The Prank pt 2
XxXxXxXx
"Pssst. Hey, kid. Want a fly swatter?" Sonic whispered.
A very confused looking freshman nodded slowly and accepted the bright green plastic item. He then hurried into the school, glancing back at Sonic every now and then with a bewildered look on his face.
"We're doing good!" Sonic reported into the walkie talkie radio.
"Great. So I think we've armed half the school so far." Shadow responded. "And the staff have no idea."
Sonic giggled. "This is going to be the best prank ever!"
He continued to hand out fly swatters to all the confused underclassmen. The seniors, on the other hand, just grinned and accepted the plastic whacking stick whilest saying something along the lines of, "Oh, yes...!"
"Uhhh...Sonic? You might want to see this." Silver said over the walkie talkie. "It's kind of important."
"What is it?"
"Just come to the side entrance. Right now."
Sonic ditched the box of flyswatters and darted over to the side entrance, spotting Silver easily enough as he waved him over behind a bush. The two of them stared out of said bush and toward the doors.
"It's Robotnik." Sonic said. "And...is he...?"
"Also handing out flyswatters? Yes." Silver sighed.
"Oh no..." Sonic gasped. "How did he know?"
"I don't think he actually knows we had this idea first." Silver said. "Otherwise I think he would have stopped us first and handed out the rest of our flyswatters to the staff."
"I see." Sonic rubbed his chin. "Hmmm..."
"We may have to initiate the prank early."
"That will throw off our plan."
"It's the only way."
"Fine, then." Sonic nodded. "We will start it at first lunch, instead of second. Ready our troops."
"Why are you speaking as if we will all make a great sacrifice?" Silver facepalmed. "This isn't actual war. It's a senior prank, for crying out loud. Besides, Shadow's in charge of this."
Sonic glared at him. "You haven't experianced the thrill of war!"
"Neither have you." Silver shrugged. "Anyway, go warn Shadow about this. I'll tell Tails and we'll make a plan afterward."
Sonic darted away, leaving Silver to silently watch the evil principal of the school. Robotnik, Silver realized, wasn't just handing out flyswatters to the staff...he was also giving them to the students.
"What could this mean?" Silver asked himself.

"He was giving them to the kids, too?" Shadow asked.
"Yeah." Silver said. "Do you think he's planning a counterassault?"
"I don't know...but what I do know is that someone tipped him off to the prank." Shadow growled. "He had to at least know about this since yesterday, so he could buy flyswatters. So who told him?"
Tails, Sonic and Silver gulped. "Not us." They all said at once.
"Find out who did, and bring them to me!"
"Shadow, first hour starts in five minutes." Tails said. "And I have to go to my college class. We don't have time."
"Fine. We will still start part two of the prank at the designated time. For now, act natural." Shadow turned to head to his first hour class.
"I'm so excited!" Sonic grinned madly. "This is gonna be awesome!"
"I sure hope so..." Silver muttered.

FIRST LUNCH
XxXxXxXx
Sonic, Shadow, Silver and Tails were sitting at their usual lunch table, looking out over the waves of high schoolers. Some of them had flyswatter handles sticking out from pockets. They were ready.
"We just have to give the signal." Sonic said.
"Wait." Shadow growled. "Let Robotnik make the first move. We'll counterattack and take them by surprise."
"But what if they overpower us?" Silver asked. "If we attack first, we have the element of surprise. If we attack after he attacks, they'll already be attacking and it won't take much effort to locate us and take us down."
"We armed at least two-thirds of the school." Shadow said. "I think either way, we're going to win this."
"Great!" Sonic grinned. "So...do we attack first, or second?"
Before Shadow could respond, there was a mighty scream from across the cafeteria. At least half the freshmen class came pouring in, bearing bright red and yellow flyswatters and continuing to shout bloody murder. They began to assult the kids that were unfortunate to be next to the doors.
"I guess we don't have a choice." Shadow growled, pulling his own flyswatter, a blue and black one, from behind his back. "ATTACK!"
The entire lunchroom stopped what they were doing and pulled out their plastic weapons. Some were multicoloured, and others were solid reds and/or yellows. Everyone began swatting at each other with the feriocity of an intense battle.
"It's like Lord of the Rings, only with flyswatters!" Sonic gleefully ran past Shadow, whacking some short sophomores out of the way.
Silver valiantly fought his way through the crowd so he was next to Shadow. "What now?"
"We fight to Robotnik!" Shadow declared. "Once we attack him, he'll call off his army! We have to reach him before we are overrun!"
"Great plan!" Silver nodded. "Sonic and I will take care of that!"
"I'll get you as far as I can." Shadow promised. He caught Sonic's attention and waved him over.
"Wassup?"
"You and me are going to stop Robotnik's army!" Silver cried.
"Oh boy!" Sonic giggled evilly. "ONWARD!"
The three of them took off though the warring ranks of high schoolers, Shadow in the lead. Sonic and Silver followed close behind, trying to keep a low profile amidst the fight. They made it through the cafeteria doors and continued into the hallway.
"Alright, we're still alive!" Sonic cheered.
"Don't celebrate yet..." Silver warned. "We still have a long way to go."
The three of them continued down the hallway, surprisingly not running into any of the students or the staff. The school, for the most part, looked empty.
"Wierd. I wonder where everyone else is?" Sonic asked.
"In class, where they should be." Shadow muttered. "We are in second lunch. Everyone else that was in first lunch is back in class."
"I know, but usually there's someone skipping class, or on their way to the bathroom, or getting something from their locker..." Sonic cut himself off. "And look! There's no one!"
"Hmmm..." Silver thought.
"Don't let your guard down." Shadow warned. He opened the door to the staircase. "No one here. Come on, only one flight of stairs and another hallway."
They began their ascention up the stairs. Halfway up, the door behind them opened and a voice shouted, "Get them!"
Two burly seniors ran up the steps, red and yellow flyswatters in hand.
"Go on!" Shadow shouted to Sonic and Silver. He pushed them forward and ran to meet the two seniors running up at them.
"Shadow! No!" Silver shouted.
"Hurry!" Sonic grabbed his ear and pulled him up the steps. "We can't let his sacrifice be in vain!"
The sound of plastic striking plastic continued as Shadow fought, buying them time to escape the staircase.
"Ow ow! Let go of my ear!" Silver whined as Sonic threw open the door and shoved him through. The two of them darted through and began running down the hallway. Sonic eventually released Silver's ear.
"Owww..." The white hedgehog groaned, rubbing at his ear. "I can't feel it..."
"We got bigger problems..." Sonic gulped. "Look!"
Standing at the door to Robotnik's office were two other seniors, the both of them holding the biggest flyswatters the supersonic and psychoknetic hedgies had ever seen.
"Holy crap..." Sonic muttered.
"We need a distraction." Silver muttered. He gulped and put a hand on Sonic's shoulder.
"What?" Sonic asked. "This is awkward."
"If I distract them, will you be able to get in?"
"Yeah." Sonic nodded slowly.
"Good." Silver took his hand off Sonic's shoulder and gripped his flyswatter a bit tighter. "Then I will bravely sacrifice myself for the good of the prank. Then...and only then...will Blaze notice me..."
"Go get them!" Sonic grinned. He ducked into a dark classroom.
Silver ran up to the two senior guards and whistled loudly. "Hey! You morons! Come and get me!"
Just as he expected, the two of them turned their attention on him and ran. Silver gave a shout of surprise and bolted back to the staircase. With the slam of the door, the hallway became empty again.
Sonic ducked out of his hiding place and approached the office door. What would come next...he didn't know.
"I hope Shadow and Silver are still alive..." Sonic gulped and turned the handle.

Merry Christmas! ...what? You're a day late, GhostKing? Darn.
I'm sorry for the extreme lack of activity. I have been really busy and I haven't had any good ideas for a while now. The only reason this chapter got written was because I was hiding from my family on Christmas and avoiding the screaming kids.
Editing this was a complete pain in the butt for some reason as well...if you see a mistake, please tell me!
there will probably only be 1-2 chapters left of this story, so until then, stay tuned and drop a review off, please!
There won't be an extreme wait like before for these last (two?) chapters, either. I promise.
Hasta la Vista, Readers!
