β€œGOOD JOB, RUKA.”

A ROUND of applause from Tohoten Otome was heard, ringing through the stage. Tsukinaga Ruka, a former Idol who is currently a part of Chu-oh-ku, bowed before her superior in respect. Tsukinaga (Name), someone against Chu-oh-ku, is now kneeling before her younger sister because she lost the rap battle against her...

"Thank you for praising me, Missβ€”"

"I'm not done yet, Ruka..." Otome interrupted, turning her attention to the older Tsukinaga. "Your sister was merely holding back against you due to how she loves you," she pointed out and the younger sister glared at her fallen sister.

(Name) chuckled, "I guess you noticed it, Otome..." She muttered, using the edge of her hypnosis microphone to return to her feet. "I would never hurt my sister unless needed and it wasn't as fatal because I'm not you. You're ruthless and mean, I'm not..."

"Stop being a martyr, (Name). You're only making this worse for both of us," the older female told her. "You are invited to join Chu-oh-ku because of your ability. Your rapping ability is usefulβ€”"

"I don't intend to use it on your likes," (Name) said. The speakers behind her are slowly crumbling out of existence, "I... I don't like the way you're doing this madness and you even brainwashed my sister into joining this sick society."

"That's why you can join us, to be with your sister again. We can fix this wretched world together, (Name)," Otome told her as she placed a palm on the latter's shoulder. "You shall be granted a grand position in exchange for your loyalty to me."

(Name) swiped Otome's hand away from her, her once kind and cheerful gaze turned into full hatred and sadness. For once, the Prime Minister didn't expect to see that side of the composer. She then left the building empty-handed, her remaining will go long ago...

"Checkmate, (Name)."

The next day, she was found dead in her room. Her Hypnosis Microphone was missing, and nothing was found in her house. Only her belongings and pictures were seen, but the weapon she used against those willing to take upon her is now gone from history. Her name and corpse shall be the only remaining thing in the Hypnosis Microphone universe, a girl who didn't manage to win back her sister...

β€” ENSEMBLE STARS UNIVERSE, JAPAN

"Checkmate, (Name)."

(Name), from this universe, woke up in a jolt from the nightmare. She looked at her hand, sighing in relief she didn't see any blood from it nor the pills from a weird bottle. She didn't know the other version of herself has passed away but got a glimpse of her last moments...

"Maybe when I return, I'll save Ruka-tan from Otome..." The version of herself told herself before drinking the capsule and fell on the ground, flinching before her body turns into a corpse. "Checkmate, (Name)..."

The much younger (Name) slapped her cheeks, "That was just a dream. Nothing serious!" She told herself, convincing herself that was nothing but a nightmare. "That was nothing... Nothing... Nothing..."

"(Name)-chin, is everything alright?" Nazuna, one of her dorm mates, asked as he entered their room. He sat beside her bed, "Did something happen?"

"Hi, Nazu. I just got another nightmare again..." She replied, rubbing her eyes due to how intense the dream was. "It's the fifth time this week. Nacchan already gave me supplements to ease my mind, yet nothing works..."

"Maybe you need to take a rest now, (Name)-chin. Don't go to college today or practice, relieve your stress first," the blonde boy suggested. "Maybe you're overworking yourself again that's why you're having nightmares again."

"But, Nazu, I need toβ€”WAIT! THAT'S A GOOD INSPIRATION!" She snapped, taking her music book from the bedside table, and started to write another piece of her unit. Nazuna sighed beside her, "Stress and nightmare... Good idea, Nazu!!! You're such a genius!" She nudged him, congratulating him for giving her another inspiration.

After a few pushes and pleases, (Name) managed to convince Nazuna to let her go to her class. He made sure to put a couple of lunches and water in her bag, along with music books and pens so she won't vandalize the school property again. With one last wave, she left their dorm...

"Good morning, (Name)-san!" Madara greeted, waving at her. He took her bag, "Let me help you carry this heavy bag!"

"Mikejimama, good morning as well!" She greeted, grinning at him. "Thanks for carrying my stuff!"

"Are you writing a new piece again?"

She nodded vigorously, "Yes, yes!" She happily replied and then showed him her work. "What do you think about it?"

He gave her his signature smile, "It's great as always, (Name)-san! Keep up the good work!" He praised.

Once he dropped her off at her college, he gave her one last greeting before disappearing. Thanks to Izumi Sena (a unit mate hΜΆuΜΆsΜΆbΜΆaΜΆnΜΆdΜΆ), she has directions on where to find her classroom and it's near than expected...

"Hey, isn't that (Name) from Knights?"

"She's so cute up close!"

"We should ask for her autograph!"

Unbothered by the chattering of students, she just continued writing. "The Knight and Shining armor of the Princess..." She hummed, writing the next lyric for her piece. "... One day..."

It's strange though, she felt drowsy all of the sudden. Did Nazuna mistake her supplements for headaches for the drowsy pain relievers? The next thing she knew was hitting her head on the table with a loud thud, her pen falling on the ground, and her classmates panicking...

"Hello again, Tsukinaga (Name)."
