Set everything ablaze, watch it burn into a crisp, watch your life, dreams, wishes, watch everything you know crumble into ash, swallowed by the hungry, raging fire that can't be quenched.

11:33 PM, June 10th, 3084: The countryside, Poland: Aria Research Building 5
The few people passing by only acknowledged her with a nod. They knew who she was, but they didn't know what she was going to do.
'Tonight shall be festive', she thought, smirking. 'They have no idea what's about to happen. And they never will.'
Brushing her hair out of her eyes, her shoes clicked quietly against the white tiled floor. Bright, blinding white lights blinked around her. Door after door, passing bland white walls with no decorations. Up ahead, she could see the door that separated her from her destination, it's gray paint chipping and the steel beneath it starting to rust.
.
Down the hall, an old door.
.
The woman blinked and pulled open the door with a delicate, gloved hand. She had already gained permission to enter the room, her card giving her entry. In the dark room, she flicked on the lights. As the buzzing, dim lights flickered on, she scanned the room. It was a small room, with faded blue wallpaper coating the walls and a simple, white tiled floor, and it was immaculate. Only a spider web stretched across the ceiling corner.
Ah, yes, she smiled, seeing that what she wanted was there. Three androids lay on metal tables, thick wires connecting them to the wall as they charged. The three war machines that she had helped create. And that he hadcarelessly forgotten about.
.
The twisted key to everything.
.
"Beautiful, beautiful," she muttered. The perfect weapons to destroy the humans. The stupid humans. They had crushed the world, done irreparable damage, wouldn't it be better to destroy them all? The horror and destruction of the beautiful world would end. Yes, yes, it would. She couldn't wait to see the panic, the terror, as her plan was put into play. She couldn't wait to see the blood that seeped across the ground, necks cracking, and burned flesh scattering the lawns.
Yet, she still needed to get rid of those hiding in their android bodies, seeking a perfect world in electronics where their bodies don't get old or decay, nor can feel pain. It was one thing to put disabled ones in there, but putting perfectly normal, healthy bodies in were just a waste. But, the virus she held in the flash drive kept safe in her pocket should do the trick.
Then, she would visit her two former friends personally, and with her own hands, torture them until their blood stained her hands and kill them, take the revenge she had been anticipating.
'Don't think ahead', she chided herself. 'Focus.'
She turned to the small computer in the corner of the room, easy to miss, since the dull light didn't reach the corners.
.
Drowning in the darkness.
.
A small, white glow lit up the corner of the room as the computer powered up. For a moment, it was silent, except for the whooshing of the air vent. Sitting down on the hard, plastic chair, she typed something into it, her fingers clicking against the keys. A soft whirring sound filled the room, and two of the androids sat up. The woman got up, her black dress brushing around her legs, and examined the third one, who hadn't stirred.
"Shit," she muttered under her breath. "Third one's malfunctioned..."
'Never mind, never mind,' she thought. Two would be enough for her task.
.
Dark future, twisted future.
.
The two androids watched her every movement, waiting for a command. She straightened, smoothing out the wrinkles in her dress, and smiled at the two working androids. She unplugged their chargers.
"What is your task for us, Mistress?" The android designed to look masculine began monotonously. His voice was full of static and had a metallic edge to it. Realizing they still recognized her as their mistress, the woman didn't hesitate.
"Destroy everyone who isn't in your database on sight," she said calmly, a crazy grin creeping onto her face. Not many knew of this project, therefore their database didn't hold as many people as the others would. Granted, these ones were completely wires and programming with no human body to fall back on. And they technically were against the laws of the government.
'Finally, my dream will come true!' She thought, the robots rising from their seats and 'warming up' to start their new task.
"Yes, we shall report back to you when it is done. Have a nice day~," they both said in unison, despite their words their eyes a void of any emotion. They then got up and, without breaking a step, marched out of the room, intent on completing their mission.
.
Death to all!
.
A few moments later, screams and gunshots echoed through the hall. The woman smirked and left the little room, stepping carefully over the bodies of the dead workers and pools of blood.
That night, only one person walked out of the research center alive.
.
Death to all!
.
An innocent smile covered her insanity, hiding her festering mind from the world. She was insane, she was twisted, she was sick. No one would suspect her, no one at all.
After all, everyone who had seen her that warm summer night was gone.
.
DEATH TO ALL!
.
11:24 AM, June 11, 3084
She stepped carefully up the stairs, watching for anything that could ruin her black Lolita dress and clicking high heel shoes. Avoiding the wet branch of a bush, she pressed the doorbell, hearing the loud ring resonate in the house. Shuffling was heard before the door swung open, revealing a tired looking woman with pink hair in a long ponytail and brownish-amber eyes.
"Oh, hello," the pink-haired woman said warily. "What brings you here?"
"Hello, Iroha," the woman said, smiling calmly. "I need to talk to you about something."
Iroha eyed the woman suspiciously, recalling her confession and their fight a few weeks ago.
She would normally do something far worse than 'talking' before actually forgiving her, as she had observed over the long years her husband and herself had known the woman.
"Okay," she said slowly. "But make it quick; I'm busy."
The woman gritted her teeth, smoothing her black dress out, then she said cheerfully, "It will be quick. I wouldn't want to waste your time."
Iroha didn't seem to notice how the last word was stressed, and beckoned the woman inside.
Later that night, Iroha disappeared. No one knew where she went, and there were no signs of murder in the house. Some claimed that they saw a woman in a black dress enter the house three hours earlier, but there was no evidence she was ever there. The only piece of evidence left was a cup of tea, with no fingerprints on it.
Her husband, Leon, grieved, as he knew both he and his wife were in danger, but decided that because she was a childhood friend, that she would spare them. Holding the picture of him, his wife and his son, to his heart, he remembered the 3rd android.
'This is precisely why I made him,' he thought, as he went to fetch his son.
"Come on Len, we need to go somewhere safe," Leon said to his 13 year old son. Len followed him obediently.
"Why?" He asked, walking alongside his father, curious, scared and tired because of the policemen who showed up at 2AM and his mother's disappearance.
"You'll understand better when you're older," was all he got as an answer, one he received many, many times before.
The whole Kagamine family went missing later that day. The last anyone saw of them was when they were heading towards the Aria research center. What the police found there was astonishing; bodies, blood and bullets everywhere. Not a soul was in sight. Looking around, they found that an illegal army android program was started, but besides the blue prints, there was no sign of the androids anywhere. All that remained were 3 empty metal tables where the androids once lay. They tried to shut it down from the computers, but failed, as anyone who knew the needed passwords were either dead or missing.
But that was just the start of the carnage humans were about to face.

Destroy everything you hate, smash it until it is unrecognizable, crush it until it is mere dust, slowly tear it apart until it finally breaks, ruin it, eradicate it, shatter it, annihilate it until it exists no more.

5:43 PM, June 7, 3084: Kyoto, Japan- Aria Center
I sighed as I dragged my body along. I knew my energy was running low, and I would have to charge soon. Running my hand through my short, tame blonde hair, I trudged on. I was close to the Aria center I stayed at so I could charge soon. I silently hoped that I would make it there before I ran out of battery. I probably shouldn't of had spent that much time sight seeing; it's still dangerous to be at 0% even in this town. Every town's got its creeps, you know.
.
Hurry, hurry, not much time left.
.
My feet quickened their pace. I need to get there soon…I was running now, my hair flying in the wind. I only had to turn right now and then keep running until I saw a tall gray building.
As I rounded the corner, a red warning sign flashed before my eyes.
15% battery left!
I know, I know! I thought to myself, willing myself to hurry up.
.
So close to the dark end of the bright white tunnel.
.
Almost there! I thought.
10% battery left!
Was I going to make it? I hoped so.
Dammit, dammit, I shouldn't have stayed out for so long. I knew I wasn't fully charged, but I still went out anyways! 'Rin, you idiot,' I scolded myself.
5% battery left!
I sped up to as fast as I could go, my feet slapping against the ground. I was probably making a huge racket, but I didn't care.
.
Run, run, as fast as you can.
.
Shit, I probably wouldn't make it to my charger. I closed my eyes, hoping that one of the workers apart of the program would find me and take me inside.
1% battery left!
As I collapsed and my vision faded, I wished that someone who knew me would find me.
.
Too late, too late.
.
Kagamine Rin, codenamed CV02, activating…
I awoke on a metal table, my charger connected to me, and a creamy white ceiling. As I sat up, Luna, my 'caretaker' jumped up.
"Rin!" she said, and I cringed. "Where were you?"
"Uh…"
Luna shook her head. "Rin," she started. "How many times have I told you that you have to get back before your power runs out!"
"I know," I mumbled, staring at the ground. "I just forgot, that's all."
Luna sighed exasperatedly, running her hands through her long black hair. "Rin," she said. "How could you possibly forget to get back to the center before you ran out of battery completely?"
"I don't know," I muttered sheepishly.
"Well you should be thankful that Neru had found you when she was going out for a break!" Luna huffed.
"I'm sorry," I said. "It won't happen again."
"It better not." Luna glared at me, but I could tell that she wasn't angry anymore. That's Luna for you; she can't stay angry long.

Flames die down to glowing embers in the ash.

6:06 PM, June 7, 3084: Kyoto, Japan- Aria Center
"You think that we can one day leave the center?" Akikoroid leaned against the rough stonewall as we watched goldfish flit around in a giant blue tank. I had always loved watching fish swim around. It calmed me down when I was a human, and the light bouncing off their shiny, iridescent scales looked beautiful in my eyes. The Aria center had installed a fish tank so we would have something to look at in the center, and to make the building look nicer and more welcoming on the inside.
"What do you mean?" I said, confused. "We are allowed to leave."
"I know, but forever." Akikoroid replied. "That would be cool." I stared at her uncertainly.
"Maybe," I said thoughtfully. "Once they're sure we're ready to be able to fend for ourselves. Why, do you want to leave this place?"
"Yeah, kind of," Akikoroid admitted. "This place is kind of boring. I want a little spice in my life! How about you?"
"Eh, maybe someday," I said, resting my chin on my hands and staring at the goldfish. Their scales flashed in the light. "But I don't want to right now."
"Well, I do," Akikoroid said. "I hope I get to go soon."
"Cool," I said. "I hope your wish comes true." I continued to watch the goldfish swim around. I wondered how they feel in that tank. Sure, the tank was big, but they probably had explored the whole thing already, so many times that they had memorized it.
'Maybe,' I thought. 'Maybe that's how Akikoroid feels. She knows this whole place already, and she's tired of it.'
Maybe I kind of feel the same too.
.
Birds in a cage, fish in a bowl, lizard in a tank, it's all the same once you think about it, they're all trapped, they're all tired of being confined, and they're all hungry for freedom.
Thanks for reading! I'm trying out a new style, and I'm writing in first person, so if it's a bit choppy or confusing, please tell me! DX
Anyway, Sakura will be writing the next chapter.
Oh, and those lyric things that I put in were made up. If it overlaps with some real song lyric in real life, then that's completely unintentional. :3
Don't forget to review and tell us what you think! Oh, and also tell us who else you want in the story! We couldn't decide who to put in as side characters, so we'll do who ever is the most popular! But we're already putting in Miku and Kaito.
Mizuki, signing OUT! *Poofs in a shower of flower petals*
