Yo, this is me. This chapter is up now.

YES, THIS IS THE REAL CHAPTER!! I've finally finished chapter 18, and have posted it (or else you wouldn't be reading this, would you?).

But first, the Reviewer Responses:

Reda: Hi again! I know they're awesome! But Vee, she's right; overconfidence is almost always the downfall of anyone. That's why Alex always stays on the brink of under confidence! That way she continues to push harder than she probably really needs too. (Alex: I HEARD THAT! Who says I'm not confident enough!?!? Alex Ultra: Me! Alex: Whatever, hey, where's the cheese? Alex Ultra: Behind the Salami.) Okay. Anyway, I hope you don't fall too far into the trap of overconfidence! (Remember Frieza...)

What? That's it!? Where did DF go?

~~~~~~*** FIERYSKIES ***~~~~~~

"Alright, LET'S GO!!!" As the Gigantrons advanced the three of them flew off to attack.

"Watch yourselves!" As Kanoovf went after one of them, the twins went to work on the other two.

"Yeah!" Alex just dived down to avoid a swing from one of the giant monsters. Taking the time to get in closer, she got an awakening as she got a heavy blow from her blind side, which sent her reeling into the ground.

Alexander, alerted by this, was a bit more careful as he tried to get in closer. He dodged one arm, then the other, and found that he couldn't get much closer because he was dodging the entire time.

"Darn, this isn't working!" 'They're too fast!' Alex jumped out of the way just as her monster slammed the back of its hand straight into the ground.

With a smirk, Alex flew over to her twin's monster and started drawing its fire. Despite that her monster was coming, she had an idea that would be of benefit.

As the creature tried to swat her with the layer of needles that made up its palm, Alexander was dodging the other.

Then, he looked up at the palm of the hand he was dodging, and started a power up. "Fiery... ORB!!!" Just before the hand came down, he launched the attack to the side, sending him safely off to the side just as the monsters arm crashed into the red-hot ball of energy.

Alex flew up into the air and powered an attack of her own. "AaaaaAAAHHHH!!!" With a shout, she launched it at the ground just in front of the robot that was chasing her.

'She missed!' Kanoovf looked away from his own robot just long enough to see Alex's attack NOT hit the monster! But he changed his mind when he saw the ground beneath it crumble, leaving it buried beneath newly raised ground. 'Maybe not...' He left them to what they were going to do and finished off his own bot.

A loud explosion was all that signified the loss of one of the arms on their bot. Alexander's attack had served its purpose.

Several bright beams of energy emitted from the ground where the other bot had landed. One of them just barely singed Alex's back as she was caught unawares. The bot had dug itself out and was now firing on her from the ground!

Taking refuge on the other side of the bot Alexander was now fighting, she concentrated on calling up an old skill.

After only a moment, several balls of ki suddenly appeared in the air around her, giving the appearance from a distance that she was surrounded by an aura of incredible proportions.

As Alexander got beneath his gigantron and fired an attack at the pivot between its four legs, Alex slowly rose higher to the skies.

As Alexander's robot fell over from the lack of legs, Alex started spinning the balls of ki around her at high velocity. "Omni Bubbles!" The speed of the spinning globes continued to increase until she could no longer be seen within.

"FIERY SKIES FALLING ATTACK!!!" With that announcement she sent the whole spinning mess straight into the ground!

The spherical mass of energy slammed into and swallowed the giant creature on the ground. Slowly tearing away at its armor and ripping through its more sensitive parts. Until it came to the creature's power core.

The immense bright light was all that was seen or heard of the explosion that came from the monster's energy core, as the strange spinning attack absorbed the energy from the attack. The attack seemed to glow brighter as it continued to grind away at the remnants of the creature.

A small opening in the top appeared as Alex lowered herself back into its center. As she pulled it back into the sky it seemed to dissipate as she slowed it down. She allowed the energy to go back to where it belonged.

Alexander backed away just as an immense attack landed itself directly in the stomach of his bot and blew it to pieces, exposing the core. Which pulsed twice, then exploded, leaving a crater twice the size of the original Gigantron.

"Well, that was fun." Alexander healed a scratch on his left arm as Alex healed her burned back.

Kanoovf came over to the twins. "Not bad, I was afraid I might have to cut in!"

"Yeah, and that wasn't easy either!" Alex looked annoyed, and just a bit tired. "Is there anything else we should know about them? Do they have any nuclear missiles?"

"Oh come on! You know you could handle a NUCLEAR attack!"

Neither of the twins looked amused.

"Okay, there's nothing else. Not that those creatures have. And once we get by the rest of this range we'll be at the pole." He laughed nervously. "Well, now you know why they keep the planet separated!"

"Hehe, yeah, right." The twins decided to stick together from then on.

From there, the fights got more and more intense as the Gigantrons continued to change their strategies. Rather than simply swinging their arms around, they started spinning. Firing their back cannons and swinging their arms at high speeds. Somewhere along the line the twins started using Instantaneous movement to teleport beneath the monsters and take out their legs, which were only good for holding the monsters up anyway.

At another point Alexander found himself between the needled hands of one of the monsters and managed to grab on to one on each side and it off. With a lot of effort he managed to get enough leverage to throw the monster over his head and on its back. Then he used his energy blasts to blow through the vulnerable palms and rob it of its defenses. In a furied burst of energy he then began beating on the poor defenseless creature. Within a minute he had found his way to the core and forcefully pulled it from its place. Throwing it into the air he launched an attack that detonated it in mid-air.

Upon seeing this spectacle Kanoovf turned to Alex. "Your brother is getting..."

"YEAH!! HAHA!! TAKE THAT YOU ANNOYING PATHETIC EXCUSE FOR A WARRIOR!!! HAHAHA!!!"

"Um, you two are getting a bit too vicious for comfort..."

"What? Oh, sorry. It's just that these things are getting to be annoying!" Alexander was breathing hard as he floated over to the other two.

"And I think the blood got to my head!" The red in his face was testament to that.

"Well, you can take a breather now, 'cause we're done."

"Huh?"

Kanoovf pointed down to a small house in a large clearing in a valley cut off from the Gigantrons by a large circular cliff. "We can go in there to rest up. Get something to eat. Then we can leave."

"Aw, I was just starting to have fun!" Alex had pulled the arm off of the bot Alexander had just disabled and was now swinging it around.

Kanoovf smiled. "Now you see why he made another world."

The twins simultaneously smiled identical grins. "Eh, yeah!"

They then decided that it would be okay to go rest, powered out of Super 2 (they had decided to do go to Super 2 half-way through to get the most from their training) and went to the little house.

As they ate, Alex spoke up. "You know, today was kinda fun."

"Okay, and?"

"Well, I still can't get over the feeling that I'm not really used to this."

"What do you mean?"

Alexander spoke up. "Well, it seems like I would start using one body more than the other one."

"Like we weren't really working together, more like I was going back to having only one and watching with the other."

"So what do you propose to do about it?"

"Well, I was thinking I would split up. You know, go to two different places?" Alexander said this just as he managed to choke down a roasted chicken. (The whole chicken)

"But first. How do we get out of here anyway?"

"Well, there's a doorway in here that leads back to Merlin's place. How do you think he keeps it stocked?"

The twins looked puzzled for a moment, the smiled. "Eh, I guess you're right! That does make sense!"

As they finished off the rest of what they had prepared for themselves, Merlin walked in on them. "Well, there you are! I see that you managed to stay alive."

"Yeah, and then some!"

Merlin managed a little chuckle. "Ah yes. So you had a good time?" Alex nodded as Alexander downed another drumstick (having decided it was better to eat it in pieces). "Of course. Well, the reason I came here is because of what you said to Kanoovf a bit ago." This caught everyone's attention.

"Huh?"

"I agree. So I was thinking about it, and a good way to accomplish it would be through the gate."

"Ookay..."

"Come see me when you're finished."

"Done!" "Done!"

Merlin stopped in his tracks. "Um, then follow me..." 'Okay. Perhaps not quite as much as the Saiyans...'

~~ In Merlin's Chambers ~~

"You see this Black Hole?"

"Yeah, it looks like my Warp Gates. And that's what it is, right?"

"Yes. It leads to the Zero Dimension. A practically limitless world of energy."

"Um, like the Hyperbolic Time Chamber?"

"Yes, I do believe that's what the Earth Guardians call it. However, their entrances happen to be on the opposite side of the primary body." He called up an image that looked a bit like an elongated egg. It was basically a white oval. "This is where everything happens. It has an immense gravity that increases the closer you get to the equator. Not only that, but it has an Elemental randomness that increases in severity the closer you get to maximum gravity."

"Okay, but what does this have to do with us separating?"

"Well, the gateway changes frequency every thirty seconds. So if you each go in but at different times, you will get the same training, but in different dimensions. And the outer world it is connected to will also be different."

"Sounds good! So when do we go? And how do we get back?"

"You go whenever you feel like it. It really doesn't matter. And you get back the same way you came. As soon as the thirty seconds passes, the gateway disappears. So don't be expecting to come back that way."

The twins nodded, as did Kanoovf, who then stood up. "Well, if you two are leaving, then I'm going to go home." Seeing the confused stares, he responded. "What? Do you think that the only thing we do here is train? We do need to sleep every now and then!"

"Yeah. Good point."

~~

"Well, this is it."

"Yeah. See me later!" They looked at each other, then broke out in laughter.

"I don't think I'll ever get over that! But you know, one of us has to go first."

"But which one?"

They thought about it for a time, then they both sprang up and shouted. "IDEA!!" "IDEA!!"

They each shot out an orb of energy. One blue, one red. They connected the two and spun them around on a string of energy until it snapped, sending one toward the gate and the other away.

Alex was going in first.

They waved each other off, then went their separate ways. For the first time ever.

~~~~~~*** End of Chapter 18 ***~~~~~~

Well, how was it? I wanna know!

Okay, here's the thing, just to keep to confusing anybody. From chapter to chapter they will switch. But not the chapter you read on the little selector thing. In fact, this is technically chapter 5-5. The fifth part of the fifth chapter! Also, chapter 5 has like 8 or so parts, so six doesn't start just yet. Sorry if it's confusing! ;P So when chapter 6-1 starts, it will be Alex whom the story will follow. Then Chapter 7 will follow Alexander.

Don't worry, I'll tell you when the switch is made. ;P

Alex: The next chapter is GREAT!!

Alex Ultra: Uh, huh?

Alex: I think it's so cool! [Hugs the plushy of secret character] Hey! Why'd you say 'secret character'?

Alex Ultra: 'Cause it's a SECRET!!

Alex: Oh... Okay! Whatever!

Uh, yeah.
