Tenacious P
Chapter 2
Double S looked around the room he was in. It was a white room, but it was engulfed with fog. S.S. began to walk around.
"Hello? Hello?" S.S. sighed. "What's with me having these acid-trip dreams...?"
"Hey. You. Rock." A voice emerged. A shadowy figure walked forward. S.S. tried to make out what it was, but couldn't see past the fog.
"Pardon?"
"...Play a song. Show me what you have." The silhouette said calmly. Double S nodded and pulled out his new guitar. He played a random jam that came to his head, but was quickly was interrupted by the mysterious stranger.
"You suck! Get off the stage." S.S. took a pause and then resumed his song, only to be interrupted yet again.
"You cannot rock through this fog. Not until you have mastered the power of metal. Now stop jamming. Perhaps if you understood the TRUTH of the true power of rock, you could conjure the power to play the True Medley. But the truth is... You know nothing of-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP." In anger, Double S ran at the stranger and swung his guitar at him, but, the attack missed horribly, and instead collided with the floor, breaking the guitar.
"Aw, fuuuuck!" S.S. sobbed. The shadow walked from behind.
"You cannot use your rock... Yet. You have yet to even master the Power Slide. You must reach out the the truth and learn how to fulfill your destiny with your music."
"Enh?" S.S. scratched his head before waking up. It was early morning in Dojima's residence. He'd be starting school today. Double S sighed and got out of bed. He hoped that the quest that the old man told him about wasn't that dream sequence. Because, if it was, it would have the most epic failure in the history of fail.
Seta walked downstairs, to find Nanako waiting for him with a plate of breakfast.
"Good morning." She said after giving him the plate.
"Um... Where is your dad?"
"Oh, he had to leave for something important. My daddy's a detective. I'm often left here alone, so I do the cooking around here."
"Oh." S.S. quickly finished his breakfast before heading out.
"Okay. ...Goodbye." Nanako waved. "I'm fine... by myself. All alone. With no parents..."
Double S probably would have discussed Nanako's clearly evident abandonment issues with her, but his understanding, expression, courage, and in general, caring, was not high enough for him to get involved. Instead, he quickly ran towards school, wondering what the future had for him. After arriving to the schoolyard, S.S. looked at his watch. With ten minutes until class started, Double S pulled out the guitar he brought with him began to lay down a fresh tasty jam.
Meanwhile, another high school student rode his bike down. As he passed Double S, he heard him play what must have been the greatest song in the world, because he crashed his bike right after hearing it.
"Oh fuck! My fucking leg! Ow." He muttered while rubbing his wound.
"Hey. Need a hand? What's your name?" S.S. helped the boy up.
"The name's Brosuke. I'm pretty much the greatest musician in Inaba. What's your name..?"
"Call me Double S." Their was a brief pause before Double S continued. "...So... What do you play?"
"Huh? Oh, yeah, you're the transfer student. I play the guitar also. Yeah. It's really popular here at Yasogami High. C'mon, I'll show ya which class you go to."
S.S. and Brosuke headed to class together. Although Double S didn't realize it, Brosuke would play an important part in the dramatic epic that is known...As rock.
