One Band One Dream Chapter 1: Splitting The Band, a soul eater fanfic

Hey guys it's been a long time since I've done a Soul Eater fanfic, but after much success from my other fanfic "Small Town Girl" I decided to do another music fnafic with Soul and Maka. Now first before I get started I want to say that all the rights go to the creators of Soul Eater and that I don't own any of it, also all the right to the songs I list through out this fanfic go to the right of the artist or songwriter and that I don't own any of it. I will address the song and then the artist to show that I do not own any part of it. I hope you guys will enjoy this new adventure full of music and love with Maka and Soul as I have a lot of ideas for this fanfic. Also guys please review, favorite, follow, and leave a message for me on a comment or question you have as it really helps me out a lot. I'm so excited for making this new fanfic, however I'll say this now that I will try to post as much as I can but there is no certainty when I will be posting, so please be on the look out. I'll try to at least post once a week or more if I can, but no promises. I hope you guys will enjoy this fanfic just like with my story "Small Town Girl" and I'll guys later so . . . Enjoy!

Splitting The Bands

Maka's POV

"You've got to be kidding me!?" I argued.

"Maka, please it's-!" Maria exclaimed, but I shook my head and waved my hand to her.

"How could you sign us off on this . . . this . . . stupid contract? Need I remind you that I am this band's leader!" I shouted.

Soon my bandmates Liz, Patty, and Tsubaki came from there dressing rooms and saw how pissed I was. Liz played the lead guitar, sings back up, and a few other instruments when needed. Patti plays drums, sings back up, and a few other instruments when needed just like her sister. Tsubaki plays bass and sings back up. I'm the leader of this band and play lead guitar sometimes as well as a few other instruments, but mostly I'm the main lead singer. I saw them slowly hide behind the doors as if I couldn't see them. Honestly though I was too pissed to even care. I saw Maria my manager sigh as she placed her hand on her head rubbing her temples.

"Maka we had no choice, ok!? If there was any other way I would have chosen that alternative in a heartbeat!" Maria shouted, but I shook my head.

"You did make a choice though. If you think you can convince me to even think about joining their band . . . Then you don't know me at all. I started "New Resonance" and we're staying as "New Resonance". Come on girls we've got a concert to do!" I shouted.

They immediately fell from there sort of hiding spots as I looked to them as they stared back at me. I turned away from Maria without another word and walked off with the girls following close behind me.

"Maka," Liz started, but I stopped her.

"I'm not talking about any of this until we're done with our concert tonight, got it?" I spoke as they gave soft yeses.

I sighed deeply as we were now backstage and I could hear from behind the curtains our adoring fans cheering us on. I smiled a little to that and then turned to the girls and gave them a little pep talk before going on.

"Ok guys before we go out there and rock the show tonight, I just want to say whatever happens after this . . . I'm proud and happy to have been a member of this band that we formed together. I've made a lot of memories with you guys and you're the greatest friends, I could have ever asked for. I love you guys." I smiled as they smiled back and I felt them all hug me tightly.

"We love you to Maka," Tsubaki stated.

"Always and forever!" Liz exclaimed.

"Yeah!" Patti chimed as I laughed and looked at all of them.

"Alright, let's give them a show they won't forget!" I shouted as they all nodded.

I turned toward the stage and started to walk out on stage where I could hear millions of our fans scream and cheering our names. I waved to them along with my bandmates and saw how the crowd grew even louder as we took our places. I stood in my place and then held the mic tightly in my hands as I spoke to the crowd.

"Thank you guys so much for coming out here tonight! It means the world to us, to have you all here tonight! We are "New Resonance" and tonight we're going to rock this show, so are you guys ready!?" I shouted as they all screamed and cheered.

"YES!" They screamed and that was out cue now.

The music began to play in the background as I closed my eyes slowly listening to the sound and beat to the music. I let myself be drowned to the music and right when it was my cue I opened my eyes and became a totally different person. A new me . . . (Rock Show By Halestorm)

Little girl
You like it loud
Come alive in the middle of a crowd
You wanna scream
You wanna shout
Get excited when the lights go down

As I sang this verse I acted a little seductive to get the crowd's attention mostly as I swayed my body to the music. I held the mic in my right hand and held the mic stand in my left as I titled my head back a little letting my hair fall a little. Most of the boys though in the front nearly lost it as I grinned a little to that as I kept singing.

At the rock show
You'll be right in the front row
Heart and soul, they both know
It's where you gotta be

I then turned my attention back to the crowd and stared at them as I sang. I slowly let go of the mic stand and walked slowly to toward the crowd as I as sang with all my heart and soul.

Little girl, there you are
All the lighters looking just like stars
Sing along, feel the sound
Take a ride on the hands of the crowd
Here it comes, the moment when
You know you'll never be the same again
Power chord, see the light
You found your place in the world tonight

At the rock show
You'll be right in the front row
Heart and soul, they both know
It's where we gotta be
Yeah at the rock show
Getting high on the solo
So what if it's crazy?
That's gonna be me

As I sang I let my body move with the music as I sang everything I had as my voice got louder and louder. They crowd started to cheer more as I saw them getting excited in their seats as I sang for them. I even winked to the crowd a few times and they grew even louder.

This goes out to anyone one
Whose heart beats like a kick drum
When a bitchin' riff comes
Knows the words to every line, every time
And you know you gotta go get some, get pumped
Find yourself and lose it

There was a long guitar solo played by Liz who rocked it as the crowd loved it. Then when I started to sing I changed things up a bit making it a different feel for the music.

At the rock show
I'm looking at the front row
Heart and soul, we both know
It's where we gotta be
Yeah at the rock show
We're reaching for the high notes
So what if we're crazy?
You're coming with me
You're coming with me
You're coming with me
So what if it's crazy?
It's where we gotta be
At the rock show

When the song ended I saw the crowd scream with joy as I looked to my bandmates and smiled to them and laughed a little in shock. They cheered as well and smiled as I looked back to the crowd and nodded. We played a few more songs for them and then it finally came to an end as we wrapped up the last song and said our god-byes before walking off stage. Once we were backstage, I already saw Maria coming toward us and before she could speak to me, I lifted my hand a moment and then sighed.

"I can't believe I'm saying this, but fine." I spoke as she lifted up an eyebrow to me.

"Fine," She repeated and I nodded and looked at me with my hand down.

"I'll go along with this little facade of yours about combining our band with . . . theirs. However know this; I'm still doing things my way along with our style of music. This band won't change for them and it's something I think we can all agree on." I stated as I looked to my friends for back up as they crossed their arms and nodded as I looked back at Maria.

"This band is what we created and started together. I'm not going to let that other band try to change that." I said.

"I know Maka . . . Still in order for your guys dreams to becoming number one in this country, then this is the only way. Both our band and theirs are going back and forth between second and third place on the charts. Number one still belongs to "Midnight Madness" our biggest competitor. Both Stein and I have agreed to let you guys meet each other's band and test the waters on how well you guys will work together as one single band. However, nothing is determined, until you all come up with an agreement with each other. However, for the sake of your dreams in coming true this maybe your only option." Maria explained as I looked to my friends and sighed.

"I know, but this isn't going to be just that easy. We've had rival band battles in the past with each other. I'm surprised you even got them to agree to consider us one band." I replied as I saw balls of sweat roll down Maria's face as she looked away as I stared at her.

"They did agree didn't they?" I questioned as she gave a hollow laugh and spoke.

"Funny thing about that . . . Stein said he would talk to them tonight at their concert and let me know later. I haven't heard from him yet to be honest." Maria admitted as I laughed hollowly as I walked away in disbelief as my friends tried to catch up with me.

"Maka wait!" Liz shouted, but I kept walking.

So it's their ultimate decision now whether we meet or not. I gave another hollow laugh before snapping out of it. No matter what decision they make, I won't let them off so easy . . .

Soul's POV

"You really got me Stein! Ha! Funny joke man!" I exclaimed as I started to get ready to head on stage with my members.

"It wasn't a joke Soul, I'm being serious." Stein said sternly as I looked back at him.

"Well I'm not. You must be kidding me, if you actually think I'd join them. What a joke! What a laugh!" I exclaimed laughing hollowly.

"Soul," Kid spoke, but I stopped him.

"My answer is no and that's final!" I stated.

"Who needs stars like them, when we've got the biggest star here!?" Black Star stated as I pointed to him and grinned.

"My point exactly, now we've got a concert to do. Unless you'd rather continue this chat and make our fans wait more." I smirked as he frowned to me as he pushed his glasses closer to his face.

"In order for your dreams to come true in being number one, this is necessary Soul. You're both great bands, but together you'd be incredible. Maria and I have already made a contract and if I recall you made a contract with me as your manager. Now of this would be even possible if it wasn't for me. Your band and everything." Stein explained as I growled.

"I started this band and in our contract I can leave anytime I want." I started, but then Stein grinned.

"Is that what you really want? After working so hard to get to where you are now?" He questioned as I frowned and turned away from him walking to stage with Kid and Black Star following behind saying nothing.

"I'm serious Soul, if there was any other way I would have taken it!" Stein exclaimed, but I gave another laugh.

The moment we got one stage the crowd screamed and cheered our names. I saw the girls in the front and winked to them as they squealed as I shook my head. We got situated into our positions and when I got the mic in my hand I started to speak.

"Hey guys glad to see you all here tonight! We are "Lost Souls"! I along with my bandmates can't thank you enough for coming here tonight so let's get this night started!" I shouted as they screamed in agreement.

Kid handed me the electric guitar as I started to adjust it. Kid played lead or bass depending on what song we played and would sing with me sometimes. Black Star plays the drums. I am the lead singer, I play lead guitar, and various of other instruments. Soon the music began to play and I grinned to the crowd as I began to play. (Freakshow by Skillet)

Step right up, ladies and gentlemen!
Come and see
Things your eyes won't believe!
Some say they are aliens
Some say they are stranger
Some say they are not of this world
We will not conform to the madness,
Whether they scorn or whether they attack us
Come one, come all,
Welcome to the Freakshow!

The intro went on first as I played along with my bandmates the main chords as the intro played out. Soon my part to sing came next and I flashed a grin before singing.

Welcome to the Freakshow
Step up, status quo
Hope you enjoyed the ride
Welcome to the Freakshow
We got horns and halos
We ain't afraid and ain't buying a lie

Eat it, drink it, think it, be it, breathe it
Guess you don't even know who I am
I don't believe it, need it, see it, be it, breed it
Time to make my final stand

As I started to sing my heart out, I could hear the crowd screaming with joy and excitement as I played the guitar and sand to them. I moved closer to the front row and winked at a few girls and held one girls hand who then slowly fainted as I flashed a grin to the rest of the girls as they squealed.

Welcome to the Freakshow
This is where the freaks go
This is the place that they can never take away
Welcome to the Freakshow
We don't ever need no
One to tell us who to be, how to think
I don't care what they believe
Oh, oh, oh
Welcome to the Freakshow

Welcome to the outcast
Take a step across the tracks
We ain't got nothing to prove
Don't need your smiling face
Don't need your head to shake
'Cause it's my life to live and I ain't living for you

Eat it, drink it, think it, be it, breathe it
Guess you don't even know who I am
I don't believe it, need it, see it, be it, breed it
Time to make my final stand

Soon Kid and I did our guitar solos that made the crowd scream louder and cheer our names.

I'm a freak naturally
Just how I want to be
You're a freak just like me
I'm a freak naturally
Just how I want to be
You're a freak just like me

As I continued to sing with everything I got, the crowd grew even louder. I looked back at my members who smiled to me as we kept going with everything we had. I let the music take over me now as I wrapped up the song with fire in my heart.

Freakshow, Freakshow
The place that they can never take away
Freakshow, Freakshow
The place that they can never take away

Welcome to the Freakshow
Welcome to the Freakshow

As soon as the song ended the crowd burst into cheer as they screamed our names as we waved to them. Soon we got off stage after a couple of more songs. I saw Stein smoking at the edge of the wall waiting for me, but I still wasn't in the mood to talk to him after what he told me. I tried to walk past him, but then he placed his hand on my shoulder and then handed me something.

"What's this?" I spoke.

"You're contract. In it stated that I legally own the band "Lost Souls" after signing off for you label and everything. In other words if you don't do as I say, you can kiss your band good-bye because I'll have all the rights to it." Stein stated shocking me as I took a look at the contract and growled, but then he spoke again.

"Soul, I'm not saying that "Lost Souls" will no longer exist. However, this is the best shot we have in getting you guys into being number one in the country! The last few years you and their band have been competing for second place going back and forth between second and third, while you're main competitor is at number one." Stein explained.

"Midnight Madness," I growled as he nodded.

"Maria and I have already schedule and sort of meet and greet. We want to see first off, how well you guys can work together as a single band. However, your decision in the end will be ultimate yours guys choice on whether you want to be a band or not." Stein explained more and I grinned as I heard the words I exactly wanted to hear.

"Fine, we've got a deal. However, I'm not going to have some bitch try to control me around and tell me what to do. Oh no . . . If we're going to do this, then we're going to do this my way." I grinned.
