WARNING: Short Chapter. Taken out from Chapter one. Please note that my story will most likely be revisedafter the first episode or two of Metalocalypse, Season 3. (2/09: Ah Hell no, I was kinda hoping season 3 would come out sooner but it didn't, so no.)
The Tribunal: Cancerous Debriefing
In a surreptitious layer, the Tribunal was having another secret meeting concerning Dethklok and its members. They had just finished watching the latest news about Cancerous when they were all given a debriefing. Senator Stampingston stood in front of the council.
"As you can see, a new metal band has finally been able to thrive even though sales have gone up for Dethklok. Not much is really known about these girls, only that the band's popularity is almost a year old. Their music has been slowly climbing the charts, and is now ranked number two as the top ten world famous bands. Here is what we do know about them."
Behind him the screen flashed and the image of a girl appeared, eyes looking blank despite the amazing hazel color they were. The picture was a head shot. The men only saw her face, the deep black hair flowing past her shoulders with a purple streak on the right side and a blank tank top contrasting with her pale skin.
"Cancerous is fronted by singer and songwriter Moira Implosion. Her incredible singing skills have made her one of the most influential people of the world. Her range is more extensive then Mariah Carey or Whitney Houston. She is also one of few women able to perform 'death growls'. Ms. Implosion was born in New Orleans, Louisiana to Sergeant Edgar and Tina Implosion. They moved to Moscow, Russia until young Moira was seven after her father was killed in a car accident. She survived the accident. Her medical reports suggest that the trauma contributed to her violent mood swings and sociopathic behavior. But we believe this to be unlikely due to the fact Ms. Implosion and her band have managed to live in a trailor bus for almost seven years."
Pictures on the screen flashed, one in particular was a photo of the gruesome accident. Half of Mr. Implosion was thrown out of the car's front windshield where it was not blocked by a tree. The small compact car was nearly torn in half. The next picture was young Moira being carried out of the crash site in the arms of a rescue worker, her face blank and bloodied. Other photos of her were from her early years in Russia and in America. There was significant different between her younger years and post Russia. The face of the smiling girl was replaced with a serious and scowling face that looked on with indifference. One picture was of her during her Prom, dressed in a beautiful red and black silk dress. Her hair was nicely done, but the same hate radiated off her, making her date seem scared.
Senator Stampingston continued. The next picture was of a beautiful red head, her hair a luscious red and eyes as green as emeralds. Her photo grinned back at the men, showing her pearly whites. Various piercing adorned her face, such as a small nose ring, a lower lip ring, a ring on her left brow and at least four piercing on each ear. A small star tattoo could be seen on her neck.
"Cherry 'Maraschino' is their drummer. She comes from Houston, Texas and is the middle child, fifth oldest, of her siblings. Her family lives in a trailer home at a public park. Originally in a group known as the Whore House Band, Cherry knows how to play a guitar and drums. She is also a successful singer and performer." Various pictures were of her in her old band. What had Vater Orlaag wonder was why she looked to be almost three hundred pounds in those. "Ms. Cherry obviously dealt with weight issues, but over the years lost one-hundred and sixty pounds. That's all we know on that matter.
"Now, the next one is the young Lucy Peacetong from the Ukraine. Her past is as murky as Toki Wartooth's." The girl in the picture had a look of a curious child. Her big blue eyes were wide in wonder as she smiled, holding a cat close to her as she wore a black tank, black skinny jeans and pumps. "Reports of child abuse and incest have been dug up, but I'm still not certain of the credibility of the incest portion seeing as how she is an only child like her mother and step father. As a successful pianist, violinist and cellist, she ran away from home at the age of ten. Her skills most likely come her mother who mysterious vanished some years ago." The slide show showed her in various Lolita like dresses and skirts as well as clothing appropriate for teenagers. The screen went black for a moment before the image of a blond hair woman came up. The picture looked like something out of a model photo shoot. The woman with startling light blue eyes stared from over her shoulder at the camera, her lips slightly parted and eyes half lidded.
"Runa Hathor of Finland. Her skill as a guitarist is enough to unofficially rank her as second fastest in the world. Her life before Cancerous is an odd one. Unlike Skwisgaar Skwisgelf, her father nurtured her in every way he could by sending her to violin and cello classes. She dropped out of school to pursue a short lived modeling career until she was sixteen, although she had been asked to numerous times to come back. Between that time and her joining Cancerous, rumor has it she entered the adult entertainment industry with her father. Rathgar Hathor is Finland renowned porn star. Such films he's performed in are Odin's Loins of Lust, Thor's Big Stick and Mythological Screws." There was small chatter among the men in the room as he said that. "She and Lucy learned to play guitar from one of Cherry's bandmates."
The last picture made everyone cringe. It wasn't that the woman was ugly, but the obvious mug shot was terrible. Swollen eyes and bottom lip with a broken nose, the lime green woman looked like she got out of a bar fight. Her hair was oily brown, reaching her shoulders while her bangs were done in a Betty Page fashion. The scowl on her face showed off her chipped teeth.
"Susanna Bloodyfist, Bass player of Cancerous. Her origins are unknown, but in her childhood through her early teenage years, she had been moved from foster home to foster home. She tends to react violently when anyone attempts to insult her and her fellow band mates. In high school, she was on the varsity wrestling team, and won several championships. She is also gifted in playing the Double Bass. She had been in the middle of creating her punk-rock psychobilly type band Ovary Override before Cancerous became big. She and Implosion have known each other since their junior year in high school while Runa and Lucy ran away from Europe together." The pictures of Bloodyfist were mostly photos of her in bar fights, her wrestling matches and in various homes of her care takers looking as pissed as Murderface would. "That is all I have, gentleman."
General Crosier was the first to speak, "Will this band be a threat to the world or will they be able to stop Dethklok's reign over the music industry? While gathering information, I have yet to see anything that could support the former."
Mr. Selatcia glared down at the short man, "We needn't worry about such trivial matters. What is important is that we monitor them, and see what threat they pose."
General Crosier frowned, "Very well. But what I would like to tell you all is that just a year ago, these women were mostly underground. Their manager is a man named Andrew Munkittrick, a former agent of the CIA. He is forty-three years old. I don't believe he poses much of a threat, only that he has some relations with Dethklok's manager. If these two bands are to join, I fear for what may happen."
Mr. Stampingston cleared his throat, "And that is why I have brought in an Association Acts Expert. Gentle men, please meet Carl Samsung."
A strange looking Asian man hobbled over to the middle of the room and bowed to his audience of dreary men.
"Many bands have joined for compilation albums and concert for years. I've calculated that if Dethklok and Cancerous are to meet, catastrophic events will occur. Cancerous' fans are mostly made up of those who don't like Dethklok, yet many Dethklok fans are fond of them. If there is to a dual concert between the two, an all out war could be at stake about who is better. While many have and would die for Dethklok, who is to say they wouldn't do the same for these five exceptional women?" Pictures behind him zoomed around the screen of violent pictures. The gruesome photos were a terrible look into a possible future between Dethklok and Cancerous.
"Even if Cancerous was to do a cover song for the notorious band, riots could occur, wiping out most of civilization. Each woman is almost like the twin of their instrumental counterpart because of their skills, yet as you can see, backgrounds are completely different. I fear for the moment these two great bands shall meet, as it is inevitable. With Cancerous' popularity soaring, Dethklok will feel threatened and will demand a confrontation. The only hope we have is if they rip each other apart before things go topsy turvey for us all!"
"What if one of them was to fall in love?" Orlaag said. "Specifically their leaders?" The thought occured to him when the picture behind Mr. Samsung was of Moira Implosion standing beside Nathan Explosion in almost the same manner, yet she wasn't as slouched over as Dethklok's front man.
Mr. Samsung looked like he was about to have a heart attack, "That would be worse! The very thought is unthinkable. All hell would most likely break loose! The dangers of Dethklok and Cancerous' charisma to please those against them will destroy us all." He shook his head, "That is all I have to say. Good day men." Without a warning, he scurried away.
Crosier looked concerned, but said nothing as Mr. Selatcia ordered him to get more information about the girls. "We must see how these two interact before we pass judgment…"
Howdy all! I didn't like how I had the first session start out, so I decided to make it its chapter. Plus I can just get Cancerous's background done as well because let's face it, would Dethklok actually listen to them speak about their pasts? I think not! Plus I've just realized something after watching Black Fire Upon Us; my story has to be set before that. Damn… or I might just redo my story after the premier of the third season. Can't wait!
And I would like to thank YourSweetSinner, author of Hypnoklokfor being my first and only review. –tears- Thank you so much. Apparently no one gives a crap about my other stories unless it's my Inu Yasha fics or SWAT Kats' Enamored. So for those of you reading that haven't checked out YourSweetSinner's story, go do so. It's pretty strange but still cool and Skwisgaar full :D Though the whole magical thing was a weird twist. Oh well, the story is still good.
EDIT: And Dragonzfire718(-trying to go from memory D: Sorry if it's wrong), thank you for being my second reviewer. Much love!
