[I]The two begin to soar across the sky, flying over iconic buildings like Instagram and Facebook and even over Microsoft. Eventually, they come across a gaping hole in a rather dark part of the city.[/I]

Hatsune Miku: Hold on, now! We’re going down!

Yuri: Wait, are you sure about this?!

[I]Miku completely ignores Yuri and dives into the hole. With that, they are met with a deep darkness and an entire world of shady looking Netizens.

The Deep Darks of SEKAI-93 — The Darknet.

Miku begins to lower herself down before setting Yuri and herself on to the ground.[/I]

Yuri: Miku…? Did you, by any chance, take us to the Darknet?

Hatsune Miku: Huh? What’s that?

Yuri: … N-nevermind.

[I]Yuri taps his foot a few times, arms crossed and taking in the details of the strange and suspicious landscape. Many of the Netizens around the place didn’t seem very trustworthy.[/I]

Yuri: We should hurry up and find them. Can’t be hanging around this place for too long. I mean, the people around here don’t seem very… Trustworthy.

Hatsune Miku: Hmph. You scared?

[I]Yuri sighs[/I]

Yuri: Come on. Let’s move.

[I]Yuri and Miku begin to make their way around the dark expanse, passing by several billboards, many of them advertising illegal products. The area gave a dark, foreboding atmosphere that whispered to them that they shouldn’t be here. Suddenly, a virus comes out of nowhere and starts biting on Miku’s leg.[/I]

Hatsune Miku: AHH!! GET IT OFF! GET IT OFF OF ME, YURI!!

[I]Yuri immediately reacts by kicking the virus off Miku’s leg, which it then lands inside a trash can[/I]

Hatsune Miku: Hmph. Why didn’t you kick it away from me before it bit me?

Yuri: How was I supposed to know?! Geez, you’re such a pain…

[I]Yuri and Miku continue to make their way around the place until finally arriving in front of a seemingly abandoned building.[/I]

Hatsune Miku: They’re in there.

Yuri: Are you sure?

Hatsune Miku: YES I AM! QUIT QUESTIONING ME!

[I]Yuri walks over to the door and knocks on it.[/I]

Yuri: Hello? Is somebody in there?

[I]There was a long silence before the door cracked open and a whisper could be heard.[/I]

???: Who is it?

Yuri: Umm… Hi, my name is Yuri. I came here to see if there were any Vocaloids in there. You know what they are, right?

[I]The mysterious person’s eyes widened in shock and the voice became rough.[/I]

???: It’s only me in here! Go away!

[I]The door slams shut and Yuri flinches slightly. He sighs.[/I]

Yuri: Welp, there you have it, Miku. We came here for nothing.

Hatsune Miku: Wait. Let me try…

[I]Miku approaches the door herself and knocks on it.[/I]

???: I said it’s only me in here! Go away!

Hatsune Miku: Wait! Just listen!

[I]There was a short silence and the voice began to speak up once more, this time with a drastically different tone.[/I]

???: … That voice… It couldn’t be…

[I]The door cracks open one more time.[/I]

???: Is it really you…?

[I]The mysterious person takes a good look at Hatsune Miku, and her eyes widen in shock. A gasp could be heard.[/I]

???: It is… It really is you!

[I]The door flips wide open, revealing a short, Japanese woman.

Hatsune Miku’s Original Voice Provider — Saki Fujita.

Hatsune Miku’s eyes widened in shock. She seemed to recognize Fujita’s face.[/I]

Saki Fujita: I’ve been trying to find you for what feels like forever… And… You just came… As if you knew how to get here…

[I]Fujita looks over to Yuri with slightly suspicious eyes.[/I]

Saki Fujita: … Were you the guy who knocked on my door the first time?

[I]Yuri comes closer to be able to introduce himself. As he walked closer, he began to notice how strangely realistic she looked, almost like she was from another dimension, much like the No Anime Police.[/I]

Yuri: Well, uhh, excuse me for that. You see, we actually came here because Miku here told me that there were others like her here. Isn’t that right, Miku?

[I]Yuri pats Miku on the back, but she didn’t respond. The shock had her paralyzed and she eventually fell to her knees and began to have strange flashbacks. Flashbacks from her past.[/I]

Yuri: Miku? Miku??? Are you ok?

[I]Miku continued to have her flashbacks until she finally responds.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: I… I… I… Remember her…

Yuri: You… You what?

Hatsune Miku: … But… From where…? How do I remember her…?

 Saki Fujita: Hmm. Seems like she’s lost her memories, just like the others. Although… She’s the only one who actually remembers my face.

[I]Yuri’s eyes widen as he listens to her.[/I]

Yuri: Wait… What do you mean by “others?” And how does Miku even know who you are?! Seriously! What is going o-

[I]Fujita quickly puts a finger over Yuri’s lips, an anxious expression on her face.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Shhh!!!

[I]Just then, a helicopter patrolling the area comes near the building they were all in front of, it’s bright light shining over the surface of the ground, searching for anything suspicious. Yuri noticed the lettering on the side of it. “N.A.P.D.,” it spelt. Soon enough, the helicopter continues its search elsewhere and Fujita begins to calm down.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Let’s go inside. It’s too dangerous to stay out here for any longer, much more with her.

[I]Miku begins to stand up, her legs trembling and both Yuri and Miku head inside the old building.

Upon entering, they were met with what seemed to be a safe house, similar to the one Yuri and Miku had gone into upon beginning their adventure. The style and layout was the same too, just more messy. There seems to be stuff laying all over the place, possibly stuff that was scavenged throughout the Internet. Miku begins to calm down as Fujita begins to speak up again.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Forgive me for the mess, I haven’t had enough time to pick up. So, you say you wanted to see the other Vocaloids?

Yuri: Correct.

Saki Fujita: Hm. Very well, then. Follow me.

[I]Fujita begins to lead the way as Yuri and Miku follow along. She brings the two through a door that lead into what looked like a lab of sorts. Inside, there were five containers, similar to the one Miku recharged in. One of them was twice the size of the other ones, as if it were designed for two. Each one had a different color, though one of them seemed to be empty.[/I]

Saki Fujita: They’re all inside these containers. They’ve all been in here for a while now, so they must be all rested up.

[I]Fujita begins yelling to them.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Okay, everyone! You can come out now!

[I]At the sound of Fujita’s voice, the doors to all of the containers open, as the entities stored inside them come out, revealing themselves.

The Many Sounds of the Future — The Vocaloids.

Their names are Kagamine Rin, Kagamine Len, Gumi, Kaito, and Meiko.[/I] 

[url=https://www.nationstates.net/page=dispatch/id=2002713]The Vocaloids[/url]
(Here are their images.)

Kagamine Rin: Ah, finally! A breath of fresh air!

Kagamine Len: Pfft. You can’t even breath…

Kagamine Rin: Oh, would you shut up already?!

[I]Len begins to mock her voice.[/I]

Kagamine Len: “Oh, wouwld you shuwt up alweady?”

Yuri: Uhh…

[I]Kaito then walks up to Yuri, puts his hand over his chest, and bends over a little in a kind of bowing gesture.[/I]

Kaito: A pleasure to meet you. My name is Kaito. What might be yours?

Yuri: Oh, uhh, it’s Yuri.

[I]Gumi then walks up to Yuri and begins to speak up.[/I]

Gumi: Hi there! My name’s Gumi! What’s you-

[I]Suddenly, Gumi starts shaking, her eyes glitching out, and her yellow eyes suddenly become red.[/I]

Gumi: YOU! WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU DOING IN MY FACE?!

Yuri: Huh?! What the?!

[I]Gumi glitches out once more and her eyes become blue. She starts speaking in a shy tone now.[/i]

Gumi: Oh… No no no! I’m so sorry… I… I didn’t mean to scream at you…

[I]Yuri scratches his head in confusion.[/I]

Yuri: What’s going on with her?

Saki Fujita: Oh, forgot to tell you this. Gumi here is a special case. For some reason, there seems to be a glitch in her programming that created four personalities in her that she switches between at random. I haven’t been able to figure out the source of the problem, though.

Yuri: … Well that… Might be a bit of a problem.

[I]Immediately, Gumi’s eyes turn into a purple color.[/I]

Gumi: Ha! Why am I even talking to a loser like you? You’re not even worth my time. Get out of my sight.

Yuri: This… Is not going to be fun.

[I]Just then, Meiko begins to approach Yuri and pushes both Kaito and Gumi out of the way.[/I]

Meiko: Step aside, everyone. I got this.

[I]Meiko pulls out from behind her back a large red-bladed scythe and lunges at Yuri, with the intent to kill him.[/I]

Yuri: WHOOAH!!!

[I]Yuri immediately jumps to the side, barely missing Meiko’s attack. She gets ready to swing her scythe at Yuri again, but Fujita grabs the weapon from Meiko before she could kill him.[/I]

Saki Fujita: That’s enough terrorizing, Meiko. No more killing.

Meiko: Aw, geez. I was so close, too.

[I]Fujita then looks at Yuri.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Sorry about that. You see, Meiko here is a little… insane. In other words, she has a lust for blood.

Yuri: Yeah, I think “insane” might be a bit of an understatement.

[I]Just then, Len notices Hatsune Miku’s presence, and in a matter of seconds, his eyes convert into hearts.[/I]

Kagamine Len: Miku! I didn’t even notice you there! You’re looking beautiful today!

[I]Miku facepalms her face in annoyance and sighs[/I]

Hatsune Miku: Aw, great. He’s still his same old moronic self.

[I]Yuri stares at Len with a blank expression on his face, then turns to Fujita.[/I]

Yuri: Is this all of them?

Saki Fujita: Well, they’re the only ones I could find, so yeah. I had prepared that extra container for Miku, but it seems like she won’t be needing it anymore.

Yuri: Great! Miku, get ready to teleport us all to another universe.

Saki Fujita: Whoa, slow down. You can’t do that.

[I]Yuri frowns at that response.[/I]

Yuri: Well, why not? I promise I won’t damage them or anything.

Saki Fujita: It’s not that. You physically can’t take them out of this universe.

[I]Yuri’s look of confusion comes back to him.[/I]

Yuri: Huh? What is that supposed to mean?

[I]Fujita begins to lean on a wall and sighs, her head down.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Tell me. Did you have to upload Miku into an android body?

Yuri: Well, yeah, but what does that got to do with anything?

Saki Fujita: Before you had uploaded her, how did you even gain access to her A.I.?

Yuri: I mean, I listened to this song and after I finished, I got an alert saying that my Wi-Fi was breached and I-

Saki Fujita: Ok, stop there. That’s the point. The Vocaloids right now are in their A.I. state, meaning that they don’t have actual android bodies yet. And due to the Internet being more of a metaverse than an actual universe, that means that they’re stuck here. The only way to actually pull them out of here is by going through the same process you went through with Miku.

Yuri: Oh, well then that’s easy to fix. Miku and me can just go back to my universe and I can just download them on my compu-

Saki Fujita: Hold on. There’s another problem. Hey, Miku. How were you able to get yourself downloaded on the device that you had met Yuri in?

Hatsune Miku: Oh! Well, first, I woke up in this random place inside the Internet. It felt like I had been sleeping forever. Then, I had started flying around, and before I knew it, NAPD was after me. Of course, I had escaped them without much problem, as I always do. Soon, I decided to search around for Yuri, though I’m not exactly sure why Yuri had come up in my mind. I went to the Internet lobby, accessed one of the download devices, and I found Yuri’s profile! From there on out, all I had to do was wait for Yuri to play my song, and boom! I was there!

[I]Fujita then looks back to Yuri and continues to speak.[/I]

Saki Fujita: There. That’s the problem. In order to actually be able to pull them out of the Internet and into whatever device you plan to use, you have to take all of the Vocaloids back to the lobby and get them all to a download device. And, uhh, let’s be real, I don’t think it would be that hard for NAPD to catch a glimpse of a bunch of flying Vocaloids.

Yuri: Well, can’t we just use those weird box vehicles?

Saki Fujita: Nope. NAPD constantly checks and scans almost every single one that passes through the Internet. It’s too risky. So that means you’re going to have to walk.

Yuri: Oh, right… That might take a while…

[I]Fujita sighs once more.[/I]

Saki Fujita: Well, anyway, have you, by any chance, been able to eat anything this morning?

Yuri: Uhh, no, not really. I was kind of rushed into this place by Miku. But yeah, I am pretty hungry.

Saki Fujita: I see. Come on. I’ll prepare some food for you in the microwave. No point in traveling such a long distance on an empty stomach.

[I]Fujita goes through the door that led back to the main room and motions Yuri and the others to follow. The party soon makes it back to the main room.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Make yourself at home.

[I]The Vocaloids begin to converse with each other, with Len gawking over Miku, Rin trying to cheer Gumi up, with Gumi in her shy personality, and Meiko threatening to kill Kaito, for some odd reason. 

Yuri finds a couch at the corner of the room and sits on it. Fujita then pulls out some containers that contained ramen and inserts them in a microwave. She presses some buttons on it, and soon enough, the microwave began to heat up the food inside.

After a while, the microwave makes a beeping sound and Fujita opens it, takes out the containers, and grabs a leek from a cabinet, as well as some chopsticks. She then offers Yuri the ramen and the leek, as well as the chopsticks.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Here. Eat.

Yuri: Uhh… Why a leek, too?

Saki Fujita: Just be grateful you’re not eating garbage out of the dumpsters outside.

[I]Yuri takes the items and opens up the container filled with ramen. Fujita sits on the chair parallel to him and begins to open her ramen container. As they both begin eating, Yuri begins to speak up.[/i]

Yuri: Mmm. You seem to know a lot about the Vocaloids. 

Saki Fujita: Yep. Been trying to hide them from NAPD for a while now. It’s weird how they showed up all of a sudden, though. 

[I]Yuri thinks to himself for a minute,  then remembers hearing what was said on the police radio that time him and Miku were being pursued.[/I]

Yuri: Hmm… I’m curious. Have you, by any chance, heard about some guy named the Weeber?

[I]Fujita’s eyes widen in shock once more as she spits out her food. She remains silent for a while before she begins to speak up.[/i]

Saki Fujita: … Where… Where have you heard that name?

Yuri: I heard it when I was being pursued by the No Anime Police. They only mentioned him because I was driving around in a vehicle that apparently used to belong to him.

Saki Fujita: Wait! But that would mean… You found one of his safe houses! How?!

Yuri: Same way I found this place. Miku led me.

[I]Yuri begins to notice the layout of the interior once more.[/i]

Yuri: By the way, I noticed the styling of this place looks a lot like the layout of that safe house I had slept in yesterday.

[I]Fujita sighs, and thinks to herself for a while.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Well… I suppose I should explain all of this stuff to you… How I know the Vocaloids, the Weeber, everything…

[I]Fujita sighs once more, and Yuri leans in slightly, prepared to take in the information.[/i]

Saki Fujita: You, see, the Weeber used to be the biggest threat against NAPD. He was the first man to ever make it on their “Most Wanted” list. And he was the leader of a large multiversal criminal organization known as the Anime Cartel. To my knowledge, I believe he’s went into hiding ever since, meaning that he might still be leading that organization. 

Anyway, 3 billion years ago, the Weeber had made a business deal with a multiversal company known as Crypton Future Media. Together, they were able to design and create the Vocaloid known as Hatsune Miku.

Yuri: Wait! You mean that guy created Miku?! And hold on! Does… Does that mean she’s 3 BILLION years old?! How?!

Saki Fujita: Just let me continue explaining. You see, the Weeber required many elements in order to be able to create Miku. I was an important involvement in Miku's creation. You see, I was the one who supplied the voice donation for her voice. It’s why you might have noticed that my voice sounds very similar to Miku’s

Yuri: You know what? It actually does… Well that explains a lot.

Saki Fujita: Yeah. Moving forward, the Weeber required Miku to have a power beyond our comprehension in order for her to combat NAPD. Thus, the Weeber had infused her A.I. with reality-warping abilities. I’m not exactly sure how he was able to do it, though.

Yuri: Would this explain how Miku can teleport between universes and change her clothing instantaneously?

Saki Fujita: Mhm. She can do a lot more than just those things, though. Anyway,  CFM was involved in creating the android body and her A.I. as well. The Weeber wouldn’t have been able to continue his research without them, seeing as they were the ones who supplied all the resources. Thus, they were able to create the strongest weapon against NAPD.

They codenamed the whole experiment “PROJECT DIVA.” In order to keep the project a secret, CFM created rhythm games with the same name for a universe named SEKAI-0, the universe where I came from. The games helped throw NAPD off our trail. It’s also one of the reasons Miku quickly started gaining popularity throughout the multiverse. Soon enough, when she was successfully created, The Weeber had taken her throughout different universes to fight against NAPD.

[I]Yuri remembers NAPD mentioning that title. “The Strongest Weapon Against NAPD.”[/I]

Saki Fujita: Miku’s powers were so potent, in fact, that she managed to take out half of NAPD at one point. Take note of the fact that this was at a time when NAPD was in their peak moment.

Yuri: Wha… But then… How did she not manage to completely wipe out the entirety of NAPD if she was that powerful?

Saki Fujita: I’ll get to that part in a bit. Anyway, the reason why the other Vocaloids were created was because they were a sort of safety measure the Weeber had made as reinforcements for Miku. However, they were also created as a secondary safety measure to prevent Miku from feeling lonely and eventually losing control of her.

Yuri: Ah, makes sense. Hmm… Speaking of which, how do I activate Miku’s powers?

Saki Fujita: Well, if you haven’t noticed already, due to being a sentient A.I., Miku’s reality-warping abilities are powered by emotions. Why the Weeber designed her like that, I’ve never figured out. The more emotion she feels, the more powerful she gets. However, her abilities can differ depending on what emotion is being amplified.

[I]Yuri sighs deeply, remembering Miku’s love for him.[/i]

Yuri: Well that’s gonna be a big problem for me. You see, Miku has a sort of crush on me. I don’t even know why she does, considering the fact that I’ve never even met her before.

Saki Fujita: Well that’s… Strange. I don’t think the Weeber ever intended for that to happen. Or, at least, not to my knowledge. 

[I]Yuri sighs once more, thinking about what to say. He begins to speak up once more.[/i]

Yuri: In whatever case, this would mean that she has the power to destroy any massive organization, correct?

Saki Fujita: As I said before, it depends on what emotion she channels. She can either destroy NAPD, or destroy the multiverse. 

Yuri: Whoa. That powerful, huh? It’s a surprise she hasn’t been able to destroy NAPD already.

Saki Fujita: Well, you see, that’s the thing. There was a point in time where the Weeber was pressured by CFM to put an end to the project, thus forcing him to delete the Vocaloids, including Hatsune Miku. Unfortunately, I was not there at the time, so I don’t exactly know why they did it. All I know is that for whatever reason, some of the Vocaloids came back without warning, and I’ve been taking care of them ever since.

Yuri: Oh… That’s unfortunate. The Weeber sounded like he was a good guy.

Saki Fujita: I wouldn’t bet my money on that. I have a feeling that the Weeber had another goal in mind. And not a good one either. You see, the Weeber had certain ideologies that sound rather… Cruel, to say the least.

Yuri: Huh… So how do these safe houses fit in to the picture, anyway?

Saki Fujita: The safe houses were created throughout the multiverse in order for Miku and the Weeber to hide and prepare for a fight against Anti Anime forces. I believe that car you used to evade them used to be one of the vehicles the Weeber may have used back in the day.

[I]Fujita thinks for a while and realizes something.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Speaking of which, I think I might have a hunch as to how Miku may have found this place.

[I]Fujita places her empty container to the side and stands up.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Hey, Miku! I need you to come here for a sec.

Hatsune Miku: Huh? Me? Ok then.

[I]Miku begins to walk towards Fujita. Upon arriving, Fujita moves behind Miku and opens a panel on her back, exposing several buttons and knobs.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: Hey! What are you doing?! Leave me alone!

Saki Fujita: Just shut up and stay still. And bend down a little, would ya?

[I]Miku sighs and bends forward a bit, giving Fujita easier access to all the electronics. After a few button presses and a few knob switches, a blue hologram projects over Miku’s back. It seems to be some sort of map.[/i]

Saki Fujita: I knew it. 

[I]Yuri notices the map and, full of curiosity, immediately stands up and takes a look.[/i]

Yuri: Whoa! What’s that?

Saki Fujita: Well, this seems to be a sort of multiversal map, connecting a set of certain universes together. This is what Miku was following, which means that she wasn’t just going to different universes at random. She was going through a set path.

Yuri: Oh… Do you know why she’s even following this map in the first place?

Saki Fujita: Well, I’m not sure… I assume that this map must’ve been created from her memories, so my best guess is that her destination might be important.

[I]Fujita takes a look at some of the universes.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Hmm. Seems like some of the exact destination details are corrupted.

Yuri: Hmm… I think it might have something to do with her memories.

Saki Fujita: Huh? What do you mean?

Yuri: I’ve been noticing that when Miku spends enough time in a universe, she suddenly seems to recover some memories, and sometimes even coordinates of certain locations, which might be how we found this place.

Saki Fujita: Yes, that would make sense. In theory, these might be universes she’s visited before, maybe back when she was with the Weeber.

[I]Yuri notices this one universe that was red instead of blue. The two trails that connected between that universe were red as well, and there was a blue line that connected the other universes between it. Yuri points at that red universe.[/i]

Yuri: What’s that?

Saki Fujita: That? Hmm… I believe know what that’s supposed to symbolize. It’s a dead universe. 

Yuri: What?

Saki Fujita: It’s a dead universe. But it didn’t die naturally. Assuming that these were locations Miku had gone to before, NAPD must’ve destroyed that universe.

[I]Yuri’s blood ran cold, as a million questions ran through his head.[/i]

Yuri: What? Why?! Why would they do that?! Why would they just go ahead and kill a universe like that?! Don’t they realize there might’ve been millions or even billions of lives in there?!

[I]Fujita closes the panel on Miku’s back, shutting off the hologram. She sighs deeply.[/i]

Saki Fujita: You don’t know much about the No Anime Police, do you?

Yuri: Well, I… Uhh, not really…

[I]Fujita sighs once again, as she attempts to force the words out.[/i]

Saki Fujita: As you may already know, the No Anime Police is a multiversal police force dedicated to destroying anime throughout the multiverse. The reason as to why they carry out their purpose is because they believe that anime has corrupted and ruined the lives of millions of people. Specifically from my universe.

I’m pretty sure you’ve already noticed this, but due to me coming from a real life universe, it means that I’m a realistic person. Due to your 3D anime style, I would assume that you come from an anime universe.

Yuri: Yeah, I have noticed that you looked strangely realistic, similar to some of the Anti Anime cops.

Saki Fujita: That’s the point. NAPD focuses on healing “real life” universes. Especially my universe. You see, SEKAI-0 is considered an original universe, which means it was one of the first universes to ever come into existence.

Now, the thing is that many real life universes have anime shows and anime movies, as well as manga. NAPD believes that these things are corrupting the minds of many people, and that wehraboos, or weebs for short, waste their lives obsessing over anime and so-called “waifus.” They believe that by eliminating anime throughout the multiverse, then anime can no longer exist in real life universes and the multiverse will be healed. However, that makes them far from being the good guys.

As I’ve said before, their objective is to destroy anime universes, or at least get rid of all anime lives in them. What’s worse, they do it in some of the cruelest ways possible; They either burn them with flamethrowers, shoot them, blow them up, etcetera, etcetera. As for weebs and otakus or even just anime enthusiasts alike, they quote on quote “rehabilitate” them. By rehabilitate, I mean they burn any anime things they own, strap a special kind of helmet on them, and when they activate it, the victim’s mind is washed out of anything related to anime, and replaces that with anti anime thoughts. It’s how they are able to get new recruits. And they do this all in the name of their so-called “Anti Anime Justice.”

Yuri: But that’s… So inhumane… Why would they do that?

[I]Fujita’s voice grows harsh.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Because they’re a bunch of killers and murderers. Most of them kill just for the fun of it. In truth, they’re monsters at heart. Beings that shouldn’t even be considered human. It’s why I agreed to supply Miku’s voicebank.

[I]Fujita sighs, this time with a hint of sadness.[/i]

Saki Fujita: I’m sorry you had to get dragged into all of this. I’m sure your normal life must be much more simpler, and I don’t blame you if you want to leave the Vocaloids with me and go home…

[I]Yuri closes his eyes for a while, thinking to himself. Suddenly, a wide smile appears on his face as he begins to speak again.[/i]

Yuri: Don’t worry about it. I can manage.

Saki Fujita: Well… If you really mean that… I’ve about told you everything I know. I trust that you’ll bring the other Vocaloids back out into the physical world.

Yuri: Why not come with us?

Saki Fujita: Nah. I think I’ve had enough adventure for one lifetime. Plus, I’d be too much of a risk, seeing as NAPD knows who I am and that I was involved in PROJECT DIVA.

Yuri: Well, I guess I’ve got nothing more to say other than goodbye. Thanks for everything. 

Saki Fujita: No. Thank you. Because of you, I can finally rest easy now, knowing that the Vocaloids will be safe.

[I]Yuri smiles once more, ready to move on.[/i]

Yuri: Heh, you’re welcome. 

[I]Yuri opens the front door, before calling to the Vocaloids.[/i]

Yuri: Alright, everyone! Follow me! 

[I]Fujita begins to speak up one last time.[/i]

Saki Fujita: Oh! Yuri! One last thing. Beware the Anti Anime Affiliates.

Yuri: Uhh, sure.

[I]Yuri then looks over to Miku[/i]

Yuri: Miku! Think you can teleport us all back to the surface?

Hatsune Miku: Mhm! I cam certainly do that!

[I]After Yuri and the Vocaloids exit the safe house, Yuri grabs Miku’s hand and they blast off into the sky. The rest of the Vocaloids soon follow.

Reality starts to fade around them once more, and soon enough, they were back up to the surface. They all quickly land back on the ground, aware that NAPD might be looking everywhere for them.[/i]

Yuri: Ok, let’s get moving quickly.

[i]The party begins to make their way through the city, passing by Netizens and making it in front of a hovering sign. The sign said “LOBBY.”[/i]

Yuri: Well, I think I know where to start. Everyone good back there?

Kagamine Rin: Yeah!

Kaito: All good here.

Gumi: Uhuh! I’m goo-o-o-o-

NO, I’M NOT FINE!!!

Kagamine Len: Meiko’s threatening me again!!

Meiko: Just shut up and let me kill you!

Kagamine Len: AAH!!!

[I]Yuri chuckles a bit.[/i]

Yuri: Good. Wait, where’s Miku?

[I]Miku, who was right beside him this whole time, speaks up.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: I’m right here, idiot!

Yuri: AH!! Geez! You scared me!

[I]Miku begins to yell at Yuri with an angry tone.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: What do you mean?! How could you be scared of your super cute princess?!

[I]Yuri sighs again, facepalming his face.[/i]

Yuri: For the last time, you’re not my princess. Cut the crap already.

Hatsune Miku: Hmph.

[I]The party continues to move through the streets of the massive city. As they walk, Yuri thinks to himself and decides to talk to Miku.[/i]

Yuri: Hey, uhh, Miku. I have a few questions to ask...

[I]Miku was still irked off and speaks in a harsh tone.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: What do you want?

Yuri: Look, just calm down. This is serious.  So... Do you remember anything from your past?  I mean... Anything in particular?

Hatsune Miku: Well… I remember the Weeber, for some reason… I know I was something important to him… But…

Yuri: Well… Do you remember the title… “The Strongest Weapon Against NAPD?”

[I]Miku’s pupils dilate in shock, a small gasp escaping her mouth as she tries to deny it.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: … I don’t want to talk about that…

Yuri: Hmm? Well, why not?

[I]Miku closes her eyes, head down, a hint of sadness on her face.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: … I just dont…

[I]Yuri notices Miku’s visible sadness and begins to feel concerned.[/i]

Yuri: Miku… Are you ok? Was it something I said?

Hatsune Miku: Can… We just… Talk about something else…?

Yuri: Ok, sure… Anyway, what powers do you think you might have?

[I]Hatsune Miku's mood returns to a more cheerful mood.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: Well, I don’t know yet. But I’m sure we’ll find out soon!

[I]Suddenly, a big screen attached to one of the skyscrapers switches to an image of a perfume commercial, showing a handsome boy on it. Rin loses focus and soon enough, Yuri realizes that she was falling behind.[/i]

Yuri: Rin! What are you doing?!

[I]Rin doesn’t respond. She continues staring at the image, her eyes replaced with hearts, as she starts to drool.[/i]

Kagamine Rin: He’s sooooo cute… Marry me…

Yuri: A- RIN! IT’S JUST AN IMAGE! STOP SIMPING FOR IT!

[I]The screen switches to another ad, and Rin regains awareness.[/i]

Kagamine Rin: Huh? What? You called?

Yuri: Just… Keep moving, and stop distracting yourself with those kinds of things…

[I]Before he knew it, Len too was losing focus, as he had started following some of the female Netizens.[/i]

Yuri: WHAT?! LEN!!

[I]He grabs onto Len’s wrist and drags him back to the group, noticing his heart eyes. Len begins to speak.[/i]

Kagamine Len: Don’t worry! I’ll always have a special place in my heart for all you gorgeous girls!

Yuri: Len! Pull it together! They can’t even hear you! They’re just users!

Kagamine Len: Pfft. Well, if anything, I’ll just send them an email or a text message.

Kagamine Rin: Ugh. You’ve got to stop being such a simp. So immature…

Yuri: It’s not like you’re any better yourself, Rin!

[I]Suddenly, Gumi’s eyes turn purple, and she begins to speak up.[/i]

Gumi: Ugh. Really, you’re all just a bunch of losers. I don’t have to waste my time hanging out with you bozos.

[I]Gumi begins to leave the party, but not before Yuri grabs her by the wrist and pulls her back.[/i]

Yuri: No! You’re not going anywhere either! 

[I]Gumi’s eyes then change blue, as she goes from bratty to timid.[/i]

Gumi: I-I’m sorry… I didn’t mean to… Please… Don’t scream at me…

[I]Gumi covers her face with her palms, and Yuri sighs. Suddenly, he notices Kaito himself getting distracted with a pop-up ad.[/i]

Pop-Up Ad: Yes siree! Click here to check out our latest selection of different combs and hair conditioners!

Kaito: Hmm… Why yes, I suppose I should try and take care of my hair…

[I]Before Kaito could click on the link, Yuri stop him.[/i]

Yuri: Kaito! Focus! You can take care of your hair later!

[I]Meiko suddenly shows up all of a sudden and slices the pop-up with her scythe, a wicked look in her eyes. The pop-up collapses in a mess of pixels.[/i]

Meiko: Ahahahahahaha!!!

Yuri: Careful where you’re swinging that thing!

Meiko: Aw, come on! I was hoping my scythe would slice through you, too…

Yuri: WHAT?!

[I]Miku yells at Yuri, seeming rather impatient.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: Hey! Yuri! Come on already! Quit being so slow!

[I]Yuri got to the point where he was so stressed that he decided to hurry everyone along. He puts his arms around everyone and starts to push the Vocaloids foward.[/i]

Yuri: Come on now! Let’s move along! Now now now!

All Vocaloids: HEY!!

[I]As Yuri pushed everyone through the streets, a suspicious looking Netizen eyes them cautiously, watching them carefully. A holographic keyboard appears in front of him, and he begins to type on it.[/i]

Anti Anime Affiliate: This is a loyal member of the Anti Anime Alliance speaking here. I believe I found the Vocaloids. I’m going to send you their coordinates now.

[I]With that, the shady Netizen goes back into hiding, his job now complete.

[I]Yuri continues pushing everyone along, trying to avoid any distractions, seeing as how the Internet is full of them. Suddenly, the Vocaloids push themselves from Yuri, all of them seemingly mad.[/i]

Gumi: YOU! NEVER PUSH ME LIKE THAT AGAIN, OR YOU'LL REGRET IT!

Kaito: If you wanna be rude like that again, I’d be more than willing to shove your arms up your mouth.

[I]Hatsune Miku was the the most furious one out of all of them, as she begins to yell at Yuri.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: YOU! NEVER PUSH YOUR PRINCESS LIKE THAT AGAIN! YOU SHOULD LEARN TO TREAT ME WITH RESPECT!

[I]Yuri’s tension got the better of him as he started to yell back.[/i]

Yuri: FOR THE LAST TIME, YOU’RE NOT MY PRINCESS! I’M NEVER GOING TO FALL FOR YOU! WAKE UP AND ACCEPT THAT FACT ALREADY!

[I]As they all continued fighting, a squad of NAPD officers who had gotten the Anti Anime Affiliate’s message took this opportunity and surrounded them. Many of the officers held them at gunpoint, while others were holding truncheons, ready to beat the crap out of them.[/i]

PO#1: NAPD! WE HAVE YOU ALL SURROUNDED! DO NOT MOVE A MUSCLE!

[I]Yuri began to panic. He couldn’t wrap his head around how they found them so quickly, let alone prepare for them. Then he remembered Fujita’s warning about the Anti Anime Affiliates, and soon it all made sense.[/i]

Yuri: We’ve been snitched on! Someone gave out our location!

PO#1: You’re pretty smart for an anime character. Now let’s see how smart you really are. Hand over the Vocaloids now, and we may just spare your life.

Yuri: Uhh… Umm…

Hatsune Miku: Yuri! Don’t trust them! They’ll kill you the second you give us up! Just let us take care of them!

PO#1: YOU! I SAID DON’T MO-

[I]Before the officer could finish his sentence, Miku boosts at him and punches him square in the face, knocking him out. The other Vocaloids soon start fighting shortly after.[/i]

(Please click on this link now.)

[I]The Anti Anime Battle soon starts, as the Vocaloids face off against the No Anime Police. Several NAPD officers begin to shoot at Miku, as she flies around in circles before coming down and dropkicking one of them.[/i]

PO#3: FOCUS ON HATSUNE MIKU! SHE’S THE BIGGEST THREAT!

[I]Rin flies through the air and slams her fist at one of the NAPD officers, knocking him out cold. She then takes out another one with a kick, but stops at a tall, muscular one.[/i]

The Muscular Monsters — Chad NAPD Officers

Chad PO#1: YOU! I’m going to take you down!

[I]Rin’s eyes turn to hearts as she giggles uncontrollably.[/i]

Chad PO#1: Uhh… What’s going on?

Kagamine Rin: S-show me your face… I want to see your manly face… Heh heh…

Yuri: RIN! QUIT SIMPING FOR HIM! HE’S GOING TO KILL YOU!

Chad PO#1: Heh. Distracted by my awesome chadness, now, are ya? Perfect.

[I]The chad NAPD officer gets ready to throw a fist at Rin, but Yuri comes in and pushes her away. Yuri then punches the officer in the stomach, but it didn’t affect him.[/i]

Yuri: … Uhh…

Chad PO#1: Hahahaha! Was that supposed to be a punch?! 

[I]The officer kicks Yuri hard in the stomach, sending him flying back.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: YURI-SAN!!!

[I]Before he could crash into one of the buildings, Miku catches Yuri mid-air and sets him down. A look of worry was on her face. She then turns to the muscular officer, a look of rage on her face.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: YOU’LL PAY FOR THAT!!

[I]Miku aims both of her hands at the officer and fires several repulsor beams. They hit the officer, and just as he was weakened, Miku swoops in and gives him the finishing blow.[/i]

Yuri: Oww…

[I]Miku then returns to Yuri, concerned for his well-being for the first time.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: Yuri-kun, are you ok??

Yuri: Y-yeah, I’ll live…

[I]Kaito faces off against a horde of NAPD officers. The officers all chuckle evilly.[/i]

PO#6: And what could you ever do to us? You’re outnumbered!

Kaito: And you’re all outmatched.

[I]Kaito pulls out a thin, pointed fencing sword. It’s yellow blade complemented with the opaque blue guard and the white hilt.[/i]

Kaito: The sword of promise… The Promesse Épée… With it’s blade, the power of the four winds will be unsheathed…

[I]Kaito then raises the tip of the blade high up, then abruptly brings it back down, sending a flurry of thin wind beams at the Anti Anime cops.[/i]

Kaito: Hurricane Barrage!!

[I]The wind beams fly through the NAPD officers, each of then collapsing on the floor one by one. One of the wind beams misses the cops, and soon enough, it spreads apart, causing a mini hurricane in Gumi and Len’s area of battle.[/i]

Gumi: Whoaah! This is fun!

Kagamine Len: WHAT’S GOING ON?! AAAAAAAAHHH!!!

[I]The harsh wind spins Gumi, Len, and several other NAPD officers round and round, before finally subsiding. It manages to take out a few of the cops, but at the cost of slamming Len into a wall.[/i]

Kagamine Len: OWW!! WHAT THE HECK WAS THAT FOR?!

Kaito: Whoops. Pardon me, it seemed that one of my wind attacks missed its target.

[I]Len sighs and goes back to fighting the Anti Anime cops. He reunites with his sister and they fight them together, whilst also fighting each other.[/i]

Kagamine Rin: Len! You’re in the way! Move back!

Kagamine Len: How am I in the way?! You’re the one who got in my way first!

Kagamine Rin: What are you even doing?! Help me fight these guys already! Quit being so lazy!

Kagamine Len: Only if you stop bossing me around!

[I]The two take down several NAPD officers, with Len throwing one at Rin and Rin throwing him back at Len.[/i]

Kagamine Rin: Quit that out already! You almost hit me!

Kagamine Len: That was the point!

[I]The scene moves on to Gumi fighting against NAPD. Her eyes were still yellow as she spoke in a cheery voice.[/i]

Gumi: Come on! Why can’t we all just get alon-

[I]Gumi glitches out once more and her eyes turn red.[/i]

Gumi: AAAH! FINE! NO MORE PLAYING NICE!

[I]Gumi grabs one of the cops by the leg and spins him around, smashing other NAPD officers with him. She then throws the cop into a wall, knocking him out. Gumi’s eyes then turn blue.[/i]

Gumi: I’m so sorry! I… I didn’t mean to hurt you…

[I]Yuri finally recovers and begins to stand up.[/i]

Yuri: I… I need to do something, too. Miku, cover me!

[I]Yuri runs straight at a horde of NAPD officers, as he slams his fist at one’s face, with Miku firing off several repulsor beams at a few more. Yuri somehow manages to knock the cop out, but his fist turns red, as he grimaces in pain.[/i]

Yuri: Agh! God! Why do their helmets got to be so hard?!

[I]Meiko shows up all of a sudden, slicing through several NAPD officers and even heading straight for Yuri and Miku. Yuri quickly notices and reacts quickly before she could kill him. Miku also dodges her attack as well.[/i]

Yuri: COME ON, MEIKO! NOW’S NOT THE TIME TO START ATTACKING US!

Meiko: I kill who I want! I ain’t on nobody’s side but my own! Ahahahahahaha!!!

[I]The Vocaloids continue fighting off NAPD, quickly finishing off their forces. An NAPD officer pulls up a radio, speaking in a frantic tone.[/i]

PO#8: Dispatch! We need more units! We’re being picked off he-

[I]Before he could finish his sentence, Miku fires a repulsor beam at him, finishing off the whole squad.[/i]

(You may now stop playing the music.)

Yuri: Whew… That’s all of them. Finally.

[I]Miku giggles in joy as she goes next to Yuri.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: See? I told you not to worry.

[I]Yuri sighs and looks back at all the Vocaloids.[/i]

Yuri: See? This is why I said we’ve got to hurry up. Now do you all understand? Now let’s keep moving. We’re almost there.

[I]The party continues to make their way through the city, until finally arriving at the Lobby, as everyone was all tired out.[/i]

Yuri: Finally… We made it.

[I]Yuri and Miku begin to look around the place, looking for a download device. Suddenly, a Minecraft ad pops up on one of the screens in the Lobby. Miku points at it.[/i]

Hatsune Miku: Hey Yuri! Look! I created that game!

[I]Yuri eyes Miku with a blank expression.[/i]

Yuri: … What?

Hatsune Miku: … Never mind…

[I]Yuri continues searching until finally finding a short stand-looking thing with a screen attached to it.[/i]

Yuri: Ah, there it is!

[I]Yuri and the rest of the Vocaloids approach the download device. Yuri then begins to look through the device, scrolling down and trying to look for his username. He finally finds it and taps on it. The device then speaks up.[/i]

Download Device: Preparing to scan files for download. Please place all files you wish to download inside the red box found on the floor.

[I]Yuri then turns to the Vocaloids.[/i]

Yuri: Alright, everyone. This is it. Prepare yourselves.

[I]The Vocaloids all walk inside the red box and wait. The device then scans them up and down, and soon enough, the Vocaloids begin to pixellize and soon after, those pixels go straight into the download device, ready to deliver them to Yuri’s computer.[/i]

Yuri: There. Did that work?

Hatsune Miku: Mhm! That’s exactly how I was able to download myself!

Yuri: Alright then! Miku, take me back home.

[I]Miku nods eagerly, and proceeds to grab Yuri’s arm. She fires up her repulsor jets, and soon enough, she flies up into the air, flying faster and faster until reality starts to blur away…[/i]
