The final chapter of The Demon Within Season One is now underway! With the help of one reviewer, I thought of something that the gang can do. I'll leave out the bad stuff, so don't get made at me! Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I own the story and my OC, but not Yu-Gi-Oh, or "Down With the Sickness". Disturbed and Kazuki Takahashi own them. Thank you.
-Domino Stadium-
Yami fell back onto one of the bleachers, his eyes closed, deep in thought. His demon side was gone, but for how long? Was he truly gone from the Earth, or was all that madness just a…diversion? Was someone planning something more threatening to do to his friends? Whatever it was, he knew that he and the other Protectors had to stop it. Kairi came up beside him, carrying a black and red electric guitar.
"Hey, is something wrong?" she asked as she began to tune the instrument. Yami shook his head heavily while staring at the guitar. He suddenly stood up, racing towards the stage.
"What's with him?" Joey asked, coming up behind Kairi, also holding an instrument: his drumsticks. Kairi shrugged as she saw Yami scan some lyrics, his indigo eyes moving swiftly across the page. He then motioned the others to join him as Brian came out from backstage, holding a bass guitar. They huddled together, and Yami began whispering. The others nodded in agreement, and they broke away as Brian began to set up microphones.
"Gather all of Domino for this event," Yami reminded as Kairi, Joey and Tea raced off to the city. Yugi came up behind him, carrying a guitar, but this one was made to look like Slifer the Sky Dragon.
"You ready, Pharaoh?" he asked, holding out his hand. Yami took it, and nodded.
-A few hours later-
Yami and the other band members stood up on the black stage, the large crowd cheering loudly as many lights shone down upon them.
"Are you ready to rock, Domino?" Brian shouted to the enthusiastic crowd, who cheered in response. Yami stopped Brian from counting off, and stepped forward.
"I would like to say a few words," he began, shielding his eyes from the spotlights. "Over the past few days, I was a demon, under the influence of my anger and rage from many months before. Now, this song shall explain all this." He turned to Brian, who counted off, and they began.
Yami:
Drowning deep in my sea of loathing,
Broken your servant I kneel.
Brian:
Will you give in to me?
Yami:
It seems what's left of my human side
Is slowly changing in me.
Brian:
Will you give in to me?
Yami:
Looking at my own reflection
When suddenly it changes
Violently it changes. (Oh no.)
There is no turning back now.
You've woken up the demon in me.
All:
Get up come on get down with the sickness. They repeated that two more times.
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me.
Get up, come on get down with the sickness.
You mother get up, come on get down with the sickness.
Madness is the gift that has been given to me.
Yami:
I can see inside you, the sickness is rising.
Don't try to deny what you feel.
It seems all that was good has died
And is decaying in me.
It seems you're having some trouble
In dealing with these changes.
Living away these changes.
The world is a scary place
Now that you've woken up the demon in me.
They sang the chorus two more times, and while they sang, Yami took out a small dagger, and made long scratches into his face to add to the effect. When the song ended, Yami took hold of his microphone stand, and raised it up into the air as the crowd cheered wildly. Blood flowed down his face and fell to the stage like tears. He bowed, and walked away, his eyes glowing amongst the darkness.
Was it a good ending?
Review, please!
