Previously… on "The Gang – IN-COLOR"

Last time, The Gang arrived at Central City, in amidst of a zombie attack. The zombies were the undead Ho-kago Tea Time. However, they valiantly fought off the evil undead light music band, only to be defeated by the five girls in black uniforms and dead skins. But all of a sudden, Heaven sent for Panty and Stocking and took down the evil zombies.
Meanwhile, Michelle Nevins rescued Mikoto Suo, a big-breasted news reporter, from the zombie attack and took her to safety. Taking advice, she called AAW… but for what?
Also, Ui Hirasawa was about to confess everything about Yui Hirasawa and her band. Farra Stevens and Steven Nevins, who delivered the will and deed to her, is about to learn of a shocking truth.

Ui sobbed, as she was having tea with Farra and Steven N, "It was a terrible move to make. My sister wanted to be famous, but… She didn't have to go that far!"

Steven N said, "Okay, kid. You tell Steven Nevins what you know about the accident."

Ui wept, as she held her tears, "It's this way… They… They… I CAN'T TAKE IT! They were so young and stupid!"

Farra asked, "Stupid?! Your sister is dead!"

Ui confessed, "I admit it! My sister is NOT dead!"

They both gasped, "Yui Hirasawa is NOT dead?!"

Steven N roared, "Okay, child! You tell me what you need to know about Ho-kago Tea Time, RIGHT NOW, or Steven Nevins is going to make you talk, girl or not!"

Farra pleaded to him, "Steven, no need to go postal…"

She said to Ui, "Sorry. Ignore him. He gets high-strung, all the time."

Ui nodded, "I understand… But here's the thing… Yui-nee-chan just couldn't do this, for some publicity!"

They gasped, "Publicity?!"

Dynamite~! Dynamite~!

Chapter 49
Central City Frightmare (Part 2)

"REPENT, MOTHERFUCKER!" Panty hollered, as she fired Back Lace at Yui's head.

BANG!
The zombie was shot. However, it was unaffected. The others got up, as they, too, were unaffected by the slashing of Stocking.

"What the fuck?" Panty gasped, "They didn't blow up?"

Stocking gasped, as Mio and Ritsu hissed at her. She called, "Uh, Panty? These bitches aren't dead!"

Their weapons only kill ghosts. Zombies are immune by the heavenly weapons.

Panty groaned, "Of course! I forgot that they are zombies and not ghosts!"

Stocking moaned, "This fucking sucks!"

Mizuki cried, "It didn't work?"

Panty barked, "No shit, bitch! These guys are already pushing daisies! Our weapons don't work!"

The Gang then realized it and smiled in nervousness, "Oh…"

They saluted, "Whoops."

The angels cried, "WHOOPS?! FUCK YOU!"

The zombies grabbed the angels, as Panty shrieked, "AAH! DON'T BITE ME!"

Steven C shouted, "GANG! Rescue the angels!"

They charged at the zombies, as he added, "No worries! The good news is that you will not be affected by them! The bad news is… they hurt like the dickens!"

Mizuki and Asahi shove Tsumugi and Azusa off, rescuing Stocking. Panty was being grasped in the legs by Yui, Ritsu, and Mio. Peter shoved Ritsu down, while Steven C tripped Mio to the floor.

Steven C cried, "MAKE A RUN FOR IT!"

The Gang and The Angels ran out of the shack.

Panty cried, "This is some bad shit, Gang."

Mizuki cried, "SHUT UP AND RUN!"

They fled to the streets, as Ritsu hollered, "GET THEM!"

They tear down the shack, as the zombies marched off, in slow unison. Azusa then suggested that they'd run after them. Yui nodded and said, in zombie language, which is all they could say, that they never thought of it. Ritsu said that it'll be easier, in wheels. Mio retorted saying that they don't have driver's licenses. The zombie girls started running, as the heroes began to hide. They went inside a large building. Mizuki and Panty hammered the door shut, nailing board over the doors.

Stocking said, "You didn't tell us that we're dealing with fucking ghost zombies. And here I thought that Central City was a mass interjection of ghost folk."

Peter said, "No, it's my kind of people."

He smirked, "Even for undead freaks, I do declare this city as my second Chicago!"

Panty asked, "Not that I care, but you wanted to fuck that city, so much."

Asahi said, "Yeah. It's like you wanted to make it your favorite place."

Peter smiled, as he said, in confidence, "I declare this my 2nd Chicago, for one thing… It was where…"

They all were in awe. He then said, "It was where I started playing my first solo track!"

They all fell in a THUD, as Peter danced around, yet again.
"Great tasting gyudon for three hundred years
It's quick, and it's tasty, and it's very cheap
Ha-HA!"
(A cow bonks his head)

He added, "But this… a zombie attack, in this city, all because they wanted to see musical performers. It's a sad day."

Steven C said, "Whoa! Not once Peter has shown seriousness over a city, in danger, since F City!"

Heather sobbed, "What a great man!"

The doors pound, as Panty asked, "What the flying fuck, now?"

SMASH!
Yui smashed through the board, "BLOOD~!"

Mio ripped through a window and hollered, "Caaaaaake…"

Heather pleaded, "Panty! Stocking! Do something!"

Panty yelled, "What can we do? Our weapons don't work, remember?"

Heather replied, "Don't look at me!"

Panty snapped, "SHUT UP, BITCH! What's with you and the "Don't look at ME" shit?"

Heather said, "It is just… I have no clue…"

The girls ripped through the windows, as Steven shouted, "It's like they are everywhere!"

Stocking cried, "No kidding!"

Steven C said, "I GOT IT! Would you believe that I have a plan?"

The others huffed, "No."

Steven C snuffed and said, "Well, I'll tell you. Everybody knows zombies hate fire. So, how about we flare up a torch and zip out of the city, heading to safety! Steven Cooke will make the wood. Mizuki, Heather, we'll need fire."

Mizuki said, "Heather, try running in place, really fast, so the friction of your running will cause sparks and smoke to produce, setting up a hot area, which could produce fire. Try running in Mach 11."

Heather said, "I'm on it!"

Mizuki nodded, "A perfect plan… Thanks… TO SCIENCE!"

She started to run in place, very, very fast, as Panty asked, "How's that going to help?"

Mizuki held up a stick, as Heather was skidding on the floor, still in place. Sparks started to fly, as Mizuki tried to catch them. The torch was on fire, as Mizuki cheered, "It worked! Heather's Mach 11 produced fire!"

They placed the wood on a wheelchair, as Mizuki lit the bonfire. Heather opened the door, as Mizuki and Steven held the chair, calling out, "Let's end this!"

Panty cried out, "THAT SHIT WON'T WORK!"

Peter smiled, "Can't hurt to try."

"YES, IT FUCKING CAN!"

"How?"

But as Steven and Mizuki were about to shove the chair out…

"Hey, zombies! Eat fire!" Mizuki called.

She then said, "On 3! 1…"

…Steven's hands began to burn.

"YEEEEOOOOOW!"

He shoved the chair out, as he was screaming in pain. Mizuki cried out, "Steven! On 3, I said!"

Steven C winced, holding his nearly burnt hands, "Burns… Burns…"

Mizuki giggled, "Oh. A slight miscalculation…"

The chair rolled away, as the fire continued to flare. However, a gust of wind blew, extinguishing the fire. The Gang was shocked, as Ritsu snarled, "Fire… bad…"

The Gang, Asahi, and the angels shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

They entered the building, as Steven C cried, "BAD IDEA! BAD IDEA!"

Heather shouted, "QUICK! USE THE FIRE ESCAPE!"

They ran out of the building, heading to the fire escape, heading upwards.

Panty cried, "What now? What if the zombies bite us?"

Peter said, "They won't! They bit me, and I'm all right."

Mizuki said, "These are one pack of messed-up zombies."

Stocking cried, "WHAT? You mean they're not regular zombies? If they are special zombies, what does it mean? We need magical items, like holy water or silver bullets."

Mizuki said, "Well, the zombies won't make you one, but… They kill people."

Stocking yelled, "THEN WHAT MAKES THEM GHOSTS? Having to be in a Light Music Club?"

She said to the 4th wall, giving a thumbs-down, labeling it as bullshit, "That's weak sauce."

They ran up to the roof, as the zombies headed up the stairway.

Mizuki implied, "We can't hurt them. Our only option is to escape and devise a newer plan. Something tells me that their life signs are fading. We're sitting ducks, and we have NO transportation."

Panty said, "Can you call the Demon Bitches? Maybe they'll pick us up. They have this whacked-out limo, bigger than Percival's."

Steven C said, "I'll try. Steven Cooke will use the matter to summon our other friends."

Asahi asked, "Uh, one question… Where will we go, and how will we make it to their vehicle?"

Panty said, "There's an old gun store, close by. Call them, first, and then make a run for it."

Mizuki said, "It's worth a shot."

The zombies rose up, onto the roof, as they surrounded The Gang and their friends. Peter held up a huge tank of gas and shouted, "HEY! Zombies!"

He threw the tank in front of them, as Stocking asked Panty, "Fire when ready."

BANG!
BOOM!
She fired at the canister, causing it to explode. The girls shielded their eyes and themselves, as the others made a run for it to the gun shop.

"GO! GO! GO!" Panty shouted, "If the body's not rotting, then follow me!"

Steven C said, "That's a segue…"

XXXXX

Scanty said, as she was on the phone, "Uh-huh… Right. Leave it to us. Where are you now? WHAT? A Sex Store?"

Mizuki said, via the phone, "Yeah… Panty had made a mistake. Anyway, you saw the news about the zombies, right?"

"I get it. Central City… in a sex shop… down the street. And, ho… Those tawdry angels are with you?"

"Yeah. But we need to haul ass outta here. Get here, at once."

"Right. Over and out. I mean, ta-ta."

She hung up, as Kneesocks asked, "Who was it?"

Scanty said, "Believe it or not, it's Mizuki Takase. She wants us to rescue The Gang and the trollops from Central City, over five young zombies. I love it when the fecal-mouthed angels get what's coming to them."

Kneesocks remarked, "Dear sister, we're not chauffeurs, you know."

Scanty said, "It's fine. After all, our boss, Corset, has forbid us to fight and kill those angels… or we go to jail. Dear sister, step on it!"

Kneesocks remarked, "Right away. Driver, to Central City and step on it!"

Scanty added, "And a shuwacchi to you, for making it there, safely."

Kneesocks sighed, "You need to stay away from the plump one…"

Scanty groaned, "Remind me to avoid him, at all costs. I still got bad memories…"

They laughed, as G-String headed to Central City.

XXXXX

Steven C said, as they were at the Adult Shop, "Man. This may make or break our fan fic rating."

Stocking roared, "Don't blame the audience! Blame the fucking Panty! She's the one that brought us here to be trapped!"

Panty giggled, "Sorry. I'm in the market for some fuck items."

Peter and Asahi were nervous, as they averted their eyes, "So dirty…"

Heather said, "Steven and I never use trash like that. It's always pure love."

Mizuki said, "We're all adults, and after all… we're in the same age."

Panty said, "Not us. We're somewhat around 20… in the looks department."

Stocking added, "You don't want to know our ages."

Panty asked, as she stared at Asahi, "That reminds me, who the fuck are you, c(BEEP)bag?"

Asahi smiled and said, "Hi, Panty, is it? I'm Asahi Sakurai. I'm a friend of The Gang's."

Panty smiled back, "Cool! Pop Idol royalty! So, you're fighting with the heroes, too?"

Asahi remarked, "It's cool. It's only until Farra is healed up. After that, I'm going back to what I do…"

Panty then giggled, "So, tell me… Do you often have dirty moments to yourself, if not in a recording studio?"

Asahi blushed, "W-What? N-No… I'm… Well… I think…"

"Come on. I'll bet you diddled in private."

"NO! I, uh… well, you see…"

Stocking barked, "Leave her alone! She's obviously a prude idol."

Asahi complained, "If you're implying I masturbate, during my breaks, forget it! I DON'T! It's sickening, and it ruins my status!"

Mizuki said to her, "Calm down, Miss Sakurai."

Panty preached to her, "She's the exact girl of saintly humbleness…"

She scoffed, "Either that, or she's a fucking wuss."

Asahi snapped, "What's that supposed to mean?"

Heather gasped, "Guys?"

She pointed out the window, as they saw the zombies return, heading to the adult shop. They gasped, as Mizuki said, "Well, no use trying… We'll wait until the Demon Sisters arrive."

Peter shivered, "Uh… How can we wait?"

Scanty cried, as the limo arrived, "WE MADE IT! And now, we'll save The Gang and NOT the angels! Maybe we'll break a few rules, as we rescue Percival's friends, but our grudge is on the angels!"

Kneesocks said, "I'll have a look and see if we arrived. But you know, you cannot celebrate in a very overexcited state. Try to relax and relish the thought-."

Scanty laughed, as she was celebrating, "Oh, this is exciting! For the first time, since ever, we did something right!"

Kneesocks asked, "Sister?"

"WHOO! We so rock!"

"SISTER, LOOK!"

The Demons saw the Ho-kago Tea Time zombies, as they were by G-String. They grabbed the limo, from the bottom, and were about to tip it over.

Mio snarled, "Flesh… Red flesh…"

Scanty winced, "Oh, drat."

They heaved G-String up and over, as the Demons screamed in fear.

Mizuki gasped, "STEVEN, LOOK!"

Stocking cried, "It's G-String!"

CRASH!
The limo tipped over, upside-down.

"NO!" Steven C cried.

The limo exploded, into a huge flame, as the Demons and Fastener quickly escaped in a huge ATV jeep. They dashed to the store, as Scanty called, "Need a lift?"

Panty said, "Well, fuck me in a keyhole. You guys made it, in time."

Kneesocks said, "Sorry, but this can only fit four. Since our limousine was totaled, we used our back-up vehicle."

Scanty nodded, "Right. You two trollops hop on. The Gang will have to follow us, too."

Heather said, "I'll use my super speed!"

Peter trembled, "Can we hurry?"

The zombies turned to The Gang, as they were shivering. Scanty cried, "HURRY! HOP IN!"

A voice then cried, "DO NOT GET IN THAT HELL JEEP!"

Garterbelt appeared, as he called to the others, "Guys, bitch angels, demon brats, and Miss Sakurai, whatever you try to do, there is a source of evil that is terrorizing these poor souls."

Panty yelled, "Yeah, well, you didn't tell us they were zombies!"

Garterbelt held up a paper, which said "Music", "Perhaps we're looking at this, all wrong. Anyway, you guys will take my ride."

He whistled to the sky, as a huge white sedan appeared, by the back way. He addressed, "Panty & Stocking, you ride with the Demon Sisters! The Gang and Miss Sakurai will drive with me."

Asahi blushed, "Shotgun."

Peter, Steven C, and Heather groan, "AW, DRAT IT!"

The Gang head inside his sedan, as Asahi asked, "Uh, how did you know we were in danger?"

Garter responded, "My ass is everywhere, making sure ALL the alternate worlds are in peace, and heavenly protected. Now get in!"

Panty and Stocking went to the back seat, as Panty asked, "Why are you being nice to us?"

Scanty snuffed, "Less talking, more getting your cute rear ends seated, before we get killed by these living corpses."

She continued, "Now, let's get the wha outta here!"

They all drove off, as the zombie girls halted at the front door. The vehicles escaped the city, as Ritsu chased after them. Mio halted her and snarled, "Uh-uh…"

Ritsu moaned, "Blood…"

BONK!
Mio hit Ritsu's head. She snarled, "No!"

She pouted, as Yui was tired.

XXXXX

Outside the city limits, moments later, everyone regrouped, as Mizuki told the Demons and Angels about Ho-kago Tea Time.

Scanty gasped, "What? You mean those zombies are Ho-kago Tea Time?"

Kneesocks was shocked, "Amazing… This isn't our doing, but what a surprise."

"You mean those bitches are the Ritchie Valens of Light Music?" Stocking asked.

Garterbelt said, "The Day the Music Died II – After School Tea Time. Those girls had a young life, beating off Ritchie Valens, Buddy Holly, and the Big Bopper. Young girls, rock star life, and such dutiful blessings."

Scanty said, "Wait… You mean those girls from the plane crash, in the AUs? That's terrible! And now they're undead zombies?"

Heather asked, "Hold on. The Day the Music Died? But that happened-."

"February 3rd, 1959," Garter said, "The girls died on that same day, before the alternate fuck fest came to pass. It was on February 3rd, 2009; fifty years since the first accident. A terrible day for Light Music, as the band fell to the same fate, as does 50 years ago. But now, I'd like to know why the fuck did they return as undead hookers, feasting for blood and NOT making armies of the undead?"

NOTE: "K-On!" debuted on April 3rd, 2009, two months AFTER the accident, but the manga debut in 2007

Steven C said, "I read about the first accident."

Peter remarked, "I never knew they died, at the same day."

Heather smiled and said, "You should lay off the video games."

Steven C said, "Father, Steven Cooke is confused. How can they have died, without their instruments? Could it be… suicide?"

Garterbelt said, as he turned to him, "I am unsure. I had a word with God and said that the only way to fight fire with fire is use their element."

Asahi said, as she got up, "That's it! Music! It's their element! We can lure them here, and try to capture them!"

Steven C suggested, "WAIT! I got a better idea! We'll play a tribute concert, to supplement the memory of the band. That way… the girls will rest in peace."

Scanty smiled, "I like the idea! Count us in, on this plan!"

Asahi smiled, "I like it!"

Mizuki smiled, "Thanks! Steven made a great idea, but there is one flaw."

Steven C thought, "Right… They play instruments…"

Panty groaned, "SHIT! We make a great plan, and you fucked up one small detail!"

Heather moaned, "But where will we get some instruments, before the zombies leave?"

A female voice cried, "RIGHT HERE!"

The Gang's van arrived, as Michelle waved to them, "Hey, guys!"

Peter cried, "It's Michelle!"

Panty pouted, "Oh, great. The dude who is a chick…"

Michelle said, "I overheard your plans of a concert. Count me in."

Steven C said, "Yeah, but we need our instruments."

Michelle headed to the back and said, "No need. I had Yagi and Iizuka on the horn… and…"

She opened it, viewing Ho-kago Tea Time's instruments – Yui's Gibson Les Paul, Gita, Ritsu's Yamaha Hipgig Drum set, Mio's 3-color Sunburst Fender Jazz Bass, Azusa's Fender Mustang guitar, and Tsumugi's Krog Tritan 76-key electric keyboard.

Mizuki said, "This is…"

Heather gasped, "That's Ho-kago Tea Time's instruments!"

Steven C said, "It may be worth a shot. The guitar of Yui's wasn't in the plane crash. It means one thing… We'll use their instruments and lure them here!"

Mizuki responded, "And how's this? If they show up, we'll play one of their favorite hits."

Kneesocks requested, "Can you play "No, Thank You"?"

Panty asked, "How about Cagayake Girls?"

The Gang pondered, as Steven C had an idea, "I got it!"

He ordered, "Mizuki, translate the lyrics, while the rest of us set up a stage, outside the limits of Central City. Steven Cooke will win, in the end, as we'll try and soothe the zombies with their own licks!"

Michelle said, "Only one problem… We have to build the stage."

Panty said, as she held up a hammer, "You leave it to all of us. But on one condition, you give us the opening act. The D.C. Angels with Devils will perform, for the first time ever!"

Scanty laughed, "Ooh… I love to rock out!"

Kneesocks said, "Sounds delightful. We'll rock out in two songs. You two have a request?"

Panty smiled, "You leave the lip singing to us, fuckwads."

Steven C said, "GREAT! Gang, let's rock out!"

They all went to the van, to rehearse, as Garterbelt rode with the angels and demons, back to Central City.

Asahi asked, "So, what will we sing?"

Steven C said, "I have a hunch on what to bring the zombies into hiding."

The next day, the stage was built, as the angels and demons were hammering away, fixing the stage, to make sure it is sturdy enough. Then, there were fliers, handed out to the surviving population of Central City. The Gang was practicing, in another area, away from the city. The zombie Yui found a flier and snarled, "Light… Concert…"

The flier said "Ho-kago Tea Time Memorial Tribute Concert – 5PM at Central City's Downtown Plaza; performing – The Gang (w/Asahi Sakurai) and DC Angel/Devil Combo"

Yui hissed, as she was confused, "Where… plaza…"

She walked off, as she went to a small apartment.

Meanwhile, at Ui's house, Steven and Farra got a text from Percival.
"Steven, Farra,
Come to Central City, when you are done. We have a major zombie breakout going on. Meet with the others, if you can. We'll need all the help we can. They'll explain later. Also, tell them to meet me at West Plaza, when you're done.
Percival"

Farra gasped, "Zombie attack?"

Steven N said, "Worse than we feared…"

Ui pleaded, "Please… Don't hurt my sister…"

Steven N said, "Ui, I promise that we will protect her. But your story, after what you said, makes sense on this matter."

Farra said, as she went to the door, "Less talking, more getting to Central City. And hurry!"

They ran off, as Ui prayed for Yui.

"Sis… I love you… Don't become in danger of this disastrous scheme of yours."

At the Rolls Royce, Steven N barked, "I don't know why, but The Gang needs our help, whether they like it, or not! Ui Hirasawa told us the whole story about the Ho-kago Tea Time, and we finally have them cornered!"

Farra said, as she was worried, "I hope so, too. Whatever is going on, I hope the others are okay."

At Central City, at dusk, the Angels and Demons played their songs, on-stage, as the fans cheered.

Panty called to the microphone, "Wassup, boys?"

The fans cheered, "Ladies and gentlemen, we have time for one more song, before the main course of our musical interlude! Here's a song that you people know and love, because we, the survivors of Central City, wanted to make sure that HTT will rest in peace and live on, in our hearts!"

She murmured, "Ew. Gag me with a dildo…"

She called out, "Okay! Stocking on bass, Kneesocks on Electric Guitar, Scanty on keyboard, and Chucky on the drums! Here's a DC original – D City Rock!"

Chuck barked, tapping the drumsticks, "Chuck, Chuck, Chuck, Chuck!"

The band began playing "D City Rock".

The song is from the Panty & Stocking series, which is fitting for the chapter.

(Music begins)

I'm breaking the news, now boys! Us girls
We're full-time horny, too!

Hey, check out that hot one. Damn.

Get it up, so I can see!

Anarchy!

Anarchy-y-y-y, yeah!
Ya'll ready for the gig?!

(Music break)

As the Angels and Demons continued to play, Asahi was backstage with Steven C, both wearing a blue blazer with blue pants. She responded, "Well, I'm used to frilly dresses… but your Gang attire's been done."

Steven C said, "It's our gig clothes. Of course, if you want to switch to skirt, I'll tell Mizuki to fit you into one."

She asked, "Thanks. So, what's the plan? How will we sing, while the zombies come?"

Steven said, "Easy. Once the band is done playing, they'll keep an eye out on our guests. But, of course, we're going to play ALL our songs, including the song by HTT. That will be the Encore. When the zombies come closer, we'll play the encore, as we planned. We played those songs in rehearsal, hours ago. And we did well…"

Asahi nodded, "Well, I don't like it, when we sing in English."

"Nonsense. It's nice that you learn something new, right? I mean, other than you cussing, of course."

"I am sweet and very beautiful, but I have no evil bone in me… This is new to me, cussing like those angels. It's like an old saying: If you cannot say something nice, don't say anything, at all. That's why I cuss, on occasions."

"I see. But this is different. You're older, and you still act like yourself. Trust me. Steven Cooke never had a very dependable ally, than you."

Asahi blushed, as the music ended, "Thanks, Steven…"

She kissed him on the cheek and said, "You're a swell guy."

Steven C winked, "Anytime at all, homey."

Panty called to the stage, "After School Tea Time, god bless you gals! Good night, Central City!"

The crowd roared in cheers, as they left the stage.

Stocking smiled, "All yours, loser."

He called to The Gang, in matching blue suits and pants, with Mizuki and Heather in blue skirts, "Okay, guys! It's show time!"

Michelle, in her black jacket and jeans, said to Steven, "I'll be backstage, while you guys perform. The Demons will take stage right, while the angels take stage left."

Steven C shook her hand and said, "Don't let us down, Michelle."

Michelle smiled, "Don't be bloody senile. I got this. It's in the bag, like a cat with two heads and nine tails."

Panty said, "That would be one fucked up feline…"

Michelle boasted at Panty, "Oh, what? You're saying that kind of line is sodding stupid?"

Panty explained, "No, Michelle, it's not. But anyway, before they perform, I wanted to say off my chest that I find you hot and very fuckable. However, I never noticed that you were a woman. Anyway, long story short, before The Gang goes on…"

She bowed and said, "I'm sorry."

Michelle smiled and said, "No, I'm sorry. I should've told you, sooner. But I guess me brother was my main focus…"

Panty griped, "Yeah, try scolding him for saying my name wrong!"

Michelle shook her hand and said, "Well, Knickers, you stay out of trouble. I hope you find what you want."

The Gang left to the stage, as Panty was fuming in anger, "Goddammit! I'm sick of being called Knickers!"

Kneesocks exclaimed, "She's calling you knickers, since it's short for knickerbockers, which is male underwear."

Scanty laughed, "Now who's the dude?"

The Demons laughed heartily, as Panty sighed, "I knew that… Fucking limey…"

The Gang was on-stage, as Steven was by the microphone.

"Hey, kids!" He cheered, "I am Steven Cooke, and WE are The Gang! Ladies and Gentlemen, I'm your lead guitarist for today! Joining me are my friends and bandmates! On the drums, played by the one and only Ritsu Tainaka, our originator, Heather Dunn-Nevins!"

Heather plays a solo, as the crowd cheered. Steven C continued, "On the 76-key keyboard, our Sexy Girl from down east, Mizuki Takase!"

Mizuki played a chord, as the crowd cheered on. He continued, "On the Fender Jazz Bass, played by Mio Akiyama, he's the man, himself, Big Peter Giese!"

Peter played a bass tune, as Steven C added, "And on rhythm guitar, replacing Farra Stevens, who is injured, on the Cherry Gibson, played by Azusa Nakano, the lovely and talented Asahi Sakurai!"

Asahi played a ripping solo, as the fans cheered for her. He thought, "Whoa! She played a guitar solo, even better than Farra's. Asahi rocks!"

He then said, "And normally, I'd play the microphone, but on Yui Hirasawa's best friend, Gita, is yours truly. And ladies and gentlemen, we are here, in tribute of the best band in the world… After School Tea Time! Kids, it was on that sad day, Feb. 3rd, 1959… Buddy Holly, Ritchie Valens, and The Big B Bopper… They died in a plane crash in Iowa… Fifty years later, in which the five of us were here, After School Tea Time suffered the same fate, in a European Plane Crash heading to Stockholm."

He continued, "So, tonight, not only we'll play our songs, Beatles songs, and classic cover tracks, we've got a surprise song for you guys, for our favorite girl band, the HTT."

The fans cheered, as Steven C cried, "Well then… It's show time!"

Heather bangs her sticks and called out, "1, 2, 3, 4!"

They began to play songs, as the fans cheered on. The Gang did some of their classic hits, including "I'm Here", "Hardly Away", and "Play the Sound (for the Fans)". They also had Peter and Heather sing some songs, too. But their biggest song was in Ho-kago Tea Time's songbook, entitled "Cagayake Girls", sung by Asahi.

Even if you are late, leaving early is a NON NON NON
We'll go out study after school

(Music continues)

As the song played, throughout the city, the zombie girls were leaving Central City. Yui stopped and heard the song, "Cagayake Girls".

She moaned, "Music…"

She walked off, as the others followed. They moaned in a trance-like tone, "Music… Light… Music… Light… Music…"

The Gang finished "Cagayake Girls", as Steven called to the audience, "Folks, we had a lot of fun! But now, we have time for one more song…"

The zombies appeared, from far away, as Mizuki signaled to Steven, "Hey, Steven… Our guests have arrived."

Steven smirked, "Way boss!"

He called to the audience, "Folks, once again, we are The Gang! And I'd like to pause for a moment, and say something, on behalf, and for memory of our fallen band… It was in the band's second year, during the Culture Fest, and Yui had this to say, before the next song. And I quote, "When we started the Light Music Club, a.k.a. After School Tea Time, our slogan was gonna be "Budokan or Bust"! I can't really say that we devoted ourselves into practicing, but right now, for us, standing here on this stage… THIS is our Budokan! And we'll sing our hearts out, until the very end!"

He added, as the fans cheered, "Kids, while they didn't live the dream of Budokan, we did! WE played in Budokan, and kids, let me say this… Yui, Ritsu, Tsumugi, Mio, and Azusa… One day! One day, if you were still alive, the fans want to see you in Budokan, one day! And THAT is a promise!"

The fans cheered wildly, as Steven held Gita up and said, "AND NOW… OUR surprise song! It's the legendary song that made After School Tea Time #1!"

The Gang began to play "Fuwa Fuwa Time". Steven called on the microphone, "FUWA FUWA TIME, KIDS!"

**I DO NOT own the song, but I translated the lyrics into The Gang's version of Fuwa Fuwa Time**

(Music begins)
(Steven C): Whenever I look at you
my heart just goes DOKI-DOKI
This feeling is jiggly
like a marshmallow FUWA FUWA

You are working oh so hard | (Mizuki): (You are working oh so hard)
Trying like you always do | (Mizuki): (Trying like you always do)
Focused on the things you do
you never seem to stray away

But every time you look at me | (Asahi): (Every time you look at me)
(Steven, Asahi, & Mizuki): …when in my dre-eams
(Steven): The path is when I'll be close to you

(The Gang): Oh, God, please
Give me a wish
to have some more time
(Steven): When we'll be together
just the two of us

(The Gang): Oh, I am cuddling
with my fluffy bunny doll
that I'm holding tight
(Steven): Come on, Dream Land! Take me away!

(Steven): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Asahi & Mizuki): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Fuwa Fuwa Time)

The music continued, as Scanty was in awe, "Fuwa Fuwa Time! The band's classic hit! The Gang is reeling the zombie girls in!"

Kneesocks huffed, "Some people have a choice of taste, when it comes to songs, such as that."

Michelle smiled, "Brilliance. Sheer brilliance."

Panty snobbed, "So, this is their secret weapon?"

Garterbelt replied, "It's their final ace in the hole. If this doesn't work, nothing will."

But as the song continued, the zombies of Ho-kago Tea Time were headed to where the commotion was. Yui heard the song and hummed a few bars. She gasped, as she recognized the guitar chords.

"Gita?" She gasped.

She ran off, as the other undead girls chased after her.

The Gang continued the song.
(The Gang): Oh, God, please
Give me a wish
to have some more time
(Steven & Asahi): When we'll bring a miracle
for just this once

(The Gang): Oh, afterwards
when I talk to him
then it's NO problem
(Steven & Asahi): Come on, Dream Land! Tell me the same.

(Steven): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mizuki): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
(Asahi): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mizuki): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
(Steven): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mizuki): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
(Music ends)

The fans cheered wildly, as the zombies headed closer to the stage. Steven C said, as he saw them, walking through the crowd, with some fans screaming in terror, "Uh, oh. Here comes the After School Nightmare Club."

They hopped onstage, as Scanty cried, "This is terrible!"

Garterbelt barked, "Angels, time to stop being lazy and get them off the stage! I DON'T CARE! Get those fucking bitches off the stage, now!"

Michelle halted Garter and said, "No. Father… Let it stand alone. I have a feeling about this…"

Stocking complained, "But… But The Gang and Miss Sakurai are going to die!"

Michelle shook her head and said, "Be patient. It'll all work out, in the end."

A Rolls Royce arrived, outside, as Steven N saw the stage, "Huh? What the hell?"

Farra asked, "A stage? Since when is there a concert in Central City?"

She gasped, as she saw Yui approach Steven C. She cried, "STEVEN! Oh, no! The guys are in danger!"

Steven N cried, "I'm with you! Heather is in danger, as well! COME ON!"

They ran to the stage, as Asahi signaled to them, "No. Look."

Yui grabbed the guitar and moaned, "Gita… Gita?"

Steven C asked, "Is this yours?"

Steven N thought, "What the hell is this?"

Farra thought, "Is that…? No, it can't be."

The others approached The Gang, in their respective instruments, as Heather gave the drumsticks to the zombie Ritsu. She smiled, "It's yours, now, girl. May you rest in peace."

Ritsu smiled, as she held her sticks high.

Asahi gave Azusa her guitar and said, "Here. You can have it."

Peter trembled in fear, as he gave Mio her bass guitar back. Mizuki stepped back, as the undead Tsumugi was by her keyboard. The Gang stepped back, as Farra whispered, "Dude! What the hell is going on?"

Peter smiled, "AM I GLAD TO SEE YOU?"

Heather said, "Steven and Michelle had a plan! I think it's working!"

Steven N shouted, "YOU IDIOTS! Don't you know that these zombies are terrorizing the cities?"

Farra said, as she looked, on-stage, as Yui held her guitar, "No, wait! Are they…"

Steven C nodded, "Yes. Ho-kago Tea Time."

Farra gasped, "WHAT?"

The Gang went backstage, as Yui strummed her guitar, "Gita?"

But suddenly, the zombies suddenly felt a burst of energy inside them. Tsumugi began playing the keyboard, while Ritsu played the drums.

Steven N gasped, "No way…"

Mizuki said, as she was confused, "But they are dead! How can they be playing, while they are dead?"

Steven C said, as Azusa and Mio played the guitars, "It's because it's their final wish… They play here, as it was Budokan, for the final time."

Farra said, "Uh, douchington… We need to talk."

Yui started playing, as white auras surrounded the entire band. The girls suddenly started to rock out, while the fans started cheering.

"YOU ROCK, YUI!"
"ALRIGHT, MIO!"
"ROCK ON, AZU-NYAN!"
"I LOVE AFTER SCHOOL TEA TIME!"

Panty asked, "Uh, what the fuck is going on?"

Kneesocks cringed, "This is beyond weird… They're like…"

The band started to speak clearly, as Yui cheered, "Fuwa Fuwa Time, guys!"

Garterbelt smiled, "It's true. They are being reborn…"

He prayed, "Yui Hirasawa. God is giving you a second chance. Rock on, pretty rockers! Rock on!"

Stocking snorted, "Oh, please. That's bullshit, right there."

But then, as the band played, Yui started to sing clearly, singing "Fuwa Fuwa Time (Encore)".

(Music begins)

(Yui): HELLO, CENTRAL CITY!

(Yui & Mio): aa KAMI-SAMA onegai
futari dake no
Dream Time kudasai

o-ki ni iri no usa-chan
daite
kon'ya mo OYASUMI

(Yui): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mio): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
(Yui): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mio): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)
(Yui): Fuwa Fuwa Time | (Mio): (Fuwa Fuwa Time)

(Music closes)

(Music ends)

Garterbelt smiled, "Beautiful final request."

Scanty cheered on, "WHOOOOOOO! AFTER SCHOOL TEA TIME!"

Kneesocks sighed in regret, "Is she a fan of these girls?"

The fans cheered, as Steven C gave a thumbs-up to Yui. But then, the girls suddenly changed.

Mizuki gasped, "Steven! LOOK!"

Steven C smiled, "What the wha?"

Yui's skin suddenly changed to fair skin color, as her body started to regain life. The others regained their color, as well. The fans stopped cheering, as Yui looked around.

"Huh? Where am I?" She thought.

She looked at her guitar and gasped, "Gita? Is that you?"

She hugged it, as Peter cried, "DUDE! The zombies got human skin!"

Mizuki said, "I think that they have been brought back to life!"

Yui laughed, "I don't believe it! I'M BACK!"

One fan shouted, "HEY! THEY AREN'T ZOMBIES!"

Another fan cried, "HEY, YEAH! They're alive, through magic!"

A third shouted, "GOD SAVE THE AFTER SCHOOL TEA TIME!"

A fourth fan yelled, "YAY! BEST CONCERT EVER!"

The fans cheered wildly, with most of them in tears, knowing that Ho-kago Tea Time had been revived, and fully revitalized.

"THEY CAME BACK! OH, HELL YEAH!"
"WELCOME BACK, MUGI-CHAN!"
"MIO! RITSU! YOU CAME!"
"I LOVE AFTER SCHOOL TEA TIME!"
"THE GANG IS HEROES! THE HTT CAME BACK!"

Garterbelt then hollered, "Ho-kago Tea Time – God gave you life, ONCE AGAIN!"

Stocking said, "Seriously, you need to calm the fuck down."

Mio said, "Huh? Weird…"

Ritsu was dizzy, rubbing her head, "Man… What have I been eating?"

Yui waved to the crowd, "This is awesome! Mio-chan! Ri-Chan! Mugi-chan! Azu-nyan! We're on-stage!"

She then looked at The Gang, as they waved to their fellow band. She thought, "I don't know why, but… They did all this for us?"

The band bowed, as Yui cheered on, "I LOVE LIGHT MUSIC!"

The fans chanted, "Ho-kago! Tea Time! Ho-kago! Tea Time!"

Steven N said, "This is bizarre…"

Peter asked, "So… What did you want to tell us?"

Farra said, "Yeah… We're better off telling you, after the show."

Steven C then felt confused. He then griped, "Wait a minute…"

He yelled, "YOU MEAN TO TELL ME THAT THEY WERE ALIVE, ALL ALONG?!"

Farra huffed, "Idiot…"

Backstage, Steven N told the story of what Ui Hirasawa said, about the sudden plane crash.

Ui told everything to Steven Nevins and Farra Stevens.

"You see, it was on February 3rd, and Yui-nee-chan and her friends wanted to make a publicity stunt, in order to make sure that they wanted to make a huge splash in the music industry. At first, Mio was against the idea, until Ri-Chan agreed to make it happen. So, on the 3rd, they staged a plane crash in Sweden and make it act like that the band was in the plane crash. They hid in obscurity, until they confirmed that the girls were killed. And that was when they decided on the zombie idea… Yui-nee-chan was supposed to explain further, but she suddenly disappeared."

Farra and Steven N said, "The alternate world fusion…"

Steven N stated, "So, you mean to tell me that Steven Nevins heard that After School Tea Time died in a plane crash, but it turns out to be a hoax. The Gang has looked up to the band, trying to comfort you, only to realize that you didn't want the estate, only for your sister. You just wanted Yui Hirasawa back."

Farra said, "I think what she meant was that the band's TRUE intention was the publicity and notoriety. It could be you-know-who."

"Whatcha talkin' 'bout, Farra?"

"Simple. If they disappeared, it has to be the Alternate World's mind fuck fusion. Yui and her friends disappearance is no coincidence. It was staged… not only for further stardom, but for Onigiri…"

"Onigiri?"

"Tohru Honda. She is an evil woman that has terrorized the alternate worlds, long after Chris McLean died. The girl is #1 in the LSAAWS and AAW's Most Wanted list, and I believe that Onigiri is responsible for the girls' disappearance."

Ui cried, "NO! If that is true, then… Oh, Yui-nee-chan!"

She wept, as Steven N barked, "NO! Enough of your crying! Steven Nevins cannot stand to see you cry for your dead sister, any further! Granted that she has faked her death, but it's not the end of the world! Yui Hirasawa is alive, and we'll find her for you!"

Farra snuffed, "But how, Blue Blood Dynamite?"

Steven N said, "No idea. And here I thought the girls' disappearance was something else."

Farra concluded, "And that was when we got the text from Percival to come here. But I see that you handled it, already."

Steven C said, "So, all this was a publicity stunt gone awry…"

Steven N asked, "But what I like to know is who did it, and how did this happen?"

Michelle said, "I did. It was during my rescue mission of Mikoto Suo that she told me this."

Mikoto said, "Well, don't they usually have their instruments with them, whenever they are undead?"

Michelle said, "Well, funny thing. Their instruments were left in the mansion, owned by Yui Hirasawa. It boggles the mind of how they died, without taking their instruments with them."

Mikoto nodded, "I guess you're right. Maybe… Maybe they died, after an attempted publicity stunt…"

She shrugged her shoulders and said, "Oh, well. Zombies like them should focus on music, rather than destruction."

She continued, "That was when I sprang into action, until the Angels and Demons offered to help, too. I knew that if they are NOT zombies, then there's one surefire solution – their own music."

Steven C nodded, "And we have succeeded in putting on a rock concert, in order to trap the zombies. But it turns out that the zombie girls turned out to be a fraud."

Mizuki said, "Garterbelt said, before he left with the Angels, that the evil control of the undead had freed them of their imminent demises. They are given a second chance in life. But that is how it goes."

Farra cried, "You had a concert and you didn't invite us?"

Steven N said, as he was serious, "Can it, Farra! What we just saw was a heroic action by The Gang, reviving the After School Tea Time back to the land of living."

He turned to Michelle, "And it was all thanks to you, Sis."

Michelle blushed, as she smiled a little, "Oh, stuff and nonsense… I only brought their instruments back."

Steven C said, "Now… The only question about these girls is… Why?"

A voice called, "HEY!"

It was Yui, Mio, and Ritsu. They were approaching them, as Peter shrieked, "Oh, no! NOT AGAIN!"

Asahi smiled, "I'm happy you're alive again."

Yui bowed, "Oh, it's no problem. I am very grateful that you made me reunite with Gita, again!"

Mio said, "We wanted to thank you for freeing us. For this, we are forever in your debt, The Gang."

She glared, "And that's the last time we listen to Ri-Chan's hare-brained schemes."

Ritsu said, with a lump on her head, "Yeah, yeah… I won't scare the fans like that, again… But we are great to be back."

Heather smiled, "Anything to play for you guys!"

Steven C smiled, "The Gang and HTT are fellow bands. We rockers have to stick together."

He and Yui high-fived, as Asahi asked, "Just one thing… How did you end up as zombies?"

Ritsu said, "Oh, that. We decided to stage our deaths, so we can make a huge publicity stunt. And we totally had the idea of using latex makeup to portray our decaying selves. Mio had to shiver in fear, since she was going to be a zombie girl."

Mio barked at her, "You're crazy! I didn't want to be a zombie!"

Ritsu said, "But when we decided to terrorize our fans, we suddenly ran into a woman with a blue school uniform."

Asahi gasped, "No…"

Steven C asked, "What did she look like?"

Mio said, "Let's see… She had long brown hair… a blue summer uniform, short-sleeves…"

Yui added, "And with glasses, too. Plus, she has a very huge chest and has a sexy stance."

Ritsu remarked, "And… on top of that… she resembles Koyomi Mizuhara of The Maidens for Hire Company!"

Asahi asked, "Was she the one that did this to you? If so, we broke her spell that she casted upon you."

Yui smiled, "Oh, what a relief. But I wish I knew what she was."

Mio added, "We somehow don't remember, since we became like this…"

Steven N asked, "Asahi, do you know of what is going on?"

Asahi said to Ritsu, "Does this woman have a name?"

Ritsu retorted, "Huh? She never mentioned her name. Why do you ask?"

Asahi growled, "It's nothing."

She calmly said, "You're safe now. For now, you girls can go home. Yui, your sister is worried about you."

Yui said, "Oh, right. I'll call Mugi-chan and Azu-nyan and head home."

Mio and Ritsu wave goodbye, as Farra asked, "Now, Asahi… Tell us. Why were you so antsy about this woman?"

Asahi suggested, "You guys promise not to laugh or get angry?"

Heather snuffed, "No."

Asahi said, "I'm sorry. I'll tell you what I know… about Akai Kādo."

Steven N asked, "Who? Akai Kādo?!"

Heather said, "You can tell us, when we head to HQ. We have full reports, connecting to this woman."

Farra said, "No. We're all going to West Plaza, first. Percival wants us there. Asahi will tell us, along the way."

Asahi gasped, as she thought, "West Plaza?"

Dawn smirked, "When the time comes, you'll know. But remember the words – West Plaza. Once Akai Kādo shows herself to the city, it'll be time. But use it, as a last resort, meaning use it, when it's time to end this, once and for all. You know I'm right. You may not know it now, but when your instinct tells you, you are ready."

"My instinct?"

Asahi thought, "It'll be almost time… But why? Why is Koyomi Mizuhara doing this? And for that matter, why now, while Percival's there?"

They all headed to the van, as Steven N, Farra, and Michelle were in his Rolls Royce. Steven C buckled up, as he asked Asahi, "You sure you know what you're saying? We know much about Akai Kādo, but we don't know her identity…"

She nodded, "As long as we keep it hidden from Kanaka, until we report this to her."

Steven C said, "Then, not a minute to lose! Gang, to Steffi's! I'm hungry!"

Mizuki said, "Right, Steven. We'll plan out what we know about this mysterious Akai Kādo and this Moji Mikisā, while we eat at her place. We'll visit Percival later."

Asahi thought, as the van drove off, "Steven… I'm so sorry…"

Steven C thought, "Glasses with a red mask… a blue summer school uniform… long brown hair… a D-cup… and such blue eyes… What does it mean? Who is she?"

Steven N thought, as he was driving, "This is confusing. They'll tell me what I know, but it'll be hard to decipher. Asahi Sakurai knows about Akai Kādo. But how and since when?"

With the After School Tea Time back on the road of living, The Gang heads to West Plaza for the UN Meeting with Robin Mask and Kanaka Nanase, before the final showdown with Akai Kādo!
But first, lunch break at Steffi's. Stay tuned for Chapter 50 of…

The Gang
