A/N : There's gonna be lots of my OCs as audience in this one! So brace yourself! Eggman are also gonna be one of the (dis)honored guests. Even villains need to take a break with some rock 'n roll that's gonna break their eardrums. LOL
By the way, you might ran into characters that I haven't mentioned anywhere yet. But I'm sure you've met Epps, which is actually me. :)
In memories of Michael Jackson, RIP…
Chapter 6 : To Be The King of Pop!
Levinski and Starlight were glad to be invited for another Guitar Hero play. It's really rare, as the fox-boy always spent his time with the Seedrian he loved most. Levinski could still remember what he did to her, oh how it almost broke the brothers bond between him and Tails!
Anyway, in the lab, Tails and Cosmo had waited for both Levinski and Starlight. "Why are you all late? The audience are impatient" said Tails.
"What audience?" asked Levinski, but soon he noticed that a one-side holographic projector was on, showing the guitar hero game, possibly World Tour.
He looked back slowly, to see lots of people watching them! Let's list it, Sonic, Shadow, Amy, Knuckles, Julie-Su, Rouge, Cream and his mother Vanilla, the entire Chaotix, Silver, Blaze Epps, Streak, Sonorus, Gold, Griggs, Frost, Terrorblade, Bones, Rusher, Janice, and Accel. On the other side, labelled 'invited, but unwanted VIP' was Eggman, Decoe, Bocoe, Metal, the entire Suppression Squad, Crimson, Quake, Electricia and some other Axon's Iron Executioners that Levinski was not familiar of.
"WHAT THE HELL, TAILS?"
"Sorry, I'm late!" suddenly something black flew up and landed next to Cream. It was Bokkun. Levinski still remembered them dating, which somehow went smooth.
The fox turned back to his twin-tailed brother, and looking at him, he was about to turn vampire as his blue eyes starting to turn red. "Tails, what the fu-"
Another pair of guests coming. It was Ebony and Bloodrage. Levinski could only facepalm, now if he quit, those 'audience' that his 300-IQ-yet-retarded brother had invited will jump at him, dragging him back to stage, not caring alive or not, especially Crimson and the Executioners! Metal would've just blasted him with tens of his salvos, Electricia would've just electrify him directly until his head ex- no, don't think about it, Quake would force him to dance with his earth power.
No telling what horrible thing Crimson would. Probably makes him feel like burning in hell.
"Tails, you're dead" said Levinski, taking his instrument.
"Come on, Lev. Don't spoil the fun in the House of Blues!"
In response, Levinski tilted his head. Tails pointed up, pointing at a large 'HOUSE OF BLUES' banner, almost replicating that of Guitar Hero World Tour. Hell, there even was a printing on the bottom : 'In Blues We Trust'
"Okay!" said Starlight, a bit nervous, "W-what's gonna happen if we fail?"
"Oh probably burn us alive" said Cosmo, not caring, "Crimson would, at least"
"You two, are so dead."
"I've felt what it's like, haven't I?"
"Seriously, Cosmo. You should've retired being 56th sniper. It's messing up your head, badly. Any chance you got your head hit by a rifle?"
"Okay, what's the song?" asked Levinski.
"This one's from and for the late King of Pop, RIP." Tails replied.
"Yeah, by the way, you two also will RIP, as in 'Rest in Pieces'. It's Beat It right? We're gonna sing Beat It?"
"Yeah, and no. Star sings."
"And Moonwalk!" Julie-Su shouted.
"Guys, guys, please..." but Levinski's protest was useless as the crowds were chanting.
"MOONWALK! MOONWALK! MOONWALK!"
"Thank you, Julie" said Levinski, "You're currently on my To-Kill list, along with my brother and his girlfriend."
"Don't worry, I can do moonwalk, Grass"
Tails and Cosmo blushed to hear Levinski's comment, but didn't have time to enjoy the moment as the audience are impatient.
Starlight [Vocal] - Levinski [Guitar] - Tails [Bass] - Cosmo [Drum] - Beat It by Michael Jackson
The song started with guitar, hold note. Followed with more hold notes until Cosmo started to play her drums.
As the pre-verse came, Tails joined in, while Starlight, on a freeform section, started humming.
# Mmm, hmm hmm mmm, hmm, hmm mmm mmm.
Ooh, whoo ooo ooo, yeah, whoa, ooo #
The freeform ended, but not stopping her freeform singing until verse
# Do, do do, do, do do.
Do, do do, do, do do
They told him 'Don't you ever come around here'!
'Don't wanna see your face you better disappear'! #
The notes became a bit lower as the verse goes. Starlight kept dancing through the small stage. Levinski was taking all his concentration to the notes and tried to ignore the awkward, some unfriendly audiences.
# The Fire's in their eyes, and their words are really clear.
So ,beat it!
Just beat it… #
The audiences were amazed, though Bloodrage was a bit confused, being a vampire lived a very long time ago.
"What is she doing?" asked her to Sonic.
"Moonwalking"
"What, you mean like walking on the moon?"
As the second verse came, the note on Levinski's fretboard became a lot more complex. The fox was faced with several fast zig-zags and such. But being a good player, he was able to keep his multiplier in 4X.
# You better run, you better do what you- can!
Don't wanna see no blood, don't be a macho man!
You wanna be tough, better do what you can.
So, beat it
But you wanna be- bad! #
The chorus came, and the note reverted to pre-verse again. Cosmo started banging her drums a bit louder than usual, being excited. As Starlight sang, the others also sang the chorus.
# Just, Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be- de-fea-ted!#
The guitar went to a line of straight chords. Levinski easily hit them. Tails meanwhile still had the previous one. Cosmo... well, she always played the yellow notes, sometimes added with purple pedal bar or red notes.
# Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong who's right
Just, beat it!
Just, beat it!
Just, beat it!
Just beat it!
Oooh! #
The verse pattern came back again. In the seat, Epps whispered to Sonic, "I think they're gonna FC 'em."
"No kidding" he replied to his brown human-turned-hedgehog.
"I wish I was on Starlight's position though, despite having to moonwalk"
"Now you're sounding like Sonorus. Are you sure you're not Sonorus?"
"Sonorus have standing quills. Mine's just like you, and my hair is black."
"Good point..."
# They're out to get you, better leave while you can!
Don't wanna be a boy you wanna be a man!
You wanna stay alive, better do what you can...
So, beat It!
Just, Beat It #
"I wish it was Through the Fire and Flames" said Scourge to Fiona, "Then we can see Fox-Boy crying."
"And which one would that be?"
"Well, that Annie-commie doesn't like he's going to cry..."
"I heard that! And I'm not communist, Scourge!" Levinski shouted, still managed to play the notes smoothly, "And you dare calling me 'Annie' or 'Anatoly' one more time, you're gonna have this guitar smashed on your face when this song's done!"
"MJ's not gonna like him ruining the middle of his song like that..." said Rusher.
"If so, I think Starlight's possessed by him..." replied Janice.
Indeed, Starlight didn't like him ruining her vocal like that, and she almost missed the fourth verse.
# You have to show them that you're really not- scared!
You're playin' with you life this, this ain't no truth or dare!
They'll kick you, then they beat you, then they'll tell you it's- fair...
So, beat it!
But you wanna be- bad! #
The chorus came again, with same pattern. But now everyone used up their star power, all at same time. The song was amplified.
# Just, Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be de-fea-ted
Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong or right
Just, Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be- de-fea-ted!
Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong or right
Just, beat it beat it beat it beat it...
Beat it beat it...
Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh!#
The song stayed quiet for a time, then it came again.
# Beat it beat it...
Hhh! Hhh! Hhh! Hhh!
Beat it beat it... #
Then Levinski's note became the pre-chorus hold chords again, as Starlight kept singing that word, not to mention moonwalking now and then.
# Beat it beat it...
[Freeform]
Oooh! Hoooh hoooo Oooh! Hoooh hoooo-yeah~
Hee! hee- hee! Hee! hee- hee! #
Levinski soon went to hold notes, and soon started a solo, the first of which he did by sliding his fingers on the frets, hitting the purple string-connected notes without strumming at all. The next were 3 note hammer ons and some complicated ones, which he did easily and flawlessly. The neck sliders came again and once again, the green fox's fingers slid across the frets with high velocity. The audience felt a soft wind blew as he repeatedly slid his fingers.
Then it came to snakes, the fox quickly strummed the notes with no overstrum and nothing miss.
Though the rock meter was never down, the hype section Starlight was in increased the it, in other word keeping it on the right side.
# Whoooo~!
Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be- de-fea-ted!
Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong or right
Everybody now!#
As Starlight said that, the entire people, except herself sang the song. As if the cue, all star powers are active, amplifying the voices and instrumental sounds.
# (Beat it!) Whooo, hoh! (beat it...)
(Beat it! Beat it...)
(No one wants to be de-fea-ted!)
Oh boy!
(Showin' how funky...) Hee- hee! (...strong~ is your-fight)
Hee- hee- hee he! (It- do-esn't mat-ter) ...who's wrong or right
Just, beat it!
(Beat it!) Beat~ it~!
(No one wants to be- de-fea-ted!) Oh~ no!
(Showin' how...) Hee- hee! (...funky, strong~ is your) Hee-hee! (fight)
(It- do-esn't mat-ter...) Hhh! (...who's wrong or right)#
As the Star Power died down and the second last chorus was finished, Starlight started to sing regularly. And everyone seemed to enjoy the melody she brought, especially Levinski.
# Just, Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be de-fea-ted
Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong or right
Just, Beat it! (Beat it...)
Beat it! (Beat it...)
No one wants to be- de-fea-ted!
Showin' how funky, strong~ is your- fight
It- do-esn't mat-ter who's wrong or right
Just, beat it beat it beat it beat it...
Beat it beat it beat it... #
The song started to end. Levinski was on the fast single single hold chord again. Tails was on the easy triple green with long interval in the end.
# Beat it beat it beat it beat it...
Beat it beat it... #
Cosmo then entered the outro freeform and randomly banged her drums for the entry.
"/You Rock!\" Everyone shouted along with the screen announcement.
"Thank you, thank you. That's the Prower Pairs last performance for today." said Tails.
"Yes, and the last performance you'll ever do!" said Crimson, with flame on his hand.
"Oh no, you don't!" Tails then pushed a button near his bass, labeled 'Ejector Seat'.
The next second he did, the entire villain-filled seat was launched upward, sending everyone there out to the sky, creating a Mobian rainstorm across Mystic Ruins. As for Eggman, he somehow landed on his own base rather painfully with the head going first, along with Decoe and Bocoe.
"CURSE YOU, HEDGEHOG!" shouted Eggman, despite knowing that Sonic wasn't the one throwing him in the seat.
Back on the base, everyone was laughing out loud, even Bokkun who was safe on Cream's lap, though then he was scared that perhaps Eggman had a hidden speakers there.
"And that's why they're called 'Invited but Unwanted VIP'!" said Tails.
"And what would VIP actually stands for?"
"'Very Ignorant Person'." the twin-tail pointed a spring on each seat, which was reverted back to normal, "If they noticed, those springs will make it obvious to them that those were ejector seats"
"Yes, they are ignorant" the Russian-accented fox laughed again, "You just made my day, little brother!"
A/N : Okay, finished! And we got BYOB from Alexandra the Leopard! Too bad this'll have to wait for 3 songs (City Escape, The Devil Went Down To Georgia and Sweet Child O' Mine). Oooh the thrilling comedy. XD
I vote for Can You Feel The Sunshine!
Everyone : NOOOOO! *Hides away*
I was just joking, or was I? If I don't get any bright ideas, or if my idea is not rejected, I'll still do it.
TTFAF comes up for the next of my idea after that CYFTS (WTF, did I just shortened it?) or other idea that might come on my head.
Levinski : Yeah! Your messed up head!
Shut up, review please!
