CHAPTER 34- THE ALLIANCES FALL APART

It had been 3 weeks since the percussionists' civil war. Since then things went from bad to worse. There had been more battles between fighting sections (at least 5 a day) so instruments had to continually be sent to the shop (the music department was $354378856565659484632000 in debt). Mr. Reiderer had given up on preserving peace throughout the band so he was letting everyone fight each other.

"HAHA DIIIIIIIIIIIIIIE!!!!!!!!!!!" the trumpet players yelled, chasing the flute and clarinet players and Jackie.

"AAAAAAAAAAAH!!!!" they yelled.

"Don't worry! We'll save you!" Jessica, Amanda and Christina said, chasing the trumpet players with their French horns.

"Get the percussionists!" Mike yelled to his fellow saxophone players. "CHARGE!"

The saxophone players and percussionists charged at each other. Katie, Meghan and Nicole seeing that the saxophone players were busy with the percussionists, decided to help the flutes and clarinets and Jackie and get the saxophone players later.

"Low brass players reek like feet!" Andy and Tim yelled at the trombone and baritone players.

"You shouldn't be talking you stupid tuba players!" a trombone player yelled, pushing his slide at Andy's knee.

"YYYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!!!" Andy yelled grabbing his knee and jumping up and down.

"This violence is disgraceful," the bass clarinetists said.

"You'll pay for that!" Tim yelled.

He charged the trombone and baritone players and attempted to whack all of them with his tuba. Despite numerous hits from trombone slides he managed to get 2 or 3. Meanwhile the trumpets were still chasing the flutes and clarinets and Jackie when they discovered that the French horns and bassoons were coming after them.

"Oh crap," the trumpet players yelled.

"HAHA!" the French horns and bassoons yelled.

"Wait what are you attacking us for?" Jon yelled.

"What?" Nicole asked.

"You heard me," said Jon.

"Well I'll give you 3 reasons why," said Meghan, "you're a trumpet player, you play the trumpet and you're stupid."

"You don't wanna attack us," another trumpet player said.

"And why not?" Amanda asked.

"Do you know what the flute and clarinet players really think of you French horn players?" Jon asked Christina, Jessica and Amanda.

"What?" they asked.

"They think that the French horn section doesn't try and is quite pitiful," said Jon.

"What?!" Amanda, Christina and Jessica yelled.

"What?" the flute and clarinet players and Jackie said.

"And it gets even better," said Jon, "Katie, Nicole and Meghan, do you know what they say about you guys?"

"They didn't say anything. You're making it up," said Katie.

"They said the band would sound a lot better if the bassoon section didn't honk like seals," said Jon.

"Ha-ha nice try," said Nicole.

"No we didn't," the flutes and clarinets and Jackie said.

"Don't listen to them. You heard what they said about the French horn players," another trumpet player said.

"We never said that! And even if we did we wouldn't say it out loud!" said Erica.

"So it's true then?" Christina yelled angrily.

"Well thinking it and saying it aren't the same thing," said Schellen.

"It doesn't matter!" Jessica yelled.

"This alliance is so over!" Christina yelled. "We'll deal with you later."

"But but but……." the flute and clarinet players and Jackie said.

"And Frenchies I head Meghan, Katie and Nicole talking and they were saying how they used you to get even with the saxophone players," said Jon.

"What?!" the French horn players yelled.

"That doesn't even make sense!" Nicole yelled.

"That's it! We're fighting solo and we're at war with all you guys!" Christina yelled.

"Fine. We'll kick your sorry buts to Canada," Meghan snapped.

"This is excellent," Jon said quietly to the other trumpet players. "Now watch me break another alliance."

"Oh boy," the other trumpet players said happily.

"And do you know what the flutes said about the clarinets?" Jon asked the clarinet players.

"No what?" the clarinet players asked.

"They said that there shouldn't even be a clarinet section cuz half of the clarinets can't play," he said.

"WHAT?" the clarinet players yelled.

"That's right," said Jon. "And flutes the clarinets said pretty much the same thing about you. And Jackie, you don't wanna know what all the sections in the alliance said about you."

The flutes, clarinets, Jackie, the French horns and bassoons started arguing with each other. Within 2 minutes the former allies were all attacking each other. The trumpet players laughed and walked away.

After Mike and the saxophone players lost a brutal battle with the percussionists they confronted Andy and Tim.

"Where were you guys?" Mike snapped.

"What?" said Andy.

"I thought you were our allies. You've never help us in any of our plights. This alliance is over," said Mike.

"That's not fair! We can't fight 2 battles at once," Tim whined.

"Too bad," a saxophone player said.

"Fine. If you won't fight with us, you'll fight against us!" Andy yelled. "DIE LOSERS!"

Andy and Tim charged at the saxophone players and fought a brutal battle.

By the end of the day all the existing alliances were broken and everyone decided it was every section for themselves. It would only be a matter of time before the battle to end all battles to happen.
