Well, I think none of you guys would see this chapter coming. Espically the results of the teachers and the pushing in of 4 characters. Some reviewers thought I should put in some more new characters. However, there will only be 3 new ones. The other one will be one of the original characters. So enjoy the last period of the day! Please review!

Chapter 7

The End Of The First Apocalypse

After 6th period was over with, Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Axel, Rouge, Shadow, Amy, Tikal and Alyssa walked out of class.

"Okay, our final class is Room 999." Sonic said looking at his scheldule.

"Seriously, why are there so many classrooms?" Knuckles asked confused.

They walked into the classroom. There wasn't hardly a soul inside. There were about 6 kids. That was it. 3 of them being the bullies from the many periods before, 2 of them being Eenis and Bumm-Head, and the final one being a goth girl. She was a purple cat wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black jeans with several holes in them with some holes above the knees and black leather boots. She had 3 piercings in each ear and her fur on her head styled into a spike-like fashion going down her head. She also wore black mascara and black lipstick.

Shadow looked at her and for some reason, couldn't help but stare. They all found themselves some seats. Sonic, Shadow and Knuckles sitting in the same row of three seats right next to Eenis, Bumm-Head and the goth girl. Tails, Alyssa and Axel in the same row, right next to the three bullies. Rouge, Amy and Tikal sat in the same row with each other as well. Espio, Yang Yang and Bruce entered the room and found some seats too.

The bell had rung as the room grew strangely quiet. The teacher had walked in. He was a red armadillo wearing glasses and a tie. He took off his glasses and walked over to his desk. "Hello, people. My name is Mr. Mighty. This class will focus on mostly history. But don't worry. I'll actually make this class interesting. So, don't you worry about a thing in this class. So, being this is the first day of school, I'm gonna let you guys just talk today, but tomorrow, not so lucky. So go ahead."

Everyone in the classroom started to talk. Shadow started a conversation with the goth girl as Sonic and Knuckles listened in.

"Hey."

"Hey."

"What's your name?" Shadow asked.

"Blaze. How about you?"

"Shadow."

"I think that name would suit me better. Feel like swapping?"

Shadow and Blaze started to laugh softly. Sonic and Knuckles observed for themselves. "Check it out, man. Looks like Shadow has found himself somebody." Sonic said being nosy.

"You mean like a new friend?" Knuckles asked not having a clue what's going on.

"Knuckles, you moron." Sonic said covering his eyes. Sonic turned to Amy, Rouge and Tikal. "Hey, Shadow's talking again."

"No way." Rouge said very suprised.

"Does that happen very often?" Tikal asked.

"No. Not really." Rouge said answering her question. Amy glared at Blaze and Shadow talking to each other. Many thoughts surged through her head. 'Oh my god! What's happening? Has Shadow found someone else? If I'm going to win Shadow's heart, I can't let him eye someone else! Oh man! Can this get any worse!'

Espio, Bruce and Yang Yang was talking about different fighting styles. Axel, Alyssa and Tails were talking about their interests and past relationships. Sonic and Knuckles were just talking about what guys talk about. Eenis & Bumm-Head were just, well, being stupid.

1 hour later...

RIIIIINNNNGGGGGG!

The school bell had rang. There was a stampede of high schoolers charging out of the door. Sonic and the others managed to make it out unharmed. They walked out towards the parking lot. "So Tails, how did you like the first day of school?" Sonic asked.

"It was pretty good. Not too many bad sides." said Tails. Then, from out of nowhere, the 3 bullies grabbed Tails from behind. Two of them held Tails by the arms while the last one punched him in the stomach. Tails cried in pain. Sonic and Knuckles heard him and rushed over. Without seeing him, Knuckles pucnched the bullie punching Tails in the face with great force. He was sent towards the hard ground. Knuckles grabbed Tails away, but Tails shook away and kicked the other two bullies in their faces. Not being hurt as much, they let go of Tails.

Tails ran over to Sonic as Sonic checked Tails for any serious beatings. Sonic saw his stomach and saw a huge purple bruise. Sonic was offically heated as was Axel. "That's it! Who the Hell do you guys think you are? No one messes with my friend Tails!" Axel stepped into the conversation. "Sounds like these guys would like a fight. Care to join me Sonic?" Sonic cracked his fist. "With pleasure."

The 3 hedgehogs stood up from their swift beating. "No need to get fussy. Allow us to introduce ourselves. My name is Damien." The hedgehog with blood red eyes said.

"I'm Thorn." The hedgehog with slime green eyes said.

"And I'm Fist." The hedgehog with ice blue eyes.

"And we just happen to be the toughest in the school. Your little friend there happens to be our little target."

"That 'little target' of yours just happens to be my best friend. You pick him, you'll have to pick on me first." said Sonic with Knuckles by his side. Alyssa came over to Tails and held him in her arms.

"Seriously, you guys haven't gotten this sour since I stopped hanging out with you guys, have you?" Blaze said speaking up.

Damien walked over to Blaze. "Now baby, don't be like that. After all, it was your choice." He said as he grabbed Blaze's hand. Blaze tried to slap him, but he grabbed her hand stopping her with a devilish grin on his face.

Shadow had seen enough. He punched Damien right in the cheek with gargantuan force. He immediently let go of Blaze as the punch made contact. As though he felt no pain, although he did, he tried to punch Shadow back. Shadow grabbed his fist swiftly and cracked Damien's knuckle bones. He looked at Damien with a cold, heartless stare. "Pushing around a smaller kid than you is one thing, claiming you have power over others when you clearly don't is another, but grabbing a lady is going too far." He threw Damien but Fist and Thorn caught him. Blaze looked at Shadow and smiled softly. "Consider this a warning. Next time you mess with me or anyone else I know, I wouldn't appreciate the consequences."

Damien walked back towards Fist and Thorn. Fist and Thorn were ready to fight, but Damien held them back. "Not now. Don't worry. We'll be back." he said as they left the parking lot.

Knuckles yelled at them "Rip-off artists!"

Alyssa looked at Tails' wounds. "Hmm...nothing serious. They should go away in a few days."

"Thanks Alyssa." Tails said feeling down.

"Tails, that was very brave. You were there in danger of getting seriously injured."

"Really? Thanks. I feel better. But the only reason I wasn't hurt more was because Knuckles and Shadow helped me out."

"Yeah maybe, but I know deep down you could take them on your own. After all, brains beats brawn every time." Alyssa gave Tails a hug and they walked back with the others.

Blaze went over towards Shadow. "Thanks for that. You know, back there. I owe you one."

"Forget about it. You seriously hung out with those creeps before?"

"Yeah. Back in Middle School. Long story, don't want to talk about it. Anyway, nice display of strength there."

"Thanks."

Amy watched in sadness as Blaze and Shadow continued to talk to each other about the so many things they had in common. Amy felt as though her love for Shadow was slipping away...
