A/N: Ten! Ten! Ten! Hello there! This is tendaysromeo and welcome to the 22nd chapter of DreamTheater Intermix: The World Within! Nothing much to say, so let's start this chapter!

10... 9... 8... 7... 6... 5... 4... 3... 2... 1... Countdown is over, so let's get this chapter on the go!

Disclaimer: I don't own anything in this story aside from some OCs, the plot and the settings.

"Wow..." a voice uttered, "... I actually had a good night sleep." it admitted in surprise, "And here I thought I'd be up all night because of the circumstances that occurs during that time." it stated.

After getting up from bed, taking a bath and putting on some fresh clothings, Ushio Makunouchi left her room and made her way across the halls of the seventh floor in the Corona House.

"Now then..." Ushio uttered out loud, "... better head towards the cafeteria for some breakfast." she beckoned to herself.

"Ushio-san!" a voice called out.

Ushio then turns around to see Coco Kiryu walking towards her, "Oh, hey, Coco." the punk-themed girl greeted.

"Morning." Coco greeted back with a big smile, "Are you heading towards the cafeteria for breakfast as well?" she assumed, "Shall we go together?" she requested.

Ushio shrugged her shoulders, "Sure, I don't mind." she accepted as the two started to walk together.

"So, what do you plan on doing after breakfast?" Coco inquired.

"I'm going to meet up with some friends from my old school to catch up with things." Ushio replied, "What about you?" she asked.

"I'll be out to buy some equipment." Coco answered with a smile.

"Equipment?" Ushio uttered, "Such as?" she inquired.

Coco thought about it, "A webcam, a microphone, a lighting setup and a good PC." she listed off.

Ushio raised an eyebrow, "Are you perhaps planning on becoming a livestreamer or some sort?" she assumed.

Coco chuckled, "Actually, I am a livestreamer." she revealed, "But certain circumstances forced me stop." she stated with a sad smile.

Once again, Ushio noticed the sadness behind Coco's smile and despite her curiosity, she opted not to ask as she understood that it could be personal, "I see..." the punk girl uttered, "... then I wish you luck on that." she encouraged.

"Thanks." Coco replied in gratitude.

"So, did you slept well last night?" Ushio asked, "I did." she shared, "I slept like a rock." she described.

"I was jolted awake once." Coco replied, "But I immediately fell back asleep afterwards." she stated.

"Despite knowing the fact that there are hostile creatures roaming around outside at that time, I wasn't disturbed at all." Ushio thought out loud, "Whatever they used to protect this place sure made wonders." she complimented.

"Yeah." Coco uttered in agreement, "Though I had a feeling that Ritsu-san had trouble sleeping last night." she assumed.

"Out of all of us, Ritsu is by far the most bothered by this revelation, so I find that likely." Ushio replied in agreement.

"By the way, Ushio-san, have you ever tried becoming a livestreamer?" Coco asked.

Ushio turns to her companion in utter surprise, "Me as a liverstreamer?" she questioned.

Coco nodded, "Your boyish appearance has it's appeal and you have a very nice speaking voice, so I think you'll do well as a livestreamer." she pointed out with a smile.

Ushio blushed in response, "I-I don't know..." she stammered, "... it's not really my thing." she said.

"I, for one, think you are suited for a livestreaming career." Coco admitted, "But in the end..." she uttered, "... it's all up to you if you wanna try it or not." she stated.

Ushio thought about it, "Well, I do admit that it's sounds interesting..." she admitted, "Might as well give it a shot." she concurred, "But for now, I'm just going to focus on getting myself settled in this place." she stated.

"That sounds about right." Coco acknowledged.

Ushio and Coco continues on with their walk when they came across Kirie Kojima, Miharu Sena Kanaka and Souseke Sagara looking out the window. Curiosity got the best of the two, so they decided to approach them.

"Excuse me?" Ushio called out which got the trio's attention, "Is something the matter?" she asked.

"Oh!" Miharu uttered in surprise, "Haven't seen you girls before." she said, "Are you new here?" she assumed.

Coco nodded, "Pretty much." she confirmed.

After introducing themselves to each other, Ushio once again asked them what's the problem and Kirie explained what happened to Tenma Daytona Romeoford earlier.

Coco and Ushio then looks out the window and to their surprise, they saw Tenma lying down on the pavement in a stock 'Family Guy' death pose while being poked with sticks by Hanayo Koizumi and Rin Hoshizora while Maki Nishikino, alongside a man known as the Medic, ran towards them.

"Wow..." Ushio uttered in disbelief, "... yesterday that guy got a double knuckle sandwich from the crazy cousins and now he found himself getting electrocuted and flung out through a window." she listed off, "He sure can't catch a break." she commented.

"He's like a pain magnet." Coco described in glee.

"Kirie-san, Miharu-san!" a voice called out.

Everyone then turns around to see Koyomi Hare Nanaka running towards them but she stopped when she noticed Souseke and she immediately turned pale in horror.

"Eeek!" Koyomi shrieked in fright, "It's a boy!" she exclaimed before turning around and then running off but she stopped when a door of a room opened and out came a young man named Duncan Nelson, "Eeeek!" she shrieked louder.

Duncan frowned, "What's your deal?" he demanded in annoyance.

Koyomi turns around and tried to run away but is once again stopped when another door of a room opened and out came another young man named Laurent, "Eeep!" she meeped in fright.

"Pardon me." Laurent apologized.

Koyomi looks from back to forth and realized that she is stuck between two males, her eyes then rolled at the back of her head before falling down to the floor unconscious.

"Miss! Miss!" Laurent called out panic while holding up the unconscious Koyomi whom had swirls in her eyes, "Are you alright?!" he asked.

"Leave her be, Laurent." Duncan beckoned, "Jesus Christ!" he cursed out loud, "We're not even doing anything to her and yet she kept on fainting in fright." he stated with a blank look.

"No, she's just afraid of men, so her reaction is natural." Laurent replied.

"Koyomi!" Kirie and Miharu shouted in concern before running towards their friend.

As this is going on, Coco and Ushio can't help but stare at Koyomi in utter disbelief and bemusement, "Don't tell me that she had fear of men?" the punk girl assumed.

"We don't interact that much but I can confirm that she does." Souseke replied.

"I wonder what will happen if I lock her in a room filled with men?" Coco thought out loud.

"Please don't." Souseke admonished, "She'd end up choking herself to death." he stated.

"Are you trying to make her fear of men, worse?!" Ushio exclaimed in disbelief.

"Ehehehe~" Coco chuckled.

Meanwhile, after finishing their breakfast and saying goodbye to Azusa Nakano, Mio Akiyama, Ritsu Tainaka, Tsumugi Kotobuki and Yui Hirasawa whom stayed behind in the cafeteria, Eddward "Edd & Double D" Marion Vicente, Edwin "Ed" Horace Hall, Rolf Von Olsson, Sally Bollywood and Doowee McAdam are seen making their way towards the front entrance hall of the Corona House.

"Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy!" Ed chanted happily, "I can't wait to check out the comic book shops in this city!" he expressed in excitement.

"The son of shepherd is excited as well in visiting the agriculture-related establishments." Rolf shared with a smile, "Rolf cannot twiddle one's thumb to part the old country's agriculture wisdom to me fellow agronomists." he stated.

"Just try and not weird them out too much with your culture, Rolf." Double D advised, "Anyway..." he uttered, "I, myself, is estatic to visit the Science Community and meet up with fellow science enthusiasts." he admitted with a smile.

"If Twilight is awake right now, she could accompany you there." Doowee thought out loud, "But she's asleep right now since she took part of last night's patrol." he pointed out when a thought came to mind, "By the way, Double D..." he called out, "... you said that you like to invent stuffs as well." he mentioned, "So, how about visiting the Creative Inventions Society?" he beckoned.

Double D thought about it, "That sounds like a good idea." he considered, "Sure, I'll go and visit the place." he accepted, "Are you part of the Creative Inventions Society, Doowee?" he asked.

Doowee nodded, "Yup." he confirmed before realizing something, "I should go and visit the Creative Inventions Society as well since I've been missing out a lot lately." he thought out loud.

"You go ahead and visit the Creative Inventions Society, Doowee." Sally beckoned, "I, on other hand, will be meeting up with my fellow detectives." she shared, "We had plenty of time to kill before we head towards our training session." she stated.

"Pardon me but I just realized..." Double D chimed in, "... does class and training session occur on the same time?" he asked.

Sally shook her head, "Fortunately, no." she answered, "Training sessions starts one hour after class." she shared, "But during times where class is on a break for an entire week that training sessions would start earlier than expected." she explained.

Double D nodded, "I see..." he uttered, "... that makes sense." he acknowledged, "Then I guess I don't have to worry about missing class because of training." he expressed in relief.

"I think Eddy would prefer attending training than attending class." Ed said with a big smile.

"Speaking of the short-stack Ed boy..." Rolf mentioned, "... wasn't magic boy Tenma suppose to wake Eddy up?" he reminded.

"That's right." Double D recalled in surprise, "I'm pretty sure Tenma had woke Eddy by now..." he uttered, "... so, what's taking them so long?" he questioned in confusion.

Shizuka Kasagi then walked towards them, "About Tenma-san..." she spoke to which got everyone's attentions, "... he is currently in the infirmary right now." she revealed, much to their shock.

"What?!" Double D exclaimed, "What happened?!" he asked in concern.

"Nothing too serious." Shizuka reassured, "He is just unconscious after being thrown out of the window." she stated.

"That IS serious!" Double D squawked in disbelief.

"What happened and why was he thrown out of the window?" Sally inquired.

Shizuka then explained what happened earlier after coming across everyone on the seventh floor, she told them that Tenma tried to wake Eddy up to no avail because the latter did some preventive measures and when Tenma tried to use magic, he got zapped and thrown out of the window as a result.

"Why that no good Eddy?!" Double D exclaimed in disbelief, "I'm gonna march to his room right now, force him out of bed and give him second thrashing!" he declared and was about to walk away when Doowee stopped him.

"Hold up, Double D!" Doowee interrupted, "I understand that you had every right to reprimand Eddy..." he admitted, "... but think things first for a bit." he beckoned, "What happened to Tenma could also happened to you if you try and force Eddy to wake up." he pointed out.

Double D thought about it and realized that Doowee is right, Eddy recently gained powers and it's obviously not wise to anger him because the ex-scam artist could retaliated way worse than being zapped or thrown out of the window.

The beanie-wearing boy sweat a little bit, "I see..." he uttered in acknowledgement, "... guess we had no choice but to leave him alone for now." he conceded.

"Rolf implores the same sentiment." Rolf replied in agreement.

"Let Eddy sleep like a baby." Ed beckoned with a dopey grin.

"I'll go check on Eddy later, so don't worry about him." Shizuka reassured.

Double D nodded, "Then we'll go visit Tenma in the infirmary to see his condition before heading out." he beckoned.

Everyone nodded in response, "Alright." they accepted.

"Ah! That was a nice breakfast!"

Walking out of the cafeteria, Ushio and Coco made their way across a hallway towards the main entrance hall of the Corona House. Earlier ago and upon entering the cafeteria, the two met up with Azusa and the girls, and after exchanging some greetings, Coco and Ushio made their way to the counter while the girl band left the place. Afterwards, the two concluded their breakfast and left the area in order to pursue their respective goals for the day.

"Breakfast was kinda light." Coco described, "But it'll keep me going until lunch time." she declared.

Ushio facefaulted, "You ate a whole roasted boar." she pointed out, "How is that a light breakfast?" she questioned in disbelief.

"It is in my opinion." Coco replied with a grin.

Ushio sighed, "Anyway..." she uttered while shaking her head, "... I'm going to meet up with my friends." she mentioned, "If you need any help with your equipment, then feel free to call me." she beckoned.

Coco nodded, "Thanks!" she replied in gratitude, "See ya later!" she expressed before running off.

Ushio chuckled, "Crazy girl but I like her." she admitted before turning around but when she blinked her eyes once, she suddenly found herself inside a white spacious room, much to her shock and confusion, "W-What the?!" she squawked, "What is going on?!" she shouted, "How did I get here?!" she added.

"I brought you here." a voice answered.

Ushio turns around and to her shock, she came face-to-face with a figure that looks identical to her but the difference is that her look-a-like is wearing a white blazer jacket over a white-collared shirt with a black necktie, white trousers, and black leather shoes.

Ushio took a step back while raising a finger, "W-Who are you?" she asked, "And why do you look like me?" she added with a nervous tone.

Her look-a-like smiled in response, "I am known as the Presence." they introduced themselves.
