Chapter 5: Showing What I'm made of

(Shadow POV)

Shadow, along with Twilight, Sonic and Silver continued walking down the hallways getting to their final class for the day.

"So, are any of you three good with instruments?" Twilight asked.

"Well, I'm good with an electric guitar." Sonic explained.

"Same to me." Shadow replied.

"Well, I did get some practice with a drum set before I was old enough to start taking on bigger responsibilities." Silver said. (Silver did have some childhood memories minus the flames, lava and lava creatures created by Iblis.)

"But, I highly doubt that we're gonna play any of those kinds of instruments, because the last I remembered that bands in high school use trumpets, flutes and other classical instruments like that." Sonic said.

"That may apply to those kinds of schools, but here at Canterlot High, we're aloud to use any kind of instrument we wish to play." Twilight explained.

"Wait, are you serious!?" Sonic gasped.

"Yep. Our music teacher gives us assignments to create our own music and present it to the class in a week or so." Twilight also added.

"Okay, I'm starting to love this school now." Sonic said.

Twilight giggled. "You be surprised what this school also has, but I'm not gonna spoil anything for you guys." Twilight said.

(No POV)

Finally, the four made it to the class room. Inside the class room, guitars, bass, flutes, drums and other amazing instruments were everywhere. The students in the classroom were talking among themselves thinking about what they should add for their next music assignments, while others were in sound booth rooms practicing their music. Sonic, silver and even shadow were amazed by what they were seeing.

"Wow, this is an amazing music room. Your teacher must love music to all his heart." Sonic said.

"Well, what can I say; music is my heart and soul." Said a male voice.

The four turned around and stood face to face with their music teacher. He wore a green jacket with a white t-shirt inside. He had black shoes on, along with a pair of jeans. He had green hair, cream-like skin and amber eyes. He also wore a gold chain around his neck, along with a pair of headsets.

"Could this be…" Sonic thought.

"Welcome to my band class. My name is Mr. Vector, but just call me Vector." The man said.

"First Vanilla, and now Vector? This is really weird. Why is it that these teachers look and sound like my friends back on mobius?" Sonic thought.

"I'm probably guessing you three are the newbie's to this school, correct?" Vector asked.

"Uhh, yes sir we are. My name is Sonic." Sonic started. "And, these are my brothers, Silver and Shadow."

"Hi." Silver greeted.

"Humph." Shadow said crossing his arms.

"Well, it's nice to meet you three." Vector greeted. "Now, I want you three to choose an instrument of your choice and play a song for me."

"What? But, we just got here." Sonic said.

"I know, but as part of the rules of this class, I need to see and hear what you three can do when it comes to music." Vector explained.

"Did everyone do this when they first came to this class?" Silver asked.

"Yep. Now go ahead and choose an instrument of your choices." Vector said showing the wall of instruments on the side of the wall.

The three nodded and went to choose their instruments. Sonic chose a shiny blue electric guitar with cyan streaks on them. Shadow chose a black electric guitar with red streaks and Silver chose a white drum set with metal sticks.

"Ah. Interesting choices. Electric guitars and drum sets are high leveled class instruments. But the question is who will sing for your group?" Vector asked.

"I'm also part singer as well." Sonic answered.

"Hmmm, you three are interesting me. Alright then, get your instruments ready and I'll bring the students together." Vector said.

The three brothers plugged in their instruments into speakers and other wiring, and also set the tones of their instruments. Finally, all the students came together and looked at the three that were on stage ready to perform their song.

"Okay newbies, what's the name of the song you three will be playing today?" Vector asked.

Sonic smiled. "This one is one of my most favorites I've played for a while; it's called 'What I'm Made Of'."

"Never heard of that song before, but show me what you got you three." Vector said.

The mobian brothers nodded and Silver clancked his sticks together to start a beat. Then the three started playing.

(Play "What I'm Made Of' from Sonic Heroes.)

Vector, the students and Twilight were already blown away by their start of the song. They became more impressed when Sonic started signing.

I don't care what you're thinking as you turned to me

'Cause what I have in my two hands

Is enough to set me free

(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

Is it me, you say, you're looking for

Let me show you who I am and what I'm here for…(here for)

HEY!

Trying to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Simple curiosity; try to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now…

Vector couldn't believe what he was hearing. In all his years of teaching in his class, he has never met a couple of newbie's who were amazing with music, especially Rock.

Like a million faces

I've recognized them all

And one by they've all become

A number as they fall

(As they fall)

In the face of reason

Well, I can't take no more

One by one they've all become

A black mark on the floor

Is it me (Is it me), you say (You say), you're looking for

Let me show you who I am and what I have in store…(in store)

HEY! HEY! YEAH!

Trying to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Simple curiosity; try to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now…

While they continue to play there, song, Twilight then realized that many students were at the door listening to their amazing performance. Vector saw the students and smiled. He motioned a hand, allowing the students to enter. Soon, piles of students entered the room and the three brothers had a huge crowd.

You can take another lifelong try

You can take another try…Hey!

During the guitar solo from Sonic, the students cheered for them while Twilight was at a loss with words by how amazing they're doing.

"This is incredible. I never knew they would be this amazing with music. There is defiantly more to them than I thought." Twilight thought as she smiled.

YEAH!

Trying to reach inside of me, try to drain my energy

Let me show you just what I'm made of

Simple curiosity; try to take a bite of me

Let me show you just what I'm made of now…

Trying to reach inside of me (Let me show you what I'm made of)

Try to drain my energy(Let me show you what I'm made of)

Let me show you just WHAT I'M MADE OF!

After the song ended, all the students in the crowd shouted and cheered for them for their performance. Sonic gave the crowd a peace sign, Shadow grinned and gave the crowd a thumbs up and Silver smiled while Twirling his sticks. Vector came on stage and clapped.

"That was outstanding. In all my years of performances from many students in Canterlot high, you three have surpassed them all. Well done." Vector said clapping.

Sonic and Silver smiled while Shadow grinned.

"Alright everyone, those that are not in my class, please leave and get back to your classes." Vector called out.

The students took their leave and the brothers got many pats on the back from their classmates. Twilight then walked up to them and smiled.

"That was amazing. You three told me that you were all good with instruments, but you didn't say you three were that good." Twilight said beaming.

Sonic smiled. "I said this and I'll say it again, we're full of surprises." He said giving her a thumbs up.

After that, the three brothers sat down and started planning out what new song they should play for next week or so. Somewhere above them, green eyes were watching them.

(Play Mephalies whisper)

"Enjoy everything while you can hedgehogs, because very soon, you three will face my wrath and I'll finally have the seven chaos emeralds in my possession. Now that you have made new pathetic friends, you have made my work a lot easier." He thought.

The shadow chuckled and disappeared, waiting for the perfect moment to strike at the hearts of the mobians, Twilight and her friends.

To be continued…

Sorry that this chapter is a little short, but there was not a lot that I can put in for this chapter. But I promise that the next chapter will be a lot longer and Rainbow Dash and Sonic will have their race. Until then, Peace out for now everypony.
