Author's note: No seriously, does ANYONE remember the old title? It's driving me nuts! To Cybertronian: Sorry I'm talking about the one like this that got deleted, that's the first fanfic I wrote in my archive U.

"Yes, that's right. Yes she says it happened in a dream.... She's fine, no worries.... Well she's quite shaken, I think it should.... All right.... Okay, we'll see you soon then. Good bye."
Rokusho sighed and hung up the payphone. He walked back over to the waiting area where Foxfire was sitting. She looked up at him with tired optics.
"S-sooAaww w-what'd he say?" Foxfire asked in a failed attempt to stifle a yawn. It had been four hours since her nightmare attack. She was too scared to let herself get back to sleep.
"Well he's not sure what to make of it, so he wants us to go down to the Corporation to run some tests on you. He's sending a car to come get us."
Foxfire nodded in acknowledgement and stood up. "Sounds like a-ah- awwww g-good idea." Rokusho inwardly smiled and helped her to walk outside without stumbling about.
They sat down on the curb in front of the hospital doors, Foxfire nearly tripped onto the road but Rokusho had a good hold on her and kept her on the safety of the sidewalk.
"I-I'm sorry you got wrapped into this." She said quietly. Rokusho rose an optic at her words. "I didn't mean for you to get all worried about me over this. It's between me and her, I'm just afraid that sh-she might hurt you." Her last sentence sounded strained, like she might start to cry.
"Foxfire, you know that I would never leave you in a time of trouble. I'm happy to help." He patted her back gently. Rokusho noticed she had mentally smiled.
"Thanks... Thank you so much."
A few minutes later a long pink limousine pulled up in front of the hospital sidewalk. Rokusho helped Foxfire to her feet when the limousine door stopped at the two.
And who else would have a pink limousine but Karin. The red head popped open the door closest to the Medabots with a warm and cheery smile.
"Hey, come on in. Uncle Aki is all ready for us." She chirped. Rokusho and Foxfire sweat dropped a little before stepping into the limousine.
Karin slowly leaned back over and closed the door. When the car began moving again, Karin furrowed her eyebrows at Foxfire.
"Foxfire, you don't look so good. Are you okay?" She was pointing out the fact that the FOX type's optics were a very pale pink, her tail was limp and her only real support from falling over sideways was the seatbelt.
"She's just tired." Rokusho explained shortly. Karin gave an 'ohh' of acknowledgement before sitting back in the leather interior seats. "S-so how long until we reach the Corporation?"
"Oh no more than a few minutes. It's quite close to the hospital."
----
"Geez Foxfire you really don't look very good." Dr. Aki commented; all she did was give him a dead pan look. "Guess you didn't get much sleep last night then? Too bad."
He turned around and led them down a few hallways, Karin practically skipping down Rokusho and Foxfire close behind.
"So where are we heading to?" Rokusho asked, glancing around curiously.
"We'll be going to a test run room. There's some equipment in there we can use to figure this out."
"What n-needs to be figured out? We kn-noOooww what's happening." Foxfire said with a yawn, practically dragging her feet and tail as she walked.
"You do Foxfire, you've grown up with this 'dark side' of yours. But Rokusho and I want to see what's behind it all. See what makes this virus tick."
"V-virus? It's not a vi—oh never mind." She was just too tired to go off on a full explanation about it.
"Don't worry, Dr. Aki is just curious about this." The KWG coaxed. Then added lightly. "I'm still trying to understand the concept of you having a dark form of yourself."
Foxfire sighed, that was right. Rokusho had had no idea about her two sides, she though it might be better that he wasn't aware of her having a mean side. But last night she had to go into detail about her dark side to help explain what had happened.
Dr. Aki strolled down one last corridor and stopped in front of a door with gold embossed letters on the wood, reading,'Medabots Application Room'
"Medabots Application?" Rokusho questioned. The Doctor just smiled and opened the door, letting Foxfire, Rokusho and Foxfire go in first.
It looked as if they had entered a booth, looking into a white room through a glass window, much resembling an interrogation room on the other side of the window.
The only real differences were that the booth was hooked up different mechanical devices. There was a desk just below the window, with looked more like a high tech computer keyboard than anything else.
There were also two small TV sets, turned off, sitting in the corner on the desk.
Foxfire took in a deep breath, not feeling very comfortable and becoming more and more nervous about this.
"How are we going about this then?" Rokusho asked, peering around the booth. Dr. Aki took a seat on the nearest rolling chair and started flipping a couple switches.
"We, are going to examine what's going on in Foxfire's head when she sleeps." He said casually, as if it were an everyday thing.
"W-we are?" Foxfire stammered, as if not sure she had heard right. "I have to go to sleep?"
Dr. Aki nodded. "Mmhmm, we'll give you a device that allows us to see what goes on in your head while you're unconscious."
Karin made a small gasp. "You can do that Uncle Aki?" He nodded proudly, certainly liking the praise.
"You bet."
Dr. Aki pulled out a drawer beneath the desk and pulled out a small, metal object with a clasp. Resembling to an MP3 player but thinner.
"What's that going to do?" Foxfire asked, squinting her optics to get a good look at it.
"This little piece of machinery is going to be clipped to your medal to access your frequencies... err... Foxfire sides, and then it'll take a look into your subconscious. That way we'll be able to see what happens there."
"That little thing does all THAT?" Karin asked incredulously. Rokusho stared at the device in wonder.
"Amazing how human technology has come." Dr. Aki gave a chuckle.
"Well let's not waste anytime! We should get going." He said, apparently excited at the idea of getting to do such a thing.
"Waiwaiwait. How do I wake up?" Foxfire interrupted, putting her hands up to stop everyone from moving.
"I beg your pardon?"
"I-I get the part about me going to sleep and then you seeing what goes on in the dream—but when and how can I wake up?"
Dr. Aki paused for a few seconds, then placed a hand to his chin, stroking it in thought. "Hmm, let me see. I THINK I remember having something that could help. What was it again...?"
He turned in his chair back to the desk and rummaged in the drawer beneath it. Muttering to himself for a few minutes, then letting out a loud cheer.
"Aha! Found it!" They looked over his should and saw that he was holding two, small, round discs. Like the back of a CD disk, they were colorless, but had a shiny luster. "Perfect."
Dr. Aki swiveled around in his chair and held the two, tiny discs up for them to see properly.
"These..." He paused with the action of placing a CD on either side of Foxfire's head. Both acted as magnets and stayed put on her head. "Are the solution to waking you up." He finished.
"What exactly ARE these?" Rokusho asked, resisting an urge to poke one.
"These, are microchip plates. Inside them are the tiniest of microchips you can find. When Foxfire is asleep and we've seen our fill of her dream, we can activate these chips and produce a static charge into her head. It'll wake her up like that!" Dr. Aki snapped his fingers.
Foxfire let out a deep breath. "Are you sure this will work?"
His proud grin faded as he gave a solemn nod. "I'm positive. Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
