45 minutes later, Heber yawned, "Geez, my ears are ringing. Can't anyone just play something?"
"Here you go, stay hydrated and drink a lot's of water." Poseidon handed them each a water bottle together with Ezekiel.
"Thanks." replied Helios as sweat dripped his forehead.
"What can we play? We are already being played by in the hands of fate. What could be worse than this?" Feng panted, as Ryan wiped his sweat.
Cassiel concentrating on fixing Azazel's phone stared at the screen and the battery, while Azazel prayed beside him. Kenzo walking forward stared at the empty road. Xavier and Seraph glanced at him breathless.
Suddenly Feng looked behind staring confused, "Hun? Was someone there a moment ago…?" he thought uneasy.
"Hm~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ aea~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ hum, hum~ he oh~" Instantly Helios hummed.
Hearing his rhythm the middle schoolers perked up. "Wah! It's that song!!" Adam cheered recognizing the melody. "Yeah, how nostalgic." wondered Xavier as Kenzo smirked.
Shortly after he ended Ezekiel started to whistle creating a euphonious sound next.
"Come on! Let's sing it, once Ezekiel ends!" Heber hyped. "Yup! And the moment my phone gets fixed, I'll play it." Azazel concurred. Kenzo glancing at him rolled his eyes, "Charge it first, you rascal!" "Your highness, it has a substitute battery, the moment it turns into guest mode it begins to work." Azazel informed.
The boys hearing him stared speechless. "You should've said that before…" whispered Ryan as Ezekiel shook his head in disbelief.
"But, a new SIM won't work since, it would need to go through the activation process." explained Cassiel. The boys turned around.
"Not that it matters, guys. Stop talking already and continue the song!" Heber jumped happily. The boys once again seeing Helios who still hummed pursued on as Feng began to click his fingers together joining alongside him, the others soon following.
"Hm~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ aea~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ hum, hum~ he oh~" they hummed together.
Their voice echoing throughout the highway.
"You start it first you fake king. Your voice suits the rhythm." Ryan sound as Adam nodded. "One line each, and the chorus altogether. How does it sound?" asked Cassiel. The boys agreed. Clicking his fingers Kenzo smirked.
As soon as the humming ended he sang, "Here they come, All of them~ each and every single one of them~" giving of a blasting grand start.
The middle schoolers hearing his voice rose up in delight. Soon after, Seraph continued, "Look! Blazing stars on earth~"
Taking up Poseidon sang, "They have shone becoming light~"
"Yes! Today there will be a strong game~" continued Adam jumping around.
"In the crowd's noise, in full strength~" sang Ryan delighted.
"You rock the earth today! ~" continued Heber alongside Azazel.
Xavier smiling sang, "Falling, jumping and pulling up~!"
Helios gazing at the sky ended, "Show your game today~!"
The fourteen of them clapping their hands gleamed singing the melody once again, "Hm~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ aea~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ hum, hum~ he oh~"
Azazel seeing his phone work once again smiled happily. Scrolling down he looked out clicking the screen. As soon as he clicked it the melody of the boys ended while the real song continued right from where they had left,
"Be careful and Play my dears~!"
The boys hearing the song behind them gleamed under the ardent sun. No tears, no sweat, no weakness or weariness showing their way they walked along singing together.
'Here, it's a game of life, of life~'
'Whether you lose or win, Hey! Just hit freely~!'
'Play here to your heart's utmost content~!'
Kenzo grasping the sight turned around to find the boys, enjoying themselves. Patting each other, singing with smiles, all pumped up and never giving up. The sight of kings as majestic as it could be covered cased a on his lips.
"I'll… never let it down again… their smiles will forever be resting on their faces…" he whispered.
Helios eyeing him beside Gabriel smiled, "Is that a vow of a king?" Kenzo hearing him responded, "No… it's a vow of their captain and their friend." "
Then, there should be that much vigor in your passion~!" sang Cassiel and Feng together.
Continued by Azazel and Ryan, "That rays become the bow with arrows of your order~!"
"The wind that would move on your cues~" took over Poseidon and Ezekiel.
And then, Kenzo smirking ended with a loud and mighty claim, "Play such as that you WIN the whole world~!!"
Just the second he ended. The boys tugging each other's shoulder hummed the melody again, ""Hm~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ aea~ Hey~ e ae~ aeao~ hum, hum~ he oh~!!"
Walking more than half of the distance. The music beating loud covered the entire highway, as if a parade of royalty marching its way.
Feng suddenly looked behind once again halting amid his steps "Again? Is it just me or is someone really following us?" he thought puzzled yet alerted at the same time.
"Really! This song is a boost! One of my favorite songs. His singer Herve Leon. A, I want to meet him and brag all about its greatness!" Ezekiel praised idolizing.
"Herve Leon. A hun, they say he is a travelling singer. His songs are worldwide famous. Moreover, every album he releases is a hit after hit. Such a talented boy. You know, he isn't even twenty right now and still a student on top of it!" Heber apprised awed. "Indeed, he is quite young for a legend. This song of his was released last year and right how it has exceeded billions of ratings." Cassiel informed.
"A legend hun… I wonder if I can ever meet him…" sighed Ezekiel in defeat as Adam and Ryan looked at each other puzzled.
"Why don't you go visit one of his concerts then?" advised Seraph.
Ezekiel looked at him hopeless, "His concerts are always internationally held. How am I supposed to go out to America, Dubai and Japan?" Xavier and Helios smiled as Poseidon blinked his eyes.
"But… didn't you just meet him a while ago. In fact, we all did." Poseidon said slightly surprised.
"Huh?!" Azazel and Ezekiel uttered shocked as Adam blinked his eyes.
"We did?" asked Helios astonished.
Cassiel looking at them wondered, "Seriously, you don't know?! He even sang before." The middle schoolers excluding Kenzo and Poseidon shook their heads in rejection.
"The one with long golden locks from the highschoolers side. Who sang at Cassiel's turn that was him." Kenzo recalled.
The middle schoolers looking at each other stood with their mouths a gape. "Heeeeh?!" they asked thunderstruck.
"It was him?! But how come? His stage hairs were always up and is rarely seen by others. So how come it's him?!" asked Ezekiel baffled.
Poseidon clarified, "Herve Leon. A. A stands for Aaron and once turned backwards Leon turns into Noel while Herve is his surname which he uses as his identity's first name. Moreover, didn't you find his voice familiar the moment he sang? I realized it that instant and later confirmed it with Cassiel. For the reason why he doesn't show up a lot is because he is also a famous cricketer. The whole world knows about it. In fact, I am the one who's more surprised wondering if I am his fan or you are."
Ezekiel hearing his words crouched on the ground in disbelief. "No way… And, I didn't even realize that I was alongside my idol since the beginning?!" he shrieked. Xavier patted his head. "Come on, there's no need to get sad over It." he consoled.
"But, I didn't even take his autograph…" Ezekiel replied with tears in his eyes. The boys eyeing him sighed as Kenzo stared at the path ahead which showed no end. "Cassiel, how long do you think we have travelled?" he asked.
Cassiel brought up his calculations, "We've walked over for 50 minutes and have passed 5 kilometers. Only 3 to 2 Kilometers must be left now."
Hearing his words the boys sighed relieved. "Thanks goodness~ I am so hungry~" cried Adam hugging Seraph who dabbed his back. "Good work, and just a little bit more." he encouraged.
"Let's continue, we might see the stop in no time." Gabriel told as the boys took a rest, energizing themselves up.
Kenzo seeing them halted for a while. "Let's take a break." Helios informed drinking water.
