Townsville Center Stage

Yumi lugs her guitar on stage and takes a seat at the edge of it. Grinning, the pop star strums a few chords on the instrument as she heads into a string of heavy metal beats right after. She really needed a break from Kaz and this was the best way to do it.

Maya Green peaks her head around the corner from backstage, staring at the rock star before being startled behind her.

Belladonna puts her hand on Maya's shoulder, stepping forward. The girls are wearing matching Gangreen Gang leather jackets. "The guys want us to spy on her...?"

Yumi starts to rock out hard, shredding a mean baseline. She didn't even notice anyone around her as she feels the music flowing. "Ami so should be here to watch this." The utters as she starts heading into the song into the fire and flames.

Everan walked toward the stage. He has carrying a backpack, whose contents were jingling every few steps. His head bobbed with the beat of the music as he approached. He stopped at the base of the stage and, not wanting to interrupt Yumi's rockin', quietly waited before trying to get her attention.

He was here because someone had called in about a speaker on the fritz. And, well, Everan was just the cheap, efficient labor for the job... Assuming it wasn't a prank call.

"She shreds, bro." Maya smirked, her four spiderlegs twitching. "Maybe youse and me need to ditch the green boys and start a band with her, Bella."

Belladonna rolls her eyes, still watching Yumi. "Like Ace would even allow that..." she scoffs, crossing her arms. "He's gonna kick you out for even thinkin' about that. She does shred, though."

Yumi finishes the song and grins like a mad woman, "Man, I love that rockin song." She puts down the guitar for a moment upon seeing the person below the stage in front of her, "Yo man, whats up?"

"Not much," Everan said shrugging, "I got a call in about a busted speaker here at center stage. I was hoping you could point me towards it."

"Nice shredding by the way," he adds, pointing to her guitar.

"Thanks, i just love that groups music that i was playing." Yumi answers, but her face turns to seriousness after the speaker, "Sorry can't help ya there, first I've heard of it."

"Ugh, figures," he said, leaning on the stage.

He sighed, holding his hand out, "Name's Everan, local fixer upper and professional new guy in town."

"Yumi, lead guitarist of the band HiHi Puff AmiYumi." The girl answers, taking the hand to shake it.

Everan shakes her hand, nods, and retracts. Hi Hi Puffy AmiYumi... Is it indie? He couldn't remember if he'd heard her music before now.

"Cool! So are you here for gig then? Or just stuck here 'cause of... y'know?" he asked, gesturing up to the sky at Planet Fuse.

"Well, I am here for a gig, but not exactly one for today. I'm just were to get away from my insane manager. We're not stuck here in Townsville, we got our van and head all over." Yumi answers, wondering if a local group was gonna have a concert here. Maybe she should stay and watch.

"Well, you could come to OUR gig!" Maya calls out, stepping into view and pulling Belladonna with her. The blonde turns on her heels, flashing the back of her jacket to the two to show off the Gangreen Gang's band logo. "We've got a sick gig comin' up right on this stage."

Belladonna blinks at the pair as she pulled into their line of sight. The rocker grimaces before forcing a wide grin. "The Gangreen Gang is Townsville's hottest new sound. We're signed with Harada-Bridges Records now."

"Seriously?" Yumi responds in an almost dead pan voice, not looking amused, "Kaz signed you for a deal."

"What's that supposed to mean?" Maya growls, her four alien spiderlegs suddenly alert and pointed at the pair.

Yumi just stares at Maya blankly, "It doesn't mean anything aside surprise that Kaz was signing more people."

Everan jumped a little when Maya jumped out. At first he was surprised, then curious. He recognized the two girls. But from where...? Then when Maya turned and Belladonna confirmed it, he figured it out.

He gasped, "The Gangreen Gang?! Here?"

"I don't know whether to laugh or cheer..." Everan thought, snickering to himself.

"Yeah, the Gangreen Gang is HERE!" Maya cheers as she turns back around. Her top two spiderlegs shoot spiderwebs off into the distance in excitement. "We're the Gang's back-up singers. I'm Maya Green. And this is my homegirl, Belladonna Green."

Belladonna starts to smirk, leaning on Maya's shoulder and sticking down her middle finger and ring finger to make a hand gesture. "Yeah, if you think that chick shreds, wait until you see my boys show you what a performance is all about."

"Yeah? Your boys?" Everan snickered, just able to keep himself from laughing.

He sighed, composing himself, "So then are you guys doing a show here tonight?"

Belladonna's face twitches at the man's reaction. "Our boys." She pushes herself off Maya and smacks her fist into her other hand, with a surprising amount of force for a teenage girl. "Is there a problem?"
