A/N: After 3 years, I'm back. In the Elsword fandom. I do have more Vocaloid in the works, but I needed a change in pace.
Warnings: YandeRena. Because Rena would make a scary enemy too. Oh, and horribly written lyrics by yours truly.

I'll leave the classes to your imagination.

Magical Distortion

"…and with a magical distortion in time,
Perhaps magic will shine once again.
And with a magical distortion in space,
Perhaps you will learn to love again."

The crowd of Ponggos cheered passionately as Aisha finished her last song of the night. She panted slightly, tired from her strenuous dance routine, but her face glowed with happiness as she stared out at the shouting crowd. Purple sparkles and silver streams of light faded as the lights turned off one by one, leaving just a single spotlight on the purple-haired idol.

"Thank you, Altera, for being an amazing crowd tonight!" Aisha shouted into the rhinestone-encrusted microphone. Raising the mic, which was disguised to be her staff, she shot a few of her signature silver starballs into the air. "See you all soon!"

She turned back and headed backstage to the dressing room as the audience filed out of the concert hall.

"Did you see that?"

"That was amazing!"

"I hope I can be as famous as Aisha one day!"

Aisha smiled as she the noise of the crowd faded away with each step she took. She loved her job; she loved writing and making music that made other people happy; she loved meeting new people as she toured around Elrios.

Most importantly, she loved being in the spotlight, beloved by all.

"Good job, Aisha!" her bodyguard and manager, Elsword, called out. He tossed her a bottle of water, knowing how dehydrated she would be after moving around under the intense warm lighting.

"Thanks, Elsword. Couldn't have done it without you." She caught the water bottle easily with one hand and unlocked the door to her dressing room. She stepped inside, leaving the door slightly ajar. "Where to next?"

"Feita. I know some of your die-hard fans are eagerly waiting for you to grace them with your presence." Elsword grinned knowingly outside the room.

"Oh, shut up." Aisha rolled her eyes as she picked up a brush and loosened her curly purple pigtails. "Allegro's just… rather persistent." She tucked her hair under a hat and began changing from her flashy purple and pink performing outfit and into more casual clothing so she could make it out of the concert hall without being mobbed by fans and paparazzi.

"Persistent enough to break a leg while sneaking backstage." Elsword snorted as he remembered the stammering fool who fell off the wall that surrounded their venue in Feita. He couldn't remember who was more surprised: Allegro when he met Aisha or Aisha when Allegro suddenly swooned and fainted.

He heard Aisha's bubbly giggle float out from the slightly open door. "Well, I think he's more harmful to himself than to me," she joked, stepping out of the room.

The two began walking down the hall and to the exit, where they would leave to go back to the inn. "You know, I won't let anything harm you, right?" Elsword asked seriously, glancing sideways at Aisha's expression.

Aisha shifted her eyes to Elsword's red ones and gave him her signature toothy grin. "Yep, I know. Isn't that what I hired you for?" she retorted, oblivious to the fact that Elsword was seeking a more serious answer.

Elsword sighed internally as they reached the exit. "Yeah, I guess" he replied as he pushed the door open.

Yeah, I guess I can wait a bit longer.

"…if you could wait
just a bit longer,
I could become
so much stronger…"

Eve's soft voice echoed across the fields of Ruben Village, attracting a small crowd of villagers and phorus alike. Her long, white hair flowed elegantly behind her as she glided across the stage, eliciting cheers from the audience. She swayed softly to the beat of the upbeat pop song, closing her eyes to complete the final part of the song.

"… if you would just wait
I will never fade."

The music faded into the background as soft applause rose up from the fields. With a flourish, Eve raised her hand into the air and added her own magical stream of lasers and bolts for a dramatic effect.

"Thank you, Ruben. I hope to see you soon," she said softly, bowing as the audience turned to leave.

"Good job tonight, Eve," her manager, Rena, said as she approached. "A few more lives and maybe a few singles later, you can reach Sander's stage."

"Thank you for your hard work again tonight, Rena," the Nasod replied with her typical poker face.

Rena beamed. "No problem at all! Shall we get moving to the photo shoot now? After all, you are to appear in Elder Gazette in a few days. With those looks of yours, I'm sure you'll attract an even larger fanbase. Oh, and you can't forget that new song you said you'd try out. Raven and I worked so hard on it. I'm sure it'll be a hit!"

"Calm down and stop overworking the poor girl," a gruff voice behind Rena interrupted.

"Hi, Raven! How was security today? No problems at all?" Rena turned and smiled up at Raven, continuing her high-speed talking. "And don't worry. Eve's getting enough rest, aren't you, Eve? Dark circles would only mar your popularity!"

"Yes, I know. I will be sure to rest properly." Eve seemed unfazed at the blonde woman's spiel, maintaining her expressionless face. Even the mention of more work didn't make her blink.

"Would you like to retire now, Eve? I can show you back to the inn," Raven offered. He scratched the back of his head awkwardly, glancing at Rena.

"Oh, I'm sure Eve can get back just fine, right? Remember, if you ever get mobbed by the media, just hold your head down and charge through the crowd!" Rena beamed again, only much more forced as she inconspicuously stomped on Raven's foot.

"Oof!"

"Yes, I know my way back very well. And I am sure that I am not well known enough to attract that many humans from the press," replied Eve in her soft, robotic tone.

"Alright, me 'n Raven have things to discuss about our upcoming plans. We'll see you later!" Rena waved enthusiastically as Eve turned to walk back to Ruben Village's small inn.

She turned back to Raven and shot him a glare. "What was that for? You know we had plans after her concert."

"Sorry, I was only trying to be polite," replied Raven, rolling his eyes. "Why, is someone jealous?" he added, extending the last syllable in a teasing lilt.

This earned him another stomp on the foot.

"That aside," Rena said as she adjusted her boot, "Eve's just not getting famous fast enough. No matter how much work we put in, that stupid Aisha girl is always at the top of Elrios Top 100! We need to find a way to bring her down!"

"And why isn't Eve's hard work enough? She has her modeling and her records sell a decent amount. I'm sure we don't have to resort to sabotage."

"It just isn't enough! Do you want to be following an unknown pop star around for the rest of your life?" retorted Rena sharply. "No, we need to boost her to the top, the very pinnacle of the industry."

And I have a bone to pick with that Aisha girl.

Raven sighed deeply. "At your insistence, dear Rena. I'm assuming you have something planned?"

Raven could see a sharp glint in Rena's eyes. "Aw, honey! You are just too smart for your own good," she squealed happily, giving him a light kiss on the cheek. "Of course I have something planned! And best of all, it mostly involves you.

"You remember the layout of Velder very well, don't you? And how the demons are sealed there…?"

A/N: Seeing how I took a 3 year break, don't expect fast updates. But reviews give me motivation. Hinthint.
But yeah, the fragments of lyrics you will be seeing are all written by me. Even though I don't know squat about music.
Anyways, thanks for reading. I hope you enjoyed!
Stay awesome.
