At Woestock...
Where was the Young Master!? The fearstival was in danger if there was no monster to introduce the rotten apple of the Young Master''s eye and her band!
After searching the backstage area frantically, Goobledygook took a deep breath and decided that he would have to handle it. The goblin butler headed to the stage.
"Master Harry Herne asked me to introduce our last act of the night. This fearstival has been all about the BOJANGLES and this young lady's rights. The Bot That Rocks Hot...The Droid That Will Leave You Overjoyed...MISS AYATOLLAH OF ROCKIN ROLLA....
ATOMICA AND THE REST IN PEACE!"
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Walking along a nameless river, in a nameless forest...
Harry stumbled along in a daze. He was totally Bummed Out. The fearstival taken hostage by his clawpicked headliner...and only saved through acts of violence. This was not the way of the BOJANGLES! He had failed the BOJANGLES and as a hacktivist. Heading back to his room in despair, he began to sing Jim Horrorison.
"This is a dead end, my monstrous friend, a dead end..."

"I WANT YOU.....TO WANT....ME!" Atomica shouted out to the fangghouls and fangboos in the clawdience. This was it - no matter what had happened before, Atomica and the RIP were going on-stage.
Marceline's smile put Atomica at ease - Marceline had social fangxiety, and if SHE was eager to go, then who was Atomica to hold back?!
"You know the song, ghouls!" Atomica directed the band as fog filled the stage and bright lights flashed on and off behind them.
"Just a small town ghoul
Unlivin' in a lonely woooooorld
She took the midnight train goin' aaaaaaanyscare"
The guitar riffs blended with the aggoredian and horn section as Atomica paused and let the music swell and back down again.
"Just a city boo
Died and raised in south Detroit
He took the midnight train goin' aaaaaaanyscare"
The fog completely filled the stage, making the band's silhouettes appear as the lights ignited behind them. Atomica rerouted all of the power from her atomica battery into her vocal subroutine.
"A singer in a smoky doom
A smell of slime and cheap perfume
For a smile they can share the night
It goes on and on, and on, and onnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
Sally on the drums pounded hard and the spotlight above became blindingly bright as the monsters in the clawdience started shrieking and howling their approval.
"Strangers waiting
Up and down the ghoulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetfrights, creepers
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"
Atomica caught the eyes of the other ghouls in the band. This was their first performance as a band - for most of them, their first performance, period! But it was working better than Atomica could have ever hoped. She looked at Marceline, the one remaining 'old' Atomica and the RIP member, and the two of them shared a glance that said more than words ever could.
"Working hard to get my chill
Everymonster wants a thrill
Paying anything to roll the dice
Just one more time
Some will win, some will lose
Some were born to sing the blues
Oh the boovie never ends
It goes on and on and on and onnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn!"
All of the ghouls joined in on the refrain.
"Strangers waiting
Up and down the ghoulevard
Their shadows searching in the night
Streetfrights, creepers
Living just to find emotion
Hiding somewhere in the niiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiight!"
Atomica turned her voice up to 11.
"Don't stop screaaaaamin'!
Hold on
Streetlights, creepers, oh-ooohaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!"
Atomica pointed out to the crowd.
"You know the words! Sing along!"
She held out her microphone and all of the monsters in attendance joined in.
"Don't stop screeaaaamin'!
Hold on to the feelin'
Streetlights, creepers, oh-ooohaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhh!"
The band built to the final crescendo.
"DON'T STOP! SCREAAAAMIN'!"
And as the stagelights doused, Atomica and the Rest In Peace took their first big bow. It wouldn't be the last one of the evening.

Having stayed silent as he watched Monster High defend themselves and their friends, Damyn might have stopped trying to hide a smile as Atomica, Arillena and the other girls performed incredibly. As the Metallic girl sang, He noticed Ari's reverse glamoured arm returning to normal. The normally shy Faerie appeared to be having a blast up there with the others.
"Looks as if most of the chaos is done..." He said with some relief in his voice. He looked around, everyone was having so much fun. Maybe... maybe it wouldn't be so difficult to get along with everyone...

"And then there was the time we...went to...New...Goreleans....." Rory trailed off from his description of Monster High life to look up at the stage as Atomica and the RIP finished their set. Outlined in fog and brilliant lights, Marceline's emerald-colored hair swung behind her in an almost hypnotic flow of wild, waving fury.
She looked like she belonged up there.
Rory felt a twinge of shame, remembering his original intentions of coming to the Fearstival with the Disappearing Club was to spy on Marcy, paranoid that she was going to sing about their breakup to the entire monster world. But now, sheepishly, Rory knew better than that.
Maybe...maybe he should go and say hello, Rory wondered to himself? Maybe it was the message of the song that was swaying him along, or maybe it was something else. Rory turned to his new companion."Say, do you, uh, want to meet those ghouls on the stage? I'm friends with...uh, with some of them."Which WAS true, after all. He had become pretty close friends with Arillena, at least...

Basking in the glow of the stage lights, swamped in vanilla-scented fog, Marceline danced as she shredded her aggoredion solo. The monsters in the audience of Woestock would have never assumed she had any shred of social fangxiety... and really, for that moment, she didn't. She began to feel like a new monster... a New Marceline. "THANK YOU WOESTOCK!!!" Atomica's voice bellowed through the Catacombs as the fans cheered on. "I am Atomica, and this is The Rest in Peace! Goodfright!" All at once, a swarm of ghouls and mansters rushed the stage, claws extended, hopeful to be grasped by the ghouls on stage. Marceline set down her aggoredion and gleefully shook hands with each and every one of them, with a smile and a "thank you!" ... she'd begun to like The New Marceline -- confident, popular... so popular that her ex-boofriend couldn't even keep his distance... "Gah!" Marceline spotted Rory shifting through the crowd... with some colorful pony ghoul following him... and suddenly all that confidence drained from her and gave way to fangxiety all over again. Who was that ghoul? Was it his new ghoulfriend? Was he coming over to rub it in her face that he was happy without her? Marceline's heart ached behind her ribcage, and so desperately she wanted to disappear...
But then, she thought, wouldn't he win if she disappeared? No, she thought; she had to stay confident. She painted on a bigger, brighter smile for her adoring fans and tried her hardest to not pay Rory any mind...

Arillena smiled brightly but kept a bit of distance between her self and those who had suddenly surrounded the stage. Unknowingly feeling the same relief from Anxiety as Marceline. The Timid changeling waved at everyone but did not reach out to them. The crowd was overwhelming, but she was too busy having fun to start panicking now.
The blonde looked up and Waved at Damyn and Draconia. Her Satyrish Guardian cast her a rare smile. Ari looked around the crowd for more familiar faces. A stage light reflected back into her face briefly as she noticed Rory in the crowd. She couldn't tell if he was troubled or having fun. The Fae glanced at Marceline, part of her wanted to talk to her. They had such a blast on stage it was as if all the crazy before hand hadn't happened.
Arillena took a moment to hop off the stage, hoping the crowd would stay with the real stars of the show. She smiled, glad Atomica was able to sing after all.

"H-hey!" Rory tried to wave at the ghouls on the stage as they stooped down to greet the masses that had lurched forward. His waves were being squelched by the sheer volume of monsters crowding towards the stage. "Arillena! Layla! Oop!" For a second, Rory bobbed beneath the sea of bodies. He lost sight of his new companion. When he finally managed to get his head back up (gingerly, of course, to avoid any new cracks), he was several feet closer to the stage. He was close enough to see Marceline giving a clawtograph to Skelita Calavares. When she handed the paper back, half a dozen more claws reached up with things for her to sign."Gosh...she's so popular..." Rory mused to no one in particular. An awful lot of those monsters looking for clawotgraphs were male, he noticed. Not that he should care...right?

Astrid Fantasy Rorrim Rory Bludworth He took the new ghoul by her sparkly hand and pulled her through the backstage area, around the stage and to the front. "We have to stop-oh no!"Rory (and his new companion) were too late! Jimi Hexdrix had Atomica Servo in an armbar on the stage, weilding a magical guitar axe. This was the worst possible thing EVER!
Rory shied back. What could a fragile, easily-broken boo like himself do in the face of THIS?Astrid responds with a smile and an incredibly confused face as she's pulled around by this strange boo to gods-know-where and letting her look like a total fool to herself. "Wait what, stop what?" her head was spinning with daze and confusion. "What did I run into?!" Snapping back to her regular self, she grams the mansters shoulders and shakes him violently. "What is going on??! What was that for?!" Her horn turned steaming red from her anger. Peggy ran behind them, catching up to him just as this new ghoul was shaking him. She scowled "HEY.. YOU.. that's MY vanishing partner, ladypants. " Peggy leaned in and peered at her. "who ARE you anyway? You sure are.. sparkly, suspiciously sparkly" She narrowed her eyes and began to poke the new girl "WHO *poke* ARE *poke* YOU?

At some point, Rory began to realize that he had not just the sparkly newcomer with him, but Peggy had rejoined him.
Wow, she was REALLY good at disappearing and reappearing. Maybe she did deserve to be in the club.
So now, Rory had a sparkly pony-ish ghoul on one side, and a rainbow-hued pony-ish ghoul on the other side. He was surrounded by ponyghouls.
Swimming in ponyghouls.
It was at this point, for the briefest of seconds that he and Marceline's gazes locked for the fleetest of seconds. They both quickly looked away and Rory's cheeks flushed. This situation LOOKED for him entirely different than it FELT, and he was positive Marceline just got the entirely wrong message.
At that point, though, the crowd surged again and Rory, Peggy and the mysterious new alicorn ghoul were pushed backwards from the stage. Rory decided to go with the flow this time and become part of the teeming masses on the cavern floor at Woestock.

The main acts were over, but Woestock itself continued far into the night as ghouls and mansters hung out and enjoyed themselves.
As for what happened to Jimi Hexdrix....no monster knew. He and his goons somehow managed to vanish during the distraction of Atomica and the Rest in Peace's performance. This may not have been the last time the students at Monster High heard from Jimi.
Grumpy Bat was returned to her owners, and Grumpy Matt was given a medal of commendation for his...bravery...in returning the tiny bat following her harrowing and extremely unusual bat-napping. Grumpy Matt's wish of becoming a grimternet meme came true, as the video of him receiving an #rkoouttanoscare trended for the entire weekend - an eternity in internet time.
The smash hit improvised song sung by the boo band of Nero, Glen, Kai, Dashner and a Roswell Gray hologram was not recorded by a single soul at the performance - though many a manster found himself oddly humming the melody for months afterward.
Power Pegasus vanished into the night leaving behind only the legend and the magical feeling of justice being served.
Atomica and the Rest in Peace were invited to perform at Prom at Monster High by the student party planning committee.
And lastly, despite the considerable success in his goal of raising awareness of monster mistreatment of inorganic beings, head of BOJANGLES and fearstival coordinator Harry Herne remained depressed at the outcome of the musical acts and was not seen by any other monsters for the remainder of the weekend.
