Ch. 4

Awakenings

*Ayatoba starts to walk out of the room. As soon as the doors close behind him, a loud yell could be heard from a bed farther down the line*

Meiko: GAAAH! WHERE'S MY SAKE? PEOPLE ARE GONNA DIE!

Miku: *to herself for once* great, the drunk had to be one of the first to wake up...*

Meiko: SERIOUSLY PEOPLE- wait, where the fuck am I? *Three nurses rush over to Meiko to try and calm her down. (Funny anime struggle ensues) Meiko seems to have no trouble at all sitting upright and flailing madly, but is quickly brought back to normal by a nurse and a fast acting sedative. The commotion has woken a number of the others, and they too seem to be extremely confused. Most of them have the same issues that Miku and her brother did, the inability to sit upright or bend certain ways*

Dell: Ok, where the fuck are we, why am I not able to sit up, and damn it, where are my smokes!

Neru: Screw your smokes pal! My cell pho- oh. Never mind. *picks up phone to check for damage, sees it safe inside its waterproof lockbox she keeps chained to her* hello precious... Did you miss mommy?

Haku: ugh... I-I d-d-don't feel so good... *pukes*

Kaito: what the hell happened to us? Last thing i know i was on the bus and...oh.

Gumi: *still asleep but muttering loudly*

Gakupo: Ok, my head fucking hurts. And my back. And...well, everything i guess...

Teto: *hair is down and looks rediculous* wow... Hey why is my arm clicking?

*nurse runs over to her and pulls something out of her arm and it stops the annoying mechanical clicking*

Rin and Len: Where are we!

*rest are asleep*

*at that point Ayatoba walks back in with the unnamed doctor. The others who had been either complaining or still sleeping had perked up and turned toward the two men.

Ayatoba: if i may have your undivided attention. Good, it seems you've all come out of anasthesia. Wait, *points to meiko* why is she still asleep?

Nurse: she got a little... Belligerant when she first awoke. Screaming something about sake... We gave her something to calm her down but i think we used a slightly larger dose than may have been necessary.

Ayatoba: *sigh* fine, I'll explain everything to her when she comes out of her damned coma. Ladies and gentleman, I believe you need to be informed as to where you are, why you're here, and why most of you should be 6 feet under right about now.

Doctor: try being a little less abrasive...

Ayatoba: fine. You were involved in a serious accident on highway 37. A dam upriver failed and the entire river valley was flooded. A fast evacuation order was given to the towns in the vicinity and no one was hurt, except, of course, all of you. Your injuries ranged from serious to nearly fatal, andits a miracle no one but your driver was killed in this tragedy. Now, right now you're in the Goldvoice local hospital. Now here's where it gets complicated. There was only one way we could save your lives. My cybernetic laboratories have recently developed highly advanced cybernetic "prosthetics". So in lay man's terms, we replaced any heavily damaged parts with robot parts. You are all now technically cyborgs.

Rin:... AWESOME.

Haku: r-really? I didn't know that that was possible...

Ayatoba: it is. We also added something, the state of the art VOCALOID system into your internal microprocessors, which maintain your new parts. This gives you all the ability to sing better and longer than any human in earth. You won't be able to use these abilities without substantial training and practice so all of you will still be going to Goldvoice.

Akaito: so were singing cyborgs. At least its an original concept, I think. Plus we were on our way to do that anyway at Goldvoice, so this isn't really an inconvenience. I bet I can get the hang of this in 5 minutes. *opens mouth to let off a few notes*

Miku: NOOOO!

Akaito: *unbearable screeching noise* whoa. What the fuck?

Ayatoba: we still have to tune them to your individual voice ranges. So please,

for the sake of everyone else's ears, no singing for now until we get these

things tuned in.

Gumi: well that's crap!

Gumo: listen sis, I know I'm usually pretty quiet but shut up.

Gumi: *glare* you shut up...

Mikuo: calm down. Hey Ted, you ok? You look like you're gonna-

Ted:*vomits*

Mikuo: yeah never mind.

Luki: Nasty!

Ted: I think I just puked up a bolt... *looks at the puddle, and indeed there was a small bolt.*

Ayatoba: ooooh, so you were the one the surgeons lost that in.

Ted: im not feeling very confident about this ordeal any more...

Ayatoba: nothing to worry about. Now, in about an hour you should all be able to stand and walk. You all have something or other in your legs but we integrated them into your nervous system so you shouldnt feel anything different. One last thing. We have run a similar experiment in the united states with the same technology. We're trying to have them sent here. They use similar technology, but it's been optimized for the english language. We're working the travel plans out now as they will likely be attending Goldvoice as well.

Teto: More cyborg-y friends!

*one hour later*

*all of the new "Vocaloids" as they had decided to dub their newfound "cyborg brotherhood" were able to walk around and speak without trouble. Neru was blissfully texting away, Haku and Meiko had somehow gotten their hands on some sake, miku was eating leeks, Kaito had finally gotten that ice cream he requested and was happily shoveling it down. At that point some of the

Vocaloids noticed a tattoo on their bodies.

Luka: um, when did I get this? 03?

Miku: 01, weird. *she tried to wash it off* um...it's not coming off...

Teto: I got one too!

Neru: yeah me too... DEN2? Da fuck?

Ayatoba: those numbers simply denote any special modifications to the original cybernetic apparatus. Incase the system takes damage we will need tgat number to make sure you get the right repairs.

Luka: that's reasonable.

Neru: aw, I wanted my fist tattoo to be a dragon!

Teto: I wanted mine to be a chimera!

*neru just stares*

Teto: what? I always thought the concept was cool...

Piko: you guys are weird...

Lily: hey Luka, check it out! *does the robot* i can totally do it now!

Luka: *sarcasm* really? I wonder why. Beep bop boop.

Lily: oh, liven up, Tits.

*Luka's face turned bright red at the old nickname poking fun at her abnormally large chest*

Luka: Lily, I don't want to have to kill you...

Ayatoba: since the majority of you are feeling much better it seems, i believe its time to get you all to the academy. We should begin training right away. I'll show you how to tune yourselves properly on the trip over. It's a simple process.

*as Ayatoba finishes explaining the tuning process to everyone, Miku looks over at Luka. As an old acquaintance of hers, she was concerned for the pink haired girl. She looked much shaken at the news of their "accident". As a matter of fact, almost everyone except Rin looked disturbed. Miku knew that they would need each other if they were every going to get through this.*
