Spells and Louds
Chapter 264: April Tunes.
(Spellman Estate.)
Lincoln enters his room and he sees his sister Luna finished with some new songs on her note book. Lincoln then grabs his notebook and shows her what he made.
Luna sees the notebook and sees the lyrics. "So, how is it?" asked Lincoln.
Luna looks to Lincoln and smiles. "Bro, we're gonna need to people to sing some of this."
Lincoln smiles and hugs her. "Then let's get to it." Luna hugs him in return.
They break the hug and contact Sam and some specific people to be part of their new songs.
Linka and Sunset overhear this. "Looks like we got ourselves some more songs coming in sis" said Sunset.
"Sure looks like it, well I better get the music studio ready for them. I know they'll need Lincoln and me to man the recording sesh" said Linka.
"I'll be down there soon Linka, I just have to deal with something in my room first" replied Sunset.
Linka nods and then heads downstairs and sees her dad in the kitchen putting a mug away. "Hey dad."
"Hey Linka, what are you doing today?" asked Neil.
Linka chuckles. "Head to the music studio, Luna and Lincoln got some new songs they wanna try out."
Neil smiles. "Oh heck yeah, I could go for some musical testing. Let's do this thing!" They both head for the music studio.
(Later)
Gyro comes out of the portal and lands at the front of the house. "Alright, now to figure out why the hell did they call me."
Then he spots the car of Leon and Sergei, and also Dana's car. "What in the hell?"
They all come out and see Gyro. "Guardian? What are you doing here?" asked Sergei.
"Summoned here by the call of Lincoln, you guys?" said Gyro.
"Called by the same person as well. I think it's a music thing" said Dana.
"Huh, I guess they need me as well. I wonder what we'll be singing" said Gyro.
"Obviously not gonna be a romance thing" replied Leon. Dana then kisses his cheek. "But it might!"
Leon and Dana chuckle a bit.
They all enter the house and pass by the kitchen, where they see Gwen also headed for the music studio. "You guys here for the call from Lincoln?"
"We are, and I could only guess you're going down there as well" replied Leon.
"Yeah, Sunset, Linka and Neil are already down there waiting along with Sam, Lincoln and Luna" said Gwen.
"Then let's get to it" said Dana. They all head down into the basement and then they get to the door that goes deeper underneath and straight into the music studio.
"So, Sergei how are Loona and the pups?" asked Gwen.
"Doing quite well. Though they're not ready to crawl or explore much. They do enjoy seeing Loona and myself, they really like being close to their parents" replied Sergei.
"It's only a matter of time before they begin to crawl around, and then they start to walk and then run" replied Leon.
"Dang straight my friend" said Gyro.
"I still think they're so adorbs! The rest of my friends think so as well" said Dana.
They soon make it to the music studio, there they see Lincoln and Linka checking on the recording table and they see Luna, Sam and Sunset in the room tuning their instruments.
"Hey dudes! You made it!" said Luna.
"Now we can get this thing started!" said Sam.
Lincoln gets out of his chair and hands them the lyric sheets. "Okay, so first will be Dana who will be singing this song."
Dana looks to the lyrics and smiles. "Sounds kinda sweet."
Lincoln then hands some lyric sheets to Neil, Leon, Sergei and Gwen. "Then you guys are next."
"Dude, this song sounds kinda underwater-ish" replied Leon.
"Looks good" said Sergei.
Lincoln then hands another lyric sheet to Neil and one for Gyro. "And finally it'll be a duet with Dad and Gyro."
"Looks good kid" said Neil as he looks to the second lyric sheet.
"I find this quite entertaining" replied Gyro. "And I think my voice can add up for this."
"Alright dudes! Dana, you ready?" asked Luna.
Dana gets into the room and puts on the headset. "Ready as I'll ever be!"
"Then let's do this thing!" said Sam.
Luna, Sam and Sunset begin the music, while Dana starts her beat.
Dana: 'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
Our loves enough, transcending us through space and time.
It's holdin' up, it keeps you and me in a twine.
What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life. (Back.)
And I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here.
It's a feeling that won't disappear.
And you're bringing me back to life. (Back.)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find.
It's a feeling you give me inside.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This feelings coming back to life.
Our memories, they're more than just our history.
They life me up, they flow like electricity.
What's a pipe dream if you ain't trying to do it?
What's a heartbreak if you ain't crying all through it?
What's a sunset if you ain't riding into it?
Let's drive into it.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life. (Back.)
And I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here.
It's a feeling that won't disappear.
And you're bringing me back to life. (Back.)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find.
It's a feeling you give me inside.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
I can see you in the night.
Coming through like flashing lights.
When the world is flashing by.
Oh, oh, oh.
I can see you in the night.
Coming through like flashing lights.
When the world is flashing by.
Oh, oh, oh.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life. (Back.)
And I know that you're gone, but I swear that you're here.
It's a feeling that won't disappear.
And you're bringing me back to life. (Back.)
I was looking for something that I couldn't find.
It's a feeling you give me inside
'Cause I'm bringing you back.
'Cause I'm bringing you back.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
And you're bringing me back.
And you're bringing me back.
And you're bringing me back to life.
And you're bringing me back to life.
This feelings coming back to life.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
'Cause I'm bringing you back to life.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
Oh, oh, oh, oh.
This feelings coming back to life.
They all clap as Dana takes a bow.
"Now that was some singing voice there Dana!" said Gwen.
Dana high fives with Sunset, Luna and Sam.
"Now that is what I call a voice! Good one Dana" said Sunset.
"Dude, you should totally join the music club!" said Luna.
"Yeah, you'd be awesome there!" said Sam.
Dana chuckles. "As fun as that sounds, no thanks girls. I got my won club to be part of."
"That's okay dude, we understand" replied Luna.
"Still, you did awesome!" said Sam.
Dana then leaves the room. "That's my ice princess!" said Leon.
She chuckles and kisses Leon. "You know how it is Leon."
"The song is all recorded, no problems and we will upload it into a CD and a flash drive later" said Lincoln.
"Okay, so I guess we're next" said Sergei.
"Then let's get to it!" said Neil.
Neil, Gwen, Leon and Sergei head into the room and they put on their headsets.
"Okay, so Gwen has to start it up" said Sam.
"Hit it mom!" said Sunset and Luna.
Gwen: Beyond the ocean.
A lighthouse is waiting for me.
The great chain in motion.
Beneath the waves of the sea.
Into the City.
All good things flow.
(Rise, Rapture Rise.)
The sweat on your brow.
(We turn our hopes up to the sky.)
Is what you reap and sow.
(Rise, Rapture Rise.)
Forge your own fortune.
(We'll go down with our sinking paradise.)
From salt and from sand.
No gods or kinds!
Only man!
Neil, Leon and Sergei: Folks told me, son you won the gene pool.
So I guess I had a head start on these fools.
Doesn't take a winter blast for jack to keep cool.
But isolation in the deep blue can be cruel.
I descended depths, fathom by fathom.
As if the ocean opened up and I've been cast in a chasm.
Upon a sweeping seascape where genetic accidents happen.
But don't blame EVE, the cause of the fall had to be ADAM.
Neil: If you believe the sweat of the brow oughtta be yours.
Listen to Andrew Ryan, the philosophical entrepreneur.
He might've put me on blast, but I'll get past his thugs.
I asked who Fontaine was, and Atlas shrugged.
Welcome to Rapture where we sell, manufacture.
Evolution: natural selection's happening faster.
Were you shocked when I said I was nothing less than electric?
This city's dead, but I bet that I can resurrect it.
Like a Lazarus vector, giving breathe to breathless.
I will never let a single engine rest on Hephaestus.
Neil, Leon and Sergei: Yeah, I'm getting more dependent on medkits.
My doctor's got sick demented obsessions.
Neil: For promising pretty, you could lesson perfection.
Remember, ugliness is an aggressive infection.
Forget the Hippocratic Oath that has been neglected.
No wonder this operation has become so gut-wrenching!
I better collect every weapon and any effective invention.
To make 'em vanish like Houdini, pumpin lead in these leadheads.
I call it artwork, want it censored? Forget it!
I got a killer's disposition, guess it's genetic.
Neil, Leon and Sergei: If death is a choice, then I reject it!
Gwen, Leon and Sergei: Rise! Rapture Rise!
We turn our hopes up to the sky.
Rise, Rapture Rise!
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.
RISE!
Neil: Roll up my sleeve, so blood will not get on em.
These shackles remind me that I started from the bottom.
I was just a little fish who hadn't had his cherry popped.
But I'm a grown man, damnit. I ain't scared of shots.
Leon and Sergei: Shots, shots, shots, shots!
Neil: Now my veins are on fire!
Rearranging DNA? Sounds like playing with fire.
Sciences are practiced with a lack of moral guidance.
Splicers seek to satisfy their sick sadistic vices.
Victims become villains, angry vandals turn to violence.
Sickly children sticking by their less than gentle giants.
Minds manipulated by the parasite inside 'em.
But if you're a parasite in Ryan's eyes, you're put to silence.
Leon: The great and strong will not yield to the weak and feeble.
You'll need cerebral upgrades to see me as your equal.
Neil: Harvest ADAM, feed on EVE, it doesn't make me evil.
Because my survival rides on giving power to the people.
Sergei: Plenty of desperate Denizens deal with deprivation.
But let's be fair, laissez-faire. Forget the regulations.
Neil: This economy – is perfectly working without you.
So let me fill my cravings at the circus of values.
Drawn here like a moth to a flame.
Fallin' from grace, swallowed by a watery grave.
Now I frolic on the stage, like I was a part of a play.
As if I was nothing but a puppet, just a pawn in the game.
Lookin' for something to set me apart from a slave!
Gwen, Leon and Sergei: Rise! Rapture Rise!
We turn our hopes up to the sky.
Rise, Rapture Rise!
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.
RISE!
Gwen: Rapture is bleeding, through cracks that are leaking.
Dwindling memories tell secrets their keeping.
Demons disguised by benign masquerade.
Angels climb out of their grave.
Neil: Mind over matter, is the practice I'm preaching.
How else could I achieve feats of telekinesis?
If you're a lousy hack, I'll get past your defense.
And if you try to whack me, you'll get the hornets' nest.
Get out of my gatherer's garden, because the harvest is over.
You know, when it comes to tonics, I don't wanna be sober.
Now I got a slimmer waist and my chin is chiseled more.
Can't you see? Vanity sent the city into a civil war!
In a utopia, who's gonna wanna scrub the toilets?
The people in Apollo square got no other choices.
I know how this is gonna end, but I don't wanna spoil it!
Before you try to seize my city.
Leon and Sergei: I'm gonna destroy it!
Niel: Just relax, big daddy. I command ya.
Strike a pose, smile for the camera.
I think objectively, just like Ayn Rand does.
Attention: will the real Fontaine stand up?
A man chooses, unlike a slave.
Who never strays from the path that his master paves.
Follows every order and does everything they say.
Now would you kindly … Obey?
Leon and Sergei: Obey, obey, obey, obey.
Obey, obey, obey. OBEY!
Gwen, Leon and Sergei: Rise! Rapture Rise!
We turn our hopes up to the sky.
Rise, Rapture rise.
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.
Neil: My city, is thriving.
(Gwen: Rise, Rapture Rise!)
You're allies, choose them wisely.
(Gwen: We turn our hopes up to the sky)
All Rapture, is rising!
(Gwen: Rise, Rapture Rise.)
Stand with us. Would you kindly?
(Gwen: We'll go down with our sinking paradise.)
All: RISE!
Everyone who was listening outside was shocked at how that sounded. Lincoln and Linka click stop and upload the song into the computer.
"Okay, that was … Amazing" said Lincoln.
"I have no clue what was all that about" said Linka.
"Wow! That song got me a rush!" said Leon.
"What was this song about again?" asked Neil.
"That would be me pops, I had this crazy idea of this sing last night in my dream. Maybe I got some inspiration from Lisa when she would always be emotionless and always trying to experiment on us" said Luna.
"Well, that was impressive for a treacherous science song" said Sergei.
"We should let FutureTech and Lisa hear this song" said Leon.
"I agree with him on that one, it also made me feel kinda more than just Goth creepy as Lucy" said Gwen.
"And the way you guys sang it, like an orchestra came into Halloween night" said Gyro.
"Well, now that that's done. Next would be Niel and Gyro, who are both the last song" said Sunset.
Leon, Sergei and Gwen leave the room and Gyro enters.
"You ready Spellman?" asked Gyro as he puts on the headset.
"By the way, this song Gyro and I are performing. Who made it?" asked Neil.
"That would be me dad, got it after watching a dinosaur documentary" replied Lincoln.
"Well then, let's sing it" said Gyro.
Sunset, Luna and Sam start the beat.
Neil: Survival's all I've ever known.
Selection status: Natural.
What comes next? Let's evolve.
I'm living off the fat of the lands with animals.
Blood and flesh, sweat and bone.
Stranded on the sand, I stand alone.
As I gather wood stacks, thatch and stone.
To make spears and axes better get your own!
Unless a battles what you're askin for!
Aggro me, I'll trash your home.
Can you practice actin passive? No!
I have a bow, do you wanna catch arrows?
Or get your back stabbed by a Raptor toe.
Grab some clothes, or you'll catch a cold.
Slashin' and Hackin', I stay active though.
Bashin; carnivores like its whack-a-mole.
Trappin' 'em in a bola while I'm landin' blows.
Patchy attack! That'll crack your dome.
After I choke ya, as if a Boa had your throat.
You just croaked, like you're a massive Toad.
Put the tribe on my back like a saddle bro.
Neil and Gyro: Pack your travel bags and roam.
Grab a hatchet, pull up your bootstraps and go.
Neil: the map is vast, you're path's unknown.
Call me Tyrannosaur – I have the throne!
Neil and Gyro: I rise at the crack of dawn.
Eat a couple Stimberries, hold back a yawn.
Neil: I'm a Pterodactyl defecating.
You're standing where I'm crappin' on.
I'm a rappin' Neanderthal.
Ain't scared of sharp claws or massive jaws.
I'm the reason why you stay inside after dark.
Because I practically run, Jurassic Park!
Neil and Gyro: My world is a paradise of open doors.
Climb up from the valley to the mountain.
Set sail from the beaches to the Northern Shores.
Adapt to the habitat I'm found in.
This territory is mine.
I'll light a fire tonight.
I feel it rise in my temperature.
No beast will take me alive.
I set my sight on the skies.
The Apex Predator!
Gyro: Guardian!
Spellman!
We're lighting a fire tonight. Yeah!
I wake up butt naked in the sand.
Disorientated but making up a plan.
My brain's a blank map for the lay of the land.
Get back to the Stone Age, I take it in my hand.
I'm into hard rock and heavy metal.
The campfire blackens every pot and every kettle.
Better get setting off from where we settle.
Another day, another way we got another level!
Humans are tribal, will die.
For their mates, in a fight.
With their neighbors, the sight.
Of a stranger's a target to aim for.
Your life is in danger, don't try to escape.
This is the time and the place for a Great War.
So organize and liaise.
Or a bite to the face.
Is the kind of a fate you can wait for.
So buckle up tight and get braced to break jaws!
The Great Outdoors, the Call of the Wild!
I was born and I'll die on a poor little isle.
A child, caught inside of the eye of the storm.
As if all of my life was a trial!
I'm Bear Grylls.
I share skills.
On how to trek hills.
Prepare meals.
And get kills.
When it gets real. (Real!)
I'm a new Steve Irwin.
Though I'm no Zookeep, I do keep serving.
A Serving to Darwin's Journey.
Though swirling seas to the shores to the need to learning.
Adapt.
Evolve.
Or Raptor'sll Roll up.
And sap your soul.
Through the cracks in your skull.
While your trapped in a hole.
Fight back with your bola!
Reach camp, valiant, back from the cold. (Ah.)
One life is a light in the dark
Shine bright and survive in the Ark.
Neil and Gyro: My world is a paradise of open doors.
Climb up from the valley to the mountain.
Set sail from the beaches to the Northern Shores.
Adapt to the habitat I'm found in.
This territory is mine.
I'll light a fire tonight.
I feel it rise in my temperature.
No beast will take me alive.
I set my sight on the skies.
The Apex Predator!
Neil and Gyro remove their headsets and see everyone else clapping. They both take a bow and so do Sunset, Luna and Sam for the instrumentals.
They all leave the music room and head upstairs.
"Now that was one wicked song!" said Luna.
"Gotta admit, ancient biology has never sounded this interesting" said Sam.
"Same here, I wonder if Fluttershy will like this" said Sunset.
"Sure as heck we have to let Lana hear this song" said Gwen.
"And don't forget Sid, Adelaide and their mom Becca" said Dana. "They will love how amazing the song is!"
"We can deal with that later, the songs will need some processing in case there are some minor problems" said Lincoln.
"And then we can set it to upload into a CD and then let everyone else hear them" said Linka.
"You guys are killing it with those songs!" said Neil.
Luna chuckles. "True, I mean Sam, Lincoln and I come up with some lyrics. But the vocals are what matters, and that's on you dudes."
"Don't let us have all the credit. It would be nothing without the ones who came up with the whole shindig" said Gyro.
"What's say we get something to eat?" said Leon.
"Yeah!" they all cheer. They all head to the kitchen and Neil brings out some of the left over chocolate cake.
Just then Leni comes in and sees the cake, she takes a plate and a slice. "Hey guys, so what did I miss while I was at work?"
"Well we sang some songs that Luna and Lincoln came up with" said Sergei.
"Cool, well I got something to show you guys" said Leni.
"Really? What is it sis?" asked Linka.
"Me" they all see High Leader Sienna Khan coming into the kitchen. Some of them drop their forks onto the cake.
"Sienna?!" they all say in shock.
"What in the ten hells are you doing here?" asked Gyro.
Sienna also grabs a slice of the cake. "My people …. Well some of them, are ready to live amongst yours."
To be continued …..
A/N: I love making song Chapters, they give me a rhythm to go by. Also next chapter will be the incoming of the Faunus living in Royal Woods, or Great Lake City. A little too early don't ya think? Well not for me, they deserve a home with some equality. Leave a review and tell me what you all think.
