Hey, guys! I after the longish chapter that I posted as the last one, I think I might need to make it clear that this is not going to be that long. It will be the normal 4 pages that I normally do for these stories. So, with that being said, I have 1 questions to answer!
Question from Guest: Wow I guess Ash can now use aura. That's impressive, plus it was mentioned in the anime that Ash has the strongest amount of aura as Sir Aaron has. Thanks for replying to my question, but are you going to make a sequel for this fanfic?
The answer to Guest: No. I'm not planning to make a sequel, but I might make one if it gets requested a lot.
So anyway, let's get straight into it!
"I'm so excited!" Bonnie squealed as they walked towards the auditorium.
"Me too!" Misty exclaimed, sharing Bonnie's enthusiasm.
The group reached the entrance to the auditorium, which is where the group had to part ways, as the entrance to backstage was out in the hallway.
"Well, we'll see you guys later I guess," Ash told the group who nodded
"I can't wait to see you guys sing! I just know you'll be great!" Iris said to Ash, Serena, Dawn, and Gary
"Thanks, guys" Dawn thanked the rest of the group before they went their separate ways. Ash and other 3 to the into the backstage area, and the others into the auditorium itself.
"Greetings, students and teachers alike! Welcome to the school performances before the holidays! We have about 30 students performing, which will take place over these last three lessons before the holidays! So without further or do, let's get this started with our first performer, Michael!" Professor Sycamore announced to the whole school who cheered and clapped as a boy called Michael came onto the stage from behind massive red curtains, which separated backstage from the stage.
Michael started singing a song, and after about 3 minutes, he left the stage and went behind the curtains, back to backstage before the next performer came out and sung. This continued until the 9th performer had finished singing, then Gary was called out to perform.
"Good luck Gary," Dawn said to Gary who nodded and walked out from behind the curtains.
The crowd cheered as Gary walked out onto the stage, but he did something that no one else did…
"Hello everybody!" Gary exclaimed after he reached the microphone, to which the crowd cheered a bit. "This so isn't really a proper song, but it's a video game fan made song" Gary explained to which the crowd cheered at the different type of song. It was a breath of fresh air for them all. "This is a fan-made song for the game Assassin's Creed Syndicate," Gary told the crowd who cheered, clearly familiar with the game
Gary pulled out his phone, linked it to the speakers, and started playing the music.
The music started and people were hyped for the song to start.
Gary looked at the crowd and started to sing.
"Born into Revolution, an industrial one. But I would not call me lucky, coming up from the slums. Nobody's wondering why I hardly trust anyone, cause if you're free from corruption, then you must be a nun! You've got an army of thugs? Then let me bloody em up. Don't lay a hand on my coat unless you wanna be cut! I'll pummel you with brass knuckles, leave you ugly as fuck! Then wipe the blood off my gauntlet, and act like nothing is up! Because I'm keeping up appearances within my Syndicate. If you're polluting' my community, I'm catching' wind of it! I'm making history, with every single day I'm living it! I'll leave a bigger footprint than frickin' Charles Dickens did! Cause my name is as famous as David Copperfield is. Child labor's popular, my god that's awful for kids! I'm trying to stop these hard times from getting harder than this, and I still got great expectations, now that's an Oliver Twist! HA! Keep your children outta factories. You can haul your own coal, saw your own tapestries. If you're living lavishly, that'll end in tragedy. I'll knock you off your balcony, and leave the rest to gravity! Here's my manifesto, It's practically a rhapsody. Who'da knew beneath this classy jacket I'd be packing heat? I'm a fashion masterpiece, sent by the Assassin's Creed! If you're an aristocrat, now's the time to flatter me!"
"That dude is fly, with that suit and tie, he don't mess around. She's by his side, nowhere to hide, when they come to town! There's Assassin in their veins, every Templar will be slain. A time to live, a time to fight... Now it's your time to die!"
"Leave it to me and Evie to keep these streets clean…Haha! That ain't gonna be easy, no, UH!"
"The name's Jacob Frye, If you can't wait to die. Inside my cane I hide a blade with which I take your life! I'm taking over Devil's Acre with this gang of mine, drinking bitter, we prefer it to the taste of wine! When we got a problem, we assassinate the guy, pick your pocket, take you hostage, any way to make it by. Take your eyes off my sister, man, she ain't your wife! But she may slice you wide open with a table knife! Call us crooks, soon enough we'll make you change your mind. Join the Rooks if you love it when the stakes are high! I've climbed higher steeples, I've scaled bigger Bens. Don't believe me? Take a swim in the River Thames!"
"That dude is fly, with that suit and tie, he don't mess around. She's by his side, nowhere to hide, when they come to town! Send corruption to it's grave, hidden blades decide your fate! You'll pay the price for your life of crime! When it's your time to die!"
"Welcome to London, city of the paupers. Don't think you're safe cause you were brought up prim and proper! You really oughta watch your… Back, you got a stalker! Six-shot revolver, let's see who can draw first. But if you draw last, you're gonna drop fast. I'll pull my hood down and throw on my top hat. Quit with the kukri. don't make me prove my skill, I'll take these orphans out the textile and put you through the mill! As long as I complete my mission, doesn't matter who I kill, bet your ass Jack the Ripper's got some massive shoes to fill! Knock me off the tracks, I'll come back with direction, nowhere to run and you have no protection. You can thank Darwin; Natural Selection…"
"That dude is fly, with that suit and tie. He don't mess around! She's by his side, nowhere to hide, when they come to town. Cause there's Assassin in their veins, trust in them, they'll take the reigns. When your injustice comes to light… It's your time to die!"
I just have to say here, shoutout to Jt Machinima on YouTube. I'm sure that you already know who he is, but if you don't, he makes fan-made video game songs, like the one that Gary performed. I actually took the lyrics and used them for this, so that's why I'm talking about him right now. Thanks Jt!
Gary finished his song and the crowd cheered loudly. Gary bowed and walked back to backstage and sat down next to Ash again
"Dude! That was awesome!" Ash exclaimed to Gary who nodded.
"Pretty sweet huh? I wanted to do something completely different from everyone else, so I decided that games was the way to go. I searched for about 5 minutes and found that" Gary told Ash who nodded.
After about 5 minutes and another song, the bell went, signifying that it was lunchtime.
Ash, Serena, Gary, and Dawn walked out of backstage from the door that they entered from and was greeted by the rest of the group waiting for them.
"Wow Gary! That was awesome!" Clemont said to Gary who nodded and explained what he told Ash to the others as well
"I wish I came up with an idea like that" Dawn commented to which the group laughed a bit
"Honestly, Dawn. It isn't the idea that comes first. It's your ability to actually sing the song. Lyrics come after that, then theme, then other things" Ash told her to which she nodded before they all headed off to get lunch, which was pretty hard seeing as most of the people on the way there had decided to comment on how well Gary did with the song.
They eventually made it to the cafeteria, received lunch, ate their lunches, hung out for a bit, before the bell went and everyone went back into the auditorium.
Gary decided to with the rest of the group to the crowd as he had already performed, so there would be no need for him to go backstage. An idea that the other people who had already performed shared.
"Alright, bye guys!" Ash said with a half hearted wave before he, Serena and Dawn went through the door to backstage, which now housed 10 less people than it did before.
Ash, Serena, and Dawn sat down next to each other and waited. After about 6 people had performed, Dawn was called up.
"Break a leg!" Serena told her best friend who nodded and headed out onto the stage.
The crowd cheered like they normally did as Dawn stood on the stage. Some people wolf whistled, others simply clapped and cheered.
"Hello, ladies and gentlemen! I'm going to sing 'Everybody wants to rule the world' by Lorde" Dawn told the crowd who cheered before Dawn started to sing after the music started up.
"Welcome to your life… There's no turning back… Even while we sleep… They will find you. Acting on your best behaviour, turn your back on mother nature. Everybody wants to rule the world… Help me to decide. Help me make the most of freedom. And of pleasure. Nothing. Ever. Lasts. Forever! Ah, everybody wants to rule the world… There's a room where the light won't find you. Holding hands while the walls come tumbling down. When they do, I'll be right behind you. So glad we've almost made it. So sad we had to fade it. Everybody wants to rule the, everybody wants to rule the, everybody wants, to ru-u-ule, the world"
The crowd cheered after Dawn finished her song. They loves it. Short, but sweet. Dawn blushed a bit and thanked the crowd before heading backstage again.
"Well done Dawn. That was so cool!" Serena exclaimed at Dawn as she sat down
"Thanks…" Dawn replied clearly embarrassed.
After 11 more performances, Serena, was called up to perform.
There we go. Two more songs left. What will happen? What will Serena sing? What will Ash sing? Who knows… Me. I know. Anyway, leave a review with a question if you have any, and I'll reply as I love replying to reviews. Although, if you're signed in as a guest, then I'll have to answer your question in the next chapter. Bye!
