VIRUS-Vital Information Resources Under Siege

Ok so im really new at this so be nice...anyways here is my first attempt at writing a story. Anyways, my original story did not have the Vocaloid/Utau characters in it, just my own original characters. But I wanted to know if my writing was any good or not so I switched my characters to the Vocaloid characters to post it on here...and because of that the personalities/origins/relationships/anything else of the characters will be a bit different but i'll try to change it to fit as best as I can...so I hope you like it, I hope I can figure this site out because right now I am very confused, and I hope you review my story, thank you and good night :)

(P.S. Tips on anything and everything would be much appreciated!)

Chapter 1 - Len

"Run!" I yelled at my 16 year old twin sister, "Rin! Run and don't look back!"

"But-" She started "But what about-"

"Don't worry about that right now." I told her, "We'll focus on that later when we have a better chance to survive, for now you need to get out of here and get help! I'll hold off this VIRUS as long as I can, but you need to go now!"

"I can't just leave you alone Len! You'll be erased!" she cried, tears brimming in her bright blue eyes.

"I won't if you get back in time! Now go!" I gave her a slight shove in the opposite direction from the oncoming VIRUS. Her gaze caught mine and she had a sad look in her eyes. Then her eyes darted towards the VIRUS and fear consumed her expression. I couldn't let her face this, she was terrified. I caught her gaze again and gave her a smile. She smiled timidly back at me then wrapped her arms around me in the tightest hug her small body could give me. And before I could hug her back she was off, her short blond hair streaming out behind her, as she ran to find our friends for help.

In my mind I felt her thoughts find to mine as our telepathy connected us.

"Please be careful." she said.

"I will..." I thought back to her.

"Promise?" She asked.

"I promise!" I began "You couldn't stand to lose an amazing twin brother like me anyways!" I joked

I felt her thoughts lighten when she heard that. I smiled to myself and realized it was so easy to make her happy.

Suddenly I came to notice the buzzing that was behind me...the buzzing that sounded like a swarm of angry hornets. I turned to look at the VIRUS that was fast approaching me, ready to strike. It looked like a large group of black slithering snakes at first, but as it got closer and closer I saw that they were a bunch of little numbers forming strands that moved like snakes. I felt anger growing inside of me as I thought of how this VIRUS was the cause of all the pain that we had experienced in the past few months. This VIRUS was the thing that had already destroyed many of the programs on our computer, our home. It was also the reason many of our friends had been erased, imprisoned, or under its control.

At first it had seemed to be just a mindless virus destroying everything in its path, but once it hit our animation program it seemed to narrow its focus onto only the program and all of its components. AKA us. We don't know why, but we do know that we have to destroy it fast before every one of us is erased, captured, or taken over. Kill or be killed. As far as we know one person has been erased, four taken over, two captured, and there are six of us still free from the VIRUS's grasp. But who knows how long we can keep it at bay.

I ran at the slithering snake-like numbers with all my might, not knowing what I would actually do once I got to it. I did know, however, that I had to hold it back long enough for Rin to get back with the others. If I didn't my friends would have one less person to fight with and possibly one more person to fight against, if this thing decided I was worth the effort to keep alive.

The VIRUS was now less than 5 steps away. It's buzzing sounded as loud as a jet plane and was twice as terrifying. "No time for stupid fears now!" I yelled at myself. I gritted my teeth and swung my leg in a powerful kick at the numbers. My leg connected with a few of them while the others darted out of the way. Some of the number strands that I hit hard enough had segments of their bodies crushed. Those slumped to the ground dead, others went flying and one particularly large snake shook off the impact of the kick like it was nothing. It then coiled itself around my leg. I tried to shake the thing off but it only clung more tightly. The other numbers that were left followed the big one's lead and coiled around my outstretched leg. I saw that many of those had wrapped themselves around the bottom of my foot so I slammed my foot down, crushing even more of the hellish snakes.

"Where would the others be? Shoot! They were supposed to leave the animation program to look for a backup safe house today...hopefully they haven't left though." I heard Rin asking herself in her head. Her thoughts momentarily distracted me as they filled my head. Rin had a bad tendency to let her thoughts slip away from her and into my head when she was focused on something. I closed off my mind to hers quickly; I couldn't have anything distracting me now. I needed all my senses alert and focused on what was going on around me.

In that short moment of mental commotion, some of the snakes had made their way farther up my body. I tore and clawed at them attempting to get them off of me. I earned a few painful bites on my arms and chest as I drew them off my body and tossed them away from me with as much strength as I could muster. Even though we don't need to eat or drink, use the bathroom, or keep warm to stay alive, us characters made in this animation program still can feel pain, have emotions, and other things like that.

After the numbers that had slithered farther up me were off, I reached for the others that were still wrapped around my leg, but before I could grab even one they all dropped from my leg and retreated a foot or two. The large one hissed a bit at the other snakes, almost like it was giving a command. I took a few steps back from the remaining numbers so they couldn't attack me as well, but then the strings of numbers slowly started to spread out and circle around me.

"Shit!" I yelled at myself in my head "I can't let them close the circle!" I spun around and tried to escape the enclosing snakes because if I didn't it would all be over. But the snake-like numbers had already gotten behind me and were blocking my way. I let my instincts take over my rationalization and I flew at the snakes at full speed. Right before I reached them I pushed off the ground as hard as I could in an attempt to jump over them. Somehow I managed to get over them, but just as my foot touched the ground something wrapped around my ankle and tripped me.

I slammed to the ground hit my head and had the wind knocked out of me. I gasped for breath and looked around dizzily, hardly noticing all the snakes coming over and tying themselves around my arms and legs. They then all went limp like ropes except for the largest one who curled itself around one of the new ropes and started dragging me off in the direction it had come from. The direction opposite of my only hope for help.

Still gasping for breath and trying to stop the world from spinning I tried to establish a mind link with Rin, I brushed against her conscious only to find it blocked off. I tried to reach her again and felt the walls around her mind begin to collapse away, I thought "Help..." to her before something hard hit me in the back of the head and everything went black.
