Sonic BN Brawl Chapter 1 Just Another First Day

Welcome to the beginning of what is going to be Sonic BN Brawl! This is the start of a collection of fanfiction I'm going to have. This is a Sonic/Star Force-type story that I hope you will all enjoy!

NOTE: The characters you read about in this story (and those to follow) are humans, not animorphs. Just wanted to get that across before any questions arose.

Ding! Ding! A large bell rang atop the highest point of Station Square High. Thousands of children, anywhere between 14 and 18 years of age, began to barge out into the halls within the building, and many ventured outside to reach their next classes. Just then, a young 16 year-old with blue, spiky hair dashed outside like a shooting star. He was wearing an ordinary set of garments, such as a blue overshirt and casual blue jeans. He inhaled the freshness of the outside air and stated, "There's nothin' better than fresh air!" His name was Sonic, and unbeknownst to him, he was one of the world's future heroes.

"Sonic!" exclaimed a voice that sounded almost like a young child from inside the building. Before the doors had their chance to shut, a short boy with yellow, fox-like hair and an yellow-shaded overshirt pushed them aside and walked to join Sonic. Sonic put an ashamed look on his face. "Sorry, Tails!" he attempted to apologize. "I didn't really see 'ya there, bud!" Despite what happened, Tails managed to turn his frown into a smile. "Hey, don't worry about it, Sonic!" he said, almost too cheerfully. "So, hey, where's your next class?" Sonic's ashamed look switched into a confused one. "Umm..." he said. "I'm...not sure. Here, lemme check out my schedule."

With that, Sonic reached into his pockets and found a yellow slip of paper, which was inscribed with the seven classes he had to visit every day for the rest of sophomore year. "Ohh!" he said, trying really hard not to sound stupid. "I gotta get over to C Block!" Tails' face lit with excitement. "Really!? So do I!" he exclaimed. "It's all the way on the other side of campus, though..." Sonic threw a grin on his face. "That's awesome! But wait..." his grin turned into a frown. "You mean we gotta go all the way back over there!? Man! That blows!"

Tails found it necessary to laugh at Sonic's despair. "It's not as bad as you think it is, Sonic!" he encouraged. "Come on. We'll go there together!" Sonic managed to turn his frown upside down. "Yeah, you're right!" he exclaimed. "Okay, bud! Let's get going!" The two friends began to sprint towards C Block, where their next class periods would take place. Upon reaching C Block, they were greeted by yet another one of their friends. His hair was long and red, like a fresh strawberry mixed with a cherry. He was wearing a black overshirt, one that somehow compemented his appearance. His name was Knuckles, a long-time friend of Sonic's. "Sonic!" he said, almost happily. "Good to see a friendly face!"

"Same here, Knux!" exclaimed Sonic. Knuckles suddenly grew agitated. "I told you to stop calling me that..." he said almost as an angry whisper. Sonic tried to change the topic of conversation, which seemed to be pretty effective. "So, anyways, what's up, man?" he asked. "Haven't seen you since summer of last school year! Whatcha been up to?" Knuckles attempted a grin. "Oh, not too much," he said. Sonic then crossed his arms, giving his friend a tired look. "That sounds really boring," he said. "Didn't you do something...I dunno...fun?" Knuckles punched Sonic in the face, leaving a slight mark on it. "You idiot!" he shouted. "Of course I did something fun! I just...don't feel like sharing, that's all!"

"Okay, okay!" Sonic stressed, lifting himself up from the ground. "You didn't haveta punch me, though." Knuckles suddenly looked down in sadness. "Y-Yeah, I know..." he said, obviously not very happily. "Sorry, man..." Sonic gently placed his right hand on Knuckles' shoulder. "Hey, no big deal!" he grinned. "You remember how we always used to fight! That was nothing compared to what we usually do!" Knuckles looked up at Sonic, and he found the strength to smile. "Yeah, you're right," he said. But before they could go any further, another friend ambushed Sonic and began to squeeze him from behind, her arms wrapped around him. "Sonic!" she exclaimed. "I missed you so much!"

"Amy!" Sonic exclaimed. "H-Hey, leggo of me! What's the big idea!?" Sonic managed to release himself from Amy's grip. "So, how've you been? And don't do that next time!" Amy's cheeks turned a bright crimson color. "You're right!" she apologized. "I'm sorry!" She then turned to face Tails and Knuckles. "Hi, guys!" Tails was the first to reply, and he was far more enthusiastic than Knuckles. "Hi, Amy! How are you?" Tails said. "Good to see you again!" Amy looked straight at Tails and gave him a cheerful smile. "Just fine!" she said cheerfully. "Hey, do you guys know what's up with the teachers this year?"

"Whaddya mean by that?" asked Sonic. "Tails and I passed by some teachers on our way here, and they all seemed just fine. Well, a little weird, but overall okay." Amy lifted her pointer finger as if she was about to give a lecture. "That's my point, Sonic," she said. "The teachers this year...they look like they've almost been...brainwashed. Well, not all of them do, but all of the teachers in the new Black District look weird." Knuckles rubbed his chin as if thinking. "Black District..." he said. "That's that new section of the school right? Why's it there? What's the reason for it being there?"

"I dunno," said Sonic, "but we definitely noticed it on our way here. It's an enormous facility...Almost looks like a prison center." Before the gang could ponder the thought any longer, an announcement was heard through the intercom. "Attention, students!" it exclaimed. "To begin, I'd like to welcome you all back to Station Square High School! I hope everyone had a nice summer vacation. Now that we're back, I'd like to direct your attention to a few new features we have here on campus." Sonic's face lit with a grin. "This should be good," he said.

"For starters," the voice continued, "I would like to ask all of you-and I do mean all of you-not to go anywhere near the Black District. That section of the school is off-limits to those without permission to enter. Now, on a different note..." Sonic grew agitated with the ongoing talking. "Gaaaahh!" he exclaimed. "When does this guy quit!? My ears are about to fall off!" Knuckles put a hand over Sonic's mouth as to reduce the noise frequency from him. "Quiet, Sonic!" he said. Tails laughed when he viewed the two friends. "That's just the principal for you!" he said, cheerfully. "Principal Vector Cron Murkam, our good 'ol principal! He's not all that bad, is he, Sonic?"

Sonic finally removed Knuckles' hand off of his face. "Well, I don't have a problem with the guy, but he talks way too damn much!" he admitted. Vector continued, "Now, if I can get all of the sophomores and freshmen to report to the Central District. We have to make sure our students are all in top Netbattling condition. Please make haste to the Central District immediately!" Sonic suddenly jumped with excitement. "Yes!" he shouted. "We get to do some more Netbattling! This is gonna be no sweat!" He finished his sentence and began to dash towards Central District, the rest of his friends following shortly behind.

Upon entering the Central District, Sonic and gang witnessed a collision of hundreds of students that were either freshmen or sophomores. "Wow!" said Sonic. "But hey, are these all just freshmen and sophomores? Where are the juniors and seniors?" Tails slowly walked up to Sonic and chuckled. "Sonic," he began, "Junior students and senior students don't have to take the first-day exams. Don't you remember? The tests we took at the very end of last year? That was the SPE, or the Student Placement Exam. That test determines whether or not we move up a grade or not. Since we passed, we moved up to sophomores. Juniors who pass the test move up to seniors, and both juniors and seniors are considered top-class students, so they get to skip the first-day tests we have."

"What!?" shouted Sonic. "That bites...WE need to be juniors!" Then, Vector and other teachers greeted their students and began their lecture. "Good morning, everyone," said Vector. "As you all know, I am Vector Cron Murkam, your principal. These are going to be your block principals, who will be in their assigned block should you ever need them. Now, then...on to the test. Based on how well your scores last year turned out, we will decide who fights first. Oh, and don't worry! You won't be in any grave danger! But do remember this: Netbattles are serious! Never give your opponent the upper hand!"

With that said, Vector pointed to the giant overhead screen that hovered over the students. Two name slots began to randomly flash and spin. At the end of it, the two names that were chosen were Sonic and Knuckles. Sonic and Knuckles both jumped at the chance to fight one another. "Sonic and Knuckles!" exclaimed Vector. "Please make your way to the stage!" Sonic and Knuckles both sprinted to the stage and reached into their pockets, each pulling out their own Star Carrier ready for use. Sonic and Knuckles stared at one another with a deep look of determination. "I won't lose! shouted Knuckles. Sonic gave a slight laugh. "Just try to keep up, okay?" he smurked.

With that, they both threw their Star Carriers into the air and watched as their portable machines began to circle their bodies. As it began to circle, the two friends emitted a shining glow from their bodies, and they both gained protective eyewear that resembled green glasses. They had just engaged Wave Change, and both were ready for their fight as they stood in fighting positions. Vector raised his hand as a referee. "Now, I want a good, clean Netbattle, you two!" he stressed. "No cheating! Use chips given to you by the school district! Ready!?"

Sonic's eyes lit with fire, as his excitement could barely be contained. Surprisingly, Knuckles did the same. Vector's hand swiftly lowered from midair. "BEGIN!!" With that, the two were teleported to the Wave World, where they could still be seen. This was done so they could actually fight with chips and their wave forms. Sonic's feet launched him off of the ground and high into the air, and he came back down with a fist ready to punch. Knuckles finally looked up to notice Sonic, but was too slow to dodge the blow. He suffered full damage from that attack. As Knuckles was sent spiraling into the air due to the aftermath, he quickly drew a battle chip and activated it. "WoodAxe!" he exclaimed. His right arm quickly morphed into a wooden axe weapon, and he lunged down at Sonic, who was barely able to dodge the attack when he finally realized it was coming. The aftermath was a large quake, breaking bits and pieces of the Wave World and leaving clouds of dust. Sonic landed safely on his feet.

"Not bad, Knuckles!" he said, encouraging his opponent. Knuckles gave Sonic a smile. "Yeah, well," he stated, "Unlike a certain blue-haired dunce I know, I spent my summer training and practicing my techniques! Plus, I came up with a couple of strategies and found some new programs for me to try! Check this out!" With those words spoken, Knuckles lunged high into the air, and he reached in his pocket for a small, red square program. "Install!" he exclaimed. "Attack+1!" The square then began to flash, and it shattered, the fragments being absorbed into Knuckles. Sonic simply stared in awe. "How'd you do that!?" he questioned. Knuckles laughed at his opponent. "It's called a program, stupid!" he shouted. "I can use programs to further increase my power! Attack+1 gives me a huge boost to my power, giving me more than enough to mop the floor with you!"

"Aww, crap!" said Sonic, getting ready to dodge his opponent's upcoming onslaught. As Knuckles lunged towards Sonic, his opponent jumped high into the air in order to dodge the attack. Thinking that this would throw Knuckles out of tune, Sonic was surprised when he saw his friend laughing. "You think that's gonna stop me?" he said. "Fat chance!" He reached into his pocket and pulled out another program, this time a small, white square. "Install! Speed+1!" The effect of the program was absorbed once more into Knuckles, and he sprinted into the air to meet his opponent. "This one gives me a huge speed boost!" he said. "Now, you can't run away from me, Sonic. It's over!"

Knuckles then thrashed his fist into Sonic's face, hitting him point-blank and sending him crashing down into the fabrics of Wave World. Dust clouds formed, and the ground itself began to crack and tear. "Damn it!" Sonic said. "How come I can't do that stuff? That'd be pretty cool!" He found a laugh in his chest. This was obviously not what Knuckles wanted to hear. "You idiot!" he shouted. "Come on! Get serious! I wanna beat you when you're at your best!!" Knuckles sprinted towards Sonic with a new WoodAxe on his right arm. Sonic had to think fast for this to go smoothly. He examined the various stalactites that were sunk into the ceiling of the area. His face lit with a grin. "I got it!" he exclaimed. "Cannon!" With the chip downloaded, he aimed his shot at the ceiling.

Back in the real world, Amy could only feel confused when she saw his aiming point. "What's wrong with you!?" she exclaimed. "If you shoot Knuckles, he won't be able to dodge! He's coming right at you! What're you doing!?" Tails quickly grasped ahold of Sonic's intentions. "I see..." he said. "Amy! Look at the ceiling! See the stalactites there? He's gonna shoot those and make them crash down and hit Knuckles!" With that said, Sonic's Cannon shot hit the above stalactites dead-on, somehow causing Knuckles to pause his attack. He looked at the ceiling slowly, almost as if he was scared. The stalactites began to pluck themselves from the ceiling, and within seconds, they came crashing down on Knuckles, gravely damaging him and leaving him under a pile of crushed rocks. Sonic could only smile and say, "That's game!"

In the real world, everyone began to cheer and clap at the amazing display of fighting they just witnessed. Sonic had won the battle, and Knuckles managed to push aside the large pile of crushed and fallen rocks that lay on top of him. Bruised and bleeding, he stood reassured that his training was worth it. "That was a pretty clever move, Sonic," he said, almost impressed. "You knew about the ceiling all along. It didn't take you long to figure out a way to beat me using the environment. That was...enjoyable."

Sonic gave Knuckles a playful grin. "Aww!" he said in a mocking tone. "Knuckles is impressed with me! That's so cute!" Knuckles suddenly grew a blood-red temper, and he began chasing Sonic around the Wave World shouting, "I'll get you! Just wait until I get my hands on you!" When Vector teleported them back to the real world, Knuckles had chained Sonic by the hair with his hands. In pain, Sonic moaned and groaned at his friend. "Hey! Leggo!" he exclaimed. The entirety of the freshmen and sophomore began to laugh and point at the two friends, but as they began to laugh, a massive explosion came from the Cafeteria kitchen. Sonic and Knuckles quickly released one another, and they dashed straight for the area. When they entered through the doors in the cafeteria, the entire place was up in a raging fire.

"What the hell!?" exclaimed Knuckles. "What happened here!?" Flames were scorching throughout the area, and if they weren't stopped, they would spread throughout the entire school. Sonic backtracked through the cafeteria. "Where are you going!?" shouted Knuckles. Sonic looked back while running. "If I can find a fire extinguisher, then we can get to the source!" he shouted back. "I know it! Just sit tight! I'll be right back!" With that, Sonic ran around the cafeteria like a super-high rabbit looking for a fire extinguisher. Searching every corner and crack, he finally located one on the northern wall of the cafeteria. "Finally!" he exclaimed. His hands reached for the fire extinguisher, and with a light tugg, they pulled it off of the wall and into Sonic's grasp. His feet dashed him quickly back to the kitchen.

As he arrived, Sonic's eyes witnessed flames that were even more ferocious than they were upon his departure. "Damn it!" he exclaimed. "These things just don't know when to quit, do they?" With that said, his hands reached for the fire extinguisher on his back, and his right hand's pointer finger pushed the lever to release the fluid. As it spread all across the room, the raging fires that once stood strong and bright began to dim and weaken, and before long, the kitchen was free of such a hazard. Knuckles jumped at the sight of a flameless room. "Great!" he exclaimed. "Now, let's move on!" Sonic nodded to his comrade, and with that done, they began to sprint deeper into the kitchen.

As they continued towards the end of the area, Sonic and Knuckles came to a barred door. The door was securely fastened; the one who locked it wanted to make sure no one else entered. "This must be it!" Sonic exclaimed. "Here! Help me out here, Knuckles!" Knuckles readied his fists, and together, they began to push and shove against the door. In time, they managed to cause the door to collapse to the ground. The two friends hesitated upon entering the room, for it was the only area not engulfed in a raging inferno. "What's...?" Knuckles attempted to speak. Sonic's eyes circled through the room, revealing the truths of the situation. "Everything's...unharmed..." he said, almost as a whisper. Suddenly, light footsteps crawled from the door on the other end of the room. "Welcome, children," a voice said, coming from the other end of the door.

Sonic and Knuckles leapt back in shock, and they readied their Star Carriers for battle. The man behind the door simply laughed. The door slowly made its opening, and the man stepped out and into the room. He was somewhat chubby, and his face was almost consumed by a moustache. His body was covered with a red overshirt with over-sized buttons and black pants that seemed like skinny jeans. "I am Robotnik," he declared, "The greatest of scientists in this world. I'm actually amazed that boys of your age have managed to get here without help. You must either have tremendous courage...or some type of death wish. Either way, this could prove to be very interesting. Tell me...do you boys have your Star Carriers?"

"Well, duh!" Sonic snapped. "Why does that matter? Are you gonna fight us?" Robotnik's face lit with a sinister grin. "Well, perhaps," he said. "I think you'd be happy to know that I'm the one who caused this entire crisis, just to give you motivation." Sonic's spine was chilled. "Why!?" he exclaimed. "Why would you do this!? What do possibly have to gain!?" Robotnik's right arm reached midway into the air, and a small, red button was seen in his hand. "You see this?" he asked. "This is the switch that will decide the fate of this school. Think you have what it takes to stop my beast?" Knuckles was unarguably sure of his skills. "We'll take out that monster!" he exclaimed. He turned his head to face Sonic. "Sonic! Wave Transmit! Now!"

"You got it!" Sonic exclaimed. "This'll be fun!" Sonic and Knuckles quickly entered Wave World through Wave Transmit, and as they entered the mainframe of the kitchen computers, their eyes were glued to the giant worm-like beast that took up practically the entire area just with its existence. The worm unleashed a mighty roar, spitting numerous types of saliva and spit from its insides. "This thing is...!" Knuckles managed to say. "This thing is freakin' huge! How the hell're we gonna stop this thing!?" Sonic, examining the mass that was the worm, began to realize that the beast was consumed in flames. "That's it!" he said, noticing a weakness. "Knuckles, this thing is protected by fire, so if we take 'im on with water chips, we can mop the floor with this guy!"

Sonic inserted a water-based chip and began to read the data. "AquaBlade! Insert!" His feet dashed him towards the the giant beast, and his blade struck straight through the massive monster, whose guts and organs splattered in different directions, leaving traces of blood and bodily fluids all across the area. In the real world, massive explosions and implosions were occuring on a regular basis within the kitchen. Robotnik, realizing that his plans were insuccessful, grew furious with the two heroes and began to make his escape. His left hand reached into his left pocket, and it pulled out a small black button. His pointer finger pressed down on the button, teleporting Robotnik to his far-off base. As he began to leave the area, his body turned to face the computers that connected the Wave World. "You will become a nuisance to me," he declared, as if talking to Sonic. "I'll keep an eye on you, boy...you, and your little friends!" With those words said, he disappeared in a beam of light and left the two friends to discover his departure.

As Sonic and Knuckles reentered the real world, the raging flames had finally settled and vanished. Things were still in ruin and shambles, but they managed to maneuver out back into the cafeteria. Tails and Amy were, of course, the first ones to greet them upon their return. Amy's usual approach--a giant, often unwanted lunge into his embrace--was what Sonic had to manage with as he and Knuckles came back into the cafeteria. "H-Hey!" Sonic exclaimed. "Cut that out, Amy! Why does this always happen to me!?" Knuckles found it necessary to laugh. "Guess it's just meant to be, huh, Sonic?" he played. Sonic's cheeks turned a crimson red. "N-No way!" he said, trying to deny Amy. Tails didn't really speak out of delight. He was, more or less, concerned with what had happened today. "Sonic," he began to ask, "What exactly happened in there?"

Sonic's embarrassment quickly turned into a serious look. "This guy..." he began. "Robotnik...I think he said his name was. All that we know is that he was the one who caused this whole mess. He used a giant worm of fire to terrorize the Wave World, which obviously effected the real world. Man...I thought that thing would be a lot tougher...It's almost as if though he didn't even try to beat us..." This statement just made Tails get deeper into thought. "Is that right?" he questioned. "I'm gonna see if I can get more info on this...Robotnik guy. I can only assume that school is closed for today, so I'll be at my house if you guys need me." Sonic's face lit with a grin. "Alright, bud!" he said. "Just be careful, okay?" Tails' head did a slight nod, and he began to run home to uncover the truths behind Robotnik.

"Well, today was eventful," said Knuckles. "We finished our battle, the kitchen exploded, we met an evil psychopath, we killed a giant fire worm, and to top it all off, we managed to get out of there before our flesh was burned off of our bodies." Knuckles sounded incredibly agitated. However, Sonic couldn't help but muster a laugh. Knuckles turned to face his laughing friend. "Dude, what's so funny about that!?" he exclaimed. Sonic managed to stop laughing and he finally said, with the sun shining brightly on his face, "Man, it's just another first day of school!"
