A Carnival in Darkness: Part 4

Sephiroth didn't like the noise upstairs from the concert. It was bothering his reading and if the music continued he would go upstairs to complain. Right now he continued to concentrate on reading that book that That Man gave him. "I really wish that I knew the secret of the Gears."

Axl's singing has attracted even more women as they flew over by the jet load all of them screaming with excitement at the sight of Axl singing on stage.

That Man was a little annoyed by the loud noises and it was making him lose a bit of focus as he headed back toward the basement where Sephiroth still would be. Walking back down the stairs quickly and with a flick of the wrist, All the noise was drowned out from the basement as he looks to Sephiroth, "Has the book helped you? he asks.

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

After Kickstart My Heart, Axl was a bit afraid of the women jumping up on stage, Worried that he might get swarmed and trampled or something, But kept his cool. "Ladies...Ladies...Relax! Axl's gonna sing somemore for all of ya, Just enjoy yourselves" He'd say calmly and in his often laid-back fashion into the microphone.

Raven stares at how the crowd was now getting violent amongst themselves. Turning around and loudly screaming, "Otoko-sama! Otoko-sama! We've got a problem!", As he'd start to run off to look for That Man, His strong legs carrying him fast to look for his boss.

Axl stopped his singing quickly now and looked at all the ladies starting to fight for him in the crowd. Loudly speaking into the microphone.

"Ladies! Ladies! Stop, Come on, You all don't need ta fight over me, There's enough'a Axl Low to go around", He says warily. Worried that the fans might really start rioting and causing chaos. He thought real fast and then looked to the band quickly, Maybe a song might be good for a situation like this.

The band starting to pick up once he talks amongst them of what he wants to play, A song from the Japanese Rock/Metal group, Janne Da Arc titled Labyrinth and to make it easier for the crowd, He'd sing it in english.

Axl came close to the edge of the stage, Singing loudly to his fans and trying to calm them down so they could at least enjoy the music he'd sing for them. Showboating for them with some dance moves he learned over the years and trying to keep a riot from happening.

The eyes of a wild animal behind a mask Glittering with suspicion, the eyes of a beast Concealing a fleeting light With a mocking laugh, the painting of Pizarro

Underneath disheveled sheets I beg for your kiss All while hunting for my lascivious temptations Underneath disheveled sheets I perform just like this Left like a toy to satisfy myself in your body

Not even the moonlight can intrude This blazing hot room is a different world The world projected in a mirror The image of the two of us on the brink together...

In the dangerous night I beg for your kiss As you take my breath away stripping off anything and everything in haste In the dangerous night I perform just like this My manipulated self won't lie

The eyes of a wild animal behind a mask Glittering with suspicion, the eyes of a beast Concealing a fleeting light With a mocking laugh, the painting of Pizarro

Our entangled bodies grasping one another "Faster, make me come..." On top or underneath? I don't know why Our entangled bodies, each leaving wounds on the other Red buds pulling on a string, the night is not yet over

You straddle my body, our disheveled appearance exactly As you say "Give it to me harder, thrust it in, I'm going crazy" Drinking your indulgent honey, I'm drunk on vodka and you As you say "Don't stop, don't stop, I'm going mad" Your nails gripping into my back, our disheveled appearance exactly As you say, "Give it to me harder, harder, I'm going crazy" I can't leave this dream yet

Perhaps not the best song...To sing to a crowd of women who were infatuated with him...

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

Sephiroth's eyes looked up from the book as he saw That Man. He actually learned a lot from the other books that he should not have been reading but he kept quiet. Unfortunately it was still not enough to recreate the destructive nature of the Gears. "Yes this book proves to be most helpful." Sephiroth crosses his legs and leans back comfortably in his chair as his eyes return to the book. He shows no sign of leaving this library any time soon. "By the way, what was going on upstairs with all the noise? A war? An earthquake?"

Soon all the senshis in the entire Universe came to the carnival for one purpose to fall madly in love with Axl's music and scream for him to sing some more.

"There is just a very large crowd upstairs to hear someone named Axl Low sing, He's a man from the year 2034 or so, A time traveler and is the alternate self to my servant, Raven". That Man calmly makes his way over to a seat, Sitting down in it and placing his hands upon his lap, Though they were still obscured from view by his robes.

Eyes looking over to Sephiroth though they too as well as his face were obscured by the shadow cast by his robes.

"So tell me the truth, Why do you desire the knowledge of these books?", He says in his ominous tone of voice toward Sephiroth, Deep, Booming and commanding of attention even though That Man was being casual toward the one-winged angel.
