Chapter Text
Shuichi woke up with a groan.
Where are we?
Looking around, he, Maki, and Himiko, appeared to be in a warehouse, with strange pods lining the walls.
Maki was the first to speak. "Good to see your awake, are you okay? You were out for a while." Shuichi couldn't help but smile when he saw Maki caring for him. "Nyeh, we woke up inside these weird pods" Himiko mumbled just loud enough to hear. We woke up inside these? Shuichi wondered. "Anyways," the teen started, walking around the room, looking for a way out, or something useful. All he found was a cassette. "We should probably take a listen to this," After a quick agreement,Shuichi plugged in the cassette to the recorder, and an audio file began to play.
"So, what's the plan for them?" A voice started out, though the gender was unidentifiable. "Well, I decided to make up a 'TV show scenario!'" The second voice, a girl, though clearly not Tsumugi, said cheerfully. "TV show?"
"Yes!"
"What about the mastermind?"
"Great question! I'm gonna brainwash this blue-haired beauty so that all she can do is watch, as her body goes on it's own. Also, the robot is gonna have some 'inner voice' thing, I haven't fully figured it out yet."
"Whatever you say, boss"
"Thank you, loyal minion! Unfortunately, because we're laying low with our location, it's gonna have to be in the Neo World, again."
"Uh, so they're not gonna die?"
"Sadly, yes. I can't figure out how to keep them dead, so the most I can do is slow down the awakening process. But Anyways! Let's get started with-" The recording had ended abruptly, but not until after telling very vital information.
Nothing was said as shock set in, until they said the exact same thought.
"(NYEH?!) THEY'RE ALIVE?!"
