"Hey guys, how's it going. Deadriser here. Hope you guys are doing well. I just want to tell you all something before I get into this. I'm probably not gonna upload for a while. I'm gonna be really busy. Sorry about that but I'm not gonna upload until it's over. Anyway, putting that aside, sit back, relax, and enjoy chapter 7"
Sonic was asleep under a tree next to the school. He was awoken by Knuckles and Tails who looked really worried.
Tails: C'mon, Sonic! Wake up!
Knuckles: For emerald's sake, Sonic! GET UP!
Sonic: Huh...uh...what's going on?
Tails and Knuckles: WE'RE LATE!
Tails: WE HAVE TWO MINUTES TO GET TO CLASS, YOU DUMBASS!
Sonic: Darn! We're not gonna make it! Let's speed up! (write in the reviews if you understand that reference XD)
Sonic was just about to go full speed into school when Knuckles held him back.
Knuckles: No, Sonic. I admit that we were all over using our powers yesterday. We have already made ourselves the talk of the school. Let just take it slow.
A voice could be heard from the speakers inside.
Celestia: lessons are about to begin. Please proceed to your class.
Knuckles: …okay, just this once.
Sonic: All right. LET'S GO!
Sonic grabbed Knuckles and Tails' arms and ran into the school. They all had another P.E class. (I'm gonna make all of the classes the same so it is more simple). Sonic ran and threw his brothers into the changing room seconds before the final bell went. Knuckles and Tails went to get changed while Sonic took a second to catch his breath. He's not used to running so fast first thing in the morning.
Sonic: Whew, that went well.
?: Hey, you're the new guy, right?
Sonic turned around to see a figure standing behind him. He looked oddly familiar but Sonic was too tired to think about who he was.
Sonic: Yep! Name's Sonic.
?: I'm Matrix (NOT AN OC).
Sonic: Hey, how come I never saw you in class yesterday.
Matrix: I was…ill
Sonic: Oh, okay. Well, see you outside.
Sonic ran outside to find his class. Matrix jogged behind with an evil grin on his face. At the back of the changing room, Tails and Knuckles were staring at Matrix with confusion.
Knuckles: Is it just me, or did that guy seem oddly familiar?
Tails: Hmm…maybe. But I'm too tired to do an investigation right now. Let's go.
Knuckles and Tails left the changing room, not far from Sonic and "Matrix". When they all got to the rest of their class, Sonic noticed that there was another P.E class not that far away from them. He also noticed that Rainbow Dash and Applejack were in that class.
Coach: Alright, everyone! Listen up!
Everyone stopped their conversations and listened to the coach.
Coach: So you may be wondering why the other P.E class is here. Well it is very simple. We are gonna be having a football match (or soccer. If you are American). Since there are 11 of you, it should be a perfect football game. You all decide who's in what position. Give your teams a captain and be ready to start in 5 minutes.
The coach left the students to set up their player's positions. The people in that class were Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Matrix, Octavia, Vinyl, Derpy, Lyra, Bon Bon, Carrot top and Soarin.
Sonic: So…who's the team captain?
Soarin: I think I should be.
Lyra: No way! Sonic is ten times better than you.
Matrix: I agree.
Octavia: Personally, I think Soarin is better. What do you think Vinyl…Vinyl?
Octavia turned to Vinyl who was listening to Skrillex. Octavia sighed and took her headphones out.
Vinyl: Hey! My beats!
Octavia: Football. Team captain. Sonic or Soarin?
Vinyl: Oh...Uhh…Sonic, obviously.
Knuckles: Why don't we just do a vote. Who votes for Sonic?
5 people put their hands up for Sonic and 4 people put their hands up for Soarin.
Sonic: Looks like I'm captain.
Soarin: Fine. At least let me be up front.
Sonic: Sure. Me, Soarin, and Carrot Top are up front. Lyra, Tails, Octavia and Vinyl are in midfield. Bon Bon, Matrix and Derpy are defence. Knuckles. You're in goal. Any questions?
Derpy raised her hand.
Sonic: Yes, Derpy?
Derpy: Can I go to the bathroom?
Carrot Top face-palmed.
Carrot Top: You went five minutes ago.
Derpy: I just went to eat a breakfast bar. I was running late.
Sonic: Be REALLY quick. We're starting in two minutes.
Derpy: GOT IT!
Derpy ran to the toilet. Just as she left, the coach came up to Sonic's team.
Coach: Okay. Who is the captain?
Sonic: I am.
Coach: Is everyone ready?
Sonic: Derpy went to the bathroom. Besides that, we're ready.
Coach: Okay.
Coach left. Sonic saw that Rainbow Dash was walking up to him with her team. Sonic began smirking.
Sonic: So, how's it going, Skittles?
Rainbow Dash: Pretty good, blue boy.
Sonic: You seem confident.
Rainbow Dash: That's cause I am. You may have beaten my record. But no one beats my team in a game of football. We have won all of our matches in football. We can't lose.
Sonic: We'll just see about that.
Rainbow Dash: I guess we will.
Sonic: See you on the field.
Sonic watched as Rainbow Dash's team walked away. He saw that in the middle of the crowd was Starlight, Trixie and Flash. Tails and Knuckles seemed to notice too. They both walked over to Sonic.
Knuckles: You saw what I saw, right?
Sonic: Yep.
Tails: And knowing those people, they are probably gonna use their powers to win this match.
Sonic: Yep.
Knuckles: We need to make sure that we keep all three of those guys in check. Especially Flash.
Sonic: You still pissed from yesterday.
Knuckles: Nobody pushes me around like that. Of course I'm pissed.
Sonic: Well, now it's time to even the score.
Once Derpy had made it back, both teams went to the football pitch. Sonic and Rainbow Dash went to the centre of the field to shake hands. The two captains left the centre and let Soarin and Carrot Top start the round. Everyone got into their positions. Sonic looked at Rainbow Dash's team layout and got a bit confused.
Sonic (thinking): Why is everyone in a random place on the field? What kind of strategy is that?
The Coach blew the whistle. Carrot Top passed to Soarin and everyone began to run out. Soarin ran for a bit and did passed the ball to Sonic who had already had a clear opening of the goal.
Sonic: Over here! I'm open!
Soarin: Here it comes!
Sonic headed the ball and just about to shoot when a sudden pain went rushing through his head and it caused him to yelp in pain. He stepped back a bit and this gave an opportunity for Applejack, the goalkeeper, to tap the ball into the box, pick it up and throw it to Flash Sentry. Sonic felt the pain get even worse. It caused him to fall on the floor.
Tails and Knuckles: SONIC!
Both of them ran to Sonic who was struggling to get back up. Sonic could hear a voice inside his head.
The voice: You will regret ever trapping me in this wretched place, hedgehog! There is no escape!
The pain went away. The voice stopped. Sonic felt perfectly normal again. He got back up just as Tails, Knuckles and the coach got back to him.
Tails: Sonic, are you okay?
Sonic: I'm fine now.
Coach: Do you need a time out or anything?
Sonic: Nah, I'm good. Let's keep going.
The coach blew the whistle to continue play. For the whole game, Sonic was thinking about what had happened. It completely distracted him from play. In the end, the final score was 5-3 to Rainbow Dash's team. All of Rainbow Dash's team cheered in victory. All of Sonic's team were annoyed and slightly confused at how they lost with the three most athletic kids in the school on their team.
Soarin: How the hell?!
Derpy: I just don't know what went wrong.
Carrot Top: They were offside on every goal!
Octavia: I can guarantee that you have no idea what offside even means.
Carrot Top: I…I…who here has a dictionary?
Lyra: Whatever, I'm going to get changed.
Everyone went to get changed except for the brothers, Rainbow Dash and Applejack. Knuckles and Tails went to Sonic who was picking up the equipment. He was too deep in his thoughts to notice them.
Tails: Hey, Sonic.
Sonic: Huh…oh…hey, Tails.
Knuckles: Is everything okay?
Sonic: Y-yeah. Yeah I'm good.
Tails: It doesn't take a genius to notice that somethings wrong, Sonic. Just tell us.
Sonic: I…I…heard a voice.
Tails: A voice? When?
Sonic: When I collapsed on the pitch. It felt like it was tearing my brain is half. I'm probably hearing stuff.
Knuckles: No. It's not that. There is something fishy going on here.
Sonic: The voice sounded so…familiar. It sounded a bit like…Mephiles
Tails: Are you sure?
Sonic: I…I think so
Knuckles: It most likely is. They are plotting to take us out.
Tails: And with a chaos emerald in his possession, who knows what he could do.
Applejack: What in the hay are you guys talking about?
All three of them turn around to see Rainbow Dash and Applejack standing right behind them.
Tails: How long were you standing there?
Rainbow Dash: Too long, apparently. What the heck is a chaos emerald?
Applejack: Who is Mephiles?
Rainbow Dash: And how on earth could you hear him inside your head?
Sonic, Tails and Knuckles began to look really nervous.
Applejack: That sounds a lot worse than the stuff that we have to deal with.
Knuckles: Wait, what?
Rainbow Dash: We have had to deal with stuff like magical monsters and evil dragons and stuff like that.
Tails: Oh yeah. I remember now.
Applejack: Hold on. How did you know about that?
Tails: Oh…I, uh-
Sonic: We heard it on the news.
Rainbow Dash: Oh…that makes sense.
Applejack: Don't worry. Your secret's safe with us.
Knuckles: Thanks, girls.
Rainbow Dash: No prob. Oh, wait. Hey, Sonic. Want to have a one on one match after school. As much as I like winning, that wasn't really a fair match.
Sonic: Sure thing.
Applejack: Well, we need to get changed. See you guys soon.
The girls left. Tails and Knuckles helped Sonic take in all of the equipment before the all went to get changed. None of them spoke after that. There was nothing left to talk about.
"And I think that's a good place to end the story. Hope you guys are enjoying. Pleas like, review and favourite and I hope to see you all soon. Till next time…"
