Lord Raptor stands on-stage, shredding his guitar for the crowd as they cheer his name. Little do they know, a piece of their souls are being siphoned bit by bit as the song carries on.
HELLO, SYDNEY! Let’s make this a concert for the ages, and rock the gates of Hell open with our music!
The crowd cheers louder with Lord Raptor, forming mosh pits and slamming into each other in glee.
Now that’s what I like to see, mate! Who needs Hell when the Outback is right here!
The concert goes on for a while, as more and more soul energy is siphoned from the crowd.
I think it’s time we stop messin’ around, and bring out the big guns! We got a very special guest on our hands tonight, let’s see how she handles her guitar!
The lights on the stage turn off instantly after Lord Raptor’s speech, and a few seconds later a spotlight flashes on the middle of the stage, revealing Ibuki Mioda.
HELLLOOOOOO SYDNEY~!!! I’M HERE TO ROCK, WHAT ABOUT ALL OF YOU?!
Ibuki points at the crowd and they all give a thunderous shout in response.
That’s what I like to hear! Let’s make this night one to remember!
Ibuki starts with a guitar solo of her own, before Lord Raptor joins in sync. The crowd roars with applause.
We’re reaching the grand finale, everyone! Are you all ready to finish this?!
The crowd has reached the peak of their excitement, they all raise their hands in response.
Lord Raptor lets out a killer riff, finishing the song with an explosive finale as fireworks fire into the sky, signalling the end of the concert.
THANK YOU SYDNEY!! YOU ALL REALLY PUT YOUR SOUL INTO IT!
Satisfied with the soul energy he reaped from the concert, Lord Raptor exits off-stage along with Ibuki.
That was A-MAZING! I haven’t done a huge gig like that since like, forever!
Heh, you know your way around that guitar of yours, mate. Say, didn’t you come ‘round these parts to talk about that uh, ‘tournament’ thingy?
Aw, I forgot again! It’s hard to do your job when you’re rocking out so hard! I gotta say, I’m a huge fan of yours, your second album ‘Punishment’ is my absolute favorite!
Lord Raptor sits on top of an unused speaker and tunes his guitar.
Gettin’ off track again, ain’t’cha?
Haha, whoops! Anyways, I’m sooooooo excited to see that a rock legend like yourself is going to grace us with your presence! What made you want to join the tournament?
Took ya long enough, mate. I struck a little deal with your eh, host? Turns out if I win, your skeleton friend has the power to stream one of my concerts directly into anyone and everyone’s devices with a flick of that staff o’ his. Could you imagine how many soul- er fans I would get pullin’ a stunt like that?! It would be legendary!
For real? That’s siiiiiick! Billions of people who never got the chance to would get to listen to your music!
I know, and I’m countin’ on it…
Lord Raptor begins to laugh at the thought of winning the tournament. Ibuki nervously laughs with him, though not sure why she’s doing so.
