The conversation with principal Madeira had been a tough challenge for the rest of the brawl Fighters as they were placed back into the familiar scene of the school's hallways. It was always silent whenever every student that attended were in their classrooms with the exception of those on bathroom breaks, but the repeated footsteps of the brawlers had echoed throughout the school's quiet setting, only with their angry faces shining through and becoming visible.
Sonic and Zero Suit Samus, who were hanging in the back of the crowd, were both exchanging quizzical looks from one another as they looked at Ike, Wolf, and Snake. They were primarily eyeing Wolf because the Star Wolf leader acted like the head of the pack with the swordfighter and the Mercenary behaving like his betas; they agreed with everything he said or did, participated in everything he did, and they were always in charge when Wolf isn't around. The blue hedgehog looked at them with a worried expression, his tongue held back as if he was thinking about what he wanted to say.
He wouldn't even think about it out of fear of losing the wolf fighter's respect for him as a brawl fighter, but what choice did he really have? For years, Sonic and Zero Suit have witnessed the usual mischief and trouble making that their housemates were engaging in as well as long-term targeted harassment against certain individuals who as so much as look at them funny or say one mean thing about them. Quite frankly this was the day when the blue blur has had enough of this.
"Who does he think he is?!" Pokemon trainer hissed angrily as he and Lucas were side by side with each other, "why are we the ones being held accountable for something we haven't even done yet!?"
"Madeira's such a worrywart fighting alloy," Ike sneered as he walked with his arms behind his head, chuckling slightly after that sentence. "It's as if they don't trust us at all. We've been good, we attend school daily, we have a perfect track record! If they don't even have an ounce of faith in us, what's the point?"
"...Maybe this must be the reason," Zero Suit Samus stepped in, her voice low and apprehensive.
"He probably doesn't trust you guys because of what you all have been doing recently."
It was as if those exact words had been triggering enough for the alpha leader to hear because as soon as she finished, Wolf snapped his head behind him while casting an angry looking, sinister scowl. His lips curved back into a more serious snarl he huffed out a breath of disapproval and hunched over to the space bounty hunter, his hulking lupine height looming over her regular human figure.
"You wanna say that again?" He growled, sensing as if he was going to start seeing red at any moment.
"We shouldn't be doing this anymore!" Snapped Sonic, "you're only causing more trouble by doing this and you're only hurting yourselves a lot more than how much you're hurting Ponny!"
"Don't be ridiculous, blue," Pit piped up, "why should we immediately bend the knee to these people when they tell us to be extra special nice to the subspace spawns?! You know what they did to us from the beginning of our existence!! They're all scum!"
"Do you hear yourself right now!? You are just adding more fuel to the fire for doing these things!!"
Olimar came up from the crowd and used his own body strength to headbutt Sonic in the groin with his glass helmet, a sharp pain going through the blue blur's nerves and sending it to his brain, causing him to grab at his private area as if his life depended on it.
"Did you not see what one of them did to my Pikmin!?" He barked though his helmet, his closed eyes staying in place while his tiny eyebrows narrow down. "They killed them simultaneously!!"
Sonic regained his composure for short seconds and then took a deep breath to indicate what he was wanting to do. His fist clenched tightly to the point where his fingers almost dug into the white cotton of his gloves, he ran up to Wolf and...
PUNCH!!
A mighty fist summoned by the blue hedgehog had been thrown and decked the Star Wolf leader in the face, a long pause permeating the school hallway's silent air as the other brawl Fighters stopped in their tracks, turning their heads and curious gazes over the spectacle. Sonic had his peach colored muzzle scrunched into an angry snarl and his eyelids drooping in an angry position.
Ike tried to come out of the crowd to stop the blue blur from inflicting anymore pain on the Wolf fighter, but Snake grabbed him by the shoulder to prevent him from doing so. Flying into the air like a piece of paper in the wind, Wolf was flung across in the empty dead of silence and then slammed by gravity onto the hard, concrete floor of the school. Miniature droplets of blood came flying and splattered against Sonic's blue fur, staining his fist and body with dark red stains of cornerian blood.
Amidst the curious crowd of the brawlers, Sonic held his stance as he took deep breaths clenching his stained fist, his chest heaving in and out from the blow he gave to Wolf. His face, not a pretty sight for a cartoonish hero, gave off an unhealthy mixture of negative emotions thrown across the vicinity. His forearm twitched erratically from the aggressive altercation he started with one of his housemates the blue blur unfolded his hand and let it settle, watching Wolf try to struggle from the ground and breathing heavily.
Wolf's growling was in a low tone as he curled his lips inward to form a perfect snarl while being met with the familiar sense of exposing his fangs to the rest of the brawlers. Ike, Pit, Lucas, and Snake stared at them with their mouths wide open, but Olimar and Pokemon trainer tried to prevent a fight from breaking out between two of them, but there was no turning back now; Wolf leaped up from the floor and snapped his head backwards at Sonic, his face becoming more of a nightmare than usual.
The star wolf leader roared loudly like lightning as he pounced himself onto Sonic, unleashing a barrage of bites and snaps at the blue blur's midnight blue skin, sinking his sharp teeth into the midriff. Hissing in pain and frustration, Sonic threw the Wolf fighter into the ground and punched him in the face multiple times, blood and saliva flying in a tiny rain of violence. This was until Wolf stopped his violently thrown punches by locking his jaws into the cuffs of his white gloves and turned his head back up, launching him into the opposite side of the air accompanied with him.
The blue hedgehog flew into the air and was slammed into the walls of the Academy, whereas the fight escalated and made the other brawl Fighters back away reluctantly to avoid being caught in the crossfire of the brutal fight. Wolf got up from the ground and limped a little, a sly smirk creasing across his gray muzzle and chuckling evilly. "You're such a dork, blue," he sneered, "thinking you can fight these battles yourself..."
"You shut your damn mouth, you furfag," Sonic barked angrily as he wiggled his fingers to awaken them from the tightness of clench them into fists. Dashing off into the Star Wolf leader's direction, Sonic threw more punches at him, only for Wolf to dodge each and every one of them, making it look as if the blue blur was just throwing hands into invisible air. Waiting for the next round of Sonic throwing punches, Wolf grabbed him by the arm and flung him upwards, slamming him down on his back into the hard floor. He slammed a rough elbow into his blue housemate's body, knocking the breath out of him for a split second until Sonic released a powerful kick and lunged Wolf off of him, giving him a higher advantage.
Wolf landed on his stomach once again, which was followed by Sonic wrapping an arm around his neck and choking him, his lips still curved into an angry growl. The Wolf fighter tried to muster the energy to howl for help from the other brawlers, but the blue hedgehog used his free hand to clamp down onto his snout and muffled out his pained screams, his eyes once emerald green now turned into a shade of red ruby, glowing faintly from far away.
"You asked for this, you piece of shit!" Sonic barked, his voice lowered from its usual happy tone into a deep menacing snarl.
Laying on the ground and accepting his newfound fate of being strangled to death by a mere blue hedgehog, Wolf could feel his eyes rolling into the back of his head as his throat struggled to find the right sounds to make whenever he needed to call for help, but doing that has now been proven futile.
With his leftover vision, Wolf darted his eyes at the other brawlers as they looked on with amazement and fear, inching more steps back away from the ongoing scuffle. As if his vision had gone blurry the wolf fighter gasped out a few more words to his blue housemate before he finally croaked from being restricted of breath. That was until his neck had been released by Sonic's strong grasp and his breath was regained finally.
The blue blur was breathing heavily like a dog as he looked down at Wolf with his eyes narrowed in a threatening expression, his fist settling down fully into a simple open hand. The star wolf leader turned his head over to his blue housemate as he gasped for air from the headlock he was put into. Sonic's lips quivered as he mustered up the energy to speak to him, only ending in a simple huff.
"I could've broken your damn neck had I not been so peaceful," Sonic growled, stepping back away from the wolf fighter, "just know you brought this on yourself."
The other brawl Fighters looked at each other and exchanged glances all over the crowd while a silent chorus of murmurs clouded over them from the other side of the hallways, their faces now blank. The blue blur slowly limped back into the crowd and turned to witness Wolf become a hideous mess of blood, sweat, and scars. Zero Suit Samus, who looked at the blue hedgehog with wide eyes, took him away from the crowd of brawlers and inspected his wounds.
"You took it too far," Ike sneered angrily at Sonic as he was being placed in the space bounty hunter's lap and had his bruises checked over. "You could've killed our buddy, blue!"
"So what you're doing to Ponny is okay, but when I finally do something about it, it's wrong!?"
"That's different!!" Snake spat as he stepped up from behind the swordfighter, "Ponny is a threat to our society and our well-being!"
"Maybe to you!" Sonic shot back. "This little grudge you guys hold is getting out of hand!! Don't you ever stop and think that maybe she has feelings!? I guess not because you're too busy thinking about yourselves!"
Zero Suit Samus placed a soft hand onto the blue blur's peach colored arm and shook her head slightly at him to prevent a fight from breaking out. She light instructed him to stay still as she treated his wounds, unaware of the harsh retaliation Sonic was getting from the other brawlers.
"You have to admit Sonic is right," informed the bounty hunter, "this little bullying thing you guys are doing isn't helping any. You're not gaining anything from it as you are only hurting yourself and others-"
"shut your mouth, bitch!!" Wolf barked angrily from the floor, regaining his voice as he took a deep breath and rose right back up like a phoenix sprouting its wings.
"You don't know anything, you feebleminded blue whor-"
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE!?" A loud voice roared from across the halls, almost shattering the academy's windows and echoing throughout the corridors. The brawl Fighters all turned their heads to see who it was, only to feel a sense of remorse and anguish at the mere sight of... three of the smash Veterans Donkey Kong, Ness, and Pikachu.
Sonic gulped a knot down his throat while the rest of his brawler brethren were wide eyed in shock for their comeuppance, their minds quickly shifting to becoming sorry and apologetic. The blue blur still stood his ground with Zero Suit by his side, their entire gazes looking sorrowful.
"I wasn't notified that there would be an all out argument and battle in the hallways!" Pikachu squeaked from behind the duo, "we just had a talk about this earlier, didn't we!?"
Ness ran up to Wolf, who was limping from the excessive wounds he was given, and pulled him down to inspect his injuries. The PSI child lightly rubbed his fingers against the scratches and marks, causing the Star wolf leader to wince a bit in response to the pain.
"What happened to you, Wolf? You look like you got ragged on!" He exclaimed.
"I did, actually! You can ask any one of the brawlers, including HIM!!" Wolf pointed an accusatory finger at Sonic from across the hallway, his hand slightly wobbling from the impact of having his arm nearly ripped off during the scuffle. Ness looked up at Sonic, his eyes in a very unpleasant focus. Pikachu and Donkey Kong both padded up to the blue hedgehog and inspected him further, his deep blue body in the same state as his fellow wolf fighter.
"You both messed each other up really good," the yellow mouse pokemon said as he hopped off of the gorilla's shoulder and assisted Zero Suit Samus, while he left the other smash Veteran with the other brawlers.
"Wolf, Sonic. Come with me," he demanded lightly as he concentrated his gaze at the two and then turned to the others. "You guys go back to your pods. There is a certain matter we need to discuss when we come back."
