Simply Virtuoso
Episode 1: Enter Virtuoso

{Out of all the places in the entire world, I had to be in the Rejuvenalization Chamber, but I pretty much had this coming thinking I could steal that car without getting caught by anyone.}, said a woman’s voice, {Last thing I remembered was being escorted to this chamber with what looked like theatre seating for 20 people, on the left of me was a crying fox murderer and on the right was a rabbit woman who was severely beaten by her husband with no chance of survival, except for Rejuvenalization}, the voice added, being they were being drag to none other than the Rejuvenalization Chamber, a form of punishment invented by Tina Fox to eliminate overcrowding in prisons and cut down on repeat offenders.

“Everybody, the faster you cooperate, the faster we’ll get all of you on the Rejuve database”, shouted Tina Fox as she lead the scared, crying, and some brave criminals and injured people to the dreaded chamber at the end.

{I am Virtuoso Lydia Cat and I was once a noblewoman, until that damn car got me arrested and now I’m sentenced to 10 hard cycles for my mistake}, said Virtuoso as her group went single file into the chamber leading up to the events that begins out little story.

“No one will be released, until your eyes gets readjusted to the light, after they do walk your naked ass to the best of your ability to the door and claim the jumpsuit that matches your collar”, said Tina with a stern smile that no one could see until a few minutes later, “OK I see your eves are adjusted so I’ll release you, single file, grab a jumpsuit, and go to the holding cells to wait for your Rejuve Parents to come.

Rejuve Parents being people who passes the Rejuve Parent Test and gets assigned a Rejuve to raise, until they either turn 12 or paroled and some, like me would have to go through the Rejuve Process yet again.  Then all the bounds that kept us at bay was released and everyone got up and headed to the door, except for the young rabbit that fell because her legs.

“Hey, let me help you, miss”, said Virtuoso as she dodged the children to help the young rabbit girl to her feet.  “Thanks”, the little rabbit said as she was blushing, “My name is Blueberry, assaulting a police officer, and your name”?

“My name is Virtuoso, grand theft auto, pleasure to meet you”, said Virtuoso as she aided Blueberry to the door.  “Congrats for you two being the last two here, but you had a good reason and if I didn’t know better, I would think you were never a criminal, Virtuoso”, said Tina as she gave the last two kids their jumpsuits.

“Thanks, ma’am”, said the two girls as they quickly put their jumpsuits on.  “Now hurry to the waiting cells while we prep for the next batch of people”, ordered Tina as she pushes the two girl out of the chamber.

A few minutes later, the girls shared the same cell waiting for their Rejuve Parents to come.  “Which famous person do you wish would be your dad?” asked Blueberry curiously.  “I would like Danny Alejandro Porcupine to be my dad, imagine being the daughter of the White Overlord and you”, answered Virtuoso confidently.

“I would love to be Tiger’s daughter because I want to be more agile and maybe even become a noble thief myself”, answered Blueberry as her Rejuve parent came in.  Blueberry’s Rejuve Parent was a slender hedgehog woman in her mid 20s with purple fur wearing a thieves cloak and equipped with a beautifully decorated Resistence Dagger and the figure said, “Blueberry, I’m here to take you back to my abode and raise you like I raise my two kids, Xion and Cassandra”.

After hearing those two names, Blueberry hugged her hard knowing her dream came true and her parent was Mia “Tiger” Hedgie.  “Yeah, you’re lucky, I don’t know my parent yet”, sighs Virtuoso as her caretaker came in being a light blue porcupine in his early 20s donning the White Overlord attire, containing a Kingly Cape complete with White fur with Black spots and a White and Gold crown.

“Hi, uh…Virtuoso”, said the porcupine looking at the paper, “I’m your Rejuve Parent, but you can call me Danny”.  When she heard the name Danny, her ears perked out happily and she tackled him to the ground.

“Oomph”, sounded Danny as he hit the ground, “We better leave before we got mistaken for criminals”.  “Yeah, very”, said Tiger as she escorted Blueberry out of the cell.

“I hope I get to meet her again”, said Virtuoso as she got off Danny.  “I know you two are friends and she lives near my castle, I say one of my many Rejuve neighborhoods near my castle inside the city walls.” This fact coming from 95 percent of all Rejuves in the world lives in specialized neighborhood with only about 10 percent lives in normal neighborhoods.

“We better head to my personal aircraft carrier”, said Danny as he tried to open, but wasn’t opening, “Is someone there, please help us get out of here”.

During all of Danny’s exclaiming Tina Fox heard them and said, “Is that damn door stuck again, I meant for SkyLab’s technicians to fix that door for a long time”.  Sky Lab was once Earth’s most renowned scientific lab floating in the skies over the new world that now contains Mobius, the Netherworld, Rubenestia, Celestria, and of course Earth.  Danny then said as he grabbed his sword with his aura powers, “I can fix that door”.

Danny then guided his sword and cut around the door frame causing it to fall and then said as he grabbed Virtuoso’s hand, “Too easy, now I and my new daughter will be leaving”.  Danny and Virtuoso then left for “The Flying Monster”, his own personal flying machine with heavy armor and in the back a supply of Danny’s blood in case a transfusion is needed.

“Wow, what a nice ship”, said Virtuoso as she looked at it, “I guess being the White Overlord has it perks”.  Actually, this wasn’t a perk of the White Overlord, but that of the NorGeneral of the Resistence, a group of freedom fighters like Mobius’s Freedom Fighters. “Actually, it’s a perk of the NorGeneral of the Resistence, but I got you something inside”.

Virtuoso was excited about what she wanted and ran inside to see a box.  Danny then walked in and said, “You must learn to be patient, but I’m not punishing you this time being your first day and all.  Go ahead and open your new friend”.  Virtuoso tore into a box like a kid at Christmas and when she was done tearing the wrapping paper, there was a naked, cat plushie wearing only a Hard-Cycle Rejuve Collar.

“Thank you, daddy, I will name her Roxie”, said the little cat as she hugged her new friend.  “No problem, I love you more than anything in this world, except my lovely wife and Mallory and Daniel, my two lovely children”.  

In the Living Room of Tiger’s Rejuve Home in the Rejuve Section of Dandarido City, Blueberry was sitting on the couch.  “OK, Blueberry, I am Mia Hedgie, you can call me mommy or Tiger.  I know hard-cycle criminals don’t live a cushy life and I will be no exception.  You will be watch at all times, except in the bathroom and sleeping”, said Tiger in a stern manner.

“OK, mommy, so will you allow me to visit my new friend who lives in that huge castle outside the city”, asked the shy little bunny.  “Sure you can visit her; you know I work under Danny.  I’m sure that I can drive you to and from the White Overlord’s Castle, but there’s a lot of near naked demon girls and exploding penguins in that castle, so be careful.  Of course, the naked demon girls was referring the Nekomata Class and Succubus Class of monsters, popular in the Netherworld, and the exploding penguins refers to the Prinnies, the weakest, but most explosive demons in the Netherworld and criminals paying for their crimes like the Criminal Rejuves.

“Thanks, mommy”, said Blueberry as she hugged Tiger, “I met this girl name Virtuoso and she helped me in the Rejuvenalization Chamber by picking me up when those kids would of trampled me to death and I owe her my life”.  Tiger gasped at what she said about owing her life to Virtuoso and a flashback started that taken place in an attack on a Resistence Thieves Guild Hall.

“Damn, we have taken heavy casualties, why would they attack at the dead of night.  Also where is our Resistence Backup?” shouted Tiger as she was fighting off the JPA soldiers, until the JPA knocks her knife away from her and knocked her down.  “TERMINATE PEST FOR THE GLORY OF JOSH”, said the machine as it attempted to shoot her, but she kept jumping back until she hit a wall.

“Looks like this is the end for me”, said Tiger as Danny, as well as his soldiers went in and saved her by destroying the JPA Soldiers, “Thanks, Danny; I owe my life to you…”

Back in the present, Tiger said, “I owe my life to someone, too, and it’s the White Overlord.  So it’s OK to owe your life to your saviors”.  Blueberry looked surprised knowing who the White Overlord was and said, “Danny Alejandro Porcupine, that’s who he is.  I saw him at Skylab after my Rejuvenation.”

“Of course, he passed the Rejuve Parent’s test with a 100% and I taken it a few days later and matched that score”, said Tiger as she sighed.  “Wow, you must be really knowledgeable in the field of Rejuves.” said Blueberry in a comforting way.

“Yeah, it’s no big deal; we both got the special licenses to take on Padawans as were everyone else who scored 90% or above”, said Tiger as she grabbed her car keys to a very excited Blueberry.

While over at Danny’s Castle, Danny just got through showing him around his glorious, luxurious six floor castle with a beautiful garden in the courtyard.  “Well that’s my castle, a big place and that’s why I put maps all over the place so people won’t get lost and that concludes the tour, except for my office, which is somewhere you don’t want to be called to”, said Danny jokingly, “It won’t always be trouble, but it where I do most my business in”.  Then Danny turns around to see the two nearly asleep Beset Nekomatas and stomps his foot to wake them up and they said tiredly, “Nothing to report, master”.  Danny then said, “You two are officially off-duty; go get some sleep it’s time for the Hecate shift now”.

All the two Besets saluted and shouted, “YES SIR”.  Then the two Besets left as two Hecate Succubae flown up to Danny and saluted, “AWAITING ORDERS, SIR”.  Danny then plugged his ears due to the shouting and said, “Don’t yell out like that, your orders is guarding the waiting room entrance to my office”.  “Yes, my sexy master”, said the Hecates as they taken up the spears to protect the office door as a Ringtail Nekomata approached Danny and said, “Sir, Tiger awaits you in the Foyer, my sexy master”.

“Thanks, remind me to gives all of you fine people raises and help yourself to any fish you find in my kitchen.  Since I found that Nekomata trapped in a snare trap someone made, it’s been a miracle other ones found me”, said Danny with a smile on his face as he headed to the Foyer.  Virtuoso followed Danny and asked, “What about the sexy bat ladies”?  Danny said, “Well that’s different story, I remember it like it was yesterday…”

Another flashback happens with the setting of a frozen, icy area and Danny heading towards Christmasville, until he hears a cry for help.  “Help anyone, I’m trapped in the ice, said the voice as Danny approached where it was coming from and said, “I’m here, don’t worry.  You will have to just sit there, until I can find some people and some equipment, but I will not just run away”.  Danny then ran off to Christmasville and come back an hour later with help and equipment and said, “I heard the voice right here, we need to get her out before she dies”.  The people worked hard chiseling the ice, until they got her out and she said, “Th-th-th-thanks, mi-mi-mi-mister”.  Danny then introduced himself, “I’m Danny Alejandro Porcupine and let’s go to Christmasville to nurse you back to health”

The scene went to the Foyer, “I nursed her back to health and she gave me something in return, her undying loyalty and like the Nekomatas I became a magnet to them and almost had sex with some of them and had sex with quite a few”, said Danny as he opened the door, “Hey Tiger and uh…Blueberry was it?”

“Hi, Mister Danny”, said Blueberry wearing blue jeans and a lovely pink tank top.  “Cut the formalities bullshit and call me Danny”, said Danny blushing, “Welcome to my fine home, don’t mind the Nekomatas and Succubae roaming around here, they are my personal guard”.  “OK, I won’t mind the nearly naked monsters going around this house.  So Virtuoso, can you show me your new room”, asked Blueberry.  Virtuoso said in a pink dress with white princess gloves, “Sure, I’ll lead you there”.  Blueberry and Virtuoso began to run to Virtuoso’s Room and Danny shouted, “Not so fast”.

Danny then addressed a Bowmaw Nekomata, “Follow them and keep an eye on them”.  “Yes, my master.  I’ll make sure to report anything wrong they do”, the Bowmaw said with a salute and then followed them to Virtuoso’s Room.  “So you don’t trust them, huh?” asked Tiger.  “Nope, it’s our duty to have them monitored so when they get into trouble, we jump in and deal the respective punishment”, said Danny, “and that Bowmaw will tell me about them doing anything wrong because her fish supply is depends on obeying me”.

Up in Virtuoso’s Room, which is a large, very luxurious room with a big four poster bed, luxurious furnishing, and a state-of-the-art computer, Virtuoso holding Roxie is sitting on her bed with Blueberry as Blueberry said, “Wow, what a cute plushie.  Danny gave you that?”  Virtuoso confidently replied and said, “Yep, he such a nice man, a little bit overprotective, but nice for a Rejuve parent”.  Blueberry looked at Roxie and said, “Tiger’s OK, I guess, but we live in a lot less luxurious settings in the Rejuve Neighborhood and I love your plushie, does it have a name?”  Virtuoso just held onto Roxie tight and said, “Her name is Roxie and Danny even put a Collar on it so I wouldn’t feel like the odd one out.  Maybe we should spend the night together?”. “The rabbit wants to know if she could spend the night here.  Oh, then I’ll go and tell her then, over”, said the Bowmaw on her walkie-talkie, “Danny and Tiger agreed to it because it would be a good idea for you two to get to know each other a little bit more”.  Both Virtuoso and Blueberry happily shouted, “YIPPEE”.

While in Virtuoso’s Room, Virtuoso said, “I know I have a mother and a daughter, but my mom isn’t a Rejuve Parent and not allowed to punish me and I have a sister named Mallory and a brother named Daniel, but know nothing anything about them yet”.  “I know I have a father named Zack and two siblings named Xion and Cassandra”, said Blueberry, “And I heard we won’t go to school here, but we will go to Will O’ Wisp Academy for Kids with Special Powers in Flowertopia, due to the lack of Rejuve education in Dandarido City”.  “I remember Sarah Catherine’s press conference where she announced that there will be no Rejuve Education in Dandarido City, but opted to align with her old friend and her school.  She never mentioned it was Tina or Will O’ Wisp Academy, so I didn’t know the details”. The talking started to fade.

“Well, that the end of the first day of being a Rejuve, hope you enjoyed it”, said a mysterious voice, “Because I, Episode, sure enjoyed it because I enjoyed my first day on the job”.
