NeoGamer93: Thanks. Yeah, when you learn the meaning behind certain songs it really makes people think.
Please enjoy the next chapter.
Iruma, Sabro, Shax and Jazz were enjoying their Saturday, playing video games in Iruma's room when Iruma's phone went off. Sabro, Shax and Jazz looked at Iruma as he looked down at his phone, "It's Oswell. He said we have an interview tonight between the Demon Kings, the Devi Dolls, the Six Fingers and-"
"The Six Fingers?" Sabro laughed, "Those clowns are nothing more than an embarrassing band. The Demon Kings will crush them," his bandmates looked at him with unamused looks crossing their faces, "What?"
"Can I finish?" Iruma shook his head before Sabro sighed and crossed his arms and Iruma looked down at his phone again, "Anyway, those bands, along with the Unforgivable Three each have an interview tonight to see which band will get a deal at Interpol Heights…what?" Iruma arched a brow and shook his head, "So apparently the Unforgivable Three and the Six Fingers tried to get this deal a few months ago…but why? They're awful. Like Sabro said, the Six Fingers are a bunch of clowns and the Unforgivable Three…the two females in the band lust after their lead vocalist and it distracts them from the music, making it sound terrible,"
"So are you saying that the Devi Dolls are good?" Jazz crossed his arms, "What the hell, Iruma? They're our opponents and-"
"I listened to some of their songs before I even told you guys about them, just to see what we'd be up against and they're good," Iruma glared at his keyboardist, "They're our real threat. The Six Fingers and the Unforgivable Three might as well give up without even trying," the room fell silent as different thoughts ran through their minds.

Clara, Ameri and Elizabetta stared at Kerori as she sighed and shook her head, "Okay, so since neither the Devi Dolls or the Demon Kings got the deal with Spin City, you know that." the three nodded, "So Raim got us a new interview at Interpol Heights tonight, and the Demon Kings are going to be there too, along with the Six Fingers and the Unforgivable Three,"
"Why them?" Ameri arched a brow and shook her head, "The Six Fingers are a heavy metal band, and you can only understand every four words from them and the Unforgivable Three are…they're just a joke. They keyboardist and bassist lust after their vocalist and it distracts them from keeping time… they sound awful."
"Right, so the only real threat would be the Demon Kings," Kerori crossed her arms and narrowed her eyes, "We're not going to blow this. We're not going to perform a depressing song and blow this chance," her bandmates nodded in agreement.

The Devi Dolls and the Demon Kings, along with a band of six that consisted of two young women, one with short blonde hair and blue eyes, another with shoulder-length black hair and green eyes, and four young men, one with short black hair and red eyes, another with long black, braided hair and brown eyes, one with long white hair tired into a ponytail and blue eyes and the fourth with a bald head and dark eyes, and a band of three that consisted of a young man with pink hair and eyes and two young women, one with long blue hair and blue eyes and the other with long blonde hair and yellow eyes, sat in a large room.
The door soon opened and a man, with long black hair and yellow eyes, wearing a dark suit stepped inside before spotting the nine and shook his head, "Not you two bands…why are you here? We've turned you away an-"
"We understand, sir," the pink-haired young man spoke, "The Unforgivable Three would like another chance. I don't know why the Six Fingers are here,"
"Alice Asmodeus," the Demon Kings and the Devi Dolls looked at him with shocked expressions crossing their faces, "The reason why the Unforgivable Three were turned away was because your bandmates kept staring at you with lustful looks during your performance and messing up,"
"We're sorry that happened, sir, but it won't happen again," the blonde young woman assured, "Please give us another chance,"
The man sighed and shook his head, "Fine…if it means we can get this over with, we'll start with the Six Fingers," the six bandmates stood up and followed the man out of the room.
Hearing the latch catch, Sabro stared at Alice and narrowed his eyes, "Asmodeus," Alice hummed and looked at the drummer for the Demon Kings in confusion, "Do you have any relations with Amaryllis Asmodeus?"
"She's my mother, and she's also the reason why the Unforgivable Three can't get a record deal with Spin City," Alice crossed his arms and shook his head, "Her bosses believe it'll be a conflict of interest if she were to give us a deal and so they told us not to bother. They don't play favorites and they can't have any conflict between producers and bands,"
Before anything could be said, the door opened and the man stepped inside again, an annoyed look crossing his face, "That was fast," Irma commented, "What happened? Did they chicken out at the last minute?"
"They will not be working in this industry with that garbage they produce," the man growled as he shook his head, "Not ten seconds in and they were screaming at the top of their lungs while basically destroying their instruments like a bunch of idiots," he sighed before he looked at the three bandmates, "Unforgivable Three, you're up, and if you mess up, we will see to it that you will never set foot in this building ever again," the three nodded before they stood up and followed the man out of the room.

The three watched as the man sat down and took a deep breath, "The Unforgivable Three, bandmates consist of Alice, Konatsu and Azuki…don't blow this," the three nodded, "When you're ready," Alice began playing the guitar while Konatsu played the bass and Azuki played the keyboard before Alice began singing.
"I wanted you to know
that I love the way you laugh.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain away.
I keep your photograph
and I know it serves me well,
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away." The man focused on the band before he looked down and began writing something on a piece of paper in front of him.
"You've gone away
you don't feel me here…anymore,"
"The worst is over now
and we can breathe again," Konatsu sang,
"I wanna hold you high
you steal my pain away.
There's so much left to learn
and no one left to fight.
I wanna hold you high and steal your pain." She continued before Alice sang alongside her.
"'Cause I'm broken when I'm open
and I don't feel like I am strong enough.
'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away."
The band continued to play their instruments as the man narrowed his eyes and glared at them, "Azuki and Konatsu aren't glancing at Alice with a lustful look…maybe they have improved,"
"'Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
and I don't feel right when you're gone away." Konatsu and Alice sang before Alice finished with the final verse.
"You've gone away
you don't feel me here…anymore,"
The three stopped and looked up at the man as he sighed and stood up, "Well…I can tell you tree have improved greatly and Azuki and Konatsu have been focusing on the music rather than lusting after you, Alice…we'll be in touch," the three nodded before the four of them walked out of the room.

The Devi Dolls stood in front of the man as he sat down and took a deep breath, "Next band is the Devi Dolls, bandmates consist of Kuromu, Kari, Nee-San and Mononoke. Whenever you girls are ready," the four nodded as they played their instruments of choice before Kerori began singing.
"Mz. Hyde," the rhythm increased as the man listened to them.
"In the daylight
I'm your sweetheart
your goody-two-shoes prude is a work of art.
But you don't know me
and soon you won't forget
bad as can be
yeah you know I'm not so innocent!
Better beware I go bump in the night
Devil-may-care with a lust for life
and I know you (can't resist this)
You know you (so addicted)
Boy, you better run for your life!
Welcome to the nightmare in my head (Oh God)
Say hello to something scary
the monster in your bed (oh God)
Just give in and you won't be sorry.
Welcome to my other side
Hello, it's Mz. Hyde!"
The man leaned back in the chair and hummed to himself, "I'd normally escort them out of here for singing a loud and obnoxious song like this, but they make it work."
"I can be the bitch
I can play the whore
or your fairytale princess who could as for more.
A touch of wicked
a pinch of risqué
good girl gone bad
my poison is your remedy.
Better be scared, better be afraid
Now that the beast is out of her cage
And I know you (wanna risk it)
You know you (are so addicted)
Boy, you better run for your life!
Welcome to the nightmare in my head (oh God)
Say hello to something scary
The monster in your bed (oh God)
Just give in and you won't be sorry.
Welcome to my evil side.
Hello, it's Mz. Hyde!" the girls rhythm changed as the man arched a brow.
"Hello, it's Mz. Hyde!
Hello, it's Mz. Hyde!
I'm the spider crawling down your spine
underneath your skin.
I'll gently violate your mind
before I tuck you in.
Put on the blindfold
there's no way to be sure
Which girl you'll get tonight!
(it's me Lizzy, I swear)" the rhythm began to pick up again as the man wrote on the piece of paper in front of him.
"Welcome to the nightmare in my head (oh God)
say hello to something scary
The monster in your bed (oh God)
Just give in and you won't be sorry.
The nightmare in my head (oh God)
Say hello to something scary
the monster in your bed (oh God)
just give in and you won't be sorry
Welcome to my evil side
Hello, it's Mz. Hyde (Hello, it's Mz. Hyde)
Hello, it's Mz. Hyde (Hello, it's Mz. Hyde)
Mz. Hyde!" the song ended and Kerori panted as the four stared at the man behind the desk.
Standing up, the man sighed as he walked around his desk and shook his head, causing the bandmates to frown, "Normally I don't go for that kind of music and escort bands who play songs like that out of the building, but it worked for you four. You were amazing and we will be in touch with the Devi Dolls," the four smiled as they nodded before following the man out of the room.

The Demon Kings stood in front of the man as he sighed and looked through the papers in front of him, "Last band of the night is the Demon Kings, bandmates consist of Izama, Sabro, Shax and Jazz," he looked up and leaned forward, "Okay boys, whenever you're ready," playing their instrument of choice, the man sat back and crossed his arms as Iruma began singing.
"Marked for demolition, Im-
Just a timebomb ticking inside
No hope for the hopeless
I can see the pieces all laid out in front of me.
No point even asking why
Couldn't help even if you tried
Step aside or you might just be the next contestant
to feel the brutality.
Devastation, obliteration
Are all to the point of Exacerbation
There's no explaining my situation not
Why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now
will my inner strength get me through it somehow?
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender
I'll never be overcome,"
"Another heavy metal song?" the man sighed and shook his head, "I understand that the Demon Kings are a hardcore band…and at least I can understand them better than the Six Fingers…bunch of noisy heathens," he leaned back as the band continued.
"Too dark for forgiveness I-
Can't seem to do anything right.
When I try to rebuild, I see my humble shelter
just fall to the ground again!
Object of an evil eye
No point to let anyone try
Take heed, my friend lest you be torn asunder
Like all that's become of me!
Decimation, disintegration
Now beyond the point of imagination
there's no explaining my situation now
Why does this shit keep happening to me?
I've held on too long just to let it go now
Will my inner strength get me through it somehow?
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender
I'll never be overcome!" the band continued to play while the man inhaled slowly and wrote something on the piece of paper in front of him.
"I've held on too long just to let it go now
Will my inner strength get me through it somehow?
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender
I'll never be overcome!
I've held on too long just to let it go now
Will my inner strength get me through it somehow?
Defying the curse that has taken hold
Never surrender
I'll never be overcome!" the band soon stopped and panted as sweat ran down their faces.
The man sighed as he stood up and walked over to the four, "You kids have heart, that's for sure," he looked at them with slightly narrowed eyes, "And you four knew I threw the Six Fingers out for playing heavy metal," the four bandmates stared at him with blank expressions crossing their faces, "But…I was able to understand you, unlike them, and I can see you were passionate about your song. We'll keep in touch," the four nodded before they turned and walked out of the room.
The man sighed as he turned and walked back to his desk and looked down at the papers that littered it, "Lucky for all three bands, we don't have a limit this year, but I'll have to talk to everyone and see what they think about them. I don't want to crush any of their hopes and dreams, but this is what it takes to be in the business," he picked up the papers before he turned and walked out of the room, turning off the light and closing the door behind him.
This would've been out last sooner, but I was having some troubles picking the songs. Yes, there are two more bands in the mix and I needed to add Asmodeus eventually and thought now would be a perfect time. The Six Fingers didn't get a song, but if they did it probably would've been either Six or This Calling, both by All That Remains. Songs that were used are Broken by Seether feat. Amy Lee, Mz. Hyde by Halestorm and The Curse by Disturbed.
Anyway, enjoy.
