Ceestar: Well, here we go. Sorry, those of you who have read my stories before, know that I take FOREVER to update my stories. OK, so here you go.

Chapter 3:

: MY POV : -

"Ailec, your breakfast is ready."

The light of the room hurt my eyes, as I squinted and looked at Dr Aki's figure in the doorway.

"Mmm…." I murmured. "Alright, thanks Dr. Aki."

I heard him close the door, and I sat up in the bed. It was quite warm, and the sunlight was flowing through the window, someone must've opened the curtains. In a way, it felt really nice, and for a moment, I felt like I didn't have a care in the world. But reality is always ruining the mood isn't it? I knew something was wrong, something was always wrong.

"That's right! There's trouble in the fantasy worlds, and I'm staying at Dr. Aki's because…because…" Scenes of my destroyed home flashed through my head. I sighed and buried my face into my hands. "Why is this always happening to me? It's so annoying. It's totally awesome I'm friends with my favourite cartoon characters, but sometimes I just wish I could live a normal life, where there were no problems, where I didn't have so much to worry about. Argh, why me? Why was I the one that gets this so called gift." I laughed at myself. "I'll bet any other kid in the world would swap with me. If they only knew."

I got out of the bed and then got changed into the clothes I had been wearing yesterday. I folded Karin's pajamas and placed them on the bed. I threw my backpack onto…well my back, and headed downstairs for breakfast. ArcBeetle (who had had his body fixed) and Dr. Aki were sitting at the table already.

"So what are you plans for today?" Dr. Aki asked.

"Well, I'm going to go wash up after breakfast. Then I plan on going to Ikki and Metabee, see if they can help. They have experience with the whole "saving the world" thing." I answered, rolling my spoon around the bowl of cereal.

"Yes they do," Dr. Aki laughed. "But I'm not sure how much help they could give."

"Tell me about it," I said with half a mouthful of cereal and milk. "Their heads will probably explode when I go ask them for help to save the world."

I finished breakfast and thanked Dr. Aki for his hospitality. Half an hour later, ArcBeetle and I had arrived at Ikki's home.

"Well hello Ailec, it's so nice to see you here." Mrs. Tenryou said, cheery as always.

"Good morning Mrs. Tenryou. Is Ikki here?"

"Oh yes. He and Metabee are playing their video games again."

"Thank you."

I entered the lounge room, closely followed by ArcBeetle. We entered to see Ikki and Metabee yelling at each other, the TV screen reading "GAME OVER". This was no surprise, if those two weren't arguing, then THAT would have been a surprise.

"Hi guys." I said, in a half dead kind of voice.

"Oh," Ikki said, looking up. Metabee had him in a headlock. "Good morning Ailec, why didn't you come with Rokusho?"

"Yeah, he arrived like a whole hour ago." Metabee added, letting go of Ikki.

"I guess you guys didn't hear. My house-" I replayed what Metabee had just said in my mind. "What did you just say?!"

"I said that Rokusho got here like an hour ago." Metabee said, sitting on the couch, confused.

"What?! Rokusho?! But…uh…huh?" I said.

"Ailec, good morning." Came a deep voice I knew all too well.

My eyes bigger than eggs, I slowly walked over to the couch, in where the voice had come. As I walked a little closer, I saw …. Rokusho lying on the couch!!

"ROKUSHO!" I yelled, startling Ikki at he choked on his juice. "But how?! What? Last night, I…the house…tripped….you…..smashed….no medal….huh?!"

"Calm down Ailec." ArcBeetle said with a sweat drop.

Rokusho sat up and gestured for me to sit down. My eyes were still very wide, and my face felt pale. Everyone in the room looked nervous for some reason, as if I held a bomb that would go off at any second.

"Rokusho," I said, well…whispered. "How? When? Where? How? How?"

From normal, Rokusho's eyes turned very happy (like this ), but they looked forced, as if he was pretending to look happy. "So, have fun?"

" Ok ok!! This is getting weirder and weirder!! I KNOW that my house was in rubble and I saw Rokusho's smashed up body, and his medal was gone. What in the world is Rokusho doing sitting here next to me?! Not that I'm complaining, I'm glad he's ok…I think! Argh! What in the world is this? What do I mean?! Maybe the stress of this tears in the stream thingy is making my mind go nutty…oooo I'm getting dizzy " I thought rapidly.

"Ikki," I said, dazed. "Is Rokusho sitting next to me? Am I dreaming? WHAT IN THE NAME OF…… WHATEVER…….IS GOING ON HERE?!?!"

"He is Ailec." Ikki said, he too was forcing a very fake smile. "You're not dreaming, it's all real."

"Huh?" It seemed like that was the only thing I had been saying for the last minute…or hour…I couldn't really tell. "What?" I turned and looked at Rokusho, who was still 'smiling'. "Rokusho?"

"Have fun?" He repeated.

"What do you mean, 'have fun'?"

"I mean did you have fun at Dr. Aki's?"

"Huh?! How did you know?"

"It's a long story Ailec, a very long story indeed."

"I have time."

"Ok." Rokusho took a deep breathe, as Ikki and Metabee walked over. Ikki sat on the floor, and Metabee climbed on top of the couch, lying above Rokusho and myself. ArcBeetle was just standing there next to the couch.

"The Rubber robos." Rokusho began. "They came, after mine, and Arcbeetle's medals. It was pretty out of nowhere, they just came in and began destroying everything around us. I immediately fought back but then…" Rokusho stopped and looked at ArcBeetle, who merely looked down at the ground. He then turned to face Ikki, and then Metabee. They both looked away. Rokusho looked like he was hesitating, as if he didn't want to tell me what had happened. "I cannot do this!" He suddenly said.

"Rokusho, what happened?" I asked him slowly. The forced happy eyes were gone, instead, Rokusho's optics looked the exact opposite now. He looked sad, and some what aggravated. Whatever he was feeling, it was honest, so I knew something was about to make my life even worse than it was now.

"Ailec…I…" He stammered.

Now I KNEW something wasn't right. Rokusho would never keep a secret from me, he just wouldn't tell me things, but like this? Something had to be bugging the KWG type Medabot.

"Metabee, I cannot do this." He repeated.

"You think I can?" Metabee said. "It's hard!"

"What's hard?!" I demanded. "What is it that none of you are telling me? What secret are you all hiding?"

"There were no rubber robos, and all that I told you and Dr. Aki was a lie." ArcBeetle said, not taking his optics off the floor.

"What?" Was all I could get out of my mouth. The other three looked at ArcBeetle.

"Some strangers came to the house and demanded to know where you were. We asked them why they wanted to know, but all they said was that they wanted to see a cyborg girl."

My heart skipped a beat, a cyborg girl?!

"None of us knew what they were talking about, except Rokusho. The strange men just kept on demanding to know where you were, and we told them that we did not know. But they did not accept this."

"They opened fire." Rokusho said. "They attacked the house, but ArcBeetle and I got straight into Attack Mode. The weaponry these men used was phenomenal, it was much greater than our own. It was very soon that they had both ArcBeetle and I surrounded. There was nothing we could do."

I looked around the room, Metabee and Ikki said nothing. ArcBeetle and Rokusho both stared at the ground. "Why didn't you tell me before ArcBeetle?"

"Because they threatened us. The captured Hikaru and the Professor, and said they will hurt them if we said a word to you Ailec." ArcBeetle said silently.

"They said to pretend it was all some joke, and then take you to a world that Professor Hushi had just discovered and that we will all be re united there. But we heard them murmur that is where they will catch you." Rokusho looked glum, and if possible for a Medabot, let alone Rokusho, he seemed…pale? "They said you would know the world. I believe it is the world you and that young man went to late yesterday afternoon."

I sat there quiet, we all did. No body said a word, or really even made a movement. I heard Mrs. Tenryou come in with some snacks, but I heard her say something and walk back out.

"Why didn't they just come straight to the cyborg world then?" I muttered finally.

"Black Ghost just likes to cause mayhem anywhere they can. They most likely just got sick and tired of attacking one world, when they heard they had the chance to attack another. One which knows not of his existence, one where it has no defenses to his weapons."

I snapped around to see 004. Next to him were none other than Henry, Professor Hushi and Baton.

"Hikaru!"

"Professor Hushi!"

Rokusho and ArcBeetle practically 'flew' over to their medafighters. Ikki and Metabee must've been informed who Henry really was, they looked not at all surprised. Ikki could probably read minds, because I looked at him and he nodded, saying "we know."

"I found some of Black Ghost hooligans harassing these two while I was on patrol. They told me they weren't from our world, and after some explaining, I was able to get them back here."

"Thanks Albert."

He smirked and gave me a thumbs up.

Everyone took a seat and we talked for a while about the tears. Ikki and Metabee also had a long conversation with Henry, who wasn't too happy about it, but he had them swear to keep his secret.

"Where to now?" Albert asked, he had his arm around my shoulders, I was still a little startled from all that happened in the last 30 minutes.

"I go to world after world and make sure everything is alright. Then I gather a representative from each world, and we figure out what caused all this." I said.

I felt a few stares, I was looking at the floor, or more my feet, kind of admiring the laces on my shoes.

"Can I come?!" Metabee yelled. I heard Ikki anime fall, and I noticed the rest of the sweat drops around the room.

"Metabee!" Ikki said, getting back onto his seat. We waited for the rest of his sentence….

…..

"Do you think you could go without me?!"

This time, both Henry and 004 fell off their seats.

"They always like this?" 004 asked, a reached out to get him back up.

"It's like 002 has taken over their minds."

"No, 002 wouldn't ask, he would just go."

"Yeah, guess you're right."

"Well we DID save the world twice! We deserve to come!"

"Cookies anyone?"

Everyone anime fell and looked over at Mrs. Tenryou, who was beaming and holding a tray of freshly baked cookies.

"Alright! Cookies!" Metabee and Ikki yelled at once.

-- 10 Minutes Later --

"Are you about done?!" I said, a couple more veins popping on my head. Ikki and Metabee….well…Ikki really, seeing I'm not sure Metabee can eat, he just likes the smell of cookies. Ikki had been stuffing his face, and spitting crumbs in every direction he turned.

"ar yer. Irm rust haaving shome off mry mrum's rookies! Rou hood shtry shome." (Oh yeah. I'm just having some of my mum's cookies! You should try some.)

I wiped my face with the fifith tissue I had to use and looked at Ikki. "So that's that. I'm going alone."

"What?!" Came a few voices.

I pouted, "Everyone is always getting all worked up for nothing. I'll have teammates in the other worlds. Besides, I may take a FEW of you along."

"I am defiantly coming." Rokusho said in a very determined voice.

"Me too." 004 stood up, smirking.

"Fine, everyone else stay here, I'll keep in contact, ok?"

"But-" Ikki sprayed more cookie crumbs in my face and flicked each one off.

"Ikki Tenryou, if you know what's goof for you, you stay here and protect THIS world, ok?"

"Ok…" he whimpered. Metabee laughed at Ikki's face and I just smiled. Everyone soon burst out in laughter.

Albert, Rokusho and I stood at the front door, and a portal had appeared in front of us.

"I'll keep in touch, and come back every so often ok?"

"Be careful Ailec."

"I will grandpa."

"Rokusho gets all the fun," Metabee mumbled.

Rokusho just pretended he hadn't heard anything.

"Come on Metabee, we get to protect our world, we can save the world again! Then surely Karin will be impressed!!" Ikki's eyes went to some cute anime x's and he started laughing his head off.

Metabee shook his head.

"Which world are you going to first?" Henry asked.

Rokusho and Albert looked at me, they too wanted to know.

"Real world, that's where it could get most dangerous, nothing should be happening, but it is my top priority."

"Uh…" Rokusho said. "I'm not to sure about this."

"No worries Rokusho, we'll get through this. Well, see you guys round!" I jumped into the portal, as I heard a few good byes echo off.

: REAL WORLD : -

We landed in the junior playground of my school.

I saw people running screaming, and fire every where.

"No." Rokusho whispered.

I heard Albert curse under his breathe.

"Just kill me."
