Chapter 4

Glutamine-
We were sitting around the table at the Utauloid estate, eating dinner, it was getting dark and there was still no sign of our missing friends. "Can you pass me a glass of the vegetable juice." Iroha slid the glass of green liquid in my direction. ((A/N: Popipo -reference-)) The silent truth hung all around in the air. I think about Gakupo, he was the first one who was nice to me when I first came here. I'm not a vocaloid in the same sense as most of the others here, I'm a representation of my nico nico singer. The others are programs made up of voice banks and drew with fanart. I'm created from leftover voice recordings and brought to life by the fans. Sometimes the others look at me a little different, but they have learned to accept me for who I am. After all every new vocaloid that shows up here is showed a bit of skepticism. I took a sip of my drink and looked around the room. "Hey, where's James?"

Beck-
Everyone was settling into there sleeping bags when I went for a walk. And when I got back Gakupo was still awake looking into the center of his disk at some pictures, but I couldn't tell what they were of. "Gakupo... What are you still doing up?" "Oh-" he didn't realize I had came back. "I was..." He handed me his disk. "That's my girlfriend, Lily." I looked at the blond haired blue eyed girl. I swiped through the pictures "she's pretty, she back home?" He nodded. "Yeah, I hope she's not to worried about us." "She probably worried sick about you." He nodded as I handed back his disk. "Everyone probably found the hole by now, it was right outside the old Utauloid estate." "What's that?" "Oh, that's where the Utauloids lived before they moved into the main Vocaloid house, that's where we all live, together." "What's a Utauloid?" "It's a completely different branch of Vocaloids, Teto, and some others are Utauloids, they were just programmed by different people in a slightly different way. Eventually everyone that lives on the land moves into the main house, as a united family." I sat down. "That sounds really nice. Do you guys ever fight?" "Yeah, but the problems are always resolved... Did you know we don't just sing happy songs, we sing sad songs, scary songs even evil songs. It's to remind us that we are lucky, the world that created us has problems, and we don't ever want to lose what we have, our peace, our unity, our, family." I nodded, I wish our world were still at peace. "Tomorrow will be here before you know it, you should get some sleep." I turned and got into my sleeping bag when Gakupo said "Whatever happens, I want you to know that I respect you and will follow your lead, to whatever end." "We are partners in this, no matter what we both lead them, back home." Gakupo smiled faintly then turned over and went to sleep.

Paige-
When I returned to base Pevil was gone. And his door to his bedroom was, more or less 'unlocked', and what I found was not Pevil, but I did find pictures of Vocaloids scattered across the table. I knew he knew more then he let on earlier. I then asked around, and found he had left, but no one seemed to know where, I had idea. When he usually up and disappear, he headed towards the capital city, I have no idea why, but apparently that is his birth city or something. I don't care but I had the strange feeling that's where he was, and that he might harm the Vocaloids, and he can't do that. I hopped on my military lightcycle and headed towards the capital. While driving I thought, what compelled me to do this? I've always thought rationally, never on gut feelings. But this did feel different, like a voice was urging me to go.

Oliver-
We woke before sunrise and started walking towards the headquarters. We didn't want to attract any attention to ourselves. First we came to a entry point with two guards. "Let me handle this brother." Gumi said placed her hand over his, that started to draw his sword. She put on her ten faced mask and staticed to the really... Suductive, Gumi. She winked as she walked away. We watched as she distracted them and swiftly disposed of them. She waved us on as she changed back. We all ran after her and made our way to the building. "Alright, Katio, Teto and Gumi stand guard out here, but stay out of sight, and warn us if anything goes wrong. IA, you're with me and Oliver you're following Gakupo. The software thing will be in the basement we'll both head that way in different directions in case one way is blocked. We'll meet up back here in about an hour. I know this isn't very organized, but it's the only way I've ever planned anything before." Beck started to turn when Kaito asked "Anything else?" "Don't get caught, and if you do... don't under any circumstances allow them read your disk." Beck never sounded more serious before. Gakupo and I started to climb up the side of the building as beck and IA crawled through an air duct.

IA-
I was following Beck through the ventilation system for many twists and turns when I felt safe enough to ask "Do you know what this thingy that we need looks like?" "Yes, Tron showed Gakupo and me what it looked like it lookes similar to a... Paint roller. I think that's what Gakupo said it looked like." We came to a shaft that must lead to the basement. "Do you want to go first?" He asked me. I shook my head. "I have no idea what's waiting for us down there." Beck slid down the shaft using his hands and feet to slow his fall. I leaned over to see him land and crawl out with no problem. I followed what he did as I fell my skirt and hair whipped around. I crawled out of the exiting and stood up next to Beck who had left his helmet on as I heard the door start to open I snapped on my helmet and ducked down peeking out Beck did the same. When the door opened Gakupo and Oliver jumped in. "Kamui." Beck called "Tron." He called back. We stood up facing them. "We better hurry, the sooner we get out the less likely we'll get caught." Gakupo nodded. We started looking around. And after a few minuets of searching, "found it." Oliver said cradling it in his hands looking at Gakupo and Beck. Gakupo wouldn't take it so Beck reached out wrapped it in cloth and attached it to his 'belt'. "Out the same way we came in?" Oliver asked. Beck nodded. I looked at Gakupo comforting smile, and watched Oliver wipe a smudge from his helmet. "Meet you outside." I said smiling as we parted our separate ways.

Teto-
We stuck to the shadows watching for any signs of trouble. And that's when this orange light jet came out of the sky and landed in the shipping yard. And out climbed Pevil, I don't know why he was here but I didn't like it one bit. I could hear him yelling from my hiding spot. "What are you doing?! Get out of my way! I'm here on important business!" "What is that jerk doing here?!" Gumi hissed. "I don't know but it's making me uneasy." Kaito whispered. Pevil proudly walked into the building, through an aircraft hanger, with soldiers following behind him. Once he was out of sight I shivered, I hoped that would be the last I ever saw of him.

Pevil-
I walked into Clu's throne room, and bowed. "Pevil, the resent attack in Cathode has aroused my suspicion that he has gathered followers. I took a, personal look into what happened, and he had six accomplices. I think it's time to crack down even harder on the outlining cities, especially-" "That hardly will be necessary Master Clu. I have found out who these so called accomplices are. And they could even be the key to leaving the grid." Clu raised an eyebrow. Pevil threw paper-like photographs towards Clu dramatically. "Behold Vocaloids." Clu looked at the pictures bewildered. "They're programs from off the grid, that were designed for sing-" "Where did you find these pictures, and the information on these... Creatures!" "What!?" I was stunned how could he say this? Of corse they were on the opposing team, but they are beautiful, the most beautiful programs with the most graceful voices. And how did master Clu know about them at all? "These, programs, the Vocaloids, there shouldn't of been any information, no traces of there existence in this world! Tell me, how did you come to find out about them!" "T-The archives, when they entered this world the files must of-" "Flynn, he never truly deleted the files!" "So were the Vocaloids were here, on the grid before?" "No, only there music, but it was symbolizing hope, it was one of my roadblocks to becoming ruler. Hope and freedom have no place in my world!" I nodded. Clu was absolutely correct, these programs could shed some liberal ideas here, if we didn't take immediate action.

Gakupo-
We hurried through the hall ways dodging more guards then before when we entered, and I could sense even more sinister waves here now. My heart was racing and Oliver was getting worried. We turned a corner to find our way out was now blocked. "We have to find another way out." I whispered to Oliver. He shifted stance uneasily. I saw a hanger on the way in, we might be able to get out that way, but I didn't know how heavily guarded it was but it seemed to be our only option. We doubled back, headed towards our new exit. We looked out. It was really well lit, but it was empty. We walked close to the wall, behind a helicopter, incase anyone came in. We were exiting the garage when a voice called out "HEY, you there!"

Beck-
We made it back outside with the software device. We were safe. We found Teto, Gumi, and Katio "Gakupo and Oliver are still inside." Katio said pointing, I nodded. We waited for a good five minuets before we started to worry. And that's when we saw them running from the aircraft hanger. Some of the others started to leave their hiding spots to help retrieve them. But an alarm sounded. Guards ran from the building. "Run!" I heard Gakupo shout, waving his hand. At that Gumi instinctively grabbed my arm and bolted for the exit. My heart was racing, but that's when I heard IA yell "I'll draw their fire!" I glanced back to see Teto and Katio running behind us, and IA jumping on a light jet, did she even know how to pilot one of them? I was growing scared, I've never had so much at stake. I looked forward again we were cutting our way to the gate now. I saw IA in the light jet zoom over us, pursued by four others. Once through the gate we spawned our bikes and rode as fast as we could.

IA-
I took to the skies, having brought four tag-alongs with me, I was hoping to pull more guards away from my friends, but no matter these suckers would have to do. After all being in the air is my favorite thing. "Try and catch me boys!" I called as I waved back at them. One of the jets pulls up beside me, and I watch as he flicks a switch, and a light trail forms behind him. I do likewise, crushing one of my followers. "Baka." I laugh as I race ahead. I fly over a body of water with cliffs jutting out periodically. I raced in between two of them, and begin weaving around the rocks. After some twisting and turning I eventually squeeze one pursuer behind me, between my light trail and a rock. Ripping off his jets wings and sending him plummeting to the water below. I look around, where was the other two? I turn a corner up ahead to see one headed straight for me.

Gumi-
After ridding ourselves of all of the guards who followed us, we hid ourselves in a crevice that overlooked some water. And that's when we saw IA's jet. She dodged behind some rocks and one went around to cut her off, but it was to late for either one of them. They collided. An explosion of pink and orange filled the sky and our gasps and cries followed.

Oliver-
When Gakupo told everyone to run, we could of made it until I tripped. He still had a ways to go, but he could of made it out safely, but... he came back for me. That's when they got us. We fought really hard, but there were just to many of them. They grabbed me first, then three of them stopped Gakupo. Tears rolled down my cheeks. They drug us into what seemed to be a throne room. There were so many evil people. But one face stood out as he turned around. Pevil. "Well, well, look what the cat drug in." "Actually sir we drug them in." Pevil put his hand to his forehead trying to ignore the comment. A man dressed in black and glowing yellow whom was sitting on a 'throne' now stood up and put his hands behind his back, raising an eyebrow. "Let's see here if I've got this right, you're-" he started reaching for my helmet, I jerked violently but he pulled it off. "Oliver." He said throwing my helmet to the ground. I was shocked, how did they know, was it because he had ran into us before? "Surprised Gakupo? He said turning his head to face him. Then Pevil slipped two fingers under the glass of Gakupo's helmet and slipping it off. "We found everything we need to know about you, within the depths our archives. But we don't know by what means you got here." He started to reach for my disk, I squirmed a bit, Beck said not to let them read our disks under any circumstances. As he flashed a wicked grin, I inhaled as much as I could. He showed it to me triumphantly. But that's when I sang out my highest note, higher then ever before, shattering my disk, and hurting everyones ears standing in front of me. Gakupo shot me a surprised glance as Pevil peals his hands from his ears. "Why you-!" He said socking my cheek, and ripping my bandages from my face. "NO!" I shriek trying to hide my face in my shoulder. I hear Gakupo violently shift. More tears streak my face. "What's wrong boy?!" Pevil laughs coldly . 'I'm not just a child.' I tell myself, I try to lunge at Pevil with all my strength gnashing my teeth. But I'm not strong enough to brake free. Pevil's face goes white, and so does the mens' face behind Pevil. "T-Take the child to the prison hold!" I kick and scream as they drag me away.

Kaito-
We just stand in silence until realization sets in. "Katio, what do we do?" Teto whispers. Gumi looks at me with big wet eyes. "Why are you looking at me-" "because your 'Ni-san'." "Listen, Beck and Gakupo were in charge. Just because I'm 'Ni-san' doesn't mean I'm the one you should go to!" I feel tears starting to well up in my own eyes. "What is 'Ni-san'?" Beck looks at me stunned. I sigh, and run my fingers through my hair. "It means I'm the first born Japanese (male), 'Ni-san'.meening big brother" "First born...?" "Yes, I was the very first Japanese male Vocaloid created, and I had to watch over all the programs after me with Leon, until Gakupo came along. I was never the man for the job. I act just like a kid, I can't take care of everyone, I just don't know how." Beck seemed to take the news well enough to take charge again. "Alright, I'm headed back to rescue Gakupo and Oliver, you guys can either go ahead, or come back with me." We all dried our eyes and agreed to head back to the capital.

Gakupo-
After they drug Oliver away they turned their attention back to me. A man walked out from the corner from behind Pevil, I was most definitely getting bad waves from him. "So, Gakupo, let's see what your disk has to say?" He said walking towards me. "Sure, if you can find it." I said almost laughing. He was taken back by my comment, but when he went to reach for my disk, he couldn't find it. "Where is it?!" He spat at me. "I got rid of it before we got here. Do you think I would jeopardize the safety of my friends?" "What were you doing here anyway?!" I squint, I wasn't going to tell them anything. "Let's just cut the information out of him!" Pevil screamed reaching for his own disk. The man grabbed Pevil's arm in mid swing. "What are you doing Dyson?!" Pevil yelled at him. "We can't kill him, we don't know what will happen if we do." Pevil snatches back his arm. "Dyson is correct, and I believe he is of better use to us alive. He will eventually talk." Clu said walking towards us. I saw Clu about to signal someone, so I spoke up. "You said you learned about us from the archives." They starred intently and Pevil rolled his eyes. "I thought you already knew about us." I said directly to Clu. He raised an eyebrow, intrigued. "What gave you that impression?" He ask slyly. "When meeting with Tron, he said that he, Flynn and you had already experienced our music." "Tron is dead!" Pevil spat kicking me in the stomach, bringing me to my knees. "...How else would I of known?" I asked. Pevil sneered "This is impossible!" A guard with a gnash on his arm came running in. "Master Clu, she and the others have perished." "IA" I whispered so quietly. Clu and Dyson shifted a bit, but Pevil smiled smugly. "Pevil, take him away for intaragation, and come back in 15 minuets." Clu ordered. "With pleasure." As they dragged me away I heard Clu and Dyson whispering. I had a feeling they were going to talk about things they didn't want Pevil to know.
