Luck balance of the universe

"Maybe... there is a disturbance in the Luck Balance of the Universe."

- Sticks the Badger, "Unlucky Knuckles"

The Luck Balance of the Universe is a force mentioned in the Sonic Boom television series. It is a universal-encompassing force that dictates the amount of fortunes and misfortunes befalling individuals.

Description
The Luck Balance of the Universe is a transcendental element that determines the probability of fortunes and misfortunes befalling different individuals, which is represented as good and bad luck occurring. Due to the absurdity of this concept however, people such as Tails and Amy chalks it up to paranoiac theories or superstition.

While the amounts of good and bad luck are meant to be in balance, there are at times disturbances in the Luck Balance of the Universe. This causes a person's luck to tip in different directions, resulting in exceeding streaks of either bad or good luck. To reset the balance, a person has to burn through their luck streak by using up all the fortunes or misfortunes that can occur to them. This can be done manually by provoking fortune/misfortune.

History
A disturbance in the Luck Balance of the Universe occurred to Knuckles, causing him a string of bad luck which cost him many victories against Sonic. Taking the advise of Sticks, he began causing misfortunes to himself to use up his bad luck. Meanwhile, another imbalance gave Dr. Eggman a good luck streak which he used to begin an invasion of Bygone Island. When Knuckles' bad luck and Eggman's good luck proved a hindrance to Team Sonic's attempts to stop the invasion, Sonic got Knuckles to join Eggman. As a result, Knuckles' bad luck overpowered Eggman's good luck, thus neutralizing both of them. However, Knuckles' bad luck was quickly passed onto Tails.
