[Sonaze] Love At The Olympics

The Final Showdown! Pt. 2

Previously on "Love At The Olympics"...

"Nice try, Nega. But you can't outrace this hedgehog!" said Sonic. The evil scientist had a malicious grin on his face once he said that.

"I might not be able to beat you in a race, Sonic. But you might want to take a good look at what Dry Bowser has gotten in his boney grasp!" said Nega. Sonic looked up and was shocked that Dry Bowser had a knocked-out Blaze in his hands.

"BLAZE!" exclaimed Sonic

"Don't worry, hedgehog. She isn't hurt...yet. And she'll remain that way if you give me the Chaos Emeralds you have."

Sonic didn't see any other way out of this because he figured that Mario was still in his cage. He was about to give Nega the Emeralds until a certain someone spoke up.

"Don't-a do it, Sonic," said Mario who just came to.

Present time

"Mario, you're okay!" Sonic said to the plumber. "But how did you-"

"'Break out of the cage'? I had a little help from an old-a friend of mine," said Mario, answering Sonic's question.

"Well I would be delighted to hear it, Mario," Eggman Nega said as he was standing next to Dry Bowser, who still had Blaze in his grasp.

"It-a sounds like we need to rescue your girlfriend, Sonic,"

"Not so fast, Mario!" exclaimed Dry Bowser, who had Magikoopa bring Peach over as captives as well. Now, Mario was mad! Eggman Nega saw that, so he came up with an idea.

"How's about a little sport, you two. Maybe a good game of Ice Hockey? This way, Sonic can truly get some payback for what happened at the Hockey arena!" said Nega.

"Alright, Egghead Nega, you're on!" said Sonic. "If we win, we get your captives back!"

"And if we win, we get the Chaos Emeralds!"

"Deal!" Mario was still hesitant on this deal, even if he knew that he would free Peach again. He also knew that Sonic would already do anything for his friends and since he and Blaze furthered their relationship during these Winter Olympics, Sonic had his own version of Silver's 'Mission Mode'. He would get Blaze back even if it would cost him his life.

Everyone made their way to the Hockey arena. The audience consisted of Bunnie, Sally, Rotor, Tails, Amy, Luigi, and Donkey Kong. In the press box were Rosalina and Elise, who were anxiously waiting for the game to start. Elise prayed that Sonic would come out of it alive.

"Okay, Sonic, how are we going to win-a this one, eh?" asked Mario. Sonic had his trademark 'Sonic Smirk' on his face.

"Easy: we'll just have to beat them like we did Eggman and Bowser. Piece of cake."

"Sonic, one of the people who rescued me said that she knows you and that she hopes you come out of it alive. With Dry Bowser, that won't be easy. Combine that with Eggman Nega's intellect and you've got an even more powerful team than the two we're used to."

"Then it looks like we're going to have to step up our game, Mario." The two teams got ready to play, with Sonic and Dry Bowser meeting at center ice. Dry Bowser managed to swipe it toward Nega, who then aimed his shot after avoiding both heroes. He got the first point of the game for his team. They did the same routine again, this time with Dry Bowser making the shot. Sonic and Mario were having a tough time with this strategy after the villains got two more shots. Sonic met Dry Bowser at center ice for the third time, this time actually stealing the puck from the villains and passing it to Mario, who got the first point for the heroes, making the score 4-1 by the end of the first round.
