A/N : This one is requested from Shadow's Party Girl 96!
BTW, I don't know anything other than PC and PS2. I don't have Xbox, Wii or PS3. So don't complain about the lack of platform info.
Disclaimer : I don't own Sonic The Hedgehog, Guitar Hero, Guns n Roses' Welcome to The Jungle song or DragonForce's Through The Fire and Flames song and Shadow's Party Girl 96's Starlight (co-own it, though). I only own my plot and Levinski.
Chapter 3 : Welcome To The Jungle!
Levinski was in his lab, not working but instead playing with a guitar-shaped controller. On the large screen in front of him, was several colorful buttons coming down on some kind of board.
Yes, he is obviously playing Guitar Hero, and it was the third version : Legend of Rock. And more, the song comes like this…
# So far away~
We wait for the day~
For the lives all so wasted and gone~
We feel the pain…
of a lifetime lost in a thou-sand days…
Through the fire and the flames
We Carry ON~! #
Somehow he made it through the red snakes and the crazy zig-zag with some notes unstrummed. Well, Through the Fire and Flames is something that is hard to full combo, or even 100% played. Levinski continued playing until the song ended, and totally survived all the note hordes on the outro section.
/You Rock!\
The green furred Prower fox let out a long breath, his dark green shirt full of sweat and his fingers were sore after pushing the fret and strum buttons with almost the speed of light. "Oh, curse you DragonForce. Your songs are awesome, but your notes are impossible!"
Just then, the automatic door behind him hummed and slid open, revealing a familiar purple feline with her usual green jacket and charm necklace. "Why, hello Starlight, what're you doing here?"
"Just dropping by to pro face you off. I see you've already warmed up."
"No shit. It's not 'warmed up' anymore. My fingers were almost caught on fire."
"Good, then I want to play with you."
"You already said it. Pro Face-Off, is it? Which song?"
"Well, it begans with this." Then Starlight began to sing, "'On a cold winter morning, in the time before the light. In flames of Death's eternal reign we ride toward the fi…'"
"NO! NOT ONE MORE! I ALREADY HAD ENOUGH FOR ONE DAY! THERE'S NO WAY I'M GONNA PLAY ANOTHER THROUGH TH…!" but he was cut off by Starlight's laugh.
"Of course not, Grass! I'm also not in the mood for Through the Fire and Flames. Perhaps, Welcome to The Jungle?"
"Damn, that song again?"
"Yeah, please?"
Levinski just sighed, "Alright, but I think you'll win this one."
Levinski |Starlight : Welcome to The Jungle by Guns N' Roses.
The fox and the cat prepared themselves as the fretboards slid down. The song began with 2 notes that created echoing sound. It repeated again and followed with several notes. Not for long later, chords started to appear. They were soon taken to the pre-verse, which actually had the same note pattern as the verse itself…
# Welcome to the jungle!
We've got fun and games!
We got everything you want~
honey, we know the names !#
The notes started to change the pattern, to a more chord-y pattern. Levinski had trouble strumming the chords as he was already exhausted on playing the previous song, but even with that, he managed to do a 200 Note Streak before missing a single chord that then nuked the multiplier and streak he had.
# We are the people that can find whatever you may need
If you got the money honey we got your disease #
The chorus began. Starlight began using her whammy bar wildly on the hold notes to increase the score. To say that she almost broke it would be an understatement.
# In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Watch it bring you to your kn kn kn kn kn kn kn knne knees! Knees!
I want to watch you bleed #
The ending of the chorus was relatively easy as it had less chord compared to the previous section. But then both the Guitar Heroes, if we can call them that, were taken to the second verse.
# Welcome to the jungle!
We take day by day!
If you want it you're gonna bleed
But, it's the price to pay#
Levinski activated his star power, but only managed to bring the meter slightly to his side as he often lost the multiplier.
"Come on, Grass! This isn't fun!" Starlight complained.
#And you're a very sexy girl,
that's very hard to please.
You can taste the bright lights
but you won't get there for free #
The chorus notes came in again, as Levinski tried to keep up with the feline who was leading with 10000 scores above him.
#In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Feel my - my – my serpen- tine!
Ooh, I want to hear you scream #
The singer paused as the guitar kept playing some hold notes, followed with minor hammer ons, ended with zig-zags. Starlight lost her streak as she held the wrong fret button, green instead of red.
#Welcome to the jungle!
It gets worse here every day!
Ya learn to live like animal
in the jungle where we play!#
Levinski was now able to keep up as he got his strength recovered just a bit, but enough to keep him from missing the chords. Now Starlight was the one missing the chords, and sometimes overstrummed it.
# If you hunger for what you see
You'll take it eventually
You can have everything you want
But you better not take it from me~ #
As the chorus began, both guitarist missed the star powers at the same time, causing the guitar sound to disappear for a moment.
# In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Watch it bring you to your kn kn kn kn kn kn kn knne knees! Knees!
I want to watch you bleed #
Then a simple pattern of hold notes and long-interval single notes came down. Starlight tried to get the meters back to her, but it wasn't that simple because Levinski already got the song timing.
# And when you're high~
You never want to come down
So, down~
So, down~
So, down~~~
Yeah~! #
The guitarist started to play the small solo consisted of several chords and small single notes, and some zig-zags before the song's volume died down for awhile. The section was then filled with several hold notes.
The rest part didn't last as several chords marched down the fretboard, causing Starlight to miss again, but the meter was still on her side, although it's near middle.
# You know where you are?
You're down in the jungle, baby!
You're gonna DIE~~! #
The chorus went back again as the song came to its end. Levinski and Starlight's spirit were increased as the meter was right on the middle. They were now trying to rob the scores from the notes they had
# In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Watch it bring you to your kn kn kn kn kn kn kn knne knees! Knees!
I want to watch you bleed
In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Feel my - my – my serpen- tine!
Ooh, I want to hear you scream
In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Watch it bring you to your kn kn kn kn kn kn kn knne knees! Knees!
I want to watch you bleed
In the jungle!
Welcome to the jungle!
Watch it bring you to you
It's gonna bring you down, HA!#
The song ended with a long hold notes. Both feline and vulpine were using the whammy bar as fast as they could, creating a bit distortion on the guitar.
/Player Two Rocks!\
"Aw, damn it!" Levinski groaned
"It's okay. You'll get it next time."
"Really?"
"Not if I can help it, HA!"
But Levinski knew she was serious when trying to cheer him up. 'Never lose the spirit, that's one of many things I like about her…' he thought, then he spoke, "Well, today you're the Guitar Hero."
"We both are, Grass."
"Of course."
A/N : Okay, that's the wrap for the story. Also, there's an additional off-panel-y section. I know this story was supposed to be humor but I think I need more spice :p.
BTW, the long lyrics are funnier here, and more realistic.
Mobians Comedians in 'No Scream till BYOB'
Levinski was holding his mic, staring at the screen as the usual Guitar Hero vocal highway showed up. He was just starting the song.
If only it wasn't that filled with screams and not in high speed…
# YO!
[freeform]
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh whoa whoa whoa
[end of freeform]
WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SEND THE POOR?

Marching forward hypocritic and hypnotic computers!
You depend on ouuuur prote- *cough!* -ction!

A fast phrase and several glass of water later…
# …
Breaking into Fort Knox,
Stealing our intentiooooooons!
Hangars sitting dripped in oil, crying "FREEDOOOOOOOOM!" *cough!*#
Levinski quickly paused the screen and quickly threw his mic away as he already had enough.
"Alright, I think I'll just let Tails take the vocal position…"
Mobians Comedians in 'Inhuman Drum Rampage'
Amy was a good drummer, especially on Guitar Hero band play, hell she had FC'ed all the song on drums.
But there was also the time when she failed, not because she missed a note.
It starts today.
Everyone was already watching as she chose DragonForce's Through the Fire and Flames
Everything goes well, as she entered the Post-Insanity sections. She hit the drums with a speed that perhaps even Sonic couldn't match. Well, perhaps he could, but of course not the accuracy. After all, it was his brother who was the drummer, while he was a guitarist. The drum then died down as the verse came and the drum entered freeform section.
# On a cold winter morning
in the time before the light…
In flames of death's eternal reign
we ride towards the fight #
!
# When the darkness has fallen down
and the times are tough alriiight
The sound of eeeevil laughter
falls around the world tooonight!#
!
# Fighting hard! Fighting on for the steel!
Through the wastela-#
KA-BOOM!
Amy's drum kit exploded right in her face, couldn't take any more beating the hedgehog gave it. Everyone else stared at her, with her face covered with black ash and some of the drum leftovers.
"Oookay, I think you forced the drums too much, Ames… I mean, that was inhuman, er- I mean Inmobian rampage you went into" Sonic commented.
"Well, the album the song was in was called 'Inhuman Rampage'… So I thought I can just live up the name…"
Okay, references of title : 'No Scream till BYOB' was taken from Beastie Boys' 'No Sleep Till Brooklyn' song, while 'Inhuman Drum Rampage', well you already saw it back there…
Review please!
