In the garage, Lincoln, Loona, and Luna were trying to figure out the perfect kind of theme song for Satan. Songwritting is never an easy thing to do, no matter how amazing a songwriter is. Even musicians who have the gift of writting a good song like Izzy Stradlin can struggle in the process.
Nevertheless, it was either this, or the lives of Lincoln's own sisters. Yes, he needed to come up with a badass song deacribing Wrath's King. Good thing Luna was there, being in a band herself.
"OK, so Lord Satan wants something cool and badass, right?" Said the female hellhound. "And Luna, you can shred a badass solo on your guitar right? Something that will make him go like: that was fucking awesome! All over his face, right?"
"Totally, man!" The rocker sister said. "But it would... probably depend on how long the guitar solo would be. Or how long i can shred." Then Luna looked st her hands. "Don't wanna blister them or male them bleed. I mean, i'm not like Zakk Wylde with the time he made his fingers bleed by playing a crazy solo, and he kept on going." She was dreading the thought of her fingers peeled to bloody flesh and bones for over-shredding. "And i'm not like Slash or Eddie Van Halen either."
"Look, i hate to break it to you, Luna," said the female hellhound, "but, i don't think we have a fucking choice about it. Besides, skin and bones heal overtime. Or at least grow back as new flesh and bones after heing broken."
"No, the last part you said is a starfish, Loona." Lincoln pointed
"Oh. Right."
"Well, i have suffered worst pain before. Like the time i scraped the right side of my leg in a bike accident. Felt like my cslf was on fire!"
"I remember that." Lincoln had an uneasy look on his face. "the blood spilling and the scab was huge."
"Don't talk about that!" Luna blurted.
"We're getting off-track here." said the female hellhound. "In many cases, the music comes before the lyrics. "Make it like a doom-metal sound. A Black Sabbath or a Slayer kind of sound."
"That can work." Said Lincoln. Pulling out a notebook and a pencil for the lyrics, he was brainstorming for some good prospo. "A-ha! I got it! The first part of the lyrics will say: 'He is the king. He rules over everything."
"Good start, dude. Good start." His rocker sister smiled.
After a few minutes have passed, the female hellhound said: "here's the chorus... i think." Clearing her throat, Loona sang: "Satan! The lord of all! Satan! Rise or Fall! Jesus can never beat him, God can never smite him."
"Huh. Or how about this?" The human rocker girl pointed: "Satan, the king will rise. Satan, everyone dies."
"nah, no good." Said Lincoln. "Probably back to the first chorus.
"you're right." Said his sister in defeat.
"So we need to come up with lyrics for the bridges of the song or the pre-chorus." Loona pointed. "Something like this: Beware of his might, he will turn the day into night!"
"Ooh, very nice." said Lincoln as he was writing the pre-chorus down. So for the main riff, it would be something epic. Something Satan will love."
Luna came up with an idea and played a riff that was a combination of "Master of Puppets" and "Rock You Like a Hurricane". So far, it sounded pretty good. The white-haired boy and female hellhound were liking it a very good deal. It sounded epic enough, and it could possibly please the King of Wrath. Finally, after getting the chorus and bridges right, there was the solo. Luna was starting off the solo in a slow way, snd then when the middle of it came, she was shredding faster, she didn't even care about the blisters forming at her tips. Bear the end it was slow again and the last ten seconds on the solo were fast shredding with a powerful high note at the end.
"That was cool, Luna!" Said Lincoln. "One of the best solos you've ever done."
"Yeah, but... i'm not Nina. One of the temporary replacments for the Moon Goats. She is a way better guitarist than i am." The rocker girl admitted. "Shame she can't help us right now."
"C'est la vie, i'm afraid, mon amie." Said the female hellhound in her deadpan voice.
The process took three, long, agonizing hours to perfect, but at last, the three managed to finalize the song for Satan. Yes, three whole hours to make sure it was ready and good enough for the devil. So Lincoln managed to gather the sisters together to show them the song they came up with, and, the sisters really liked it too. It was certainly a people pleaser.
"Loona, you can still play guitar, can you?" Asked Lincoln
"Totally." Said the hellhound with a confident look on her wolf-like face. "We're gonna blow Satan's fucking face off with what we came up with."
In Hell
Everyone was back at Satan's palace, and the dark lord could hardly wait to see what Lincoln had cooked up for him. "Well, your majesty." said Lincoln, "we did it. We're ready to show toy what we got."
"Fucking A." Satan looked amused. "But I didn't say we would do it here."
"Oh. Then where will they perform your highness?" Asked Clyde
Snapping his left fingers, everyone was teleported to what appeared to be a stadium or an auditorium of some kind. Lincoln looked surprised and nervous about how big this audience. "Wait, wait, wait, you didn't tell me that we would perform your song in this place."
"I like to surprise people." Satan looked smug. "Now i'll give you ten minutes to prepare your instruments and amps."
As the musicians hit backstage, the rest of Lincoln's sisters, Millie, Stolas, Octavia, Clyde, and Blitzo were all sitting in the front rows, though Lucy was bummed because she wanted to sit right next to Satan (or given his large size, sit on one of his shoulders).
It was just then Satan went up to the Goth girl and said: "wanna sit with me, Lucy?"
Then the goth girl made an actual gasp of joy and replied: "yes, my lord. A million times yes!"
"Ok ok," said Satan with a chuckle. He picked up Lucy and placed him on his left shoulder, much to Lucy's delight.
"Looks like she's living her dream." said Lola while rolling her eyes.
"Maybe she'll die a happy woman now." Lana smiled.
Clyde also got good treatment as he was sitting in the Goetia booth between Stolas and Octavia. The other deadly sins were in their booth with Lucifer sitting next to Satan.
Backstage, Lincoln, his musician sister, Loona, Tex, Moxxie, and Crymini were preparing their instruments and speakers for the song, and they were all nervous, but they had no choice. After all, the song is a banger. Tex was going to play drums, Crymini was going to play bass, Moxxie was going to be aditional guitar, Luna as mostly the rhythm guitarist, and the sexy hellhound herself as the lead guitarist.
Lincoln was checking his angelic voice, and it was still working. But it wasn't enough top contain the butterflies in his belly. "You doing alright, dude?" said Crymini to Lincoln. "You look like you have to go to the bathroom real bad."
"Don't even say that, Crymini. He didn't tell me that it was going to be in front of tall these people."
"We can do this, little buddy." said Tex, giving Lincoln a gentle pat on the back. "Just keep your head high and do what you do best, be a good singer."
"You've never let anyone down before." said Moxxie. "If you did good with Katie Mayday, you can so good now."
"We're there for you, Lincoln." said Loona.
"And if that Satan's gonna eat me if we don't please him... better me than you, little bro." The rocker girl boldly said.
"OK." Lincoln sighed as the curtain flew open. Now the auditorium was packed with every seat taken by someone. "Hello everyone." said Lincoln. "I am going to perform a cool theme sing for Lord Satan, the King-"
"highly-esteemed." The king coughed
"The highly-esteemed King of Wrath." Many people were clapping and looked at Satan, looking proud of himself as usual. Lucifer looked annoyed at the usual arrogance Wrath's king was displaying. His draconoid mouth is as big as his ego. "Get ready."
Crymini created a nice bass riff in the beginning, then Tex commenced a drum breakdown leaving the three guitarists jamming and Loona doing a beginning solo.
"As you know," Lincoln sang, "lawbreakers have no place to go! When you die, it's no use trying to lie." his sister gave a nice, tasty guitar riff with her signature axe. "If you really can't tell, Satan will say you are in Hell. Prepared to be blown away, for in Hell you're here to stay! Beware of his might, or he will turn your day into night!"
"He's Satan!" Lincoln, and Both Luna's sang together in the chorus. "The Lord of All. He's Satan! Rise or fall! Jesus can never smite him, God can never defeat him! Satan! Praise him in all his glory, his look is menacing and a perfect story. Satan." So far, the King of Wrath was liking this song so far, and amusing look appeared on his face as he rested his right fist under his chin. Lucy herself was enjoying it."
"This was better than I expected." said Lucy
"Well, the song is not over yet, kiddo." said Satan
It was Lincoln soloing his singing again and the sounds continued on for the next two minutes. It was then the guitar solo commenced. His rocker sister started it off nice and slow with Moxxie helping her out. Then came the fast part of the solo with Loona shredding on her own guitar, then it was Luna's turn again, and along came the blistering, amazing, and epic ending part of the minute long solo. "Satan!" Lincoln sang as the music was getting more intense. "The Lord of all. Satan! Rise or fall! If you lie, then again you will die! Lawbreakers beware, He will make your life Hell without a care! Lord Satan!"
He repeated the title name of the song for about three more times and Lincoln sang out the king's name as Loona was shredding all out again, then the song ended with her giving the guitar a screeching sound. Just like that, there was a loud round of applause in the auditorium. All the energy given out in the high note from Lincoln was enough to make him collapse of exhaustion.
The king of Wrath got up and clapped his hands "fucking A! That was awesome!" He said. Lincoln had done it.
Enjoying a nice non-alcololic drink as a celebration in Satan's palace. "So, what did you think, your majesty?" Lincoln asked
"Honestly... i loved it." Satan replied with his arms crossed proudly.
Before he knew it, Lincoln felt himself being hugged all over by his sisters and tears of joy ran down his face. "I'm so glad i didn't lose you guys. Satan won't eat you."
"About that," said Satan. "I was never going to eat your sisters. Just messing with you, Linc."
"What? Then.. why did you say yoy were going to est my sisters if i failed?"
"Ah, just to get you to play ball." The King of Wrath didn't show any remorse about this and smirked, leaving thr kids unamused. "But of course, a deal's a deal." he handed the boy a big check. "Five hundred grand as promised. Fair warning, you can't really exchange this shit for Earth currency. So you can only spend it down here in Hell.
