Operation: Dethrone II
Chapter 4: DnB's Concert
Previous ChapterDnB was all set up in the Ponyville Concert and Rave Hall, with Electro and Trance helping him out. The concert was ready to begin, so DnB started by picking up a microphone and introducing himself and the other two cats on stage. He then got behind a drum set and a silence filled the hall.
Electro started up the synth board in front of him and Trance powered up his. Music started playing, and it was really nothing impressive at first. Ponies were conversing amongst themselves, asking questions like Why do their turntables not have records? What is the red one doing just sitting there? and Is this all their music has for us?
The song had gone about a minute in and the mysterious synth sounds were accompanied by the rapid tapping of DnB’s hi-hat. Everypony was now expecting a buildup, and they got a buildup indeed. After a minute or so of tapping the hi-hat, DnB began hitting the tom and the snare. The synths began to grow louder and intensify as well, and at just the right moment a drop hit. All the noise suddenly dropped out, and then DnB did a bit of a drum riff and the music was at the max.
The synths were creating sounds, but not like the typical wubs that you would hear from Vinyl’s dubstep. These sounds were completely out of the ordinary, like nothing anypony had ever heard. Not to mention DnB’s live drumming was incredible. The drumsticks were glowing, and they were being swung back and forth through the air so fast that their blurring almost completely obstructed the view of DnB. Flames burst from the drums each time they were hit. The floor shook. DnB played faster. Then suddenly everything fell to a near silence. All that was left was the rapid tapping of the hi-hat and the slightly eerie sounds from Electro and Trance’s synth boards. The song then faded out.
After about a half hour or so of songs like this DnB closed the concert by saying into the mic “Thank you all so much for listening and watching! Unfortunately we’ve just about run out of time and we need to make way for Vinyl Scratch’s performance, but if you want to hear more then go to Hawkins’ concert, which is in just two days! We are also on EquestriaFilms and EquestriaSocial, so check us out there as well. I’m DnB, and I bid you all a good evening!” With that the three cats packed up and went backstage, everypony in the audience cheering.
Behind the curtains Electro was putting some of his music on through his headphones, Trance was meditating, and DnB was grabbing a cloth and wiping the sweat off his forehead. The cats were all sitting on the floor-no fancy lounge chairs like the ones that were normally associated with their concerts. Suddenly a door opened with a creak.
