Chapter 4

Knuckles p.o.v.

How can a sweet little hedgehog like Hyper be scary? When we got their Hyper was resting on the grass with his hands behind his head.

"Hey Super. I see you came over to me first." he said stretching

"Ya, What are you going to ask for?"

"I think I'm going to ask for a battle." he said walking over to us

"What type of battle?" I asked

"You throw whatever you can at your opponent." he waved his hand at the field and a purple barrier appeared. "So, you're going to accept my challenge?"

"Just give us a minute Hyper." Super said. Hyper shrugged his shoulders and walked over to the middle of the field.

"Here's a little tip: Hyper is a learning form. Anything he sees, hears or touches, he can use to his advantage."

"Can more than one person accept challenges?" Tails asked

"Yes." we went over to Hyper who looked over at us

"So?"

"Me and Shadow accept your challenge." I said and Shadow nodded in agreement.

"Alright then. *Turns toward everyone else* Why don't you go rest by the lake and watch the show." They went over and we got into position

"Are you ready?"

Shadow nodded and I replied with a yes but got punched in the stomach.

"I'm sorry Knuckles, but you said yes." I threw a punch but touched air "Your so easy to read." I turned and received another punch.

"Your not a bad fighter." Hyper turned around and got kicked by Shadow.

"Not bad but I think I could do better." Hyper jumped into the air and kicked Shadow back a few feet. Shadow slid to a stop and I took this opportunity to punch Hyper in the back. He staggered but kicked backwards and jumped up striking me in the face and falling on my back.

"Is that all you got?" Hyper asked standing over me

"Not quite." he turned around to get punched again. I got up to see Shadow firing multiple chaos spears and Hyper dodging them all.

"You want to play with chaos energy? Then lets play." he flew up into the air and waved his arm making multiple chaos spears appear. He pointed his arm down and his attack came flying at us. I could barely dodge the attack and got nicked from a couple of them. Shadow had no problem swerving at all. Hyper dove down and gave a swift kick straight to Shadow's chest sending him stumbling and punched him followed by an uppercut. I went and did an uppercut myself to his back. He gave a swift kick but I dodged it. Shadow grabbed his ankle making him fall on his stomach. He kicked Shadow in the face making him let go and spun around tripping me with his foot. He flew into the air again and saw us struggle to stand on our feet

"You can always quit but that means you lose."

"Never!" Shadow jumped into the air but only punched air. I got kicked in the back and saw Shadow be pulled to the ground as well. I waited for Hyper to land before I grabbed both of his ankles making him stand in place and Shadow punching his head. He flew into the sky and spun around multiple times making me let go and fall to the ground. He held his head with one hand to make it stop spinning when Shadow jumped into the air behind him and kicked him to the ground. I got up just as Shadow landed beside his head chaos spear in hand and Hyper looking at him.

"Looks like you win." Hyper said standing up and holding his hand out for Shadow which he just looked at. Hyper laughed nervously and rubbing the back of his head as everyone came running up to us.

"Nice battle." Super patted Hyper on the back with a smile

"I could always do better." I spotted a forest not to far away

"Who's over there?" I asked

"You'll see when you get there." Super said

"What are we waiting for? An invitation?" Hyper said as he flew around us "Let's go." and we headed for the forest.
