This is chapter 1 of the continuation story for AATC's alternate ending 1: Waking the Dead. It will be called "Back to the Adventure!"

In that ending, Dina's friends were all killed by Saige, but then they were all revived and released from the medals after Saige's death. This will basically be them going back to their normal lives. (Except for the fact that they have robotic limbs, gadgets, and powers.) It may start out boring, but I'll try to make it get better later in the story, so please be patient.

Now that that's out of the way, let the story begin!

Chapter 1: Our (Somewhat) Normal Lives

*Dina's POV*

Now that everyone has been revived, and they aren't trapped in medals, we can get back to our normal lives. Well, normal other than the fact that we have robotic limbs and implants, crazy gadgets, and awesome powers. Selena and Banette have officially joined the Patrol Team, meaning that they got Joe's approval. Banette stays in her human form most of the time, but it's hard for her to hide the dragon wings attached to her back when she's in public. Selena's specialty is creating gadgets to help out, and also healing any injuries we get. So far, we haven't needed her to heal us, but you never know when something will happen.

It was the day after all my friends were killed and revived. It was a scary moment for me, I'll admit. I didn't know if the revivals would even work, let alone that they wouldn't be trapped in medals, either.

There was also something else I wanted to know about that day, though.

"Hey guys, I wanted to ask you something." I told them.

"What's that, digadig?" Pauleen asked.

"What happened after Saige killed you guys?" I asked.

"What do you mean?" Todd asked.

"I think what she means to ask is 'What was it like to be dead?' Right, Dina?" Rupert asked.

"Yeah." I replied. "I mean, I know it's a silly question, but I always wondered what people saw or felt when they died. I don't want to find out for myself, but I wanted to know from someone who has experienced it."

"I'll tell you one thing: it wasn't fun to get killed." Todd said. "Bleeding to death after getting shot in the heart is very painful."

"At least I got shot in the head, digadig. I died instantly, so it didn't even hurt." Pauleen explained.

"I was out cold when I died, so I didn't feel anything." Rupert said.

"I got shot in the head, as well." Selena said.

"Lucky…" Todd said.

"Actually, you're all luckier than me." Banette said. "I got shot in my lung, so I basically drowned on my own blood. It hurts like hell, I'll tell you that."

"I wouldn't doubt it." I said. "But I meant after that. I was talking about the time between your deaths and your revivals."

"All we did during that time was watching the fight between you and Saige." Rupert said. "I noticed that the others looked normal, except for their transparent skin and the fact that their eyes seemed to glow. They were even wearing their normal clothes. I actually didn't realize I was dead until I saw my bloody corpse on the ground and noticed the others. As for what we felt, we couldn't fell anything at the time."

"Oh, okay." I said. "Speaking of Saige, her death must have been a very painful event until I stabbed her. I think that you're all luckier than she was."

"Oh well, it's not a big deal." Todd said.

"So what should we do today, digadig?" Pauleen said.

"Let's do something fun." I said. "We haven't had a chance to have fun for a while because of the craziness lately."

"Okay, what did you have in mind, digadig?" Pauleen asked.

"I don't know, just something fun." I said.

"Maybe we could explore the forest again." Rupert suggested. "We never did finish that, and now that all our enemies are dead, it should be safe."

"Sounds good to me!" Todd said.

"Okay, digadig!" Pauleen shouted.

"Sounds good!" I said.

"Alright, sounds like fun." Selena said.

"Yay!" Banette shouted.

"Then let's go!" Rupert said.

So the 6 of us headed to Treasure Lake once more, so we could explore the forest.

And that's it for this chapter! Like I said, I'll try to make it more interesting later on. But for now, leave a review if you liked it!
