Hey guys, this is my first story here so I hope you like it (the writing was sloppy so I've come back to revise it)

Well anyway... Here we go!


Chapter 1

The Price of my Soul.


In the the mist a boy stood. He was an average sized blonde with a white T-shirt and black pants; he looked rather confused.

I don't know where I am, all I know is that it's really misty. Ha quite a thing huh, one minute I'm in my bedroom and the next I'm in the damn mist in the middle of nowhere. I whish I could honestly say I wasn't scared.

"Len Kagamene".

The voice came out of the mist directly in front of me and as the mist pulled apart I saw a giant with golden brown hair not 4 meters in front of me, it's really quite unnerving. After all it is unnaturaly tall, carries a spear that's easily bigger than me as if it's a simple walking stick, and overall it just doesn't seem…quite human. I don't know if I can really describe it further, but it's almost like something ancient humans would aim to be, impossibly tall and fair. There's some compelling force that makes me want to stare at it, but I realize I haven't answered it yet, so I say, "Yeah. Who are you?". I try and fail to make myself sound confident.

The strange man, yeah I'm pretty sure he's a man despite his flowing locks, looks vaugly amused at my failed bravery. "Who I am isn't all that important, what is important is my offer".

There's someting unatural about his voice that I didn't notice before, as if it wasn't ever really spoken, just heard. Regardless any offer this man could have is probably worth my time, it's hard to describe really but I feel compeled to listen listen to him, I don't like it. "What would this offer be".

"First let me ask a question. Would you give your humanity for a chance at the world?", he smirks at me.

"Hehe…isn't the price for that kind of thing usually my soul.", I smirk back.

"It is only a chance.", his smile widens.

"Let me be clear. This world is shit; it is full of unessisary war, poverty, and universal curruption. I WOULD give my soul for a chance to fix it.", mine disappears.

The man let loose the most perfect, most inhuman smile I've ever seen and said, "So you accept?".

"Only a fool would refuse" I say with the confidence I couldn't find earlier. Though I think I've just been talked into a deal with the devil, he looks like no devil I could possibly imagine.

"Excellent my Champion! You will Awaken in ten hours, and I will make it your responsibility to light the Beacon. Farewell." with that the mist curled around him and he was gone. As if he never existed at all, he vanished leaving me all alone in the middle of nowhere.

Who was that guy… if he was a guy at all? "Champion", "Awaken" , and "Beacon" what did he mean by all that, not to mention his offer. When do I have to face the all to likely chance that he was just an insane passerby lost in the fog just like me. Luckily I don't get to fret for long because the floor drops out from under me and I fall.


I sit bult upright, relieved by the sight of my room's own yellow walls. I take a second to take everything in, irrationally afraid that something might have disappeared. My room has the same hardwood floors and the same desk in the same far corner with the same guitar beside it. All of the normal stuff is still there to, dressers, a closet, and some bookshelves, rather embarrassingly they're mostly full of science and history books; I'm almost a nerd.

Hah I'm so stupid, I almost thought that misty scene and a man about three meters tall were real. Ha wouldn't that be interesting though, a deal with that strange guy. I sigh as I look down at my cl-

SHIIIIIITTTT! It's 7:15 school starts at 7:30, granted it's Friday and I go to a five day school week school, but i've been tardy way to much already. My parents have already gotten two letters from the school.

I start to panic as I jump out of bed and put on my uniform. A black over coat with yellow trim and a white undershirt, and similar black pants.

I check the mirror for a quick second, making sure that my messy blonde hair is still intact, before rushing out the door and yelling a quick goodbye to my parents. I'll never make it! School is 2 miles away, and it'll take way longer than ten minutes to get there even if I sprint through the alleys.

As I sprint I see other kids from my school walking idyllically along. What the hell's matter with them, don't they realize that they'll be late? As I sprint past the slacking kids someone jumps on my back laughing.

"Woah Len, where do you think your hurrying of to. It's only seven'o clock" Hoping off my back was a slender silver haired boy in the same uniform as me. It was none other than my school's residential jackass, and self proclaimed best friend of mine: Piko.

His guilty and over exaggerated smile told me that he was responsible for my rushing around and I quickly put him in a headlock. "You know I hate to run around, you jackass!"

"Gulity as charged" he laughed. I pull him to head height prepared to rough him up a little when suddenly a stone flies between our heads.

"Stop fighting morons or else you'll be late" says a feminine voice behind us. We don't even have to look to the know who our assailant is: Gumi Megpoid, green haired beauty, goody two shoes, freshman class president, and, although she'd never admit it, best friends with Piko and I. We've been together for about two years now, ever since on my first day when Piko tried to prank me, Gumi tried to stop him, and we all ended up covered in grey paint.

Gumi strode right up to us and started to walk past, her long legs complimented by the uniforms short skirt. The female uniform followed the same basic design as the male uniform exept the trimming which is blue instead of yellow.

I reluctantly sat Piko down and start to follow Gumi complaining slightly, "Come on Gumi just let me beat him a little, he deserves it I swear!" it's all in good fun though. No matter how much Piko annoys me I'd never really hurt the happy fool… to badly.

"I'm sure he does, but if I let you two start fighting you'll be at it all morning", Gumi says not missing a beat as Piko finally catches up, "What did he do anyway, mess with your alarmclock again?"

Piko's laughing answered her for me and he teased me chuckling, "You know Len you have to learn to trust people more. I mean all of your drawers are locked and your alarmclock even had a passcode lock; 9-3-5-6 aka Y-E-L-O come on man to easy."

"I think you're a prime example of why I think it's stupid to trust people!"

"Amen" Gumi interjected

"You know what, you guys are no fun! There I said it" Piko said pretending to be hurt. He made huge exaggerated hand gestures and even threw a few fake sobs in for good measure. Gumi and I can't help but laugh at his overacting and before we know it we're at school: Vocaloid Academy High School for the gifted, the most esteemed public school in Tokyo, well technically we are in a suburb of Tokyo.

"I Gotta go", Gumi yells running of, " Student council stuff see ya guys". She runs towards the school's side entrance leaving us alone.

While we walk Piko slides in close to me and whispers, "So when are you gonna ask Gumi out?"

The seriousness of Piko's voice takes me by surprise and I get a little flustered at his acquisition, but I manage to keep my cool and say, "You know I don't feel that way about Gumi" I turn around and watch Gumi for another second, "though I have to admit that she is pretty hot."

Piko laughs victoriously, "Haha I knew it! You try to act all nice and sweet around the girls, but in reality your just like me: a pervert, a filthy pervert." Even though I'm the but of the joke I can't help but laugh at Piko and his messed up thought process, and I can't argue with him… he is a filthy pervert. Laughing we enter the school.

The school hallways are full of people, and it's five minutes until classes actually starts. It's hard to believe that all these kids tested at having an iq of over 130, and still can form normal social clichés. Piko and I don't really talk to each other in the hall, but we talk to other people for a short while; I'm really bad at names though and can barely remember the names of most of the people that talk to me, but eventually we make our way to first period.

First period is a computer class that I have with Gumi and Piko so we basically just mess around.

Second period is Math: all to easy.

Third period is History: again all to easy.

Fourth period is Lunch: Gumi can get us the key to the roof so we eat up there to avoid the crowds of the cafeteria. Mainly Piko and I mess around while Gumi scolds us and pretends not to have fun.

Fifth period is Language: wippty doo!

Sixth period is Gym: I hate running.

Seventh period is Science: this one I like.

Eighth period is English: usually rather boring but today something interesting happened.

The teacher is dribbling on about something, and as usual I'm not listening, but then suddenly Gumi, who is sitting to my right, knudges me with her elbow effectively waking me up and says, "Didn't you used to live there?"

"Where?", I blink.

"Saitama, the place the new exchange student's from".

"Yeah", I lived there until shortly after my fourteenth birthday, we had to leave beacuse of business reasons and I- wait exchange student.

I suddenly tuned into the teachers speech "-and so please welcome Kagamine Rin". It's lucky I started to listen when I did, because now I can't hear anything, I'm shocked, stunned. I mean of all the schools in all the cities of Japan the Kami finally brought her back to me. Rin was my best friend back in Saitama. We did everything together, we were practically twins, and I haven't seen her in two years… some ackward stuff happened when I left.

As she walks through the door I am taken aback by how stunning she looks. Her platinum blonde hair falling down to just bellow her shoulders. She's gronw a few inches and filled out in a few, very right, places; her voice is just as angelic as ever, "Hello everyone, it's nice to meet you all. Please feel free to call me Rin". For two years that sweet voice has hunted my nightmares and blessed my dreams.

It's a shame her voice was interrupted by the monotone teacher, "Alright Ms. Kagamine please take a seat behind Mr. Kagamine."

Oh God she's coming this way, just be cool Len, stay cool. She walks behind me and sits down. I don't say anything, I'm freezing up, I'm blowing up. After what feels like an eternity I finnaly manage to say to her with out any prompt, "You know it's nice to see you again."

For a moment she looks confused, but then her eyes filled with revelation and she says, "My god Len! you go to this high school, it's so good to see you". She gave me a quick hug, that I'm kinda surprised she could pull off with the desks between us, and after a dozen seconds she says, "You know the flat's a mess right now, but it should be clean by Sunday if you wanna come over."

I'm do my best not to smile too crazily and say, "You know I would like that. We could catch up… and stuff.

Gumi was looking at me, with a look that was like a cross between confusion and something I couldn't quite place, so I gave her the story, while sparing some of the finer details. I could sit here and talk for hours with them; there are introductions to make stories to tell, but the teacher of coarse has to ruin my fun and says in his horrible boring voice,"Now hush down class and open your books. Read today's reading assignment and continue with your analysis."

The assignment is a section of hamlet in English, but unlike the rest of these bozos I can actually speak and read in English, and I've already read hamlet. With so much time left in the class, and with no one to talk to, I decided to take a quick double check of the room. I am in the second to last chair in the far row, to my left there are windows, to my right there's Gumi, behind me is the newly placed Rin, in front of me is Rook, my class's star athlete and captain of the Freshmen sect. of the football(soccer) club, and the rest of the class is just a faceless mass, like I said I'm really bad at names.

I sigh, It's 16:00 right now and school gets out at 16:15, but Piko got detention today for back talking a teacher, completely typical, Gumi has student council stuff, when doesn't she, and Rin has to go home to unpack, so it looks like I have to go home alone. Besides it would be a little stange to walk home together with Rin already. So I sit there bored knowing that I have to go home alone.

As the last bell rings many of the students rush to get out, but my friends and I stick around and chat for as long as we can. However before long I'm forced to give a goodbye to them, and I go to grab what little I have to take home, because only chumps do homework at home.

I go home through the back alleys to avoid people. You know I rather like being alone. There's no nagging, no bad practical jokes, and most recently no old memories. A calm walk is just what I need to start a relaxing weekend.

Damn it why am I always wrong! The ground is spinning out from under me. I think my head is going to explode Aaaaagh! This is the most intense pain I have ever felt! It hurts so damn bad that I can't even come up with a clever simile. Fuck! How are logical thoughts still possible at this point!

I fall to the ground writhing, every inch of my flesh is burning, it's as if my nerves are being burnt out of my body, and that's not evening mentioning the incredible pain in my head as it feels like my brain is scrambled. Eventually the pain stops and I just keep lying there on the filthy street.

Nothing seems wrong with me at first but I still think I should… wait a minute why aren't I worried about this? Yeah, I know that they say adrenaline represses emotions, but I don't even feel the pleasant buzz of adrenaline; the only thing I feel is slightly confused and I don't think that counts as an emotion… my emotions… my humanity… maybe there was something more to that dream this morning.

After a few seconds I get up to walk back home, but as I do there is a new pain, a physical pain. It is a cold burning pain that makes it's way through my body and freezes my - "of coarse"

I smirk as I fall. I almost laugh as I realize the terrible truth behind this new pain.

My heart has stopped.

Damn you beat. Beat. Beat. Beat GODDAMNIT. It's easy ONE-TWO-THRee-four. My heart beat, I'm controlling my actual heart, muscle by muscle! It's amazing!

As the pain retreats I'm hit with a wave clearity, such that I know I've never thought so clearly before! My emotions appear to be gone and it seems like my strange dream this morning was something more than a dream. Neuron by neuron, muscle by muscle I activate the complex process required to stand up. It also appears that I've lost my subconcious, oh this will never do. I'll need to derive severall new controllable thought proxies to take the place my subconscious once occupied.

I need to do this fast and get going. There's a lot to do and The price for my soul shall not be failure.


Far away from Len and the rest of society, for that matter. High in the mountains away from almost everything else three figures stood in the moonlit courtyard of a strange temple, they spoke,

"Now the pieces have awoken, 30 strong above humanity. Now we three patiently wait for the game to begin. For when the beakon is lit all hell will be set!"

"We don't have to talk in riddles do we brother?"

"Yeah man don't be lame"

"I never get to have any fun I, do I?"

"If you surrender you can still probably live."

The young blonde boy curently knifed to the wall looked up and said, "It would be unhonorable to surrender"

"Very well I will grant you an honorable death" with that the sword came down severing the blonde's head from his body.
