- So, to explain. I don't want to make a silly ass fanfic in Archive of Our Own, but I do want to reimagine what could have been, considering some stuff said in the Watch A Long (mainly including everyone and fewer bits), and sort of creating a different version of the story without taking the core elements of the current concert or main storyline. While I do write a bit more "serious" over the story, I do want to keep the goofy elements that Mouse would have probably loved to see. For this to work in an actual scenario, I would change these points:
- >The Story Parts would be likely in Merry's style comics, these for "cheaper" and "better looking" compared to the 3D scenes, and allowing for me to picture more of it.
- >While having no issues, with Mouse's outfit, I would add a pair of in ear headphones and a phone, to explain in lore what's going on (more on that later)
- >U N L I M E T E D B U D G E T
- Here goes nothing, lol.
- [Prologue]
- In the depths of the Chemistry and Alchemy Lab of the School, two figures are seemingly working on a potion, and as we hear the voice of one of them, it's pretty clear is Froot and Henya (both wearing the School Uniform but having Lab Coats on top of it, Froot having Goth Makeup, while Henya has some giant ass goggles on her head), they both sneaked into the lab to formulate a potion that would make their social anxiety go away, and gave them the confidence they want. As they read from the book, Froot tells Henya to bring her the final ingredient, as Henya goes into the storage room, she sees two similar looking bottles, being a complete genius (she actually forgot what Froot asked for) assumes it's one of them and takes it back to Froot, not realizing there was a third bottle behind her that was actually what Froot asked. Froot then adds the wrong ingredient, creating a small explosion that pushes them back, as they scarily see that the potion starts bubbling, they fear for the worse, and they start hugging each other thinking there would another explosion. But no, the potion takes a cloudy form and starts floating, as they both each other worried, they see the cloud going straight to several containers, each of them keeping an animal used in experimentation. They both looked confused as they see how the cloud straight up swallows a small gecko, turning it into the 2D Gecko Model, then for some reason it skips the second container that had a rat inside of it, and goes straight into the third swallowing a poor Frog, turning into the 2D Froog Model, making them "fall flat". Both are horrified and quickly call someone, reaching all the way to the Headmaster. The scene then turns into black, as we slowly hear and see a shadowy figure looking into the lab that no longer has the cloud inside of it, as we see that the figure is taking a phone call, and then they nod and end the call, as the figure gets a bit attacked by the cloud and leaves something behind before running away.
- [Opening]
- As in the actual concert, Mouse starts arriving at the school as she tells the same stuff said at the beginning of it while we hear a muffled song (Rodent's Kingdom, but without the vocals). Explaining a bit of who she is and where she is, as we see a couple of students waving at her, she also notices a couple that whisper at each other while looking at her. Mouse gets a bit mad over this, and decides to ignoring by putting on her headphones, and pulling out her phone. As we get the first song of the concert (LEFT RIGHT).
- Now I said before there's a reason for this change in her outfit, Mouse is not really singing or dancing in public, she's sort of like Ichiban Kasuga from Yakuza 8, and she deludes herself into having these musical-esque elements on her life instead of actual interactions, so choreographies and songs depend on Mouse's mood and conversations in the subject, not actually doing them in this world, hence why there's lights and effects.
- After Mouse does her first song, she finds Henya and Froot worried, while she hasn't spoken to them (in this world) their faces look terrified, as we jump into our second song (Mephisto). In this one, Froot and Henya are backup dancers, and the choreography is sort of based around making Froot and Henya dance like her, but there's a bit of struggle, and they rather do their own bit while Mouse dances around. Eventually they hit a good spot and the three seem to understand that she's not a threat, but as soon as "they are going to speak about it" (as the song ends with Mouse in the middle and Henya and Froot in both of her ears), they hear one of their phones ringing and they both ran away (almost like they were being chased). Mouse wondering what was that about, ends up reaching the Hallway of the School.
- [Hallway]
- Here we meet Bubi, who has a bit with Mouse, as she tries to tell him that she's doing fine and she doesn't need a "stalker" since people are already making weird ideas, Bubi denies these claims and explains he's only following her for her powers. Now, Bubi is indeed in a school uniform, but his seems a bit "fake", this is because he's not actually enrolled, he made his own uniform as a disguise, and much like Mouse has several elements that make him LOOK like a delinquent, and this is all the rumors of Mouse being a delinquent came around. Bubi has been hanging out with her, and Mouse also skips classes to be with him, since Bubi doesn't really go to classes and how he looks, THEY ALL THINK SHE'S A DELINQUENT. Anyway, third song (Anarchy), as this is an introduction to the Monarchs of Hell, and really explains well the relationship they have. As Bubi tries to tell her about something weird going on, as he has heard a bunch of noises, the bell rings and Mouse quickly goes into the schoolroom leaving Bubi behind, as we see the cloud moving around.
- [First Class]
- After the class ends, Mouse is seemingly looking at her phone as a guy approaches her, Dickson. He, much like in the actual concert, tries to flirt around with her but he's bumped away by her sister who was in the same class, the Transfer Student Kson. As Kson explains to Mouse that her nasty younger brother only came here to give her a bento. And as they both start laughing, we are supposed to get another song in here, but Kson hears a noise outside (The Panini Scream) and they both quickly go out, seemingly a trail of 2D people and as we see the cloud, it takes their newest victim, Dickson. Mortified, both look at each other as Kson tells Mouse to get someone to help them out, only for Kson to get 2Dfied by the cloud.
- As Mouse runs through the Hallway, she sees Henya and Froot 2Dfied now, but this ends up causing Mouse's to bounce in someone's boobs and falling to the ground. Those boobs being Zen's, as we see the Student Council: Debate Club Leader and President GEEGA, Library Representative Haruka and All Star Sports Player Zentreya. All of them stopping the delinquent Mouse, and wondering if she had something to do with this, as we cut into our next song (REALiZE). The choreography for this song is really simple GEEGA, Haruka and Zen try to antagonize Mouse towards the progress of the song, but slowly and surely she gets them one by one to dance at the same pace, fitting for a song about a hero.
- We then go straight into our next song (VALENTI) with only GEEGA, although invisible to the audience, these two aren't really in bad terms, in fact what this song shows us is that they are the same but in different "sides", but now they have a goal in common. This is shown by how much they coordinate with each other in this song.
- As the three are willing to help her and find more people, they see the cloud coming for them. The three say they will gain time for her, and she should run into the cafeteria, where most people should be. We get a shot of the three looking intimidating, as the three fall directly into the cloud, and they all get 2Dfied lol.
- In her way she finds Bubi in the Hallway, and she wonders what he's been doing as he shows her that these people aren't dying or anything, but only stuck in a 2D form. Bubi then suggests is Mouse's time to actually be a hero and solve this mystery, Mouse looks unsure and we get the next song (God-ish).
- [Cafeteria]
- After all of that they both enter the cafeteria, before taking a drink and not looking at their surroundings, as we get our next song (Devil). Again pretty straight forward, this shows us how much Mouse and Bubi dance together and look like a good pair, we get why these characters are always together. Of course, this is unprompted, and is just Mouse having her delusions.
- Of course, Mouse gets quickly snapped back to reality by Bubi as he shows her the newest transferred student Matara already 2Dfied and drinking "wine" (since she's also a student she's actually drinking grape juice but from a wine glass) prompting Bubi to make a joke about it. They both turn around as they see Kuro having difficulties to open the door and then giving up, as well as everyone else in the room. Since they are on a 2D form, they can't do anything, they can barely move and their actions are limited. Mouse and Bubi look at each other and they know they have to fix this quick, so their next step is looking for answers in the Lab, as Bubi heard that there's maybe some answer in there.
- [Chemistry and Alchemy Lab]
- Nothing much happens other than Bubi looking around, but again is alone time for Mouse and Bubi, so Mouse has again her delusions over being an intimate conversation by our next song (Sour Taste, a change of order). As the song ends, Mouse gets alerted by Bubi over something they found, the two 2DFied pets (Froog and Gecko) and a weirdly placed pompom 2Dfied, and that's where their next clue is. The Gym.
- [Gym]
- As we arrive, Mouse sees and hugs Melody, who's fine in her Cheerleader outfit, but has weirdly two different pom poms. As both Mouse and Bubi joke about the Gym looking like a fortress while having a few students inside. They do both of their songs (Super Shy and Apocalypse Now) normally with the first one showing us how close they are, since in this world they are childhood friends, but it's the second one that's weird by the end in their choreography as Mouse notices that Mel dances in the same tune, almost as if she knew something (since it's Apocalypse Now, the conversation was about the cloud), Mel can't lie and admits that the Head Master called her to get everyone in the gym but everyone ignored her, telling Mouse that no one would pick her calls, and was only able to get a few, but the Head Master sent her to investigate (the shadow figure from the start). When Mouse is about to ask more about this, the cloud appears in the room and gets all of the students and Mel, who before of getting 2D Field tells her that the Head Master should be again in the classroom. As both Bubi and Mouse try to leave and move the barriers set by the students, they are only able to make a crack on it. So Bubi pushes Mouse through it, sacrificing himself to save her. As Mouse runs into the classroom worried.
- [Classroom]
- Mouse confronts the Head Master...? The Head Master isn't the room but a brain in a jar is. This is the Head Master's replacement, the real one went to do some business and left the Gunrun AI. The students left him there as they have been also making sure the 2Dfied people are safe. Mouse then asks the AI what is going on, and he tells her what happened with potion and how people are "falling flat". Then Mouse asks why hasn't the cloud hasn't gotten to her, but Gunrun explains that rats and mice are pretty well adjusted, Mouse gets insulted by being called a rat, but then she quickly smiles realizing something. She then asks what she's gotta do reverse everything, and he tells her, that she needs to attrack the cloud by making a lot of noise which is why the cloud has been attacking to people talking, and then use her power to spawn rats. Pushing the cloud into a device they set up and probably reverting everything.
- [Ending]
- Mouse, with the help of Gunrun AI and the students bring the affected 2D fied people into the front of the school before the cloud leaves to keep converting the world into 2DFied beings, as Mouse beings her first song to make the cloud come (as a concert it's a social event), (Not A) Devil.
- After the song ends, the cloud is closer and she looks behind to the students carrying the device, Mouse quickly performs a spell, making every 2D Fied person, Bubi and the talents into 3D rats wearing an accesory showing who they are. As Mouse performs her final song, Rodents Kingdom, while all the small rats dance around her. With it the cloud gets pushed into being trapped in the device, they turn it again into a potion, making the effects disseapear and by that making everyone into their 3D form. While showing us Kuro still in the door turning into 3D, and celebrating, as he then tries to open the door only to realize that it was actually locked.
- We then get everyone celebrating and cheering for the brave Hero, Ironmouse. And as she's walking she sees Matara still in her 2D form, with Gunrun AI saying the same joke of her not having a 3D model to get back, and Matara responding with "I'll have one soon you know" and Mouse laughing about it.
- We then get our actual ending, as Bubi is seeimgly running away, and Mouse approaches and stops him. He's nervous because Mouse is all smiling, so she reveals that even if she would have been caughted by the cloud, she would be alright so his sacrifice was for nothing, Bubi gets embarrased about it and tells her to zip it acting all tsundere. She then hugs him, and as Bubi can't deny that he was worried hugs her back surprinsing her as we fade to black, with those two in front of everyone.
- After the credits role, we get a exact one by one of the first lines Mouse said, but this time is not Mouse, is the "delinquent" Hime. She's just arrived into the school, and ends with her looking at the two together and all the mess wondering what the fuck did she missed while she was gone.
- The End.
