The Consul and The Cat

11- The Hero, the Villain, and the Vigilante

Resolution is strumming the opening riff to one of the songs when Dark Enchantress appears on stage. He looks up and does a double take, messing up the next few chords, "Dark Enchantress!"

"Apologies for arriving late, I had to let my favorite song finish playing first."

"Oh, you listen to our music?"

It scrunches up its face, "Involuntarily.. Except for Watch Out, I like that one."

Passion puts her drumsticks in the quiver before crossing her arms, "Well, why are you here this time?"

"Oh, to destroy the concert of course. I hate this music."

Passion glances at Truth, who's sneaking up behind Dark Enchantress, bass guitar in hand. She asks, "Just the concert?"

Dark Enchantress nods, "Yes, this one's personal... Don't ask why."

"Why?"

Before Dark Enchantress can answer, she gets bashed over the head with the bass guitar.

Dark Enchantress crumples while Truth checks to make sure his guitar is still in tune.

The audience is panicking, except for three of them who look more annoyed than scared.

Red Velvet turns to his friends, "I.. have to go. It's not everyday your mom gets knocked out by one of the Soul Jams."

Crunchy Chip nods, "No, no, I get it. Good luck."

Werewolf smacks him in the back of the head, "Don't wish him luck, you two are about to fight."

"Sorry, force of habit. What are you gonna do?"

Werewolf turns into his wolf form, "Guide the audience to safety."

Red Velvet raises an eyebrow, "With that vigilante name?"

Shadow's Terror growls, "Listen, I came up with it in middle school. Go help your evil mom."

Crunchy Chip waves them both goodbye, "I left my costume at Hero HQ, so I'll be back in five minutes!"

Reflection rushes past the strange group, shoving through the crowd and climbing onto the stage (using Adventurer and SPICE DRAGON as a ladder) before yelling at the Soul Jams, "HOW DARE YOU HURT MY M- YOUR EX- HOW DARE YOU!!"

Necromancer appears onstage, holding Shroomie, "Your what now? What were you gonna say, Reflection?"

"Shut the frick up."

Dark Enchantress gets back up, holding its head in pain, "Where on Earth are Beastmaker and Brute?"

Reflection uses the small amount of healing magic she knows to fix up Dark Enchantress, "They were supposed to be undercover in the crowd. At least, that's what Beastmaker said he'd do."

"Sorry we're late."

Everyone turns to see Beastmaker sitting on Brute's shoulder.

Passion holds up her hands, "Woah, woah, too many people! The stage is getting crowded!"

Dark Enchantress punches her in the face. Everyone else jumps into action, fighting each other while Dark Enchantress and Passion fistfight in the center of the stage.
