*On the next day*

As the Storm Academy were closed due the incident yesterday, the principal held an event called "The Battle Of The Bands" which it was held at Nature Academy's stadium. Both principals of Storm and Nature Academy were bestfriends, as the students both Nature and Storm were finding their place to look for a good view for the bands whose going to perform at the stage, while the different bands were preparing their gears, drum kit, guitar's string if they still work and etc. As they were ready to perform the speakers or the people who are in charge to handle the event speaking about what is are the name of different bands and whose going to perfrom first. At the backstage, the people whose going to perform were both nervous and excited as they waiting to perform they prayed first then perform. In the meantime the event was now begun. After few hours, as the bands were finished perform the two speakers were enjoy the performance but man speaker stated " Hey guys I have good news". The girl asked " What is it Kevin?" A man name Kevin replied "Well I've heard that the band of Maelstrom led by Vincent that they have a new member of their band!! When the people heard Kevin's statement the people in the stadium were shouting in excitement especially the girl speaker. Kevin shouted " Ladies and gentlemen I present you Maelstrom!!! let's give them around of applause". The people were clapping their hands while shouting in excitement as the speakers left and stand at the corner, as they saw light on the big screen and they saw a silhouetted man in unknown clothes and they heard voice starting to sing.

Fall in and fall away

This love is in retrograde

Fall in and fall away

I can see the darkness

As the people were shouting as they recognize the voice and then

MANIFEST!

They saw Maelstrom band performing in front of them, they saw Vincent dancing as he was enjoying the music, Jester and Gabriel whose playing their electric guitars, Peter whose playing the violin, Richard also playing his electric guitar with a electric piano beside him and they didn't saw Hank sitted in his favorite drum but they saw Hank standing with his double bass then they were shocked that the new student of Storm Academy and also a new member of Maelstorm band was John McCain Kennedy himself. The people were enjoyed and start dancing as the band perform their new songs, then Vincent started to sing.

Gravity

I pull on you

Close enough to rendezvous

You come to me and then you slip right through

I'm in the solitude

Why's it always touch and go?

Now we'll never even know what it's like

Left me in the afterglow

Till I'm falling through space and time

Starlight, star bright

You've got your missiles flying through the air tonight

And it's alright, alright

I think I'm getting used to the fire fight

'Cause you fall in and fall away

This love is in retrograde

Fall in and fall away

I kinda think you like this

Regress!

Fall in and fall away

There's something in the hate we make

Fall in and fall away

I can see the darkness

MANIFEST!

Every time I'm on to you

You change it up

You always do

So tell me why you've gotta bring your guns

It's Armageddon

This is always touch and go

Now we'll never even know what it's like

Left me with no place to go

Now I'm falling through space and time

(Time)

Starlight, star bright

Every night you're dimmer, have you finally fell?

You said it's alright, alright

But I've been getting ready for the bombshell

'Cause you fall in and fall away

This love is in retrograde

Fall in and fall away

I kinda think you like this

Regress!

Fall in and fall away

There's something in the hate we make

Fall in and fall away

I can see the darkness

Is my fate silver-lined?

I always was the optimist

But I never thought of this

Stuck in this state

Misaligned

Trapped inside the looking glass

Tell me, when will all this pass?

As the people feel the atmosphere and soon they were enjoyed the flow of the music.

Oh, how I hate the silver line!

Never could taste your life

Never my place in time

My hate, left behind

Never your state of mind

Never in phase with mine

'Cause you fall in and fall away

This love is in retrograde

Fall in and fall away

I kinda think you like this

Regress!

Fall in and fall away

There's something in the hate we make

Fall in and fall away

I can see the darkness

MANIFEST!

As the band continues to perform after 2 minutes, they were finished. The people were cheered at the band and Vincent steps at the edge of the platform, "Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, I am Vincent and this were Gabriel, Peter, Jester, Hank, Richard, and our newest member John and we are the Maelstrom!!! The people were cheered and shouting as they supporting them. "As you heard a new song called 'Manifest' made by Starset and also they have new songs, if you are interested we can sing for you is that alright?" Vincent said as he put a mic in front of the people. And the people replied "YES!!!" Vincent smiled and started to sing then the violin started to play.

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We're motivated by the scars that we're made of

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We take our places in the dark

And turn our hearts to the stars

Hear me from the bottom

Forged in regret, I'm the silversmith

Doomsday

You had it coming

Marching the streets with an iron fist

Obey no more in silence

The steel in our hearts will be monuments

Today, they'll hear the violence

We'll rise from the dark like Lazarus

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We're motivated by the scars that we're made of

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We take our places in the dark

And turn our hearts to the stars

The ending won't be forgotten

It's written in the stars and the hieroglyphs

Sending the lionhearted

The stones break bones, but we're venomous

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We're motivated by the scars that we're made of

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We take our places in the dark

And turn our hearts to the stars

Calling, calling

We've come out to play

Show me, show me a new way

Slowly, slowly, they've led you astray

Away we go now into the fray

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We're motivated by the scars that we're made of

These trials make us who we are, who we are, we are

We take our places in the dark

And turn our hearts to the stars

The people were enjoyed and follow the song, they clapped their hands as they were enjoyed the songs and they shouted one more. The band looked at each other them nodded in confirmation and they started to play..

In a restless search for new opportunities and new ways of living

The mystery and the promise of distant horizons

Always have called men forward

We are the lost and the silent

We are the shackled and small

We're looking up at the giants

We're going to watch when they fall

Do you hear me?

You're a goliath to me

I'll be there when the bombs unfurl, 'til the war is over

Lay your burdens on me

I can bear all the weight of the world with you on my shoulders

We won't just fall away

We weren't just born to fade

Our stories are past the horizon

We're chasing the sun till we find them

Goodbye to what we made

No matter anyway

We're climbing until we transcend

Higher, higher to where the skies end

These aren't the dreams of our fathers

There'll be no wishing on stars

We are the sons and the daughters

Let them come test who we are

Can you hear me?

You're a goliath to me

I'll be there when the guns break out, 'til the storm is over

Lay your burdens on me

I'll be there when your fate runs out, you'll be on my shoulders

We won't just fall away

We weren't just born to fade

Our stories are past the horizon

We're chasing the sun till we find them

Goodbye to what we made

No matter anyway

We're climbing until we transcend

Higher, higher to where the skies end

We left our chains

We left them below

We are all rising above

We were not born to stay low

Show me your strength

It's more than you know

You'll never know what you're made of

Until you set foot down the road

We knew this day was set long ago

And when the sharks smell the blood

They will all see it's their own

Own, own, own, own

We won't just fall away

We weren't just born to fade

Our stories are past the horizon

We're chasing the sun 'til we find them

Goodbye to what we made

No matter anyway

We're climbing until we transcend

Higher, higher to where the skies end

The crowd cheered at the music that the Maelstrom band performed, the group left the stage and proceed to the backstage to wait for the votes, as the crowd chanting at the name of Maelstrom.....
