Up first we have Marcie with a story about their OC's Rickert, and Levine, ready to watch the performance!

A strange short man laud face first on the grassy ground of a small rock concert. It was only a simple battle of the bands, playing songs that were already done by professional bands. For a moment he laid there thinking about his life choices. This wasn't on purpose tho. He had accidentally walked in the middle of a group fight with teens and ended up getting himself hit. The duckling he owned sat beside his head with loud scared peeps. Thankfully the baby bird was alright...

"Knock it off you damn brats!!!"

Rickert stared upwards as he would only witness a tall women throw young teens like javelins.

"Are you okay?" Rickert heard the women say as be watched the women kneel beside him to only offer a hand. "Yes.. I'm fine. I can most certainly take a lot of hits. I am from.. a weird city." He calmly spoke as he grabbed the helpful hand. As he got up, He can help with pick up his duckling the soon place onto his head. "My names Rickert." He spoke looking up at the women who towered over him.

"My name is Levine." She smiled down to him. "I love your duckling." She added as she reached over her shoulder. "This is Toes."

Rickert stood there patiently while he patted his baby duckling. What she pulled out made the man gasp. A large toad. The animal must've been in the hood of her jacket. "Soo cuute!!" He complemented loudly. "This is Milford but he bites..." He informed with a warning.

Levine must've not heard the man's warning. She boldly scratched the baby animals chin. "He seems well behaved. Perhaps he only bites you because you're his dad." She teased the stranger she just had met.

Rickert rolled his eyes. "You're honestly probably right." He answered back. He placed the animal on his head as he watched Levine place the toad onto her shoulder. "Want to watch the bands battle with me?" He asked wanting to hang with her a bit longer.

"Sure." She chirped as she turned to point at one of the few stages. "Come one." She smiled as she grabbed onto the mans hand to drag him along.

Stepping up to the mic first we have Mai, with a story focusing on Attack High vs Marley High!

Attack High was going to the Battle of the Bands nationals this weekend; the school is known for its rocking band quality. The band that was being talked about daily consisted of Jean as the bass guitarist, Sasha as the Guitarist, Connie as the drummer, and Their two singers Marco and Marceline. The band always got along well. Other than Marceline and Connie, they fight a lot.

They have been training for the BOTB competition for weeks now, they have rehearsed every day for hours for weeks. They were definitely ready for this moment and if they did not win they would just work faster and harder.

The school band room was currently full with the band , they were waiting for the bell to ring so they could officially start their band rehearsal. Marco was the uptight bossy one who kept all the others on track.

Jean was the trouble maker alongside Marceline.

Sasha was the lazy hungry one, and Connie was the goofball.

Meanwhile at Marley High, Their school band was already rehearsing for the Battle of the bands. Their band had Niccolo and Pieck as The vocalists, Gabi as the drummer, Falco as the guitarist, Zeke as the bass guitarist. They never fight, Gabi does sometimes.

When the bands found out about the school’s competition they had to enter, both schools had been rivals for years and they were not about to lose to each other now. Usually Marley High wins and sometimes on rare occasions Attack High wins their small competitions held throughout the year.

The BOTB contest was nearing as both bands kept getting their gears turning. Attack High was practicing their original Rock song by the talented Marceline, it had all Instruments, mainly guitars and drums though Marco did most of the singing while Marce sang backup in Screamo.

Marley High on the other hand was working on doing their original song that is Pop and indie inspired, Niccolo was backup vocals while Pieck was main vocals, the song did not have that much Drum but a lot of Guitar and piano. Their band was not keeping it up to standards. They kept mes some parts and a few words of the song. They kept their attitude and tried harder each time.

Attack High got their band equipment in tow and headed down to the stage area in Marley High where the BOTB was being held this year. They got their things ready and got on their school bus.

“Guys! Come on we can’t be late this time.” Marco informed them, hoping that Sasha and Connie would not fight the whole way there. All the band got on the bus and they started their musical journey.

The Marley high students were always ready to go first since it is their home school, they were setting up their equipment on the stage in their theater room. They did a quick warm up and then went to go greet the parents and other students that came to watch and they even greeted the judges.

Attack High and some other schools showed up just in time; they got out with their bags of equipment and headed towards the stage.

“Guys, I am kinda nervous.” Jean said laughing.

“Just last minute jitters Jean, no need to worry.” Marco resurred.

“Haha! Only dummies get nervous.” Marceline joked around as Sasha and Connie were eating some kind of chips.

———-

“The results of this year's Battle of the Bands, Are….” The host announced

Both schools were on their toes as they waited the long awaited results.

“3rd place.. is Demon Slayer High. 2nd is Marley High… and 1st place is Attack High” The host announced and golden ribbons popped out of the stage as the schools jumped and screamed with Glee.

Attack High won! They were so happy and surprised, Jean had no reason to be nervous, he was so happy the band mates were jumping with Glee as they headed to go out and eat together as a band.

Veevee is stepping up next, with a story focusing on two of Attack on Titan's most iconic trios facing off!

It was a regular day for the band called The Gems, Mikasa, Armin, and Eren were planning on another concert. Meanwhile, Hearts of Stone, were also planning on a concert. Jean, Connie, and Sasha were practicing their mix before setting up for the concert though, Sasha as the lead singer and guitarist, Connie as the drummer, and Jean as the pianist. They spent the afternoon practicing their latest mix.

Mikasa and Armin spent some time looking for a venue for them, while Eren started to work on their songs, they had a great mix of teamwork and strategies. As the Hearts of Stone finished their practice mix, they started to look for venues as well, when both bands decided on the same venue, they even booked it on the same day and time. Both bands couldn’t book it since it would be way too confusing. Each band talked to each other, rambling on about what they should do, maybe picking another day, but they wanted that day and that venue. Sasha went out of the studio to call Mikasa, little did they know, they both had the same problems.

“Mika! We have a crisis!”

“Hm? What happened, Sash?”

“We wanted to have another concert again, but someone else booked it, on the same day and same time.”

“What a coincidence, we had the same problem.”

“Wait… what venue did you book?”

“The Star Dome.”

“Hey! That’s our venue!”

The two spent some time fighting over who should get the venue, they were too immature to give up their time and space for the other. Mikasa offered they should do a battle, maybe they could get a judge. Then, it was final, on the day before the concert, both bands would compete for the venue and their time. The judge for that was Hange and Levi.

On that day, both bands got ready, Eren and Sasha as guitarist, Armin and Jean as pianist, while Mikasa and Connie were the drummers. Mikasa and Sasha were even lead singers, they brought their stuff to the arena and set up, there was a lot of tension in the room. At that night, both bands were ready. Hange and Levi step into the room and sat down.

“Good evening, everyone, we both were invited to judge a battle of the bands, am I right? So, for this battle, it will be simple. One band will start with a regular song they have performed before, the last word they sing, the next band has to sing that word as their first word. For example, The Gems sang beautiful, The Hearts of Stone have to start their song with beautiful as well. If the other team does not intervene during their performance, that’s an automatic loss. Now, get ready teams!”

The Gems started first, Mikasa tapped on the microphone and started a beat. “There’s a memory.. of how we used to be.. that I can see, through the flames. I am hypnotized as I fantasize… forgetting lies and pain-“ Connie then banged on his drums. “Pain! You made me a, you made me a believer! Believer! You break me down, you build me up! Believer! Believer! Pain~ oh, let the bullets fly, oh, let them rain~ my life, my love, my drive it came from.. pain-“

The battle went on for a few hours. In the end, The Hearts of Stone won the venue and The Gems have to reschedule. After the battle of the bands, both bands have not spoken to each other for a few months.

Next we have Aether stepping up with The Titans vs The Warriors!

"Hey Armin, a few years ago during that festival? Well look at us now"

"Amazing isn't it?!"

"Who do you think will win ?"

"Well apparently there's a surprise band so let's wait and see"

To Armin, standing onna stage with Eren and Mikasa as a band 'The titans' was a dream come true. Ever since that summer festival, they had been working day and night, practicing and overall already had fans and that made them extremely happy.

Today was the day of a competition, the so expected "Battle of bands"

They had won a few rounds already with the people's votes and jury so they weren't worried and it didn't take long for them to be declared the winners.

But with of another band around,They were very much curious about who they were, their faces always hidden by masks and a hood. Never said a word while out of stage so that left Armin really curious. It however didn't take long for his curiousness to turn into amazement.

As the two bands were called back on stage, the other band "The warriors" had removed their masks showing no one else other than their friends : Reiner, Bertholdt and Annie.

In an attempt to hide what he felt, Armin remained closed to Annie, watching Eren who was already bickering with Reiner while Mikasa and Bertholdt watched them with a disappointed smile.

"This was quite a surprise! You guys are pretty famous..and you never told me?"

"Sorry Armin, was supposed to be a surprise but then we were told you guys would be here so obviously we had to attend or Reiner wouldn't shut up"

Annie responded, kissing armin's cheek before taking hold oh her guitar.

"Boys get a hold of yourself. Since you guys are the winners of the Battle of bands, you'll have the pleasure to play with us on stage and us on our tour if you accept.

"Annie is right but maybe that's a lot for now. Get your instruments everyone and let's get this party started!"

While their styles of music were not so different, The warriors were more rock type

while the Titans were more of Metal but still had a few common songs who were played.

No one had expected for the warriors to show up but for sure none of them regretted it. In the end, Music unites people doesn't it? And nothing has ever united the two groups more than their ion for mKiki?

It's no secret that breakups hurt, but sometimes the best way to cope is with music. Tiny is stepping up with a story of Levi doing just that.

The short raven-haired male sat backstage, fingers drumming on his guitar out of anxiety. He was listening to the freshman perform, that Jeager brat and his friends, and they were pretty good.

"Levi, calm down you'll give yourself another panic attack..." His beat friend Hanji walked over sitting next to him.

"What makes you think I'm nervous four-eyes?"

"For one, your leg is bouncing, two your palms are sweating, and three you're chewing on your guitar pic again."

"Nobody asked you Hanji."

They put their arm around Levi's shoulder.

"We're all nervous Levi."

Nanaba walked over spinning a drumstick in her hand.

"Try terrified...but we've been practicing this song for a month now." She sat next to her two best friends.

Levi sighed looking up at the blonde.

"You aren't going out there performing a song about your ex, who you're still not over though." He pouted slightly.

Nanaba sighed shaking her head.

"Erwin did you dirty. Turn your hurt into anger, get out there and act as if no one is listening." She ruffled his hair making Levi groan.

"I just fixed that!"

"Stop whining."

"This is bullying."

"It's distracting."

Moblit ran back stage after hooking everything up.

"Hanji, Nanaba, Levi, you're on in three!"

Hanji looked over at Levi seeing that his leg was bouncing up and down again.

"It will be fine Shorty....now let's go kick ass!"

They walked out on stage and Hanji tapped their mic before giving the introduction.

"Hey there! How is everyone doing tonight!"

"Get off the stage so I can go home!" Someone yelled in the crowd.

"Trust me! Shorty also wants to go home!"

"Shut your trap, four-eyes."

"Anyway we are A.H.M. (A Hot Mess) and this is a song that our bassist wrote! I'm Hanji, lead vocalist and the guitarist. On Bass and back up vocals we have Levi, and back there on drums we have Nanaba!"

The amps fired up and music blasted through the auditorium.

It was halfway through the song when Levi noticed Erwin walk in and Hanji smirked letting him take over with vocals.

Levi took a deep breath before he began to sing.

"And good for you, it's like you never even met me."

Miche pointed up at the stage elbowing Erwin.

"You're getting called out."

The tall sun-kissed blonde sighed.

"I know Miche."

"You made a mistake letting him go."

"I know Miche...."

"And now you can't get him back."

"Miche, you aren't helping!"

"And cheating didn't help you, but you still did."

Erwin sighed looking up at the stage listening to Levi sing.

" when you swore to God I was the only person who ever got you?"

"Erwin..."

"Miche, not now."

"Well, screw that and screw you!"

"Do you want to leave?"

"No, I deserve anything he throws at me."

"You will never have to hurt the way you know that I do!"

"You messed up."

"I know Miche....I know."

Hanji switched back to singing during the chorus.

"Why did I even give him up."

"You're selfish and greedy?"

"Maybe I'm too emotional

But your apathy's like a wound in salt

Maybe I'm too emotional

Or maybe you never cared at all~~~"

"Are you sure you don't want to leave Erwin?"

"Honestly, no."

Erwin looked up again as Levi sang.

"Well, good for you, you look happy and healthy, not me

If you ever cared to ask!"

"You're crying Erwin."

"Good for you, you're doin' great out there without me, baby

Like a damn sociopath!"

Miche put his arm around Erwin's shoulder.

"But you're so unaffected, I really don't get it but I guess good for you~"

"We'll leave after they're done."

"Right..."

"Well, good for you, I guess you moved on really easily~"

Screaming and whistling now flooded the auditorium.

________

"And the winner is....The Warriors!"

Levi grabbed his case putting his bass back up.

"Well, we tried." He said wiping down his bass.

Nanaba shrugged putting her drums in their respective cases.

"We'll win next year. We better it is our last year after all."

"Maybe next year go metal instead of pop."

Hanji smirked slightly walking over to Levi.

"Hey shorty."

He looked up.

"What do you want foure-"

He was cut off when Hanji pressed their lips together in a chaste kiss before breaking it and leaving without a word.

Levi blinked a few times before looking at Nanaba.

"What the hell was that!?"

"Let's just hope you don't have to write another break-up song this time."

"Break-up....Four-eyes get back here!" Levi ran in the direction that his best friend left in.

Nanaba sighed looking at all the cases surrounding her.

"Moblit!"

"I'll help you carry them out!"
