Later that evening, Dethklok set up in a separate room to practice their set for the following night, at the same time giving Charles, the Prismrivers, and Yukari a small taste of what is to come, much to their delight. After a sound check and a lot of bitching from Murderface over nothing, Pickles banged the cymbals a couple times to make them begin their song Hatredcopter.

Nathan, Skwisgaar, and Toki all began windmilling their hair while playing the intro. With a deadly look into his eyes, Nathan began belting out the lyrics with brutal intensity. "I fly a gigantic monster, I am a captain, evil stopper! I get to wear big black helmets, I pilot the hatredcopter!"

The girls were all in awe at the sight of the practice performance. "This is absolutely amazing!" Merlin cooed. "Imagine what it'll be like during the real deal!" Her sisters nodded in agreement.

A couple more verses in and Skwisgaar played one of his signature jaw-dropping solos, making their audience get stars in their eyes. One last verse and Dethklok closed out the song. The Prismrivers applauded for their performance. "Great job boys," Yukari complimented. "You're not the world's biggest band for nothing I see."

"Ah dis is nothings, wait until you sees the real things," Skwisgaar replied. "It gets more gooders than this for sures."

Lunasa cleared her throat. "We're obviously big fans of yours, but I was wondering if it would be alright if we could show you a cover of one of your songs," she asked. "We'd like your opinion on how you think we are, even though we're not a metal band."

"Eh, why the hell not?" Murderface said. "Jusht don't make me depresshed like last time."

Lunasa nodded and their instruments popped out of thin air. Soon they began covering a trumpet/keyboard/violin version of Dethklok's "Thunderhorse." While it may not be metal, they played the notes almost flawlessly, Lunasa even nailing Skwisgaar's solos on her violin, a feat that most would find impossible. Their jaws dropped at that sight. They concluded the performance and looked at the band with looks similar to those of a boy looking at his father for approval. "So….what did you think?" Lyrica nervously asked. "Was it good?"

The whole band nodded slowly with their mouths still hanging open. "Th-that's crazy," Pickles said. "How in da hell did ya girls pull dat off?"

They blushed. "As poltergeists, we're able to play the instruments even without touching them," Merlin explained. "Though it wasn't easy trying to learn the solo, we were still able to play the whole song. Without that ability, we wouldn't have a chance at doing it with how fast we would have to play."

"I loveds it!" Toki complimented. "It ain't brutals, but its sounds awesomes! What do yous thinks Skwis?" He looked over at the lead guitarist, who was half-stunned still that someone could actually play the same solo without a guitar. "I think he likes it toos."

Nathan cleared his throat to speak. "It wasn't metal, but that was pretty (guitar screech)-ing brutal," he said, making them blush even more. "Since this whole Gensokyo Music Festival is a big thing and all and you three have these weird-ass powers that can mess with people's emotions, we should play a song together. What do you guys think?"

"I like it," Pickles said. "Dese girls can keep up with us, so I think it should be fine. Add da crazy abilities and it'll be a crazier show den usual!"

Skwisgaar, coming out of his stunned state, nodded. "As longs as you lets me have the solos, I don'ts mind."

The poltergeists looked at each other with glee. "We'll do it!" Lunasa piped up.

Yukari smiled. She turned to Charles. "I knew their cover was impressive, but I wasn't expecting this kind of reaction," she said with a laugh.

He pushed up his glasses. "Honestly neither did I. Probably because they've never met a person who can come close to Skwisgaar's abilities other than Toki. The Prismrivers must have impressed them enough to win them over."

Dethklok and the Prismrivers decided to try practicing a new song together and sound checked all of their instruments. "Get ready to be brutal," Nathan said to the girls. With smirks on their face, they nodded to the singer. Pickles sounded off and they began.

Meanwhile in heaven, the celestial known as Tenshi Hinanawi was lying down on a hill with a glass of sake and not a care in the world. She took a sip of the sake and continued to take in the beautiful rays of the sun. "Ah, this is the life," she sighed in satisfaction.

In the midst of it all though, she suddenly heard a noisy disturbance coming from earth, more specifically Gensokyo. "That's strange," Tenshi noticed. "I wonder what's going on." She went over to a celestial panel that helped display the events occurring on earth. She searched around on it a bit, the noise getting louder the closer she got. Suddenly she found the 8 musicians playing the brutal music, making her cover up her ears. "My word, what kind of noise is this!?" she yelled in disgust.

At that moment, her subordinate Iku Nagae had appeared before her. "My lady, I have come to deliver a message from-" she stopped when she saw Tenshi getting annoyed by the music. She walked over and turned the panel off, making her superior relax a bit. "Lady Tenshi, what was that you were doing exactly?"

The celestial scoffed. "Some band and the Prismrivers were making a racket down on earth and it's driving me nuts! What was that they were playing anyways? It just sounded like a car wreck!"

Iku turned the panel back on and searched for the source of the sound again, making Tenshi cringe the louder it got. As soon as she found the source, she zoomed in and figured out who it was. "I see, it appears to be coming from the Prismriver sisters and Dethklok," she pointed out. "They must be practicing for the Gensokyo Music Festival tomorrow night."

Tenshi cocked an eyebrow at her. "Who in their right mind would book THEM?"

"I take it you're not a metal music fan, milady?" the oarfish youkai asked.

She shook her head. "If you could even call that music, not in the slightest." She looked back at the panel with discontent. "If this is just a practice session and it's already this loud, imagine the noise they'll bring up here from a whole stage performance!"

Iku scratched her head. "I-I'm not sure where you're going with this Tenshi."

"We need to put an end to it."

Iku's mouth dropped. "You're not really considering causing another earthquake without letting anyone know again, are you!? Do you realize what kind of chaos that brought last time?"

Tenshi shrugged nonchalantly. "Hey, I let you know, didn't I?" she said while looking back at the panel. Iku facepalmed. "Besides, this'll be good for all of heaven when I silence that noise. That'll more than make up for the scarlet weather incident."

"Good grief, can you never think of anything besides yourself!?" Iku scolded with an irritated look, making her superior shudder a bit. "You're the only non-Dethklok fan here! You're going to cause backlash!" Her words fell on deaf ears as Tenshi was intently observing the panel, muttering to herself about how she was going to end their performance.

She walked away to leave her planning her selfish conquest in peace. "This doesn't bode well for anyone," she said to herself as she headed back to Lord Nai.
