I know what you're thinking: "Jeez, j-w, why are you posting so many things on the Avalon Code archive? You're not even past Chapter 2 in that other story!"
I'm working on it. And please, hear me out! This is more of a parody than a real story. Hehe.
And this should actually be called "When Lunatics Get Together," lunatics being me and dmc87. So even after I've played Avalon Code, I could not stop blabbing about it to dmc87, who told me to shut up and let her watch her favorite Disney songs on YouTube. Which made Avalon Code-crazed me think, what if Avalon Code characters sang like in Disney movies? Apparently I said it aloud because dmc87 said, "You're crazy. I'm ending the call now..." To which I replied, "It'll be crazy! Exactly! Which only means we gotta do it." Then she sighed, and like a true friend, hopped on board.
So this parody has Avalon Code characters singing to Disney songs, but with edited lyrics to fit the story.
Lyric edits by me and dmc87, but the Disney songs belong to Disney! We were just playing around with them for fun and make no profit from this. Avalon Code and its characters belong to its creators, aka not us at all, we who are but humble fans. :)
It's actually based on my other Avalon Code story, To Be. It follows the events (loosely for some parts, closely for others, I'll just tell you which if you care to know), so if you've played the game but not read the fic some parts may seem confusing. (For example, To Be's version of Tia is reluctant at first to accept the Book of Prophecy, which is why she needs convincing by Rempo. This is reflected in the Aladdin "Friend Like Me" song parody which you'll see in the next chapter, called "Book Like This," where Rempo has to convince Tia to use the Book of Prophecy.) Some just follow the game without the personality quirks I've given some characters, like this first chapter. So watch out for that. (Also, read my other fic! Hehe!)
Anyway! Because this is connected to my other fanfic, I'll just briefly summarize what's happening and tell you where it belongs in the game and, if needed, in my other fic To Be.
This is in screenplay format. (Not strictly. Haha.) By that I mean I'll include a description to clue you in on the events where this is included. We made it so that if you'd like, you could read To Be between songs. Hehe! Yes, this is full of shameless plugging to my other fic. Sorry 'bout that.
So this first song is at the very beginning, before the start of the game. In the context of To Be, it's after the brief scene of Kullervo before the end of the world. I suggest you listen to the song on YouTube while reading this. More fun that way. XD
Song 1: Book of Prophecy
(Based on "The Gospel Truth, Part I" of Disney's Hercules)
[From black, the screen brightens with picture of the Book of Prophecy, closed. It blinks, then flips open as the music starts, showing each of the bookmarks of the four spirits. One by one, they spin out of the Book. Mieli and Ur regard each other dearly, while Rempo and Neaki look disgruntled and indifferent, respectively, as usual. Ur appears to notice the camera, and speaks first, floating.]
[Ur:]
We are the Spirits
Guardians of the Book
and the Chosen One's companions
[Mieli, Rempo, and Neaki notice the camera as Ur speaks. Mieli interrupts first, giggling.]
[Mieli:]
Chosen Ones like Tia!
[Rempo:]
Ugh, you mean Chicken Liver Tia! You have no idea how long it took me to-
[Ur:]
Our story actually begins long before Tia. Many eons ago...
[Neaki hums 'mmm's and 'ooh's in the background with Mieli]
Back when the world was new
The Chosen One was glad and content
And on the earth you'd find not one
small inkling of dissent
[Rempo:]
It was a happy place!
All the four king-
-doms sought his delight
[Ur:]
Kullervo reigned with wisdom
and all bowed down to his might...
(Rempo: Ugh, let me say it, Ur!)
[Spirits:]
And then he made those fiends
[Rempo:]
They filled the earth with pain!
[Spirits:]
Discord!
[Rempo:]
Pleas of men were all in vain!
[Spirits:]
Ignored!
And Kullervo stopped
caring for his land!
The Book of Prophecy
It left his side, he'd gone too far!
[Mieli:]
And that's the world's first feud!
[Neaki:]
With his new plan
We couldn't agree.
[Spirits:]
And so we sealed his fiends and hid the
Book of Prophecy
And it's said when the world is rife
with too much strife we'll see
A brand new Chosen One to wield the
Book of Prophecy!
[The spirits return to the Book singing as the music continues. The Book flips to another page: Sunny Hill. The page is filled with colors of the sky. "Avalon Code Musical" flashes on the screen. The camera pans down from the sky to see Franelle Castle and the castle town of Rhoan, but focus remains on a familiar red bookmark-Rempo-swaying as it falls from the sky like a feather. As the music calms, the bookmark falls on top of an orange-haired girl taking a nap behind a tall, black monolith with ancient runes.]
