(Serial Experimental Lain opening)
And you don't seem to understand
A shame you seemed an honest man
And all the fears you hold so dear
Will turn to whisper in your ear
Ala walked, sighing. Working on trying to find a Maverick that seemed too much of a coward to face her or Axl. She cracked her neck, later stretching.
And you know what they say might hurt you
And you know that it means so much
And you don't even feel a thing
Tyro is singing and dancing on the stage that her fans cheered for their favourite idol. The maverick hunters and Axl are watching her. Axl seems enjoy the concert to hear Tyro's song.
I am falling, I am fading
I have lost it all
Same people,
Same place,
And same reality
Are all the same in their worlds but there's different between them. The characters are the only ones who are different.
I am falling, I am fading, I am drowning
Help me to breathe
I am hurting, I have lost it all
I am losing
Help me to breathe
Chapter 1 - Life Is Stranger than fiction
~THOJATUW (Tyronica's MMX universe) ~
After Tyro's concert, all the people went home. The maverick hunters went home to the HQ. Tyro and Axl lied down on the heart shaped bed at Tyro's room.
"Maaaaan! I'm so sleepy," Tyro yawned.
"You know it. Are you sure that you have energy to work tomorrow?" Axl asked.
"Of course I'm sure, love. I can fight them with my massive blow," Tyro replied and then smirked. She climbed on the top of Axl.
"Um... You're still having your energy for doing this," Axl blushed as he faced at Tyro.
"Oh... are you tired?" Tyro asked with a lustful tone. She kissed on Axl's neck.
Axl's face became redder than a tomato. "Nope..." he answered. They're kissing and making love in the same time.
~Beloved Darkness (Ala's MMX universe) ~
Ala groaned, climbing up onto steep cement stairs. Following after Axl who had decided to run ahead. "Axl! Come on, wait up! You know I have short legs!" she yelled.
Axl chuckled. "And, that's my fault how? Look, you wanted to come see this place. It's not my fault you're puny." He teased, continuing ahead.
Ala had asked for him to take her to a mountain side for a hike, since she didn't want to go by herself. Though, she didn't realize she'd end up following him up the side that was the hardest to climb.
"There are easier trails you know!" she yelled, he laughed at her now dirtied face, and mangled hair. "Consider this training Soldier!" he yelled.
While Ala and Axl are on the run, a blue glitch appeared on the ground but it's gone. Ala and Axl didn't notice it.
~THOJATUW (Tyronica's universe) ~
"Tyro..."
"Mmm..."
"Tyroooo..."
"Mmmmm... Go to sleep..."
"TYRONICA NIGHTGALE! WAKE THE #$%^ UP!"
"Whooooa!" Tyro fell down on the bed but it was good thing that she covered her naked body by her blanket. Axl didn't hear anything because he's in a good sleep.
"Good thing that I woke you up," the girl in rocker clothes showed up.
"Sora, what are you doing here? Well, it's good that we see each other again but... why are you here?" Tyro asked.
"I'm here because it's a huge emergency. You need to wake Axl up. Sopheria and Hillarie wake the others up too," Sora replied.
"Oh...Okay," Tyro confused but she knows that it's very important. She slapped at Axl's butt. "Wake up, Axl! It's late for work!" she yelled.
"Huh! What?!" Axl got up and looked at the alarm clock. "Tyro, it's two in the morning. Go back to sleep," Axl groaned and went back to sleep.
"If you don't wake up, Sora will draw your face," Tyro said and put her clothes on.
"Wait! Sora is here?" Axl got up again and looked at Sora. Sora giggled to see Axl's reaction. "Sora, you're here. It's only two in the morning. Is there something happen?" he asked.
"No time to explain. No time to complain. Put your clothes on and we're straight to the living room," she said. She left Tyro's room.
~Beloved Darkness (Ala's MMX Universe) ~
Ala sighed in relief. Finally, Axl had stopped rushing ahead, after a possible 3 hours of falling behind him.
"Oh, so now you stop?" she groaned, as she looked around.
"Well... yeah." he muttered, looking behind himself and forward. "I think we're lost." he stated. The complete obvious at that.
"What?" Ala muttered, groaning angrily. "How the hell did you get us lost now?!" she yelled. He sighed, covering the ear piece she consistently yelled in. "Calm down, we'll get out of this.-"
"How Ginger?! How?!" she yelled, not like this was the first time this had ever happened, but Axl had a good way of getting them lost.
"Mm..." he mumbled. "Retrace our steps?" he questioned.
She sighed. "You're just hopeless aren't you?"
"Hey, look it's not my fault the trails are the same color as the dirt..."
"That's because the trails are dirt..." she muttered, rubbing her for head, irritated.
~THOJATUW (Tyronica's MMX universe) ~
Tyro, Axl, X, Zero, Hillarie, Signas, Angelo, Sopheria and Sora were at the living room. Sora is typing on the computer.
"Sora, is there a problem?" X asked.
"That," Sora pointed at the vending machine. The vending machine is glitching in blue and squares. Everyone saw it with a shock.
"The vending machine is glitching. Are we in Sword Art Online?!" Angelo shocked.
"Papa Bear, we're not in SAO. I think Sora is going to explain this," Tyro said. She looked at Sora.
"Sopheria, explain to them," Sora commanded to her sister.
Sopheria sighed and rolled her eyes. "Sora sensed something strange in your world and the other world. We don't know why but the glitch will delete anything or anyone without a reason," she explained.
"The glitch? Is it made by mavericks?" Zero asked.
"Apparently, no. It's a demon virus," Sopheria replied.
"So, you said that Sora sensed something strange in our world and the other world. Where's the other world?" Signas asked.
"Well, Commander. I'll show you this," Sora showed the video from the other dimension. They saw a cute female reploid with her black hair and green and red eyes.
"She's cute," Tyro replied with cuteness.
"That's Ala," Sora replied.
"And who's with her?" Hillarie asked.
As they looked even closer, they were shocked that Axl is in the other dimension.
"Holy $# %! Is that me?!" Axl gasped.
~Beloved Darkness (Ala's MMX Universe) ~
Ala sighed once more, following him closely. She flinched at the sounds of owls, and shivered as she zipped her jacket up to her throat. "I can't believe you got us lost..." she muttered, scoffing. Axl grinned. "Fine, I take responsibility for that, but I sense someone's happy to be stuck with me." he teased.
Ala rubbed her arm. "Not even close to the time to play around like that. It's dark, I want to get home, and I'm cold. So hush up." she finished, Axl pouted. "You mean, 'shut up' right?" he asked, "Shut doesn't go up." she muttered; both continuing to walk without any notice.
"Maybe I could ask Alia for coordinates..." Axl muttered...
...Silence...
"You mean you could have called her hours ago?!" Ala yelled.
"Calm down, it would have ruined the atmosphere. What you think I'd get us lost without thinking ahead?"
"I hate you so much tonight..." she mumbled.
"Ouch." Axl muttered, "Such hateful wording. Look, when we get home you can sleep in my room. Alright?" he asked, she smirked, later gripping his arm. "Fine." she replied.
~THOJATUW (Tyronica's MMX universe) ~
"...Um... Am I that dumb?" Axl asked.
"Nope, they got lost," Tyro replied.
"Look!" X pointed at the screen. The tree is glitching again.
"Oh! I see that too," Hillarie said.
"So, Axl is in Ala's dimension. That means X and I are in there too," Zero guessed.
"Correct but Tyro, Hillarie, Sopheria and I weren't there. So, we don't exist there because it's Ala's story," Sora explained.
"Um... I think they're lost. Baby Cake, you should help them," Angelo said to Tyro.
"Hmm... I guess you agreed that I can go there. Sora, are we going to that dimension?" Tyro asked.
Sora nodded. "Yeah but you need to changed your outfits. You really need this," she gave loom band bracelets to them.
"A loom band bracelet?" Axl confused.
"Actually, it's an anti-glitch bracelet. I'll show you. If you touch the glitch," Sora went to the glitching vending machine. She touched it but suddenly, the glitch touched her and absorbed her energy. Sora winced and quickly put on her anti-glitch bracelet. The glitch killed itself. "The glitch absorbs your energy slowly and deletes you forever. If I put this, the glitch got killed and you're safe," she explained.
"I see... It's very safe for them," Signas nodded.
After one hour, Tyro, Axl, X, Zero, Hillarie, Sopheria and Sora dressed up in different outfits so that the other dimension didn't notice them. They were wearing their anti-glitch bracelets.
"Baby Cake, be careful out there," Angelo hugged her daughter.
"Don't worry, Papa Bear. I'll be fine," Tyro hugged him back.
"I'm with her by her side, Mr. A." Axl said.
"Commander, can you tell Alia and Iris about this?" Zero asked.
"Of course, they will understand," Signas nodded.
"Thank you, Commander Signas," X thanked.
Sopheria opened the portal for them. "The portal is open. We're going," she said.
"Good Luck, hunters!" Signas and Angelo waved to them.
All of them entered the portal to Ala's universe.
Suddenly, Tyro screamed and fell on the ground. She groaned and got up.
"Ouch! This is not a good landing," she taunted. She looked around but everyone disappeared. "OMG! I think I'm lost. I better find them," she started running. "Hey! Hello! Anyone! Jabba the Pug!" she screamed to hear them but no one's there. "Hmm... I could blame Sora for-Oof!" she bumped at someone and fell on the ground. She rubbed her temple.
"Owie! Sorry about- Holy Sio pao!" Tyro gasped that she bumped at Ala and Axl (BD).
Ala jumped, looking at Tyro. "O-oh, y-you okay?" she asked. "You just bumped into me... you're not lost to are you?" she asked, Axl (BD) raised a brow at Tyro, looking slightly confused on how she had just suddenly appeared out of nowhere. He later, gripped Ala's shoulder lightly. "Hm?" She looked at him, as he tugged her slightly.
"Don't... just jump to being nice Al." he muttered. "Their fine Axl. I think their just lost..." she replied. "Like we will still be if you don't contact Alia..." she sighed, Axl (BD) groaned."Alright..." he muttered.
Ala sighed, giving a hand out to Tyro, "Hey, here let me help you..." she said.
"Arigato (thanks), Ala-" Tyro gasped that she said Ala's name. She jumped quickly. "Alalalalalalalala! I am super-duper okay to the max!" she cheered. 'Phew! That was close. If I say it, they were shock about this. Okay, Tyro, be yourself and be friendly to them,' she thought in her mind.
"I'm the one who bumped you. Sorry about that. I'm Tyronica Nightgale. It's nice to meet you... Um... don't worry about me. I'm just a girl with fashionable clothes, strawberry hair and big boobs," she said.
Ala looked at her confused, raising a brow in confusion. "Weird... You nearly said my name... unless that's you're cheer or laugh." she muttered, rubbing her head. Axl (BD) wrapped an arm around her tightly. "I'm not sure about this Ala..." he muttered. "They just appeared out of no where... if that's not suspicious than what is?" he asked.
Ala sighed. "I know it seems funny..." she replied."Listen, Tyronica right? It's alright. You didn't do it on purpose." she smiled. "Let's just be thankful you rammed into me, instead of this grumpy one right here." she teased, pointing at Axl (BD), where he pouted. "I'm not grumpy..." he muttered.
Tyro blinked that Axl from Ala's dimension is more different than her Axl.
"Um... Okay. Just call me 'Tyro'. I'm not an enemy. I'm just new here and it seems that you two are lo-" she stopped that she saw a glitch creature behind the forest. "Let's go back home. I will help you find the way. It's veeeeeery dangerous out there," she said.
"How's it dangerous?" Ala asked. "Axl has his gun anyhow, so we're fine..." she muttered, Axl (BD) yawned."And, he's... pretty bored..." she sighed. "I called Alia, so she knows we're coming home soon, I guess we can just have Tyro help for now." Axl (BD) muttered, looking at Tyro with a confused look.
"Why are you looking at me like that?" he asked, raising a brow.
Tyro noticed him. "Oh! Hahahahaha! You're very lucky that your girlfriend is cute," she giggled. 'Okay, I should tell Axl that his twin brother is very funny.' she thought her mind again.
Ala, Axl (BD) and Tyro walked to the forest together. Suddenly, Tyro's phone is ringing. She answered it.
"Hello?"
"Tyro, where are you? We're looking all over for you," it was Axl from her dimension who called her.
Tyro knew him but she doesn't want to tell his name because she's with Axl and Ala. "Um... Love, I'm with Axl and Ala. So, please don't be shock," she said.
"Whoa! You found them. Great! So, how did my other self doing?" Axl (THOJATUW) asked with a cheerful mode.
"Well... grumpy and awkward," she replied.
"Huh! I'm not that grumpy," Axl (THOJATUW) pouted.
"No-no! It was their first time to see me. They found something suspicious about me. If they ask me, I'm getting a breakdown."
"Tyro, relax. Say something else. If I'm there, I'll tell them. Sora said that my other me's gun didn't work at the glitch. He needs to wear an Anti-glitch bracelet to kill them."
"Alright, thanks for the warning. I'll protect them. I better go. I love you, love," she said.
"I love you too, Tyro," Axl (THOJATUW) ended the call.
Tyro sighed. Then, she felt something strange again. The wind blew stronger. The trees are glitching everywhere. "This isn't good," Tyro whispered. The huge, glitch, monsterous wolf roared. As Ala, Axl (BD) and Tyro noticed.
"Oh $# %!" Tyro shocked.
