*considers bring Jimi Hendrix back to life, or at least summoning his ghost, so he can show these fools how to really play. Decides to wait a bit before stirring any more trouble up*

*Deciding that's the last straw, the bombshell goddess stands up on top of the wall. She lifts both feet off the wall, and floats in mid air with her legs crossed, her head not moving at all. She closes her eyes, and concentrates, slowly a sound builds up from who knows where. As it increases in volume, one can hear that it's a familiar tune, especially to those who call the USA home... but it doesn't sound quite normal. At the bottom of the wall, a purple haze gathers and the form of a guitar begins to take shape. The haze clears and a ghostly form of a man can be seen. He's busy playing on the guitar the song which can now be recognised by most as the United State's national anthem, but only as this one man can play it.*

*Hastily averts his eyes. Wonders why Apollo isn't playing his banjo, but realizes that it would be a poor accompanyment to the guitar riffs sounding below. Gazes at the walls of the fort, with its watchtowers at each corner and wonders if the apparition will play "All along the watchtower".

*Looks puzzled. Looks at broken banjo. Looks at Apollo. Hits Apollo with own banjo. Goes cross-eyed. Falls over.*
