Chapter Two: Angel of Death Missing Link, from Revolutionary Girl Utena- As Pearl meets her mother in the shadowy gallery, and the confrontation within, then the fight. Originally chosen because the "Missing Link" part of the lyrics sounded like mezume. Song changed in beta version. Chapter Three: Sign of the Rose (Noel Gallagher 'Teohuatican') The streets of New Avalon were very empty. The new curfew had cleared the skyways and streets quickly, leaving nothing but clear space. No teenagers bent on a night of fun littered the streets, no gangs emerged to challenge the authority of the militia. The spires were dark of all light, the usually bright towers dead and lifeless due to the power-outage Short had masterminded. And the cameras which were supposed to watch over the populace were dead as well, allowing Pearl to slip through the streets undetected. There was no need for stealthiness. The militia would check the gang routes first, having been tipped off by the traitor. No one would expect a gang member to stick to the upscale roads and the ground. Skyways were easier to traverse, but in the end, one had to be on the ground to get out of the city. Pearl, aided by the magic that had seeped into her veins, making her a rogue 'changling', ran like the wind. The sound of her boots hitting the pavement echoed loudly. Rose Which Has Not Bloomed, from Revolutionary Girl Utena- As Pearl flees through New Avalon, security forces of the Black Phoenix in hot pursuit. Duck and Run, by Three Doors Down- During the fight scene at the gates of New Avalon. Interlude: Mother The Promise, by Enya- As Buffy is musing over the appearance of her daughter. I am Buffy Summers, or so they tell me. I was a Slayer centuries ago, a hero in a world that didn't know that it needed a hero. I fought for the survival of the human race, and for the eradication of the demonic forces on Earth. I killed vampires, demons, and changlings. Then why does a changling call me Mother? The power went out a few hours ago. They tell me someone cracked the mainframe, and brought down the power systems of New Avalon. So I sit in the darkness of the gallery that holds pictures of what they tell me where my deeds. There's a gorgeous painting on the wall of me with my sword raised, gown swirling around me, along with red streaks that seem to be my blood. And then there's one of me standing triumphant, my stake sliding into the heart of a vampire. Chapter Four: Wastelands Champagne Supernova, by Oasis- As Pearl leaves the buggy behind and heads out towards Angelis.
