(To warn everybody, this is a repost of CH2. I don't own any of these characters except for Steve, Mary, Neko, Lady, Sorrow, and Nightmare. Everyone else belongs to Capcom)
The club was fabulous; the carpets were a mix of red and blue, the walls were painted a dark gold color, the tables were made of pure silver and glass, there was a fountain at the entrance to the main room, and to top it all off, a huge stage with a karaoke machine in the middle.
Alia: "This place is beautiful."
Everyone: "Yea."
Waiter: "How many in your party?"
Zero " Six people."
Waiter: nod "Follow me"
The waiter showed them to their table and left. The girls gossiped about what was happening in the world while the guys just sat there until Axl broke the silence.
Axl: "So….what happens now?"
And, if you speak of the devil he may appear. Because just as Axl said that line, one of the staff members walks out onto the stage.
Member: "Hello everyone"
This grabs everyone's attention.
Steve: "Welcome to the club, my name is Steve and since it's Wednesday night, I'll be the host for the karaoke contest."
As Steve starts explaining the rules, the waiter comes back to take the Hunters drink order. The waiter had Dark Necrobat's legs and wings, but the main body was human. The arms looked human except the hands were skeletal and the nails were a little long and sharp.
Sorrow: "Hello, my name is Sorrow and I'll be your waiter tonight, what will you gentlemen and ladies have?
Alia: "I'll have a Shirley Temple."
Pallette: "Coke please."
Layer: "I'll take some scotch."
Sorrow turned to the men.
Sorrow: "And you, gentlemen?"
Axl: "I'll have a sprite."
Zero: "A glass of Vodka."
X: " Water please."
Sorrow scribbled down the order and walked away just as Steve walked out on stage.
Steve: "The karaoke contest is about to begin, to those who want to participate, come up to the stage now and write down your name and the name of the song you will sing and place it this bowl."
Many people, even Zero and X, went and signed up for the contest. After an hour or so, Steve was back up on stage announcing the order of the people he randomly chose from the bowl.
Steve: "This is the order of people that I randomly selected for the contest."
Zero
Sorrow & Mary
Neko
Alia
Axl
X
Layer
Nightmare
9. Lady
Steve: "Mr. Zero, will you please come up here?"
Zero made his way to and up the stage and when he got to the center, Steve explained how to set the music and ask what song he was going to use. Zero whispered the song to him and Steve walked off the stage-leaving Zero with the mic.
Zero: "Before I begin, I'd like to dedicate this song to a loved one that I lost a long time back."
Just then, the room got darker and a single light was shinning only on Zero. Sad music started from the machine when Zero grasped the microphone in his hands.
(The Song is "Remember When It Rained" by Josh Groban)
"Wash away the thoughts inside,
That keep my mind away from you.
No more love and no more pride And thoughts are all I have to do"
"Oooooooooo…Remember when it rained,
I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name!
Oooooooooo…Remember when it rained,
In the darkness I remain."
"Tears of hope run down my skin.
Tears for you that will not dry.
They magnify the one within,
And let the outside slowly die."
"Oooooooooo…Remember when it rained,
I felt the ground and looked up high and called your name!
Oooooooooo…Remember when it rained,
In the water I remain,"
"Running down…"
"Running down…"
"RUNNING DOWN…"
"RUNNING DOWN…"
When there was the pause for the short piano solo, almost everyone had tears in their eyes from the beautiful music and Zero's singing. Many people were actually talking about the song.
Layer: "That's amazing."
Pallette: "So beautiful, I think I'm crying."
Sorrow: "sniff Reminds me about my girlfriend when I lost her."
X: "I didn't know Zero could sing though."
The solo ended after a minute and Zero sung his heart out right there and now with tears in his own eyes as well
"Ooooooh, OOOOOOOOOOH!"
"Ooooh, Oooh, OOOOOOOOOOOOOOH!"
"Oooooh, OOOOOOOOOOH!"
"RUNNING DOOOOOOOWWWWWWNNN!..."
The song started to slowly fade into the room and Zero wiped his eyes as soon as he was done singing. The crowd's applause sounded like hard rain coming down on cement because his singing had moved them while some were blowing their noses from the crying.
Steve: "Thank you Mr. Zero for the wonderful music and in a few moments the next song shall begin."
Words from the Author:
If you liked this, just wait till the rest come. I need more music from you people if you want me to continue. I just need the song's name and lyrics so I can post it in my next chapter. Till then, please review.
