Spells and Louds
Chapter 383: The Start of August.
(August 1, Spellman Estate.)
As usual, this is the start of a musical day for them and they have all made it to the Spellman Estate Musical Room for the whole thing. All of them are set and ready and looking to the lyric sheets, so let's see who we are dealing with here.
Neil and Gwen are already inside and reading the lyric sheets along with Luna, Sam, Sully, Mazzy, Sunset, Jordan, Lincoln and Linka who have some musical instruments ready.
Outside, Leon and Sergei are also going through some lyrics for the songs they will be doing later alongside Neil and of course Gyro is there to see what the songs are all about, and who's on the recording table? Michelle Lewis, she has knowledge on how these things work.
"Okay, so everything is set and ready for recording. Just need to know if you guys are all set in there" said Michelle.
"Thanks dude, we'll tell you when we get our axes and stuff set and ready, and when mom and pops give the signal" replied Luna. They see Neil and Gwen still going through what they're going to read.
"It's kinda off and a little bit odd to have the lady who was once your enemy be working with us" said Sully.
"We can trust her guys, she was not the bad kinda person and was only pushed into doing bad things for her partner" said Sam. "Cut her some slack and let's let her do her thing to help us out."
"Okay Sam, but if I can recall she won't be here for next week right?" asked Mazzy.
"That is true, for one week only she won't be here, but instead she's going on the one week tour that the Dazzles and I are off to and all thanks to Sam for reasoning with her dad" said Sunset.
"No need to be thankful guys, my dad wants to see if she can be as helpful as she can be for the tour, also she is experienced and my dad could use a break from making the calls and schedules" said Sam.
They then hear Michelle on the microphone. "And I'll do my very best to help you and the Dazzles make the tour as great as possible. Also, the song you made Susnet is amazing! My Past is not Today could really make the people go wild along with the song Find the Magic with the Dazzles. Love them both and the others songs you girls have come up with."
Sunset looks to her friends. "See? She can handle the harshest of tours and can help us setup things when we need it the most and could help out for when fans are going all out."
"Sunset's right, Michelle wants to make up for all she did and to show the world she can be a changed person" said Luna as she grabs her axe.
"Luna's right, Michelle Lewis is not going to make the same mistakes we can trust her. Can you guys just give her a shot at this?" said Lincoln as he gets his axe ready and Linka gets to the piano.
Sully and Mazzy look to each other and then back to the band. "Sure, we'll try."
"Plus, she could help us with some of our gigs when she gets back" said Sully.
"Chunk can handle driving around and hauling the gear, while Michelle double checks things and makes sure the venue is up to code, we did hear about what happened to this nice and awesome band in Hazeltucky and what happened to them at the venue they were gonna perform, gotta feel bad for them" said Mazzy.
"Don't worry guys, when I come back and help with your gigs. I can make it feel like you guys got more than just the spotlight" said Michelle. Gyro chuckles, he's impressed by this woman.
"See, already doing an awesome work at being supportive and trying" said Jordan. "Give her a chance and she could be your friend too." This was enough to motivate Sully and Mazzy and perhaps give this Michelle a chance to make things right.
Neil and Gwen then speak. "We're ready." The rest of the band has their instruments and are on standby.
Michelle then gets ready. "Okay, so Night on Fire in 3. 2. 1. Hit it!" She hits record.
Gwen: When daylight paints the city.
She's a decadent sight."
But her masquerade is slipping.
As streets paved with corruption comes to light.
When the night falls.
Come shadows ever darker.
We're going down by the wire.
And on my call.
With resolve all the stronger.
A spark in the dark ignites.
Light the night on fire.
Neil: If you've entered this system is my temple.
I've ascended to metaphysical levels.
I fell from heaven to hell, met with the devil.
To revel in the revolution of which I am the vessel.
Ready to introduce pedal to metal?
Get into the fast lane with the rest of us rebels.
Unless you're a hack, get jacked-in, we'll mentally wrestle.
I'm ahead of the network's curve, yet you wanna meddle?
I took the red pill while everyone is settled.
For decadence, you can forget whoever said you were special.
'Cause if you want the deadliest tech that can be assembled.
Get ready to spend, don't enter black markets to heckle.
I'm making synth waves, I don't mean instrumentals.
On the cyber tide with pirates aligned in my channel.
I need a training montage with all that I've learned.
After that I got a city to burn.
Gwen: Light the night on fire.
Electric blood runs in our veins.
Unleash the Samurai inside ya.
When gates unlock, you'll walk through the flames.
Neil: I know my 1984 well.
And George Orwell sure knows how to foretell.
If you abhor any sort of megacorp, well.
Step out of fiction and into your hell.
Big brother's got you in a secured cell.
Economy's booming 'cause it's true that war sells.
When loaded guns are foremost form of doorbell.
Rally with the family with a pocket of more shells.
What happens when the dreams are no longer dormant?
We're the ones who always wanted more than we're born with.
If it costs my humanity I can afford it.
If poverty's prevalent you bet I can ignore it.
I sure wasn't born with a silver spoon in my mouth.
If you're stuck a silver tongue will help you to get out.
But if you gotta walk the talk if you wanna build your brand.
And then take back the wealth with a silverhand.
Gwen: When the night falls.
Come shadows ever darker.
We're going down by the wire.
And on my call.
With resolve all the stronger.
A spark in the dark ignites.
When daylight paints the city.
She's a decadent sight.
But her masquerade is slipping.
As streets paved with corruption comes to light.
Neil: I feel it in the air.
We're all so far from protecting.
Their eyes are everywhere.
Just let them watch us as we.
Neil and Gwen: Light the night on fire.
Electric blood runs in our veins.
Unleash the Samurai inside ya.
When gates unlock, we'll walk through the flames.
Walk through the flames.
Walk through the flames.
Walk through the flames.
Light the night on fire.
They all clap at that song they performed and how futuristic it sounded.
Michelle then hits stop and upload. "Alright that sounded awesome. Kinda like a retro and advanced rock or something and really impressive to."
"That went well and we sounded awesome" said Neil.
Gwen removes her headset. "Well, now it's time to see what you and your brothers can do next." She then kisses Neil and she heads out and high fives Leon and Sergei who come into the room.
"Alright, what song is next on the list?" asked Neil.
"That would be De-us Vult? Oh, Deus Vult. No clue what that means, but it seems like a traditional word and you guys are going to be making it all happen" said Michelle. "Ready in there?"
The band switches into some more native and old instruments and they all give her the thumbs up and she hits record. This confuses Gyro. 'What the heck is this song about?'
Leon and Sergei: Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult.
As their arrows fill the sky.
Stand your ground.
Don't leave my side.
Neil: Bloodthirsty, ravenous, savages damned.
Trapped in an epic battle that can never end.
Ever since it began, every faction and clan.
Has been after revenge, I will massacre them.
Temples shall collapse, no castle will stand.
All that will be left is ash in the sand.
Crash onto the shore, vast vessels will land.
Bashing down your doors with battering rams!
Shrapnel will be scattered you'll be shattered condemned.
Make a press for the wall by ladder ascend.
Smash past your defense than capture your land.
If you have what I want. I never ask I demand!
Clash in combat, no tactical plan.
Brandishing an axe, hack up half of your men.
So if you and my weapon haven't already met.
Get prepared as a sharp dagger lands in your neck.
Leon and Sergei: Rise and Conquer.
Fight for Honor.
Allies and Brothers.
Our fallen fathers.
All die, for Honor!
Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult.
Neil: The chosen approach with katanas in hand.
Travel far from Japan, come to conquer new lands.
By the code of Bushido they fight hard to the end.
Glory in life, honor in death.
Aryan Nords, Barbarian hordes.
Lords of the Warborn carrying swords.
Blaring their horns, they're declaring a war.
Drums thundering harder than the hammer of Thor!
We are legion, forged in fire.
Bathed in blood, encased in iron.
Hilt in hand, unsheathe and wield.
Flay your flesh with sharpened steel.
Leon and Sergei: Knights and Vikings, Samurai.
Seldom shall they spare a life.
Came to war prepared to die.
At death, we're sent to paradise.
Neil: We've all been lost in this fight for years.
It costs us blood, no time for tears.
Into your hearts, I'm striking fear.
A head for every pike and spear!
Leon and Sergei: Rise and Conquer.
Fight for Honor.
Allies and Brothers.
Our fallen fathers.
All die, for Honor!
Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult. Deus Vult.
As their arrows fill the sky.
I will stand here by your side.
Neil: From the rumbling seas, none will come in peace.
You'll be under siege and they plunder, seize.
Ripped asunder, breached, damaged, bludgeoned, weak.
Shields splintered, clubbed, beaten, cuts run deep.
Fathers unto sons bequeath.
Surrendered thrones, no crown to keep.
As you run from me, you'll be struggling just to breathe.
Mighty tyrants shall tumble from peaks.
Leon and Sergei: Find peace in death, onto Valhalla.
Lay me to rest, I'll die with Honor.
Arrows fill the sky.
But I'm not afraid to die.
All three brothers: Rise and Conquer.
Fight for Honor.
Allies and Brothers.
Our fallen fathers.
All die, for Honor!
Deus Vult. (x16)
They are all at a crossroads with how awesome is sounded, then Gyro yells out. "Leroy! Jenkins!" And just right after Michelle hits stop and upload.
They all look to him. "Oh, sorry about that. But I got my blood pumping from just hearing that, kinda cool too."
"Gotta admit, that was pretty sick and way awesome and nice call in those old and traditional style instruments guys" said Leon.
"They seem like the proper tools for the job, besides it was a three way war song for the three factions known for murder in the past" replied Jordan. They did not know how to respond to that.
"I got my amps and my persona rocked and rolled, let's do the god damn next one!" said Sergei.
Michelle then finishes up. "Okay, so the next seems to be French in words, and it's called L'Oeil de L'Aigle. You guys ready?"
"It is an assassin's creed song, so let's do this thing!" said Lincoln. The others were also ready and Linka and Jordan have some violins ready and so does Luna and Sam and then Michelle hits record. "Hit it!"
All 3 brothers: Ou le loup trouve un agneau.
Il y'en cherche un nouveau.
Neil: If you need to reach me I'll be grim-reapin'.
Puttin' bodies in the dirt, six feet deep in.
Hungry people in the streets and you keep eatin'.
Now we got beef, and it's not that kinda beefy season.
You came to set the score, I came to keep it even.
At least try to be discrete about your greedy-feedin'.
Marquis you wanna start giving me a reason.
Not to hunt you down and cut you down like I was Liam Neeson.
Keep away from me unless you wanna be anemic.
Like a hemophiliac's scratch, I can keep ya bleedin'.
Doesn't matter if you're clean of these diseases.
Easier it is to make you bleed, that would be convenient.
Stealthily deceive people while I'm sneak-thievin'.
But I'm only takin' your ability to keep breathin'.
Retract my hidden blade back into my sleeve.
And by the time the smoke clears you won't even get to see me leavin'.
Too late to make agreements, we won't listen to reason.
King Louis I'll rip you're peace treaty into pieces.
You will be the next head the guillotine has eaten.
But I only hope before you go we get to hear you screamin'.
All 3 Brothers: This is the dawn of war.
We're knockin' on your door.
I'd fall upon my sword.
Before I call off this war.
Neil: Got my pocket watch out, I'm keepin' track of time.
Death is not a fate that I'll get accepted by.
I'll be watchin' when I let you get beheaded by.
The men and women you regret that you ever set aside.
I've been trackin' every step that you take.
Death will come on wings, you could hold your breath if you wait.
See my decision was to only let you rest in your grave.
From the moment you said, "Fuck the people let them eat cake!"
Hey, en Francais, parlez-vous?
Apres j'ai assasine, let's rendez-vouz.
See me perched upon the rooftop – I could be a gargoyle.
Though I'm not aluminum, I'll keep your evil plot foiled.
My name is Arno, I go where Templars go.
None of my targets ever get too far though.
I'm a small part of my large cause, so.
Haters gonna hate, they just jealous of my wardrobe.
All 4 Brothers: This is the dawn of war.
We're knockin' on your door.
I'd fall upon my sword.
Before I call off this war.
Neil: I'm quick to pick locks.
Hit you with my flintlock.
My hidden crossbow.
Wear it like a wrist watch.
I'll leave your neck slit.
If you get me pissed off.
People say I'm in the hood.
I leave my victims crip walk.
I'm not from the hood, I got a hood, I keep it down.
Low-profile, blend in with the people now.
Eagles vision is the reason I can seek you out.
But I only aim to make a scene when you're bleeding out.
All 3 Brothers: This is the dawn of war.
We're knockin' on your door.
I'd fall upon my sword.
Before I call off this war.
They were all impressed at how truly French and revolutionary that was. Michelle hits stop and upload. "Wow, just wow! That was kinda epic and sorta into the romantic and also into the over the top history remake kill zone."
Gwen chuckles. "Everything you just said made little to know sense or just made sense."
"I'm sure Assassin Lincoln will like that one, truly sounds like a little bit of history got rewritten big time!" said Gyro. "He also wanted to let you know he liked the other Assassin's Creed songs, they sounded right and proper."
"We got Linc to thank for that one" said Luna.
"True, but Luna did help with the French parts, most of the times I didn't do much of the French, since I am kinda bad at it" replied Lincoln. "I just helped with some parts for the rhymes and Lunes was more into the French words than she is when she goes English."
"Well, no need to worry" said Jordan. "Once we graduate out of Middle School and head onto High School then French will be a class we can both partake in." This makes the two of them blush and chuckle with a love daze. The others thought this looked kinda cute.
"Okay, okay. We can do with the romance later guys, let's lock and load with the last song" said Linka.
"The song is Bloodlines, for Assassin's Creed once more and was made by both Lincoln and Luna" said Michelle as she stands by. "You two seem to know how to make songs sound awesome, even as a team."
"We know what to do, that's how we roll" said Luna. "We get our inspiration from each other and see how it works. Now, let's make this last song count and sound special dudes!"
"Yeah!" They all stand by and get their instruments ready and Michelle hits record. Linka starts off on the piano and the others continue with the intro to the song.
This song seems only better as Neil, Leon and Sergei sing it together.
He's been cleansing the holy lands.
As blood runs on the golden sands.
A strong head on his shoulder stand.
The Templars will have broken necks.
Hidden where enemies linger.
Cuz he's always been a keen thinker.
And he don't need a ring finger.
With a blade up his sleeve – Shink. Agh!
He's the youngest master assassin.
He can blend in with the masses.
From Masyaf to Damascus.
You cannot stop him from happenin'.
The Assassin's Creed is his song.
After his death it will play on.
The crusade for liberation.
Hide your crosses, cuz he'll break them!
I'll show you why. (I'll show you why)
You won't survive the night.
Just before you die. (Before you die.)
You look in my eyes and see the light.
You know I'm the one. (Know I'm the one)
And where I come from. (Where I come from.)
I'm the reason why people like you should run.
You knew from the start.
On the day that you died.
That I'd be the one who's by your side.
With his head up with his hood down.
So he blends in with the whole crowd.
And he moves quickly with no sound.
Templars are gonna go down.
Goin' blood drunk as the swords clash.
Cuttin' heads off while on horseback.
He's the man everyone wants dead.
But his whole plans stayin' on track.
Hell-bent on getting vengeance.
From vigilante to legend.
Givin' a couple of tricks to Desmond.
Smashin' heads in is genetic.
All the way from Venice to Forli.
They all know the name Auditore.
He's a master Assassin of sword play.
And he's pretty practiced with Foreplay.
All three brothers: I'll show you why. (I'll show you why)
You won't survive the night.
Just before you die. (Before you die.)
You look in my eyes and see the light.
You know I'm the one. (Know I'm the one)
And where I come from. (Where I come from.)
I'm the reason why people like you should run.
You knew from the start.
On the day that you died.
That I'd be the one who's by your side
Give him a single reason, why he should let you live.
Don't piss off a Kenway, because when they catch you they'll never forgive.
He's gotta avenge his tribe, taking names and taking lives.
Born into a Revolution and no, he's not takin' sides.
Been cuttin' through red coats, ever since he discovered his dead folks.
So instead of keepin it diplomatic, he's shoving it back down their throats.
With a tomahawk and a hidden blade, Cuz he's sick of playing your British games.
He will cut you down and spit on your grave, when he celebrates Independence Day!
A life at sea, you better believe is the life for me.
I come from the like of thieving pirates, so you don't want you're wives near me.
Now with a couple of rusty muskets, ready to cover you chaps in blood.
As I leap from the mass, to land your ass with the tip of the blade that you've been stuck with.
He demands all hands on deck, as the captain takes the helm.
A watery grave awaits you, all the folks he has faced have fell.
Assassins have come and gone. Into martyr's they've made themselves.
Who knows what the future holds. Now only fate can tell.
I'll show you why. (I'll show you why)
You won't survive the night.
Just before you die. (Before you die.)
You look in my eyes and see the light.
You know I'm the one. (Know I'm the one)
And where I come from. (Where I come from.)
I'm the reason why people like you should run.
You knew from the start.
On the day that you died.
That I'd be the one who's by your side
Now that one deserved a round of applause from everyone. Michelle hits stop before they did applause and she joins them and then uploads the songs.
"Now that is a true finale to any Assassin's Creed songs!" said Gyro. "This is going to make some good strides and someone very happy to know that the legacy of the Assassin's keeps going with these songs you guys have made, vey wicked and cool."
"We know Guardian" said Lincoln. "Assassin Lincoln is bound to love this song."
"Well that was awesome." Neil removes his headset and so do his brothers. "Anyone want something to eat?" They all could use something to eat.
As they begin to leave they check on the songs and they all sound good. Michelle then finishes it off and she uploads them into some CD's. "Well, that takes care of that also Courage is making a pizza and is probably done with the fifth one."
"Pizza for lunch? Now that sounds like a plan" said Sam.
"Courage is always making nice food for us, he really can't break his habit of thanking us for helping him with this new life" said Linka.
They all head back to the kitchen then Lincoln realizes. "Tomorrow is Victor's birthday right?"
The rest of the team realizes this. "Oh, right."
