(A/N: This is just something that popped into my head one day. I really don't know what possessed me to write this.)

(Third Person Point of View)
The battle with Nemesis was over! Everyone was tired and worn out, both physically and mentally. Especially Ryuga, (A/N: Pretend he didn't disappear.) who was in a deep sleep, he had cuts, scrapes, torn clothing, possible broken bones and/or damage to his organs.
A helicopter, containing Gingka's Dad, Ryo, Hikaru, Benkei, Toby, Zeo, and a few doctors, landed, which caused, almost, everyone to sigh in relief. All of the worn out bladers piled into the helicopter, never more happy to be in a helicopter or to see a doctor in their entire lives.
Gingka and Kyoya helped get Ryuga in since he was still in a deep sleep. Hikaru was frightened at just the sight of Ryuga but quickly changed to being concerned when she saw what condition he was in.
Ryo helped his son and Kyoya with getting Ryuga on a gurney, not bothering to strap him in. He didn't strap him in for two reasons. One, despite what he's done in the past, Ryuga was in no state to fight or hurt anyone. Two, he didn't know the extent of his injuries.
The doctors did a check-up on everyone and aside from scratches and possible scars, the doctors concluded that everyone was fine. Well, almost everyone, the doctors did a check-up and found that Ryuga had much more injuries than everyone else. The doctors wheeled him a good 5-10 feet away from everyone and continued the check-up because they suspected that there was something else that was wrong with him.
About an hour later, while everyone was relaxing and eating, a doctor spoke up, "We did an evaluation of the young man and we found something that I think is going to shock all of you," the doctor stated. Everyone swallowed at that statement and prayed that it wasn't anything too severe.
"We found some scarring on his chest and ridcage, at first, we assumed that they were from the battle but we took a closer look and saw that they were surgical scars. The scars, to us, didn't look recent either, they looked like they had been there for some time. We're not completely sure but we think that they're at least 10 years old," the doctor explained his findings.
Just when everyone thought it couldn't get any worse, he then continued, "We also found that, sometime ago, he could've had some stomach problems. We aren't sure what kind but we are sure that it did happen at one time. But even worse," everyone swallowed, "we found that his pinky toes are single jointed, not double jointed."
"What?!?!" everyone, minus the doctors, and, well, Ryuga, obviously, exclaimed in shock. "What do you mean "his pinky toes are singled jointed"?!?!"
Another doctor spoke, "We're not sure, it could be genetic, a deformity, or something paranormal."
As if he sensed that they were talking about him, Ryuga woke up. "What are you talking about?" he asked in a slight raspy voice.
A doctor coughed then told him, "We found scars on your chest, traces of stomach trouble, and you're pinky toes are single jointed."
Instead of blowing a gasket, Ryuga just shrugged and didn't at all seem to be concerned.
"Are-aren't you worried about what the doctors told you?" Kenta asked both confused and worried for his friend.
"No," Ryuga shock his head, "not really."
"Why not?" Tsubasa asked.
"It's just, I've had these problems my whole life," it was a simple explanation.
"Care to explain?" Kyoya asked.
"Not really," Ryuga answered.
"Why not?" Yu asked.
"I just don't," Ryuga responded, roughly.
"Ok, ok, don't lose your temper, we were just curious and worried," Ryo explained in an effort to prevent Ryuga from exploding.
"Alright," Ryuga growled, slightly but didn't get angry, which relieved everyone.
"Now," Ryo calmly continued, "is it okay if I ask you a few questions?"
"I'd prefer it if you didn't," Ryuga declinded but then took something out of his pocket, it was some kind of projector but it had electrobes contected to it, "but you can use this."
"What is it?" Yuki asked, obviously interested in learning about the device.
"Memory reading device, all you have to do is attach the electrobes to your head and you can watch someone's memories," Ryuga explained.
"So, you mean that we can see your memories?" Yuki asked in awe. Ryuga just simply nodded.
"That'll have to wait for when we get back," Ryo chimed in and everyone agreed. Ryuga just closes his eyes and goes back to sleep.
X-O~X-O~X-O
(Time-Skip to the next day)
(Still Third Person Point of View)
They got back to Metal City about 2,3 hours after they got in the helicopter. Everyone spent the rest of the day resting and recovering. They should've still been resting but they were eager to see Ryuga's memories that day.
Ryuga had slept the entire day before in an effort to regain his strength, that also means that he hadn't eaten yet. There was a sandwich and an apple next him when he woke up, he devoured them in 5 minutes.
A doctor came into his room and informed him about the damage to his body. Surprisingly, it wasn't much, both of his legs were weakened but too broken, a couple fractured ribs, and some damage to his lungs.
He'll need a respirator and crutches, or a wheelchair, but otherwise he didn't need anything that would keep him grounded. He only needed the respirator and crutches, or wheelchair, for about a week or two. He choose wheelchair because he doesn't want to damage his legs any further.
He wheeled into the lounge area with his device in hand. Everyone was eager to see what it could do.
Ryo helped Ryuga to a chair in front of everyone else. Ryuga attached the electrobes to his forehead and temples, then turned on the device and placed it on the table in front of him.
His head suddenly dropped rested on his shoulder and his eyes were closed, indicating that he was asleep.
Everyone watched in awe as a crystal clear projection appeared, it kind of resembled a movie or TV screen in some way.
At first, everyone thought that it would be a bunch of memories of kids fighting but everyone was proven wrong when they heard a baby cried...
X-O~X-O~X-O
(A/N: Duhn, duhn, duhn, things are looking a bit dark here.O_O Sorry, if everyone is a little OOC. I wonder what Ryuga's memories will reveal about him and his family.)
