Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 6

"Wow, I'm not even a student here but people are picking fights with me," The pale hedgehog sounded more intrigued than upset.

Sonic observed the new hedgehog, noticing that his quills were long, splitting into two distinct arcs at the back of his head. Five distinct strands ran up from his forehead.

The newcomer's companion had her hair tied up. Sonic saw a tiny red gemstone on her forehead. She also wore an expression of displeasure.

"It's rude to challenge someone without introducing yourself," The new girl retorted.

"Fine. I'm Knuckles. Now quit stalling,"

"I'm Sonic. Apologies in advance for Knuckles's behavior,"

"Well Blaze, what do you think?" The pale hedgehog inquired.

"I'm not really interested in entertaining two hotheads,"

"What's the point of complaining about intros when you didn't want to fight anyway!" Knuckles barked.

"I just felt like letting you know that you're making a fool of yourself," Blaze glowered.

Fuming, Knuckles marched forward until Sonic stopped him.

"If we're going to do this, can you take it down a notch?"

"I'm tired of this. Are you two fighting or not?" Knuckles complained.

"Blaze, I'll take them on by myself,"

Blaze responded with an indifferent wave. Her companion took off his suit coat and handed it to her before approaching his challengers.

"My name is Silver. I'm a Death Scythe. Ready when you are,"

"Are you okay with us fighting you two-on-one Silver? I don't want you getting seriously injured," Sonic asked.

"Come at me with all you've got. I'm not worried," Silver smiled.

"If he wants to act cocky, I'm fine with smacking him," Knuckles concluded. He transformed into a gauntlet. Sonic put it on.

Shadow, Amy, Tails, and Cream were off to the side of the academy courtyard-turned-battlefield. The newly formed Team Rose had been watching the show from the beginning.

"Knuckles better not get Sonic hurt," Amy huffed. Cream nodded in agreement, observing the fight with concern.

"They should be fine. Sonic's better at using Knuckles than me at least," Tails said, a bit disheartened.

Shadow wasn't thrilled that Sonic was using Knuckles as his weapon, but he watched with interest. He was so close to becoming a death scythe himself; the only difference between him and Silver being one witch soul. How much of an impact could a single soul have on a weapon?

Sonic made the first move, charging straight ahead and lining up a simple punch to get a feel for the fight. Silver sat in place calmly with his hands behind his back as Sonic got close. He turned his torso only slightly. Knuckles's gauntlet form seemed like it was still on course, but at the last second the blow missed. Sonic stumbled past Silver clumsily as he felt his arm shift awkwardly. He caught himself with a few more steps and saw Silver had turned toward him again. He was still waiting patiently.

"What did you do?" Knuckles asked.

"Me? I could have sworn that was you," Sonic replied. "But I think it's actually him. Let's find out what's up,"

Closing in again, Sonic threw out lighter punches and kept his stance grounded. Silver continued making slight adjustments to his posture, dodging with ease. Sonic threw out his strikes in a pattern, hoping to lull Silver into a dodging rhythm and lower his guard. Then, he quickly changed direction in anticipation of Silver's movements. Sonic felt his heart leap after seeing his calculation was correct; his fist was hurtling straight at his opponent.
