School is School!!

Chapter 9# Manic Goes Manic

Note from the author: Bring a radio and a CD soundtrack of the X-files.

"I-I c-c-can't believe it!!" cried Manic the hedgehog. "What is it?" Knuckles the echidna asked, and swiftly glanced at what Manic was gawking at.

"OH HOLY EMERALDS!!" Knuckles cried. "Hello Knuckles, what's wrong?" Rouge the bats asked, walking towards Knuckles. There were *two* Rouges! "W-who are you?" asked Knuckles to the Rouges.

"Why, this is Nails," said Rouge, introducing the bat that looked just like her. "But -- how -- you--?" Manic was still shocked. "Oh, it's just that I'm Yuji Naka's prototype of Rouge," Nails answered, smiling.

"Prototype? You mean-- Rouge is-- THE ULTIMATE LIFE FORM!!" Knuckles shouted in disbelief. "Ugh, quit it with the ultimate life form. Reminds me of the creepy Shadow's lame intro," Rouge said, closing her eyes, as she placed her two fingers on her forehead. Manic arched an eyebrow. "Don't tell him I said that," warned Rouge, pointing at Manic.

"By the way Knuckles, I got a new boyfriend! Goodbye!" Rouge said as she walked off. "But- but- WHY??!! Why?? Was it something I said?? Something I done??" Knuckles asked, his body shivered in panic. "Well...." Rouge said, dragging her words in a bratty way. "I just got bored of you, that's all. See you," Rouge continued, and started to leave.

Knuckles was getting even more frightened. "Who is this new guy??" Knuckles demanded, blocking Rouge's way. "Oh... let's say that he's here...." Rouge said playfully, her eyes looked away as she had a smile on her face. "What?!?!? Manic??!!" Knuckles spluttered out in surprise. "ME?!" Manic felt his heart jump with shock. "Um...." Rouge paused. "Manic! I'm going to KILL you!!" Knuckles yelled as he started bashing up Manic.

"Oh poor dear, he sure doesn't know how to play games with you," Nails said, shaking her head, giggling a little. "Ah, don't worry. Besides, I guess since he doesn't get the point, I guess I'll just take a walk with some other cutie," replied Rouge, as she continued on her merry way, Nails on the other hand, walked in a different direction.

Just then, Sonic the hedgehog sped towards Knuckles and Manic. "What's u-?" Sonic stopped short in his greeting as his eyes widen in shock. "Stop punching Manic! You're going to kill him!" Sonic yelled, as he tried to pry Knuckles away from the bruised Manic.

"What the heck is wrong with you Knuckles?! You can't go around punching people!" Sonic yelled. "He-- he--he" Knuckles fumed, pointing at Manic with hatred. The poor unconcious little green hedgehog was lying on the ground. "Look at him! He looks half-dead! Let's bring him into my house," Sonic said, as he dragged Manic into the house. Knuckles felt guilty and helped to carry Manic into the house too.

Knuckles looked around the house. It looked cozy and there were a lot of instruments lying around. "I thought you live in the castle," Knuckles said. "I do, but the Sonic Underground would surely like a nice house of our own. It's tax-free too," replied Sonic.

As Manic was laid carefully on the bed, Knuckles waited as Sonic was about to call the doctor. Suddenly, something strange had happen.

Very, very strange. (Play the X-Files theme song. Ooooo! Creepy!!!)

Manic bolted upright and swiftly glanced around the room. His eyes glowed an eerie blue colour, as Manic's expression was unreadable. "Oh Manic! I'm glad you're alright!" Sonic cried in relief.

"You look like Sonic," Manic said to Sonic. "You look like Knuckles," Manic said to Knuckles. He then took out a mirror and said, "And I look like me." He then threw away the mirror. The sound of the mirror crashing filled the room.

Silence.

Utter silence.

"Um, isn't breaking mirrors 7 years bad luck?" Knuckles asked. Manic gave Knuckles a look of realisation. "Oh yeah!" Manic said, as he quickly laid on the bed, throwing cardboard numbered cards that ranged from 1 to 7. He sat up and glared at Knuckles,"Now there's no more bad luck!".

"Manic, since that you are okay, I guess I should get going. See you!" Knuckles said, and started to leave.

Manic's hand swiftly lashed out at Knuckles shoulder. He lowered his head, as his eyes met Knuckles'. "Stop. Right. There. Move one more step and you will be mutiliated, with your hands in your _guts_!" Manic said in a strange whispery voice that was loud enough to be heard. Knuckles stopped dead in his tracks, but he looked indifferent.

Silence.

Dead silence.

"What does guts mean?" Knuckles asked. "Come closer," Manic said mysteriously. Sonic and Knuckles leaned towards Manic, as if he's going to tell a secret. Manic whispered, "I don't know what does _guts_ mean." Sonic and Knuckles falls over (anime thing). Then something outside the window caught Knuckles' eye. Rouge was walking with another guy!! "Nooo!! Roouggggeeee!!" cried Knuckles as he head for the window.

"If you shalt move from this house, thou shalt be cursed!" Manic warned Knuckles. Too late! Knuckles was already gliding out the window! Manic's eyes narrowed. Just then, Knuckles stopped dead in mid-air with a dramatic matrix pose.

CRASH!

Knuckles fell! Sonic looked out the window and saw Knuckles groaning and grunting, lying on the pavement, injured, trying to reach Rouge. Sonic looked at Manic, and then at Knuckles, and then at Manic.

"AAAAHHHHHHH!!!" Sonic screamed, waving his arms about as he dashed out of the house as fast as he could, knocking and tripping over some of the instruments on the floor.

"Amazing!" Manic said to himself, looking at his hands with a wide smile spread across his face. "With these powers, I am invincible!! Bwahahahahahaha!!" Manic then walked out of the house, and went looking for his next victim.

(Eerie X-files song plays... OoOoOOoOooohh......)

"Manic! Go somewhere else! You are destroying my peaceful morning," said Nails, annoyed. "Rouge....," Manic started to say. "It's Nails. Nails. Nails!" shouted Nails, even more annoyed. "What's crashin', duddete?" Manic asked emotionlessly.

"Oh Sonic crashed into a streetlight," said Nails pointing at the nearby smashed-up streetlight. "And also, I think I smuged my eyeshadow," she added, looking at her hand-sized mirror. "Nails, if you do not return to where you came from, your true face shalt be revealed!" Manic warned. "Hmph! At least I don't have green hair that sticks up!" Nails muttered, annoyed. Manic's eyes narrowed in anger.

Suddenly, Nails' beautiful mask slipped from her face. She tried to grab it. She missed! "Noo! My true face!" Nails cried, looking at her hand-sized mirror. There was great ugliness on her face, it was so terrible, so frightening, so scaring for there was....

a *pimple* on her face!!

"NNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh Sonic! Stop! Stop! Argh!" Amy Rose the pink hedgehog cried as she tripped over a stone and bumped into Manic. "Oops! Sorry!" Amy said quickly and unsincerely, pushing Manic aside as she chased her hero, Sonic. "Amy. Hold it right there," Manic said, pointing at Amy. Amy glanced back at Manic and sulked, "What for?". And she continued to run.

"Run any more and thou shalt feel your devotion to Sonic slipping away! And Sonic will chase you!!" Manic warned Amy. Still running, Amy turned around and looked at Manic questioningly. Manic grinned, evilly.

Suddenly----

 "Amy!!" Sonic cried, running towards Amy. "NO! NOT YOU!" Amy cried, as she started to run, screaming her head off as Sonic chased her in circles.

"Let's see who is the next unlucky one, heh, heh, heh...," Manic said evilly, rubbing his hands together. Standing outside a row of shops, Manic spotted a black hedgehog and an overlander.

"Maria, I sense something evil is coming this way," Shadow whispered to Maria. "Isn't this necklace pretty?" Maria asked, showing Shadow a golden-chain necklace that had a golden rose on it. "We better get going! The evil presence is somewhere here!" Shadow whispered, as he grabbed Maria's wrist and was about to drag her out of the jewelry shop,

"Hello," Manic greeted. "AAAAAAAHHHH!!!" screamed Shadow. "Are you OK Shadow?" Maria asked as she placed her hand on Shadow's forehead. "Shadow, if you do not want your darkest nightmares to come true, lend me 15 mobiuns," Manic told Shadow.

"But I don't have any money," Shadow said quickly, and hurried out of the jewelry shop. "Shadow! Your lies shalt bring you your worst nightmares!" Manic cried, as he walked away, grinning evilly.

"Shadow! I bought the necklace! I used your credit card!" Maria cried happily, showing her golden rose necklace. She gave the red credit card to Shadow. Shadow stared at the credit card, and dropped it. Shadow looked up into the sky and cried, "NNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

As Manic walked, he spotted someone with shoulder-length red hair. "Halt right there," Manic said, as he pointed to the red haired hedgehog. Meczy spun around, and pointed at Manic, "If you move, you shall feel my wrath!" "Oh yeah? I'll curse you!" Manic said menacingly. "I will curse you with uh.... with uh.... with something!" Meczy replied. Manic paused for a while. "Are you thinking what I'm thinking?" Manic said evilly. Meczy smiled evilly.

Manic and Meczy turned towards you. (The screen starts shaking). They hold up their arms, pointed at you, and they smile evilly.

(Everything goes blank)

Have a nice day.

Heh, heh, heh.
