The next round is Nack vs Bean as Nack was being chased by Bean with many bombs being thrown at him as he tried to escape from him.

"Dang it, Bean! Knock it off!"

Sonic and Y/N who're back to their normal form started laughing at the hilarious chase.

"I gotta give Breezie props for this round! This is hilarious!"

"Yeah! It's like watching Tom and Jerry!!"

"I should've been down there. I could take either of them..." Tails angrily pouted with his arms crossed.

"Tails..." Y/N frowned to see that he's still upset being eliminated from the last round.

"Oh, come on, bro. Are you still mad about being dumped by Honey?"

"Yes!"

"Why? Win or loose, that's one step closer to the Chaos Emerald."

"Because she made me look like an amateur in front of the whole world!"

Sonic and Y/N went silent while Kirby was busy watching this whole match with a giggle. Sonic wrapped his arm around Tails' shoulder as Y/N patted his head.

"Alright, so that was embarrassing. But everyone knows that you're our go-to guy. What's one fight compared to all the times we've kicked Eggman's butt?"

"Yeah! You're Tails! The kid who keeps us running! Tails! The hero who saved Station Square! Tails! The guy who took one for the team and didn't mope about it all day!"

"Ha—Yeah, yeah, I get it, already. Thanks, Sonic, Y/N. I just feel like I've gotta prove myself sometimes. You're a tough act to follow."

"Yeah, well, I count on you to follow and watch my back."

"But we always count on you and your genius ideas. Don't forget that."

Y/N then placed a kiss on the cheek, making Tails blush.

"Now let's get back to watching Eggman's two stooges!" Sonic grinned, looking back at the match.

"While you guys do that, I'll be ready for my match soon. Catch you guys later."

Sonic and Tails waved her goodbye as she went into the room. Y/N waited, knowing the match will be done soon until she heard the announcement that Nack is the winner. Odd... Oh, well. Y/N then stepped forward to the boxing ring as she saw Amy waiting for her, holding her hammer.

"No hard feelings, right?"

"No worries, sweetie."

Y/N and Amy gave each other a nod before getting into their fighting stance as the bell rung for the match to start. Amy immediately charged her with a battle cry. Y/N stood there calmly without any weapons in her hands as Amy went closer to her until she managed to punch her square in the face.

"Ow!! My face! My beautiful face!" Amy yelled in pain, holding her snout.

"Sorry!" Y/N said through a smile on her face before charging her.

She brought a kick towards Amy who ducked from it and shook her head to ease the pain. Amy swung her hammer towards her torso. Dodging from it, Y/N swiftly went up to her without giving her a chance and karate chopped her neck, causing her to collapse and let go of her hammer. Y/N caught it and placed the hammer on her belly, making her groan again.

"AND THE WINNER BY KNOCKOUT—Y/N!"

"Dang! That was fast!" Tails exclaimed in surprise as Y/N helped Amy up whilst apologizing to her, which was given to the punch in the arm.

"Well, you know where she got it from!" Sonic grinned in proudness. "Whelp! I'm next! Don't worry, bro. I'll avenge you."

"You better!!"

Sonic and Honey's match are next as Y/N watches with interest. Honey flipped him over her shoulder to the ground with a wham. Sonic quickly rolled away just in time from Honey's kick. He quickly spin dashed towards her, which she jumped over him and they fly up in the air and gave each other a kick as their legs crossed. Y/N bounced up and down as Sonic fastly moved away from Honey's rapid punches and then punched her, but instead he hit the air. He looked behind her to see Honey as shadow figures of Honey are surrounding him, but he's not gonna fall for that. He then grabbed Honey by the sleeve before she could try and punch him from behind and flung her up in the air. Sonic is now the winner of the match as Y/N went next and she's up against Knuckles as they face each other.

"Well, well, Knuckles. Nice to see you again." she smirked, twirling her katana.

"Hi, Y/N. Nice of you to come by. Kind of a strange setting, huh?"

The boxing ring they're in are some sort of tropical place with a hint of... romance along with shape of the heart full of pink petals? What kind of boxing ring did Breezie brought? Did she know??

"I guess it's to set the mood? I'm not sure. Don't go easy on me! I don't attend to hold back!"

Knuckles smirked, punching his gloved hand.

"With pleasure."

They turned their back from each other and took a step forward as they waited for their match to start. A minute later, the bell rung and Y/N's ears twitched to hear Knuckles charging her. She smirked and turned and launched herself at the echidna, bringing out her katana, arms vibrating as their katana and the spike on the gloves connected. She jumped back and pushed forward again, aiming towards his hip. Knuckles blocked that with his gloved fist as her attacks were blocked effortlessly. It almost felt as if he was toying with her rather than defending himself. Which she didn't like that as Knuckles was messing with her. Y/N tried to aim for his leg when he deflected another blow with an exaggerated yawn.

"My turn."

Knuckles brought his fists up as they clenched tightly and began a flurry of brutal swings, each of his fists clattering against Y/N's katana. She did her best to hold him off as with each exchange, she found herself taking a step back. She need to stop this as she glanced back at the post and suddenly got the idea. Another step backwards, she removed herself from him and hopped onto the top of the post. Sheathing her sword, her body started to glow as her quills floated in the air, her ruby necklace glowing as she summoned her magic. Knuckles was confused on what she was doing until she brought out a big bright light orb like a sun and lifted it up in the air, blinding him. Once he was distracted, Y/N quickly hopped off of the post to make sure her light stayed there and brought out her pink fan, throwing it towards his chest and knocking him away for a bit. He rubbed his chest in pain whilst trying to get his vision back as Y/N charged him with a battle cry and cartwheel kicked him.

His shoes skidded to a stop and raised his fist to punch her when she grabbed his arm from under, bend it, and then slammed his elbow with her own elbow. Knuckles yell in pain and use his other fist to punch her again when her finger slammed his shoulder to where his pressure point is, causing him to yell again. She then brought her hands together and slammed them against his stomach hard, causing him to go flying. His back was slammed against the post as he grunted from the harsh impact she gave him. Before he could move, Y/N drew out her katana once again, thrusting it towards his neck. He gulped, putting his arms up in surrender.

Knuckles looked around for anything to distract her when his eyes landed on his step brother Kneecaps who's been watching the whole time. He gave him a look with thumbs up as if telling him to do it. What was he going to do?

"Giving up already?" Y/N taunted with a smirk.

"No. But I'm sorry if I'm about to do this."

Y/N's brow furrowed in confusion. But before she knew it, Knuckles forced her weapon down and threw his weight forward and his lips crashed into hers with a bit more force than he had intended. Her surprised yelp was muffled through the kiss as he closed his eyes tightly. He leaned into the contact, angling his face to capture more of her lips. Y/N stiffened in shock as her body relaxes and her katana fell to her side. Pressing his advantage, Knuckles wrapped his arm around her waist while his other hand grasp her wrist gently to where she was holding her katana, still refusing to break the kiss. He forced her backwards for several steps as her back hit against the ropes before he finally pull his face away from hers and open his eyes, looking away in embarrassment as his face was flushed along with hers.

"K-Knuckles..." Y/N stuttered, her grip on her katana failed completely as it thudded against the floor.

The crowd were in shock and awe until they all cheered loudly for the unexpected turn of events, while some are not like Sonic who looks completely red as if the volcano is ready to explode, Tails huffing and puffing angrily, and Espio looking ready to slice Knuckles into pieces with a hint of a flash from his eye. Kneecaps whistled at his bro for a good job while Kirby was speechless as his mouth as wide opened. As for those who're watching this from the TV are Shadow and Rouge who're not happy and wish it was one of them that can kiss Y/N better than Knuckles, and Razor who's growling angrily at Knuckles from the glass ball along with Crusher.

"Sorry, Y/N. But I'm winning this."

Knuckles then shoved her against the rope, causing her to flip backward and fall out of the boxing ring with a soft thud before she could react. Y/N found herself on the sandy ground as she realized what had happened and screamed in embarrassment and anger that she let that happen. He look down at her with a slight smirk.

"When I said I'm sorry, I mean it. I'm just not sorry for kissing you though."

"Y-You...!!"

"AND THE WINNER OF THE ROMANCE—I MEAN—KNOCKOUT—KNUCKLES!"

Everyone let out a cheer again as Knuckles jump down to help her up with a nervous smile. Y/N just glare at him before her expression soften and playfully punch his shoulder for a good fight. He was surprised at first before he smiled, patting her head before taking his leave.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

After a rather hilarious beat down on Nack whom Knuckles was up against, which Y/N find it rather satisfying and funny as she wish she can watch that all day, it was now once again as Y/N remembered like it was last time, Sonic vs Knuckles. Oh, how she wishes she can take them on both, but Chaos has other plans for her. Sonic was bouncing on the ropes as Knuckles comes in the boxing ring.

"No fancy setting this time? I guess Breezie doesn't want any distractions from the main event." Sonic said with a wink.

"Then we'd better put on a good show. Try to last more than one round, okay?" Knuckles grinned.

Sonic grinned up at him, getting into his running position.

"How many times have I kicked your butt? Three? Four?"

Knuckles punched his fist.

"Aw, now I feel bad. I must've beaten you up so bad in the past, you've become delusional!"

Y/N secretly rooted for Sonic to get back at Knuckles for kissing her out of nowhere as those two charged each other in speed. They block each other's attack until Knuckles punched him straight in the cheek, causing him to go flying.

"Bring back memories?"

Sonic shook off the pain and zoomed towards Knuckles and elbowed him in the gut with a grin.

"Ha! Yeah! Kicking your butt for Chaos Emeralds never gets old!"

Y/N smiled, remembering their first interaction with Knuckles when he misunderstood them for stealing the Chaos Emeralds for greedy deeds. Knuckles tries to punch him but Sonic jumped in the air with the ropes he catapulted himself on.

"You mean trying to kick my butt. At least, Y/N managed to give me a good punch and almost caught me off guard. Just like you're trying to win this championship!"

Sonic blocked another punch with his leg.

"Yeah, gimme another minute. Y'know, thinking about this whole tourney, I never stopped to consider how Breezie got that emerald for the prize..."

"Hey! We're fightin' here! Take this seriously!"

Y/N snickered at that as their fight went on. Kneecaps was next to her with Kirby on top of his shoulder, watching as well.

"Our brothers can sure be troublesome."

"Tell me about it, Kneecaps. By the way, is there a reason Knuckles kissed me in the first place? 'Cause I saw you secretly rooting for him to do it."

Kneecaps looked away with a slight guilt.

"Well... Brother just knows. And I'm pretty sure you know why he did it."

This made Y/N blush and look away, knowing that he's right. A loud wham was heard and they looked to see Knuckles attempt to spin dash Sonic when he jumped away from him with a funny face and tongue sticking out.

"What are you even doing here, man? It finally get too peaceful on your little slice of heaven?"

Knuckles swung a fist at him, which he quickly backed away from it.

"Me and Kneecaps are hunting down the shards of the Master Emerald! The energy of the prize emerald drew me here. While we found one—"

"Wait—again? What happened? Wait, Kneecaps?!"

"Shadow was hunting down some alien... ARGH!... I'll tell you later!"

Y/N turned to Kneecaps in confusion on what Knuckles mean by that.

"Like my brother said, we'll tell you later."

Sonic and Knuckles stopped for a moment as they're having a quick chat.

"So Angel Island is...?" Sonic asked with a worried expression.

"Floating, just like the rest of the wrecked planet."

"So if we fix the world, your island falls. Dude, do you want me to throw the fight so you can hurry up and get back to searching?"

But Knuckles just smile at him, putting up his fists.

"Don't you dare! We'll worry about plans and emeralds and everything later. But right now, you're gonna give me a decent fight!"

Sonic smiled back and moved his legs fast as a puff of smoke comes out.

"Need to blow off some steam, huh? Sounds good! Let's rumble!"

"Go, Sonic!!" Y/N cheered.

"Go, Knuckles!!" Kneecaps cheered along.

"Pooteetah!!!" Kirby cheered.

Sonic and Knuckles fight were tremendous as they punch and kick and punch and kick each other as they didn't stop there and kept on going as they attempt to take each other down. Everyone, including their friends are watching this with excitement, nervousness, etc as they cheered them on. Just as Sonic and Knuckles were about to give each other a blow, the lights suddenly went out and a loud rumble was heard, stopping the fight.

"What the?!" Y/N exclaimed in shock.

"What's going on?" Kneecaps exclaimed.

"Pooteetah??" Kirby questioned, looking around.

"Uh... Is this part of the show?" Knuckles questioned.

"I don't think so, Chuckles." Sonic said as he and Knuckles put their backs together ready to defend themselves.

Suddenly, the crash was heard and Y/N turned to see Metal Sonic who broke in as it zoom past Sonic and Knuckles. She realized where it's heading off to and immediately rushed in to stop the robot along with others who caught on. Sonic zoomed past her and spin dashed Metal Sonic who's holding the Chaos Emerald.

"NOPE!"

Metal Sonic quickly zoom around him and fly away from for its escape when Knuckles was in front of the robot and tried to punch him, but Metal Sonic dodged that and went back to fleeing. Amy came next as she tried to hammer the robot, but again, it dodged that. Then goes Kneecaps who tried to kick him and was dodged, Y/N attempting to slice the robot with her katana with Kirby attempting to tackle Metal Sonic, Espio throwing ninja star, and lastly Honey flying towards the robot with her fist forward. But all the attacks were nothing to Metal Sonic as it dodged every single attack that comes its way as Sonic was on its tail, trying to catch up to the robot. Metal Sonic then fly higher and crashed through the roof when Tails was already there outside, and hit the robot with his twin tails while flying in the air and caught the Chaos Emerald that was thrown off. Metal Sonic crashed on the roof as Tails landed gracefully and Sonic and Y/N coming out of the broken roof.

"Nice try! And if my math is right, the casino's back-up generator should kick in right about... now!"

Alarms were heard and the security kicked in as the guns from the roof were pointed at Metal Sonic with flying police cars. Y/N stood in front of Sonic and Tails with a glare, pointing her katana at Metal Sonic.

"So... Are we gonna do this? I mean, fight on the rooftop where you take on us and five other professional butt-kickers while also fighting all of Breezie's security forces?" Sonic grinned.

Metal Sonic glared at them and got into its fighting stance, ready to take them on. But Eggman had other plans and tried to get his robot to flee.

"Bah! This entire situation has been a disaster! Get back to the Death Egg for repairs! I've got a lead on another emerald! Did you hear me? I said, fall back!"

Metal Sonic eventually and angrily launched itself in the air and flew away. Sonic brought Tails' hand up.

"And the winner by making Metal Sonic look like a total chump—Miles 'The Turbo Twin-Tailed Genius' Prowerrrrrr!"

"Nice job, Tails!" Y/N smiled, patting his back.

"Thanks..." Tails blushed while smiling.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

And so after that tournament, Sonic, Y/N, Kirby, Amy, and Tails are outside the casino with the purple car in front of them. Knuckles and Kneecaps are also there with them as Knuckles was stubborn as usual while Kneecaps was all for it.

"Dude—Come on!" Sonic said.

"I dunno..." Knuckles said.

"Come on, bro. You know we need them." Kneecaps said. "The more help the easier way to find the shards of the Master Emerald."

"He's right! Come back with us! I'm sure there's something on the Sky Patrol that can help you out!" Y/N said, giving Knuckles a pleading look with a hint of puppy eyes, which made him almost gave in.

"Well... I do have a couple of things to drop off for you guys..."

"Sorry I'm late!"

Sonic and Y/N looked over to see a small, imp-like creature. Resembling somewhat of an anthropomorphic chihuahua as well, he has small hands with five fingers, three-toed feet, a realtively large head, a flat muzzle with a small black nose, bronze eyes, large and slightly pointy ears on top of his head, and a pair of light green, fairy-like wings on his back. He is also mostly covered in burgundy fur with white fur on his hands, feet, front torso, inner ears, and muzzle area. He also has a collar of extra thick fur around his neck, a round turf of fur on his rear for a tail, and a white Mohawk on his head. For attire, he wears a green bauble necklace. He was carrying a bag of snacks while flying towards them with a cute smile that made Y/N squeal a bit.

"I *GRK* just need to *HRMP* get my to-go bag!"

"This is Chip—the Light Gaia, the spirit that's supposed to fix the world." Knuckles introduced with a smirk on his face.

Sonic shook hands with Chip who happily shook back before shaking hands with Y/N who smile at him and gave him a pat on the head, which he gave her a giggle. Kirby greeted Chip over Y/N's shoulder with a wave who happily waved back.

"Seriously? Awesome! Glad to meet you." Sonic greeted.

"It's an honor to meet you, Chip." Y/N smiled kindly.

"You guys must be Sonic and Y/N! You were so cool! Waay stronger and powerful than Knuckles said you'd be!"

Sonic and Y/N and Kirby gave Knuckles a deadpan look to which he just gave them a closed eye smile while Kneecaps shook his head with his eyes rolled. They're now flying in the purple car that has wings with Tails piloting it.

"Knuckles says you've been gathering Chaos Emeralds?" Chip asked Sonic and Y/N.

"Yup. Counting the one we won today, we're to four." Sonic said.

"That's great!"

"And I've learned a magical technique that's helping us home in on the last emeralds and the Gaia Temples." Amy added, looking over at Chip. "But with the help of Y/N's magic since she is connected to them."

"Yay! My mission doesn't feel impossible anymore! Are you guys always this awesome?! I mean, is there anything going wrong at this point?"

Y/N couldn't help but smile at Chip while Kirby was sitting next to Chip giggle. What Chip didn't know is that he jinxed it as if on cue, the sun had already been set as it disappeared from the sky and the dark purple smoke was puffed out. Knuckles, Kneecaps, and Chip flinched as the smoke disappeared to see the sight of Sonic and Y/N in their Werehog form as they smiled cheekily at them

"UM, SO... WE HAVE THIS CONDITION..."

"Whoa! Y/N?!" Knuckles exclaimed, blushing a little to see the sight of Werehog Y/N who laughed nervously.

"YEAH... IT'S ME..."

"Whoa... I didn't expect that..." Kneecaps said, looking speechless.

"LET US EXPLAIN..."
