Helluva Loud Adventures.
"Battle of the bands in Great Lakes City."

(May 28. Great Lakes City.)

Here we are, at the place where this battle of the bands is being held, though it was gonna be at the music place that this man named Ziggy owns, instead it has been moved and made into the Great Lakes City Park. Everyone is here, and all of the bands are all prepared to perform on stage.

The bands: cats over the scars, the zoo monkeys and The GLC Chupacabras. Also there, are the Luna-Tics, though they plan to change their name soon, when the time comes and with them are Lincoln Silva Hound and Verosika Mayday.

Lincoln is going through the lyrics of the song, and even Verosika as they are all backstage and Chunk is busy checking on the stereos and other gear they have, then Lincoln sees the other band. "Hey there is the other band, what are they called again?"

Chunk sees them. "The GLC Chupacabras, and... Wait, I thought there were four of them, what happened to the singer to the band?"

"I am right here." They all turn around and see Bobby. "Hey guys, and hello demon lady... I mean, Ms. Verosika Mayday." He blushes and chuckles nervously.

The succubus pop star is not amused. "Wow, if my boyfriend was here right now and heard that... He would've shot you in the head, and then castrated you. Be grateful he is busy at his famous Royal Woods restaurant." she then goes back to reading the lyrics.

Lori then goes over and looks to Bobby sternly. "Thankfully. I am here, remember that Bobby."

Bobby chuckles nervously and then he answers what the others have been wondering. "I was part of that band, but the whole thing was a total bust. Even though the band has Parr leading, the other members Enrique and Devon weren't good pals for me. They seemed heavy metal and rebellious and... It wasn't me, I chose to just be myself and I am gonna perform alongside this guy."

They then see the man who is with Bobby. "The name is Ziggy, and the band over there... They are good, but they're rebel and rude nature... that kinda doesn't seem to fit well for me to understand and then I wondered why did I even let these guys be part of this, and then I realized that I am friends with Parr."

They don't know that the GLC Chupacabras heard them and Parr is now regret in this, and he sees how Bobby is right, this band is way too mean and rude, and not Bobby's thing. Lincoln then speaks. "So, you're gonna be jamming with Ziggy here? Good choice, man."

"Thanks" replied Bobby and then he asks. "So, you guys are gonna compete here too, huh?"

Luna nods. "Dang right, and we are gonna rock it like it's more than what we jam and rock. We are so awesome when we rock n' roll and no way can we lose, but we'll respect you and Ziggy, and possibly the other bands, but those GLC not the DLC rejects... We're not gonna show any respect if they're gonna be a bunch of rude and mean meat headed dick wads."

Sully scoffs. "More like jerkies from the rear end hatched from the sick turkey."

Mazzy smirks. "How about the renegades that got their eyes burnt by lemonades?"

Sam laughs. "Oh, perhaps the morons from moron-city who never seen a brain?"

They all laugh at what they are saying, while Parr overhears this and his pals. Parr then sees that perhaps joining this band, was a terrible idea, but his friends Devon and Enrique are too busy looking in awe at Luna, Sam and Verosika Mayday, and they have heart eyes.

Loona on the other hand sees that she has a text message from Tannins and she is in her human form.

Tannins – Apparently Richmund is unaware that all of you are not within Royal Woods, and the plan you have made worked, he is now busy trying to fix one of the facilities he runs back on track. He will be sending the rest of the day trying to restore his companies back in motion.

Loona smirks. 'Yes! It fucking worked, perhaps if we keep sabotaging his companies, he won't have time trying to meddle with us, we can make this last till the boat trip to Lake Eddy is over.'

(Later.)

After the band of Ziggy and Bobby have finished their performance and everyone are amazed and cheer at what they did and even Lori and the friends of Bobby, they loved their performance and Charlie and Vaggie are there and now they understand why Lori likes him a lot, he's a good singer.

At the back, the others all clap and applaud at that awesome performance they just made and now Devon and Enrique regret not letting Bobby be part of the band, because Bobby and Ziggy got an amazingly large applaud from the crowd, while the GLC Chupacabras didn't get much, and not all of them were fans of their musical lyrics.

Verosika smirks. "Gotta say, those guys know how to perform and his voice would be good if he had a decent band who aren't a bunch of updraft in the ass fuckers."

Luna smirks. "They sure know how to make that tune work, though I think he got the musical skills from his grandpa, he is the musical type. A dang shame he ain't competing in this, some old time classic Spanish songs aren't too bad to listen to."

They then hear the announcer call out the name of the Luna-Tics and they know that it is their turn now, and they walk by Bobby and Ziggy and they high five and fist bump with them, as a sign of respect, and this confuses Devon and Enrique. "Wait, why didn't we get a respectful high five?" asked Devon.

Parr sighs and he questions why his two band mates didn't even figure that out. Then they see the lights on the stage are dark, and everyone records what is happening, and then the spotlight shines upon Sully as he plays his keytar, and then the song begins.

Verosika Mayday: 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.
The sweat on your brow.
Is what you'll reap and sow

Forge your own fortune.
From salt and from sand.
No gods or kings.
Only man.

Lincoln and Luna: My 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 descend the depths fathom by fathom.
As if the ocean opened up and I'd 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.

If you believe the sweat of your brow oughta be yours.
Listen to Andrew Ryan the philosophical entrepreneur.
He might've put me on blast but I'll get past this thug.
I asked who Fontaine was and Atlas shrugged.

Welcome to rapture where we settle and manufacture.
Evolution, natural selections happing faster.
Were you shocked when I said I was nothing less than electric?
This city's dead but I beat I can resurrect it.

Just like a Lazarus Vector giving breath to the breathless.
I will never let a single engine rest in Hephaestus.
Yeah I'm getting more dependent on medkits.
My doctor's got sick, demented obsessions.

For promise you're pretty, you'll get less than perfection.
Remember ugliness is an aggressive infection.
Forget the hippocrat oath, it 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 pumping lead in these leadheads.
I call it artwork, want it censored? Forget it.
I got a killer's disposition, guess it's genetic.

If death is a choice.
Then I reject it.

All Members of the band: Rise rapture rise.
We turn our hopes up to the skies.
Rise rapture rise.
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.

Lincoln and Luna: Roll up my sleeves so blood will not get on 'em.
These shackles remind me I started from the bottom.
I was just a little fish who hadn't had his cherry popped.
Now I'm a grown man damn it, I ain't scared of.

Shots, shots, shots, shots, shots, shots.

Now my veins are on fire.
Rearranging DNA sounds like playing with fire.
When sciences are practiced with a lack of moral guidance.
Splicers seek to satisfy their sick sadistic vices.
Victims reek of 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.
The great and strong will not yield to the weak and feeble

You'll need cerebral upgrades to see me as your equal.
Harvest Adam, feed on Eve, it doesn't make me evil.
Because my survival rides on giving power to the people.
Many of desperate denizens deal with deprivation.

But let's be fair, Laissez-faire, forget the regulations.
This economy's perfectly working without you.
Now let me fill my cravings at this circus of values.
Drawn here like a moth to a flame.

Fallen from Grace.
Swallowed by a watery grave.
Now I frolic on the stage like a part in a play.
As if I was nothing but a puppet.
Just a pawn in the game.
Looking for something to set me apart from a slave.

All Members of the band: Rise rapture rise.
We turn our hopes up to the skies.
Rise rapture rise.
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.

Verosika, Luna and Sam: Rapture is bleeding through cracks that are leaking.
Dwindling memories tell secrets they're keeping.
Demons disguised by benign masquerades.
Angels climb out of their graves.

Lincoln and Luna: 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 kick the hornet 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 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 I let you seize my city I'm gonna destroy it.

So 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 team 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, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey, obey.

All Members of the band: Rise rapture rise.
We turn our hopes up to the skies.
Rise rapture rise.
We'll go down with our sinking paradise.

My city is thriving (rise rapture rise.)
Your allies, chose them wisely (we'll go down with our sinking paradise.)

Our rapture is rising (rise rapture rise.)
Stand with us, would you kindly (we'll go down with our sinking paradise.)
Rise?

The crowd remains silent, and then they all cheer at what they did, and then they take a bow and high five each other, Verosika smirks and loved what they did. 'We did a dang good gig, that shit was fucking awesome, and fuck the other bands! Luna and her band, are all about this, singing together, and cooperating. I like this.'

Loona is impressed at what her kids did and she is happy that they bonded by performing alongside Verosika, she can tell that when the day comes and she truly becomes part of the family, then things are gonna become something even more interesting.

Bobby and Ziggy also clap, and they can tell that this band might win it. But they cannot be too sure about who will the winners be, but the two pals of Parr are too busy mesmerized by Luna, Sam and Verosika Mayday.

Parr then thinks about his options about these two. 'You know what, forget this. I don't need this band, perhaps Bobby will wanna start a band with me, and we can compete in any other battle of the bands.'

"To be continued in the next chapter folks!"

A/N: They came, they jammed it out and the winners will be announced in the next chapter, and they even managed to ensure that Richmund is unaware of where they are, but two guys might be into them after this. I hope you all enjoyed reading this new chapter folks!
