Second Life

It was a dark night on Mobius, and yet the streets of Mobotropolis were filled with people, all making their way to a stadium near the centre of the city. Thousands of people flooded the stadium, eagerly awaiting the show to start, backstage in a dressing room a purple echidna lit a cigarette and turned to a blue rabbit, “Everything ready?” he asked, the rabbit nodded, “We’re all set to go on as soon as he shows up.”
A few feet away, a grey bat, a dark brown prairie dog and a light brown deer were helping themselves to a gift basket filled with fruit and wine bottles, “It’s not so bad not being in the first number, we get to stay here and relax a little more.” said the deer, just then the doorway burst open and a brown hedgehog walked in, he was wearing nothing but black; black gloves, black pants, black boots and a black belt with a skull on it.
“About time you got here Val.” said the echidna, Val gave him a death glare, “Back off Adrian.” The echidna shrugged
“Now come on, we came here to play.” Val picked up a black a red guitar that was leaning against a wall and walked out of the room, followed closely by Adrian and the rabbit; Martin, and the prairie dog; Jian. As the group walked onto the stage the crowd cheered, the stadium walls shook as the masses cheered and shouted. Val walked over to the microphone at the front of the stage while Martin picked up a guitar lying next to another mic, Jian walked over to a keyboard standing a few feet away and Adrian sat down at a set of drums.
“What’s up?!” shouted Val, the crowd shouted and screamed louder, “Okay Jian, when you’re ready.”
Jian then began to play. After a few moments Adrian joined in and finally Martin and Val started playing, then Val began to sing.

In this farewell
There’s no blood
There’s no alibi
‘Cause I’ve drawn regret
From the truth
Of a thousand lies

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

Put to rest
What you thought of me
While I clean this slate
With the hands of uncertainty

So let mercy come
And wash away
What I’ve done

I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

For what I’ve done
I start again
And whatever pain may come
Today this ends
I’m forgiving what I’ve done!!!

I'll face myself
To cross out what i’ve become
Erase myself
And let go of what i’ve done

What I’ve done
Forgiving what I’ve done

As Val sung, his mind wandered back to how he had met his fellow band members.

Val marched down the deserted streets of Mobotropolis, observing all he saw, ‘This world should be no problem to destroy, everyone here is so weak I’ll barely have to try….still…what happens when my Lord takes over this world? I go back to being his slave, his soldier?….I deserve more then that…especially after I take over this world for him…’ he continued thinking to himself until his sensitive ears picked something up…something different…something good.
Val looked over and saw a club at the end of the road, he walked over and saw a poster in the doorway ‘Tonight Only: Rock Band Competition’ Intrigued, he walked in, as he entered Val saw dozens of people cheering and screaming, and up on the stage was the reason for their excitement, and the source of the noise Val heard; A group of Mobians were on the stage playing a gothic rock song, a purple echidna, a blue rabbit, a dark brown prairie dog, a grey bat and a light brown deer.
Val leaned against a wall and watched, ‘These mortals play this music and are worshipped by all others…interesting.’
After the show the band waited outside in an alleyway until the contest winner was announced.
As he echidna took a drink from a bottle of beer, Val leapt down from the rooftop and landed next to them, making the echidna drop the bottle, which smashed as it hit the pavement, “Who the Hell are you?” he shouted
Val smirked, showing his fangs, “My name is Val…Val the Hedgehog.”
“H…how..did you?” stammered the deer
“I’m superMobian.” Val said simply.
“Are you gonna kill us?” asked the prairie dog, terrified
“No…..all that you’ve ever dreamed of, I’m going to make yours.” Val stepped towards the group menacingly, “You, rabbit, give me your guitar.” the rabbit instantly threw his guitar to Val, who caught it and suddenly played a heavy metal riff, everyone’s eyes widened as Val played, “Dude, you’re amazing.” exclaimed the rabbit
Val smirked, “I’m also a singer…get the owner of this place to let you play once more with me as your singer and I guarantee you’ll win.”
“Uh…okay.” said the rabbit, the echidna suddenly jumped in, “No way, he’s after something, there’s no way we can trust him.”
“Oh shut up Adrian!” shouted the bat, “If he sings half as well as he plays then we need him, and I’m sure all he’s after is the same as what we want.”
The group walked into the club, Martin handed Val a spare guitar and they walked onto the stage where the manager of the club; a middle-aged badger, was standing, Val walked up to him and whispered something in his ear and suddenly he went rigid and stared out to the crowd, “Ladies and gentlemen, I have been told this band would like to play another song…so here they are; The Dark Ones.” The crowd cheered and Martin approached Val, “The Dark Ones?”
“What’s wrong with that?” Val replied
“Nothing, I like it.”
“Well then shut up and play….Animal I Have Become.”
“Uh…Okay.”
One by one the members began playing and Val played and sing, as he did, everyone in the room watched, mesmerised at his skill.

I can't escape this hell
So many times i've tried
But i'm still caged inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal, this animal

I can't escape myself
So many times i've lied
But there's still rage inside
Somebody get me through this nightmare
I can't control myself

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal

Somebody help me through this nightmare
I can't control myself
Somebody wake me from this nightmare
I can't escape this hell

This animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal, this animal

So what if you can see the darkest side of me?
No one will ever change this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal I have become
Help me believe it's not the real me
Somebody help me tame this animal
This animal I have become

After they finished, everyone screamed and cheered, Martin stepped forward, “Dude, you’re awesome, welcome to the band.”
From that moment on they were all together growing in fame and fortune until finally they were the most famous band on Mobius.
As Val’s mind was jerked back to the present and he finished singing the song, he looked out over the crowd, little did he know that high up on a skyscraper just outside the stadium was a white wolf with long black hair, watching him.
