Lryics For Never going back to OK by The Afters

It's not the end but it feels as it is
I'm waking up like I'm back from the dead
I'm stepping out and I feel so afaid
But as long as I'm moving it's all right

I feel alive
And it hurts for a change
And looking back and it's hard to believe
That I was cool
With the days that I wasted complacent and tasteless and bored but
That was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

This discontent
Like a slap in the face
Of mediocre
I've had enough of this place
This party's over
And I'm moving away from the frills of you Beverly Hills but that was yesterday

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

We're here to stay
This is our time
Our only life
Our chance to live

We're never going back to OK
We're never going back to easy
We're never going back to the way it was
We're never going back to OK

Prologue: An Ancient Evil Returns

When we saw Emanuel, A.K.A. the Lord Of Shadows, he thought “The Protectors” was down to one member, him. 10 years have passed since we saw Emanuel last. The girl he protected was now married to him. He was happy with his new life. Emanuel was now 1988 years old, for it was 2022. Emanuel had to slay Sebastian 10 years ago, but now an ancient evil was rising. Emanuel still was on the hunt to find out who his father was, for he was created by shadows next to his father as he died. He went back to where he saw his father die. He saw a spirit lingering there, so he talked to him. It turned out to be Emanuel’s father. Emanuel asked his father about the ancient evil. The evil was nicknamed “The Serpent”. Emanuel also asked his father who he was, and his father said, “I’m the man who was to the left of Christ, the one who believed he was the Messiah. A man that was pure defeated the Serpent. The Serpent must be defeated by a man who has control over the shadows” Emanuel wished his father luck, not that he had any, and went home. At home he found out that a new person was there. It was his father! He greeted him and his father said, “I want to stay here, son.” Emanuel said okay, and his father, being a spirit, went through the ceiling to the guest room and got comfortable. It wasn’t hard for him to get comfortable. Emanuel sighed and went to talk to his father to find out one more thing. Once there, he asked his father, “Who was my mother?” His father said, “You had no mother. You were born from the shadows. You appeared right in front of me and I knew you were my son, somehow. I heard something about my son being born in the time I least expected it. After my death, my spirit stayed here on Earth, so I talked to you, saying what I heard someone say to me. You were born to bring the darkness into the light.”

Emanuel: Chapter 10: The End?

Emanuel was upset that “The Protectors” were down to him, but he was grateful that the battle was over. He left to go help the girl he protected when she needed him. He helped her while being in his first piece of protection when he was in medieval times. He was a knight that didn’t have a sword, though. Instead he had the shadows to help him. He attacked his enemies by knocking them out. He eventually told the girl he protected who he was. She was surprised, of course. When he was with her, he was a good fighter, he was always getting hurt.

Emanuel: Chapter 9: The Last Man Standing

The snipers were the first to go. They didn’t stand a chance against Sebastian’s army. Delta Three lasted a lot longer, since they had close range guns. Emanuel attacked Sebastian by surprise. The sword grazed Sebastian, but he bellowed in pain. “Good thing I grabbed this sword first.” Emanuel yelled to his army. When he looked to see how the two armies were doing, no one was left! It was he and Sebastian now. Sebastian grabbed another sword and attacked Emanuel. Emanuel tricked Sebastian into thinking he was attacking left, and at the last second, he attacked to the right. Sebastian was gone. Emanuel was left.

Emanuel: Chapter 8: The Final Battle Begins

Emanuel lead his protectors to Sebastian. Sebastian let them through to meet him. “So, the Lord Of Shadows is here.” Sebastian boomed. Emanuel just grabbed the sword that was Sebastian’s bane in the first battle. Emanuel sliced with all his strength at Sebastian with his sword. It didn’t even leave a mark on Sebastian. “That sword is nothing, now!” Sebastian roared at Emanuel. Emanuel noticed a sword next to Sebastian, so he grabbed the sword and his army attacked Sebastian’s. The battle was on!

Alpha Squadron: Chapter 7: Razor Six Four In Charge

Razor Six Three was using her acrobatic abilities to go ahead of her group. This group liked having her as their leader. During one of these happenings, Razor Six Three got ambushed and both sniper groups went to help her, but they were to late. Razor Six Four was the last leader. Both groups were now one. The Lord Of Shadows was alone out of the first three protectors. The girl Emanuel protected was unharmed. Emanuel spent a little bit of time with her to get away from the war. Razor Six Two was in charge while he was gone. The ground troops, the ones who weren’t snipers, were called Delta Three. When Emanuel came back, he said, “Let’s go meet Sebastian once and for all!” So they marched to Sebastian’s base.

Alpha Squadron, Razor Six Five: Chapter 6: Razor Six Five’s Group Rebels Against Razor Six Five

Razor Six Five’s group hated him. He made them go faster than they were supposed to. Nehemiah just wanted to see the other group. His group decided to tie him up and execute him. While the group was planning, Razor Six Five warned Razor Six Four. Razor Six Four’s group came to help, but were to late, Razor Six Five was gone. Razor Six Five was furious. He executed Razor Six Five’s old group in front of the troops and after that, he asked the crowd who wanted to become elite snipers. Only nine wanted to be, so Mary spoke up then and wanted to take Nehemiah’s place. Emanuel let her be Razor Six Three and to lead Razor Six Five's group.
