A Carnival in Darkness: Part 21

Staring now at all the Duel Monsters, He was praying they weren't thinking what he thought they were infact thinking. "Oh...Dear...God" He'd say before turning around and looking down to the Cat-Nipped Kitty duel spirit.

"Ugh...My skin is naturally this stone color...Thank you."

Now turning and seeing the Blue Eyes White Dragon leading Kisara toward him. "No...No...Please, I don't wanna get married. And I don't wanna sing," Raven says with a few tears welling up in his eyes.

Raven was now once more caught in the throes of an extreme fandom and stuck amongst these wild Axl fans. "Please!" He'd try to speak out to the crowd of people carrying him toward the stadium. "I'm not Axl Low! My name is Raven!"

But this was all useless, They had broken him to an extent now with the forcing up the stage and threats of tomatoes. Looking back to the band behind him and sighing as he looked down to his microphone now. Deciding to give in and actually sing his best for the crowd of fans.

Selecting My Chemical Romance's "Welcome to the Black Parade".

"Well...I guess I can give it a real try for once..." He softly says to himself before taking a deep breath.

When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?" He said "Will you defeat them, your demons, and all the non believers, the plans that they have made?" Because one day I leave you, A phantom to lead you in the summer, To join the black parade."

When I was a young boy, My father took me into the city To see a marching band. He said, "Son when you grow up, will you be the saviour of the broken, The beaten and the damned?"

Sometimes I get the feeling she's watching over me. And other times I feel like I should go. Through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets. When you're gone we want you all to know We'll Carry on, We'll Carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on Carry on We'll carry on And in my heart I cant contain it The anthem wont explain it.

And we will send you reeling from decimated dreams Your misery and hate will kill us all So paint it black and take it back Lets shout it loud and clear Do you fight it to the end We hear the call to To carry on We'll carry on Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on

And on we carry through the fears Ooh oh ohhhh Disappointed faces of your peers Ooh oh ohhhh Take a look at me cause I could not care at all Do or die You'll never make me Cause the world, will never take my heart You can try, you'll never break me Want it all, I'm gonna play this part Wont explain or say i'm sorry I'm not ashamed, I'm gonna show my scar You're the chair, for all the broken Listen here, because it's only.. I'm just a man, I'm not a hero Just a boy, who's meant to sing this song Just a man, I'm not a hero I -- don't -- care Carry on We'll carry on, Though your dead and gone believe me Your memory will carry on We'll carry on, And though you're broken and defeated You're weary widow marches on We'll carry on *three times* We'll carry, We'll carry on...

And with that he finished the song, Having actually given a decent performance for once in his life in comparison to the earlier performance at the other stadium.

Now sighing and getting ready for the tomatoes to be thrown at him when he actually did okay this time.

*****************************

Snake duel monsters sway back and forth as they dance to the music. The monsters and duelists all cheer at Raven as they enjoyed the song. Huge banners and signs were being held by many that showed how much of a fan they were of Axl. Soon the fans screamed for Raven to sing more.

The Dark Magician Girl, along with the Egyptian gods, Sacred Beasts and Legendary Knights together speak sternly to Raven that they were here to bring Raven whom they think is Axl back to their realm which is the dominion of the Duel Monsters where all Duel Monster Spirits can worship him like a god and he has a giant stage made of gold to sing every single minute of the hour every day of the year.

"Axl is not going anywhere! He is not going to be taken by all you duel monsters to another dimension. Axl is going to stay here and be my husband." Kisara whistles and soon 50 Blue Eyes White Dragons appears at her side ready to fight for Raven. The beautiful song that she heard Raven sing made her more in love with this Axl.

Shiny lights appear from the sky and the portal to the Duel Monsters world appear. The monsters were now prepared to bring Raven over to their Kingdom in which they can worship and listen to more of his singing. The portal started creating strong winds that tried to drag Raven in.

Sephiroth finished reading the book he was reading but before he read another book from the shelf, he looked at That Man and another strange looking character that was also in the library, no doubt another servant of That Man's. "If you don't mind me asking. What are you creatures because you don't look very human like to me. Are you those so called Gears too?"
