Bittersweet: Wow, that was fast

Kusaya: sorry, classes were postponed due to lack of Yokaisona teachers

Bittersweet: well... I can offer you delivery jobs for now...

Kusaya: but what about my old job?

Bittersweet: we do not own everything here and that includes Bluey!

Kusaya: is Frisk hired again or something?

Bittersweet: Oh and Xenoblade Fans, Future Redeemed Spoilers down ahead! Careful!

Kusaya: What!? But what about my job!?

————————————————————

As both teams go through different parts, the remaining worlds are on high alert for them. The people captured felt like getting cramped since some are sent in the dome for treatment.

"I have caught some kids jumping around in the DLC world" Kronos tossed five characters down in front of Bingo and she stared at a guy with a ponytail

"Hehe, ponytail" Bingo brushed the hair of the stranger

"Ahgh, this beast hurt me bad, I think I've landed on my beans" he winced as he grabbed something on his zipper

"Hahahaha" Bingo laughed as she replied back in her granny voice, "I slipped on my beans!"

Others laughed and four out of five newcomers don't get the joke

"I understand, she must've heard your memorable lines perfectly" a long, silver haired stranger with a feminine body said it with sarcasm stared at Bingo and her naïve nature

"A, I clearly just said "My Beans"!" The male stranger got annoyed pretty quickly, "wait a minute... Balls..." he pointed to the ball pit, "Beans" he pointed to the bottom of Bandit, "did this place have a censor field, A?"

"Matthew, the majority of the population is older than the kids, they made it for the dogs here" A replied

"That adds up" Matthew stared at someone with their hair down, "I'll be right back"

"So you got sent here for the same thing? But you don't have a Yokaisona?" Noah replied to his old friends

"N! You're dead as done!" Matthew punched Noah in his face

"What did you do that for!?" Mio argued with Matthew

"Umm uhh Sorry?" Matthew stuttered as he made a mistake

"Oh you like to throw a mug at this lad's face, eh?" Eunie frowned at him as she put her fist at her hand

"I didn't know there was another N!" Matthew panicked

"Riku will not let human hurt friend Noah here!" Riku draws his sword at him

"Riku! You too!? I thought we were friends!?" Matthew surprised that he met his friend from the future

"Wait, you know him? How did he know your name?" Noah was recovering from the blast

"Riku is name of Masterpon's masterpon's masterpon! Like Riku said, Common Variety Nopon" Riku explained

"And you wear the same clothes as I remember!" Matthew shouted as he got into a brawl with the future counterparts

"Phenomenal" A placed her hand in her face as Shulk and Rex came to see what's happening

"So you're..." Shulk asked A

"A future version of a friend, yes" A answered

"Wait so you're somewhere in between?" Rex replied

"In a way, you prefer the gender of a character due to traits that either masculine or feminine" A smiled

Bingo stared at them as they fight but she remembered something important, "Bluey..." she felt sad as she missed her sister, but it has never lasted more than the time when she had gone through with her dad

"You missed your sister, right?" A tall slender man with a skin-tight outfit stared at Bingo

"Yes..." she hugged his leg

"I definitely had a hard time in both worlds..." he says to her

"Who did you miss?" She asked innocently as he recalled the devastating moments in his life, the day he was supposed to kill someone to prevent the inevitable, and the day when he lost his loved ones

"Everything..." he grabbed Bingo like a little kid and heading somewhere private

"You miss your home?" Bingo asked

"My home is where my family is, and they were taken away from me..." He sighed

"Is your Yokaisona taken away?" Bingo replied but he did not answer

"N... you can remember that, can you?" N asked his dog friend to respond, and she nodded

"There is something we can do and we need your support" N felt a bit hopeful as the heeler cuddled, the Moebius that fell into despair

As the sky begins to lightened an elevator opened up to an old temple. SAM, Coppojo, and Rolo came up they exited before one of the statues collapsed on top of the elevator

"It looks like we are going to another elevator across from here" Rolo explained

"Sure, do you know if that elevator can take us to Sourheart?" Coppojo asked

"We're close to Sourheart" across the hidden tunnel, we will enter the secret entrance to Bland-Body Island, where the city should be the center of.

"Bland-Body?" Coppojo muttered

"It was once called Dried-Corpse island, but due to the fear of cannibalism from outsiders, they renamed it to Bland-Body" Rolo set up the map details on paper

"Oh yeah... I was a bit hated by the kids I know. They might not be able to help me, but I bet they'll help you know where Soot is" SAM thought as he remembered something, "where is this secret tunnel?"

"It should be on the edge of the dark lands, guarded by a few colossi" Rolo replied

"Colossi?" SAM asked

"Colossi, plural term for colossus. Giant-sized monsters normally thrive in their terrain and are meant to be left alone due to rumors of a-" Rolo explained

"We should go right here in this spot no problem, we shouldn't explore too much, because what if we ended in a boss fight?" Coppojo looked at the map

"Affirmative Master Coppojo, we must proceed with caution" Rolo hopped onto the trail

"You sound a lot like that A person. The difference is, you're physically a robot!" SAM laughed as they go to the path in the sacred lands they've never explored before

—————————————————————

Songbird sets a circle around the campground as they heard the trio from across the sea, "They're here sooner than I thought... but we must delve deeper into our mind"

Bluey heard it too, but she heard a faint howl from across the sky, it is very weak, but she literally heard either her sister or her other friends

"Is your sister up there?" Kall asked unamused

"Yes... Bingo is up there... so does Mum and Dad." She whimpered

"I felt sort of the same when my little pal pass on..." Kall sighed, "that one bunny that I spared, he was a runt of the litter and explored the human towns to find shelter. He also speak their language in a way, this is why I can understand you..."

"What happened to him?" She asked

"He... was discovered by a careless human, he was mean and treated animals disrespectfully, even his own pets... that bunny went into a barn and never returned... it reminded me of how we Dingos feared man in a way... that occurred me, Soot may be a kind dog, but he somewhat goes for wild-living better than the city. I really understand why, it will make one uneasy." Kall growled, "but if we find those creeps who stole your family, you will put an end to him, you understand?"

"I have a yellow belt in taekwondo, I can break my own board!" Bluey boasted to Kall

"Really? Show me!" he pulled out a thick bark from a tree and she punched the board with her fist, "Whoa! I'm impressed with your moves, I guess kid characters have their own sense of fighting" both laughed as Songbird sat next to Soot with some of the chocolate ready on the plate

"Now then Soot, let's revisit your thoughts with this wonder sweet, one more time" they each took a bite of the chocolate and both were feeling crashed as they keep on meditating

The vision showed him the past events that they weren't included in, "SAM and Coppojo... they're there!" He saw them with a strange glitching cat, "this cat is new, but who is he?"

The world morphed into a western terrain and see a group of humans discovered two grassmen, "now what is SAM doing?" He laughed as they defeated the grassmen, "huh? They figured out their weaknesses?"

They were building a robot and the positive energy from SAM and the battery caused the robot to awake by itself, "You must protect the hope of one such weakness" A core orb speaks to Soot like he was there, a core looked like a small jellybean-sized infant of the slime-covered wallaby.

"What?!" Soot looked at the events that are about to occur. He saw a small dog or a small cat about to be squished by the same attacker from Soot's assigned place. A horde of thousands of dogs attacking the grassmen. And a sacrifice is made by a small cat figure as he, Bluey, and Coppojo were being dragged away from him smiling as rocks are falling down as an angry machine is destroying Yokaisonas surrounding in a shadow-like aura

Soot woke up, but still in dream land, he noticed Bittersweet standing there all bruised and bandaged up, "Why Soot?"

"Bittersweet" Soot backed away from Bittersweet

"Why did you attack me back then?" Bittersweet walking slowly in pain

"No, I smell chocolate and I was-!" Soot whined as he recalled that awful memory

"Crazy? It's not your fault that you have a chocolate problem. It's not my fault that I was made of the same stuff from what you eat" Bittersweet felt sad about what he said

Soot was stunned as he tried to speak "What I eat? Bittersweet, I have no clue that..."

"I was made of chocolate... I shouldn't have come to the downtown area... but... I guess... some of your folks might say they have faith in you, and it was no mistake. Maybe I was meant to put you in rehab and retirement, and go back as a babysitter..." Bittersweet walked towards Soot and sat next to him, "I saw you back in Aionios in the City, my alternate self saw it all"

"I don't know if I can... attack people like I once was..." Soot sighed

"Sure you can! You wowed Kusaya when he was a kitten. You are a legend before me, a legend told by the kids you've used to babysat with, making you a known underground hero before I came in the picture, and I can't even do the same thing as you, even the biting the arm off thing. That's something the Rottweilers or the Pit bulls can achieve." Bittersweet smiled as he turned back into an innocent small kid who is not harmed by him

"Maybe you're right, I just need an approval from you" Both hugged as Soot woke up to find him sleeping with a Bluey in his arms

—————————————————————

Bingo and N ended up at the edge covered in curtains, "I've got the dog"

"Hey man, I have this duck ready in hand" Malos argued as he holds Perry the Platypus as he chatted

"That's a beaver" N replied

"It's a platypus" Bingo laughed

"Do you have the item from the kitchen that we can use? They nullified our Blades here" N asked

"I took a really pricy knife from the burger shop, you can literally chop meat smoothly" Malos laughed

"What are we doing?" Bingo asked

"We're playing a little game" N told him, "and it's called 'Find our Yokaisonas as Ninjas'"

"Ohh!" Bingo gets excited, "are we gonna find Soot?"

"We're just finding my friend Logos, he is a purple angry kitty-cat" Malos perfectly makes a hole in the floor and grabbed a shovel

"We have kitties, but they were camera-shy" Bingo smiled as he followed the bad guys

"I know my friend is also camera-shy, but we have to keep moving!" N placed a panel under a rug and place both under the hole they made
