Stitch Five [Visual] - April 1st after the initial attack.

[The scrolls will glow. Open it at your leisure. 'Cause Kanji's feeling fiery as hell and can only find one outlet for it... for now.]

[He's lying on a mat at first, but he planted his hooves and is forcing himself upright from what shelter he'd been taken to. His legs are shaky and his eyes are dull from the loss of his magic, and at first his voice is raspy...]

W-we're not gonna take it...

[He took a deep breath, grit his teeth, and sucked in a breath. This is his first time, be gentle. Time to stop being shy. It had to happen eventually, right? He knew this song among many others. Maybe it'd been sung before, he didn't know. But it was appropriate for right now. Have some slightly-abridged Twisted Sister!]

NO! We ain't gonna take it!

We're not gonna take it anymoooore!

We've got the right to choose, and
there ain't no way we'll lose it

This is our life, this is our song!

We'll fight the powers that be, just,
don't pick our destiny 'cause
YOU DON'T KNOW US
you don't belong!

We're not gonna take it-
NO! We ain't gonna take it!

We're not gonna take it anymooooore!

[His scowl deepens, his voice stronger now. Eyes on what passes for the camera on this thing.]

Oh, you're so condescending
your gall is never-ending
we don't want nothin', not a thing from you!

Your life is trite and jaded,
boring and confiscated,
if that's your best, your best won't do!

Oh...
Oh...

We're right!
We're free!
We'll fight!
You'll see!

We're not gonna take it!
NO, we ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it anymoooore!

We're not gonna take it!
NO, we ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it anymooooore!

JUST YOU TRY AND MAKE US!

We're not gonna take it!
NO, we ain't gonna take it!
We're not gonna take it anymoooore!

[Good. He feels better. Maybe someone else out there feels better, too. It tired him out, but he wasn't about to show it. But even though they were dull, his eyes sharpened the best they could as he rolled the scroll shut, ending the feed.]

...This ain't a ploy to get on my back, is it?

[Busted, bear.]

[Damn, Kanji is one smart zombie.]

N-Nooooooo...?

[Visual]

[topgun_textiles]

What gives, anyway? Why's it gotta be MY back?

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

Well, duh, you got the biggest back, and I'm a growing boy.




...And I guess I just talk to you more lately.

[Visual]

[topgun_textiles]

...Yeah... I guess it's been kinda crazy lately, huh?

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

Yeah, but...I don't think it's anything we can't handle.

[He gives a tiny smile. Despite everything, he really does believe that.]

Even if you do become my weird cowboy rocker zombie pal.

[topgun_textiles]

... What if I told you I'm not actually gonna be a zombie?

[Visual]

[kingofthetvworld]

Well see? Things are already starting to look up! That's all the proof I need.

[He chuckled.]

Do whatcha can to help the others. Just stay outta trouble, Ted.
