Sonic the Hedgehog - The True Power of Music
Chapter Four - Determination and Endurance
I've been stuck in this place for several hours now. It's all so quiet, dead silent, nobody around to talk to. So boring…
Doctor Eggman didn't come once since I was imprisoned here, and I had a feeling that he had completely forgotten me.
I was still melancholic that I was going to stay here for I don't know how long, but I still had to hope that something was going to happen.
Hopefully, a miracle.
I was still sitting on my bed, hands on my lap, staring at the ground. The guitar was right next to me on my bed, waiting for me to play with it again. But I didn't feel like it. I love music, but making music all alone is boring and sad.
Sitting there and doing nothing since hours…
Knowing that there was no way to get out of here…
That's enough! Now I've had it!
I mentally slapped myself to get a grip of my depressing self.
I couldn't just sit here and do nothing, I knew somehow that I'll get out of here. I just had to wait a bit more.
I took the guitar again in my hand and started to think of a song that I wanted to sing.
Something motivating, something really hard, something showing me that I'll never give up! I'm gonna show that Eggman what I'm made of.
"What I'm made of"…?
"Yes, that song!" I said blissfully, "What I'm made of from Crush 40!"
Yeah, that song was just excellent, the perfect song to motivate yourself for battle. I really liked that group, their music just totally rocked! Jun Senoue was my idol as guitarist and Johnny Gioeli, my idol as singer in that group. I wanted to become like them, incredibly talented and good.
"Shame that I don't have my electric guitar here." I muttered, "Oh well, better this than nothing."
I started plucking the strings, imagining the drums and bass that would jump in that song and accompany me. I played with all my feelings in this song and jumped in the right moment with my voice, singing it out loud and aggressively:
"I don't care what you're thinking
as you turn to me,
'cause what I have in my two hands
is enough to set me free.
I could fight the feeling
To resist it over time,
But when it's just too much to take
You sneak up from behind."
Oh yeah, Eggman, that's what you did to me! And I'm not gonna give up because of that!
"Is it me, you said, you're looking for?
Let me show you who I am and what I'm here for
Here for…
Heeeey!"
Reach out into the chorus, Christine! It's your part now!
"Trying to reach inside of me!
Trying to drain my energy!
Let me show you just what I'm made of!
Simple curiosity!
Trying to take a part of me!
Let me show you just what I'm made of nooooow!"
I won't give into you! Not even if you were the last thing on the face of this planet!
"Like a million faces,
I've recognized them all.
And one by one they've all become
a number as they fall.
In the face of reason,
Oh I can't take no more.
One by one they've all become
A black mark on the floor."
Is it me, you said, you're looking for?
Let me show you who I am and what I have in store
In store…
Hey! Hey! Yeaaah!
Trying to reach inside of me!
Trying to drain my energy!
Let me show you just what I'm made of!
Simple curiosity!
Trying to take a part of me!
Let me show you just what I'm made of nooooow!"
Do you really think I'll do what you say? Not in my life I will!
Slipping my fingers to create another accord, I waited for the right moment to get into that song again.
"You can take another life long try,
You can take another tryyy!
Hit it!"
Taste this, Eggman!
I plucked strongly at my strings, combining it with my feelings of grudge against Eggman, giving it my all, letting the flames of anger out.
I'll show you what I'm made of, Eggman!
"Yeaaah!"
"Trying to reach inside of me!
Trying to drain my energy!
Let me show you just what I'm made of!
Simple curiosity!
Trying to take a part of me!
Let me show you just what I'm made of nooooow!
Yeah!
Trying to reach inside of me!
Trying to drain my energy!
Let me show you just what I'm made of!"
I was panting, completely out of breath, tears of sweat rolling down my face.
Phew, that felt so good! So good!
I wiped my tears away with my sleeve and put that guitar back down on the bed. Then I stood up and stretched my arms out. Man, I was tired. I was also wondering what time it was, since I didn't have any watch on me.
I took that guitar again and put it under my bed, then laid down on that mattress, hands under my head, thinking.
Thinking about that day in the store.
What if it was really him? I mean the Chaos Emerald and Doctor Eggman are real, so why shouldn't he be real?
That blue hedgehog.
Sonic.
My thoughts went real deep into that. I just couldn't stop thinking about that. And these voices…
"Need a hand?"
"Comin' through!"
"Sorry 'bout that!"
They really sounded like him. That cool, dynamic voice of his. Guess I'll find out sooner or later.
I gave out a loud yawn. That was my queue to fall asleep, but I just couldn't stop thinking about these moments. It really took me a long time to finally fall asleep. And before I knew it, I was gone, far, far away…
So, that was Chapter Four! I know it probably sucked, but the next one will be a promising one!!!
Sonic: Yepp, she's right!! Next time-
Christine: Don't spoil it, Sonic!! If you tell them-
(Cool Jay lunges at them and scotch-tapes both their mouths)
Cool Jay: Just wait and see!! See ya!! Aw yeah, almost forgot: This song here, "What I'm made of", was from Crush 40 and if I remember well, it was from the Game "Sonic Heroes".
Okay, bye bye!!! (Leaves, pulling Christine and Sonic away)
