The following story goes with my Current(week 35) Avatar Arena Entry:
(Week over. No more link.)

Once upon a time there was a grunny who wanted to start an Alt Metal band. Unfortunately, since he was a grunny, he had stubby little paws and we all know you can't be metal with stubby little paws.

So the grunny set out to find the first thing he'd need in order to start a band. Fingers. "That looks human," he said to himself as he found the source of those valuable fingers and jumped for the pointy-eared character walking by.

The next thing he needed, not being able to find interested bandmates, was a guitar. It was then that a dark demon emerged from the ground in a firey blaze. The demon spoke in a deep terrible voice and said, "I will be your guitar. I will be bass when you need bass and lead when you need lead and it will be METAL! But only if you give me the soul of that 'human' you posess. We've been trying to collect it for ages."

"Ok," the grunny answered, not being particularly attached to the thing's soul.

Happy, the demon pulled an orb of red light out of the 'human' and surrounded it, becoming a tormented-soul-powered guitar.

"I'll need an amp for which to plug in my new guitar," the grunny said, noticing the tail-like cord dangling by his borrowed legs.

At that moment, as he walked by the junkyard, a mechanical dog leaped out. "I will be your amp!," said the eager dog, "if you let me be by your side all the time."

"Ok," said the grunny, thinking there's always room for strange friends.

At that point, the heavens opened up and an angelic sound system came down from above. "I will be your sound system," said a strangely alluring voice from the floating wing-like speakers. "Sing into me and your songs will be heard. Scream into me and the masses will be made deaf... if only for a week following."

"Ok," said the grunny, and he accepted the sound system.

All was perfect, except for one thing. And that one thing was a drummer. So the grunny set out, joined by a demon guitar, a mechanical dog amp, and a sound system from heaven on his quest for a drummer.

(It wouldn't fit in the description even after editing it to below the 1000 character limit. mad )
