Never Fade Away ~Cyber Love Sequel~

"I don't like this plan..." he spoke as I sighed, "look, if we do it right, then the Arasaka board will be there...Rouge is well known...if we can get her to tell them the truth and back us..." I told him, "then they'd believe us...but the word of a merc, a guy who was supposed to be dead, and a fixer...won't be enough, you know this Johnny," he told me as I smiled, "true, but they'd take the word of his own daughter" I spoke as he stared at me, "okay, but how the hell do you purpose we stop Yori from shocking his daughter? I mean, you said it yourself! They've got her under a type of shock collar type deal but it's in her blood..." he spoke as I thought for a moment, "Viktor...we can go to him and see if he knows how we can stop it from happening," I told him as he sighed and ran his fingers through his short black hair. "Okay, so we throw a gig at Arasaka Tower, and you want me to play?" he asked as I nodded, "Henry won't come back because of the shit that happened whenever I was still an engram...", "he's still mad I chose Denny?" he asked as I nodded, "wait, how'd you know that?" he asked, "I went to Kerry's, Denny was there...I just told her that I spent time with the Nomads for several years and she believed it. Nancy believed it too" I told him, "and that's the story we're going with? For the fans that show up?" he asked as I nodded, "it's believable...the only people who won't believe it are Kerry, Y/, Yorinobu, and you...all of you know the truth...oh! And Rouge" I said as he sighed.

"When do we do this?" he asked, "we'll go to Viktor in the morning...Panam can come as well if she wants...could use a badass as a type of bodyguard...and if Yorinobu tries something then she could easily take him out with that sniper rifle she gave ya" I told him as he sighed. "All right...", "I'm gonna get started on a song, and then talk to Kerry and them about it. Guess I should tell them the truth bout where I've been..." I sighed and ran my hand over my face. "This is gonna be complicated...", "why tell them?" he cocked his head to the side slightly, "because they wouldn't understand why I want to do this so bad..." I explained as he nodded, "makes sense...I'll get a hold of Panam and everyone else we made friends with while you were a fucking tumor in my head...they'll act as our bodyguards...I'll also get a hold of an old friend...time for him to come out of retirement for a bit" he sighed as he left. 

-Time skip-

I was at Kerry's with Kerry, Nance, and Denny. I was mumbling the lyrics to the song I was working on while playing my guitar. "Nance, Denny...you two are starring" Kerry spoke, I didn't pay them any mind. "I-I'm sorry, it's just hard to wrap my head around...he was inside V's head the entire time?" Nancy asked as I nodded still mumbling, I removed the pencil behind my ear and wrote down some more lyrics. "And now, he wants to do what we did fifty years ago so he can save his girlfriend?" Denny asked as Kerry nodded, "He really cares about Y/n" he told them, "and V is going to play Denny's part because we need Yorinobu to come down from the tower and intervene?" Denny asked again as I nodded. "That's the plan...when he comes out of the tower, Y/n will be with him, but that doesn't mean we're going to stop playing...she won't be able to resist getting onto stage and dancing...she loves listening to us. Her ringtone for whenever I call her is Never Fade Away." I said looking at them, "mines Chippin' In" Kerry spoke as I chuckled a little, "I'm gonna warn you Kerry...this song isn't like the previous ones we've sang..." I told him as he cocked his head, I handed him the paper, I watched as he whispered the song to himself and tapped his foot. 

"Oh...it's very dirty and very you...this isn't surprising..." he then handed the paper to the girls as I smirked, "it's about Y/n...think it'll piss him off enough to try something?" I asked placing my hands on the back of my head as the girls laughed, "it would piss off any father if you called their daughter your sex machine" Nancy laughed as Denny chuckled, "I like the lyric, she's gonna lick my pistol clean" she said as I chuckled, "lemme call up V, he needs to be here for practice" I said as I pulled out my phone.
