COMIC STRIP VOLUME #007: "The Vocaloids Gain Bodies and Rin and Len’s Childish War"
The scene moves on back to the universe SEKAI-17, better known as the “Anti Anime Universe.” There, inside NAPD Supreme Tower, on the top floor of the spiraled building, continued to sit the Penguin Dave on his leather chair, right behind his desk. Two commander NAPD officers stood next to opposite sides of his desk. Suddenly, a large group of NAPD officers barge in the room, one of them holding a folder.
PO#5: Penguin Dave. We have some urgent news we need to share with you.
Penguin Dave: Hmm. What is it?
The officer holding the folder lays it over the desk, opening it up in front of Penguin Dave.
PO#5: We’ve been able to track the location of Hatsune Miku from one of our affiliates. Seems she was able to teleport between universes, since we found her in SEKAI-93. However… We’ve also been able to get a proper image of the other guy she was hanging out with.
Penguin Dave opens the folder, the top paper revealing an image of Yuri.
Penguin Dave: Ah… So this is the guy who found Hatsune Miku. Rather scrawny, I might add.
PO#5: Yes, but there’s another thing…
The officer spreads out the files, revealing images of all the Vocaloids.
PO#5: While our forces were engaging in battle with the two, it seems that they had been able to gain access to more Vocaloids. It’s insane! We don’t even know how they were able to do it. But then we remembered the reason this could be…
The Anti Anime cop puts his finger on the image of Yuri.
PO#5: We believe that this is him. We believe that this man here is the Weeber.
Penguin Dave grabs the picture in his flippers, eyeing it carefully. He then puts it through some sort of processing machine, and the paper comes back out. A holographic screen appears in front of him.
Penguin Dave: “Yuri Tohime.” Comes from a universe with seemingly no affiliations with SEKAI-0. Hmm. You’re right. That man must be the Weeber. There’s no other way to explain it.
PO#5: You mean… That really is him?!
Penguin Dave: I’m sure of it.
Penguin Dave begins to think for a while, before he begins to speak again.
Penguin Dave: 100,000 variants. 100,000 variants of Hatsune Miku that have ever existed. Every single one captured. And yet not a single one of them was the original variant. It doesn’t surprise me that the Weeber was able to find the original variant before us.
PO#5: Sir. Would you like me to disperse my forces and give the orders to the rest of NAPD?
Penguin Dave: Yes. I want as many units as possible to assist in the pursuit. We must do everything in our power to capture the Weeber and those Vocaloids.
PO#5: Yes sir! Right away, sir!
With that, the police officers leave the room, ready to spread the info around the No Anime Police Department. As soon as they left, one of the commander officers next to Penguin Dave leans down a little and asks him a question.
Commander Officer #1: Sir. You sure that man really is the Weeber?
Penguin Dave smirks.
Penguin Dave: Of course he isn’t. I’ve fought the Weeber myself personally. The body shape and size of this man isn’t even remotely close to the Weeber. Besides, if I know the Weeber, he wouldn’t just run around aimlessly, risking interception from our forces without being prepared, and much less expose his face.
Commander Officer #1: But then… Why did you go ahead and lie to them?
Penguin Dave's smirk widens.
Penguin Dave: To motivate them, of course. Despite that man not being the Weeber, he still possesses Hatsune Miku. If he ever discovers that android’s true abilities, the entirety of the No Anime Police Department will be at risk. We can’t let that happen.
Commander Officer #1: That… Actually makes sense.
Penguin Dave: Of course it does. I always know what to do. I am the Penguin Dave. And we are the No Anime Police. We will destroy that girl.
A wicked grin envelops on Penguin Dave’s beak as the scene moves back to Yuri and Hatsune Miku. They were on their way back to SEKAI-30, AKA, Yuri’s universe. Reality continued to shift around them until, at long last, they had arrived back at New Hakashi. Miku begins to fly herself down to the city and fly over the streets.
Yuri: My house is over there.
Yuri points to his house.
Hatsune Miku: Yeah, yeah, I knew that!
Miku then flies down and sets both herself and Yuri on the ground. Yuri then opens up the door, realizing he had forgot to lock it, and opens it up. Yuri and Miku go inside. After entering, Yuri closes the door and locks it.
Hatsune Miku: Oh, wow! I can finally explore your house outside in the physical world!
Yuri: Wait, Miku-
Hatsune Miku eagerly explores Yuri’s house, taking in all the details and looking through all of Yuri’s stuff. She looks inside cabinets, drawers, and all sorts of other places. Miku then notices Yuri’s room, the door in front of it opened slightly, enough for Miku to see.
Hatsune Miku: Is that your room??? I wanna see!
Yuri: Hold on, Miku! Slow down!
Miku immediately barges into Yuri’s room, a bright glimmer in her eyes as she was both astonished and excited.
Hatsune Miku: Oh, wow! Your room looks so nice! I wanna see everything in it!
Miku begins looking through everything in the room, opening drawers and looking at different pictures and stuff. Suddenly, she opens a drawer that revealed some boxer shorts.
Hatsune Miku: … Maybe not “everything” everything…
Miku closes the drawer and continues looking through Yuri’s stuff, as Yuri tries to stop Miku. It was no use, seeing as how Miku was just too excited and acting like a complete child. She then grabs some sort of small robot and looks at it.
Hatsune Miku: Ooh! This looks cool!
Yuri snatches the robot from Miku’s hands and holds it close, an angry look on his face.
Yuri: Don’t touch that!
Miku scoffs at Yuri’s reaction, as she begins to pout.
Hatsune Miku: Hey! I was looking at that! Give it to me! I deserve to look at it!
Yuri: No! This thing is important to me! I’m not gonna let you break it!
Miku scoffs once more, a look of disgust on her face.
Hatsune Miku: Really? More important than me? What’s so special about that dumb robot anyway?
Yuri sighs, fidgeting with the robot in his hands.
Yuri: My dad gave it to me when I was 6. Said it was supposed to be a pre-graduation gift. Heh. Never understood why he gave it to me at that time….
Yuri takes a deep breath and continues speaking.
Yuri: You know, I’ve always thought it was annoying when he and my mom would keep nagging me about having to marry someone someday, but it wasn’t like I hated him or anything. Sure, he’s rich and sometimes he didn’t exactly have time for me, but the times we had been able to spend together…
Yuri pauses, not knowing how else to continue. Then, Miku decides to break the silence.
Hatsune Miku: Well… Would you still be willing to love me…?
Yuri doesn’t answer that question, as it leaves Miku unsure of what his answer is. She then notices the computer on Yuri’s desk.
Hatsune Miku: Shouldn’t we get the Vocaloids downloaded onto your computer now?
Yuri snaps back to reality.
Yuri: Oh, yeah. You’re right.
With that, Yuri set the small robot back on the shelf, and sits down on his chair. He turns his computer on, and logs back in. Once he does, his windows screen shows a folder that was named “ERROR_UNKNOWN”. Once again, Yuri was getting warnings about a security breach, but of course, he knew what it was already. The file renames itself several times, switching itself from “LET_US_OUT” to “OPEN_UP” and “WE'RE_IN_HERE”.
Yuri: Okay, okay, calm down, you guys.
Yuri then double-clicks on the folder, which then opens up into a new tab. The Vocaloids were each organized by name, but that didn’t last long, as they had moved out of their places and exited the tab and headed out into the windows screen.
Yuri: Is everyone there?
Kagamine Rin: Mhm!
Kagamine Len: Yeah, yeah, I’m here.
Gumi: I… I think so-o-o-o-
Well obviously I’m here! Are you blind or something, boy?
Kaito: Why yes, I seem to have arrived efficaciously.
Meiko: I’m going to kill you when I’m outta here! Ahahahahaha!!!
Yuri: Good. You’re all here.
Yuri closes the folder tab and begins to look around for his laptop. However, he soon remembered something: He left his laptop back in the lab he used to create Miku’s android body.
Yuri: Aw, crap! This can’t be happening! I left my laptop back at Lotus Industries!
Yuri sighs.
Oh well. I’ll need to go back there anyway if I want to make the other android bodies. I can always pick it up there when I come back. For now, I’ll just download you guys onto my phone.
Yuri then connects his phone to the computer, as a folder named “YURI’S PHONE” appeared on the windows screen. Yuri then drags almost all of the Vocaloids in it, but has a bit of a hard time with Meiko as she keeps parrying the mouse cursor, seeing if she could kill it.
Yuri: Meiko! Stay still and let me drag you into the folder!
Meiko: Just let me kill this thing!
Yuri: You can’t even kill it! It’s not even alive!
This keeps going on for a while, until at last, Yuri grabs Meiko with the mouse pointer and drags her inside the folder.
Yuri: Whew. Finally.
Hatsune Miku: You finally ready to head out?
Yuri disconnects his phone from the USB cord connected to the computer and stands up.
Yuri: Yep. All set.
Hatsune Miku: Yay!! It’s a date then! I can’t wait!
Yuri: It’s not a date…
With that out of the way, Miku and Yuri make it out of the room. Before they left, Yuri opens a drawer and picks up a stash of money he had been storing up for a while. After that, Miku and Yuri head out, and Yuri locks the front door.
With that, they began to make their way through the streets of New Hakashi City.
Yuri: Well, first we need to go to the place where my mom works at in order to get the clothes tailored. Then we’ll go to Lotus Industries and get the androids made.
As the two were making their way around the city, people began to stare at Hatsune Miku in confusion. It was obvious that they weren’t used to seeing a person like that wearing such extravagant clothing in a casual environment. Usually they would only see clothing like that at fashion shows or at clothing shops with really expensive price tags. Yuri begins to notice people’s expressions, and he starts to panic.
Yuri: Miku… People are starting to notice us! Hurry up and switch into some other outfit or something before someone recognizes you!
Hatsune Miku: No way! I like this outfit! It makes me look cute! You can’t change my mind about it!
Yuri pulls his hair in anxiety, as more and more people start to notice them. It wasn’t long before some weird person comes up to them, a look of shock on his face.
Weeb #1: Is… Is that a Hatsune Miku cosplay??? OH MY GOD, IT IS!! YOU LOOK EXACTLY LIKE HER!!
Hatsune Miku: What do you mean?! I AM Hatsune Miku! I’m supposed to be a super famous diva! I’m not some cosplayer!
Yuri: Keep it down!
The wehraboo completely ignores Miku’s words and calls some more people over.
Weeb #1: Hey, Denton! Jorge! Morris! Check this out!
Soon, more people started arriving, all of them geeking out over Miku.
Weeb #2: Is she cosplaying as Hatsune Miku?! Man, she looks so damn cute!
Weeb #3: Dayum! You look so gorgeous as Miku! How’d you even manage to afford the cosplay??
Yuri cringes out at the words coming from the weebs. He also notices the disgusting smell of sweat, and it makes him gag.
Weeb #4: Please! I beg of you! Be my onee-san!
Weeb #3: Why, you baka! She’s gonna be my waifu now!
The first guy then approaches Miku and gets really close to her.
Weeb #1: Ignore these idiots. All is ask is just one simple request…
Can we kiss?
Miku scoffs in disgust as she slaps the weeb in the face.
Hatsune Miku: Ew! No! You’re gross! Besides, I’ve already decided that Yuri-san is going to be my prince!
Miku grabs onto Yuri's arm, wrapping her own arms over his. The weeb rubs his cheek as he groans a bit in pain.
Weeb #1: N-NANI??
Hatsune Miku: You heard me!
Miku sticks out her tongue at the weeb, and Yuri quickly starts getting annoyed by Miku grabbing his arm.
Yuri: Miku! Let go of my arm!
Hatsune Miku: Hmph!
Miku doesn’t let go. The weeb then speaks up once more, this time to Yuri.
Weeb #1: Pfft. You’re lucky, you know, desu.
The weebs then continue on their way.
Yuri: Miku!! I said let go!
Yuri jerks his arm out of Miku’s grip and Miku gasps in offense.
Hatsune Miku: Hey! What was that for?!
Yuri: Come on. Let’s keep moving.
Miku sighs, and the two continue to make their way along the sidewalks of the city, crossing several roads and eventually making it to Star Reach.
Yuri: Welp, we’re back here.
Yuri and Miku head inside the building, once again greeted with the extravagant clothing that lined the walls. The two head up the stairs that Yuri had took when he was about to get Miku’s clothes done. Suddenly, the guard that was at the top of the stairs stops them in their tracks.
Security Guard: I’m afraid I can’t let the two of you go any further.
Yuri sighs in frustration.
Yuri: It’s me. Yuri. You know, son of Madame Sharley? Seriously, how do you keep forgetting?
Security Guard: I know that already. What I meant is that I can’t allow you to go with the girl.
Hatsune Miku: WHAT?! HOW DARE YO-
Yuri quickly covers Miku’s mouth and chuckles nervously.
Yuri: Don’t mind her. She’s just a bit tired. Just… look. She’s a friend of mine, and I promise that she won’t cause any trouble, ok?
Security Guard: That still doesn’t change the fact that Madame Sharley is very busy.
Yuri: I highly doubt she would mind. I mean, you already know how Mom is with me.
The guard thinks about it for a while and sighs.
Security Guard: Well, you have a point there. Fine. I’ll allow her to pass as well.
The guard moves out of the way, and Yuri and Miku continue to move on.
Yuri: Thanks! I owe ya one!
The two quickly make their way to the door that lead to the area that Madame Sharley and the tailors were at. Muffled yelling could he heard coming from inside. Yuri sighs in reluctance.
Yuri: Well… Here we go…
Yuri opens the door and upon entering, they were greeted with the sound of Madame Sharley's loud voice, yelling at her employees, as usual. Miku quickly follows behind Yuri.
Madame Sharley: I’ve already told you! You need to put the yellow with the blue! Seriously! How incompetent can you be?!
Yuri and Miku walk up to Sharley, Yuri takes a deep breath, and begins to speak.
Yuri: Hey, Mom. I need your help again.
Suddenly, Madame Sharley turns around, runs to Yuri, and greets him with a hug and several kisses on his cheek, as usual.
Madame Sharley: Oh, my baby! How has my handsome honey bun been?
Yuri cringes once more.
Yuri: Mom… Please… You’re doing it again…
Madame Sharley completely disregards Yuri’s request. It was at this point that she began to notice Hatsune Miku, as a wide smile stretched across her lips.
Madame Sharley: Yuriiii! You never told me that you had a girlfriend! Such a lovely young woman, too!
Yuri’s eyes widen in utter horror as his jaw drops, remembering the fact that she, along with his dad, had always nagged him to marry someone. And with the crush Miku had on Yuri, he knew he was in for the long haul.
Yuri: N-no! No! Mom! No! It’s not like that! I-
Madame Sharley: And would you look at that! That’s the dress you told me to make! It suits her perfectly! Oh, Yuri! I didn’t know you were such a sweetheart!
Yuri scratches his head frantically in both anger and annoyance.
Yuri: NO! MOM! SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND! WE’RE-
Miku immediately hugs Yuri and speaks to Madame Sharley in a joyful tone.
Hatsune Miku: Yep! I’m his girlfriend, alright!
With that, Yuri screams out in anger, struggling to break free from Miku’s hug.
Yuri: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!
Madame Sharley continues to speak.
Madame Sharley: That’s great, honey! I’m so proud of you!
Yuri was fuming with anger at this point, as he finally breaks from Miku’s arms. Madame Sharley then begins to talk to Miku.
Madame Sharley: So, what’s your name, sweetie? And how old are you?
Hatsune Miku: My name is Hatsune Miku! And I’m 16 years old!
Madame Sharley’s smile fades into a slight frown.
Madame Sharley: Oh… That’s… Odd. I mean, Yuri is about four years older. Oh, well… Guess I won’t be able to see the marriage for a while…
Yuri speaks up abruptly.
Yuri: WE’RE NOT GETTING MARRIED, OK?! SHE’S NOT MY GIRLFRIEND!! NOW WILL YOU PLEASE JUST LISTEN TO ME?!
Madame Sharley suddenly snaps from her thoughts and she begins to speak to Yuri.
Madame Sharley: Oh, uhh, yes, of course. What did you need help with?
Yuri finally calms down and sighs. He then pulls out his phone, searches up the images of the Vocaloids and shows it to his mom, swiping his screen several times so she could get a good look at them.
Yuri: I need you to help me make these clothes. They’re for some of… Uhh, my friend’s friends.
Madame Sharley squints in confusion, taking a look at each one of the images Yuri shows her.
Madame Sharley: Hmm… They certainly are some strange clothes, honey. Are you all going to some sort of party or something?
Yuri: Well… Something like that. Think you can do it?
Madame Sharley: Well… It may take some time, but…
Madame Sharley takes the phone from Yuri and raises it up in the air, showing the images to all her employees.
Madame Sharley: Listen up, everyone! I want all of these clothing articles done and made by two hours! Or else you’re all fired! Move it, everyone!
With that, all of the tailors immediately get to work, sewing frantically as they were in a panic to finish. Madame Sharley then hands the phone back to Yuri and smiles warmly.
Madame Sharley: There you go, sweetie!
Yuri: … Thanks.
Yuri sits on one of the available chairs, as Miku sits next to him. But not five minutes pass before Miku starts whining.
Hatsune Miku: I’m sooooooo boooored!!!
Yuri: You do realize these things take time, right? It hasn’t even been five minutes! Can’t you just be more patient?!
Hatsune Miku: Uuuuuugh!!!
Miku continues to pout for another 30 minutes until she grows weary of it. Finally, after a bit less than 2 hours, the clothes were finally finished. One of the tailors quickly brings the clothes to Madame Sharley and hands them to her immediately. All the other employees sigh in relief, as they had been able to complete the clothes in time.
Madame Sharley: About time, too. Now get back to work, everyone!
Hatsune Miku: Finally!!!
Yuri and Miku stand up and Madame Sharley hands the articles of clothing to both Yuri and Miku.
Madame Sharley: There you go! Sorry I had you two waiting for so long.
Yuri: Well… Thanks, Mom.
The two then begin to walk out the door as Madame Sharley waves goodbye.
Madame Sharley: Enjoy the party, you two!
Yuri pauses for a while, but then shrugs it off. The duo heads out the door, down the stairs of the buildings, past the exquisite clothing, and finally, out of Star Reach.
Yuri: Whew. Finally.
Yuri then looks to Miku with a rather irritated look.
Yuri: Never do that again. You’re not my girlfriend, ok?
Miku begins to pout about it.
Hatsune Miku: Well, you’re the one who won’t accept my feelings towards you!
Yuri sighs in frustration. He then signals Miku to keep moving as they walk back on the streets.
Yuri: Now, we’ve got to head back to Lotus Industries. We’ll be able to synthesize the bodies there, and then upload the Vocaloids into them.
Hatsune Miku: Yeah, yeah, whatever.
The two continue to make their way to Lotus Industries. They pass by several people, as they stared at Miku in confusion, unaware of what she really was. They cross over a road, around the corner of a building, and continued to make a straight line across the street.
Hatsune Miku: How is it that you know exactly where to go?
Yuri: I’ve lived here my whole life. I practically know this city like the back of my hand.
Hatsune Miku: Well in that case…
Miku suddenly grabs Yuri’s hand as they walked. Immediately, Yuri stops in his tracks.
Yuri: HEY!! WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU’RE DOING?!
Hatsune Miku blushes and giggles a little
Hatsune Miku: Uhh… It’s so I don’t get lost! Yeah! You said you knew these streets like the back of your hand! I just didn’t want to lose you, that’s all!
Miku continues giggling and Yuri starts to yell at her.
Yuri: YOU WON’T GET LOST IF YOU JUST FOLLOW MY LEAD! THE ONLY REASON YOU’RE GRABBING MY HAND IS BECAUSE YOU HAVE A STUPID CRUSH ON ME!!
Yuri tries to pull his hand away from Miku’s as she keeps giggling and laughing playfully. As this was going on, from the shadows, a rather familiar-looking man came up to them and looked at Yuri straight in the eyes.
It was the man who chased Yuri around before he had gotten himself into this mess.
Man: Well, well, well. If it isn’t the punk who ran into me two days ago.
Yuri notices him and listened to his words. They confused him. “Two days ago?” He thought to himself.
Yuri: Wait… What do you mean-
Man: DON’T TRY TO CHANGE THE SUBJE-
Suddenly, the man noticed Miku, who was still grasping Yuri’s hand. Unfortunately for Yuri, the man already had a basic idea of who Hatsune Miku was. The man points to her.
Man: Are you… Cosplaying as Hatsune Miku?
Miku scoffs in irritation as she attempts to correct him.
Hatsune Miku: No! I AM Hatsune Miku! Why does everyone think I’m a fake?!
The man suddenly bursts out in laughter as he begins to taunt Yuri.
Man: PFFFFT! HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!! I can’t believe it! You’re such a weeb! You really need a girl to dress up as some cringey anime girl just for you to fall in love?! What, is she your best girl or something?!
Yuri pauses for a long moment, realizing how stupid he looked walking alongside Miku. He then tries to correct him.
Yuri: Wait, wait! You’ve got it all wrong! You see… Uhh… Umm…
Man: Quit the crap already! Just admit it! You’re just some filthy, degenerate weeb who probably spends all his time foaming over images of your favorite waifu! I bet you even have a body pillow of that anime girl in your bedroom!
Yuri was at a loss for words. He couldn’t come up with a decent counterargument, seeing as how being alongside Miku made him look so blatantly obvious as a weeb. Then, the man begins to take the subject to Miku.
Man: And you! Really? Cosplaying as some cringe anime girl just for that wehraboo? Seriously?! Do you really have nothing better to do?! Just take off that ridiculous getup and get yourself a real man! You know, someone like me.
The man emphasized that last sentence, making it obvious that he wanted to take Miku for himself. Of course, this made Miku’s circuits overheat in anger, as she approaches the man with a menacing stare.
Hatsune Miku: How DARE you?! Yuri is my prince! And no one is allowed to make fun of him but me! Now SCREW OFF, YOU BULLY!
Yuri: Wait, Miku? What are you gonna-
Miku then punches the man hard in the face, sending him flying back and slamming into the side of a building, knocking him unconscious. Several people back away in fright and horror, and Yuri begins to panic.
Yuri: MIKU!!! Why did you do that?!
Hatsune Miku: Because! He was annoying!
Yuri looks around frantically, noticing all the people looking at them in horror.
Yuri: We’ve got to move! The cops could show up at any minute!
Yuri and Miku quickly make their way out of the scene, with less and less people noticing them the further they went away. Yuri began to calm down, as he took a breather.
Yuri: That was too close. Never pull off a stunt like that again. Got it?
Hatsune Miku: But I couldn’t help it! He was harassing you!
Yuri: Yeah, well you still shouldn’t have done it. Now come on. We’ve got to move.
The two continue to make their way through the city, taking a left at a corner and crossing through an open alleyway as a shortcut. As they were walking, they happened to come upon the place Yuri worked at. When Yuri takes a good look at the building, his blood ran cold, as he suddenly remembers all about his life.
Yuri: Oh no… I forgot that I needed to finish a report! Come on, Miku! We’re gonna take a quick detour!
Yuri dashes into the office building, with Miku quickly following right behind. However, Yuri’s boss, Mr. Hamilton, was standing in front of the entrance of the building, arms crossed, repeatedly tapping his foot, as usual. However, this time, he seemed more irritated than usual.
Yuri: Mr. Hamilton! Look, I am so sorry I’m late, I was just taking care of some stuff and-
Mr. Hamilton raises his palm up in front of Yuri, signaling him to stop talking. He takes a good look at Miku, then looks back at Yuri.
Mr. Hamilton: So that’s what you’re been doing these past two days. Certainly explains why you almost never do your job.
Those words hit Yuri like a rock. “Two days?! Again?!” he thought to himself.
Yuri: Wait, what do you mean by “two days?” I’ve only been gone for-
Mr. Hamilton: Ah bup bup bup bup bup! I don’t want to hear any more of your excuses. I know what you’ve been up to. It all makes sense now. Why you always come late to work, why you didn’t come to Vega’s anniversary party, heck, why you seemingly revolt at the concept of romance.
Seems you’ve been quite busy with your little girlfriend there.
Yuri groans in frustration as he tries to reject it.
Yuri: No! No! She’s not my girlfriend! I’m telling you!
Miku grows irritated by Yuri’s words as she speaks up.
Hatsune Miku: What the heck are you talking about?! I am your princess! Quit lying to people about that!
Yuri: Miku, shush!
Mr. Hamilton continues to speak.
Mr. Hamilton: And that confirms my assumptions. All this time, this… Valuable time that you could’ve spent in the office, working the hours you could’ve worked, making a decent living, you wasted it all on dating that…
Mr. Hamilton takes another look at Miku, this time noticing her strange clothes.
Mr. Hamilton: … Girl. It’s not that I disapprove the idea of you spending time with a woman and enjoying your time with them. But you have a very, very huge problem, and it’s that you have no idea how to manage your time. And in this place, we have no room for irresponsible people like you.
Yuri’s heart sunk. He had no idea what was going on. He was sure it had only been a day since he was gone, or, at least, he thought he did.
Yuri: Wait, sir! Please! I don’t understand! I’ve only been gone for-
Mr. Hamilton: Fired.
Yuri froze.
Yuri: … What?
Mr. Hamilton: You’re fired. Get out of my office.
Yuri’s eyes widened in horror. He couldn’t believe what was happening. He took a few steps back, his mouth gaping as he didn’t know what else to say. Suddenly, he goes running out of the building, and he eventually stops at a corner, as he starts pulling his hairs. He didn’t understand. He didn’t know what to do. Miku followed along, and she made her way next to Yuri.
Yuri: I… I don’t understand… I could’ve sworn it was only a day… What is happening…?
Hatsune Miku: I… Think I can explain it…
Yuri turned his head around, looking at Miku with a look of pent up rage. He speaks in a rough tone.
Yuri: … What?
Hatsune Miku: Well… It’s kinda hard to explain but… Sometimes, time works differently in other universes. What might be a single day in one universe could be a hundred year in another. And, well… The only time that rule is overridden is when two universes are connected by some means… And I don’t think that first universe we went to was connected to this one…
Suddenly, all that pent up rage stored inside of Yuri bursts out, as he punches the wall once and begins to yell at Miku.
Yuri: IT’S ALL YOUR FAULT! I WOULDN’T EVEN BE IN THIS MESS IF YOU HAVEN’T TAKEN ME ALONG TO YOUR STUPID ADVENTURE! GOD, I SHOULD’VE NEVER UPLOADED YOU INTO THAT STUPID ANDROID BODY IN THE FIRST PLACE!!
Suddenly, those words activated a strange memory inside of Miku that she had locked up inside her mind a long time ago. The memory was blurred, yet it pushed a button inside Miku that made her fall to her knees, as tears begin to stream down her face. The only words that came to memory were “Human… Robot… Together…”
Yuri pauses and notices Miku’s tears.
Yuri: Miku… Are you… Crying…?
She didn’t respond. She was lost inside her mind as she attempted to conjure up the rest of the words. Her efforts were in vain, however, as she could not remember the other words said no matter how much she tried, let alone remember who even said them. Yuri’s expression lightens a bit as he began to calm down.
Yuri: Miku. I-I’m sorry, I didn’t mean for you-
Hatsune Miku: It’s not your fault. It’s just… A memory I just had…
Yuri begins to feel curious, wondering what this new memory could be.
Yuri: Well, can you remember anything from it?
Hatsune Miku: Well… I’m trying… But it’s too hard… And yet… Something about it hurts… I don’t know why…
Yuri sighs deeply and finally cools off. He tries to think of what to say, but no words come to mind. Miku gets back on her feet and speaks up instead.
Hatsune Miku: Yuri… Please… I… I want to remember… I want you to follow me… Please… Help me remember everything… So that I may finally defeat the No Anime Police…
As Yuri listens to Miku’s words, he still thinks of what to say. This was all so confusing and strange to him. A whole multiverse. With billions and billions of unique and diverse universes. It was all so weird and overwhelming to him. And yet, at the same time, so amazing and extensive. Finally, he smiles warmly and begins to speak up.
Yuri: Well, it’s hard to say no to that offer. I mean, this is a whole multiverse we’re talking about! I can’t even think of all the cool stuff I might see along the way. Besides, I’m sure there might be some other way I can get money along the way.
Miku’s attitude suddenly turns into a cheerful one upon hearing Yuri’s words. She begins to jump up and down in a childish manner.
Hatsune Miku: Yaaay!!! I can’t wait!
Yuri, quickly remembering Miku’s crush on him, points his finger at her.
Yuri: But no more romance crap. Got it?
Miku crosses her arms and looks away from Yuri once again.
Hatsune Miku: No promises!
Yuri sighs, knowing he probably won’t be able to ever get Miku to change her mind.
Yuri: Well, let’s keep moving. Still gotta get these Vocaloids some android bodies.
Miku nods and the two continue on their way. As they pass the building Yuri used to work at, Mr. Hamilton looks out the window, shaking his head slowly.
Mr. Hamilton: He sure is a strange boy.
Yuri and Miku continue to make their way through the city, going past tall skyscrapers and crossing street crossings. The air was filled with the clamor of people talking, as dozens of overlapping voices could be heard wherever they went. Finally, the duo makes it to the tower of Lotus Industries.
Yuri: Come on. We’re going to enter through the back entrance.
Yuri and Miku head to the back of the building as they encounter the door Yuri had previously gone into before. Yuri looks around, checking to see if anyone else was nearby, then inserts the ID he used the first time. The door unlocks, and the two make it inside.
Yuri: We’re in. Now Miku, I need you to stay as quiet as possible. I’m technically not supposed to be in here, so we can’t get caught.
Hatsune Miku: Ok!
Yuri: Shhhh! Quiet!
The two quietly make their way around the halls of the building, sneaking past security cameras and guards. They make their way to the door to the room Yuri had gone in before to make Miku’s body. However, the door was covered in yellow caution tape, with a printed paper on the front saying “DO NOT ENTER: SECURITY BREACH.” Yuri notices the sign, remembering that Miku had busted through the roof last time. Yuri tries to open the door, but it was locked. He begins to panic.
Yuri: No. No. No! NO!! NO, NO, NO!!!
Yuri bangs his fist on the door a few times.
Yuri: Dammit… The door’s locked!
Hatsune Miku: Huh? But wait. Isn’t there another room which you can use to make the android bodies?
Yuri: It’s not that… I left my laptop in there… Now I’ll never be able to get it back…
Miku thinks for a few seconds before she responds.
Hatsune Miku: Wait! But you said your dad runs this company! Why don’t you just ask him?
Yuri sighs.
Yuri: Can’t you see the situation we’re in? We’ve broken into a secure facility with zero permission from the company itself. Again. I can’t just waltz up and ask my dad if I could get my computer from that room. Besides, if I asked him, he’d quickly know exactly who broke in here the first time. I can’t get myself into that sort of trouble.
Hatsune Miku: Oh… Well, it’s just a laptop, right? It’s not that important!
Yuri: Well… I guess. But that still doesn’t change the fact that I lost money on it.
Yuri sighs, accepting the fact that he may never be able to recover his laptop. He then thinks for a while, and snaps his fingers.
Yuri: Oh! Right! There’s another room that has multiple android synthesizers somewhere around here. I remember where it is, but it’s pretty far away, so we’ll need to be careful. Got it?
Miku nods.
Hatsune Miku: Mhm!
Yuri: Good. Follow me.
Yuri and Miku take a right at a corner, then taking a left at another. They continue sneaking through a straight hallway, avoiding the sight of one of the cameras nearby. The take another left, and they make it to an elevator to the left of them. Yuri approaches it and is about to press the “Up” button, but the doors suddenly open up.
L.I. Security Guard #1: Yeah, so I was just sitting there, and the robot arm punched me in the stomach and- Hmm?
The security guards look around, believing they saw something. They eye out carefully, scanning the area from left to right. Nothing. They decide to move on as they take a right and disappear at another right. Miku had carried Yuri up to the ceiling, where the guards couldn’t spot them. She then lowers Yuri down and sets him on the ground.
Yuri: Whew. That was close. Thanks.
Hatsune Miku: Now do you admit you love me?
Yuri sighs.
Yuri: No. Stop asking.
Hatsune Miku: Hmph!
Yuri presses the button and the doors to the elevator open. The two make it inside and Yuri presses the button that goes to the third floor. The elevator doors close, and soon enough, they were going up. After a bit of some time, the elevator stops, the doors open, and Yuri and Miku exit out. They had made it to the third floor.
The two continue on their way, going straight through the hallways until taking a left, then a right, and then going straight again. Upon making it to the end of the hallway, they are met with a double door. Yuri pulls up his ID, inserts it into the security slot, as the system registers it and validates the card. The door unlocks, and the two make it inside. Yuri shuts the doors behind them.
Yuri: Ok, good. We’re here.
The room was larger than the other ones as it had four android synthesizers: Three for an individual android, and one for creating two androids at the same time. Yuri plugs in his phone to the computer at the end of the room, turns on the computer, and logs on. He then opens the folder named “YURI’S PHONE” and soon enough, the Vocaloids spill out of the folder, along with bits and shreds of apps and files. Rin and Len seemed to be fighting, for some reason.
Kagamine Rin: Back off already!
Kagamine Len: No, you back off!
Yuri looks upon the screen in shock and dismay, barely knowing what to say.
Yuri: A- A- YOU- UH-
WHAT DID YOU ALL DO TO MY PHONE?!?!
Rin and Len point at each other.
Kagamine Rin and Len: (S)he started it!
Yuri: DID- DID YOU TWO… JUST DESTROY THE INSIDE OF MY PHONE?!
Kagamine Len: It was all Rin’s fault! She was the one complaining that it was too dark in there!
Kagamine Rin: Well this wouldn’t have happened if you hadn’t scared me in the dark!
Kagamine Len: Oh, you’re just a dumb little scaredy-cat! It’s your fault for letting yourself get scared!
Kagamine Rin: Nuh-uh!
Kagamine Len: Yuh-huh!
Kagamine Rin: NUH-UH!!
Kagamine Len: YUH-HUH!!
Kagamine Rin: SHUT IT!!!
Rin immediately tackles Len and they get into a brawl, throwing fists out of random. Yuri knew he had to separate them before they kill each other.
Yuri: Quit fighting, you two! Just forget about it!
Yuri brings the mouse pointer over to Rin and holds the click button on her, dragging her away from Len.
Kagamine Rin: Let me go! I’m not done beating some sense into my brother!
Yuri sighs and drags Rin into a folder named “DUAL ANDROID SYNTHESIZER 001.” After that he drags Len into the same folder as well.
Yuri: I just hope they don’t kill each other in there…
With that, Yuri begins dragging the other Vocaloids into the other files connected to the other android synthesizers, of course, having a hard time dragging Meiko in as well. After that, Yuri opens an application on the computer which allowed him access to all of the android synthesizers.
Yuri: Ok, good. Let me download some templates online now.
Yuri searches up a few 3D templates of the Vocaloids from around the web, which he then downloads each one onto his phone. He then uploads the templates into their respective synthesizers. Yuri drags the repulsor blueprints onto each module as he did with Miku, then turns over to her.
Yuri: Hey Miku. Still have the clothes we got made for them on you?
Hatsune Miku: Mhm! Got ‘em right here!
Yuri: Good. I need you to set each article of clothing up on top of their respective android synthesizers.
Hatsune Miku: Ok! I can do that!
With that, Miku begins to lay each set of clothing articles onto the tables of every android synthesizer, carefully checking to see which set of clothing belongs to which synthesizer. After setting them all up, Miku gives the green light to Yuri to begin the process.
Yuri: Ok, nice. Time to start the process.
Yuri clicks on the start button, and as soon as he did, the android synthesizers immediately get to work on the bodies. Yuri disconnects his phone from the computer and sits down on a chair.
Yuri: Welp, it’s gonna take about 5 hours for the android synthesizers to finish their job, so all we can do is wait.
Miku sighs in frustration.
Hatsune Miku: But that’s so boring! Isn’t there anything else we can do?
Yuri: Nope. Can’t head out now. It’s too risky. We need the android bodies finished first. Besides, I doubt the computer has any games on it or anything.
Hatsune Miku: Hrrrg…
Miku sits down on the chair next to Yuri. She sighs several times, each sigh more louder than the last. After a while, she looks at Yuri, who was seemingly half asleep. She looks down at Yuri’s hand, which was resting over the armrest. She knew this was her chance, and she makes an attempt to hold Yuri’s hand. As she begins to bring her own hand closer and closer to Yuri’s, her eyes twinkle with hope and desire, as she had believed this was going to be a very special moment. Yuri, however, opens his eyes a little bit, and notices Miku’s hand coming ever closer to his. Before Miku could grab his hand, he immediately pulls his arm away.
Yuri: No.
Miku gasps, having not expected that. She crosses her arms in annoyance and looks away.
Hatsune Miku: I was so close, too…
Yuri and Miku both sit quietly for the remainder of the time. After about 5 hours, the androids are successfully created, and the computer beeps a few times, signaling the the process is complete.
Yuri: Ah, looks like it’s done.
He then looks over to Miku and taps her shoulder.
Yuri: Hey Miku. It’s done. The androids have been synthesized.
Miku doesn’t respond. Yuri notices that her eyes were closed, as she had gone onto rest mode to save power.
Yuri: Miku? Miku! MIKU!!!
Miku immediately boots back up, a startled expression on her face. She looks left to right, then to Yuri.
Hatsune Miku: Is it done?
Yuri: Yes, that’s what I’ve been trying to tell you.
Hatsune Miku: Hooray!!
Miku gets up from her chair as she jumps up and down in excitement.
Yuri: Now hold on a bit as I finish uploading the Vocaloids into their bodies.
Yuri gets up from his chair and walks over to the computer. The screen had a notification saying “Upload AI program(s) into 5 android(s)?”. Yuri clicks on the “Yes” button, as the upload begins.
Yuri: There. That should do it.
Within a matter a minutes, the Vocaloids slowly begin to wake up, their virtual consciousness’ steadily being uploaded into their bodies. Rin and Len’s eyes are the first to open, followed by Gumi, Kaito and then Meiko. Each of them get up from the tables their bodies had been created on, as a few of them stretch themselves out, feeling more refreshed now that they have proper bodies.
Yuri: Well? How is everyone feeling?
The Vocaloids each begin to test out their new bodies, opening and closing their hands and bending their limbs, as everything seems to be working out. Rin is the first to speak up.
Kagamine Rin: This feels great! Certainly beats being stuck in the same place as my brother.
Kagamine Len: Oh, would you shut up?! I’m very fun to hang around with, you know!
Kagamine Rin: Liar!
This pointless bickering continues as the others begin to speak up.
Kaito: Certainly feels… Curious.
Meiko: Ah, finally! Now I’ll be able to kill anyone I want! Ahahahahaha!
Gumi’s eyes were yellow as she stared intently at Yuri. Yuri becomes slightly anxious, awaiting a response from her. Suddenly, Gumi’s eyes turn purple and she responds.
Gumi: It sucks.
Yuri: WHAAAAAAAAAAAAT?!
Gumi: Least I can use it to get away from you losers more easily.
Yuri facepalms himself and shakes his head, realizing he shouldn’t have expected much from Gumi. He decides that, now that everyone is here, it was time to move on.
Yuri: Alright, guys. Now that you’re all here, I need you to follow my lead and stay extremely quiet. This is a high security facility and we can’t afford to get caught.
Yuri then turns around and makes his way to the door. He cracks it open a little and peeks through the crack, checking to see if there are any security guards nearby. Once he saw the coast was clear, he opens the door and heads out.
Yuri: Alright, everyone. Follow me.
The Vocaloids are quick to follow, as they quietly exit the room, taking light steps to prevent making too much noise. The party makes it through the hallway a few feet forward without much problem, until Rin and Len’s quiet bickering quickly becomes loud yelling.
Kagamine Rin: Shut up!
Kagamine Len: No, you shut up!
Kagamine Rin: No, YOU SHUT UP! You’re going to get us caught!
Kagamine Len: You’re the one making so much noise! You should shut up!
Yuri panics and he quietly yells at them.
Yuri: How about you both shut up?! We’re going to get caught because of you tw-
Suddenly, some guards come from the corner behind them.
L.I. Security Guard #2: Mhm, and so I- Huh?
The guards quickly make eye contact with the party.
https://youtu.be/Ef0w5yBGskI?feature=shared
(Please play this song now. Note that you may need to go back to timestamp 0:15 once you get to 2:52 depending on how fast or slow you read.)
L.I. Security Guard #2: Hey, you! All of you! This is a high security facility! None of you have authorization to be here!
Yuri’s eyes widen in shock and horror as he grits his teeth; it seems they have been caught. He quickly tries to make up an excuse, hoping he could appease the guards.
Yuri: Well, uhh, you see, we, uhh, came here by accident, and uhh, we were lost and-
The guards quickly notice the metallic appearance of the Vocaloids, as they realize something.
L.I. Security Guard #2: And… ARE… ARE THOSE GUYS ACTUALLY ANDROIDS?! SO YOU’RE THE ONE WHO BROKE IN TWO DAYS AGO! THAT’S STOLEN TECH, YOU KNOW! SURRENDER YOURSELF NOW! WE’RE TURNING YOU OVER TO THE AUTHORITIES!
The adrenaline rushed through Yuri’s head as he started freaking out. He didn’t want to already have a mark on his criminal record at this age, or any age for that matter, and much less go to jail. He knew there was no other way of escape left but to run.
So that’s what he decided.
Yuri: EVERYBODY RUUUUUN!!!
With that, Yuri made a run for it and the Vocaloids quickly followed along.
L.I. Security Guard #2: HEY! GET BACK HERE!
The security guards quickly engage in pursuit, as they began to chase Yuri and the Vocaloids down the hallways. Yuri looks behind him, counting the amount of guards chasing them. 1… 2… 5… About 8 guards behind them. Yuri knew that there were bound to be more, so they had to get out of that place as soon as possible.
As they make it through the first half of the hallway, 4 more come in from the other hallways connected to this one, which brought the grand total to 12. Things weren’t looking good already. Meiko suggests an idea.
Meiko: Hey! How about I kill them all? Then there’ll be nothing stopping me from killing you guys as well!
Yuri: What?! NO!! Don’t be stupid! Keep running!
Meiko: Dammit... You’re no fun…
The party continues running through the hallways until they take a left, then a right. More guards come from the other hallways, adding up to a total of 17. Suddenly, a voice comes through the loudspeakers all over the ceilings.
L.I. Main Security Office: All security personnel in the building. We have a security breach over at F3, Hallway G-34. You’ve all been approved the use of stun guns.
Yuri: AW CRAP!!
The security guards all aim their guns at the party while they ran, as they began firing. Yuri barely lowers his head in time to dodge the stun ray.
Yuri: THAT WAS TOO CLOSE!!
Hatsune Miku: Yuri-san! I’m scared! Carry me all the way out!
Yuri: NO!!
Hatsune Miku: Oh, come on! Why must you be so useless?!
The group finally makes it to the elevator at the end of the hallway. Yuri presses the “Down” button a few dozen times, the elevator taking an annoyingly long time to arrive.
Yuri: Come on, come on, COME ON!!!
The security guards continue getting closer to them. At last, the elevator opens up and Yuri pushes all of the Vocaloids in. He then presses the button to the first floor. He then mashes the “Close” button another dozen times, the guards getting ever so close to them.
Yuri: Come ON!!! Why do elevators always have to take so long to do anything?!
The doors to the elevator begin to close, as the security guards were mere feet away from it. Before any one of the guards could get to the elevator, the door shuts tightly, and the elevator begins to move down.
Yuri: Phew…
After a while, the elevator makes it back to the first floor, as the doors open up. Before they could all catch their breath, more security guards awaited them to the left of them.
Yuri: No! Crap! We have to keep moving!
The party quicky dashes out of the elevator and take a right, as they sprint through the hallway with 5 guards on their tail. They take another right as 4 more guards arrive at the pursuit from behind them.
L.I. Security Guard #3: STOP RIGHT THERE!
The party takes another right yet again, with 6 more guards joining in, a total of 15 security guards. It seems they might make it as they take a left, sliding over the ground in the process, as two more guards quickly joined in. The exit was right in front of them, and the party ran as fast as they could. Before they knew it, they made their way out of the building, with the security guards still hot on their tails.
[2:52]
The party takes a left as they quickly make it back to the streets of the city. They try not to crash into the citizens walking in their path, although they occasionally shove into a few of them. The security guards were quick to follow, as they had no problem with shoving through citizens if it meant capturing Yuri and the others. The guards were getting closer and closer to the group, as it seemed like they were bound to be captured soon.
L.I. Security Guard #4: GIVE UP NOW! YOU’RE NOT GOING TO ESCAPE!
Yuri realized they were too slow, but he also didn’t feel right about shoving though people just to escape. Suddenly, he remembered that Miku and the Vocaloids could fly, as he starts to yell to them.
Yuri: Miku! We won’t escape them on foot! We need to fly up! Everyone, follow us!
Hatsune Miku: Oh! Right! Hold on tight, then!
[3:31]
Miku quickly grabs ahold of Yuri’s hand as they all fly up into the air, escaping the guards from the ground. They shoot at the party, but to no avail. One of the security guards pulls out a radio and speaks into it.
L.I. Security Guard #4: The intruders have taken to the skies! Requesting the helicopter, stat!
The party flies high over the city, sighing in relief. It seems they have finally escaped.
Yuri: Whew… Finally.
[3:47]
Suddenly, a helicopter shows up out of the blue and engages in pursuit.
L.I. Helicopter Pilot: Yeah, I got visual on them. I’m in pursuit.
Yuri’s draw drops in shock.
Yuri: WHAAAAAAAAAAT?!? A HELICOPTER?! WERE SCREWED!!
Hatsune Miku: No we’re not! Not while I’m around!
Miku begins to take evasive maneuvers, zigzagging around one tower after another, with the other Vocaloids quickly following along. The helicopter executes the same actions, following along with everything the party is doing.
Hatsune Miku: This helicopter is really hard to shake off! Alright! Hold on even more tightly!
Yuri: Miku! What are you going to do-
Before Yuri could finish his sentence, Miku and the others fly all over the place in a chaotic and unpredictable fashion. The helicopter has a hard time following them, as the party passes one building after another, taking a few corners at each. The group takes a hard left at a building, as the helicopter turns and barely crashes into another building. They suddenly take another hard turn, this time to the right. The helicopter takes a while to follow, as Miku knew this was their chance to escape.
Hatsune Miku: Alright! This is our chance!
Hatsune Miku and the Vocaloids quickly go over a tower and immediately dive down, in which they land in a dark alleyway. As the chopper arrives at the scene, they were nowhere to be found.
[4:42]
The entire party takes their time to catch their breath, as the helicopter continues trying to search for them. Yuri sighs in relief.
Hatsune Miku: There. Did I lose the heli-
Yuri immediately covers Miku’s mouth and looks at the sky.
Yuri: Shhhhhh!!
The helicopter flies over them, still in constant search for them.
L.I. Helicopter Pilot: I lost them. Attempting to locate the intruders.
The party continues to remain on edge, as the helicopter eventually moves further and further away from them.
Kaito: They sure are persistent.
The party continues to remain hidden in the alleyway, as the heat slowly dies down.
L.I. Helicopter Pilot: Yeah, yeah, they’re gone. No trace of them left. I’m heading back to base.
Once they were all sure the helicopter was gone for good, they slowly head out of the alleyway and back on the sidewalk.
(You may stop the music now.)
Yuri: There. We lost them. Finally.
Hatsune Miku: We did it!
Miku begins to jump up and down joyfully. Most of the other Vocaloids finally sigh in relief as well. Gumi, with her blue eyes, speaks up.
Gumi: T-That was too scary…
Meiko speaks soon after.
Meiko: Pfft. I didn’t even get the chance to kill any of them…
Yuri lies his back on the wall of a building, as he sighs once more, calming himself down. Shortly after, he jerks his head back up at the sound of Rin and Len fighting. It seemed things were starting to get heated between them.
Kagamine Rin: It’s all YOUR fault! If you weren’t so loud, we wouldn’t have gotten caught!
Kagamine Len: Speak for yourself! You were the one shouting at me and alerting the guards!
Kagamine Rin: You didn’t help any! Even when we were being chased, you didn’t even do anything to slow them down!
Kagamine Len: What was I supposed to do?! Throw you into their path so they’d all trip over you?!
Rin scoffs in disbelief.
Kagamine Rin: You’d seriously sacrifice ME, your own SISTER, just to save your own butt?!
Kagamine Len: That’s not what I meant, idiot!
Kagamine Rin: Well you sure sounded serious about it!
Yuri realizes this was going nowhere. He decides to end the fight.
Yuri: Ok, that’s enough. This fight is getting you two nowhere.
Kagamine Rin and Len: SHUT UP!!
Yuri sighs.
Kagamine Len: You’d be more than willing to sacrifice me to save your own butt too, you know!
Kagamine Rin: Nuh uh! That would be a waste of metal!
Kagamine Len: I’m not just some piece of scrap metal, you idiot!
Len shoves Rin a few inches back.
Kagamine Rin: Well your brain is! And don’t push me like that!
Rin then shoves Len a few feet back.
Kagamine Len: Oh yeah? Wanna fight abou it?!
Kagamine Rin: Oh, I’m more then willing to!
Yuri: Uhh…
Kagamine Len: Fine then! It’s a brawl! On the count of three, we fight! One… Two…
Before Len could say three, Rin uses her repulsors to boost herself at Len, slamming him hard in the stomach and dragging him into across the air.
Kagamine Len: AGH!! HEY! I WASN’T FINISHED COUNTING, YOU CHEATER!!
Kagamine Rin: Too bad!
With that, Rin continues to drag Len across the air and into the sky, eventually going out of sight. Yuri begins to panic as he was about to lose them.
Yuri: Aw crap! No! Come back, you two! We have to stay together!
Hatsune Miku: Oh, great. Not again.
Yuri: What do you mean by “again”?
Miku sighs.
Hatsune Miku: I’d say that, with the intense heat between them, they might end up destroying half the city. Literally.
Yuri: WHAT?!
Kaito then speaks up.
Kaito: They have been known to be rather destructive when they fight…
Yuri grits his teeth nervously, trying to think of what to do.
Yuri: Miku! We can’t let them destroy the city! I need you to carry me over to Rin and Len so I can stop them!
Miku sighs heavily in reluctance and whines.
Hatsune Miku: Do I have to?
Yuri: YES!!
Hatsune Miku: Fiiiine…
Miku then picks up Yuri and the Vocaloids soon follow behind Miku. They take to the skies, in a desperate attempt to find Rin and Len.
It wasn’t long before they had found them, as each one had been standing on top of skyscrapers on opposite sides of the road. They seemed to be getting ready to fight.
Yuri: Oh boy… This is not going to be fun, is it?

(Please play this song now.)
[0:05]
Just then, Rin and Len both blast into the skies at the same time, aiming for each other. They then clash soon after, their fists locked with each other’s, as they fight it out in a battle of strength first.
[0:12]
Kagamine Rin: Give it up already, brother! You know I’m going to win this battle! You should know I’m the stronger sibling anyway! Ha ha ha!
[0:21]
Kagamine Len: No way!
Len then spins Rin around in a circular motion before throwing her into a tower, and she smashes into it.
Kagamine Len: Clearly, I’m the stronger sibling! Boys are naturally stronger anyway, you know!
[0:28]
Kagamine Rin: Hey! That was on purpose! You’re gonna pay for that!
Rin blasts herself against the tower and straight at Len, in which they get into an intense fistfight.
[0:34]
Kagamine Rin: You’re not stronger! Girls are stronger than boys because we go outside more often! All you would do is play videogames or something!
[0:39]
Kagamine Len: S-SHUT UP!! You don’t know anything about boys! Besides, you’re the one who’s always staring at cute guys!
[0:45]
Rin crosses her arms with a smirk
Kagamine Rin: Aww, did I make you angwy?
[0:50]
Len growls in anger as he points his finger at Rin.
Kagamine Len: You’re so annoying, Rin! You’re always acting like you’re the queen of everything! ESPECIALLY around me! Constantly bossing me around! I’m going to make you pay!
Rin and Len clash arms with each other as Rin speaks up.
[1:02]
Kagamine Rin: Oh, really?! What’re you gonna do, huh?! You’re the one always acting so immature! Like how you keep simping for girls! I’m gonna beat some sense into you! Get ready to have your butt handed, Len!
(Please pause at 1:12. Do not close the song.)
Rin and Len clash their fists together, revealing their special ability: Lightning Shock. As dozens of yellow lightning bolts spread out around the two, they strike buildings and towers, and even the ground, as dozens of people begin to scream and run away.
Yuri: WHAT THE?! WHAT WAS THAT SUPPOSED TO BE?!
Hatsune Miku: That’s what I meant by “literally destroy a city”! They have reality-warping powers, just like me! All of us do! I just happen to have the most powerful form of reality-warping!
Yuri: Huh, so that explains Kaito’s wind abiliti- WAIT, WHAT AM I THINKING?! THIS IS NO TIME TO TALK ABOUT THAT! MIKU! I NEED YOU TO TAKE ME CLOSER! I HAVE TO STOP THEM!
Miku nods as the party continues to fly in Rin and Len’s direction. They needed to stop them fast, before they end up hurting each other, or someone else.
(Please unpause the song now.)
Rin and Len continue to battle it out in a fistfight, parrying each other’s attacks. Len speaks up.
[1:17]
Kagamine Len: Really?! Me acting immature?! You’re the one who believes in having world peace! Well sorry to break it to you, but that ain’t happening any time soon! You need to open your eyes and realize that life is always going to be unfair!
[1:26]
Len manages to land several blows on Rin, including her face and stomach. Rin growls.
[1:29]
Kagamine Rin: Well how would you know?! You haven’t even thought of the idea of world peace! You’re just a hopeless, self-loathing bucket of bolts that spends all his time sleeping and making up terrible jokes! You should be ashamed!
[1:37]
Rin tries to land some punches on Len’s body, but misses. This time, it was Len’s turn to mock Rin.
[1:39]
Kagamine Len: Aww, look who’s mad now.
[1:44]
Rin hisses in fury as she points her finger at Len.
Kagamine Rin: You’re so annoying, Len! You never think about anyone but yourself! You’re a spoiled brat who doesn’t take anyone’s feelings into consideration! ESPECIALLY mine! I’m going to kill you!
She fires off several electric repulsor beams at Len, and some of them hit him.
[1:56]
Kagamine Len: OW! Really now?! What about my feelings?! You’re literally telling me you want to kill me right here and now! Fine! Kill me! I dare you! Just know that I’m going to be the one to kill you first!
[2:06]
Yuri and Miku continue to get closer to Rin and Len, with the party following behind. Finally, they arrive in front of them and Miku yells at them.
Hatsune Miku: Rin! Len! Quit fighting! You’re going to destroy-
Rin and Len both punch Miku away before she could finish her sentence, sending the duo flying back.
Kagamine Rin and Len: STAY OUT OF THIS, ONII-CHAN!!!
The two take their battle over a skyscraper, and they continue their bickering.
[2:18]
Kagamine Len: You’re the stupid one, Rin! An idiot! A fool! It’s you!
Kagamine Rin: No, you!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
[2:24]
Kagamine Rin: You’re the immature one, Len! A child! A whiner! It’s you!
Kagamine Len: No, you!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
[2:29]
Kagamine Len: You’re a terrible sibling, Rin! A crappy one! The worst!
Kagamine Rin: No, you!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
Kagamine Len: You!
Kagamine Rin: You!
[2:34]
Kagamine Rin: Well I wish I was never created to be your sibling!
Kagamine Len: Same here!
Kagamine Rin: SAME!!
[2:40]
The voices of the two begin to overlap as they smack each other’s hand’s. Miku and Yuri recover from the blow as they make another attempt to stop them.
Yuri: Kaito! Meiko! Gumi! I need you to stay back!
The two begin to fly at the fighting siblings once more, this time in an attempt to knock them out. Before they could, though, Rin and Len punch each other in the face, causing another Lightning Shock and striking Miku and Yuri.
[2:52]
Yuri: A-A…
[2:54]
Rin and Len continue their battle.
Kagamine Len: You’re so annoying, Rin! This is why you’re the worst sibling in the multiverse! You’re impossible to deal with! You’re bratty, annoying, selfish, and stupid! I don’t even get how we’re related! Oh, and you smell to-
[3:04]
Rin immediately interrups Len.
Kagamine Rin: SHUT UP!! You’re the stupid one here! I bet you don’t even have a CPU in that thick metallic skull of yours!
[3:11]
Kagamine Rin: You-
Kagamine Len: SHUT UP!!
Kagamine Rin: NO, YOU SHUT UP!!
Kagamine Len: NO, YOU SHUT UP!!
Yuri: BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!
[3:16]
Yuri, who had been thrown by Miku, smashes Rin and Len’s heads together, causing them all to fall. Due to having been suspended several dozen feet over the skyscraper, they fall for a relatively long time, but not before Miku catches Yuri just in time, as Rin and Len both crash on the top of the skyscraper at the same time.
(You may close the song at 3:29.)
(To clarify, the word “Onii-chan” is a Japanese term for “Big brother,” however, by my understanding, the term is relative in weeb culture and can be used to reference a big brother or big sister. While Rin and Len will occasionally refer to Miku as “Onii-chan” throughout the story, it does not mean that Miku is literally their big sister, they just consider her like one.)
Rin and Len slowly get back up on their feet, as they were wept out after their big battle.
Kagamine Rin: Oww…
Kagamine Len: Ugh…
Miku lands both herself and Yuri on top of the skyscraper, and the Vocaloids are soon to land there as well. Rin and Len both lock eyes with Yuri, and they yell at him.
Kagamine Rin and Len: HEY!! WHAT WAS THAT FOR?!
Yuri: I had to stop you two somehow! Don’t blame it on me! Blame it on yourselves!
Rin sighs and puts a finger over Len’s chest.
Kagamine Rin: Well this wouldn’t have happened if YOU weren’t so incompetent!
Kagamine Len: ME?! You were the one who started it! I’m not the one constantly bossing people arou-
Hatsune Miku: SHUT UUUUUUP!!!!!
Miku immediately bonks both of the siblings on their heads, as they groan in agony.
Hatsune Miku: Just admit it! You were both being immature and stupid! Just look at what you’ve both done!
Miku points down at the city, as smoke rose up from the areas that the lightning struck and people ran away and screamed in terror. The police had even come to investigate the area, but found no signs of the source that caused all this destruction.
Hatsune Miku: Rin! You always say that you pray for world peace someday! This is your idea of world peace?! Fighting against your brother and causing mayhem in a city?! And Len! Just… LEN!!
The two siblings looked down upon the destruction they caused. They immediately are filled with guilt, realizing the consequences of their actions.
Kagamine Rin: Oh… I guess we did take it a little too far…
Kagamine Len: Yeah…
Hatsune Miku sighs and shakes her head.
Hatsune Miku: Look, guys, moping around isn’t gonna solve anything. Just admit that what you both did was wrong and apologize to each other.
Rin and Len sigh and look at each other’s faces. They began to apologize to each other in a rather reluctant manner.
Kagamine Rin: Sorry Len…
Kagamine Len: Yeah, sorry Rin…
Hatsune Miku: There! See? That wasn’t so hard, was it?
Miku walks back to Yuri, feeling calmer now that the sibling fight had been put down.
Yuri: Wow. You managed to handle the situation surprisingly well. Nice job.
Hearing those words coming from Yuri made Miku squeal with joy as she speaks up.
Hatsune Miku: Really??? So you finally admit you love me??
Yuri: No, that’s not what I’m saying.
Hatsune Miku: Grrr…
Yuri sighs and suddenly remembers the task at hand.
Yuri: Well, now that that’s settled, what’s the next universe we need to go to?
Miku returns to her cheery mood and begins to speak up eagerly.
Hatsune Miku: Oh yeah! There’s this super cool universe I’ve been meaning to show you! Come on! Let’s go!
Miku grasps Yuri’s hand and boosts into the sky, with the other Vocaloids following behind. They quickly picked up speed as reality began to fade around them once more before turning into a swirling array of blue, white, and black auroras around them.
As they continue to traverse through the passageway, Yuri finally began to notice the numbers on both Miku and Rin’s left shoulders. "01" for Miku and "02" for Rin. “What could those numbers mean?” he thought to himself.
The crew continued to traverse the strange, surreal passageway, on their way to the next universe.
