Good news everybody the new chapter is here, and 2 new OCs with it. (Well technically 3 I made one of them by accident but he doesn't play a major role in this story.) If your wondering why this chapter is late it's because I got Call of Duty Modern Warfare 2 for ps3 just after I posted my last chapter and I've already beat it on veteran and got 81% of the trophies if you want my psn name just PM me and I'll tell you and also tell me yours so I'll know who you are. And one more thing (this is very important) if you message me on psn DO NOT mention ANYTHING about fanfiction because my parents and siblings have no idea that I read or write it and I prefer to keep it that way. I've kept this a secret for over two years now and I have my reasons for doing so. I use dual layered encryption on all the chapters saved on my computer to keep my nosy sisters out. I've even set up an alternate email just for this. I know it sounds like I'm paranoid, but trust me it's best if I keep this a secret. Ok that's enough out of me here's chapter 9 I hope you like it.
After a long week of practicing, it was finally time for the battle of the bands. They followed the direction on the flyer which led them to a huge coliseum. The sign on the front said, "Battle of the band tonight" and under that it said, "sold out."
"When did this get here" Spyro wondered?
"They built it while you guys were gone" said Flame.
"It only took them a year to build this thing, that was fast" Nate said still amazed at its size. "That looks like it could seat 100,000 people easy."
"125,000 to be exact" they the guy at the entrance say.
"Wow that's a lot of people" said Spyro.
The guy was a blue dragon, he was a little taller than they were, and he looked around 30 years old. He was also very muscular and looked like he could rip you in half if you pissed him off.
"I'm Vincent the owner of this coliseum are you here to register?"
"Yeah we're here to win that $10,000" Nate said enthusiastically.
The man laughed and said, "Here to win huh, I like your spirit kid."
"Hey my names Nate and I'm not a kid, I'm 18 years old."
"Yeah well I'm 42 so I'm more than twice your age and if your wanting to register my daughters inside she handles all the registrations."
Nate was about to say something when Spyro covered his mouth and said, "Thanks it was nice meeting you."
When they got inside they saw a white dragoness around their age signing a stack of paper.
Spyro walked up to the counter and said, "Hi we're here to register for the show."
She reached underneath the desk and pulled out a registration form, "Just fill out this form and you all need to sign it."
After they all signed the form everyone except Nate left the desk. They got about 30 feet before they realize Nate was still at the desk. When they looked back they saw him talking to the girl at the desk.
"What is he doing" said Cynder.
Spyro laughed, "Knowing him probably terrorizing that poor girl she goes on a date with him."
Cynder laughed as well, "That poor girl."
"Come on lets go get everything ready" said Flame
Meanwhile Nate was doing just as Spyro said and so far all he got was her name, "Yuka".
"Come on please" he begged.
Yuka was starting to get annoyed, "I already told you I'm busy"
"So maybe later then" Nate replied.
She sighed in defeat, "I tell you what if you win, I'll got on a date with you."
Nate's eyes lit up, "Really?"
"Yes really, but only if you win"
"Don't worry I will, see ya later" Nate said as he went to meet up with Spyro.
After he was gone she said, "Thank God he's gone now I can get back to work." Then she realized something, "Wait a minute if he wins then I have to go on date with him, but I seriously doubt that will happen."
When Nate got back backstage Spyro walked up and said, "How did it go?"
"She said she'll go out with me if we win" he said with a smile.
Spyro laughed, "I guess we'll have to win then."
"Hey guys the shows starting" said Cynder.
The audience cheered as they saw the announcer walk out on stage.
The announcer grabbed the mic and said, " Hello everybody and welcome to the 5th annual battle of the bands. Today we have five bands all with the same goal in mind, to win that $10,000 grand prize. This is the first time ever that this has been hosted in Warfang and thanks to this new coliseum we can seat everybody comfortably. Most of you know the rules and for those you don't here they are. Each band must play five songs in the first round and then a group of judges will decide which two bands get to move on to the next round. After that they will play one more song and then you guys get to pick the winner. When it comes time to vote you will use the remote attached to the side of your seat. Once everybody votes, the votes will be tallied and that will decide our winner. Ok so now that you know the rules lets get started shall we. Our first band of the night is...(couldn't think of enough songs or band names and plus I wanted to keep this as short as possible so lets just skip to the good part)"
After about two hours the fourth band was on their final song.
"Wow these guys are good" said Spyro.
"Yeah, but I guess we'll just have to do better" said Nate.
"Looks like they're starting their last song" said Flame.
(Brass Monkey by the Beastie Boys (I really wanted to put this in here but I couldn't have Spyro and them sing it. So I tried it this way.))
Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey Got this dance that's more than real Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey Cause I drink it anytime - and anyplace Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey Step up to the bar - put the girl down Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey
Drink Brass Monkey - here's how you feel
Put your left leg down - your right leg up
Tilt your head back - let's finish the cup
M.C.A. with the bottle - D. rocks the can
Adrock gets nice with Charlie Chan
We're offered Moet - we don't mind Chivas
Wherever we go with bring the Monkey with us
Adrock drinks three - Mike D. is D.
Double R. foots the bill most definitely
I drink Brass Monkey and I rock well
I got a Castle in Brooklyn - that's where I dwell
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey
When it's time to get Ill - I pour it on my face
Monkey tastes Def when you pour it on ice
Come on y'all it's time to get nice
Coolin' by the lockers getting kind of funky
Me and the crew - we're drinking Brass Monkey
This girl walked by - she gave me the eye
I reached in the locker - grabbed the Spanish Fly
I put it with the Monkey - mixed it in the cup
Went over to the girl, "Yo baby, what's up?"
I offered her a sip - the girl she gave me lip
It did begin the stuff wore in and now she's on my tip
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey
She takes a big gulp and slaps it around
Take a sip - you can do it - you get right to it
We had a case in the place and we went right through it
You got a dry Martini - thinking you're cool
I'll take your place at the bar - I smack you off your stool
I'll down a '40 dog" in a single gulp
And if you got beef you'll get beat to a pulp
Monkey and parties and reelin' and rockin'
Def, def - girls, girls - all y'all jockin'
The song and dance keeping you in a trance
If you don't buy my record I got my advance
I drink it - I think it - I see it - I be it
I love Brass Monkey but I won't give D. it
We got the bottle - you got the cup
Come on everybody let's get ffffff
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey
Brass Monkey - that funky Monkey
Brass Monkey - junkie
That funky Monkey
(Song end)
The erupted into cheers as they walked backstage and the announcer came back out.
"For the final performance of this round please give it up for Operation X."
The crowd went wild as everybody walked out on stage and began playing their first song.
(I will not bow by Breaking Benjamin)
Fall! Now The dark begins to rise I Will Not Bow, I Will Not Break Fall! Watch the end through dying eyes I will not bow, I will not break And I'll survive, paranoid You're right! I will not bow, I will not break And I'll survive, paranoid Fall!
Save your breath it's far from over
Leave the lost and dead behind
Now's your chance to run for cover
I don't want to change the world
I just want to leave it colder
Light the fuse and burn it up
Take the path that leads to nowhere
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I Will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
Now the dark is taking over
Show me where forever dies
Take the fall and run to heaven
All is lost again, but I'm not giving in
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away
I will shut the world away
I will not fall, I will not fade
I will take your breath away
I have lost the will to change
And I am not proud, cold blooded, fake
I will shut the world away
(Song End)
Yuka was not having a good day, first her boyfriend dumped her for some unknown reason, then her dad asked her to handle registrations for the show, and to top it all off some annoying red dragon kept trying to her to go out with him when she clearly wasn't in the mood. After hours of constant paperwork Yuka got it all finish and decided to go watch the show. She managed to get out there just in time for the final band. Then she realized that the guitarist was the guy who was bugging the crap out of her earlier. She was really hoping that he didn't notice her, but unfortunately for her, he did.
After they just finish their first song Nate noticed Yuka in the front row. He then walked up to Spyro and whispered something in his ear. Spyro smiled and traded instruments with him and went back to tell the other of what Nate had in mind. Nate point toward Yuka and said, "This next song is for that hot white dragoness in the front row."
(Paralyzer by Finger Eleven(I swear this is the only time I'll ever play the same song twice.))
hold on so nervously Well I'm not paralyzed I hold out for one more drink I'm not paralyzed We'll I'm not paralyzed
To me and my drink
I wish it was cooling me
But so far, has not been good
It's been shitty
And I feel awkward, as I should
This club has got to be
The most pretentious thing
Since I thought you and me
Well I am imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
Before I think
I'm looking too desperately
But so far has not been fun
I should just stay home
If one thing really means one
This club will hopefully
Be closed in three weeks
That would be cool with me
Well I'm still imagining
A dark lit place
Or your place or my place
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
But, I seem to be struck by you
I want to make you move
Because you're standing still
If your body matches
What your eyes can do
You'll probably move right through
Me on my way to you
(Song end)
Nate handed the mic back to Spyro and said, "Thanks for letting me use your song"
"No problem."
Yuka was amazed at how well he could sing and thought to herself, "Maybe he can win this. Maybe a date with him wouldn't be that bad, he seems like a nice guy, just a little annoying."
Spyro handed Nate his guitar back as they prepared for their next song.
(Land of Confusion by Disturbed)
I must have dreamed a thousand dreams Now, did you read the news today? There's too many men, too many people This is the world we live in Oh, superman, where are you now? This is the time, this is the place This is the world we live in I remember long ago I won't be coming home tonight There's too many men, too many people Now, this is the world we live in This is the world we live in
Been haunted by a million screams
But I can hear the marching feet
They're moving into the street
They say the danger has gone away
But I can see the fire's still alight
They're burning into the night
Making too many problems
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
When everything's gone wrong somehow?
The men of steel, I hate these men of power
I'm losing control by the hour
So we look for the future
But there's not much love to go around
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth living in
When the sun was shining
And all the stars were bright all through the night
In the wake of this madness, as I held you tight
So long ago
My generation will put it right
We're not just making promises
That we know we'll never keep
Making too many problems
And there's not much love to go round
Can't you see this is the land of confusion?
And these are the hands we're given
Use them and let's start trying
To make it a place worth fighting for
And these are the names we're given
Stand up and let's start showing
Just where our lives are going to.
(Song end)
After hearing that song the judges were impressed and apparently so was the crowd. Even though they still had two songs left to go the judges were pretty that they had made up their minds.
(Headstrong by Trapt)
Circling your, circling your, circling your head I see your fantasy I see your motives inside Back off, I'll take you on Back off, I'll take you on I can't give everything away Conclusions manifest, your first impression's I see your fantasy I see your motives inside Back off, I'll take you on Back off, I'll take you on Where you belong?

Contemplating everything you ever said

A different motive in your eyes
And now I'm out, see you later
You want to make it a reality paved in gold
See inside, inside of our heads, yeah
Well, now that's over
Decisions to hide
Headstrong to take on anyone
I know that you are wrong
Headstrong, we're headstrong
Headstrong to take on anyone

And this is not where you belong
I won't give everything away
Got to be your very best

This is not were you belong
(I can't give everything away)
This is not were you belong
(I won't give everything away)
This is not were you belong
(Song end)
When they were finished with that song Spyro started talking to the crowd, "It looks like you guys are ready for one more song." The crowd cheer wanting them to play more.
(The Faint of Heart by Coheed and Cambria(Some of you have probably never heard of these guys, but trust me they're awesome.))
With the worries that I'd give her in they told the worst of me Did somebody take your tongue? The anxious through the calming storm, Did somebody take your tongue? You were so well behaved, If the world stops turning girl, But I'm not quite sure what you've been told on labour day... But I'm not quite sure what this unfolds... on labour day... Did somebody take your tongue? Did somebody take your tongue?
My wanting just to hold her head in my arms and feel her breathe.
No I'm not going to give you what you want so if you please
The sin that shapes your voice carries my ears this new disease
In worries of the words that you couldn't say,
That you couldn't save them from.
But I don't want to sleep without.
So I bid to you goodnight,
Tonight sleep tight my love.
You'll sit as you pray for rain.
I'll touch if you ask me to but how is up to you.
No I'm not going to let you get up if you struggle willingly.
I'll savor all your form to show you how and where I bleed.
In worries of the words that you couldn't say,
That you couldn't save them from.
But I don't want to sleep without.
So I bid to you goodnight,
Tonight sleep tight my love.
As you watched and made your way
This kiss for you engraved
This shift and spread your legs
You were so well behaved
You were so well...
Who taught these tricks that make...
You were so well behaved.
You better not stop when I say...
And there ain't nothing you could calm me down.
If the ground starts parting through the silence and the walk of the dead,
Everything here dies alone...
I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart.
I'm not starting with you but the faint of heart.
In worries of the words that you couldn't say,
That you wouldn't save them from.
But I don't want to sleep without.
So I bid to you goodnight,
Tonight sleep tight my love.
In worries of the words that you couldn't say,
That you wouldn't save them from.
But I don't want to sleep without.
So I bid to you goodnight,
Tonight sleep tight my love.
(Song end)
The crowd once again started cheering as the announcer came back out on stage. Spyro handed the mic to announcer and the announcer said, "I need of the bands to come back out on stage."
Once everybody was present the announcer said, "Have the judges made decision yet."
One of the judges stood up and said, "We have, the two finalists are Vergil and the Knights of Darkness, and Operation X."
Cynder froze up at the sound of that name, "It can't be."
Well that's all for this chapter I'll put Yuka's description in my profile soon whenever I get it finished and put Vergil's up after the next chapter. I can't believe I didn't get any song requests for this chapter I mean come on 5 songs that should have been good hint, oh well. I already have the last song set in stone, however I will do an encore song in case anyone wants to make a request. Some of you may have noticed that I changed my pen name to outlaw00000 the reason for is because it sounds better.
Outlaw00000's to do list (I don't know why the hell I put this here)
come up with two new OCs. "check"
write chapter 9 "check"
kick ass on MW2 "double check"
come up with a cool catch phrase "in progress"
