Chapter 181: Get to the Top Part 1 (2/2)
”So that's it… No more Team Rhapsody… No more Ingrid…”
”Zinnia.”
”You're all traitors. If it was any of you, Alton would be there to get the justice you deserve. Alton was a true hero who always cared for others. You're just cowards!”
The door to the booth swung open as everyone turned in complete shock as Destiny stood there, laughing snorting at the same time. ”Alton, a true hero… Who, haha… Always cared for others? Stop it I'm dying, dying. Did you hear this shit, Marco?”
Marco smashed the wall down from behind them, cackling along. ”What a joker this girl is. I already love the new crew.”
”You fuckers! You're the ones who killed Alton!” Zinnia screeched charging at them only to be pinned to the ground crushed under the weight of gravity.
”Now, now. We come in peace.” She giggled kneeling to Zinnia's level, squeezing her cheeks. ”Feisty one we have here. She's acting like we killed her friend… Oh, wait!”
Marco fell onto the sofa spreading his legs out getting comfortable. ”Team Rhapsody. Zinnia Trost, Gale Lampard, Emil Montague, Scarlett Syndicate and Alice Hawthorne. Former members include Percy Misharp and Alton Brantley. I'm so glad to meet his other friends.”
Gale clenched his fist, staring Marco down. ”You have a lot of nerve showing your face here. I'll show you what you're messing with!”
Gale swung his fist as Marco only to be stopped by a barrier. Letting out a playful smile, Marco stepped into the cube holding his baseball bat towards Gale. Pulling it back, he smirked yelling out. ”Batter up!” Marco smashed Gale's face serval times as blood splattered all over the cube. Everyone else watched in horror as Marco was hopping around like he needed to use the bathroom. ”Come on, activate it. Activate it, show me your power.”
Gale clawed at the floor gasping for air gurgling under the blood. ”Deadman's Requiem.”
Marco stared on in glee as nothing happened, making Gale stare on in disbelief. ”Ahh, what's wrong, Galey? You all out of energy? What a shame… I should have told you my barriers negate your powers. I'm sorry. Here let me put you out of your misery.”
”No! Stop, please stop. We give up. Don't hurt him.” Scarlett begs.
Marco stares down at a bloody Gale dropping the barrier. ”Fair enough, you have already gone through a lot. Does that seem fair to you, Destiny?”
”Sounds fair to me. I'm glad we can all come to an understanding. Come! Let us sit and celebrate the life and death of our ally in arms Avalanche. Better known as Alton Brantley.”
”Wait… The Alice knows you… Impossible, your Destiny Lee and Marco Hill of Hero's Might. You both died during the fall of Sunset Peak.”
”A fan. Wow, how impressive and here I thought no one would know who we are. An honour young Hawthorne. That's correct. We are the Ex of Alton's wacky streaming journey. We too considered him friends being in a group together until he killed all of our family and froze our city to the ground.” Destiny said in a childish tone.
”No, that's not true. It was his father who did such acts.” Emil argued.
”Is that what he told you? How funny. That boy sure loves lying, doesn't he?” Marco tutted, shaking his head. ”Hey, Destiny! The karaoke machine is working. Can I play a round? Please, please, please!”
”Does anyone else have a problem with that?” She questioned looking at the obedient streamers. ”The stage is yours, Marco sweetheart.”
Marco jumped for joy going through the songs picking serval songs of his choice each by Harmony and her band. Destiny flopped to the ground sitting next to Zinnia clapping her hands to the rhythm as Marco began singing like a crazed animal. He was utterly out of sync being off-key and screaming each word like a lunatic hopping around the room. Jumping for the sky, he screamed, swinging his arms around. ”Let's get to the top!”
Destiny kept bobbing her head left and right clapping her hands. She turned to Zinnia, who was staring at her with pure hatred. ”Ah come on, try and enjoy yourself we're celebrating here. We used to be friends with Alton ourselves. It Marco, Sam, Alton and myself. We wanted to take the streaming world by storm. It was Sam's idea to start the group banding us together. She wanted to save people just like you. We were going to be different from the norm, people were going to look up to us as heroes. And for nearly two years it was like that. We didn't gain much traction, but we did what we loved.”
Destiny began cheering Marco on as he moved onto the second song. ”Who's there for you when our world is doomed, when you're alone and bored in your room. When the world doesn't do any good when you've had enough, there's a diamond in the rough. Oh!”
”If what you said is true, why would you do it? He was your friend, and you killed him!”
Destiny sighed patting Zinnia on the head. ”So naïve little one. Tell me for the year you've known Alton what do you truly know about him? How many secrets did he keep from you? How can you call someone your friend when he was going to stab you in the back at any moment?”
”Not Alton. He would never do that!”
Destiny giggled standing up, pushing Zinnia over with her foot. ”I give up. You're delusional and have fallen for Alton's lies like we once did.” Zinnia began floating in the air before gravity smashed her into the wall breaking through it and landing in the car park. ”Enough fun Marco. Let's do what we really come here for.”
Scarlett shot up exploding the area this was met by the two being protected by a barrier. The rest of Team Rhapsody, all apart from a beaten Gale, stood to their threats. Marco clapped his hands together mockingly. ”Man, this is going to be so much fun.”
Destiny tilted her head to the side with a maniac look. ”Let's wake these delusional puppets from their dreams and show them just who they've been following this whole time!”
