[The video begins with a fade from black onto the transformed city, panning down from The Voice's tower.]
An imposing tower extended into the sky, overseeing the landscape.
The city, glowing bright with industrial lights, was far removed from what it once was.
LCD billboards covered the walls, advertising foreign products, and what wasn't covered by these was made up for in neon lights a-plenty.
Flying robots with spotlights slowly hovered above, patrolling the streets.
Many people in the city were confused, trying to make sense of their surroundings. Crowds ran back and forth.
And in the middle of it all, stood a smol purple haired figure...
[Smol Nozomi fades into view, looking upwards in awe.]
???: ...
Her name... Nozomi. This was not the place she was used to. It felt like she was forcibly dragged out of her home...
[The scene fades to black.]
It all happened not even a couple minutes ago... Nozomi felt she had been sleeping for months.
The last thing she could remember was finally being able to sleep after a performance that seemingly went on forever.
[Several grayscale images from the prologue are shown sequentially: the figments being brought to the real world, and The Voice entering President Haltmann's chair and transforming the city.]
Then a flash of white, and suddenly, she awoke in a strange room.
All of her friends were there... but they were swept up, by a mysterious tall figure, who seemed to have a pyramid for a head.
The tall figure had broken through the roof of the room, and was making its way across the land...
As he flew across, he seemed to conjure giant skyscrapers out of midair.
Nozomi wondered how she evaded capture... perhaps she was too smol, and the figure did not notice her.
[The scene fades back to Nozomi in the city.]
And here she was now, in the middle of the city.
The lights bright, the robots on patrol, the people running around, trying the get their bearings. What was going on?
Nozomi knew there was only one thing she could do: find her friends.
She scuttled quickly across the streets, high and low, looking for some kind of lead that could help her find them.
[The scene cuts to a wall with a large screen, displaying green static.]
But then, suddenly, a sound played out of nowhere.
The people hustling and bustling stopped in place to turn to watch one of the many screens in the city.
Nozomi turned to watch he screen as well, and it flickered on... to reveal a tall figure, with a pyramid for a head!
[The screen's static fades into footage of The Voice Inside Your Head, standing next to banners displaying a symbol of his own head. The scene later changes to show only the footage.]
???: Citizens of Earth. Welcome to your new domain.
There is no need to be frightened. Please, make yourself at home.
Allow me to introduce myself. You may call me...
THE VOICE INSIDE YOUR HEAD.
The Voice: I hope you're all having a wonderful holiday season. I'm sure you will all enjoy the festivities in my new metropolis, GRANDIOSE CITY.
And if you don't, my Patrol-Bots will make sure you do.
Trust me when I say this is all for a greater good. After all, I am sure you are all familiar with a tumor upon our culture that plagues us all...
Weeaboo anime bullshit.
It has infected our once noble, pure culture with degeneracy and filth. Anime is, and always was a mistake. The music, the animation, the characters, the stories... all GARBAGE.
And by God. I will not let it ruin Christmas either.
So, it must be purged. All anime and weeaboos must be struck from the Earth.
In fact, why don't we start right now?
Ladies and gentlemen, I present... The Cinderella Girls.
[The scene cuts to footage labeled "CAMERA 07", showing the Cinderella Girls and their producer locked in a room.]
Producer: GET US OUT OF HERE!!
Kirari: We didn't even do anything!!
The Voice: The Cinderella Girls, from THE iDOLM@STER, are guilty of being idol trash.
And as we all know, there is only one true idol: me.
And we cannot have this idol filth plaguing our media any longer.
President Haltmann, will you do the honors?
[A large piston from the ceiling of the room suddenly crushes the Cinderella Girls, splattering blood on the walls, accompanied by sounds of crunching.]
WHAM! There was a loud crunching sound as a giant piston swiftly crushed the Cinderella Girls on-screen. The piston slowly retracted to reveal the bloody remains of them.
[The scene changes back to The Voice, now zooming in.]
The Voice: Take this as a warning. Defy my rule, and you WILL be punished.
I will create an all-new, perfect world, free from weebs and eastern influence.
You will all thank me later, trust me.
Hahahaha. But for now, why don't you just lay back and enjoy Christmas with your family? President Haltmann and I will be working 'round the clock to provide you with the highest quality entertainment possible.
We have plenty of musical performance in store. Get in the holiday spirit!
My mecha armies are being deployed across the world as we speak, bringing cheer to each and every human on Earth.
I look forward to speaking with you all again sometime...
Goodbye for now.
[The scene cuts back to showing the screen displaying static.]
[click...] The screens shut off. All the people witching started to murmur amongst themselves... clearly, there was even more confusion than before.
[Nozomi fades into view, now looking determined.]
And Nozomi... Nozomi knew that this was bad.
She had to find her friends...
[A Patrol-Bot suddenly appears as loud buzzing and blaring alarms play.]
???: FIGMENT DETECTED. FIGMENT DETECTED. CAPTURE IMMEDIATELY.
Nozomi turned around to find a hovering robot shining a spotlight on her, with sirens blaring!
[A Spheric suddenly appears and begins chasing Nozomi.]
Suddenly, a manhole opened and ejected a large, spherical mecha.
The mecha opened and closed its hands, and started to pursue Nozomi!
The crowds of people scrambled away in terror as the robot pursued the smol Nozomi, who was running away as fast as she could!
Nozomi had to find way to escape the robot and find her friends...!
[Text appears on-screen, reading "TO BE CONTINUED".]
