I really should update my other fic…
But instead, I got an idea for a new fic that my friends suggested while we're chatting on facebook.
And that idea are on my mind for some time and its make me can't concentrate to writing my 'Persona Alternate Reality: Souji Seta Journey' fic.
So, I decided to write this new fic so that it can be out of my mind.
But meh… I will continue that fic even if it takes ten years to finish it.
Oh, and this story will have element from manga named 'Psyren'. So don't surprise if the story and the terms almost same with it (I said ALMOST), but the character from it will not appear in this story. But maybe some…
And here we go with the new story that my friend came up with.
Disclaimer: Vocaloid and Psyren are not mine.
Chapter 1: Enter the world of Psyren.
Flame and rubble.
All he can see in his surrounding is rubble with flame dancing on it. The clouds on the sky are dark. Many lightning flashing from the dark sky. There also many tornadoes coming from the dark sky, violently rotating in contact with both the surface of the earth.
The state of the Earth now is like it will meet its ends, no sign of life on his field of vision.
All because of one organization, or specifically, one being. A being that can absorb all the life form of a planet.
Right now, that being is coming to this planet. A planet who many people call Earth.
He watched as the being emerged from the dark sky and down slowly towards where he was standing.
Just one question that he can uttered.
"Is this the end of the world?"
After he said that, the being began changing form then envelop the whole planet, the world began to lose its life, changing to a dead planet.
(Normal P.O.V.)
*SMACK*
"Ouch!" yelled a blue haired teenager. Immediately awake from his slumber.
"Kaito Shion, do you find my lesson is boring so that can make you sleeping?" asked a brown haired woman, Meiko Sakine, the homeroom teacher of class 2-B.
The blue haired teen, Kaito, now fully awake. He then rubbed his forehead who had just been hit with chalk courtesy from his brown haired teacher, "N-no Meiko-sensei!"
"Then can you please answer the question written on this board?" she asked.
Kaito looked at the question, "Erm… I'm sorry sensei. I don't know the answer." He answered sheepishly. And that answer makes him get another chalk to his forehead.
"Next time, pay attention and don't fall asleep on my lesson understand?"
"Yes, Meiko-sensei…"
With that, the lesson continued until school's bell rang, sign that the school is over.
(Afterschool)
We found Kaito with his five friends walk out from the school yard along with the other students.
"Ugh… I don't know that Meiko-sensei can throw chalk that hard…" groaned Kaito while rubbing his forehead.
"That's what you got because you're sleeping in class Kaito-nii." Said a younger boy with a blond hair while eating a banana.
"Said the one who also sleeping in class while there's history lessons…" muttered a younger girl; also have a blond hair and wearing a white headband and ribbon on it.
"That's because Kiyoteru-sensei lessons is boring, Rin!" whined the blond haired boy to the blond girl who named Rin.
"*Sigh* Len… if you not serious about studying, you will be held back a year." Rin Kagamine said to the boy named Len, "Listen to your big sister for once, Len."
"Hey! We're twins! And our age is same! What made you became my big sister?" yelled Len Kagamine.
Rin looked at Len with smirk, then winked at him cutely "That's because I'm five second older than you, Len."
"Why you always say that, Rin!"
"That true isn't it?"
Kaito ignored the twin's conversation. His mind driven back to his dream in his sleep before rudely awakened by a throwing chalk that hit his forehead from Meiko-sensei.
"Again with that dream. It seems so real… but why I said 'Is this the end of the world?' And what is that being? Just what's with that dream?"
"-kun? Kaito-kun?"
Kaito snapped from his own though to reality, he looked to his right, and find a teal colored hair girl, which her hair tied in twintails, looking at him,her eyes showing concern, "Oh, Miku, did you say something?"
The girl named Miku Hatsune still looking at Kaito with concern showed on her face, "Kaito-kun, are you alright?" she asked, "You've been spacing out a lot more than usual, is something happened?"
"Yes Miku, I'm alright. And no, nothing happened except Meiko-sensei throwing a piece of chalk to my forehead." The blue haired teen replied.
"Really?" Miku asked, frowning while tilting her head to the side as she looked at Kaito closely, making him blushing slightly.
"Y-yes Miku, I'm really alright!" Kaito stuttered, "Oh god, why does she look so cute!" he added mentally, "I'm just thinking about life's problem, that's all"
"Like what?" she still unconvinced.
"Umm…" Kaito think for a reason, "Like what I heard on TV." He suddenly said, "They say that the planet that we live on is already done for… Thanks to all that toxic gas that humans made, the earth is becoming way hotter… One day the ocean will overflow and drown every land of this planet. Mankind hasn't been able to end wars or stop making nuclear weapons… Every fifteen minutes, someone commit suicide on Japan…" he paused and looking at the clear sky, then continue, "Somehow, large numbers of people mysteriously go missing all over the country… And just three years ago, there was a really high chance that a meteor would collide into earth… And we worry as to whether we'd received our pension or not." Kaito stopped walking, while closing his eyes "But… I just don't care… I can't tell anything about my future anyway. As long as I'm alive, that's all I need…"
Kaito then opened his eyes, and looking to his friends. Only to receiving a bewildered stare from his friend.
"Wh-what?" he feel uncomfortable being stared like that, "Why are you guys staring at me like that?"
"Whoa… that so deep though Kaito…" His best friend, the one who have purple hair and tied in ponytail, Gakupo Kamui, answered him.
"Indeed… that was interesting way of thinking, Kaito-san." Luka Megurine, who has pink hair also agreed with Gakupo.
"Well, enough about that," an embarrassed Kaito tried to change the topic, "So, what are you trying to say before, Miku?"
Miku, who seemingly accept the reason from Kaito is reasonable enough, answered him, "I heard from our other classmate that there are a new café opened in the city, we should try going there!" she answered excitedly.
"Is everyone going too?" Kaito asked his friend.
"Of course! We want to check if there a banana cake in there!" Len said enthusiastically.
"And Orange juice too!" Rin added.
"I hope there some cooked eggplants in there." Gakupo said while drooling slightly.
"I wonder if they have some grilled tuna in there…" Luka pondered.
Everyone who heard Luka comment sweat dropped, there's no way a café providing such foods. That is not a fish restaurant.
"Well, if they also sell some Ice Cream, I'm going too." Said Kaito.
"Then it's decided! We are going there right now! Leek juice! Here I come!"
The six groups of friends then go to the new café while talking about various stuff.
(That night)
"Crap! I'm going to be late!" shouted Kaito as he ran through the park toward his apartment building across the park, "If I don't get home fast, Kaiko-nee is gonna beat me black and blue!"
As he was near a payphone box, suddenly…
RIIIRIIIRIIIIING
"Huh?" he stopped running and turned toward the source of the ringing noise.
RIIIRIIIRIIIIING
"…The payphone's ringing…?" He then walking to payphone box and opened the door, "Well, it's just a payphone. I mean, if you know the number you can call it from anywhere." He mumbled to himself. "Should I answer it?" Kaito pondered, "…I guess I will."
The blue haired teen picked up the phone and answering it, "Hello? Hello-o? Who is it?" and the answer made him surprised.
"Hello? Hello-o? Who is it?" replied the other side of the phone with his voice, his own VOICE.
"What the…" he then sensed a presence from the top, out from the payphone box, he then looked on it.
What he saw was an unknown figure crouched dressed in white winter cloaks, wearing a strange silver helmet that covered its face, wearing a pair of metallic glove as its right hand holding a cellphone. It's appeared to be floating above the payphone box.
"W-WHO ARE YOU?!" Shouted Kaito with pure shock.
The unknown figure ignored him as it closed the cellphone. And then it's standing up from its crouching position but still hovering above the payphone box. Then appears white smoke that surround the figure until covered it's entire body. When the smokes disappear, the unknown figure is also disappearing. Leaving a shocked Kaito by himself.
"G-gone… It's gone!" said Kaito, sweat rolling from his temple, not believing about what he had just seen, "Hgh! I was just seeing things!" he then rubbed both of his eyes with his hand, "Yeah, I'm just tired anyway!"
PIPIPI
There sound come out from the payphone. Making Kaito suddenly jumped from pure shock.
PIPIPI
"…? This isn't a hallucination?" he asked himself as he looked at the payphone box.
Kaito then braced himself to enter into the payphone box again. In there, he found a calling card sticking out from the slot of the payphone.
"Someone left their calling card?" Kaito looked at it curiously, "Was this even here just a moment ago?" he then picked up the card and examine it. The card itself colored red with a strange symbol on it, there a word 'PSYREN' with white horizontal line. There also black color on the upper left.
"Huh? Psyren?" he read it, but then he realized that it's already late, "OH! No way! It's only three minutes to curfew!... Give me a break…" he then pocketing the card while running toward his apartment with full speed.
(Next morning - School)
"Yo, what's with the long face, Kaito?" Gakupo asked him when they entered school entrance.
Kaito looked at his purple haired friend with listless expression clear on his face, "Kaiko-nee lectured me for like three hours because I'm late coming home yesterday."
"Whoa! She may be a beauty but she's scary as hell, huh?" Gakupo said with a smile.
Kaito shrugged, "You can say that."
The two friends then walked toward their classroom while chatting.
"Kaito-kun!" called someone from their class as the two of them entered the classroom.
Kaito looked toward the person who calling his name, "Oh. Morning, Miku." He greeted her with smile.
"Good morning, too, Kaito-kun!" Miku greeted back.
"Good morning, Kaito-san, Gakupo-san." Luka also greeted them from her seat on the right side from Miku.
"Goo-" before Kaito finished his greeting, Gakupo chimes in.
"Good morning Luka-sama. You look beautiful today." Gakupo greeted with a charming smile, of course with prince-like style.
"Thank you Gakupo-san, you also look beautiful." Luka answered while smiling sweetly.
"Erm, beautiful?" he asked her. He is a man, why she called him beautiful.
Luka looked at Gakupo with fake innocent expression clear on her face, "Of course, aren't you a girl Gakupo-san? With that long purple hair tied in ponytail." She said, emphasizing the words long, tied, and ponytail.
Gakupo pride as a man immediately shattered to pieces after hearing that from the girl he has crush on, and walked limply to his own seat then sat down in it, sulking.
Kaito and Miku only sweat dropped, while Luka giggling mischievously.
Ignoring Gakupo, Miku remembered something, and then she reached into her bag and picking up something. "Kaito-kun." She called him.
"Yes?"
"Here, give me your hand." Miku told him.
Curious, Kaito held out his hand to Miku, in return, she giving something to him. "A keychain?" he looked at it, the shape of keychain is look like miniature of blue ice cream cone.
"Yep!" she then held out another keychain, this time the shape is a green leek miniature. "This is mine!" she told him happily.
"But why?"
"Well… it's because you seems pretty down lately, and also you always look like you daydreaming while lesson is taking a place." Miku said shyly, "That's why I think giving you a little present at least cheer you up. Are you not like it?"
Kaito looking at her with a surprised face, but then turned into happy expression, "So she trying to cheer me up huh, she is really a good girl." He said in his mind. "What are you saying; of course I love it. Because it's a present from you, thank you Miku." Kaito said, smiling to her.
For Miku, Kaito's smile is dazzling. And seeing him smile like that made her heart race, as her face began heat up, "Y-you're welcome K-Kaito-kun! I'm glad you like it." She stuttered out.
"Well, I'm going back to my seat, later you two." Kaito said to them and walking to his seat on Gakupo's side. He then sat up on his seat. Looking at the keychain, Kaito couldn't help but feeling happy. Pocketing it to the uniform pocket, he looked to outside windows, "Hey Gakupo." He suddenly said, "Don't you think it's a blessing to be alive? Just take a look at that gorgeous morning sun."
"Shut up, Kaito. My pride as a man is gone forever because of my long hair." Gakupo said while buried his face with both of his arms on top of his desk.
Before Kaito could reply, the classroom door opened, gaining Kaito and Gakupo's attention.
"Oh it's her highness." Gakupo said as he gazing his head up, "She actually came to school…"
Kaito's other classmate, Miki Saifune, A red haired girl with ahoge that look like number 2. Everyone calls her the 'Ice Queen'. Miki always reading some book, she doesn't have a single friend. Not even half of the class has talked to her once. It goes back when she got into school, sometime in the beginning of April. People still talk about what she said to the girls who approached her, "Could you leave me alone until graduation, please?" she said to them, "Psyren is coming… And when it does… neither you nor I will be able to stop him. Until then you had better enjoy your pointless youth to the fullest." She also said the same thing before as Miku and Luka asked her to become their friends again like in their childhood time. Yes, she is Miku and Luka childhood friend. Both of them say that she is very bright, intelligent, and very popular when she was younger. But now she is like a different person. Conclusion; Miki Saifune is an untouchable girl, the most cruel and distant. That's what everyone arrived at to describe her place in their class.
Kaito and Gakupo watch her as she sit on her seat and opened a book and begin reading it.
(Afternoon – After School)
"You guys go ahead; I'll catch up to you guys later." Kaito said to his five friends.
"Where are you going, Kaito-nii?" asked Rin.
"Toilet…" he replied simply as he rushing toward restroom.
After finishing the nature call in the toilet, Kaito walked toward his classroom to get his school bag, on the way to his destination, he see his two other female classmate, Neru Akita and Teto Kasane, the two school's bully, are dumping something to the school's landfills.
"What are they doing?" Kaito thought.
"Hey what do you think she'll do?" he heard Neru asked Teto.
"Probably keep searching late into the night!" Teto replied as both of them giggling and running from there.
After both of them gone from Kaito sight, he then approached the pile of garbage and looking for something that both of them had thrown away. Then found it.
"What's this about?" what he found in there is a small white wallet with red ribbon attached on it. He then opens the wallet to look for the identities of the wallet's owner. After found the student ID, he looked to the photo of the owner.
"Miki Saifune…" he muttered as he looked at the photo. Then he found another thing inside the wallet that caught his attention, "…This calling card is…!"
(Inside Class 2-B)
Miki Saifune is looking something in her school bag, when she not found what she's looking for; a panicked expression could be seen on her face.
"Miki-san…" a sudden male voice startling her, turning around she meet with no other than Kaito Shion, "I believe this is yours?" he said as he showed her a familiar wallet in his hand.
After realized that wallet is hers, she snatched the wallet from Kaito's hand then turned her body around.
"Fine. Don't say thanks." Kaito said as he sweat dropped, "The wallet… I found it on the ground. Uh, I mean-"
"I know, it happens all the time." She said, still not facing him, "Thanks…"
Kaito looked at her, then he turned to walking to his desk and pick up his school bag, "…Yeah, no problem." As he picking it up, he remembered something, "By the way, I couldn't help but notice that red calling card you got."
Hearing that, Miki froze on her track.
"It's the same with-"
"Calling card?" she cut him off before Kaito finished his sentence, "What are you talking about?" Miki turned to look at Kaito with cold expressions, "I don't have anything like that! Quit joking around, Kaito Shion!" she told him coldly, making Kaito widening his eyes, "Listen… There are tons of things you're better off not knowing in this world." With the same cold look, she continue, "If you're too curious then-"
Miki not continuing her words as if like she interrupted by something. She then looked around, like she is hearing something, "Ch…Not now!" she muttered, cold sweat appeared on her face, and then she walked out from the classroom.
"Hey! Where are you going?" Kaito asked her as he watched Miki out from the classroom and he walked to the classroom's door.
"Don't follow me!" Miki told him without turning back as she walked in the hallway.
Kaito watched her back, "If there's anything bothering you, feel free to ask me or my friends anytime! I'll hear you out your problem!" he shouted, making her stopped walking,
As Kaito turning back to the classroom, Miki muttered, "S… Save us…"
"Huh?" Kaito then went back to look at her in the hallway, but he not seeing anyone in there, "I was sure. Miki-san had said something…"
And ever since that day, Miki Saifune has been missing.
All sort of rumors went around school about her. Like, her parents joined some cult religion, there was violence at home, the yakuza came to collect their debts and so on. Everyone made up their own rumors about Miki, who always came to school all bruised up. Except Miku and Luka, who worried about her wellbeing and wondering where is she now.
(Four days later – Classroom)
The classroom was noisy. Nearly the entire student in the class gossiping about the disappearance of Miki Saifune. Miku and Luka trying to ignore about the rumors, but Kaito know it, deep down in their heart, both of them actually worried about her.
"Psyren is coming… I guess." Gakupo speak suddenly from his seat.
Hearing that Kaito snapped his attention to Gakupo, "Hey! What did you just say?!" Kaito rose from his seat and approached Gakupo, "Who is Psyren?! What does it mean?! And how do you know about it?!" he asked his purple haired friend with a barrage of questions.
"Wah!? Geez, Kaito , don't surprised me like that " Gakupo said to him.
Kaito then putting his friend into a headlock, "Just answer me!"
"M-Miki-chan said it! You know, when Luka-sama and Miku-chan went to talk her about becoming their friend again?" Gakupo answered while gasping for oxygen, "Y-you heard it too! Now let go of me!"
Miku and Luka suddenly approached them, "Don't tell me that you two also talking about Miki-chan disappearance?" Miku said with sad expression.
Gakupo and Kaito looked at her as Kaito letting Gakupo off, "No. We're just talking about Psyren. Do you guys know anything about it?"
Miku sighed in relief that his friends not gossiping about her childhood friends, but then but then looked at them with wonder, "Psyren? You mean that urban myth?" she asked them, "Something like the Secret Society of Psyren?"
"Urban Myth?" said Kaito.
"The secret society of Psyren?" said Gakupo.
"There's a rumour flying around the net lately. It's some secret society that gathers those sick of our society and lead them to 'paradise'" Luka told them, "One after another, people are going missing in different parts of the country. Police all over the nation can't figure out why."
Miku then continued, "The rumor is that this society maybe to blame for these cases." She told them, "We don't know anything more than that, why didn't you two go and ask Mayu-chan from Occult Club?"
(Afterschool – Occult Clubroom)
Without further ado, Kaito and Gakupo going to the Occult Clubroom after school were over. They told Miku, Luka, Rin and Len to going ahead without them.
Now, both of them are inside the clubroom to speak with the president of the Occult Club. Mayu Okumura.
"You two better give up on pursuing the secret society of Psyren, Kaito-kun, Gakupo-kun." She told them nonchalantly. "Whenever an amateur dabbles in this stuff… They lose their life!"
Kaito and Gakupo looked at each other then looked at Mayu, and then sit down on the chair. "Tell us more."
Hearing that, Mayu only grinned, "I'm sure you two know of the random disappearances all over the news, right."
Kaito and Gakupo nodded their head.
"They've been calling it 'Spirited Away'. All sorts of average, everyday people just go missing without a trace." She telling them, "The majority of the victims have nothing in common. And without a lead the police can't do a thing. But during all of this, a rumor has been spreading like crazy over the net…"
"'The one behind those spirited away is the Psyren secret society!' or 'Their leader is the mysterious Nemesis Q!'" she quoted.
"Nemesis… Q?" Kaito muttered, with a bead of sweat on his face.
Mayu closed her eyes and placing her hand on her cheeks, "What I'm about to tell you two is just one theory I've gathered from the net, but…"
"But?" Gakupo asked. It's seemed he interested about this.
Mayu opened her eyes again and face them, "No one knows what Psyren's leader, Nemesis Q, looks like. He can appear anywhere. He dissappear into a cloud of smoke after leaving red calling card behind to humans searching for paradise, which ultimately leads them to Psyren." Mayu paused as she rose up from her seat and walked to the window, "In fact, there have been reports that many of those who have gone missing actually possessed this red card!" she then opened the window and looked out from it, "It seems the only way to actually contact Psyren is with that special card… Those who've gone missing have secretly used the card… and were subsequently taken away…"
Kaito and Gakupo still keep silent, then Kaito decided to speak up, "I don't buy it. This kind of urban myth exists everywhere."
Mayu seems ignored Kaito's comment and continued, "But here is the best part…" she then turned to face them while grinning wide, "Someone is offering a prize of five hundred million yen… to anyone who can figure out the truth behind Psyren."
""F-FIVE HUNDRED MILLION!?"" Yelled Kaito and Gakupo as their jaw dropped.
"The person is a famous Millionaire in the occult world, so it seems the offer is real." Mayu then walking back to her seat and sat in there, "Anyway, the prospect of instant wealth set off a huge response. Occult mania swept the nation, engulfing those related to the government, businesses, and even Yakuza… everyone got caught up in the action." She paused to sighed, then continued, "The only real clue to unraveling this mystery is Psyren's red calling card. There's tons of listings all over online auctions. Though, I bet almost ninety nine percent are fake… If you could find a real, unused one… I bet you could make five million alone…"
What had been Mayu said to Kaito and Gakupo leaving both of them speechless.
"But I warn you, I'ts best not to get involved at all. The administrator's sites investigating Psyren's activity all died in various accidents." Mayu warned before both of them sat up and leaving the clubroom, making both of them looked at her, "Their rooms were trashed, their computers stolen… and right before their death, many of them wrote on their blogs that they could tell they were being watched. There are many dangerous members of the underworld aiming for that reward too! Many are paying top yen for any information about Psyren. As long as those cards keep circulating, terrible things are happening!"
Later that evening. Kaito and Gakupo are on the way to their own home from the school, their mind still filled by what Mayu had said to them.
"If you get involved, you'll surely pay for it."
"Psyren… huh…" Kaito muttered as both of them walked on the street, "What do you think, Gakupo?"
"…"
"Gakupo?"
"…" still no answer.
Kaito turned his head to Gakupo, only to find that his friend is holding a familiar red card while he looked at it intensely. His gaze then turned to the shocked Kaito , "Five hundred million yen!" he then grinned stupidly, "Here I come!"
Kaito who seem overcome his shock, asked him, "Where you get that!?"
Still grinned stupidly, Gakupo answered, "It seems someone leaving this card on the payphone near my house two days ago. And I happened to pass by as the card suddenly appears from inside the payphone slot! Lucky me!"
"Are you sure that the real card?"
"Of course, why are you asking?"
Kaito then picking up the same red card from his wallet, and showing it to Gakupo.
"What the!?" Gakupo gaped at him, "Where are you get it!?"
"I also found it in the slot of payphone box on the park near my apartment," He answered truthfully.
"Since when?"
"Umm… at late night after we going to that new café in the city."
Gakupo then immediately look like a person who have lost his spirit, "Then that's mean this card is fake." he then began sulking.
"Well, I think mine is also fake too," Kaito said, "I mean, come on. It's just a myth! There's no such a thing like secret society of Psyren!"
"But what about Mayu-chan stories?"
Kaito shrugged, " Maybe it's just a hoax." He then looked at his watch, "Come on, we better going home. Its already late. I don't want Kaiko-nee beat me because going home so late…" he added that last part in whisper.
(That night - Kaito's apartment)
"PREPARE YOURSELF!" shouted an older blue haired woman as she ready to beating Kaito.
"H-Hold on, Kaiko-nee! GUWAAAAAA!" Kaito tried to defend himself from the incoming attack, but failed miserably as his face get a sucker punch from his older sister, Kaiko Shion.
"Rememeber what I said before, Kaito?" she finally stopped beating Kaito as he sitting in seiza position, while his sister lectured him.
"Coming home before curfew…"
"Then why are you still coming late?" she asked
"It's because I have some important business at school." he answered.
"Is that so? Then why you not call me first?"
"I… Forget…?"
He earning another punch because of his answer. "As punishment because you're late. You're not allowed out for two weeks!"
"Whaaaaat!?"
(Later at the living room)
"Yeouch!" Kaito yelped when he touched his left cheeks that swollen. "I'm her adopted brother and she can't hold back a bit?" he then turned the TV on.
"…and now our continuing report on the disappearances. Authorities are struggling to make headway on the mysterious cases popping up nationwide…" the newscaster announced. Then there's picture of Miki Saifune and Piko Utatane, a young gray haired boy with ahoge shaped like a letter 'P', appear. Under their picture is a words 'WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN'.
"If I remember correctly, Isn't Piko Utatane is Len and Rin's classmate?" Kaito think, "They also said that he also disappear at the same time with Miki-san."
He then turned the TV off, and walks toward his room, as soon as he entered his room, Kaito immediately lay down on the bed. "A secret society that leads people to paradise…" he thought, "The only way to contact Psyren is their red calling card…"
"Save us."
Miki's words before she disappeared was still in Kaito's mind.
"Psyren is no mere urban myth… if you careless, you'll lose your life…"
"Damn it…" Kaito muttered as he rose up from his bed, changing his clothes, then he sneaking out from his room then out from his apartment.
(Late night – Park)
Kaito entered the payphone box on the park where he got his Psyren card for the first time. He then hesitantly put his card into the slot.
"I hope this working, if it don't…"
The card suddenly pulled to the inside of the payphone.
"UWOOOOOOO!" shouted Kaito out of character while beginning to panic, "IT WENT INSIIIIDE! IT TOOK MY CARD, MIKIIIIII-SAAAAAN!"
Beep boop... Beep Boop… Beep Boop…. The payphone began make a sound sign of connected
"Huh?" immediately, he began calming himself down, and then picked up the phone.
"Greetings! Your world is now co-nnec-ted! You reached the Immigration Offices of Psyren!" said a woman voices, but it's just like electronic recording.
"Ah!?"
"We will now commence the imigration examination. Please answer the following question."
"Huh?"
"Each question has two choices. If your answer is yes, please press one. If your answer is no, please press two."
"Just what is this?" Kaito wondered.
"Question1: Are you Japanese older than twelve? Dial yes or no."
"What kind of question is that?" he said while press 1.
"Question 2: Are you worried about the future of your country? Dial yes or no." he press 1.
"Question 3: Have you ever suffered a brain injury or been diagnosed with a serious illness? Dial yes or no." he press 2.

"Question 60:"
"Is this some kind of quiz!?" Kaito though tiredly, "No more…!"
"You feel unsatisfied with high school life? Dial yes or no." 1.
"Question 61: You don't think anything of the future? Dial yes or no." 1.
"Question 62: You have no desire to honor the curfew your family set. Dial yes or no."
At that question, Kaito paused, "Huh?" he then looked at the phone, "Hold up… Why did this thing just ask me like that?"
"Your older sister is acting in place of your mother as your legal guardian even if you're adopted. And you find it annoying. It's only when you give into your rebellious impulse. That you're able to forget about that unexplained feeling of sadness lingering in your heart that you're just an orphan in the beginning." The voice from the phone told him.
With a quick movement, Kaito get out of the payphone box, frowning, he then looking around, "I KNOW YOU'RE WATCHING ME FROM SOMEWHERE! SHOW YOURSELF!" He shouted, "QUIT HIDING IN THE SHADOWS!"
There's no one answered Kaito's shout, he then turned to the dangling phone, "Why does she know all about me!? Even my past and Kaiko-nee too!" he thought.
Walked back to the payphone box, he picked up the phone again. "What with this woman?"
"BASTARD! WHERE THE HELL DID YOU GO!? YOU'RE THE ONE WHO CALLED IN THE FIRST PLACE! QUIT GETTING SMART WITH ME YOU PIECE OF SHIT!" The voice began shouting from the other side of the phone. Making Kaito really shocked, "YOU LITTLE WORM! I WAS DOING THIS FOR YOUR SAKE! FORGET IT! KIDS ARE ALL THE SAME! YOU THINK THAT THE WORLD REVOLVES AROUND'S YOU! YOU BELIEVE THAT YOU CAN DO ANYTHING!"
Being shouted like that Kaito snapped, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, BITCH! GIVE MIKI-SAN BACK RIGHT NOW!" he shouted back, "I'M YAMAHA HIGH'S KAITO SHION! SECRET SOCIETY MY ASS! YOU'RE JUST A BUNCH OF FRIGGIN KIDNAPPERS!"
The voice then fell silent after Kaito outburst, "…uh oh…" he mumbled, and then put his ear on the phone.
"Question 63: Would you go to 'PSYREN'? Dial yes or no." the voice coming back, this time not shouting, but rather with the same tone she used when giving Kaito question.
After hearing that, Kaito clenching his fist and his hand shaking with anger.
"Hey-hey, wanna come or not?" the voice mocked, "Yes or no."
Kaito fell silent, but then laughing darkly, "…kukuku… trying to make a fool of me…!?" He suddenly pressing number 2 button furiously. After that he began leave out from the payphone box, slamming the door in the process, "I'll catch you by the tail… using my own method! Psyren!" He muttered darkly as he clenches his Psyren's red card tightly.
Unknown to him, in the payphone box, the voice was still on, "Examination complete. We will contact you regarding the results…"
(The next day - Kaito's Apartment)
"See you later!"
"Hold it, Kaito!" his sister tried to questioning him, "Exactly where did you go last night?!"
"I was sleeping!" Kaito lied to her, "Trust your younger brother for once!" he said with smile as he running toward his school.
At the park near Kaito's apartment. At the payphone box, precisely. There are two suspicious men around the payphone box, one is small and the other one is fat. The small man appeared to be… sniffing (?) inside the payphone and fumbling the phone while the other man seemed reading something from a note.
"This is the place, without a doubt, Usui-san." Spoke up the one who reading notes.
The one who inside the payphone box begin speaking like clairvoyance who reading a future, "I can see… it… a kid… high school student… calling on this phone… he's not to bright…" he continued his reading, "What's this 'shut the fuck up bitch!'... 'I'm Yamaha High's… Kaito Shion!'… I see… fufufu…" the man named Usui then out from the inside of payphone box while panting, "To the high school, Miyake!" he told the fat one.
"Good work, sir."
"A complete novice dares to cast his hand at Psyren…" Usui said as they leaving the park area, "We will teach him a lesson he won't forget!… kukuku…" he laughed.
(At school – Staff office)
Len just running and errand from his homeroom teacher, when he passing the staff office, he saw someone wearing an eye patch on his right eye and wear a white coat, holding a police badge, and speak to the teacher there.
"Good day." Usui said, "I'm with the police…"
"I-investigation?" a teacher asked him, "Has one of our students done something?"
Usui shook his head, "No, no. we just need to have a brief word with one of them…" he said to the teacher, "Can we see a copy of your enlisted students with pictures?"
Meanwhile on class 2-B, its Kaito and Gakupo turn cleaning the classroom when they heard announcement from the school speaker.
"Kaito Shion from class 2-B… Report to the Principal's office at once! Kaito Shion, Report to the Principal's office at once!"
"Huh?" Kaito stopped sweeping the classroom floor after heard that his name was called.
"Seems bad…" Gakupo also stopped cleaning the windows, "What are you doing this time, Kaito?" he ask him.
"I don't know." Kaito answered, "I mean, I'm not recall doing anything that breaking the school rules."
Some random student shouted from outside the classroom, "Hey everybody, come check it out! There are Cops in the Principal's Office!"
"Cops…?" Gakupo asked nobody in particular, "What do they want?"
As Kaito was about to leave the classroom, Len appeared and stopped him.
"Kaito-nii!" Len called.
"Oh, Len! Sorry I've been called, if you want something, meet me later."
"That's not what I'm here!" Len telling him, "Those two aren't Cops!"
"Huh, what do you mean?"
Len smirking, "I've seen plenty of police notepads and medals since me and Rin was little," He said to him, "And I can tell you that theirs was a well- made fake!"
"Then wha-" Kaito stopped, remembering what Mayu tell him and Gakupo yesterday, "There are many dangerous members of the underworld aiming for that reward too! Many are paying top yen for any information about Psyren. As long as those cards keep circulating, terrible things are happening!"
"I see…" Kaito mumbled to himself, he then looked at Gakupo, "Gakupo, remember what Mayu-san has said to us yesterday?"
"What Mayu-chan has…" Gakupo looked thinking for a while, and then it hit him "OH! Damn! How they found out about the calling card!?"
"I don't know. But I'm gonna run while I still have time!" he said to them and began jumping out from the open window then running as fast as he can.
"Hey, I'm coming with you!" Gakupo shouted as he too, jumped from the window and run to catch up with him.
"Huh? Why are you following me?" Kaito said to Gakupo.
"Did you forget already? I'm also having the card too!" he replied, "Mayu-chan's rumors were right!"
"Two suspicious guys disguised as Cops… Everyone who get involved with Psyren ends up paying for it!" said Kaito while running, "But how the heck did they find out about us?"
As they running on the field, they meet with Miku, Luka, and Rin. "Hey Kaito-kun, Gakupo-kun, what's with that announcement? Are you breaking the school rules?" Miku said to them.
"Sorry, Miku! Not now! We were in a hurry!" Kaito shouted to them as they running past the three girls.
"But the Principal's office is not that way!"
The two friends just ignored them, and then stopped running and began climbing the school fence.
When they got down from the fence, Kaito and Gakupo surprised that the two fake Cops already waiting for them.
"And where might you be off to, Kaito Shion-kun, Gakupo Kamui-kun?" Usui asked them while smiling evilly.
Kaito and Gakupo then put up a fight stance, ready to fight, "Got some kind of business with us? Mr. Wannabe Cops?" Gakupo told them.
"This will be over quick." Usui telling them, "We'd like you to hand over that red calling card you two got. We promise not to hurt you."
"I wonder what you're talking about." Kaito eyeing the man cautiously.
Usui snort, "Don't play dumb with us. We know. We've been tapping every single public phone line in the entire district.."
Gakupo frowned, "So you're the dangerous guys aiming to cash in the cards…"
"Cash? Hehehe…" Usui laughed slightly, "A simple kid like you has no idea of that card's true value!"
With that said, the fat guy named Miyake throwing a punch to Kaito, he defended it with crossing his arms, but as the punch connected to Kaito, making him skidded a few meters behind.
"He's strong!" Kaito though, rubbing his sore arms, "Definitely a seasoned fighter!"
"Kaito! GAAHHH!" Gakupo try to help his friend, only to be zapped by a stunt gun from Usui made him fall down.
"Gakupo! Damn you!" Kaito rushed toward Gakupo, only to be punched on the stomach by Miyake and made him fall to the ground.
"The two of us are pros." Usui told them, " You shouldn't have underestimate us… You two know nothing about the card's true power… nor the true meaning of Psyren." He then smirked evilly, "Psyren is no secret society … It's an even greater notion! IT'S AN ENTIRE WORLD…"
Kaito and Gakupo, who still lying on the ground, not saying anything.
"Search their pockets, Miyake…" Usui commanded him, "We need that card before it 'Awakens'!"
Before Miyake have an opportunity to do it, Kaito suddenly jolted up and kneed Miyake on the stomach with full power. Making him falling to the ground, clutching his stomach.
"Miyake!?" Usui shouted and readied his stunt gun, only to be kicked by Gakupo's foot. Making him dropping the stunt gun. But Usui still have another weapon that he picked up from his coat, and sprayed the pepper spray to Gakupo's eyes.
"GAAAAH!" Gakupo screamed.
"Kukuku!" Usui was about to punch Gakupo, only to be punched on the face by Kaito, unfortunally for him, at the same time, Usui also sprayed Kaito's eyes with the spray.
"Ugh…" Usui then rise up from the ground, "They ran away! After them, now!"
(Inside the alleyway)
"Dammit!" Kaito cursed, "My eyes!"
"Ugh! Just who the hell are they!?" asked Gakupo as he clutching his eyes area that had been sprayed.
PIPIPIPIPIPI
There are voices of phone ringing.
"Huh!?"
"FIND THOSE KIDS QUICK!" Usui yelled to Miyake, "THE CARD IS AWAKENING!"
"A phone?" Kaito mumbled.
"Where's it coming from?" Gakupo wondered, "It's getting louder and louder…"
PIPIPIPIPIPI
"Oh yeah, our cell…" Kaito suddenly said, "We can call for help!" he picked his cellphone from his pocket, " Miku! Len! Dammit, I can't see a thing!"
"I also can't see a thing!" Gakupo yelled, "We cannot call anyone with our eyes like this!"
PIPIPIPIPIPI
"Shit! Stop ringing already!" shouted Kaito.
"What the hell!? Dammit!" Gakupo also shouted.
PIPIPIPIPIPI
The voice getting louder and louder.
Miyake then found both Kaito and Gakupo on the alley, "FOUND THEM!"
Usui, who heard Miyake immediately running toward them.
PIPIPIPIPIPI
""HELLO?! ANYONE!?"" shouted both Kaito and Gakupo as they placing their cellphone to their own ears, ""I DON'T CARE WHO! JUST PICK UP THE DAMN PHONE!"
PIPIPIPIPIPI
The moment they place their cellphone to their ears, the same white figure wearing winter cloaks that Kaito sees when he receiving his Psyren calling card, appeared above them. It also holding a cellphone.
What happens when it placed it cellphone to its strange metallic helmet is, instantaneous silence.
Kaito and Gakupo then slowly opened their eyes. And looked at their surroundings. They're not in the alley any more.
"What…" Kaito said.
"…The hell is this!?" Gakupo continued Kaito's words.
Before their own eyes lies a vast wasteland.
Turns out they hadn't placed a call back then, they had actually answered one… a call coming from Psyren's one and only 'Mysterious Nemesis Q' itself.
This marked the start of the game they had bet their life on… Psyren… the other world.
Then a voice from their cellphone can be heard by the two of them.
"Your world is now. Co-nnec-ted."
