Episode Eight: Home

Renamon: "It's not like that at all."

===================================

Azuma: "It's probably something we can't do anything about."

A"Thanks. It's enough to know that you care. That I still have friends."
==================================
E"Well, okay. That's good, I guess. Shall we be going, then?"

Kylie:<Why would you say?>

Lunamon:<Yeah, we're all friends here!>

Taiyo: "Yeah."

===================================

Azuma: "We're all in this together. Don't think otherwise."

By some unholy force, the other three are outside the park in a jiffy.

OOC: I think a timeskip is necessary. This has been kinda dragging...

*Eve nods to the new arrivals*

<So, I suppose the plan is to take down the Digital King at his concert?>

OOC: I don't even know who is around or what is going on. You use too many pronouns.

OOC: The group as a whole has been united because and I'm timeskipping. And I hate using non-fictional cities.

Outside the venue, the parking lot is crowded with clown cars, but otherwise there is no one else on the property besides them.

Inside are a massive amount of Jokermon, some in attire featuring KingEtemon's face on the front and tour dates on the back, others in attire saying STAFF, and others in their usual attire. None pay them any heed except those labled staff, collecting tickets from the fans.

Azuma: "This is strange."

E"(I say we sneak around picking off the Jokermon. Otherwise, we're probably going to have to fight them all in one big swarm like it's 300, or something.)"

*Eve and the Sorensons satdn near the others, Eve with a black back pack in her hand*

Eve:<I got my parents to take me shopping today. Since we're bound to run into horrid and/or mind control music, I brought the works.>

*She opens the backpack to reveal a jumble of noise cancelling headphones and ear plugs*

Cameron:<That's...wow.>

Eve:<I have a strong feeling about this.>

A Jokermon scootches past them to go give its ticket to an usher.

Azuma: "We lost the element of surprise when we walked in the front door. Not to mention none of them seem to care we're here."

An announcement comes over the intercom saying the show will be starting in ten minutes.

The Jokermon fans begin to make their way to the concert hall.

Azuma: "And even if they do attack, they're powerful weak. Or at least the one that Hitomi & I dealt with."

Because fuck it, Azuma steps up to the Jokermon taking tickets, presenting his. It looks at him and Patamon and scans his ticket then makes a gesture indicating for Azuma to hold out his hand. He does so and gets a VIP stamp on his hand.

OOC: Shit, missed this one.

R"Good thinking. But how did I get roped into this?"

A"Weren't you the one who said that we should come here?"

R"Yeah, but I wanted to bomb the monsters from orbit. I don't know what dumbass decided to just politely be ushered inside."

*Everyone looks at Azuma, since this seems to be his retard baby.*

Eve:<I have to agree with Roatha, but since I've gotten roped into this, I brought the stuff.>

*She starts passing out a set of heavy duty headphones and earplugs to everyone in the group, except for Azuma, since he's already inside*

While they're all thinking they're great strategists or can predict the future, Hitomi goes up to the usher presenting her ticket which gets scanned and her hand stamped.

The usher Jokermon stares at them like "Are you just going to stand there all day or what?"

*They participate in the scripted event.*

*So does everyone else*

A Jokermon leads them inside the concert hall, the seats full of Jokermon dressed like fans. The one leading them takes them to the front row, several seats marked reserved.

In front of the stage is a row of Jokermon wearings vests marked SECURITY.

[You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] begins to play as the curtain on the stage rises, smoke seeping out from underneath, the crowd cheering. And elaborate light show starts in tune with the music, a spotlight over KingEtemon as it sings, several Etemon on guitar, bass, drums, and synthesizer.

KingEtemon: "Bring me the dawn of the dead

Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time

You can tell this is an unaverage rage
Not where I thought I'd be
Eighteen living the dream

Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time

We feel so small watching the ball drop
You wanna dance it's your last chance babe
We feel so small watching the ball drop
You wanna dance it's your last chance

Welcome to the end of the world party
Your first move might be your last
This is the night we all leave it behind
Goodbye for the last time

Will you be invited
Your front row seats at the edge of the moon
The end is near
As we spin taking our last round

Bring me the dawn of the dead"

The crowd stands, cheering.

KingEtemon: "Good evening, Japan! We have some special guests with us tonight. Give a warm round of applause for the Chosen Children!"

The crowd cheers as a spotlight looms over the group.

KingEtemon: "We're gonna make sure to put on a great show for them and the players at home!"

*Roatha stands up & cups his hands around his mouth.*

R"So you're just the opening act, then? 'Cause you suck!"

*Euryale also stands up. Guilmon stops clapping his hands to the rhythm, perks his ears up & growls at the monkeys.*

E"I've also had enough of this. We're here now, so we might as well throw caution to the wind. I'm not afraid of this idiot."

A"Wait! We should at least try to resolve this peacefully!"

D<I'll resolve him right to pieces.>

*Lunamon and Terriermon start booing as well. The humans also stand up*

Terriermon:<HAHAHAHAHAHA all the fakes here are fake, loser!>

Cameron:<I don't see why not, we know it's going to come down to a fight sooner or later.>

The spotlight moves, so it's shining directly over Euryale.

KingEtemon: "I'd like to dedicate this next track to the Child of Courage."

The band begins [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] while KingEtemon shouts into the microphone.

KingEtemon: "Welcome to sin city bitches.
Please refrain from throwing your fucking body over the side
Fasten your fucking belts
Because this is going to be a rocky ride

You’re nothing more,
Than a self-centered whore.
You’re nothing more,
Than a self-centered whore.

How does it feel bitch?!

I’d ask where you’ve been,
But would you know where to begin?
It’s time you had a change,
Because every night is the fucking same
Each time you go to bed you meet someone new.
I swear to God mate,
Who could think highly of you?

I could say you’re the only one,
Then I’d be lying.
I could say that we are dead and done
But I know you’d only be crying.
There’s only so much I can do,
To try and fix you, to try and fix you.

Your time is up,
Look me in the eyes you slut
Your time is up bitch
You filthy fucking cunt
You filthy fucking cunt

If only you knew this one was for you
If only you knew..
Face down, ass up
That’s the way you like to fuck.
The way you like to fuck..
(fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck, fuck)

I could say you’re the only one,
Then I’d be lying.
I could say that we are dead and done
But I know you’d only be crying.
There’s only so much I can do,
To try and fix you, to try and fix you.

Heads will roll!

Open your eyes,
See the world,
You’re not daddy’s little fucking girl.
Open your eyes,
See the world,
You’re not daddy’s little fucking girl."

Azuma: "This one's not pulling any punches."

Taiyo seems quite upset over the songs content amd being dedicated to Euryale, the spotlight hovers over Taiyo while a second shines on Aroma.

KingEtemon: "Guess who this next track is dedicated to?"

E"Is that all? Burn him, Guilmon."

*Guilmon Warp Digivolves to War Growlmon & fires his Atomic Blaster. Dorumon follows suit, changing into Dorugreymon & following up with his bigass cannonball.*

E"Maybe you'll be reincarnated as something new. Like a talented musician."

*Everyone boos this time. All the digimon digivolve to their ultimate level, except for Rapidmon, who Golden Armor digivolves*

The Jokermon in front of the stage, jump in front of the attacks, fadong to black as the remaining one's fill in the gaps.

KingEtemon: "Dedicated to the Child of Purity from the Child of Love!"

The lights dim as the [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] starts.

KingEtemon: "I would never bother you
I would never promise to
I would never follow you
I would never bother you

Never speak a word again
I will crawl away for good

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear

No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain!
You know you're right

I'm so warm and calm inside
I no longer have to hide

Let's talk about someone else
Steaming soup begins to melt

Nothing really bothers her
She just wants to love herself

I will move away from here
You won't be afraid of fear

No thought was put into this
Always knew it would come to this

Things have never been so swell
I have never failed to fail

Pain!
You know you're right

Pain ..."

The audience cheers while KingEtemon thanks them. The lightshow changes becoming much more fast paced as the band begins [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

KingEtemon jumps off the stage, dropkicking WarGrowlmon. The other three Digivolve to their less bulky as less likely to bring the place down on them Ultimates.

A"...I didn't get that at all."

L<I got enough.>

*Lalamon Digivolves & starts slapping King Etemon from behind while WarGrowlmon braces itself & uses its arms to block, following up with an electric blast. Dorugreymon tail-whips the bastard.*

*GRapidmon fires his homing missiles at KingEtemon, while Crescemon fires her arrows and Karatenmon uses Feather Flare on him. Eve pats Aroma on the back*

<It's ok, just ignore him.>

The Etemon cease their playing, the ones on guitar and bass each play a high note, a soundwave destroying the missiles the angels and Taomon doing what they can to shield the humans from the explosion as KingEtemon jumps from WarGrowlmom, back to the stage.

The band starts another [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.]

KingEtemon: "The voices inside my head are taking over
They're telling me that my life is in danger
I'm scared that the silence won't come back forever
I believe this is my darkest hour

I pray
Over and over again
That this won't be my end
I still have a long life to live
I'm begging you, begging you

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

It's just too much to handle
I feel myself turn into stone
Desperate, as the voices linger
There's nothing left for me, please save my soul

I'm running out of time
I can feel the words crawling down my spine
I'm running out of time

(I can't remember the last time)

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me fade away
Don't let me die today

Take my hand
I'll pray for you today
I beg to see another day
Don't let me die today, die today

I can't remember the last time
That I said goodbye, or that I even tried
I'm becoming afraid, it's already to late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive

I hope this isn't my last night
As I lose my mind, and try to save my life
I'm becoming afraid, it's already too late
I'm on my knees, please help me stay alive"

The audience apart from the section not taken out in the explosion cheers. The spotlight over KingEtemon changes to red as it speaps into the microphone.

KingEtemon: "Okay, time for Plan B. This means war!"

The band goes silent and all light escapes from the concert hall, the beating of wings can be heard overhead. Anyone fortunate enough to be able to see in the dark can see a trio of [You must be registered and logged in to see this link.] coming at them.
