"He" was going to be their only hope for Toya, and Toya knew it. He lied for an excuse to go to Tsukasa's house because if they didn't then he'll never get it set up. He told the situation to Tsukasa but he seemed a little out of it, so he put the peices together for him. Toya forced himself to say little to the others during the subway ride over there, but after they smiled and waved before running off, Toya saw his chance and took it. Grabbing a slightly confused Tsukasa by the wrist, they ran past sign after sign, street after street, until they found the building. It was about 6ish stories high, it paled in comparison to the building next to it, and the fear Toya felt as he walked through the doors couldn't be any more overwhelming.
Tsukasa showed signs of worry as he brought Toya to the elevator, but Toya's mind was racing. The two of them were here, right here, in this building! Toya slammed the floor three button as he steadily regained his strength. He was the calm and quiet one, he can't just act like a bumbling idiot in front of "Him". The elevator eventually reached the third floor, and there it was.
There was a simple cardboard sign that was hastily written with the word OPEN! and showed a simple smiling face. Toya knocked on the door, and there was someone who opened the door. A smiling girl wearing a top hat opened the door for them, before smiling and shouting into the room.
"We have a customer!" She said happily as Toya and Tsukasa slowly entered the door and only Tsukasa was surprised. He saw a few other people in the room, and tapped Toya on his arm.
"I'm going to talk to the other two people over there. You do what you need to." Toya nodded as he walked up to the front desk, and there "He" was. The man himself, in the flesh, currently reading over a case file.
"I need your help, sir." Toya said, trying to sound as brave as he could. "He" looked up over his case file, and cleared his throat.
"Polly! You're taking over this case. You were with me when we saw them, so you know what to do." A man with a weird haircut walked over and took the manilla file "He" gave him.
"So what do you need us for?" "He" sat up straight and smiled very friendly at us.
"Well I have a problem with my dad, he's..." Toya couldn't bring the words to say it, but he knew that "He" would understand.
"Is he dead?" "He" smiled awkwardly as he took a pen out of the drawer and started to write on the notepad on the table.
"No, it's not that, I just... hate him! He wants me to live his life, and I just to live my own. I want to live with a better family, anyone but him." Toya was shouting at this point, but he didn't care. "He" looked a little shocked, but Toya could tell what "He" was thinking.
"This kid reminds me of them..." "He" had to be thinking that! "He" cleared his throat, and spoke. "When's the trial?"
"My friend over there set it up for tomorrow."
"I can do that. I'll win this for you." And with that, Toya and Tsukasa left the building, well, Tsukasa carried an unconscious Toya out of the building. Toya got a little too excited about "His" agreement that he just passed out.
Toya felt like he was floating in nothingness, but he could tell this nothingness was different. He knew it was actually all just stars in the sky, and those stars each have a Toya and a Tsukasa and a Saki all living in a small house together, but is it meant to happen on this star? Toya felt worried about this, he felt so prepared, packed his bags in a large microphone case and everything, but why is he feeling doubtful now? His home he left from was still there, but it's all just monochrome. Tsukasa's and Saki's house was so colorful and fun, but would it be the right choice? Toya opened his eyes, and realized that it was a dream, but it didn't feel right. Toya felt uneasy, he couldn't shake off that feeling, even after walking to the amusement park.
"Sorry, you need either a ticket or an actor's card to enter Phoenix Wonderland." A very bored looking man was at the ticket station, and Tsukasa was very taken aback by this statement.
"What?! Don't you see who I am?! I am Tsukasa Tenma of the Wonder Stage!!" Tsukasa laughed heartily after yelling those words, but the ticket taker didn't move.
"Do you have any proof of that?" Tsukasa reached into his pockets, and quickly pulled out a motor bike license. The ticket taker didn't even look at it.
"Tsukasa," Toya whispered, "could we use the SEKAI to get in?"
"Of course," Tsukasa whispered back, "hold my hand." Toya felt a very clammy hand on his, and remembered why he isn't a fan of holding other people's hands, besides Akito's. Toya felt the feeling of transporting to the SEKAI as he and Tsukasa ran into the park, and the entire scene changed.
The world was bright and colorful, with bright rides that defied every law of gravity, with stuffed animals being held up by balloons that seem to be talking, and is that...
"Hatsune Miku, here?" Toya was surprised. She's meant to be at the Crase Cafe, and why does she look so cat-like?
"Tsukasa, Tsukasa, you won't believe it!" Miku seemed to zoom over here before Toya even blinked, her energy was far greater than what the Miku he knew was. Her eyes sparkling in the moonlight, and it seemed someone else was next to Miku.
"Ah Tsukasa, you decided to bring along a friend to view my masterpiece?" Toya knew his voice.
"Hello, Kamishiro. I'm guessing you're apart of this SEKAI?"
"Of course, dear Tabishi."
"My name's Toya though..."
"Look what i created!" Rui pointed near the sky, and there was a glint of something.
"Rui, that isn't, no it couldn't be, right?" Tsukasa wasn't just surprise, he looked like he refused to believe that something was what it was.
"That's right! I made a flying car!" Rui smiled chaotically as both Toya and Tsukasa both stood there in shock. A car is hard enough for a high schooler to make, but a flying one hasn't even been made by anyone, much less a high schooler.
"W-where're the others?" Tsukasa was still reeling, but was able to make the question.
"Oh, they're in the car." Tsukasa fell to his knees and screamed. Toya was the one brave enough to look to see what was happening, and he couldn't have expected what he saw.
Thanks to Miku's conveniently given, very shiny binoculars, Toya saw what was going on. Saki was driving the car, very poorly. She was spinning out and driving from side to side, she looked like she was screaming, along with what looked to be KAITO and Len in the front and back seats. Emu, however, was laughing as hard as she could. Saki was spinning out, and spinning out hard. Given how high she was, and adding the spinning speed she was heading directly towards the-
CRASH!!!!!
moon... Rui laughed maniacally as Tsukasa was trying to hold out his arms to catch Saki, but it seemed Rui was prepared for this outcome, and the four in the car all were slowly floating down using a parachute.
"Well, there goes attempt 61. Maybe I'll use Robo-Nene instead of making a car for the boosters, and if I lower the amount of weight by just a bit, then..." Rui was talking to himself in a way that never made sense.
"Whoops, I guess I shouldn't have turned so much, sorry for waxing the moon a bit early." Saki said with a smile before face planting into the ground. The wind was a little strong today, Toya thought to himself as Tsukasa argued with Saki about what had just happened. Toya felt, happy, even though those two were arguing a situation that would be considered a serious matter. Toya smiled, he was leaving the monochrome house, for good this time. And all it took for the last push was Saki to crash into the-
BOOOM!!!
...moon.
"We should probably start running. Anything from that high up would hurt." Toya said, as a piece of the moon landed next to him. Everyone ran at their full speed as the moon fell from the sky, and as a small bit bounced off a ride and onto Toya's hand, he realized that the mood was made out of cheese. The moon cheese didn't taste that good though. Everyone was out of breath but alive, and that's what matters. Safety Destruction Team, which was KIATO, Len, Rin, Miku, and some plushies, slowly moved away the cheese from multiple rides and walkways.
"We should have all this be clear by tomorrow." Rim told the three of them as they sat at the Wonder Stage, the only place that wasn't affected by the moon.
"Rui why did the car blow up?" Toya was the first to ask.
"Maybe one of the spinning blades got stuck and over loaded, or the crash caused some of the wires to cross. We'll never know, but we can hypothesize." Rui smiled as he slowly wrote out all the possibilities the could've happened, and as Tsukasa and Emu talked about it, Toya and Saki both felt like they had a long enough day.
"Tsukasa, can we go home?" Saki asked first, right as Rui got to possibly 95.
"Oh, I guess we can. Toya, do you want to join us?" Tsukasa took out his phone while asking the question, making sure to grab Saki's hand, before extending his to Toya.
"Sure." Toya nodded and grabbed it. The three of them were sent back to the wonderland, and walked home, with a subway ride in between. When Tsukasa opened the door, the three of them all felt the energy seep out of them, like a vacuum was sucking it all up. The three of them all stumbled to their rooms, and decided to all sleep early today. After all, tomorrow, they're going to settle all of this in court.
