"Chapter Two:
All Things Revealed!"

The next morning, nine out of the ten students entered the classroom. Guess who was late for class, again. If you guessed bad boy, Shadow, you're right. "Good morning, class." Miss Thought said.

"Good morning, Miss Thought." Said by everyone except for Shadow,... no surprise.

"Yesterday,... you were all told that you've been placed in this class for a certain reason. Well, today, I'm going to tell you that reason. Please, follow me." She told everyone. Confusion struck them, but they got out of their seats, and followed Miss Thought to the gym.

"Um,... Miss Thought?" Amy questioned.

"Yes, Amy?" She asked the pink head.

"You haven't told us why we were in your class." Amy said. Miss Thought turned around to face everyone.

"Tails, can you shut the doors, please?" She asked the orange head. He nodded, turned around, and shut the door to the gym.

"You are all in this class for a reason,... that's because the government knows about your special capabilities." Miss Thought said.

"What do you mean?" Tails asked in confusion. Shadow leaned against the wall. Miss Thought looked at him in an odd way.

"This is so stupid. I have more fun with my dad's boring, science lectures." He thought. Miss Thought smirked.

"I heard that, Shadow." She said. They all grew confused (yes, even Shadow).

"What do you mean? I didn't say anything." Shadow stated.

"You didn't say, you thought. You thought that this is stupid, and that your father's science lectures are more entertaining." Miss Thought said. Shadow looked at her with a shocked expression on his face.

"How did she know that?" He wondered.

"Because, Shadow, I have the power to read minds." She answered his thought. They couldn't say anything, because she began talking, again. "You each have your own capabilities, in which, the government took notice of." She added.

"And, you have powers? I don't believe it." Knuckles said.

"I don't expect you to, Knuckles. You can create two spikes upon your knuckles, which help you in many ways. Also, your rage is connected to your strength. When you get angry, you grow stronger as your rage increases. Technically,... you were born strong." She said. Knuckles was stunned.

"How did you know that?!" Knuckles asked in shock and anger.

"I've known for a while. I'm part of the Federal Bureau of Investigation's training facility, and we've found out that certain people are gifted with certain abilities. For example, you, and your fellow classmates are all special, and you vowed you wouldn't tell anyone." Miss Thought said.

"You've pretty much covered it." Sonic said. Shadow turned towards him.

"What in the world could you possibly be able to do,... Faker." He said. Sonic grinned. He ran to the one end of the gym, and to the other side, with a light blue trail showing where he was, and ran back in front of Shadow in less than three seconds. Shadow stood there, not surprised. "Your not the only one who can do that." Shadow stated. He did the same thing, but with a yellowish-gold trail behind him, and he stopped in front of Sonic.

"Not bad." Sonic said.

"What else can you do besides run that fast?" Amy asked Sonic.

"Oh, believe me, I once ran faster than the speed of sound. A Sonic Boom, if I have my science terms correct." Miss Thought nodded. Everyone stared, and gawked at the blue haired boy.

"Shouldn't your last name be "Boom," not "Speed?" Silver asked.

"That's what I thought when it first happened, but I still have no control over that." Sonic answered.

"Oh." Silver said.

Sonic reached into his pocket, and pulled out an enlarged gold ring. "That's not all. If I crush this into my hand, I begin to spin like a wheel on a motorcycle, only faster than the cycle itself. Doing this, I can do a lot of damage." He added. Shadow turned away, scowling at the thought.

"Oh, please. I can do that without the stupid ring." He said in the same dull tone. Miss Thought looked at him in the same as the first, then grew a stunned face.

"What do you know, he isn't lying." Miss Thought said.

"My parents believe I have one more power." Sonic said. Everyone turned towards him. "My parents never thought it was true until now, but the Speed family have this ancient dynasty. It says something of this large green emerald called the Master Emerald. It created seven emeralds called the Chaos Emeralds. It's said that when a certain one of my family has all seven emeralds, they create a power that can't be beaten." Sonic said. Everyone, but Knuckles, and Shadow stood in awe.

"I've heard of the Master Emerald. It's part of my family's dynasty." Knuckles said.

"Really?" Sonic asked.

"Yeah,... the Master Emerald is the creator of the Chaos Emeralds. It said that a certain one of my family, with a mark upon his chest, is chosen to guard it on a floating island called: Angel Island." Knuckles said.

"Whoa!" Sonic said.

"I know." Knuckles said.

"What does this mark look like?" Rouge asked.

"It's sort of like the crescent moon, only facing down." Knuckles answered. Shadow laughed.

"I already know about the Chaos Emeralds. My dad's a famous scientist, and said, that because of my powers,... there's a chance they could exists." Shadow said.

"And what can you do, exactly?" Rouge asked. Shadow smirked.

"My powers are said to be related to these legendary Chaos Emeralds. Besides what you've seen,... I can use this chaotic energy and wield it into all sorts of attacks,... not all figured out, but I will, soon." Shadow answered. He then glared at the white head.

"What about you? What can you do?" Knuckles asked Rouge. She smirked, and took her black jacket off.

A sudden force came from her back. Within a few minutes,... Rouge sprouted bat wings, that ripped her shirt. Rouge jumped up, and soared through the air. The hot headed, red head, looked up in awe, and so did everyone else except Shadow, and Miss T. "This,... but besides that, I can also use the wind as an enhancer to it, along with my strength." Rouge said.

"That's amazing!" Tails said. Sonic turned towards him.

"What can you do, Tails?" Sonic asked.

"Well,... like Miss Thought, I can read minds, but besides that I have telepathy, I can create illusions, I can actually see what people are thinking about,... and I have telekinesis." Tails replied.

"What's telekinesis?" Rouge asked. Tails didn't replied, instead he decided to show them his power.

He looked around to see that Shadow was not believing him. His eyes glowed a dark orange. Shadow's outer rim of his body glowed the same color. In just a few seconds,... Shadow was floating in the air. Everyone but Tails, and Miss Thought bursted into laughter,... in fact Miss Thought was snickering, trying to keep herself from laughing. Shadow grew annoyed.

"Oh, gee, haha,... real funny. Now put me down!" Shadow commanded. Tails sighed. He at first, gently lowered him until he was a bout five feet away from the ground. Then, he just drops him. Everyone laughed harder now. Shadow got up, and glared at Tails, who immediately stopped laughing.

"That was something." Miss Thought said. "Would everyone else say what they can do?" Miss Thought asked politely.

"Yeah,... what about you Amy,?" Sonic asked, politely.

"Well,... like Knuckles, I do have strength that increases with rage." Amy said. Knuckles was surprised. "But, besides that, I can also tell how people are feeling, and I can change the matter of objects around me." Amy added.

"That's cool." Sonic said. Amy blushed lightly.

"Um,... thanks Sonic." Amy said, with a dreamy tone to it.

"What about you, Blaze." Tails asked.

"I have the reflexes of a cat,... I can also disappear, and reappear, using the shadows, and I've been able to shape-shift into a cat." She answered.

"Cool." Sonic said. Blaze turned to Silver.

"What about you?" She asked him.

"I can wield light, like a weapon, and I can create sonic waves." Silver answered. "Besides that, I have had an ability of levitation." He added.

"Shade?" Sonic asked.

"I can drain energy, I can teleport where ever I want, and I can transfer energy." She answered.

"You mean like, energy you drained from your opponent, and give it to a friend, to keep them standing tall?" Midnight asked. Shade nodded.

"What about you? You haven't said anything since we got in here, Mid." Shadow stated. Midnight slapped him sharply across the face.

"Don't call me that!" She yelled.

"What, Mid?" Shadow asked. He got slapped again.

"Yes! That! I don't let anyone call me that, except my family." She stated.

"What if you had a boyfriend?" Amy asked. She shrugged.

"I wouldn't mind." Midnight said.

"Your powers?" Knuckles questioned, impatiently.

"Well, I have the ability to heal myself, and others. I can tell a good person from a bad person,..." She was interrupter.

"Good from bad?" Shadow questioned.

"What kind of heart they have. If it's a kind heart, it's a bright gold, if it's a black heart, it's a shadowy black." She explained. "Continuing,... I too, have an ability to run at high speeds that race cars can't even match. I can also sense when somethings about to happen. I can also sense the pain others feel,... no matter what kind it is. Besides all that, I can use certain types of energy to create a new ability." She finished.

"That's a lot." Tails said in a stunned tone.

"I know." Midnight said.

"OK,... now that we have that out of the way, you should know that you don't have a regular schedule. All of your class periods are cut in half, lunch is the same time. The rest of the day is spent in this gym, helping you uncover more of the secrets of your powers. We will now return to class." She said. They all followed her, to return to their school day.

I know it's weird. The next chapter starts on their next day of school in gym class where Sonic and Shadow get into their first situation. Please R&R.
