Hello again everyone! Back with another chapter ASAP. The plot will come to a head in chapter 3 so keep on reading! It should be up tomorrow assuming things go to plan (and it will be a lot longer too so don't worry). Also, *DISCLAIMER* I do not own Vocaloid, the fanmades, or Crypton/Yamaha and the like. I do own the OC's. -Rocketman182

CH.2

Waterlogged

*The bus shook on the bridge, waking up any if those who thought it would be a good idea to nap*

Neru and Teto: What the hell was that?

Dell: I don't know, but it sounded bad.

*huge wall of water can be seen speeding down the valley toward them*

Everyone: HOLY CRAP!

*no one had any time to react. The water swept away Gakupo's car first and smashed it into a tree. Luckily the 4 had been talking with Kaito on the bus. The water then took the bus right off the bridge and began to thrash it around violently. The windows had been locked due to the rain, so no one was thrown from the bus immediately. The front windshield smashed and the driver was ripped from his seat and sucked out into the rushing water. The bus began to sink. Most of the men and women on the bus were seriously injured by this point by either the violent thrashing of the bus or by the shards of glass from the windshield. Anyone who still could screamed with all their remaining strength. The water slowed down but they were still sinking. As if by some strange sense of mob mentality they all knew they needed to get out of the bus and try to swim to shore. That, or die in that tin can. As fast as they could, they all scrambled out of whatever crevice they could fit through. By that time the bus was almost fully submerged. It was a mad scramble to shore but only a few had strength enough to make it on their own.*

*3 days later*

*Miku awoke in a daze. She couldn't see straight and almost every part of her body was in pain. She could hear well enough, however. She managed to make out two men, one appeared to be a doctor and another seemed to be some kind of scientist.*

Doctor: "...many wont survive, but at least we found them all. Only the driver it seems was killed outright. The one girl in bed 4 is the worst. Miki, i think her name was. Damn shame. Her entire body has suffered serious trauma..."

Scientist: "Doctor, what if i told you i could save them? All of them?"

Doctor: i would say you were an angel sent from god himself. But I don't think-"

Scientist: "let me show you something doctor..."

*miku drifted back to sleep, not sure what to make of what she just heard.*

*1 week passes, with everyone present on that bus in the intensive care wing of the Goldvoice Academy local hospital.*

*Private Meeting between the Japanese prime minister and Head Scientist Fujiki Ayatoba*

Ayatoba: Sir, we can do it. I have absolutely no doubts. The technology is there. All we need is the authorization to utilize it.

P.M.: i dont know if i can authorize this... What will the population think?I could lose my office if this goes as wrong as i think we both know it can. Government approved, uh, cyborgs? It just sounds ethically sketchy.

Ayatoba: every one of the people injured in that dam break are practically children. This technology can save thier lives. If it doesn't work, they die anyway. They have nothing to lose. WE have nothing to lose.

P.M.: *pauses for a moment considering this* very well. I'll get you the authorization. But if you're going to save those "kids" begin the operations immediately.

Ayatoba: you wont regret this sir. I swear it.

P.M.: i hope you're right.

*miku is awoken by the feel of her being placed on a gurney. She has seen three others be wheeled of earlier in the day, and in addition a number of scientists like the one from earlier had arrived as well. She tried to mutter to one of the nurses*

Miku: wha... What's going on...

*nurse turns to doctor*

Nurse: this one's awake!

*doctor rushes over to her*

Doctor: according to your chart, your name is Miku Hatsune, correct? Of course it is. Save your strength. Don't worry about where we're going, i promise you you'll be glad we did it.

Miku: wha... What are you going to...?

*anesthesia kicked in and knocked Miku out cold*

*4 hours of intensive surgery later, two nurses wheeled miku out of the operating room to a sterile recovery room nearby*

*The doctor from earlier and Ayatoba walk past her room and stop outside the window, looking in*

Doctor: it was a spectacular success. I'm not sure exactly what composes that technology you've developed, but it saved hers, and the rest of these kid's lives. They're in your debt, you know.

Ayatoba: yes, they are. And i plan on having them help me with a little experiment that I've wanted to run for quite a long time.

Doctor: so there were ulterior motives, as I suspected.

Ayatoba: you know me all too well, old friend.

Doctor: Do I now? I was sure there was more to you that I had yet to discover.

Ayatoba: I should hope I'm not THAT complex.

Doctor: perhaps, but I believe you're not an evil man, Mr. Ayatoba. These children have much potential, now even more so with the gifts you have just given them.

Ayatoba: I realize that, of course. But If you will excuse me, I have much paperwork to do before I get the governmental seal of approval for this.

-Scene Change-

*inside Miku's dream*

*Miku's current dreamworld consists of nothing but a medium sized white room. She is in strange clothes, and the only items in the room are a small sofa and coffee table. Sitting on the sofa was a strange man in a black suit. She could feel something was wrong but couldn't put her finger on it.*

Miku: Who are you?

Man: Who are you?

Miku: I asked first buddy, speak up! Where the hell am i?

Man: someone you know.

Miku: and what exactly is that supposed to mean? And don't get all cryptic, it's annoying.

Man: very well. I, Lady Miku, am the physical incarnation of your inner thoughts and desires.

Miku: normal people words, jackass.

Man: I'm your conscience.

Miku: Didn't think I had one.

Man: That would be Neru.

Miku: *laughs* yeah, she is a total bitch.

Man: Listen to me. I think it would be best for you to take it easy for a while. You're obviously alive, so relax.

Miku: if you're my conscience, then I'm technically thinking all of this. Wow, am I really that freaked out that I have to dream up some faceless dude in a suit to calm me down?

Man: Yes.

Miku: well at least you, er, I'm not sugar coating it.

Man: Time to wake up.

Miku: *on the sofa* AWWWW BUT ITS SO COMFY!

*dream fades out*

END OF CH.2

This one was tough to write, and it's not very long, but the plot line is definitely coming along nicely! Remember to review (even if its anon) I appreciate your opinions and feedback. -Rocketman 182
