Chapter 9: Stepping Stones
(Disclaimer! I own nothing of Korra!)
Eska and Desna were watching a video of The Tone Benders performing.
"Any more of these shows and they'll be more popular than us," said Desna.
"You don't honestly expect these losers to be better than we are do you?" asked Kuvira.
"Well they got some views," said Desna, "A ton of views on their live stream."
"That don't mean fuck," said Kuvira, "And even if they made it to the top 3 it wouldn't mean fuck either."
"Kuvira's right," said Ryu, "We can still beat them with our hardcore music."
"That's the concentration we need," said Kuvira, "Now we're gonna show Korra and her gang or morons who runs this town of music."
"Yeah," said Desna, "Those punks will be sorry they ever crossed us!"
People started to come in waiting for their concert to start.
"The people are in," said Kuvira, "Now let's rock this house."
The band went on stage ready to perform for their fans.
"Alright, before we get into this party, as you all know we signed up to perform at the upcoming Blue Moon Festival," said Kuvira, "And although we got some competition, we have over a hundred of our fans cheering us on in hopes of seeing us perform on the main stage! I think that rocks y'all!"
The crowd cheered.
"Now let's rock this house til its dead," said Kuvira.
Berzerk by Eminem
Kuvira: Now this shit's about to kick off, this party looks wack
Let's take it back to straight hip-hop and start it from scratch
I'm 'bout to bloody this track up, everybody get back
That's why my pen needs a pad cause my rhymes on the ra-ag
Just like I did with addiction I'm 'bout to kick it
Like a magician, critics I turn to crickets
Got 'em still on the fence whether to picket
But quick to get impaled when I tell 'em stick it
So sick I'm looking pale, wait, that's my pigment
'Bout to go ham, ya bitch, shout out to Kendrick
Let's bring it back to that vintage Slim, bitch
The art of MCing mixed with da Vinci and MC Ren
And I don't mean Stimpy's friend, bitch
Been public enemy since you thought PE was gym, bitch
Kick your shoes off, let your hair down
(and go berzerk) all night long
Grow your beard out, just weird out
(and go berzerk) all night long
We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down
So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.
So baby make just like K-Fed and let yourself go, let yourself go
Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket
Life's too short to not go for broke
So everybody, everybody (go berzerk), shake your body
Guess it's just the way that I'm dressed, ain't it?
Khaki's pressed, Nike shoes crispy and fresh laced, so I guess it ain't
That aftershave or cologne that made 'em just faint
Plus I showed up with a coat fresher than wet paint
So if love is a chess game, check mate
But, girl, your body's banging, jump me in, dang, bang-bang
Yes siree, 'Bob', I was thinking the same thang
So come get on this Kid's rock, Baw with da baw, dang-dang
Pow-pow, chica, pow, chica, wow-wow
Got your gal blowing up a valve, valve-valve
Ain't slowing it down, throw in the towel, towel-towel
Dumb it down, I don't know how, huh-huh, how-how
Least I know that I don't know
Question is are you both so smart enough to feel stupid
Hope so, now hoe...
Kick your shoes off, let your hair down
(and go berzerk) all night long
Grow your beard out, just weird out
(and go berzerk) all night long
We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down
So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.
So crank the bass up like crazy and let yourself go, let yourself go
Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket
Life's too short to not go for broke
So everybody, everybody (go berzerk) shake your body
Desna did a wild guitar solo and drove the crowd wild begging for more. "And that's how its done yo!" he said. Mako was there in disguise watching them perform.
Kurivra: And they say that love is powerful as cough syrup in Styrofoam
All I know is I fell asleep and woke up in that Monte Carlo
With the ugly Kardashian
Lamar, oh sorry yo, we done both set the bar low
Far as hard drugs are though, that's the past
But I done did enough Codeine to knock future into tomorrow
And, girl, I ain't got no money to borrow
But I am trying to find a way to get you alone (car note)
Oh, Marshall Mathers
Shit head with a potty mouth, get the bar of soap lathered
Kangols and car-heart-less cargos
Girl, you're fixing to get your heart broke
Don't be absurd, ma'am, you birdbrain baby
I ain't called anybody baby since Birdman, unless you're a swallow
Word, Rick, word, man, you heard, but don't get discouraged, girl
This is your jam, unless you got toe jam
Crowd: Kick your shoes off, let your hair down
(and go berzerk) all night long
Grow your beard out, just weird out
(and go berzerk) all night long
Kuvira: We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down
So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.
So baby make just like K-Fed and let yourself go, let yourself go
Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket
Life's too short to not go for broke
So everybody, everybody (go berzerk), shake your body
We're gonna rock this house until we knock it down
So turn the volume loud, cause it's mayhem 'til the A.M.
So crank the bass up like crazy and let yourself go, let yourself go
Say "Fuck it!" before we kick the bucket
Life's too short to not go for broke
So everybody, everybody (go berzerk) shake your body
The crowd cheered for the band name; Berzerk.
"Thank you," said Kuvira, "You guys rock! And with your support, we'll crush the tone benders!"
(Meanwhile....)
Korra and Asami were walking to the studio for her band rehearsal.
"I can see why that's true," said Korra
"Exactly," said Asami, "Its amazing how that violinist was able to plug effects into it to make it sound less boring."
"There's our favorite guitarist," said Bolin, "Hey Asami."
"Hey Bolin," said Asami.
"So, did you come up with a set list yet?" asked Tahno, "I'm aching to see what we're performing at the Blue Moon fest."
"Well, first let's see what we've got," said Korra.
"Well, I've been thinking about performing some cool hard rock hits with some badass bass riffs," said Mako.
"That's a cool idea," said Tahno, "I was thinking about performing some songs where I can challenge myself to be better at singing."
"Well I had some ideas for some instrumental tunes, with a little bit of Yngwie Malmsteen thrown in, you know to impress those neo classical fans," said Korra.
"I got a love song," said Bolin.
"Is it a song for Opal?" asked Korra.
"NO!" said Bolin, "........Yes...."
"Well if we combine ideas we'll all get what we desire," said Tahno.
"So you're not gonna believe us, but Opal scored us another show," said Korra, "In fact it's a weekly show!"
"Wait, what?!" asked Mako.
"Yeah, apparently that video is so popular that someone wants us to perform at The Parlor," said Korra.
"Awesome," said Tahno, "This'll get us more publicity, especially if Opal live streams the performances."
"Guys," said Bolin, "You might wanna see this."
The group went outside and saw a billboard with the band's logo on it.
Korra's phone rang.
"Awesome right?!" asked Varrick, "I asked Zhu Li to help with all of this. With all this publicity you'll no doubt get to play this gig."
"Varrick you son of a bitch," said Korra as she grinned.
"Whoa, you kiss your mother with that mouth?" he asked.
