"Sure, Hyleg. What is it?" asked Nana.

***

"I'll take that as a 'yes'." said Sonia as she observed Zap's reaction.

***

Moirae arrived back at the Dance Macabre, dragging Heat Genblem by the hand as the others followed her.

"Here we are, Genblem." said Moirae.

"Waitasec! The snake hates Genblem!" yelled Servbot 41 randomly. "He must be a mongoose! But then, why is he a turtle?"

"No, it's okay." said Moirae. "I promise Genblem won't hurt anyone." She then saw Hyleg. "Oh, Hyleg! It's been so long. It's me, Moirae!"

Aquarius Theater walked to a secluded part of the club, beckoning X to follow her.

"Is my brother okay?" Iris asked apprehensivly.

I have no pupils and I must scream.
"Well, as you know, Nana, I am a former Einherjar of Weil'sss and one of my siblingsss, Genblem has remained loyal to his creator...trying to hunt down and bring back any of thossse who have left the doctor, sssuch as Pegasolta, Lunaedge...and by association, myself." Hyleg explained.

"I took a big risssk coming here and I'd...much rather not go back to Weil, I'm much happier where I am now. Ssso I ask both you and your sssister to not inform anyone from the other bar that I am here." Hyleg said. "That'sss all I ask."

His attention then turned to Moirae. "Oh...wow, Moirae? It HAS been a long time..." The snake reploid looked rather surprised. sssmall world I sssuppose. He thought to himself and then smirked. "How have you bee-"

He cut himself off as soon as he saw Genblem, now it was Hyleg's turn to feel uncomfortable. Hyleg's jaw dropped, his facial expression was at first of total shock and then somewhere between confused and worried. "Oh, o-oh hi Genblem...um..." He bit his own lip, not knowing what to say.

...How...very awkward... he thought to himself as he scratched the back of his head.

"...That's one big Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle!" Cloudman exclaimed when he saw Heat Genblem. "I didn't even know they WERE that big."

"Wh...who are you?" Genblem says to Hyleg. "I mean...I have a file telling m you're Hyleg Ourobockle but...why can I not remember anything OF you? All i know is I am to capture you and return you. I know...Pegasolta...Lunaedge...I know who you are but I don't know anything...I should know." Genblem's hands trembled. "Why can't I remember you? It makes no sense."

"Well i won't talk but...we do have a problem there." Sonata says.

"No we don't, I'll explain later." X says, heading over to Aquarius. "I know what you are thinking and...I know you think we rushed in. But at the time and even now I still believe it was her only choice."



Suddenly Colonel burst through the door with Split Mushroom on his back. "GET OFF!!! I CAN'T PLANT A GARDEN OF YOUR DADDY I SAID!!!"

"Well how about me?" Split asks.

"NO!!! SOMEONE GET HIM OFF OF ME!!!" Colonel yells.

"Not gonna happen." Jet Stingray chimes in.

"MORE BEER!!" Hard Man yells.

"He still gives me the creeps a bit." Gigavolt says.

"I am enjoying this too much." Bloodrose says from the doorway.

"I will save you Sensei!!" Kendo Man charges in to smack Split off of him but ends up only hitting Colonel. "SORRY!!"

"I'm feeling a lot better now." said Moirae with a smile.

"I don't think so." said Aquarius. "I think this step was premature. She's not hiding from her emotions anymore, but she's still scared of them."

***

"Brother! Are you unhurt?" asked Iris, running up to Colonel.

***

"I promise, Hyleg." said Nana. "No worries."

"DASH CONDOR OMELETTE!" Sandy called from the kitchen. She hurriedly shuffled over to Marcus and Jerry's table, gingerly setting down a hot, steaming omelette in the center. "Sorry for taking so long; had to find the right ingredients. Eat up!"

"Her case needed a shock to the systems I think. A wake up call of sorts. It's a kind of tough love but I think it's created a chance to help her open up more." X blinks. "You got a piece of paper sticking out of your cloak." X points.



"Not as hut as someone else will be." Colonel says, rubbing his head.

"Heh...heh heh...oh boy." Kendo Man sighs.

"Hi Lady." Split waves to Iris, clung to the back of Colonel's head.



"I cannot recall the files...why can't I recall our missions? What did Juno do to me?" Genblem's body quaked. He reached out and took Moraie's hand. "I...I'm scared Moraie...what if all I know is a lie?" He asks with a quiet voice unfitting on such as he.

"A peice of paper? Where?" asked Aquarius as she looked behind herself.

"It'll be okay." said Moirae. "I think. I hope..."

***

"Well, as long as you're okay." said Iris, breathing a sigh of relief.

***

"Not blaming you." said Marcus to Burnerman. "Dash Condors rarely venture outside of the Met Cloud Kingdom. It would take a while to get the proper ingrediants. Well, dig in, Jerry." He ate a spoonful himself. "Hey, not bad."

"Stop moving." X snatches it. "It's from Theta and is addressed to Psi." X smiles. "You sly devil."

Psi perked up. "Really? From Theta? What does it say?"

Meanwhile, Aquarius Theater seemed a bit annoyed. It seemed like she had more to say to X, but Theta's note forced the topic to change.

"Here. It's likely private." X says. "Now where were we?" He says, turning his attention back to Aquarius.

The note read like this:

Psi

I know you're wondering why we're doing what we're doing right now but I can't tell you. I know...more secrets but it's for good reason. All I can assure you that it will be beneficial and that you'll know when it's time. Pi's alright, she's here of hr own volition so that should be hint enough.

Now I know it's selfish of me but I need to ask you to help Moraie. Show her this note so she knows I asked. Plus she needs to read this part:

Moraie, the only reason to fear emotion is the lack of control. You can find control and Psi her will help you. She'll keep you safer than anyone ls I know. Her heart's that big. Trust me.

Now back to you...and don't get gushy ok? What I wrote is true. If there is a problem I'll send over Tau. Alpha says hi.

Love you

Theta

Psi smiled, and shed a single tear.

" [size0]Thank you, Theta. I won't let you down." she whispered to herself before approaching Moirae.

"Hmm? What is it?" asked Moirae.

"I'm going to help you, Moirae." said Psi.

"Help me? But I'm as fine as I can be."

"Here."

Psi showed Moirae the note, and Moirae's expression soon fell.

"Oh. I- I see." she said in a saddened tone.

"Here, sit with me. Let's talk." said Psi.

"Just keep me away from the fire turtle." said Puppetman, a bit nervous. "You know my relationship with fire is not really what you'd call 'ideal'."

"Puppetman, don't be so rude." scolded Psi. "I apologize, Sir Genblem. My companion is made of wood, so he tends to get skiddish around fire." She sat down, but Moirae didn't follow. She looked at Genblem.

"It's fine." said Psi. "I understand if you feel a little nervous. If being with your brother will make you more comfortable, I'll allow it."

"Genblem, will you stay with me?" Moirae asked.

***

"Mr. X, I'm not against the shock to her system." said Aquarius Theater. "What I am against is moving too fast. Getting her to open up is all fine and good, but she's still scared. She wasn't ready for that whole ordeal. And the fact that we came out of it on top just makes it worse. I'll admit, I don't know much about Weil, but I'll bet he gave us Genblem just to mess with Moirae's psyche."

"He won't play that card yet. Trust me. I am him to an extent. Weil is playing a game but it won't come out the way he plans. I have my own game in motion. All i need is Dr. Light. As for Moraie...you may be right, but it's now in Psi's hands. She'll find a slower pace and I promise to move that pace if you will too. Don't worry, I just wanted to get the ball rolling. I don't want her turning out like me after all." X smiles. "She'll be fine. She has more strength than either of us knows."

-----------------------

"I...I won't leave you if you promise not to leave me." Genblem says.

Bloodrose's vines tense up as that is said. "May you have better luck than I." He whispers his wish so that few can hear.

-----------------------

"So what do you think will happen next?" Ninetails asks openly.

"I'd say evil twin but that'd likely summon someone like Dyna's brother." Tron says.

"Hrmm." Dynamax mutters.

"Something good I hope, we need more good things to happen." Eddie says.

"Let's hope so." Mammon says.

"Thank you, Genblem. I promise not to leave you." said Moirae as she sat down across from Psi.

"Alright then." said Psi. "Now, let's begin. I want to start off by asking a few questions."

"Um, sure." said Moirae.

"First off, have you always feared your emotions?"

"Not really." said Moirae. "Before X attacked, I didn't really express myself all that much. I just followed Weil's orders."

"But you still cared for your brethren in the Einherjar."

"That is correct."

"I see. So, what happened when X attacked?"

"I tried to defend one of my brothers. My attempt was in vain, but I survived. I figured that since altruism didn't work, I'd stop caring about others. If I move, they will break."

"So, this wasn't you doubting your own power or ability?" asked Psi.

"That's correct."

"Uh-huh. But how did it feel?"

Moirae gulped, and her breathing became somewhat erratic. "It hurt. It hurt a lot. It kept hurting me until I recognized my mortality, and just let everything go."

"I see. I think we're getting somewhere." said Psi. "What did you do before recognizing your mortality?"

Moirae figited. "I- don't want to get into it. It hurts just thinking about it."

Psi nodded. "Very well. I won't force you. You can tell me when you're ready. Now, just take a deep breath and relax."

Moirae complied. "Th-thank you." she said.

***

"Well, I've already promsied myself." said Aquarius. "I want to help her too, y'know." She then looked over at Bloodrose. "Something wrong?"

***

Mu shuffled his Tarot deck and flipped a card. "The Sun. Something good is aproaching. I cannot say what exactly."

"Well, that's more than enough for me." said Sonia. "This place could use some good fortune." She turned back to Count Zap. "So, need a hand with your guitar, or can you handle it yourself?"

***

"Geeze, I didn't think you'd be that taken aback by my compliment, Emeraldo." said Marcus as he continued eating. "Look, I hate repeating myself, but I'll say it again: If I wasn't still in training, I'd make you my apprentice in alchemy. I really admire your enthusiasm, and you might just have what it takes."

"Yes, I am not really good with guitar maintence. I left that to my robot butler...WHY ANN WHYYYYY?" Zap returns to his melodrama.

"He needs a drink of tea." Gigavolt says. "It makes him less freaky."


----------------------------


"Remembering a past I cannot let go of." Bloodrose says, eyeballing the kitchen.

"Uh-huh. Before you freak out again, mind if I have a look at it?" asked Sonia.

***

"Let's talk about something else." said Psi. "Moirae, what do you like?"

Moirae had to think about this for a while. "My brothers, I suppose."

"No hobbies or anything like that?"

"Not really." said Moirae. "When I started living day-to-day, I just did what Weil programmed me to do. But I didn't feel any sense of accomplishment or dread. It just, was."

"Mm-hm. So, you've just been drifting through life like this until the Red Angel Dragnet picked you up."

"Yes." said Moirae. "Ever since X destroyed the Einherjar, I've always been a drifter of sorts. No real ambitions or goals. I just go through life until I die the way I wish to die."

"Hmmm. Let me rephrase my first question. Moirae, is there anything that makes you happy?"

Moirae paused to think. "Nothing really comes to mind. I mean, I love my brothers, but beyond certain extreme circumstances, I don't remember interacting with them all that much. I think. My memory's a bit hazy."

"A-ha. I think we're making a bit of progress." said Psi. "Now, I can't tell you what direction your life should go in, or what you want to pursue. But if you want, I can help you get started. I feel like this bleak view on life ties in with your lack of control."

"It might." said Moirae. It does, she thought to herself.

Puppetman seemed to strike a thinking attitude, and then Psi made him face Hyleg. "Hey, Hyleg. Maybe you can shed some light here for Moirae and Genblem. You remember anything about them before X attacked?"

***

"Anything I can do?" Aquarius asked Bloodrose.
