Episode 3: Battle Of The Bands Part 3

"I hope that we weren't voted out." Kol muttered as the six bands sat in the Great Hall.

"Relax Kol, we've got this in the bag, the readers love us." Jester giggled. "Ok..." Kol replied, not really understanding what his best friend was talking about. Dick made a crazy signal to Connor when they heard what Jester had said to Kol.

Everyone began to quieten down when Lex Luthor stepped onto the stage to announce who would be getting kicked out of the battle.

"After counting up all the votes I'm afraid that we have to say farewell to Green Eyes and Cool Cats." The principle announce. Mittens and Kitty slumped in defeat when they heard the news but left quietly.

"WHAT?!" Emma cried out angrily.

Her tantrum got so bad Luthor had to call security to escort her and Axle out the hall. "Drama queen much?" Electropath smirked to Ghost Boy. "I suggest the rest of you use the next hour to prepare for the Semi-Finals!"...


After an hour all the students and teachers had began to gather in the Great Hall.

Luthor stepped onto the stage and greeted everyone with a smile. "Welcome everyone, as you now that the two bands that survive this round go head to head in the finals, so without further ado I present Thunder Punch!"

Everyone applauded as Electropath and Ghost Boy stepped onto the stage.

(Electropath)

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly, would you still love me the same?

(Both)

Right about now...
If a judge for life me, would you stay by my side?
Or is you gonna say goodbye?
Can you tell me right now?
If I couldn't buy you the fancy things in life
Shawty, would it be alright?
Come on show me that you are down

(Ghost Boy)

Now tell me would you really ride for me?
Baby tell me would you die for me?
Would you spend your whole life with me?
Would you be there to always hold me down?
Tell me would you really cry for me?
Baby don't lie to me
If I didn't have anything
I wanna know would you stick around?

(Both)

If I got locked away
And we lost it all today...
Tell me honestly...
Would you still love me the same?
If I showed you my flaws
If I couldn't be strong
Tell me honestly
Would you still love me the same?


Electropath and Ghost Boy bowed as the crowd went wild.

As they walked away Luthor spoke up. "Thank you for that performance Thunder Punch, now please give a warm welcome to Flower Power!" He exclaimed and the only remaining girl band stepped onto the stage.

(Daisy)

I could have beer for breakfast
My sanity for lunch
Trying to get over how bad I want you so much
Innocence for dinner
Pour something in my cup
Anything and everything just to fill me up

But nothing ever gets me high like this
I pick my poison and it's you
Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge
I pick my poison and it's you
I pick my poison and it's you

(Heather)

I can feel you whisper
And laying on the floor
And I try to stop but I keep on coming back for more
I'm a lightweight, and I know it
Cause after the first time
I was falling
Falling now

But nothing ever gets me high like this
I pick my poison and it's you
Nothing could kill me like you do
You're going straight to my head
And I'm heading straight for the edge
I pick my poison and it's you
I pick my poison and it's you


"Thank you girls." Lex smiled as the girls finished.

"I hope we make it through." Heather whispered nervously as she and Daisy walked away. "Relax Heather, we're the only girls left and only a sexist jerk would vote the last girl team out." Daisy winked.

"And now I am proud to welcome The Shooting Stars!"

(Both)

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Yeah, we'll be counting stars

(Dick)

I see this life like a swinging vine,
Swing my heart across the line
In my face is flashing signs,
Seek it out and ye shall find.

Old but I'm not that old
Young but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

An feel something so right by doing the wrong thing
An feel something so wrong by doing the right thing

I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Every thing that kills me makes me feel alive.

(Both)

Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be counting stars
Lately I've been, I've been losing sleep
Dreaming about the things that we could be
But, baby I've been, I've been praying hard
Said no more counting dollars, we'll be-we'll be counting stars

Ye-e-yeah

(Connor)

I feel her love
And I feel it burn down this river every time
Hope is our four-letter word, make that money watch it burn

Old but, I'm not that old
Young, but I'm not that bold
And I don't think the world is sold
I'm just doing what we're told

An feel something so wrong by doing the right thing
I could lie, couldn't I, couldn't I?
Everything that drowns me makes me wanna fly


"Always a pleasure to have you preform for us boys." Luthor smiled as the crowd went absolutely nuts for them.

"The pleasure is ours Principle Luthor." Connor smiled and he and Dick left. "We're up next." Kol said to Jester nervously. "And now finally up next is The Dark Magicians." Principle Luthor said.

However there wasn't as much enthusiasm for Kol and Jester as there had been for the others.

Kol gulped as they walked onto the stage while Jester was grinning like a fool.

(Kol)

Electric lights
Blow my mind
But I feel alright

And never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die

You catch my eye
Bitch, you wanna fly
I'm so alive

Never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die

I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules

(Both)

I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules

(Jester)

I'm such a star
King boulevard
Blaze through the dark

And never stop, it's how we ride
Comin' up until we die

I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules
Boys and girls across the world
Putting on our dancing shoes
Going to the discotheque
Getting high and getting wrecked
I don't wanna go to school
I just wanna break the rules


"Very nice you two." Luthor said, even though he sounded like he didn't mean it.

Kol sighed in defeat as he and Jester walked off stage. "Now as I'm sure you all already know, you people get to vote for the winner so I suggest you get voting." Luthor smiled and soon everyone was out the hall and at the voting booths...


"I can't wait for the votes to come through!" Dick cheered as he, Connor, Jester and Kol walked down the hall.

"Speak for yourself Dick." Kol muttered nervously. "Hey relax little bro, I bet you and Jester did fine." Connor smiled. Dick and Jester nodded in agreement. Kol smiled at his friends.

"Thanks guys, I'm just gonna head to bed. This contest is really tiring me out." Kol yawned and walked away from the group.

When Kol entered his and Jester's dorm his took of his shoes and headed straight for his bed. But something stopped him. A little present placed on his bed. It was a little black box with a red ribbon tied around it and a tag that read 'To: Kol-El'.

Kol cautiously picked up the box and opened it.

Inside was a small black data chip. There was also a note.

Dear Kol

I have recently learned of this so called 'Battle Of The Bands' and thought I might give you something to aid you in this game.

Sincerely...

Kol gave the small chip a quick scan over and it showed that the chip appeared to be completely harmless, just something to help keep him awake a bit longer and make his voice clearer.

Shrugging, Kol lifted the chip to his forehead and inserted it into the middle circle on his head.

His eyes widened when he realised his mistake as tons of deadly data was uploaded into his programming. Before the green teen could react however his eyes started to glow a deep red and a hideous smirk painted on his face...
