Within a secure facility underneath the earth, several suspicious business men and a lone woman concealed in a black cloak are conversing. They each exchange glances hastily at each other, nervous about the news that was about to be brought before them. An elderly man coughed, gaining their attention as he pointed to a monitor showing bizarre statistics.

[b]Ahem! Yes, well, now that I have all of your attention. Allow me to explain this scientific jargon you see before you.[/b] Slipping a pointer out from his left sleeve he instructed the gathered alumni. [b]This graph here refers to the vocal power being used by an Idol... This here is their output level just as this one correlates to --[/b] Before the frail man could finish. A man slammed his fist down, he was plump with dark black hair. [b]Get to the point you blathering fool! There's money to be made, my star, Eriko is raking in the millions as we speak and I'd rather be in my mansion swimming in the truckloads of money that comes in through my back door.[/b]
The women in the cloak scoffed. 

The frail scientist continued his rambling. [b]Um, yes well you see... Eriko..[/b] The plump businessman eyes widened. [b]Eriko what?![/b] The frail scientist looked away shyly as he delayed some grieving news. [b]Eriko Amami has... Disappeared. Our number one defense against the B.O.D. and most popular Idol has effectively vanished off the face of the earth[/b] The gathering was in an uproar, aside from the cloaked women who stood in silence observing the madness that was unfolding. 
[b]Now if you would, allow me to finish my presentation of this data. Eriko disappered after performing a concert and rapidly being rushed off to fight off a B.O.D. During a Live, she performed her strongest technique, a burst skill. After that, we've been unabled to detect her presence anywhere on this earth. Our current conclusion is... She is ethier dying, or her vocal gem has cracked. It would be the only explanation as to why she has yet to return and why we can not currently track her.[/b]

The frail old man continued. [b]To make matters worse, fewer and fewer people are able to safely converge with the vocal gems extracted from the Crystal. Numerous people are failing their initial audition. More and more missing person reports are arising, at this pace, we'll be unable to cover up the failures.[/b] The frail old man wryly scratched his forehead. [b]On the upside, the few who are passing their Auditions, are some of the strongest we've seen in many years. We'll be hosting a concert for all the lower ranked Idols to appear, hopefully they'll be able to draw attention away from our current problems.[/b]

It's sudden and almost uncharacteristic. Normally jobs are sent to your manager if you have one, or you'll be contacted via a member of staff. But not so directly. You look at your phone, you've been registered for a major concert to be held soon in the center of the city. The top Idol to make it out on top, will have a boosted rank and earn an alluring prize. You can't refuse. Literally, you can't, you've already been registered for the event against your will and you can't back out, at risk of losing or disappointing the fans you have.

What will you do now? You should probably head over to the main concert hall and scope out the competition.[/b]
