Hola! Told ya I would try my best to update as much as I can x)
Disclaimer: I do not own Vocaloid ^.^'' *sniff* It still gets to me...
~Rin POV~
Ugh. Where am I? It's so dark in here. Suddenly, a bright white light flickered on and I found myself looking at...me? There were full length mirrors on both of my sides. Is this because my last name is Kagamine? Not funny.
"Welcome to the Hazy Maze" a male voice boomed from above. "During your time in the Hazy Maze, you will come across obstacles. Fail one single obstacle, you won't get a second chance"
What? I did not agree to this?
"You don't have to agree to this. You have no choice"
Okay, that is freaky.
"Yes. Yes it is"
Why can it read my mind?
"Because I am epic"
"Uh...what happens if I fail an obstacle?"
"You don't get a second chance"
"Can you be a bit more specific?"
"You die"
"That's...one way to put it..."
"First task...find your way out of the mirror maze"
"Sounds easy enough"
"You have ten minutes"
"WHAT?"
"Starting...now!"
You've got to be kidding me! I have to get out of here...it's a matter of life and death.
~Len POV~
I got blinded by a bright white light. The first thing I did when I could see again was check my surroundings. The floor was checkered black and white and the walls were black with stars on it, as if I was in space. I was standing in a hallway and there were blue, red, yellow and green coloured lamps aligned on the wall near the top. Below them were square shaped panels that glowed white.
"Welcome to the Hazy Maze" a voice came from above.
The what?
"Hazy Maze"
Okay. WHAT THE HELL AM I DOING HERE?
"Relax. You have to get through a series of obstacles. If you fail one, you won't get a second chance"
"What do you mean a sec-"
"You will die. Isn't it obvious?"
"How did you know I was gonna ask that?" This is freakin' me out. And on top of that, Rin is still missing.
"The girl I gave the instructions to before asked the same question"
"Who?" Another girl...could it be Rin?
"Short blond hair, was wearing a similar costume as yours, yadda yadda yadda"
Definitely Rin.
"Your task is to work out a couple of riddles and touch the panel accordingly"
"What riddles?"
A floating bubble that contained writing appeared in front of me. Well that answers that.
"You have ten minutes"
Oh crap. I hate my life.
~Meiko POV~
"Welcome to the Hazy Maze"
"The what?"
"Hazy. Maze."
"Oooooooh. Wait. WHAT AM I DOING HERE?"
"Ugh. I don't get paid enough to do this. In fact, I don't get paid at all. I am a computer after all kufufufu..."
I could feel a sweat drop coming on.
"Anyways, you will go through a series of obstacles. If you fail one obstacle, you don't get a second chance"
"Which means..."
"YOU DIE, GODDAMMIT!"
"Sheesh. Someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed this morning..."
"You're mocking me...ANYWAYS - you have a time limit for each obstacle"
"Woah woah woah...woah. Hold your horses. I didn't agree to any of this"
"It's either this or you die, lady. Chop chop."
Rude much?
"Nah, you don't say!"
"I refuse to give in to your petty demands. I will fry you UP like a baked potato on a Sunday morning! With beer! And Vodka and Stella and wine and-"
"I GET THE POINT! Gah...you have 10 minutes..."
"To do what?"
No reply.
"Hello? Hellooooo?"
A full length mirror appeared in front of me. Damn, I look GOOD in my costume! I turned around a bit to admire more of myself.
"I admit, we look awesome" I said. Wait. I? My mirror image thing can talk?
"Don't look so surprised, geez!" she said.
This day just keeps getting better and better...
"I am here to give you your task."
"Oh joy..."
"It's not so bad. All you have to do is go through that door over there" she pointed to a black door. "That will lead you to a small box-like room which will have doors on each of the walls. Choose the correct door and that will lead you to another box room and so on and so forth. It's all based on luck and instincts."
"Hmm...I guess it's worth a shot"
"Oh! Before I forget, there will be some monsters popping up occasionally, so be on a lookout for those"
"Say wah?"
"Good luck! You have 10 minutes starting...NOW!"
Anyone wanna swap lives with me?
~Kaito POV~
Stupid strong steel arms...a white light chased away the darkness, to reveal a red velveted room. I'm not kidding, the ENTIRE place was covered in red velvet! In the back of the room was a tall shelf stacked with big, thick books.
"Welcome to the Hazy Maze"
"Eh?"
"I swear you humans...you will go through a series of obstacles and if you fail one, you don't get a second chance"
"As in I...ya know...die?"
"FINALLY SOMEONE GETS IT!"
This guy must have had a tough day...
"No kidding...your task is to-"
"Wait, I didn't say that I would do all this Hazy wajamajig stuff!"
"And I thought you were the smart one..."
"Don't forget good-looking" I smiled, my pearly white teeth flashing.
"Yeeeaaah...your task is to pick up the correct book so that that steel door opens. You only have one chance"
"Otherwise I die" I sighed. This is definitely not what I expected to happen. What exactly is Ted trying to do? My headset doesn't work either, so I doubt the others work. I can't contact anyone. Not even the other Ranks who might be worrying their heads of thinking why the heck they can't connect with us. And to top it off...Meiko is still gone...
"Aaaaw...your so sweet"
"Right...well, here goes nothing..."
I walked up to the bookshelf and scanned the articles. A book about tae kwon do, volcanoes...leeks? Miku and Mikuo would like that. There are so many books. Which one should I choose?
"Alll right, all right. You talked me into it. *sighs* Even though it's not permitted, I will give you a hint"
"Actually, I d-"
"The book has something to do with greenery and wildlife etc."
"Hmmm..." I found a book titled 'Into the Jungle'. This must be it. I picked it up and the room started to shake as if an earthquake was coming.
"Good job, Einstein"
A few moments later, the shaking stopped and the door slid open.
"Good luck. You have 10 minutes"
How I love my job...
Long chapters for the win! Looks like Rank 1 has gotten into a sticky situation ^.^ Did you like this chapter? Did it surprise you? Only one way for me to find out...your reviews x)
