Spells and Louds
Chapter 329: The musical Creed
(Spellman Estate.)
Neil heads out of his office and heads downstairs and he hears someone at the door. Neil heads to the door and he opens it and sees who it is. "Hey Melody and Vinyl Scratch, I guess you guys are here for the song making as well. Come on in."
"Thanks Headmaster" replied Melody. Vinyl Scratch just nods. (She doesn't speak much, or at all,)
"Now, now. This isn't Ever After High Melody, so my name is Mr. Spellman or Neil, I'm only Headmaster at school" chuckled Neil, they then pass by the kitchen and they spot Courage and Roserade making cookies, and trying to keep Arcanine away from the cookie dough.
"Come with me" said Neil as they followed him through the basement and then to another set of stairs going underground. "The music recording studio is directly underneath the house. I kept it hidden there for small reasons of unknown purposes but now we found an even better purpose for it."
They then made it to the musical recording room and they see Lincoln and Linka operating the recording table with Jordan sitting next to Lincoln and watching them, inside of the glass music room is Luna, Sam, Sully, Mazzy and Sunset with their instruments and with them is Leon and Sergei going through the lyrics as the backup vocals. Both musical teens were amazed by this, they even see some pictures of the guys and gals who performed the songs and a list of the songs they have performed.
"Whoa! Now this is wicked cool!" said Melody Piper. Vinyl Scratch nods and fist bumps with Melody.
Luna and the others notice them. "Hey, you guys made it and so did dad! Awesome, you guys are about to see some wicked cool songs get played off with some Assassin style!"
"Take a seat, relax and let the good beats rock your vibes" replied Sam.
"Glad you could make it DJ Pon-3, how is Octavia?" asked Sunset. Vinyl just replies with a thumbs up. Sunset is confused by this. "I'll take that as an okay I guess." (Remember guys, Vinyl Scratch or DJ Pon-3 does not speak at all, no clue why though.)
Sully doesn't say anything and just looks to Melody Piper who was asking Lincoln and Linka some stuff. Mazzy sees this and makes him face away. "Dude, I swear I will make you walk home on broken legs. Do not make me angry!" Sully stays quiet. (Sully and Mazzy are dating.)
"Dudes, calm down and let's not tussle over this" replied Luna. Then she looks to Sully. "But still Sully, keep your eyes off the Fairytale student and onto the girl you are currently with." Sully nods.
"Okay Neil, get your ass in here and let's rock this joint" said Leon as he puts on his head set.
"These lyrics look awesome, you guys really know how to mark the Assassin's Creed into it" said Sergei who is going through the lyric sheets again.
"Let's lock and load then!" Neil gets into the glass room, puts on his headset and goes through the lyric sheets. "I'm ready as these two bastards are ready!" He high fives and fist bumps with Leon and Sergei.
Melody looks at the songs and they are many. "So, what are you guys going to do with all of these songs anyway?" Even Vinyl Scratch looks into them and is impressed, even though there seems to be some bad words in most of them.
"We're gonna let the whole world listen to the songs and see how they like them, then we're gonna send it to one of our allies from across the realms, even though I only met him one during an interdimensional fight" replied Lincoln.
"Sure as heck he is going to like it" said Jordan. "We came up with the lyrics yesterday."
Linka then talks to the microphone. "You guys ready for this?" They all nod. "First up, Assassin's Creed Origins. Let's do this thing!" She hits the record button.
Melody Piper and Vinyl Scratch were excited for this.
(Egyptian style instrumentals.)
Neil: I'm an Assassin, who can wrap! You in linen, I'm digging your grave.
After stabbing you in the back, like a Caesar who didn't behave.
On a Cataclysmic Path.
I brought the wrath of Biblical Plagues.
Like a god, ay, call me Yahweh.
Bringing justice with hidden blades.
This is the testament of my ways.
If it's written down, I'll rip out the page.
Left in the past, history stays.
Even your mummy will wither decay.
Filling canopic jars won't be hard.
My personal ritual fave.
I'm a master of my craft.
Ask the Egyptian women I slay.
Obituaries on a papyrus script.
What kind of font? It's Hieroglyph.
Call Anubis man, this party's dyin'.
Get a fire lit.
I'm a frequent flier.
So I've got a lot of mileage.
Kids who rule with Iron fists.
Osiris might forgive!
But that shit, I won't let fly!
I'm all that's left of the Medjay!
Every river will run with the blood of your sins.
I'm drinking form it like its red wine.
Time to bow to Bayek.
Drop the crown you mouthy child.
Think you're more than just a puppet?
You must be drowning in Da-Nile!
Leon and Sergei: I'm planting the seed.
Of the Family tree.
By my hand, minds are freed.
Not a man, I'm a creed!
I am the voice that beckons.
Pharaohs onto their doom.
Knowledge and choice my weapons.
Sending you to your tomb.
Neil: Ancient order, has been taken over.
But thankfully my DNA is nature's tape recorder.
So from this point forward I'll be sure to collect my genetic memoirs.
A thousand years from now that's how we're gonna remember the Templars!
Here I sit in solitude atop the Giza Pyramids.
I'd offer you a seat, but nobody else would appear to fit.
Lonely at the top, I knew that when I started climbing.
I hunt without the pack, you are the sheep I am the lion.
Stalk my prey in silence.
Show you a god can bleed.
Torture and mummify them, on their headstones write the creed.
How long have we been fighting for? Forty days and nights or more?
Been taking that time to design Sarcophagi – Now I'm sizing yours.
Setting sail and I'll take.
All who trail in my wake.
Faces veiled, hidden blades.
Desecrate this sacred place.
Your divines overrun.
Now the fight has begun.
Feeble minds, silver tongue.
Eagle eyes, I've become!
Leon and Sergei: I'm planting the seed.
Of the Family tree.
By my hand, minds are freed.
Not a man, I'm a creed!
I'm planting the seed.
Of the Family tree.
By my hand, minds are freed.
Not a man, I'm a creed!
(Ending instrumental, Egyptian style.)
Neil, Leon and Sergei look to each other and fist bump. "That was awesome guys! That was awesome!" said Neil.
"Well, what's next?" asked Leon. "This is just the start, so let's keep the rhythm going!"
"Next up, Assassin's Creed Odyssey!" replied Lincoln. "Let's do this!" They start the next record and play their tunes.
(Flute solo.)
Neil: Dear father, I'm sorry you're not proud, Sparta's hard enough for a drop out.
You should've watched me fall down, hit the ground, runnin' it's a marathon now.
From marble, my hearts been carved out, chiseled the doubt off, vision is sharp now.
Don't bother the bull if you're not into horns, you're bringing my inner Minotaur out! (Ah-Hu!)
Knocked down and got frowned upon! Lost count of how far I've come!
I tower on Mount Olympus, now gods will bow – Thunderclouds begone!
Fuck the destiny! It never meant shit! What's family? I've been neglected!
Tossed off a cliff, left for dead. This rejected kid just got resurrected! (I'm back!)
If I wrote a poem it would epic, take notes homer – I'm a legend.
Cuz' I descended from Leonidas and my touch is twice as deadly as Midas!
One thing you're never gonna see an army of 300 stopping me!
Forget Ephors and Oracle Prophecies, you're not in charge of me – Democracy!
So far I don't got a creed, but stopping corruption is my philosophy.
Geometry – I've got degrees. Smart - Since when can a Spartan read?
Yo Herodotos, come along with me, you don't wanna miss another odyssey.
I'm an apologist for mythology, an Artemis reincarnate with archery.
Poseidon retried, o got his seas! Hercules is a cheap knock off of me!
Cuz I'm capable of double the colossus feat.
But I don't want a gold medal, let me dawn a wreath.
You're not gonna get a branch from an olive tree.
If you wanna start a public argument.
I'll give you some of Socrates' Hemlock to sip or Sparta kick you off this Acropolis! (Yeah!)
I'm keep an eye locked on my target, I've got cycloptic focus!
So I won't be spotted with the local drunken, lotus-eating homeless.
I'll be the strongest of any legend to ever become historic.
I am a warrior - doesn't mean I'm gonna be heroic! (Ah-Hu!)
Neil, Leon and Sergei: Broken down, shamed and betrayed! (Ah-Hu!)
Came back a blade with no name! (Ah-Hu!)
I feel like changing the game, you're banal battle cries are in vain! (Ah-Hu!)
Fight not for glory and fame! (Ah-Hu!)
Vengeance cannot be contained. (Ah-Hu!)
You'll learn too late, I became much more than just a blade with no name! (Ah-Hu!)
Neil: I'm like a colossus with no possible obstacle on earth to stop it!
Have you heard how my grandpa turned Xerxes armies into Persian carpets?
This is his weapon that I wield, earned it – then learned to flaunt it!
I hope you all brought a shield - so I could return you on it!
Threaten me and I'll respond with, an affective phrase in laconic. (Ah shit!)
Then just like an ancient tongue, when I'm done with you, you'll be long forgotten. (Bye-bye!)
Now you're in deep and you cannot swim, blood in the water – Shark fin!
Sight like Medusa – Locked in, as for my last victim - I rocked him!
Malaka, hand over the artifacts, they're family heirlooms I want em back!
Apocalypse – I should be stopping that.
Feel like Atlas, I got the world on my back!
Forget the grace of god's, I already got a great cause!
Restoring order doesn't mean I don't cause some chaos!
With every combatant I've battled as soon as both our blades cross.
They get the labyrinth – look on em like they know that they lost.
Predictable story, typical moral, just like when Icarus learned he was mortal.
When I ask "You ready for war?" If you didn't know, it's rhetorical!
Neil, Leon and Sergei: Who sees through the eyes of an eagle?
Who speaks for the silent and feeble?
Who leaps from the height of a steeple?
You sleep while she fights for the people. (Ah-Hu!)
Like the song of a sire, she's lethal! (Ah-Hu!)
Precise to the eye of a needle! (Ah-Hu!)
Titanic, unrivaled, unequaled! (Ah-Hu!)
Her creed is to die in a free world!
Broken down, shamed and betrayed! (Ah-Hu!)
Came back a blade with no name! (Ah-Hu!)
I feel like changing the game, you're banal battle cries are in vain! (Ah-Hu!)
Fight not for glory and fame! (Ah-Hu!)
Vengeance cannot be contained. (Ah-Hu!)
You'll learn too late, I became much more than just a blade with no name! (Ah-Hu!)
They all clap at how intense the song was. "Now that got my blood fucking pumped up and intense!" yelled Sergei.
"Then I suggest we keep it going" said Neil. He then looks to Luna and the band. "You guys wanna keep going?"
"Sure!" they all reply. "This song has gotten all of us just stoked and pumped with adrenaline!" said Sam.
"Alright then, so what the hell is next for this Assassin's Creed Rap song empire?" asked Leon.
Lincoln looks through the lyric sheets. "Next, let's do good old London England. Assassin's Creed Syndicate." Lincoln then hits the record button and they start.
(Bell beats and bass sounds.)
Neil: Born into revolution – an industrial one.
But I would not call me lucky, coming out from the slums.
Nobody's wondering why I hardly trust anyone.
Cuz if you're free from corruption, then you must be a nun.
You got an army of thugs? Then let me bloody them up.
Don't lay a hand on my coat unless you wanna be cut.
I'll pummel you with brass knuckles, leave you ugly as fuck!
Then wipe your blood off my gauntlet, and act like nothing is up.
Because I'm keeping up appearances within my syndicate.
If you're pollutin' my community, I'm catchin' wind of it.
I'm making history with every single day I'm living it.
Leave a bigger footprint than freaking Charles Dickens did.
Cuz my name is as famous as David Copperfield is.
Child labors popular, my god that's awful for kids.
I'm trying to stop these hard times from getting harder than this.
But I still got great expectations – Now that's an Oliver Twist. (Ha!)
Keep the children out of factories.
You can haul your own coal, sow your own tapestries.
If you're living lavishly, that'll end in tragedy.
I'll knock you off you're balcony and leave the rest to gravity.
Here's my manifesto, it's practically a rhapsody.
Who' da knew that underneath this jacket I'd be packing heat!
I'm a fashion master piece, sent by the Assassin's Creed.
If you're an aristocrat, now's the time to flatter me.
Leon and Sergei: That dude is fly, with that suite and tie. You don't mess around! (Don't mess around.)
Luna: She's by his side, nowhere to hide when they come to town!
Leon and Sergei: There's Assassin in their veins, every Templar will be slain!
A time to live, a time to fight!
Now it's you're time to die!
Neil: Leave it to me and Evie to keep these streets clean. Ha, ha. That ain't gonna be easy.
The names Jacob Frye, if you can't wait to die.
Inside my cane I have a hidden blade to which I take your life.
I'm taking over Devil's Acre with this gang of mine.
Drinkin' bitter, we prefer it to the taste of wine.
When we got a problem, we assassinate the guy.
Pick your pocket, take you hostage, any way to make it by.
Take your eyes off my sister man, she ain't you're wife.
But she may slice you wide open with a table knife.
Call us crooks, soon enough we'll make you change your mind.
Join the Rooks if you love it when the stakes are high.
I've climbed higher steeples, I've scaled bigger bens.
You don't believe me, take a swim in the river Thames.
Leon and Sergei: That dude is fly with that suite and tie, you don't mess around. (Don't mess around!)
Luna: She's by his side, nowhere to hide when they come to town!
Leon and Sergei: Send corruption to its grave, hidden blades decide your fate!
You'll pay the price for your life of crime!
When it's your time to die!
Neil: Welcome to London, city of the paupers.
Don't think you're safe cuz you were brought up prim and proper.
You really oughtta watch your back, you got a stalker.
6-shot revolver, let's see who can draw first!
But if you draw last, you're gonna drop fast.
I'll pull my hood down and throw on my top hat.
Quick with the kukri, don't make me prove my skill.
I'll take these orphans out the textile and put you through the mill.
Long as I complete my mission doesn't matter who I kill.
Bet your ass Jack the Ripper's got some massive shoes to fill.
Knock me off the tracks, I'll come back with direction.
Nowhere to run, and you have no protection.
You can thank Darwin – Natural selection.
Leon and Sergei: That dude is fly, with that suite and tie. You don't mess around! (Don't mess around.)
Luna: She's by his side, nowhere to hide when they come to town!
Leon and Sergei: There's Assassin in their veins, trust in them they'll take the reins!
When your injustice comes to life!
Now it's you're time to die!
You're time to die! 3x.
Time to die!
They all take a moment to breath and smile. "Now that was bloody awesome!" said Luna.
"Nice touch in coming in for the song Lunes!" said Mazzy.
"Really does suite you" said Sully.
"That's my babe!" Sam kisses Luna's cheek making her chuckle.
"Okay then, what the hell is next for the creed?" asked Sergei.
Lincoln looks a bit shocked and unsettled by this. "Assassin's Creed Rogue."
They all look to Luna, this is the song she made and she poured her heart and guilt into it. Seeing the Assassin's Rogue felt like the old times when she forsake her brother to bad luck and torture. "Let's do this thing."
They are all concerned, but they know she wants to do this. To see this through and to see how good it will be. "Let's do it Lincoln" said Neil. Lincoln and Linka sigh and they push record and they start.
(Sam on piano solo first, along with Luna on her axe.)
Neil: No you don't wanna stick around.
I'll make heads roll when shit goes down.
Thought you got out, by skipping town.
As if I'd let you live it down.
Hold up your creed, I'll rip it down!
And when I look back, on all my choices.
You tried to silence, those unheard voices.
I never thought that you'd turn on me, but that's what you did.
Look at me now, you're gonna see what makes me tick!
Leon and Sergei: When they made me I broke the mold.
Cast out and now I'm on my own.
If you could see the light from here.
Your conscience would not be so clear.
Take your best shot won't take me down.
And just forsake me now.
Neil: Don't be so quick to call me rogue.
It wasn't pride that broke my code.
One man can live by reason, another calls it treason.
But I'll decide that on my own.
You wanna make heard, the people's voices.
Then you desert me, for my own choices.
I'd never thought I'd turn my back upon the creed.
Now here I stand and now the brotherhood will bleed!
Leon and Sergei: When they made me I broke the mold.
Cast out and now I'm on my own.
If you could see the light from here.
Your conscience would not be so clear.
Take your best shot won't take me down.
And just forsake me now.
Neil: Now when you look back, on all you're choices.
As you are drowned down by, all of our voices.
My brother but not my blood, becomes the enemy.
The time I die for you is gone, because you're dead to me!
Leon and Sergei: When they made me I broke the mold.
Cast out and now I'm on my own.
If you could see the light from here.
Your conscience would not be so clear.
Take your best shot won't take me down.
And just forsake me now.
Neil: Forsake me now! 5x.
(Piano solo ending.)
They all take a moment to breath slowly, then they hear some sniffling and turn around to see Luna on the verge of tears, Lincoln sees this and heads into the room and goes over to his sister and hugs her, Sam also hugs Luna and feels bad for her girlfriend and whatever is wrong with her.
"Yeah, this was a bad idea" replied Sergei. Neil and Leon also knew about this, same with Linka and the others. Melody and Vinyl Scratch stand up and see that this was going bad real fast.
Lincoln continues to hug his sister and he can hear her slowly whispering apologies to him for the wrong things she did to him. Luna still has issues with herself and her past. "Do you wanna keep going Luna?"
Luna sniffles and breaks the hug. "We got one song left, and I wanna see this through and how it'll sound. I'm sorry for the song Lincoln, I just let my emotions get the best of me and make what was in my mind. I still got problems."
Lincoln sighs and has an idea. He looks to the two teens. "DJ Pon-3!" The blue haired teen looks to him and lowers her glasses. "Can you play an axe?" The blue haired girl with shades nods and comes into the room.
"Linc, what are you doing?" asked Luna with tears running down her face.
Lincoln kisses her cheek. "I don't want you to push yourself, you need a break. Please." Luna sees there was no way out of this and accepts it.
Luna gets up and hands Vinyl Scratch her purple axe, the blue haired teen nods and hugs her. Luna hugs her back, they then depart from the hug and Lincoln holds Luna's hand and guides her out of the glass room and they sit onto the red leather couch and he hugs Luna and she hugs him back with a few tears, Jordan also joins them and hugs Luna as well.
Lincoln looks to Melody. "Melody, you gotta take my spot."
Melody nods. "You got it boss kid." She goes over to the recording table and sits onto the chair next to Linka, they both look to each other and nod and the others also nod and get ready. "Alright guys, the last one is Black Flag. Ready?"
"Ready!" they all reply. Melody hits record and they start the tine with an ominous beat.
Leon and Sergei: Upon the Horizon.
Through desolate islands.
The Black Flag is rising.
Neil: Fresh blood in the sand, twins guns in his hand.
Hidden blade up his sleeve, cheap rum on his breathe.
Said he's done with the past, but the captain keeps on looking back.
At the top of the mast, no other flag like the one that is black.
What becomes of the man, who runs with the deadliest scum in the land.
In his way there is nothing to stand, once he is done you'll be dust in the wind.
Leon and Sergei: Still he's a plundering lover of violence.
Born into poverty bred into silence
Neil: In his veins runs blood that is blessed.
Upon the Black Flag is the brotherhoods crest.
Leap from the sky, attack with my blades.
Land in your neck like they're Dracula fangs.
Battle the tide, humbling waves.
Fighting through thunder and lightning and rain.
Leon and Sergei: Ready your muskets, sharpen your knives.
Gather the rum and protect with your lives.
Neil: Send up the flag, show them our mark.
Fire the cannons and light up the dark!
Leon and Sergei: The Black Flag is rising.
Seeking retribution.
He walks among pirates.
His virtue is silenced.
His craft is illusion. (He's just an illusion.)
Neil: Climbing masts like an acrobat, leaving a massive bloodbath of aftermath.
The captain of Assassin's, back to back with Blackbeard that's clearly his habitat.
He cracks treasure maps, that's a fact and if you have to ask, don't even ask for half, No!
You act surprised you back is stabbed, Never forget that the Jackdaw's flag is black, bitch!
Leon and Sergei: Hail the denier of empires, keeper of secrets unknown.
All that he touches will set fire.
Neil: Now you're gonna reap what you sow!
Here comes another Kenway, show respect his next move is checkmate!
Take a second to get your head straight, Let your guard down, he'll make your neck break.
Drink rum, make kills and get laid. He'll take your wife home and break your bed frame.
Dead bodies across the deck lay, toss em overboard, lose the dead weight. (Ay!)
Leon and Sergei: The Black Flag is rising.
Seeking retribution.
He walks among pirates.
His virtue is silenced.
His craft is illusion. (He's just an illusion.)
Neil, Leon and Sergei: Under the burning sun, you feel the winter's breath.
You hear a whisper of fate, you're breaking into a sweat.
You look around for the source, it's just the voice in your head.
I am the reaper of death, come to collect!
Leon and Sergei: The Black Flag is rising. (The black flag is rising.)
Seeking retribution.
He walks among pirates.
His virtue is silenced.
His craft is illusion. (Illusion!)
They all remove their headsets and look to Linka. "Okay, we got all of it and it sounds good. We're going to have it transferred into the computer, do some editing and make it sound authentic in HD and then have them burned into CD's and make more copies."
They all then clean up their gear and get ready to leave, but then they look to Luna who was clapping and smiling and so is Lincoln and Jordan.
"You guys okay?" asked Neil.
"We are dad, I think I'm fine now" replied Luna. "Also, you did good in there DJ dude, rock on and let the music roll man." Vinyl Scratch gives her a thumbs up, goes to her and hands her back the axe. "Maybe we can chill out the next time we come up with something musical."
"I think we all deserves something to eat" said Sunset.
"Courage is making cookies, but I doubt they're done" replied Neil. "For now, let's clean this place up and get ready to send these songs we made to the world and to the Assassin Lincoln."
"We're gonna need Gyro for that one" replied Lincoln. "Where is he anyway?"
"Busy with something someplace we don't know, but he will be back here tomorrow for the graduation of Lori, Carol, Dana and Becky" replied Sergei.
"Right the graduation of the rest of the team, well the older teens" said Sam. "And sure as heck we're gonna be there, Principal Rivers asked us with the school band to perform the song for the whole ceremony."
"We are going to rock it tomorrow!" said Sully. "Heck yeah we are!" cheered Mazzy, she then kisses Sully's cheek making him blush.
Neil then looks to Leon and Sergei. "By the way, what the heck did Gyro need you two clowns for yesterday?" The others also look to them. "Leon? Sergei?"
Leon and Sergei remain silent and they recall the One Piece World and with the Saltwater Scourge Gangplank, and they did not like that trip. "We did some stuff with him involving information about stuff that are classified" replied Sergei in a stern tone.
"Yeah, what he said" replied Leon nervously. But Neil knows they're hiding something, but he'll let it slide. For now.
(Skip, nighttime.)
Lincoln and Luna are both in the bathroom and leaning onto each other in the large bathtub, and both of them have no clothes on and Luna is in her Luna Frost form and looks a bit miserable.
"Luna, I don't want you to keep thinking about the past, it won't do much but keep hurting you, just as it hurt me today. But I try to get over it" said Lincoln as he hugs her.
Luna pulls her brother closer. "Things are new and different and we're facing enemies and bad stuff that could tear us apart, it's not easy for me to get through all of that's happened without waking nightmares. The only way I can find peace is to find solace within my little bro, the one I swore to keep safe."
Lincoln smiled hearing this, but also felt bad that Luna is still conflicted. "We'll get through it, together. We're all strong in our own way and we'll be stronger as we fight on through. Always."
They both remain in each other's embrace, brother and sister. Lincoln and Luna. They have a feeling something else is inbound and more adventures are about to spark into chaos.
