Blazerules34: I'm very excited for the next few chapters. And for all of those who like Hollywood Undead, it pains me to put Danny in a bad name. I love their band, and I saw them on tour in 2011 with Black Veil Brides, Asking Alexandria, and Avenged Sevenfold when they came near our town here in Florida. Of course, I completely forgot who the hell Avenged Sevenfold was until I heard them, because I'm stupid sometimes.
Ok, enough of me blabbering. To the story!
Maka: Why haven't we been talking here lately?
Soul: Yeah, seriously?
Blazerules34: Maka, I have no idea, and Soul, you just lost cool points. Mwahaha! Oh, and I will now include ages
Maka: 18
Patti: 18
Tsubaki: 18
Liz: 20
Soul: 18
Blackstar: 18
Kid: 19
Crona: 18
All I did for a few days was lie in my bed, take care of my hygiene and stuff, and cry. I'm sorry to all of those people who think I'm stupid, but when you date someone for two years you kind of get attached. Soul's band was traveling with us, but I was so depressed I didn't really care.
I made a new song during those days as we made our way to our next concert. I was very satisfied with it. When I was feeling up to it, I showed everyone their lines and notes and we practiced them. Everyone agreed it was a good song. Well, we practiced while Soul and his buddies were on their bus, giving me space.
Where are we going? Well, all of us, Tsubaki, Patti, Liz, and I grew up there. Even Miss Marie, our manager grew up there. We wanted to go back there for a little break or something. My papa was there, but I don't really care much for him. My mama was somewhere out in the world, exploring. I haven't seen her since I was fourteen. The cities name is Death City.
"Hey, Maka, you alright? "Liz asked me as we went to go eat at another diner. "No, my eyes hurt, the suns way to bright, and my back hurts. "I grumbled. "Well, that's what's to be expected after…"Liz trailed off as I glared at her. "Maaaaakaaaa-chan, your sloooooow! "Patti complained as I pretty much fell into my chair.
"I'm saving my energy for the concert. "I mumbled as slowly as I dared, rubbing my eyes. "Oh, well that's a good reason. "Tsubaki said, yawning a bit. "Whoa, she lives. "Soul said as he sat down across from me. "Shut up, I'm not eating anything. "I groaned from my chair. "Maka you haven't eaten anything since that 'incident'. Please just try to eat something. "Tsubaki pleaded, while the boys gave me sympathetic glances. "No, I'm saving my energy. Eating takes a lot of energy from me. "I muttered. Suddenly, my phone rang with Danny's ring tone and his voice.
"We don't apologize
And that's just the way it is
But we can harmonize
Even if we sound like shit"
I blushed a little, but was to slow to stop it.
"Don't try to criticize
You bitches better plead the fifth
We've been idolized
Role models for all the kids"
I managed to stop it before it came to Charlie Scene's part, and I was lucky like that.
"H-Hello? "
"Maka, are you still using those songs for the concert tonight?"
"Yes, Danny I am "I spoke through my teeth.
"Yo, Charlie, come here, I can't do this. "I heard Danny call out.
"Coward. "I spit through my teeth, my voice filled with venom.
"Yo, Maka, what's happening? "Charlie Scene's voice said, and I immediately calmed. Yes, he has that kind of power.
"Hi Charlie, where are you guys? "I asked, actually smiling a bit through my misery.
"Oh, it's Charlie Scene from Hollywood Undead. He and Maka became friends after Danny and Maka started dating. Actually, Maka became friends with everyone in the band after that. "Liz explained and I glared at her.
"Oh, we are in the Great Lakes of the U.S.A. No, wait, we aren't in them, nearby them. Can you guess where we are? "He asked, teasing me.
"Texas? "I asked, and Charlie started laughing. I grinned. "No, I know you guys are in Michigan. I was just pretending to be blond for a moment. "I explained.
"I thought you were blond. "Charlie laughed.
"Shut up! "I replied back. "So how's J-Dog, Funny Man, Da Kurlz, and Johnny 3 Tears? "I asked, and we chatted for a few more minutes.
"Remember, Maka, Danny didn't mean it like he said on T.V. He was nervous. Oh, and we will be watching your concert tonight. "Charlie said, and we hung up.
"Well, at least she laughed a bit. "Kid shrugged. "Shut up, Kid! "I growled at him. "You know, I think I will eat a sandwich. "I added thoughtfully. Soul started laughing.
After I banged Blackstar on the head a few times, he shut up, we all ate and left.
~Entering Death City~
I ran up to the window as soon as I heard Josh call out that we were entering. I looked up, pressed against the window as I was squished by Liz, Patti, Tsubaki, Crona, Blackstar, Kid, and Soul. I mean, ouch! I looked up at the laughing sun, smiling when it bounced.
The DMWA castle/school loomed up in front of me. Suddenly, an image came into my head. A white haired boy and I walking around talking and-wait. White haired? The boy in my memory also had crimson eyes.
"Hey, Soul, did you live here when you were younger? "I asked, my voice sounding a lot better than I thought it would.
"Yeah, we were friends back then. Then we went our separate ways and didn't keep in touch. I was just waiting for you to realize it yourself. "Soul said his voice quiet.
"Oh" was all I had to say to that.
~Right before the Concert~
Soul's band wasn't going to be in this concert. This was our concert. So screw them. Besides, this was going to be a rather interesting concert. It didn't make me feel any better that many people were watching outside, and watching on T.V. My papa was going to be here somewhere, but I know my mama's not going to be here.
I was wearing a short, black, skirt that had fake diamonds on it and is ruffled. I was also wearing a 'Death City' shirt. My hair was left down, but we had put a temporary black highlight in it. My face had been splashed in a bucket of glitter, and everyone else had their faces glittered as well. I had blue makeup on, but my lips had black lipstick.
Liz and Patti were wearing their normal outfit with a 'Death City' shirt, and Tsubaki was wearing another 'Death City' shirt and jeans. Liz and Patti weren't wearing any makeup besides the glitter, and Tsubaki was matching me. We set up and waited.
I could see all of my old friends in the crowd. Kilik, Pot of Fire, Pot of Thunder, Jackie, and others. They had decided to stay here, and work where they had grown up. Have I mentioned that I haven't been home since I was 15? Well, I did now. Our tour 'Girls Have the Power' has just started, but we had to make songs.
The lights dimmed. We all took our position, me sitting on the catwalk inches from Kim and Jackie, though they didn't know. Tsubaki hit her drums once and Patti and Liz struck a note. The lights came back on; the camera's focusing on me. I heard Kim squeal and Jackie laugh with delight. I waved at them and then stood up.
I walked back up to where Liz was, and leaned on her. She grinned at me, and I grinned back. "You know, I got to tell you Liz, it sure is good to be home. "I said, my ear piece/microphone thing resonating my voice out. "It sure is. "Liz agreed.
"So, are you guys ready for some music? "I called out, and everyone went wild. I could see Soul's band. "MAKA, PAPA LOVES YOU! "A voice said, and I visibly shrank back. A red-haired man named Spirit came running to the stage. "Crap, Liz hide me please. "I muttered, ignoring all of the people laughing. I grabbed a guitar and swung. "Home run! "I cheered as he flew back to his seat, unconscious. "Everyone clap if they want to know where she gets her guitars from. "Soul said into his microphone. "Shut it Soul, before I have Patti stuff an origami giraffe down your throat. "I threatened, and he sat down laughing.
"Ok, let's do this thing! This song kind of reminds me of this place, but, um, it's not as filthy as the song. Let's go! "I cheered. (Italics: Liz and Maka Normal: Maka Bold: The whole band including Maka)
"Welcome to a city that
Will bring you to your knees
It'll make you beg for more
Till you can't even breathe"
I walked over to Liz again and we sang together, and then I clutched my throat as male dancers came forward.
"Your blindfold is on tight
But you like what you see
So follow me into the night
Cause I got just what you want"
The male dancers covered my eyes and spun me between themselves and I ripped their hands off and walked around to the catwalk waving my hips. I then sat down on the edge of the cat walk swinging my feet inches from Soul's face.
"We're all rollin' down
The boulevard full of pimps and sharks
It's a mother fuckin' riot we've
Been dying to start
You better grab a hold
Cause you know your falling apart"
I flipped myself onto my feet kicked out and went back to Liz and Patti.
"You thought these streets
Were paved in gold
But they're dirty and dark!"
I stalked back forward gesturing to the ground still moving my hips seductively.
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you fell!
Can't hold yourself together
Soul to sell
Down here you live forever
Welcome to the world where dreams become nightmares!"
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you feel!
Can't hold yourself together
Soul to sell
Down here you live forever
Welcome to the world where dreams become nightmares!
"Welcome!
Welcome!"
I especially loved the words 'soul to sell' because it painted a picture of me selling a certain white-haired boy. I gestured to the laughing moon when the last lyric came around, and Liz and I began again.
"In the belly of the beast
I'm a wolf amongst the sheep
At the bottom of the hill
But at the top of the street
Above the boulevard, schoolyard
Victim of deceit"
The male dancers (I gotta give these guys names) shoved me down at 'bottom of the hill' and lifted me up at 'top of the street'. I was really enjoying everyone's faces, especially Soul's. Wait, why am I enjoying his face?
"And you're running hard
But this wolf is always at your feet
And you've seen it all before
But this wolf's outside your door"
I ran around the stage and then pretended to knock at a door.
"And you're old enough to run
You ain't hiding anymore
Another victim of the star
Spangled banner of the street
Now you're in the world of the wolves
And we welcome all you sheep!"
At the last lyric I pointed at the crowd. And I shook my head and looked hungry.
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you fell!
Can't hold yourself together!
Soul to sell!
Down here you live forever!
Welcome to the world where dreams become nightmares!"
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you fell!
Can't hold yourself together!
Soul to sell!
Down here you live forever!
Welcome to the world where dreams become nightmares"
I almost laughed for some reason.
"Welcome!
Welcome!"
"You need to wake up and face it
So you can taste my reality
Now you're stuck in this
Place you hate and you
Came here so happily"
"Then it made you lose your faith
And that's what fucked with your sanity
Say goodbye to your soul
And say hello to your vanity"
Hollywood is your friend
And the Undead are your family
We'll take you to the edge
And turn your regret into agony
And I'll never let you go
Cause I know you'll come back to me"
"I'm the reason you came here
I'm the AMERICAN TRADGEDY!"
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you fell!
Can't hold yourself together!
Soul to sell!
Down here you live forever!
Welcome to the world where dreams became nightmares!"
"Been to hell!
I can show you the devil!
Down you fell!
Can't hold yourself together!
Soul to sell!
Down here you live forever!
Welcome to the world where dreams became nightmares!"
"Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome!
Welcome to a world where dreams become nightmares!
"Welcome!"
We finished and I bowed with a cocky grin on my face. "I will be right back, you guys! "I waved and headed backstage, laughing. Deadly Night won't know what hit them!
