Hello again, fellow audience! It's down to the last two contestants! And, they're both special guests! So I won't be surprised if you don't recognize them. However, some of you might already know who they might be… (Note: komodo342 owns the first character, and I own the second. The rest belong to Sega/Archie). Now, time for chapter 5!


On the Blue Moonlight stage, Sonic looked at his list to announce the next singer. "Alright, everybody. Our next contestant comes from lands of fiery volcanoes, and scorching deserts! Give a warm welcome to…FLIARA, the dragon!"

A female red dragon, with orange hair, walked onto the stage as everyone clapped. She was about the same size as Amy. "Hi, everyone! This is my first time singing, so I hope you like it!" The music started, with a slow keyboard and guitar solo. Then, she began:

"Sometime I lie awake, wondering if I'll make it out of here,
But the wind blows around my heels, so I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be someone else,
Trying to find somehow, to get away."

"If I asked him nicely, d'you think he'd show me how to fly?
'Cause the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to try."

"Sometimes I sit here, hearing voices in my head,
I try to understand, to make some sense.
I wonder if I had to, would I lie to save myself?
A plea of guilty, but self defense."

"If I asked him nicely, d'you think he'd show me how?
I'm sure he's out there listening, but he's too tied up right now,
To try…try…all of my sins,
'cause I, I can't stop now."

"Just don't leave me behind!"

"Sometimes I lie awake, wonder if I'll get out of here,
But the words stick in my throat, and I stay.
I remember lying there, wishing I could be somewhere else,
Trying to find somehow, to get away."

"If I asked him nicely, d'you think he'd show me how to fly?
'Cause the dust has weighed my wings down, and I'm too tired to fly."

The music faded, and Fliara got her applause. "Thank you!" She bowed, and stepped down.

"Not bad for a first time, huh audience?" Everyone agreed. "Now everybody, It's time for the last contestant." Everyone was excited. 'Who is it?' they all thought. Sonic kept them waiting no longer: "I present to you, from Phantom86's first posted fanfic 'The Cataclysmic Emerald', NECRONOS, the master of purity magic!"

Just then, a blinding flash of light filled the stage! And when it faded, a figure was standing in its place. He was dressed in a druid-like hooded cloak. Within the darkness of his hood, only his light blue eyes could be seen. Everyone was amazed with his flashy entrance, and clapped for him.

"Thank you everybody. Tonight, my song is dedicated to all of you in the audience who wish for peace. It's true that worldwide peace is a tuff wish to make come true. But we all know, that our time will come someday."

Sonic liked hearing that. The music started as a light melody that followed Necronos' voice:

"Every night, I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven,
But everyday, I'm more confused, as the saints turn into sinners.
All the heroes and legends, I knew as a child, have fallen to idols of clay,
And I feel this empty place inside. I'm so afraid, that I've lost my way!"

"Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Take me tonight, to the river and wash my illusions away,
Please show me the way!"

"As I slowly drift to sleep, for a moment, dreams are sacred,
I close my eyes and know there's peace, in our world so filled with hatred.
That I wake up each morning, turn on the news, and find we have so far to go,
And I keep on hoping for a sign. I'm so afraid, I just won't know!"

"Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Bring me tonight, to the mountain and take my confusion away,
And show me the way!"

"And if I see a light, should I believe?
Tell me how will I know?"

When the keyboard and synthesizer solo began, Necronos showed his powers. He filled the room with bright, multicolored lights that danced to the music! They twisted and twirled around the room like they were alive. It was spellbinding to everyone. Some of the lights even changed into a human-like form! Amy and the others loved it. The lights swirled around all of their bodies. It was amazing!

"Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Take me tonight, to the river and wash my illusions away,
Show me the way!
Show me the way!
Give me the strength, and the courage to believe that I'll get there someday!
And please show me the way!"

The music faded until it was soft and light again:

"Every night, I say a prayer, in the hopes that there's a heaven………"

The audience cheered at the top of their lungs! They absolutely loved it! Amy and the gang did the loudest. Necronos took his bow.

Sonic stepped back on stage. "Impressive. Good job, my friend." He then gazed toward the audience. "Well everyone, the contest is over! Everyone was great! But unfortunately, only one winner can be chosen. However, all our contestants must remember that they are all winners deep down. Let's give 'em all one last applause, shall we?"

Everyone did, and quite loudly, too. "Cool. And now, without further to do: The winner of the Blue Moonlight Karaoke Contest is………"


That's right! Everyone sang beautifully. But only one will be declared the winner. Who will it be? Who do YOU think it will be? Find out in the final chapter of 'Blue Moonlight', next time!
