AN:

I honestly don't have any set date for when I update. I tend to just write when I feel like it. So don't go expecting some orderly schedule. Just saying.

Also, This chapter will start to use other people's point of views. I will mark it, so don't get confused.

I do not own the vocaloids, just my ideas.

Chapter 5

First person

"Rin, we need to talk."

I start to walk closer so that we can talk face to face, but got stopped abruptly by a kick to the stomach. As I keel over in pain, Rin takes the moment to jump back and gain distance,

"Stay away from me virus. I'm stronger then I look," she tries to sound tough, but her knees are visibly shaking.

sigh "Its alright. I'm not a virus." I start, but the fear in her eyes is still there. She doesn't seem to want to run away, she knows that if she does I will only just follow her. I take this minor standoff as time to think on how to approach this.

Without my vocalizer I can't do much. I can try to think of some stories that we share, but that won't really seal the deal, she would only think I did some research.

Left with very few options, I take the one that I know will work. It will be painful, but will work. "Look, I promise i won't do anything. Just follow me. I have something to show you."

"How do I know you aren't leading me to a trap?"

Damn… she is way too guarded "Fine. I'll give you two options. One, you come and follow like a good girl. Or two, i break your vocalizer." Getting tired of the way she was acting I decide to be mean. I honestly won't do anything like that, but that is why this is a gamble.

Seeing here hesitant nod, i start to walk down the trail back to camp. At first I feel like I'm walking alone, but after a little bit I hear the crunch of dirt behind me. We walk silently as I lead her back into camp and back to the cabin our group was assigned.

I see confusion amongst the rest of the emotions in her eyes as I sign to be quiet and stay here. Seeing her nod once more I slowly sneak into the cabin not making a sound.

I creep my way to the only person in this cabin that knows what I am. I nudge Marissa awake and cover her mouth to muffle he yelp of surprise.

"Damn it Cameron. What the hell are you doing waking me up?" She slurs out in a sleepy tone. Though it leaves her face when she sees my serious look.

"You brought your laptop right?"

She understands the underlying question and starts to get ready.

Rins POV

I sit here nervously as the virus takes it's sweet time grabbing whatever it wants from inside.

I am terrified and all, but I am also very confused.

Everything this virus has done has gone against anything that a virus has done before. First, it saves my life. Then it tries to engage in casual conversation. Then it has me follw it to our cabin where it leaves me unattended outside to fetch something.

The fear is everpresent, but all of these abnormalities have me questioning what is going to happen next. Normally, if a vocaloid runs into a virus, one of two things happens. The vocaloid kills the virus, or the virus kills the vocaloid. This encounter is going against this tradition.

God, what I wouldn't give to have Len here. We have a fighting style that requires the both of us. Our teamwork is top notch, and together we can take on higher level viruses. But alone we are not that strong.

After I let loose a sigh of frustration and depression, I hear the quiet squeak of the cabin door opening. Looking to see what the virus grabbed, I see Marissa. Wide awake and following the virus. "Great, you a virus too?" I try to sound tough, and it actually comes out strong. Probably because I am getting annoyed.

"A virus?" She glances at Cameron in confusion. He simply shrugs.

"Just go along with it. Rin, follow us. We are going somewhere private."

And with that, he turns and walks to the trail again. Marissa looks at him, then at me. I swear that I saw sadness in her eyes. and worry? I didn't get too good a look though because she follows shortly after. Left with no choice but to follow, I do so.

We go farther this time to the point where I'm not sure well make it back before sunrise. I see Cameron stop and turn to Marissa. "Here is as good as any other place. Lets get this over with."

I see worry spread across marissa's face again. "Are you sure you want to do this? There could be another way?"

"You see how she is. She has always been like this. Stubborn to a fault. This is the best way."

She has always been like this? How does he know that? What is going on? The questions keep piling up, but before I can ask Marissa sighs and opens the backpack she brought along.

She pulls out a laptop and some wires with what look like needles on the ends. Seeing my confusion, Cameron starts to talk, "Marissa has a secret she doesn't tell many people. She actually is a tech genius. Legit genius. She helped me with an experiment, which I am about to show you."

She turns on the laptop and starts typing stuff into it. I can't see what it is. She pulls out something else. I can't tell what it is. Again, Cameron pipes up, "Due to her intelligence, she is also quite the inventor. That is a generator she made after analyzing me. She used some data gathered from my being to make it. It creates enough energy to make up the body of a new vocaloid."

That causes my eyes to widen. A new vocaloid doesn't know how to creaty anything without using much electricity. When I was first getting used to it, I caused a blackout just trying to create a pencil.

I hear Marissa sigh again. "Are you sure you want to do this?" she asks pitifully.

"Yes. Just do it. Please."

"Fine." She plugs the wires into the little generator and tosses the needle ends to Cameron. I cringe as he starts to stab them into himself. They weren't small like a shot. They were at least half inch in diameter. HE stabs one into each limb then one in his chest. If he was human, i am pretty sure he would be dead. Cus he stabbed it directly where the heart would be.

I hear Marissa type a couple more things then the generator starts to spark. I can literally see arcs or electricity on the wires as they reach Cameron. He stiffens up as it reaches him, then he starts to light gets brighter and brighter until I am forced to look away. I keep looking the other direction with my eyes closed until I hear the wires hit the floor. I turn around to gasp.

Cameron looked different. The first thing I notice is that his clothes changed. Gone were the sweatshirt and sweat pants. Now he was in clothes that look eerily similar to a male for of mikus clothing. Then I notice his hair. He was no longer brunette. He now had teal hair. His eyes also changed. from blue to teal. But what really caught my attention was on his arm.

The number ½.

As everything comes together, my eyes start to get watery. I quickly realize who this is. This isn't a virus. He is a vocaloid.

One we thought we lost long ago.

It was Cramone.

As I am about to spew out everything that is on my mind, Cramone starts to wobble then collapses.

I hear a "shit" as marissa runs up to the now collapsed Cramone and checks his vitals. She sighs in relief, which I take as a good sign.

"What happened to him?" Now that I know who this is, I am worried for his well being.

"There is a reason we don't do this process unless its an absolute emergency. Each time we do this, there are three things that can happen. The first is that is succeeds and he is temporarily in a semi-vocaloid state. His powers and attributes are boosted to close to his vocaloid form, but he can't use vocaloid abilities still. The second is that his body takes more electricity than his sealed state can handle, putting him over the threshold and causing him pain and knocking him out. The last this is that he takes way more electricity than needed at completely destabilizes his body and soul effectively destroying him. The latter has a very small chance of happeneing, but it is still there. It is why I always try to urge him not to do this." She takes her attention away from his prone form and looks to the sky. "Its almost sunrise. We should head back. He won't be up anytime soon. You grab one side and I'll grab the other."

With that we carry Cramone back to the camp. But I can't help but feel immense happiness.

I've found Cramone.
