Chaptar Summary: Everyone has to start somewhere right?! In today's episode, the Hot Topic Krew reminisce the past to include the events that made them who they are in the first place. Through heartbreak, sadness, turmoil, betrayal and experimentation these broken souls were going to be lost forever. Luckily, a band manages to save them, one that means so much to them as they cherish it as it defines who they actually are.

-Plays the Hot Topic Krew theme song "The Animal I Have Become" by Three Days Grace-

Kyoya sat in his bedroom, blasting Trapt because he was upset about the whole Hot Topic change. He couldn't believe it, his store, the one he cherished and met his beloved Nile in completely changed. That Tithi was a menace, one who needed to be stopped once and for all.

The edgy angel sighed, as "Headstrong" blared. He recalled his memory, the day he became who he was. After all, Goths had painful backstories.

It was the summer of 1999, because angels live in the 90s. Kyoya or rather, Other Gingka at the time was always overshadowed by the other angel. Palutena loved him more even though he didn't care much for her. Others found him to be weird, a geeky loser. He secluded himself from the world as they laughed at his pain.

One day, Angel Gingka asked him if he wanted to play tag. Kyoya frowned, shaking his head. Angel Gingka shrugged as he became worried about Kyoyo. Realizing he needed his own identity, Kyoya checked out MTV as a song really clicked to him.

"CRAWLING IN MY SKIN~ THESE WOOOOUNDS WILL NOT HEAL!"

His eyes were glued to the TV, drawn to Linkin Park as he watched. He realized how much he related to the song, realizing that fear will be his downfall if kept confusing what is real. He needed change, to stop being called KYOYO as Palutena called him. He decided from now, he's Kyoya.

Meanwhile Nile was being yelled at by Aguma his father. Meanwhile his mother Bao was reading the newspaper, uninterested in his affairs.

"YOU NEED TO GET AWAY FROM THAT ANGEL. HES A BAD INFLUENCE AND HES DESTORYING YOUR LIFE!," yelled Aguma with concern. Nile sighed, cussing at his father.

"FUCK YOU DAD! YOU DONT TELL ME WHAT TO FUCKING DO YOU DICKWEED!" snapped Nile. He ran into his room, slamming the door before blasting Nine Inch Nails at full volume. Aguma sighed as he didn't know what to do with his son. Ever since that damn dark angel, Nile never been the same. He started listening to emo music, dressing in all black almost reminding him of someone.

He glanced at his wife as he read the newspaper, thinking to himself.

"Hey Bao, what do you think is going on with Nile?" asked Aguma. He was worried for his son as he took on both roles because Aguma loved wearing women's clothes.

Bao placed the newspaper down on the coffee table as it talked about the success of Gingka and his movie star boyfriend Tsubasa. Gingka was a famous director who made "Finding Memo", "Memzen", "The Great Meme Detective" and a hit classic, "Silence of the Memes."

"He's just going through a phase just like any other teenager," said Bao all deadpan as he is. Truth is, he couldn't stand anyone else besides Aguma and Nile. Everyone to him was annoying because like Kyoya, he was a former Goth.

"You sure about that?" questioned the mercenary who also was a business man.

"Yes, I'm sure. Now let's go to bed."

Nile sighed, missing his boyfriend. He took a sip of his sweet pacific cooler Capri-sun. He recalled the first time he truly discovered himself.

It was at the Smash Blade Manor after the events of losing his brother Dynamis to the capitalist pig Porky. Everyone took advantage of his meek personality, mocking him as the bullies were none other than Chris, Masamune and Samus. They were all extremely rich and popular, Samus making fun of anyone who listened to the Gorillaz while Masamune didn't understand why he hated fighting. Chris, on the other hand, was the biggest jerk in the face of the planet.

Always waving his cash without a care in the world and of course, acting like he was a motherfucking P.I.M.P. as he loved 50 Cent, Snoop Dog, Ludacris and all those other rap artists.

One day in the mansion, a dark angel came. He was called Kyoya as he hated everyone and told them to go fuck themselves. Chris and Masamune loathed him, wanting to destroy him. They tried all their pranks on him but to no avail, they failed. He was too smart.

Nile couldn't help but find him cute however, he gave him a hard time. He one day had a gun as he walked to the mall to kill Kyoya. He was in the dark store known as hot topic. Metal blasted as everyone inside wore piercings and whatnot. Soon, another song played as it clicked with Nile. It was Nine Inch Nails as he was drawn in and then, Kyoya finally confessed his love.

From there, they started dating.

Meanwhile, Damian thought about Jack and how much he missed him. He blasted KoRn because they were great and Jack loved that band. Of course he lost him when the damn G.U.N. ran by no other than the big bad King Dedede broke in.

"Please Damian! You must help us all" said Jack before releasing him to earth. He gave him all his KoRn CDs as a memento. The edgy dog freak stopped time, screaming.

"JAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAACK!"

KoRn saved him from losing it as he began attached to a store named Hot Topic. It reminded him so much of Jack as it was his favorite store. His grandfather was also hardcore and listened to KoRn as well. Everyone in space loved KoRn.

In the Temple of Souls, Miranda blasted "My Immortal" by Evanescence as she cried about not having Link's love. He had to love that stupid bitch Zelda because she was better than her. Lana however, was getting sick of hearing Evanescence because she was a prep. She banged on her sister's door in the edgy side of the Temple of Souls.

"Please turn that stuff down Miranda. It's awful and annoying," said the weeaboo girl. She was blasting nightcore as she loved nightcore. She also happened to be into raves as that's where she met Angel Gingka. He dubbed her, his pretty rave girl.

"No fuck off you goody-goody anime loving sack of shit," snapped Miranda. She sobbed stuffing herself with chocolate as she remembered the time when she was deemed ~one of them.~

It was in the time when she was more open and social. Back then, her skin wasn't tan and her hair was a light lavender color. She was more reserved and dressed appropriately rather than showing off her assets.

Her best friend was none other than Princess Zelda herself. They were inseparable and knew each other since they were five years old. Both of their fathers worked for NASA as they were finding the cure for the chicken chicken chicken chicken chicken papers that were printing out of nowhere. They shared everything to include their secrets.

In their middle school years, they both met Link as Miranda fell in love with him at first sight. She blushed every time he walked by, wanting him to notice her. One day, she slept over at Zelda's as they discussed things.

"Hey Zelda, can I tell you something?" asked Miranda. NSYNC blasted out and then they played their favorite artist, David Guetta. Miranda loved Guetta's music and thought of it to be the best in the world.

"Sure, what is it?" asked Zelda.

"You know Link? I want to confess to him as he's my crush. I really, really like him you know," said Miranda.

"Aww, you should. That would be cute! You guys would make such a cute couple!"

Two days later, Miranda took a deep breath as she went to confess her love to Link however, froze. Zelda was there, holding Link's hand as she confessed to him as he said yes. This broke Miranda's heart as she froze being betrayed by her best friend. The young girl sobbed and run, as she went to her house.

Her twin sister Lana was confused, wondering what was wrong with Miranda however she locked the door. Sobbing into a pillow, she ate some cookies as she grabbed more things from the cabinet, stuffing herself until she turned on the radio. "Going Under" by Evanescence started to play as she listened, relating to Amy Lee and thinking she was hot.

Then, she died her hair white and started painting her nails black. Later on, she got a tan as she changed and practiced dark magic. Zelda was her enemy and she needed to die.

"That bitch must die."

Doji lived outside, being a wolf because no one thought he deserved a house. He was fine and normal as he was a space pirate. He joined the Blade Brawl tournament, being good and victorious until those words were said.

"CLONE!" shouted Mario. Mario hated clones and killed his other counterpart Dr. Mario before he came back for the fourth game.

Doji was broken as he missed being a fighter. His spaceship was confiscated as his friends said fuck you to his face and left him. He was now in the forest where he was free to pee, shit and do whatever he wanted. He had a habit of howling at full moons since, wolves do that shit.

Then he heard the best band ever, Slipknot. They were so good and hardcore, he realized he must go to Hot Topic. It was the best store ever as everyone was Goth and it scared the preps and the other haters. It was the best place ever until IT TURNED PREP.

Last but not least, Ryuga mediated, thinking of who to kill first. He lived through nothing but pain as he was created by Giovanni and he wanted to use him for power and for telling Ash Ketchum that he was a loser. Then Ryuga blew up the place and escaped, killing most of Team Rocket.

He was the most edgiest and hardcore of the Goths, listening to Rammstein. He lived in Germany for a while before going to Smash Blade. He scared people as they kicked him out, Peach thinking he was a monster. Jigglypuff hated him and Luigi peed his pants every time he saw Ryuga. Then they kicked him out of Smash Blade as he wanted to kill them.

Soon, Takafumi Adachi came to his door and said "Please come back, everything sucks without you Ryuga. I hate everyone except you as I'm in love with you.'

"Adachi you beautiful man."

They were lovers for a while until someone killed Adachi. Then Ryuga decided he needed to take lives at smesh, not spare them. This time, he was going to kill all those who wronged him and the Goth Krew however, made a mental note to steal Miranda's wallet. After all, she was a fat Goth who needed no food as she seemed to eat everything. Then again, Ryuga was an asshole and found her Link obsession and motivations weird.

Meanwhile in the headquarters of the preps, Tithi sat in the round table along with King Dedede, lady Palutena, Rosalina, Zelda, Chris, Masamune and Samus.

"It seems that the mall Goths are upset at the new changes," said the magenta dinosaur blader. He was all Terminator like now since they killed him during Smash Blade 4. He wanted his revenge and wanted Kyoyo and Nile to suffer the most.

"Yes. How about we go after the Capri-sun company next," suggested deeded. Soon, Porky joined them as he was late to the meeting.

"Good idea Dedede. After all, capitalism is the way to defeat the company," he came back from the Electric Daisy Carnival as he partied with them.

"Hmm, perhaps a team to combat their forces," suggested Zelda. "After all, they need an obstacle and whatnot. Besides, they're going to fall anyways we have the best people to combat them."

She clapped, as a stage rose from the ground.

"Meet Angel Gingka the leader, then next we have Lucario, Sonic, Zeo, and Kenta. I haven't found the next member yet," said the princess.

"Perhaps I can be of help."

Turning around, the preps saw none other than Dashan Wang the famous tactician. He was known as the best of the best as he was super genius and good at IT/math and saving the world from terrible emo music.

"I can be the tactician for the group. After all, I still have a score to settle with a certain someone." Said Dashan.

Everyone was delighted as they were determined to stop the Goths. Chris pressed a button as money rained from the roof as rap music played and all the girls came out to dance.

The next day, Kyoya waited for his krew. While waiting, he saw a man yelling at a young girl.

"Hikaru, where are you going?!" said Ryo.

"Away from you father! Leave me alone!" wailed the princess. She ran away, leaving Ryo to go on his knees and cry.

"She could be useful to our team," said Ryuga. Kyoya glanced up, wondering what the L-Drago blader meant.

"Well, we can use a female on our team," he said.

"Don't we already have one," stated Kyoyo. The more the merrier. After all, Hikaru was broken.

"Miranda doesn't count. She's a fat bitch." said Ryuga. Man he really loved calling her that.

"Yeeeah in before she kills you again."

The next goal was to recruit Hikaru.

Chaptar 2 end.
