Diamond Dogs Chapter 8

The first thing I saw when I walked through the portal was a towering building with a silver R adorning the metallic red circle on the tippity top. There were plenty of Travel Tubes all around the city let alone the building, making it all the easy for us to get lost around here. We knocked on the door and it was promptly opened by a young woman in a fluffy sweater with her hair done in an upward bun. 

"Hi there, welcome to Robinson Industries." the woman greeted us with a simple handshake as we walked into the building together. "You must be the kids that tinkered with the Card Key and Switchblade Morpher. The Lab would be thrilled to see how their extra attachments can be used for cyberspace exploration."

"Yeah, can't wait to see what secrets lie beneath the other side of our screens." Eraqus let out a nervous chuckle as my mind wandered to the woman, who looked like she had places to be that aren't this amazing place. 

"Well, you kids better mosey on in to get a feel of what the modern-day Elon Musk does for a living on a regular basis." modern-day Elon Musk. God, I love the future! But there was something off about that lady in the lobby as she left the building and met with another odd figure. He looked to be a grassy gecko with metal arms with a gold plating for good measure.

"You have extracted our controller agent from her host?" the gecko smacked his lips as the woman handed him a jar with a spider-like slug creature swimming in a pool of bluish, lime-green energy. "Yes, feast dear sister, we shall extract your memory to download it into your younger body from the past."

The gecko extended his arm and revealed what appeared to be a holo-projector in the palm of his hand. The hologram projected was a man cloaked in shadow in front of a desk, The only part of him that was illuminated was his gold-trimmed Power Glove. "Excellent work, Putah 86, with the data you have experienced, our technology shall make our reign over continuity absolute! Soon we will purge all who question the role of the plot and the concept of sentient life will be mine to control!"

As his maniacal cackle roared throughout their own, I soon snapped back into reality. "You okay, sis? Your eyes had the bleeps, showed the sweeps, and lost the creeps."

"I, uh, yeah, I'm fine. Lets-Lets just go in the elevator." I was confused as to what I just saw, it was as if I was being dragged through another person's point of view and witnessed her own story unfold. "Hey, Eraqus."

"Yeah?"

"You think that it's possible for people to have these... Out of Body experiences in some way?" Eraqus scratched his scalp at this question, Yen Sid was too befuddled by the question to even care at this point, Xehanort merely looked away in shame. "Y'know when your souls start following someone completely different for no reason? ...Anyone? Just me?"

"Let's just put everything back into the briefcase, alright?" Eraqus opened the briefcase and extended his arm to re-obtain its former contents. I refused. "I want to do it as long as I know it's the right thing to do."

"So, you're holding onto that thing?" asked Eraqus. I nodded.

"We won't know what is till we find out, so we might have to keep it out til we understand what this... spacesuit generator is capable of." We made our way up on the elevator and I asked him a question that Toriyama has never answered in his time in charge.

"Do you think that maybe Sorge is still out there building robots?" I wanted to know if Eraqus knew about the Androids that Sorge Gero was probably building at the time, the same line of androids that terrorized Terra and Madoka (Aqua as she's called in the Nomura era). I hoped that if he did, then we could abort all of them by wrecking his lab, Bleaching KHIII out of canon as a result. "Cause, well... you can never be to careful."

"Who cares if we think that? He's cut from the Agency after their hired hands at the Rozen Writer's guild fell through at the hands of these puppies." He then proceeded to flex his wiry muscles to the chagrin of Xehanort. "He ain't harmin' no one so why should I even care?"

I had a feeling that he'd dodge the question, the good doctor couldn't even make it into Destinies, the poor conformist. "So, Masako's brought up a certain Prius incident, mind filling me in on it?"
