The warm breeze of a summer night fills the air.
The stage lights flicker and beam a captivating red as a beautiful voice floats like a wave down the stadium
A scream of excitement and joy shocked the stadium and a chant came from the eager crowd
"WE LOVE YOU GREYSTONE!" Rocks the stadium but somebody's screaming louder than the rest a teenage boy with rough blond hair and a cut on his nose his Greystone T-shirt and keychain on his jeans are swinging in the wind
"ENCORE ENCORE GREY!" He shouts into the crowd hoping to gain her attention
"DO I HEAR AN ENCORE..?!" Called out Grey from the stadium's stage, suddenly a massive roar of cheers came from all directions "PLAY LAB-" the boy shouts out till a screech pierces his ear
"KURAI! STOP SLACKING OFF. WE WERE SENT HERE TO FIND THE AWAKENER! IF THEIR MELODY IS POWERFUL THEY COU-" Shouted an angry stern voice until it was interrupted
"Jeez calm down Hotaru! You know how much Grey means to me and you can just handle The Awakening all right by yourself so if you'd be so kind as to let me hear Labyrinth! You know it's my favourite song" smirks a joyful Kurai
"NO! WELL YES BUT NO!! YOUR MENT TO BE ALONGSIDE ME TO GET STRONGER NOT TO LISTEN TO UNINSPIRED TRASH.. NOW GET TO THE FOOD COURT OR I'LL TELL SHIKI!!" Screams the impatient Hotaru
Kurai lets out a laugh before mocking him "Oh no!! Not Shiki" He makes a fake scared face and gasps mockingly "You know Shiki he'd probably get drunk and sing along with me" He chuckles again imagining Shiki slurring the lyrics his giant frame towering over Kurai
"Fine.. I'll come but you owe me tickets to Grey's next gig okay!" Kurai glides through the crowd making his way to the food court where he meets up with Hotaru who's wearing a snazzy suit and tie "Oh wow Hotaru what you got another Lexlip meeting you're off to?"
He beams a bright silly smile just for Hotaru to point at his creased shirt
"Being invited to our compounds meeting is a privilege! And you should take better care of yourself Kurai your shirt is all creased and there's sauce stains on your trousers you're filthy!"
Kurai looks up and down at his trousers with comedically large eyes before shrugging and murmuring a "seems fine to me.."
Much to Hotaru's annoyance "What do you mean fin-" Just as Hotaru is about to berate Kurai a loud noise is heard from down the hall "We're too late" Hotaru shouts "KURAI LETS GO!" He screams as he runs down the hall a slower Kurai paces behind "HOLD UPP HOTARUU!!"

They arrive at the end of the hall and there's a man who's looking at his feet and he's stumbling in tune to his humming "Kurai stay back he could be dangerous" Calls out a commanding Hotaru as he crosses his left arms index over his thumb and places his right hand thumb in between "INSTRUMENT FIRE FLYS!"
Hotaru shouts and hundreds of small flys come out of his thumb surrounding him and pushing back Kurai he points his thumb directly at the the man and the flys rush to him
The man stands up and shoots a blast of an orange beam from his mouth that fries the flys but Hotaru dodges "KURAI HIDE HES SHOOTING UNCONTROLLED MELODY BLASTS ONE COULD EVAPORATE YOU!!" Screams a worried Hotaru as the man stumbles about humming a tune.
Hotaru grabs his thumb and slides it up his index finger before chanting "BEAT, FLYSWORD"
A sharp blade forms in his palm lit with a bright red Tip. Hotaru summons another batch of flies and sends them in countless directions straight to the man where they stab at his eyes blinding him.
The man shoots countless melody blasts one directed at Kurai but before he can react Hotaru dives on him to dodge the beam "KURAI! STAY BACK" Hotaru shouts with concern, The man screaches before blasting another shot Hotaru dodges each one before running and leaping into the air with flysword in hand he sends a group of flies to the man they sweep him off his feet before hotaru dives down from the sky going in for what looks like a stab to the neck but before kurai could blink he throws the blade up in the air and hit the man in the neck with the blunt side knocking him out.
He squats down and checks his inner right wrist a music note formed "KURAI! CALL SHIKI WE'VE GOT A STRONG AWAKENER HERE HE HAS POTENTIAL!" Kurai sprints over phone in hand making murmuring noises to Shiki over the phone before hanging up
"He said he'll be here in 40 He's finishing one of Ralpoon's Goons Hota" Kurai says as he pokes at the unconscious man's face
"Ralpoon still tries after hundreds of beatings... at least he has dedication.. and don't call me Hota, Kurai I'm your senior not your friend.. but I'm glad you're okay" He smirks a tiny bit
"Hey... Hotaru.. why did he have so much Melody when he's just after awakening is that an anomaly" Kurai studies the note on his wrist leaning over the unconscious man
"It's a lottery Kurai you see some people have a base load of melody energy that could power a nation for the rest of time and like.. well.. Your case some have well.. not so much.. But it's how you channel it and your instrument that's what really matters"
He picks up the body effortlessly slumps it over his shoulder and brings it to the exit of the stadium "Good work today Kurai you can stay at the concert I'll help Shiki with this guy.. have a nice night.." Hotaru waves before vanishing into the end of the hall "CYA HOTA!!!" Kurai shouts with joy before running back into the venue just in time for labyrinth.
Hotaru sighs "Hes a good kid" he murmers to himself before he lights up a cigarette and plops the body onto the side of the hall he takes a puff and blows out
"You said you quit" a mysterious voice growls from the dark corner before "Instrument knife prty!" is chanted and suddenly a screach is heard as Hotaru is pierced by 8 blades He coughs up a load of blood before falling to the floor "F-F-Feiticeira..?" Hotaru whimpers out before falling unconscious the mysterious shadow walks out and studies the body
"Hotaru's down now it's just Kurai, the weakest artist of history"
