The Story Behind The Mask

Kidnaped

Chloe's POV

I woke up in a cage, in a dark room.  "Where am I?" I asked. "oh. your awake." said a dark figure.  the figure stepped out of the darkness and I saw that it was Rascal.  "Rascal! Why am I here? What do you want with me?!" I shouted at him.  I reached for my glitter pact, only to find it wasn't there.  "Looking for this?" he asked, holding up my glitter pact.  "I brought you here because Emperor Nogo told me to." he said.  "why do you do this? why do you follow his orders?" I asked.  "...Why do I do this?...I do it because I don't have a choice. Even if I wanted to stop, I wouldn't have anywhere to go, plus I can't disobey him. Never again." he said.

 Rascal: It's time you learned a lesson

It's time that you understand

Don't ever count on anybody else

In this or any other land

I once hoped for friendship

To find a place among my kind

But those were the childish wishes

Of someone who was blind

Open up your eyes

See the world from where I stand

Me, among the mighty

You, caged at my command

Open up your eyes

Give up your sweet fantasy land

It's time to grow up and get wise

Come now, little one, open up your eyes

(flashback start)

*a Young Rascal with no mask and purple eyes is talking to Nogo*

(Young Rascal: Daddy, can I go to the human world and play with normal kids?)

We all start out the same

With simple naive trust

Shielded from the many ways

That life's not fair or just

*Nogo stomps his foot on the ground and shouts at young Rascal*

(Nogo: YOU WILL NOT GO NEAR THOSE FILTHY HUMAN BRATS!!)

(Young Rascal: oh yea!? well i'm going and you can't stop me!)

But then there comes a moment

A simple truth that you must face

(Nogo: YES! I!! CAN!!!)

*Nogo swung his claws at Young Rascal's right eye and the background turned black as Young Rascal fell back with blood flying in front of him*

If you depend on others

You'll never find your place

*it goes to Young Rascal (with his mask) standing in a park by himself, when a group of kids come and ask if he can play catch with them. he agrees to play and everything is going OK, until the ball hits him in the face and his mask falls off, showing his eye is all stitched up with dried blood around it. the kids become scared and run away screaming, leaving Young Rascal by himself. he puts his mask back on and begins to slowly walk away, crying*

And as you take that first step

Upon a path that's all your own

*he begins to run*
