Could you imagine what it's been like for Hatsune Miku, living as a computer generated vocal synthe

World Is Mine

Author's note: A huge thank you to cloudedguardian, whose affection and care help me time and time again through my toughest hours. You are my inspiration, and I cannot express how grateful I am for it. Also, this first scene of this fic won't come off as very understandable to you if you cannot click on the link and watch the video.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."
-Plato

The silence from the crowd was nerve shattering. They all numbered in the thousands and were ready for what they had paid for. Everybody had their glow sticks and some of them had cameras, taking pictures of the band that was preparing on stage. The stage itself seemed very well lit and a bit plain, aside from the huge metal rafters that held several stage lights. Children, grown men and women, and many, many teenagers flocked to the stage as if it was their calling. They had all gathered for one reason, and one reason alone.

Tsh...Tsh...Tsh...Tsh

And that reason appeared to them in all of her beauty, levitating up from the ground by a platform and being marked by four clicks on the drummer's hi-hat.

The lights quickly dimmed themselves and the crowd roared as the image of perfection opened her digitally projected mouth.

"Sekai de, ichiban ohime sama." her words rang out through the hundreds of speakers that just barely managed to cover the screaming cheers from the unimaginably large audience. "Sou iu, atsukai. Kokoro eteeeeeee..." she held that last note out and the crowd started to crescendo their cheers as the moment was building.

Time seemed to stop.

"Yo ne," she spoke. As soon as those words left the speakers, the concert exploded with ferocity and pure excitement as the ear-busting musical breakdown kicked in. This incredible animated girl before them who sang on stage stood at a mere five feet and two inches tall, and she had long, aqua-green pigtails that stretched down past her sides and nearly touched the ground. She had on what looked to be a skirted schoolgirl uniform with stockings and separated sleeves. She also wore a tie that perfectly matched her hair, and had a 01 tattooed on her left arm, just below her shoulder.

This animated portrayal of beauty and graceful cuteness, was non-other than the famous Hatsune Miku.

She began to sway her hips along from side to side, dancing as the crowd pumped all of their glow-stick grasping hands in the air to the beat of the music. It built up to the verse and Miku began to continue her song as the crowd sang along with her,

"Sono ichi, itsumo tochigau kamigata ni. Ki ga tsuku koto." she sang the first line of the first verse along with her audience. The now flashy, glow-stick covered concert could have been considered a minor riot from all those cheering Miku on as she performed onstage. They continued to sing with her throughout every catchy upbeat of the verse and pre-chorus, all while Miku danced onstage, letting her music guide her hips and the rest of her body in a manner true to all Himedere's. Some of them were even throwing leeks on the stage at Miku's feet as she sang and danced. The chorus quickly found itself approaching, and the entire crowd along reared along with Miku once more,

"Sekaaaai de, ichiban ohime sama. Ki ga tsuite nee nee, mataseru nante rongai yo. Wataaaashi wo, dare dato omotteru no? Mou nanda ka amai mono ga tabetai!" Miku's voice sang to the high heavens and echoed throughout the walls of the stage and out and into the ears of the majority of Otaku in Japan. With four words and no music playing, she ended the first chorus,

"Ima sugu ni yo!"

The guitarist let his fingers slide across the higher frets of his Stratocaster, providing a nice vibrato and letting his strings squeal with several pinch harmonics and the high gain being provided through his rig. Just as he finished his solo, the cute holographic beauty began to sing in accentuated vocal patterns while crossing her heeled feet back and forth and twisting her legs left to right in a manner of adorable shuffling.

"Ichigo no notta SHOOTOKEEKI! Kodawari tamago no torokeru PUDDING! Minna, Minna, gaman shimasu." She began to put her hands in front of her and shake them towards the audience as she continued to do a Cosplay version of The Twist while remaining the pinnacle of cute. "Wagamama na ko dato, omowanai de. Watashi datte yareba dekiru mon." She pointed towards the crowd and winked her large left eye while pushing her rump outwards. "Ato de koukai suru wa yo."

The violins kicked in as the music began to build once more and come around to the pre-chorus.

"Sekaaaai de, ichiban ohime sama." the Japanese Vocaloid idol sang the chorus once more. Every single fanatical fan continued to sing along with Mikuchan. The music cut off after the last line of the chorus.

"Kocchi no ga abunai wa yo." she concluded, before the breakdown kicked back in. She let out a high pitched squeak in between the first and second measure, before speaking, "Check; One, Two." The breakdown began to slow in conclusion of the song and as it drew out, the diva twirled around and faced away from the crowd. She threw her hand in the air, and let out a pitch-perfect C# that would make even a Descant jealous.

"Aaaaaaaaaah!" her voice soared across the heavens and at the end of the song, there wasn't a single voice not cheering for her.

The world was hers, and that's just how Hatsune Miku liked it.


"Wow," spoke a young teenager at his HP desktop computer. "That was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. They actually projected a holographic image for an entire concert like that? That's just..." his eyes widened. "I should leave a comment!"

He quickly drew his fingers across the desk to his mouse and moved the arrow over to the comment box of the YouTube video. He clicked the box and began to type while speaking out loud.

"Er...mah...gerd...Best concert...evuh! Like, 5evuh, which is...one more than four. It's that...AWESOME!" he concluded happily as he finished typing the comment that a child in fourth grade would post. He smiled happily and clicked the 'Post' button. He then brought up a window for The Pirate Bay and browsed Vocaloid torrents for a few minutes. He then went back to the tab that had the concert video. He looked for his comment.

Twitch

"Flagged as spam?! That's bullshit!" he screamed while shaking his hand at his computer screen.

"Dakota! Watch your mouth!" yelled his mother, who heard him perfectly from the hallway. The boy rolled his eyes.

"Yeah, sure," Dakota replied to her before going back to his computer screen. "I wonder how long this torrent will take."

His eyes scanned the computer screen, and the BitTorrent window he had up. The file size was around two and a half gigabytes. He smiled when he saw the estimated time of arrival being two hours and forty five minutes.

"Awesome! With my fast bitrate, this shouldn't take long."

The boy decided to use this time to multitask and do something very productive.

"Time to look at ponies!" he spoke happily.

In mere seconds, there were fifteen tabs opened to just about every pony site possible and one extra for looking at the instructions for using the Hatsune Miku Vocaloid application. It seemed fairly simple to him, it would just be difficult to learn memorize the method of syncing the audio and the custom lyrics together. After about several hours of looking at pony artwork and browsing Memebase, a notification appeared at the bottom of his taskbar.

'Hatsune Miku, Vocaloid 2.0-completed.' it read. He brought the window back up and clicked on the complete section of BitTorrent, and quickly deleted the completed torrent from his Queue. He didn't see any reason to seed what with having so many people seeding already. He quickly made his way to the Downloads folder and ran the Setup.exe that he had downloaded.

"Suweeeeet! Now I can get this thing started," he spoke excitedly. Clicking on the setup file, he ran through all of the traditional steps for installing the software, including instantly checking the box that read I accept the terms and conditions of this product's use.

"Nobody reads these anyway." he said. As the software finished downloading, he clicked the box to create a desktop icon and open the application once it finished. The window opened and popped up the software. It was fairly simple for most musicians. It had several tools including an on-board equalizer and an effect modulator, consisting of choruses, flanges, reverb, and many other digitally modulated effects that were to be used when he synced up a song and ran the lyric program.

Dakota, was not a musician.

"I have no idea what I'm doing..." he spoke with a frown. "Well, might as well try to load a song first."

He went to his music library.

"Okay, let's see here; Black Eyed Peas? No. Lady Gaga? Hell no. Twilight soundtrack?...Shoot me in the face. Repeatedly. How did all this garbage even get on here?!" he yelled to himself.

Then he had an idea. Dakota smirked.

"I know. Let's do something...manly," he said as he opened the most Chuck Norris-esque music he could find in his library. He clicked on it to run it through iTunes first, just to check if the file wasn't corrupted. And iTunes window popped up.

"My Little Pooony. My Little Pooony. Aaaaaaaah," his speakers sang.

He smiled as wide as he could.

"WIN!" the teenage boy yelled.

He quickly brought up the Vocaloid software for Miku and clicked the button to upload new audio. He once again searched through his library and found the Friendship is Magic theme song. He clicked on the file.

"This is gunna be so. Awesome!"

He waited as the progress bar began to run itself. Then, something happened that was very odd. He looked at his screen with curiosity.

"That's odd. There for a minute, I thought I saw a rain-"

BOOM!

His desktop monitor exploded in multi-colored flames.

"Eeeeaaaaghhh!" Dakota let out a scream that sounded roughly Ninety-Eight percent feminine, before falling back on the ground in his computer chair, panting while looking at his charred desktop.

"Dakota?!" his mother yelled frantically as she threw his door open to check if her son was safe. She found him staring in shock at his now demolished computer. He screamed through his pants,

"What the...*pant*...hell was that?!"


Warm.

Why did it feel so warm? Was it the heat from light?...No.

Sunlight. She felt the warmth of sunlight.

She slowly opened her eyes.

It was bright. Incredibly bright. She immediately closed her eyes on instinct.

"Dairega raitoon...ni natte?" she asked, annoyed. She slowly opened her eyes once more and they adjusted to the light. She blinked several times, lazily, at the image of the sun and several clouds. Her vision was suddenly obscured by the face of a little, yellow filly with a red mane and matching bow in her hair.

"Are y'all alright?" the little filly asked her with concerned confusion.

She blinked.

"Desu ka...ponii?" Miku asked herself, not believing what was in front of her and asking her of her condition.

"Umm, Ah don't really understand what yer sayin'? What's...day-sew ka?" Apple Boom asked.

Miku's eyes kept getting wider and wider, as she came to realize one fact about the little filly speaking to her. That fact Miku noticed being; She. Was. Adorable.

"AAAAAHHHHH!" Miku squealed like a fangirl as she wrapped her arms around the adorable filly and squezed her tight.

"Poniichan! Poniichan! Poniichan node kawaii!" Miku yelled in utter admiration at the cute pony.

"Ah...can't...breathe," Apple Bloom managed to speak through the near-crushing hug.

Miku then noticed something about her arms; they weren't arms. They were slender, white hooves. Her right eye twitched and she curled the side of her mouth up in a comical fashion, as if she was about to have a nervous breakdown.

"Er...Watashiha, ponii?" she asked herself in disbelief. She let go of Apple Bloom, who quickly took in as much air as she could into her lungs. Miku's eyes began to water.

"Watashiwa ponii desu," she spoke quietly to herself. She then burst out into tears and fell on the ground, slamming and kicking her hooves into the soft grass.

"Waaaaahahahaaaaa!" she cried like a newborn foal. "Watashiwa ponii desu! Watashiwa poniichan!" she spoke over and over again through her wailing cries.

Apple Bloom scratched the back of her mane at the odd scene coming from the white pegasus with long, green pigtails.

'Oh Celestia,' Apple Bloom thought to herself. 'Ah'm worried about how my sister's gunna react to this and as if that weren't enough, now this mare's speakin' in tongues.'

Going to read later, but here, have a great and green thumb up! I love vocaloid! :heart:

Go on...

Not much of a vocaloid fangirl, but me likey.

Well this is new...

1645323 Thank you! I hope you enjoy it. :twilightsmile:

1645333 You forgot the Family Guy jpeg.

1645401 Thank you. :pinkiehappy:

1645409 Indeed it is. I like to keep my genres varied. Helps me stay on my toes and keep my writing fresh. :moustache:

That cover art makes me think of Runo from Bakugan for some reason...

Well... it is a strange crossover, not the strangest I have seen for either Volcaloids or MLP:FiM. Wonder were you will take this, and I am certainly going to keep an eye on this.

1645569 They look very similar and are both Himidere's.

1645577 Thank you(?) I hope you enjoy it as it unfolds.

1645619

*Goes out cold from cuteness overdose*

*Open eyes*

*Sees Fluttershy wearing a doctor attire*

*Goes out cold again with a "=3" smile on the face*

A VOCALOID CROSSOVER!?!! :pinkiegasp:

Nah, I might. I personally like Vocaloid, but I could never imagining putting a story to it, let alone a PONY CROSSOVER.
So I'll like it

1645671 As anyone would.

Also, since I have three dislikes on this already, if anyone doesn't like the story for a particular reason and manages to read this, leave a damn comment saying what you didn't like about the story, otherwise you're just gunna become a thorn in my side.

1645862 Bahahaha! :rainbowlaugh: You just don't have all them creative skillz like I do, son! :derpytongue2: Thank you bro. When can I expect the new chap of PMC? :twilightsmile:

Gotta say, looking interesting so far

1645901 Thank you very much. :moustache:

Hatsune Miku! :pinkiehappy:
But wait... That reminds me of an anime that Miku sang a song for.
Black Rock Shooter. This brings me hopes that such fanfic would be made

I love how Miku isn't talking in English for the duration of the story! :pinkiehappy:

1645984 They used her software for the theme song, but I'm not sure what you mean by "This brings me hopes that such fanfic would be made". :rainbowlaugh:

1646014 Of course! :rainbowwild: How could she speak in anything else other than Japanese?

1646074
Yeah. unclear my last statement was. Let me rephrase that. *ahem*
This fic brings me hope that a crossover of BRS will be made one day. Because rainbows are involved. So involved that you can just taste it.
Now let me reread this to make sure it makes sense.

My brain is full of fuck and I don't care! I have literally no idea what the hell was happening half the time. Again I don't care. Now I just have to figure what the hell I was reading... Then I'll be golden ponyboy!

1646151

I just hope that no one on the site see this comment of yours and do it before me! :pinkiesad2:

Because, yes, I am preparing a BRSxMLP crossover. :pinkiehappy:

1646074 hmmm oh how could they speak somethingelse then japanese oh how about this

i.....love it.....can't wait for more :pinkiecrazy:

i didn't see any errors on my own due to auto correct of the:derpytongue2:

ps. i agree ponies are manly:rainbowlaugh:

1646151 Ahh, I see. I wouldn't mind reading that crossover. :duck:

1646163 Maybe if your web was good enough for YouTube and you knew what the hell Vocaloid is, you would understand better. :rainbowlaugh:

1646224 That has to be the single most overrated musical of all time, yet that cover is splendid.

1646287 So manly. Glad you enjoyed. :twilightsmile:

1646313 indeed now imma pull an old one out of nowhere

HIGH HO SILVAAHH, AWWAAAYYY!!!!:trollestia:

I have no fucking clue what that pony is saying, but I'm going to favorite this anyway.:twilightsmile:

Maybe it'd help if there were footnotes that had translations of what Miku is saying. Though I personally can understand what she's saying, some people are probably at a total loss at what's going on >w<

1646533 Maybe I will. I have thought about it for those who don't understand Romaji. :twilightsmile: Although, she is going to become pretty understandable in the next chapter. :rainbowlaugh:

This...

This is Awesome!
Poniichan kawaii! That made my day! :rainbowlaugh:

I have three comments that may make this more palatable to the average reader:

The first is the format of the song at the beginning. A warning to change the color scheme to dark would probably be advisable as the default light makes the colored text near unreadable.

Also you should separate the lyrics from the rest of the text and italicize them, as this helps the reader switch between lyrical dialog and normal text or spoken dialog.

And the final comment: Since I speak a little japanese I feel I have an unfair advantage in reading this over the average reader. Do you think it would take much away from the story to have a translations section? This may not be feasible, as direct translations often leave much to be desired.

1646645 I return your kindness and Pinkie smiles with five moustaches. :moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache: Also, if you did enjoy, please don't forget to favorite.

1646660 To your first suggestion, I can't really change them into a darker font. The ones you read were already bolded, so that's about as dark as they'll get. :applejackunsure: Second, I think I will do just that! Thank you! :pinkiehappy: Third, I think it would take the flavor away from the story if I were to translate everything, so I'll just do bits and pieces. It's not like the whole thing will be in Japanese. :rainbowlaugh:

This is amusing so far, but I have no clue what "Vocaloid" is, nor do I know any "Hatsune Miku".

1646703 Really? Might wanna look 'em up. :twilightsmile:

1646713 Okay then. Also, she's speaking in Japanese, right? Google translate does not translate any of it to English and when I put it to Detect Language, it goes anywhere from Filipino to Italian to Swahili, etc. It even said it was English, despite setting the output language to English.
Do you think Google translate will fail me eternally?

well... This is gonna be an interesting day for everypony.

1646744 It's Romaji, which is Romanized Japanese. :rainbowlaugh:

1646748 Exactly!

1646665 Already did!
Watashi wa sukidesu Vocaloid/Ponii!

1646934 Watashiha aishiteru kuchihige. :moustache:

All my love...
Now belongs to you.
:heart::heart::heart:
