Slip on the Knots


It had been an hour after the excitement died down, though Ken had yet to return, he did send a message to keep an ear out for him, and so far Aranea was growing more confused alongside the others.

It was when the main Stage came on that they all paid attention as the crowd went wild as Slipknot came on.

With the lead Singer pulling the Mic off of the stand to make an announcement.

"HEY YOU LITTLE MAGGOTS, TODAY, WE HAVE A SPECIAL GUEST TODAY!" hearing the crowd go wild, The Celestials and the Tennysons paid full attention.

"TODAY, AFTER THE FIASCO WITH THAT WEIRD WATER MONSTER BULLSHIT, WE FOUND A GUY, WHO WE FOUND OUT WAS A HUGE FAN OF OURS!" staring with a growing suspicion, Akali spoke with a knowing grin.

"Fifty says this is Ken they're talking about" seeing Genji speak, he closed his mouth as he simply stared at the stage knowing not to ever bet against any of the women on this team.

"LADIES AND GENTLEMEN, ALLOW ME TO INTRODUCE TO YOU, LOOOOOOKI!" getting a confused cheer from the crowd, it grew intense as Ken, in his armor, stepped onto the Stage with a Guitar raised above his head.

With the entire group staring in shock while Venessa clapped while jumping in place.

"GO DAD GO!"


Staring at the cheering crowd with a large grin on his face while stepping up close to Corey, the man brought him into a one armed hug.

"TELL ME LOKI, WHAT SONG IS IT YOU WANTED TO PLAY!?" looking to Corey with a grin, Ken spoke.

"Well Corey, I'm thinkin' Psychosociall" turning to the crowd, Ken spoke.

"HOW ABOUT YOU ALL!?" getting a cheer from the crowd, Ken grinned as the band began a tune, more specifically his favourite song.

"LET'S HEAR IT FOR PSYCHOSOCIAL!" with that Ken began the lead guitar with Corey lightly banging his head while giving Ken the devil horns before he lifted the Mic to his lips.

"Ooh, yeah!" grinning madly as he watched Corey turn to the crowd, Ken looked to the others who were all banging heads with him.

"I did my time and I want out

So effusive, fade, it doesn't cut

The soul is not so vibrant

The reckoning, the sickening

Packaging subversion

Pseudo-sacrosanct perversion

Go drill your deserts, go dig your graves

Then fill your mouth with all the money you will save

Sinking in, getting smaller again

I'm done, it has begun, I'm not the only one"

Shaking in excitement while moving to a speaker, Ken shook his head with Corey laughing at how he threw his head about before looking to Corey as he sang calmly.

"And the rain will kill us all

We throw ourselves against the wall

But no one else can see

The preservation of the martyr in me

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

There are cracks in the road we laid

But where the temple fell

The secrets have gone mad

This is nothing new, but when we killed it all

The hate was all we had

Who needs another mess?

We could start over

Just look me in the eyes and say I'm wrong

Now there's only emptiness

Venomous, insipid

I think we're done, I'm not the only one

And the rain will kill us all

We throw ourselves against the wall

But no one else can see

The preservation of the martyr in me"

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!

Psychosocial!"

Taking a deep breath while cranking his helmets mic to the loudest, Ken grinned as he gave his own growl, startling Corey as Ken roared in glee, the band of Slipknot cuing the instruments as Ken psyched himself to give his own take on the Growl.

"The limits of the dead!

The limits of the dead!

The limits of the dead!

The limits of the dead!"

Throwing his back with a demented laugh at the wild crowd, Ken failed to notice the clouds darken as he sang the next verse with Corey nodding in approval.

"Fake anti-fascist lie

(Psychosocial!)
I tried to tell you but

(Psychosocial!)
Your purple hearts are giving out

(Psychosocial!)
Can't stop a killing idea

(Psychosocial!)
If it's hunting season

(Psychosocial!)
Is this what you want?

(Psychosocial!)
I'm not the only one!

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me

And the rain will kill us all
We throw ourselves against the wall
But no one else can see
The preservation of the martyr in me"

Spinning in place to gather up the build up to the next part, Ken walked to the many members with a nod, his arms on auto as he gave a laugh, stepping up beside Corey as he stood facing the cheers like he has for the past verses, he turned to Ken with the Mic point at his mouth, making Ken grin as he growled.

"The limits of the dead!" banging his head alongside Corey, Ken continued with a laugh

"The Limits of the DEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAD!" laughing openly as the drums ended the song, the crowd cheered with Ken raising the Guitar above his head like a prize before handing it back to the original owner as he came on stage, patting Ken on the back as Corey spoke over the cheering horde.

"LET'S GIVE A ROUND TO LOKI!" shaking hands with the members of slipknot, Ken gave Corey a respecting bow while clasping his hands before he moved off stage.

Before he stopped at seeing a sentient cloud above with one lone purple eye.


Staring at the sight with Slipknot gawking, Ken rushed to the edge of the Stage before a green flash replaced him with Wolf flying upward.

"LANTERN, MIGHT NEED A HAND WITH THIS!?" zooming upward while avoiding lightning shot at him, Ken looked back with relief at flash summoned shields blocking the lightning from hitting the ground, Hall Jordan joining his side.

"SO, any aliens in the Omnitrix we could use!" bringing up a wall of Emerald green energy to block the lightning, Ken stared at the glowing purple eye as it lead a neck of dark clouds that formed a body.

Narrowing his eyes, Ken brought his right hand back before he glowed negative… followed by a large truck rising up behind him also glowing negative.

"If my guess is correct, aim for the eye" refusing to flinch as Hal caught the eye in a green bubble, the clouds began to converge around his construct which crashed from the rapid lightning strikes, a grunt escaping him.

"Whatever you're gonna do better work, cause this is tiring me out" taking him, Wolf gave a grunt while throwing his arm forward, resulting in himself flipping slowly while the truck flew by at high velocity.

Seeing this Hal dropped the ball.

Allowing the Truck to explode upon impact, sending the clouds scattering while a smoke trail flew over the city before it came out of sight.

"We might wanna check that" turning to fly after it, Hal spoke.

"I got this, you just sit back and make sure no one was hurt" watching the Lantern fly off, Ken shrugged before flying down, upon landing with the crowd cheering him, Ken smiled before he flew out of sight.

Shaking her head while waiting for Ken, Aranea sat down beside a dancing Venessa before the little Kineceleran was lifted off the ground by Ken who set her on his shoulders.

"That was awesome!" laughing at her excitement, Ken turned to Aranea who brought him into a kiss.

"Had fun?" seeing Ken smile widely, he nodded.

"Oh yeah"


It was lucky they got the front row of the Concert, the currently only one still workable during the night, with Ken he merely smiled at Max's excitement of seeing his favourite Band playing.

Ken smiled while listening to Shag Carpeting.

Ken smiled as Hope was on his shoulders while cheering, Ken feeling her grind on the back on his head with his cheeks reddening.

Before he turned to Gwen who spoke beside Max and Ben while Kevin head banged.

"When they play that song, does it always feel like a real tornadoes flowing through?" noting on the high winds all of a sudden, Hope climbed off of Ken who turned with a frown before he looked up… and up.

"Oh give me a break"

Watching as people ran for it, there was no sign of Green Lantern… which made Ken worry before he relaxed slightly at seeing a green beam slice through a water arm.

"SO… who wants to do damage control because at this moment I am done with this thing" moving forward with the Celestials following.

"Ken!?" turning to Max as he spoke, Ken blinked as he along with the others were washed over by a pink light, turning to the large weather monster, Ken stared back firmly.

(There you are) rolling his eyes while activating the Omnitrix, Ken looked up with a groan as Green Lantern was on a collision course for them.

Seeing Lantern land nearby, Ken and Angela rushed to his aid, with Ken looming over Hal with amusement.

"So, you got this you say?" giving a groan as he sat up, Hal spoke with a glove wiping blood from his lower lip.

"Not a word" snorting while turning to Angela as she began tending to Hal, Ken spoke.

"Be sure you get him healed up, I'll deal with weather demon" turning to Monster SAM, Hal spoke.

"There's a reporter near it's head, said you can take it down if you hit the drone inside with a frequency" cue the hum from Twister Alley here.

"Well, I better get someone useful for this" pressing the dial down, Ken felt himself shrink and his flesh replaced with a silicon like substance. Ken stood as a Sonorosian.

Looking down at himself, Ken grinned as he called out to Aranea.

"Aranea, can I get a lift!?" seeing his main girlfriend give him a dubious look, she suddenly stood before him with a smirk of amusement.

"Oh you look adorable, Ken!" rolling his eyes while climbing onto her back, Ken pointed to the top of the monster with an annoyed voice.

"Just get me to the top, please" getting a giggle from Aranea, she zoomed to the top with Ken jumping off with Aranea digging rapidly before SAM was exposed.

"Might wanna cover you're ears babe!"

Flexing his muscles as three clones popped out of his sides, Aranea stared in alarm before vanishing from sight, allowing Ken to grin three times.

"BECAUSE THIS IS GONNA GET, LOUD!" following that was a literal tunnel of sonic death with SAM's dome case cracking as sparks rose from him.

(WHY DOES THIS HURT SO MUCH!)

Ken merely ignored SAM, seeing as the weather and cement around him was falling apart, Ken stopped to catch his breath while the clones continued the verbal assault *Chuckles*.

Ken inhaled once more before he gave one final roar.

Which made SAM's "Brain" explode.

And seeing that as the ground they stood on shook, Ken and the clones shared one glance before they leaped back into him before a flash later and Ken was falling with Vance on his back with Apex not Ken's choice mind you, was swinging and clinging to the loose lampposts.

Hell even an AT-HOLY FUCK A TRUCK!.


Leaping upward onto the roof as the truck literally drove itself down a slope, Apex tried his best to ignore a now bald Vance screaming in his ear… er, Gills?.

Standing covered head to toe in sludge, Ken stood with his arms crossed, Aranea was giggling while wiping his hair while Venessa was listening to the concert with Max holding her on his left shoulder.

"I'm missing the rain right now" getting a snort from Aranea as Ahri held a towel for them, Ken took it with a nod before splashing the sogging towel onto his face with a loud slap.

thanking the fact is was hot and warm.
