This would be the chapter where Jaune's band would sing for the crowd again, so Jaune's next set of dates would have to be put in the next chapter to help me focus on this one.
Only three chapters left for Jaune's remaining dates then the finale would soon come. I have really reached this far with this story and I couldn't be happier continuing it. I almost gave up on it but dreams would always keep moving.
While I am sorry that I won't do another story like this again, but this made me want to make more stories to entertain all of you.
So hope for more stories to come and please enjoyed the chapter.
But before that, to the one's that tried to trash talk at me, try saying that to the people that also did the same thing. Say that to them, especially Pixel. Try and say it to them you cowards.

Chapter:26 Another Show
Jaune and his band are in the locker room yet again while his sister's band went ahead of them.
"Here we go again, I'm so pumped!" Asta yelled out as he punched the air.
"Yeah!" Natsu yelled as well as the two gave each other a high-five.
"Hey now, I know it's exciting to play again, but it doesn't start just yet," Izuku said as he was tuning his guitar.
"Buy you can't deny that you're excited," Denki said as Izuku raised his hands in mock surrender.
"Got me there," Izuku admitted as everyone laugh out a little.
"So how is going on with your girls?" Issei asked as everyone look at a blushing Jaune.
"Well I already dated half of them so probably after our performance, I might ask the next one for a lunch date," Jaune said.
"You really are accepting this pretty calmly," Makoto said as Jaune shook his head.
"While I might look like it, I am very nervous," He admitted as Issei pat him on the back.
"Don't worry about it, it just happens so move with the flow," The pervert advised the blonde leader.
Jaune then let out a cough as he stands and said, "Anyways, let's quickly prepare for our performance."
His friends clearly saw him trying to avert their focus, but clearly fails because of the smiles on their faces. They do want to push further, but they decide to continue after the performance. They quickly went for a bathroom break as they then left.
When they then left, someone is watching with a malicious intent.
Now in the battlefield, the audience were waiting for the next show in excitement. They were whispers and murmurs as they really couldn't hold back their excitement.
Along with the audience, Jaune's friends and his family are sitting together as they wait for the show to start.
"I can't believe the Headmaster would do another one," Blake said.
"Well the people really like it," Yang said to her partner. "The first is like the first time they ever did a concert, so it comes to no surprise that everyone wants an encore."
"Just like my career before, but in a more worldwide scale," Weiss said as she look at the middle of the arena, and thought of herself reaching this far from her singing career.
The crowd suddenly cheered as everyone saw Lucy and her band coming out for their performance.
As Lucy and her friends went out, they wave to the cheering fans as they walk over to the middle.
As they reached the middle, they set their instruments, adjust them till they are functioning perfectly.
Lucy then faced the crowd with a smile and said, "Hello again everyone!"
The crowd cheered again as Lucy faced her band and nods towards them. They readied their instruments and began to play.
What are you willing to lose?
You cover your wounds, but underneath them
A million voices in your head that whisper, "Stop, now"
Another twist of the knife, turn of the screws
It's all in your mind and it's fighting you
Arm yourself, a storm is coming
Well, kid, what you gonna do now?
It's your reflection looking back to pull you down
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
And now you're playing with matches
Come out of the ashes underneath you
A million voices in the crowd they're screaming, "Stop, now"
We'll let 'em swallow their pride, you're turning the tide to true believers
Got them in the palm of your hand, you're playing God now
What you gonna do now?
It's your reflection looking back to pull you down
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
So are you gonna die today or make it out alive?
You gotta conquer the monster in your head and then you'll fly
Fly, phoenix, fly
It's time for a new empire
Go bury your demons then tear down the ceiling
Phoenix, fly
The crowd began to cheer but Lucy and her band wasn't done yet with their performance. Lucy look back to her band again as she nods towards them and played another.
Hmm, yeah
Everything they ever liked
Don't see myself inside
Why can't I get it right?
I don't know
You're always watching me fall
Shadows, they like my wall
Why do I feel so small?
I don't know
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside, no more
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
Oh, I am feeling afraid
But lately I lost my faith
What is love without pain?
It ain't home
You're watching me, but I'm in love
When I get caught, I hope
It's the kind of blackout that will
Take me home
So I walk into the dead of night
Where my monsters like to hide
Chaos feels so good inside, no more
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I know that I'm a mess
But I ain't tryna be the best
So, whatever's coming next
I better pray-ay-ay-ay
Never said I was an angel
I am damaged all the way
So, whatever's coming next
I better pray-ay-ay-ay
I lost, I lost
I lost control again
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
I don't, I don't
I don't know who I am
Always do the same and I'm to blame
I lost control again
As the crowd cheers yet again, Lucy received a call and answered it.
She got a look of shock and said, "What?!"
Kyoka look at her and said, "What happened?"
Lucy then faced them and said, "Someone broke all of the instruments from Jaune's group."
"So what are they gonna do?" Ryuko asked as Lucy talk to Jaune more and the blonde girl blinked a few times.
"They're doing an acapella," She said as her band look at her. As they registered what she said, they quickly move away from the center.
As they move away along with their instruments, Jaune and his band arrived with only mics in their hands which confused the audience.
"What is going on? Why only mics?" Yang questioned as Weiss decided to answer it for her.
"There are some songs that don't really need instruments, sometimes it is with voice alone or an... acapella," She said as everyone looked at her.
"What's an acapella?" Ruby asked as Arthuria decided to explain this one.
"Instead of using instruments, you use your own body to bring out the beat like stomping your feet or copying the beat with your own voice. While some do have instruments, most don't really have them," The eldest Arc sister said as the others nods in understanding.
The boys sent down there mics before looking at each other and nod as they then began their song.
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Oh blow, my bully boys, blow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
She'd not been two weeks from shore
When down on her a right whale bore
The captain called all hands and swore
He'd take that whale in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Before the boat had hit the water
The whale's tail came up and caught her
All hands to the side, harpooned and fought her
When she dived down low (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
No line was cut, no whale was freed
The captain's mind was not of greed
And he belonged to the Whaleman's creed
She took that ship in tow (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da
Da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da-da
For forty days or even more
The line went slack then tight once more
All boats were lost, there were only four
But still that whale did go (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
As far as I've heard, the fight's still on
The line's not cut, and the whale's not gone
The Wellerman makes his regular call
To encourage the captain, crew and all (huh)
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
Soon may the Wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
One day, when the tonguing is done
We'll take our leave and go
The audience just claps as the song they sang was great, it was subpar but it was still great.
The boys just high five with one another as Jaune faced Lucy and nods towards her.
Lucy then joined Jaune in the middle as they Ryuko gave Izuku her drums while Denki got Kyoka's guitar and Tsuyu grabbed the violin case she carried along and grabbed said instrument. As they finished preparing, they began the next song.
When all the Kings men
And all their horses
Can't find a way to
A way to save you
I've been chasin windmills for as long as I have been
Found my Dolcinea but I don't remember when
Still I can be your hero when that love comes to an end
Somehow you lost your wonder in your quest to feel alive
Slayed your hope but didn't let yourself know it had died
Thought growing up meant you had to go and kill the child inside
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up
When all the Kings men
And all their horses
Can't find a way to
A way to save you
When all the day's end
Remember me then
It's not too late to
Too late to save you
Remember when the darkness wasn't all you had to see
Remember when a part of you still hoped for what could be
Well I got this suit of armor and a sword I need to swing
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up
When all the Kings men
And all their horses
Can't find a way to
A way to save you
When all the day's end
Remember me then
It's not too late to
Too late to save you
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
When all the Kings men
And all their horses
Can't find a way to
A way to save you
When all the day's end
Remember me then
It's not too late to
Too late to save you
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up child
Wake wake wake up
They then hear the crowd cheer as the two bands smiled and waved for them.
"Let's do that one thing that always do together, it might also entertain them" Jaune said to Lucy as she knew what he meant.
"You're on," Lucy said as she walk over to Tsu to borrow her violin while Jaune walk over to Denki to borrow the guitar. Every member what is coming and quickly back away while Ryuko readied her drums and Denki pulled out his Scroll for the needed sound effects for their next song.
Lucy then began to play the violin that gives off a lot of western like rhythm as it was accompanied by Ryuko hitting the bass on her drums.
The way she played was soon followed by her dancing in the middle of the arena, looking both graceful and glamorous, till Jaune began to play alongside her as the two face off with each other with their respective instruments.
"What is going on?" Ruby asked as they watch the two continue playing. "Where's the lyrics?"
"Not every song is like that Ruby," Weiss said as she look at twins playing down below with their eyes at each other. "Sure, songs with lyrics are still a thing, but songs in the past don't have them and it still lives on today. The only important thing for a song is that they should connect with our hearts as it plays.
"They are still going!" Yang called out to them as sure enough, the twins are still playing.
The twins kept going as the rhythm of their instruments echoed throughout the stadium as everyone felt entranced by the music they are making.
The both of them are starting to sweat and their numbs getting numb from how long they played, yet they still kept their eyes on one another trying to outplay their respective opponents.
Then Lucy saw it, Jaune is slowly losing it. With renewed vigor she played harder as their back up sounds went along with her violin.
She then advances as Jaune knew what she was doing, she was making him back down but he won't. He advances as well as he played even harder than before.
The two circle one another, waiting for the other to mess up and pounce on them when they least expected it. They continued playing even when they feel their arms going to fall off.
Then in a fraction of a second, due to playing fast and hard. One of them finally slips.
It was Jaune.
He missed the cords which ruined his rhythm and gave Lucy the advantage she needed. She played harder than before as Jaune couldn't fix his rhythm and slowly being overwhelmed by his sister.
He then back off as the song is about to near its end as each strum of Lucy's violin louder every strum.
Then it was silence.
.
..
...
Jaune tried to play his guitar but Lucy suddenly played more louder and vigorous that the sound of their song reached outside the Colosseum with her extraordinary play.
She danced with the beat, tirelessly she danced to her unstoppable rhythm as Jaune gave up knowing that there is nothing that he can do. The song is now nears its ending as he just stood back to watch his sister continue to dance in the middle with a look of joy on her face.
She twirled in place, she jump in the air like a ballerina, she walks, she runs, stomps her feet, balances on one foot, and even doing both a split leap and a vertical split.
Lucy then stop in the middle of the Colosseum as she strum one more note before spreading out her arm and bowed to their audience.
The roared with loud cheers and whistles as some of the audience even threw roses that they bought after hearing the two bands performing again.
The others join Lucy as they smile and wave to the cheering crowd.
In the locker room, Team CRDL are in there with Cardin punching one of the lockers to leave a massive dent.
"Damnit!" Cardin cursed in rage as his team tried to calm him down.
"Calm down, we can get them next time," Russel said to him.
"That's not enough!" Cardin roared as he slams the locker again. "I want to humiliate him! I want to see him get humiliated down there and he goes on beat boxing!"
"Well, well, well."
The four turned around to see Emerald and Sun behind them.
"Well Sun, we have the evidence we need," Emerald said as she has a voice recorder in hand. Team CRDL look at it in horror as they about to charge at them till the two drew their weapons.
"You won't get away with this," Cardin threatened them but the two didn't listen to him.
"Did your leader told you to only get this?" Sun asked as Emerald smirks.
"Not really," Emerald said as Mercury, the rest of Team SSSN, Team CFVY, Arthuria, Seras, Ryouna, Katsuragi, and Yoko came out from the side with looks of anger on their faces.
Team CRDL gulp in fear as the group advanced towards them and they step back
"Get them!" The group then pounce on them as Team CRDL scream in fear.
Outside the room, the only thing heard there are the grunts and screams of Team CRDL getting pummeled to the ground.
It was now night time and everyone are now in their respective rooms.
Jaune was about to enter his team's dorm till he saw Pyrrha standing on the other side of the door waiting for him with a smile on her face. Before he knows it, Pyrrha used her Semblance and dragged him in the room.
Few hours later, Nora and Ren came by as they entered the room.
"Hey Fearless Lead–" Nora stop as she took in the sight in front of her. She was clearly shock from what she was seeing along with Ren.
"We should ask his friends if they could let us in for tonight," Ren said as Nora nods, dumbfounded.
Nora then closed the door and quickly left with Ren, but that image remained in their mind. But the worst thing was?
It was the noise.
And that is the end for that chapter!
