Prove Your Worth (Naoki and Fritz Collab)

[CHAPTER NOTES:] This second song chapter takes place just over a week after Naoki first rescues Fox from danger and made a vow to always protect her and keep her in his sight. He can't explain the new location they're in as a regular looking guy is coming their way... Fox immediately recognizes the other guy, and Naoki soon learns that he hasn't been the only protective friend in her life.

[spoken, shouted][FOX] "Naoki!! Wait, wait!! Hold on!!" "WHO THE FUCK ARE YOOOOOOU?!?!" [spoken, shouted][FOX] "Naoki!!!" [Verse 1, singing, soft and possessively protective towards FOX] Don't make a bad or risky move, By getting in front of me. I have to look out for you. You should not intervene. Just staaaaay BEHIND ME!! Just let me do the talking. You won't need to do anything. We're in an unknown setting. You will need protecting!! [singing in concern][FRITZ] Hey man, listen, I'm not your enemy. I'm someone she knows! I'm not even armed, see? [rapping, bristling in confrontation][NAOKI] (Stop! Stop!! Stop!!!) STOP!!! Not another step further! I don't know you. You don't get to touch her. Tell me who you are. I'm not letting her be harmed. You're the second normal human, I've seen in the span of a week. Won't let you get close, man. It's only to me you'll speak! [rapping, calm yet also concerned][FRITZ] Alright. If you let Fox talk, She'll clarify how she knows me. We're all on the same side. Please, just stop and BREATHE!!! My name is Fritz. You seem to be a new face. There's no danger over here. Right now, this is a safe space. [rapping, confrontational][NAOKI] And just where is "here"?!?! You know something? You better spill! I know this isn't Vortex World, There's no stench of demons I've killed!! Don't underestimaaaate. I'm more than I appear to beeee. Don't even hesitaaaate, When being honest with me. [Pre-Chorus 1, singing][FRITZ] I promise to be clear, And I will help to explain. You've rattled our friend here. Calm down. No need to cause any pain... You said you've killed monsters?!? We'll go over that laterrrr!! The present stress around us, Let's work to bring that lowerrrr!! Or you could ask Fox. She knows this place. No more freakouts. Let's just converse. Clarifyyyyy from her. She knows we're saaaafe!!! [Chorus 1, singing, reluctant][NAOKI] You keep saying you know her! I won't easily believe! You'll have to prove your worth. Then I could be at ease. [rapping] Show me your pockets, Not just open hands!!! Provide me no doubts!! Do you understand?!? My name is Naoki Kashima, The Demi-Fiend. Don't you dare try, To do anything obscene! [singing, Naoki's thoughts] (She depends on me... I'm going to keep her saaaaafe...) (Mine to protect. Miiiiiine...) [Verse 2, rapping][FRITZ] Okay, here are the inside of my pockets. Little to nothing but change and lint. I wouldn't hurt anyone. I'm harmless! Is there more you need to know? Say it. Dude, I would NEVER HARM FOX!! She's one of my closest friends! Go ahead and confirm with her. She would speak in my defense. [rapping, firm tone of voice][NAOKI] The current look in her eyes, That is all I need to see. So, now I realize, You're not lying to me. Still don't know where we are!!! Is that supposed to be a secret?!? [rapping][FRITZ] Not really. This is her head-space realm. Glad she's okay. I've been worried sick. You've kept her from harm. What the hell? Fox, I couldn't reach her during her absence. I need to know what happened. [Pre-Chorus 2, singing][NAOKI] I found her a week ago, She would have been demon chowwwww, If I hadn't saved her liiiiife. I still at all don't knowwww, Why she was out therrrre! We've asked ourselves whyyyyy! But that doesn't matter now!! If this "head-space" is hers, WHY COULDN'T SHE RETURN SOONER?!? Is this supposed to be her home? In this mysterious refuge, Is there really no danger? [Chorus 2, singing][FRITZ] Some of us had suspicion, Though there's no proof to be seen. Did this colossal eldritch horror, Pull some kind of twisted scheme?? Back to you about killing monsters!! We could really use your help!! To bring down their numbers. I'll say all about hers. About Xel'lotath... [Outro, spoken, caring] "Thank you for looking after Fox, Naoki." "Are you both alright? Are you hungry or thirsty?"
