A/N: Well here it is everyone. The second and last chapter for the Pop Star Online story. This one had a lot more songs involved and I'm sure you'll all recognize at least one of them.

On another note, I forgot to mention this last chapter, but the Pop-Star Online story is an AU. It is not in the cannon Wyvern's Inferno universe. The reason for this should become obvious enough during this chapter.

Pop-Star Online: Chapter 2

The NPC crowd stood out by the stage as they waited for the show to begin. Asami took a peek out and grinned at the large amount of NPCs there. They'd get a huge standing ovation with this many cheering for them. As long as the guys could do their job at least.

"I still say the girls should have stayed the main singers." Ren said. "I can swing a sword around as good as anyone. Singing though has never been my thing."

"Don't sweat it Ren." Asami assured him. "There's a system assist that helps players as long as their singing skill is high enough, and I know you've been improving that on our way to this town. So it doesn't matter whether you stink or not."

"... You're not making me feel much better."

"No need to worry. I can carry the show." Helios said with a proud grin. "Those NPCs will love my melodious voice."

"Helios you're singing backup." Asami said.

"What?!" Helios exclaimed. "Screw that! You're only favoriting Ren cause you had a thing for him!"

Asami rolled her eyes. "First of all, I gave up on that crush already. Second of all, you're voice is far from 'melodious'. Despite their flaws in real singing, Ren and Riku are still better than you."

"... I will drop kick you, girl."

"You do that, and I'll demote you to background dancer."

Helios gave a hard glare towards Asami. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with."

Outside, the crowd saw the curtain rise and they all simultaneously cheered as the show began. The music started playing as Ren and Riku stood out in front, with Helios behind them, and the girls in the rear, dancing in unison. The guys all held their mics in hand and began singing.

As the music ended, the crowd cheered loudly, clapping and chanting the name of United Front. The three males waved to the crowd. Ren could still feel the sweat going down the back of his neck. If he had judged the girls for being too nervous before these performances before, he sure couldn't do it now.

After the guys finished their waving, the girls walked up and all gave a bow, earning another round of cheers at the crowd.

The group all walked backstage after that electrifying show with both a sense of sluggish afterglow of stage hype and excitement at their performance. "Dude that was freaking awesome!" Helios yelled as he jumped in the air. "You rocked that solo Ren!"

Riku went up and patted the tired guild leader on the back. "It really was a great idea to choose that song man. The crowd went wild for us."

"Yeah… Hoo man, that took a lot more out of me than I thought it was going to." He looked up to the girls who had wry smirks on their faces. "I have to say I have a new appreciation for your singing, girls. That was much more strenuous than I was ready for."

Alice walked up to her boyfriend and planted a small peck on his cheek. "Well, let's keep off of male lead singing for a bit. Don't want to burn you guys out."

"Pfft, I'm just getting started!" Helios said with a puff to his chest. "I'd be down for heading on lead for the next few shows."

"Easy there Helios. We are here to entertain, not torture our fans." Asami chided, making the ash haired teen growl indignantly. "You guys sure kicked ass out there and you'll get another chance to shine again. But for now the girls are more popular and draw in the bigger NPC crowds." Seeing the guys look a bit discouraged, the manager quickly swooped in again. "But don't take that the wrong way. This crowd was huge with a lot of women showing up."

Dagger was sure to let her growl be heard by the group. "NPC or not, no one is gonna ogle MY to-be husband and get away with it."

"Dagger, no threatening murder. Our PR wouldn't be able to handle one of our lead acts assaulting a fan." The manager clapped her hands and lead the way out the door to the next town. "Now let's get our next show up and ready. The guys are back on instruments so they can rest for their next lead performance."

And so, United Front lead their conquest throughout PSO with blazing speed. Running from town to town setting them abuzz with excitement as their popularity kept climbing. All the other players of PSO were on the lookout for them since it meant little chance for success when they'd perform at the same town.

The superstars left the most recent town they performed in with smiles on their faces. This time, Asami had Mai be the lead singer role to attract her somewhat larger fan base. She rationalized her decision with her logic. 'Mai is cute, and cute is marketable for larger crowds.'

"Alright that performance was much better than before you guys." Asami complimented as the group continued on their path. "Especially you Mai, everyone was raving over your solo."

The younger girl blushed at the praise she was getting and started to laugh. "No, stop it you! I didn't do much more than anyone else!"

"I mean it, I've never heard a crowd cheer that hard before!"

"You mean it?"

Asami nodded her head which made Mai simply beam with excitement. "Totally, United Front is a hit with the people." She brought up the map for their 'schedule tour' and saw a row of towns near them eastwards. "Alright guys it's time to head on out and give the audience a show they won't forget."

Ren couldn't help but smile as his friends cheered at the blonde's encouragement. Sure this whole game seemed a bit silly at first but he could tell everyone was having a lot of fun with it. Even Riku and Helios were all aboard for this despite not being singers in the slightest. All in good fun he supposed.

"Hmhmhm... I can see I have yet another group of up-incomers looking to make it in the idol biz..."

Everyone turned around to see who the new voice belonged to and found the idol of ALO silver haired Pooka that was Seven standing there waving her hand in greeting. "Privyet, Wyvern's Inferno! Or should I say, United Front?"

Both Alice and Mai ran up to their friend and gave her a big hug each. Seven's presence among their friend group was rather rare so they often had to make due with video chat. But seeing her in the virtual flesh was a sight for sore eyes. "Seven! How are you doing?"

The idol laughed at the sister's reactions to her being here and gave a cheerful smile. "I'm doing good, just enjoying the event that I've been dying to play these past few weeks!"

"With you already being an idol things must be going smoothly for you." Ren said as he shook Seven's hand. "It's a lot more work than I thought it was going to be."

The genius nodded and gave them a knowing tap to her head. "Everyone thinks that the idol life is all about looking cute or hot while keeping your shape. But when it comes down to it, a lot of work goes into making people smile with music and cheer." She looked past Ren and gave Helios a snide look. "But then again, the weakest link of your group over there wouldn't know the slightest thing about hard work now would he?"

Now it was no secret that Helios and Seven did not get along well with each other. Granted it was nowhere near the level of animosity that he had for a certain blacksmith and sniper but it was still enough for him to stomp on forward and glare down at the smaller girl. "That's some big talk coming from a half pint who can't even reach a counter top! I don't need to take crap like that from a washed up idol who is being destroyed in popularity!"

Seven's cheeks puffed up in indignant rage as she jumped at the guitarist and started pulling at his cheeks. "Shut up you bystryak! I'm just as popular now as I've ever been!"

The ash haired teen started pulling one of her cheeks with one hand while giving her a noogie with the other one. "You think I don't follow idol drama!? I know that Yunna has been slaughtering you in sales and downloads of her music! What's the matter brat? Can't stand the thought of being replaced by a more talented AI?"

Now this statement really got under Seven's skin because she knew it was true. The idol AI from Ordinal Scale Yunna had a much bigger following than her, which annoyed her to no end. But since it was unprofessional to throw shade at other idols and might make her seem unprofessional in the VR world, it was much better to attack a certain asshole Salamander who didn't know his place. In an instant Seven turned her head around a bit on of Helios's fingers which caused a howl of pain to erupt from him before throwing her of the ground to continue their kerfuffle.

Riku slowly walked up to Dagger and gave her a soft nudge. "Shouldn't you, you know, get Helios back in line?"

"I would, I really would but this is something I'll probably never see again. So I'll let it roll." Leave it to Dagger to not intervene when she should. Instead opting to let Helios just get it out of his system.

Too bad for the two of them their fight, if you could call Helios sitting down on Seven to pin her down a fight, was interrupted as a solid kick to the back sent the crazed teen on the floor.

"Seven, what have I told you about starting trouble for others?"

"Rain!"

True to Ren's shout, the Leprechaun warrior and Seven's sister Rain was standing over the Pooka girl as she helped her off the ground. The silver haired idol turned her nose to her manager and scoffed. "Then let that jackass know that he shouldn't butt into personal idol business!"

"It's not personal when everyone and their mothers know about it brat!"

"Why you-!"

"Alright, that's enough from both of you!" Rain said, stepping in between the two. "This isn't ALO. No killing each other."

"She's right, Helios." Ren said. "This is a singing based MMO. No fighting."

A grin slowly came to Helios's face. "Well then we won't have to worry. By the end of this event, we'll have the highest score."

"Is that a challenge?" Seven asked.

"No, it's a fact."

Suddenly, an idea came to Rain. "Why wait? I know the perfect way to settle this, plus it'll be perfect for everyone."

Asami narrowed her eyes at Rain. "What are you proposing?"

Rain opened her menu and showed the other manager her map. "There's a town not too far from here that has their concerts scheduled soon. Players get the usual points they earn based on their performance, plus bonus points based on the total points earned by all of the groups that perform in it. I also know for a fact that Kirito's group is singing there too."

"I get it. With all three of us performing, we'll all get a ton of points and go up in the rankings." Asami said. "Plus Helios and Seven can settle their petty feud."

"IT'S NOT PETTY!" Helios and Seven yelled simultaneously before going back to glaring at each other.

Asami rolled her eyes at the two. "Ok, so it's settled. We know where our next location is."

"I'll even give the dumb brute a handicap." Seven grinned. "He doesn't even have to sing. The singers can be whoever Asami chooses."

"Fine by me." Helios smirked.

"Good, cause you're not singing Helios." Asami declared.

"HEY!"

"Look Helios, no offense but out of everyone in United Front, the girls are way better at singing. Plus even out of the guys, you don't stack up."

Rain showed a large smile. "This is gonna be epic! Let's do this!"

During the trip to the town Rain had mentioned, Asami had done a lot of thinking. With an idol like Seven, as well as the high standing members from Kirito's group, United Front would have their work cut out for them. She needed to figure out which would be the best way to wow the crowd.

There was Mai and Himiko, the cute little girls of the group. Cute and adorable were marketable, that much was true. But doing the same thing over and over again could cost them. She could just have the girls sing together like usual, but there was no real special trait in that. The guys wouldn't be able to sing their way to victory either, not with competition this big. What was she supposed to do?

The answer soon came to her, and she loved the idea almost instantly.

"You want me and Alice to sing a duet?" Ren asked.

"You got it." Asami grinned.

"I don't know…" Ren said. "I'm sure Alice can give one hell of a performance, but I don't think I can keep up with her."

"We're not going for anything flashy this time." Asami explained. "Instead, we're keeping the focus on you two. You can sing a love song together. A nice romantic duet is just what we need to one up the competition."

Ren blushed slightly. He wasn't a big fan of having the spotlight on him and Alice, focussing on their relationship. It was different before with the guys. They were singing a well-known song together, with no real embarrassing stuff. But could he do something like this with Alice?

Sensing her boyfriend's nervousness, Alice nudged him. "Come on Ren. We've got this."

"But-"

"I'll be right by your side the whole time." Alice assured him as she gave him a peck on the cheek. "I know you can do this."

Ren rubbed the back of his head nervously with a blush on his face. "I'll try."

With their next performance settled, United Front continued making its way to the town. As they walked, Alice pulled Asami aside to talk privately.

"Are you sure you're alright with this?" Alice asked.

"What do you mean?"

"Me and Ren singing a love song together." Alice explained. "I know you said you were over him, but still… I know it couldn't be as easy as you want to act."

Asami couldn't deny Alice's point. "You're right. I'm not completely over him. But I said I'd back off and stop trying to interfere with your relationship. Maybe this is just… my way of reminding myself."

"Asami…"

"Really, it's fine." Asami assured her. "There's other guys in the world. I'll get over Ren eventually."

Alice nodded her head. "Speaking of other guys, what's up with you and Yaksha?"

A small chuckle escaped Asami. "I wouldn't call the two of us a couple or anything yet. But maybe… I don't know. I guess the two of us might hook up at some point. Especially after what happened at prom."

"I'll be rooting for you." Alice said with a smile.

Asami returned the gesture with a smile of her own. "Thanks. Now just make sure you and Ren give that crowd a performance to remember."

The competition for United Front was a fierce one for sure. Not only was Seven and Rain's performance with the idol's hit single, 'Cynthia no Hikari' amazing but Kirito's group had surprised them as well with how the girls sung. Asuna took the lead with Yuuki to sing a song they made called 'Courage' that seemed just as popular as the silver haired Pooka's performance. With the crowd this hyped up from the last two groups, it was safe to say that United Front had their work cut out for them.

"Okay, so Seven and Kirito's groups had an amazing performance." Asami started once the other idol group came backstage to congratulate each other. "That's all well and fine but I know we can do this."

"Asami, not to sound like I don't have faith in your confidence but did you hear the crowd cheering for Seven, Asuna and Yuuki?" Mai asked while pointing at the curtains that blocked them from the view of the crowd. True to her statement the crowd was still cheering very loudly. "I thought I was gonna go deaf from all the screaming."

The manager nodded her head, understanding where her client was coming from. "Yes, they might've had some amazing songs but we have something they don't."

Both Ren and Alice were yanked away from their conversations with Kirito and Asuna and brought them in front of the co-ed idol group. "These two are gonna sing a duet."

"... Oh I get it!" Helios started. "Get these two to act all lovey dovey on stage and the crowd will be eating out of the palm of our hands. Devious tactic, I like it."

"Wow, wasn't expecting that."

Himiko quirked an eyebrow. "What? Helios complimenting your idea?"

"No him actually being right on the money for my plan. I guess every dog has his day."

"Swear to god-!"

"But enough of that, he's right. With these two singing their hearts out, there's no way the audience can resist screaming and squealing their pretty little heads off." The blonde turned to her lead acts and gave them both a pat on the shoulder. "So you two, ready to blow Asuna and Seven out of the water?"

Though Ren was the slightest bit hesitant on answering that question, Alice did not have such a problem. "You know it Asami! This'll be our best performance yet!"

Motivated by his girlfriend's enthusiasm, Ren raised his fist in the air and smiled. "If Alice knows we can do it, then let's go all out for this one!"

All members of United Front cheered loudly as they hyped themselves up for the mother of all follow up acts. The audience started chanting their names once the curtains came up and the members had taken their position. Alice looked to Ren who simply nodded back in response and held out his hand. When Alice took his hand, the crowd went nuts in their cheers.

Asami smiled from her position in the backstage as she looked at the two of them with their smiling faces. 'I knew I made the right choice.'

Ren: Kioku nohateni

(At the end of my memories,)

Sagashite ita risou wo ninaezu

(I couldn't attain the ideals I was seeking for,)

Alice: Nanika ga kowakute wakaranakute hitori de furete

(Fearing, being uncertain, I tremble by myself)

Ren: Anata ga miezu ni itsumo aisowaratte

(Unable to see you, I keep putting on a smile)

Alice: Kimi no te no naka dakarete ita

(Embrace in your hands,)

Both: Samete yuku yo ni koi wo shite

(in the awakening night, we made love)

Yume no naka made tsureteitte

(Lead me through dreams)

Ren: Itsudatte kimi wa

(You always,)

Alice: Itsudatte kimi wa

(You always,)

Both: Itsudatte boku ni yasashii uso tsuita

(You always made gentle lies to me)

As the music finished, the crowd cheered at the performance put on by United Front, most notably Ren and Alice. Behind the stage, Asami silently leaped into the air at the outstanding job they had done. If this didn't get them the top score, she didn't know what would.

After United Front walked offstage, they met up with both Kirito and Seven's group outside of the theater while the other performances went on. Each of them were congratulated the others on their performances.

"You and Yuuki were awesome out there." Dagger said.

"Yeah, but Rain and Seven really stole the show with that double performance of theirs." Liz pointed out. "I wasn't expecting the manager to get up on stage and sing."

"Well, it was Seven's idea, and I couldn't really say no to her." Rain admitted. "But it was still a lot of fun."

"But let's not forget the real stars." Asuna said, eyeing Ren and Alice. "That duet you two sung was so sweet. I loved the romance between the two of you."

The couple blushed while smiling to themselves. "Thanks you guys." Alice said. "It sure wasn't easy."

"Just wait, pipsqueak." Helios grinned as he stared at Seven. "We're gonna beat your score by a country mile."

Seven smirked right back at the ash haired teen. "Too bad you weren't able to perform yourself. You had to stay playing backup where you belong."

"You wanna go, shrimp?!"

"Bring it!"

The others were about to step in and break up the two of them, when the loud sound of cheering caught everyone's attention. Even though they were outside, they cheers of the NPC crowd was loud and clear.

"Wow, whoever's singing now must really have the audience going." Alice said.

"Let me check who's up right now." Asami said as she opened up her menu. She tapped the concert in the town they were in and it showed the name of the group currently singing. "It says here, they're called Adorable Intelligence."

"Adorable Intelligence?" Seven questioned. "Where do they get off calling themselves that? I'm an idol and a world famous scientist, the personification of adorable intelligence."

"Let's go check them out." Asuna suggested. "Whoever they are, they must be good."

The group responded with a collective nod and they all walked back into the theater. As they walked out into the crowd, they saw colorful lights flashing around, with the spotlight on the group performing. It was only a group of two, but everyone gasped at who it was.

They were both girls, looking no older than ten. The first had long black hair and was wearing a pink idol outfit. The second had a similar dress on, but it was a light blue color. Her hair was short and had a violet color. Out of everyone, Alice and Asuna had the biggest expressions.

After all, the two up on stage were Yui and Luna.

The entire crowd was going wild for the two AI girls singing and dancing on stage together. Ren and the others were watching them with widened eyes and open mouths, with the exception of Alice and Asuna who were too busy squealing to themselves at how cute their daughters looked on stage at the moment.

"They're so adorable!" Alice cheered.

"How'd they enter PSO though?" Kirito asked.

"Who cares? Those two are stars right now!" Asuna said with a bright smile as she waved at the two girls. "Go Yui! Sing your heart out!"

Helios cracked a grin and glanced towards Seven while Yui and Luna sang. "Wow, so this makes three AI girls that are more talented at singing than you. Hope your science career doesn't end up like how your idol career is looking."

Seven huffed and turned her head away from Helios. In all honesty though, she didn't mind the cheers Yui and Luna were getting. She knew those two were adorable and innocent. If anyone was going to beat her in ratings, she'd want it to be them.

Once the song ended, Yui waved to the crowd with a bright smile on her face. "Thank you everyone! We hope you all liked the show!"

"We need to go now! We hope to see you all again!" Luna added.

The two AI girls stepped off and walked behind the stage. As they walked together, they smiled at each other. "That was so much fun!" Luna said.

"You were great out there Luna!" Yui complimented.

"Not as good as you, Yui."

"Yui! Luna!"

Both girls both looked towards where the voices had come from. Their eyes widened as they saw Alice and Asuna, along with everyone else, coming over to them. Yui and Luna both ran up to their mothers and jumped into their arms.

"Mama!"

Alice smiled as she lifted Luna up and held her. "What are you doing here?"

"Yui and I wanted to try out Pop Star Online with everyone. So we both entered the game through your Amu Spheres" Luna explained. "Did you see us, Mama?"

"You bet I did." Alice told her. "You were awesome out there!"

"You too Yui!" Asuna said as she held her daughter. "I'm so proud of you!"

Yui giggled as she hugged her mother. "It was so much fun Mama!"

A sudden shout from Dagger interrupted the family moment. "Look! They're announcing the scores!"

Everyone looked towards the screen on stage where the points for each group were being revealed. United Front, along with Kirito and Seven's groups were all in the top rankings. But up on the very top was the duo of Adorable Intelligence.

"We did it Yui!" Luna cheered. "We got first!"

"Yay!" Yui yelled out with a cheer of her own.

"As if anyone could compete with you two." Alice said as she hugged Luna.

As they separated from the hug, Luna looked at her mother. "Mama, can we sing together next time? I wanna sing with Mama and Papa."

"Me too." Yui said, looking at her own parents. "Can we Mama? Papa?"

Kirito smiled as he patted Yui on the head. "Of course Yui. You're more than welcome to join the group."

Alice looked towards Asami. "What do you say manager? Think we can fit in another act?"

Asami grinned as she nodded. "Hey like I said, cute and young are profitable, and you don't get much cuter and younger than Luna."

"Yay!" Luna cheered as she hugged her mother.

Seven and Rain grinned as they watched the scene unfold. "Looks like we're going to have our work cut out for us now." Seven said. "We better be on our toes."

Alice smiled as she held Luna. "There's still only a little more time left for the event. Let's make sure we go and sing as much as possible, okay Luna?"

Luna nodded her head eagerly. "Yeah! Let's do it Mama!"

A/N: Hope you all liked the chapter, as well as the song choices. I'm sure you can all tell now why this was an AU. Also for those of you wondering, here are the songs used during this chapter:

Guys song: Dragonball Z opening (Cha-La Head-Cha-La)

Ren and Alice duet: Chrome Shelled Regios ending

Yui and Luna's song: Ubiquitos dB (Kanda Sayaka, aka Yunna)

I recommend re-reading this chapter while listening to those songs playing when their time comes up. It makes it a lot better.

Next time (for real): Ordinal Scale
