Eternal Gaiden 4: The Karaoke Tournament
Inside of a dark room a screen lit up before a man started to sing as lyrics appeared on the screen and background music was starting through the speakers.
(Cue: JUSTICE by Hiroyuki Takami)
Nemuru yōna seijaku no yami de
Niramitsukeru shinjitsu no yukue
Tenohira de korogasu Marionette
Kishimu yō ni ugokidasu sadame
Kuroi honō ga utsukushiku togatte
Tsuranuita inochi no kusabi
As he was singing he did a few moves with his arms while still having the microphone in his hand close to his mouth.
Taorekonda sono basho de
Sotto me wo tojireba ī
"Jikan" ga miru yume no naka de
Yasuraka ni mu ni kaerou
He pauses as the music did a few beeps and while the lights flash a few times.
JUSTICE yoake no ōzora ni
Mei hibiku toki no Campanella
JUSTICE kako ya yume ya kioku
Karamitsuku subete wo Just Reset
JUSTICE ano hi no itami sae
Dakishimeru yo ni kiete ku
JUSTICE furikaerazu yukou
Ima hajimari no sekai kara Restart
He paused again as he nodded his head a few times.
Sameta ato no bōbaku no hate de
Kakikaete ku shinjitsu no Rule
Tenohira de aragau Marionette
Nageku yō ni kuzure yuku Real
Hieta honō wo utsukushiku kazatte
Okuridasu tamuke no sanbika
Hajike tonda haguruma wo
Sotto te ni no se kiku kodō
"Jikan" ga miru yume no naka de
Yasuraka ni tomareba ī
He paused as the lights flash.
JUSTICE mada mi me no ōzora ni
Mei hibike toki no Campanella
JUSTICE kako to kyō wo tsunagu
Factor no subete wo Just Reset
JUSTICE ano hi no namida sae
Gensō no mukō e kiete ku
JUSTICE tamerawazu ni yukou
Sā hajimari no sekai kara Reset
He pauses for a good while as the lights do a few flashes around him as he lowered his head.
JUSTICE tadashī-sa no kanashimi
Kanade yuku toki no Campanella
JUSTICE nando kurikaeshite
Tachikirenu rensa wo Just Restart
He sings in a quiet tone as he raises his head and arm before he swings his arm sideways.
JUSTICE yoake no ōzora ni
Mei hibiku toki no Campanella
JUSTICE kako ya yume ya kioku
Karamitsuku subete wo Just Reset
JUSTICE ano hi no itami sae
Dakishimeru yo ni kiete ku
JUSTICE furikaerazu yukou
Ima hajimari no sekai kara Restart
(End of song)
The singer had finished his song as the lights turned revealing to be none other than Ken before his friends and girlfriend clapped on how good he was.
In the room was Kyoya, Hayate, Ange, Sala, Salia, Hilda, Rosalie, Chris, Ersha, Vivian, Kanami, and Naga, with most of them wearing more modern and casual clothes.
"See? I told you he can sing." Salia said.
"Okay, so I was wrong." Ange shrugged.
"And the score is…" Ken said as he looked at the screen which had a ranking system and his name rose up to...third place with a score of 92 points. "Ah man...third place, dang it."
There were other names on the screen ranking. Ange and Sala were tied in first place with 100 points (No surprises there), Hilda was in second place with 93 points, Vivian was in fourth place with 88 points, Kaname and Naga were in fifth place with 79 points, Rosalie and Chris were in sixth place with 72 points, Ersha was in seventh place with 65 points, and Salia was in last place with 5 points.
The reason for the ranking and why they were in the room, is because they decided to hold a karaoke tournament. One time Salia had seen and heard Ken humming to himself and he was quite good at it, and Hayate and Kyoya had some karaoke matches together which Sala and Kaname overheard and they had nice singing voices.
Then one day when Sala and Ange were done with their usual meeting, they decided to do this tournament to see who's the better singer is and told their friends about it and they agreed to join this tournament,
"Hey it was still pretty close to my ranking." Hilda said as Ken sits down beside Kyoya and Hayate as Kyoya was looking at the tablet to pick out a song for his turn.
"And at least you didn't sound like a dying cat like Salia." Chris stated and Salia cheeks turned red when she said that.
"T-That's not true! Right, Ken?" Salia asked as she turned to her boyfriend.
Ken looks at her before he starts to whistle as he averts eye contact from Salia, which causes the latter to pout.
"But still I'm surprised to find these songs here." Kyoya said as the songs he was searching through were Kamen Rider songs he, Hayate, and Ken would often listen to. The openings and the theme songs.
"So you're saying that you're familiar with some of these songs?" Sala asked as she looked at the list with Kyoya.
"Yeah, in fact we grow up listening to these." Kyoya nodded.
"Well in anycase, it's my turn now." Hayate said as he stood up and faced the others as he was holding a microphone in his hand. "And I picked out the perfect song."
(Cue: Don't Lose Your Mind by S.S.P.D. 〜 Steel Sound Police Dept)
The song starts as Hayate nodded by each guitar stroke.
Don't Trust donna machine demo
Saishin no shinka mo
You know command wo dasu
Maindo ga hitsuyou
Nejireta jidai miwatasu sekai zetsubou shitatte
Massugu atsuku hashireru kokoro mamotte miseru sa
Mayoi areba sugu nottorareru
Kimi ga kizuita rekishi wo kurasshu saseru na
He paused for a quick moment before he continued.

Hajimaru Life danzen Alive

Hitori kiri datte hashiritsuzukeru no sa Don't lose your mind
Hayate paused for a moment as he nodded his head by each guitar stroke.
It's Time ketteiteki na

Ima kimi dake ga ugokidaseru no nara Don't lose your mind
He sang the last part a bit longer before he paused once again as he nodded his head by each guitar stroke.
Kokoro dokka chuuto hanpa

Everyday you try

(End of song)
With that the song was now done as Hayate stopped singing. His friends and girlfriend clapped on how good he was.
"Man and I thought Ken's song was cool, but that one was really something." Rosalie said.
"But what kind of score did he get?" Chris said as she and the others turned to the scoreboard.
Hayate ranking is...2nd place beating Hilda by 95 points.
"Hell yes!" Hayate cheered that he was able to beat Hilda's score at least.
"Seriously? I lost to a guy?" Hilda asked in disbelief about that.
"Oh don't feel too bad about it, Hilda, you'll top him next time." Ange told the red-head.
"If you have the guts." Hayate said with a smug tone as he sat down beside Kyoya and Ken.
"Oh? So that's how you want to put it. Challenge accepted then, just you wait I'll beat you next time." Hilda told him.
"I like to see you try." Hayate said.
"Oh Hayate…" Kaname sighed as she shook her head.
"Well in any case. It's my turn now." Kyoya said as he picked out a song.
"Let's see you top my score, Kyoya." Hayate said as Kyoya stood up as it was now his turn to sing his song as Hayate sits back down.
"Alright, you're on." Kyoya said as he picked up the mic.
(Cue: Over 'Quartzer' by Shuta Sueyoshi (AAA) feat. ISSA)
The song begins and digital beats are heard, and to Hayate and Ken's surprise it was a song they didn't recognize.
"Now that's a little new." Ken said.
(Oh, yeah. Ohh…)
Kyoya begins to sing in a quiet tone before he begins to sing in a louder tone.
Isshun de tsukamitoru no sa Are you ready?
(Are you lazy?)

He paused for a short moment.

Kyoya once again paused as the digital beats were heard.

(Are you brighter?)

(Drivin' baby!)

Kyoya paused for a short moment.
Now, Over "Quartzer"
Toki no ame Surinukete Tomo ni

(End of song)
With that the song was finished as Kyoya stopped singing, and his friends and girlfriend clapped by how good his singing was.
"Thank you. Thank you. You're too kind." Kyoya said before they all turned to the scoreboard.
Kyoya's score was...99 points, beating Hayate as he took second place from him.
"Dang it...I was so close." Kyoya said as he was one point off of beating Ange and Sala.
"Don't feel too bad about it, Kyoya. You sing very admirably." Sala told him.
"And at least you've beaten Hayate's score." Ange told him.
"I know but still…" Kyoya sighed as he sat down beside Hayate and Ken.
"But still what sort of song was that?" Ken asked.
"Not sure. I just sort of found it and sang it once. Don't know why, but it sounded right to me." Kyoya told him.
"But I'm amazed at how good you three are at singing." Tusk said which got everyone's attention as they turned to him. "W-What?"
"You know, it just occurred to us that we haven't seen you sing before." Kyoya said.
"That is true." Ange said, and Tusk's blinks in realization that they want him to go next.
"Wait, you want me to sing next? No way! And besides, I have never even sung before!" Tusk said as he waved his hands.
"Oh come on! It will be fine." Ange said as she stood up and grabbed onto his arm and forced him to stand up, as Kyoya picked out a song for him.
"Besides, you heard us sing. So it's only fair that you do the same." Kyoya said as he chose the perfect song for Tusk as music begins to play through the speakers.
"So come on! It's just one song! How bad can you be?" Hayate said as he handed a mic in Tusk's hands, before he and Ange sat back down.
Tusk looked at the mic in his hand and at his friends in the room, and saw the eager looks they were giving.
Tusk sighs before he begins to sing…
Lamia was seen in the main room of the sports center building, with a basket in her hand as she was waiting for Vivian and friends to be done with their little karaoke tournament and to have their picnic.
She heard the communicator on the wall ringing as she turned to it, and soon pressed the button to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Lamia-san…" Said Kyoya in a weak tone in his voice.
"Kyoya-san? Is something wrong?" Lamia asked after hearing the tone in his voice.
"Please…"
Lamia blinks in wondering what was wrong.
"Lamia-san...please...get help…" Kyoya mutters to the communicator on the wall as he falls to the ground.
The others were also on the ground, as they were groaning after Tusk had finished singing the song he had chosen.
Tusk looks at the others and blushes in embarrassment if he was really that bad.
There you have it, I hope that you like it. Please review to tell me what you think.
