Sonic News Network:Sonic Character Tournament/Week 5

Battle 1
Doctor Robotnik, megalomaniacal evil genius, is facing off against Katella, the sexy intergalactic hunter. They're both ruthless, red-haired and unremittingly evil... and in love? That's right, Robotnik and Katella were once going to get married, until the meddling hedgehog interfered. Now the honeymoon is over and the claws are out, but who will take the prize?

Will Robotnik sweep the board with his robotic legions, or will Katella come out triumphant with her honed skills and array of booby traps?

Battle 2
Doctor Finitevus is the first of three evil albino echidnas to be present in this tournament. Finitevus is deceitful, constantly scheming and has been a member of many notorious groups such as the Eggman Empire, the Dark Legion and even the Destructix, however he never stays loyal to any group and always has his own bigger schemes in mind. He is an evil genius who has mastered powers of corrupted chaos energy as well as the mystical Warp Rings.

Facing off against the evil Finitevus is the first of our special SEGA guest stars, Ulala! Best known as the star of the hit series Space Channel 5, this sexy, galactic reporter emits a pink aura, signifying she is full of groove energy. She always carries her trusted microphone along with two guns, one that shoots rescue beams for saving hostages, the other shooting Chu beams to destroy aliens, robots, or in this case, one naughty echidna.

Battle 3
What good is a week with just one evil, albino Echidna? We proudly introduce Dr. Finitevus' conceptual descendant, Pir'Oth Ix. As the Imperator and unquestioned leader of the Nocturnus Tribe of Echidnas, Ix is bent on taking over the world by force if necessary. If his legion of Echidna and Gizoid minions aren't enough, Ix himself has Powers Blasts, Doom Orbs and if worse comes to worst, his transformation to Super Ix.

None of that matters to Wes Weasely, though, who is used to dealing with dictators and shady customers. Wes is an unscrupulous salesman who doesn't really care how good or evil his customers are as long as he makes money. He's quite the fast talker and can be quite manipulative, outsmarting anyone with an extra Mobium. However, if Wes Weasely is wronged, he will not rest until he has his revenge!

Battle 4
The second SEGA Superstar to grace this tournament is Aiai from the Super Monkey Ball series. Aiai is pretty absent minded most of the time, having trouble focusing on anything other than Bananas. However, his heroic nature and heart of gold help him to always come out on top in any task he tried his hand at.

Chao are Sonic's answer to Virtual Pets. Making their debut in Sonic Adventure for the Dreamcast, the Chao became instantly loved by heroes and villains alike. Depending on how a Chao is raised, they can become experts at swimming, flying, running and even fighting.
