[Author Notes: To enjoy this bonus chapter, please go to Soundcloud and search for White Storm Entertainment. There you will find playlists for Aizah and other known or not yet introduced artists/bands like the newly introduced Dante, another by Ann, and a Mink band called Buffy & The Bared Fangs. Each of them has been AI-generated using their characters and everything else to make their music. I hope you all enjoy it!]
Somewhere on the Grand Line...
(Aizah's stage)
It is pitch black on the stage while ethereal and heavenly noises break through from within the silence, giving off a gentle feeling.
The screen on the backdrop shifts from pitch black to clouds and islands on those clouds, where people with angelic white wings on their backs live.
A single lone figure is sitting on the edge of the clouds overlooking the vast seas and tiny islands below.
She takes one final look behind her before throwing herself off the edge of the cloud, causing her to free-fall.
Her wings open, causing her to descend slowly, before the screen shifts to a new angle below, no longer showing her, and the words 'Descending' appear in the middle of the video playing.
The spotlight turns on, bringing Aizah to the centre of attention, and the music begins with heavy instrumentation, riffs and a structure that blends cute melodies and idol aesthetics of pop with the structure of heavy metal.
The music built up until Aizah began to sing.
Her voice was very angelic and ethereal as she was singing the intro with a broad and versatile mix of operatic power and rock belting soprano vocal range. "A silent pull, a measured grace. Kinetic slumber, losing space."
The verse followed up with her melodic vocals, adding catchy hooks. "Newton's echo in the air. Velocity's promise, a weightless prayer. Aerodynamics whisper low. Angles of attack, where shadows grow."
Shadows fell from above as figures descended from above on the stage held up by wires until they were lowered to the ground.
They began dancing moments later with a lot of energy to the music as they followed along with Aizah's movements.
An anthemic chorus kicked in. "Descending, a spiral flight. Gravity's rhythm, dark and bright. From soaring heights to depths unknown, a falling empire, overthrown."
The crowd began to chant and cheer to the powerful music as they got into it.
One song passed one after another until there was a disturbance in the middle of a song being performed.
Aizah looked over to see pirates gathered and approaching her on the stage.
One of them sneered with greed in his eyes, holding out a gun toward her. "Give yourself up. A big star like you will surely fetch a hefty price."
His and his group's intentions were very clearly shown, but Aizah showed no panic.
A signal was given, and the music changed suddenly.
She continued to hold her mic to her mouth and began to sing again. "Steel heart, steady hand. Revolving steel, across the land. My domain, my sacred ground. No trespassers will be found."
Her body suddenly moved as if sensing danger, but instead of dodging, she pointed her finger toward the trajectory of it.
Her finger was coated in Haki as it met the path of the bullet, resulting in the bullet's path halting before it dropped to the ground.
Something suddenly flew into her hand once she reached out in another direction, and she pointed it toward one of the people on the stage with her finger on the trigger. "Crimson dawn, a shadowed threat. They come to steal, they won't forget. The force I wield, a fiery grace, protecting all within this space."
It was her six-cartridge launcher that she aimed at him and showed no hesitation when she pulled the trigger, causing the first cartridge to fire directly on target.
It exploded upon reaching him, causing a small display of fireworks to hit them. "Locked and loaded, a spinning might. Cartridge symphony, burning bright. BOOM POW! The echoes ring. My arsenal, a powerful thing."
The group were dealt with before the song had a chance to finish, resulting in the concert returning to its original energy.
It could even be said that things had been hyped up even more by the sudden change of pace.
A final encore came from the crowd demanding more before Aizah stepped back onto the stage, and the final song began. "Sunrise burning, a celestial fire. Painting shadows higher."
The verse began. "Born beneath a rising sign. A blueprint etched, a design. Astrology whispers, a cosmic guide. Revealing currents, the turning tide."
The chorus follows the verse. "Ascending, rising, a forceful grace. Leaving echoes in time and space. Scales of starlight, a vibrant climb. Reaching for futures, Defying time."
The music kept going until the final chorus ended, and the outro began to set the mood for the end of the concert. "Higher, higher, the spirit flies. Reflecting boundless skies. A constant motion, a graceful plea. Eternally rising, eternally free."
The overall concert had a total of fourteen songs from her album 'Trajectories', and it began with the descent and ended with an ascent symbolising her coming down from Sky Island and her spiritual and personal rise since then.
One of the songs had Ann appear on stage with her as they sang the Red and Green song together, which could be altered slightly to be sung solo or as a duet.
{Buffy & The Bared Fangs)
Darkness filled the concert halls as the spotlights shone on the drums, mic stand, bass and vocals.
Each of them had a member of the Mink Tribe in place as the music began, as they started to perform their songs as a part of their 'Wild Ones' album.
The energy was high as a result of their pop punk energy that blended punk rock's energy with catchy pop melodies featuring fast drumming, catchy guitar riffs, prominent basslines and energetic rhythms.
The cat mink standing at the mic stand was Buffy, and she was centre stage.
She had cream fur with a lithe body, and her hair was dyed a light green with light blue gradient hair ends.
Her hair was medium length and wavy, covering both of her eyes, while she was dressed in a punk rock style featuring a hoodie, jeans, a chain belt and a wallet chain.
She opened her mouth as the music began, and her natural Mink Tribe and cat-like speaking habits came out right away, giving her a unique sound.
Her voice was soft, sweet-sounding and slightly raspy while she incorporated melodic, emotional, expressive and engaging pop-rock energy and attitude. "Mrow-teia, feel the spark."
Her hand opened as she raised it to the sky.
Sparks began to gather around her hand as her Electro was activated. "Tiny paws, a silent grace. Electro hums within this place. You-teia tremble, feel the might. A mink's embrace, electric light. Grachu, little one, so sweet. Charging up, a pulsing beat."
Unlike Aizah or the other artists, a lot of the songs were specific to the Mink Tribe in the way they introduced their culture and other details.
Some songs were a little too early to release right away due to them being a little too rebellious or against the current world system, so their delays had to be released for a time so that they could hold greater influence and bring in more profits.
[Author Notes: Ann only has one song so far, but her EP/Album playlist is called Phantoms]
{Ann's Concert)
Vibrant displays and illusions are created on screen or through the lighting.
Others are materialised by her ability that brings pictures to life as phantoms or projections.
Electronic dance music began with pulsing beats and catchy melodies that included dynamic build-ups and drops.
The catchy elements created an electrifying atmosphere that encouraged movement and connection among the audience.
Infectious beats and uplifting hooks set the mood for energising the dance floor, while her voice came in as her body slowly emerged from within the illusions created.
Her kind, spunky, bright and ditzy personality came through as she put all of her spirit into a diva style of singing that demanded attention from all around. "Sparkle dust and neon glow. Got a secret, don't you know? Fingertips ignite the scene. Living pictures, vivid and keen."
Pieces of paper were in her hands, causing new illusions to come to life according to the lyrics she was singing. "Touch a postcard, faded blue. Suddenly, a world was brand new. Palm Trees swaying, ocean bright. Pulling sunshine into the night."
The final chorus ended, and the outro came. "Phantomize the ordinary. Extraordinary, don't you agree? Sparkle fades, the visions' done. But the magic lingers, everyone."
The concert continued with the same energy as most of her songs had been based around phantoms and her Devil Fruit ability, resulting in her album being called Phantoms, while some had more of a diva and attention-grabbing feel to them, reflecting her personality and image.
(Dante's Concert)
The concert of Dante would be performed as a part of his boy band or male idol group, as he performs as the bad boy of the group, performing solo raps mostly and joining in for the group chorus.
His solo career primarily features rap featuring dreamy and cohesive electropop sounds mixed with his tenor voice that has a gritty, confident and energetic delivery.
There may even be an appearance of Alyssia Lucine if she can appear or if he is brought to appear on stage with her during her single performance of Kan-Gar-Chu!
[Author Notes: Possible teaser/story after finishing Kan-Gar Chu! Xena Lucine is in her late teens and has lived a pampered life, but goes off to accomplish something herself after feeling unfulfilled. The setting is her finding a run-down talent agency that is broke and failing, so she joins to start at the very bottom. Her music is featured on Soundcloud and can be found by searching for FoxX or Xena Lucine.]
{Xena's Concert)
A small stage and concert hall that has been booked.
The stage itself has poor lighting and everything else, while the crowd watching is still very small for a starting star.
A girl in her late teens walks onto the stage, greeting each member of the audience warmly, not missing a chance to show off her appeal.
She has long white hair with gradient pink hair ends, while her bangs cover one of her red eyes.
On top of her head are a pair of white fox ears, and she has a white fox tail that moves about energetically as she begins to sway and move to the music that is catchy and nostalgic, with a trance beat with distinctive but simple synth melodies, driving beats and processed vocals.
She begins to sing in a melodic and slightly emotional way.
The vibe is nostalgic and energetic, and her voice is processed with a Vocaloid voice effect, which adds to the overall feel of the music. "Dust and echoes in the halls. A crumbling kingdom, where shadows fall. This fragile stage is my starting place. A broken dream, a fading grace."
The audience is very small, but they are into the catchy music that makes them want to move their bodies, while some wave around glowsticks. "Stone by stone, a whispered plea. For solid ground beneath my feet, you see. This agency is old. A story waiting to unfold. Leaky ceilings, cracked and worn. A hopeful heart, a spirit born. To rise above, to break the chain. And build a castle in the rain."
Her every move was choreographed to blend with the vibe and words of the music, showcasing her abilities as an idol who had grown up around artists of the White Storm like Ann and Aizah.
She wished to achieve something herself by starting at the bottom without relying on her connections.
Most of her songs fit that overall vibe of being used to luxury but wanting things that are more meaningful to her that cannot be gained through money and that cannot just be given.
What she seeks is to feel fulfilled from achieving something herself and to enjoy the finer things in life that can only be gained through hardship and taking on challenges without taking the easy way.
[Author Notes: As I have said, it could become a potential side story involving Xena, and to explore the One Piece world many years after the World Government is removed, and the dawn has come for the new age. I have many other projects that could be started again by the time I finish KGC, if I can manage to finish it, but I will see what I may work on once I have freed up my time by completing it.]
