A/N: This was a long time in the making, but I bring you guys, chapter 2 of Sadistic Music Factory.
"FUCK!" I screamed.
I just woke up from my long slumber and released that I slept in.
"Miku's going to have my head!" I said as I rushed into the hallway.
I sprinted as fast I could, but then I realized that I have no idea where my workplace was.
"No, please...PLEASE LET ME LIVE!" I heard a voice shout.
"SHUT UP, YOU INSOLENT DOG! YOU SHOULDN'T HAVE BEEN IGNORING ME NOW SHOULD YOU?!" Another voice shouted, which sounded an awful like...
Shortly after, I heard a lot of gushing noises, along with bones cracking while the voice was steadily screaming and begging for mercy.
I ran to the noises, and what I saw made me want to throw up.
I saw a man sprawled out on the floor, his insides ripped out and torn apart. Not to mention his entire body was battered and bruised.
I then saw Miku in her black factory attire from yesterday, who was not too far from the man herself.
Her hands and parts of her dress were dyed in red. Obviously blood.
The man on the floor noticed me, and weakly tried to stretch his hand out toward me.
"P-Please help me..." He barely choked out.
"Still alive, eh? I praise your will to live. However..." Miku started.
If I got in her way, I'm dead meat.
Miku raised her heel, then immediately stepped on the man's beating heart, crushing it.
The man completely stopped any form of movement after that.
"Ah~it feels so good to let out my stress." Miku said, returning to her normal tone of voice.
"Um, h-hey Miku." I said, giving a light wave. I wasn't sure how to speak to her after witnessing a gruesome murder like that.
"Oh, Ryu-kun!" She said, walking toward me.
It is really kind of scary about how two-faced of a girl she is.
"Hey Miku, do you know where exactly I'm supposed to work?" I asked.
"Why didn't you say so sooner?! Let's get you right to it!" Miku said with a mischievous grin.
She took me by the hand, and dragged me across the cold, metal floor.
Dammit, my hands are getting all sweaty again.
She took me to a room filled with computers. One half of the room were using the new, up-to-date Vocaloid software along with Crypton's quad-core 15 GHz processors...
...while the other side of the room were filled with old computers, with completely outdated software. Tough luck for people on that side, I guess.
"Hey! You there! Don't let your hands stop! Did you think I couldn't see you?
If you dare slack off again, consider this place your grave... Are we clear?" Miku yelled at a guy who looked to be about my age.
"Y-Yes Miku-sama!" The guy said, quickly getting back to work.
"Excuse me?" Miku said, her eyes narrowing dangerously.
"EEP! I don't mean that ma'am, I swear!" The guy said.
Miku had an dead look in eyes. She slowly reached toward her waist without taking her eyes of the guy, and brought out a whip.
"You must be some kind of closet masochist if you expect me to punish you so frequently. But now, I hope you're ready to die." Miku said.
"Noo!"
Miku started cracking her whip on the crying man, leaving blood-red marks on his skin as she did so.
What disturbed me the most about that moment, was when Miku started laughing sadistically, which sounded borderline demonic.
"Ugh..." the guy gave out a defeated groan.
The man started crawling away slowly, which made Miku gain a amused look on her face.
"I expect you to be fully aware that it's pointless to try to escape., because No matter where, I'll always chase after you, catch up to you, torment you, and capture you. That's exactly what I told you when you signed up for the job didn't I?" Miku said.
Miku made a pure black disc materialise out of nowhere, and threw it toward the guy, decapitating him. effectively killing him.
"Now... where were we?" Miku asked, returning her gaze and attention to me.
"Is this where people say 'the magic happens?' I asked.
"Magic? as in music making? of course." Miku said with pride.
What happened next scared the living daylights out of me.
A red light started flashing rapidly while simultaneously an alarm was going off so loud, I started to feel blood trickle from my ears.
"Oh my, one person is missing. Did he run away? Naa, it's not possible." I heard Miku say.
Oh boy. Someone pissed her off. Miku was smiling as she said that, but I could tell that something inside her was twitching in absolute fury.
She flew out of the room into the hallway, speaking inaudibly.
Then all of a sudden, everything went black. All of the workers were whispering among themselves, wondering what just happened.
Then all of the computer screens lit up. As a matter of fact , I looked at the screens in the hallway too, which also lit up.
All of the screens had the same thing-or I should say, same person.
And if it wasn't obvious enough who the person was, I don't know what is.
"That daring fugitive! Where could he have escaped?" Miku said.
It felt kind of weird hearing her voice, because it had sort of an mechanic echo to it.
The screens shut off once more, bathing us in complete darkness.
AKIRA
My name is Akira. I can't even bother to remember my last name, because that sadistic bastard that just showed up on the screens won't let me.
Apparently I'm a fugitive now, too.
I'm currently on the first floor of the Music Factory. I honestly don't know what to expect, but it's truly a miracle that I made it down here.
"Shit, why does this place need to be so damn dark now of all times?!" I cursed under my breath.
I've had enough of this place. I'm getting out of today. and I won't let anyone stop me.
Once I'm out, I'm gonna report this psycho to the authorities, and let justice be served on her ass!
Right now, I'm hiding behind a machine that was exerting a ridiculous amount of gas.
I swiftly moved around trying to feel where I am. I touched something extremely hot.
I slapped my hand over my mouth while sucking on my fingers.
Dumb move on my part.
I heard footsteps that sounded hollow on the metal steps.
Like a zombie, Miku can find me out by noise, unfortunately.
I quietly slid under a thin sheet of metal and I felt something soft beneath me. I starting rubbing my hand on the soft thing and realized how familiar the sensation was.
I did my best not to gag, because I then realized that I just discovered a corpse, and a bloodied one at that, because it felt wet.
I stayed absolutely still. I hear footsteps getting closer.
I quickly darted my eyes around. I saw a faint shade of red right above me.
5 minutes pass.
The footsteps start fading up stairs.
I wait until the footsteps are completely gone, and I decided that it's now or never.
"Outside world, here I come." I whispered as I slowly and quietly removed the metal sheet from above me.
Gritting my teeth, and widening my eyes, I went for the gold and made a mad dash for it, not caring where I run into.
"HAAAAAAAHH!" I shouted as I saw a faint light up ahead.
I heard the footsteps again, only they were much quickening than before, but I ignored it and charged on ahead.
I was sprinting outside, and realized that I made one fatal mistake in my breakout plan.
The Gates.
Ignoring the fact that I had a small flaw, I made a giant leap for the gates and banged on them with all my strength.
"SOMEONE! ANYONE! GET ME OUT OF HERE! SAVE US!" I screamed.
Surprisingly enough, I saw what seemed to be a homeless guy passing by, and he saw me screaming with all my might.
He slowly trudged toward the gates, then widened his eyes in absolute fear.
He started backing away as he fell on his ass mumbling something that I couldn't hear.
"HEY, WHAT'RE Y-" I started before I felt a hand clamp over my mouth tightly, keeping it shut.
I then realized in fear how deep the shit I was in at that moment.
"Found you."
A/N: It's been months since I've written this story. I had originally intended for this to be a practice, starter fic, but then I kept on coming up with new ideas everyday while I write my other stories (Hyperdimension Neptunia Z, One Piece: Rubber and Scissors). So I don't know how frequent I'll upload new chapters for this, but for now I'll just wait and see how much, and what kind of reception this story gets.
