The plan went perfectly. "So you said to meet me here" asked Maylu. She appeared next to T , who was in vocaloid form. She had been standing reading through some data she had pulled up. "Yeah, I needed to show you the way to their mainframe. You'll have to go there every so often" said T.
"So where is it? Just tell me where to go" said Maylu. T shook her head. "So here's the thing. The Net has its benefits and its downsides. One of the downsides is that there are so many paths which branch off from the one you want that unless you are constantly up to speed, you'll end up lost, out of energy, and then soon enough…deleted" said T.
"So what are you saying?" Asked Maylu. "That's why I'm pretty much your guide for now" said T. "Oh please…you have to lead me around the net when roll travels around it all the time?!" Maylu asked. "Because she does it so often. Ever heard of that girl…or guy, Ranma Sautome" asked T.
"Of course…that one anime character" said Maylu. "Well let's just say the story isn't as fake as it seems" T told her. "What do you mean" Maylu pressed. "Well I mean two things by it but the first thing you need to interpret it as is that one small solution can make many big problems" said T mystically.
Maylu raised an eyebrow. T smacked her face. "I mean that if you try traveling through the net as you are now, you'll make Many huge issues you don't want any part of just because you didn't travel with me" she said.
"Like?" Asked Maylu. "Remember the first Net Battle Grand Prix lan and Megaman were in?" asked T dryly. "Deletion?" Maylu asked her. "Mmm, yep" T answered simply. "So let's go already" said Maylu. T nodded and the two vanished.
"Aaaah! Every time!" Screamed Maylu as the pair flew through the network. "Yeah, It happens all the time" said T.
They reappeared in a sort of room where Miku was sitting in a chair. "Oh, you two are here as well?" She asked. T nodded. "What? We late or something?" She asked. "No… your right on time" said Miku. T whipped her brow. "That was close" she said.
"So what's so special about this…and why are we in a dimensional area?" Asked Maylu. "The company has these all over the building. They allow us to actually interact with the place. And makes it easier to get updates" said Miku.
"You and T keep talking about these…..updates and…being up to speed. What's this about?" Maylu asked her. "You T and myself are living data. Well you two also are made of energy. Anyhow, we need to be updated…like computers. It's just a necessity" said Miku.
Maylu looked like she had seen a ghost. T laughed. "What's so funny?! I might loose my memories or something" said Maylu. "Naw, it feels awesome" said Miku. "I mean it's kinda weird how they go about doing it sometimes" T said, her eyes rolling off to the side.
"So how exactly do they do it?" Asked Maylu. "You'll find out when it happens" said Miku. A man in a suit walked in. "Hey, what are you doing here kid?" He asked while pointing at Maylu. T walked up to him.
"A word?" She asked. He nodded. "Ok, listen. I know we all agreed it was best to seal it away but project humaloid could be the only chance to stop the netbreakers. So I was caught and she was one of the two kids who saved me. She went so far as to snap a netbreaker's neck to find me" T said.
"You used the..….fffffffffffffffffrick" said the man. "So whatcha gonna do? Fire me? You need me. Tell her parents? I'll intercept the call before it leaves the building. And what was your rank in the company again? Oh right. An unpaid volunteer. So what say do you have in telling me what to do with a project that might have ended in a lawsuit had it been someone else it was tested on? Nothing. Just like the alternate answer to my last question" said T.
He nodded slowly. "Right this way please" he said before leading the three down the hallway. "T? "What did you say to him?" Asked Maylu. "Logical Statistic Manipulation. It works wonders for gaining favorable positions. In fact, I could say it's more effective than net battles" said T.
The other two decided not to question it. The man led them to a room full of computers, cables, wires and pod like beds. (If you watched through beyblade metal masters, the beds looked like an Arrangement System…just not as sinister. And those of you who didn't, go watch the Metal Saga it's amazing)
"T…I don't like this place" said Maylu. "Oh relax. It Doesn't hurt at all..in fact, it's quite the opposite…as long as you don't resist it" said T. "Otherwise it'll hurt like the punishment for being judged unworthy by the gods" said Miku. Maylu gulped.
"Alright. Here we are. Just lay in here" said the man as the glass covers to three of the beds opened. T and Miku got in and the lids to theirs shut. "Well…you want to end up loosing your energy, then deteriorating until you are deleted completely?" The man asked Maylu. She shook her head.
"Dude, don't make me….." T grumbled. "Fine. Look kid. There's two options available for you here. One, you just get the update…or two you fade away. If I was you, I would personally choose the update" he said.
Maylu sighed and got into the bed in between T and Miku. The lid then closed over her. She began to panic and T rolled her eyes. "MAYLU SAKURAI!" She shouted. Maylu stopped struggling. "Just calm down or this will ACTUALLY hurt. If you are calm, the real danger is only in your head" said T.
Maylu took a deep breath as the machine she was in began to power up. "Just shut your eyes and relax" said Miku. She did so.
She then felt a warmth flowing through her and smiled. "See… It's fine" said T.
After about five minuits the feeling stopped. The lids then opened and the three got out. "Ok…update complete…feeling good" said T while stretching her arms. "So how was that Maylu?" Asked Miku. "I…don't know…I've never felt like that before" she said.
"Well anyhow. About our weapons" said T. "Of course. The update scans were successful" said A man in a white labcoat. Now we just need a voice sample from you each as well as your current weapons" said A lady in similar attire.
T and Miku both formed their microphones in hand and handed them to the two apparent scientists.
"Ok, and as for the new girl. We need to make you one. Do you play an instrument?" Asked The man. "Um, I play piano…" Said maylu.
