Eugene: Greetings~ *places candle on front of face* today, this is a one-shot unlike you'd ever read~
Spectra: Just get on with it. -_-
Eugene: Ok, ok! *geez* Anyway, I would've waited until sometime around October to write this but.. I JUST CAN'T RESIST! DX So this is kind of a songfic, but unlike most of them, which has a few lyrics in a song and then a story follows, the song lyrics in there are the story. The words just changed for the character. And by character, I mean Spectra here. *points to him*
Spectra: *crosses arms* This better be good, Eugene. Or else…
Eugene: Oh, it will. ;) By the way, the song used for this story is "Jack's Lament", which was sung by Jack Skellington from Nightmare Before Christmas (if you love the movie, Jack, and/or Spectra, then review and fave this!), which is one of my fave Tim Burton movies (it's especially my mom's favorite). You'd better listen to the song before you get this, ok? ;) ONWARD WITH THE ONE-SHOT SONGFIC! SPECTRA'S LAMENT! AND CUE THE MUSIC~! :D
*~Spectra's Lament~*
Song sung by Spectra Phantom/Keith Clay
There are a few who'd deny
At what I do; I am the best!
For my skills and my talents are renowned far and wide.
When it comes to surprises in
The battlefield at day or night,
I always excel without even trying.
With the slightest little effort
Of my deadly charms,
I have seen even the ghosts give out a shriek!
With the wave of my hand,
And a well-placed attack,
I have swept the bravest brawlers *mutters "except Dan Kuso"*
Off their feet.
Yet day after day, it's this
Very same routine
And I grow so weary of the
Sounds of tears and screams.
And I, Spectra, the Vexos King
Have now grown so tired of the
Same old thing~ *mutters "No really."*
Oh, somewhere deep inside
this fighting machine,
An emptiness began to hack and grow.
There's somewhere out there,
Far from between many dimensions and home,
A longing that I'd once ever known.
I am the master of fright,
And a spirit of the fight,
And I bet I'll scare you right out
Of your battlegear and into hysteria.
To a guy born so plucky,
I'm probably so unlucky
Yet I am known throughout
From Earth to New Vestroia.
And since I use technology,
I can use this mask of mine
To make me do things from finding my target
To floating in levitation.
No brawler nor bakugan can
Scream so loudly in regret
With the fury of anger
And determination!
But who here would ever understand
That I wasn't always like this.
That the leader of the team
With the striking mask and grin
Was actually nicer and was more understood.
Maybe I can give up my selfish acts for all I could. *mutters "But I can't"*
Oh, there's a blank place
In my heart and my bones
That calls out for something
So desirable yet unknown.
The fame and praise I get from a day to about a year
Does nothing but.. to cry out for my old life with my tears.
Eugene: Wow.. So different than I thought. ..Hope you'll like it? Besides, I bet it'll be good for Halloween soon!
