I finally updated my story. This chapter was so hard to write but I'd like to thank Rock Raider for all the help. Most of the ideas in here were his, I just put an "Esther twist" as my friend Todd would say on it. Okay enough of me yammering

Disclaimer: I think we've established by now I don't own the Care Bears, or the Cousins, or the cloud mobiles, or the sky, or the walls, or the flying monkeys, or...oh wait, there are no flying monkeys...nm!

Fauna and her team had successfully rescued Bedtime from his crystal form and were now in the Industrial district of London, England. It had been 5 days since the two groups split and they were waiting to check in with the others. The factory they were in was once used for building robots and other robotic machines. Now it was abandoned, the owners having angered Empress Shrieky, had disappeared overnight.

Fauna was on the catwalk watching the horizon darken as the daylight vanished. The curfew had started a little while ago, leaving the streets of this once bustling city deserted. Cozy Heart, Gentle Heart, Grumpy, and Bedtime were sitting on the ground floor talking about the good old days when everyone was still in Care-A-Lot.

"Remember during one of Tender Heart's briefings when Playful Heart and Funshine rigged the microphone so it sounded like he was quacking when he talked into it?" bleated Gentle Heart.

Cozy Heart chuckled, "Yeah, he yelled at them so bad and..."

Bedtime interrupted her, "They just rolled their eyes at him. I think that was one of the few meetings I was awake.

Grumpy nodded, "I think the only person who ever stayed awake for all of the meetings was Love-a-Lot and she was just doing it to be nice." The others chuckled. "If we ever see him again and get back to Car-a-Lot, I promise I will pay attention at all the briefings from now on." They nodded soberly and fell silent for a short time.

Beastly had opted to stand watch outside in order to keep away from the vengeful Care Bears. Sticking his pinky finger in his ear, he dug around with an ugly look on his face. (Well uglier then ususal.) Because of this action, and the fact he has the IQ of my favorite pen, he didn't notice the large, dark, metallic form heading into the factory towards the others.

It moved slowly down the hall, intent on reaching those harbored in the factory. Gentle Heart was the first to hear the sound of a machine coming up the hall.

"Hey, something's coming. It sounds like some type of machine."

Quickly they got to their feet and prepared to do a Care Bear stare. "Get ready to stare..." A R-110 robot came into view. "Care Bears stare!" The colored beams hit the robot head on, driving it back. Raising it's arms it waved them about shouting. "Please stop. I don't want to hurt you."

Grumpy faltered, somehow he felt like he knew this robot. He stared at the robot intently, trying to find some clue that would help him remember. "The lightning no longer shuts me off."

"Q-bot! What happened to you? Last time I saw you, you weren't any taller then me or Bright Heart."

His light strip eye blinked. "There was an accident."

Flashback

Q-bot was rolling down the streets of some city on Earth, humming to himself and enjoying the nice day. Passing some of No Heart's shadows, he heard them communicating with the evil sorcerer himself. "Since Fauna and Blue have 'flown the coupe' we are going to use this opportunity to destroy Pegasus Falls. There is no one strong enough there to defeat me, and it's destruction will mean a great blow against that ex-assistant of mine." Q-bot started towards pegasus falls. "They are friends of Grumpy and Bright Heart, I have to warn them." As he arrived at the entrance, he was relieved to see No Heart hadn't arrived yet. Wheeling forward he started to look for a pegasus to warn. Soon he came across a black pegasus with 4 grey stockings. "Please, you must run. No Heart is coming here to destroy you. He knows Fauna and Blue are gone. You and the others have to go." The pegasus looked up, behind Q-bot. "Your too late. I'm here. And that means the end of this place. And you!" Q-bot faced the sorcerer, visibly shaking, "Go, I'll stop him." The pegasus fled as Q-Bot pulled a laser gun out of his chest compartment. He fired shot after shot at No Heart, but he was shaking so badly his aim was way off. "You can't defeat me." "But I can try." His laser gun shorted out, giving No Heart the opening he needed. Using a spell No Heart levitated the little robot to the base of Pearl Head Mountain. With his other hand, with his other hand, he loosened a boulder and brought it to hover over Q-bot. "Say goodbye, you annoying machine." The boulder fell on Q-bot, crushing his body. The pegasus had returned and seen the whole thing. Whinnying he charged at No Heart, pounding him with his hooves. Countering, No Heart zapped the pegasus with a large ball of magic. Then he threw him repeatedly against the mountain base. Letting him go, the pegasus fell like a ton of bricks and didn't get up. "This will be easier then I thought." No Heart and his shadows spread out through pegasus falls, zapping the inhabitants as they went. When that was done, they set fire to the falls burning everything. No Heart cackled in a most John Allerdyce/Pyro way as he watched it burn. "My work here is done. Let's see Fauna stop me now."

Fauna and Blue had sped home as fast as they could with the pandas. They'd felt something wrong, something bad happening back home. When they touched down, all that was left of their beautiful home was a charred wasteland, still smoldering. "No!" Blue started to whinny anxiously, trying to see if anyone answered. Fauna was running everywhere at once, looking for her friends. Perfect and Polite just stood there, helpless and unknowing how to comfort Fauna and Blue. Just then, Perfect heard a soft whinny coming from behind him. "Blue, over here!" The roan pegasus charged forward and saw the black and grey who had fought No Heart. "Fauna come quick. I found Thunder." Running at her top speed Fauna joined Blue. "It...was...No Heart. He...did it." Fauna's eyes began to glow. "Come on Thunder, you can make it." Blood was starting to trickle from his mouth. "The robot...the robot!" Was the last thing he said. "What did he mean, 'The robot'?" "I don't know, Blue?" He was listening to a rock. Polite leaned over to her brother, "Okay he's finally lost it." "Well wouldn't you if your home and everyone you cared about had just been destroyed." "I'm not crazy. Listen it's beeping." Fauna stared it, blowing it apart. Q-bot's wrecked body became visible. However his head was strangely undamaged. "He must of tried to stop No Heart." "Quick we have to get him a new body. Fauna?" She was starring at the charred remains of her home. "We'll make him pay. He'll pay with his own blood." Spreading their wings, they flew to the robot factory in London. Once there in a new body, provided by the scientist Dr. Finklestein (virtual cookie if you can tell me what movie this guy is from), Q-bot was able to relay footage of his fight with No Heart.

End flashback

"Since then I've been looking for crystals to give to Fauna and the pandas."

At that moment, Fauna's communicator started beeping. Jumping down from the catwalk she hurried over to the others. setting the communicator on the ground, she pressed a button, causing a holographic picture of Blue and his team to appear. They seemed to be somewhere cold because Fauna could see snow falling outside the window.

Perfect's voice began to emit from the communicators his holograms lips began to move. "How's it going guys?"

"Fine. We got Bedtime okay and" Fauna pointed over her shoulder "we met up with Q-bot."

"That's great. Look who we found." He moved aside so they could see Champ, Brave Heart, and Proud Heart.

"Hey everyone. It's so good to see you again. Are you doing okay?"

"Were doing purrrrrrrrrfectly fine now that..."

Q-bot cut in excitedly, "Oh that reminds me. I have something for you all." He opened his chest compartment and reached inside. Grumpy's, Cozy Hearts, Gentle Hearts. Bedtimes, and Fauna's symbols began to blink. When his arm emerged, he held a light blue crystal and a light purple crystal. "I found these in China a couple of months ago. The purple one is Bright Heart and the blue one is Tugs." He handed the crystals to Gentle Heart, who set them carefully on the floor. "Stand back everyone." She chanted the spell to free her friends; the others shielded their eyes as the crystals exploded.

Tugs took one look around and started to cry. "Where are Grams Bear and Hugs. I promise I'll let her ride my skate board." He choked between sobs. Gentle Heart hugged Tugs, trying to calm him down. "Maybe I should take him somewhere quieter so he won't be upset by your talking." She took him to the far corner of the room and sat down with the cub in her lap.

it was at that moment Beastly decided he'd been standing guard long enough and wandered back into the factory. He jumped about a mile in the air when he saw Q-bot and Bright Heart with the others. "When did you get here?"

"Beastly you suck as a guard. What were you doing out there, practicing your lower case letters?"

He stuck his tongue out at Perfect while Brave Heart, Proud Heart, Champ, and Bright Heart started to carry on about Beastly being on their side now.

Fauna rolled her eyes, "Are we going to go through this every time we set one of you free. Yes, Beastly is a good guy now. Deal with it! Now let's move on to more important matters, like what our next move is gonna be."

Share cleared her throat, "We're in Alaska so we'll go get the pink and purple you guys saw up here. Where are you?"

"In London at Dr. Finklestein's factory. I think we'll go after Tender Hearts crystal in Africa. I think we should split the teams up again. Two of my Care Bears and 3 of yours could go after the other purple with Q-bot."

Share briefly conferred with her teammates, "Sounds good to us. Tell them to stay in the factory after you leave, we'll meet them there."

It was decided the new team would consist of Share, Birthday, Proud Heart, Tugs, and Bedtime. They would be going after the other purple crystal in Scotland. They would all check in with each other in 5 days. After rapping up some other business, they said their goodbyes and went to sleep.
