KS: Hello everyone, this is KnightSpark. Now, as I'm sure many of you have already heard, Monty Oum, the creator of RWBY... is no longer with us. This has been a shock to everyone, myself included. Everyone at DeviantArt is presenting works to preserve his memory, and I plan to release this songfic dedicated to such a great person there later on. But first, I want you all to to see it. The song is Gone by RZA of the Wu-Tang Clan, Justin Nozuka, Kobra Khan and Finger Eleven guitarist James Black. Just a word of warning though, I haven't done something like this and I tried really hard not to put in anything that will tarnish the memory of the recently deceased. If there is any mistakes in this songfic, please point them out. Also, if you have the song on your phone or iPhone, feel free to play it while reading this.

Gone, gone, gone, gone, gone…
Woke up this morning, hopin'
It was all a nightmare
You're gone
Tried to get out of my bed
I couldn't find no reason
You're gone
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
And my heart aches 'cause I'll never see you again
You're gone
[Cuts to Sage standing in front of multiple screens showing Ren in action]
[Sage]
Man, how I long to see your physical form
When you left me, a part of my soul got torn
How could a body turn cold that was once so warm
How could the spark of Allah in your heart be gone
Who could replace the space of Unique Ason
I know you'd rather I'd be strong and not waste time to mourn
They say that life goes on
Especially when I see the face of your first born
When he's rocking on stage with no shirt on
Or in the hotel lobby getting those birds on
Through our seeds, we can all reach eternity
Peace and blessings, have a safe journey
I had dreams of us laughing, drinking beers, chasing girls
Fill the world with our ideas
Then I wake up and look up and you're not there
But in my third eye I know that you're still here, because
Through our seeds, we all reach eternity
Peace and blessings, it's just another journey

[Sun]
Woke up this morning, hopin'
It was all a nightmare
You're gone
Tried to get out of my bed
I couldn't find no reason
You're gone
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
And my heart aches 'cause I'll never see you again
You're gone
Looked out the window and stared at the sun
I couldn't see the light, I couldn't see, oh lord, you're gone
You're gone
[Cuts to Scarlet sitting in a chair holding StormFlower in his hands while rain falls on him]
[Scarlet]
Yo, I can't stop these thoughts coming into my mind
In a broken place is where you eventually find
This pain on both sides, can't deny
Memories of you and I take us back in time
Where we used to be together no matter the stormy weathers
I would ramble with, nothing could ever break us apart
And sometimes would get under the pressure 'cause people jealous
But your memory will be here forever, kept in my heart
This is more than you'll ever know, me and you inseparable
Never do we let it show, it's so hot I'll let you go
Thought it would last forever, guess I was wrong
And time goes by so fast and now your gone
[Cuts to Sun placing a lotus flower on Monty's tombstone while Neptune stands beside him]
[Sun]
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
And my heart aches 'cause I'll never see you again
You're gone
My blood pumps with anger and sorrow and liquor
Tell me how can I live with out you now that you're gone
You're gone
[Sage and Scarlet appear and place lotus flowers on the tombstone]
[Sage]
Against all odds and against all squads
And against all evil trying to come against God
We stand with the iron rod, you wield the sword
I use the softness to conquer the heart
I'm Divine Prince Master Rakeem Allah
Earthbound, but my mind's in the stars
Things are reborn, life always change form
Man must reform to make the heart calm
Drunkeness, leads to non-awakeness
Causing him to look upon his father's nakedness
When the truth is heard, there's no foresaking it
That which is forbidden, we don't partake in it
[Sun]
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
It breaks my heart 'cause I'll never see you again
And my heart aches 'cause I'll never see you again
You're gone
[All members of SSSN hold up a card saying 'We'll miss you, Monty Oum']
KS: Well... it's done. I hope you enjoyed it. Also, we'll miss you, Monty Oum. You left all of us something that will remain in our hearts forever.
