The evening had arrived on time for the beach resort. The only problem was that the entertainment had arrived late...Really, really late...Really late. Still on the sandy part of the beach, but away from the water, a greek stone stage was decorated with a large, red curtain. Haruka peeked from behind the heavy red material. Besides the back stage, the large platform was surrounded by well over one hundred people. The adopted Urashima retreated back behind the curtain.
"Where are they", Haruka asked. "They should have been here over an hour ago."
"I'm not sure. Maybe they're running late or something", Keitaro nervously suggested.
The soldiers sat in wait along with the rest of the girls of Hinata Sou. Naru took a peek behind the curtain to check on the crowd.
"They better hurry", Naru said. "The crowd is getting restless. They're either going to start demanding their money back, or they're going to start turning against each other.
At that moment, Han came running up to the back of the stage. He stumbled over a chair in the process.
"Han, where the hell have you been", Tokui shouted. "We so need security right now!"
"Captain, I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but we have a problem", Han began. "The hired actors took the money and ran."
"WHAAAT", Everyone shouted in unison.
"Yeah, they're cars are gone. I could even see skid marks in the street where they took off."
They all took a few seconds to absorb what was officially happening.
"What do we do now", Shinobu asked.
The group put their minds together for any idea that could save them. "Soldiers, huddle", Tokui suddenly shouted. Before anyone could know what that meant, the ERT soldiers surrounded each other as if they were discussing a football strategy. There were plenty of whispers going through the young men, but they could not be heard by anyone out of the huddle.
"So everyone know their job", Tokui said after about five minutes worth of talking.
"Yeah", The team all shouted together.
"Okay then", Tokui said as he placed his hand in the middle of their huddle.
Soon everyone else placed their hands on one another.
Tokui began a cheer, "SOLDIERS ON THREE, SOLDIERS ON THREE! ONE...TWO...THREE..."
"SOLDIERS", The seven ERT recruits roared at once.
Each one dashed off into different directions. Keitaro had the job of alerting Seta, and the Hina Girls of what was happening.
"Don't worry everyone, we have a plan. Shinobu, we're gonna need your help. Seta, Aunt Haruka, Kitsune, we also need your help."
The crowd continued to squabble with their patience and their neighbors. People were shouting, "How long are they gonna make us wait", or "I wanna go home, and even "You wanna trash the stage?" Waiting was getting the best of them now. Currently sitting in front of the stage were Naru, Kanako, Motoko, Mutsumi, Su, Sarah, Haruka, Tama, Kuro, and Skinny. Naru was getting especially edgy. She wasn't doubting Keitaro or his friends, but she still had no clue as to what they were up to.
"Haruka", The brunette asked. "What did Keiaro ask you to do earlier?"
"Nothing really", Haruka said nonchalantly. "He just asked to get some old costumes out of the storage area."
"You don't think they'll try to act out the play, will they", Motoko asked.
"I dunno", Haruka said. "I hope not, cause that's gonna be one messy kiss scene."
The blood rushed to all of the girls' faces, as dirty thoughts went through their minds. Before the perverse ideas could spread any further, a spotlight shinned at the middle of the stage, curtousy of Angel and Kitsune working the lights. In the dead center of the light stood Shinobu. She held a microphone while reading from a note card. Everyone could tell she was nervous, but the crowd was nice enough to allow her to speak without any interruptions.
"Good evening everyone. I know you were all waiting to see the play, "The Kingdom of Man and Beast". However, due to certain problems, the play will not be showing tonight."
Everyone began to express their disappointment in their own ways.
"However", Shinobu continued. To assure your money and time don't go to waste, we've put on a performance by the, "Freak Soldiers", singing group. They're kinda rusty, but a performance is a performance. Enjoy the show performed for tonight."
Having finished what needed to be said, Shinobu took a seat with the rest of her friends. The lights shifted as the curtain began to open. A certain music with a frisky tune began to play in the background. When the light turned, everyone had a wild surprise. Naru nearly had a heart attack as she fell backwards in her seat with a nosebleed. On stage stood Tokui, Keitaro, Han, Shirai, and Haitani. They each carried a microphone in one hand, showing that they were going to be singing. In the other hand, they held a device that was shaped like a cat's-paw. When a certain lever was pulled, the paw would wave to the crowd. Naru's fetish came into play as each character wore cat ears on their head, and a cat tail on their rear.

Keitaro and the rest of the ERT waited for the crowd to start throwing tomatoes or something. In really they only had to wait for a split second. However, they didn't start throwing fruit at them, but cheers and applauses. Keitaro held his heart in relief. Being pelted with tomatoes was something he didn't want to experience tonight. Shirai nudged his shoulder a bit.
"See, I told you girls like Neko Boys."
"Shut up, this is humiliating enough", Keitaro told him.
"Knock it off you two, start stripping", Tokui commanded.
"What", Keitaro asked in disbelief.
"You heard me, start stripping."
"Oh, right", Keitaro said.
Keitaro started tossing his cat ears and tail before taking off his jacket.
From the crowd, Naru and the rest of the girls watched the soldiers taking their clothes off.
"Aaww, what are they doing", Motoko yelled frantically.
"I don't remember this being part of the show", Mutsumi said with her ever innocent voice.
Naru and Shinobu had their faces covered with their hands. Still, that didn't stop them from peaking between their fingers.
Up above in the rafters, Kitsune and Angel worked the lights. She had a clear view of the soldiers removing the unneccessary things known as clothes. She didn't have a front view of them, but it was still a good view for her. Angel sat across from her. He waited for his cue to turn on or off specific lights. His concentration was suddenly blown as he felt a tingling sensation in his pants. The sniper removed a small communication device used by the ERT. He scanned through the small device as he waited for Keitaro and the Freak Soldiers.
On the stage, Keitaro had removed all needed clothes. They were down to army green shorts, black boots, and a black tank top. It did show some skin, but was only a tease to those with a perverted mind.
"Ok, ready boys", Haitani shouted as he tossed his jacket aside.
"Hit it captain", Han said.
Unlike the last song, there was no music coming from the speakers. This time, the tunes were being produced from the soldiers. It had a simple beat, but it was still a feat to produced a syncronized melody with only mouth sounds. Each person held a specific tune to play, as each character had a specific line to sing.
(Tokui) I heard you on the wireless back in 52, lying awake intent on tune it in on you, if i were young it didn't stop you comin through
(FS) Oh, Woah-Oh
(Tokui) Heeey, now, They took the credit for your second symphony, Rewritten by machine and new technology, Now I understand the problem you can see

A little more luck was on their side tonight. The crowd actually liked the song. The original versions of what they had sung so far were much better, but they also liked the way the Freak Soldiers were singing too. While the crowd cheered, they got a glimpse of Angel behind the curtain. He was waving to them while pointing to his small pocket device. They all knew this was a mission log device.
"Now if you'll all just hold for a few minutes, we'll be right back", Tokui spoke into the microphone.
The curtain lowered down on stage while the soldiers ran up to Angel.
The soldiers were in a huddle again, this time with Seta. They all stared at Angel's device. On the screen was a small map of different tunnels.
"Captain he have a major problem", Angel began. "We got a lock on project termite. They've burrowed in some abandoned tunnels, and the queen has decided to build the nest there."
"That is a problem", Tokui said.
"It gets worse", Angel continued. "They've decided to make the tunnels in...
"Hey, aren't those the turtle civilization ruins behind Hinata Sou", Seta asked.
"And that's the bad news", Angel confirmed. "It's only a matter of time before they reach the apartments. Once they reach there, the'll start eating at the building, and anyone else living in there."
Dread began to take over everyone's being.
"Well I'm not gonna let that happen", Keitaro said. "All we have to do is take out the queen so they stop multiplying. Then we just exterminate the rest."
"It sounds like a plan. C'mon, we got this", Haitani said.
"Now hold on", Han said. "We still have to finish working out the problems here."
Haitani paused in his tracks. They couldn't just abandon Haruka and the rest of the girls here, that just wasn't what men did.
"Soldeirs, huddle", Tokui commanded.
Once again, they all surrounded into a circle, with Seta now joining them again. Their conversation couldn't be heard by anyone outside of their little space. It didn't take long for them to formulate a plan, and separate.
Nentou said, "Okay, I'll fire up the jeep. Han take my spot at the music."
"On it", Han said.
"Good", Said Keitaro. "Seta, you ready for this?"
"No worries Keitaro. I love doing these kind of things", Naru's old teacher said.
"Cool, let's rock this stage", Tokui said with enthusiasm.
Back outside, the crowd was as fired up as ever to watch what was going to happen next. None of them suspected what they soldiers were about to sing, or that they had an emergency occurring at Hinata Sou. The curtains began to open again, with the heavy strumming of an electric guitar. On one side stood Keitaro, Shirai, and Haitani. They all had on black leather jackets, and dark glasses. There was also someone else that was all to familiar to Naru. He had on a black suit with his white over coat, and black shades that matched everyone else.
"Seta Sensei", Naru asked.
"Oh no", Haruka said. "He always gets too carried away with these things."
"Yaay, Papa", Sarah cheered from the crowd.
(Seta) YOLO
After hearing that one line, the crowd began to cheer. They apparently knew very well what this song was. And the best part was that they were happy the Freak Soldiers were going to sing it.
(Keitaro) YOLO, you only live once, It's the battle cry of our generation, This life is a precious gift, So don't get too crazy, It's not worth the risk
(Seta) You know that we are still young, So don't be dumb, Don't trust anyone, Cause you only live once
(Haitani) Ugh, you only live once that's the motto, So take a chill pill and ease off the throttle
(Shirai) Never go to loud clubs cause it's bad for your ears, Your friends will all be sorry when they can't hear
(Keitaro) And stay the hell away from drugs cause they not legal, Then bury all your money in the backyard like a beagle
(Haitani) Cause you should never trust a bank they've been known to fail, And never travel by car, a bus, boat or by rail
(Shirai) And don't travel by plane, and don't travel at all, Built a bomb shelter basement with titanium walls
(Keitaro) And wear titanium suits in case pianos fall on ya, And never go in saunas cause they're crawlin' with piranhas
(Haitani) And never take the stairs cause they're often unsafe, You only live once don't let it go to waste.
(Seta) You know that we are still young, So hold off on the fun, Cook your meat 'til it's done, Cause you only live once
(Shirai) Yeah, And here's another piece of advice, Stay away from kids cause their hair is filled with mad lice
(Keitaro) There's no such thing as too much Purell, This a cautionary tale word to George Orwell
(Haitani) So don't 1980 force any plugs into sockets, Always wear a chastity belt and triple lock it
(Shirai) Then hire a taster make him check your food for poison, And if you think your mailman is a spy then destroy him
(Keitaro) No blankets or pajamas they can choke you in your sleep, Two words about furniture Killing Machines
(Haitani) Board your windows up the sun is bad for your health, And always wear a straight jacket, So your safe from yourself
(Tokui) Take no chances [No Chances], Stop freelancin' [Right Now], Invest in your future, Don't dilute your finances [Uh Huh], 401K, make sure it's low risk, Then get some real estate [How Much?], 4.2% thirty year mortgage, That's important, that's a great deal And if you can't afford it, Don't forge it on your last bill, Renting is for suckers right now, A dependable savings, And you'll retire with money in your account, Beast
(FS) YOLO, say no no, Isolate yourself, And just roll solo, Be care-folo, You oughta look out also stands for YOLO.
(Seta) You know that we are still young, Burn the prints off your thumbs, Then pull out all your teeth, So you can't bite your tongue, Only on this earth for a short time, Time, So don't go outside, Cause you don't want to die, Die, Just take our advice and hide, And scream YOLO to the sky
(Keitaro) You oughta look out.
The crowd went in cheers again. Keitaro held the microphone to wrap things up as the others soldiers bolted for the jeep.
"Thank you everyone, we hope you all had a good time. We do not own these songs, nor did we help write them. Have a good night", Keitaro told them.
Once the Urashima disappeared behind the curtains, everyone became rowdy again. "Aww, come on", someone yelled. "One more song, a second person said, "Yeah, do another song!" Before long everyone in the crowd was cheering, "One more song, one more song, one more song!" The ERT looked back to the crowd behind the curtain. It still didn't settle right for them to still abandon the crowd. However, there were other more important matters to take care of.
"Is there anything else we can do for them", Keitaro said in worry.
"...There is still one more thing you can do", Tokui said.
Keitaro asked, "What?"
The Cheetah Demon had no time to react as his captain pushed him back onto stage.
"Sing your heart out Keitaro", Tokui yelled as he Shirai, and Haitani jogged to the jeep where Nentou waited for them. "We'll take care of the mission for you!"
"I hate you both", Keitaro yelled back to them.
His attention was turned back to the crowd that waited for his arrival. They were still yelling, "One more song, one more song, one more song!" Keitaro looked to the crowd. He could see Haruka, Seta, Sarah, Shinobu, Motoko, Kanako, Mutsumi, Tama, Kuro, Skinny and Naru sitting near the front. They were cheering for him too. Above him were Angel and Kitsune still working the lights. They both waved back to Keitaro, hoping he didn't chicken out of this one. Behind the curtain near the back stage steps, Han gave him the thumbs up. It was to signal that Han was ready, and for Keitaro to do his best. With no other choice but to sing, Keitaro searched in the deep crevices for the perfect song for the crowd.
So how many people were expecting that!? Sorry for the late update, a few things at school required my immediate attention. For the chapter, I think it came out pretty well. I hope I didn't piss anyone off with what they were singing. The first song that was featured was "BEAM MY BEAM", from an anime called "Omamori Himari". For those who recognize the characters and know the ending song, Keitaro sang Himari's part, Tokui sang Kusue's part, Han sang Rinko's part, Shirai sang Shizukus part, Haitani had Lizlet's part, and Tokui held Kusue's part. I put the english lyrics for "BEAM MY BEAM", at the bottom (Hopefully I got them right). The second song was "Video Killed The Radio Star", the "Penatonix" version. Tokui held Scott's part, Keitaro took Mitch's role, Haitani had Kirstie's part (LOL), while Shirai and Han had Avi and Kevin's parts. Finally, there was "YOLO", by the Lonely Island." I had fun thinking this one up, but it was a pain to write out. "Seta had Adam's part, Keitaro sang Andy's lines, Shirai had Jorma parts, Haitani sang Akiva's lyrics, and Tokui had Kendrick's parts. All credit goes to their rightful owners. I made no profit from this, nor did I plagiarise any part of this. Now, with that chapter done, I need all of your help with the next chapter. As you can see, Keitaro was ditched alone on stage. The question is, what will he sing. I've come up with different categories on the type of song's he can sing, along with a small list of songs relating to that. Pick the category of song you want, or if you want to be specific, pick a specific category and a specific song. Your more than welcome to bring up a new category or a new song to mind, I'll listen and consider it. Whichever category or song is most voted on, I'll make Keitaro sing that one. Till then, I wait for your votes, and wait for your comments.

BEAM MY BEAM English Lyrics from Omamori Himari
BEAM my BEAM! My light and
BEAM my BEAM! Your light
Can smear around and change history.
Our top class partnership ties our force together.
I'm sure we can overcome the fence of limits.
Good morning, what kind of dream did you have, I wonder.
The two of our happinesses and sadnesses synchronize together.
If you still feel down in the morning,
Then the reason for my existence is to heal you.
BEAM my BEAM! Your power and
BEAM my BEAM! My power
Overlap each other in the infinite puzzle.
Day by day, if you embrace me love goes on at full throttle.
Your eyes are a little dizzy, aren't they? Take a bit of caution.
