016 ♪ [video]
[Here's a scene you've seen before: Troy, a park, the camera set up to film him. After last nights little stunt, it has to be said that although COMPLETELY TIRED, Troy has been incredibly smug with himself. It had been the first time he'd really got to try out his powers to any full extent and possibly by luck, actually control them successfully. So who better to boast to this about than his current trainer?
So, there's Danny just in sight of the video, already look exhausted and yawning, which is probably not being helped by Troy's extreme hyperactivity.]
Dude. I swear, this is so worth it!
Uh-huh...
I am like, totally pwning with my powers right now. You gotta see it for real, right. And I even got us an audience cause so many dudes loved the tuneage last night. [A quick wink at the camera.] You guys even get a change from the pop tunes.
Okay...
[Troy's checking he's in a good position for being seen in the camera feed, stifling a yawn- god he's so tired- and then replacing it once more with a massive grin.
And then it starts. Music kicking in from nowhere with nothing but a simple flick of his head, heavy guitar riffs and banging drums as Troy entertains himself with air guitaring along and headbanging.]
You made promise of protection
To a future after life
To the final resurrection
And to eternal paradise!
[Even as the first words leave his lips- a lot more melodic than Ozzy- the park scenery surrounding Troy and Danny seem to shimmer away, being replaced by snow. A gateway. A huge fucking gateway that lights up, glows and then seems to slip away like the previous scene.]
But then I'm blinded with temptation
And to every mortal sin
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Or will the darkness suck me in?
[And then theres... Hell. There's no better way to describe it than somewhere that looks unmistakably like Hell. Ugly, glowing eyed, fat demons, with an array of chained prisoners-- does one of those look just a bit like a bearded Danny?-- in front of an imposing caped figure with an epic fu-manchu 'tash going on. They're in front of him, then they're not, the scenes changing so damn quick it's almost as if Troy's paying no attention to what's even going on, whereas Danny is developing a look of pure panic and horror at the sights.
It doesn't help when the two of them are then standing in the middle of some strange fight scene. That bearded-guy-that-looks-like-Danny grappling with demon upon monster, getting his ass royally handed to him at times while the song keeps flowing.]
Let's wake up the dead
Oh yeah
It's better that never you know
More tears are shed
Oh yeah
I'm praying that you'll never know
That I'm facing hell!
Oh the children sit and listen
The belief was in their eyes
In a land without tomorrows
Through the night you hear their cries.
[As the chorus drifted into another verse, the fight scene drifted from bearded-guy-that-looks-like-Danny on his knees after a recent beat up, to him kneeling before that imposing-guy-in-the-cloak. A faceless creature plucks him up without effort and by God it's obvious Troy's too lost in the music now because he's not even noticing as the figure gets strung from the ceiling, hanging impaled by two hooks through his wrists and being branded with hot iron. It's fucked up, and Danny's still in camera's view to display by facial expression alone that it's seriously wrong.]
But then your eyes just skip the pages
Of a book that never ends
Is it God that sits there waiting?
Do you hear the call aga--
TURN THAT DAMN THING OFF!
[That's enough. Troy's suddenly snapping back to some sense of reality as he stops his headbanging long enough to look surprised at Danny's sudden outburst, and then there's a grapple to get to the comm and switch it off to leave viewers with nothing more than static.
... Uh-oh...]
