Chapter 12: Let's start the Show!

Saturday came very quickly. As soon as your alarm clock rang at 6am, you got up, got ready and went out for breakfast.


As soon as you entered the dining room, you saw Axl already sitting at the table, getting ready to eat. You nodded to him in greeting with a smile and sat down in your seat. 


Everyone else slowly sat up in their seats, rubbing their eyes, ridding themselves of sleep. Squirebots slowly brought you breakfast, which was great looking waffles.


- Hi, Macy! - you called out with a wry smile, grabbing your cup of coffee.


- Hi, (Y/N). Where's Lance? - she questioned, looking at the seat next to you.


You shrugged. - Posing in front of the mirror again.


Aaron entered the dining room with a sleepy step and sat down opposite you. You sent each other smiles and nods. The door opened again and Lance walked in with his hair already slicked back and a proud smile. You raised an eyebrow and the grin entered your face, as it did with the others. 


Under his nose was the green residue of the face mask he wears when he sleeps.


- Wow, Lance, cool style. - commented Clay, taking a sip of coffee from his mug, raising an amused eyebrow.


You all silently giggled, trying not to laugh. Lance raised an eyebrow slightly suprised, before a satisfied grin appeared on his face.


- Thanks, Boorington! Admittedly I wear one every day, but thanks for the compliment. - He said proudly, tossing back his hair.


You snorted with laughter. The others started eating, deciding not to tell the white knight what Clay had in mind specifically. However, you couldn't eat for anything, you were consumed by the nerves of the upcoming concert.


- (Y/N), you're not going to eat? - Macy asked, glancing at your plate of waffles.


- No. I don't feel like it. - You shrugged your shoulders, sliding your plate towards Axl, who took it eagerly.


- Why? After all you love waffles. - Clay said.


- Yeah, but... no... I just don't want to eat now. 


Everyone raised their eyebrows, before shrugging. Your knee bounced nervously when you looking around at the others.


- Clay. I won't be home today.


Clay raised a brow. - Why?


- I have to... I need to do some business in town. 


Clay nodded with a sigh, not liking the fact, that you're leaving. He had some new exercises for you guys to practice today. Everyone was silent for a moment and enjoying their meal when suddenly Macy squealed with excitement.


- Tonight is the Trouble Makers concert! And today is the reveal of Peacebreaker's identity!


You were in the middle of a sip of coffee, when she said this, you froze looking at her in horror, but quickly recovered.


- Yeah, I wonder who this mystery guy might be. - replied Aaron, scratching his cheek.


- Or a girl. - said Macy, throwing him an annoyed look.


Yeah. No doubt those two, along with Robin, were fans of your band, and Robin was among that group of fans who floated all sorts of theories about you.


- Probably some Instagram influencer or some musician, who's a total random. - said Lance.


You clenched your hand into a fist. Macy and Aaron began to impose different arguments on each other, when Clay, already slowly annoyed by their argument, said.


- Guys, calm down! You'll find out tomorrow... We'll find out, who she or he is. Now can we have breakfast in peace? Please and thank you.


- Today we will find out. - said Lance, taking a selfie for the hundredth time.


You all stopped and looked at him confused.


- What are you talking about, Lance. - hissed Macy at him.


The white knight looked at her fleetingly and snorted. - Please I'm Lance Richmond. The richest and famous knight in the kingdom. I have access everywhere and... - He paused for a moment before groaning. - I must admit, I'm a fan of the band too, so I've bought myself a special personal viewing of the concert broadcast, which means I'll be seeing it ,as if I were there.


While Lance was still bragging in front of knights, you started thinking. 


''Paid admission to the concert broadcast? I need to talk to Mari about it.''


- And you're telling us this because....? - Clay asked. 


Lance snorted again rolling his eyes.


- Gee... I mean you can actually watch the concert with me. - he said quickly, as if he didn't believe himself, what he was saying.


You all looked surprised at his words and looked at each other.


- Seriously, dude? I mean, Lance is offering us to watch the concert with him of our own free will? - Aaron asked.


- If something possessesed you, blink four times. - Axl said.


- Dude, that's really cool! Thanks! - exclaimed Aaron.


- I'm only doing this, because I'm also curious about who this whole Peacebreaker thing is. I originally wanted to quietly watch the broadcasts alone with my sweetheart and my personal therapist, to whom I owe a bit. - He stated, referring to you and Hamletta.


Aaron raised an eyebrow at this and grew more serious, however, he quickly shook his head and a smirk reappeared on his face.


- Well... I hope you record it for me, especially the Peacebreaker reveal! I won't be in until late unfortunately, but the sooner I go the sooner I'll be back. Lance, I trust you to record it for me.


- If I don't forget it, I'll record it.


- Okay, then I'm going! Take care and don't have a heart attack. - You said, laughing lightly.


Everyone giggled at your words. You waved goodbye to them and ran to the garage and jumped into your jet. Merlok opened the Fortrex drawbridge and you quickly left it, flying towards Funnyton. 


Merlok, appearing on the screen at the front of the Fortrex, led you away with a proud look.


- Give it your all, (Y/N). - He said to himself, before disappearing. 


You parked in the villa's underground garage and quickly rushed to the residence. Along your way, you met squirebots carrying your belongings and some equipment.


- Hey, Alli! - You called out to Allison, running up to her.


When her gaze fell on you she sighed in relief and gave you a quick hug.


- Let's go already! Mari is starting to panic and we need to leave quickly. - she called out, dragging you upstairs to your rooms.


Ben and Finn were still sitting in their rooms, looking for their things, they couldn't move without ( phones, wallets and powerbanks ).


You quickly entered your room and your packed bag with your alter ego's stuff was already lying on the bed. A mask and clothes. Your squirebot, Three, had already packed you so you wouldn't be looking for the last minute. 


After getting ready and hurrying boys along, otherwise you would be late. You went back to the garage and got on your bus, which takes you to every concert.


- It's today! Today we will show the kingdom, what we are capable of! - exclaimed Finn enthusiastically, reclining comfortably in his seat.


- Yeah, just make sure nothing goes wrong, or we'll be done. - said Ben, typing something on his phone.


- Don't worry, Ben. Remember, a good attitude is the key to success! - You said, patting him on the shoulder.


- Listen the Queen, Benerino, because she tells you the truth. - Thomas said and put his arm around you.


Ben rolled his eyes and flashed you a slight smile, before plunging into his phone. You freed yourself from Thomas's arms and looked out of the window, at the changing landscape. Closer and closer...


You drove up to the capital and staff took you to your trailers so that make-up artists and hairdressers could get you ready for the show. Your manager and also best friend Mari came to you with her nose in her questionnaire, ticking off points, considering them done.


- Hey, Mari! Are you nervous? - You asked, closing your eyes as the hairdresser used hairspray.


- Hi, Peacebreaker. Yes, you don't even know how stressful it is, getting it all ready, especially in the capital! - she said, sighing heavily, and sat down on the black couch.


- You've got nothing to worry about, if anything we've got something to worry about! This concert will seal our career! If we succeed, we'll be gods! - Thomas said.


- You guys are right. Well... only three more hours to go. Rehearsal and we'll start! Good luck to you all and I'm keeping my fingers crossed for you.


- Thanks, Mari! - cried all four of you and the girl left the caravan. 


= Skipping time = 


After all the preparations and rehearsals, the evening finally arrived. The crowd of fans began to descend and line up in front of the stage. You stood behind the curtain, waiting for the concert and the live broadcast to begin.


When everything was ready, you turned to the boys one last time.


- Everybody ready? Let's do it. - You said determinedly, nodding your head. 


The giant screens at the sides of the stage switched on and a mass of smoke came out of the generators. You adjusted your mask and hood, which added to Peacebreaker's mysteriousness, and stood confidently. There were cameramen standing in front of the stage recording the event.


Finn stood at the front as usual and tried on the microphone, in his usual excited tone.


- Good evening Knighton!!!


Screams, howls and squeals from fans rang out at which you smiled under your mask.


- Time for Trouble!!! - he called out again with a wide grin.


Cheers rang out again to which he laughed and you began to play with all your passion. 


= In Fortrex =


The Nexo Knights, after a ,,great'' workout and after washing up, gathered in the living room in front of the big screen and sat down.


The squirebots brought them a various drinks and snacks. Axl immediately sat down on the sofa in front of the screen and started devouring them.


- This gonna be amazing! - exclaimed Macy.


- We're getting closer and closer to the big reveal! - added Robin with a wide smile.


- Let's just enjoy the concert and.... I beg you, don't squeal like that. My ears are about to burst. - said Clay.


Ava switched on her tablet and turned on the screen to broadcast the concert, which began with a brilliant introduction by the hosts.


- Good evening Knighton! My name is Herb Herbertson and this is Alice Squaries! Today is the moment all fans of the famous band The Trouble Makers have been waiting for! What is... ! - he began, when he was interrupted by Alice.


- Revealing the identity of the famous, mysterious member and great guitarist, Peacebreaker! Everyone is making various theories about hers or his identity! Who could this mystery guy be?


- That's what you'll find out in just a few exciting moments! You're cordially invited to the concert! The Trouble Makers!!! - finished Herb and the camera changed to the stage. 


= On Lavalands =


Jestro and the Book of Monsters in their new fortress of evil stood by the great cauldron, boiling lava, that served them as a screen and communication with the monsters, also watched the band perform.


Jestro was also obsessed with Trouble Makers and eagerly awaited the reveal of his idol Peacebreaker.


The Book of Monsters watched his antics with a weird expression on his face and rolled his eyes at his childishness.


- Calm down, joke boy! This is just the show of some quirky artists, nothing exciting.


Jestro wheezed dramatically. - Take it back! It's a special concert! Revealing the identity of Peacebreaker! My idol! He's fantastic, amazing and.... stylish... - he exclaimed with a dreamy sigh.


- So? Some guy reveals his secretive identity. Better not set your sights on some miracle and focus on your evil plans! - rebuked the Book of Monsters.


- Later! First the concert, if you don't like it, get out!


 The Book was surprised at the tone of his partner in crime, before  sighed heavily and continued watching. Other lava monsters such as Brunzie, Sparkks and Lavaria and Whiperella watched the concert in their cauldron with interest and excitement. 


= Knightonia = 


The concert started with great steam, and the band played with all the energy and passion of their first song.

A/N: Ah and one more thing. Voice (Y/N) to preserve her identity, her true voice is distorted by the mask she wears. 


Lyrics:

[Intro: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin',
Left here behind all alone and forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''

[ Verse 1: (Y/N)]

''So many roads that I've taken, when nobody thought I could make it,
And even though I had to go it alone, I still survived,
When you live in the darkness there's always confusion,
Sometimes your mind will provide the illusion,
And your life can change in the blink of an eye, yeah''

[Chorus: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten
So now the world belongs to me
To live and to die by the word that is spoken
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''

[ Verse 2: (Y/N)]

''I opened a box full of secrets where the strongest of thoughts couldn't keep them,
And even though I was the last to know, they were livin' inside,
When you see through the darkness and find the solution,
How quickly your eyes will remove the illusion,
You know our life is gonna change in the blink of an eye, yeah''

[ Chorus and ending: (Y/N)]

''I look to the sky but there's someobody watchin'
Left here behind all alone and forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me,
To live and to die by the word that is spoken,
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me yeah, yeah

Someone's got to show you goin' that way yeah, yeah
There was nothing standing in my way yeah, yeah

I look to the sky but there's nobody watchin'
A hero was born from a soul that's forgotten,
So now the world belongs to me,
To live and to die by the word that is spoken,
The legend's a lie and the silence is broken,
So now the world belongs to me, the world belongs to me''


The crowd roared with cheers and you saluted them, smiling. You could feel the adrenaline and excitement coursing through your blood, but you also felt a slight anxiety about how the audience would react to your real face. You chased the bad thoughts away when the next song started to play.

Lyrics:

[ Verse 1: Finn]

''I'm the devil's son, straight out of hell,

And you're an angel with a haunted heart,
If you're smart you'd run and protect yourself,
From the demon living in the dark,
There's nothing to be gained, 'cause I can never change,
And you can never understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness)''

[ Chorus: Finn ]

''Save yourself
From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
Save yourself''

[ Verse 2: Finn ]

''You're the perfect drug, when it hurts like hell,
I've never needed anyone so much,
There's no one else I love and I curse myself,
'Cause the right thing is to give you up,
I'm overcome by shame, 'cause I can never change,
And you can never understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness)''

[ Chorus: Finn ]

''Save yourself
From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me

Save yourself

From a life full of lies
And a heart full of pain and sorrow
Save yourself
From the choices I make
'Cause nothing but failure follows me
Save yourself
Save yourself''

[ Verse 3 and Chorus: Finn and Thomas]

''You'll never understand my sickness,

(I'll never understand my sickness),
'Cause I don't understand my sickness,
(I'll never understand my sickness),

Save yourself,
From a life full of lies,
And a heart full of pain and sorrow,
Save yourself,
From the choices I make,
'Cause nothing but failure follows me,

Save yourself,
From a life full of lies,
And a heart full of pain and sorrow,
Save yourself,
From the choices I make,
'Cause nothing but failure follows me,
Save yourself,
Save yourself''


The Book of Monsters raised an eyebrow impressed by this particular song, while Jestro had a fangirl attack.


- Hm, that song wasn't that bad. - He muttered to himself. - It reminds me one person. 


The Book Keeper nodded in agreement with, what his master on the cover said. Another song started and this time Macy squealed in delight. - This is my favorite song! 


- Really?! Mine too! - Robin exclaimed.


They look at each other and gave a high five. Clay silenced them and they went back to watching.

Lyrics: 

[ Verse 1: Thomas] 

''Stand up, everybody look alive
Say come on, come on, come on, we're gonna get it now
Hands up if you're ready for a fight
Say come on, come on, come on, we're gonna win it now''

''I don't need you to believe in me
I know how to change my destiny
Sit down but to rewrite our history
Rewrite our history, rewrite our history''

[ Chorus: Thomas]

''We can change the whole world, gonna take it over,
Gonna start it over, don't you know what we could be,
A new beginning, fighting 'til we're winning,
Tell me that you're in it, don't you wanna be,


A superhero, a superhero, a superhero,
Don't you wanna be,
A superhero, a superhero, a superhero,
Anybody could be,
Anybody could be,
Anybody could be.''


[ Verse 2: (Y/N)] 

''Rip it off, show the symbol on your chest
Say come on and show the world who you really are
It's not enough to be better than the rest
Gotta take it to the top and make yourself a superstar!

You don't need them to believe in you!

Get your mission on lock and see it through
You've got all the power you need in you!
Power you need in you, power you need in you!!''


[ Chorus: Thomas and (Y/N)] 

''We can change the whole world, gonna take it over
Gonna start it over, don't you know what we could be
A new beginning, fighting 'til we're winning
Tell me that you're in it, don't you wanna be?!


A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Don't you wanna be
A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Anybody could be!!''


[Break 1:46 - 1:55: (Y / N)]


[Chorus and end: Thomas] 

''We can change the whole world, gonna take it over

Gonna start it over, don't you know what we could be
A new beginning, fighting 'til we're winning
Tell me that you're in it, don't you wanna be


A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Don't you wanna be
A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Anybody could be''


''We can change the whole world, gonna take it over
Gonna start it over, don't you know what we could be
A new beginning, fighting 'til we're winning
Tell me that you're in it, don't you wanna be


A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Don't you wanna be
A superhero, a superhero, a superhero
Anybody could be
A hero!!''


The crowd fell silent, before roared in deep applause. The knights behind the TV screen also clapped, feeling as if they were actually there.


Jestro, with stars in his eyes, cheered and clapped, irritating the Book of Monsters, but behind him he also heard the monster screams and cheers happily, making him groan.


- Things, I endure because of evil. - he hissed to himself, knowing that if he had had hands, he would have give himself a facepalm.


Finn gave the fans a beautiful and captivating smile, making some of the fans fainted. He walked over to the microphone and said.


- It was the last song of the evening! Now is the moment, we've all been waiting for! The time has come for our amazing teammate Peacebreaker to reveal their secret identity!


Everyone cheered and squealed excitedly and the crowd began to spell the name Peacebreaker. The knights in Fortrex leaned closer to the screen, wide smiles on their faces.


- Here it goes!! In a minute!! - Aaron squealed, staring at the screen with the stars in his eyes.


- It will be a guy. -  Lance said.


- It will be a girl, I know it is. - Macy said, waiting impatiently.


Jestro, the Book of Monsters, and other lava monsters also moved closer to the cauldron and watched with growing excitement and curiosity.


- Oh, come on! Show up now, please! - Jestro groaned.


- Calm down, joke boy. - The Book of Monsters scolded and went back to watching it.


Peacebreaker walked closer to the edge of the stage and stood in front of Finn's microphone. They bow their head to the ground and began to pull down the mask and hood. As (Y/N) looked up, the crowd gasped loudly in shock.


- WHAT!? - Jestro and the Book of Monsters shouted in shock, and their jaws dropped in shock.


- WHAT!!?


Nexo Knights screamed at the top of their throats, as they stared at the screen in shock. They jumped up from their seats and stared at the screen, completely stunned.


It was (Y/N). No doubt she. But how??!


- Guys...am I craz or can I see (Y/N) standing on the stage?-  Aaron exclaimed, rubbing his eyes.


- Jesus... (Y/N)... it's ... Peacebreaker!? - Macy exclaimed in shock, sharing a stunned look with Robin.


Clay was the most shocked of them all. He would never have guessed, that (Y/N) would have some secret identity. Maybe even a different life.


- Woah... that's... wow...- Robin said as he sat back down on the couch.


- I can't believe...amazing.  - Aaron muttered to himself, staring at (Y/N) utterly amazed.


(Y/N) gave everyone a nervous smile and waved lightly.


- Good evening, Knighton! Yes... It's me, I'm Peacebreaker. Most of the kingdom knows me as one of the knights of the realm. So I will introduce myself to you. I'm (Y/N) Moorington, one of the Nexo Knights.


The crowd was silent all the time, some fans sharing glances.


- But I say straight away. Singing and starting a band has always been something, I wanted to do. Even though... I was constantly told, that I would never do it, I didn't listen to it and finally managed to do it! I have great people and creators behind me with amazing ideas, that I met one night when I sneaked out of the house.


Finn, Thomas and Ben walked closer to her and stood on either side of her.


- All four of us always wanted to create and had dreams. Here we are! Ahead of you here as the great rising stars, that you love! That's all! Cheers, your interest and sympathy for us encourages us to continue working as a team! We love all of you without exception, each of you is of great importance to us and you are just as important to us as me, Ben, Thomas and Finn! Because without you, we wouldn't be here and we'd still be playing in the basement!


The crowd laughed lightly at that, as did the band.


- Like us, my friends take care of you and look after you! Every day we fight various battles with various monsters, but we are still and watch over you! There are monsters, but it's only a matter of time before we drive them away and the kingdom will be safe.


- But ... if my image as a knight, you don't ... like it. This ... I can get back to the Peacebreaker mask. As it always has been. I want you all to know, that, I want to show myself to you as the real me and not in a mask of a fictional character. Since I don't want to hide from the world all the time as it has been so far, I want to finally live as the real me! So I hope you will accept me as I am.


The crowd remained silent, and you took a deep, shuddering breath.


The knights in Fortrex looked at you with pride and emotion. Aaron looked at you with great admiration and felt his heart pounding in his chest.


A smile slowly crossed his face and he sighed, his eyes never leaving you. He was absolutely infatuated.


You slowly heard the clapping and looked at the crowd, which joining the clapping. Moments later, there were whistles and cheers. You sighed and gave the crowd a big smile and your eyes glazed over.


- Thank you... thank you very much. - you said softly and wiped your eyes.


Ben patted you on the back with a slight smile. After the concert and meeting with the fans, you all went back to the trailer, cleaned up and went back to Funnyton. From Funnyton, you returned to Fortrex to come face to face with your friends, who were waiting for you in Merlok's 2.0 room.


You swallowed hard and stepped into the room. The knights immediately looked at you still with smiles on their faces.


You sighed and said quickly. - Before you say anything, I say, I'm sorry.


- You have nothing to apologise for. That performance you did was amazing! It normally squashed me into my seat! - Macy said.


- That's... means, you're not mad at me?


- No, of course not! What would we be mad about? - Axl ask.


- I... I don't know. - You admitted with an awkward smile.


Everyone laughed at you and you giggled slightly.


- I don't believe... you fooled us pretty good. We have a big star in Fortrex. - Aaron said.


You blushed slightly and scratched your neck. - Big, that's an exaggeration. Maybe... a rising star?


- Never mind. What you did. That exposure and... double life is... I just wouldn't have suspected you. It's an amazing job you've done and I'm proud of you, sister. - Clay said. 


- Awww... thank you brother, all of you. You guys are the best friends in the world.


You hugged everyone individually ( Lance was a little awkward). You yawned widely.


- And now... can we go to bed? It's... five minutes before midnight. - You said, checking the time on your phone.


- Yeah... tomorrow we have another day of training. - said Clay cheerfully, heading for the door.


All knights behind him groaned in annoyance, but followed you. You got ready for bed and lay down on your bed, sighing. You smiled to yourself, closed your eyes and fell asleep after a while.
