Song Of Hope: Chapter 2 for Freefonix Full Band! I forgot to let people know that Razz is the property of Silvolf, not me. WARNING! This chapter may offend Christians and non-Christians! This chapter also contains names given to characters who have not really been given a name, only a nickname. R&R
Mo, BB, and Freez were sitting in the O, trying to figure out a way to get a new member. BB smiled with an idea.
"I've got it! We can hold open auditions! We'll experience their power and their sound first hand!" Freez shook his head.
"That's leaves everyone there open to a Mantyz attack. We can't risk other people. Plus, the other Guardians will probably want to audition, and it's just be too hard for me to say no." Mo nodded.
"Me too." BB nodded.
"Yeah, I guess you guys are right." She stood up. "Well, I can't think well on an empty stomach, and Freez is out of Choco Dacos. Why don't we head to Aw'right Jack's and get some pies and fries?" Freez nodded.
"Sure, why not?" Mo nodded.
"I got my allowance today anyway. Pies and fries is the perfect way to spend it." BB shook her head.
"Nope, it's my treat. Come on." Freez and Mo got up, and they started heading out.
At Aw'right Jack's
BB, Mo, and Freez were sitting at a table, eating their pies, when suddenly, Angel started flying at them on her B-Board. This time, she had a yellow base where the body looked like it was made from a yellow angel wing on her back, held on by a black strap.
"LOOK OUT!" They looked up and just barely jumped away from the table before she crashed into it. The pies went everywhere, and the table flipped over. Her B-Board flew away, and she landed on her butt, rubbing her head with her yellow helmet still on. "Ouch!" Freez went over to help her up.
"You alright?" He held out his hand. She nodded, accepting his hand as she stood up.
"Yeah, I'm fine. Thanks for helping me out. I'm Angel." Freez smiled.
"I'm Freezbone, but everybody just calls me Freez. This is BB, or Beebs/Beebster." BB smiled at her.
"Hi."
"And then that's Mo, but I call him little cuz and K-Tronic." Mo smiled and gave a half wave.
"Sup?" She smiled.
"Nice to meet you guys. I just wish it wasn't from a crash landing. There's just something wrong with my B-Board. I though I got it fixed yesterday, but I guess not." Mo looked at the B-Board as he picked it up.
"This model is ancient! It belongs in a museum!" She laughed and nodded.
"You're not the only one who's said that. People say that all the time about Max." BB looked confused.
"Max? Is that, like, your grandpa or something?" She shook her head, an amused smile on her face.
"No, it's my bass guitar, the one on my back right now. It's a really old type." Freez's eyes filled with interest as Mo went to examining the B-Board.
"You play?" She nodded.
"Yeah, but it's a really old one. It's all wood instead of just partially wood and mostly holographic, like most guitars now. In fact, the only things not wood are the strings, the pick-ups, and the normally metal parts of the bridge." Freez nodded, his hand on his chin.
"Think you could play something for us?" She looked confused.
"Why?" BB smiled.
"We're musicians too! We love hearing other musicians play!" She shrugged.
"Okay then. Why not?" She spun her base around from behind her back and to the front so she could play. "It won't hurt anything." She started playing a song that had some pretty heavy stuff. BB and Freez both looked impressed by the time she was done. Freez smiled.
"That was so wix! You're really good! That's a lot like the sound in our band!" She smiled as she spun her bass back to being behind her back.
"Thanks. I've been playing for a really long time." Mo tapped her shoulder.
"Could I see your helmet please?" She looked a bit surprised and confused.
"Oh, um, sure." She took it off her head, revealing her curly, layered blonde hair. Moo took it and started examining it, quickly fixing the problem.
"Got it!" He handed her the yellow B-Board and her yellow helmet. "There was an error with the Mind the B-Board chip. It had a tiny crack in it, but I managed to fix it! It should work perfectly now!" She smiled as she put on her helmet, tucking her hair into it.
"Thanks Mo!" She jumped on her B-Board. "I gotta go. I'm still looking for a 'crib' of my own. Later." She flew off. Freez looked excited.
"Hey, do you think Angel might be the fourth member that we need." BB looked a bit shocked.
"What makes you say that?" He shrugged.
"I'm not sure, but it just feels right. We did agree that we needed more bass sound in our music. We should at least see is Angel is meant to be our fourth member."
"I don't think that's gonna happen yomies." They all looked at a far off billboard.
"Sugar!" They all ran over to the billboard with Sugar Che on it. Freez looked a bit confused.
"Why can't Angel be in Freefonix?" Sugar moved her arms back in forth in a rhythmic way as she sang her reply.
"Cause she ain't got the heart for our cause since she's got a heart for God." She stopped singing. "Did you notice that song that she was singing? It was a really old song called "Praise you In This Storm" by a band named Casting Crowns. She was also wearing a red cross pendant, which it a huge sign!" They all still looked confused. Sugar Che looked rather annoyed. "Haven't any of you ever heard of a Christian?" Mo looked confused.
"What's a Christian?" BB turned to Mo.
"I'll tell you. A Christian is a person who believes in Christianity, one of the really old religions. It's one of the few ones that's still pretty strong. Most of them faded into nothing, and only a few of them are still around anymore, one of them being Christianity. I had a Christian in my old school, and she was not nice." Mo nodded.
"Oh, okay! I think I've got it. But what does that have to do with anything?" Sugar Che had a look like it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Christians believe in one God, and that he's the most powerful being in the universe. He can do anything and everything he wants, but he only wants what's good. He hates sin, which is basically evil, and sin is the opposite of Himself, so people who commit them all get the same punishment after they die unless they repent and believe in Him, as well as His Son, and in the Holy Spirit. Together, they're the Trinity, one in three, three in one." Freez made a face.
"But Christianity can't be right. From what I know, it would completely rule out Sonic Lords, and the Thirteenth Note." Sugar sighed.
"That's right. She'd never embrace her powers if she had any, and would never be able to fully be a part of Freefonix." BB smiled.
"Well, all we have to do is prove to her that Christianity's wrong." Sugar shook her head.
"That's just the thing. It ain't wrong." Mo looked pretty confused.
"I know you're trying to make things clearer, but really, it's just making things more confusing." She sighed.
"Look, you guys are already aware that there are other dimensions in our universe, right?" They all nodded. "Well then, wouldn't the next step of thinking be that there's other universes as well? Her God is real, in another universe, and He's so powerful that He can affect every universe in existence, and He does. See, in other universe, what happens after death is different, and even though He didn't create those universes, they're so much like his own creations, that He cares for them too, and wants them to go to Heaven, which is the perfect paradise, so He goes where His nose don't belong, even though He only interferes in the perfect way, which is gonna be too hard to explain right now. So, for people who believe in Him, they only accept the truth of the universe He created, and not the truth of their own universe." Freez nodded.
"Okay, now that makes a lot of sense. But, what if we told Angel all of that?" Sugar Che shook her head.
"She wouldn't believe it. Christians are a stubborn people." From Afar, Mantyz, including Razz, were looking on at their conversation as BB spoke up.
"Well, maybe we should at least give her a try. She might believe what we're talking about." Sugar Che shrugged.
"I don't know if you're ever gonna see her again. Besides, I didn't even sense any Thirteenth Note Power coming from her, so unless it's being suppressed by something, she don't have any Sonic Powers." Freez shrugged.
"Okay then. Looks like we're still on the hunt for a fourth member then." His helmet and B-Board appeared. Sugar Che nodded.
"And you've gotta fine them fast. Who knows when Vox is gonna strike next? Sugar Che out!" She disappeared off of the billboard. BB's helmet and board appeared.
"Well, let's go then. Maybe we'll find someone at the B-Board Park. That's where we almost found Razz." Mo nodded as he got his helmet and scooter out.
"Then let's go!" They zoomed off. Kurtz smiled at the conversation he had just heard.
"So, they think that they can find a fourth member?" Razz looked a bit worried.
"What if they do? They'll be stronger than us." Lady Lux gave her a look.
"They'll never find anyone who would be strong enough. People can only be oh so strong, and I'm pretty sure you've hit the limit." She nodded, smiling.
"Thanks for that." Kurtz smirked.
"If we go to the B-Boarding Park and utterly humiliate them, then they'll never be able to recover, not to mention, I don't think their instruments would be able to withstand another Sonic Coring. Once we do that, then they'll never be able to play against us again, and we'll be able to utterly destroy them!" Hitt nodded.
"Can we get some pies and fries first?" Kurtz nodded.
"Sounds good to me." Lady Lux rolled her eyes.
"You men and your food." Razz looked a bit sheepish.
"Actually, I'm hungry too." Lady Lux groaned.
"Oh, fine! We'll get your stupid pies and fries!" Kurtz, Hitt, and Razz all high-fived each other. Lady Lux rolled her eyes.
At the B-Board Park
They all did awesome tricks while they were also looking for someone to ask to play for them. Freez called over to BB as he flipped over her head.
"I'm not seeing anyone." BB nodded as she jumped of her board, let it flip five times, and then landing back on it perfectly.
"I'm not hearing anyone humming or singing that could potentially have Sonic Powers." Mo flipped his scooter over his head before getting it back underneath himself.
"And I'm not hearing or seeing anything either. This is starting to become pointless." Freez though of something.
"Why don't we ask two Guardians to join instead of searching for just one person? We could probably ask Nigel and Coda. That way, Coda can do the keys, Nigel can do bass, and K-Tronic can just so the drums instead of drums and keys." BB shook her head.
"I don't think that'd work. They might not be strong enough against Razz. Plus, it's be best if they could counter Razz's powers, which no one probably can, but if they could, then that'd be great."
"Look, it's Freakfonix!" They stopped their boards as they turned and saw their enemies. BB glared at them intensely.
"Mantyz!" Kurtz nodded, getting off his bike, with Razz on the back of it, getting herself off.
"That's right BB! We're here to have a little fun!" He pulled out Axe. "SOUNDCLASH!"
Mantyz VS Freefonix
Freez looked worried.
"We won't be able to win against them without a fourth member!" Mo got out his Soundshaper.
"We've gotta try! We can't just give up!" The world around them changed, and everyone without Sonic Powers disappeared. Razz pulled out Adi and Hitt got out his drums and as Lady Lux got out her bass. Freez got out Misty as BB grabbed her mike. Kurtz started singing.
"I spy with my little eye, into a woodland, the forest that Mya sieged
Set fire to the picture in my mind, bid farewell to your precious trees!
Goodbye! Feeble saplings! No more leaves and bark! Be gone!
Hear the thunder that Mantyz brings with a magical Prepsy Land theme park!
Their attacks came quickly at them, but Mo threw up his sound bubble. Razz's attacks were the strongest, making cracks appear. He gave BB and Freez a worried look.
"I can't hold this for much longer!"
We are Mantyz! We will have our day! Diabolical, in a good way!
(This noise destroys and you're messing with the)
Bad boys! (These guitars are not toys!)
(This noise destroys and you're messing with the)
Bad boys, bad booooooys!
BB glared at Mantyz as she brought the mike up to her mouth.
"You may know as a letter out of BCD
Just an itty-bitty girl who is so prepsy
Like the cover of a book you never choose to read
I'm not just that, there's more to me"
Razz's notes were coming harder and harder as Mo's bubble tried to stand up to the onslaught of attacks. Freez tried catching them in Misty's green tendrils, but it seemed that where they got caught, her tendrils disappeared, gaining a lot of holes. BB started singing louder.
"So let me be the one to introduce to you
Freezbone, Mostart, say hello to my crew
We've got beats and bass and lots of brave
There's nothing you can do to stop the Freewave"
Far Away
Angel was riding her B-Board, glad that it was working, but still upset.
"I can't believe that no one will take my creddies for an apartment! Stupid Mya de Zya! It's all her fault! Everybody's just so afraid of her, they won't do anything for me because…" She trailed off of her sentence, surprised as the world changed around her. "What's going on?" Suddenly, she noticed people disappearing. "What the heck is going on?!" Suddenly, she was the only person left. She was freaking out. "Where is everybody going?!" She put her hand on her pendant. "God, protect me from whatever's going on! Please!" Suddenly, she noticed flashes of light in the distance. "I'll take that as my answer God!" She hurried over to where the location was.
Far Away
BB was desperately trying to sing and keep Razz's powers back, as well as the rest of Mantyz's attacks, but the cracks were starting to get really big in Mo's Sound Bubble.
"I've got yomies by my side
And we've arrived
Angel stopped her B-Board, amazed at the scene in front of her, not believing what she was seeing at all.
"What in Heaven and Earth is this?!" BB didn't notice Angel as she started singing the chorus.
"So you say you want it (Whoa)
So come on and get it (Yeah)
We've got more game going
Than you've ever got
Freez noticed Angel, but so did Kurtz. He smirked and started sending attacks at her. She screamed and brought her hands out to dodge.
"Angel!" Freez jumped out of the safety of Mo's bubble and started playing Misty, using the green tendrils to catch Kurtz's notes.
"When we come together (Whoa)
You'd better run for cover (Yeah)
We've got more game going
So what if you're ready or not
Angel gave Freez a freaked out look.
"What's going on?!" Freez looked back at her.
"I'll try and explain later!" He tried to keep the attacks back. Angel glared at him.
"Explanation, NOW!" BB tried to ignore them so that she could keep the rest of Mantyz back.
"Let me come and hit you up with our sonics
It's gonna break the name of Freefonix!"
Razz smirked as she turned.
"Maybe Freez should've stayed in his bubble!" She started sending attacks at him, and he kept trying to dodge them while trying to protect Angel at the same time, who was still freaking out and demanding an explanation.
"Freez, what's going on?!" He took in a deep breath to explain, but that instance of distraction gave Razz a chance to attack him with her sonic attack, thus making Misty useless, and making Freez fall down, his eyes closed. Angel freaked out. "Freez?! Freez!" She got down on the ground, concerned for him, while BB and Mo could do nothing without something happening to them. Kurtz laughed.
"It looks like when you tear the Sonic Core from a person, you tear out their soul too! Freez is a bag of bones now!" Angel looked up at Kurtz and glared with a burning hatred in her eyes was she flipped her bass over her shoulder and started playing from instinct, a yellow aura surrounding her. BB picked up on it and started singing with it, somehow recognizing the song.
"I'm just a step away
I'm just a breath away
Losin' my faith today
(We're falling from the edge today)"
As Angel played, her aura grew brighter. A circle appeared on the ground, going towards Freez and Misty. As they were fully incased in the circle, they glowed yellow.
"I am just a man
Not super human
(I'm not superhuman)
Someone save me from the hate"
Freez's eyes started to flutter open. He sat up.
"What happened?" he turned and saw Angel, then smiled. "Looks like you're a Guardian now!" He picked up Misty and started playing along with her sound, singing back-up with BB.
"It's just another war
Just another family torn
(Falling from my faith today)
Just a step from the edge
Just another day in the world we live!"
Angel, still not realizing what she was doing, aimed her bass at Kurtz and Razz.
"I need a hero (hero)
To save me now!
I need a hero (save me now)"
Angel's bass was starting to send out little waves, but soon started sending out attacks similar to those of the symbol typically used to picture radio waves. The attacks sent Razz and Kurtz flying.
"I need a hero
To save my life
A hero will save me
(Just in time!)"
Lady Lux tried to send an attack while Angel was occupied, but BB screamed in her mike, knocking Lady Lux over.
"I've gotta fight today
To live another day
Speaking my mind today
(My voice will be heard today)"
Hitt tried to knock her over with his attacks, but her attack sent it right back at him, making Hitt go flying. Angel kept singing, even though the world was changing back to normal.
"I've gotta make a stand
But I am just a man
(I'm not superhuman)
My voice will be heard today!"
People were starting to gather around as Angel performed with Freefonix.
"It's just another war
Just another family torn
(My voice will be heard today)
It's just another kill
The countdown begins to destroy ourselves
I need a hero (hero)
To save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero
To save my life
A hero will save me
(Just in time)"
Kurtz sat up, very confused.
"What just happened? And why are they still playing even though they've already won the Soundclash?" Lady Lux shrugged as she stood up.
"Probably because the new girl is liking the lime light. Let's get out of here." Hitt looked confused.
"So, will someone explain to me what just happened?"
"Who's gonna fight for what's right
Who's gonna help us survive
We're in the fight of our lives
(And we're not ready to die)
"Who's gonna fight for the weak
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I've got a hero (I've got a hero)
Livin' in me
"I'm gonna fight for what's right
Today I'm speaking my mind
And if it kills me tonight
(I will be ready to die)
"A hero's not afraid to give his life
A hero's gonna save me just in time"
Angel somewhat realized what she was doing and looked horrified with herself, but kept playing for the sake of the song.
"I need a hero (hero)
To save me now
I need a hero (save me now)
I need a hero
To save my life
A hero will save me
(Just in time)
I need a hero
(Who's gonna fight for what's right)
(Who's gonna help us survive)
I need a hero
(Who's gonna fight for the weak)
Who's gonna make 'em believe
I need a hero
I need a hero!
A hero's gonna save me just in time!"
As the song came to an end, everybody clapped and cheered. Angel looked at herself and her bass, a look of amazement and horror at the same time on her face. BB, Mo, and Freez out away their instruments while Freez smiled at her.
"That was totally wix Angel! Looks like you're a bona fide Guardian now!" She looked up at him, her face scared and angry, like she was looking at demons.
"This isn't natural! There's no way any of that could've been real!" Freez looked concerned.
"I know it's a lot to process, but when we get Sugar Che, she can explain everything." Angel shook her head.
"No! I don't want an explanation! This is crazy!" She nodded. "Yeah, that's it, I'm going crazy!" They looked at each other, then BB looked at Angel.
"Uh, I think you don't understand what just happened." BB started holding out her hand in a helping gesture, but Angel took a step back.
"No! Stay away from me! This isn't real! It can't be!" She ran off. Sugar Che appeared in front of them.
"I told you she'd take it all the wrong way." Mo nodded.
"Yeah, but who knew that she would be there? Only people with Sonic Powers can enter a Soundclash, and only people involved with the situation can be around in a Soundclash, like how Mya and Aw'right Jack were involved with the phone, so they were there. The only way she could've been around is if she has Sonic Powers, and you said she didn't have any." Sugar Che nodded.
"I thought so to, but I think the Big Guy upstairs was blocking it. He probably didn't want one of His people to get involved in something that's none of their business, but when she was in danger, well, He let it free so she could protect herself." Mo raised an eyebrow.
"That is one confusing guy." Sugar Che nodded.
"That He is. You should probably send up a Search Tag." BB looked confused.
"Okay, I know I might sound dumb for saying this, but what's a Search Tag?" Freez had a very serious look on his face.
"A Search Tag is something you use when a Freewaver has gone missing, or when they've run off in a funky state of mind like Angel did just a little bit ago. Freewavers gather in one place, and the people who sent it up explain the situation. You can request specific people by putting another tag and certain Freewavers' tags up with it. Without that second tag and the tags of other Freewavers, it's open to everyone." Sugar Che nodded.
"And I want you guys to do it for just the Guardians. I trust the Freewavers, but I think only a Guardian could truly help Angel in this situation. Put up every Guardians Tag, even Flap's, and I don't even know where that cat is! Last I checked though, he wasn't in Los Bosmos, but since the situation's so bad, we're gonna need him if he is here." She started singing. "If Mya finds her first, with a good explanation, we will lose her to the Prepsy nation!" She stopped singing. "Sugar out!" She disappeared. Freez looked grim.
"We'd better put the Tag up at the Bounce. Every Freewaver knows how to get there no matter where they are in Los Bosmos."
At ComaCo Headquarters
Mantyz came into Mya's office, with Mya not looking very happy.
"I didn't send you out on a mission, and yet you still managed to fail." Kurtz had an exasperated look on his face.
"It wasn't our fault! We were blindsided by this random girl who came in during the Soundclash!" Vox nodded.
"I sensed the powers of a Prodigy unlock, but it was different this time. It seemed as if it was building and building, until it suddenly unlocked on its own. Or, someone else unlocked it, and there's only one person with that power. It doesn't matter now, all that matters is that she is inherently good. Because you fools decided to fight today, she happened upon the battle, and for her own safety, her powers were unlocked, powers that rival Razz's, and shift the balance back into Freefonix's favor if she joins them. And, because her heart is true, none of our tricks will work on her, and she won't join us no matter what the offer! YOU FOOLS!" Mya gave him the smile she always gave when she wanted or needed something.
"Voxy, darling, I'm sure that there's something that she wants. Everyone can be bought if the price is right." Vox shook his head.
"Not this girl. There are many people in the world who can't be bought and these idiots just happened to find one of those people with Sonic Powers! Now, my path out of the Void of Silencia won't be as easy as it could have been, and it's all your fault!" He shouted directly at Mantyz, who looked sheepish.
Later – Far Away
Angel sat on a park bench, not really sure of anything as she stared at her hands.
"Why did that happen? And what did I do?" She thought of what happened when she had started playing. "When I played Max, he did something. But why did I play when I didn't even know what was going on? And what did I do?"
"You played a wix sound is what you did." She turned around, shocked as she saw a brown haired man with brown eyes and a navy blue jumpsuit. She looked confused as he sat down next to her.
"Who are you?" He smiled.
"I'm Scoop Z." Her eyes widened.
"I remember you! You're a member of Triple Z, along with Slide Z and Slur Z! Or, well, you were." He looked surprised.
"Only Prepsy people really know about us, but you seem more like a Freewaver than a Prepsy." She shook her head.
"I'm not either. I'm a Christian, or, at least I thought I was. Just a few minutes ago, I thought I knew everything I needed to know, and knew the life I had to have. But then, everything changed in an instant." He nodded.
"I know what you mean. One moment, you're in the greatest band ever, and the next, you're kicked out for being different." Angel shook her head.
"That's not what just happened." She explained to him what had just happened. At the end of her explanation, he smiled.
"That's nothing weird. That's a Soundclash." She looked confused.
"Soundclash?" He nodded.
"Yeah, it's a Freewaver fight with music. Your music takes on a physical form, usually, and you use it to attack other people. No one gets seriously hurt, if you're wondering about that. The only actual injuries that happen are when someone hurts themselves, like if you fall from a tower you built up for yourself." She looked amazed, but still confused, and horrified.
"People can do that?" He nodded.
"Yeah, but only certain people. They're known as Guardians of the Thirteenth Note." She raised an eyebrow.
"There is no Thirteenth Note! I remember I tried to invent one because there was no sharp or flat in between E and F, but all I did was hit the next note." He smiled at her.
"That's because it's mystical. You're a Christian, right?" She nodded.
"How did you know?" He seemed a bit flustered, but then pointed at her pendant.
"You're wearing one of those pendants all the Christians wear." She nodded, holding it.
"It's called a cross. Anyway, how are you going to compare this made up Thirteenth Note to my faith? I hope you don't offend me, because I'll tell you right now, when people make fun of my faith, I tend to go against what I believe in." He shook his head.
"Nothing like that. You know how you can't actually hear God, but his voice is still there? Just because you can't hit the Thirteenth Note doesn't mean it's not there." She nodded.
"Makes sense, but how do you know about the Thirteenth Note?" He smiled.
"Because, I'm a Guardian of the Thirteenth Note." She raised an eyebrow.
"Really?" He nodded.
"You seem to be accepting things more easily. You were totally freaking out just a minute ago." She shrugged.
"I don't know why, but I just feel calmer. Maybe it's you, or something." He shrugged.
"Maybe." She smiled at him.
"I still don't believe you're a Protector of the Thirteenth note." He laughed a little.
"Guardian. I'm a Guardian of the Thirteenth Note. My Power is Sonic Control." She laughed.
"Okay, now I know you're making stuff up." He shook his head and stood up.
"I bet I can make you reveal your deepest, darkest secret with my powers." She nodded, not believing him as she stood up.
"Yeah, uh huh, sure you can." He smiled and held out his hand, putting the other one on his head, his eyes closed. Suddenly, she glowed with a white light and started dancing in a Freewaver style. Scoop Z opened his eyes to watch her, noticing how sadly she was dancing, in a way that made him want to cry, until he actually heard the lyrics, and understood why she was being so sad.
"When I was only three
I had a cute bunny
She was yellow and fluffy
Every day I felt oh-so lucky
I called my precious gift Layla
She was bright like a banana
"She was the only friend I ever had
But since I had her, I was so glad
And when I lost her one sad day
My whole world turned a deep gray
Losing my one and only true friend
Brought me sadness to no known end"
Scoop Z put his hand down and frowned sadly as she glared at him.
"Sorry. I didn't realize it'd be so sad. Usually, it's embarrassing things, like you peed the bed until you turned 12, or someone secretly still wears Captain ComaCo underwear even though they're 14. How was a bunny your only friend?" She looked sad as she looked down at the ground, away from him.
"I'd rather not talk about it, if that's okay." He nodded.
"Some secrets are kept for a reason. But I promise, I won't tell a soul about your bunny." She nodded.
"Yeah, don't." She looked up at him. "But now, I believe you. But why would a Guardian of the Thirteenth Note want anything to do with me?" He smiled.
"Because, you're a Guardian, just like me. You just don't know it yet." Freez's voice echoed in her mind, saying, "looks like you're a bona fide Guardian now," after that crazy event happened.
"Freez said that too, but I didn't understand what he meant." Scoop Z nodded.
"I can understand that. It's hard to know what something is when you're suddenly thrown into it. But, there's someone who can help explain everything to you." He took out his Vid-Phone and put up a Tag. Angel looked confused.
"What's that?" He smiled, and pointed in the direction of The Bounce, pointing out the Tag.
"See that over there? That sign over there is a Tag, if you didn't know, and it's something we use for things, like to let us know where people and parties are, but there are also other uses. That's a Search Tag, and it's for you. Every Guardian of the Thirteenth Note in Los Bosmos is searching for you." He then pointed at the Tag he put up. "This is a Found Tag. This lets them know I found you so that they don't have to keep searching. Once the Found Tag is put up, everybody heads over to where the Search Tag was once placed, in this case, The Bounce." Her eyes widened.
"That was done…for me?" Scoop Z nodded.
"Yeah, Freez, BB, and Mo were pretty worried about you." Angel looked confused.
"But why would they do that for just one person?" He smiled.
"Cause you're Freewave, maybe not now, but you've definitely got the soul for it. That song came from your heart, all I did was make you sing it. Because of that, we'll look out for you. Freewavers stick together. We're like a big family. Well, we're more like a lot of siblings." Angel smiled.
"It's nice, thinking of this like a family." Suddenly, Sugar Che popped up, singing.
"Well, that's what you're gonna have, cause the Freewave ain't leaving no one behind." Angel screamed and hide behind Scoop Z.
"What the Holy Spirit?!" Sugar Che laughed a little.
"I know it's hard to have one belief, and then suddenly have a Sonic Lord pop in on them!" Angel looked scared and confused.
"A Sonic Lord?" Sugar gave Scoop Z a look.
"Didn't you explain anything to her? I said that she needed to know what was going on!" Scoop Z smiled and shrugged.
"I told her what she needed to known so she'd stop freaking out over the Soundclash, but I thought you'd be the best person to explain everything else." Sugar Che nodded while Angel gave Scoop Z a look.
"You know this glowing, weird haired person?" Sugar Che moved her head back and forth.
"My hair ain't weird! It's natural! But, I really can't blame you for not knowing. Now, let me explain." She cleared her throat.
(AN: This is a necessary interruption. I would not normally do this, but I'm using the same song that Sugar Che sang in Episode 1, and this scene is pretty much gonna be exactly like that, but with Scoop Z and Angel instead of Freezbone and BB. It would take too much time and interrupt the song if I took the time to describe the scene, so just imagine it like that, but in the middle of the city and with these two.)
The world around them changed as Sugar Che sang.
"Well well well well well
A universal connection
Have you ever felt that feeling before?
Let's get some redirection
I'm gonna tell you what you came here for
And whoa there's a surplus of power (power)
That's why it needs protection
You got the groove that we want yeah
That's what it all comes down to
That's what I'm electing you to do to do
"So let me clear my -throat- (all right)
"(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Bring on the thirteenth note
(She Sugar Sugar Che now)
Oh the thirteenth note
(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Oh are you ready to –go-
"-Thirteen-"
Now not too long ago
At a Freewave jam where the yomies bounced (where the yomies bounced)
They saw the Mantyz roll
Hit a chord and people went crazy (yow wow wow)
But when they played for Mya de Zya
The magic and the music turned
And let them out of the darkness
Bad vibes
Mad times
"Hope they got a lesson to learn
"Alright
(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Talking about the thirteenth note
(She Sugar Sugar Che now)
Oh the thirteenth note
(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Oh are you ready to -go-
(She Sugar Sugar Che now)
"Woo
(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Talking about the thirteenth note
(She Sugar Sugar Che now)
Oh are you ready to go
(Can't you hear what I say now?)
Oh are you ready to -go-"
Angel smiled.
"Well, that's a nice story, but that doesn't explain one thing. I was really sick when I was a kid, and nothing could make me feel better. I had a rare disease with no cure that was fatal. But guess what? After I was prayed over by a pastor, I started getting better, and I didn't even believe in that yet. Explain that? For All I know, you're just a demon, trying to take me away from my faith." Scoop Z looked shocked.
"Did you not see the glowing, magical place we were just in? There were about ten of you!" Sugar Che laughed.
"It's alright Z. She's just got a faithful and strong heart. Stubborn, but loyal. That's the kind of people we'll need in the Freewave." She then turned and addressed Angel. "Think of it this way child. There are multiple universes. In one of those, your God is real, and He's so powerful, that He influences all universes, enough to heal you from that disease, whatever it was. He cares about you that much, and you know what? He also hid your Sonic Powers so that you'd be safe, and off of Vox's radar, but once you needed them, He let them loose, and you saved Freez, and you fixed his guitar Misty to boot." Angel held her head like she had a headache.
"Okay, that's a bit to process." She sat back down on the bench she had previously been sitting in. "So, you're saying that God is real, just somewhere else?" Sugar Che nodded.
"But He still cares about His yomies here, yomies like you. And I think that He wants you to protect the Thirteenth Note, otherwise, you wouldn't have those powers. You were meant to protect the Thirteenth Note, and to fight alongside Freefonix as their fourth member." Scoop Z nodded.
"And you'd be a great member too." He held out his hand. "So, why don't you come and officially meet your new band members, as well as your fellow Guardians?" Angel smiled, taking Scoop Z's hand to stand up.
"Well, I'll accept the offer as soon as they give it to me in person."
"Well then, would you like to join Freefonix?" Freez, Mo, and BB were coming towards them, with them all looking pretty happy as Scoop Z, Angel, and Sugar Che turned to them. Freez smiled at her. "It'd be great if you didn't change your answer." Angel smiled and nodded.
"Yes, I'd love to join Freefonix." They cheered. Freez dragged his fist across his mouth, as well as Scoop Z, Sugar Che, and Mo, then they held their fists out. Angel looked grossed out.
"Are you guys serious?" BB nodded.
"Yeah, they are. I've learned to just go with it." She did it, holding out her fist. Angel had a 'what the hell' look on her face and did it too. Sugar Che cheered out.
"Oh yeah! Now, the world is back in balance again! Tomorrow, we'll start your training as a Guardian of the Thirteenth Note! Sugar out!" She disappeared. The sun was starting to set. Mo looked pretty happy.
"Mantyz may have Razz, but now we've got another member, and we'll be able to protect the Thirteenth Note!" BB nodded.
"And we'll be able to keep Vox in his box." Scoop Z nodded.
"And trust me, being a guardian is a lot of fun." Angel nodded, smiling.
"I hope so. And next time, I won't freak out. I'll be ready for the next Soundclash, and I'll keep my head and be in control." The sun set fully, with them all having a battle ready look on their faces.
Song Of Hope: Sorry it took so long! I was just trying to get it perfect, but I couldn't get it the perfect length, and the plotline of this chapter was too rushed! But, here it is! R&R
