"Really?" Miku asked. "Is it really that simple?"

"I think it is." Meiko told Miku after reading the paragraph on the website. "It's like the classic 'darkness gets destroyed by light' kind of thing. Except we're dealing with some kind of organization that will be even easier to beat up. I don't think you will even need your leek!"

"I ALWAYS use my leek." Miku said defiantly while crossing her arms. "You don't understand the power of vegetables well enough. You just get yourself sick on sake all the time!"

"Nobody makes fun of my sake."

"I just did."

"Can you two stop it already?" GUMI asked with clear exasperation in her voice. "It's just about time for bed and fights will make it worse for us when we need to look for KITTEN's hideout or base or whatever they use."

"Thank you for ending their bickering." Luka told GUMI. "And Kaito, get off your computer. We all need to sleep. You can figure out where the heck they took the Ninja in the morning or something."

"Ugh… Fine. But if we waste any more of our limited time, then I'm going to blame the loss of a few hours on you."

"We'll waste even more time if you don't rest. We all need all the energy we can get. Now lights out before I make the lights go out for you."


As soon as the sunlight from the dawn of the second morning shone through the small window, Kaito felt the light escape through his eyelids and force him to wake up. Once he sat up he looked around, making sure nothing bad happened. To his relief his friends were still sleeping and none of their stuff was stolen.

'Time to do some research.' Kaito told himself while stretching and releasing a yawn. 'Maybe today I can look further into scenario twenty seven, because I only skimmed it earlier, and track where KITTEN took the Ninja. I don't think any of us will get out much today, but it'd be safer for us to stay inside anyway.'

Kaito leaned over and turned on his laptop before pulling it onto his lap. He signed in and quickly re-found KITTEN's website, while also pulling out his flash drive and a small CD. He inserted both into the sides of the laptop and waited for the CD's installation page to pull up. Once it did, he went through the boring procedure of selecting what would be installed and how. Then he had to go through the loading page, which is when he pulled a document out of his flash drive.

Kaito quickly found the document he stored information on scenario twenty seven for and pulled it up. He skimmed over the boring introduction which just gave information on who wrote the scenario and how to get all of the others. Then he got to the good part, where everything he was looking for came up.

'Let's see here… Ah! Here's what I need to know. Scenario Twenty Seven occurs when the main defenses of a country are being restricted. Due to strange coincidences that always follow the Vocaloids, the defenses are restricted inside of one of their concerts. Most of the time everyone who attended would want their money back, so scenario twenty seven poses a problem with profits. That leaves a week to recover money in any way possible, which involves more work than usual, and if nothing is brought back up to speed, then the current manager loses their job. In the past, desperate managers stole money just to get everything back to normal and their jobs intact. Once the police learned of this, scenario twenty seven was given a negative mark on any of the permanent records, even if the manager never stole anything. This scenario affects all of the Vocaloids and their separate companies as well, reducing sales and lowering their popularity.'

Once he finished reading on scenario twenty seven, Kaito understood why the Manager was upset. She didn't want to steal anything, lose her job, or have a permanent bad mark on her record. It would just cause problems for everyone and even those not involved.

'I never knew the Manager was so caring.' Kaito began thinking. 'Or maybe she just doesn't want to lose her job and that she doesn't care about the rest of us at all.'

Right then, the installation was finished for the program Kaito was setting up. He opened up the program and waited for the loading bar to fill up so he could figure out where KITTEN could be. Everything started about a few minutes later, and that was when Kaito got right to work. The name of the program was 'Global Web Finder', and what it did was figure out where a website was created so long as it was made on Earth.

Kaito took the URL of the website and put it inside of the text box on Global Web Finder and clicked the button labeled 'Search'. A little loading circle appeared next to the button and was slowly spinning. Once it was finished, the whole screen turned gray and words started appearing on the background. One sentence was in a different color, and it told him exactly what he needed to know.

'The creation of this website happened in the underground of Ninjago toward the northern side. It was started almost a year ago, but the creator is still accessing it from that very location.'

Kaito grinned now that he knew where they were supposed to go. They were currently in the more southern part of Ninjago, so the distance was long, but at least they knew where they should start walking. He didn't exactly like the sound of walking that long distance, but they didn't really have much of a choice.

Once Kaito closed out of Global Web Finder and shut off his laptop, he noticed that some of the others were starting to wake up. Luka's eyes were open, Miku was stretching her fingers, the Kagamine twins were trying to sit up, GUMI was rolling around in her sleeping bag to try and fall back to sleep, Gakupo was getting out of his sleeping bag, and Meiko was obviously awake but was attempting to get right back to sleep.

Kaito put everything he took out away before taking the time to stretch away his tiredness. He got out of his sleeping bag and walked over to the pile of bags in the corner of the room. He dragged out the cooler to the center of the room and sifted through some of the backpacks to see if he could find any other places where food was.

While Kaito was searching through everything, Gakupo had come to help him try to find what they needed. Miku and Luka had gone over to the cooler to try and get out some drinks for them, and Rin and Len started pushing their sleeping bags out of the way so they could set up a table or something for them to eat on. That left Meiko and GUMI to try and find something to help out with and get things prepared.

Kaito and Gakupo managed to find the bags with the food after a few minutes of searching. They dragged them out to the center of the room where Rin and Len had set up a small table and some cushions for them to replace an actual dining table and chairs. Miku and Luka managed to get out some bottled water for everyone and finally GUMI and Meiko found something for them to help with, which happened to be clean up before and after everyone.


After all of them set up everything, ate, and put everything away, Kaito began to tell them what he found and where they should go. He told them about scenario twenty seven, why they have a time limit, and how bad things could get. He also told them about Global Web Finder and where KITTEN's base could be.

"So now we have to travel to the far north of Ninjago." GUMI stated. "I don't think we'll have enough supplies if we walk."

"I don't either." Meiko agreed. "I vote on us stealing a car or something."

"Stealing is not right." Gakupo told Meiko. "We could always pay someone to drive us that far."

"That isn't reliable though." Rin said, shooting down Gakupo's idea. "What if we end up getting in a car that has some creepy weirdo that wants to take us away, tie us from the ceiling on our sides, and throw grapes at us?"

"I still don't know where you get these ideas, and I've known you my whole life." Len told Rin while shaking his head. "But I doubt that's going to happen. Besides, I think I have a better idea."

"What's your idea?" Miku asked Len.

Len smiled before answering. "Well, Rin and I grabbed our keys before we left, and I think you know what the keys go to."

"Oh my dear God no."


"And here we are!"

Miku, Luka, Kaito, Gakupo, GUMI, and Meiko had followed Rin and Len to a building just a mile or so away from the hotel. It was a garage hidden from the world because it was trapped between two busy skyscrapers and looked as if it was a part of one of them.

Rin opened up the door to the garage and stepped inside with Len right next to her. It was still dark inside when she climbed up the piece of machinery hiding in the darkness, but she knew the way around it by heart. Once Len inserted the keys and turned it on, she took control of the wheel and flicked on the headlights.

The light from the headlights flickered a little bit in order to chase away the shadows, giving their friends a short glimpse of the vehicle they were controlling. When the garage door opened just a bit further, they drove their vehicle slowly out of the building to let everyone see the deadly machine.

"You brought your road roller?" Meiko asked in disbelief. "How in the living heck did you get it past us?"

"We didn't." Len told Meiko. "We have road rollers in every country all over the place, just in case we need one. The keys we have control all of the garages they're stored in, so we can access every single one."

"It actually took just about all of our allowance to get the good kind of road roller." Rin spoke up. "And with the amount we needed, well, we had to kinda steal from the treasury. It was for a good cause though!"

"Yeah, one that will kill us all!" Meiko yelled back at the twins. "At least we don't have to worry about getting tired on the way there though, however I don't think road rollers are street legal here."

"We took your lawyer and got it approved." Len said to Meiko. "It explains why you got that random bill. Sorry about that."

"Why you little-"

"Enough." Gakupo said, interrupting everyone. "We can use the road roller to get to where we need to, even if it isn't the fastest machine in the world. It may even prove useful when we fight against our enemies, seeing as how it can crush everything in its path."

"I guess that makes sense, but we're going to have to keep them away from sugar and caffeine for a few days." Luka told them all. "We have about six days left, and getting arrested isn't going to help us at all."

"I just don't think we'll have enough money to bail them out if they DO end up in prison." GUMI said while in thought. "But then again, can't they get away with it anyway? There aren't many officials that aren't a part of KITTEN, the Ninja can't arrest anyone doing evil, and we can just crush the witnesses."

"Please don't give them ideas." Kaito begged to GUMI. "I'm fairly certain that the Manager will figure it out and send us over to the police back home. She finds out everything in a matter of hours."

"Look, can we just get in the road roller already?" Miku asked impatiently. "We'll need to get back to the hotel for our stuff, but the sooner we get out of here then the quicker we'll be done with this mission."
