Authors Note/Disclaimer: I don't own WA 3, or the songs Raise A Little Hell by Trooper and Mama by Genesis.

Hmmm....all I can think of to say it, Teefa85, you may want to break out the Genesis CDs again. ^_^

Chapter 7- Raise A Little Hell

Von checked his watch as he retrieved the box from where he'd set it down. Turning to regard the crowd once more, he made the announcement they knew was coming. "It looks like we've got time today for two more songs. Let's see who the singers of those songs will be!" Drawing another scrap of paper, he read it aloud. "The Prophets!"

Clive held his hand out to stop Virginia before she could stand and draw her pistols. She sat down again, grumbling. "Yeah, yeah. They're only here to sing. I know."

Melody, Leehalt and Malik swept up onto the stage and took the microphones offered by Von as the music cued up.

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

If you don't like

What you got

Why don't you change it

If your world is all screwed up

Rearrange it

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

If you don't like what you see

Why don't you fight it

If you know there's something wrong

Why don't you right it

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

In the end it comes down to your thinking

And there's really nobody to blame

When it feels like your ship is sinking

And you're too tired to play the game

Nobody's going to help you

You've just got to stand up alone

And dig in your heels

And see how it feels

To raise a little Hell of your own

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

If you don't like

What you got

Why don't you change it

If your world is all screwed up

Rearrange it

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell, raise a little Hell

Virginia blinked, somewhat stunned as the three left the stage. "I...never though I'd ever see Leehalt head bang..."

The others didn't reply, nodding silently.

"It's too bad they decided to become villains, isn't it? They could have had a great career as a band," smiled Catherine. Even though it was true that the three prophets were good singers, Virginia, Gallows, Clive and Jet still turned to stare at her in horror. She continued to smile.

They almost missed Von announcing the next singer. "Malik Benedict," he said, "you're today's last singer!"

Malik was just sitting down when the call was made. He shrugged, smiling, and headed back up onto the stage. He accepted the mircophone once more and began to sing as the music started.

I can't see you mama

but I know you're always there

ooh to touch and to feel you mama

oh I just can't keep away

it's the heat and the steam of the city

oh its got me running and I just can't brake

so say you'll help me mama

cos its getting so hard

Now I can't keep you mama

but I know you're always there

you listen, you teach me mama

and I know inside you care

so get down, down here beside me

oh you ain't going nowhere

no I won't hurt you mama

but its getting so hard

Can't you see me mama

mama mama mama please

can't you feel my heart

can't you feel my heart

can't you feel my heart ooh

listen to me mama

mama mama

you're taking away any last chances

don't take it away

can't you feel my heart?..

It's hot, too hot for me mama

but I can't hardly wait

my eyes they're burning mama

make the pain, make it go away

no I won't hurt you mama

but its getting so hard

Now I can't see you mama

but I know you're always there

you taunt, you tease me mama

but I never never can keep away

it's the heat and the steam of the city

The resulting silence was broken as Gallows jumped up from his seat and charged the stage, his ARM drawn and ready. Jet tried to grab him as he ran by, but he missed.

"You sick bastard!" screamed Gallows, and he proceeded to chase Malik off the stage, firing continuously at the slickster's fleeing form. Gallows' teammates sweatdropped as Von took the stage once more.

"Well...uh, that concludes today's events. Hope to see you bright and early tomorrow as we kick off the final day of the First Annual Little Rock Karaoke Festival!"
