"Can you guys even believe it? I mean, the Vocaloids rarely come to islands like Ninjago, and now they're performing! And we get to be the Guests of Honor!"
"Lloyd, keep quiet! We get that you're excited, but you've been hyper about this for almost a week!"
"But they're coming TONIGHT! And I get to meet ALL of them! I'm just too excited!"
"Please Lloyd, go fangirl over that picture of Kagamine Len or something. Even I'm getting annoyed!"
"But-"
"No."
"Ple-"
"No, Lloyd."
"Aww…"
"Now that you're calmer, Lloyd go and get ready. We have to travel all across Ninjago to get to this place, and we need to be ready as soon as possible so we don't have a large crowd blocking us out."
Lloyd obeyed Cole's orders and ran to his room to get himself set to go. He already had everything he needed, which was an outfit and his emergency weapon, which was a green and gold dagger that he could conceal within his shoe. However, the dagger was pretty special. The ancient marks on it could actually transform the tiny dagger into a weapon called the Super Bolt. The Super Bolt was just a weapon that looked like a scythe, but had two blades on each end that could conduct some of his elemental powers.
Lloyd threw on his outfit, which was essentially his way of showing support for the Vocaloids. The outfit he put on looked a lot like the ones they wore, but his had different designs, colors, and accessories. He had a set of wireless headphones that had swirling green patterns over the gold plastic. His shirt had a similar design, but the swirls curled into dragons that appeared on the sides of the shirt. He also had some gold shorts with green trim, and there were sleeves that he wore on his elbows with a similar design as his shirt. The shoes were the same pattern as his shorts though, and he wasn't wearing any socks. Overall, he could pass as a Vocaloid.
Lloyd ran out of the room and onto the deck of the Bounty to find Cole, Kai, Jay, Zane, and Nya waiting for him. All of their outfits were generally the same, except Cole had black with brown trim, Kai had red with orange trim, Jay had blue with light blue trim, and Zane had white with pale blue trim. Nya was red with pink trim, but instead of shorts she had a short skit and her shirt didn't have any sleeves. If they weren't careful, crazy Vocaloid fans *cough*Lloyd*cough* would probably rip them apart, thinking that they were the advanced singers.
Lloyd happily waved to his teammates and jumped all over the deck, leaving everyone else with different levels of embarrassment. His face was just one really big smile, and because of all of his happiness it looked like his eyes were sparkling. This went on for a solid three minutes before he was stopped by Kai.
"Cut. It. Out. Lloyd." Kai said through clenched teeth, clearly annoyed. "Look, why don't we just go already. Lloyd, you can explode with happiness at that concert for all I care, but don't make things difficult for us."
"Okay." Lloyd solemnly agreed. "But only if you allow me to buy something there."
"Maybe. Now let's go before things get crazy."
"YAY!"
The trip was fairly short, but that's because they decided to drive the Bounty as fast as they were allowed to the location of the concert. Lloyd was on the deck the whole time due to his excitement, and he was often clinging to the rails because of their speed, shouting with happiness the whole way. THAT annoyed everyone to almost no end. Once they got there and stepped inside the concert hall though, some of them wished that Lloyd was locked in the Bounty.
"And there's a poster, and I like that statue! It looks like fun! Can I climb on it, please? I promise not to break anything, despite how weak it looks. Now that I think about it, everything here looks kind of weak. Are you guys sure that we didn't accidently walk into an art museum or something?"
"Lloyd, we didn't go into an art museum." Nya told him. "This is the lobby, and everything is decoration, not a playground. And can you please be a little quieter? I think Kai's going to explode if you bug him enough."
Lloyd looked to where Kai was standing, and he could swear that smoke was coming out from under his feet. 'Wow, I didn't think I could annoy Kai THAT much.' He thought with amazement. 'I need to try doing this again sometime!' He then heard Kai make some sort of growling noise at him as if he knew his thoughts. 'Or maybe not…'
Lloyd backed away from Kai, who was staring straight at him with dagger-like eyes. After a few seconds of them having a staring contest, he backed up to be behind Zane and protected from any burns. He peered out from where he was hiding and saw Kai relax a little bit. He slowly pulled his head back behind Zane and waited until they started walking again. However when they were walking he made sure to stay out of Kai's sight for his own safety.
After following the signs to the room where the concert was for what seemed like hours, all of them finally made it. But there was a line in front of the door that they had to sit through, which Lloyd thought was stupid. 'How long does it take to give someone your ticket and go in?' He asked himself. 'This is ridiculous.' Apparently everyone else was thinking something similar, because after he let out a sigh the others followed suite.
"This might be a while." Cole said to everyone before slumping his head down.
"Next." A bored man called out once he finished with the previous person.
"FINALLY!" Jay shouted with relief.
Lloyd cheered along with Jay and even gave him a high-five before handing the guy his ticket.
"Hold on, you are the Ninja?" The man asked with some surprise in his voice.
"Uhh… Yeah." Lloyd answered.
"You six were allowed to come up front and cut the line in order to get in first. You ARE the guests of honors after all, and you even have the chance to go backstage after the show to meet everyone and see how everything goes. But right now the Kagamine twins are looking for you, so you should hurry before the show starts."
"Wait, we were allowed to cut the line?" Jay asked.
"Yes."
Lloyd looked toward the others, and nearly panicked when he saw Kai's face. Kai's face wasn't exploding with rage, but instead it was calm and unseeing. 'This can't be good.' He stared for a few more seconds and noticed his eyes twitching every little while, followed by a slight throbbing of a slowly appearing vein. He backed up a bit while motioning for everyone in the area to give him some space, before the huge explosion occurred.
"AAAARRRRRGGGGGHHHH!" Kai yelled at the top of his lungs. His whole body lit on a special fire that didn't burn him, yet it still scared everyone into backing further away. The flames were so bright and hot that they weren't red, they were white. Some of the hallway around them began to burn, which was quickly put out with Zane's ice. Because of his anger and short temper, the fire glowed for about two minutes. The fire eventually died down and wisps of smoke were left at his fingertips, but the area around him was wet from the melted ice that Zane created to put out his flames.
"Lets. Just. Go." Kai angrily muttered through grinding teeth, his fingers smoking just a bit.
Lloyd watched as Kai stomped into the concert room before following at a safe distance of three yards. The rest followed as well, but even further away than he dared to go. Within a few minutes they found a clear spot in the concert room where people weren't going nuts or laying down on the messy floor. He was grateful that Kai calmed down a bit, but he was still nervous.
"Didn't that guy say that some people were looking for us?" Nya asked.
"Yeah." Lloyd answered. "The Kagamine twins, Len and Rin. Do you think we should search for them or send up a signal to let them know we're here?"
"I think that's a good idea." Cole told Lloyd. "The show is going to start soon, and if those two need to be on stage, then we need to be quick. Go on ahead and send a harmless flare."
Lloyd nodded before raising his arms. Using his inner elemental powers, he found the correct amount of fire and lighting energy and gathered it into his hands. He shot the power upwards and it created a harmless, miniature explosion that grabbed the attention of some people nearby and all the way across the room. When all of them stared at him, he grinned sheepishly and backed away a bit.
A few minutes later of semi-awkward silence, there was the sudden sounds of people being pushed aside and kids running. Lloyd looked to where the sounds were coming from and began to get nervous and excited. Both of the Kagamine twins were running up to him and his friends, destroying everything in their way. If they ran any faster and ran into him, then he would probably end up in a hospital.
Lloyd watched as the twins stopped completely in front of them, wide grins on their faces and surprisingly not out of breath. He noticed that they were both the same height and the same size. Their hair was the same shade of bright yellow as well. In fact, there wasn't much that wasn't identical between the two.
"Hi there!" Rin loudly greeted. "You all must be the Ninja. We are all very pleased that you could make it!"
'Yeah!" Len agreed with just as much noise. "And now we get to show you something special! Not many people get to see this, but it's really fun!"
"And you get to meet our friends and co-workers too!"
"So come with us!"
Lloyd watched the two hyper twins run off before following them. All of his friends were right behind him as they went closer to the stage. However, they didn't stop there. They took a sharp right to the side of the stage and went down a hallway that was guarded by some people wearing dark gray suits. Those guards just watched them as they ran after the twins and stared down the hallway until they were out of sight.
After a few minutes of running around (almost in circles at some places) all of them reached a door labeled 'Guests of Honor Room'. Lloyd stepped inside after the twins opened the door for them to walk through and he gasped in amazement. The room was filled with pictures and statues of heroic people that were also privileged to be the most important people in the Vocaloid concerts. The only thing that didn't depict anyone was a strange machine in the back of the room.
"That machine back there copies your form and makes that shape a statue." Rin explained while pointing to it.
"We used to take pictures, but those quickly became annoying." Len added in. "Statues are cooler anyway."
"So we just walk in?" Zane asked.
"That's right!" Rin said. "Just make sure that you pick a pose you like and don't move too much."
"The last time someone did that it caused problems." Len told them before simultaneously shuddering with Rin.
Lloyd nodded before getting dragged by the arms to the machine, where he was pushed inside and locked in. He stood completely still while the machine worked, and he eventually stepped out once Len yelled that he was done. The process repeated for each of his friends, and after a little while there was a voice from an intercom that was in the corner of the room.
"Attention, all Vocaloids that will be performing must go to the stage. Guests of Honor, please go with them and listen to everything they say. Thank you."
"I guess that's our cue." Kai said.
"Yep!" Rin happily answered. "Now, does anyone here have any sore throats or coughs?"
"Uhh… I don't think so." Jay told Rin. "Why?"
"We just need to know." Len said to them before grinning and winking. "Trust us, you're going to have the time of your life here."
Lloyd and his friends were standing to the side of the stage while some of the Vocaloids were preparing for the curtain to raise. The Vocaloids were supposed to do a quick dance performance while the announcer calls out their names before they performed. It was a new routine, but Ninjago was a new place.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, welcome to the first ever Japanese Vocaloid concert in Ninjago!" The announcer called out while the curtain began to rise, resulting in cheers from the audience. "The Vocaloids performing are, Sakine Meiko!"
Right then, the curtain was completely risen, but the whole stage was too dark to see. One
spotlight turned on to reveal a tall girl with short, red hair. She gave a thumbs up to the people in the audience, showing them her 00 tattoo at the same time.
"Next is, Hatsune Miku!"
The next spotlight was flicked on and it was shining on a tall, thin girl with long teal pigtails. She twirled around, showing off her 01 tattoo on her arm to the audience.
"Here comes, Kagamine Rin and Kagamine Len!"
Another spotlight flicked on to show the twins, who grabbed each other's arms and spun, balancing each other and showing off to the world their 02 tattoos that were right below their shoulders.
"The next Vocaloid is, Megurine Luka!"
The next spotlight shone on a tall girl with long, flowing pink hair. She didn't do much for her entrance, just struck a pose that showed everyone her 03 tattoo.
"Now comes, Kaito!"
The guy who appeared right then was fairly tall and had short, blue hair. He also didn't do that much, but his coat was floating a bit as he smiled for everyone.
"Now here is, Kamui Gakupo!"
The man who appeared next had long purple hair, and due to his outfit it looked like he was wearing a dress. He swung a samurai sword around before putting it back in its hilt before waiting for the last Vocaloid.
"And the last Vocaloid to come up is, GUMI!"
The last Vocaloid to be featured was a tall, thin girl who had short green hair. She seemed overly excited, and that showed through her jump that she performed.
All of the Vocaloids quickly performed their routine, which was a combination of all sorts of cheerleader-like moves that eventually led to all of them forming a pyramid. But just as soon as Meiko reached the top (which was her position), she fell over a bit and forced everyone to fall with her. Everyone fell into a large pile, and after a few seconds they laughed.
"Now that we know all of the performers, we have some special guests. The Ninja of Ninjago are here with us today, and they are our Guests of Honor!"
The crowd erupted in cheers once Lloyd and his friends ran onto the stage. They waved to the audience and basked in the cheers before the announcer said the one thing they weren't expecting.
"To make this concert special, the Ninja are all going to sing for us before the Vocaloids perform!"
