It has been a full day after the Peacekeeper and Alien fiasco, and Astro is set out to find any survivors beside ex President Stone that have been absorbed by the giant mess that used to be a robot monster. After about 30 minutes of searching, Astro found a boy, a young teenage boy about the age of 13. He examined the lifeless boy a bit closer and gasped when he realized it was none other than Toby. Astro picked up his cell phone and called his father Dr. Tenma.

As soon as Tenma heard the news about his son, he immediately rushed to his limo and Orrin drove him to where Astro was. Tenma opened the door and stepped out as fast as he could once he got to Toby. He picked up the lifeless child in his arms and his eyes began to tear up. Astro looked up at Tenma and sighed.

Astro:"What are we going to do with Toby?"

Tenma:"I-I don't kno- wait! I know exactly what I am going to do!"

Tenma carried Toby back to the limo and Astro followed them both to the hovering limo. As soon as the car started hovering, it headed toward the lab where the Ministry of Science is. Astro followed Tenma toward the lab suspiciously. Tenma looked down at the early teenage robot and smiled sweetly at him. Astro smiled back nervously.

Astro:"What's going on?"

Tenma:"I am going to bring Toby back to life, but I may have to use parts of your skeleton to bring him back."

Astro's eyes went wide.

Astro:"Will this work? Will he need my core?"

Tenma:"I don't think Toby will need your core, anyway, would you like to look older? Become more advanced?"

Astro:"Sure! It definitely would confuse people if I stayed like this with Toby walking around!"

Tenma laughed a bit and shrugged.

Tenma:"I know son, but maybe now you can be Toby's older brother! I bet Toby would like an older sibling!"

Astro:"Okay, I guess it wont hurt, but what will my friends think of me?"

Tenma:"I'm sure they will recognize you. After all, you are a hero now!"

Astro:"True. Alright, let's get this over with!"

Tenma laid Toby down on one of the lab work benches, and set Astro down on another bench next to Toby. Tenma suddenly heard the lab doors open and looked behind him to see Dr. Elefun.

Tenma:"Hello, Dr. Elefun!"

Elefun:"Tenma? what are you doing he-!"

Elefun noticed Toby and Astro lying on the work benches with wide eyes.

Tenma:"I'm bringing Toby back to life! Isn't this amazing?!?"

Elefun:"This is a bit wrong, Tenma!"

Tenma:"It isn't wrong if it's bringing someone back!"

Elefun sighed and walked up to the table where Astro is lying on. He looked down at the robot and noticed his core glowing. He took the core out and put it in a safe container while he worked on redesigning Astro and helping Tenma put the old robot skeleton in Toby's body. The whole process lasted a little more than a week. Elefun gazed at Astro's new body and put the core into his chest. He watched as the now late teenage robot boy slowly sat up and opened his eyes.

Astro looked down at his hands and almost gasped. Elefun looked into Astro's chocolate brown eyes.

Elefun:"How are you feeling?"

Astro:" I feel... different! I SOUND different! Did it work?"

Elefun:"Of course! See for yourself!"

Elefun gave Astro a small handheld mirror with a joyful grin on his face. Once Astro took the mirror, he jumped back a bit. He stared at his reflection in the mirror. He ran his fingers through his hair, the soft silky artificial hairs gently moving. Astro looked back up at the mirror and saw that his face had more detail to it. Chocolate brown eyes, messy black hair that can now be styled however he wished, an older look to him completely. More artificial muscles in his whole body, his face now had a more manly look, but he still kept the "boyish" look to him. If anyone would guess his age, they would say he looked around 17 at this point, but he liked it this way.

Astro:"Woah! This is so cool! I look older now, as if I aged a few years!"

Elefun:"I'm guessing you want to see your friends?"

Astro:"My friends! I need to see them! You're right!"

Astro gasped and put his hands on his head as if he just remembered something. Elefun stepped closer and put a hand on his shoulder hoping to comfort him. Astro looked up at the scientist.

Astro:"And what about Toby?"

Elefun:"Toby is just about finished, he should be awake by now!"

Astro turned his head toward where Tenma was and saw Toby in Tenma's arms, they were both hugging. Astro smiled at the sight, then turned back toward Elefun.

Astro:"Tell dad and Toby that I went to see my friends."

Tenma:"Where are you going?"

Astro:"I am going to see my friend Cora. I will be back by ten tonight!"

Tenma:"Alright, be safe. Toby and I are going to spend some time together."

Astro:"Alright, be back later!"

Astro ran out of the lab and flew out of a nearby open window. As he flew, he headed toward Hamegg's orphanage. Astro got closer to the building and realized Cora and the gand were heading toward the scrap heap. Maybe they are out looking for more robot parts for Hamegg?
