The last time we had a show, I don't think it went it that well. I guess it doesn't matter, no one will ambush us now. The evil exs are dead and I don't think anyone hates me, well except for Kim. and I guess it's good that Stephen Stills isn't in the band, he always has this huge freakout everytime before a show...

The Rockit was filled to the brim with people, which made the Rockit loud due to the murmurs about the bands that were performing. Most people were where because the famous, well infamous, Shatterband was finally having a show.
Scott, a woman and a man were all backstage, the man was having one of his freakouts,
"Oh, god. OH, GOD! What if they hate us? What if we still suck?" he loudly mumbled as he paced around the room,

Name: Stephen Stills

Ah, Stephen Stills, it just wouldn't be a show without this. Scott thought to himself as he remincised about how he always freaked out before a show,
"Just be lucky you're not in the band." the woman bluntly told him, not that it wasn't going to stop him,

"Yes, but I'm the band manager. If you suck, I take the blame!" Stephen Stills retorted,
"Stephen?" a man with large, orange facial hair who entered the room asked,

Name: Joseph
Age: 25
Angry, Gay & ANGRY!
Rating: HOLY CRAP! Gay Julie!

When he saw Joseph he stopped freaking out, hugged Joseph and started making out,
Somehow this freaks me out more than Wallace's 'friends'. Scott told himself, wincing in horror,
"Be gay somewhere else." Kim interupted, Stephen Stills broke off the kiss and looked at Kim,
"Kim, we just broke up." Stephen Stills informed her,
"For like the fifteenth time!" Scott shouted out in the general direction of Stephen Stills, Stephen Stills opened his mouth to reply, but the guy announces the bands interupted,
"So, uhhh... Yeah. We have Shatterband up first." he unenhustaticly announced, the crowd roared and applauded as Scott & Kim took the stage, Scott clutching his guitar and Kim spinning her drum sticks.
The roaring died down as they counted in to their first song, The Pilgrim,
"We are Shatterband! ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!" Kim bellowed out,

SONG TIME!

I'm Scott Pilgrim!
I'm just moving through life
one step at a time!

CRACK! The roof of the Rockit, which had just been repaired after what Matthew Pattel did to it, broke again,A blur moved to where Scott and Kim were standing,
Why does this keep on happening? Scott asked himself
"Scott Pilgrim!" a woman's voice called out, Scott recognised it,
Wait a second... Scott told himself as he tried to remember a name,
"Roxie?" he asked the blur, which started to fade away to show a woman in black garbs with a katana at her side, anda chinese girl in her arms, who looked like she passed out,

Name: Roxie Ritcher
Age: 25
Bifurious
Rating: In lesbians with Knives

"Pilgrim, you lazy ass! Why didn't you invite us?" Roxie demanded,
"Hey! I have a bad memory." Scott reasoned,
"Don't you give me that excuse, I know all about NegaScott and all that, you should have your full memory." Roxie argued with Scott, Kim was still shocked by what just happened,
"Well, I still have a bad memory!" Scott admitted, Roxie just sighed, Pilgrim was still Pilgrim she guessed,
Wait a second, why have I got a bad memory again? Scott asked himself, Ever since I beat NegaScott I always had a better memory, why do I have a bad memory again? Scott's question answered itself as he saw himself, with black skin and red eyes ,wearing pitch-black clothes, behind Roxie.

Name: NegaScott
Age: 1 week
Newly revived
Status: Sinister

Scott froze at the sight, and NegaScott took the advantage to get some hits in, he grabbed Scott by collar and was about to punch him, but Scott kicked him in the shin, which made him release his grasp,
"Owww!" he screamed, and Scott couldn't resist a joke,
"And I thought the cat got your tongue." he teased,
"Scott making a good joke? I think I see three horsemen!" Kim sarcastically joked, Scott looked back and saw that everyone had left the stage and started to fight Negascott, drawing out the Power of Understanding, NegaScott hesitated and Scott charged in, slashing in a huge a arc.

It hit NegaScott and sliced his shirt in half, Skhhin, Scott tried a vertical slash, but this time NegaScott was ready and jumped to the side, which made the Power of Understanding embed itself into the stage. As Scott was trying to pull it out with his right hand, NegaScott walked slowly to him and with each step the desparation on Scott's face was growing.
NegaScott was face to face with Scott and threw a punch.

What he didn't expect was the uppercut from Scott's left hand. NegaScott was launched into the air, practically defenseless. Using the sword as a platform he launched himself and stared at NegaScott. NegaScott threw a punch at him, but Scott effortlessly dodged it.
As Scott drew out the Power of Understanding and dimembered NegaScott, who disolved into a black cloud, PAF.

What he didn't notice was the sinister smile plastered on NegaScott face,
"Hey, watch out!" he taunted as he disappeared, Scott turned to look behind him, which was what NegaScott was waiting for. He punched Scott straight in the jaw, Scott flew down, Wssshhh, and dropped the Power of Understanding, which planted itself into the wooden stage.
Scott saw this and used the sword as a lever to slow down his fall, then used the momentum to throw the Power of Understanding back up.

It whistled like an arrow and flew straight into NegaScott's heart, impaling him into the roof of the Rockit. Scott jumped up to close the gap between them and removed the sword, leaving NegaScott free to pummel him.
Just as the first punch was about to connect NegaScott felt a stabbing pain in his side and turned to see a katana protuding from his side and a flicker of sand green hair.
Scott took advantage of this distraction and elbowed NegaScott, WHAK, and started to do the Omnistrike from Advent Child, while Ramona, the katana wielder, made random slashes.

NegaScott cried out in pain, POOF, and NegaScott disolved in a puff of black smoke, and Scott had a bit of his memory flash back to him, he was in Ramona's bed with Ramona, they were having a heated arguement, but he couldn't hear what they arguing about
Stop! he commanded, but the memory played on, and at the end when they were facing around from each other Ramona's voice told him, "Scott, I love you..." she said in a apologetic tone,
STOP! he demanded, and it did, but Scott knew it was becauseScott and Ramona landed on the stage, Tmp.
After Shatterband finished their set, people clapped at their performance, which made Stephen Stills happy.
Scott, Kim, Ramona, Roxie and the chinese girl sat down at a table. Scott and Ramona were sitting next to each other, Knives and Roxie were in a intense embrace and Kim was just there. Everybody except Scott was drinking, Scott was munching nachos & Ramona was drinking water.
"Scott, you guys are really getting good." the chinese girl complimented,

Name: Knives Chau

"You really think so?" Scott asked, briting a nacho, Crunch, Knives nodded, "Anyway, what are you doing here?"
"Pilgrim, we're here because of the show." Roxie said as she grabbed the mug, GLUG,
"Yeah, we wanted to see Shatterband's debut." Knives reinforced, kissing Roxie on the cheek,
"Actually..." Scott trailed as he recollected his thoughts, This bad memory thing is getting annoying. he told himself, "It's not our show, it's Doug's, he's Ramona's non-evil ex." he informed everyone,
"Scott, why didn't you mention this to me?" Kim growled angrily, grabbing her mug, Sip,
"I didn't think it was important." Scott stated as he reached for another nacho, Crunch,
"Not important? Remember the last time we had a show with one of Ramona's ex's?" Kim mocked, Scott couldn't think of a response so he grabbed a handful of nachos and ate them, CRUUUNNCH,
"So, Roxie, how's life been?" Ramona asked,
"Oh, it's been okay, but Knives, well... It's been fun, I'll tell you." Roxie politely replied, tightening her hug with Knives
"I've always had to ask, how did you meet?" Scott impolitely butted in, Roxie glared at her,
"Pilgrim, I told you five times!" Roxie snapped,
"But I haven't heard it." Ramona bluntly told Roxie, Roxie loosened her and embrace and looked straight at Ramona, who returned the bloodcurling stare.
A silence loomed over the whole table as all the girls took up their mugs and drank, SIIIIIIIIIPPPPPPP, and they resumed their deathstares, Ramona and Roxie, Kim and Knives for some reason & Scott was just a spectator.
He watched and watched.
Then Roxie sighed a breath of defeat,
"Fine, we met at a party..." Roxie started,

C-C-C-C-CONVERSATION BREAK!

"Whoa. Just whoa." Scott commented, amazed,
"Is that seriously the end of the story?" Kim dryly asked,
"Roxie, you sure know how to pick them." Ramona complimented,
"You know me too well." Roxie replied, smiling,
"Anyway, Knives, what does your dad think about this?" Scott questioned, changing the topic deliberately, I don't think I want to hear Ramona complimenting anyone but me, it's creepy. he reasoned,
"Oh..." Knives paused, "He doesn't know about it." Scott, Kim and Ramona stared at her, as if judging her, she grabbed the mug and took two drinks from it, GLUG GLUG, finishing the mug.
She looked a little tipsy after finishing it, in fact, all the girls did.

The awkward silence was interupted by the guy who announces the bands,
"So,uhhh... Yeah, now we have Super Sonic." he said in the EXACT same tone, Doug walked up and grabbed the microphone,
"People, are you ready to go..." he paused for dramatic effect, "SUPER SONIC!" the crowd replied with cheering and roaring, but Scott was focused on the scene playing out right in front of him,
No way... Scott told himself, gobsmacked.

Holy Crap! This thing is the longest chapter I've ever writen and it took like half of the time it usually does. Anyway, anything on the action scene would be good, because honestly I think it sucks and is a little short. Also, I think I'll be taking a break, school started and I'm just getting too much work, sorry!
