The Magic Combat of Love: Into the Unknown

Chapter 16: Zeke's Makeover

Zeke woke up the next day. He peeked out over the balcony and saw the sun light up the sky like a lightbulb lighting up a room. There was a knock at the door and some food was given to Zeke. Zeke didn't feel hungry so he hid the food. Zeke was drawing a picture of his parents when he heard a strange noise coming from the other side of the wall. It wasn't the girl but it sounded like humming. Zeke listened in as the voice started singing then a loud noise was heard and the singing stopped. "Quit singin'! Get back to work!" yelled a guard. Zeke also felt bad to whoever was on the other side as well. Zeke finished the drawing of his parents, hugging the picture tight and wondering where they were. Suddenly, the door knocked and Hades came bursting in. Zeke hid the picture in a drawer so Hades wouldn't see. "Good to see you little Zekester! Ready for some fun?" Hades asked. Zeke gulped, "I'm afraid to find out," he said. "Boys! Get ready! This kid needs a makeover!" Hades said. "Now that your one of us kid, you need to look good in style!" Hades said. "Huh?" Zeke asked. "Follow me kid," Hades grabbed Zeke's hand as Chernabog, Maleficent (in dragon form), Jafar, and the mysterious figure followed him to a room that looked like a salon. "Pain,  Panic, me, and the rest of our villainous friends here will make you right at home," Hades said to Zeke. "But I..." Zeke was about to say as Hades shushed him and Hades started to sing:

You wanna be like us
You gotta be one of us
And kid your gonna do just fine
But if you really mess up
And then cry like a little pup
You'll be at the end of the line
Do as your told
Do as we say
Cause kid you're gonna be a-okay
And kid we're gonna make you a star!
What everybody tells you is a secret or a lie
But put their bum right in the chair
And kiss it all goodbye
You don't need to hear from phonies
Like a cop or two
Trust me that's all you need to doooooo
Do as your told
Do as we say
Cause kid you're gonna be a-okay
And kid we're gonna make you a star!
Chernabog:
Do what we say or I'll break your bones
Even when you start picking your nose
Do as your told
Do as we say
Cause you are gonna be a-ok
And kid we're gonna make you a star!
Jafar:
Just tell them that you are first place Cause everyone is second rate
Son you'll be going for a mile
Do as your told
Do as we say
Cause son you're gonna be a-ok
And kid were gonna make you a star
(Harp plays)
Maleficent is seen playing the harp and singing:
Be like us
Be one of us they say
And everything will be just fine
All the villains:
Do as your told
Do as we say
Cause kid you're gonna be a-ok
We're  all on our knees
We're begging you please 
Sign it off and you will succeed
And kid we're gonna make you a star!
Zeke:
A star?
All villains:
A star!
Hades:
Hey I hope we didn't go too far
All villains:
Cause kid we're gonna make you a star!!!
All villains:
You're our super star! Yeah!

After their song and dance, Chernabog conjured up a mirror and Zeke looked into it. "What do you think?" Hades asked Zeke. Zeke did not like his appearance cause he looked goth but he tried to be polite. "It's great, thank you," he said politely but he was unsure about his appeareance. "Aw shucks, we're doing what's best for our new buddy," Hades said ruffling Zeke's hair. Then Hades ordered Pain and Panic to return Zeke to his room. They pushed Zeke into the room and slammed the door shut. Zeke tried to take the makeup off and fix his sleek hair but he couldn't. He sighed and cried his eyes out. He took the picture of his parents and held it close. Mommy, Daddy, where are you? Zeke thought to himself. He felt really sad so he started to sing:

Everybody knows my name now
But something 'bout it still feels strange
Like looking in a mirror, trying to steady yourself
And seeing somebody else

And everything is not the same now
It feels like all our lives have changed
Maybe when I'm older, it'll all calm down
But it's killing me now

What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then, you'd know me
'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just really lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely

Everybody knows my past now
Like my house was always made of glass
And maybe that's the price you pay
For the money and fame at an early age
And everybody saw me sick
And it felt like no one gave a sh*t
They criticized the things I did
As an idiot kid

What if you had it all
But nobody to call?
Maybe then, you'd know me

'Cause I've had everything
But no one's listening
And that's just really lonely

I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
I'm so lo-o-o-onely
Lo-o-o-onely
