After a few seconds of silence, another holographic scene began to form in the darkness. A roiling ocean spread out until it completely covered the entire stadium, sheets of rain flying sideways as massive waves passed over and under Cassandra and company. Appearing in a flash of holographic lightning, a wooden galleon with white sails braved the stormy sea as musical notes began to hum. A melancholy voice began to sing as sailors on the wooden ship scrambled about in a panic as the ship was battered by the relentless waves.
First song
"Everything falls into place"
"The minute you leave and give me space"
"I wanna know how it feels to live and let go"
"Without being put in my place"
"I'ma just dive right into the wild side"
"And I'ma ride the wave"
"Until I die"
"Until I die"
Heavy bass notes that could be felt vibrating through your chest matched the rise and fall of the galleon as sailors were washed overboard or clung to any handhold in reach. The ship passed by Cassandra as it's mast cracked and fell, crushing several unfortunate sailors and sending several others flying into the holographic sea. At the wooden steering wheel of the ship, a figure appeared wearing a captain's uniform and began barking out orders to the terrified and soaked sailors. Moments passed and the holographic ship suffered more and more abuse from the elements as sailors ran about trying to keep the galleon together. Eventually the captain pointed to the lifeboats and wordlessly shouted at his crew as he realized the ship was on it's last legs. As more sailors died, the remaining crew scurried to the lifeboats while the captain wrestled with the massive wooden steering wheel. Several lifeboats were crushed underneath hungry waves but finally the remaining crew managed to escape from the doomed ship. The lone figure of the captain stayed at the wheel, seemingly determined to defy nature until the very end. As the ship began to flood and split in half, the captain let go of the wheel and pulled a small picture from his jacket pocket. Looking at the soaked paper in his hand the weary Captain kissed it once and closed his eyes as the ship splintered and crumbled under his feet.
"Until I die"
"My skin is cold, as is my heart"
"I'm falling apart with a smile"
"My bridges are burning"
"I'm holding the match"
"I'm ready to fall"
"Will you catch?"
"I'ma dive right into the wild side"
"And I'ma ride the wave"
"Until I die"
"Until I die"
Just as a massive wave was about to swallow the ship, the holographic scene abruptly disappeared leaving everyone in darkness once again. Another round of cheering and clapping erupted around Cassandra and her friends as the floating platform with musicians was illuminated by several overhead lights. Jumping up to the barge controls, Nadia deftly maneuvered the hoverbarge closer to the musician platform until they were less than 15 feet away. After a few moments of preparation the musicians began to play the beginning notes of a new song as a new scene materialized. Suddenly a holographic figure appeared on the stage in front Cassandra and her friends. It was a young man clad in a old design of spacesuit from the time-period when people were leaving Earth to colonize other planets. Upon closer inspection, Cassandra could see that the astronaut was actually a younger version of the galleon captain. Pulling out a laminated picture from his chest pocket, the holographic astronaut set it down on the ground and suddenly a young woman wearing a flowing dress that sparkled with starry constellations materialized next to him. The two immediately embraced each other tightly and after a few moments of hugging the two pulled apart slightly while still holding hands. The holographic astronaut began to sing and his voice rang clearly throughout the improvised stadium
Second song
"Floatin' in a room"
"With no feet on the ground"
"Got the weight of the world"
"That's tryin' to force me down"
"See the silver linings"
"Glowing circles of light"
"Will you show me what's up there"
"At the end of the sky"
Around the stadium, large holographic planets and stars began to move in orbit around the floating stage as the holographic vocalist held hands with his sweetheart and sang to her. Nadia bounced around ecstatically and in time with the beat as Erik tapped his foot while he held Cassandra and watched the otherworldly performance.
"There's a part of me"
"Losing gravity"
"I don't wanna wait all my life"
"In a state of in between"
"You are a part of me"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"You are the light I need"
"To die and start over"
"I better burn my wings"
"And get lost to be found"
"Than to stay here forever"
"With my dreams all around"
"The fears I have beaten"
"They can't do me no harm"
"I got rid of my anchor"
"Just before I'm to drown"
"There's a part of me"
"Losing gravity"
"I don't wanna wait all my life"
"In a state of in between"
"You are a part of me"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"You are the light I need"
"To die and start over"
"You are a part of me"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"You are the light I need"
"To die and start over"
"There's a part of me"
"Losing gravity"
"I don't wanna wait all my life"
"In a state of in between"
"You are a part of me"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"You are the light I need"
"To die and start over"
"You are a part of me"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"You are the light I need"
"To die and start over"
"The closer I get, the faster I burn"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
"The closer I get, the brighter I turn"
"'Cause you're my supernova"
As the song came to an end, the holographic couple turned to look Cassandra and her friends, making Nadia let out a squeak of surprise. The young man had a wide smile on his face and nodded respectfully to Erik as the young woman smiled at Dante and Jen and gave the two a knowing wink making Dante cough in surprise. As quickly as it happened, the young couple bowed to the stadium audience as a deafening roar of cheering and applause erupted around them. The holographic couple then tightly embraced each other and faded away.
