A/N: This is not another installment, merely an ending theme for book one. The next part will be the intro theme of book two. Then, I will start book two truly.

Welcome to my basement. Now that my house has been rebuilt, I can now get some stuff done.
In chairs, I have the fiance brigade tied up. This would be the final huzzah of my little adventure. At least, for THIS adventure. Heh heh. You know me, I HAVE to have more adventures.
I take up my weapon of choice, the guitar. I nod to Shadow on backup guitar, and, to Chaos on drums, I blow her a kiss. She blows one back to me and I smiled.
And now...
"I'm everything you know
You wonder friend of foe
I'm the burning in your throat when you swallow
But you spit me out
Your stomach full of doubt
And still you're faking every word out of your mouth
But you won't let go
It's all about control
Understand I'm born to lead you will follow
I don't wanna stay
I'm running away
Don't you hear me when i say"
I strummed out the tunes on my guitar, with Sonic following up with some of his own tunes, and Chaos banging away on her drums. Seeing my chosen girl must have been like torture to the fiances. Good.
"Goodbye...so long...nice try...I'm gone
You don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget the way you made me feel
I won't regret running away from here
So I'll say goodbye again"
As the fiance brigad struggled against their bonds, I could only smile at their futile attempts. I just continued strumming on my guitar, using this moment to sing my final goodbye to them.
"Now it's there to see
You've forgotten me
Ever since I was the prince among the theives
So you hold me down
Strip away my crown
Can't contain me knowing all the truth I found
Always thinking small
Helping me to fall
Now you're jealousy and hate consumes us all
I don't wanna stay
I'm running away
Don't you hear me when i say"
My heart jumped into my throat as I kept singing, feeling the presences around me even as I focused on my guitar. And I could feel the happy aura around my loved one, and I felt content. That, and satisfied. Satisfied for the fact the fiance brigade were getting the picture of my song.
"Goodbye...so long...nice try...I'm gone
You don't like being second
I don't like being wrong
I won't forget the way you made me feel
You think you see the world well you see nothing
Time is only gonna make it worse in the end
I won't regret running away from here
So I'll say goodbye again"
I rang out with a solo, holding onto the beat alone as I played like a madman. I was soon accompanied by the occasional beats of the drums.
"Don't hit me with your fears
I won't fit with your ideas
You missed what I'm about
I earned my way out
And in the end
I'll say goodbye again"
Another patch of notes without lyrics, as I played, I felt the rage inside of the song. I could feel the depression, and yet... I could feel the hope for the future. Hope with my chosen girlfriend, Chaos.
"I won't forget the way you made me feel
I won't regret running away from here
I won't forget the way you made me feel
I won't regret... So I say goodbye again"
I immediately went into the ending stretch, myself and the others going crazy on our instruments.
"Goodbye...so long...nice try...
So I'll say goodbye again
Goodbye...so long...nice try...
So I'll say goodbye again
Goodbye...so long...nice try...
So I'll say goodbye again
Goodbye...so long...nice try...
So I'll say goodbye again"
Several more notes and lines, and I ended the song. I could see the tears on the fiance brigade's faces, and figured they all got the punch line. And Kami-sama help them if they try to attack me ever again. And that does extend to Chaos and the others too.
Oh yes, Kami-sama help them...
