The book revealed that the musical artists that are associated with Earl on Earth are actually aliens used by him to make music worthy of the Gold Records. They happened upon a journal that was titled Veridis Quo that described exactly what Earl de Darkwood's origins and plans are. The Crescendolls eventually reached a great castle-like mansion. The four agreed to check it out and drove off (' Voyager'). This was the same place that appeared on a card that Stella found earlier. While driving away, the band screeched to a halt in front of a road sign to Darkwood Manor. At night, the band watched Shep's spiritual essence emerging from the ground and rocketing into the stars.

The group later found a giant tree and buried Shep at its base. The band expressed their gratitude as Shep died as the group mourned his death (' Something About Us'). Shep revealed The Crescendolls' true identities. She took it and experienced a dream sequence which was similar to the one that Shep experienced earlier. The reunited band gathered around a dying Shep who raised his injured arm out to Stella. The two entered a waiting taxi which was driven by Octave and escaped (' High Life'). When the Golden Record was awarded to The Crescendolls, Baryl used the anti-mind control device on Stella and beckoned her to follow. Still under the control of Earl, Stella was later taken to a 'Gold Record Award' ceremony which The Crescendolls along with the other three bands including Daft Punk (Making a surprise cameo) received a nomination. During a chase, Earl's bodyguards caught up to the van in two black cars and mortally wounded Shep before crashing into a semi-truck (' Superheroes'). Leaving Stella behind, Shep and the others hijacked a van and attempted an escape. Shep rocketed into the stadium and fired a device at Arpegius, Baryl and Octave, freeing all except Stella from the effects of their mind control devices. Earl de Darkwood appeared on the stage and directed an orchestra. The band later appeared in a concert at a crowded arena. While this was happening, Shep walked on the streets at night and discovered what was done to his heroes (' Nightvision'). The fame had its disadvantages as the exhausted members of the band are forced to sign large amounts of marketing material. In no time, The Crescendolls became a worldwide phenomenon (' Crescendolls'). The names of the protagonists are revealed: Stella (Bass guitarist), Arpegius (Guitarist), Baryl (Drummer), and Octave (Keyboardist/vocalist). The band, now named The Crescendolls produced their hit single, 'One More Time'. The band's captor ( Earl de Darkwood) in the guise of a manager took them to a recording studio where a record deal was made. They are redressed and implanted with mind control devices (' Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger'). The band was skin-painted and hair-dyed to resemble humans. Their old memories are archived and stored on discs. Each member of the group was stripped of their alien garb and had their memories rewritten. Within a large underground facility, the band went through an entirely automated process while they are unconscious. Shep and his ship crash-landed into a dense forest (' Digital Love'). The kidnappers quickly brought the band off as an unidentified leader watched. During a chase sequence, Shep and the kidnapping vessel traveled through a wormhole and eventually landed on Earth. After receiving the call, Shep was determined to save the band and rocketed off in pursuit of the kidnappers. Just as the couple are about to kiss, the alert finally reached him and brought Shep out of his dream. He dozed off and was visited by an apparition of Stella. When Shep was first seen, he was daydreaming about Stella who was the bassist player of the kidnapped band. The four musicians are kidnapped and beamed aboard a large space vessel (' Aerodynamic').Ī distress signal was sent out to a nearby ship that was piloted by Shep. At the end of the song, a team of humanoid troops appeared and subdued everyone with gas including the band on stage except Arpegius who briefly escaped from the premises before being subdued by one of the humanoid troops that are sent to capture him. The story began in a parallel galaxy where the four blue-skinned music stars on an alien planet are performing the song, ' One More Time' to a similarly blue-skinned audience.
