Alright, prepare for a long freaking post. I'm nominating best scenes here!

Memories of David The Echidna: Chapter 9 ~ David's Challenge

 A little bit later, I headed to the front desk of the Blitz Pit. I saw the manager there, talking with the lady over a cup of coffee. I assumed that they were both taking a break. They both looked up at me as I stopped in front of them. "'Afternoon, Corliss." The manager greeted.

"Good afternoon. Are there any new matches for me?" I asked. The lady looked through some papers on the desk, before shaking her head.

"Sorry, nothing new." She said. "Would you like to issue a challenge, though?" The manager sipped his coffee, noticing that I was somewhat hesitant to respond. "..Yes. I will issue a challenge."

"Who would you like to fight, Mr. Corliss?"

"Everyone."

The manager spit his coffee all over the side of the desk, and looked at me like I was holding him at gunpoint. "Say what?"

"I want to fight every fighter in the pit." I declared. "One by one, I'll knock each and every one of them down. I want my challenge issued to everyone immediately."

The lady looked shocked, but nodded obediently. "Yes, sir. I will notify everyone immediately."

"Whoa whoa whoa, Hold up a second!" The manager butted in. "What in the blazes has gotten into you, David!? Are you crazy!?" 

''I gave him a stern glare, "Maybe I am. But that doesn't matter. This battle is not for my sake..." ''

Memories of David The Echidna: Chapter 10 ~ David's Challenge - Part 2

 A moment of silence passed through. The referee stared at us, wondering when we were going to stand back up. After a few more moments, we all heard a voice nearby. "Hey, Hold it!" The ref turned around, I stood up, and Razor sat up with an even more baffled expression on his face. The manager was standing right there at the edge of the ring, and a whole pack of people were standing behind him. 

''"Oh, Manager! Is something wrong?" The ref asked him, somewhat worriedly. ''

''"Kinda." He said. "Depends on how you look at it." His gaze turned to me. "I don't think you fully grasp what you've gotten yourself into, have you?" ''

''"Whatever it is, I'll deal with it." I responded firmly. I recognized the people behind him as many of the fighters here. ''

"You sure? Well, I've got some good news, and I've got some bad news." He said. "Good news is, all the fighters accepted your challenge."

I felt slightly relieved, knowing that. But I had a feeling I knew what the bad news was.

"The bad news is, we all realized how long it would take for you to duel each one. So they all agreed to fight you at once."

"A-At once..!?" That wasn't quite what I was expecting.

"Yep. It's you versus the world, Dave." He stated, glumly. All the fighters began to walk up onto the ring, spreading out away from him. "Last chance to call it off. You sure you wanna do this?" 

''I thought for a moment. It was foolish to try and take every fighter on at once. I knew I couldn't win this. Yet, when I thought about Sarah...I found the strength to willingly accept this practical suicide mission. "What will I get if I win?" ''

''"Bahaha! You really think there's a chance that you'll win?" One of the fighters blurted out. ''

''"Er...as unlikely as victory may be," The manager rubbed his chin. "I gotta say that this type of thing is probably bigger than winning a world tournament. It's the type of thing that'd go down in history as the greatest battle in all of the Blitz Pit." ''

"Whoa..." Another fighter whistled at the sound of that.

Knowing that the prize was definitely more than enough to help Sarah, I knew that I had to do this. "Then, I'll do it."

"Hey man, you're crazy." A random fighter told me bluntly from the side-lines. "The money ain't worth this kinda beating."

"Yeah, there are like, what, 24 of us here on the ring right now?" Someone else added. "We'll maim you!"

"Why are you doing this anyway?" The referee asked, worriedly. Razor stood up from behind me, now giving me a serious look. 

''"You say it's not for the challenge, but is it really worth the money? Or the fame?" He asked me. ''

I simply shook my head. "If I told you the real reason I'm doing this, then I'm afraid that this battle will have little meaning." I declared. A lot of people looked somewhat surprised. "Now, are you ready to fight?"

The manager gave me one last worried glance before stepping off the ring. The referee arranged my opponents to cover one side of the ring, while I stood on the other. An audience had begun to form while we were talking, and now the stands were filling up. "Alright, in this match we have David The Echidna, our current leading fighter with a winning streak of 10 battles in a row!" The crowd cheered slightly, but I could hear the confused murmurs of the people wondering about everyone else on the other side. "This is a special match, requested by David himself. On the other corner, we have...Every single fighter in the Blitz Pit!" The whole crowd gasped in shock. "This is an endurance battle; David will be rewarded depending on how long he lasts and how many fighters he can take out before he collapses! If he somehow manages to win this...I don't even know!" 

So those were the rules this time. At least I can lose and know that it wasn't in vain. But I still couldn't risk a prize lower than the top. I couldn't afford to lose this at all. I braced myself, getting into a battle stance and analyzed each of the fighters. Deep down I knew I couldn't win. But I didn't have a choice; I had to.

"Everyone ready?" The referee found it hard to tell with all the people bunched up on one side. 

''"Begin!!" ''

Down Under Chapter 1 ~ Smash meets Candi.

Candi's eyes widened as soon as she saw Smash The Echidna casually walking down the street. She ran to him and tightly hugged him. "TINAAAAA!"

Smash, startled and almost frightened, cried out as he was tackled to the ground from behind. "What the crap!? Get offa me, woman!" He yelled in protest, standing back up with her on his back. "What the heck are you trying to do!? This ain't football!"

"I'm never letting go Tina now that I found you! Why are you not fighting Tina?"

"Because I ain't Tina!" He yelled. "Tina's a girl's name; Do I  look  like a woman to you!?"

Candi giggled. "Of course you do Tina. I know all about you. Your the angel of strength and you spend your time in a ancient arena called the Bitz Pit and you live in the sacred city of Green Flower."

Rock:Sorry,sir.But somehow she thinks your the angel of strength.

Smash froze, looking somewhat shocked. "Wait...what." He grabbed Candi's arms, and forced her to let go before turning around to face them. "How did you know that I'm a fighter at the Blitz Pit?"

Candi giggled. "Wow Tina, they never told me you'd be so funny. To answer your question you're in alot of our ancient texts that chronicle your strength and wisdom. It also states that your Father was a warrior and your sister IS a warrior as well. It also states your friends with the wisdom angel, Glacius and the nature angel, Spockius-"

"HOLD IT!" Smash interrupted. "Okay, First of all, I am not an angel woman. I'm an echidna, and a dude. My name is Smash, not Tina. Secondly, lemme get this straight. Information about "me and my friends and family" are written in ancient texts? Either you got the wrong person or your textbooks are faulty. So far you were right about me being a fighter at the Blitz, but my father wasn't a "warrior". He was a fighter, too. My sister isn't a warrior either, I just trained her. And wisdom and nature angels? I lost you there. There are no angels here on the ground; if there are then something's up, probably. Angels are generally assumed to be waaay higher up." He paused to point up at the sky. "Down here on the ground, we're just regular mobians...Third of all, Who ARE you? Why am I explaining all this to you; shouldn't you know some of this stuff already?"

Candi stared at Smash for a second then laughed. "Oh Tina your such a funny angel! I'm the normal one and all you guys are angels! You are a warrior at the Blitz Pit. It's strange you don't remember your two friends. The Wisdom angel is the cat-like being with a floating smaller kitty and the nature angel is the one with a magical blade of elements."

Smash buried his face in his palms. "oh lord..."

Odyssey - Chapter 7 End ~ Inverse Portal

Levi quickly pulled out his handheld decive and checked its readings. He nearly dropped the machine out of shock. "This isn't good," he said, trying to keep his footing. V, on the other hand, was doing just fine avoiding Ciel. "I always knew you'd be trouble," he said as he raised his hand towards her. "Disappear." Then, out of nowhere, Wes teleported right above V, and sent a powerful kick towards V's head. V, surprised by his 'twin's' sudden appearance, was absolutely dumbfounded when his telekinesis couldn't stop the attack. For the first time in years, he took the hit directly, sending him flying for a few seconds before righting himself in the air and landing on his feet. He absently rubbed the area where he was hit and, although it didn't hurt due to his power, was still completely taken aback. "How..." was all he managed to get out before chaos unfolded.

For a while, everyone's attention had turned to V, taking a direct blow for the first time. Everyone in Smash's group stared, their eyes nearly bulging out of their heads. Within the Airship, though, Gizmo was more concerned with the readings he was getting from Ciel. "Oh..my god..." He turned to Kleft and Kitty, along with 4 other hedgehogs who had come aboard. "The readings are so far off the chart...I-I don't even..." Their attention turned back to Ciel herself, and they all gasped in shock when they saw what happened next.

Ciel exploded in a blinding flash of light, a massive tear in space appeared in her place. A swirling blue/green/black vortex of colour could be seen inside the tear, pulling in everything in the vicinity, heroes and sand included.

"AHHHH!! HOLY CRAP!!" Splice screamed at the top of his lungs. "MOVE! MOVEMOVEMOVEMOVEMOVEMOVE!!!" Splice yelled, frantically flailing around while Panzyr still held him and Tab. Startled, the Fallen started to fly away from the rift, but he was hardly going anywhere. Eventually, he was going backwards, getting closer and closer to the rift. Then, with a yell, he was pulled inside, along with Splice and Tab. Gideon, who had been trying to run away from the rift, soon followed inside.

Smash felt his heart sink when he saw what looked like impending doom. "Oh, noo...." He said, quietly. "She tore a hole in the time space continuum!" His attention turned to V, now giving him a sharp glare. "Dang it, man! You see, THIS is why you don't go on interdimensional conquests!"

V simply turned his head down, and showed a sly smile. Even with his powers, the growing force of the rip in space continued to pull him in. Accepting this fate, he crossed his arms and said to Smash, "This is far from over, boy." With that, he allowed himself to be taken into the rift.

'''Memories of David The Echidna: Chapter ??? ~ Tranquil Fury'''

Suddenly, he heard a clicking sound off to his side; quite close to his head. "...Don't even think about it." He said flatly, not even looking at the source. "If you brought me here to shoot me, you should have shot me a long time ago." He turned to face a figure next to a door, holding a gun pointed towards him. "Let's get straight down to the point. Where is she?"

"I don't need to tell you." The figure responded. "Even if I do, you won't live to see her."

"So you've finally got some guts, huh?" Smash moved his clenched fists upward, positioning himself for a fight. "You know, your gun won't have any effect on me now that you've shown yourself."

"Pity. Looks like I'll have to do this the hard way." He said, tossing the gun off to the side. Suddenly, the lights turned on. Brian stood in front of him, wearing a strange dark purplish armor. A glowing blue emerald was encased inside of the chest area of the armor.

Smash's eyebrows shot up. "That armor...Where the heck...?"

"All you need to know is that with this, I'll be the strongest in the world." As he said this, he held up a small vial of strange liquid, the cover already taken off. Smash recognized the vial immediately, but before he could react, Brian had already dunked the whole thing into his mouth and swallowed. Grinning malevolently, he let out a twisted cackle. "Once the drug starts taking effect, I'll be unstoppable. Only one of us will walk away from this warehouse alive, and it won't be you..or your precious "Sister"."

Smash could have flown off the handle right there, but he tried to suppress his anger. "Brian...I never actually thought that you would go this far." He said, sounding both shocked and disappointed." Fine, have it your way. Let's do this."

Smash found himself unable to dodge in time. He took the blow hard across the face, and collapsed to the ground. Brian laughed triumphantly, watching as he struggled to get back up. "You put up a good fight, my old nemesis." He said. "Just like I expected. But, it all comes down to one simple factor: Power. Only the ones with power will make it to the top." He grinned devilishly, watching Smash just barely manage to push himself up to his knee. "With my new found power, even you are no match for me. Now look at you; You're powerless, and have no place in this world but below even the lowest of lifeforms. I'd love to watch you writhe in pain before me, but I should just put you out of your misery." He picked up his gun from off the floor, and aimed it at the echidna. "Heheh, Any last words, Smash The Echidna?"

Smash's whole body was quivering with anger. His body was in too much pain to move suddenly, but now he just didn't care. Let it hurt. He gradually stood up fully.

"Oh?" Brian smirked. "It looks like you've still got some fight left in you. I guess I could play around with you a while longer." He dropped the gun, and spread his arms out in a shrug.

"Y-You..." Brian looked up at him, raising an eyebrow. "You despicable piece of crap..." Smash whirled around, facing him with a fierce glare and a fiery spark in his eyes. "Is That All You've GOT!?" "W-What?" Brian took a step back, startled. Smash clenched both fists, tight enough to hurt his hands. Without warning, a blast of sky-blue energy exploded from around Smash, covering him in a powerful aura. His fur color changed to a lime-greenish cyan. The aura gave a powerful spark, changing the whole thing to deep lime green. His fur changed in accordance, and cyan stripes formed on his arms and legs.

Brian was shocked by his sudden transformation. He tried to get into a defensive stance, but immediately felt something plowing against his left cheek like an aluminum baseball bat. Smash had already managed to close in on him and strike a blow before he even noticed. He was sent crashing into a stack of boxes piled against the wall. He quickly recovered and regained his footing. "Well, I can't say I expected that! But you're still no match for me." With that, Brian lunged towards him, and threw two powerful punches towards his face. Smash tilted his head to the side and dodged the first punch, and caught the wrist from his second punch. With a twist, he cracked Brian's wrist and thrust his palm into his chest. Brian found himself flying back into the same stack of boxes, which were beginning to collapse on him.

"Ugh..Hm, a wise guy, eh? No matter, I've already proven that I can beat you." He recklessly charged forward again, this time throwing a barrage of punches all at once. Smash stood still, and swiftly caught each blow. It was then when Brian noticed that he wasn't even looking at his attacks--He was staring directly into his eyes. The cold, harsh look he was giving him as he parried each of his punches sent a shiver throughout his body. He decided to try and catch him off guard by jumping back, and ramming his shoulder into him. Before he could strike, Smash stepped to the side and let him charge past him. He extended his leg and let Brian trip over it. But right before he fell to the ground, he snatched up his ankle and held him upside-down.

"Wh-Wah!" He cried out in surprise. Before he knew it, he found himself flying up into the ceiling this time. After throwing him above his head, Smash jumped up after him and spiked him back to the ground like a volley ball.

Brian just barely managed to land on his feet after that attack. He coughed up a bit of blood, and wiped his mouth. "You've gotten a lot stronger, I see. Looks like I underestimated you." He stood up, still looking as smug as ever. "But that won't happen again." He decided to use Smash's own strategy, in letting his enemy attack first so he could counter. He motioned for him to make a move, and watched his plan unfold.

But, something was different about Smash now. Instead of springing forward with a lightning quick attack, He was walking slowly towards him, giving a deathly glare. He didn't appear to be planning any sort of move like before, nor did he seem to be making one. He wasn't even responding to his wisecracking anymore. He just kept approaching him, slowly, and never letting his eyes off of him. The glow from his aura illuminated his surroundings, and showed every bit of agitation on his face. Even with blood trickling down his face from every other side, and the fact that he shouldn't even still be standing, he didn't seem to acknowledge any of it. His only focus was on him, and It was sort of terrifying. Brian had just unleashed something very deadly...a side of Smash he had never seen before...and he had a feeling he was going to regret it.
