SO SORRY! I never meant for this to turn out to take this long, but I got distracted for the rest of summer, then school started and I've been obsessed with Death Note I'll probably start writing a Vocaloid songfic series for that soon. I've already got some ideas forming…
By request of randomSWEDISHperson, here is Utopia! I've decided to make it a Saïxene (actually, Isa x Relena/Rel) song. The next one is going to be an AkuDemy (more like Lea x Myde) song with them as brothers.
Len = Isa/Saïx
Rin = Relena/Rel/Larxene
Warning: Possible OOC and AU.
It feels like a new era is approaching,
Because now, I can feel the fresh wind of it blowing softly on my skin.
Nuclear missiles have destroyed
6 billion of the humans.
The city you and I live in is full of people with identical faces.
.::.
Isa stood at the top of a hill overlooking what he formerly knew as Radiant Garden. It was pretty much his personal place to think about the events that turned his home world of Radiant Garden into what remained today, Hollow Bastion. The breeze blew softly on him, possibly signaling a change in pace in his new home.
Not too long ago, there was a swarm of what were now known as Heartless that ravaged the area. The source seemed to come from the castle, and Ansem and his apprentices were nowhere to be found after the first wave of attacks.
Isa sighed. Most of Radiant Garden had been wiped out after the initial attack, and the survivors were now being transferred to indestructible robotic bodies. Now, most of the residents of Hollow Bastion had almost identical faces. He and his girlfriend, Relena (commonly called Rel) were two of the five people who had yet to be transferred.
.::.
Fifty years ago, the UN proposed a new
Human Revival Project, which was shocking to the others.
"Humans are only humans because they possess a soul of their own.
We'll just transfer it to an indestructible body."
Ethics is just something that can be added later, anyway.
.::.
Isa had heard that the Human Revival Project, as the transfer was known, was proposed fifty years before the Heartless attack had happened. There were people saying that humans are humans just because of their souls, and that their souls could easily be transferred to an indestructible body.
"Ethics is just something that can be added later, anyway," he repeated. Everyone who favored the idea kept repeating that line. Most didn't really know what it meant and just went with the project in hopes of a better future.
.::.
If you long for hunger at the end,
Then just don't get hungry.
Because we desire so much,
We're constantly suffering in our pain.
Where is a human's soul?
Is it in the brain or in the heart?
Science will overcome difficulties
In my imaginary Utopia.
.::.
Human bodies have so many inconveniences, he thought as he sat down, the breeze ruffling his sky-blue hair slightly. We get hungry and desire so many things, but our desires only lead to more pain.
The more Isa thought about humans, the more he thought that the transplants were right. People in the robotic bodies will never hunger or desire everything that we currently do. It would be the perfect society. There would be no more wars, no more crimes, none of that sort of thing!
There's only one thing that I don't know, and that's where a human's soul is… he thought, trying to come up with possible locations for the soul. Could it be in a human's mind? Or maybe their soul is in their hearts. Even if I don't know a soul's location, science will be able to locate it and transfer my soul, along with Rel's, into the new bodies.
.::.
Living in flesh is such an inconvenience.
The result of our fight yesterday has
Left a wound that throbs with pain.
Tomorrow, it's our turn to be transferred to the new bodies.
I can have them remove the memory of our fight,
And I'll live in the painless body.
.::.
Meanwhile, Rel was coming up the hill to meet Isa and apologize for their fight yesterday. It was just a childish fight over a video game that Rel had started, and the fight ended up giving pissed-off Rel a bruised elbow. Even today, it still hurt, and it was a constant reminder of how fragile her human body was.
After our transfer tomorrow, she thought, I'll be able to live in a painless body. I can even request that my memory of the fight be removed before I am woken up inside my new body.
As she made it to the top of the hill, Isa noticed Rel and waved to her. "Hey, Rel!" he greeted her, smiling a bit.
Rel gave him a half-smile back. "Hey, Isa," she replied, sitting down next to him and wincing a bit as she accidentally brushed her bruised elbow on Isa's jacket. "Sorry about the fight yesterday. It was childish and unnecessary."
Isa replied, "It's fine, Rel. I know you're just a little more irritable because you're nervous about the surgery tomorrow. I am, too."
Rel's smile grew a bit. "Thanks for understanding, Isa."
.::.
"Please make my face identical to his face," I ask.
When my eyes open, I want to be able to see
The proof that we were together.
Your hand gripped mine tightly,
And I heard the last words you said as a human.
"We'll still be in love with each other when the surgery's over, right?"
"Yeah, I promised to always love y…"
.::.
After saying their goodbyes for the night, Rel and Isa went to their houses to sleep for the last night as human beings.
The next day, at the building where the surgery would take place…
Isa and Rel were guided via various signs though the hallways of the building, which they presumed to be a hospital, to a spacious white room filled with robotic doctors. They were not yet able to see their new bodies, as there were a few last design details to finish, but knew that soon enough, they would be just like the doctors.
The robotic doctors began to secure Isa to a large metal chair inside of a small glass box-room, where the final scans for his new body, and later the actual transfer, would take place. His head, torso, legs, and ankles were secured to the chair so he wouldn't be able to get up no matter how hard he tried, though he had no intentions of getting up. His right wrist was secured to the chair as well. A second chair was next to him on his left just waiting for Rel.
As she was being secured into her chair, with her left wrist being secured, Rel was hoping that her request to have her face look identical, if not similar, to Isa's face had been requested. When she opened her new eyes, she wanted to see proof that she and Isa had been together before the transfer.
Once she and Isa were completely secured in the chairs, the scanners began to start the last minute scans. Rel reached over to Isa's free hand with hers and squeezed it tightly.
As the scans finished, the robotic doctors made the scanning machines spray anesthesia into the glass box-room to make Isa and Rel unconscious for the surgery.
While the two teens were breathing in the anesthetic gas, Rel managed to turn her head the slightest bit to see Isa and asked him, "We'll still be in love when the surgery is over, right Isa?"
Isa made and attempt at nodding and squeezed Rel's hand. "Yeah Rel, I promised to always love y…" Before he could finish his sentence, the anesthesia took effect on both of them, sending them to unconsciousness for the surgery.

My brand-new eardrums pick up
Your voice, which still sounds the same to me.
But I can feel no warmth coming,
So I wonder if something is broken.
But then I realize with my brand-new ears
That this in front of me is not you.
"Please, make her come back!
Please hurry, hurry, please hurry!"
.::.
System XIII
Isa/Saïx
Code VII
Starting awakening sequence…
Isa was slowly brought back into consciousness was the mechanical voice he was now hearing inside his head. He opened his new eyes, blinking a couple of times to adjust to the bright white lights of the white room. It was a different room than the room where the surgery was implemented, but he could see the room clearly through a large glass window (it had white drapes covering it during the surgery).
"Isa?" said a voice that sounded just like Rel's. He looked into the room where their original bodies were. It was there that he saw something that looked like Rel's body, but it wasn't hers at the same time. Instead of being a regular body, or even a robotic one, it was a mangle mess of skin, blood, veins, arteries, muscles, nerves, lymph nodes, and even bones. He could sense no warmth coming from it, causing him to think that something there must be broken and wrong with Rel.
Wait, he thought. That thing there isn't Rel anymore. That's her original body. But where is Rel?
"Doctors! Please, make Rel come back! Please hurry! Hurry, hurry, hurry, PLEASE HURRY!" he yelled.
"Isa?! What are you panicking about?" asked Rel's voice again. The new android turned in the direction of the voice to find a young adult female android with shoulder-length blonde hair, two strands sticking up a bit like antennae, and green eyes wearing a hooded black cloak, gloves, and boots. "I'm right here."
Isa just gasped in shock, even though he had no reason to breathe anymore.
.::.
A body what will never decompose
Signals the birth of an ideal humanity.
A soul that cannot cause any wars
Signals the start of a peaceful world.
.::.
"What happened to you, Rel?" he asked after he recovered from his brief moment of shock.
The android in front of him shrugged. "You can't expect us to look exactly the same as we did when we were human, right? We're officially part of System XIII. I'm Larxene, Code XII. Also, you might want to look at yourself in the mirror."
Isa took a moment to register her comment and walked over to the mirror, almost disbelieving what he saw in the mirror. He now had long blue hair that was messy on top, appeared a bit older than Rel, an X-shaped scar-like marking on his face, and gold eyes. Isa also wore the same black cloak, gloves, and boots that Rel – no, Larxene, wore, though less feminine.
"I'm Saïx, Code VII," he replied to the blonde android once he was used to his new face. "How is it that you are Code XII while I'm Code VII?"
Larxene shrugged once again. "I guess there were other transfers going on in this building, and they probably worked completely on you first."
"Makes some sense," said Saïx. "And now we're on our way to a peaceful world. Our bodies will never decompose. Our souls cannot start wars."
"This is the ideal humanity," Larxene replied.
.::.
"What is pain…" "…and suffering?"
"What is tiredness…" "…and blushing?"
"What is cold?" "What is hot?"
"What is love?" "What is peace?"
"What is life…" "…and living?"
"What am I?" "What am I?"
.::.
As Saïx and Larxene drifted off into a daydream, they began to sort through their memories of before the surgery. This caused them to ask themselves multiple questions out loud.
(A/N: Bold is Saïx, underline is Larxene)
"What is pain…" "…and suffering?"
"What is tiredness…" "…and blushing?"
"What is cold?" "What is hot?"
"What is love?" "What is peace?"
"What is life…" "…and living?"
"What am I?" "What am I?"
.::.
The memories of before are now
Nothing but vast amounts of data lost forever
"We can never go back…"
.::.
Once the "What am I?" was uttered, the memories from their humanity were sent back to the countless amounts of data contained in their minds.
"Now that we're androids," started Saïx.
Larxene finished, "We can never go back."
