Video Game: Kingdom Hearts SOS: The Road To Light

There was nothing in that world that could prepare one for what happened next; opening his mouth, Glen began doing his best to scream death metal, only to realize as screamo is not a valid kind of music he needed to do something else, so instead he began singing along to the violitar's rockin' out music, the classic known as Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. It was pretty epic.

Being accompanied by a singing voice, Stratos kept on playing the violitar, letting loose terrible sound after terrible sound. However, all good, (or in this case bad) things had to come to an end, and so Stratos discarded the violin after playing it enough. The next that Stratos did was go to play, and subsequently ruin, another classic instrument. Sitting down at an Organ piano, Stratos cracked his knuckles as the boy started to go to musical work. He wasn't entirely sure which keys made what noise, so the only real way to find out was start hitting them at random. And that's just what the boy did. Sliding his fingers up and down all the keys, a lovely noise that only a deaf person could mistake for actually lovely resounded throughout the field, dealing the damage he needed to do against the rat man.

Beuce, now that he'd finished doing exactly what the others were doing, picked up a triangle. Just a triangle. Now, how does one play a triangle with one arm, you ask? Hell, how does one play the majority of these with one hand? Luckily for Beuce he was a GRANDMASTER GENIUS EXTRAORDINAIRE and hadn't been helping for the first ten posts because he was inventing one handed versions of all the instruments present so he could play them. And so, he began to play his one handed triangle. I could explain the inner workings of such an advanced device but it would likely be lost on you.

After jamming out on the organ, Stratos then heard that the beat was being picked up by Beuce, playing the majestic triangle. The boy looked at the instrument that the man was playing and couldn't help be baffled by what he saw, as if the very existence of what was going on defied all common sense and logic. Stratos then remembered who he was watching play this instrument and once again said, "right right. Still makes sense." Moving on to the next instrument of his own, the boy went to go play one of the most versatile, harmonic and melodious instruments that ever did exist. Picking it out kazoo, Stratos started to play renditions of all the most notable songs in Earth history, which was a wonder how the non-earth boy even knew about them to begin with, and boy did he play them.

Since Kaida was going a bit slower than the others with this, she moved over to the instrument next to her. She reached for a big tuba that was easily almost the 3/4 the size of her and she picked it up and started jamming a theoretical baseline to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. As far as she could tell this chaos of instruments didn't sound very cohesive in the slightest. But maybe in the end it would all be worth it?

Raisor fired another blast at Mortimer Mouse, blowing up the ground near the foe's feet.

 

After having played the gracious kazoo, Stratos then went back to doing what he did best. Mangling string instruments so that all who heard it wish they never heard it again. Looking around for something else for himself to play, Stratos saw a fish just floating about. Grabbing the fish, he examined that there was some kind of strings across the bass fish, effectively turning it into a lower sound guitar. Playing the fish, Stratos let loose the noise of the Symphonia towards the rat man once again, trying to be his own one man rock band here.

As the music began to become even louder, Glen laid his hands on the guitar. The instrument felt powerful in his hands, and with it he knew he could make music so amazing babies would learn to walk and dance on the day they were born upon hearing it. So, he immediately began playing with all the passion in his heart, his fingers moving lightning quick and his rhythm on point.

After playing the fish, the Stratos then went on to destroy more favorite instruments by going over to the hickest of instruments he could find. The Banjo. Grabbing the hickville instrument, Stratos then realized that he couldn't actually play it as he didn't have the finger picks that were needed for it, and so he decided to invent the pickless banjo instead. Which is to say he just used his fingers as regular, making the already odd sounding instrument just sound absolutely god awful. But hey, when did that ever stop the boy from playing an instrument before?

As Stratos grabbed the banjo, Glen tossed aside the guitar like it was riddled with some kind of heinous disease or something and leaped over to..uh...the flute. He picked up that flute and began playing like he was the pied piper himself, attempting to control Mortimer through the power of epic music. It was like a riverdance theme or something, pouring his heart and soul and precious little else into his performance.

Kaida moved next to play the oboe, because the oboe is pretty awesome and she didn't particularly find these past few instruments classy enough and since it was already a chaos of instruments she didn't see a loss in quality by just doing whatever at this point. Kai then realized she couldn't exactly play the oboe either, but she tried her best to use her saxophone skills with it. It was tolerable, though the pitch went off every few seconds like reed instruments can do.

Beuce grabbed a flute and pressed it to his lips with one hand. He began to play a song. A song which many had heard before. In fact, if you'd ever heard any song, this was probably its title. Especially if you asked what it was in some kind of comment section or something. It started off quiet with dodo do dodo do do do do do do Do do do do do do do do and then it picked up with a Do Do Do Do Dodododo....Dodododo...Dodododo dodododo dodododo dododododododo and it built up to a dodododo dodododo dododoDodo dodododododo do dodododo Do dodododo dododododDododododo Dododododadodododo

 

Deciding to write ahead of time so she could go right after the next person's switch, Kaida ran on over and picked up a french horn. Since Kaida had no resemblance of french in her, it just sounded like any old horn that was a bit sharp and she did her best with it but it was clear Kaida's playing ability was getting worse and worse with each unfamiliar instrument she played. It couldn't get much worse that this she hoped to whatever divine being above.

Getting right into the music-playing madness, Glen found the next instrument his eyes found. He found the electric triangle and you'd better believe he picked that up and began playing it. He was racing around and building up the momentum as the heavenly sounds pierced peoples' eardrums, enabling a soothing sensation that simultaneously convinced them that defeating the mouse was possible. The mouse was doomed, Glen was certain of it. Through the power of friendship and sound, they would surely prevail.

After getting rid of the hick instrument, Stratos then went on to play something else. Something he'd need a lot of strength to wield and not much of it. Walking over to another stringed fish, this one was far noticeably larger than the one he had played prior. However, in order to play this one, rather than a pick he needed something known as a bow. But Stratos wasn't a ranger and most certainly wasn't an archer; after all archers were made up of archers and which just went to show why he wasn't one of them. So instead, he took out his keyblade and started to try and play it with his keyblade, after all you could turn the keyblade into anything right? Wait. Stratos then realized that he actually didn't know how to turn a keyblade into a bow, cementing even further that he was no archer, and so instead just kind of slid the keyblade across the strings of the giant fish.

But the triangle wasn't enough, the keyslinger without a key at that time needed more! Tossing aside the triangle, he made his way over to the trombone. What followed can only be described as a disaster, in fact cats being strangled probably sounded more beautiful than the sounds he was making from that thing, but the point is he tried and the limit had never specified they had to be played successfully.

Then Kaida ran for the marimbas. Do you even know what a marimba is reader? It's basically exactly what Glen was doing with the beer bottles except much larger and often mistaken for a xylophone but shame shall be brought upon thee for thinking so! After all such class an elegance can only be achieved through the echo of metal keys bouncing off walls to create excellent masterpieces... that Kaida couldn't play to save her life so instead she played a scale.

With Glen on a trom's bone, Beuce on the sandstorm and Kaida on the Mexico, Stratos knew he needed to help out this ensemble with something else. And so he went to go play an instrument that most people probably knew of. An instrument that existed in all childhoods, one that most were forced to play and listen to but literally never saw outside of the first few years of school. That was right, Stratos went to play the all too harmonic glockenspiel. However, he didn't have the stick to hit the notes with, so instead he started just pounding against them with his keyblade to make some noise in the room, and deal with the rat.

Kaida then ran for the percussive instruments and grabbed a tambourine and just jammed for the rest of the time since she was pretty sure they were reaching maximum sick beats levels of amazing wonderful music. And tambourines are pretty tame and she could dance to this mess of a beat should she choose to. But she didn't. She just stood there with a deadpan expression hitting the tambourine to a syncopated beat.

Throwing the flute to the ground after having perfectly recited the glory of techno on it. He decided he no longer needed these petty tools. His voice was the only instrument he'd ever need. Placing his singular hand onto his chest, Beuce opened his lips and let out a sound that not many could fully comprehend the beauty of. A perfect translation did not exist. Well at least not in your language, but if you must know, well picture this. Fifty billion rainbows and the sun is setting and the moon is setting also and you're there in a gazebo and then God descends from heaven and he gives you a million dollars. Take that feeling and put it into a song. I could translate, but that'd take too long. I've got stuff to do. I don't have time for this. you gotta trust me, this freaking song is brilliant.
