After that stare down between Zane and Valentino. Valentino ordered Angel to take Zane to the dressing room to dress up for the performance. They made it there and Zane really did not like what he was looking at all the outfits were way too appearly to certain parts of the body. "I am not wearing any of those!" Zane said angrily and uncomfortablely. "Don't worry they're not looking at your face there want to look at your body."Valentino said. "I did say I will do the deal but that doesn't mean that you can control me." Val once again did not like what he was hearing. Zane just realized Valentino's weakness is loss of control! "What's wrong Valentino? Can't control someone that you don't own or is it because you're just scared of losing that deal!" Zane knew it was a risky thing to say and it paid off. Valentino was shocked to hear that and he knew that Zane found his weakness. "Just dress up whatever you like and get on stage within 10 minutes. Sharp!" Val angrily walked away and went back to his main seat in the lobby. "You almost got on to Valentino's bounty list. you know that right?"Angel said knowing that Zane probably will die for real this time. "At least I'm doing it for a friend."Zane said. Angel was about to say something to him again but Zane close the door and locked it. "I hope I know what you're doing."Angel said walking away.

Inside the Dressing Room

Zane was disgusted by all the outfits in the room thinking that there's probably not even one outfit for him. NOT AT ALL! He decided to keep the outfit that he's already wearing and clean it up. He also went to the mirror to make sure that everything on him was right. During his blink of an eye he saw a different reflection of himself. It was too fast for him to get all the details on what was on that mirror. The only thing he saw was him smiley with the very same color rainbow eyes like at the limo. Zane brush it off thinking Val must be fucking with him to try to scare him. As he touched the doorknob he heard a voice "let it out." He turned around and seen nobody, looking every closet finding any compartment that was big enough to hold a demon if possible. To his surprise no one is there but him. A knock at his door pull him out of his trance into reality. "You need to hurry! 2 minutes left before the show starts!" said the random demon possibly an employee outside the door. Zane took his breath opened the door and said to himself "Let my true colors out."

12 minutes earlier

Valentino was seriously pissed. He did not like the fact that Zane talk tough guy to him and found out his weakness! Valentino was so angry he did not notice them Vox and Velvet answer the club. "I told you Velvet stop feeding homeless demons sweets full of poison or drugs!" Vox said annoyingly. "Oh come on!" Velvet said in a sad tone."I was just doing it to get more views on what I want to do!" "You do that EVERYDAY!" Vox said angrily. Vox notice that Valentino was angry about something and ask him what was wrong. "Some smart-ass talk tough to me in front of everybody so I decided to do something back for him and that is humiliate him in front of everybody!"Valentino said in a evil way and smiling very dangerously.

Back to the present

Zane was on the way to the stage, but every time he goes past a reflection he sees a different him. This time Zane can see clear since it wasn't from a blink of his eye. He was wearing a white suit, something colorful on it too. A white cane with a colorful skull at the end of it. But that's all he can see and the voice from earlier said "They will see who we truly are!". Zane turn around to find nobody.
Finally he was on stage and he was not nervous but he felt like he'd done this before.
"Let me do all the work." the voice said. The announcer called Zane's name in the curtains moved to revealed the crowd.
The mic was right in front of him ready to hear his voice through the speakers. Zane realize something there's no people playing instruments behind him or speakers playing music! Valentino tricked him to take the deal in humility him! "I'll fix that problem" the voice said once again. All of a sudden Zane noticed his shadow was moving into four or five different parts of him and it became into reality! All of them were holding different types of instruments. And then the music started playing and he noticed what song it was and he started to sing it!
