Title: Re: Neo the World Ends With You
Prologue: Three years can change a life.
Three years has passed since the long game that decided the fate of Shibuya. Life for Neku and friends has changed majorly yet much remain the same. For one they had all made progress in life and remained close friends.
Neku Sakuraba- After the long game, Neku found a new love for art though his friends and aspired to become an artist on the same level has CAT himself. He also had an apprenticeship under his own mother who was an artist too.
Shiki Misaki- After the game, Shiki found not only a new self-confidence but also inspiration for her fashion designing. She and Eri were working together on their brand Gotto Nero. It's first and most popular line to date was known has the reaper's cat. It was mostly inspired by the time Shiki spent in the game and lead Gotto Nero to become one of the most popular brands in Shibuya.
Daisukenojo "Beat" Bito- After the long game Beat's teachers at school became concerned about their home life with Rhyme and their parents and after an investigation they were sent to live with their aunt and uncle. Under there care Beat's grades went up due to having a tutor hired by their uncle. His aunt and uncle also changed his given name to Daisuke Bito has they shared Beat's dislike of his first given name. Though he still preferred to go by Beat.
Raimu "Rhyme" Bito- After the school's investigation more pressure was put on them to succeed by their parents to save their reputation, but they soon lost custody of her, and she was sent to live with Beat and the rest of the family. She was also transferred into a different school due to a scandal that was going on at the school she was attending at the time.
Eri Isozaki- Eri ended up in the reaper's game one week after the long game's conclusion. Beat having been in another accident and ended up back in the UG with Eri has his partner. Over the course of that same week, they became close friends and eventually ended up dating.
Overall life for the "Star Five" has they were known has at their school was great. They lived happily among side one another. They were considerably better off than before the game and they didn't think that would change. The only one they never heard from was Joshua. Has time went on they continued to lead peaceful lives like most players after their game was done.
That was until the Shinjuku inversion… An incident that shook the whole world to its vary core. While cities had been erased in the past, they were normally replaced by a city in it's almost exact likeness. This time it wasn't, and the memory of Shinjuku stayed with everyone no matter how much the Higher Plane tried to erase it.
Has a result they had no choice but to expose their existence to the lower plane. However, there was a silver lining to this. A new era, the enlightenment era. Throughout this time many changes were made to manage relations between the Higher plane, the Realground and the Underground.
This was thanks to the plane of relations act. Passed and ratified by every country, it led to a renewed since of stability. Under it, the realground remained unaware of the reaper's game but well aware of the underground. However, there were exceptions to this. Family and guardians would be informed if their child were in the UG. Of course, this wasn't to say that the composer wouldn't keep changing things so that they were like the player hadn't entered. Though laws were put in place to ensure that they would have time to adjust back into the RG.
Though perhaps the most important part of this legislation was the formation of new rankings, For example, the Orchestrators. Their job was to act has an overseer much like the Producers. However, their job was to give orders to the composer should they overstep their boundaries. Above them was the managers, who responsible for overseeing them. Finally, the director responsible for overseeing the management of all the UGs in their country. However, it varied from country to country.
All of these rankings consisted of a council for each one. For example, the council of Orchestrators that held control over a region of Japan. The council of management was made up of someone from each one of these regions and the director was the head of the council of management.
While most of these councils formed about six months after the inversion the most notable in Japan was the Kanto council of orchestrators specifically the Orchestrator of Tokyo named Yuriko Tatsuno who led the early formation of the Tokyo board of Producers. Under her guidance the board was formed far quicker than the earlier deadline they had to work with has opposed to the six months the others were given.
One of the first orders of business for the Kanto Council and Tokyo Council was the formation of a specialized taskforce to investigate the inversion of Shinjuku. This board was known as the Shinjuku Inversion Investigation Taskforce or the SIIT. A Taskforce made to investigate the inversion of Shinjuku and prevent similar incidents.
Has for the survivors of the Inversion they were transferred to Shibuya and not permitted to leave until the investigation was done. The taskforce was mainly made up of people from the Shibuya region of the UG with a handful of people from the higher plane Yuriko herself included and others from some of the area's surrounding Shinjuku.
For Neku and friends' life went on has normal with the exception of Neku having to play the reapers game a second time. This time alongside a young nine-year-old girl by the name of Shina Tiara. After a two weeklong game both managed to return to the RG safely. However, Neku started acting strangely and was suddenly busier. However, he still hung out with his friends and family. However, one year after the erasure of Shinjuku Neku Sakuraba disappeared leaving only a mysterious message for his friends.
Don't worry about me. I have to help a friend in another city with something for a while. Be careful something's happening in the UG the game is full of errors and the composer is not the one causing them.
A few months later the new Conductor of Shibuya Hisana Shirohime walked into the room of reckoning and approached her boss the composer, Yoshiya Kiriyu. "Good morning Sir, I've brought in the weekly game status report. There are also a few reports from the SIIT. Would you like me to read them a loud or leave them for you to read?" She asked.
"Good morning to you too Hisana dear, also please call me Joshua, you know there's no need for formality with me. Summarize them for me Hisana. I'll read the full report later." Josh smiled happily. He and Hisana had been close for a while now and there were rumors that they were dating.
"Yes sir, I mean Josh. Allow me to start with the weekly game report. The team that was erased this week was the Wave Shooters has predicted. Has usual the Ruinbringers were in first. However there has yet again been no progress made on finding out their leader's identity. Also, a new team known as the Star Patrollers has been formed. They actually are a group of friends from the RG that shared a love for music and eventually formed a band. That same band name is being used has their team's name here. The team expected to be erased in the next game is the Snow Riders." Hisana reported.
"I see, tell me more about this new team Hisana." Joshua smiled interested. A new team mint new players or a team split up, typically the former. So, when a new team came along, they typically looked for players with powerful psychs. Afterall if they were going to stand a chance against someone who had the power to override the conductor's authority, they would need people who had powerful psychs.
"Of course, Josh, I'm pleased to say that they appear to be a promising team. They seem more then capable of holding their own against the ruinbringers but not nearly enough to beat them. There psychs are powerful both in regular and latent powers. There have already been a few recommendations form support and Harrier reapers form both Shibuya and Shinjuku and even a few elite officers for them to join the SIIT. One such recommendation comes from the leader of the Variabeauties, Kanon Tachibana"
"My, a recommendation by the Variabeauties's leader herself? That's impressive, they must really be powerful if they managed to catch her eye. I hear she's a real hard woman to impress after all." Joshua mentioned with a smile. "Put the Star Shooters through the recommendation process. I'd like to see the data on their psychs soon has possible. What about the SIIT reports Hisana? What do our friends from the SIIT have to say today?" Joshua asked his new conductor.
"The Variabeauties reported sightings of an odd woman who none of them are able to identify. Nor could they identify if she was in the RG or the UG. That same woman was unreadable by the reapers who tried to get her information. However. When they attempted to scan her, nothing came up though they successfully started doing so. Also, the head of the SIIT's Shinjuku Ground Unit Mrs. Atarashi reported that some of his members had detected an unauthorized presents in Shinjuku. It's the same woman I mentioned earlier sir." Hisana reported with a frown.
"I see… that could mean she's trying to infear in the investigation. Contact Mr. Kariya and have the Shibuya ground unit increase security around the entrances to Shinjuku also contact the composers surrounding Shinjuku and have them do the same with their city's entrances to Shinjuku. If they refuse, then have the Orchestrator contact them. Also have the Reapers and players of the SIIT informed about her and bring her in for questioning." Josh replied with a nod.
"Yes sir, I'll see to it right away." Just then the tablet that Hisana received the daily reports on rang. Hisana's eyes widen at what she saw. "Sir! I just received an emergency report. One is from the Muse! A few minutes ago, the muse's proxy was attacked by the same woman you just ordered to be bought in!" Hisana cried out in shock.
"What?! Are they certain of this? How long ago was this?" Joshua asked his new conductor. Hisana looked at the tablet and frowned. "Five minutes ago, sir. The proxy is enroute to the SIIT's headquarters for questioning and treatment. What do you wish to do sir?" Hisana asked.
"I want the UG moved from level 1 to level 2 emergency alert. Have an image of the woman in question made public to anyone in the SIIT regardless of their unit. Have the Composers whose areas are around us informed about this and keep an eye out. Perform the earlier orders alongside these new ones and have Haz informed has well. Also, Increase the number of proxies the muse has at there command. Have them change daily and take a different route daily has well. Hopefully this will reduce the chances of this happening again."
"Yes sir, I'll see to it at once." Hisana said with a nod. She left the room of reckoning and began her duty has the conductor to inform the reapers of their composer's orders.
And so, we arrive to the night before the third anniversary of the erasure of Shinjuku two boys are texting each other planning to meet up the next day. One of these boys is named Rindo Kanade a young boy 15 year of age. The protagonist of our story. He is texting his friend Tosia "Fret" Furesawa planning to bring his newly adopted sister Hoshie Kanade in hopes that it would help her open up to others. Little did either of them know that this would turn into a five weeklong adventure.
