Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Ch XXVI (Yearly Lives Timeskip pt. 6: Amp vs Amp)
This is Xcalibur -A NEW WORLD- Season 2: Years of War
Disclaimer: This one may not have another war scene. In fact, maybe no ENDERS involve since their members are decreasing significantly. I want this one as a shorter chapter that will reveal the origin of Sam's offspring and Luna's second. And addition to that is Paige's child so this one might become even shorter. I'm still suppose to be in hiatus since I'm taking a break from the social media's toxicity. Seriously, there's too much political crisis and racial injustice going on that my mental health declines by the second. I want to protest to all readers that BlackLivesMatters! and activism isn't terrorism, it's a freedom in speech and concern issues but politicians are becoming stupider by the second. But that doesn't mean violence is the answer, rioting and looting will accomplish nothing but sadness and ruin. This year has become a second Dark Ages, and the only way to help is to help others motivated or entertained to keep up the fight we call life. Hope you guys have a swell time. May God bless us all! Shalom/Peace be with you!
After a whole week of explaining to the others of Lincoln's situation, nothing changed and they accepted it to be part of their lives. The Ouroboros Enforcer Simon Peterson (Pope of Hope) had mixed feelings on the Nephilim's choice of life (and woman) but still gladly wed them nonetheless. He just called it the "will of the Father God Almighty" and prayed them a blessed life. Well of course each weekdays they decided to spend time with him like an individual date.
Winnie Bloodhound on Mondays
Elsa Frankensteen on Tuesdays
Tanis Hotep on Wednesdays
Phanty Poltergeist on Thursdays
And last but not certainly least, Sibella Alucard on Fridays (saving the best for last)
The Nephilim got great news, Samael's followers had ordained his loyalists to have a mass curfew and search on those who allies themselves to ENDERS and have them punished in Phlegethon, The river of boiling blood and flames. Because of this, the world will not have to worry about ENDERS-related crisis for a few more years. With that settled, the Headmasters even contacted the senate and the UN that they will have no more worries of any outworld problems or invasions. They can now focus on the relative peace and any problems that are mundane will be dealt with ease. And if ever there are ENDERS involve, those from the Ouroboros will be dispatched with doubled-combat experience to resolve any conflict without causing excess harm.
Ludociel/Lincoln is relieved to hear that action had been implemented and any crisis are being resolve with expertise. Now peace had returned temporarily but he knew, as long as there are those who would violate the order of the world, there will always be war. For the ENDERS exist, they cannot live without caution. But for now, he won't be wielding blades, instead with instruments and offsprings of his. The Nephilim now focused on taking care of Liena and Lyra as well as his daughters from Maggie and Lynn. Lucy adopted Lupa in hopes of teaching her to control her cryo-lycan and vampiric powers while Rocky acted as the father figure and main source of income for them. Lori had to deal with Loan's constant anxiety problem but at least her daughter won't be alone. She had Bobby and Rosalinda and soon Amanda. Ronnie Anne can't help but be jealous of not taking advances with Ludociel/Lincoln but she had to bear with it since her anger management issues aren't resolved. Alexander acted as the family therapist.
Now funny how things went up to the twin cousins, Lana and Lola. For Lola's case, Winston von Rosenberg got interested in Lindsey Sweetwater. Lola's male crush now male friend fell in love with her rival. Irene had nothing against it since they are now grown Druids, they can make choices on their own. Lola took it well, so she didn't suffer the curse of her Commandment. For Lana's scenario, Skippy actually found his soulmate in Lana's rival, Lacey St. Claire (never thought she had a Bigfoot fetish). Their other friends such as the Mud Girl from before found herself in Johnny Phenex's arms, while Meli Ramos is with… Joshua Wayward. It was expected to have heartbreak but nothing of such occurred. Lincoln is proud of how mature the two became ever since.
-After 2 and 3/4 years of dating the Transylvania ladies (and having children)-
As of Ludociel/Lincoln's break, he spent time with the others. Luna is preparing with the battle of the bands with Mazzy, Chunk, Sully, Tabby and her wife, Sam (Yes they are together but she'll also be with Lincoln, soon). Lyra and Terry will watch on TV when the contest had been televised. Along with Lucenda, Pandora, Tahra, Ramses, Erika and the Bloodhound triplets. They trained for hours everyday, and seeing that determination in their eyes, they were sure to force victory.
Weeks later they now entered the competition. The crowd overflowed the stadium, many attended the battle. The competitors had their mixed feelings of anxiety, determination, passion and fear to this tournament. Now the musical geniuses will be contesting among each other to see who will come out on top.
Music selections
-Less Talk More Rokk by Freezepop-
Music is loud, the kids are so young
All over the world, they wanna have fun
The music is so loud, it drowns out the talk
All over the world, just give us more rock
The music is loud, the night is so young
All over the world, we wanna have fun
The music gets louder, please don't call the cops!
All over the world, we just wanna ROCK!
-Black Sheep by Metric-
Hello again
Friend of a friend, I knew you well
Our common goal was waiting for the world to end
Now that the truth is just a rule that you can bend
You crack the whip, shape-shift and trick, the past again
I'll send you my love on a wire
Lift you up, every time
Everyone, ooh
Pulls away, ooh
From YOOOOUUUU!
-Threshold by Sex-Bob-Omb-
I'm hearing voices, animal noises
The creme de la creme, the feminine abyss
And I'm reaching my threshold
Staring at the truth till I'm blind
My body's stupid, stereo putrid
Spilling out music into raw sewage
Reaching out my threshold
Staring at the truth till I'm blind
My Threshold, My Threshold
Reaching my Threshold!
My Threshold, I'll explode
Reaching my threshold!
A few competitors down and Luna and the Frozen Hearts (Yeah, That's their name) have reached to the finals were they faced the last semi-finalist that will reach the top of the tournament to be their final battle. When the final contestant had forged their way to the finals, Luna's group are much surprised to see a rather familiar face.
Luna: Wait! Sir Isa!? He's our final opponent in the tournament!?
Lincoln/Ludociel: Yes, indeed. It seemed The Moon's Wrath is our finalist. Along with a handful of musicians.
They saw Erik/Phantom of the Opera along with Orpheus as their final competition.
Sam: No way! The Phantom of the Opera and the Greek prophet? Seriously?
Isaiah; Is that underestimation that I'm hearing from my former student?
Luna: So teach is really our final obstacle.
Lincoln/Ludociel: I wouldn't underestimate us as we do with you!
Isaiah: Very well, I shall not show cockiness in out duel but fair warning. We are indeed a tough adversary!
The two group prepare for their final competition as they make their way to the final round.
Sam: So guys, who do you think is going first?
Lincoln/Ludociel: I think you both are going first.
Luna: Wait! Amp vs Amp!? We're playing at the same time?
Sam: That's not possible!
Actually, it's possible.
Sam: Oops, my bad.
Mazzy: Geez girl, your bad for saying my bad?
Luna: Crap, we shouldn't be here?
Sully: Hey, knock it off. If things go wrong, Chunk and Lincoln we'll be at are watch!
Lincoln/Ludociel: You can count on us!
The two gives them a thumbs-up to encourage them. The battle will soon commence and Isaiah had activated his techno-piano of a size of the entire side of his stage while behind him are drummers and lyre players. Erik is with him playing the keyboard. Their theme is a metal version of classical music (Grieg - Offenbach: In the of the Mountain King & Can Can) at the same time fighting against Luna and her band with their music (Dual Mix - Casey Edwards' Devil Trigger with Metal mix)
The battle of music at the same time is like a roaring Electric Manticore against a Frost Cerberus. Each note pouncing and each sound shocking! The crowds cheers at the music battle of the two great bands as they chuck the amp upto eleven. The sound vibrates at the entire stadium that even those that are at distance from it can hear the music battle going on! As the battle of the bands continue like a fight of monster, the hound bites and the manticore stings as if they are of equal footing. Then comes the finishing touch and end of the song. Both contenders performed commendably. Votes had been cast on both online and manual voting via vote machines. Soon the surveys counted the results to which will be announced after a short break.
While on break, the two group finalists had a chat at each other.
Erik: Outstanding! I never had such blood rushing since ages! This is the most fantastic music contest I had.
Orpheus: Thank you for giving a fair competition with us to day. We really enjoyed it!
Luna: Aw, it was nothing. I gave it my all to that.
Sam: Yeah, you guys too. You gave an amazing performance. Especially the teach!
Meanwhile Lincoln is speaking with Isaiah. When two people came by to them, a man in black suit and white inner polo and a woman in red dress.
Isaiah: I know both of you. Michelle Lewis and Doug Rockwell. Musically famed composer.
Michelle: And of course we'd be here looking for someone to be the next American Hit Maker!
Doug: Isaiah Wolfgang Mozart, the Neoclassicist and Renaissance man of music. We were expecting you to be here and now that you are we can…
Isaiah: No! I told you before, I will not give up what I truly am just for others to notice my genius. I will not sell myself for the world for what value is that to me nor the value of the world to have my soul back!
Lincoln: I knew you guys are nothing but sellouts! Get out of our sights before we have a serious tantrum!
Doug: I thought you'd be wiser, little snowcone. But I see you're also affiliated to this tasteless critique!
Lincoln: My friend here is not a tasteless critique! He is a musical genius and a good teacher to our bands! We won't be fooled by the likes of you.
Isaiah: Not even Orpheus given up for his famed melody. Now that his wife is in Paradise, he plays for her sake only, something even God would allow. And Erik, would want nothing less than perfect medley. Cheap composers like you will not satisfy his desires. Now, off you go before someone runs the rivers red!
The two went away as the group reunites to ask them about the argument. They told them of who they are and what they do to the talents they had once.
Isaiah: I had a student once, a girl. She became talented under my tutelage. She was honing and tuning her skills right. Until she was blind-sighted by fortune, glory and fame. She got what she wanted, but not what she needed. It was those two that sold her out on a deal. She sold herself like trading souls to Samael, no offence to him. Now she got all the money and richness she had, but her attitude changed and her peers started to dislike her. She once had a lover but cheated on her for someone else, the drummer. The bassist was only after her for money and fame. Soon the band disbanded and found their own path since their music stared going down the charts. She was alone, and empty. Those two didn't want her back, like a fruit that ran out of pulp and juice to squeeze out. Not even her fame and money saved her, she could have contacted her real friends and me but no. It drove her mad. Alexander became her therapist and he told me all her dilemmas. She tried drugs, alcoholism, self-depriving, self-hurt, maybe even suicide. None seemed to fill her emptiness. When I came to her directly, I granted her a piece of her old self, she wept on what she lost for the sake of her selfishness. Now she's slowly healing, but parts of her is still broken and unwilling to trust.
Luna: What was her name?
Lincoln/Ludociel: Nat. Natalie, right?
Isaiah: Natalie "Nat" Victoria Addams. Her former band name is ENVY Addams. She now works as a choir vocalist and music instructor at a local chapel. She is my former student and now my… lover.
Sam: That was such a sad story. I didn't knew teach was like that.
Orpheus: I will not let even the nymphs capture my heart that belongs only to Eurydice. May God rest her soul in Elysium that she may see my faith in her and to the Creator.
Erik: Same as I. They are nothing but cheap imitations of true talents. I will not be fooled by those who can't ever reach perfection! I am happy to be warned of their threatening display.
Luna: Lucky us, I guess. I can't imagine what I'd do when I see myself to be with those knockoffs.
Lincoln/Ludociel: I wouldn't even think about it.
After their conversation, the winners had now been finalized by the surveys and judges. The results are in a close tie with very little significant difference (so little that by sheer numbers had to be comparably had only at least 1 to 10 out of hundreds of thousands of millions watching). Still though, the difference had been deliberated and announced, the winner of the battle of the bands are… Isaiah and the Wolfgang. They had the prize trophy and money while Luna and her band got second place prize. The crowds cheer for an encore as Isaiah delivered a final music (A Remix of The Other Promise/Roxas). Soon Luna's group said their farewells as they head to their homes. Luna, Lincoln and Sam joined the Loud tower/house and greeted with a celebratory applause for making it to the finals and giving a near-win to them. Lyra hugs her mother with gladness as well as her father. Terry congratulated Luna before heading home with her mother, Tabby. The party lasted for a few more hours until night came…
Where the night is young, so is love. Luna once again asked her little brother-figure for a surrogate, this time with Sam. The adoptive Nephilim of a brother accepted and spent the whole night within the soundproof, frozen-locked room, with love in the air of the night.
I guess Lemuel/Lemy and Lina are gonna be next in line… and Logan? In the next few days I guess.
-Chapter End-
AN: And that's a wrap on this chapter. I might be shorter than before but that'll make do. No major fighting, wars and whatnot for now. So Lemy, Lina and Logan are now next to be birth for the family. And Lola and Lana, okay I admit, I had to make adjustments for that to occur. Johnny Phenex's age is undetermined since he's a Cambion [half-demon/human] so he doesn't age rapidly so the Muddy Girl had formed a bond with him. The crushes of the twins are different here in this AU than of my other stories so there. Some scenes and character here may have been based on the movie: Scott Pilgrim vs The World, which is a movie I'd recommend to watch.
Logan is a Paigecoln child based on ozjim's HC/AU. He owned the character for it. Lina is a Javisuzumiya thing so there you go… again.
Does Simon exist here? Yes he does and he is a minor character playing little role. He will be of least significance as a babysitter in the background.
Isaiah Wolfblood had a pretend name so that he is hidden from the real information (Isaiah Wolfgang Mozart).
