Chapter 34 - what next

Eskin and Mecca play hard and score a few points. Mecca gets a love, he mocks Eskin. Eskin assures him with a point of his right forefinger and stern eyes.

Eskin finally gets a love.

"I told ya!" He says with a mocking smile.

"Shut up!"

Mecca throws the ball high with his left hand and itcomes down He jumps to the air and shoots it with force towards Eskin's right.

Alarmed, Eskin runs to that point and forcefully clashes with the ball; the struggle begins.

Eskin wears a face of girth as he struggles to push the fiery ball back with his aura covered racket. Mecca watches on with an insane grin.

Eventually, an explosion occurs that wipes everything in sight including Mecca. Mecca loses his grin as this takes place; smoke engulfs the area.

The smoke later dies down and showcases the Men as they face themselves in disgust.

"So...what next?" Mecca asks.

"I don't know. Wanna sing?"

"You can sing?!" Mecca asks.

"Is that supposed to be an insult!?" Eskin demands to know.

"No, not really! It's just that you don't look it!" Mecca replies.

"We're judging the book by it's cover now, are we?!" Eskin says.

"Yes! Yes, WE are!"

"You stupid cunt!" Eskin says.

"Stop calling me that, I ain't your mother!"

"God forbid your tongue!"

"Which God!" Mecca asks.

Deep into the evening, Stella and Gaku go forward in their directions inside the forest. They do so while frightened.

Sounds erupt from the bushes and they look to the side. Gaku, to the right and Stella, to the left.

They keep walking slowly.

They walk for a while before they see shadows. They become the more frightened but keep moving with their Katana's in their right hands ready.

The shadows become clear and they see themselves. They gasp and exclaim in relief as they hold their chests with their left hands.

They lock eyes with intensity.

Mecca and Eskin walk into a room filled with musical instruments and a software for recording.

"Nice place." Mecca compliments.

"Thanks." Eskin says as he walks towards the point where a white paper is. He picks up the paper with his right hand and hands it over to Mecca who just approached his behind.

Mecca holds it with both arms and reads it. After reading, he smiles.

"So this is what you want us to perform?" He asks.

Eskin raises his eyebrows and brings it down.

"The way do me." He says.

"Nice. It will sound like she's doing you and at the same time..." Mecca says.

"...making me feel human." Eskin says.

"Beautiful!" Mecca compliments.

"Thank you. I will handle the switch between the rapping and singing for both the 1st and 2nd verses. You handle the 3 choruses and outro." Eskin instructs.

"Adlibs?" Mecca asks.

"Why not?! I will add. I have to carry my song after all!" Eskin pridefully says with closed eyes and slightly raised arms.

Mecca laughs.

Eskin chuckles and laughs as well.

A button is pushed. The beat is played.

Mecca observes as Eskin emotes.

Mecca bops and says...

"Mmmh, nice! I fuck with this! A mixture of heavy metal and pop!"

"Exactly! Heavy Pop!" Eskin says.

"I like the sound of that!" Mecca says with a smile.

"Let's roll!" He instructs.

3...2...1. The best plays.

A ten second build-up takes place and Mecca takes over.

"It surprises me, the vanity! It makes me lose my mind!" Mecca sings and looks at the paper in his right hand.

Eskin takes over immediately...

"(My mind!)"

"I get lost, can't be found. I'm tryna find a way out! But I see a light" Mecca sings.

"(It's you!)" - Eskin.

"It's so bright, I feel I'm not worthy!" - Mecca

"(You stretch your hand!)" - Eskin.

"I feel so scared! You throw a big smile. Oh I love that!" - Mecca.

"(I love it!)" - Eskin.

"It's makes me feel-!" - Mecca.

"(So wanted!)" - Eskin.

"I cannot help it any longer!" - Mecca.

"Ah, I touch my chest, I feel my heartbeat, it's calling your name (I can't believe it.)

And I don't know your name so damn it's so strange. You're so, so beautiful, you are my Sun.

Take it from me word to word, I swear I'll build your World! Anything you want, you don't need to say a word. Just need your love, I just need your love!

"(Baby)" - Mecca

Don't tell me no, I can't take that for an answer!" - Eskin.

Mecca laughs at loud and the record cuts. Eskin looks at him by his right with disdain.

"Oh I'm sorry. You're just so demanding for someone that lost his way." Mecca says.

"Just get back to the damn line!" Eskin says.

"Sorry, sorry. Okay." Mecca says and the record restarts. The chorus replays.

And at the point of "It's so bright, I feel unworthy!" Mecca adds "(ah, ah, ah, oh, oh)"

This adlibs echoes throughout the chorus 'til the final point and Eskin sings out loud...

"Help it any longer!!!"

Mecca looks at him and bops with a smile.

"Why did I choose you? What do I see in you? What makes you special? Only God above, knows why!

(He says the last part with a raise of his right forefinger to the ceiling and then brings it down.)

I can't begin to describe it, and I don't want to. I don't care if what's ahead is darkness, I'm going anyway.

"(Oh baby, can't you see?)" - Mecca

The guitar solo kicks in for 30 seconds and the last chorus resumes.

Mecca and Eskin melodiously scream throughout with the additions of "(oh and ah)" at some point.

"Please take my hand." - Mecca

"(Take it baby!)" - Eskin.

"Illuminate me!" - Mecca.

"(Like the Sun, touch my Soul!)" - Eskin

"I want you to be the one!" - Eskin & Mecca.

The beat plays out as they bop while facing the ground.

It fades away and they both look up.

It ends as they look into the space.
