"Come, come, come, let us worship God."

But instea...

Daichi:
"Go Anubis." I cheered softly.
Give it up. It'll never work.
"Says the guy that has a one sided crush on Elsa."
It's not one-sided! Mycharm will win her over.
I sighed. Mine may or may not be one sided, but Reiji had a one sided crush. The way Ikuto was so persistent with Elsa during the song.... he truly loved her, and could take care of her more than Reiji ever could.
The lights came back on, meaning break was over. All of us, except for Anubis, were sitting in the audience.
"Welcome back!" Even though it was only ten minutes. "The next song is created and performed by a solo member of the band that is not the singer! The member of Come will go first. Please state your name, what you play, and your song title."
Anubis stood up. "My name is Anubis Deloria. I usually play the guitar. If I had to choose a song title, it would be 'The Path of God.'"
He started to play a slow, melancholy melody. After a few measures, he sang:
"Following, following the Lord. Not ever, no never, seeming To ask Him:
Why? Why God? I don't want Him to Get; angry. I, have been, following Him blind. Never to; see what He shows me.
Is he, oh; is he not Death's cause? People die, yes die, 'round me. I'm helpless.
Why? Why God? I'm starting to doubt my; own self. I, have been, reading the Bible. But I; can't find my purpose."
As he went into the bridge, there was a huge change in the music. He played each line really fast, with a small break as he grabbed his head. He sang:
"I miss my mother and father but I left them to follow the Lord. I miss my bride friends and children but I left them to follow the Lord. I want to kill a murderer but can't since I'm following the Lord. I wish that I had a choice. I wish that I had turned back. I WISH THAT I KILLED MYSELF!"
Everything grew dead silent. As he finished yelling the last line, he stopped playing and looked up, a hand to his face. After 5.5 seconds he started to play again, singing softly again:
"But, I don't mind. God, he loves me. So, I'll follow him. Till my days end."
The crowd cheered. He panted, looking up at a covered box: Noah's private area. He continued to look up there. And for the first time with anybody, I couldn't tell what he was thinking.

Noah:
I had tried everything. I set them up with robots. I set them up with the hardest judge ever. I even gave that robot group permission to use magic so they could sabotage them.
That blasted "Come" group and their undead: Elsa and Vlad.
I had a feeling that man was lying, but how could they be alive after a thousand years?
They look the same. I've been alive the same amount and I look ugly; all bones and rags of skin. Only a wheelchair and magical tubes keep me alive now.
I looked down. The boy who just sang... he's staring at me. I panicked, seeing that he was blond.... but it's not time yet for the next attack. And he's not their age.
They usually only appear every quarter century or so; the blond killers that is. Men and women in their late twenties who come to me and say: "This is your punishment."
Thankfully, I kill them before they do. But we have never found the true mastermind. Each man or woman... They had different backgrounds, different cities, and different jobs. The only things similar were their blond hair, their age, and their haunting last words....
Because of this, there were no trails. I hushed up the public, but they were starting to notice something was up. I sent the best detectives in the world to work on this case... But still, no leads. Even their families had no clue.
After five hundred years had passed, I decided that it was the result of that man's curse. After all, that man was blond. And they started to come twenty years after I killed that man.
This was why I was a little worried about bringing Ezekiel here; after all, she is twenty five and blond. But no matter... If she gets near me, I'll kill her.
The blond boy shrugged, then turned to listen to the robot band.
I wish that I wasn't so paranoia of blond boys; I used to like them.
If only that man hasn't cursed me.
If only I had killed him before he did.
That man, Titus Perez.

Elsa:
Ezekiel looked at Anubis. "Anubis, a well done and well written song. A little too rushed at the end though. 23/25."
Anubis let go of his breath and pumped his fist.
Ezekiel looked at the Androidz member. "Ceard, well done and well written song. However, it could've been performed better. 22.5/25"
I put my hand to my mouth to stop myself from letting out a squeal. We were tied!
"And now, the two bands will perform a song from a movie, with dance to go along with it. Bands, please change."
I squealed as I hugged Anubis. "Oh Anubis, that was such a pretty song!"
"A little...depressing though." Everyone agreed with what Vlad said.
Anubis shrugged. "If one wants to follow the path of the Lord, one has to know the cons of it. Anyway, let's get ready for the next song."
I was so nervous. I felt like everyone was making fun of me with the song choice, but I can do this!
