Okay, when I faced Lou, it took me like twenty tries to finally beat him. I play expert, but don't expect me to do bad ass in Through The Fire And Flames. ^^; The first part is impossible according to my hands. xP Lucky Rose...

Enjoy the battle! ^_^

~Chapter Twelve: The Devil Went Down To California~

"I have to face you?!" Rose said glaring at the devil.

"Yes, sugar. You play guitar, I play it as well," Lou replied, showing off his skull like guitar. "If you lose, well, since you're a lady, you can be of my slaves instead of taking your soul away." Rose clenched her teeth when he wrapped his arm around her waist, then she felt a hand trying to touch between her thighs. So much for wearing a black mini skirt. This made Johnny snapped, running to the two.

"There's no way in Hell you'll make her your slave!" Johnny said with rage at him.

"Ah, so you're jealous of her being in another man's possession, huh?" Lou told him, letting go of her, making her stop at Johnny's front. "Don't worry, if you don't mess with my temper, you can receive the same treatment as her, rather than your soul—"

"For hell's sake, we know!" Rose said. When she turned around, her frown replaced her angry face and looked at Johnny fearfully, but with slight hope. "I swear to you, I won't lose, even if I die."

"I know you won't," he told her softly. "Our energy is in your hands." Stepping back a few steps, Rose looked at Pandora and Izzy, nodding to her. She did so back, gripping her guitar.

"I'll start this show," Lou said laughing darkly afterwards.

"Well, I'm the best that's ever been!" Rose replied with her glare. For the sake of their souls, it's now up to Rose to take back what they deserve. "The Devil Went Down To Georgia," a rock version of the classic, began to play. Since there's lyrics, an incubus took care of the singing while Lou and Rose began their battle.

The devil went down to Georgia, he was looking for a soul to steal.
He was in a bind 'cos he was way behind: he was willin' to make a deal.
When he came across this young man sawin' on a fiddle and playin' it hot.
And the devil jumped upon a hickory stump and said: "Boy let me tell you what:
"I bet you didn't know it, but I'm a fiddle player too.
"And if you'd care to take a dare, I'll make a bet with you.
"Now you play a pretty good fiddle, boy, but give the devil his due:
"I bet a fiddle of gold against your soul, 'cos I think I'm better than you."
The boy said: "My name's Johnny and it might be a sin,
"But I'll take your bet, you're gonna regret, 'cos I'm the best that's ever been."

Johnny you rosin up your bow and play your fiddle hard.
'Cos hell's broke loose in Georgia and the devil deals it hard.
And if you win you get this shiny fiddle made of gold.
But if you lose, the devil gets your soul.

The devil opened up his case and he said: "I'll start this show."
And fire flew from his fingertips as he resined up his bow.
And he pulled the bow across his strings and it made an evil hiss.
Then a band of demons joined in and it sounded something like this.
When the devil finished, Johnny said: "Well you're pretty good ol' son.
"But if you'll sit down in that chair, right there, and let me show you how its done."

Fire on the moun, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin, pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

The song wasn't over, but something in between interrupted it. Rose's guitar was nearly smashed, yet it can play a note perfectly. Everyone was shocked of how it came to this, especially Lou. His guitar was broken in half, his rage was in control.

"What?! You're still standing?! I can't be beaten now!" Rose winked with a hint of smug.

"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been!"

The devil bowed his head because he knew that he'd been beat.
He laid that golden fiddle on the ground at Johnny's feet.
Johnny said: "Devil just come on back if you ever want to try again.
"I told you once, you son of a bitch, I'm the best that's ever been."

And he played fire on the mount, run boys, run.
The devil's in the house of the risin' sun.
Chicken in the bread pin pickin' out dough.
"Granny, does your dog bite?"
"No, child, no."

Rose played the final notes in perfection, stealing the crowd's heart in the process. Once the song ended, the other three gazed at her slowly, watching her fall on her knees, panting and looking at her nearly destroyed guitar, smiling with such joy. However, she couldn't celebrate it now, because... well, the earth below them is crumbling and Lou just fell into the depths of Hell.

"Rose!" Pandora cried out. She stood up and ran to her, seeing three motorcycles. Really? How can they get out of there with road compatible vehicles? When Johnny started the vehicle, wings came out.

"Rose, get on with Johnny!" Izzy said with warning. She hurried and clutched onto Johnny, rising up above with the other two.

"Okay, for now on, we are keeping two of these and selling the other for a fortune!" Izzy said.

"Why are you so greedy?" Pandora asked him.

"Shouldn't we be worrying about who is our manager and the fate of our band now?" Rose asked out of the question.

"Crap!" the others said.

Well, there you have it! The second final chapter is done! The epilogue should be up not today because of too much updating (not as a bad thing, but I need time to think of a good ending to this). I have to leave this one LOL related. XD Lyrics I used in this story belong to their respective owners! See you in the final chapter! :)

Update from April of 2014: Normally, I would delete all lyrics, but since this was made for the game, I decided to keep this because... well, it fits the story.
