I DO NOT own Vocaloid (but I do own the picture this time. (I know, shocking))
A/N- I'm switching P.O.V.'s a lot in this story, but it's easy to tell who's it is.
Chapter 7: Playing With Vocaloid
6:30pm, Central Japan Middle School (Rin's P.O.V.)
It was time for the play, and I was a nervous wreck backstage. I was standing with Kaito, Luka and my brother, avoiding the urge to look outside at all cost. "Rin. Why are you so nervous?" Len asked as he placed his hand on my shoulder, and used the other to fix his hair.
"Says you. You don't have that many lines. And I'll be fine, it's just last minute jitters."
"Well that's good. You two are on. Good luck." Kaito smiled as we both nodded and walked onstage as the music started.
Oh. How could they all die? Really a shame.
3, 2, 1 Oh!
King!
What now?
Help!
Oh what do you want?
They!
Right..
They took the princess and won't give her back!
Hero should...
Not exist.
Hmm, got it!
Eh?
No need to fear, you be the hero!
Set up let down!
Jimmying the lock and a brand new stock
of any old item to get you going!
Party on up and to get you pumped and fight
Oh tell me you're just kidding, right?
Fine so ever if you're in trouble talk to the peasants, okay?
And with a smash go beat that boss down!
Wait what now?
Boast it and toast it and raise your all your glasses
Cuz they all know that I rule all the masses
And I'll just be here doing everything for their sake
Thinking again, the bigger they are
The harder they're overthrown
One up and one up and throw up your hands now!
Partying hard just to watch them all bow down
Hold up a second, didn't hear this at enrollment
My paid vacations are-? DELETED DELETED
So now we're waiting for the bating of the breathing and the beating of the beastly ol' ultimate boss
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting to keep peace over the land
Looking on, fighting from furthest point in the rear
Calling your stats out like you're blind or just can't hear
Fighting for you and maybe fighting for the "peasants" too
Take a sec to see how hard we fight so you can rule
They're falling one by one around me and I'm flashing red
I knew my levels just weren't high enough yet...
Sorry but your party was wiped out completely, now you're dead
O God in heaven, why? Amen.
Oh! How could they all die? Really a shame.
But I guess I'll give you another try
"If at first you don't succeed!"
But my king!
Don't like the name?
No!...This is insane.
Eeh?! Dead people don't have any right to complain!
All we got in our castle's stock is really fine to keep us going
Partying guys with crazy high levels
Oh woah, that's pretty awesome, right?
But then again, I stress this one single thing that's ruling as we're dueling
Nicely put - oh screw it they're a
HUGE MORON
This I get now, humans just like fighting battles
And this just a thought (OK?)
Say we need to work to better, work together?
Is this "The Game of Life" all again?!
To reach the next level, you should probably get
Experience points, with a thousand, you're set
But maybe a backbone wouldn't hurt you to find
Don't you falter this time, this is it now, ok?
Telissa, Borosso, Zanshi, Paronte
All of these magicians used to get your way
Calm and quietly I'm always smiling down at thee
But politely bragging away, I give my scepter a wave
Holit and, Holit and, Holit and, hold it!
It's always this spell and it's spelling out "STUPID"
It puts the mighty king into a mighty deep sleep
And just who do you think you are? This better not be a coup!
Hey I'm no hero, and I think I should add...wanting a hero played right, you should just play it yourself!
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting to keep peace over the land
Moving on, fighting from furthest point in the front
Seeing approval ratings rocketing from one! (WAIT. WHAT THE?)
Fighting for views and always fighting for the money too
Take a sec to think about what this king really rules
They're falling one by one around me and you're red as flames
How could they all be dying? Really a shame!
Say that we're fighting for a cause because I demand
Say that we're fighting so your smile always stands
Sliding by, we're always trying harder not to die
Scraping up what info on the evil we can find
And so today, I stay here guarding like I always do
Awaiting one good hero strong enough and true
I know you're thinking that I'm hiding on the throne again
But in the end I know I'm too weak to win
Then the lights darkened again as the "narrator" came onstage and continued talking, though I only listened to my cue as they moved the throne, me sitting in it on the stage as Len enter stage right.
Knight (Len): Highness! You have a visitor.
King (Me): Where from?
Knight (Len): A neighboring country of blue
King (Me): Let him in.
Then Kaito walked from stage left like it was just practice, bright face and confident stride as he bowed in front of me like no one was in the audience.
Prince (Kaito): Good afternoon Sire.
King (Me): Same to you. State your business
Prince (Kaito): I've come to rescue the princess
King: You think you have what it takes to rescue the princess?
Prince: Yes sire. Please give me a chance and I will get the princess back. I'm begging you! I'll try my best.
King: Very well. (Turns to Solider) Solider, test this princeling. If he can't beat you, he's not ready.
Knight: Yes Highness
(Setting Change)
Knight: I won't go lightly. Highness needs someone worthy to go rescue the princess. (Draws sword)
Prince: Very well, but I Prince Kaito will not rest until I see the princess safe back in the castle with the king (Draws sword)
Knight: Very well. Fight!
(The KNIGHT and PRINCE fight until the prince knocks the solider on the ground and place a sword at his throat.)
Prince: I believe we're done here
King: Very well. You have access to go. Solider, prepare the best three horses in the castle.
Knight: Yes High...Wait, three?
King: We're to accompany the prince while he travels.
Prince and Knight: Highness!? You're coming with us?
King: I'm bored, so...why not. Now go!
Knight: Yes Highness.
The stage lights dimmed as Len walked off stage, followed by me and Kaito. The rest of the play felt like nothing, until we got to the end.
Prince: Milady! Are you in here?
Princess (Luka): I'm in here!
(PRINCE looks around before seeing PRINCESS)
Prince: Highness! She in here.
King: Good. Solider, open the door.
Knight: Yes Highness.
(KNIGHT opens door and PRINCESS comes out)
Prince: Princess! It's good to see you safe again!
Princess: Thank you Prince Kaito.
King: Our work is done. Thank you for helping rescue Princess Luka
(KNIGHT and KING exit SL)
Now was the big moment, Len and I eagerly waited backstage as they drew closer and closer, both of us ignoring what they were saying all together before we heard...
Princess: Yes.
Then they did it. The crowd went wilder, and I hugged Len as tight as I could. Then the lights had dimmed, and the two ran offstage. "Well, that was..." Kaito started as he scratched the back of his head and chuckled nervously.
"Sweet." I finished as they both blushed before we returned to our normal composure. "Now, down to business. Is the livestream ready?"
"Miku's doing the livestream from the audience. And it should start as soon as we walk onstage." Luka sighed nervously as the others walked off-stage, leaving the main cast to go last, which was us. We all walked onstage, smiles on our faces as we bowed before Len spoke through the microphone still sitting on his ear. "We would like to thank you all for coming tonight and supporting us."
"Now...I'm guessing you've heard of Vocaloid?" Kaito asked as the crowd cheered before Kaito spoke again. "Well...what if we told you Vocaloid was in this very room?"
"Don't believe us? Well, let's just go to the Official Vocaloid Channel and see. Will you do the honors Rin?" he asked me as I ran behind the curtain and used the computer hooked up to the screen by the stage. I opened the official page and scrolled down to a certain song as Luka ran offstage, leaving Kaito and Len.
( watch?v=8QDv4jdom8E)
Most of the audience was in shock by the time they finished, some in complete shock, others more disbelief than shock. Kaito and Len just stood there, out of breath after singing along with the screen behind them so the others could see the video. Len smiled before nodding towards me. "Have you figured it out yet?" he asked as some of the people in the audience simultaneously gasped before checking their phones and showing it around.
"So...words gotten around. Why not go again Len? You know...just for the fans." Kaito suggested as Luka pushed me on stage and Kaito ran off.
( watch?v=Q_qoAKd_eqA)
After we finished, Luka and Kaito ran back onstage, Miku following before putting the camera in front of the stage, continuing the livestream. "So...as you now know, Vocaloid is just a bunch of students who go to the same school." Luka started as she looked at me.
"But...What about the rule going around the school?" I asked "innocently" as Len stepped in.
"With that rule...we'll have to disband Vocaloid I'm afraid." Len sighed as he and Kaito momentarily glared at Yuki and Kagomae, who were cowering behind the wing.
"Unless," Kaito started as he so gracefully brought Yuki and Kagomae onto the stage. "You could lose the rule." he whispered in Yuki's ear as she blushed. I knew what he was doing. Kaito was using his nature flare to try and win over Yuki, who had more power than Kagomae for this.
"Well...I don't know." she stuttered as Kagomae shot her a death glare.
"Sister! He's messing with your head. Don't trust him, they're continue Vocaloid whether we stop the rule or not. I looked at Len, who looked at me. He casually walked up to Kagomae and grabbed her hand.
"Why Kagomae? I don't think you want to try us. We will disband Vocaloid. And plus...the decisions final. We're livestreaming." he smiled as Kagomae hesitated.
"F-Fine! We'll break the rule! Anyone can talk to anyone!" both the sister cried as they ran offstage, Kaito and Len high-fiving, the three of us hugging.
"You heard it first Japan! You've met Vocaloid! Have a good night!" we all called in unison as everyone cheered, us reaching our ultimate goal all along.
I hope you guys enjoyed the final chapter.
See u guys l8tr!
