*Grace and No Name*

When the two arrive at the Dance&Karaoke, they both notice that this section is separate from the other with a yellow line that covers the top and bottom of the entrance.

They ignore it and walk through the yellow line. When their whole body passes the line, they are immediately hit with flashy lights, loud music, and cheers.

Grace to No Name: Now I'm really impressed! Never thought that technology would be used for this.

No Name: So am I...Let's go there!

No Name grabs Grace's hand and easily drags her to where the crowd is. But when they both arrived, they couldn't see anything except everyone back. (Grace is taller than No Name.)

Grace tells No Name "Get on my shoulder. Now!" then she lowers her elevation and No Name immediately gets on. They both have no trouble in keeping balance on each other. No Name then report to Grace about what is going on.

On the stage, there are two girls having an 'Idol Showdown'. One of them has long silver parted hair with light blue eyes while the other has purple hair.

The two girls both sing and dance to see who hit the highest score in the game and who has the highest support from the crowd.

...

In the end, the winner is the silver-haired girl. And the purple-haired girl collapsed. Before hitting the floor the girl was caught by a guy wearing a purple scarf and a name tag "Tech Support". The girl was then carried to a row of chairs where eight more girls were sitting together.

All of these girls look like they have no energy left.

Silver hair: Thank you C for carrying my ninth Victim to their tomb. Now! Who wants to be my 10th Victim?!

The crowd goes wild with hand raising from everyone. Now blocking No-Name's view, but she did see the 'Silver hair' girl cover her ears after that speech.

No Name tells Grace "Cover Your Ears Now!" then both of them cover their ears. The crowd and everyone who wasn't covering their ears got to hear the worst sound imaginable.

Then the "Tech Support" guy shows up on stage with a microphone.

C: Quiet down! Just like what Monarch said, we will now choose the final Victim.

Monarch's eyes start to glow: If any of you have ever gone to one of my shows in this location before, you will know that I always leave the best for last. Today, much to my surprise the best also arrived last.

Monarch jumps off the stage and approaches her 10th Victim. The crowd makes a path for Monarch to walk through. Then she stops and points the microphone at...

Monarch: You! Blondy will be my 10th Victim!

...

Grace: Ehhh! Me? Are you serious?

Monarch: Mom never wrong!

Grace: Mom?! But you don't look that old... You know what Mom/Monarch I accept your challenge!

Monarch's eyes start to fade: Great! Let's go! You can also bring your friend closer to the stage.

Monarch walks to the stage first.

Grace grabs No-Name's hand forcefully: You are going to cheer me on!

No Name: But I don't know how to cheer...

Grace: Just scream at the top of your lungs is good enough!

Grace jumps on the stage, standing next to Monarch. C then gives No Name a pair of glow sticks.
