Chapter 16: Begin the Tournament - Fighter Reunion


The big day had finally come. The tournament was scheduled to start today.
Amy, Cream and Rouge had undergone a hard training program for the remaining days, before the tournament.
And now they could see how great they've become...

Amy got up early at around 5:30 AM. It was just sunrise at that time.
She had breakfast as she always had. Again she made sure to keep it as healthy as possible.
The breakfast was followed by a few training exercises, which she also does every morning.
'So finally the time has come.' she said to herself, while was doing her training. She was filled with excitement.
Every challenge she encountered and every fight she had fought... It was always exciting and enjoyable for her.
Of course the tournament was like the top of the mountain for her. With so many challenges at one day...
She couldn't wait for it to happen. That again reminded her of something...
As a fighter she enjoys every moment of a fight. Every hit she has delivered, every blow that hit her and every attack that she managed to block...
All of that... all of it, is what makes fighting so exciting and enjoyable for her.
And she knew that neither Cream nor Rouge or any other fighter she encountered felt any different.

After snapping out of her thoughts, she decided to train a little further. She did a few more exercises.
Better be sure...
...


2 hours later at Cream's place...

'Cream! The breakfast is ready!' Vanilla shouted. But there was no reaction. Which wondered Vanilla and she went upstairs.
'Cream?' she said one more time. Hoping for her to hear that too. Again, there was no reaction. Vanilla went into her room.
But Cream wasn't there. Cheese however was sleeping in her small Chao-Bed. Vanilla left the room as quietly as possible, trying not to wake her.
After slowly closing the door, she felt a slight breeze. It could only mean one thing... The door to the roof was open!
Vanilla slowly went upstairs and indeed, the door was opened a bit. She slowly went to the door and looked outside, through the slightly opened door.

Cream was already awake and in her usual clothes. The High School clothing and her favourite gloves.
And like we should expect from a fighter, she was training too. She was performed some of her moves.
She always did that, before she finished her training. Vanilla smiled and went back down.
As she passed Cream's room, she heard someone yawning from inside her room. She went back into Cream's room and noticed that Cheese had woken up.
Cheese started to fly and yawned one more time. She then rubbed her eyes a bit. 'Good morning, Cheese.' Cheese instantly turned to Vanilla, as she heard her.
The chao smiled and bowed down a bit. It was her way of saying 'Good Morning', since she can't talk.
'Can you do me a favor?' Vanilla asked. Cheese nooded and was willing to help. 'Breakfast is ready. And Cream is doing her usual thing. Can you tell her for me?'
Cheese surely was willing to do that. But she also wondered why Vanilla couldn't do it herself. 'I don't want her to know, that I know about her little secret.' was Vanilla's reply and she winked.
She understood that and winked back. She flew up to the roof, while Vanilla went back down to the dining room.

'Chew chew!' Cheese let out her Chao-sounds as she approached Cream. Of course, Cream noticed her.
She had a happy face, as she saw Cheese. 'Morning, Cheese.' She gave Cheese a hug. They still were great friends.
As she let go of Cheese, she let out her Chao-sounds again. 'What is it?' Cream asked. Cheese pointed downwards.
'Is breakfast ready?' Cheese nooded at that reply. Cream smiled. 'Okay, thanks.' Cheese was pleased.
'Okay, let's eat then.' Cream said. Cheese flew through the door and downstairs to the dining room.
Cream followed her, but stopped before the door. She faced the wall. 'One more time.' Cream then slammed her head into the wall.
She held her head to check whether her head was injured. But it wasn't. She then slammed her head into the wall again. This time, three times in a row.
And again, she checked her head for injuries. But again, there were none. And she didn't feel any pain either.
Cream smiled. 'Just perfect.' she then left the roof and closed the door behind her.
There was a mirror in her room. She entered and room and looked into the mirror. And there wasn't even a bruise. Just a little dust.
Probably tiny shavings that came from the wall, which she tried her headbutt on.

'Hey, Cream. Are you there?' Vanilla asked one more time. 'Coming!' Cream shouted back down. She left her room and went downstairs.
Vanilla was pleased to see her. 'Finally. I thought you were still sleeping.' Cream put up an embarrassed smile. 'Sorry to have kept you waiting.' she apologized.
Today's breakfast was bread with a new sort of jelly, milk and cereal again.
Just like Amy, Vanilla always tried her best to make the breakfast as healthy as possible.
Cream and Cheese sure liked this breakfast. Vanilla was happy to see that, especially how well they liked the new jelly.

After they were done with breakfast, Cream and Cheese helped out Vanilla with the washing-up, like they always did.
'So Cream. Today will be that tournament, right?' Vanilla asked. 'Yes.' Cream was already excited.
'When and where will it he held?' Vanilla wondered. 'Somewhere in Astry Plains around 11:00 AM, I think.' she explained.
It surprised Vanilla to hear Astry. 'Astry? That's not close to Station Square, is it?' But Cream didn't mind. 'No. But if we take the train, we should be there in about 30 minutes.'
Vanilla then remembered the train station. She almost slapped her forehead. How could she forget about that?
'Are you coming too?' Cream wanted to know. Vanilla wasn't sure. Fighting wasn't her thing, yet she didn't want to miss that, if her daughter was participating.
But she quickly made up her mind. 'Of course, I will.' Vanilla smiled. Cream was happy to hear that.
Even though she knew that Vanilla didn't particularly like fighting, it was a great pleasure to show her skills to her mother.

After the washing-up was done, Cream went outside. She wanted to enjoy the scenery for a change.
It surely was a great view to see everything around in the shine of the morning sun.
The plains with the few houses around Cream's house... Jingo Village and of course, Station Square. A beautiful view.

However, soon Cream got the lust to train again. Especially with such an event coming today...
She trained her punches, kicks and special moves again. Like she did on the roof earlier.
...


Back at Amy's house. It was almost 9:00 AM.
'I better get going.' Amy left her apartment and made her way to Cream.
On her way though, she met someone familiar on the street. 'And we meet again...' a voice said to Amy.
'The pleasure is all mine, Sally.' It wasn't surprising for her. 'So you're on your way to the Astry Plains, I presume?'
But Amy shook her head. 'Not yet. I have to get my friend first.' Sally understood. 'Are you here to fight me?' Amy asked.
Sally declined. 'If it weren't for the tournament, my answer would've been "Yes". But the way things are now, we better keep this for the tourney.'
'Yeah, I guess you're right.' Amy laughed afterwards. Sally couldn't help but to laugh too.
'You've changed, Sally.' Amy blurted out all of the sudden. But surprised and confused Sally. 'What do you mean?' she wanted to know.
Amy then started talking. 'I just remember the time we first met. The first fight between you and me...'
Sally then remembered too. 'Oh that... Yeah, you've beaten me easily and I was so mad. But it made me training even harder.'
Amy nooded. 'And now when I look at you, I can see that you've improved a lot.' Sally was flattered. 'Thanks. But I gotta admit, that I was a fool back then.'
That surprised Amy. 'Back then, I only was thinking of winning. "Either you're a winner or you're a failure" That's what I kept thinking back then.'
Sally closed her eyes and continued: 'But now I've realized. For a true fighter the fight is everything. The outcome... Victory or defeat is irrelevant.'
'Yes, that's the spirit. And as long as you think that way, you will always be able to enjoy fighting.' Amy said and was pleased.
But Sally then wanted to go. 'Let's waste no more time. Go and get your friend. I'll see you at Astry.' 'Alright!' Amy replied.
Both then parted ways... but not for long.
...


Since Amy ran, she reached Cream's house in no time. When Amy made her way to her house, she already saw her in front of it. Training like she usually did.
Amy smiled. '(I already thought she would do this.)' As she came closer to Cream, she eventually greeted her. 'Hey, Cream!' Cream noticed that.
She was happy to see Amy. 'Hi, Amy!' She then ran to Amy and gave her a hug. Both laughed as Amy hugged her back.
'Are you ready?' Amy asked. Cream started to smirk. 'Of course, I am!' She sounded determined and obviously couldn't wait for the tournament to begin.
Amy thought so. She didn't feel any different about this.
'Well, shall we go?' Vanilla asked, who came out of the house. Amy was surprised about that.
'Wait a second. Is your mom coming too?' Cream winked, as she replied: 'You bet!' It was a big surprise for Amy.
Vanilla smiled. 'Fighting may not be my thing. But I still don't want to miss my daughter's performance.'
It was understandable and admirable. And that's why Cream loved her mother so much.
'Okay then. Shall we go?' Amy asked. Cream already was excited. 'Of course!' Vanilla smiled and nooded as a reply.
Amy then turned around and pointed at Station Square. 'Alright. Off we go!'
...


They went for the new Train Station of Station Square. Though since it was at the center of Station Square, it took almost took 1 hour to reach it.
(Refer to 'After 6 Years' - 3rd Chapter for an explanation about the old Station from Sonic Adventure)
As they reached the new Train Station, they enjoyed the view of it. It was big and looked beautiful. Since they seldom get here, they wanted to enjoy the look of the Train Station for a bit.
After some time, Vanilla said: 'Okay then, I am going to get the tickets.' But Amy and Cream held her off. 'There is no need to.' Amy said. That wondered Vanilla. 'Why?'
'Because we have this.' Amy then took out a special ticket out of her pocket. Vanilla was surprised about that. 'What's that?'
Amy gave her wink, as she said: 'This is a special ticket for fighters, who want to participate at the tournament. It allows the owner and up to 5 more persons of his or her choice to take any train to Astry Station and back, after the tournament.'
It surprised Vanilla. But Cream already knew about that. 'Where did you get this?' Vanilla asked. 'Paragon gave it to me. He is the host of this tournament.' Amy explained. But that surprised Cream too.
'You met the host of this tournament?' Amy was slightly embarrassed. 'Sorry about that, Cream. Yes, I met him some time ago. I met a strong rival along with him at that day. And two days ago, I've met him again at the park. And that's when he gave this to me.'
Cream and Vanilla understood. But there was one more thing that got Cream surprised. 'That rival you met at that day... who is it?' Amy was again embarrassed.
'Oh wait, I forgot to tell you that, too? Well, her name is Cissnei and she is an amazing fighter.' Of course, that caught Cream's interest.
Which made her press further. 'Will she participate at the tournament as well?' Amy could literally hear the excitement in her voice. She couldn't wait to meet Cissnei.
Amy smiled and assured her: 'She will. I am sure of it.' Cream was happy to hear that. Amy understood her feelings too well.
'(Of course, it is one characteristic feature of a fighter. Always to look forward to new challenges and strengthen oneself.)' Amy thought.
A moment later, there was an announcement. 'Ladies and Gentlemen. The train headed for the Astry Station, currently stopping at platform 5, will be departing soon. Please be careful when close to the tracks.'
'That's our train!' Cream exclaimed. 'We better hurry.' Vanilla added. Amy and Cream nooded and quickly made their way to the train. It looked somewhat futuristic. No wonder, it was the latest Intercity Train and a really fast one to boot.
It also was very long. But as soon as they entered, they saw how many people were inside. The train was almost completely filled, almost every seat taken.
Sure was a surprise for the girls and watched the scene with wide eyes. 'Do they... all want to go to the tournament?' Cream wondered.
Amy couldn't shake the feeling that this was the case. 'If that's true, then those fighting events are even more popular than I thought.' Amy replied to this.

The conductor came and asked the usual question. 'Excuse me. May I have your ticket please?' Amy instantly replied: 'Oh sure. One moment...' She grabbed inside her pocket once more to take out the ticket.
'Ah, I see. You are one of those too?' the conductor noticed, as soon as he saw the ticket. Amy nooded. 'Those two are with me.' She pointed at Cream and Vanilla, as she said that.
'Understood.' he then validated the ticket. The seat numbers were now written on the ticket as well. After that, he pointed at which direction they had to go.
'Thank you.' Amy said and along with Cream and Vanilla, she made her way to their seats.
On the way though, some weird guys couldn't help but to stare at the girls. Well, they were obviously interested in Amy. Some in Cream too.
Lucky for Vanilla that she was completely ignored.
Fortunately their seats were located in a wagon, were the seats were divided in rooms. Cream and Vanilla entered the room, where their seats were in.
Amy looked out of the window, before she decided to go into the room as well. But as soon as she wanted to go in...

'Hey there, cutie.' one of those weird guys said. Who came along with his two pals. All three of those guys were grinning.
But Amy looked rather annoying. 'What do you guys want?' The guy, who talked to her, came over to her and touched her shoulder. And then took a closer look at her.
'My, aren't you a beautiful chick?' He then looked at her and continued his nonsense: 'How about going on a date with me later? I can show you what I am capable, if you know what I mean.' He then gave her a wink.
Annoyed as she was, she instantly grabbed his hand. 'Huh?' the guy led out. Amy then started squeezing. The guy then had a painful look in his face. He then kneeled down in pain and tried to get free.
Amy then bended over to him and said: 'And I can show you what I am capable of, if you know what I mean.' The guy then shook his head and replied: 'N...No thanks.'
She then let go of him. He was obviously relieved. But also shocked as he saw his hand, which looked like it almost broke. The two guys behind were shocked.
They took a few steps backwards, before they ran away. 'Hey, guys. Wait for me!' the guy shouted and ran after them.
Amy sighed. 'What a bunch of bothersome morons...' She then entered the room and sat down, next to Cream and Vanilla.
They were the only ones in the room, which was fortunate. And after showing what... uhm... Amy is capable of, they were positive that no more weird guys would harass them.
The girls looked through the window and enjoyed the scenery. They talked about it, later about their training and some other personal things, while they waited for the train to arrive at their destination.
...


'We're are now arriving at Astry Station.' an announcer said through the loudspeaker. The girls left their seats and went for the next exit door.
After a while of waiting, the train finally stopped at Astry Station and the train doors opened. They left the train. But a huge mass of people was getting out of the train as well.
'I am starting to think that those people really want to go to the tournament.' Cream said. Amy nooded.
But it didn't really matter. They've made their way outside of the Train Station. Astry City was a city like Station Square.
The buildings however were not that high and it was much smaller than Station Square.
Attached notes on almost every signpost were showing the way to the tournament grounds. They followed the direction of the signposts.

It didn't take long, until they ended up being outside of the city. They were now walking up a hill... along with a huge crowd.
Now there was no longer any doubt about this. All those people were really headed for the tournament.
But as soon as they were on top of that hill, they were happy with what they saw. 'There it is!' Amy and Cream exclaimed in union.
They could already see the tournament stage and the surrounding buildings and terraces for the audience. And it wasn't too far away.
Amy and Cream started running. 'Hey, wait!' Vanilla shouted after them. But they didn't listen.
Which left Vanilla no choice but to run as well. But it was hard, due her long dress.
...


After 10 minutes, they've finally arrived at the tournament grounds. Amy and Cream enjoyed the view.
But from so close, they now could see that the terraces were foldaway-terraces. But since Amy knew that Paragon wasn't a millonaire or something, she could accept that.
'Finally... made it.' Vanilla said, who was all out of breath and just arrived on the scene. 'Please... never do this again.' Vanilla requested.
Amy and Cream apologized to her. But Vanilla soon regained her smile. Amy and Cream laughed.

'I am glad you came.' someone familiar said. Cream and Vanilla were surprised. But Amy knew him. 'Hey, Paragon.' she greeted him.
Yes, it was Paragon the turtle-mobian. Still wearing his glasses and usual clothing. 'So, are these your friends?' he asked.
Amy nooded. 'Amy and me want to participate.' Cream impatiently said. 'What about her?' Paragon asked. Vanilla shook her head. 'I am just a spectator.'
Paragon placed his hand on the back of his hand. 'Right. You couldn't possibly fight in that outfit. Sorry about that.' he was embarrassed.
But that embarrassment soon faded. Another familiar person arrived. 'Cream!' someone shouted. Cream instantly turned around and saw Angie, along with her mother.
Angie now was dressed differently. She now wore an orange T-Shirt and sneakers, blue shorts and yellow half-finger gloves, like Amy's.
'Wow. I didn't expect you to be here.' Cream was surprised. Angie smiled. 'So you still are wearing your high school clothes in your free time, huh?' she noticed.
Cream nooded. 'Sorry, I just like them that much.' Cream and Angie then laughed. But then Cream noticed something about her clothing... could it be?
'Are you participating, too?' Cream asked surprised. Her mother stepped forth. 'No. We will be just spectating.' she replied.
Cream understood what her mother said. After giving it a second thought, it may really was too soon for Angie to participate in such kind of event.
'Mom. I want to hang out with my friends a little longer. You go ahead.' Angie said. Her mother smiled and replied: 'Okay, honey. I'll get the tickets then.'
Paragon then joined the conversation as well. 'Well, I'll give you this.' He then gave a special ticket to Angie. 'A special ticket, that allows you to go in for free.' Paragon said in a rather silent voice.
He leaned over to them and whispered: 'Please do NOT tell anyone else about this. I don't want to deal with furious people.' Then understood and assured him, that they wouldn't.
Her mother was happy and then went to the counter to buy her ticket. After that, she went onto one of the terraces.

After confirming that her mother was out of sight, she quickly gave the ticket back to Paragon. He was confused, as was the rest of the group.
'What's the matter?' Cream asked. Angie again looked if her mother really was out of sight. It looked like she kept something from her mother.
'My mother had her birthday yesterday. But I didn't have a present for her.' she started to explain. But that caused the rest of the group to become even more confused.
'What do you want to say?' Cream pressed further. Angie then blurted it out. 'I want to fight as well.' They literally freaked out, as they heard this.
Cream wasn't done with her words, just yet. 'But... you've no chance of winning. It might be too hard for you.' Angie knew, but...
'I know what you're thinking. But even if I have no chances of winning, I still want to fight here.' They calmed down a bit, yet still felt quite a shock from that.
'But why?' Cream asked. And Angie didn't hesitate to answer. 'I want to see, if my hard training really paid off. It was good to see that I am no longer a weakling. That I can defend myself against any sadistic freak.
But later, I realized that I didn't want to stop there. You... and Amy... You both inspired me to start my own way of a fighter. And I secretly took on any challenge I could find. They were amateurs and became easy to beat later. But I enjoyed it.
However, I cannot stay at that level forever. I want to go ahead, I want to take on tougher opponents. And this tournament will show how far I've walked and how far I still have to go.'
Amy and Cream were moved by her speech. 'That's the spirit.' Paragon exclaimed. Angie gave them a wink. 'And besides, I still owe my mother a present. And I'll make sure that I show her a great performance.'
They understood. 'But I want it to be a surprise. So please don't tell her.' Angie requested. They all nooded and promised not to tell her mother.
...


'Sorry, I am late.' someone else said. It was Rouge. Topaz was with her as well. 'Hello, Rouge.' Amy and Cream both said at the same time.
They walked over to her. 'Will you two participate as well?' Amy asked. Rouge then replied: 'I will. But I am afraid Topaz won't be able to.'
Amy and Cream looked rather disappointed. 'Why not?' Topaz then explained: 'I am on duty. I lead the police force, responsible for the tournament security.'
It surprised them to hear. 'The tournament on security?' Topaz continued: 'That's right. The Twin Vipers are unpredictable. They might plan an amok run here, considering the popularity of this tournament. We do not want to take any risks and protect the lives of civillians.'
Then it came back to them. The Twin Vipers and the past encounters, that Amy and Cream had with them. Their concern for the safety of civillians was justified.
'But let's not worry about that and leave it in the hands of the police for today.' Rouge said. They agreed.
'I'll watch you.' another familiar voice said. It was Yasu from Cream's school. Rouge was not too happy to meet him again. But Amy, Cream and Angie were okay with that.
Lolitia was there as well. Cream was more than happy to see that. Both wanted to watch the tournament.
However, it was about time to register. They went to the other counter to register themselves for the tournament.
Vanilla went the other way and took her ticket for the terrace...

After Amy, Cream, Rouge and Angie did that, Paragon led the way. 'This way, please.'
He led them to a small building. This area was only for registered participants. No one else was allowed to enter this area.
There were a lot of fighters in there. Most of them were totally unknown for them.
But it didn't take long for Amy and Cream to spot the first two familiar faces. 'Jenny, Jasmine!' The two hedgehog-siblings noticed them instantly.
They were happy and ran over to them. The next face was familiar to Amy. She walked over to a certain yellow dingo.
'Hello, Cissnei.' Cissnei turned around and was pleased to see her. The next fighter was someone that only Cream knew at that time.
'Hey, Jade!' she shouted. Jade instantly turned around and walked over to her, as she noticed who it was.
A person nudged Amy from behind. It was Sally. 'We meet again.' she said. Amy was happy to see her.
Yet another fighter was there that only Cream knew. It was Vicky, the mantis with Kung Fu skills.
The last fighter that was similar to them came over to them. It was Venus.

After all that, they all said hello to each other and explained to each other, where they got to know each other, etc.
With that out of the way, they looked forward to the tournament. 'I just can't wait.' Cream exclaimed.
After all the new friends that she've made just now, it gave her all the more reason to look be impatient.
'Hey, don't forget about us.' yet another familiar voice said. But that was really unexpected.
'Knuckles?!?' Amy and Cream said in union. They were shockingly surprised. But it was even more surprising for Rouge to see who was with them.
'Tikal, Sanda?!? What are you doing here?' Rouge asked. Sanda answered. 'We want to participate at the tournament. What else?'
It was surprising, yet also pleasing to hear. 'Wait. Who is now there to protect the Master Emerald?' Cream asked.
But Knuckles quickly reminded her. 'Have you forgotten? It's no longer there.' Cream then remembered. 'Oh, sure...'
Amy walked over to Tikal. 'Aren't you that echidna girl from the past?' Tikal nooded. 'So, you were recreated, when the Master Emerald disappeared.' Amy said in a questioning way.
Tikal confirmed this. '... at the cost of Chaos's existence.' she added. Amy then saw how unpleasant it was for Tikal to be reminded of Chaos's demise.
At the same time, she remembered everything that happened. It sure wasn't easy for Tikal. So she decided not to talk about this anymore.
'You can fight as well?' Amy asked. Tikal was surprised at first, but soon regained her smile. 'Yeah. As an echidna, it is natural that I can fight. I never did that before though.'
That surprised Amy to hear. 'You had those skills... and never used them?' Tikal nooded. 'I used to hate violence, including martial arts. But now I know that senseless violence and martial arts are not neccessarily the same thing.'
Amy understood and she was happy to hear that. But then another question came into her mind. 'Hey, Knuckles. How did you get here? I thought Angel Island is a floating island.'
But another person answered the question. 'I brought them.' Amy and Cream instantly turned around and saw someone that they missed.

'TAILS!' they both shouted happily. 'I am so glad that you're back.' Cream said.
Tails was happy to hear that. 'I am surprised to see you here.' he said. But he soon added something: 'But then again, you've become quite addicted to fighting. Só it shouldn't be that surprising.'
'Are you here to fight too?' Amy wanted to know. But Tails shook his head. 'No, I am just here to bring Knuckles and his company here and back.'
Tails always was an amazing inventor and technician. But one day he decided to travel around a bit.
BUt unlike Venus, he wanted to improve his skills as a technician and inventor. And now he was finally back.
'But I managed to built an amazing airship. I'll show you later.' he said. 'I am looking forward to it.' Amy said.
Tails gave her thumbs up. But Paragon came over to Tails. 'It was a nice chat. But I am afraid that this area is for registered participants only.'
Tails understood what he wanted to say. 'Don't worry, I'll go.' he said in a nice voice. He then left the area.
...


After that, Paragon walked over to a microphone. He then started his speech.
'May I have your attention, please? First of all, I thank all of you for participating. And I hope you will all enjoy this event, regardless of the outcome.
The preliminaries will start at the area behind me. Only the best 32 fighters will make it into the final rounds, which will be held at the main tournament stage.
You may proceed to the preliminary-grounds. That is all.'
The doors then opened. All the fighters were going through it. After some time, the girl-group was about to go as well. But...
'It's HER!' one of the fighters shouted. At first Amy thought it was a Twin Viper member, who recognized her. But all the eyes were directed at another person.
It was a Tiger-mobian with a red, sleeveless shirt, black shorts, red sneakers and bandages that were formed into gloves around her hands.
Everyone looked at her, most with horrified eyes. She went to the doors, but stopped before she went through them.
'Long time no see.' she said, as she noticed Paragon. 'It's good to see you too. It is too bad that we seldom see each other these days.' he replied.
Marta was a bit embarrassed. 'Yeah, but you know me. I am really busy. Anyway, I am off.' Paragon nooded. 'Good luck.' he said. Marta then went through the doors.

'Who was that?' Amy wondered. 'You don't know?' Cissnei asked. Amy shook her head. Venus then explained to her: 'That was Marta. Champion of multiple fighting events and officially considered to be the best martial artist.'
'The best martial artist you say?' Venus nooded. 'That's right. That's why those guys are so afraid of her. She is that strong.' But hearing that didn't feel Amy with my fear at all.
No, she was even more excited than she previously was. 'If she is that strong, than this tournament will be even more exciting than I thought.' Cream said. 'Right.' Amy agreed.
Unlike the others, Amy, Cream and the other girls in the group considered it to be great honor, to the fight against the strongest martial artist.

Either of those girls couldn't wait anymore. They went through the door to start with the preliminaries.
The fighting had just begun...



TO BE CONTINUED...
Finally, another chapter is up.
It took longer to do it this time.
I am really sorry about that. :dead:


This chapter is about the travel to the tournament grounds and the introduction of its vital participants.


Fighter Profiles:
Angie
Species: Mobian - Hedgehog
Age: 12

Story:
Back then, she used to be a timid high school girl. Abused by the bully Rick.
But after she got to know Cream and her friends, she gained a lot more self-confidence.
After learning basic fighting moves from Cream, she was able to defend herself against any bully she encountered.
However, Cream and her friends also inspired her to become a fighter as well.
Which is why she secretly continued her training and developed her own moves.


Fighting Technique:
Mostly based on Chun Li from Street Fighter.
Though she used her punches a lot more than CL and has her own unique moves as well.


Marta
Species: Mobian - Tiger
Age: 24

Character Changes:
- Outfit slightly changed
- fighting abilities changed
- maybe slight personality changes


Story:
Known as the 'invincible Tiger'.
She was born and raised in Thailio next to Thailio Rock.
And it is a tradition in that village to learn fighting at the age of 4.
Since then, she continued her training. But unlike others, she trained a lot in the wilderness and a lot harder than others.
She developed her own fighting techniques as well.
And she faced a lot of tough challenges throughout her life.
She gained her first champion title in the Metrus Tournament, at the age of 9, making her the youngest champion in history.
And she continued to fight and gain a lot more champion titles.
Thus, she was eventually considered the strongest martial artist in the world.
... and that was justified, every bit.


Fighting Technique:
You can literlly consider her the 'female Sagat', minus the energy projectiles moves, which she isn't capable of doing.
Despite that, she still has a lot of powerful moves at her disposal.
Plus, she knows how to deal with those projectiles.



A few more characters will make their first appearance later on.
I hope you look forward to it.

And now begins the hard part:
Determing a flawless pattern for the tournament.
Urgh, this is gonna suck. But I have to go through that.


If you see errors, feel free to report them to me.
Alas, I am off. Enjoy! :)
