Final chapter: Karaoke night
"Alright guys we going to do this?" Xander asked the rest of the band dressed in their newly picked clothes Roxas was in his usual attire you see him in the beginning of KH2, Axel inCream and red colored shirt and pants still wearing the organization cloak (A/N hey when something looks good why trash it) except with a red and orange flame design around it while Xand was wearing the Organization coat unzipped all the way down with a jagged lookin J on the back (Tidus's logo from FFX) with his Shirt consisting of red and black, his pants were of black leather (Not really tight leather pants just a bit looser as you go down to the cuffs) and Black Combat boots, the others shrugged then axel went up to Xander "Well I thought we could open up with SoM or FLW then open up to karaoke any other ideas?"
Roxas busy tuning his bass he shook his head "As long as you dont make me sing anything overly girly" Xander then glanced at Axel " would a Duet with Namine sing Sanctuary count?" "Depends is it from that badly written RPG you guys were playing this morning (A/N see what did there? :3) is it? I'll do it As long its the opening intro to it cause that was a bad ass song. " "well now thats settled Axel what will you be singing Ring of Fire?" dodging a chakram throw from Axel making sure not to damage to the room or the equipment. "or Life Burns? Burn it down?" "Fuck you and your fire puns xander I was thinking of singing house of wolves what about you have you found a song good enough to convince Xion?" I think so thats why I'm going to go last anyway we'll start with SoM then end it off with FLW now lets get started." Without Saying another word the walked on to the make shift stage about to play there asses off.
Xander Started strumming his guitar in a loud, pulse pounding rhythm and axel and Roxas Joining in on bass and Drums Roxas Following the rhythm Xander was setting and Axel was hit hard with the bass drum. Xander walked up to the mic and started to sing.
"yeah I get it,
you're an outcast
always under attack,
always coming in last
bringing up the back
no one owes you any thing."
"i think you need a shotgun blast,
a kick in the ass
so paranoid
watch you back!"
They each increased intensity of their playing and Axel took a mic and stood up
" oh my here we go!" Xander then continued singing
"another loose cannon gone bipolar,
Slipped down, couldn't get much lower.
Quicksand's got no sense of humor.
I'm still laughing like hell!
You think that by crying to me
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine!"
Then Roxas joined Xander at the mic and Axel putting his own mic on a stand and they started sing together.
"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?"
Then Xander stepped back from the mic and Roxas started sing the next verse.
" I'm so sick of this tombstone mentality,
If there's an afterlife,
Then it'll set you free.
But I'm not gonna part the seas
You're a self-fulfilling prophecy!
You think that crying to me,
Looking so sorry that I'm gonna believe,
You've been infected by a social disease.
Well, then take your medicine!"
They all Started to sing together again
"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?"
Then Xander Stood at the front of the stage a Spotlight on him While he shredded the hell out of his guitar and slowly got fainter and fainter then steeped back having the spot light on axel and sang the chorus on a soft note
"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up...
When you gonna wake up and fight!"
They joined in again louder than ever.
"I created the Sound of Madness.
Wrote the book on pain.
Somehow I'm still here,
To explain,
That the darkest hour never comes in the night.
You can sleep with a gun.
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?
When you gonna wake up and fight... for yourself?"
And they ended and Xander went up to the Mic to talk to the 'crowd' Consisting of Riku, Xion, and Namine, "alright now that the opener is done Riku you're up man." Riku got up from his seat and walked up to the stage as soon he got to the mic Xander started Strumming and axel and Roxas came in suite to cue Riku to start singing
"The secret side of me, I never let you see
I keep it caged but I can't control it
So stay away from me, the beast is ugly
I feel the rage and I just can't hold it
It's scratching on the walls, in the closet, in the halls
It comes awake and I can't control it
Hiding under the bed, in my body, in my head
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?"
Riku too a deep breath for the next part and The three Nobodies sang with him
"I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster"
Riku the continued the next part by himself
"My secret side I keep hid under lock and key
I keep it caged but I can't control it
'Cause if I let him out he'll tear me up, break me down
Why won't somebody come and save me from this, make it end?"
The Three Nobdies then Joined back in for the rest of the song
"I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster"
Xander and Xion Both smiling they know why riku picked this song it basically sums up how he's felt for the last year trying to keep dominance of his body and heart against the dark remnant of Ansem.
"It's hiding in the dark, it's teeth are razor sharp
There's no escape for me, it wants my soul, it wants my heart
No one can hear me scream, maybe it's just a dream
Maybe it's inside of me, stop this monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I hate what I've become, the nightmare's just begun
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I feel it deep within, it's just beneath the skin
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I've gotta lose control, he something radical
I must confess that I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster
I, I feel like a monster!"
Riku then let go of the mic and got off stage smiling triumphantly because he will probably never again have to constantly fight the darkness in his heart.
Xander walking up to the Stand motioning Roxas and Namine to come up " And now we have a lovely Duet of the Mansion's newest upcoming couple." While walking up to the mic Namine grabbed Roxas's hand nervously and blushed while squeezing it hard Roxas Looked at her and smiled "Oh com'n you'll do fine besides I heard you rehearse while you were in the bathroom you sounded pretty good and before you ask I didn't try to see anything." He chuckled while Namine blushed even deeper "besides isn't what we're about to sing about not feeling nervous with the one you care about, and Other things. Lets go I'll start"
Xander then Started the song holding the the beginning note basically telling them to hurry the hell up.
Roxas Stepped up still holding her hand and pulled her in close and started singing
"In you and I there's a new land
Angel's in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
My sanctuary, my sanctuary, yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
What's left of me what's left of me now"
Namine regaining her confindence then took the next verse,
"I watch you fast asleep
All I fear means nothing
In you and I there's a new land
Angels in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
My sanctuary my sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
What's left of me what's left of me"
Then the rhythm got more pulse pounding everybody got caught up in the moment even Xander went down off stage to get Xion Up and out of her chair to kiss her and see her beautiful black and silver dress in the spotlight as Roxas Continued singing the next verse.
"snwod dna spu ynam os
My heart's a battleground
snoitome eurt deen I
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
snoitome eurt deen I
You show me how to see
That nothing is whole and nothing is broken"
then as if unconsciously deciding it they sang the last verse together and was a perfect blend of harmonies.
"In you and I there's a new land
Angel's in flight
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
My sanctuary my sanctuary yeah
Where fears and lies melt away
Music will tie
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I
What's left of me what's left of me now
My fears and lies
Melt away
wonk uoy naht noitceffa erom deen I"
With the song ending Namine got up the last of her courage and kissed Roxas outright on the lips and roxas then returning her kiss basically having a make out section on stage "Alright love birds I'd say get a room but we still have other songs to do Axel you Next?" Axel shrugged " Nah man couldn't decide anything so how bout before we close with FLW how bout you sing that song you got for your love bird and she can sit right here on stage cause I know at the end of it you'll be just like Rocky and Nam over there."
Xander with a grin on his face nodded "Alright com'n Xi I got a special seat for you for this one." Xion then looked at him full of affection " Xan you don't have to prove to me that you love me anymore I already know and I love you to." Xander Completely over the moon but decided to show it after the song and got her to sit down on the VIP chair on Stage "Thank you Xi you have no idea how much it means to me but I have to get this off my chest alright?" Xion smiled and kissed him on the cheekAnd said to him "alright go Ahead I've been looking forward to this all day so you better not disapoint." Xander nodded and got into position and Axel started drumming first then Roxas in on bass and Xander Started singing before Struming
" If you only knew
I'm hanging by a thread
The web I spin for you
If you only knew
I'd sacrifice my beating
Heart before I lose you
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
I swear I've lived and learned"
Xander then looked directly at xion as he sang the chorous
"It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew"
going over to Roxas acting like he's looking for support like it's taking everything he had just to sing this tears starting to form as he continued to sing,
" If you only knew
How many times I counted
All the words that went wrong
If you only knew
How I refuse to let you go,
Even when you're gone
I don't regret any days I
Spent, nights we shared,
Or letters that I sent"
Xion going up to him to support him as he looked at her and sang on
" It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew"
He wanted to kiss so badly and vice versa but the song wasn't over so he carried on
"It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, if you only knew
Xion starting to get tears in her eyes thinking how how much of an idiot she was not seeing how much the transition from being loyal to the organization to well, this being on the run and being hunted by former 'Comrades'
"If you only knew
I still hold onto the letters
You returned
You help me live and learn,"
Then he was completely shocked Xion joined in with him at the last verse singing in the same amount of emotion as he was he just thought 'How lucky a guy I am'
"It's 4:03 and I can't sleep
Without you next to me I
Toss and turn like the sea
If I drown tonight, bring me
Back to life
Breathe your breath in me
The only thing that I still believe
In is you, believe in is you
I still believe in you
Oh, if you only knew"
As the song died done they were both in tears and began to do the exact same thing as Namine and Roxas except WAY more passionately and few little moans . Axel then had to do the only thing he could to break them up when they're like this "Well I basically nailed the end on the head didn't I?"
Xander and Xion completely ignored him except they broke the kiss and said to each other at the exact same time "I love you" Roxas then moving up helping Riku and Namine up to the stage, " well We got one more song and everybody is joining in for theis Xander Care to play us in?" as soon as Xander started Playing all the former Organization members started singing in Unison,
"Now I know that I can't make you stay
But where's your heart?
But where's your heart?
But where's your?"
Namine And riku then sang the the next part,
"And I know there's nothing I could say
To change that part
To change that part
To change"
Xander then Started playing faster as riku sang the next verse alone
"So many bright lights to cast a shadow, but can I speak?
Well, is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A life that's so demanding, I get so weak
A love that's so demanding, I can't speak"
then everybody sang together
"I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home"
Xander Played more intensely while the Girls sang the Next verse
"Can you see my eyes are shining bright?
Cause I'm out here on the other side
Of a jet black hotel mirror and I'm so weak
Is it hard understanding I'm incomplete?
A love that's so demanding I get weak"
Everyone joined again
"I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you could say can stop me going home"
Riku sang Alone Again
"These bright lights have always blinded me
These bright lights have always blinded me
I say"
Xander then Started singing alone
"I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead"
Axel Started Drumming again
"(How can I see, I see you lying)
'Cause I see you lying next to me
(How can I see, I see you lying)
With words I thought I'd never speak
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Awake and unafraid
(How can I see, I see you lying)
Asleep or dead!
'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!"
Everybody sand the Chorus while Xander Contiued
"'Cause I see you lying next to me
With words I thought I'd never speak
Awake and unafraid
Asleep or dead!
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home
(Or dead!)
I am not afraid to keep on living
I am not afraid to walk this world alone
(Or dead!)
Honey if you stay, I'll be forgiven
Nothing you can say can stop me going home"
And with the end of the song and everybody left the room in good moods and high hopes of the next couple years Axel Had his own room, Riku his own room also, and since Namine was 'Scared' of being alone at night asked Roxas to stay with her for the night(no Sex cause just no no no and GOD NO!) while Xion and Xander being the only couple going into the Mansion got to share a room (when Say no sex I'm not going to give details but I might leave ideas to the imagination *wink* what's the difference you ask Roxas and Namine are barely in their late teens while Xander is Seventeen basically an adult and Xion is Sixteen bordering on seventeen cause that's the the ages of their others when they turned heartless See Prologue) "you Know what we could be doing right now instead of sleeping right?" Xion asked as she wrapped her arms around Xander's hips then he looked at her " you serious or are you Just fucking with me?" Xion then began undressed herself and Said "Do I look serious enough to you?"
Axel's room
Axel while reading up on Keyblades their wielders and how they're Chosen considering his other might another one of the chosen few to wield it heard something he never wanted to hear, "OH GOD XANDER YESS" Axel then Cringed and put on his head phones and turned the music up to high "That's a sound I definitely don't ever want to memorize" while continuing to read his book.
Riku's Room
Riku hearing the Same thing also cringing Trying to find some way to drown out the noise "I swear if it's going to be like this with Sora and Kairi," he then continued to mumble while finding conveniently some noise canceling head phones
Namine's Room
Roxas and Namine hearing this same sound looking at each other for a minute Namine then smiled as she was drawing something in her sketchbook at Roxas saying "don't even think about it first night together remember? We'll just cuddle." Roxas then rolled his eyes "I wasn't in fact I was thinking you were thinking about it since your having me pose nude for a drawing."
And so our Story end's with our Nobodies but they will return in the sequel but before then a Prequel for Andre And Sarah Back story and the world they Came from I threw in a few hints in the story in case you were wondering.
