The next day, the whole VOEZ team was separated. Chelsea had said that she had a "cold", and Ocean had to go to a one day course for summer school. (He wasn't the smartest person in the band). Yuko went alone to her meeting, and Jessy had to take care of a younger relative. Qian Qian was tuning a old piano that made a weird noise each time the G note was played. Lance, however, was meeting up with Deemo.

Lance had just arrived in front of Rayark's building, when he noticed Yuko coming. Quickly, he hid, hoping he wouldn't be noticed. Yuko walked right past him, and entered the building.

Lance let out a sigh, and entered the building using a back pass. He quickly slipped in, and made his way to Deemo's studio.

Deemo's studio was a simple one, with his piano and music sheets the only things in the room. Alice, however, was nowhere to be seen. Deemo was crying next to the piano, holding his music sheets.

Lance walked up to him. "Hey, Deemo, is Alice really gone? Did they use her voice?" he asked.

Deemo nodded, and wiped away a few tears. "They took Alice's voice, and chained it. Please, teach Chelsea… teach Chelsea this song." he said.

Deemo handed Lance music sheets, with the word "Hibikase" on it.

"Hey, doesn't hibikase mean resonate?" Lance asked. "Are you trying to get her voice to shake Cytus's?"

Deemo nodded. He disappeared into the shadows, and Lance could still hear sobbing. Clenching his fists, Lance returned home, along with the new music sheets.

At the same time, Yuko was at the same building, but in a different room. Surrounded by a serious aura, she paced in the waiting room.

5 minutes later, her voice was called on the loudspeaker. "Sasaki Yuko, please report to room 105." a woman announced.

She soon sat in front of 2 woman, both her age.

"Alright, speak up. What do you want?" one girl asked.

Yuko straightened. "I'm here to ask about a strange phone call we received the other day. We received a threat that said you, Cytus, and Deemo would take us out. I would also like to know Little ChuChu's identity." she said

After Yuko's long rant, the girls just blinked, and laughed. "We would never send something like that, but we do want to defeat you square and fair. How about we settle things at the next music competition, Heaven's Note? If you win, you can have Little ChuChu's identity." one girl said.

"But if you lose, you have to drop out of the music world!" the other girl said.

"Yuko looked straight ahead with determined ideas. She said,"I accept. Now if you'll excuse me." Yuko walked out the room, her thoughts jumbled. Picking up her phone, she pressed group call, and soon enough, the whole band (except for Chelsea and Lance) gathered.

Yuko sighed. "Guys, we have to win Heaven's Note, or they won't tell us anything. So we're going to need a good song. Any ideas?" she asked.

Lance quickly pulled out the transcript of Hibikase, and laid it on the desk. "This will help our music "resonate", and beat everyone else. Let's play this!" he said.

Jessy looked at the music sheets. "Did you compose this?" he asked.

Lance simply nodded, and waited for Qian Qian and Yuko's ideas on it.

Qian Qian looked up with a glimmer in her eyes. "It's brilliant!" she yelled. "Lance, you're a genius for finding this song!"

Yuko nodded in approval. "This song definitely fits Chelsea's wide vocal range. Her voice is powerful enough to make the whole world hear her song." she said.

Lance grinned, then frowned. "When is Heaven's Note?" he asked.

"Gimme a sec, I'll search it up….. It's in 3 weeks. Why?" Yuko said.

Lance gulped. "Chelsea's voice needs a week to recover, she needs a week to get used to the broad vocal range, and a week to perfect it. There's a small chance we can't do Hibikase, so let's get a back up song in case." he said.

Jessy turned pale. "That's not good…" he said.

"Oh yea, I have bad news…" Yuko said. "If we lose Heaven's Note, we have to disband VOEZ."

"WHAT!" Everyone except Yuko yelled.

Yuko nodded. "It's our only shot, and with this song, we have a really good chance. As for the phone call, they claim they did not do it."

Jessy stared at Yuko. "Are you insane?" he asked, "WE ARE VERSING DEEMO AND CYTUS, THE TOP BANDS IN JAPAN!"

Yuko just blinked. "So what?" she asked. "Aren't we number 3? Are you doubting our skills?"

Qian Qian chuckled. "Ocean may need to take back what he said about me being the tactician. Yuko's pretty good too!" A/N reference to chapter 5

"So what'd I miss?" Ocean asked. He had just gotten out of summer school, and looked he had died of boredom. "Hey, where's Chelsea?"

Lance laughed. "There's a lot we need to tell you. Don't worry, your crush just caught a slight cold."

Ocean turned red. "C-Chelsea's not my crush! And what happened?" he asked.

Yuko sighed. "Cytus didn't make the phone call. However, they challenged us at Heaven's Note. If we win, we get to find out who Little ChuChu is, and if they win, we disband. Lance also found a really good song we're going to play. It's called Hibikase. And that's the whole GIST of what happened."

Ocean turned pale when he heard the word disband. "Why they heck did you agree to that?" he asked.

Yuko sighed for the 5 billonth time. "I'll tell you together when Chelsea recovers. Lance? What's wrong?" she asked

Lance turned pale. "Chelsea's….. Not answering the phone!"

THIS IS A NEW RECORD

I DID THIS ALL TODAY AND I REACHED SO MANY WORDS

OMG I'm crying

SOOOO happy

Anyway

A few days later (maybe Wensday) I will say thank you to everyone who has supported me in a special oneshot for SAO.

VOEZ will be updating Thursday, I have spring vacation and I'm going somewhere far away.

That whole week I will probably be on hiatus.
