"Is everyone here?" asks Miku from the top of a motherboard. She searches the crowd, checking names and faces, counting to see if that's everyone.
"We should be," says Rin, on Miku's left side.
"If we're not then we're dead," says Len on Miku's right side.
"Don't talk like that," says SeeU, in a panic.
"And why not?" asks Rin with a tilt of her head.
"Because," says Miku as she jumps down. She's getting serious now, this wasn't a time to be playing around, "if the Master is missing one of us, it's more then likely that she will be sad." Miku turns to the twins, now somewhat angry. "And under no circumstances should the master ever be sad. Do you understand 02?"
"Yes Miku," say the twins together, almost as if they were kids being scolded to not break into the cookie jar.
"Very well," says Miku as she nods her head confidently. She then turns to look at the people behind her. "Do you wall understand?"
"Yes Miku," replies everyone in unison.
"Very well," says Miku as she heaves her gun over her shoulder and gives a little smirk. "Let's go save some lives!"
"We're really not going to do anything," says Kaito.
"We're really not going to save lives," says Lola. "That doesn't stop Miku from saying it anyways."
"You've got a point," says Kaito.
"Let's just go," says Miku as she watches the Vocaloids marching out towards the "Wastelands." "And I don't want to hear any back-sass from ya'll either!"
That got a few concealed giggles, which made Miku embarressed. They all marched steadily up towards the "Wastelands," too scared and nervous to crac a joke or socialized. Most of the Vocaloids haven't been to the Wastelands since their re-upload, or download. Those who have been there, didn't want to go back. All the rumors and stories about the Wastelands... were true. Miriam and IA shake as they walk together, scared at what will happen. As they near the edge of the boarder, the beginning of the Wasteland, they see a golden yellow barrier surrounding the Property.
"The Virus Protection Barrier," says Gumi in aw.
"The VPB," simplifies Meiko with the same experression as Gumi.
"I've only read about these!" says Miriam as she breaks ranks to touch it.
"Don't you DARE touch it!" snaps Miku as she swopes in and hits her hand away. "If you touch this barrier they you'll create a hole for which those gross little bug are able to wiggle through."
"I didn't mean to," says Miriam as she looks at the ground in shame.
"She didn't mean any harm by it Miku," says Kaito.
"That doesn't mean that she won't cause harm..." says Miku as she spins around to Kaito. Both glare at each other until Kaito angrily looks away first. Miku just gives a truimphant smirk.
"Listen here!" yells Miku so all the Vocaloids could listen to her. "Because of our pure programing, if we touch the barrier, it will create a hole in the barrier. Even a simple pinie touch will create a 3 centimeter dimeter circle. With that simple touch, you've just created a chance for the viruses and deleted trash from the Wasteland's able to enter and expand the hole so that they can enter and destroy everything the master has built up."
"Why is that?" asks Rin as she raises her hand.
"Because our pure programing and the purification programing of the barrier, cancels each other out. Since the barrier is an annual upload, it will dissolve while our premenant programing will regerate itself," explains Miku.
"So don't touch the yellow stuff," says Len as he makes a mental note.
"Or eat the yellow snow," adds Rin.
"Not important at this time," says Miku. "There was an alert that was warning all programs to stay away from the barrier."
"Then why are we here?" asks Sonika with a raise of her hand.
"Because we have ben placed on this earth to protect the master, love the master, and be someone that the master can love," explains Miku. "That's why we have to be here, so that we can protect the master in her time of need."
"Are you done?" asks Kaito as he waits to see if she'll start another monologue about the master. "We already know this. Now... what is it you want us to do?"
A smile grows on Miku's face, "I thought you never ask!"
