After they had had their lunch, the girls went around the streets of town. Misao was looking around to get ideas for gifts for her parents while on the visit to Birmingham, but Patricia began insisting that she held out until they actually got there! "Oh..." said Misao "Guess ya' right there" and then Tsuraya pulled up next to her. "YO Misao!" she said loudly "Look, that's your favourite album there!" and she pointed to a poster of Nirvana's Nevermind, this was released back in 1991. "Kewl" chirped Misao "That is the best album ever!"

Patricia interrupted "Misao" she asked "You said you were a fan of Slade as well, hence we are going to Birmingham, ya might wanna get that Slade spirit on! Uncle Brum was a fan of them in his High School years"

Misao lit up "Oh yeah!" she giggled "Slade! We'll do a bit of that when we get back, and a bit of Twisted Sister! Ya know, circa Stay Hungry!" Misao grinned. She wanted to Rock after All!

Minami added in "What about Black Sabbath?" Misao lit up even more but Patricia calmed her down. "I'd say we do Sabbath actually in Birmingham, ya know, good idea Minami"

Minami sniggered to herself quitetly "I knew it would be a good idea, well..." but then Tsuraya heckled them "Is there gonna be any pot to smoke if that's the case" Patricia turned back sharply at Tsuraya. "You can get arrested for possession of drugs over there!" she snapped firmly "He does not possess any!" Tsuraya sunk "Sorry" she said "It was a joke" Patricia was still cross "That was beyond a joke!" she said crossly "We don't do that! Do we?!" Tsuraya kept quiet.

"I saw some asshole from Handsworth get busted by the cops for possession of illegal drugs" Patricia fumed crossly to Misao "Why the fuck she blurt it out...I was actually witnessing the arrest of the asshole!" Misao looked at Patricia "Patty, Tsuraya was joking" she said "Don't take what she said seriously" But Patricia was still stewed up about it.

But Konata however had only half heard it all, she had heard about Black Sabbath and was chuntering on about it more. "Deeeeeoooooooooowwww...I AM IRON MAN!" she said pretending she was Ozzy Osbourne, and began humming the tune Iron Man to herself. "#Daaaa...daaa... .da...dananana.. . ...!#" Then the lyrics kicked in Konata's head.

"#Has he lost his mind? Can he see or is he blind? Can he walk at all, or if he moves will he fall?#" but then her phone went off. It was Tsukasa.

"Hey Kona-chan" said Tsukasa over the phone "I apologize for Onee-Chan's behaviour, I did not want your day with Misao and all to be heckled" But Konata replied "It's okay Tsukasa, but I kinda wondered why she wanted to tape my bum shut?" Tsukasa laughed and replied "She only says it when she is very irate, she's said it to me, anyway, how is it going?" Konata explained about it all and Misao and Patricia talking about rock bands of the West Midlands "Yeah" giggled Tsukasa "You think you are Iron Man?! Whoa...what does science have to say?" Konata laughed "I need to find a magnetic field!" Tsukasa noted that and hung up.

Konata paused. "Metal" she chuckled. Patricia walked up behind her and whispered the words of Tenacious D "You can't kill the metal, the metal will live on" Konata's eyes lit up at it! They would have a laugh about it when they got back to Misao's place. Misao would find more of her brother's deodorant first before they did more rock n metal jokes.

Minami and Yutaka did not say much more as they were knocked off by all these metal jokes.

Meanwhile however, Kagami was sitting down drinking tea with Miyuki. Kagami was still cross with them from earlier in the morning. "What these arseclowns doing Miyuki?" she moaned to her "Misao had her guitar too loud, the neighbours would be pissed at her" But Miyuki has other ideas. "You see" she said to Kagami "It's The Metal"

"What?!" snarled Kagami "What is The Metal?! Are you trying to arse me?!" But then Miyuki spoke Jack Black's words of wisdom from Tenacious D.

"You can't kill the metal,
The metal will live on.
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal,
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground.
New-wave tried to kill the metal,
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground.
Grunge tried to kill the metal, Ha ha ha ha ha ha,
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground!"

Kagami could not believe her ears, Miyuki was implying that she could not stop Misao from getting her ways and the Metal was unstoppable. "Miyuki?! Are you fucking berserk?!" Kagami Snarled, she was clearly unimpressed. But Miyuki was not finished there, she carried on.

"No-one can destroy the metal,
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow.
We are the vanquished foes of the metal,
We tried to win for why we do not know"

Kagami was starting to flare up in temper as Miyuki kept explaining it all.

"New-wave tried to destroy the metal, but the metal had its way!
Grunge then tried to dethrone the metal, but metal was in the way!
Punk-rock tried to destroy the metal, but metal was much too strong!
Techno tried to defile the metal, but techno was proven wrong!
Yea!"

"Metal!
It comes from hell!"

"I DO NOT FUCKING BELIEVE MY FUCKING EARS!" screamed Kagami "I NEVER HEARD MIYUKI-SAN SPEW OUT SUCH SHIT FROM HER MOUTH!"

"It is true" replied Miyuki "You cannot stop The Metal, it lives on, whatever"

"GOD FUCKING DAMMIT!" shrieked Kagami and stomped off in a huff. Miyuki gave a satisfied smirk on her face and cleaned the dirt from off her glasses. "It is true" she chortled to herself "You cannot destroy the metal, it lives on for eternity" Then she finished her tea and got up sniggering. "Metal" she giggled "You cannot stop it-Tenacious D forever"

Back at Misao's place, Misao was getting herself spruced up again while everybody was waiting in the garden in the warm afternoon sun. Konata was talking to Patricia about The Metal. "You cannot kill the metal" they said together "Metal will live on" They did not know that Miyuki had said that to Kagami. But then Konata's phone rang and it was from Kagami. "Oh" giggled Konata "I'd better not put my ear on the speaker" and she answered it. She also called for Misao to come down but Misao had gone to the toilet and could not hear. But then she slipped on a puddle of her own urine where she unfortunately missed somehow. "OUCH!" yelped Misao as she fell on the ground "MY FUCKING LEG! Ouch!" Then she slowly got up and saw where she slipped on her own urine. "How the hell did that happen?!" she gasped. She grabbed her guitar and went down.

Meanwhile. Kagami yelled down the phone and the speaker buzzed almost incomprehensibly. "HEY LISTEN TO THIS!" giggled Konata as Misao came down to the guitar with grunge attire and Fender Jazzmaster in hand and a sore leg where she heard Kagami's incomprehensible ranting and raving. "Is she having another tantrum?" she asked to Konata. Minami asked Misao what was that noise she made. "Misao, what happened?"

"I slipped on my own pee" grunted Misao "I missed the toilet somehow and I slipped there and hurt my left leg" Misao was visibly exasperated. But for now, they focused on Kagami ranting at them over the phone. Patricia laughed. "You can't kill the Metal" she said. "Misao! Hook your amp up and play the riff to the Metal!" Misao knew the riff of The Metal and she hooked up her little pocket amplifier and handed it to Patricia. "My leg still hurts" she grunted but then she played the riff to The Metal.

Konata put on her best imitation of Jack Black and spoke the words of wisdom that Miyuki had spoke to Kagami earlier.

"You can't kill the metal,
The metal will live on.
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal,
But they failed, as they were smite to the ground.
New-wave tried to kill the metal,
But they failed, as they were stricken down to the ground.
Grunge tried to kill the metal, Ha, ha,ha ha ha ha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground!"

Kagami was even more annoyed now. "THIS SHIT THAT MIYUKI WAS SAYING TO ME!" she yelled "FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK! SHUT UP NOW!" and she had a profanity filled rant at them until she angrily hung up on them.

The girls laughed. "What is she so angry about" giggled Yutaka "She does not underestimate the power of the Metal!" Minami agreed "No one can stop the metal" she said darkly.

"Misakichi?" asked Konata "Why are you complaining about your leg?" Misao duly replied and explained it all. "I slipped on my own pee when I went to the toilet" she replied "I somehow missed and then I slipped and hurt my left leg!" The girls started at Misao. Misao stared at then.

"I am not a futanari!" she snapped firmly "So stop staring me like that!"

The girls backed off. Misao was all red in embarrassment. "Jesus Christ" she grunted "Why all you suddenly think I am a Futanari because I missed on the toilet, come on!"

"No no no no!" replied Konata hastily "We never suspected that for a second, I don't know what made you think that we were thinking you were a futa" Misao looked at Konata blandly.

"You've watched too much Hentai Misakichi" she said "You've come across Futas while looking at Hentai" Misao cringed. "Chibikko!" she cried "Stop it...please..." and she shielded her face with the headstock of her guitar.

Tsuraya look at a beet red faced Misao "I never though you were one of them 'futas' for a split seconds" she said "What are they anyway"

"It's better if you don't know" replied the girls to her "It is honestly disgusting"

"Can we change the subject please" said Minami "Misao, can you do the metal!"

Misao grinned and got ready to play The Metal. Tsuraya giggled "YOU CAN'T STOP THE METAL NOW! EVERYONE! LETS ROCK" and she did the sign of the horns with her right hand.

Misao got ready and played the riff to The Metal with the tone as powerful as her Jazzmaster pickups would let her. Then Konata spoke the words of wisdom.

"You can't kill the metal,
The metal will live on.
Punk-Rock tried to kill the metal..."

Authors notes:

No, Misao is NOT a futanari, I do not know how she missed the toilet.

You need to listen to The Metal by Tenacious D to get the gist of this chapter.

Slade and Black Sabbath both came from the West Midlands, though Slade was from Wolverhampton.

Misao is also a fan of Twisted Sister's Stay Hungry album from 1984, that contains the classics "I wanna rock" and "We're not gonna take it"
