Champions Part Three: Raising the Stakes[]

Synopsis[]

In the recent past, at Casino Park (prior to the events of Sonic Heroes), Dr. Eggman is showing Breezie her city for her Casino Empire, and she thinks it is quite an elaborate death trap for Sonic. However, she calls the doctor's bluff, believing that he is an impostor as the real Eggman would not be so generous. The faux Eggman reveals himself as Neo Metal Sonic and warns Breezie not to tell anyone about him. Breezie finds no point in telling anyone as she has a new capital and lets Neo Metal Sonic know that she does not choose sides but only teams up with those who will make her a profit.

In the present, Bean and Nack are fighting in the Casino Park Arena. Sonic finds the match to be hilarious and entertaining but Tails is not so amused as he is still sore over losing so embarrassingly to Honey. Sonic tells him to forget about this as he has triumphed in many other feats. Tails feels a bit better from this encouragement and continues to watch the match.

Nack has difficulties trying to defeat Bean, even with the use of his blaster and after realizing that Breezie had set the matches up, he forces Bean to pretend as if he lost. Sonic then asks Espio if he felt satisfied with the duck's loss but Espio did not as his loss resulted in him getting yelled at by Vector. Tails confirms that Amy has to fight next and Sonic asks Espio why he could not reserve slots in the tournament for Vector and Charmy as well. Espio replies that he could sneak Knuckles in when he found out that he was already in the area. He also believes that Breezie was messing with the brackets and that Eggman was involved, warning Sonic to keep his guard up.

Amy and Knuckles arrive in the arena for their match. However, Amy overthinks how Sonic would react to her facing the latter in the final battle. While lost in a train of thought, Knuckles powerfully hits the ground, propelling Amy towards a the bleachers at high speed. Due to Amy's ring out, Knuckles wins the match, which earns him glares from Sonic and Tails. The echidna then feels downhearted as he believed that the match had already begun. Shortly after in Amy's medical room, Sonic promises to avenge her but after he deals with Honey.

At the beginning of the match, Honey tells Sonic that she has decided to throw the fight after learning how serious it has become. They both agree to this but Sonic tells her that they still should give the people a show. They begin to fight and Honey puts up quite the challenge for the hedgehog. However, Sonic manages to see through Honey's Shadow Sneak technique and throws the cat out of the ring, winning the match. Meanwhile, Nack asks Bean and Bark how he should deal with Knuckles in his next match. Bark suggests getting into the echidna's head as everyone knew how gullible he was.

In their match, Nack tries to do exactly as Bark suggested he do by trying to feed Knuckles discouraging pieces of advice. Knuckles initially ignores Nack's constant irritation which annoys the weasel and prompts him to repeatedly hit Knuckles with his tail. This leaves a major opening for Knuckles and he proceeds to heavily smack Nack against the floor before throwing him out of the ring. Eggman is seen watching the match and scoffs at the Hooligans to handle any job when Sonic is involved. He then calls Metal Sonic and finds out that the robot will arrive at Casino Park in one hour. He also calls Bean and tells him and his team to begin their back-up plan.

Sonic and Knuckles arrive in the ring, gently taunting each other each. Unknown to them, Nack aims his sniper at the two rivals and bitterly locks onto his targets.
