Chapter 2

Teacher's Terror

A/N: Before we continue, I should add that the age of a 12 year old Mobian (Or anyone living there, for that matter) is equal to that of an 18 year old human. So, since Sonic is 24, his age is 30 human years. However, Mobians typically live longer than humans, varying among species. (They say the nine-tailed fox can live for hundreds of years, sometimes a thousand!) Now let's continue a few moments earlier, in another building

"Alright class, can you please turn to page 234 in your textbooks." The students willingly obeyed. Outside, the ground was very wet and damp, and several of the students had muddy shoes on the ground.

The particular classroom they were in was Biology, and compared to many Biology classes, there was life everywhere. Plants filled the room all over the place, many of them exotic and not very easy to find. Many of the students thought that the teacher was one of the strangest people they've ever seen. But in truth, she was acting normal for her species, but Mobians never really understood foreigners that much.

"Begin reading from page 234 to 237, and then answer the questions at the end." She instructed them sweetly. "When you're done, we can begin the lab."

But before they even began reading, the power all of a sudden cut off, and the students gasped. Even the teacher stood up from her desk in surprise.

"Mrs. Prower, how are we supposed to read in the dark?" One of the students asked rather stupidly.

"You aren't supposed to read in the dark, Sarah." Mrs. Prower replied with a sigh. "Everyone stay in here, and behave yourselves, please." The students would listen to her, despite her strange ways she was very kind indeed, and it was never nice to hurt a kind teacher's heart.

Several of the other teachers had gone out of their classrooms as well, trying to figure out what the problem was. Then the Principal showed up, obviously confused as the rest of them.

"I've gotten through to the people in charge of the electrical power, and they have no idea how it shut off. They say it could be many, many hours before it comes on, perhaps even longer than that, as for it depends on whether they can find what caused the problem. Now keep the students inside the classroom until we can get busses to come and…" He stopped short. As they looked outside, they saw thunder hitting the ground again, and again, and again. "What the heck is going on here?"

One of the Science teachers shrugged their shoulders. "This… this doesn't follow the laws of science!" He cried. "I don't know anything at all." He turned to Mrs. Prower helplessly, as if she would know the answer. "What do you think, Cosmo?"

Everyone turned to look at her. She didn't like all the attention she was getting. "Maybe my husband might know." They all knew he was a genius, and a far better scientist than any of them. Cosmo was an expert at the properties of life, but not non-living things, or storms, for that matter.

She went back inside her classroom. "Students, does any one of you have a cell phone?"

"But we're not supposed to have cell phones!" Sarah cried innocently.

"Sarah, may I please use your cell phone." She asked pleasantly. The students all watched as Sarah handed Mrs. Prower her cell phone. "Thank you Sarah." She muttered something under her breath, something about physic teachers and knowing just about everything.

(Elsewhere…)

Sonic watched with his very own eyes from a distance as the city's power went off all at once. "There's no way this is a normal power outage." Sonic said to himself. "There's only one person who could have been involved… and that's Eggman!"

A/N More suspense! Hopefully in later chapters, you'll see the occupations of the other Sonic characters. I'll try to introduce them all if possible, even my O.C. if I can find the room for him. Please Read & Review, but most importantly, stay tuned!
