Bungeling Bay Forest... (2:45 am)

Nighttime was slow for Mighty, who stayed up because of his constant nightmares. As the red-ish pink moon flew by, the wayward Bomberman Bro kept tossing and turning his head so that he could fall asleep without any worries. Meanwhile, Zhael was sleeping as though nothing happened... Just waiting to get caught and scrapped.

As Mighty rolled over and over, trying to sleep... But every time he closed his eyes or shuts himself down, he was met with a disturbing image of the Bomberman Bros, all weary, rusted and damaged, lying on the dirt or killing each other: Black with his head battered, Pretty brainwashed into being Kareoke Bomber once more, dismembering Pink into pieces of gray scrap, an eviscerated Red, a beheaded Blue, Green and his perforated head, a depressed Yellow, preparing to destroy himself and Aqua... The poor android was around his height, facial screen cracked and wearing scantily-clad clothing, wailing at a corner as she awaited a horrible beating. He then tried to sleep for a final time.

In Mighty's dream...

"B- Black?! What happend to y- Pretty?! How could you do this to Pi- Red?! BLUE! Don't die o- Yellow! Don't kill yourse- *bang!* NO!!! G- Green... Not you too..." After seeing those scenes, Mighty was placed into a room, armed with an iron rod. He came across a young lady around his height... But younger.

"*sob* Just leave me alone! *sob* I don't belong here!" The youth shouted out, revealing a slightly older and heavily modified Aqua without a facial screen. The girl was given a human shell to die for despite being too young to be a prostitute... Nor would she want to be one.

"Aqua... What happened to you?!"

"NO!!! Stay away from me!!!" The now revealed Aqua screamed as she backed into the corner... Shrinking each step she took before she hugged the wall like her mite-sized life depends on it.

"Aqua, calm down, it's me, White, your big br-"

"GET AWAY FROM ME, ESREVER!!!" Looking at a puddle formed from Aqua's tears, Mighty did not see himself... Instead, the reflection shows an insane Esrever ready to strike his sister.

"YOU WILL DO AS I SAY! DO YOUR JOB, SLAVE!" An echo shouted out as the rod came down.

"NO!!!"

Reality...

"*gasp* ... Guys..." Tears welled up in his eyes until he grabbed a fairly large stone. Feeling anger radiating from within, he tried to crush the stone... grinding it into fine gray powder. Dropping the remains of the sandy stone, Mighty rummaged for a piece of paper and a pencil. 'Zhael... Sorry to say this, but I've gone out to save the Bomberman Bros.! Don't worry! I'm gonna come back for you.'

Placing down the note next to the bonfire, Mighty grabbed his recently dried vest, cape, bandolier and gear, walking to Ujaneki city with a growing fire in his eyes... But he suddenly blacked out.

In another universe...

"Ugh... What happened?" Mighty groaned out as he woke up, revealing 4 Bombermen that almost looks the same as he does.

"*sigh* Another one of us is awake... F#!%!" One of the shorter counterparts groaned out as he gripped onto his face.

"Shut up, Atomic." One of the other Bombermen, one with a red scarf, a pin with a broken wing and a red antenna, groaned as he then helped him up. "Sorry, but someone tried to use us. Same thing with you."

Mighty stared at the strange Bombermen and scanned them. "*finishes scanning all 4...* ... What are you guys? You guys don't even look like MB units!"

The Bomberman that helped him up shook his head as he then squeezed his antenna.

"*squeak-squeak!* Different dimension, most likely. I'm Shiro, the Bomber-nebula's infamous vigilante known as Bomberman."

"... My name is White... Just call me Mighty." Shiro then rubbed the back of his head and groaned.

"We'll just call you Might."

Tayado Brothel, Ujaneki City... (1 day later)

Aqua woke up on a stone cold floor. Rubbing her head, she noticed a pair of iron bars leading to another room.

"A Stone wall? Let's see if I can blast it. *kzzt* Huh?! I can't place my bombs! I also sound different!" Looking into her programming, she was right.

"*gasp* What happened to me?!" The iron bars were then blown open, paralyzing the android in shock.

"You were modified to do our bidding, robot!" A gruff man in a suit growled out as he left the cloud of dust. He had scars that signified that there was a beard, but all that was left was burnt flesh. "I am Esrever... And I am your new owner."

"Wh- What?! I never sold myself to anyone! Also, calling me a robot is technically demeaning... There are tons of androids that fit that description!"

"Oh please! When you assaulted one of my men, Iago, for denying his special request, you become the property of my syndicate!" The man groaned out as he then thought up on what to make her do. "... Now, as your owner-"

"You don't own me! Iago tried to rape me! I did that out of self-defense all those months ago!"

"... Lock away your memories! All of your previous memories! Load them into this memory file." The arms dealer demanded as he then pulled out a USB and stuck it onto the confused Bomber's neck.

"I DID NOT EVEN MEAN TO KI- What?" Aqua whined out as she then felt light-headed. Eyes dilating as she twitched and fell to the floor, sparks flying everywhere. "Hng... *kzzt!* Ahh! WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME?!"

Grinning as he then cupped her head with his left hand, Esrever had one thing to whisper.

"Heh... You are... Deleting yourself... That's right! Breathe... Hehehe... Goodbye, Aqua Bomber! It's nice knowing you, but- *cough* Welcome to your new home, Acrobat!" Hearing Aqua writhe in pain, Esrever released her as she blacked out.

Smoke rose from the fallen MB unit... When Esrever poked her ball-like left hand, Aqua woke up... But she didn't feel right at all.

"*groans* Where am I? *gasps* What am I? Who are you?!" Aqua shouted out as Esrever then stood above her fallen form. Aqua forgotten who she was... Now she's Acrobat, Esrever's naive ancilla (Slave-girl).

"You don't need to know where we are... You are Acrobat, and I am Esrever. I am your master and you? You are my slave. Got it? I own you. Now, give me the memory file." Feeling her head, Acrobat then pulled a glowing USB. All of what made Aqua... Aqua. Not Acrobat.

"Oh... Oh! Of course, sir! What do you want me to do now?" When Esrever pocketed the USB, he stared at the nervous android with some more orders.

"... Head to the modifications floor for more details." Acrobat nodded and downloaded the directions to the floor. Memorizing the layout, she sprinted to the Modifications floor. Esrever stood there, emotionless as he felt a rumble in his pocket. Aqua is trying to get out... But Acrobat will never leave. "*sigh* Heh! Time to give the brothels an extra helping hand..."

Walking off, Esrever felt a tingle of excitement after he looked out of the window to the outside world, not seeing a white and violet figure sitting on the edge of a distant cliff with sparks coming out of its antenna... The Lassay Memorial cliff is a scenic area in the Bungeling Bay Forest.

"*kzzzzzzzt! hiss!* So that's White's sister! *sigh* Where is White anyway?!" Zhael pondered as she then sat on a log. Mighty has been gone for two days already. Now that she knows where Esrever's brothel is, she has to know where he is.
