The Emo Trinity/Quartet Book

HeavyDirtySoul and WTTBP

At Spiritshadow16 's request, I've decided to tell the story of HeavyDirtySoul.  At my own whim, I've also decided to put WTTBP as a story cause it's fun :D

HDS

(I'm probably taking it way too literally, so forgive me)

Tyler was in the backseat of a car, driving down a long road, winding through a forest.  He eyed his surroundings, warily.  Where am I?

Meanwhile, Josh stood in the middle of said road, banging the (dol)drums.

Strangely enough, a round of bullets hit the window near Tyler, but luckily didn't pierce through.  One of the car wheels sparked, and flew off, as the car approached Josh. The drummer looked unnerved as the car swerved to his right to avoid hitting him.

Of course, the sparks flying off the car ignited Josh's drum set, setting the largest one on fire.  Despite this, Josh continued to play.

"Can you save, can you save my, can you save my heavy dirty soul?" Tyler sang, quietly.  He stared out the window, hoping someone would hear his silent plea.  The singer spasmed a few times, as if some invisible force was controlling his movements, then fell back against the chair.

The car's axle continued to spark as it drove down the road, and Tyler sighed, looking up at the car roof as they passed Josh yet again.  The drummer gave them a look, but other than that, did nothing -- what could he do against a moving car, anyway?

It was then that Tyler became aware of just who was controlling the vehicle.  A strange figure in a black hood.  He seemed familiar, like Tyler had met him before.  I know his name, too.  Bl.. Blur... Blurry? Confused, Tyler sighed and looked away.  When he looked up next, however, the stranger was gone.

Leaving Tyler alone, in the backseat of a broken-down car.

Josh continued pounding on the drums, and suddenly, the driver side door fell off completely.  Then the passenger side.  Then, finally, the backseat doors.  Tyler watched as the roof fell away, exposing him completely to the open.

"Death inspires me like a dog inspires a rabbit," he murmured, standing up, running his hands through his short hair, and watching the road ahead.  Then, the singer climbed into the front seat, still standing. 

Nighttime had begun to fall, and gray clouds were spreading across the sky. 

"Can you save, can you save my heavy dirty soul?" Tyler sang.

Suddenly, the car caught alight, slowing to a stop as it passed by Josh.  Tyler hopped off of the burning vehicle and approached Josh.  "Can you save, can you save my heavy dirty soul? Can you save my heavy dirty soul?" he sang, as Josh's drum set began to fall apart as the flames spread. 

Finally, the song ended.  The car was still ablaze, burning quietly in the background, as Tyler and Josh walked away from the arson scene.

I hope I managed to capture the MV somewhat well :)

Anyways, here's everyone's favorite song -- WTTBP! I understand this a little better than HDS, so I personally feel like I'm going off on more of a "story" than with HDS.

"Dad, where are we going?" the boy asked. 

"Patience, Gee," the father replied.  "You'll see."

Father and son trekked through the black-and-white land they called home, until they reached an outcropping overlooking a large road.  Further down the road, a marching band drummed steadily onwards.

"Son," Gerard's father addressed him, "When you grow up, would you be the savior of the broken, the beaten, and the damned?" As the young boy blinked in confusion, his father went on.  "Will you defeat them? Your demons, and all the nonbelievers, the plans that they have made.  Because one day, I'll leave you, a phantom, to lead you in the summer, to join the Black Parade."

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

Those words stuck with Gerard even now, as the skeletal, white-haired spirit took to the stage.  He admired his brother Mikey on bass, his friends Frank and Ray on guitars, and Bob on the drums.  When Gerard had grown up, he'd taken his father's advice, and was now the head of the Black Parade, which welcomed dead souls into the Afterlife.  As the marching band continued on down the road, Gerard realized something.  A new arrival! He began to sing with gusto, encouraging the soul to pass on.

"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, WOULD YOU BE, THE SAVIOR OF THE BROKEN, THE BEATEN AND THE DAMNED?'"

It seemed to do the trick -- suddenly, a pale figure in a hospital gown shimmered into view in front of the band.  He gazed up at them, seeming confused.  Gerard nodded encouragingly down at the Patient, and continued singing.

"Sometimes I get the feeling, she's watching over me.  And other times I feel like I should go.  When through it all, the rise and fall, the bodies in the streets.  And when we're gone, we want you all to know...."

As Gerard sang and his friends guitared, The Patient began to explore his new home.  He spotted a lady wearing a black and white striped dress.  As she turned, the Patient saw that she wore a gas mask.  He continued walking on by the silent figure, exploring the strange world.

All the while, the Black Parade was performing its best.  "Do or die, you'll never make me, because the world, will never take my heart! Go and try, you'll never break me! We want it all, we want to play this part! I won't explain, or say I'm sorry, I'm unashamed, I'm gonna show my scars.  Give a cheer for all the broken, listen here, because it's who we are!"

As the music escalated, Gerard walked over to the Patient and slipped a medal around his neck.  "Welcome to the Black Parade," Gerard said quietly, as his bandmates gathered around.  Then, they continued performing. 

As the final note rang out, the Patient became aware of his award.  He turned to look over at the band, surprised.  The steady drumbeat slowly faded, and with a last bang, the Black Parade faded away, like ashes scattering in the breeze.

Let me know if you'd like me to story-ify any other MVs! (*Besides YBC... I'm not watching that XD)
