Next up, Knuckles by Herofox (Shadow Fox, Flash, Saber, Hound, Bubble, Storm, Cutter, & Trigger (c) Herofox [that's me!] T2 (c) Noele "Lara-su fan" Carballo.) Last time- Hyper: So does everyone know the plan? Super: Not every one. Storm, Flash, Bubble Saber, T2, and Hound had already gone to train by the time we had discussed it. Shadow Fox: It's about time you arrived gentlemen. So who will my first opponent be? Will it be Sonic? Sonic: You bet it will! (Sonic and Shadow Fox speed up and charge into each other locking hands.) Sonic: Grrr...err... Shadow Fox: Grrr! Grrr! (They both jump into the air. Sonic does a pound on Shadow Foxes back to knock him back down.) (A large number of E-100 fly out from the space station to Station Square.) Sonic: The more time I spend fighting you, the less time I'll have to stop those badniks attacking the city. So I'll have to leave the battle now. Okay Knuckles! It's your turn now! Knuckles: In a while, if you're lucky you'll get to fight someone whose power is just about equal to yours! (The two run at each other) This ep- (Knuckles and Shadow Fox charge at each other and start having a boxing match.) (They punch and block then break away from each other.) CHAOS SPEAR! THUNDER KNUCKLE! (The two attacks cancel each other out and Knuckles charges again, successfully landing a punch on his opponent.) (Meanwhile the audience watches.) Mighty: This fight could last for a while. Shadow Fox is really strong, but Knuckles would never dream of giving up. Vector: Yeah. In every fight he's in he always does his best to come out on top. Charmy: Just like all those years ago when he became Hyper Knuckles for the first time. (Flash backs to the comic book "Super Sonic Vs Hyper Knuckles") Espio: No matter who his challenger is, Knuckles doesn't stop until either he or his opponent is out for the count. Saber: I'm not impressed. From what I have seen, all Shadow Fox needs to worry about is Knuckles electric shock. If he can dodge that, he could take him out in five minutes. Espio: What's that supposed to mean? Saber: Knuckles is holding back cause Shadow Fox used to be his friend. His emotions are making him weak. Mighty: Why don't you say that to his face you long toothed freak?! Saber: Is that a challenge? Mighty: Here's a hint! (Tries to punch Saber but Ray grabs his fist.) Ray: C'mon Mighty! There's no need to fight him, he's not worth it! Mighty (hesitates for a moment): Sure. Whatever you say. (Back to the fight.) FOX TAIL TORNADO! (He creates a vacuum that pulls Knuckles into it. Knuckles opens up his dreadlocks and the tornado blows him into the sky. Shadow Fox flies up after Knuckles who uses Drill claw to smash Shadow Fox down. Shadow Fox kicks Knuckles away while still spinning and he crashes into the side of a building. Knuckles glides out of the wreckage towards Shadow Fox. ) HOWLING STARBEAM! (Knuckles pulls in his dreads, allowing him to fall to the ground and dodge the beam.) Shadow Fox: Well this is an unexpected turn of events. I'd of thought that Sonic would be the toughest out of you two. (Shadow Fox, knowing what will happen to Knuckles when he said that, prepares for the next part of his scheme.) Knuckles: How dare you compare him to me? I am way stronger than him. Shadow Fox: That I can see, but you don't have his brains. (He points behind Knuckles.) (Knuckles turns to find that Shadow Fox had used Chaos control to send a ball of energy far behind Knuckles. He had moments to open his dreads and take off quickly before the blast passed him.) Shadow Fox: if you thought that was good, then take this. CHAOS SPEAR! (Meanwhile...) (Sonic has located the bots.) Sonic: Hey bots! (The bots turn around to see him) Catch me if ya can! Bot 1: HEDGEHOG! PRIORATY ONE! ATTACK! (The bots leave the humans to chase after Sonic.) (Back to the games!) (Knuckles and Shadow Fox continue to fight.) T2: It's hard to believe that's Tails fighting with Knuckles. Hound: I know. I just hope that Knuckles and the others can change him back to the way he was before... T2: You're quite fond of Tails, aren't you? Hound: He's is the closest thing I have to a big brother. He's as smart as Sally and as powerful as Sonic. T2: And he was always so nice with Nage. [her son] Hound: Yeah. He's ...like an Angel. T2: At least he was until Robotnik got his hands on him. (Knuckles lands a punch on Shadow Fox, sending him across the ring.) FOX CLAW ROCKETS!!! (He shoots a barrage of bombs at Knuckles who races through the explosion to punch Shadow Fox once again. Shadow Fox uses Chaos control to teleport high into the sky.) CHAOS DESTROYER!!! (He starts creating a HUGE ball of golden energy.) THUNDER KNUCKLE!!! (He shoots several bolts of lightning at Shadow Fox but he chaos controls to dodge each of them. By this time the chaos destroyer has grown to about the size of a house.) Sally: Shadow Fox wouldn't dare use the Chaos Destroyer from that angle if he's going to put that much power into it. Rotor: Why's that? Sally: He could destroy the entire city with that much energy. Maybe even the world... (Shadow Fox prepares to throw the ball down to Mobius.) Sally: No! Shadow Fox! T2: No! Don't do it! Please Tails stop! (Shadow Fox holds the ball above his head.) Knuckles: No! He wouldn't! (Just then, Shadow Fox used chaos control to vanish from sight.) Knuckles: Huh? Antoine: KNUCKLES BEHIND YOU! (Knuckles turns quickly to see Shadow Fox's growling face. He is ready to drop the ball onto Knuckles. Knuckles grabs his chaos drive just one second before Shadow Fox smashed the massive ball of energy onto him like a ton of bricks.) Sally: Knuckles? (When the dust clears we see Shadow Fox smiling maniacally at Hyper Knuckles who is gasping for breath. Hyper fades back to normal mobian form and collapses face first of the floor.) Shadow Fox: Well well... Looks like I'm too strong even for a super mobian. (He walks over to Knuckles and kicks him out of the ring.) Shadow Fox: So the two toughest good guys have failed to vanquish me. Will anyone else attempt to fill their shoes? Espio: I'll take you on! Shadow Fox: Very brave of you. But it will take more than simple courage to defeat me. (Just then, Metal Sonic, Metal Knuckles, and Metal Tails land in the ring.) Shadow Fox: What's this? M. Knux: What does it look like? It's a challenge! Shadow Fox: All three of you? All bots: Yes! (They dismantle and combine into Omegabot.) Omegabot: It's time, Shadow Fox! Sallys thoughts: This is bad. Even in their Hyper forms, Sonic, Knuckles, and Tails couldn't beat Omegabot. He could really mess up our plan! Shadow Fox: I'll gladly accept! (Shadow Fox and Omegabot look at each other with glowing red eyes.) Next time on Hero Fox, It's a clash of Robotnik's two strongest warriors. But who will win? Non-stop action is guaranteed! Next time on Hero Fox!
