Author's Note: Guess what everyone… it's the chapter before the competition! This is when everyone prepares themselves and then next chapter… it's off! It's the first chapter where the competition actually takes place! How exciting, yeah?… I did it again didn't I? Oh well. I want to thank The Zelda Master for the cool review. And 'Master' (if I can call you that) I want to say you've got a funny-as-hell story too. Everyone who hasn't checked out Warrior Island, which is also an SC2 comedy, should check it out. Depends on who ya' are, but his may be funnier. Depends on the critics. Well Spawn, Yung Sung, and Assassin seem to have formed a formidable band for our heroes, and they still have to worry about Nightmare, Astaroth, Ivy, and this mystery bassist, who seem to be the biggest challenge. Mitsurugi may hold a threat in the end, who knows? I also took the liberty of making a chart that will explain the bands and who're in them. The only I don't think we will have to worry about are Cervantes and Magicka (no kidding why). Well here we are with chapter 5 and the chart!
The Warriors of Soul = Kilik, Xianghua, Maxi, Link, and Yoshimitsu. Our heroes.
Demonic Pledge = Nightmare, Astaroth, Ivy, and ???. Our hero's worst enemies.
LugNuts = Mitsurugi, Taki, Voldo, Lizardman, Berserker, and Charade. The country group.
Ryu-Kishin = Spawn, Yung Sung, and Assassin. The mysterious group that MAY come out to be a bigger problem than Demonic Pledge.
Cervantes and The Boy = Cervantes and Magicka. Nothing to worry about, no true competition. Rumor says they may recruit some else.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Tensions rose as the crowd cheered, awaiting for the first performance. Everyone had gathered at the Athens's theatre where our heroes had been not more than a week ago. Everyone in the Demonic pledge were waiting at their own leisure. Most of them that is, the bassist still hadn't shown up. The Warriors of Soul were all talking to one another deciding on the competition, except Link, who was leaning against the wall with his eyes closed. The members of Ryu-Kishin were standing in the far corner of the backstage, covered in mostly shade, and were staring at Cervantes and Magicka. The members of LugNuts were all playing cards on the floor except Mitsurugi, who happened to be staring at The Warriors of Soul saying things under his breath like, "Bunch of people with silly names", and "Yes, they do have silly names, yes, they do, yes." And last and probably least were Cervantes and The Boy, who were in fact Cervantes and the boy. "What are they up to anyway?" Yung Sung asked himself.
~*^*~
Magicka looked at Cervantes's face from across his own in their huddle "What are we to do Cervantes?" Cervantes looked to his apprentice and simply laughed "What else? It is the battle of the bands after all. When I give the signal, we attack!" Magicka looked to his master "You are ever so wise Cervantes." Cervantes then replied proudly "Yes, yes, I know." he then reminded, "Remember… on my signal." The two then nodded before yelling "Break" and hitting each other's heads like the football players before falling down.
~*^*~
"Ok guys, when we get up there, I think it is our final decision, to play our song 'The Deed is Done and the Spirit is Gone'." announced Maxi to the other four members of the band. Everyone nodded in agreement, except Link, as he was now asleep against the wall. Smiling, Xianghua crept over to Link and tapped him on the shoulder, whispering in his ear "Linky, wakey time…" Her expression the changed to malice as she screamed into his ear "LINK, HEY! WAKE YOUR ASS!" Link then yelled awake and hit the ceiling… literally. Everything above his waist was clear through the roof.
"Oy! Samuel, oo' that be?" as an old British man with a comb mustache came out of his recliner and stood next Link's head, drinking tea in his pajamas and velvet, purple robe. A second one came over, looking almost identical except for his green velvet robe and bush mustache, "Blimey, an' crock a pot Johnson! Smashing, another mate to share a spot of tea with… but shat! He came through the grummy like a rifle!" Johnson (the first British guy) then replied "My feck! That WAS smashing how that suddenly 'appened, but look at the mess the chap made!" Samuel then replied "Yes, yes, well bother with that! Pip pip, want some tea?" As Link happily nodded.
Kilik, Maxi, and Yoshimitsu came through the door as the two old men were in their recliners around Link, having a conversation as Link just listened on happy with the tea and talk. "He's with some British 'mun!" Kilik and Maxi then looked at Yoshimitsu uncertainly as then Kilik asked "England's real? I thought it only existed in fairy tales!" Yoshimitsu then replied "No, no, I assure you, it's quite real." Kilik and Maxi were obviously shocked at this. "Wow… oh well time to go Link!" As the two old guys then jumped up, doing several back flips "Our guest shall go nowhere with you chaps!" Johnson said. As Samuel then pulled out a claymore and Johnson unsheathed a flambert. "Oh boy…" said Maxi as Yoshimitsu took out the Yoshimitsu, Kilik took out the Kali-Yuga, and Maxi took out the Soryuju.
~*^*~
The members of Demonic Pledge simply looked at each other and did not much of anything. Ivy finally spoke out "Why is it taking so long?" Nightmare sharply replied "It's the damned music committee, after this, I say we beat the shit out of them." The two other than Nightmare simply stated "Agreed." Astaroth then looked to Ivy "Ivy? What are you anyways, good or evil?" She then looked top him and replied "I'm too much of a sadistic psycho bitch to know, myself." Astaroth then grunted "Fair enough."
~*^*~
The three in Ryu-Kishin looked around at the competition. Yung Sung was reading a Todd McFarlane comic of Ozzy Osbourne, as others were littered on the floor below him like Spawn, Kiss Psycho Circus, Hellspawn, etc. Spawn was fairly interested at what was happening with Link, and listening to the clashes of steel and grunts of pain coming from upstairs. Assassin was sitting on the ground polishing his sword. Not much to do when your overconfident. "Don't even start that" sighed off Assassin.
And yet again, this is where I cut them off.
Well guys, it wasn't the best chapter, but it was important for the story… sort of. Anyways, on with the competition right? Next time on
