Author's Note: I am not an editor or a professional writer. I will write this and edit it to the best of my ability. I also do not own Uma Musume, which is owned by Cygames. Watch the animes and read the mangas, for they are pretty good. Finally, please enjoy.
Black Diamond POV:
Bro, I watched as the downloads exploded and many of our songs carved through the charts. I was on my phone as everyone got dressed and put on civilian clothing. We were dressed as staff, wearing hats and uniforms, hiding our ears and tails. We left like we were just workers. That's when we heard gunshots being fired.
We all expected this to come; we were not surprised. The Cult had come, and they were now learning we have security that will absolutely kill them. I feel no sympathy for those who hurt others for something as ridiculous as keeping one genre dominant in this world. I then saw light flickering, and I knew they were trying to hack us. Gray, Jo, and I already have our work saved on separate flash drives and have it in printed form.
Plus our cybersecurity team, nice try, assholes. We were all also taught to use weapons and are holding guns and knives right now. Our head of security was a student of the ways of America: when there's a threat, shoot first, ask questions later. We got on separate vans that look like civilian cars. The bus we got here on is now a fake bait surrounded by security and full of security.
They try to attack it, but they find that it's now a hornet's nest waiting for their deaths. Why would we go this far? Well, our boss is that petty to win, and we are that stubborn. Vic is calm, as always; Mama is watching over us; and Gray is keeping up with all the data. Rose is protecting Mama, and GW is by Vic's side. Rain is protecting Gray, Steel is protecting Jo, and KiWi and Lily are with Spice and ImP.
Norn is with me and Sweets as my guards. We're all watching each other to protect one another. I really hate the cult man. I hear Tsukasa is leading the escape, Yuto is directing the fight, and Iguro is leading on the battlefield. Hana is dealing with hackers, Hachi is guiding escape routes for staff and us, and Mana is running medical.
Juna and Ana are handling logistics, while Takeshi is in contact with Ayana in Japan and with everyone else, as he's running communications. The boss is in a meeting to get reinforcements, and Suzu is with her. I hope they're all going to be okay. In this team, the only ones who use violence like this are Spice and KiWi, since they were once involved in the gang scene or lived near it. ImP, Norn, Jo, and I knew the milder version of it, but not like this.
We got to a new hotel room where our stuff had been moved. Tomorrow we're going to Buenos Aires and training there. Now we have to survive tonight. Vic then spoke, saying," Everything happening is crazy, but now we have to survive this. We wanted to shock the world, and we did."
She then continued, saying," Now the cult thinks this performance is bad; well, they don't know what's coming in Buenos Aires. Now every hour I want someone watching. I'm willing to take watch." That's when Steel interrupted, saying," Hey, Captain, go to sleep. I think those who didn't perform today should watch over everyone. That means me, Sweets, Jo, and KiWi should definitely watch, taking 2 hours each."
She then continued, saying, "You need to rest, Captain, especially after Mana told you to do so." Everyone agreed, and I needed to sleep after going hard in my race. I took a shower and got ready for bed. I saw Sweets talking to Rose, and ImP and Lily going to sleep in the same room. GW is being helped by Mama, and Vic is being helped by Steel.
Gray and Rain are going to the same room as well, and Spice is being dragged to bed by KiWi and Jo. Norn, like me, just headed to bed tired from doing something more than just running today. Now I check one more time as my music rises higher to the top. The news is broadcasting this story and what's happening between the Cult and our organization. It seems the cult went and got back up, and so did we.
I don't know what the Boss did, but it seems we're winning. Now it was time to sleep. I let darkness consume me, and a loud as hell alarm known as King Wild wakes me up. I kid you not when I say I woke up in a mess that I did not expect. What the fuck happened last night?
Mina Sakamoto/Du Vault POV:
It seems the battle has begun. Good thing they only sent their human and low-level Uma Musume members into battle first. They thought they were facing a bunch of reckless idiots they could just kill instead of a trained army. I already had everything planned out against these fools. Now I have a meeting with the president of the FSRL. I arrived there, and the masked man you see is Red Bloomberg.
I also wore a mask along with Suzu, who is with me currently. Red also had masked attendants as well, and it was only us alone. He spoke first," I'm Red Bloomberg, miss, please have a seat, miss...?" I answered," Sky, Commander Sky at the moment, Mr. Bloomberg. He replied I see that's quite alright, I'm not using my real name either, so why should you?"
After some more greetings, we began speaking to one another. He went first, saying," Okay, now that we're comfortable, I would like to move this along as it seems we're both busy. I'm busy running my league while you're busy fighting the Cult, it seems." I agreed, saying," Yes, I would also like to know why you have brought me here today?" He laughed and responded," Yes, I like you as a person; now it seems we have the same problems and the solution to each of them."
I was confused by that, and so I asked," Could you explain a bit more, please?" He smiled and responded," Well, you see, this league at the very start was created to beat the Noble Racing League and destroy the force running it behind the scenes, the Gold Family Mafia." I was shocked; those guys were actually strong enough to control one of the world's biggest leagues. He then continued, saying," Now the league and I have made progress through the years destroying them, but they stubbornly stay alive because our league lacks 2 things needed to claim victory. Do you know what they are?"
I was baffled by the whole thing, so I just responded," Not particularly, what might they be?" He then told me," Superstars and Game Changers." I was speechless, but soon I argued back, saying," Don't be silly, you have great players in your league like the members of the High Stars and other players spread out around the league." He then rebutted," Yes, but so does the Noble Racing League, and it doesn't help that they just steal my ideas over time either. I need players who they can't just replicate.
He then kept talking, saying," Stars that bring out the greatness of others and inspire them. Game Changers that open possibilities that others couldn't imagine before they arrived. You see, after seeing your team today, I think I finally found the group of individuals who can help my league defeat the NRL once and for all. Still, do not worry, I want to work alongside your team, not take them from you." I finally understood what he wanted and why I was here.
It's a very interesting situation, and I responded, saying," I thank you for such kind words towards my team. Now I must know how this partnership would benefit our organization?" He then told me," First, we will add our forces to protect your team from all enemies coming to harm them." I then interrupted him, saying," I think my security team, who are at the same level as a human branch of elite US Marines." He then laughed harder than before and replied," Oh, that's precious. Let me tell you that it will only work for their regular members, but the members of their elite that they're sending one right now are at a base level close to that."
Then he continued," Do you know why the Pop Cult is adamant about spreading pop music around the world as the only genre? Cause they want it to be the only songs playing everywhere. Why, you ask, because of Zone." I was shocked, and I asked him," Please tell me more." He nodded, telling me," You see, all Uma Musume have the ability to activate this power called Zone in stressful and high-pressure situations."
He then continued, saying," You see, Commander, the underworld found another way to activate and later enhance the zone. That is emotional synchronization, which is the ability to use outside factors to synchronize one's mind with their Uma soul. This state is called enhanced Uma Mode, and the best way to release it is by getting rid of interruptive factors and enhancing enhancement factors." I then ask," What does that have to do with anything?" He then told me," Glad you asked; you see both factors could be anything, but the two factors that are the strongest found in testing when it comes to Uma Musume are Running Competitively and Music."
I soon realized what he was hinting at, and soon he continued, saying," You see the elites and leaders of the Pop Cult are enhanced by Pop music and become stronger with it as well. While other genres don't disrupt their ability to go into the zone, cause if they did, they could just get soundproof headphones. You see, if there's only pop music in the world, it means they are the only ones that can enhance themselves outside of racing, and the more pop music there is, the stronger they can enhance themselves. Still, some pop songs get old as well, so they need more people to create more pop music and find the next song that can enhance them to an even greater capacity. Your songs that are tearing up the charts at this very moment are getting in the way of that."
I now knew how dangerous the situation was, and so I asked," How strong is their enhanced elite that's coming?" He then smiled and told me," Strong enough to wipe out several US elite human Marine Corps branches single-handedly." I was speechless; we are so screwed and the. He continued, saying," Now, good thing for you, we have people of our own to counter that cause we also have our own enhanced Uma Musume. Especially after they heard your songs, and it awakened more of our forces to the synchronization process."
I looked up to him, saying," I see, I think we can work together, sir." He smiled," Amazing, now, along with our help, we will also provide legal broadcast rights, as we want to open Japan to our league. We will provide funds to spread your songs everywhere to grow our league and a 50/50 split on merchandising of your team." I smiled, saying," You make a good bargain, so I say, deal." That's when Suzu, who was quiet the whole time, spoke, saying," Ma'am, emergency, after taking care of the first set of cultists, a larger army of the cult, who are more armed, came and are being led by what we think is an elite Uma Musume member, has now arrived."
I then smiled, saying," Let's sign this deal and get some reinforcements down there." Red then smiled and signaled his attendant. The attendant then came to me with an iPad and said," Ma'am, sign here, and we'll send our forces immediately." I then read the entire contract in seconds, as something like this was nothing to my reading speed. I soon signed the iPad, and almost immediately Red began to applaud in joy.
He spoke, saying," Attendant signal our commander it's go time, and send in Agent Bunny while playing the fastest rising song at the moment." I then smiled, knowing that was our song. The attendant then spoke, saying," Yes, Master Red." She then reached for her earpiece, pressed a button, and said," Commander, Operation Rock and Roll is a go." That's when helicopters flew off the building we were in, and jeeps and other vehicles came out of the garages.
I saw all this out the window as they headed to where the fighting was. I then smiled as it was time to win this. Red then said," You will not regret this partnership, I promise." I then got up and headed to the door, with Suzu saying," I hope so, commissioner, I hope so. I soon left the room, headed to battle with my forces.
