Welcome back once again, its time for school! You like school? Everybody goes to school of course, I'm gonna do my best with the whole school deal since I went to school a few times and I've seen a couple of movies that have involved the characters going to school. Let's blast through this one.

Bloonic went to school in Central City, one of his favorite cities in the world. He'd visited Station Square and Westoplis a couple times, mostly during school fieldtrips or during his free time. But, because his parents lived just outside Central City, Central City Elementry was where Bloonic had his normal life education.

Running through the city on his way to school, he took his time to say hi to folks, pet dogs and cats and pay quick visits to people. The city was peaceful and a well-built metropolis, so lively. It was in the morning, Bloonic had gotten up at six and trained at seven, he was supposed to be at school by eight thirty.

He made it to the school on 1992 Aaron W Street just as the bell rang, catching up with a couple of his friends, Todd Warren and Bill Pollock, Todd was an 11-year-old black haired and blue eyed Hispanic-American, whose parents came from Mexico, and Bill was the 10-year-old redhaired son of a retired British secret agent.

"Good morning, Bloonic." Todd said excitedly, "How've you been and how's your training with your family going?"

"All's great." Bloonic replied, "How's your aunt? I heard she was sick?"

"She's fine herself, it was just a fever, she's better now."

Despite their differences with Bloonic being a hedgehog half vampire and Todd being a human, they were good friends on good terms and, since they became best friends, they were almost like brothers and Todd often looked out for Bloonic just as he would look out for Todd, the two of them protecting each other.

Was Todd aware Bloonic that was half vampire and that his mama was a vampire from another planet in a distant galaxy? Of course, he knew, he and Bloonic had talked about it and Todd had seen a couple vampire films and got to meet Vampirella a couple times, in fact, he wasn't too worried at all.

Most of the kids at school didn't know, mainly because they hadn't heard yet. Bloonic being a hedgehog-vampire hybrid was partially a kept secret, some people had anti-vampire sentiments or just weren't fans of vampires in general. Bloonic feared being laughed at if some of the non-Vampire fans found out.

He and his friends made it to class and found their seats, since Bloonic didn't have a school bag or bring any of his books along, he had to borrow some from Todd. It was a miracle the teachers turned a blind eye to that. Just a few seconds away from eight thirty-five, the teacher entered the room.

Mr. Flynn Kamanski was a bald man wearing a sweater, white undershirt and black jeans, having been teaching here for eight years. He was an ex-G.U.N soldier, who'd retired after ten G.U.N missions and both he and the current G.U.N commander were old friends.

The room was spacious and the seats were occupied by many human pre-teens along with a couple anthromorphic animals; Rabbits, foxes, porcupines and ducks. Bloonic, of course, was the only hedgehog in class so far. As a matter of fact, given his hybrid status, he was also the only vampire in school as well.

"Good morning, students." Mr. Kamanski said.

"Good morning, Mr. Kamanski." The students replied, Bloonic included.

Mr. Kamanski was one of Bloonic's favorite teachers next to Robinson Ortez and Mike Penders, Robinson was a science teacher and Mike was one of the best math teachers in the school. The head principle was Iizuka Oshima, one of the first Asians in years to become a principle at an American school.

As for Mr. Kamanski's teacher profession in school, it varied. Some days it was history and some days it was about being open about yourself or talking about something you knew about your friend that people didn't know. Kamanski had taught history several times in the past week, today he was switching.

"Today, we are going to be looking to the topic of talking about what you know about someone that people don't know about." Kamanski said, Todd shot his hand in the air and everyone looked at him. This is it, Bloonic thought, He's gonna tell everyone else about me and they all don't know the truth.

"Yes, Todd." Kamanski asked.

"My friend, Bloonic," Todd said, "Is not just the son of Sonic the Hedgehog, he's... also half-alien vampire because his mama's a vampire alien."

Some of the kids in the room, those who'd known Bloonic for a bit, broke out into fits of laughter. Many of them were fascinated with vampires, Kamanski only giggled just a bit as he'd known since day one. Regardless, word finally started to spread around the school after Kamanski's class was done.

On the way to science class, Bloonic and Todd passed by a group of kids in the hall, who asked the purple hedgehog if he would "vant to suck some blood" much to Bloonic's annoyance. Some kids sang a couple crude songs in regards to Bloonic, the songs being anti-vampire sentiments.

"Don't worry about 'em, buddy." Todd said, patting the hedgehog on the back, "It'll probably blow over before you know it. Besides, most people like vampires, myself included. So many probably haven't met your mum yet."

"HEY!" Someone shouted.

Bloonic and Todd wheeled around, coming face to face with none other than Bully Boy Billy and his Billy Bully Gang. Bully Boy Billy was a burly spoiled kid in his early teens and tons of kids feared him and his gang, they were well known for their mischief and for being the bully terrors of many schools.

"Whaddaya want, Billy?" Bloonic asked, he'd dealt with this guy so many times and Billy always kept coming back. At this point, he was asking for more punishment. Bloonic and Billy had been enemies for a while now, ever since the hybrid's second week in school, and they'd been in several schoolyard fights.

A neck brace could be seen on Billy's neck, mostly due to the fact that Bloonic had hurt his neck in their last fight. Amazingly, their previous schoolyard fight hadn't left the spoiled kid with a broken neck. Even Billy's left eye looked a bit bruised, it had been since Bloonic punched him in the face last time.

"You're a super freak, hedgehog." Billy said, pointing his finger at the hybrid kid, "Word has it that you're half vampire, so your hedgehog papa got involved with a vampire from space and you came into existance. Whats so special about you other than you can run at 'Sonic speed', 'spin dash' or bite and drink blood?"

"What was that first part?" Anger started boiling in Bloonic, his fists clenching. He wasn't worried about being a hybrid whatever as long as it wasn't a curse, but the one issue he had was being called a freak. While Bloonic was a happy go-lucky kid, he had a dark side like everyone, a dark side that could be unleashed anytime.

As a matter of fact, Bloonic had shown a small bit of his dark and angry side a few times during his previous fights with the bullies causing him issues. He'd been called a weirdo and an emo once, but as for 'super freak'? That crossed the line, Bloonic did not like name calling or insulting insults.

"I said you're a super freak." Billy sneered, "C'mon, whaddaya get when you mix a fast-blue hedgehog with an oh so lovely bloodsucking humanoid being from another planet? You get yourself a freak, a mutant."

Bloonic stepped forward as everyone watched, this was it. Todd seemed nervous, knowing what was probably about to happen. "Nobody..." The pre-teen snarled, fists shaking, "...Calls me… A FREAK!" As he shouted, Bloonic lunged and punched out Benny, one of Billy's buds, before knocking out Brutis with a roundhouse kick.

He socked Billy in the jaw, howling a battle cry, eyes narrowed with rage and fangs bared in a menacing way. Billy tried to defend himself, but Bloonic was tough after days and years of being trained in combat by his family and having just sparred with his parents, Tails, Shadow and Rouge.

Bloonic kicked Billy in the groin, punched him in the gut and knocked him into a wall, the impact hardly hurting the school bully. "YOU WANT A PIECE OF ME?" Bloonic snarled, "THEN THAT'S WHAT YOU'RE GONNA GET! NOBODY CALLS ME A FREAK, NOT YOU, NOT YOUR FRICKIN' FRIENDS AND NOT ANYBODY!"

"Bloonic, stop!" Todd shrieked, he and his friends were getting concerned for the purple hedgehog-vampire hybrid. People were in shock, witnessing the fury of the vampire hybrid. Bloonic's usually calm and brown purple eyes were blazing, flashing orange red and back to their natural color.

Billy recovered from hitting the wall, due to his strength, and dodged just as Bloonic's fist came right at him. "You think you stand a chance against me, Bloonic the Hedgehog?" The bully growled, "I'm tougher than you, I'm Billy Boris, junior boxing champion AND WRESTLING CHAMPION IN THE HISTORY OF SCHOOL!"

"And I am Bloonic the Hedgehog," Bloonic growled, blocking a punch, "Hero in training, the coolest kid in town, son of world hero Sonic the Hedgehog and Princess Vampirella Drakulion of Drakulea AND NOBODY CALLS ME A FREAK!"

If Bloonic wanted to, he could break almost every bone in Billy's body. But he wasn't like that, he was not a cold-hearted monster. His pop didn't take lives, neither did his mum (sometimes), why would HE do that unless it was necessary and his foe was a force of true evil that had to be taken down?

Yet Billy wasn't a bad person, he was just a troublemaker, a very annoying troublemaker who caused too much trouble and just loved picking on people for the sake of picking on people. Why couldn't most schools not have a bully, what was the point of a school having a bully and where did the bullies come from?

A couple of Billy's gang members rushed in to try and aid their friend, yet they ended up getting judo chopped and knocked out by Bloonic just as Benny and Brutis had been knocked out at the start of the fight. The hedgehog kept wailing on the school bully, socking and kung fu kicking the daylights out of him.

The fight seemed to last minutes until, finally, Bloonic struck Billy with enough force, it sent him flying almost all the way across the hallway and he crashed into a school locker shelf. If that wasn't enough to hurt the hedgehog vampire hybrid's human nemesis, a ball fell off and bonked him on the head.

Watching this, several students broke out laughing and taunting the humiliated bully as Bloonic finally calmed down and took a few deep breaths, almost shocked at what had just happened with himself. He was relieved he didn't accidently hurt any of his friends, but it did give a couple people quite a scare.

A couple kids headed over to help a dazed, bruised and bloody-nosed Billy up, they were obviously his friends too. He looked so shaken by what had happened, one look at Bloonic, who wagged his index finger at him Sonic style, was enough to make him yelp in terror and run off down the hallway with his gang behind him.

"Whoa!" Todd exclaimed, patting Bloonic on the shoulder, "I will say, even though that gave me and so many other folks a shock, that was incredible. The way you took on Billy and gave him a beatdown, he's not gonna forget it for the rest of his life and you did a great job making it clear that nobody messes with my pal."

"Thanks." The purple hedgehog said with a shiver, "I guess. Wait until my parents hear about that, whew, just another day at school for good old Bloonic the Hedgehog, hero in training and good buddy with Todd Warren. Hopefully, none of the teachers and principals saw it all and are planning on kickin' me out."

Despite being held up with fighting a bully, Bloonic managed to get to science class on time with his friends. Much to his relief, his science teacher didn't come down hard on him for blowing a gasket and pulverizing the ever-living snot out of Bully the Billy in the hallway.

It was mostly because first, Robinson had not seen the hallway fight. Second, she was busy getting ready for today's science lesson. To the astonishment of the fangy hedgehog, today's science lesson was about how werewolves happened and there was no need for any experiments or attempts to dissect animals.

After hanging out with Tails a lot, science and math were some of Bloonic's favorite subjects in school next to history. He got through science class with no issue as usual and, as for math class, he was able to correctly answer some of the addition and multiplication problems when the teacher asked him to answer them.

By afternoon as the bell rang, it was time to head home and spend the rest of the day with his parents. That's right, the hero in training did morning school even though school days were six to eight hours from morning to afternoon. Regardless, he was fine and couldn't wait to chill at home.

Then again, why not go hang out with some of his friends and family aside his school pals and papa Sonic's buddies? After all, he just loved spending time with the people he knew and called family...

There ya go, folks. Did you have fun with the school part of the story and what did you think of that crazy, epic school hallway fight scene even though Bloonic was wailin' on his enemy most of the time? Let's hear some positivity, positivity helps me keep goin'.

Until next time, guys and gals. PEACE!
