A.N.- Sorry I took so long! College throws wrenches into plans. Also, I will put on tags to make it easier for readers to find!
I do not own the song, as it was made by Jesus-P and sung by Rin and Len.
Remote Control

Loading… Please wait…
"Hey, Transmitter?" The blonde boy turned from the monitor and looked at the girl.
She was identical to him, wearing black jackets (no sleeves for Transmitter) and dark green shirts. The main differences were that Receiver wore headphones around his neck but Transmitter wore hers constantly, Transmitter's jacket having fur around hers, she wore shorts in comparison to his pants, Receiver's hair was sticking up every which way while hers was smoothed down and held back by hairpins, and their electric yellow strips forming into a tie and a bow respectively.
"Yes?" She didn't bother looking up from the screen of the game she was playing.
"It appears that another player has started our game."
"Great!" The girl giggled and threw the controller she was holding into the air. Receiver caught it and turned off the gaming system.
"Don't get too carried away, they'll probably need a tutorial."
"Aww… But it's so boring! I can't let lose my true skill! Those last players kept getting mad at me for doing the tutorial too!"
"But they had no idea what they were doing!"
"Exactly!" Receiver sighed and massaged his temples.
"I'm sure this one will be different. We still have to follow rules," Transmitter started to whine. "Look, once they get to the other levels we can completely trash them, so just let them have a chance!"
"Fine," the girl huffed. "But I hope he beats your stage fast…"
-P.O.V. Swap-
Rinto was excited; the rhythm game he had been waiting for had finally come out! He ran the entire way from the game shop to his house just to play it.
Rinto carefully took out the disk from its case and slid it into the console. The screen flicked on and bright colors illuminated the room. An electronic song was playing through the speakers as the title screen introduced the game.
Welcome to…
Rimokon Revolution!
*Story Mode Endless Mode Party Mode Options
-Selected Story Mode-
Choose Your Difficulty:
*Easy Normal Hard Insane
Once easy was selected, a girl's face popped up on screen, causing Rinto to jump.
"Geeze, why is that scary…" Rinto scolded himself. "It's just a cute girl…"
"Hey there!" The girl pulled back and winked at the camera. "I guess you're here to have fun! First, I'll show you how to play the game, but after that, you're on your own!" The girl laughed and spun around on her heel. "I'm Transmitter! My brother and I won't go easy on you!" A blacked out picture of the brother was shown. "Oh, but he won't come out to play yet! You need to prove yourself first by clearing easy mode. Good luck!"
The tutorial was quickly picked up by Rinto and he made quick work of easy mode. The rhythms were fairly simple, and the main goals were just to clear a stage with a certain amount of points or to beat a small, weird looking girl with teal pigtails who said nonsense.
"Rinto! Dinner's getting cold!" His sister opened his door and yelled into the now darkened room. Rinto's eyes squinted as she turned on the light switch. As he rubbed his eyes Rinto began to wonder how long he was playing. He came back from getting the game just around noon! Huh, he must've played for a long time without realizing it.
"Sorry, Lenka," Rinto apologized to his sister and turned off the TV. "I guess I just got carried away with this new game." His sister pouted for a minute before they walked down to get dinner.
After his stomach was full, Rinto headed back up to his room. While he did turn the TV off, the console was still on. He decided to look at the first stage of normal difficulty before giving it a rest for the day.
As normal mode was selected a boy looking similar to Transmitter showed up.
"Hey. You must be somewhat good if you beat easy mode in that amount of time," the boy pointed to the section of the screen that showed the time Rinto cleared. "Hope you can keep up with me. I'm Receiver."
During the first stage, Rinto's goal was to either clear the stage with more points than Receiver or to collect power-ups to damage Receiver's health bar. Rinto tried several times but he failed each one. Each of the failure screens had Receiver scoffing at Rinto's performance. Lenka opened the door when Rinto was nearing his twentieth try.
"I'm going to bed. Don't stay up too late," she mumbled and walked to her room across the hallway. Rinto looked back to his alarm clock to find that it was already ten-o-clock at night!
"Guess I have to finish this later," Rinto sighed. He saved what little progress he made and turned off the console.
-P.O.V. Swap-
"I think you went a little too hard on him, Receiver."
"… Did you hear what he said?" Transmitter smacked him.
"Yes, brother. He just called me cute! I swear you are so overprotective sometimes!"
-P.o.v. and time skip-
Lenka was getting worried for her brother. He spends all of his time in his room now. After school, when usually the two would take their time getting home (stop by the café to get fruit smoothies), now he just rushes back to his room. She has to constantly remind him to eat and sleep. Lenka knows that he is a teenage boy, but this was ridiculous!
-pov-
"Finally!" Rinto shouted at the screen. "I finally beat you! Holy crap!" His long torment of never beating Receiver was long over, but the difficulty after him was stupid hard!
After the final boss of Receiver, hard mode became unlocked. Sadly enough, the boss for this one was the girl from the tutorial. What was even sadder was how many times she kicked Rinto's butt. She constantly got power-ups and faked some of her moves to scare him. But finally…
The screen displayed a score only ten away from Transmitter's.
"Aw… I guess you actually beat me," Transmitter pouted. She brightened up quickly enough and a smirk widened across her face. "Oh, well. Let's see how you score in the insane mode!"
Rinto gasped as the insane mode selection lit up and proceeded to mash the accept button. He wanted to see what caused such a taunt from the A.I.
As the screen displayed the boss for insane mode, Rinto's eyes grew wide and watered.
The two siblings smirked, knowing that they had broken the poor player.
The call for dinner Lenka gave him was blocked out by his sobs and the laughter for Transmitter and Receiver.
