The Gensokyo Music Festival had officially begun as soon as sundown hit. There were stands set up with shopkeepers selling wares and food, small stages set up for aspiring artists to try and impress the other residents, and then the giant mainstage the Klokateers and kappas built earlier for the Prismrivers and Dethklok when they did their own performances.

Dethklok walked around a bit before they were due for sound check to check out the festival grounds. "I've seen bigger festivals, but dis ain't so bad," Pickles said while taking in the sights. "Then again, probably what you'd expect from a place in da middle of (guitar screech)-in' nowhere too."

"The foods ams better though," Toki added gleefully while munching on some cotton candy. "Doesn't tastes like the (guitar screech)-s the normal festivals sells for like five bucks."

"Stills ams not brutals for what wes ams used to," Skwisgaar muttered. "Unders other circumstance, this would be total dildos."

A second later, Nathan's dethphone rang. "Yeah?" he answered.

"Hello Nathan, you're due for sound check in five minutes," Charles said on the other line.

"The hell? Already!?"

A sigh was heard. "Yes Nathan, did you boys even pay attention to the schedule Yukari and I gave you before you ventured off?"

Nathan put his hand on the receiver. "Hey um, did Charles give us a schedule?"

Murderface pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket. "Yeah, shays here there'sh a udon-eating contesht at 8, we should do it! Let's shee what else there is to do!" He flipped over the paper to see the rest of the schedule, suddenly facepalming at what he read. "And here's the (guitar screech)-ing concert schedule."

"You (guitar screech)-ing moron!" Nathan scolded while swiping the paper from his hands. He got back on the phone. "We'll get there in a second."

As soon as the Prismrivers finished their set and sound check was done by the Klokateers and Dethklok, the crowd had gathered, nearly filling out the entire main stage audience area. The lights went out to signal the band's intro sequence, making the whole audience go wild. Red and blue floodlights began activating as well as smoke machines and the Hell of Blazing Fires' pyrotechnics mechanics. Suddenly a panel on the floor opened up and out came Dethklok standing on an elevating platform, instruments at the ready and corpse paint spread on their faces in typical Dethklok show fashion.

"Gensokyo, are you ready for the most brutal show of your existence!?" Nathan growled into the microphone. The audience cheered loud.

Pickles sounded off on the drums and thus began their opening song, "I Ejaculate Fire." As soon as the guitar kicked in, a pit opened up in the crowd, which mostly consisted of Kaguya and Mokou trying to "mosh," or in their case, kick the crap outta each other, while the rest of the crowd was headbanging. "I ejaculate fire! A venomous fluid, cantankerous druid; It kills when I breed, with my death seed, CHECKMATE!" Nathan growled.

They got through a few more songs and then began their song "Hatredcopter." The pit opened up and then all of the fairies and tengus began to do a circle pit that spanned half of the width of the whole audience. The hatredcopter piloted by some of the Klokateers was beginning to take off and shone spotlights on the crowd, making them go wild. Before it had reached the edge of the stage, it suddenly got shot down by a keystone, leaving it in a rubble on stage right by the band, who stopped to take in the sight.

"That's weirds," Skwisgaar said. "We weren't plannings on blowings up the copter yet, weres we?"

Murderface looked up at the scaffolding. "Hey, what the (guitar screech) are you guysh doing up there!? We've got a show to play!" he yelled, shaking his fist.

His words were met with a couple of decapitated Klokateers falling to the floor from the scaffolding, shocking everyone in attendance.

"And I'm the one who is going to end it," Tenshi said, landing softly to the floor on a keystone, bloody Sword of Hisou in her hand. She turned to the audience. "Honestly, how can anyone like this kind of noise? It's giving me a headache!" The crowd booed her.

"Who the (guitar screech) do you think you are lady!?" Nathan yelled, starting to walk towards her and cracking his knuckles.

She pointed the sword at him, making him back off a bit. "Tenshi Hinanawi, celestial of Heaven. And the one who's going to stop this racket for good."

Charles looked on from backstage and saw the spectacle unfolding. "Oh this is not good," he muttered. He grabbed a walkie-talking and pressed the receiver. "Security teams A, B, and C, we have a threat detected center stage. Protect the band and incapacitate the threat by any means necessary!"

Three teams of Klokateers wielding axes, spears, and swords gathered on the sides of the stage. "Step away from the band, lady," one of them warned. "We have orders to incapacitate you if you try hurting our lords, and that includes execution if necessary."

"Wowee, wes ams saved!" Toki cheered. One sadistic smile from Tenshi shattered that dream in an instant.

The celestial looked at the Klokateers. "Oh? I invite you to try it." She pulled out a spell card. "Earthquake! Sword of Pleasure After Hardship!" Suddenly an earthquake erupted, opening holes where the Klokateers were standing, making them all fall through to their deaths. She turned back to the now-terrified band. "Now where were we?" she mused while pointing the sword at them.

Reimu, Yukari, Marisa, Alice, and the Prismrivers all got on stage in defense of the band. "Tenshi, didn't you learn ANYTHING from the last time you caused an incident!?" the shrine maiden yelled.

Tenshi shrugged. "Oh please. I caused an incident because I was bored. Now, I'm solving one by silencing the noise and saving us all from these buffoons."

"Hey (guitar screech) you ya bitch!" Pickles yelled. Tenshi threw a mini-keystone at his head, knocking him out and pissing off the band even more.

"The next one will be fatal," she warned him. She turned back to the girls. "You all should be thanking me for this favor. This isn't music, it's just guttural garbage causing a disturbance in Gensokyo."

"I think you're the only non-metal music fan here, ze," Marisa said. "Now why don't you run on home so WE can enjoy the show?"

"And continue to let them ruin my peace and quiet?" she scoffed. "Not on your life!"

Lunasa, Merlin, and Lyrica stepped in front of the four usual saviors with deadly expressions. "If she's going to ruin our concert, let us have this one," Lunasa said. She looked at Yukari. "Make sure that she doesn't escape. We want to enjoy crushing her."

Yukari faltered for a second, but nodded. She turned to Reimu, Marisa, and Alice. "Provide back-up in case the sisters need it. Lunasa's right, this is their fight."

"Uh, what the hell is going on?" Nathan asked quizzically.

The four stood with the band. "Just sit back and watch what happens when you try interrupting a performance by the Prismrivers," Yukari said with a wink. Her and Charles pulled out megaphones. "Clear the area!" they said to the audience. "We don't want people to get unnecessarily hurt!"

Tenshi laughed. "The three washed-up band ghosts are going to try and take me on? Jeez, our heroes must have lost their nerves all of a sudden if they brought YOU three."

"Shut the hell up Tenshi!" Merlin barked. "It's bad enough you interrupted a concert, but one we're playing with DETHKLOK? Oh you're gonna pay for this one."

"Do you realize how long we've waited for the chance to see them live?" Lyrica added. "We're even sharing the same stage as them and you're ruining it!"

Tenshi gave the bring-it-on gesture to the bandmates. "Very well then. Give me your best shot!"
