Note: In this chapter, things are going to get really dark really fast. First off, if you're really squeamish about this sort of thing, I will post a total of 3 warnings to turn back. This is the first one. The second one will be shortly before the big scene begins. And the third and final warning will be right before the scene starts.
1:30 pm
Just as they had planned, the Vocaloids all met together at about 1:30 p.m. for one last runover before the concert. At the same time, Zatsune and Arakawa aka Dark Miku and Dark Rin, were going over their plans one last time before they would attack. They weren't going to stop at attacking Miku and Rin. Oh no, they were going to work on getting the audience into the plan. And this other phase of the plan would be just to show how evil they could be.
"So when we go up on stage to attack our enemy", Dark Miku explained, "You'll press this button on the remote". "Exactly, but what does it do exactly?", Dark Rin asked. "You see, late last night, I've rigged the area around the stage and the audience seats with a very special surprise", Dark Miku told her. "Oh, and what might be this surprise be?", Dark Rin wondered.
"Well, when you push the red button, an electric barrier will appear around the stage, so that the other Vocaloids won't intervene", Dark Miku explained. "That sounds awesome!", Dark Rin exclaimed, "What about the audience?". "When the green button is pushed, a huge ring of fire will erupt around the area of the audience", Dark Miku continued gleefully.
"You mean it will trap them in their seats and force them to watch their heroines be massacred?", Dark Rin asked. "It sure will", Dark Miku continued. "Even those little snot nosed brats in the audience?", Dark Rin asked excitedly. "Oh yeah! Even them", Dark Miku added. "Ah, this is gonna be great!", Dark Rin cheered. "You bet it is, girl!", Dark Miku answered.
"But I have one more question. Why aren't we supposed to attack until after they perform? Why not do it at the start of the concert?", Dark Rin wondered. "Well, obviously we need them together so we can attack", Dark Miku explained to her, "And besides, after an upbeat song like Po Pi Po, it will be even more fun to watch the concert turn into chaos". "Oh, now I see what you mean", Dark Rin answered, "Wait until after they do that song". "We'll have to start moving right before they begin the song", Dark Miku concluded, "That way once they finish, we'll be ready to go".
3:30 pm
So anyway, the concert had begun at 2:15 pm. There were more than 16,000 fans in the park crowded around the stage, much more than the 10,000 they were expecting, and of those, more than 5,000 of them were under age 13. "Really, 16,420 people?", Zatsune asked. "Yeah, I counted myself", Arakawa told her. "And more than 5,000 of those are kids?", Zatsune wondered. "5,212, to be exact", Arakawa answered back. Before now, the concert had gone off without a hitch. Just then, Miku came up on stage.
"So are you guys having a good time?", Miku asked enthusiastically through her microphone. The audience, except for Dark Miku and Dark Rin, cheered loudly to reply. "All right, the next song is called Po Pi Po", Miku called out. "Now I usually do this song on my own. But today, I really needed some help", she continued, "So give a big hand to my best friend, Rin Kagamine!". As soon as Miku finished saying this, Rin came out on stage to a huge welcome from the crowd.
"So Rin, are you ready?", Miku asked. "I sure am, Miku", Rin confirmed. With that, they began singing and the audience began dancing about. This gave Zatsune and Arakawa, who were standing in the front row, their cue to get into position. "All right. This is it", Dark Miku announced as they moved forward. "One last question, though", Dark Rin interrupted, "What will we do about the police?".
"I've got it covered, I made a false report on the phone to bring them to the other side of town", Dark Miku assured, "By the time they find out they've been tricked, it'll be too late for them to help" "Ah, you sneaky little bitch", Dark Rin laughed, "What could be better than that?". "I've cut the phone lines for the park so that no one will be able to rat us out", Dark Miku continued. "Girl, you never cease to amaze me", Dark Rin cheered. Meanwhile, on stage, Miku and Rin were into the English part of PoPiPo.
Let's take it. You're loving it.
"Vegetable Juice".
You must love this drink, I've decided right now.
So drink up, with my true heart.
"Vegetable Juice".
It costs just 2 dollars.
SPIN!
Come on! Come on!
Let's dance!
Come on! Come on!
Let's dance!
Mellow and mellow vegetable juice.
Creamy and creamy vegetable juice.
I guess you should like the best this one.
"Big pale green juice!"
At that moment, the song was nearing its end. At the same time, Dark Miku and Dark Rin had climbed ladders up to where the stagehands were supposed to be, and luckily for them the audience couldn't see them. "You've got your weapons, right?", Zatsune wondered. "Sure do, I got my aluminum baseball bat and my butcher's knife", Arakawa told her. "Well, I got my long metal pipe and my meter long katana", Zatsune continued. "Nice choice of weapons", Arakawa commented.
Po-pi-po-pi-po-po-pi-po
Po-pi-po-pi-po-po-pi-po
Y. A. S. A. I love you so and I love you
With that, the song ended, and the audience erupted in cheers and applause. Miku and Rin took a bow. Suddenly, they along with the rest of the park heard Dark Miku's voice screaming, "HOLD IT RIGHT THERE!". She and Dark Rin then slid down the ropes which dropped down to the stage about 30 feet below. The audience was like "What the hell is going on? Is this part of the show?"
Content Warning: Right now is where things are going to go straight to Hell. The scene that is about to play out is dark in nature, extremely violent, and might be too disturbing for some readers. This scene is where the fanfic really earns it PG-13 rating. Reader discretion is strongly advised.
3:34 pm
"Who are you and what do you want?", Miku demanded. "And how did you get on stage and why do you look like us?", Rin wondered. "My name is Miku Zatsune", Dark Miku answered. "And I am Rin Arakawa", Dark Rin replied. "Because of you two interfering, Mikuo and Len broke up with us!", Dark Miku screamed, clearly enraged.
"What are you two talking about? We didn't even know you and them were dating", Miku sputtered. "Why are you guys after us? We didn't tell them a thing!", Rin pleaded. "LIARS!", Dark Rin shrieked, now downright infuriated, "You two need to pay for what you did!". With that, Dark Miku and Dark Rin got out their weapons and raised them to attack. Miku and Rin froze in terror and so did the audience which let out a shocked gasp.
Content Warning: For those of you who are really squeamish about violence, this is your FINAL WARNING to turn back NOW. Everyone else, you may want to hold on to something because things are going to get graphic now.
3:36 pm
Dark Miku landed the first shot, smacking Miku in the left shoulder with the metal pipe. Dark Rin took the next shot, slamming Rin in the right kneecap with the baseball bat. As she did this she pushed the red button on her remote to activate the electric barrier around the stage. Once the audience realized what was going on, they tried to scramble out of the way.
However, Dark Rin then pushed the green button and instantly a 2 meter high wall of fire erupted from underground, preventing the audience from escaping. "YOU ASSHOLES AREN'T GOING ANYWHERE!", she yelled into a megaphone. "WE'RE CALLING THE SHOTS NOW, BITCHES!", Dark Miku shouted into another megaphone. This is really where Zatsune and Arakawa crossed their moral event horizon.
The audience was now in a panic. Several people managed to get burned seriously. One unlucky man had his arms catch on fire. As he shouted in pain, several audience members had to help put it out. In another instance, an extremely unfortunate woman was in the middle of the ring of fire as she tried to flee and her legs caught on fire. Again, several audience members had to put it out, all while she was screaming in agony. Many of the kids in the audience were shrieking and crying in fear and clutching onto their parents who were equally afraid.
While the audience was panicking, Dark Miku and Dark Rin continued their assault on Miku and Rin, hitting them with the pipe and the bat with bone crushing force. Miku had been hit twice in the left shoulder, punched three times in the face, kicked in the abdomen once, struck twice in the left knee and slammed twice in the right leg. Rin had been hit three times in the right knee, punched five times in the face, kicked in the abdomen twice, slammed twice in the left wrist and struck four times in the left leg.
Each time they were hit, Miku and Rin both screamed in pain, and cried out for help. Clearly, they were both frightened, believing that Zatsune and Arakawa were going to murder them. On the other hand, Dark Miku and Dark Rin were laughing at them and mocking them the whole time. The two complete monsters were clearly enjoying watching them and the audience suffer.
It was just then that they noticed that dark thunder clouds had moved in and that the wind had picked up. "Wind speed is 70 kilometers (43.50 miles) per hour", Dark Miku announced. "I didn't know we had the power to do this", Dark Rin noted.
Anyway, Miku's and Rin's painful screaming had alerted the other Vocaloids to the situation and they rushed to help. But as they found out, the electric barrier was preventing them from passing. Several of the boys were nearly electrocuted as they tried to pass.
"What the hell just happened?", Kaito wondered. "All right, who's the shithead who placed an electric barrier around the motherfucking stage?", Dell shouted angrily. "I don't know, but whoever did this must have an evil soul", Gakupo replied. At that moment, Leon and Big Al came running in. "Guys, the area around the audience is in flames!", Leon called out. "Flames? What do you mean, actual flames?", Kiyoteru asked. "Yeah, on fire! Someone must have rigged the area with some weird contraption", Big Al answered. "This is not normal! Not normal I tell you!", Nero called out.
Just then, the girls noticed that they were short two Vocaloids. "Wait a second, where are Mikuo and Len?", Meiko demanded. "Oh no, don't tell me they've gotten lost!", Haku cried out. "The last I heard from them, they were going backstage!", Gumi explained. "Oh shit! That means that they might have gotten their asses burned to a crisp!", Neru exclaimed, clearly terrified. "This is not good! Not good at all!", Miki sputtered, pacing around. "Wait, if they're backstage, that means they probably avoided that barrier", Lola realized.
3:40 pm
Meanwhile, Miku and Rin were still being pummelled by Zatsune and Arakawa. "Please stop it!", Miku pleaded, with tears filling her eyes, "We didn't do anything, I swear!". In response, Zatsune slashed Miku in the left arm with her katana and shouted, "Shut up you bitch!". "Come on! We haven't done anything!", Rin sputtered, with tears falling down her face. Arakawa's response was to slash Rin in the right leg with her knife and yell, "Don't give me that bullshit!". With that, she pulled out the remote and turned the green button slightly, increasing the size of the ring of the fire and bringing it closer.
At the same time, Mikuo and Len had managed to see this happen. "We've got to stop those bitches!", Mikuo asserted. "You're right, we do! I've never my sister so frightened in my life!", Len agreed. "We need that remote too. There has to be an off button on it to shut off the barriers", Mikuo added. "Exactly, we have to get the audience out of here", Len replied, "So shall we charge at them?". "We've got to, if we want to save everyone", Mikuo told him.
So with that, Mikuo and Len interlocked their arms together and charged at Dark Miku and Dark Rin. Luckily for the boys, the girls were paying too much attention to beating the hell out of Miku and Rin to notice them approaching. Once they reached Zatsune and Arakawa, Mikuo and Len immediately began punching and kicking them like crazy. The girls were so surprised at this sudden interruption that they didn't even have time to fight back.
While Mikuo held Arakawa down, Len, who was holding Zatsune down, grabbed the remote from her hand and pressed the off button. This immediately freed the audience from their fire trap and allowed the Vocaloids to re-enter the stage. A few seconds later, the rest of the Vocaloids piled on top of Dark Miku and Dark Rin. And with that, the battle was at long last over.
Author's Notes:
Chapter completed on Wednesday February 8, 2012
1 meter is equal to 39.37 inches or in layman's terms, about 3 feet 9 inches.
Moral Event Horizon - According to TV Tropes, it refers to the one evil deed where the villain is proven to be irredeemably evil. Dark Miku and Dark Rin have a ton of examples where they could cross this, but for this author, the real moment is when they trap the audience in a ring of fire.
Complete Monster - According to TV Tropes, it refers to a villain utterly lacking in redeeming features. Trying to put a value on the evilness of a Complete Monster is pretty much a moot point. Dark Miku and Dark Rin have clearly become complete monsters by this chapter, as they show no regret for their crimes and no mercy for their victims.
In the Next Chapter: Chapter 5 will examine the grisly aftermath of this attack.
