"And now! Ladies and gentlemen! Put your hands together-! For Parade of the Future!"
This was it: The roar of the crowd, the flashing lights, the smoke on the stage. This was the band's first ever competition. They were the last to preform since they were brand new to the rock band world. They were scared as all hell, but they were ready.
With Cloud and Vincent debuing their duet with the rest of the band, they were going to rock the house down!
Tifa on drums, she clicked her sticks together. "ONE! TWO! THREE! FOUR!"
A rush of music soon filled the air as they all started playing.
"I am the thunder roaring loud across the Sky!
My power grows with hunger, never asking why!" Cloud sang the opening lyrics, then Vincent chimed in.
"No one can stop me; I am my own force!
You are the boat; I am the ocean guiding your course!"
"Danger is my gun, so you better get ready!"
They both began to sing the chorus together.
"PULL THE TRIGGER! PULL THE TRIGGER, I AM READY FOR THIS FIGHT!"
"PULL THE TRIGGER! PULL THE TRIGGER; IT DOESN'T MATTER IF IT'S DAY OR IF IT'S NIGHT!"
"MY EYES STRIKE LIKE LIGHTNING; I AM ALREADY THIS GAME'S WINNER! SO PULL THE TRIGGER AND GET READY; HEAVEN JUST GOT A NEW SINNER!"
The band played and sang their hearts out tonight, and the crowd adored them. Even the judges were impressed by their energy and harmony with one another. One thing was clear, even if they don't win, they were going to be a band worth remembering.
