Shadow of the Opera Bloopers Chapter 4

Done by ZairaDrayan/ckaira77!

Everybody had (once again) returned to do scene four of the Shadow of the Opera. However, as Zaira went through the script, she noticed something. It was completely unacceptable. Scene four was just Amy and Shadow singing the main theme of the movie. So, Zaira decided to put scenes four and five together to give us a fairly long chapter (at the moment scenes are really short). Well, that was the plan.

"Hiya! I'm back! I'm only here to see the creepy romance action!" Sonic said. Only Knuckles, Rouge, Amy, and Shadow showed up with Sonic (I couldn't work only with Shadow and Amy. We have to have other characters).

"Oh…, Hi Sonic…," Zaira said to the hyper hedgehog. She didn't want him to be there. Usually either Sonic, Knuckles, or Rouge cause her problems. Well, the troublemakers were all there. Amy and Shadow hardly ever cause problems for her unless if Shadow is uncomfortable about something. However, today is going to be very uncomfortable for them all.

"Wow! Shadow's already in costume!" Amy exclaimed.

"Well, he probably likes the feel of it. Not so bad is it?" Zaira told Shadow. He nodded.

"We need to stop talking and start filming. The two scenes we are doing today will be all Amy and all Shadow. The rest of you will either have to be quiet and watch, or be quiet and get Sonic Boom redesigns. Your pick!" Zaira said.

Everyone gulped and looked at each other. They reluctantly nodded.

Take 1

Amy and Shadow were completely through the mirror and were walking down a long hallway that Amy guessed led to the bottom floor of the theatre. The candlesticks in the hallway lit up as they walked past. Amy felt a strange force tell her to sing.

In sleep he sang to me.

In dreams he came.

That voice which calls to me,

and speaks my name.

And do I dream again?

For now I find,

the SHAAAADOW of the Opera is there.

"Hang on a sec! Amy, did you by any chance practice this part? Is it a little high?" asked Zaira.

"Yeah. Get me a new voice actress!" Amy demanded.

"Heh. If my diva commands…," Zaira replied. She then goes to search the Internet.

Take 2

The Shadow of the Opera is there,

inside my mind…

Shadow knew that this was his cue to sing, but he was already too nervous about later that he couldn't sing. SHADOW DOESN'T SING!

"Uh… Help…," Shadow said.

"Ugh! What's wrong?" asked Zaira trying not to snap.

"I-I c-can't!" he stuttered.

"Oh, not this again! Shadow, just do it and get it over with. Don't worry. I think Sonic will have it worse," Zaira explained.

"I feel sooooooo much better…," Shadow replied sarcastically.

Take 3

Sing once again with me…

Our strange duet.

My power over you,

grows stronger yet.

And though you turn from me,

to glance behind,

the Shadow of the Opera is there,

inside your mind…

"Believe me, this is REALLY disturbing. Help," Sonic whimpered. Knuckles rolled his eyes at Sonic. He never wanted Amy near him. WHY NOW?!

Amy: Those who have seen your face,

draw back in fear.

"There's more truth to that statement than you know!" Knuckles said pointing at Sonic. Rouge smirked. Sonic growled at Knuckles.

"Don't you remember? Shadow had you pinned up against a wall!" Rouge reminded. Sonic growled louder.

"Yeah… Only a true weakling would do that…," Knuckles told Sonic with a nudge.

"SHUT UP! IFIHEARANOTHERWORDTHENYOUTWOWILLDIE!" Sonic yelled.

"What…?" asked Rouge looking at Knuckles. Knuckles shrugged.

Take 4

Amy: I am the mask you wear.

Shadow: That's just freaky!

"I'll have to agree with Shadow on this! This is freaky!" Sonic cried.

"Sonic Boom redesigns," Zaira reminded. Everyone closed their mouths.

Take 5

Shadow: It's me they hear.

Both: Your/My spirit and your/my voice

in one combined:

The Shadow of the Opera is there,

inside your/my mind…

Sonic, Knuckles, Zaira, and Rouge: He's there,

The Shadow of the Opera!

Beware,

The Shadow of the Opera!

"You know, maybe this song is more right than wrong. Beware the Shadow of the Opera," Sonic commented.

"We get it! You don't want to be here, but you aren't going to change anything by repeating it over and over again!" yelled Zaira.

Take 6

Shadow helped Amy onto a boat and he began to row them through the underground river. Amy was surprised that nobody knew about any of this.

Shadow: In all your fantasies,

you always knew

that man and mystery.

Amy: Were both in you.

Both: And in this labyrinth,

where night is blind,

the Shadow of the Opera is there/here,

inside your/my mind.

Sing my Angel of Music!

Amy: He's there,

The Shadow of the Opera…

Amy then began to vocalise strangely, her song becoming more and more extravagant. Sonic didn't even know she could get so high. Shadow was half pleading and half begging her to continue singing for him. Louder and higher. She wrapped up her wordless song with one long, high-pitched note. They had reached Shadow's lair and Silver caused for golden candles to rise up out of the water and light without a problem. The boat landed in the lair and Shadow walked off of it. Amy stayed where she was.

"Okay! That's a wrap! Scene 4 is finished! Feel free to take a break!" Zaira said. She dashed out of the room. Nobody really knew where she went off to, but they didn't care. Shadow began to memorize his lines.

"Hey, Shadow! Remember the little act of kindness you have to do…?" Sonic asked with a smirk.

"According to my fans, I've done it a million times. You, on the other hand, you have done it six billion times," Shadow reminded. Sonic cringed. Not the reply he was expecting. He walked off.

"So, what do we do now?" asked Knuckles.

"We annoy Shadow to death!" Sonic screamed. Shadow's ear twitched, but he didn't look up.

Sonic walked over. He looked at the lines. This time, Shadow was reading on into scene six. He made and odd face as he read it.

"I'm going to have to change some words around to keep this child-friendly…," Shadow said to himself.

"Hey, Shadow!" Sonic chirped.

"What?"

"Hey, Shadow!"

"What?"

"Shadow…"

"What?!"

"SHADOW!" Sonic screamed.

Suddenly Silver came up to Shadow. Shadow thought that the presence of Silver would make him explode. Sonic, on the other hand, didn't bother him at all.

"Hey Shadow, I wanted to ask you if you might need me for something. Well, do you?" asked Silver to the dark hedgehog.

"UGH! SILVER, I DON'T NEED ANY HELP!" screamed Shadow. Sonic backed down.

"Okay, just checking," Silver said. He didn't even seem at all surprised. Silver turned around and left out the door.

"Shadow…?" asked Sonic.

"What?"

"Why do you find Silver more annoying than me?" asked Sonic.

"Silver isn't scared of me. You get scared of me. You're annoying if you aren't scared of me," Shadow replied barely looking up from his script. Sonic let out an exasperated yell.

"Zaira?" asked Sonic.

"She's annoying," Shadow replied.

"But you listen to her! What's up with that?" demanded Sonic.

"Friends can be annoying too," Shadow replied.

Sonic stormed off. What was the point if Shadow could put up with him? It wasn't at all fair for Sonic. He spent the rest of his time kicking a stone around the room.

Zaira finally reappeared. She had the music box and an organ. She handed a bunch of sheet music to Shadow. He looked it over.

"What's this? Why are you carrying an organ?" asked Shadow.

"It's for the next scene! Y-You must learn to play this thing!" Zaira replied trying not to drop the large instrument. Just because she did have some amazing powers, but it was still hard to carry an organ. Shadow helped her out with carrying it.

"Knuckles, get over here and lend us a hand! This organ is heavy!" yelled Shadow. Knuckles appeared from the other room and stared in amazement at the giant instrument.

"What are you doing carrying around something so huge!" demanded Knuckles running over to help them.

"The Phantom plays the organ! Shadow must play the organ! Scene six if you didn't read ahead!" Zaira shouted.

"Sonic, help!" yelled Knuckles.

"Nah… You got it all under control. Rouge can help!" Sonic said. Rouge rolled her eyes and flew over. She grabbed it and flapped her wings to go forward and upward.

"How much farther do we need to go?!" cried Knuckles.

"A few… more… feet…," Zaira whimpered.

"WAIT! There's a door! This organ is too big! What do we do?!" asked Shadow.

"Sonic, for crying out loud! Do what you do in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog and bend the door into the right size! Don't, and I'll give you something really unpleasant!" Zaira snapped.

"Like I said, you got it all under control…," Sonic said. He hopped onto the organ and took a nap with the emerald music box playing a little tune for him. Shadow growled but didn't dare let go of their heavy cargo because he feared what would happen if he let go.

"Who else was in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog who could perform random miracles and defy the super mean Laws of Physics?!" demanded Zaira.

"I think Tails was!" Rouge shouted.

"Okay, I'm going to send Rouge off to find Tails! Just be back within two minutes!" cried Zaira.

Rouge let go and flew as fast as she could to Tails' apartment. She broke down the door. Tails stared in amazement at Rouge.

"Will you be my hero?" asked Tails shoving a piece of paper at her for her to sign. The smoke that came from the door did make her look kind of heroic. Kind of like when you are about to stop a villain. Rouge signed the paper.

Rouge picked up Tails from his tails and flew back out the door. She quickly explained everything to Tails and he agreed that he would bend the very fabric of the universe to pull off something like this one last time. They had made it back. The three of them were barely keeping the organ off the ground.

"Tails, the door is right there! WIDEN IT!" screamed Zaira. Rouge went back to helping them.

Tails walked up to the door and called upon the forces of the universe. Using every bit of his strength, he turned the door into a huge hole in the wall just big enough for the organ. The five of them carefully put it on the set. They all collapsed in a heap on the floor.

"Sonic was right there. Why didn't he do it?" asked Tails.

"He was a hog," Knuckles told Tails.

"Does that mean he should no longer be a part of Team Heroes?" asked Tails.

"No. I have a better idea!" Zaira hopped up from the floor and heated up a chili dog. She put it on a platform. She pressed a few buttons on the screen outside of it and smirked. Sonic woke up immediately. CHILI DOGS! No choking incident could ever stop him!

"Sonic, I cooked you a chili dog! You should find it on a white platform thing. I wanted to tell you how much I appreciate your help with this production," Zaira told Sonic when she returned.

Sonic hopped off of the organ and looked around searching high and low. He found the platform and the chili dog sitting on it. Sonic's mouth watered. He walked up to it and picked it up. Zaira snuck into the room behind Sonic. She pressed a large red button. It said the word 'Redesign' on it. Doors closed in front of Sonic leaving him trapped inside. Lights came flooding out of the tiny room Sonic was in and he screamed when they turned off.

"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!" Sonic squealed like a little girl.

"Should be done," Zaira said. She pressed the button that said 'Open'. The metal doors parted. The light revealed a blue spiky hedgehog. Not the same spiky hedgehog Sonic used to be. He had a scarf around his neck and wore bandages around his legs and hands. He seemed taller and his hair looked sort of messed up. Sonic's Sonic Boom redesign…

"Why did you do this to me?!" Sonic fell to his knees. His speed felt like it was completely drained out of him.

"Your punishment," Zaira answered with a wave of her pointer finger at Sonic. He began to cry and let his body go limp. He flopped to the ground.

"I'll change you back before we leave. There's no way I'm putting you on camera with something like this." Zaira pointed to the bandages on Sonic's hands.

"I don't wanna live anymore…," Sonic mumbled from the floor.

"You leave us to be crushed by an organ, you get turned into that. Fair deal!" Zaira walked back out of the room. Sonic didn't move from that spot for the rest of the day.

"Are we ready to start scene five?" asked Zaira. Knuckles and Rouge snickered. Shadow took an uncomfortable step into the shadows. Amy glanced around nervously.

"I take it that this is going to be really awkward… I'm really sorry, but we've already started, so the show must go on…," Zaira said.

"Sorry Shadow…," Amy told him. Shadow shrugged. At least, Sonic wasn't there, but having Knuckles be there was bad enough. Rouge wasn't as bad, but still the occasional trouble-maker.

"Actors do stuff like this all the time. Now, action!"

Take 1

Shadow takes a few steps into his chamber. It was kind of oddly decorated and there was a giant pipe organ sitting in the middle of the place. Amy remained sitting as she stared up at Shadow with wonder-filled eyes.

I have brought you

to the seat of sweet music's throne.

to this kingdom where all must pay homage to music.

music…

You have come here,

for one purpose, and one alone.

Since the moment I first heard you sing,

I have needed you with me,

to serve me, to sing, for my music.

my music…

Shadow stopped and changed the mood. He sounded more angelic now.

Night-time sharpens,

heightens each sensation.

Darkness stirs and wakes imagination.

Silently the senses

abandon their defences.

Slowly,

gently,

night unfurls its splendor.

"What does unfurl even mean?" asked Amy.

Knuckles got out the advanced dictionary from chapter 1 again. He read through the definition and then read it out loud.

"It means to make or become spread out from a rolled or folded state, especially in order to be open to the wind," Knuckles read. Amy nodded.

"That makes sense."

Take 2

Grasp it,

sense it

tremulous and tender.

Turn your face away

from the garish light of day,

turn your thoughts away from cold, unfeeling light

and listen to the music of the night.

Close your eyes and surrender to your darkest dreams!

Purge your thoughts of the life you knew before!

Close your eyes, let your spirit start to soar!

"WOW! Shadow's secretly a tenor! I thought he was a base!" Rouge said in surprise.

"There are things that you don't know about me."

"I had already got the Internet up to get you a new voice actor because all the girls needed new voice actresses. I guess I can just close my laptop now," Zaira said closing the computer.

Take 3

And you'll live as you've never lived before…

Amy was now standing within the lair keeping her eyes on Shadow the entire time. Shadow was really good. If this were real, she probably would like Shadow more than Sonic, but no. This was fake.

"FAKER!" Knuckles yelled at Shadow.

Shadow shook his head at Knuckles.

"Sonic is the faker!" Shadow objected.

"No, you are! Sonic came around years before you did!" Knuckles shot back at the dark hedgehog.

"Well, I was made fifty years before he was!"

"AND WHO CARES! SEGA thought you up after Sonic! You should thank them for even existing! FAKER!" Knuckles yelled again.

"WELL, AT LEAST, I DON'T HAVE A STUPID SONIC BOOM REDESIGN!" Shadow yelled.

"QUIET ON THE SET!" Zaira screamed. Everybody finally quieted down, but Knuckles and Shadow were still glaring at each other.

"Now, we are going to get through this! Then, you'll all come back tomorrow to help out with scene six! Work with me people!" Zaira shouted at them.

Take 4

Softly,

deftly,

music shall surround you.

Feel it,

hear it,

closing in around you.

Open up your mind,

let your fantasies unwind,

in this darkness which you know you cannot fight

the darkness of the music of the night…

Let your mind start a journey through a strange new world!

Leave all thoughts of the world you knew before!

Let your soul Take you where you long to be!

Only then can you belong to me…

Floating,

falling,

sweet intoxication!

Touch me,

trust me,

savour each sensation!

"WHAA-? Shadow, what's wrong with you? Are you feeling alright? Maybe you have a fever?" asked Knuckles. He ran up to Shadow and put his palm to Shadow forehead. Shadow kicked Knuckles away.

"I. Am. Fine! Give me a reason not to throw a temper tantrum!" Shadow whimpered.

"The song is almost over! I didn't write the lines! Someone else who wanted Christine and the Phantom to have a creepy love plot did," Zaira said putting her hands up to try and prove her innocence.

"Continuing. I do get to throw that temper tantrum in the future right?" asked Shadow.

"Unless if I get another character to do your part, then yeah," Zaira replied looking through scene six.

"This is ruining my reputation," Shadow mumbled.

"A fake reputation is all a hedgehog has!" Amy chirped.

Take 5

Let the dream begin,

let your darker side give in,

to the power of the music that I write,

the power of the music of the night…

Shadow leads Amy to a large mirror from which he removes a large sheet and under the sheet was the exact image of Amy, a perfect wax-face impression, wearing a wedding gown. Knuckles smirked and nudged Rouge.

"If only if Sonic were here!" Knuckles said giggling at the thought.

"Want me to get him?" asked Rouge.

When Knuckles nodded, she flew off into the other room and dragged the poor Sonic Boom Sonic out of the room. She brought him up to Knuckles.

"Well, he hasn't woken up yet. Think you can do something about that?" asked Rouge.

Knuckles picked Sonic up and threw him against a wall. Sonic's eyes opened weakly. He glared at Knuckles.

"What do you want?" Sonic asked with his Roger C. Smith voice. Knuckles pointed to the stage for his reply. Sonic looked up at it and hi face melted into pure terror.

"AMY IS GETTING MARRIED?!" Sonic cried hopping to his feet at long last.

"NO! Knuckles, why did you bring Sonic here?! I wanted him lying on the floor like a couch potato until the end of the day!" Zaira yelled at the red echidna.

"A couch potato?!" Sonic demanded.

"I just wanted to see his face…," Knuckles told her. Zaira rolled her eyes.

"Sonic, don't interrupt me! Just stand there."

"BUT AMY'S GETTING MARRIED TO A FAKER! I HAVE TO STOP HER!"

"Oh boy…"

Take 6

Amy stared at her wax self for a moment and then passed out. Shadow was supposed to catch her, but he forgot. Amy fit the ground hard.

"OW!"

"See?! I told you! He doesn't care a thing about her!" Sonic yelled.

"Uh…, Sorry? Again I guess?"

"I hate you…," Amy said from the floor.

Take 7

Amy stared at her wax self for a moment and then passed out. This time, he should've caught Amy, but his foot got stuck. A large wad of gum was on the stage. Sonic was chewing gum on the other end of the room. Because Sonic put the gum on the stage, Shadow tripped and Amy fell on top of him.

"Wow… You make for a really soft landing pad!" Amy exclaimed.

"Ow…," Shadow growled. He glared at Sonic. The blue hedgehog inched out of the room and went home. Once Sonic got home, he screamed because he forgot to change himself back to his normal self.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

Shadow stood up from the floor, glad to be out of the really awkward situation with Amy sitting on him and his almost twisted foot.

"Well, that could've gone better…," Rouge said to herself.

Take 8

Finally, Shadow succeeded in catching Amy on the third time. He carried her over to a bed and puts her onto it (Shadow was really trying to stay on script, so don't get mad about me not having him do something ridiculous simply because it was awkward).

You alone can make my song take flight,

help me make the music of the night…

"CUT! That was crazier than intended, but not bad. We got two scenes done in a day. All of you will be needed for tomorrow, so be sure to be there! That should be about all. By the way, where's Sonic?" asked Zaira looking around.

"Oh, he's having the time of his life right now…," Shadow said trying not to laugh.

Sure enough, Sonic was huddled in the corner of his apartment trying not to think about his horrible look. That night was going to be pure torture for the poor hedgehog…

ZairaDrayan: Just a note to the readers. Hope you enjoyed chapter four. Also, I don't ship Shadamy and I DON'T hate Sonic Boom. I just thought that I needed to find something that would totally drive the fastest hedgehog alive insane with his super slow redesign. Hope you read chapter five when it comes out!
