Alright so before this chapter starts, I want to apologize for taking so long to write this chapter and see which Darkstalker GhostGhod would meet next, a few people said either Felica or Lord Raptor, I originally did want to do Felica but I also wanted to do lord raptor thinking of the possibilities, It took me quite a bit of time to decide so I was like "Bunk it, just do both of them" lol. Anyways let's rock baby!
P.S. Once the battle is over play "Hail To the King" from Avenged Sevenfold. (First the beginning of the acapella version and after M. Shadows says "the king", play the actual version of the song and make a move from icon for hire.) I'll let you guys figure out why I chose that song after the chapter is over.
Also for the lord raptor fight just play bad from michael jackson
Preventing One Hell Of A Performance! GhostGhod Meets Felicia And Lord Raptor!
1 Day later after fighting Jon Talbain, GhostGhod wandered about in the gothic city trying to find something to keep him busy, until he saw a few flyers come from the sky and picked one up then started reading it. He then heard a voice from a train track that was moving to a nearby station but saw something else. looking more closely he then spotted something strange, a cat woman that was releasing the same flyers he had in his hand to everyone that was around the train track
Felicia: Come One Come All! Something Wonderful Comes This way! And have a Perrrrrrrfect Time At The Lovely Show From Lady Felicia! The Up And Coming Star Of The Musical World!
GhostGhod: looks at the flyer again and sees a picture of a cat lady and her singing …eh. What the hell? He says while folding the flyer up and putting it in his pocket then follows the train wherever it was going to stop
LATER
THE TRAIN STOPPED AT A NEARBY STATION AND FELICIA WALKS OUTSIDE IN ONE OF THE CARS LOOKING AT A PUBLIC PERFORMANCE LICENSE
Felicia: Ok I've got the public performance license for darkstalkers. Guess all I need now is a license for the human world. Felicia looks around and spots two cats Say, Do either of you know where the human world city hall is?
The cats meow in unison and point to the direction to where the human world city hall was
Before felicia could thank them a voice came from the shadows
?: Sounds like a good time. Mind if I tag along?
Felicia: her ears twitch a bit after hearing the voice and looks around to see where it came from W-who said that? Who's there?
?: comes from the shadows and reveals to be a young adult male with black and white hair, wearing a red and bright green flame themed leather coat, fingerless black gloves, ripped dark red slim jeans, black boots and a dog tag that had a Ghost skull as its emblem was around his neck.
Hello there! He says while waving at felicia and walking over to her
Felicia: sees the young man and tries to hide her blush after noticing his coat wasn't zipped up exposing his upper body O-Oh. H-Hello There! She says while waving back Who are you?
?: stops right in front of the train car felicia was standing in and introduced himself My name's Khalil Dante, but you can call me by my stage name if you want, it's "GhostGhod".
Felicia: Stage name? I guess you're a performer too?
Khalil Dante: Yeah, I am. I'm an up and coming music artist like you.
Felicia: Oh really?! That's Nice!
Khalil: yeah! So are we good to go or what?
Felicia: "Good to go"? What do you mean?
Khalil: What I mean is we should be a duet.
Felicia: A Duet? I'm… I'm not sure.
Khalil: Come on, it'll be awesome. Trust me. I'll even be an opening act and then we can sing together. What do you say?
Felicia: Well…Okay!
Khalil: Awesome! Khalil then walks away to get his guitar and comes back with it alright let's go!
Later Khalil And Felicia make their way to a performing arts hall after getting the license for humans and darkstalkers. But on the way there a strange green light was illuminated brightly around the part of the city felicia and khalil was in and khalil sees felicia slowing down then turns around and sees the green light.
Felicia: Walks over to a brick wall and breathes as if the air had gotten thicker
Khalil: walks over to her Hey, you ok Felicia?
Felicia: wha- what's that smell? Felicia then looks up at the green light
this town smells all wrong!
Khalil: "yeah, she's not wrong. I can sense an evil presence nearby."
Come on, helps her on her feet. Weneed to get moving.
MEANWHILE
A DEMONIC LOOKING CAR DRIVES DOWN THE ROAD AT HIGH SPEED MAKING ITS WAY TO A CONCERT, THIS CAR BELONGED TO A "BELOVED" AND "WORSHIPED" AUSTRALIAN ROCKSTAR THAT WENT BY THE NAME OF "ZABEL ZAROCK". ZABEL PARKED THE CAR IN FRONT OF HIS ADORING FANS AND HOPPED OUT OF THE CAR AND WALKED TO THE ENTRANCE OF THE PERFORMING HALL AS HIS FANS WERE CHEERING HIM ON AND HE GAVE THEM A THUMBS UP.
Zabel Zarock: Hehe How's it going mates? Hey, you want to see a real show, show me the freaking money and come on in! He says and then chuckles to himself walks into the performing arts hall
HOWEVER AS THE CROWD CHEERED ON THE ROCKSTAR, IN THE SHADOWS HOODED HUNTERS THAT KNEW OF HIS REAL SELF WERE WAITING FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT TO STRIKE AT HIM.
INSIDE THE PERFORMING HALL
ZABEL ZAROCK WALKS INSIDE THE PERFORMING HALL THEN SEES FELICIA FALL DOWN SOME STAIRS LEADING TO THE SAME HALLWAY ZABEL ZAROCK WAS IN BUT ALSO SPOTTED KHALIL TRYING TO PICK HER UP AND STOPPED IN FRONT OF THEM.
Zabel Zarock: hmm? Aw what's the matter pussycat? I don't do autographs 'til after the show. Heh 'Course, that's assuming you'll still be able to walk after my performance.
Felicia: Y-You're one of the dark ones aren't you? Felicia says while glancing at lord raptor I can tell from the smell.
Zabel Zarock: Oh, we don't say " Dark ones" anymore. The politically correct term's "Darkstalkers".
Khalil: "Huh. would've guessed he was the one I was sensing earlier. I'm just a bit surprised that it's lord raptor." Also "Darkstalkers"? Sounds like a 90s reject group of Monster archetypes that never made it. Breaks the 4th wall and smirks at the viewer
Zabel Zarock: Oh? What And Who're you supposed to be new blood? He says glaring at khalil
Khalil: The Name's Dante, Khalil Dante. And what I am is need-to-know, and you don't need to know that.
Before zabel could retort, felicia walked over to a wall and turns back around facing Khalil and Zabel
Felicia: pant This-This town smells all wrong. My senses are a mess. Something bad's about to happen, I can smell it in the air! Felicia says as zabel walks over to a mirror taking off his coat
Zabel Zarock: smell? He says while opening a curtain and looks at his zombie reflection heh. I don't smell a damn thing. He says while smiling at his reflection and scratching his nose while his reflection grows a cartoonishly big nose and pops then looks back at felicia and khalil
Felicia: wipes her forehead I just think you should be careful. Something's gonna happen, I know it.
Zabel Zarock: Oh You're damn right something's gonna happen, I'm playing tonight aren't I? Zabel then picks up his guitar and plays a sick riff.
I put out for them with my music, they put out a bit of their souls for me. A fair inequitable business arrangement if you ask me.
Khalil: looks at Lord Raptor after hearing what he said and only has one thought on him, "Hell No! He's Dead Meat!" But had to wait for the right time to attack lord raptor and prevent one hell of a performance.
LATER
The Concert was beginning with lord raptor first, him thinking he'll just steal the show and perform even if that meant felicia and khalil wouldn't get a chance to perform their songs, the lights came on and reveals a short one-eyed demon named Le Malta: an ally of lord raptor on the drums, and lord raptor himself on the guitar ready to bring the house down as he plays a riff on his guitar and confetti shoots out of the stage
Zabel Zarock: ARE YOU READY TO ROCK?!
He asks but hears no cheering from the crowd and looks down only to see the brown of hunters scattered across the audience.
Zabel Zarock: Bloody hell heh, this crowd's so dead it's starting to attract flies. He says while glaring into the crowd then catches a whiff of something. It's a bad smell like…Garlic. He says hinting that the hunters have garlic in their inventory, then hears them loading guns Ooh, heh silver bullets. But that crap don't affect me none.
He confidently says while the hunters space out and bring out a new weapon, A Flamethrower…or Three Flamethrowers!
Zabel Zarock: Now Flamethrowers on the other hand… Oh that's fine with me, looks like it's time to roast or be roasted! He said and twirled his guitar in the air three times then bringing it back down and strumming a few cords and unleashing his real power as well as his true self.
Lord Raptor: WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAUUUUUUUUGH! He screams in dominance and laughs evilly then begins playing his guitar.
As lord raptor continues his riff, the hunters with the flamethrowers fire at lord raptor, lord raptor manages to dodge the fire but gets his guitar knocked out of his hand because of him trying to block fire that was aimed right at his face
Lord Raptor: Not bad for a bunch of holy rollers. He says while dodging more flames coming at him from the hunters.
As he was dodging the fire, a duo of hunters took aim at him ready to shoot him but before their shots could be taken felicia stepped in and bailed him out of the fire by knocking down one of the hunters that were aiming at lord raptor and does a downward kick on the other the tops it off by doing her special rolling uppercut move to takedown the second one, unfortunately she felt a bit fatigued after doing that and was brought into a corner surrounded by a few more hunters
Hunter: There's another of 'em! Burn it! One of the hunters said as they closed in on her
Lord Raptor: sees her get cornered but sees another torrent of flames directed at him and dodges it You Ok over there?! He says but then gets hit with a full torrent from a flame thrower, burning him alive.
Three more hunters fire at lord raptor and just as the flames were about to touch him, Khalil jumped in and took down two of the hunters with a single kick. But Khalil was dressed…differently now. Instead of wearing his red and green overcoat and red pants, he was now in an overcoat that was mostly white but red at the bottom and where the zipper was located.
Mostly black pants with some red on the outside of the pants and his belt was white in ghostly lightning spelling "GG", A Dark red shit, Black and red gloves, and boots that were mostly red but the bottom and sides of the boots were white and sporting a face mask with a skull on it.
GhostGhod: Mind if I join this dance? He says then sees felicia get with a shot from a flamethrower and falling off the stage then get surrounded by four hunters that were all aiming at her
Before GhostGhod could do anything a dark voice filled the air and this was from lord raptor who was still consumed by flames yet acted as if they did not hurt
Lord Raptor: No Mercy for women and furry animals, is that it? Lord Raptor said causing the hunters that burned him to look in fear as the fire that engulfed him quickly dispersed and a demonic aura surrounded lord raptor
For a bunch of hunts, you sure got some nasty habits in dark arts. I Like It! Oh, when it comes to feasting on souls I always did prefer dark meat! With a sadistic look in his eyes his aura dispersed and looked at the hunters
HERE I COME BABY!
The Hunters all gasped and ran away to the nearest exit hoping to get away from lord raptor but lord raptor appeared in front of them preventing their escape
Lord Raptor: rises above the ground while spinning his legs like helicopter blades Aw, show ain't over yet. DON'T YOU WANNA BUY A T-SHIRT?! He then uses his death voltage move to steal the souls of the hunters leaving their bodies as still husks. Lord raptor then lands back on the ground and looks back to felicia and ghostghod
Whadya say, kitty cat? You want that I should save you two a couple of souls?
Felicia: Thanks for the offer but, I'm not much for organized religion. She said in an exhausted tone
GhostGhod: None for me thanks. I'm saving my energy for the real party! In an anxious tone he looks at lord raptor as if he was ready to fight
Lord Raptor: does an evil chuckle I'm kinda numb to nomination all myself! Lord raptor says as he does a metal screech again and begins to feast on the souls of the hunters
After he was done, GhostGhod then charged at him with a flying attack and brought him down at a nearby graveyard
Lord Raptor: Hey! What's the big idea mate?! Didn't have enough fun with the hunts? Lord raptor said looking at GhostGhod with a sinister glare
GhostGhod: ignores the glare and gives him one back with so much intensity that his eyes glew white As much fun you are lord raptor. I can't have you taking the souls of the innocent through music! What kinda person would I be if I let that happen?! He said smirking at the zombified rock star
Lord Raptor: Well, Ain't gonna let you stop me runt! But if it's a party you want…he says as le malta appeared next to him and he summons his guitar and strummed a chord I'LL GIVE YA ONE!
GhostGhod: Then Let's Rock Baby! He says as his hand smocked then lit up with red ecto energy
As the two exchanged their words they both charged at each other and their fight began (now you can play Michael Jackson Bad as they fight)
Their Fight began with intense movements and with an insane barrage of attacks. GhostGhod was faster than lord raptor and probed to have more strength, but that wouldn't prove much if he fought carelessly. As the fight continued, GhostGhod saw that lord raptor wasn't like fighting someone like Jon Talbain or like a regular zombie, this one was crazy, allusive, unpredictable, and bizarre. GhostGhod had to be more cautious with fighting lord raptor, especially since lord raptor had his guitar as a weapon and was using his body and bones as weapons too.
GhostGhod: gains a bit of distance from lord raptor and tries to catch his breath I gotta say, you sure are a nutjob for a zombie! Never expected one to use its own body as a weapon! He said staring at lord raptor and getting back into his fighting stance
Lord Raptor: Hehe! And for a ghost you sure are solid! All the more fun to put down! And if you think I'm crazy now, You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet! Lord raptor says as he hopped in the air and formed his lower body into the structure of a drill sending himself towards ghostghods direction doing his loudness screw move
GhostGhod: WHOA! Sees the attack coming at crazy speed and narrowly dodges it, almost getting hit from the attack.
As Ghost was about to get back into his fighting stance he was met with a low punch to his legs and a mid and low kick, all of which he dodged with ease but was taken by surprise after going for a punch of his own seeing lord raptor back up a bit and spin his body around as boney spikes poked out of him and went straight for ghost again. This time connecting, cutting and knocking ghost back.
GhostGhod:ARGH! "Yeah, This is DEFINITELY a far cry from fighting someone like talbain! Guess I don't need to pull any punches with this one!" GhostGhod thought to himself as his injury healed and he got on his feet ready to fight with his own crazy moves only to find lord raptor nowhere to be seen
Lord Raptor: Looking For Someone? Lord raptor said as he appeared behind ghostghod after using his hell's gate move and was doing an aerial attack with his skull sting move down on ghostghod screaming BEAT IT!
GhostGhod: You First! GhostGhod said dodging raptor's move and dealing his own blows on raptor himself.
GhostGhod gets Lord Raptor in a devastating combination attack and finishes it off by karate chopping raptor's neck, kneeing him in the chin causing raptor's upper body to move upward and finishes it off with a painful elbow to his lower back. As Ghost was about to stomp on raptors head, raptor teleported away and gained some distance from ghost
Lord Raptor: Ok. Pant you're good when it's a fist fight Pant But Let's see you handle this one! He says while pulling out his guitar and seeing ghostghod charging at him ready to punch raptor.
Once GhostGhod got close enough to strike at Lord Raptor, raptor was ready to deflect his strike with a strum of his guitar he used his death phrase move, blasting ghostghod away from him causing ghostghod to hit the ground, as ghost was attempting to get up, raptor did his evil scream move on ghost, making one of his bones to hit ghosts arms and bringing ghostghod to him, and topping the move off by making his fingers into bone claws that gave out an electric charge and clawing ghostghod causing him to go flying and hitting a nearby gravestone.
GhostGhod: Gets up and gets back into his fighting stance That all ya got?! You rotting slack-jawed maggot bag!
Lord Raptor: Alright tough guy! Looks at le malta who was watching the entire fight go on and gives him a wink, COME ON!
GhostGhod runs to lord raptor then out of nowhere gets turned into a basketball and lord raptor picks him up and dunks into le malta, who turned himself into a basketball court. Lord raptor then hopped up in the air and dunked ghostghod into le malta hoop and backed up away from le malta as le malta returned to his original form.
Lord Raptor: Hehehehe! I'M BAD! Looks at ghostghod How's that?
GhostGhod: returns to his normal form woah! What the hell was that?!
Lord Raptor: …That…was supposed to end you.
GhostGhod: Well, nice try but no luck! Fires red ghost beams at lord raptors torso and rushes towards him and tosses him into a gravestone
Lord Raptor: ARGH! Gets up, that's all you got?!
Lord Raptor Spits out blood and pulls out his guitar again and does his death phrase move again and turns up the volume enough to try and blow away ghostghod, but ghostghod manages to stand his ground and returns to the death phrase with his own move; The Reaper Shriek. Powerful scream that took elements of his ghostly powers and a power shriek and mixed them together times 100. The two attacks were devastating and caused a massive shockwave around the area where GhostGhod and Lord Raptor were standing and when the dust had settled, lord raptor's head was seen in the graveyard and le malta was next to it.
GhostGhod: Who's Bad now? Worm bait. Ghost says to lord raptors head as he leaves the area and flew back to the performing center.
BACK AT THE PERFORMING CENTER
As GhostGhod and Lord Raptor were fighting it out in a graveyard, Felicia managed to convince the crowds of people that were all there earlier waiting for lord raptor to perform that there had been a change of plans and that there would be an opening act and a different act then him, that's when ghost had came back and noticed the humans had come back ready for a performance
WITH FELICIA
Felicia: Come on! Come on! Where is he? She says while pacing back and forth until she gets a pat on her shoulder and sees ghostghod, Where were you?!
GhostGhod: I was dealing with lord raptor but I didn't want anyone to get hurt in the process. and he was pretty difficult to put down.
Felicia: Well I hope you did. Now we have a crowd of people waiting for a show.
GhostGhod: Don't worry kittycat. He says getting out of his ghost form and back to his rockstar outfit I'll handle it. Picks up guitar and gives her a wink and a notebook of a song that he wanted to perform with her.
Felicia: shows a blush but stops him W-wait! You don't have a full band.
Khalil: looks back at felicia with his eyes glowing white The hell I don't!
IN THE CROWD PEOPLE WERE QUESTIONING WHO WAS GOING TO BE PERFORMING UNTIL THE LIGHTS WENT OUT MAKING THE PLACE COMPLETELY DARK UNTIL A GROUP OF CLOAKED MEMBERS OF A BAND WERE SPREAD OUT, ONE WITH DRUMS, TWO WITH BASSES AND TWO WITH GUITARS, KHALIL BEING ONE OF THE GUITARISTS AND ON THE MIC. AS THE STAGE WAS RISING FROM THE LOWER GROUND KHALIL WAS SINGING GETTING EVERYONE'S ATTENTION IN THE CROWD. (ok now play the acapella version of hail to the king then after says the king, switch to the real version of the song)
Khalil: Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head! Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid! Children roam the streets now orphans of war!
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore! Royal flames will carve the path in chaos Bringing daylight to the night Death is riding into town with armor
They've come to take all your rights! Khalil then uses his reaper shriek ability to duplicate voice making it seem like the other members were singing with him
Hail to the king! Hail to the one! Kneel to the crown! Stand in the sun! Hail to the king! Hail, Hail, Hail!
THE STAGE COULD NOW BE SEEN FOR THE CROWD AND THE BAND MEMBERS AND KHALIL COULD BE SEEN AS WELL
Khalil: The King!
After saying this Khalil starts playing his guitar, then the other members started playing with him, making the crowd go crazy as they cheered for more. As the band played, Khalil began singing again and this time from beginning to end.
Khalil: Watch your tongue or have it cut from your head! Save your life by keeping whispers unsaid! Children roam the streets now orphans of war!
Bodies hanging in the streets to adore! Royal flames will carve the path in chaos, Bringing daylight to the night Death is riding into town with armor,
They've come to take all your rights! Hail to the king! Hail to the one! Kneel to the crown! Stand in the sun! Hail to the king! Hail, Hail, Hail! The King!
Blood is spilled while holding keys to the throne! Born again but it's too late to atone! No mercy from the edge of the blade! Dare escape and learn the price to be paid! Let the water flow with shades of red now, Arrows black out all the Light! Light! Death is riding into town with armor, They've come to grant you your riiiiights! Hail to the king! Hail to the one! Kneel to the crown! Stand in the sun! Hail to the king! Hail, Hail, Hail! The King!
Khalil then does a guitar solo, as he was doing this the crowd began cheering his name and this caused him to erupt with green flames, making it look like the stage had pyrotechnics, then he continued playing his guitar solo. After his solo he went back to singing, but what he didn't expect was the crowd chanting hail while he was singing.
Khalil: There's a taste of fear Hail, hail, hail ,When the henchmen call! Hail, hail, hail! Iron fist to tame themHail, hail, hail!Iron fist to claim it alllllll!
Hail to the king! Hail to the one! Kneel to the crown! Stand in the sun! Hail to the king! Hail, Hail, Hail! The King! Hail to the king! Hail to the one! Kneel to the crown! Stand in the suuuun! Hail to the king! Hail, Hail, Hail!
The song ended and the crowd all applauded as Ghost signaled felicia to come to the stage to perform their song.
Khalil: Show's not over yet! Time for the main event! He says as felicia took the microphone and started to singing
Felicia: winks at ghost and turns to the crowd and starts singing as the band began to play again
Somebody make a move, Somebody make a move!
Please somebody!
Test my reality
Check if there's a weak spot
Clinging' to insanity
In hopes the world will ease up
Try to make it look like it's all somehow getting better
'Cause I know how to play it pretty good against the measure, Everyone started out a little insane, But we learn pretty quick how to fake it for the game, But some of you never learned to drop the act So under that skin of yours: A heart attack!
'Cause everybody's so scared
We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move
We got all our lives to lose
Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play along
Like I don't know what's going on Somebody make a move Somebody make a move Please somebody make a move We all know
We all know what's going on!
The Crowd All cheer as felicia kept singing with khalil at her side
Felicia: And if I had the answers I'd have written them out, So I can tell you what to do and what this thing is about, But all I've ever learned comes second-hand And I dare not preach what I don't understand!
You and I; we share the same disease, Cover up; compromise what we grieve! I've let more than my share of revivals die, This isn't pretty but it's what I am tonight
'Cause everybody's so scared, We don't wanna go there, We don't wanna make a move, We got all our lives to lose! Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out, I play along Like I don't know what's going on! Somebody make a move, Somebody make a move, Please somebody make a move! We all know We all know what's going on!
Pointing my fingers, the problems still linger! They keep getting bigger and I hold the trigger! Running with fire, I live like a liar, Please somebody make a move!
The Crowd cheered even more but now khalil wanted to sing with felicia and grabbed a spare microphone, surprising felicia as she heard his voice.
Khalil: Somebody make a move
Felicia: I'm pointing my fingers
Khalil: Somebody make a move
Felicia: The problems still linger
Khalil: Somebody make a move
Felicia: I'm pointing my fingers, Somebody make a move!
'Cause everybody's so scared, We don't wanna go there, We don't wanna make a move. Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out
I play alooooong! 'Cause everybody's so scared, We don't wanna go there
We don't wanna make a move, We got all our lives to lose! Screaming in the dark while we just play our part out, I play along Like I don't know what's going on! Somebody make a move, Somebody make a move, Please somebody make a move! We all know, We all know what's going on!
The Song ended and Khalil and Felicia bowed their heads as people cheered Their names.
AFTER THE SHOW KHALIL AND FELICIA HUNG OUT AT THE TRAIN STATION AGAIN AND GOT TO KNOW EACH OTHER A BIT MORE
Felicia: Oh, So you're a half ghost half human? No wonder your hair looks like that. Pointing at khalil's black and white hair color I'll say this tho, I've never met someone with your kind of ability before. You're very impressive!
Khalil: Thanks! You are too. Never thought a cat lady would be so deadly in the arena.
Felicia: pouts a little at the cat lady remark It's catwoman. And even cats need to know a little martial arts these days.
Khalil: Heh. yeah, I guess so.
Felicia: So… will you come on the road with me? I'm positive that we'd be an inspiring act!
Khalil: …Nah. I've got other things I want to see in this city unfortunately. He says as he picked up his guitar and went into his ghost form again and flew above Felicia and saluted her Bye Felicia! Flies away
Felicia: …Sigh He's a badass, but at least he has a heart. Don't you think? Looking at a couple cats who meow in agreement
AND CUT! THAT'S IT FOR THE FELICIA AND LORD RAPTOR CHAPTER GUYS. LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU GUYS THINK. (and my apologies for taking a while with this. I had no idea how to write this but eventually got it)
YEAH I KNOW GHOSTGHOD AND FELICIA DIDN'T FIGHT EACH OTHER BUT THEY WILL IN A FUTURE CHAPTER. FOR NOW BE READY FOR GHOSTGHOD TO BATTLE AGAINST BISHAMON, NEXT TIME ON GHOSTGHOD MEETS THE DARKSTALKERS!
