Chapter 4: Rock Shocker
Suddenly the band started playing one of their best songs. "WOOO YEAH!", the crowd were cheering and clapping and going wild. "HOWDY TO EVERYONE FROM MAGOG MINERALZ! LETS ROCK THIS HOUSE!".
Yan was in his element, he was very happy and danced along with all the other Interns.
The lead guitar player was hamming up his part well, he was dancing along to the riffs and waving to the crowd. The guitarist had a variety of different kinds of face paint, the most prominent would be the white paint around his eyes on the mask. The keyboardist was more modest, but he did wave to the crowd occasionally. He was wearing a black bandana with a skull on it.
The lead singer was fairly muscular, his brow was sweating and his voice was getting quite husky. He grabbed a bottle of water and sloshed it over his face. He had a pair of golden Slig pants and a gold necklace around his neck, along with a long black cloak which was attached to the back of his mask. The drummer was a bit more muscular than the lead singer, possibly an ex-Big Bro. He played the drums well, and often ended each song with a massive drum solo followed by a cymbal crash. He wore a green mask.
"YOU SAY, BRING IT BACK TO MAGOG? KISS MY SLOG!". The drummer finished the song and the crowd went bananas. The band played for a further hour, with a lot of their popular songs getting played.
"Alright folks, we have one more song to play. Everyone ready?", the crowd cheered their loudest yet. Yan was so excited he was jumping up in the air in happiness. Drew was looking at him and smiling.
"Thanks to everyone from MAGOG MINERALZ! (pause for crowd cheering) Many thanks to our sponsors for making this possible; Flubby Blubber, Sliggies Youth Academy and The Mudokon Live Ate Federation... Alright everyone, just for you, here's "I've become so dumb!".
The crowd waved their arms in the air and joined in with the song. Near to the end of the song, the tempo decreased, most of the Sligs in the audience were now waving their lighters. The Interns took out their Shock Rocker batons and started waving them along with the song.
Finally, the lead singer sung his final note, and the drummer went wild. It had to be the most insane drum solo, but the drummer nailed every hit perfectly. Finally the drummer hit his final note, while the guitar player played a final chord.
The sound was absolutely deafening. All of the crowd were cheering and clapping. The performing Sligs were waving and saluting everyone. They left the stage and then a few seconds later, the Lunch Hall lights came on again.
Yan was absolutely exhausted and very happy. Drew put his hand on Yan's shoulder. "Now THAT was rock!". Yan smiled and they walked back to the Vykker's Labs.
Yan logged onto the Meech Munchers website, he noticed a section where you could e-mail the band and ask questions. He decided to send one off, just in case the band could read it.

Sorry for the long gap, I was just waiting for the writer's block to disappear
. In another note, I created a map of Magog Mineralz. I have decided that this facility will be the setting for Forbidden Tentacle, Armament and Path of the Intern.
Silpher's Pack and Imadaeth are both set in different research facilities somewhere near nature.
