~Ze Story~7th thread on ETF~(See inside for the continuation/logs from Ze Story: LIVE!)
-NOTICE-
Recently, the thread glitch forced us to continue Ze Story temporarily in a Chatzy (titled Ze Story: LIVE). Thankfully, we saved every last post we made there, so nothing at all was lost.
Now that the glitch has apparently been corrected, we can continue here on ETF again. In the following two posts, I will post the logs that fill the gap between the last post on Thread 6 and the first post to be made here. (It's too big for one post, so I had to separate it into two parts.)

Kaito: *Checks the time* ... It's... About 9:30. o.o; ... I suppose time flew while we were occupied.
Gumi: *Is dozing off* <__>;;
Meiko: Huh. o.o; ... Should we start heading home, then??
Kaito: Probably... 3; ... *Gets up* *Looks at Rin, then Len* Really, this was a pleasant visit, you two. :3
Len: *Dips head in response* *Slightly-quiet voice* Glad you enjoyed it... úwù;
Meiko: *Also gets up* o.o;
Luka: *Slowly gets up, as well*
Gumi: I-I'd better get going, too... ... *Slowly gets up, rubbing her eyes* <.>;; ... Sorry about ruining your day, guys... ,ú.ù;;,</3 *Sniffle* ... Bye, guys... *Slowly drags her feet to the door with her head down, sniffling*
Len: o.o; Wait...! *Gets up and scurries over to Gumi* You seem kind of tired... Someone should probably go with you. ó.ò;
Gumi: *Stops and looks over at Len* H-huh...? é.è; ... I-I guess you're right... But everyone's too scared of me nowwww... ;-;</3
Len: *Glances back at the others for a moment* ... ó.ò; ... *Looks back at Gumi* I could go... óvò; We could even take the Road Roller, if you want~
Gumi: R-really...? ;-; ... Y-you're not afraid I'll go and turn into a vicious monster...?
Len: Yeah... You shouldn't go on your own if you're really tired. óvò; ... And... I-I'm sure it'll be alright.
Gumi: *Sniff* ;-; ... Oh, Len; thank you...! *Huggles* That's so super-thoughtful...!
Len: *Is huggled* No problem... úwù;♪ ... *Looks outside through a nearby window* ... Guess we should go before it gets really late, huh? ówò;
Gumi: Yeah... *Yaaaaaawn* <.>;; *Slowly strolls to the door*
(The rest of mine, save for Rin, of course, also prepare to go)
(As do mine)
Len: *Scurries to the door and opens it for Gumi* ówò;♪
Gumi: *Dips her head in thanks to Len as she passes by* úwù;♪ *Pootles to the Road Roller*
Len: ówò;♪ *Strolls to the Road Roller alongside Gumi, hopping into the driver's seat once they reach it*
Gumi: *Climbs up into the passenger's seat, nearly losing her grip and slipping once* <.>;! ... *Nestles in with a little sigh*
Len: *Glances over to make sure Gumi is safely seated* ... *Starts pootling along*
Gumi: *Sleepily watches the scenery as they drive* =v=;♪ ... *Begins dozing off* <.>;♪ *Yaaaawrn*
Len: *Drives along very carefully* óvò;♪
(*They reach Gumi's house after a little while*)
Gumi: *Is fast asleep by now, all nestled in and comfy* u.u♪
Len: *Looks over at Gumi* ... óvò; *Gently nudges her arm*
Gumi: u.u;♪ ... ... *Slooooowly awakens* Hmm...? *Wipes an eye* /).>; *Yaaaaaaaaaaawrn* *Sleepily looks around* =.=;?
Len: *Motions to Gumi's house* We're here... ówò
Gumi: ... Ohhhh... *Yaaaawn* <.>;♪ ... So... See you, Len... Thanks again so much for helping me get back alright... ... Goodnight. úwù;♥ ... *Slips out of the seat and begins to climb down* *Loses her grip once and begins to fall, but, randomly, simply begins hovering down instead as if nothing happened* ... *Yawn* *Strolls to the door, almost tripping a couple of times, but ultimately making it inside safely*
Len: *Dips his head* Anytime... ówò;♥ ... Goodnight~ ... ... *Sort of notices when Gumi hovers down* o.o;!? ... *Shrugs a little* n.n;; ... *Keeps waiting around until she makes it inside safely, then carefully starts driving back home*
(Back at the Kagamines')
Len: *Slides out of the Road Roller and heads to the door* *Enters the house* Hey, Rin; I'm back~ ówò
Rin: *Was sitting on the living room sofa* o.o! Lenny!! owo *Goes over to greet him* HI! 8D Were you OK?? ... You look OK!! OwO *Hugs* I'M GLAD.
Len: *Is hugged* *Chuckles* Yep... I'm fine~ >3<♪
Rin: GOOD. If crazy creepy Gumi would have hurt you, I WOULD HAVE CRUSHED THE WORLD. CRUSHED IT. D8
Len: o-o; ... Thankfully, she just seemed like her usual self the whole time. owò;
Rin: Ohhhhh. o.o ... Er, I guess, after the scariness earlier, I kinda forgot about her usual self. nwn;; Eheheh.
Len: Eheh... n3n;; ... *Awkwardly trails off at the thought of earlier*
Rin: o__o? Eh? ... 'SUP, Lenny??
Len: *Snaps out of it* Huh...?! o-o; ... Oh... I just started thinking about everything that happened earlier, I guess. ú.ù;
Rin: Oh. Awwww! 3x; Yeah, that was scary. Gumi was acting nothing AT ALL like her usual self. And some spooky stuff started happening near the end, too. e.e;
Len: Mhm... e-è; How do you think that kept happening? ... Or, more importantly, WHY did it keep happening? <.>;
Rin: I dunno... Something's definitely up, though. She would NEVER act like that naturally. O__O;;
Len: Yeah. 3x; That just isn't Gumi... ... *Trails off again, deep-in-thought*
Rin: ... Eh... We should probably try to take our minds off of it for tonight, though. D: We don't wanna be up all night with nightmares!!
Len: ... You're right. ú.ù; Maybe we should get a little something to eat before bed... Or even just a glass of milk, maybe.
Rin: Yeah, let's do that. 3; C'mon... *Heads to the kitchen*
Len: *Nods* 3x; *Slowly pootles along after Rin*

- Continuation, part 2:
- (*The next morning*)
Len: *Is asleep, having a dream of some kind* u.u ... >.>; ... *Suddenly wakes up with a jolt* O___O;;
Rin: *Is sitting right there, just like every morning* O.O! Whoa, Lenny! Nightmare?! D:
Len: *Slightly startled* O.O;; ... ... *Calms down after a moment, realizing what's going on* Oh, R-Rin... ... Yeah. Dx;
Rin: AwwwwwWWWWW!! Dx; *Insta-huggle* It's OK; it's morning now, so you don't have to worry about that. ... *Doesn't want to admit it, but she had nightmares, too* o3o;
Len: R-right... o.o;; ... *Returns the huggle*
Rin: Well, it's been a rough night. WE NEED FOOD. Dx; Let's go get brekkie; we'll probably both feel better. *Gets up and heads out*
Len: Yeah... Dx; *Slides out of bed and scurries along after Rin*
(*Bloop of time*)
Rin: *Is munching sweet cereal, wide-eyed* O.O
Len: *Is nibbling on the same kind of cereal, also wide-eyed* O.O ... *Is totally silent, having no idea what to say*
Rin: *Has no idea what to say, either* o___O; ... Uhhhh... SO. ... Good... cereal?
Len: *Munch* *Munch* o-o ... Yeah...! It's really... uhm... sweet!
Rin: *Munch* ... Sweeeeeeeet... O3O;
(*A sudden, rapid little knocking can be heard at the door*)
Len: *Hears the knocking* O.O! ... I'll, uh... I'll be right back. *Hops up and scuttles to the door* ... *Slooooooooowly opens it, peeking outside* o-o;? ... Yesssssssss...??
(*An extremely strange, unnerving sound, like a voice of some sort, can be heard faintly echoing throughout the outside air*)
Ryuto: *Is standing there* *Looks up* ... LAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!!! OvO;;;; *Darts forward, holding his arms out*
Rin: *Hears* ... IS THAT RYUTO?? O.O;
Len: *Completely surprised* Ryuto?! O___O; ... *Bends down and holds his arms out for Ryuto* ... *Hears the sound coming from outside* e_____e;;
Ryuto: *Hugs* Lan! Somefing SCARY is going on!! Dx;
Rin: *Comes* *Hears the background noise* o___________o;; ... What. Is. Going. ONNNN?? D8;
Len: Wh-... what is it, Ryuto...? O-O;; What's going on...??
Ryuto: This mornin'... Gu was GONE!!! OmO;; She was not in the house! ANYWHERE!
Rin: GONE?! O_____O;;
Ryuto: Yah! So I went here! ... And I saw no people on the walk!! D8 And there's the scary sound, too... 3x;
Len: Really...?? O-O; ... *Gets a really bad feeling* Dx;;
Ryuto: Yah!! 3x; I'm afraiiiiid... Think she's OK?? ;~;
Len: *Is silent for a moment, both out of shock and not quite knowing how to respond to Ryuto* ... I-... I hope so... <.>;;
Rin: Should we go look for her?? ... I think we SHOULD, right?! D8;
Len: Yes. D8; *Instantly gets up* *Is about to go running outside at that moment, but stops to look back at the others* ... Are you ready to go right now?? o-ò;
Rin: *Very quickly nods* O.O;; *Dashes outside*
Ryuto: *Sticks right by Len's side* <m>;;
Len: *Zooms outside with no hesitation* O.O;;;
(*Everything is eerily quiet and calm, save for the constant background noise*)
Rin: *Climbs up into the Road Roller* Wh-where do we start...?? OmO;;
Len: *Also climbs in* *Helps Ryuto up, as well* Uhmm... ... H-how about the... park?? O.O;;
Ryuto: *Climbs up with Len's assistance* *Gets in a seat* OmO;;
Rin: Sounds good to me. D8; *Takes off*
Len: *Looks around outside in search of Gumi as drive along* O____O;?
Rin: *Eventually notices the eerie sound drawing near* O___O;;!!! ... Guys... I think we're getting close to whatever's making that sound. OmO;;
Len: *Also notices* OmO;; I think so, too... I'm guessing we should follow it??
Rin: P-probably... O_____O;; ... *Hesitantly drives in its direction*
Ryuto: *Sinks into his seat* <m>;;;;;
(*Suddenly, the sound changes from a sustained yell to an extremely harsh, growling scream*)
Rin: DDDDDDDDDDD8;;; *Trembles slightly for a moment, but keeps driving*
Ryuto: *Frantically covers his ears* ;m; Yaaaaaaaaahhhhh...!!!!
Len: *Also trembles* <_____>;; ... *Sloooowly peeks outside again* O-O;;;?
(*It's still as unsettlingly quiet as ever outside, aside from the noise*) (*The sound once again changes, this time from a scream to a twisted, multi-toned laugh*)
Rin: *FLOORS IT, fighting against every ounce of fear inside of her* OmO;;;;;;
Len: *Stares ahead with extremely-wide eyes, sticking to his seat for dear life* OmO;;;;;
(*A great amount of fire can be seen rising from a large, open area*)
Rin: *Sees* O_____O;;; ... That's... gotta be the place. eme;;;; ... *Carefully drives there*
Len: *Nods slightly* ... *Just staaaaaares at the fire in horror* O______O;;;
(*As they approach, a sound vaguely like twisted music begins to grow louder*)
Rin: *Finally arrives there*
(*There's a sea of people gathered in front of a stage, just staring ahead blankly*)
Rin: O___O;; That's a lot of people... ... ... What are they staring at like that?! They look hypnotized!! D8;
Len: Whoa... O_____O;; ... I-... I don't know...! *Tries to spot whatever has the people's attention*
(*The stage is very, very far away*)
Rin: Gah; I can't see from here!! Dx;
(*Suddenly, the laugh can be heard again*)
????: *Booming, multi-toned, horrifyingly-familiar-sounding voice* Ohohhhhh!! Who's that I spy past my sea of mindless insects?! Let me... help you, friends.
(*The vast swarm of people all move out of the way at once, forming a path that the Road Roller can drive through*)
????: ... Come.
Rin: *Startled* O___O;;;?! ... O-okayyyy... *Gulp* ... *Carefully drives ahead*
Ryuto: *Is shuddering and horrified* OmO;;;;;;; B-B-B-B-BUT...!!
Len: O________O;;;?! *Gulp* ... Th-... that... voice... *Trails off* *Just keeps watching the path ahead, shuddering*
Rin: I knowwwww... O.O;; I-it kinda sounded like-... B-but it was so-...
(*The way Rin came in becomes blocked by a towering wall of fire*) (*Actually, the entire area appears to be fenced-in by such a wall*)
Rin: WHOA. O.O;; ... *Keeps driving* *Makes it to the end of the path*
(*A small group of twisted, evil creatures in chains can be seen towards the back of the stage, playing similarly twisted-looking instruments*)
(*Suddenly, a massive wall of fire goes up in front of the creatures*)
????: FAAAAANTASTIC. Good morniiiiiiiing...!! So glad you could find your way here.
Len: *Quickly looks around at the surrounding walls of fire* O.O;;;;; ... *Sounding quite scared* Uhmm... Wh-... what's going onnnnnn...?! DDDx;;
Gumi: *Finally reveals herself, walking right through the fire towards the front of the stage, completely unharmed*
(*She looks completely and frighteningly different from usual, being even taller than Haku, having vivid, fiery, yellow-and-orange eyes with narrow pupils, shadow-like hair, and a purple-and-black, shadowy version of her usual outfit, complete with billowing, shadowy "frills"*
Gumi: *Grins, revealing sharper teeth, as she raises her arms and the wall of fire behind her goes down* uwu;♪
Ryuto: DDD8; G-G-G-GU?!?!?!
Rin: IS THAT REALLY GUMI?!?!?! OmO;;;;;
Len: *Practically speechless* OmO;;;;; ... I-... I think it is... *Gulp* <m>;;;
Gumi: Yeeeeeaaaaahhhhh; it's me~ >ヮ<;;♪ Again... glad you could make it. >w>;;
Rin: WHAT HAPPENED?!?! OmO;;;
Len: Y-yeah... What happened...?! OmO;; ... What's even going on, here?! DDx;
Gumi: What's going on?? ... I FINALLY MADE IT. THAT'S WHAT. ÒwÓ;;
Rin: Made it?! WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT?! DDD8;;
Gumi: All this time, I've been kicked around and stepped on. Everybody got in my way and pushed me down. INCLUDING YOU. >m>;; ... But now, I've finally made it to the top. Not even Miku can get in my way now. èwé;; THEY ALL LOVE MEEEEEEEEE!!
(*The crowd cheers, as if on command*)
Len: *Shrinks down in his seat* O________O;;; ... B-but... tons of people already did, Gumi...! DDD8; Before any of this happened!
Rin: YEAH!! D8;
Gumi: STOP. I don't want to hear it. You're just trying to make me feel better. >m>;; You just can't accept the fact that I'm ABOVE YOU NOW...!! THERE'S NOTHING YOU CAN DOOOOOO!! *Calls forth great blasts of fire from the stage floor, sending them billowing into the air* ÒヮÓ;;;♪ *Hovers up into the air with her hands surrounded by flames* *Belts out a vicious death growl as she shoots more streams of fire from her hands over everyone's heads*
Rin: *Feels the heat of the flames blazing overhead* OmO;;; THAT IS SO NOT HOLOGRAPHIC FIRE.
Len: *Also feels it* OmO;;;;; *Stares up at Gumi in sheer disbelief, horrified*
Gumi: *Laughs evilly and lands* >3
Ryuto: G-GUMIIIIIIIII!! ;m;
Gumi: Awww; don't cry, Ryuto... <w<;; Why don't we laugh down at the others together?! *Levitates him onto her shoulder* >ヮ<;;;
Ryuto: *Just sits there, frozen in place* O_______O;;;;;
Len: Ryuto...!! O___O;; ... *Whispers to Rin* W-what are we supposed to do, nowww?? émè; You don't think she'd hurt Ryuto, do you...??
Rin: OmO;; I-I-I... have no idea. eme;; S-she's all evil and crazy now, b-but she's still... kinda... Gumi inside... riiiiight...?!
Gumi: *Looks over at Ryuto and gives him a single nod of her head* >w<;;♪ C'mon; you can watch from on-stage~ *Flies up into the air again* *Signals for her twisted band to start playing* >8DDDDD
(*They back her up with a relentless blast beat and repeatedly-thrashed, off-tuned power chords*)
Gumi: *Echoing death growling, sounding like a furious dog of darkness barking repeatedly* >o>;;;
Len: ... Right... P-probably... émè;; ... *Shrinks down even more when Gumi's twisted band starts playing again* <m>;;;;; ... S-she doesn't seem to be snapping out of it, this time, though...
Rin: Yeah... D8; She has it REALLY BAD this time!!
Ryuto: *Is covering his ears* >.>;;;
Len: I hope it isn't... p-permanent... /)m(\;;</3 ... The REAL Gumi can't be trapped in there forever, can she...?
Rin: NoooooOOOOOOO!! D8; There has to be a way to save her!! We just have to FIND IT!!
Gumi: *Finally stops screaming* Ahhhhhh... I'm bored now. >w>;; *Lands* *Calls to the crowd in a growl* LEAVE!! >3<;;
(*The crowd quickly disperses, looking as blank as ever*)
Len: *Nods and whispers to Rin again* Th-think we should look for the others...? Maybe they could help us... ó.ò;;;
Rin: Yeah... OmO;;; *Quietly* W-what about Ryuto, though...?! Sh-should we really just leave him here with her...?! D8;
Len: I don't know... O-O;; It doesn't look like he's actually in danger... But, at the same time, I'd be pretty scared to leave him here. Dx;;
Ryuto: *Staaaaaaaaares at Rin and Len* OmO;;;;;;
Gumi: *Reaches up and pats Ryuto's back* uwu;; ... *Opens her eyes, snarls, and hisses at the Kagamines* DID I NOT SAY LEAVE?! DDD8< BE GONE!!!!
Rin: EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEP!!!! OmO;;;
Len: *Yelps* OmO;;; SORRYYYYY...!!! /)m(\;; ... *Nervously glances over at Rin for a moment* *Quietly* I think we're just making her madder... DDDx;;;
Rin: omO;;; I-I-I think so...!!! *Looks up at Ryuto with a face that just screams "SORRY"* Ó.Ò;;; *Stomps on the gas, does a 180-degree turn, kicking up mud, and takes off like mad*
Ryuto: DDD8;; RIIIIN! LAAAAAAAAAN!! ;A; *Reaches out*
Gumi: Shhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Settle down, Ryuto. >w>;; *Takes him off of her shoulder and gives him a cuddle* I'm not gonna hurt you.
Ryuto: émè;;? ... *Just stays still, afraid of Gumi's newfound extreme, dark powers*
Len: *Stares back at the stage for a moment as they take off* é.è;;</3 ... *Quickly goes back to staring ahead*
Rin: *Notices Len as she's driving* D: ... Don't worry, Lenny; we'll find a way to bring the real Gumi back. ómò; I know she's all scary right now, but she has to be the same old Gumi deep down! She HAS to! I promise...!!
Len: *Nods slowly* é.è; ... 'K-kay... *Just keeps staring ahead*
Rin: :c ... Remember; that's not the real her... You know that. Dx; *Easily exits the area, as the walls of fire have died down*
Len: Yeah... I-I know. ú.ù; The real Gumi's gotta be in there, somewhere; you're right... *Determined* We just have to try as hard as we can to find her... u___ú;
Rin: *Is driving along* ... *Gets a call on her headset* O.O;! Uh, h-hang on. *Pulls over, then answers it* Hellooooo??
Miku: RIN! Are you and Len, like, alright?! O____O;
Rin: MIKU. :D ... Yeah, we're OK. o.o; *Leans over and loudly whispers to Len* IT'S MIKU.
Len: *Whispers back* Miku...? Is she OK?? o.o;
Rin: *Goes back to Miku* Are YOU OK?? O.O;
Miku: Yeah... Just way freaked-out! D: A lot of the others are here, too, and we're, like, gathering around and talking about what's going on and stuff. Think you two could, like, make it here?
Rin: OF COURSE. Lenny and I will be right THERE! O.O
Miku: GREAT. :D Like, be careful and stuff. See yaaaa! *Beep*
Rin: ... We're going to Miku's. Everyone's there talking about the situation. We've gotta tell her and the others about what we saw. O___O
Len: *Nods* OK; sounds good to me. o.o;
Rin: *TAKES OFF SQUEALING*
(*Later*)
Rin: *Screeches to a halt outside of Miku's mansion* OK; we got here... Let's get inside, FAST! The creepy atmosphere out here's really starting to get to me!! Dx; *Dashes to the door and rapidly knocks*
Len: *Dashes alongside Rin* *Waits, also very unnerved by the atmosphere and everything* o_______o;;
Miku: *Peeks out through the little peephole before carefully opening the door* GUYS! Good to see you, like, unharmed and everything! n.n; Quick! Get in!
Rin: Same to you! O.O; Thanks!! *Zips inside*
Len: Yeah...! O.O; *Also zips inside*
(*There are very, very, VERY many Vocaloids and others there, all gathered around and talking*)
Rin: WHOA. O.O; It looks like literally EVERYBODY IS HERE.
Len: Whoa... O.O; You're right!
Miku: *Motions for the twins to follow as she joins the rest again*
Kaito: *Notices Rin and Len* o.o! Ahhh! There you are! We were beginning to worry.
Meiko: GUYS! 8O I was worried sick!!
Len: *Quickly follows Miku* *Notices Kaito and Meiko* Hey...! ovò; Er... Sorry about worrying you like that... ... We kind of got caught-up in something. <.>;;
Lily: Hey, speaking of being worried about those who haven't arrived yet... I hope Gumi's getting here alright. D:
Miku: Me, too... O___O; Buuuut I just called her, like, right before Rin and Len got here. She sounded, like, totally rough, like she had a sore throat. D: Still, she said she'd be right on her way!!
Rin: SHE SAID WHAT?! OmO;;;
Len: O______O;; *Can barely respond* ... Sh-she's... c-coming...? Here...?? eme;;;
Mew: *Tut* All that's going on currently, and all the potential danger, and you're worried about catching her cold...? *Headshake* Such selfishness... I'd expected better from you. Dx
Len: o-o; Wait; huh...?? No, it's nothing like that! Honest...! Dx; We only sound so scared because she's... W-well... ... *Is finding it very hard to say this* Sh-she's kind of the one... causing all of this... <m>;;
Prima: *Gasp* O.O(\;
Mew: How could you SAY something like that, child?! Dx; Blaming dear, innocent Gumi for this frightful darkness...
Miriam: *Is speechless* O__O;
Mew: That's... quite enough. Please, I want to hear no more of this. Dx;
Rin: D8; BUT REALLY! IT'S REALLY HER-...
Mew: ENOUGH! >.> We won't have you throwing such absurd accusations around!
Len: ... B-but-...! ... *Shrinks back a little* 333x;
Luka: *Steps in* Now, just wait a moment... o.ô We shouldn't go doubting this possibility right away, everyone.
(*MAJOR GASPING*)
Miriam: O___O; ... L-Luka...
Mew: O.O; *Is speechless* What are you saying...?! Of all those present, you were the last one I'd expect to say something so... so... ... I'm afraid I have no words. Dx;
Luka: *Calmly nods* I realize that it SOUNDS completely absurd... But I assure you, we wouldn't even consider this without some sort of a solid reason. u-u
(*Silent stares everywhere*)
Rin: *Looks extremely grateful for Luka standing up for them, but remains silent, not wanting to interrupt* O.O
Kaito: ... Go on, Luka... O.O
Len: *Same as Rin* O.O
Luka: *Dips her head in thanks to the group for allowing her to speak* ... *Clears throat* You see, something troubling started happening recently, concerning Gumi... Just sometime yesterday, actually. Her, I, Rin, Len, Kaito, Meiko and Haku were all spending some time at a shopping mall in an effort to cheer her up, as she had been feeling rather down at the time. ... Now, everything seemed fine, at first; we had stopped into a store to browse for a moment... Though during that time, she briefly began to act very... different. o.o;
Mew: Different...? ... I fail to see how a mere change in personality has to do with something as mysterious and threatening as this. o___o
Luka: It wasn't just that one time, either... It went on to happen several more times that day, as well. o__o ... And, while it does sound quite far-fetched, there is one thing leading me to believe it has some connection to the current situation.
Lily: And that is...? O.o
Luka: ... This may sound somewhat ridiculous at first, but... Something strange appeared to be following us, yesterday. It resembled a butterfly, but something just felt... different... about it. o___o
Rin: Yeah, and it seemed to really like Gumi for some reason. O.O;
Mew: *Still not entirely sure* o___o;
Miriam: Peculiar... o.o;
Miku: That is, like, totally bizarre... o___O; But do you really think it-...
(*Suddenly, a slightly rough, echoing whisper can be heard calling Miku's name*)
"Mikuuuu... Come out..."
Miku: O___O;; ... *Slowly gets up* ... Hang on... *Carefully walks towards the door and cracks it open* ... *Steps outside*
Rin: NooooooOOOOOOO!! OmO;; *Runs after Miku*
Len: OmO;; *Rushes after Miku and Rin*
Luka: O.O; ... *Quiet voice* Is that-...? ... *Follows*
Rin: *Reaches out, takes Miku by the shoulder, pulls her back inside, and slams the door shut* THAT WAS HER, MIKU!! D8;
Miku: Who?! Gumi?! O______O;;
Rin: YES!! DDD8;
Gumi: Miku...! Come out...! CoMe... OuT...!!
(*The ground starts shaking slightly*)
Miku: O_____O;; ... But... she sounds, like... TOTALLY EVIL!
Len: I know it's really, really hard to believe... B-but that was definitely her. e-è;;
Luka: *Stares at the door, silent* ... o.o;
Miku: B-but I didn't even see anyone out there... O___O;;
Rin: ... e_______e;; ... S-still, we KNOW that was her... 'Cause we saw her earlier.
Miku: YOU DID? O.O
Len: ... Y-yep... We did. And she was nothing like her usual self... <.>;;
Luka: *Turns her attention to the twins, listening* o-o;
Rin: She looked EXTREMELY SCARY. O___O;; She was crazy-tall, with shadowy hair, fiery eyes, and FANGS! FANGS!! ... Also, her outfit was all wispy and dark-looking... ... Anyway, she was up on a stage, singing... or screaming... to an ocean of people... A LITERAL OCEAN. LITERALLY. AND THEY ALL LOOKED LIKE ZOMBIES. D8 It was sooooo CREEPY!!
Len: *Nods quickly* O.O;; A-also, it looked like she was able to just... CREATE fire! Whenever she felt like it...!
Luka: Goodness... o____O; ... So she must have completely transformed overnight...
Rin: YEAH!! DDD8; I dunno how, but now, all of a sudden, she's a huge, vengeful, fire-throwing, screaming MONSTER!! Dx; ... She told us that we got in her way in the past, stealing her popularity, but now she can't be stopped. She thinks we're all her enemies, guys. 3x;
Len: Yeah... /)m(\;</3
Luka: I see... *Trails off, looking thoughtful* o.ò; ... There must be SOMETHING we can do about it... It's just a matter of finding out what that something actually IS. ... Maybe, though, we'll be able to find it if we all put our minds together...
Rin: Yeah, probably! D8; Maybe we can find a way to wake up the real, good Gumi that's trapped inside?! Maybe she'd push away the evil one!! O.O
Luka: Mhm... Maybe...! o.o I think it would be a good idea to try that, actually. It would certainly take something big, though, I imagine... It sounds like the true Gumi is very deeply sealed away within her.
Rin: Wait, I was ON TO SOMETHING?? OwO ... Aww ye~ >w>; ... *Ahem* Sorry. 3x ... Yeah, it would probably be really, really, REALLY HARD. o.o;
(*Another tremor*)
Gumi: COME OUT...!! D8< If you don't come out, I'm gonna just come in... You don't want me to just come in. Be thankful I'm even giving you a chance here...
Luka: o____o; ... We'd best come up with something soon... ... Until then, perhaps we should find a way to distract her?
Miku: *Steps forward again* Guys, I think I should, like... just go out. D: We don't wanna make her, like, madder!!
Rin: O__O;; B-but...!
Miku: Hey, maybe if we just, like, cooperate for now, she won't hurt us. Maybe. Dx ... I'm going. *Pushes open the door and steps out*
Luka: o__o; OK... But we'll be right here, prepared to help you at any moment if you need it. *Stands right by the door and watches*
Rin: Yeah. O.O; G-good luck.
Miku: *Stands as tall as she can* O-OK, Gumi... I'm, like, here. o.o; W-what is it...?
Gumi: *Is still nowhere to be seen for now, but can be heard laughing* *APPEARS IN MID-AIR WITH AN EXPLOSIVE BURST* *Has large wings made of fire* MIKUUUUUU! It's so good to see you... èwé;
Miku: O___O;; *Takes a step back* G-G-GUMI...!! Y-YOU'RE-...
Gumi: *Cuts Miku off* Spectacular? POWERFUL? *Menacing chuckle* Yes, I am. I'm so glad you noticed. >w>;
Luka: *Gasps a little upon seeing Gumi* O.O; ... *Takes a tiny step outside*
Rin: D8; *Joins Luka in heading outside*
Ryuto: *Soon arrives, too, riding in a little wagon pulled by some kind of dark, twisted dog* *Stays totally still* eme;;
Gumi: *Sees the others* D8< ... So... How's the PARTY, Miku...?? ... Any luck coming up with a plan on how to stop me?! èmé;
Miku: O________O;; U-uhm...!!
Len: *Nervously heads outside with Luka and Rin* O.O;;
Luka: *Staaaaares up at Gumi, trying not to let her nervousness show* ... No. We've been quite unsuccessful... o-ô;
(*The sky suddenly becomes red-orange*)
Gumi: *HAIR TURNS INTO FIRE* *Spreads wings out wide* SO YOU WERE SCHEMING AGAINST ME!! ÒдÓ;;;; YOU CAN'T STAND SEEING THAT I'M NOW GREATER THAN ANY OF YOU COULD EVER HOPE TO BE!!! DDDX<<
Miku: *Terrified* DDD8;; G-Gumi, th-that's not it at all...!!! C-c-calm down...!!!
Luka: O___O;; *Steps closer to Miku* W-wait a moment, Gumi... That is completely untrue! It's just... This is no way to achieve such fame... o-ô;
Gumi: *Isn't listening to a word they say* Don't worry; you have NO HOPE of overcoming me. èwé;;; Have you tried listening to any of your little songs lately...?! ... Hehehe... You'll be super-surprised to instead find that I'm the only name that comes up... NO MATTER WHAT.
Rin: WhaaaaaaaaAAAAAAAT?! OmO;;;
Gumi: WAIT. IT GETS BETTER. >ヮ<;;;; I've taken over EVERYTHING. Your playlists. Your radios. Your TVs. IT'S ALL ME. 24/7. èwé;;;
Len: Y-... You did...?! O.O;; ... *Just gets even more terrified* e-e;;
Luka: H-how did you-...?? O____O; ... *Thinks* Her powers must be incredibly strong...
Gumi: And now, there's just oneeeeeee more little thing I'd like to take over... èvé;;; *Snaps her fingers*
(*An army of twisted, fiery monsters springs up and rushes into Miku's mansion* *They surround the guests within, attempting to force them out* *Many guests come running out*)
Miku: D8; WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!
Gumi: WHAT DOES IT LOOK LIKE?! ÒヮÓ;;
Luka: DDD: ... *Stares intensely, despite feeling quite helpless* o___ó; You can't just take her HOME away from her...!!
Gumi: Oh, but I can...!! >8D YOU'RE SEEING IT HAPPEN!
(*The guests are now standing before the house in a crowd, watching helplessly*)
(*The evil creatures start crawling around the mansion like insects, even crawling out the windows and on the walls*)
Miku: *Watches in total horror* DDD8;
Luka: *Watches helplessly, much like the others, as Miku's mansion is taken over by the evil creatures* Dx;; ... *Turns to Miku and speaks quietly* We should likely seek out somewhere else to gather, temporarily...
Miku: Yeah... Dx; *Looks up at Luka with wide eyes* I-is my house, like... done for?? ÓmÒ;
Luka: o.ò No... You'll get it back, eventually; I promise... *Deep breath* ... We'll find a way to fix all of this. We HAVE to... u.ú;
Miku: OK... ówò;
Rin: Well, first things first. We've gotta get OUTTA HERE!!! DDD8; C'mon!! *Runs away from the mansion*
Miku: Right! Dx; *Runs after Rin, pausing briefly to look back at her house* ;-;
Ryuto: *Reaches out to the others as they pass the wagon he's in* DDD8; *Yells quietly, as not to catch Gumi's attention* Haaaaaaaalp!!
Evil Dog: *Looks suspiciously back at Ryuto* 3<
Luka: *Nods* *Runs after Rin and Miku*
Len: *Follows the others, as well* <.>;;
Meiko: *Passes by Ryuto at that moment* OmO;! ... *Stops* *Quietly walks up to his wagon in an attempt to "rescue" him, glaring at the evil dog as she approaches* 38<
Evil Dog: *Lunges and barks loudly and viciously at Meiko* *Bares fiery fangs* DDD8<<
Ryuto: OmO;;; Shhhh, doggyyyyy!!!
Meiko: *Jumps back* EEP...! OmO;; ... ... *Brave face* *Whispers loudly at the evil dog, still glaring at it* Z-ZIP IT...! emé;;
Evil Dog: *Growls* >m>;; *Leaps powerfully at Meiko, claws-first* DDDDDDD8<<
Ryuto: *Squeals quietly* DDDDD8;;
Meiko: *Is knocked over* Urf...! Om<;; ... *Frantically swats at the evil dog* DDDDD8<
Evil Dog: *Is trying to bite Meiko with its fiery fangs, having her pinned down* >m>;;
Meiko: eme;;; ... *Shouts at the evil dog, still swatting* >o<;;
Luka: *Hears the shouting* o.o;! *Slows down* It sounds like someone's in danger, back there... *Glances at the others* ... I'll catch up with you in a moment. *Runs back in the direction of Miku's house*
Rin: *Surprised* O.O?
Evil Dog: *Hears Luka approaching* *Looks up at her, pins its ears back, growls, and barks while breathing flames* DDD8<;
Ryuto: O.O! *Reaches out to Luka this time* D8;
Luka: *Arrives and sees the unfolding scene* O.O; *Glances at Ryuto with a look that says "one moment"* o.ò; ... *Takes a few steps back and turns her gaze to the evil dog* This way... o-ô;
Evil Dog: ... *Slowly leaves Meiko behind, slinking towards Luka* 3<
Ryuto: *Watches with wide eyes* O.O;
Evil Dog: ... *Suddenly lunges while snarling and spitting small flames* DDD<<
Meiko: O.O;; ... *Sloooowly stands up, trembling a little*
Luka: *Kicks swiftly when the evil dog lunges* >o>;
Evil Dog: *Yelps* *Is sent flying off to the side* <o<;;;
Ryuto: 8OOO ... Yaaayyy, LUKA!! OwO;; *Reaches out*
Gumi: *Has been occupied with leading her creatures during the invasion of Miku's mansion this whole time* *Is beginning to hear the commotion behind her* ...
Meiko: *Stares at Luka with wide eyes* O.O; Th-... Thanks, Luka...
Luka: *Dips her head in response to Meiko* ... *Rushes back to Ryuto and lifts him up* *Starts running, motioning for Meiko to follow*
Meiko: *Nods* O.O; *Quickly follows*
Ryuto: *Gratefully hugs Luka, extremely glad that he was rescued* ,<.>;♪
Rin: *Notices Luka* YOU GOT 'IM! 8D Alright, Luka!! Now let's gooooo~! *ZOOMS*
Luka: *Follows Rin, still carrying Ryuto along* *Glances back to make sure nothing else has spotted them* o.o;
Gumi: *Looks back at the wagon upon hearing the creature's yelp* *Notices that Ryuto is missing* ... D8< *RooooooOOOOOOOAAAAAAARS* *Sends walls of fire shooting up all around the area*
(*The crowd of other Vocaloids and company escape the area*)
Rin: *Scrambles up and hops into the Road Roller* *Smashes a button to make more seats pop up* Get in! QUICK!! D8; SHE SOUNDS REAL MAD!!
Len: *Climbs into the Road Roller after Rin* O.O;;
Luka: *Gets in after the twins* *Places Ryuto in the seat next to her*
Meiko: *Also hops in, still looking a little shaken* omo;;
Miku: *Climbs in, too* *Settles into a seat, sort of sinking down* <.>;;
Kaito: *Joins the rest in the Road Roller, sitting next to Meiko* Phew... u.u;
Ryuto: *Instantly leans over and hugs Luka again* 3x;
Rin: So, where to?! O.O Any ideas??
Luka: *Protectively puts an arm over Ryuto's shoulders* u-ù; ... *Looks at Rin* Maybe we could head to my house...? It is rather secluded... Maybe Gumi won't be able to find us right away.
Rin: Sounds PERFECT. O3O *Takes off* YOU CAN GIVE ME DIRECTIONS AND STUFF.
Ryuto: *Feels safer* *Gets cozy* <.>;♪
Luka: OK. uwù ... You know of those mountains somewhat nearby, I assume?
Rin: Yeeeeaaaaaahhhhh? O.O OK. GOTCHA. IT'S THERE. *Starts heading towards the mountains as quickly as possible* *Is hoping that she's correct*
Luka: Yes... It is there. >v>;
Rin: GOOD. ;xD *Keeps quickly driving forward*
(*Laaaaater* *They arrive*)
Luka: *Climbs out of the Road Roller* Ah... Hopefully we can get some planning done, here. u.u;
Len: *Hops out* ... *Eyes widen at the sight of Luka's house, which is surrounded by many lush plants and such* O.O;
Rin: *Bounces down* *Is also extremely impressed by the mansion* 8OOO
Miku: *Climbs down and joins the others* Ooooh... it's so prettyyyy...! 8O ... I think we could, like, get some serious thinking done here. For sure.
Ryuto: *Sticks by Luka's side* *Staaaaaares at the house* OoO
Meiko: *Climbs down* *Stares at Luka's mansion in awe* ... 8OOO Niiiiiiice...!
Luka: *Is glad everyone seems to like her house, so far* cx ... Now, let's head inside to continue our earlier discussion. uvù *Calmly walks to the door and goes inside*
(*The rest of mine follow*)
(*Inside*)
Luka: *Takes a seat on a very basic armchair* uwu
Len: *Scurries over to a long sofa* *Sits near one end of it, quietly admiring the surrounding houseplants, miniature fountains and other items scattered about* :O
Rin: *Sits right beside Len* *Also admires the decor* 8O
Ryuto: *Was about to sit right beside Len, but Rin made it to the seat before him* D8 ... *Pouty face* -n-;
Kaito: Yesss... This will be a perfect place to get some thinking done. x3
Meiko: 8O Yeah...
Luka: *Notices Ryuto* ... *Motions to her lap* ovò
Ryuto: *Notices Luka* o-o! ... *Pootles over, then reaches up to be lifted up*
Rin: I wonder if the others will make it here alright... O.O;
Luka: *Lifts Ryuto onto her lap* >v>
Len: Same... O.O; I think they all got away from Miku's place, at least... Riiiiight? e.e;
Ryuto: Thaaaanks. n3n
Rin: I... I THINK so...! o___O;
Kaito: Yes... I saw them all leave the area just in time. x3 They should be fine.
Len: *Phew* OK... Good. n3n;
Meiko: Let's hope they know how to get here...! O__O
Rin: Yeeeeaaaahhh... O.o; ... You might have to call 'em if they don't show up for a while, Luka. xDD
Luka: Mhm... n.n; I'll be sure to, if they don't.
(*A large, nearby decorative jar begins moving slightly, all of a sudden*)
Ryuto: *Notices this* O.O! *Staaaaaares right at it*
Tako Luka: *Climbs out of the jar at that moment* ... *Spots the visitors* owo! *Scurries over to greet them* Hiiii...!
Rin: !8D TAKO LUKA. IT'S BEEN FOREVER. HIIIIIII.
Ryuto: OヮO♪ OCKOPUS!!!
Len: :D Hiiiiii, Tako Luka...!
Meiko: HEYYYYY! 8D Long time no see!!
Tako Luka: >w< I've missed you all...! *Climbs Luka's armchair and sits on an arm* nwn
Ryuto: O.O ... *Sloooowly reaches towards Tako Luka* ... *Pauses halfway and looks over at Luka, unsure if her little creature is OK to pet* O.O?
Luka: *Looks back at Ryuto* ... *Nods reassuringly* x3
Ryuto: OヮO Yaaaaay!! *Instantly turns back to Tako Luka* *Pats her head* >ヮ>♪
Tako Luka: *Appears to enjoy this very much* nwn♪
Ryuto: *Is thrilled* OヮO♪♪
Rin: xDDDD I think he likes your little pal, Luka. O3O
Luka: It seems that way... >v<
Meiko: xDD Who doesn't, though~??
Rin: I KNOW. O3O SHE'S A CUTE. LITTLE. OCTOPUS. THAT TALKS. YOU DON'T JUST SEE SOMETHING LIKE THAT WALKING AROUND EVERYWHERE.
Miku: I knooooowwwwwWWWWW! >ヮ<;
Len: *Nods in agreement* >3<;♪
Luka: That is definitely a rare sight. >w> I don't think I've ever seen anything else quite the same, before...
Tako Luka: *Is still just sitting on the arm of Luka's chair, looking totally relaxed* nwn♪
Rin: oヮo ... Wait. WE'RE GETTING SIDETRACKED. O.O ... Aren't we supposed to be talking about how to deal with Doomi? ... That's so what I'm calling her now, by the way. ewe;
Meiko: OH WOW WE ARE. O.O ... That. Sounds. Perfect. e3e;
Luka: o.o! Right...! We still haven't gotten a good plan, yet...
Kaito: That's true... o.o Alright, so what do we know so far?
Luka: *Thinks* Hmm... u.u ... Well, as I mentioned back at Miku's house, I suspect that this whole thing may have been caused by that strange butterfly somehow taking control of Gumi... *Pauses, looking thoughtful* ... Whatever the cause, though, I do remember some of us forming the beginnings of a plan. :o
Kaito: That's true... :o Didn't we speculate that we could potentially coax the real Gumi out of that evil shell with enough kindness...?
Luka: Yes, we did. :o The only problem, though, is getting her to actually listen to us...
Kaito: Ah, yes... That's proven to be difficult. Dx; She's so angry with us, she tends to ignore whatever we say...
Miku: I think that's, like, the most important part... Getting her attention. o-o
Meiko: Yeahhhh... o.o How are we even supposed to do that? Do we just... bake her a carrot cake or something and hope for the best?? I know how she loves carrots... ... Maybe it could actually work. O3O
Rin: Maaaayyyybeeeee... O3O But what if she just kills the cake with fire? xDDD ... But would Gumi really do that, evil and twisted or not? ô3ô;
Meiko: I dunnooooo... o3o; REAL Gumi really, REALLY loves carrots, so it could've carried over to Doomi...!
Rin: YEAH! >8D Watch; at first, she'll be all "DOOM DOOM DOOM ROOOOOOOOOHR GO AWAY", then we're gonna give her a carrot cake, and she'll be all like "AH MAH GASH. MAH FAVORITE. OM NOM. YAY." O3O
Meiko: And then we'll FINALLY HAVE HER ATTENTION. MAYBE. O3O ... But I still dunno what we're supposed to do, then. o3o;
Miku: Uhhhhh... Sing a song? OwO
Rin: xDDDDD Yeah, then she'll throw us over the horizon for trying to "overthrow her with our music. Blaaaaah." O3O
Meiko: Yeah, probably. O3O
Luka: If that weren't so likely to happen, a song would have been an excellent idea... >v>; We'll just have to find another way to show our kindness, though, I suppose...
Rin: Hmmmm... o-o ... I AM SO STUMPED. D8; What can we do that WOULDN'T make her get all defensive??
Meiko: I have no idea! D8; Carrot cake was literally all I could think of...!
Len: *Has been spacing out for a little while now* o-o; *Is unintentionally missing the discussion as a result*
Rin: *Notices Len* e-e; ... *Snaps her fingers in front of his face* EARTH TO LENNY. REAL THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN THE REAL WORLD. D8
Len: *Snaps out of it* O.O;!? ... *Remembers that they're in the middle of planning* Ehh... S-sorry. /).(\; ... Have we made any progress? e-è;
Rin: The best idea we came up with is to give Doomi a carrot cake to get her to listen to us. o3o Yeeeeeaaaahhhhhh. We have no idea what to do after that.
Len: Oh... omò; *Tries to think of more ideas* What if we tried... Uhmmm... Reminding her of all the good times she had with us before the transformationnnn...? ovò;;
Rin: xDDDDDD Classic Lenny. Classic sappy Lenny.
Kaito: xDD Actually, that might just work.
Len: ;xD ... *Looks at Kaito* You really think so...? O.O
Kaito: Indeed, I do. c: Considering that the true Gumi is rather emotional, such memories could likely trigger a wave of overwhelmingly-warm feelings. This could perhaps overpower the darkness imprisoning her true self... Though it might be difficult to break through that darkness in the first place. We'd have to try very, very hard.
Len: Huh... O.O *Begins to look hopeful*
Luka: *Nods* That does sound rather promising... It could very well work. :o
Kaito: We'd need to figure out what memories exactly could get through to her, though... D: It would need to be something that has a special place in her heart. Perhaps a combination of several such thoughts and memories.
Luka: Mhm... I don't imagine just anything would work. o.o ... I think we should start focusing on searching for something that brings the true Gumi much happiness...
Kaito: Agreed. o.o Does anyone here have any ideas?
Meiko: ... Preeeeetty sure carrot cake won't cut it, huh? o.o
Luka: It likely won't... n.n;
Len: Oh...! O.O What about Ryuto...??
Ryuto: Meeeeee? o-o
Kaito: Yes...! :O She adores her dear little brother...! x3 I'm sure he'll play some role in this.
Luka: Yes; excellent idea... :O
Len: *Feels even more hopeful* ovo;
Meiko: Wowww, we're on FIRE, now! 8D ... Anyone else have an idea?
Miku: Hmm... *Thinky face* -3- ... How about, like, the recent concert? We were all, like, gathered there, cheering each other on and stuff... Think that memory would work?? :D
Len: Mayyybeeee...! :O
Luka: It sounds like it could... We should definitely consider it~ :o
Miku: Alrighty...! :D
Rin: OOOH. I KNOW ANOTHER ONE. A GOOD ONE. owo ... LENNY.
Kaito: Ohhhh? :O
Luka: Hm...? :O
Len: Ehh? o.o What about me...? n3n;
Rin: Well, I think it's pretty obvious... o3o Ever notice how much she trusts you? Like, if she's sad or scared or something, she always goes right to you and everything?? I think... she really loves you, Lenny!! >ヮ<
Meiko: Ohhhhh...!! 8O ... *Can't help chuckling* >w<;♪
Len: O.O; *Face turns quite reddish* *Shy voice* ... Y-you... think so...? éwè;;
Kaito: *Also can't help chuckling* x333
Rin: I dooooooo~ ôwô♪ I ALSO KNOW that YOU really love HER! So if you were to go and tell her all sappy-like... I bet you'd put a billion cracks in that dark shell she's trapped in! It might even be THE THING to break it completely!! >w>
Len: *Has no words for a moment* éwè;;; ... ... ... *Finally manages to shake off some of his shyness* W-whoa, wait... THE thing...? O.O;;
Luka: That could be it, actually... :O
Kaito: Yes; I agree...! :O Especially if you were to really put your heart into speaking your mind...

Luka: Yes... x3 And he really cares about her, just the same. ... So we're thinking that he may be able to bring the true Gumi out of that dark shell with just the right words. :o
