Chapter 4

                                    

                                          
Mizuki POV
Mizuki found themselves in an empty gray area. It had glowing blue stuff all around it, the same color as on the disc. At closer inspection, it looked gross. 
I'm never buying physical movie copies again. But more importantly... Where am I? They didn't have time to be scared of the unfamiliar surroundings before they heard a voice. 
"Mizuki, don't touch that." The person talking was none other than Luka. But this Luka was nothing like the one in Empty Sekai. 
"Luka? H-How do you know me?" 
"I know you from the Empty Sekai, of course. However, I'm not the same Luka." Mizuki stared back at her blankly. 
Luka continued. "I know this is confusing, so allow me to explain. You're in Corrupted Songs. You may have been led to believe that it was a fictional movie, but this is very real. Our world is corrupted. The virus has already got to Miku, Rin, Len, and Meiko. That's what that gross blue stuff is. But thankfully, me and Kaito figured out a way to bring real people into our world here. We can't leave this world, but you can. We need you to stop whoever's doing this." 
"This is real?" Mizuki was shocked. 
"Yes. Please try to help us get Miku and the others back." 
Mizuki could hardly believe what was going on here. But this wasn't a dream. I'm not dreaming. The virtual singers actually need help. This also explains why I haven't been able to enter the Empty Sekai lately. 
"Okay, I'll help. Let's get Miku and others back to normal!" 
"Thank you, but we have to be careful. If you touch the blue stuff, you could die. As time passes, the blue stuff expands. We'll be consumed by it soon enough, just like Miku and the others." 
"I could die...? Um, you mentioned Kaito. Where is he?" Mizuki asked. 
"I don't know, we got separated somehow..." 
"That's what we'll do right now then. Find Kaito!" Mizuki did their best to stay positive. After all, if Luka brought them here, she must know how to get them out. 
"Thank you for being so positive, but I can tell you're worried." Luka said. 
There was no use hiding anything from her. Mizuki sighed. "I'm worried about my friends. I'm pretty sure they're here too. I hope nothing bad has happened." 
"Your friends are here? I only brought you here. I'm sure it was Kaito who brought your friends here. He'll take good care of them, don't worry." 
"Really? That's a relief." Mizuki felt a bit better now. "Let's waste no more time, and find them then!" 

Rui POV 
Rui found himself in a strange looking area. It looked awfully like the virtual singer world in the movie they had been watching. We can't possibly be in the movie, right? No, that's ridiculous. 
He was about to stand up, but Tsukasa was asleep lying completely on top of him. Rui poked his cheek. "Tsukasa." 
"Hm?" Tsukasa looked confused, but then he looked embarrassed when he realized he was lying on top of Rui. "How did we end up like this?" 
"I'm not sure, did we fall in here?" Rui answered. Tsukasa rolled off of him and they laid beside each other, his shoulder pressed against Rui's. 
"I have no idea." Silence stretched for a few minutes before Tsukasa spoke again. "But I'm sort of scared."
