Chapter 7
At the Kinmoku, Healer and Maker are still guarding the palace. Kakyuu is resting on the palace.
"I wonder when Seiya could call us for our band?"
"It has been a few months, There's nothing else we can do, We're just guarding the princess."
"What choice do we have, Yaten? We cannot just leave our princess alone in the Kinmoku."
"Taiki, I really miss the fans of interacting with us."
"They were nice though. Although when we first arrived, the fans were so excited, and they were so noisy."
"Fans meeting idols are like that, Taiki."
At the entertainment agency in Earth, Seiya and Ace are still practicing for their comeback song 'Search For Your Love.'
"Ace, you improved a lot on your drum skills." Seiya smiled.
"For your concert, I have to work hard."
"Ace, sorry. A call from the Kinmoku."
"I'll go outside for a while, Seiya. I will be back soon."
"Don't take too long."
Ace walked out of the studio, and he passed through Tanaka.
"Oh, Ace. Where are you going? You haven't finished practicing." Tanaka asked as he stared at Ace.
"I'm just taking a walk through the studio."
"Heard Seiya said you had improved a lot on your drum skills."
"Yes."
"The studio haven't changed throughout these years?"
"Still remains the same, Ace. I assume you haven't been to a studio before?"
"Never for a long time."
"This studio is held for 10 years ago, we have a lot of idols."
"How do you meet Seiya by the way?"
"Well, one day he brought his two followers, which were Yaten and Taiki along to the studio, they said they wanted to be an idol, and they practiced everyday."
"You like them so much, Tanaka san?"
"I like them, honestly. I love their teamwork, not many arguments. That's how an idol works. Plus, They have a lot of events, and we earned a lot of money thanks to them. That year, the ratings of the agency increased a lot."
"About the last concert of the Starlights, mind asking?"
"Sure."
"How do you hold a concert?"
"It takes time though, we have to work out on a venue, the stage, the lights, and we have to check the budget, and most important is to check the speakers. There were some accidents by the agency which involves the audio problems."
"Are the bands able to continue the concert?" Ace questioned.
"Some did, some are unable to do it."
"Then the concert screwed up?"
"One of them screwed up, what a pity. The members disbanded."
"That's bad."
"So, I'm advising you, Ace. Since you were a newbie, I have to tell you, you and Seiya need to discuss on what were you going to do in case, there was an audio problem. We don't want to let the reputation of the Starlights be destroyed."
Seiya then finished calling Taiki and Yaten, and she called Ace back.
"Ace, I thought you left."
"Nothing, I'm just going out of the studio and observe the scenery."
"Seiya, you're here, Ace, talk to him for a second."
Tanaka got back to his office and check out the budget for their concert.
"Ace, what did Tanaka say to you?"
"About the concert next month."
"Ok. What did he say?"
"He advised to think of what we do when there is a audio problem, if unluckily, happening in next month."
"Sorry to interrupt, Ace. Yaten and Taiki said they wanted to go back to earth and perform."
"They wanted to come back?"
"Yaten and Taiki said they would like to give a special surprise to the audience."
"But what about me, Seiya?"
"You can play drums. I will tell the manager they would be back."
"I would also like to discuss on protecting the princess. Would you mind helping me out?"
"How long should I be able to stay with her?"
"Just for a while, until it's time for you to be back on stage."
"How will the concert be arranged?"
"Taiki and Yaten would appear in the climax of the concert, we should give the audience something astonishing."
"So, you want me at the time when you three perform, then I could go back to the Kinmoku?"
"Yes, and for the last song, Ace, you perform with Yaten and Taiki. Just follow the flow for the song that we will rehearse. Don't forget the songs that we rehearsed for us a few months ago!"
"Minor songs right?"
"I created the songs by myself, for buying time of Yaten and Taiki to come, but first, they have to go back."
"The songs are for our band?"
"You forgot?"
"Well, I was too focused on remembering the 'Search for your love' rehearsal, I forgot all the songs that we rehearsed."
"Come on, Ace! We still have only a month, then we have to perform on stage!"
"I'm terribly sorry, Seiya. The song you sung with Taiki and Yaten were too good, I love how you sang."
"But don't get too focused on this song, we have to find a way to buy time for them to return."
"How many songs did we actually rehearsed?"
"Ten."
"I'm toast."
"Don't worry about that, half of the songs, I'm in charge of singing solo. I'm rehearsing these five songs, just in case if the songs requires drums. Just keep the beat for a softer tone, play it slowly."
"We still have time though?"
"Yes, we are."
"There was a new song dedicated for us, although it's just only a few months."
"What's that?"
Usagi opened the door and finds Rei and the others waiting outside.
"It's you girls?"
"Usagi, I saw Seiya returned from the Kinmoku." Rei said.
"She is following with a red person." Minako said.
"There must be something related to you, Usagi. You know Seiya very well." Makoto said.
"Don't tell me she is cheating on you?"
"No, everyone. She is trying to hold a band."
"A band?"
"With the red person?"
"Shouldn't she be performing with Yaten and Taiki?" Minako asked.
"Well, is when Ace got back, which you refer as the person that you said before, Rei chan."
"Ace?"
"Phantom Ace is back, Usagi chan?" Minako's eyes glistened.
"Minako chan, sorry. His name was Ultraman Ace."
"Ultraman…Ace…..?" Minako's eyes turned back to normal with disappointment.
"Ace san was back, what happened?" Makoto questioned.
"He had finished a job for saving a kid, and he saw me."
"Does Seiya know him?"
"We did some normal preparations, and me and Seiya, along with Ace got to the Kinmoku, and Princess kakyuu already met Ace."
The inner senshi nodded together and understood what Ace was doing in earth. And they all sat on the sofa.
"So what I've heard from what you said, Usagi, Yaten and Taiki unable to perform with Seiya because of the princess?"
"Yes, Ami chan. They are so concerned."
"What Ace is in charge of to the band, if he was not singing?" Makoto asked.
"Drums."
"Drums? How did he do?"
"Seiya said Ace was working well, they practiced for a few months."
"Oh, that's good. I wonder how Ace would play drums, even he was an alien." Ami replied.
"I received an advertisement from outside, Seiya said she would open a concert!" Minako exclaimed.
"That's Ultraman Ace?" Rei pointed at the face of the red ultra.
"Yes, Rei chan." Usagi responded.
"Should we go to the concert and support the two?" Makoto asked,
"Sure, girls. I miss you all so much, and of course, I can give a visit to them and tell about what happened to Seiya right now." Usagi said.
"Don't forget to buy us tickets!"
The concert is near to Ace and Seiya, they know the time will come, they hope the arrangement for the concert could help their fans happy for their comeback.
