Here's a new story. Mind you, I don't know how to create links to Youtube when it comes to certain music, so I'm trying my best here. Hope you like it.

Prologue: The Legend

Long ago, on another Earth entirely, there were seven young boys, all who were orphans all their lives.

One day, they decided to explore a bit of the landscape further away from their orphanage. During their travel, they ended up finding a cave that no one had ever noticed before. Their curiosity getting the better of them, they ended up going inside to explore it. When they got inside, they were all awestruck. Inside there were seven large statues.

One appeared to be a Cyborg of sorts, strangely wearing jeans and boots, holding what appeared to be a guitar.

The second appeared to be also a man wearing some kind of spacesuit, but he looked really different too, holding what appeared to be drum sticks

The third and fourth appeared to be twin anthropomorphic birds, wearing what appeared to be different biker outfits. Both of them holding different guitars. One holding a lead guitar, the other holding a rhythm guitar.

The fifth one appeared to be a cowboy, something western related. This one was holding a Bass guitar.

The sixth was what appeared to be a Cyborg, nearly relating to the first one, but he was holding what appeared to be a Keytar.

And finally, the seventh one appeared to have a type of armour that would almost put Darth Vader to shame, but he was holding what appeared to be a guitar related to both the lead and rhythm.

The seven boys approached the statues, marveling the sight of them with wide smiles. But as they admired them, one of them noticed a few strange coffins in front of them. Curious, they approached each of them. When they opened them, they did not find any dead bodies, but instruments from what the statues were holding. They didn’t appear to be old, but they also didn’t look new either.

Out of curiosity, each of them began to play their respected instrument. They first practiced on them a few times. After the eight attempted try, they were able to play them successfully.

They noticed on the plaque were musical notes, with the sun on the left side and the moon on the right side. They at first played, but they fumbled a bit first. But after an encouragement from the one who was determined, they were able to be synced, playing the perfect song. After their successful play, they were overjoyed that their practice paid off.

When all of a sudden, seven spirits, the same ones who appeared to look exactly like the statues, appeared in front of them, congratulating them on playing a successful performance. They told the boys that all of them were destined for greater things, that all of them, with the power of music, would be able to create something truly special. They told the orphaned boys that once they turn eighteen, which happens to be ten years from now, all of them would gain the power and would be instructed to do what they would be asked to do.

The leader told them, that all their lives, they wished that they could do something better, hoping for a better life. But they all love music, and that they wish to share this with others instead of just keeping it to themselves. They wish to entertain and make people happy through their music. The seven spirits admired the leader’s drive and bestowed them their power, allowing it to course through their bodies.

Shortly a while later, whilst they would await their current age, they would begin to perform their songs together. This however, gained the attention of the other orphans, making them cheer for their songs. But during their performance, to their luck, a talent agent went by and heard their music. He was amazed by their talent and immediately took them in, which they accepted to do one thing, to make people happy through their music.

During their stay at the studio, each of them began to practice their instruments. But the leader, he felt different, for his mind was so filled with music, he continued to write every single one of them down. With the help of the rest of his friends, he was able to write the perfect songs, each focusing on different genres. They would be the first to play their music through different genres. Thinking of a name for their band, they chose a name that they once thought about the spirits they met, and called them, the “Gods of Music”, which they decided to name their band.

During the many years that went by, the seven boys became the youngest and biggest music sensation in the world. Everyone would praise them for their music, and the smiles that they brought them to those who love music, as well as the different genres to those who would wish to listen to not just one type of music, but to all.

Then one day, in secret, the spirits arrived and told them that it was time. Sure enough, their powers activated from within, transforming them to look just like the statues in the cave, truly making them the gods of rock.

The spirits took them to the great void, where the seven friends would create something remarkable. The leader of the group, showed them the songs that he had been writing down ever since they appeared in his head. Each of them that had a relation to magic, as well as those that would relate to nature.

They began to perform one of their songs, and to the spirits’ surprise, they created not one, but two worlds. They continued to play their music. The Drummer helped create mountains, the Keytar player made flowing rivers, the guitarists created trees, plants, flowers and everything green related, whilst the Bass would help create their skies, stars, sun and moon. Then with the full power of the song, called “Shine like the Day and Night”, creating the first ever magic for one world, but they not to give one to the other, for this way, both worlds would find a way to connect in order for them to truly gain synchronization.

For the past ten years they continued to play their songs on their world, whilst at the same time, they would create life throughout both worlds. The leader thought of an idea. For in one world, would be like their world, but different, whilst in the other, would be placed with equines, dragons, yaks and many more. And the ponies would be connected to the humans, for their skin colors would be reminded of the pony’s fur colors, showing true unity between both worlds.

Until one day, after the magic had been created on one world, one of the seven orphans, the one wielding the guitar related to both the lead and rhythm, became greedy with power, thinking that their music is power and that they could become gods and rule both worlds. But the leader of the band, tried to talk him out of it, with all of them trying to convince him that all of them are musicians and that they don’t play for power, but for life on both worlds, and that they didn’t create both worlds to rule them, but to set them free.

Sure enough, the seventh quit and left, but in doing so, his power had been stripped by the celestial beings, deeming him unworthy because of his lust for power. Before the beings thought that no one else could be worthy, the leader recommended one that could be a potential seventh, and thus they chose the seventh, not because they vouched for him and be a great player, but like them, for the love of all things music, which they deemed worthy of that choice.

But as they had finished creating the last bits of that both worlds needed, they were attacked by the former, along with the Great Black Dragon and many of his minions. Though they put up a spirited fight, the former seventh overcame them and destroyed them.

However, there was still hope. For thanks to the Celestial beings, the seven members were saved, and their souls headed to the worlds they created in order to be reincarnated. Unfortunately, the six went to the human world, whilst the leader, went to the other. So the seven remain silent, until one day, they would unite and truly bring both worlds alive with the power of harmony, through the power of their music.
