Ally...Disclaimer: Be patient. The action WILL start soon. I promise. For now, I gotta introduce all the characters and get the story going. Thanks. Oh, and I still own my characters and not Sega's. Oh well. Don't steal my characters. Please. Oh and also, My chapters are gonna get longer, really. But like I said, I'm just introducing characters and getting the plot going.
Chapter III
"Here you go, Mrs. Campbell. Signed and paid." Element said, and slapped down the slip.
"Well, well, well, Element. I thought your parents wouldn't sign this." She said, eying him suspiciously.
"They didn't. Link did."
"No, Element. No. Link is not a parent or legal guardian. You can not go."
"Check with the office!" Element argued. He wasn't about to miss this trip. He would do all he could to go, even it meant mind control.
"Fine. But to prove to you that you can not go." She walked out of the room. Element sat in her chair and opened the drawer. Pens, pencils, a book... boring. He opened another. Paper. Tests. Nothing interesting. Until he came across one stapled-together stack of paper. On the cover it said Shadow. Just... Shadow? He thought, and flipped it open. It was just the story of Shadow saving Mysterio City. Until he got to the last page...
Shadow couldn't gain access to the Master Emerald, which could destroy the Blob once and for all. The guard, Knuckles did not care what happened to the city. He lived elsewhere. But Shadow wasn't about to give up. While the Blob was in it's giant final form, Shadow fought Knuckles for it. Knuckles finally managed...
Mrs. Campbell walked through the door. Element shoved the papers back in the drawer, closed it, and shot up. He used a time stop to get back to his desk without the teacher seeing, and played it when he was settled in and pretended to write on his essay on World War Two.
"Soooo?" Element said confidently.
"You can go." She mumbled back.
"See? You just have to trust me mor-"
"Who opened my desk?!"
"Or not."
"Element, you do realize that you shouldn't have done that, I'm sure." The principal said to him.
"Uh-huh."
"Well, I see no harm done. Element, you can go."
"What?" His teacher asked in disbelief. "He can just go?!"
"Was anything in your desk stolen or damaged?"
"Well, no, but I mean-"
"Did he cause any harm to you or other students?"
"Well, not physical, but really, Karen, think abo-"
"Then he can go."
"But he might have seen the papers!"
"What?!" the principal said, suddenly angry. "What did you see?"
"Pens, pencils, reports," He saw his chance to wreck her job. And he smiled an evil smile. "Therapy papers."
"Huh?" Karen asked, her eyes darting to Mrs. Campbell, who looked outraged.
"Yup. She has anger problems and is a recovering alcoholic."
"No I'm not!!!" Mrs. Campbell yelled. She wasn't, but she sure was one bad teacher. Element slid out of the room as the principal and his teacher exchanged yells.
He slid into the chair next to Melissa, a smile on his face.
"What-?"
"Wait for it." They waited a minute.
"Attention all seventh graders." Karen said over the intercom. "Mrs. Campbell has had to... leave suddenly, and not come back for a while. A substitute will cover for her until we can find a permanent teacher. That is all." the class cheered. Melissa looked at Element in disbelief. He looked over at her, smiled, and shrugged.
"Nice one!" Link said, after Element told the story. "We always hated her. Great move." Chill applauded him.
"Good job, young blood."
"Chill, you better hope Element doesn't turn out like you." Link's girlfriend, Katherine said. To clear things up... not Catherine, not Katie, not Katy, not Kat, not Lynn, Katherine.
OK, I'm about done introducing characters and pre-storyline build up... just wait.
