Song Of Hope: Yeah, I'm a Freefonix fan now. This will probably be my only Freefonix story. But, it'll still be pretty awesome! R&R

BB, Freez, and mo were all working on the new song, with it being one that has BB's vocals only, no back-up vocals from Freez.

"If you wanna sing out
You don't have to ask
There's no prerequisite
For having a blast

"If you wanna just dance
Then I'll play a beat
Just go with the motions
Of your voice and your feet

"Just go and sing all of it out
Sing out all of your heart
And you'll know your rout
Go and get a vocal start
And you can change the world
Just see your song be unfurled"

Freez stopped playing. BB and Mo looked at him. BB seemed pretty confused.

"Something wrong Freez? You never stop in the middle of a song." He nodded, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Yeah, I'm alright, I'm just thinking, the song needs a little something. The lyrics are fine, but I'm thinking we need to add a little something," he turned to Mo, "why don't you try adding a little more bass sound in? Can you give me a little bass beat?" Mo nodded, hitting the Soundshaper, making some pretty awesome sounding bass chords.

"Yeah, I can, but I can't do that at the same time as doing to percussion and the keyboard part." Freez nodded.

"I see what you mean little dude. Can you play back the key part instead of playing it, just to see how it sounds with the bass?" He nodded.

"Sure, I can do that, but I can do it for only a little bit. Three parts might be a bit too much for my Soundshaper to handle for an extended period of time." Freez nodded.

"That's fine K-Tronic. I just wanna see how it sounds." He turned to BB. "Start up again!" She nodded.

"Okay then." She cleared her throat before bringing the mike up to her lips.

"If you wanna sing out
You don't have to ask
There's no prerequisite
For having a blast

"If you wanna just dance
Then I'll play a beat
Just go with the motions
Of your voice and your feet

"Just go and sing all of it out
Sing out all of your heart
And you'll know your rout
Go and get a vocal start
And you can change the world
Just see your song be unfurled"

Freez stopped playing again, smiling.

"That sounded so wix, it's beyond wix!" Mo nodded.

"Yeah, to bad I can only do it for a little bit. My Soundshaper's already starting to overheat, and we only got through half of the song." BB nodded.

"That really was a wix sound." She looked at Freez. "Where'd you come up with the idea of adding a little bass?" He shrugged.

"I don't know. I've just been thinking that we haven't had much bass sound in our music lately. It's really just been drums and keys, and I started thinking of a bass line in my head, and it went well with the song, so I thought 'why not' and decided to see the outcome!" Mo nodded.

"Well, your head was right, it seems to be just what the song needed." BB nodded.

"Too bad we can't do it though. Adding the bass only lets us get halfway through the song. We can't do all of "Sing it Out", so unless we want to cut the other half, we're gonna have to go without bass." Suddenly, Sugar Che came out of the speaker singing.

"You'll figure it out, no need to pout!" She stopped singing. "But your new song will have to wait a little longer. I've found a new Prodigy." Freez smiled as he put away Misty.

"Sweet! Any idea who he or she is?" Sugar nodded.

"I know exactly who she is! I heard her playing her guitar, and when I saw her, she was shredding it. But, when the pizza guy came, she stopped playing and didn't pick it up and play again for a long time. She sat at the window at waited until he actually left the building before picking it back up and playing again! She's got major stage fright, even worse than Shanty!" BB smiled.

"Well, that's not that bad." Sugar Che shook her head.

"It wouldn't be too bad if it weren't for the fact that she's a major rock fan, and not only that, but she really likes Mantyz. She was here the night that they first performed and fell in love with their sound, which makes things harder for us. If Mantyz finds her first, then she'll join them without a second thought." Mo nodded, holding out his Soundshaper.

"I can tap into the city databases if I have a good enough description of her. You saw her, right? What'd she look like?" Sugar tapped her chin.

"Let's see, she had a slim build, was about 5' 5", had short, side parted brown hair with purple streaks, sharp blue eyes, pale skin, and a tribal tattoo of some sort on her upper left arm. I think the pizza guy said her name was Razz when he was confirming he was at the right place." Mo smiled.

"Got it! Using the Los Bosmos security systems, mainly the cameras, I can track her location!" Sugar Che smiled.

"Good to know you guys can handle this. But, if I know her location, then Vox probably does too! Oh, and there's something else." She sang it out. "Those notes of her hers aren't all that pure." She stopped singing. "She has the potential to have pure 13th Note Powers, but for now, they're corrupt, just like Mantyz's note are, so she's not really much help to Vox now, but with training, she can get Vox out of his box, so make sure you get to her first! Sugar Che out!" She disappeared. BB put her mike back in its holster.

"Well, looks like we've got a mission." She turned to Mo. "Where is she?" He smiled.

"At the B-Board Park. She's just kinda standing there on her board without doing anything." Freez nodded.

"She must be really shy if she won't even B-Board in front of others. Come on. Let's find her before Vox gets a whiff of this!"

At ComaCo Headquarters

Kurtz, Lady Lux, and Hitt were playing a new song for Mya de Zya.

"We are awesome in the deepest sense
Cause all of our sound is just so intense!
We rock and we roll, we will always rule
We will never go down or loose our cool

"Think you can win against our power
Well we're a giant strong stone tower
There's no acid that can melt us down
Thinking that just means that you're a clown

"Go ahead and just try to stop us
But the Mantyz will take your head!
The only way to be saved is to join us
And be a giant fan of our band!

GO MANTYZ!"

Vox appeared from the mirror in her office.

"As irritating as your music is to me, it might be what gets me out of here, and I'm not talking about your corrupted Thirteenth Note Powers." They stopped playing to listen to Vox. "I've detected a new Prodigy, and she seems to be a Rocker, not a Freewaver. More than that, she's a Mantyz fan through and through." Kurtz pumped his fist in the air.

"Awesome! We have a fan!" Lady Lux rolled her eyes as she folded her arms over her chest.

"Then she must be brain dead if she likes your lyrics." Kurtz glared at her.

"What did you say?!" She glared at him, her hands crossed over her chest.

"You only write lyrics about yourself and the band! The only time you come up with anything good is in the middle of a Soundclash, and even then, the lyrics are still pretty terrible! We should sing one of my songs some time." Kurtz rolled his eyes.

"Please. You're lyrics are all PREPSY, just like that PREPSY PRINCESS BB!" She glared at him with a murderous look in her yes.

"SAY THAT AGAIN, AND I'LL RIP OFF YOUR HEAD WITH MY BASS!" Mya stood in between them.

"ENOUGH!" She glared at them. "I know you two are siblings, but you must quit acting like such children, or I'll nullify your contracts on the spot, and take away your pretty little apartment! Then you'll be out ON THE STREETS!" They stopped arguing. She turned to Vox. "Now Voxy, what do we need to know about this girl?" He nodded.

"She's called Razz. She plays an electric acoustic guitar called Adi, and she's slim and has short brown hair with purple streaks that's side parted, and blue eyes." Kurtz nodded.

"I think I've got a good idea of what she looks like." Lady Lux nodded.

"Now, where is she?"

"Last I heard her play, she was in the Los Bosmos Apartment Complex, but she could've left by now. But if I know about her, than Sugar Che does as well. She'll have told Freefonix, and if they get to her before you, then you'll surely loose" Mya looked excited.

"This new girl might be just what you need! You guys have been lacking a certain something, and if you can convince her to work with us, then you'll be able to beat Freefonix in a Soundclash since you'll have an upper hand with an extra member!" Kurtz's eyes widened.

"You want us to take on a new member?! We agree to get them to join you, but to get them to join the band, you must be crazy!" She nodded.

"Crazy enough to make you homeless if you fail this next mission." She held up Mantyz's contract. "Now, go and FIND THIS GIRL OR ELSE I WILL MAKE GOOD ON THIS THREAT!" Kurtz growled in frustration. Hitt looked confused.

"So, are we going or not?"

At the B-Board Park

A girl who was about 5' 5", had short, side parted brown hair with purple streaks, sharp blue eyes, pale skin, and a tribal tattoo of some sort on her upper left arm. She wore a black belly top with flashy green designs, black jeans with blue flames up the legs, flame Converse shoes, green goggles, and a purple collar with an arrow charm on it. She stood on her purple B-Board with a purple helmet underneath her arm, a bit nervous, and not wanting to draw attention to herself.

"Maybe I shouldn't be standing here on a B-Board if I'm not gonna actually do anything."

"LOOK OUT!" Suddenly, a girl with violet eyes, pale skin, and wearing a green camo midriff v-neck t-shirt with a white open vest, a white choker with a red cross pendant, a yellow helmet that covered all of her hair, pale brown (paler than beige) pants, and black boots, with a yellow B-Board on her feet, crashed into her. She was holding her head, and so was the other girl, who stood up after being crashed into.

"OW! That was a serious hit! What happened to your B-Board?!" The other girl stood up.

"I'm not sure." She took off her helmet, letting her curly blonde shoulder length layered hair fall out. "I think that there's something wrong with the Mind to B-Board program in my helmet." She looked back up at the girl, putting the helmet under her arm. "But still, I'm really sorry for crashing into you." She smiled awkwardly, as if not wanting to be talking to another human being as she messed around with her hands.

"Um, it's alright!" Then, the blonde girl noticed something about the girl in front of her.

"You play guitar or bass?" Her eyes widened.

"How do you know?!" She smiled and held out her hands.

"You have calluses like mine. But, they could be from various different instruments, but I doubt you're a classical instrument girl, so it wasn't something like a violin or anything, so it had to be either a guitar or a bass. I play bass myself. I'm Angel." She held out her hand for a handshake. The other girl took it and shook it nervously, unable to believe someone was talking to her.

"I'm Razz." Angel smiled.

"Nice to meet you Razz! So, you B-Board?" Razz nodded, still acting really shy.

"Yeah, but I don't think I'm very good. I've been trying to work up the guts to do something, but I'm just too nervous. I can't do anything in front of others." Angel kept the smile on her face, a reassuring and genuine one.

"Well, you're talking to a total stranger. That's gotta count for something. I'd say that talking to someone you just met, even if they crashed into you, has got to take courage of some sort." She stomped on her B-Board, making it flip up and into her other arm. "Well, I've gotta go house hunting, or maybe just apartment hunting. After that, I'm getting pizza at Aw'right Jacks, and you're welcome to join me. It'll be my treat. If not, then later." She walked off, making Razz feel very relieved.

"Finally, she's gone! I hate talking to new people!" She then thought of what Angel had said. "Pizza, huh? Maybe I should, but I don't think I could do that with a total stranger." Suddenly, she remembered something. "Oh no, I ordered pizza to go to my apartment! I should get home before the pizza guy gets there!" She put a purple helmet on and whizzed off, not even thinking that people were seeing her on her B-Board.

Mo, Freez, and BB stopped in the park. BB looked over at Mo, who was holding out his Soundshaper.

"Okay, we're here. Where is she?" She looked around. "I don't see Razz anywhere." Mo's eyes widened as he looked at her through the Soundshaper.

"Oh no! She's not here anymore! She already left!" Freez had a serious look on his face.

"Then we don't have any time to lose! Where is she now K-Tronic?" Mo looked at his Soundshaper.

"It looks like she's heading to the Los Bosmos Apartment Building Complex, one of the few places not owned by ComaCo. She mentioned something about pizza." BB looked a bit confused.

"That can't be right. Sugar said that she had ordered pizza and the delivery guy interrupted her jamming session. That had to have been earlier today, so why would she order pizza again?" Freez had a look on his face.

"Time flows differently in the Realm of the Thirteenth Note. Sugar Che might've felt Razz's power later on today, but came to us before it actually happened." Mo nodded.

"It happened before. Remember when Sugar Che felt the music of a Prodigy, and then they didn't actually show up for a month?" BB nodded.

"Yeah, you guys are probably right. So then, let's head over to the Apartment Complex. Hopefully, we'll get to her before Mantyz can!"

At The Los Bosmos Apartment Complex

Razz was looking out the window, waiting for the pizza guy to leave. She opened the box and pulled out a slice of pepperoni pizza, eating it before picking up a pearlescent purple guitar with green arrows on it and playing it. She closed her eyes, and didn't notice that the strings were glowing blue. She started singing quietly to herself.

"You will never be strong enough
You will never be good enough
You were never conceived in love
You will not rise above

"They'll never see
I'll never be
I'll struggle on and on
To feed this hunger
Burning deep inside of me"

Suddenly, someone knocked on her door. She immediately stopped playing, not wanting anyone to hear her play. She quickly put her guitar down and opened the door, shocked at who she saw standing there.

"Oh my god, you guys are-" One of the three people at the door cut her off.

"That's right, we are Mantyz!" Kurtz came in without being invited. "Nice apartment, but you could do way better!" Lady Lux nodded.

"Our place is so much nicer, but I guess this is okay for a nobody." Hitt nodded.

"Yeah it is. Wait, aren't we supposed to be nice to her and not call her things like a nobody?" Razz looked really confused.

"But, why are you guys here, and why are you supposed to be nice to me?" Kurtz gave her a devilish smile.

"We're here because we're looking for a new band member, and we've decided that it has to be you." She blushed and looked really shocked.

"Me? But, I've never played in front of anyone before, not even my parents! How would you know what I sound like?!" Kurtz's smile didn't go away, merely transforming into a smirk instead.

"We were listening while you played. That was "Lies" by Evanescence, right? A really old time rock band, and I correct?" She just couldn't get rid of her look of shock.

"You were, you were listening?" Lady Lux nodded, folding her arms over her chest.

"We had to know if you were actually any good before we asked you to join the band." Hitt looked confused.

"I thought that Vox said she was a Prodigy, and that's the whole reason why we're here." Razz looked more confused than surprised.

"Prodigy? Prodigy of what?" Kurtz gave her a flirtatious smile.

"Of the Thirteenth Note baby!" She blushed at the way he spoke to her, but forced it away and looked him straight in the eyes.

"There is no Thirteenth Note. There are only twelve in music, C, C Sharp, D, D Sharp, E, F, F Sharp, G, G Sharp, A, A Sharp, and B, or C, B, B Flat, A, A Flat, G, G Flat, F, E, E Flat, D, and D Flat if you wanna go with the flats scale rather than the sharp scale. There's no room for a Thirteenth Note." Hitt smiled.

"That's because it's magic." Kurtz glared at him.

"Shut up! You're only confusing her more!" He turned back and smiled. "If you come with us, then we'll explain everything." She looked unsure.

"I don't know. I hate playing in front of other people, and you guys, even though you're amazing musicians, you guys seem kinda crazy." Lady Lux smiled at her in her Lady Lux way.

"You don't have to join the band if you don't want to, but come with us, and we can make you rich, not to mention, powerful." She looked interested, but still a bit confused.

"Powerful?" Hitt nodded.

"You're a Prodigy of the Thirteenth Note! You've got powers!" She shook her head.

"There is no such thing as a Thirteenth Note! I'll repeat the music scale if I have too!" Kurtz smirked.

"I guess there's only one way to show you then." He pulled out Axe, while Lady Lux and Hitt got out their instruments. They hit a chord that shattered the windows in her apartment. She looked dumbfounded.

"My, my apartment. It's ruined." Lady Lux smirked as she put away her bass.

"Come with us, and the damage will not only get paid for, but you'll get a brand new apartment with more space than you know what to do with!" She glared at Lady Luz, her shyness gone and anger being the only thing left.

"Fine, but only because I'm not paying for damage I didn't cause." Kurtz smiled.

"So, we're all good to go, right?" Razz crossed her arms over her chest.

"Yeah, I guess." He smirked.

"Great. Then you can ride with me! And bring your electric acoustic guitar, Adi."

Outside

Freez, Mo, and BB saw Razz on the back of Kurtz's bike, with Lady Lux and Hitt with them, speeding off towards ComaCo. Freez pulled out Misty.

"Looks like they got here first!" BB pulled out her mike.

"Then we're just gonna have to catch up! SOUNDCLASH!" Kurtz looked back at them and rolled his eyes.

"Oh great, it's Freakfonix!" He pressed a button on his bike. "Looks like we're gonna have to go on autopilot!" She pulled out Axe and turned towards them as the world changed. Lady Lux and Hitt were ready as well. Mo had put his scooter on autopilot and has his feet clasped in, so he got out his Soundshaper. Razz looked really confused.

"What the hell is going on?!" Kurtz gave her a flirtatious smile.

"A Soundclash! Watch me and Axe kick Freefonix butt!" He turned towards them, putting his bike in reverse.

"We are awesome in the deepest sense
Cause all of our sound is just so intense!"

Kurtz's note from his guitar launched at BB, nearly knocking her off of her board, but she managed to dodge. She sent a screech at him, but his bike's avoidance program dodged it.

"We rock and we roll, we will always rule
We will never go down or loose our cool"

Lady Lux's bass sent a string of her triangular trap at Freez, but he played a wix chord of Misty, and used Misty's green tendrils to pull off the trap. He smiled as Lady Lux glared at him.

"Think you can win against our power
Well we're a giant strong stone tower
There's no acid that can melt us down
Thinking that just means that you're a clown"

Hitt hit his drums and made the whole ground shake, nearly throwing Freefonix off of their B-Boards/Scooters, but Mo threw up his sound bubble and they stabilized. BB put the mike up to her mouth.

"If you wanna sing out
You don't have to ask
There's no prerequisite
For having a blast"

The words flew out of BB's mouth and hit Lady Lux, sending her flying from her bike. She landed on Hitt's bike instead. Freez turned towards BB.

"Remember, don't hit Kurtz! We don't wanna hurt Razz!" Razz freaked out.

"Why does everyone know my name?!" BB smiled.

"We'll explain later!" She brought the mike up to her mouth again.

"If you wanna just dance
Then I'll play a beat
Just go with the motions
Of your voice and your feet"

Kurtz turned to Razz while attacking Freez with his guitar notes.

"You've got to play with us! We're gonna loose!" Razz shook her head.

"I don't even know what's going on!" He took in a deep breath.

"We're in a Soundclash, which means we're fighting. Right now, they want to stop you from getting to Mya de Zya, our boss, so that way you won't join us. They think we're evil, but we're under a contract, and we've got no choice. Plus, we're only doing this because we'll be rich and famous after we free Vox!" She held her hands up and waved them.

"Slow down! Who's Vox?" He rolled his eyes.

"If you play just a single chord, then I'll tell you who Vox is!" She took out Adi, a bit nervous.

"Alright then." She strummed her fingers, and a pinkish purple wave came out, hitting Misty, who looked like she was short-circuiting. Freez was freaking out.

"AH! Misty! What's wrong girl?!" He tried to play a chord, but it didn't work. "Misty!" Razz looked surprised as she looked at Misty, then Adi, and then Misty again, repeating this several times.

"I did that?" Kurtz nodded.

"Yeah, and if you do more like that, then you can do awesome things, but you've got to stick with us!" She smiled evilly.

"I think I like this. And somehow, I don't feel nervous anymore." Kurtz smiled evilly.

"Then play that chord again at the Prepsy Princess over there, the one with the white and pink hair!" She gleefully did it, and BB's mike started shorting out.

"My mike won't work!" Mo sent several attacks at them, but Razz just played that chord, and Mo's Soundshaper was out of commission. Kurtz looked at her in pride and slight admiration.

"Perhaps Mya asking you to join the band wasn't such a bad idea after all." He turned the bike around and started going forward, the same direction it had been going, as he put Axe back. Razz nodded as she put Adi back and put her arms around Kurtz's waist to keep herself from falling off as the world changed back to normal.

"I don't feel nervous or shy anymore, and only after playing three chords. I can't think of why though." Kurtz smiled.

"Because, you're a part of Mantyz now, and you've embraced your Thirteenth Note Powers!" She rolled her eyes.

"I still don't believe in such thing as a Thirteenth Note. You're gonna have to have that Vox guy explain it." They raced off, with Lady Lux back on her bike, heading to ComaCo. BB shook her mike.

"We lost! And now our instruments don't work!" Freez was just about in tears.

"Don't worry Misty baby! Daddy's gonna figure out what's wrong with you, and he'll fix it!"

"She ain't broke child." Mo looked at the billboard sign.

"Sugar Che!" She smiled down at Freez.

"Don't worry about her Freez. I figured out what Razz's Sonic Powers are, and that's what caused Misty to not work. She can rip the Sonic Core out an instrument, and that's a power that truly corrupts even the purest soul." BB looked confused.

"The Sonic Core?" Sugar Che nodded.

"The Sonic Core is like the soul of an instrument, what lets it make the sound it makes. Without it, the instrument won't play one note! It's not gone, but it is taken out, and the soul of your instruments are still in this area, hopefully, but I can't put them back, and neither can any of you, at least not without your ability to use your instruments. There's only one person who can do that."

"I thought I left Misty in good hands, but it seems as if you can't take care of her." Freez turned around and looked a bit worried.

"Carlos!" Carlos walked over to them.

"You really let Misty down, didn't you?" Freez looked really worried.

"Yeah, I did, but I swear, I won't let her down again! I promise! Just please don't take Misty away!" Carlos laughed.

"I could not take her even if I wanted to, which I am very tempted to do right now. She chose you, and I cannot take her away from the one she chose, otherwise that would hurt her. But I can fix her." He pulled out his own guitar and played a special chord. The red energy went from his guitar to Misty, BB's mike, and Mo's Soundshaper. It disappeared as soon as he stopped playing. He smiled. "Now, try playing Misty again." Freez played some wix chords on her. He smiled.

"Thanks Carlos!" Carlos had a serious look on his face.

"You must be more careful from now on. If those chords hit you, I might not be able to fix Misty again," he turned towards BB and Mo, "or your microphone and your Soundshaper. Her powers are really strong." He gave BB a very serious look. "You are lucky that it was just your microphone though. If it had been your voice itself, where your real power comes from, you could have lost your voice, forever." Her hand flew up to her throat.

"Forever?" Sugar Che nodded.

"That's why it's time to open up the band to new people!" Their eyes all widened.

"What?!" Sugar nodded.

"It's the only way. If they've got four people, then they'll have a huge advantage over you guys, especially if that person is as strong as Razz! None of the guardians we've trained so far are strong enough, and none of the Sonic Lords have enough time to do it either! They've got other things to worry about!" Carlos nodded.

"I, in fact, have to go to Mexico right now. There seems to be a Thirteenth Note dimensional hole leading to another universe that only I can close. I only took time away from that because Misty is my most treasured guitar that I made. Adios amigos." He disappeared. Freez gave Sugar a serious look.

"So, we need a new member?" she nodded.

"I really don't want it to go that way, but it seems that's what it's gonna have to be. And none of the other Guardians we have right now will be able to work. None of them are anywhere near as strong as Razz, and some of them, like Shanty or Scoop Z, could loose their voices forever, and that's a risk we can't take." Mo looked at BB and Freez before looking at Sugar Che.

"So, how are we gonna find a new member if it's not from the existing guardians?" Sugar Che sighed.

"I'm not sure, but you're gonna have to try. I can tell you this though. With every Sonic Power, there's someone who's equally as strong. You've just gotta find the yomie that's as strong as Razz, and it'll all balance out, letting you guys be stronger than Mantyz again." BB nodded.

"Then, it's time to hunt down our newest band member."

At ComaCo Headquarters

Mya stood in front of Mantyz, plus Razz, with Vox in Mya's mirror. Mya was holding a piece of paper, and Razz had a finger on her chin.

"Let me get this straight. I have a power called Thirteenth Note Power, more specifically, Sonic Coring, and if I sign that piece of paper, I'll be trained to turn what's a corrupted power into a pure power, free Vox, and then I'll become a famous rock star as well as become a member of Mantyz, and I'll be rich beyond my wildest dreams, as well as famous?" Mya nodded.

"Yep, that's all there is to it." Razz looked at Vox.

"Did I miss anything on your end?" Vox shook his head.

"Nope, you've pretty much got it." She had a devilish grin on her face.

"You've got yourself a deal." She signed the paper. Mya took it and laughed evilly.

"You are officially a part of ComaCo records, and a part of Mantyz. Congratulations Razz!" Razz nodded.

"It's a pleasure to be here now that my stage fright's gone." Kurtz smirked.

"And now, with a fourth member of the band, we'll totally destroy Freakfonix!" They all laughed evilly.

Song Of Hope: Yep. I know there have been Freefonix fics before, two of them, but I'm proud to be the first person to put one in the Freefonix category! R&R
