~ Chapter 88: Confidence & Standing Up ~

Chica and Rotor went to the next planet as Chica looks around.

"The next mission is that I have landed on a second planet called the Planet of War."

Piano was being played and the spotlight shows Freddy standing there with his head low and behind him is the grey castle-like area. Freddy begins to sing.

"'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

I'm gonna give you my heart

'Cause you're a sky, 'cause you're a sky full of stars

'Cause you light up the path"

Freddy looks up to the catwalk to see Y/N, Scourge, Honey, Sonic, and Sally smiling down at him.

"You got this." Y/N said.

The Mobians in black outfit like Freddy's, holding the black staff, circle around him as he continued singing.

"I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh ooh-ooh"

He glances at Hamlin, who had his arms crossed, shaking his head at him with a hard glare on his face like he's disapproving it. Freddy glances back at the crowd, continuing on. He then looks up at his dance coach, Honey, who's nodding at him, lip singing his song. Freddy smiles and glares in determination.

"'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you"

Freddy steps forward, standing between his dance team, and then did his dance moves. This made everyone cheer for him as he spins around and did a hand stand while spinning around, moving his legs up and down. The dancers followed his move while spinning their staff. Y/N and the others on the catwalk cheered as well for his wonderful dance. Meanwhile, Hamlin is enraged as he turned to Riot, who's dancing to the beat of Freddy's singing and dancing along with the Mobian cow. He snatched the golden staff from the tiger.

"Give me that! And your costume, now!"

Riot looks at him with confusion.

"Wait, what?"

"Take it off, now!"

This got Riot worried for Freddy as the bear continues dancing and singing.

"I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, ooh ooh-ooh"

The black dance team and the red dance team pointed their staff at each other, creating a path for Freddy and... Hamlin, who's in his red costume. The pig smirks at Freddy, who looks nervous and confuse. He turned to see Riot, who's supposed to be in the show, is all naked and wearing nothing but white tank top and light blue underwear. Riot gives him a shrug, wide eyes. Freddy turns back to Hamlin, still singing.

"'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars

I think I saw you"

Hamlin approaches him as the dance teams back away and make room. He brings out his two golden staffs in his fighting position along with Freddy. They circle around each other and the ring of fire traps them inside. Then, Hamlin attacks Freddy as he slams his staffs against Freddy's. Freddy tried to block his attack, but he's too fast as he managed to move his staffs away and hit him hard in the arm and sides. Every hit causes Y/N and her friends to wince. Then there goes the hard part as Freddy and Hamlin crosses their staff against each other while standing on their other staff. They stood there for a moment as Freddy did his best to hold, but with a dirty trick, Hamlin smacked Freddy's staff beneath him, causing him to fall onto the ground. This surprised everyone as they don't know if it's part of the show or not as the dance team were concerned for Freddy. Freddy looks up at him in disbelief and Hamlin slammed his golden staff onto his chest, holding him down.

"You see? You will never be great, Freddy."

Freddy lays there in defeat. Hamlin turns to the crowd and raises his staffs in victory as the ring of fire surrounding them dissipated and everyone cheered, except for the dance team and those behind the stage.

"Seriously?!" Y/N exclaimed, glaring at Hamlin.

"Oh, come on! That's not fair!" Scourge groaned.

Honey looked at Freddy for a moment and then banged the metal bucket, causing them to look at her and down to Freddy, who heard her. He glared at Hamlin, feeling determined and stood up, hitting his staff against the ground to follow the beat drum Honey's making. The black and red dance teams followed Freddy's lead as they hit their staff against the ground in rhythm. Riot did the same with his broom to join them, even if he isn't in the stage with them, he's still part of the dance team. Hamlin looked at Freddy and everyone else in shock.

"I don't care, go on and tear me apart

I don't care if you do, oh oh-oh"

Hamlin glared at Freddy and goes to attack him when Freddy flipped over, glaring back at the choreographer. Freddy spins his staff while flipping and dodging every attack from Hamlin

"'Cause in a sky, 'cause in a sky full of stars"

"Yeah, that's more like it!!" Honey cheered, still hitting the metal bucket through the beat.

Freddy pointed at his staff threatenly at Hamlin, shouting his last song.

"I think I saw you!!"

He spins himself along with the staff and knocks the red hat off of Hamlin's head, making him yelp. Taking his distraction, Freddy smashes Hamlin's golden staff in half with his own staff then smacks him in the cheek, making him turn his head around. With a few swings, Freddy faces Hamlin up close, glaring straight at him and making him flinch as he hits his staff against the ground beside him. They stare at each other for a minute until the crowd cheer again, but louder. Freddy's face softens and turns to the crowd and smiles. They all chanted Freddy's name. Freddy turns to Hamlin, only to see him bow before him. This caused the dance teams to cheer too. Hamlin looks up at him with a smile for the first time. Looks like he now respected him, which made Freddy smile even more.

Y/N and the others behind the stage cheered for the wonderful performance along with Bunnie, who came back after her first performance, and Antoine. Suddenly, Scourge's walkie-talkie was called.

"Scourge, come in. This is Fiona."

"What is it?"

"G.U.N. are on sight. I repeat G.U.N. are on sight. Over."

"Roger that."

Scourge places his walkie-talkie in his jacket pocket and smirks, cracking his knuckles.

"Right. Let's go to work."

"You gonna be okay?" Y/N asked in worry.

Scourge turns and held her chin up for her look up close to him.

"No worry, babe. You need to focus on your show. I'll see you there."

Instead of by the lips, which she was sure he was going to, he kissed her on the cheek. This surprises her and then Scourge left.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to Chica as she had landed on the next planet, looking around the place full of volcanoes and big rocks.

"Mission report: my search takes me to the third planet. The Planet of Joy."

Y/N walks over to the buttons next to Nicole as she called Roxy through the earbud.

"Alright. Here we go, Roxy. Time to show the world what you're really made of."

Roxy, who's underneath the stage, nodded in determination as she's all dressed up nice in her alien costume. She was then catapulted into the air and landed in the Planet of Joy and began to sing.

"Don't wanna live as an untold story

Rather go out in a blaze of glory

I can't hear you, I don't fear you"

A black balloon alien was popped out with a scary face. Roxy goes over and touches it, causing it to pop and turn into a happy blue and purple polka dot balloon alien. Suddenly, more black scary alien were popped out from the ground. Roxy smirked and jumped over and touched every balloon aliens to turn them happy and bright and walking past them like a boss.

"I'll live now 'cause the bad die last

Dodging bullets with your broken past

Well, I can't hear you, I don't fear you now"

Commander and G.U.N. Soldiers came inside only to bump into the Destructix.

"Hey, who the heck are you guys?!"

"We're the security." Scourge smirked.

"Wrapped in your regret

What a waste of blood and sweat

Oh oh-oh"

Commander snapped his fingers and all the soldiers began to attack the G.U.N. except the Dark Team, but the Destructix easily fought back like it was nothing as each of the soldiers were knocked down. Shadow, Rouge, and Omega zoom past them and goes towards the backstage. Meanwhile, Roxy continues singing as she's having fun. All of the happy balloon aliens popped out everywhere.

"I wanna taste love and pain

Wanna feel pride and shame

I don't wanna take my time

Don't wanna waste one line

I wanna live better days

Never look back and say

It could have been me

It could have been me, yeah!"

Back to Destructix as they kept on fighting them off as Scourge spin dashes through them like a bowling game as he made a perfect strike. Commander manages to get past them and slams the door open to only see Roxy singing on stage. He scoffs and looks around for any sign of Eclipse. Roxy immediately notices him and glares, still singing.

"Don't wanna wake up on a Monday morning

The thought of work's gettin' my skin crawlin'

I can't fear you, I don't hear you now"

Roxy comes over to Commander and gives him a smug look as if telling him you'll never find him because he's their friend. Commander would have snatch her to put her in place if she hadn't turn around to continue her performance. She was then catapulted high in the air.

"Wrapped in your regret

What a waste of blood and sweat

Oh oh-oh"

Stars behind Roxy flashes and flips over to reveal the wisps as they tap dance and sing. Roxy kept getting catapulted high in the air as she sings.

"I wanna taste love and pain (I wanna taste love)

Wanna feel pride and shame

I don't wanna take my time (No)

Don't wanna waste one line (Hey)"

Commander was about to continue his search when Y/N come behind him and karate chops him in the side of the neck, knocking him unconscious. She then pulls out the rope and ties him up tight before placing the rag to keep his mouth shut.

"I never liked you or your G.U.N. anyway." Y/N scoffed and looked at Roxy, smiling.

"I wanna live better days (Better days)

Never look back and say

Could have been me (It could have been me)

It could have been me (It could have been me)"

The floor beneath the wisps began to move and surround Roxy, creating something.

"I wanna taste love and pain (I wanna taste love and pain)

Wanna feel pride and shame (wanna feel pride and shame)

Don't wanna take my time (I don't wanna waste my time)

Don't wanna waste one line (don't wanna waste one line)

I wanna live better days

Never look back and say

It could have been me

Oh, it could have been me

It could have been me!"

Before she knew it, Roxy is high on the top as it made into like a Christmas tree made of lights from the wisps and fireworks were bursted out after finishing her last song. Roxy kicked the air and looked at the crowd as they all cheer for her. She panted from all that energy she had brought out from singing and dancing. Roxy gave the crowd a wave, giggling as her fluffy tail wags.

"Mission report: No sign of a missing space explorer. I'm now heading to that mysterious comet."

Chica and Rotor took a flight in the spaceship as they took a few flight for a moment until they stopped on the comet that are full of darkness. Chica walks out and looks around.

"Mission report: I'm now on a search on a fourth planet. The Black Comet."

Hearing that, this made Shadow and the Dark Team look at each other in concern. They were about to barge in when Y/N stood in front of them with her arms crossed.

"Let him do this. This is to prove you guys wrong. Watch and learn."

Shadow and Dark Team look at each other then at Y/N, who didn't bother to face them, and then to Sonic and the Freedom Fighters and Freddy and the gang as they gave them a nod to watch. They eventually listened and see what can Eclipse do. Suddenly, music was on in the background and the darkness fades away to reveal Eclipse in his black hooded cloak as he stood there. He then begins to sing.

"This is the real me

This is the real me"

Eclipse then rips off the cloak to reveal himself, surprising everyone in the crowd. On cue, the Dark Arms came as they began to make forms while dancing in the air or ground.

"(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)

This is the real me

(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)

This is the real me"

Eclipse starts to dance as he did a spin and signals one of the Dark Arms to give him their power to show them his different form while singing.

"A long long time ago so far away

A boy had left his home and found his way

Time and time again he heard them say

Change the one you are and run far away

Can't go back now, won't even try

Won't go back now - this is his cry"

Every other Dark Arms goes into Eclipse's body as he transforms into other things.

"Can't fake me, take me

Love me or leave me (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me)

Can't break me, make me change who I will be (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me)

(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah, This is the real me)

(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah, This is the real me)

Don't listen to what they say, you stay the same (stay the same)

Don't do what people say and take the blame (take the blame)

Can't go back now, won't even try

Won't go back now - this is is his cry"

Together all of the Dark Arms go into Eclipse as he transforms into a full ultimate alien.

"Can't fake me, take me

Love me or leave me (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me)

Can't break me, make me change who I will be (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me)

(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah, This is the real me)

(Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah, This is the real me)

Can't fake me, take me

Love me or leave me (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me)

Can't break me, make me change who I will be (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me, this is the real me)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Here I go)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (I'm comin', I'm comin'!)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Here I come)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (I'm comin' now)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)

You, you can't stop me now, you-you can't stop me now (Oh, Wo-ah, Woah, no, no, no, Oh, Wo-ah)"

Then, he dissipated as the Dark Arms comes out of Eclipse and they continue dancing as he sings his last songs.

"Can't fake me, take me

Love me or leave me (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me) (I'm comin', I'm comin')

Can't break me, make me change who I will be (Oh, wo-ah) (I'm comin' now)

(This is the real me)

Can't fake me, take me

Love me or leave me (Oh, wo-ah)

(This is the real me) (I'm comin', I'm comin')

Can't break me, make me change who I will be (Oh, wo-ah) (I'm comin' now)

This is the real me (This is the real me)"

Eclipse and Dark Arms did a dramatic pose. Everyone were silent for a moment until one of them began clapping and they followed their lead. They all cheered for the amazing performance he brought that got them to understand how he feels to be judged. Eclipse looks up with surprise before giving them a small smile. He and Dark Arms then bow to them.

"Mission report: Still no sign of the missing space explorer. I'm getting close. I can feel it." Chica said.

Shadow, Rouge, and Omega were speechless. Y/N gives them a smirk.

"Told ya he would show you."
