A/N : Okay, the Mobius gig's next song is requested by Alexandra the Leopard!
Okay, to help me out, perhaps if anyone wants to add a song, they can search for videos of the full band on Guitar Hero first, or at least look for the gameplay referring to the instruments that was going to be played. For example, I searched for Guitar Hero Endless Possibility and I immediately got the guitar gameplay. Too bad there's no drum or bass so I can't actually get it to life to its best.
I think I've found Escape From The City's guitar play.
Remember that I don't look for the real play, only the Guitar Hero ones. Also, those who have already added a song on this gig can add another song, or request a replay, with different taste. Note that any replay will not be recommended though, I mean this is FanFiction. You can go back to previous song any time you want.
BTW, the previous face-offs were Pro Face-offs, but I used the wrong symbols.
Disclaimer : On the previous chapter, I forgot to tell that I don't own System of a Down's BYOB, which stands for 'Bring your own bombs'. And for this one, I don't own what I had stated on the previous disclaimers. And now I also don't own Survivor's Eye of the Tiger song. Also,Gaspar, Kourge and Molly are owned by Alexandra the Leopard. I do own the current vocalist (who only adds the spice on the face off, so he doesn't score…), Griggs.
Chapter 4 : Eye of Me?
Somewhere on a small house, on its wide living room, a purple bat was putting a pair of guitar controller and took a mike from the shelves in front of him. He then turned to his big-sized computer monitor. "Oh, boy! Now, I'm really going to…"
"Yo! Griggs!"
The bat groaned. He went to the door and opened it, revealing a male green and red tiger and female jaguar, dark purple fur color. "Molly, Kourge. Why are you here?"
"Simple, we want to play." Answered Kourge, who was of course, the tiger.
"Don't you already have a PS3? And a Guitar Hero III disk?"
"Yeah, but see… both the controllers were broken after Gaspar was on an inhuman rampage…"
"Ookay, why did those guys developing the game even put Through the Fire and Flames inside the game anyway?" Griggs scratched his head.
"After all, there's no bass face-off. Only co-op." added Molly
"Alright, you win. But I sing. I've been dying to sing a song after finally getting my own Logitech's USB Mic, was about to do it before you knocked into my doors."
"Oh, come on, Thompson. Just a song!" Kourge pleaded.
"Okay. Come in. But be sure that your baggy jeans and sneakers are clean. Frost just mopped it."
Kourge then re-aligned his leather jacket as he went in. "By the way, why are you and her in the same house anyway?"
"I'm her caretaker!"
"Isn't she already independent enough to take care of herself? I mean, she's almost your age"
"Oh shut up. If you were half-brainwashed and had a power to freeze an entire city, what would you do? Just wander up all alone with no one to keep an eye on you? And suddenly before you knew it, the entire Green Hill Zone turned into the North Pole because of you?"
"That happened before?" asked Molly.
"No, not yet."
The three was now on the living room. Both Kourge and Molly took the controller from the shelves. "Careful with your bracelet, I don't want my guitars to get any damage, especially not from those spikes" said Griggs.
"Oh, you worry too much."
"Hey, Molly. You're already sweating? Why, scared?" asked Kourge.
Indeed her shirt and tube top were already covered with sweat. But then she looked at the tiger, who also had his jacket and white t-shirt wet. "So are you!"
"Oh, sorry. I think I haven't turned on the AC!" said Griggs, also noticing that his black long-sleeved jacket was also wet. He took the remote and turned the AC on. Suddenly he heard a feminine yawn behind her. He turned back and saw Frost, wearing her usual purple jacket and fingerless gloves, similar like Kourge's. The gray eyed light-blue hedgehog still looked a bit sleepy as her eyes were still half-closed.
"Morning…"
"It's 4 p.m. Frost." Said Griggs
"Sorry. You guys are rock 'n rolling again?"
"Yup, me vs. Molly!" Kourge replied, "And of course I'm gonna win!"
"Let's see about that!"
"Well…" the hedgehog sat down, still feeling tired, "Maybe you can wake me more with it. What's the song?"
"The song is… what's the song, Griggs?" asked Kourge.
"Isn't it yours and Molly's choice?"
"Then I chose eye of you, Kourge!" Molly exclaimed.
"Eye of me… what?"
"I think it was Survivor's Eye of The Tiger. I mean, you're a tiger" Said Griggs.
"Oh, shut up, Gilfred Thompson…"
Kourge || Molly : Eye of the Tiger by Survivor
Both tiger and jaguar readied their instrument-like controller. The guitar played first, but since the both played bass, nothing came up their fretboards. As the guitar played the chord, both Kourge and Molly got a single orange note. Well, no chords when playing bass. It continued into orange blue orange, repeated, then orange red yellow, with yellow note held.
"That was hardly a challenge…" said Frost, "Guitars are far harder than that…"
"Oh, shut up. You're not the one playing." Molly scolded.
The pattern repeated again, then it's full orange, with long interval. Griggs still remembered that the guitar is filled with single-three note chord pattern on this section. The transition to yellow was a bit challenging as it was a fast green red red yellow, and due to the orange and green are on opposite ends, it was a bit surprising, for Kourge as he missed a single green.
It then went back to orange. Then repeated the transition pattern. As the verse was coming, the pattern changed to the previous orange, with a fast green red yellow blue in the end. It repeated again as the verse was sung, and so Griggs sings, although the vocal pitch highway wasn't there.
# Risin' up!
Back on the stree- et
Did my time
Took my chances #
The pattern repeated over and over, boring Frost to sleep. The only sensation was probably Molly sometimes lose the tempo.
# Went the distance,
Now I'm back on my feet.
Just a man
And his will to survive #
The pattern still stayed the same, but Kourge and Molly seemed to enjoy it.
# So many times
it happens too fa- st
You trade your passion for glo- ry #
The note started to change to yellow, with same tempo, then changed to blue. Both Mobians kept the notes strummed perfectly.
# Don't lose your grip
On the dreams of the past
You must fight
Just to keep them alive~!#
As the chorus began, the orange note was back, but now with more note variations. Then it went to green and rose and backed down again as the chorus go.
#It's the-
eye of The tiger, it's the thrill of a fight.
Risin' up to the challenge of our ri-val #
Molly lost the tempo as the pattern was changed just a bit. The bass started to become quicker than before, leading Kourge to lose his streak, although some of the note was hammer ons.
# And the last-
known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye~
of the tiger #
The second verse began soon, while the pattern reverted back to constant orange. Frost, who had already woken up after hearing the thunk sound, which means note miss or invalid strum, went back to sleep.
#Face to face
Out in the heat~
Hangin' tough
Stayin' hungry
They stacked the odds
Still we take to the street
For the kill
With the skill to survive~#
'Damn, if it stays like this, none of us is going to win…' Kourge thought, 'Unless…'
# It's the- #
[Kourge's Starpower Active!] [Molly's Starpower Active!]
# eye of The tiger, it's the thrill of a fight.
Risin' up to the challenge of our ri-val #
'Crap!' Molly and Kourge shouted in their mind simultaneously, 'How did he/she anticipate my movement?'
Both basses were caught in lightning, both the bass on the screen and the fretboard. The sound was also amplified, so it even rivaled the guitar's and drum's sounds, even the singer's too!
# And the last-
known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye~
of the tiger #
As the song reached 'Tiger', both star powers died down and the fretboard turned back to normal. Now both Molly and Kourge were even.
# Risin' up!
Straight to the top~
Had the guts
Got the glory
Went the distance
Now I'm not gonna stop
Just a man
And his will to survive #
The final chorus notes then came to the view, much more like the last chorus,
#It's the-
eye of The tiger, it's the thrill of a fight.
Risin' up to the challenge of our ri-val
And the last-
known survivor stalks his prey in the night
And he's watching us all with the eye~

As the hard bass notes were passed, the normal easy pattern came to view again, like the one before the verses. Both Kourge and Molly hit the notes easily, not missing a single note. Kourge tried his luck again as he activated his star power again. Now, Molly was unprepared, but activated her Star Power as she saw Kourge's fretboard was electrified. But she, activating her star power just when a note was about to arrive on the lines of fret, missed it, allowing Kourge to take the lead as her multiplier was down to 2X, while Kourge's was still the topmost 8X. 'Damn!'
#The eye of the tiger~#
Molly watched hopelessly as Kourge hit all the notes. She clearly hoped that somehow Kourge missed some notes, just enough to get the first position back to her.
#The eye of the tiger~#
Molly's hope came true as somehow Kourge lost the tempo of the song. Several thunks later, the meter was at the center top, "Yes!" Molly exclaimed.
#The eye of the tiger~#
Kourge wasn't giving up easily. He concentrated on the notes, building up his multiplier, waiting for more Star Power notes.
#The eye of the tiger~#
'Just one more…' Kourge thought
#The eye of the tiger~ [Kourge's Starpower Active!]#
Molly once again was losing. Kourge's notes were giving him the biggest score he could ever achieve. Soon enough, he was too far away to follow up.
#The eye of the tiger~#
The song came to an end. Molly knew she was going to lose this one…
/Player One Rocks!\
And she did.
"Damn it, damn it, damn IT! I was hoping to beat you this time!"
"It's 20 out of 40 for me! At least we're even."
Frost was waking up, after sleeping on the sofa, "Ya'll done yet?"
"Yes we are, you wanna sing, Griggs?" asked Kourge, "If you are, we wanna see."
"Well, then Griggs, give me a 'No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn'" Frost requested.
"One Beastie Boys' No Sleep 'Till Brooklyn comin' right up, ice princess."
"Stop that, Griggs"
A/N : No, one song per-chapter, except for the Mobians Comedians off-panels. And I'm not doing off-panels now.
For you readers' information, Shadow's Party Girl 96 has added Sweet Child o' Mine to the gig.
But of course, Escape From The City request and other second requests comes before that.
So, basically your song comes last on the second requests, 'C'. Then if no one still haven't requested, we'll do BYOB. Okay, now I'm feeling like singing that part on Guitar Hero youtube video that gets Alexandra the Leopard and me laugh to death. Consider this as substitute to off-panel.
1,2, 3, 4, Hit it…

Yes, the vocalist actually said 'beep', high pitched (the reason why there were no stars/effect indicator on it), which was actually not sounded on Guitar Hero due to it being 'f*ck' in real life, I mean, some people might've heard it, that's why they censored it. But seriously, that guy said 'beep'! XDXDXDXDXD
You are free to ask Alexandra because I don't feel like posting the link. I'm using phone that supports only low copy-paste.
No offense intended to any presidents in the world, living or not. I just like the song because it's hilarious.
Review please!
