Soul Eater but it's Sonic

Chapter 29

"Son of a bitch!" Blaze growled.

She swept her arms across Starline's desk, knocking the monitor and all nearby items off. The doctor reached forward, letting out an involuntary yelp of some kind. Each of the items hovered in the air instead of crashing onto the ground. Then, they floated back and arranged themselves on the surface of the desk.

"Thank you Silver," Starline sighed, rubbing his brow.

"I knew Lord Death was hiding something! I asked him if there was a kishin threat and he lied to my face!" The princess paced around as she ranted.

"Why is there a kishin under the DWMA?" Tails asked.

"Yes, why hasn't it been destroyed?" Blaze snapped.

"I can't give you all the details, but the reason is that we can't fully destroy the kishin. Keeping it dormant is the best course of action. Lord Death built a machine to keep it contained, while powering said machine with his own soul. Now that he's trapped in null space, he won't be able to fight the enemy or keep the machine running properly,"

"That's ridiculous! Lord Death should have countless ways of destroying an enemy. Especially one that's dormant!"

"It's not that simple,"

"Why not?"

"Enough," Starline's voice was raised, but his composure was still intact. "As much as I would love to give you all the answers, I have limited information as well. The reality is that we're under attack right now. If we don't do anything about it the kishin will be revived,"

"Then let's stop them," Sonic proposed.

"Yes, let's," Starline said.

Professor Gamma appeared in the room suddenly holding a large container. The robot placed it on the ground. It revealed various familiar clothing items upon opening.

"Uniforms for Death Scythe and Meister acquired. I have brought pairs of the designated students' usual outfits. Do not ask why I have these,"

Starline removed his tie and tossed his suit jacket onto the desk chair. "Everyone, prepare for combat. I'm not certain of what our enemies have in store for us, but I've no doubt it will be the most important battle of you lives thus far, if not the most difficult,"

Starline waited outside his office for a few moments. Each of the meisters and weapons emerged shortly after with their clothes changed except for Silver, who had been given an exact copy of the suit he was already wearing. The three pairs of fighters followed their professor through the halls of the DWMA.

"Miles, there's something else you and Knuckles should know," Starline began.

"What's that?

"Our enemies have revived a once extinct type of weapon called the black arm series. They are incredibly powerful. Shadow is the only other weapon of this series that we know of and the enemy might target him,"

"Previously extinct weapons that are really powerful?" Tails pondered for a moment. "What about Shadow's amnesia? We don't have his memories, but if we knew the cause of their disappearance, it could give us more information,"

"Shadow doesn't have amnesia," Knuckles looked around, seeing everyone staring back at him with impatience. "Wait, seriously?"

"Yes," Tails sighed.

"Why didn't anyone tell me?"

"Didn't want you to lose any sleep over it," Shadow replied sardonically.

"Wow, thanks," Knuckles sighed.

"The only thing you need to understand is that our enemies have access to many powerful and seemingly unnatural abilities. They will use these abilities to kill each of you if given the chance. Don't give them that chance,"
