“Oh my Clematis…”

Jordana started singing, not like she had a choice. Thousands of aliens are watching her.

“Don’t Leave my universe..”

Jordana sings about Sora, singing is her passion.

They sing so well together.. Maybe that's the reason that the aliens “love” them together.

“Always be by my side..”

The score started counting…

Sora started talking, as Jordana did some Vocals.

“Do you believe in god? Once upon a time, mankind believed in god and had religion. They believe that things that cannot be solved by human strength are the will of god. Believed that the the entire universe revolves around the Earth. Thought that the place that connected with the sky, which they could not dare to reach was the place where the gods lived. From the moment humanity left the universe, we all forgot god.”

She shifts the focus to Jordana.

“But if belief in god is human.. If all I can do as a human is to believe.. My god, My universe!”

The score was 87-86

It was then they both learned the “Punishment.”

Jordana got shot in front of her best friend.

Sora sings the rest of the song sadly.

Sora goes into her “room”, falling onto her bed. Crying, looking at pics of her and Jordana.

Looking in the drawer, she finds a tape. Like any other people, she plays it.

“I don’t have any words anymore..”

It was Jordana’s singing! Sora sits there mesmerized- crying still.

“Show me proof that you’re here now Lord..”

As they emerge from the prep room, Arin makes a note on his weird ass guitar, and looks at Sora. Cinder side eyes him. Arin starts singing

“Come on!!”

His voice is powerful.. He sings about Sora and him..

“Don’t leave me..”

Arin drops his weird ahh guitar, blood spills; it was a alien. Arin looks down at it, he just accidentally committed murder on stage. Sora looks at the scene, not understanding what the fuck is happening. Arin got a punishment, but he still is apart of alien stage.

Sora glanced at him, so did Frak. But Frak had a shine in eyes..

Frak And Frohicky emerge from the prep room. Frak puts hIs hands on the mic.

“The soggy darkness crouched down..”

It's not clear who OR what he’s singing about but-

“You who shine, I stand next to you.”
Bros singing about AriN.. who’s going to tell him. Anywho Frohicky sings as nice as he can, but he still sucks.

90-68

“FRAK WIN”

Well, most contestants have gone up and did their thing, Jay was in his “room” doing his own thing.

Chapter Text

Sora is standing there, heels on, hair styled, beautiful dress, and lipgloss. It’s apparent that the aliens want her to look good, but why?
After what seems like 25 years, Jay finally comes out of the prep room. Smiling like an idiot as the people cheer for him. Jay looks at her and whistles. Sora walks away, Jay’s singing some odd love song.

As he whispers things like “My savior, Beautiful soul”, Sora pushes him away
“I don’t believe you, your a liar”
Jay perfectly predicted what Sora was going to say. Is this some sort of tricky?

Jay then danced just like Jordana, perfectly “mocking” Sora didn’t believe it. Jay was just in front of her- and Jordana’s dead?
Jay danced with her, but Sora slapped him away. Sora knew better than that.

When Jay wasn’t looking at Sora, she looked into the stage's reflection. Jordana wasn’t there.

Jay and Sora keep singing, Sora trying not to lose.
The aliens cheer for Jay and it looks like Sora can’t run away from this one.
Her mind keeps playing games on her. She sees her and Jordana as kids. Kid Jordana looks at Sora, then dead Jordana appears in front of her.

It was then Sora had to make a hard decision. Get Jordana’s same punishment or find a way to “forfeit” the round. But that's impossible right?
But she found a way. Sora aggressively choked him, pinning him to the ground. Sora started aggressively punching Jay. Well she found a way. The robotic guards immediately charge towards her, the aliens in shock. The guards pull her away. The VERY injured Jay got a few more lyrics out his mouth
“Ruler of my heart, Ruler of my heart, Ruler of my heart..”

The landscape became smoky and all Jay saw was Nya and other rebellion members pulling Sora away from the stage.

Nya glaring at him.

As Sora gets into bed, she starts having a weird dream. Jordana as a kid was looking at her, in clothing that was soft. Sora looks down, she was a kid too. The alien pushes Jordana back down. Sora keeps looking, mesmerized and looking at Jordana. As the glass keeps moving, they get a view of the night sky. Sora takes a good look at Jordana. Jordana was sitting there, her head looking at Sora. Sora has her hand on the glass, looking at her. The glass moves and both of their “tanks” starts moving apart. Sora starts crying, not wanting to move. Jordana puts her hands onto the glass too, also not wanting to move. Sora waves at her, hoping to meet again. Jordana also waves.

Nya looks down at Sora from her bed, hoping that she was ok

Chapter Text

Nya looks at a bored Sora, and back at the planning wall. The thing in the center? Alien stage. It all connects to Alien stage. A few minutes pass, and they get on the road, endless cheer and applause. BOOM! One of the aliens buildings exploded, their robots flying away.

Nya takes Sora into her arms, Nya enjoying the chaos, but Sora looks away, scared. You only get one life, so Nya lives hers for her. Sora always runs away from the chaos, not wanting any of it. Nya grabs Sora’s arm, pulling her on to the bike. A group of robots block their way.

“Nya, whats going to happen now?” Sora asks
“Just wait for it, Sora.” Nya says.

Breaking the window, Cole and Kai come in on an bike.

“Heard you need backup sis!” Kai yells

Sora and Nya race out of there. When they are outside, an billboard of Jay plays. When Nya saw it, she thought of the good days. Riding on Kai’s back and Jay crawling on her. But one memory stuck in her head. Seeing Kai barely moving, blood around him, and seeing Jay, with blood on his fist.

A bit later ahead, robots caught Nya, Sora still free stood up. An robot tried to swing at her but she dodged it, sacrificing her ponytail. With her gun, she shot one of the robots, distracting most of the robots, and setting Nya free. Nya hugged Sora, but Sora was touching her hair, mostly because half of it was gone.

The robots write Nya’s name in the sand when they see Nya and Sora race away. Nya and Sora get to the stadium, on the screen it reads “FRAK V ARIN” and then cycles to a picture of Sora with the word “MISSING” on the top. Which makes Nya hug Sora tighter.

Chapter Text

Both Frak and Arin stood there. They knew that if one of them lost, one of them will die. You could hear Arin's heart beating, thinking of everything that lead him here. Being watched by the aliens for "making trouble" and all the tests. The pure sight of Frak. Everything leads to here.
"Allow me, to the tips of your fingers. Allow me, to the ends of your feet." Arin sung, knowing that 100s of aliens were watching him. "Dissolve me in your gaze. I don't want to let you go."
Last night, his alien took him to a bar. At that bar aliens tried to make him sing so he could entertain others, but he backed away. The aliens did not like that. One alien got so pissed, he took Arin by the neck and showed the missing poster for Sora. Arin was also pissed by this, and punched the alien. Aliens ended up restraining him. But he swore that Sora was out there somewhere. Trying to find him.
When all aliens were gone, Frak found Arin. Frak unrestrained Arin, and took him by the face, looking into his eyes.
"Even if your cold words carve scars beneath my eyes, may they linger on your tongue. You can break me apart." Frak sung, thinking of the fight he and Arin fought as kids. That fight, when Frak took apart the flower crown that Sora made for Arin. Arin trying to push Frak away and punch him. Frak won that day. In fact, he looked like he was having fun fighting Arin. But still, that day, Frak watched Arin draw. He drew flowers. Frak was a nice kid, well to the aliens only. He watched when Sora and Arin got into one of aliens tank.

That night when Arin and Frak were going to run away as kids. Arin ran back to the aliens, wanting to stay with Sora. Frak only ran with him to stay with Arin.
"Sick of these nights to come" Frak sung, when Arin was thinking of that night before the round. When Frak took some blood from the open scar that Arin had and licked it. And those nights that Arin had to use a air guitar cause he broke the real one.
"To this everlasting melody." Arin sung.
"Face to face, we dance." Frak sung.
"With our story, lost in forevers embrace." Arin sung as Frak had thrown down his mic and walked to Arin.
Frak kissed Arin. And he kept this kiss for a long time. Until he put his hands on Arin's neck, trying to get shot down. It worked for Sora, so it would work for him, right? Frak looked at the score, and watched his go down. He gave Arin one last kiss before Frak got shot by the left. They shot him one more time, before shooting him in the arm. He kept his hands on Arin's neck, before Frak's blood started dripping down his own neck. They shot him in the neck, giving him the final blow. His eyes softened, letting go of Arin's neck. Arin watched as Frak fell down, blood all over. The pool of blood coming from Frak's dead body as Arin could only watch. There was no people coming to save him or Frak. As lights dimmed, and rain poured harder Arin cried.
The next round was Arin V Jay. Kai and Cole watched that round, trying to call Nya and Sora. They couldn't do anything without Nya and Sora. Nya was out there, blood coming out her left. Sora was trying to stop the blood, as horns blew, saying that humans were in the area, and they were not nice.
