A.N. Crap. Crap. This took forever. I'm sorry. I got my ass grounded. ANYWAYS, the next couple of chapters MAY be slightly SU-centric. Thank you as always to our wonderful reviewers, few as they are, and the readers who silently support this. You're all great.

ONWARDS!

About a week later…

The tardy bell rang just as one last kid skidded into the classroom for Computer Science, shoes squeaking on the tiled floor. Levi Ackerman (Attack on Titan) barely glanced up from his book. He let a minute or so pass, reached the end of the chapter, and closed his book, standing up. "I'm too tired for this shit," he announced in a bored tone. "Pearl will be teaching you brats today." he nodded to the teacher's (that is, his) assistant, Pearl (Steven Universe), who attempted a smile.

"Are you going drinking with Kakashi again?" someone near the back of the classroom called. Laughter rippled through the room. Levi and Kakashi Hatake (Naruto) were well known for ditching their students and hanging out together, usually at the local pub or the school's roof.

"I am not going drinking with Kakashi," Levi stated, deadpan, "I am going off-campus to complain about you brats with Kakashi, and alcohol just happens to be included."

"That's what they all say," the same kid quipped, and again, laughter rippled through the class as Levi walked out the door. Pearl cleared her throat.

"Alright, class," she said, struggling to smile. After only a week, she'd already found out how hard it was to get a high-school class to be civil. "Today we'll-"

"Can we do, like, a speed challenge?" The boy who had just barely made it to class interrupted, his hand shooting into the air. He had emerald green eyes, spiked blue hair, and looked suspiciously familiar. The rest of the class shouted protest.

"You always want to do speed games!" Sora (Kingdom Hearts) yelled.

"I'm good at them! So sue me!" the blue-haired boy fired back.

"Not all of us are goddamn super-sonic hedgehogs!" Cloud (Final Fantasy series) said, pounding his fist on the table. Link (Legend of Zelda) nodded enthusiastically in agreement. "If you're so fast, then why are you always late to class?!" Cloud followed up.

"I get held up! It happens!" the blue-haired boy (who is indeed Sonic the Hedgehog, in human form, from the games of the same name) snapped, rising from his chair.

"Hey! Don't you talk bad about Sonic!" Alfred F. Jones (aka America, from Hetalia) yelled. "He's saved all our asses more than once!"

"WE'VE ALL DONE THAT!" the class shouted collectively. When the Wall went down, some sort of villain from someone's continuity was bound to show up eventually, and the entire school (or nearly) ganged up to kick their butt. Sonic's speed had been a crucial part of many plans-but no more than anyone else's powers had been.

"You just defend him because you like his games!" Tucker (Red vs Blue) yelled.

"So? There's nothing wrong with that!" Alfred said, standing quickly.

"Please, settle down! I'm going to assign detention!" Pearl yelled, desperately floundering to get control of the class, but her cries went unheard in the clamor. The class was beginning to dissolve into a riot when the door slammed open, and everyone froze, fearing Levi had returned after all.

Garnet (Steven Universe) stood imposingly in the doorway, wraparound sunglasses gleaming. "Pearl. We need to go."

"G-Garnet?" Pearl asked, turning. "What are you doing home from college? I thought you-"

"There's somethin' wrong with Steven," Garnet interrupted. "He collapsed a' school today. Th' teacher called me. He's in th' hospital. I've already got Amethyst. We need to go," she repeated, with emphasis. Pearl paled.

"All right, change of plans. You're on your own. Try not to destroy the computers," Pearl said warningly, then ran out the door, Garnet speaking to her in a soft voice as they left.

There was a long moment of silence in the classroom. A few worried whispers rose. Marco (the one from Animorphs), unable to stand the tension, lept to his feet. "DEATH FIGHT!"

The class let out a loud cheer and began a battle royale.
