Chapter 37: MTube

Some Heroes of Ultimate Fate hide their identities. For the pop-music B List Celebrity Richard, this is a chance. He could finally become famous, an A List Celebrity. By… ripping off hits from Earth, and playing them to the locals.

He and his band, the MTube (Music Tube), are on a roll, until they get the strangest of spectators.

I move around the stage, as I sing Bones. The crowd is loving it. I think I will win the Florifel Music Awards this year as well. Who cares that there is a demon lord destroying the countryside?

 Let the king and dark lord deal with him. I mean, isn't the dark lord a former Hero of Ultimate Fate? Why should I step in?

Just because I am a Hero of Ultimate Fate, it doesn't mean that I have to risk my life. And this new demon lord is no joke. He did something I will never forgive.

He stopped all the communications in the world. Snapped the magic lay lines, and now, my songs (the stolen songs) can't be played on the radio.

Well, I suppose there is a silver lining. For, now, people pay triple to see me perform life. I think I will sing Teen Spirit next. Hm, or maybe, I will go over to these two young sweet things, who have been watching me with sparkling eyes?

It is not like they are paying me for more than twenty songs. I finish with the song, and then look around. There, on the front table, is a stunning specimen of a man, sitting down with a plain office worker if I had to guess.

I give the rest of my band the sign that we are taking a break, and then come down from the stage. Girls, and more than a couple of boys, mob me. I chat with them for a while, and then manage to extract myself from them, and go to the beauty.

He is athletic, with caramel skin, gorgeous blue eyes, and his six-pack is well pronounced under his shirt. I know just what I will be snacking on tonight. Mm…

Next to him, the regular Joe, with his brown hair-brown eyes combo, is just plain. I don't think I will have any problems snatching mister gorgeous from Plain Jane.

"Hey, there, lovebirds! Enjoying the show?" I ask them, looking straight into the eyes of the pretty fly.

"I could have sworn I heard this song you have just sung before. But I can't pinpoint from where," the short stick in the looks department tells me, excited as can be.

I turn towards him.

"I like to sing from the soul. Perhaps we are soulmates?" I wink at him, and he chuckles. There is a lovely blush on his cheeks, which makes him a tad bit more… I can't place it, really.

"When are you going to resume singing?" Ah, it seems mister gorgeous is not amused at my flirting. I place a hand on the back of my neck. A habit that I can't seem to shake.

"I just need a break for my voice, m'kay? How about this, I will tell you the lyrics of one of the songs I still have in an incubator, and you can tell me if it will be a hit?" Before they can protest, I snatch a chair from a neighboring table, and make myself comfortable.

"Oh, really? I mean, shouldn't you keep it a secret until you make it official?" The plain guy asks, his eyes sparkling with mirth.

"Well, with the communication arrays down, and with the two of you promising that you won't sell the text, I think that I can entrust you this song," I say, and then sing them "Can't help falling in love".

Mister plain is enjoying himself, and he even manages to sing along. Which… how does he know the lyrics? Is Andrew selling my texts again? Darn it, Andrew. You and your dope money!

"I hate to disappoint, but I think I have heard the song before," plain says, and then looks at gorgeous. "Marius, have you heard this song before? I mean, I remember it was a hit."

"No, never," now, I think my chances with gorgeous fly out the window, the more plain seems to like me. Hm, is this actual attraction? Well, opposites do attract. 

Seeing as I don't feel like going home with second best, I wink at them, and then stand up.

"Well, if you have heard this song, I will have to think up a different text, m'kay? Enjoy your evening, lovebirds," I then turn around, and go after easier prey.

The life of the best pop music celebrity in this world is not too much different from the life I imagined, back on Earth.

Endless hock-ups, fame and applause. Not to mention that the alcohol runs down my gullet like a river. And the demon lord? Not my problem, m'kay? K.

Marius grew suspicious, once Joe sang along with the singer. For, he had never heard this song before, and he knew, that neither should have Joe heard it. Outside the tavern, Marius corners Joe.

"Are you a Hero of Ultimate Fate? I won't tell anyone, if you come clean," Marius said, a frown marring his handsome face.

"Well, I don't know? Don't the heroes remember everything they have lived through, in their past life? The thing is, that I sometimes remember names of people I have never met. Like, Shannon, you, the singer who hit on you," Marius blinked at the admission.

"Well, his name is on the poster outside the door," Marius pointed at the poster in question, and Joe shook his head.

"Not his fake name. His real name. That is why I played coy with him. I knew that it will piss you off, and that he would leave, when he saw that the feeding ground is taken," Joe told Marius with a wink.

The former demon lord huffed, and then took Joe by the hand. He would let him enjoy his victory, for now.

Hero of Ultimate Fate, yes, but also Lich Lord. Sometimes, memories are best left buried. Yet, the ticking time bomb that is Joe is now joined by another. For, Marius begins to dream about swimming under the waves, with a tail, instead of legs.

Can he forgive?
