Soot: For those of you who caught up, this is PG because I don't want Bluey to get scared and adapt to vulgar behavior in other worlds!

Bluey: Mum gave me this hat for this reason

Soot: So just a heads up for those who STARTED Xenoblade Chronicles 3, beware of spoilers, this is up to chapter 5 to 6! I'll sum it up in the spoiler-free way as possible in the next chapter. But if they're going to read this anyway, you're warned then!

Bluey: and there are potential friends from Zayachu15 so look out for them!

Soot: so enjoy

Kronos appeared with the dogs and tossed them in the strange domed town with several Disney characters, "Crikey, this is the craziest one we've been in and we're not imagining it..."

"Hey, aren't you the dogs from the Australian cartoon?" A boy with a furry hat asked Bandit, and he gasped at seeing actual humans and monsters in the dome town

"Who are you?" Bingo asked

"Oh I'm Dipper, we just got abducted recently, by those strange beasts!" Dipper explained the situation with the dogs

"And I'm Mabel, it's nice to see cute dogs... everything is not the same when they took Pokunyan and Pikkunyan away!" Mabel cried

"The beast took your friends away?" Chilli gasped

Another grass beast tossed in several adult humans in the dome, "in you go!"

"Grrr... how dare they took Lofty away..." a lady in green clothes winced as a blonde lady helped her up along with a long haired black haired woman

"It's still not done, I must go to the other worlds for them, they might've forgotten about it or they have some memories of her" A small grass lady muttered to another one as she entered in a strange portal

"Hold on... is Lofty your Yokaisona?" Bandit asked

"She is, is yours taken away?" The lady asked

"Soot managed to get away and we sent our oldest daughter to ran away with him" Chilli sighed

"This is sort of similar to the plot..." The black haired lady looked guilty

"Don't beat yourself up, MarMar..." she said to her friend

"Mar... Mar?" Bingo smiled

"It's Marcy, by the way. These are my best friends, Sasha and Anne!" Marcy smiled and hugged Bingo, "I'm glad that we're not the only ones captured!"

"What shall we do for the other half who completed it?" The smaller beast said to a giant beast, "have them prepared to go to the regular kid rating worlds, I'm sure they'll get the message on the way there and we might do a sneak attack... as for the runners... we must let them go for now and continue with the gathering"

"Right on it, Atlas" the smallest one saluted

"Go back to the Disney worlds and gather more of the disease ridden characters along with the spreaders, Astra" Atlas ordered

"Yes sir" Astra nodded as she went to another portal

He grabbed a microphone as the speakers played loudly inside, "as you may have wondering, this is a quarantine zone, you're all infected with an unknown disease. We are here to cure you all, but if you do as I say, you will go home, all vaccinated with no burden of being unwell ever again"

"What is this disease? Why are you guys trying to separate us from our Yokaisonas?" Dipper yelled at Atlas

"Let me reassure you that it is a new variant of the nonfictional disease that is carried by a Yokaisona, and I want them to be kept away from you all. As soon as all of you are contained, we'll reunite you with your friends" Atlas comforts them, "before all of them are all found, you all can get to stay in this handy city I've made to keep you all entertained and distract your worries. You can settle with all the food and rest you'd like"

Others were looking at him with suspicion, but they slowly agreed with him

"Good. Good. As soon as every Yokaisona has been kept in quarantine, you will all be on a road for a long awaited cure" he sat as they all smiled

"Well... should we trust him?" Dipper grown worried

"If that's the only way to get Pokunyan and Pikkunyan back" Mabel replied

Bingo looked at him strangely, but as the type of breed she is, she doesn't want to say about it.

"Well the last one is a little too scary, eh? She almost wee at the sight of him" Chilli felt a sigh of relief

"But still... I hope that others aren't like that bugger" Bandit reassured her that this is still a sketchy situation

————————————————————

Soot coughed as the elevator shakes from all the disruptions and the so-called "Flanderization", it would be a wise choice not to pick worlds that may force to take Bluey's hat off to hear them harm her verbally.

"We're almost at the level, it should be far enough from danger" he carried her as the door rung open, he stepped out and saw a bunch of cute rabbit creatures nearby in a monster-filled region. He saw a green haired lady drinking a strange yellow liquid from a thick container, appeared in with a mechanical body, but he may not speak to her because doesn't seemed helpful. Across from her is a monster robe wearing cat with a strongly pungent fish smell.

"Augh, he stinks" Bluey covered her nose

"It seems friends not like smell of Traderpon Kusaya" a yellow rabbit replied after what Bluey has said

"Wait a second... Kusaya?" Soot shook as he recognized that name, "is that really you?"

"Uhh do I know you?" Kusaya asked

"Look, it's me Soot Mudbank, the heroic dog from Sourheart. I mean I was the hero dog... but what are you doing here? Aren't you a Pac-Man fan?" Soot asked Kusaya why

"You must mean my other-world counterpart. He likes the game, while I like Kirby. In a way... he's like Pac-Man" Kusaya answered, "My name is Kusaya, and I along with Bittersweet, are the elder cats of Aionios, cursed to live with eternal life as we are fated to meet the yokai cats of both nations to show them the whole truth."

"What a complex lore, but I might hear it later. Where's the elevator code that goes straight to Comicalla?" Soot asked for a favor.

"The code is not stable at the very moment, since the corruption that is happening in worlds right now, there will not be a safe way to go to FAHW all unscathed. If you want to be safe with your package here, you want to go to Bittersweet, he lives in The City on the land where the giant sword is." Kusaya grinned

"Well that seems helpful, we've got to go" He picks her up, grabbed his pen, and turn his pen into a flying bike.

"Be careful of the yokai you've meet over there! He gave me a glow-in-the-dark shroom instead of the radioactive shroom I've wanted!" Kusaya explained but can't seem to reach them, "huh, they'll figure it out.."

—————————————————————

Soot and Bluey pedaled to the bottom of the sword and Bluey is starting to catch her breath, "can we stop... I can't breathe..."

"It should be right around... here." He went to the door and saw a note saying something in his language, "my store is being relocated. It's under the world's surface. We apologize for this inconvenience for all new and old customers. Sincerely, Bittersweet."

"For now, you're telling us?" Bluey panted as she passed out

"I'll petal down to the world as you get some rest, let's go and get Bittersweet" he pedaled to the bottom and he is struggling to stay afloat due to his stamina running out

He and Bluey fall but he landed on his back as he carried her in his chest, "Ow!" The guards are stunned to see two strange beings landing in their doorstep

"Background check" the human guards examined Bluey, looking uncomfortable after they touched her fur, "you're good. You're next" they began searching through Soot's coat pockets and every opening available on his body, "he's clean. You may enter but you must never bring other visitors in this place"

"Yes..." Bluey was scared at how tall the humans are, it's the first time she saw the actual humans outside of her world.

"Did you see that? That's actually her!" One guard replied as they walked away

"I know! I love her and her family being cute and funny!" Bluey smiled as she felt happy meeting with scary people who are just pretending to be scary. Just as the guards were distracted, a small creature went over them and followed Soot and Bluey

Soot smelled a familiar scent, it's exactly like Bittersweet. "Let's go over there" he followed the path as other humans gazed at Bluey and her yokaisona

"A dog walking on two legs?"

"I hear the guards say she talks!"

"How is she here, isn't she like 6?"

"The City is no place for a puppy who don't give a snuff"

Bluey looked at the children and they adored her like she's a pet cat, "am I like a kitty to those people?"

"Well, sort off, you see, in the worlds where humans took over, Dogs are viewed as pets or animal companions" Soot saw a a canteen, and a dessert stand, with Bittersweet running it. He looked like an older teen wearing a green-brown bomber jacket that is close to adulthood, but Kusaya mentioned that he and Bittersweet are immortal cats here.

"Bittersweet!" Soot ran with Bluey and checking on him, "it's good to see you!"

"And you must be..." Bittersweet asked

"Soot Mudbank, Kusaya mentioned you would know how to make the safe passage to Comicalla" Soot explained

"How should I know? Unless you want to buy something... oh wait... you aren't allowed to have chocolate. That's all I'm selling here. Chocolate. Sweet, Sweet, chocolate. You dogs hated it!" Bittersweet frowned

"Oh uhh you see, I used to love chocolate but I've been cutting off from it due to my health problems. If you want, I could just buy one and give it to someone else" Soot explained

"That would work, I'm not running a charity here" Bittersweet gave him a chocolate bar and Soot handed him some money, "Australian bucks, eh, works for me"

"Now do you have to tell us where the safe passage to Comic world?" Bluey begged

"I have a run of elevator codes that can get you to where you need to be. The one you went in connects to your world, but in some cases, when things go south, I suggest this part of the world for another elevator trip" Bittersweet pointed to the turtle shaped colony

"What does it say?" Bluey asked

"Colony Kappa" Bittersweet answered, "A little yokai-only town run by a monster cat I'm familiar with... convince him and his commanders about your plea and your reason why, and you will use their elevator"

"So we have to go there now..." Soot sighed as he passed out, "I'm tired of pedaling..."

"It's not very far away from where we are, let's go and got there so we can save my family!" Bluey dragged a tired dog with all her strength but she fell and the crowd laughed and awed at her

A melody played from afar and she is familiar with the tune, it's her theme song. For a while, she's been hearing a flute playing when she entered the City. "The place is amazing, it has its very own orchestra"

All city humans stopped talking as they softly heard a flute melody, "did you hear that?"

"It's normally the theme of our civilization... but..." Bittersweet recognized the professional/amateur melody and set the alarm off

"Bittersweet?" Soot had his head up and Bittersweet closed the store as he ran into the streets with two confused dogs behind

"No time to explain, find the slimy yokai!" Bittersweet shouted as they scattered around the City looking for the intruder

Bluey ran but bumped into a strange silver creature with a big bagged backpack on his back. She was about to scream, but a slimy nub covered her mouth

"Shh! I don't want my great distraction to squeal, let's go. And I'll have you as my hostage!" A slime yokai took Bluey and heads to the exit with stranger ghosts outside holding a bucket big enough for the both of them

She tried screaming loudly, but Soot couldn't be able to hear her

"Yahahaha! Your motes are mine, you dumb nopon-loving City people! And your little cat too!" The slime laughed wickedly

"Who are you supposed to be?" Bluey asked

"I am your worst nightmare... but you seemed to be like a girl who doesn't understand the concept of harvesting energy from people, in short, I am SAM, Slimy Artificial Monster, I am! I'm gonna hold you hostage until your yokaisona comes here!" SAM introduced himself

"He will tear your head off for doing that, slime dog!" Bluey frowned

"Try me, and I'm not a dog... I'm just a monster with cat ears" SAM grinned

Bluey looked back at the City and grew worried about her and Soot getting separated, "so where are you taking me?"

"Colony Kappa, that's where my friend is" Bluey looked hopeful that he can lead them to the safe passage in their elevator

Soot and Bittersweet ran outside and saw SAM making his escape with Bluey, "BLUEY!"

"Geez, I was so distracted after we moved because of the execution... this guy always bust in here and collect the motes from dead people, and send them to Oruga. I didn't know he would find this place again. He is a little slime ball of trouble and he is a good kickball for us when we deal with him!" Bittersweet groaned as the enemy got away, "we have to go to Colony Kappa, that's where he's heading now"

"Let me get some rest first... I am exhausted from going to two locations just to find you..." Soot panted

"Let's go on my ride then, since you're tired. This is my fight too, I don't want to miss the kicking" Bittersweet summoned a ship and brought a tired old dog on board, "I'll ride gently, trust me, I normally assists the elderly"

"You're old as well!" Soot yelled in offense

"Well I'm stuck in the age of 18..." Bittersweet drove towards the turtle shaped island, "Next stop, Colony Kappa!"

—————————————————————

SAM: Phew that was close! It's been ages since I visited The City, and they're so distracted by a cute dog

Bluey: so you played the flute music?

SAM: Yep, well... I'm not a complete expert like the other Off-seers, but I'm learning all I can from my mentor

Bluey: how did you know my theme music?

SAM: oh I watched your show, everyone likes it, got the theme down in my head as I saw you walking

Bluey: but why are they're yokai in this world?

SAM: some yokai are from other worlds and they settled there because they're people who want their needs. I was one of them.

Bluey: That's cool from a guy who kidnaps me

SAM: haha thanks! But that's a story for another time

Bluey and SAM: Next time on "The Young Guardian"...

SAM: The Yokai Colony

Bluey: Vote and Comment!

SAM: we'll see you soon!
