It seems that I'm not the first to be leaning toward apocalypse for inspiration, but hey, I have an original story. It includes MANY MANY bemani references, most are overly blatant, but to a person that had no knowledge of BEMANI, it would sound convincing. Let's see what you think:

APOCALYPSE -trial of soldiers-
by XepherBeatM

Chapter 1: A Warning

The first rays of the sun broke through the castle window. Dawn was breaking in Oratorio. Yuu woke to the sounds of birds singing outside of the window. She smiled softly, and got out of bed. She was held as the most beautiful woman in Oratorio, and was constantly being asked to marry by various rich suitors. Of course, being a princess of Oratorio helped her standnigs, but that's beyond the point.

"Not now, Taek," she said, as her cat wound through her legs. She picked him up and walked out of her room. Yuu often walked through the castle in her white nightgown. She felt like an angel in it.

The hallways were bright with light coming in from the large windows in the wall. Yuu was looking out of one when she was startled by another person.

"Princess Yuu?" someone said.

"Yes?"

"Your father wishes to see you in the library." The boy said. Yuu smiled.

"Thank you, Oliver." She looked around. "I'd better hurry. Daddy will be mad if I'm late."

She ran down the main stairs and across the hall to the library, where her father was waiting.

"Yuu, you're up." he said, grinning.

"Yes, Daddy. I'm up. Now, you said you wanted to see me?"

Her father came over. "Yes, I did. Yuu, I need to talk to you about something."

Her father's mood seemed to darken. Yuu got worried. What could be worrying him?

"Yuu, there have been some...issues... with Oratorio's neighbor, Arrynet. And I'm not sure how it is going to turn out."

Yuu looked away. Her dad knew how much she hated war and tensions between countries. Why was he discussing this with her then? It didn't make any sense! "Why are you telling me this?" Yuu asked.

"Look, darling. I only want you to know what is happenning, so that if things do get dangerous, you can get out of harm's way."

She pushed away and began to pace the room. War, with Arrynet? She knew the royal family at Arrynet. Why would they be warring?

Too many why's!

She ran out of the room and back to the upper hallways. She sat in the sill of the large windows and begn to cry softly. Why war? Why NOW!

Her brother, Zane, was walking down the hallway when he saw Yuu crying.

"Yuu? Yuu! What's wrong?" he asked, concerned.

"Everything," she weeped. "Everything is wrong."

"What are you talking about?" Zane replied. "Your birthday is in a few days, and the celebration will be fantastic!"

"Not if there's a war going on..."

"War?!"

Yuu had to explain to situation to her older brother. After the explanation, his look was grim. They both knew that Zane was part of the army. If there was a war, he would have to join the fight.

"Yuu, you have to listen to me. Yuu!"

She looked at him.

"Listen, we have to do something ourselves, we have to find out some things ourselves. Let's go. We have to find out what's going on at Arrynet."

Yuu nodded.
