked under Knuckles and gave him a hard punch in the gut. After that Knuckles fell down to the canvas KO'ed. "Oh man it's over the winner is Sonic," said the announcer. "Oh wow, what a fight," said Sunset. "Yeah no kidding," said Rarity. "That's our Sonic," said Tails. "Wow that Sonic dude is something else," said a fan. "Yeah, Knuckles gave him more then a challenge then Rollin did," said another. Then Sonic walked up to Knuckles who was starting to regain concuss and helped him up. "You ok Knuckles?" Asked Sonic. "Yeah, I'm fine," said Knuckles. With that Sonic helped Knuckles back to the locker room with the crowd cheering. "Man ladies and gentile man, now that is some sportsmanship from the winner Sonic," said the announcer. As Sonic and Knuckles made it to the locker room Flash came up to them. "Here Sonic let me help you," he said, as he put Knuckles arm around him. "Thanks for this," said Knuckles. "It's not a problem Knuckles," said Flash. As Sonic and Flash put Knuckles down to rest Iron Will came up to them. "Well, well it looks like I know who my next opponent is." "Hey you jerk, you still have Rainbow Dash to deal with," said Sonic. "That's right you punk," said Flash. "Ha, that girl doesn't scare me. Once I beat her I will see you in the final four you rat," said Iron Will. With that he left to get ready for his match for Rainbow Dash. "Oh that Iron Will is getting under my skin," said Shadow angrily. "Take it easy Shadow, and don't worry Rainbow Dash will take care of that big bully," said Applejack. "That's right, I'll make sure that he begs for mercy," said Rainbow Dash. Just then the guy in the ref shirt came in the looker room. "Alright now, will Iron Will and Rainbow Dash please come to the ring now." "Well wish me luck you guys," said Dash. "You'll do fine Rainbow," said Sonic. "Sonic is right, you'll do just fine," said Shadow. "Now go and teach that guy some manners," said Applejack. Dash smiled and then left for the ring. Meanwhile Sunset and the others were talking until they saw Rainbow Dash and Iron Will coming to the ring. "Well here we go, Rainbow Dash and Iron Will. This is going to be some fight," said Sunset. "Yes this is going to be so much fun," said Pinkie Pie. "Yeah Rainbow Dash is going pound that guy," said Scootaloo. "I just hope Rainbow can do it," said Sweetie Bell. Just then the bell for the match rang then Rainbow and Iron Will went at it. "Alright you big ape, I think it's time for you to get a beating," said Dash. "An ape am I now? Well just for that girl I'll show you some respect," said Iron Will. With that Iron Will charged right at Rainbow. "Alright lets do it," said Rainbow. (Super Buu theme from Dragonball Z starts to play) With that she ran right at Iron Will, as the competitor's came close to one another Rainbow Jumped up into the air and was about to kick Iron Will. But Iron Will dogged it and then did a spin kick which connected to Dashes face, Dash went down with a hard thud which made everyone in the arena gasp in shock. Even Sonic, Shadow, Applejack, Flash, and Knuckles looked on in horror of what Iron Will did. "Well little girl it looks like your out already but I'm not done with you yet," said Iron Will. With that he kept on bitten up Dash with no sign of letting up. "Oh man, Iron Will is dominating this fight. And Rainbow Dash doesn't seem to be fighting back," said the announcer. As Iron Will continue to hurt Rainbow, the crowd started to boo. "Hey that Iron Will guy is going way too far on that girl," said a fan. "Ref, stop the match will ya. That rainbow girl can't fight no more," said another. "Oh man Rainbow Dash, is getting pommeled," said Tails. "Yeah somebody has got to stop this," said Nyx. "Oh I can't look," said Fluttershy, as she covered her eyes. "Hay you big bully stop hurting Dash," said Scootaloo, as she started to go over the railing. But before she could Rarity stopped her. "Scootaloo, you can't go down there," she said. "Rarity is right Scootaloo, if you go down there then you'll get hurt," said Sunset. "But what about Rainbow Dash?" Scootaloo asked. "There is nothing we can do Scootaloo," said Pinkie Pie. Meanwhile in the locker room Sonic, Shadow, Flash, Knuckles, and Applejack looked on at the beating that Iron Will was putting on Rainbow Dash. "Oh man Rainbow Dash, is in trouble," said Flash. "Yeah somebody has got to stop this," said Applejack. Just then Sonic got up. "Well if no one is going to do anything then I will," He said, as he started to head to the arena. But before he could get to the arena to stop Iron Will, Shadow stepped in and grabbed Sonic and said. "Sonic, no you can't go out there." "But Shadow, what about Dash?" asked Sonic. "Lesion to me Sonic, I know how your feeling right now but if you go out there now you will be disqualified from this tournament," said Shadow. "I don't care about this stupid tournament all I care about is helping Rainbow, and that is what I'm going to do," said Sonic as he got Shadow off of him and then he punched him in the gut. After that he went to help Rainbow Dash, but when he got there he saw Rainbow being helped on a stretcher with Tails, Nyx, Sunset, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Pinkie pie, Rarity, and Fluttershy by her side. (Music ends) "RAINBOW!!" shouted Sonic as he hurried to her side. When Sonic made it to Rainbow's side she didn't look very good. "Please sir you need to move back so we can work on her," said the paramedic. "Please tell me this. Will she be alright?" Sonic asked. The paramedic shook his head and said. "I'm not sure, she really took a beating but we will try our best to make her better again." Just before they took her to the infirmary Rainbow stopped them. "Wait please let Sonic come with me," she said weakly. The paramedic's tried to object but then they saw Rainbow glaring at them. "Alright he can come," said the female paramedic. Before Sonic left with them Scootaloo stopped him. "Hey Sonic?" "Yeah Scootaloo?" "When your match with Iron Will starts show him one for," Sonic looked at Scootaloo and smiled. "Don't worry Scootaloo, he will pay." With that he left to catch up to Rainbow Dash. "Well come on you guys lets get back to our seats," said Sunset. "Alright," they all said. Meanwhile in the looker room Iron Will was still celebrating his domination on Rainbow Dash. "HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That girl was weak, I can't believe she thought that she could beat me." Just then Shadow, Flash, and Knuckles came up to him. "Well, well, well, if it isn't the losers and where is that rat?" Asked Iron Will. "First of all he is not a rat his name is Sonic," said Shadow. "And second his in the infirmary with Rainbow Dash the one you hurt out there," said Flash. "You have gone too far this time Iron Will," said Knuckles. Iron Will just laughed and said. "You all are just too weak to fight me." "Oh yeah well guess what pal Sonic is going to mop the floor with you," said Shadow. After hearing that Iron Will made a mockery of what Shadow just said. "Oh, oh no somebody help me I'm so scared." Before Shadow could retaliate the ref came in and called for the next fighters to come out to the arena. Meanwhile in the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow who was still badly hurt were watching the fights on the TV. "So Sonic, who's fighting next?" Asked Dash. "It looks like Flash is next Rainbow," said Sonic. As they continued to watch the tournament on TV, Flash defeated Cody the crusader and in the next match Shadow defeated Applejack. After that Flash, Applejack, and Shadow went to see Rainbow and Sonic before his match with Iron Will. "How are you feeling surgarcube?" Applejack asked Rainbow. "Like I got run over by a truck," joked Rainbow. "Yeah you sure look like it," said Shadow. Then everybody started to laugh, just then the Knuckles came in the infirmary. "Sonic? It's time for your match with Iron Will." When Sonic heard this he nodded and then left the infirmary to the arena. to make Iron Will pay for what he did to Rainbow Dash. "Well ladies and gentile man here we are in the finale four and up first is Sonic going up against the undefeated Iron Will," said the announcer. When Sonic came out to the arena everyone cheered and shouted. "GO SONIC!!!!" But when Iron Will came to the arena the crowd booed and started to throw paper cups and stuff at him and then they started to shout. "GET HIM OUT OF HERE!!" said one. "YEAH, HE DOESN'T BELONG IN THIS TOURNAMENT!!!!" said another. Just then Sunset, Pinkie pie, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, Scootaloo, Tails, and Nyx also joined in. Hearing everybody booing and seeing them throwing stuff at him made Iron Will very mad and then he shouted. "HOW DARE ALL OF YOU PEOPLE. IRON WILL, WILL SMASH ALL OF YOU AFTER I TAKE CARE OF THIS RAT!!!!" Hearing the name rat again made Sonic roll his eyes. "How many times I have to tell you? I'm not a rat," he said angrily. "Well Kid get ready for a big beat down," said Iron Will, as he prepared to fight Sonic. Sonic smiled and said. "Alright then, lets do this Iron Will." Just then the bell rang and the match was on. "Ok rat, here I come," said Iron Will, as he charged right at Sonic. But just then he yelled out in pain, everybody looked and saw Sonic's elbow in the gut of Iron Will that made their mouths hang open. "Wow that was fast I couldn't fallow it," said Sunset. "Yeah, no kidding," said Applebloom. In the locker room everybody except for Shadow, Applejack, and Flash had their mouths opened as well. "How in the world did Sonic do that?" Asked Knuckles. Back in the ring Sonic moved away from Iron Will who was still groaning in pain and said. "Sorry about that, I saw an opening that shorted to scream out attack. So I did." Just then Iron Will fell down and showed no sign of getting up. Everyone looked in amazement, the unbeaten Iron Will had finally lost a fight. Then everyone stated to cheer for Sonic for finally defeating Iron Will. "Wow unbelievable, Sonic has defeated the unbeaten Iron Will and he will be facing either Shadow or Flash Sentry in our next fight," said the announcer. After that Sonic Left the arena and went back to the infirmary, when he got their he saw the others waiting. "Hey there's the one who beat the undefeated Iron Will," said Flash. "Yeah, way to go Sonic," said Applejack. "I knew you could do it Sonic," said Rainbow. "Good job," said Shadow. Just then Knuckles came up to Sonic and asked. "How in the world did you beat that guy? I mean I can understand beating Rollin Steel with one punch but Iron Will?" "Well what can I say? I'm just that good," said Sonic. Before Knuckles could say anything else the ref came into the room and said. "Hey Flash, Shadow? It's time for your guys' match." With that Flash and Shadow said their goodbyes' and headed to the arena. As they came to the arena their was a mix of cheers for Shadow and Flash. "Well this is it Shadow, are you ready?" Asked Flash. "Yeah, I'm ready Flash, and don't worry I'll go easy on you," said Shadow. "Thanks man." Just then they heard the bell ring and then they started their fight with one another. Shadow and Flash started to circle one another until Shadow ran right at Flash and started his attack on him. But before Shadow could get a hand on him Flash moved out of the way and hit him in the back of the head with his elbow. Shadow shook it off and charged at Flash again and this time when Flash tried to doge him Shadow ducked and then did a spin kick that connected to Flash in the back of the head. "Wow what a fight this is turning out to be, Shadow and Flash Sentry are really going at it here. This is going to be a great final four match up between these two," said the announcer. As the match continued Shadow and Flash were slowly getting up after they hit each other hard. "Man Shadow, even when your not fighting me with all of your power your still giving me a run for my money," said Flash, walking to Shadow who was still down. Shadow looked up at his friend and smiled. "Thanks, your not so bad yourself Flash." Then, without warning Shadow did an upper cut to Flash, which made him go up in the air, and then he used chaos control to teleport up in the sky and then he put his hands together and knocked Flash back down to the mat. "Wow, unbelievable Shadow has just knocked out Flash Sentry, and that means that in our last match we will have Sonic vs. Shadow," said the announcer. In the stands Sunset, and the others had weird expressions on their faces. "Wow Flash, never saw that coming," said Nyx. "Yeah, no kidding," said Tails. "I know one thing Flash, is not going to be happy about this," said Rarity. "But hay we are going to have a brother vs. brother match you guys," said Pinkie. After she said that everybody excepted for Applebloom, Sweetie Bell, and Scootaloo face palmed. "Pinkie? Remember they are not brothers," whispered Sunset. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that," said Pinkie. In the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow saw the whole thing. "I can't believe that Shadow tricked Flash, like that," said Dash. "Well that's Shadow, for yeah. He always pretends that you have beaten him but then he comes back and gets ya," said Sonic. "I see," said Dash. Back in the ring Shadow, came up to Flash who was slowly getting up. "You ok Flash?" Shadow asked. As Flash got up he slapped him a crossed the face. "Hey what was that for?" Shadow asked, as he rubbed his cheek. "That was for tricking me to think I won against you," said Flash. Shadow just laughed and said. "Well it was your lost." With that Shadow left the ring with Flash right behind him. Back in the infirmary Sonic and Rainbow Dash continued to talk about Flash and Shadow's fight until they arrived in the room. When they did Sonic and Dash saw that Shadow had a big lump on his head. "Hey Shadow, what happen to you?" Asked Sonic. Shadow, pointed at Flash and said. "Flash here hit me on the head with a pipe." After hearing this Sonic and Rainbow Dash, laughed. "Well I'm sure that will that will teach you for tricking Flash, like that Shadow," said Dash. "Whatever," said Shadow. "So anyway Shadow, are you ready for out match?" Asked Sonic. "Ha, you know I'm ready for our match Sonic." "Good because I'm going to win." "No Sonic, I'm gonna win." Just then they started arguing until the ref came into the room and said. "Sonic, Shadow? Its almost time for your match." "Ok we will be right there," they said together. Meanwhile Chaos Phantom, Adagio, Sonata, and Aria were getting ready to watch the finals of the sixteen fighters tournament. "So Sonic and Shadow, have made it to the finals," said Chaos. "You were right about Sonic and Shadow," said Adagio. "Yeah, no kidding even that Sonic guy who took Iron Will down so easily," said Aria. Just then they saw Sonata looking in the binoculars at someone. "Hey Sonata? Who are you looking at?" Aria Asked. "Oh I'm just looking at that sweet boy with two pony tails in his hair," Sonata said. "WHAT?!" Adagio and Aria, they asked together. "Oh nothing," Sonata said, as she tried to put away her binoculars. But before she could Adagio grabbed them out of her hands and look to see the boy. "That kid with those guys?" Adagio asked. "Yes, isn't he something? Sonata asked. "Let me see," Said Chaos Phantom. As Adagio gave him the binoculars and he looked at the boy. "That is Tails, another friend of Sonic," he said. "Are you serious Sonata? First Sonic, and now this boy named Tails?" Asked Adagio. "What? I'm a girl, it's not my fault that I like boys," she said. "Sonata?" Asked Aria. "Yes Aria?" "YOUR AN IDIOT!!!!" Just then they saw Shadow and Sonic coming out to the ring, knowing that the final match was about to begin. "Well Shadow, this is it," said Sonic. "Yep, you and me in the finals," said Shadow. (Live and Learn from Sonic Adventure 2 starts to play) After that the bell rang and the finals were on. "Alright Shadow, ready or not here I come," said Sonic, as he ran right at him. "Oh, I'm ready," said Shadow, as he ran right at Sonic. As the two charged at each other Shadow did some fast kicks and punches. Sonic manages to dodge most of them, but failed to dodge the last few attacks. “C’mon Sonic, is this the best you got? Asked Shadow. "No, it's not," said Sonic, as he punched Shadow in the gut and then hit the back of his head with his elbow. As the match continued to get more serious the crowd was starting to enjoy it more. "Holy moly, this is turning out to be one huge fight in this final match in this tournament ladies and gentile man," said the announcer. Shadow was slightly impressed by Sonic’s determination and will to continue to fight. Shadow grinned a little to show Sonic it was time to get serious. “Alright Sonic, it’s time to kick it up a notch.” Shadow said, as he summoned the seven chaos emeralds. "NO SHADOW, WAIT!!!!!" Shouted Sonic. But it was too late Shadow, had just used the chaos emeralds to transform into his super form and when he did Tails, Nyx, and the others look on in disbelief. "Shadow, you idiot. Why did you do that?" Asked Tails. "Yeah, you were not suppose to show your powers here," said Nyx. "Why did Shadow transform?" Asked Sunset. Tails looked at Sunset and said. "So that he can beat Sonic." "Wow Shadow looks cool with yellow and red strike hair," said Scootaloo. "Yeah, he dose," said Sweetie Bell. When the crowd saw Shadow, transform they couldn't believe what they were seeing. "Wow look at that," said a fan. "Yeah, that Shadow dude now has yellow and red strike hair," said another. Back in the ring Shadow came up to Sonic who was trying to get up. "Well Sonic, shale we get started with round two?" He asked. Sonic, looked up at Shadow and smiled. "Alright, let round two comments." Just then Sonic transformed into his super form as well and then he charged at Shadow. "Oh great, now Sonic transformed," said Tails. "Well so much for keeping a low profile here," said Nyx. Rarity looked at Tails and Nyx, and said. "Don't worry you two I'm sure everything will be just fine." "Rarity, is right you guys everything will be just fine," said Pinkie. As the fight continued Sonic and Shadow, were evenly matched. "Well Sonic, you have gotten more powerful since the last time we fought," said Shadow. "Thanks Shadow, your not so bad yourself," said Sonic. Just then Sonic, punched Shadow in the stomach hard and then he used his super sonic wind which made contact with Shadow. "Wow what a move by Sonic, Shadow is down and I think he's not going to get up from that one. And here comes the ref to check if Shadow, can still fight and the ref is saying that Shadow, is down and out and the winner of the sixteen fighters tournament is Sonic," said the announcer. (Music ends) After they heard that the crowd cheered for Sonic, the champion of the sixteen fighters tournament. As Sonic powered down he went over to Shadow, who was just starting to get up. When Shadow looked up at Sonic, he saw that Sonic put his hand out to help him up. "You alright Shadow?" Asked Sonic, as he helped him up. "Yeah, I'm fine Sonic, and congrats on your win," said Shadow, and then he raised Sonic's hand up and when he did that the crowd lost it. "Wow can you believe what that Shadow dude is doing," said a fan. "Yeah, now that's what I call sportsmanship," said another. Even Sunset, Tails, Nyx, Fluttershy, Pinkie pie, and Rarity were pleased. "Wow what a match," said Sunset. "Yes, very good," said Rarity. "Oh, I'm so proud of them both," said Fluttershy, with tears in her eyes. Back in the ring the ref came in and presented Sonic with the trophy and the two million dollars. Back up in the stands Chaos Phantom and the sirens got up and started to leave. (Big Boo's Haunt from Super Mario 64 starts to play) "You were right, about those two Chaos Phantom," said Adagio. "Yeah, that was some power they have there," said Aria. "Yes, and now we go to our hide out so we can plain our attack agent them," said Chaos. "Hey, where's Sonata?" asked Adagio. As soon as she said that then Sonata came out of the arena. "Where have you been?" asked Adagio. "Oh I just went down to the first floor to get Sonic's autograph see," said Sonata, as she reviled a picture of Sonic with his name on it. "Sonata, sometimes you can be such a looser," said Aria. "Hey, I am not a looser Aria," The two of them argued until Chaos Phantom, stopped them. "Alright, you two that is enough now lets go and think of what we can do to get rid of Sonic, Shadow, and their friends alright." With that they set off to their hiding place to think of a plain to beat Sonic and Shadow once and for all. (Music ends)
