## Synopsis

Kaylee Tagetes is a young girl who excells in the field of botany. With the help of a flower with a monstrous face, she fuses plants and animals in a maw-like machine to sate her curiosity. These hybrids- known as Faunaflora- grow in numbers as she continues to fuse creatures, until her garden is filled to the brim with them. Despite other kids picking on her for this, she continues to create her botanical experiments. Her dog, Poppy, can only watch with horror

However, Kaylee soon finds herself unable to control these Faunaflora. A spider-like one bites her in the shoulder, and both her and Xelzerin gaze with fear as cuts appear all over Kaylee's body. She soon collapses from blood loss, likely dying as well. Xelzerin reveals his true form and uses his powers to revive Kaylee. With his catalyst alive once more, Xelzerin tells Kaylee that she is no longer of any use to him, tells her his name, and then throws her into the Faunaflora Reactor.

## **Description**

*-Log 45-*

 *Year: 2000*

*Month: June*

*Day: 26*

 *I found a strange paper at the sight of the anomaly. It appears to have what had happened here written in story form. Let me type it out here in case we lose the physical copy:*

 *“Kaylee Tagetes always had a knack for gardening. She was really good at it. Like, REALLY good at gardening. Unnaturally so. She could bring back life to any dead plant she touched, and all the seeds she planted grew.*

 *However, as she grew older, she became… curious about something. Almost like a mysterious force was feeding her thoughts. What was this thing she was curious about, you ask? Simple!*

 *What if she fused this here flower with this here insect, and made a new creature? By what means? That part… shall remain a mystery. Nonetheless, she did it.*

 *A few years passed, and now Kaylee had a gigantic garden feared by the whole neighborhood. Nobody would believe that that these plants were cognitive, and so, nothing was done about it. People just believed that the plants were decorations or animatronics, not actually akin to animals. Some kids picked on her for her weird plants, calling her various plant related names- the most common one that even Kaylee herself likes was Crazy-Head Mayzie.*

 *It would have made even more sense, if only the others could see the flower on her head, too.*

 *She started to get too curious. What if I fused an elephant and a tree? A field and a whale? What if I made planet Earth herself alive- and told her to swallow the people I hate?*

 *She rose up an army, absorbing all the bugs and birds and lizards into the labyrinth of her garden before they could escape. Not even her dog, her very best friend, was safe from the experiments.*

 *More and more they gathered up, until there came a time when she could no longer control these monsters… and it was at that moment when she was poisoned by a spider monster. Acid flowed through her veins, and caused cuts all over her body. She fell, passed out from blood loss. Probably dead.*

 *The mysterious force, annoyed at her apparent frailness, used some of his power to revive her. ‘You have created a perfect starting army for me. But now, you are of no use. You have used it up. However- I shall tell you my name as a prize for surviving this long.’ The being appeared as a great horned monster, covered in leaves, petals, and vines, and was the size of a house. ‘My name is Carnation, the Monster of Flora. You shall hear more about me in the afterlife- your time is up.’*

 *Before the horrified Kaylee could run, he picked her up. Into a giant maw she was dropped… no one ever saw her again as Kaylee Tagetes.”*

 *Extremely strange. What does this mean? Is this what happened literally? Could this be the work of paranormal beings, or something else? And that ending is kinda… abrupt.*

 *Carnation… Isn’t that the name of the plant monster from the element- apocalypse- whatever prophecy? You know the one, “In the year 2100, the apocalypses rises, fear the chrome god monsters and their trapped traitor humans”? That doesn’t make sense. Why would Carnation have woken up exactly 100 years before the others? Either way, now we at least have a clue on what happened to the poor 6th grader. I’m going to have to get a professional on that part about Carnation.*

 *Until I get updates, I’m logging this in. Don’t want to drag it on for too long.*

 *-End log-*

## Lyrics

[Kagamine Rin]

Lilies in my dreams

Talking, as it seems

Reveries at the seams

Follow the insect theme

It is quite divine

Eyes on the top of vines

It'll break a human's mind

Gather 'round, fauna-flora

Add ants to make it more

They're just plants, there's no gore

Crawlin' around the floor

Growing teeth just like a boar's

It is quite a sight

Clawed weeds are gaining height

Fight through them, though you might

Gather 'round, insectivora

So

One, Two, the ants go marching onwards

Into a world headed towards

A paradise

Of green ambitious vice

Say what you will about me

I can make all of them scream

Were you ever taught

Of things that cannot rot?

Rose thorns that burn you

Never at the zoo

They can crush, they can chew

On that day that they will rule

They're all my design

Though they're just not refined

Mammals left behind

The plants are my priorityyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

[Kagamine Len]

One, two, three, four and

Here we go into

Fusion of those things

A-a-a-again

Why can't she just

Enjoy the view

Of nature like how

It is meant to be,

ah...

Things that splinter

Things that shatter

Thing you may

Never ever ever wanna see

Growing lungs and

Growing tongues and

Now my skin's

Crawlin' crawlin' crawlin' in fear

Why?

Oh why? (x3)

Did you return here?

[Kagamine Rin and Len]

Three, four, the ants go slaying thousands

And shred the world into strands

Don't you dare

Go and crush my dreams!

Let it all rain down into your heart

It is all just a new art

Though, in the air

The spores just do not care!

Five, six, the ants go dying henceforth

Until I choose the right course

But I can't see

It all has just blinded me

Towards my throat is where the vines shot

I'm not who they should have fought

If it's the end

This is how I'd like it.

## **Trivia**

* This is Monstrosity's 4th song total.
* Arthur Tagetes technically appears in this video, as Poppy would become his monsterized form in the remake.
* The text from 2:47 to 2:49 reads as follows:
	+ *"The year is 2000. Even though the prophecy is for a hundred years from now... It seems that one of the [REDACTED] has awoken early, and is a young girl named Kaylee."*
