"S-so, let's get this straight," Erika said as she paced along the hardwood floors, " YOU'VE lost your memory." She pointed to Rokusho, who was sitting one of the beds with everyone else. "YOU'RE actually Rokusho, just in Metabee's body." She pointed to Metabee, who nodded in acknowledgement. "And nothing weird happened while these two were being healed?"
Karin and Ikki were in the room as well. Karin nodded with a sad look on her face, apparently distressed about this whole situation.
"I'm absolutely positive nothing went wrong. I hired the best Medabot healers and mecha-docters in Japan!"
Rokusho and Metabee looked over to each other and sighed. This was the most confusing situation they could ever think of.
"But that still brings so many questions!" Erika threw her arms to the air in frustration. "Like, where's Metabee's personality? And how could this happen? And why isn't Rokusho in his own body? And who are YOU?!" Erika shouted at Rokusho's body who's optics rounded to saucers as she did so.
"Erika, TRY to calm down." Ikki let out a breath and walked up in front of the others to take a seat beside Erika in a desk chair.
"If it didn't happen during the regeneration process, then it must've happened during the fight." Brass spoke up. The girls nodded in agreement, but at the mentioning of the fight, Metabee's expression saddened.
"To figure this out, we're going to need that device the Rubber-Robos shot at Rokusho." Foxfire added. She looked over to Karin. "Do you still have it?"
Karin blinked a few times and put a finger to her chin in thought. "I don't remember there being a device..."
Erika groaned and flopped back on the conveniently placed chair behind her. "It must still be at the forest."
Rokusho was listening closely to what everyone had to say, trying to keep up and understand what they meant. But it was very confusing. Like trying to watch a soap opera but not knowing what's happened in the past episodes (A.N: Trust me, I've tried!)
"I guess that means we'll have to go back to the forest." Ikki said. "And that place is like a maze, it'll be hard to find the exact spot where it happened."
Foxfire's ears drooped slightly. "True, but if we don't, this problem will be permanent."
"I know the forest well." Rokusho.er. Metabee piped up. "And I know I'll be able to find the spot."
That certainly cheered everyone up. Expressions brightened and smiles arose. It wasn't much but it was all they had.
"Then it's settled, we're going back to the forest to get the device! Just one thing...." Ikki glanced over to Foxfire. "What'll we do once we have it?"
Foxfire sighed. "I don't really know. But right now it's our only hope to figuring out what happened exactly to these two." Foxfire turned to Karin. "Are those doctors still here?"
Karin nodded, her pigtails bouncing slightly. Ikki stood up from his chair, trying to look slightly heroic. "Someone should stay behind! I will, with Karin of course."
Erika glared at Ikki with a deadpan look. "I guess I'll stay behind too then. It looks like it's just Medabots then."
Brass, Rokusho, Foxfire and Metabee looked at one another. This would be reeeaaal fun.
Karin stood up to speak. "As long as you're going, we might as well drive you there." She chirped.
----------------------
"Wooow, I've never been in a limousine before." Foxfire said, her optics looking over everything. Metabee nodded in agreement, although was a bit more composed.
"I too have never been in a limousine."
Rokusho looked over. "So that means I've never been in one either right?" Metabee turned to him and nodded, feeling a little awkward talking to HIS body.
"This is actually my fourth time." Brass said. "One to the airport, and twice to Miss Erika's birthdays. Her parents always fancied riding in limousines."
"That's so cool! You're lucky, Brass!" Foxfire's optics closed while she mentally smiled. She then noticed that Brass was sitting all by her lonesome on the other side.
Foxfire stood up from her seat to cross over, unfortunately, the car took a swerve to the right and she was knocked over on the other side. Her back was about to hit the car door but luckily she was caught by Rokusho, whom was sitting closest to the door. He grabbed her waist and pulled her down into his lap.
"No more of those stunts, okay?" Foxfire nodded quickly as she sat herself down in his lap. Not the seat she had been aiming for, but with his arms around her waist, it was just as good.
"So, how should we go about this?" Brass asked. "I mean for the search. Should we split into groups, just plain split up altogether or go into one big group?"
Rokusho poked his head out beside Foxfire's shoulder. " I suggest splitting into two groups." Foxfire and Metabee nodded in agreement. Brass gave a nod as well.
"That small device is going to be difficult to find. I only hope it won't take long." Metabee commented
"Don't we all. So I'll go with Brass, and you two can go together." Foxfire said.
The limousine came to a halt and the Medabots looked out of their mirrors to see they had stopped in front of the forest.
Rokusho and Foxfire slipped out one side while Brass and Metabee came out the other. They came together in one group and walked to edge of the forest.
"So this is the place then?" Rokusho asked, giving side looks to them. Brass, Metabee and Foxfire nodded. Metabee looked somewhat awkward, being reminded about the things he had done in there.
"Well, no use standing out here, is there?" Foxfire asked, walking forward. "Let's get on in there."
Metabee and Rokusho nodded and headed into the forest, following the path, the femmes followed. Actually it was Metabee who was leading, seeing as he knew the forest best, he would find the parts around the area they had been in, then they'd split up.
It was a good 15 minutes before they stopped. A good SILENT 15 minutes. And they all learned something; Rokusho (or at least the memoryless one) hated awkward silences. They could still to this day all recall when he tried to get them all to sing something. Brass took in a deep breath. "Right. So if you guys find anything, Get Metabee to shoot a rocket cannon to the air."
And finally they split up into their groups. Rokusho and Metabee taking a left, Foxfire and Brass taking a right.
Rokusho and Metabee walked in the all-too familiar awkward silence. Rokusho tried to think of something to talk about. Did he have anything on his mind?... Of course he did! He'd lost his memory for crying out loud!
"H-hey, Rokusho?" He asked. Metabee looked over his shoulder and then back to the path in front of him. "How did all of this happen?"
"I have no idea. Nobody -"
"No, no not the switch and other stuff. I mean like how did we end up getting damaged so bad they needed top Medabot regeneration scientists to work on us?"
Metabee's optics dimmed, as if he'd wished for anything but that question. But it wasn't like he hadn't expected it. He gave out a sigh.
"There is a gang of thieves and criminals called 'The Rubber Robo Gang'. They are bent on nothing more than causing chaos and mischief." He continued," This gang shot a small trinket that took over my medal and made me think of nothing but evil and torture."
Rokusho's optics were wide, DEFINITELY not expecting that kind of answer. "By Aki..."
"And that's not the half of it even." Metabee paused for a few moments, hesitating almost. "I turned on the ones I cared about most, and sought out to destroy them. It was as if my personality completely changed. I had complete control over my body and I chose to hurt my friends. And... and I enjoyed it."
Metabee's fists clenched hard and pounded into a nearby tree, causing the bark to break and leaving an indent in the wood. Rokusho stood there, not sure what to do or say.
"I had completely forgotten who they were or who I was. I suppose the trinket must've downloaded my memories whi-" Metabee looked up, his optics now in turn wide. But in realization instead. "That's it... that's IT! That's what happened! It must be!!"
"Wh-what are you talking about? What's it?" Rokusho quirked an optic.
"That must be how it happened! Th-the trinket, it downloaded my memories, leaving my body-you-without knowledge of your past! And-and then when Metabee took off the device, the trinket must've uploaded my personality and memories into his body, almost in a way pushing aside Metabee's! In a lunatic way it makes sense!"
Metabee grabbed Rokusho's wrist and started running. "Come! We must start searching!"
