It's been four months since the finished rebuilding of the Moon Theater,and it's been one hell of a ride for one enthusiastic koala.

Buster Moon was currently in his office preparing to hold a new audition to complete the current crew.

Johnny,Meena,Ash,Rosita and Gunther had all accepted the job offer Buster made them all shortly after the building was finished.

Meena being the youngest was worried that this would crash with her school since she had exams coming up and she needed her study time, but Buster was quick to ease her fears, and after a conversation with her parents and school, Meena happily accepted.

Johnny, living alone in the garage until his dad and uncles came out of prison was happy to gain a source of income to maintain the place and not get thrown out on the met with his dad as often as possible during visiting hours, and he never got tired of hearing how proud his old man was of him.

As for Big Daddy, as he calls himself,he had been contemplating what to do once he got out. He had promised Johnny that his life of crime was behind him. He thought about going back to being a simple car mechanic,but he wouldn't be allowed to do that unless he got a certified gave him the idea of going back to study for it, but he wouldn't limit himself to only cars,he'd go for every type of mundane source of transport there exists, from bikes,mopeds,heavy motorcycles to cars all the way up to buses and he convinced his brothers to do the same so that the family could work together at the in all, life was getting back on track for the gorillas.

As for Ash,she had gotten her old spunk back after the disaster with Lance and she was considered to be one of the greatest artists in town along with the rest of the Moon-Crew. She had changed her style a little,but not so much that she was unrecognizable. She was happy to finally contribute a bit more at the theater as well,having finished university with a mastery in sound engineering.

Rosita,being the busy-body mother of 25 piglets had gotten happier over the few months after the concert in the ruins. Her husband had finally opened his eyes to what his wife had been doing for months without him noticing. This lit a fire under his ass, and he had been more active at home with both the piglets and his wife.

Gunther,the dynamic pig had more or less been adopted by Rosita's kids as "Uncle Gunther", something that pleased him immensely, considering that he had no known family himself.

All in all,the crew was on the right track to be world-known superstars and Buster wowed to himself that he would be there when it happened.

"Yup,these guys are going to go far" Buster said to himself right before it knocked on the door and his faithful assistant,miss Crawley came in. "Good morning mister Moon" she said in her usually distracted,happy tone. "Good morning Miss Crawley" Buster said happily. "Are you ready for the new audition?" he asked. "Oh yes,there's a lot of animals outside. I have good feeling about this" she said. "Excellent,go downstairs and get everyone organized,and I will be with you shortly" Buster said. "Yes sir"the old reptile said as she left his office.

Just then the phone rang. "Moon Theater,this is Buster Moon" he said. "Hey Buster,how's everything going?" said the voice of Buster's life-long best friend,Eddie.

"Oh hey Eddie,everything's fine,we're about to start the auditions for the completion of the crew,so if you want to you're welcome to come to watch!" Buster said with huge smile. "Sounds good Buster,I'll see you then!" Eddie said as he hung up. "time to go to work" Buster said as he ran downstairs.

He arrived downstairs,and saw miss Crawley there with a megaphone in her hand. He took it from her, and said loudly: "Welcome everyone to today's audition! Now,if you will move to backstage,Miss Crawley will guide you there,and we'll see who will finish the roster of our prominent crew! Good luck people,I look forward to see you all!" Buster said before he ushered Miss Crawly ot guide the participants backstage. Just then,the doors opened again and Johnny,Ash, Rosita and Gunther arrived with Eddie,who had picked up almost everyone. "Hey guys,you here to see the prospects?" he said,his ever-present smile gleaming.

"Hey Moon,yeah,figured we'd check out the rookies to see if there's anyone we could all cooperate with" Ash replied with a small smirk present. "I'm always ready to look at new talents,but I need to get some coffee to wake up first,if that's alright?" the young gorilla asked. "I'll take the coffee run today Johnny,no problem,just go and sit down and I'll join you when I've gotten us all some coffee" Eddie said as he left and the crew joined Buster on first row to watch the participants.

Buster then yelled: "Miss Crawley,can you bring the first contestant please?" What came next was a slightly muscular red fox, dressed up in jeans,a black t-shirt,sneakers and a piercing in the middle of his right ear. "Good morning sir,and who are you?" Buster asked. "My name's Riley and I'm 22 years old"

"And what are you going to do for us today?" "well,I would say I'm decent both as a singer and as a rapper,so if it's okay I'll do a bit of both" he said as he gave a signal to miss Crawley to play the music.

(Linkin Park-A place for my head)

I watch how the moon
sits in the sky in the dark night
Shining with the light from the sun
And the sun doesn't give light to the moon assuming
The moon's going to owe it one
It makes me think of how you act to me
You do Favors and then rapidly, you just
Turn around and start asking me about
Things you want back from me
I'm sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Maybe someday I'll be just like you and
Step on people like you do and
Run away the people I thought I knew
I remember back then who you were
You used to be calm used to be strong
Used to be generous but you should've known
That you'd Wear out your welcome now you see
How quiet it is all alone
I'm so Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest
I'm so Sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away
You try to take the best of me
Go away

I want to be in another place
I hate when you say you don't understand
(You'll see it's not meant to be)
I want to be in the energy, not with the enemy
A place for my head

Shut up

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

I'm so sick of the tension, sick of the hunger
Sick of you acting like I owe you this
Find another place, to feed your greed
While I find a place to rest

By the time Riley had put down the microphone,everyone was blown away.

Buster was the first to respond. "Wow,thank you head back and get something to drink,and I'm sure we'll see you soon." he said with his biggest smile.

Riley smirked as he walked backstage.

There were several more contestants,but no one really stood apart from the crowd until a droopy Buster asked the next contestant to come forward. A female wolf forward,dressed in a tank top,camoflage cargo pants and sneakers and a ring in her nose. "Hello,what's your name?" Buster asked. "Hello,I'm Alice,and I'm 19 years old"the female wolf said. "So what are you going to do for us today?" "I'm gonna sing for you, I hope you like it" she said before giving miss Crawley the signal.

(Battle Beast-King for a Day)

Welcome to the nightmare

Where Villains wear the crowns

Fools role a broken world

and fear grows all around

There's a bad King

a dreadful puppet on a string

He pretends to be a champion

of the common man

wants more division

in his lost and riven land

He plays with real lives

in the darkest game of life

His greedy eyes

look insane,frozen smile like he's in pain

He doesn't count

The human cost but only money made or lost

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide,why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

cannot save you anymore

King for a day

He knows how to justify

and how to feed the myths

how to glorify

the lies and hide the truth

He talks a lot but

his mouth is full of empty words

He has the right friends

making shady inside deals

Before the story ends

we will be out of tears

Fools give the answers

wise men don't even try

The time has come

To dethrone him,but there's a new clone stepping in

Just more scum

another greedy,rotten puppet on a string

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide,why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

cannot save you anymore

King for a day

"I own the seas

I have the Earth on its knees

Give me another day

and I'll take your future away

Just vote for me again"

King for a day

He kills the truth and looks away

King for a day

lives like the world would end today

King for a day

What do you hide,why do you lie?

Who made the rules for this game?

Who is paying your champagne?

All the mercy in the world

cannot save you anymore

King for a day

As Alice ended the song, there was a widespread range of emotions on the spectators; Buster,Rosita and Eddie had their jaws hanging,Johnny looked slightly fearful of her,Gunther had wide eyes and was shaking slightly. Ash on the other hand,was grinning madly, as if a mad plan had come to fruition. She then started clapping frantically and cheering: "You go,girl! That was fucking awesome!" her clapping and cheering brought the others out of their funk,and Buster was next to react.

"Uh,Wow. That was certainly you Alice,I'm sure we'll see you again soon" he said,never looking her in the eyes. She saw this however, and said: "I'm sorry mister Moon,but did my singing scare you?" Buster froze at that, and sighed. "I apologize for giving you that reaction,but I assure you that your singing didn't precisely scare me,rather just bring forth some unpleasant memories" here he looked at Alice and smiled. " You have a brilliant voice, and trust me,I'd love to bring it further, but for now,could you please bring out next contestant?" Buster asked,but then miss Crawley came out from backstage

"Um,Mister Moon,everyone else but two left, the fox that was out here first,and a suspicious-looking pitbull" just as she said that,said pitbull came out "Who are you calling suspicious-looking, ya old reptile?"

Buster cut in "Hello,and who might you be?" The pitbull replied: "My name's Vinnie,friends call me Vin. I'm here to audition. I'm a straight rapper,so that's what I'm gonna do" he said as miss Crawley walked backstage to put on the music.

(Linkin Park feat. Busta Rhymes-We made it)

Together we made it
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall

See a nigga survived the worst, but my life is glorious (huh!)
Better know that I leaped every hurdle and I'm so victorious (huh!)
Take a look, I'm a symbol of greatness now call a nigga Morpheus (yeah)
As force securin the win, better believe I'm so notorious (yeah)
You know that I've been 'bout my bread even though we rappin now (and yes)
We used to live on the strip even though a nigga higher level trappin now (oh!)
Superceded every one of my little struggles and (huh!)
Failure has never ever been an option (trust)
A nigga paper long like rush hour traffic
And I'm about to take the hood shoppin; get it!

Together we made it (you see we did it niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (ha ha!)
And they told us we were never gonna get it
But we took it on the road (to the riches) on the road (to the ghetto)
On the rooooad (from the projects to this bangin instrumental)
On the road (ride with me) on the road (we come to get it)
On the rooooad (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yo
When it all got started we were steadily just gettin rejected
And it seemed like nothin we could do would ever get us respected
At best we were stressed, at the worst they probably said we're pathetic
Had all the pieces to that puzzle, just the way to connect it
I was fightin through every rhyme, tightenin up every line
Never restin the question if I was out of my mind
It finally came time to do it or let it die
So we put the chips on the table and told 'em to let it ride
Sing it, yeah!

Together we made it (you see we did it niggas!)
We made it even though we had our backs up against the wall (c'mon)
Forever we waited (ha ha!)
And they told us we were never gonna get it
But we took it on the road (to the riches) on the road (to the ghetto)
On the rooooad (from the projects to this bangin instrumental)
On the road (ride with me) on the road (we come to get it)
On the rooooad (yeah, yeah, yeah!)

Look, in case you misunderstand exactly what I'm buildin
Shit that I could leave for my children's (children's) children's (children)
Now on my wake up I smile, to see how far I've come (yeah)
Fightin for sales on a strip, to I gained the hustle from (yeah)
From nights in jail on a bench, usin my muscles son (yeah)
To countin money like Dre and Jimmy and Russell was (yeah nigga)
But now I live when I dream, you see we finally did it (ohh!)
Let's make a toast to the hustle regardless how you get it
Sing it!

Together we made it (you see we did it niggas!)

As Vinnie ended the song,Buster and the rest was equally shocked that the dog could rap so well. Once again,it was Buster who started. "Well,okay then.I'm settled" he looked to his crew. "Are you guys settled?",getting a collective "Yeah!" in return, before he turned to Vinnie,Alice and Riley who had come out to see what's going on. "Congratulations you three!You're now a part of the Moon-Crew!",getting a smirk from Riley,A huge grin from Alice and a shocked look from Vinnie.

Buster saw this and said: "Don't be so shocked Vinnie, you are an excellent rapper,and I have a good feeling that we'll all be able to cooperate just fine together! Now,I want to make it an official welcome,by inviting everyone out for pizza! I'll deal with the paperwork for you three tomorrow. Johnny,how many people can your car take?" Buster asked. "Well,umm,four,I s'ppose,otherwise I would've taken us all"Johnny replied shyly.

Buster just waved him off. "That's fine,say Eddie,which car do you use today?" "I have the minibus today,which can hold the rest of us if Johnny takes Ash,Vinnie and Riley with him" the sheep replied. "Excellent idea Eddie,let's go folks!" Buster said as he led them out of the theater.
