A boy named Neku Sakuraba is walking through Shibuya. And he began to shout at People
Neku: Out of my face! Your blocking my view! Shut up! Stop talking, just go the Hell away!
Neku: (narrating) All the world needs me. I got my values... So you can keep yours, alright?
He put on his headphones
Neku: (narrating) I don't get people. Never have, never will.
Meanwhile
A Blue Cat with black Stripes in Red Lanterns Outfit named Dex-Starr is hissing at People to make them avoid him
Dex-Starr: (narrating) Everyone needs a hero... But for me... I'm not one of them... I don't need friends, companions or Allies. I only work... Alone.
Moments Later

Then Neku's phone is beeping
Neku: Huh? Whose phone? Mine?
He look at his message on his phone

He deleted it, but it doesn't work
Neku: Huh? Still there... It's like the junk mail from Hell.
Back to Dex-Starr

Dex-Starr: (Gasp)
Dex-Starr's Though: I am hearing their Thoughts?
He look at the Collar on him

Dex-Starr: What? I can't delete? What's wrong with this.
Then Neku felt a Flinches and Dex-Starr felt an Impact on his Arm.

? 2: Stop whining. We haven't had work in, like, forever.
?: Exactly. It feel like the Monday after Vacation.

Back to Neku and Dex-Starr
They made it to Hachiko Statue
Neku: (Panting) Should be... Safe... Here... (Panting) I think we got away from them.
Dex-Starr: (Panting) Good riddance.
Neku: Anyway, who are you? And why did we get chain up?
Dex-Starr: I don't know, I was about to say the thing to you.
Neku: Anyway, I don't want to be with you. We have to get rid of these chains.
Dex-Starr: Yeah. I don't stick with you.
He's going to destroy it, but it electrocuted him
Dex-Starr: (Scream)
Neku: What now?
Dex-Starr: Those chain. It electrocuted me.
Neku: What? So that means...
Dex-Starr: Yes. That's we're stuck together.
And that makes them frustrating
Neku: Damn it! I don't want to stick around with a floating cat.
Dex-Starr: And I don't want to stick with a Headphone boy.
Neku: (Sigh) Look, we don't know what's going on. But we need to find a way to get rid of chain and figured out what's going on. Once we do that, we go our separate ways.
Dex-Starr: Tch, Fine.
Then the Frog has appeared
Dex-Starr: Not again!
Neku: Rrgh... Freakin' Frogs! Just leave us alone! We didn't do anything to you!
Then they heard screaming and they saw the Noise erased the Player and their Animal Companions
Dex-Starr: Huh!?
Neku: They Vanished! Why are people disappearing!? What's happening... Why am I even here? What the hell!
Dex-Starr: I don't understand! What's going on!?
Then more Noise attacked them
Neku: They're gonna get us...
?: Found them!
? 2: Oh no, not him.
Both: Huh?
They saw a Girl named Shiki with a Squirrel who dress up as green Lantern named B'dg
Shiki: You! Forge a pact with me!
B'dg: And you cat! Forge with me too!
Dex-Starr: What? You're from Green Lantern Corp? Why would I forge with you?
Neku: Uhh... I've kinda got my hands full...
B'dg: Look I know you're enemies to the Green Lantern, But we have no Choice!
Shiki: Listen! If we forge a pact, we can beat the Noise!
Dex-Starr: There's no way, I'm teaming up with a Green Lantern!
Neku: Who cares about a little noise?
B'dg: If you don't forge a Pact with me, then you'll get erased from them!
Shiki: He's right! You wanna be erased? Hurry up! There's no time! Make a pact with us! Please!
Dex-Starr: (Grunt) Fine!
Neku: A-all right! I accept!
They forge a pact, then a fusion sequence with glowing lights
Dex-Starr: What the?
Neku: What's with the Light show?
B'dg: Take this!

Neku: But... The funny lights...
B'dg: We'll explain later. (He bring out his ray gun) Right now we have to stop the Noise!
Dex-Starr: Um... Sure.
Neku: Uhh... OK?
Shiki & B'dg: Get ready!
They are fighting the noise with two pins the Lightbolt and Fire, and they finish them, Neku and Dex-Starr look so shocked
Dex-Starr: This sword and that lighting bolt... I did this?!
Neku: That Fire... I did that!?
Shiki: Whoa! You can use those pins? You two must be good at Psychs. Guess I found a Right Partner and Companion.
B'dg: (Bored) Except for me, why does it have to be him. (look at Dex-Starr)
Dex-Starr: What's that supposed to mean, B'dg.
Shiki: Whoa, you know each other?
B'dg: Yes. He's from the Red Lantern who was an Enemies to the Green Lantern like me.
Shiki: Really? So, is that blue cat a pet to-
B'dg: No, he's not.
Neku: Are you-
B'dg: No! I'm not her pet, Phone!
Neku: Phone?
B'dg: I was referred to your headphones.
Neku: Oh. So about that Psychs. That's what you call those flames and lighting bolt? A Psych?
Shiki: Yep. And now that we've made a pact, the Noise won't come after us!
Dex-Starr: So you're saying, we're safe from them?
B'dg: Exactly. See? All gone.
Neku: All gone. So... What are noise?
Shiki: They're those monsters we just fought. Duh.
Neku's Though: Monster? Uh, sure... And "Psychs"?
He look at the Fire Pin
Neku's Though: Is that what this pin is for?
Shiki: Anyway, where are my manners? My name is Shiki Misaki. Call me Shiki.
B'dg: And I'm B'dg, Phone. A Member of the Green Lantern.
Dex-Starr: No one cares about you.
Neku: I call this Wack.
Shiki: We've got a long week ahead of us.
Dex-Starr: What? What kind of Week?
B'dg: The Reaper's Game is Seven days long, right?
Dex-Starr's Though: Reaper's? Are you kidding me? Why is he here with this Flake?
Shiki: So what's you're names?
Neku's Though: Forget them... Where am I? How did I get here?
B'dg: Come on, tell us your name.
Dex-Starr's Though: The Sign says "Shibuya Station"... Why am I here in Shibuya? I was supposed to be in Metropolis.
Shiki: Something wrong, you two?
Neku's Though: Wait... The intersection. The cat and I just need to retrace our steps.
He and Dex-Starr left
B'dg: Hey!
Shiki: Hey, whoa... Wait for us!
They went to Scramble Crossing
Dex-Starr: Why are you and that girl following us?
B'dg: Why are you making yourself so hard to follow?
Neku: Screw you, three. I go where I want.
Dex-Starr: I agree with him. I leaving now.
Shiki: Go where? We're trapped in here!
Dex-Starr: What? Don't be Naïve.
B'dg: You're the one being Naïve. We made a pact. We supposed to stick together. And even though, we are Companions to them. We have to work together. You can't beat the noise Alone. You two can't survive.
Neku: Survive what?
Shiki: The Game! Don't you two wanna win!?
Dex-Starr: Tch. Play yourself.
Neku: Play games on your own time.
B'dg: Whoa! Watch it there! They'll erase us if we don't win!
Shiki: You saw what happen to those people! You wanna join them? Besides, we're partners. And the Cat and Squirrel were our Companion. Partners work together and companions help each other.
Dex-Starr: Never! I'm not companion to that boy! And even be partners to a Green Lantern!
Neku: No way! Don't make me a part of this.
B'dg: But you two were already a part of this. You're a player just like us.
Neku: A what? I'm playing anything.
Dex-Starr: Me too.
Shiki: Oh yeah? Then why do you have a Player Pin and Collar?
They show them
B'dg: Don't you have a timer on your arm and hand? We do...
They show them and it's 20:05
Neku: What. The. Hell.
Shiki: See, you're part of the Reapers' Game, too.
Neku and Dex-Starr stay a silent for a moment
B'dg: (Gasp) We don't have much time for this!
Shiki: The Clock's ticking! We've only got 20 Minutes! Let's hurry to Ten-four!
Dex-Starr: "Ten-Four"?
Neku: What's that?
Shiki: Ten-Four! 104? You got the Mail and Message, right? "Reach 104 or face Erasure."
Dex-Starr: That lame Message on my Watch?
Neku: That Junk mail...
Neku's Though: Please. What kind of nut would believe that? Then again... This day has been pretty weird.
Dex-Starr's Though: And they're going to follow me and that boy anyway... Might as well, do it.
Neku's Though: May as well go along and try to figure this out.
Dex-Starr: Fine. I'm in.
Neku: All right, you win. Lead the way?
Shiki: Good? Now, for the last time... Tell me your names.

She walk off, and noticing the wall is gone
Shiki: Huh? Guys, it's gone!
B'dg: Really?!
Neku: What's up with that?
Shiki: No idea. A lucky break, I guess! C'mon, we gotta keep moving.
Dex-Starr seem curious about the Red Hooden Person
Dex-Starr's Though: Something about him...
He look back and found out he's gone
Dex-Starr's Though: What the? He's gone? Strange.
They went off
Shiki: Made it!
Then the Timer on their Arm and Hands are gone
Neku: The Timer Vanished!
Shiki: Whew! Mission Complete.
?: Pfft, Big Deal.
They heard someone
Dex-Starr: Huh! Who's There!?
?: Only an Idiot would screw up on Day 1.
Dex-Starr: Show yourself!
B'dg: Oh boy... A Reaper.
Neku: Reaper?
?: You two are gonna get erased sooner or later. So come on. Help a girl out and earn me a few extra points, 'K?
Then Noise has appeared
Neku: Those Monsters Again...
B'dg: Dex-Starr, Neku. You know how to fight now, right? This time focus your thoughts on me and Shiki!
Dex-Starr: What? Can you just do it on your own and her?!
Shiki: Please! To stop the Noise!
Dex-Starr: Okay... Let's do it!
They are fighting them together and they did it
Shiki: Good! Now we can fight together! We can beat the Noise faster as a team! Let's do it!

Shiki: Not yet, Dex-Starr! Over there!
They saw a Big Noise
Dex-Starr's Though: Whoa... That one look strong... Like I've got a choice.
Neku: Hey, Stalker!
Shiki: I'm not a Stalker!
Neku: Whatever. Just... Don't mess this up!
Shiki: I... I won't!
They are fighting the Noise and they defeated it
Shiki: Whew, we did it. But you heard her... Day 1 is Nothing. What if the missions only get harder?
B'dg: We've got six more days... Are we gonna make it?
Shiki: We... We don't want to be erased...
Dex-Starr and Neku look Traumatized
Dex-Starr's Though: I can't believe this...
Neku's Though: Why am I stuck here?
Dex-Starr's Though: What if I'm Erased?!
Neku's Though: What the hell kind of game is this? This can't be right.
Dex-Starr and Neku's Though: Gaaah! I'm really stuck here? In Shibuya!?
