Shadow woke up to the sound of cheering and he groaned. "What the hell?" he said to himself as he stared at the clock beside his bed. "Oh," he yawned and sat up. He stretched and then got out of bed. He fixed himself up a bit before going back downstairs. At the bottom of the stairs, Tails greeted him. "Hey Shadow, have a nice nap?" Shadow nods and they walk to the main room together. Sonic came running up to them with a big smile on his face. "Hey Tails, hey Shadow." then he was off again. Shadow surged and walked inside the massive room.
Tails and Shadow went their separate ways and Console came walking up to him. "Hey Shadow, uh everyone wants you to sing." Shadow stared wide eyed at him and then realized that everyone was staring at him. "Fine, if it'd make you happy, then I will do it." Console grinned and went up to the stage. "Alright everybody! Shadow is going to sing Awake and Alive for all of you!" Everyone cheered.
"Come on up Shadow!" Console winked at him and Shadow rolled his eyes as he walked up on stage. He took a deep breath and then Sonia came up on to the stage as well.
I am at war with the world and they..
try to pull us into the dark
I struggle to find my faith
as I am slipping through your arms
It is getting harder to stay awake
and our strength is fading fast
they breathe into us at last
Everyone was cheering as Sonia and Shadow sang.
I am awake, I am alive
Now we know what we believe inside
Now, it is our time
I will do what you want
Because this is our life
Right here, right now
I will stand my ground
And never back down
Now we know what we believe inside
I am awake and I am alive
Sonic nodded his approval of the two singing. Shadow's confidence sky rocketed as he heard the crowd. He mentally grinned to himself.
I am at war with the world cause I
ain't never going to sell your soul
I have already made up my mind
No matter what you cannot be bought or sold
When your faith is getting weak
and you feel like giving in
I breathe into you at least
I am awake, I am alive
Now we know what we believe inside
Now, it is our time
I will do what you want
Because this is our life
Right here, right now
I will stand my ground
And never back down
Now we know what we believe inside
I am awake and I am alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
In the dark
You can feel me in your sleep
in my arms I feel you breathe in to me
forever hold this heart
that yo will give to me
forever I will live for you
Shadow's eyes swept across the crowd and noticed that there were people here he didn't know, but he didn't mind. Sonic and Amy were cheering him on along with Tails and Cosmo.
I am awake, I am alive
Now we know what we believe inside
Now, it is our time
I will do what you want
Because this is our life
Right here, right now
I will stand my ground
And never back down
Now we know what we believe inside
I am awake and I am alive
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
Waking up, waking up
With that, the song ended and the crowd went wild. Shadow blushed but it seemed that Sonia was used to it. Shadow came off the stage and was crowded by Sonic, Manic, Tails, Knuckles and Rouge. "Wow, I never knew you could sing like that Shadow!" Manic praised. "That was great Shadow," Tails said as he smiled.
