"Argh! What's up this?! Where's the show!!!" Tyson pulled at his hair, going crazy in his seat. Max mumbled curses under his breath, while Kenny typed busily away on his laptop.

"Where's Rei?" A soft worried voice whispered. The bluenette peered beside him to the 'Pink Freak' and rolled his eyes, arms remaining crossed. 'Where the hell's the show? I got better things to do.' He sneered, Mariah caught sight to this. She stuck her tongue out at him and hissed, recieving a trademark glare that shrunk her back immediately.

Kai smirked triumphantly, looking back to the ghostly stage, draped in white lights and gray mists. Whoever was performing, this had better be worth it.

"Dammit, Kay better get here soon. The audience is going crazy, and not in a good way." Ian grumbled, playing idle chords across the bass. The red head shook his head, firey brows shifting slowly in thought.

"He better get here or I'll-" The muscular blonde was cut off when the back door suddenly swung opened, sunny rays cascading inward, casting a long shadow from the figure that stood in the doorway. Panting heavily, the form shuffles forward with another on its back.

"Kay?" Ian tilted his head in slight curiosity, approaching the shuffling figure before freezing in place with a silent gasp. He watched as they came into one of the stage lights... revealing, a girl?

One look in the soft sapphire eyes, and the boys gasped in unison. "You're... a girl?" Spencer started stammering, almost outraged before Tala cut him off. "Never mind that. We have a show to do... you going to be okay, Kay?" Metallic eyes trailed to sapphire, staring for a moment. Kay nodded, settling the unconcious neko-jin onto a chair in the backstage. "He'll be alright, just fell unconcious after our battle. But, right now we gotta show to do."

With a heavy sigh, she strides forward to the microphone, looking back to the three boys who were still dumbfounded. "Guys?"

"Yeah, let's do this..."

"Right behind you."

A nod.

Kay managed a smile before looking back to the velvety curtains, the only thing drawing between them and their audience.

Hands firmly gripped around the microphone that stood before Kay's face. With a sigh, metallic eyes wandered beside her to Ian and Spencer who appeared calm; their heads down and eyes shut, a peaceful expression their faces. She looked behind him towards Tala, and met the same metallic eyes. A faint blush appeared across Kay's face as she immediately turned back around, sighing again. With a shake of her head, a slightly trembling hand racks across slate tresses. "Right."

With a signal from Tala, the curtains began pulling. Sheets of velvet layered over to the edges. Four shadowy forms draped in white light, their heads lowered.

People cheered.

"Yeah, whoo!" Tyson cried out, waving his fist in the air. Max waved both of his hands together, and Rei still remaining unconcious backstage. The lone leader, raised his eyes; garnet pools wavering over the figures on the stage.

Members looked up one at a time, an unreadable look on their faces. Three of the Bladebreakers gasped at the sight, while Kai gave an unreadable look.

"It's.Tala! And Ian! And two other dudes!" Tyson blabbed out, staring with curious eyes. The blonde beside him wondered the same thing as well as the Chief. Kai 'Hmphed'. A feedback screeched from the microphone, catching the gang's attention. 'Wait a minute... the singer's a girl?' Kai took a double take, his brows raising.
