Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 5

It was morning in Death City. A massive structure loomed over the other buildings that made up this sprawling town. It was the Death Weapon Meister Academy. The academy was composed of several steep spires that stretched up into the sky. The base underneath the facility had multiple leveled tiers and a wide staircase that led all the way to the entrance. Three structures resembling the bald head of a mustachioed man lined the front of the institution. Their eyes were covered by spectacles. Massive cannons protruded from the building as well.

Sonic and Shadow walked about the academy grounds, heading to class without urgency. A break period from regularly scheduled class days had just concluded, so the two were done pursuing missions for now. They moved into the main building along with many other students, walking through the spacious hallways to reach their classroom.

"Hey look, it's the goon show!" Sonic announced after seeing two familiar faces. Tails turned then lit up when he saw who was speaking. The two meisters exchanged high fives as their weapons approached.

"We bagged our first soul just a few days ago!" Tails began.

"Nice work," Sonic replied.

"We've been taking it easy but I'm still sore,"

"I'm good as new," Knuckles puffed up his chest. "The next ninety-eight souls will be cake!"

"Speaking of, guess who just hit ninety-nine?" Sonic grinned.

"Man, you guys are awesome," Tails huffed with envy.

"So you guys are hunting witches now?" Knuckles asked.

"Yeah, we actually ran into one on our last mission,"

Tails and Knuckles both looked completely incredulous.

"You didn't take their soul, did you?" Tails asked in amazement.

Sonic shook his head. "She turned out to be kinda nice...which I'm still figuring out how to deal with," Sonic's volume dropped off for the second half of his sentence. He then shrugged. "Plus she was crazy strong; toying with us the whole time,"

"Sooooooonnnniiiiiiiiiiic,"

A distant voice came, quickly getting closer. A pink hedgehog girl barreled down the hallway. She wore a cranberry dress and boots with a gray jacket. Her hands had white gloves with her wrists bearing bracelets resembling brass rings. The new hedgehog split through the group and wrapped her arms around Sonic, nearly knocking him over.

"Amy? What are you doing here?" Sonic blurted annoyedly.

"Since when do I have to justify visiting my future husband?" Amy crossed her arms after releasing Sonic. He rolled his eyes in response.

"First, I'm not your future husband. Second, class is about to start and this is the weapon meister wing, not the general studies wing,"

"Well, it's a good thing I finished my weapon meister certification over break," Amy grinned once she noticed that everyone in the group was looking at her.

"I'm not the newest meister in our group now!" Tails bragged.

"Wow Amy, I didn't think you were serious about that," Sonic remarked.

"I'm always serious when love is on the line. You said you'd marry me if I made a death scythe before you!"

"Yeah well, I was actually joking even if you weren't. Besides, all Shadow needs now is a witch's soul,"

Amy turned to Shadow and pointed a finger.

"No witches for you!" She frowned.

Shadow replied with a bored expression.
