(Oh, man, I love this chapter!)
It was Tuesday, April 27th, 2016 and Honest the Cat was nowhere to be found. No, instead someone else was going to be the main character in her stead. I won't tell you who it is though.
This person (whoever he or she may be) walked into the school building followed by two people. One person was floating two or three centimeters above the ground. The other wasn't.
When he/she walked into their first class, a green haired kid stood up and, like a doofus, called him, "doofy hair Magee". Still don't know who he is?
His name is Silver the Hedgehog. You weren't prepared for that, were you?
Silver sat down, and Mephiles and Blaze sat on either side of him. Shadow sat behind him.
"Hey, look, Faker," he said, turning to Sonic beside him. "There's a fern on the Smart board. This isn't Science class." They both busted out laughing.
"Um, hello!" Silver said with a grumpy face. "I can hear you guys. You're not being funny!"
Mephiles, without turning around, picked up both Shadow and Sonic in his tentacles and slung them into the back of the room.
"You're welcome Silver," he said, still focused on the front of the room. Shadow and Sonic made a bunch of noises, but they were now sitting back in their seats, choosing to keep quiet this time.
Still no one could see the projector. Silver had to sit there with his hands over his head, keeping his quills down so people could see.
When the bell rang, he got up and dashed out of the room. "Hey! Wait up!" Blaze exclaimed, picking up her things and following him as best she could. Mephiles took his time and slowly floated after them.
By the time lunch rolled around, Silver, Blaze, and Mephiles found themselves looking for books in the library rather than eating food in the cafeteria. Mephiles chose a book from a shelf and began to read it. Silver ran up and down the aisle, searching for the perfect book. Blaze watched him silently, a book about the pros and cons of forest fires in her right hand.
Mephiles was looking so intently at his book that he didn't notice the three bird-brains that had wandered into the room. Blaze did, though. She looked over at Silver. "Uh, Silver?" she asked.
"Hm?" Silver said in reply.
"The Babylon Rogues are here. I think we should leave."
"Aw! But I still haven't chosen a book yet!" Silver whined. "Just a second!" Silver got down on all fours and scanned the lower shelves.
Blaze watched the birds intently. Wave was looking at a shelf of reference books. Storm got a large book off the middle level and dropped it on the ground. Wave began turning through the pages.
-What are they doing?-
Jet picked up the book. Crash! He was out the window in seconds with the book in tow, Wave and Storm getting on their Extreme Gear and flying outside behind him.
Blaze's eyes flew open as she gasped. She sent a ball of fire in his direction, but it missed and hit the bookshelf.
"Ah!" Silver yelled. The whole library was a lit in flames after only a few seconds. Blaze and Silver ran out of the room. Blaze was intent on getting out of the burning building, while Silver was freaking out, yelling all the way.
"Iblis," Mephiles breathed, watching the flames engulf the many, many dusty books.
"Come on, Mephiles! We're leaving!" Blaze exclaimed, pulling him out of the room by an arm.
When the three finally made it outside, the whole side of the school was on fire. Students poured out of all entrances, the alarms inside alerting them of the fire.
When Blaze looked around, she saw Jet talking with Honest. "Oh my goodness! Why is the school on fire?" Honest just listened to him, looking as red as a tomato (Hetalia reference!).
"What do you mean 'why is the school on fire?'! You caught the school on fire; we watched you!" Blaze exclaimed, running over.
Honest looked over at Blaze. "No, wait! Blaze was the one who started the fire! She has fire powers after all!" she accused, pointing towards her. At this distance, she was nearly poking Blaze in the nose.
"What?"
Silver and Mephiles walked over. "You did cause the fire, Blaze."
"B-but Jet stole a book," Blaze mumbled.
"Jet?" Honest asked, looking at Jet.
"Uh, y-you don't have any proof of that," Jet stuttered.
Just then Storm and Wave came flying over, carrying the very book stolen. "Where do you want us to put this?" Storm asked. Jet went white.
Color came back to his face at a sudden realization. "Stealing one book is tiny compared to what you did. You burned down a whole library of books."
Honest, Mephiles, and Silver turned towards her. "Uh..."
Just then the smell of smoke hit them. They turned to see a whole wall of the school fall over. A fire crew arrived and began spraying the school with their fire hose. It took four hours to put out the fire, and the whole side of the school that Blaze had burned down had to be rebuilt from scratch.
This was a... tragic chapter. I had no clue how dark this would get. *gulp* Well, uh, see you next chapter! Hopefully Honest will be the main character again so that Silver doesn't cause any more tragedies.
(I love how I left Silver in charge for ONE CHAPTER and this happens.)
