When Mari, aka 'Master', gets a virus in her computer, she is transported into her computer. Now in the Database, the Vocaloids and UTAUs are at war with the Fanmades. Will they prevail, with the aid of Mari? Or will Akaito and his cronies take over?

Hard Drive Singer

Chapter 1

Just another average summer day for Mari. Hot, stiff, and very humid. She yawned in the afternoon heat. No point going outside. They didn't have a pool, and the community one was closed, for whatever reason. So she chose to log onto her computer. Maybe make a video or something.

She flicked the power button. Normal startup screens. Nothing to worry─Woah. Was that the login screen? It was, instead of blue and green, orange and red. The heck? Did her brother mess with her computer again? Ugh. Thinking it was a one time glitch, she logged in. Her desktop was white, with 'You've got a trojan!' basically written all over it. She grimaced. He really had messed with her computer.

She clicked open Opera, ignoring the million pop-ups. It directed her to some porn website. Averting her eyes, she typed in Google. She was quite relieved to see the search engine's homepage. She typed in 'anti trojan software free' in the box, and clicked 'I'm Feeling Lucky'. She didn't feel like searching through hundreds of websites. She just wanted to kick that virus out with a 'Don't let the door hit 'ya on the way out'.

A page popped up. The program looked reliable enough. It was supposed to do a scan and delete anything that looked suspicious. She hit the download button. A fairly quick wait. About five minutes passed. Finally, it finished, and she opened the program. Instantly, she felt a lurch in her stomach. A sensation in her back, like she was being pushed forward. She reached over to close the program, but her arms were glued to her sides. Oh, great. First she gets a virus. Now she's paralyzed.

Suddenly, the world around her was black. The throbbing worsened, and for a moment, she felt like she was flying. The wind rushed under her feet. The air pushed against her from the front. And she felt like she was being passed though something cool and refreshing, like a wall of water. And yet, it wasn't water. It wasn't wet, and it felt fairly solid. It held its shape. Like a phantom wall. It sent a shiver down her spine.

What the heck was this? She went from having a trojan to having hallucinations. This was some dream. And very realistic. It wasn't foggy and vague at all. She had perfect perception of the moment. Which kind of sucked. She couldn't wait to wake up in her nice, warm bed. Right? Wasn't she going to wake up, snuggled between thick covers?

Then her head began to ache. Her mind slowed. Her thoughts seemed garbled and nonsensical. And she lost consciousness. Ah, finally. She would wake up. What a pleasant dream. Although she could've gone without the stomach lurching. Urgh.

"Oh! I think she's waking up."

"Who do you think she is?"

"Dunno. Maybe a new UTAU?"

Mari's eyes shot open. She was not in a warm, comfortable bed. She was not snuggled deep in blankets. She was sprawled on a grassy field, where two blond haired twins were crouched over her, occasionally poking her with sticks. Somehow, she had changed clothes. She was now wearing a short sleeved orange shirt with a flower between the collar folds, a pair of white shorts, boots, and fingerless gloves. And, upon further inspection, a pair of headphones. How strange. "The heck happened?" she muttered groggily, still half asleep.

The twins did a double take. The boy stared at her with large, bugged eyes, and the girl gawped widely. The girl had short blonde hair, pinned with barrettes, and with a large bow at the top. She wore a yellow themed sailor top that ended around her midriff, and a pair of black shorts, boots, and arm-warmers. Her brother, on the other hand, wore his blond hair in a messy ponytail. He also wore a yellow sailor styled top, although his was of average length. His basketball shorts were black, and lined with yellow, and he also wore the same boots and arm-warmers.

"S-Sorry," the boy apologized, rubbing his head. "We didn't expect you to wake up. You looked out cold." I wasn't mad at him or anything. It was a natural response. Actually, she was confused. Where was she, and why was she there? And how could she get back home? "You must be a new UTAU," he continued, more confident now. "Your creator must have dumped you here. I'm Len, and this is my sister, Rin. Welcome to the database," he finished, grinning.

"Database?" Mari said blankly. What in the world were they talking about? She scratched her head confusedly. "And what's an UTAU?"

"EH?" Rin leaped up, clearly flabbergasted. "You don't know what the Database is? And you don't even know what an UTAU is? What kind of singer are you?" She looked skeptically at Mari. She was suspicious. 'She didn't know if she could trust me,' she thought. 'I would do the same thing,' Mari thought with a sigh.

"Calm down Rin," Len said, exasperated. "Maybe there's a bug in her oto file, or something." He patted her on the shoulder, and she sat. But she still looked alert. What, did she think she was some stalker? The poor girl's only thirteen! How could she be in any trouble? "May I scan you?" Len asked politely. She, oblivious, nodded. She pictured a blue ray coming out from his eyes and running up and down her.

"LEN!" Rin growled, angry. Then, when Len looked at her, she threw in an innocent expression. "Y-You've never scanned me before." She frowned and blushed lightly, throwing in some moe tears for extra effect.

Len's face instantly turned beet red. "Er, that's 'cause you're my sister. That'd be twincest. B-But if you insist..." he trailed off, obviously uncomfortable. Mari furrowed her brow, perplexed. Why would he be embarrassed about 'scanning' his─OH GOD. He must mean─

Rin cut my thoughts off with a loud, "Yes!" They leaned toward each other, Len blushing and Rin looking moe again. This is just like a fanfiction! She should've brought her popcorn. And maybe an iced tea. She was never one for soda. Their lips finally hit each other. Len leaned in a bit, and they broke away. Both looked rather flustered.

"The reason you have to scan through a kiss is because all of a Vocaloid and UTAU's data is stored within their mouth. It's how we sing so well. Rin, all of your files seem in order. Though your 'k' files are a bit high in amplitude," he winked. Rin beamed. "How about I take you back to VocaUTAU Central?" he said to Mari, smiling. "They can preform tests on you there."

"Alright," Mari replied. "I don't do blood samples though." She put on a stubborn expression, and crossed her arms.

"Blood sample?" Len and Rin said in unison, shaking their heads. What other nonsense was this UTAU's head full of?
