Black Hook the Dragon. One of the characters from the Metal Cardbot cartoon series, which I decided to depict as a dragon. I figured that in Metal Cardbot there are wild and secretive Cardbots, so perhaps there are also "Ancient Cardbots," like dinosaurs. Here's my idea for the world of Metal Cardbot: Long ago, in the early days of the Machine Planet, the Machine God created the "Ancient" Cardbots, who couldn't transform into robots or machines, only wild lizards and beasts. But then, when the first "Wild Cardbots" appeared and began to displace the "Ancients," they disappeared from history.

A story about Jun Crest from the animated series Metal Cardbot. The story takes place after the conclusion of the third season of Metal Cardbot.

Note: The story features characters from the animated series, as well as their alternate versions—people from another world.

Fortsetzung: Another world is interfering with my peaceful life

.....................

Somewhere in a distant forest, three people had been walking for three hours.

"Hey, how long have we been walking? I'm tired and hungry," said the purple man.

"You've already told us three times," said the white man.

"I don't see a road, a city, not even a path. And friend, we're on a desert island," said the handsome man.

"No, we can just walk near the city," said the white man.

They walked all day through the forest, looking for anything that might lead them to a settlement, but to no avail. One of them sat down and said he couldn't move any further, saying the remaining two were thinking of finding a place to rest. They found a more level area, reached it before sunset, and decided to spend the night in a clearing.

"Where are we anyway? Clearly not home?" said the red man.

"The forest is different, the foliage here is different from ours. This is clearly a different world, perhaps," said the White Man.

"When will we eat?" said the Purple Man.

"I don't know, but I'll try to find something to eat," said the White Man.

They fell asleep on the grass, and at first it was quiet. In the middle of the night, the Purple Man woke to various sounds: birds rustling in the distance, fireflies chirping somewhere. The other two were fast asleep, and he didn't want to disturb them. He sat down and pulled his legs close to him, listening to nearby sounds. He heard foxes rustling in the bushes. He heard the sound of someone walking in the forest. He began to feel afraid. Night in the forest was unusual, even though he and his older brother had often gone into the nearby forest. Perhaps his older brother's absence was unnerving, as he had always protected him from many problems. The sounds in his ears began to quiet down, leading to panic, and he began to look around in fear. And then, after a couple of minutes, he screamed in fear, raising two of his fallen comrades.

"Well, why are you screaming? Are you scared?" said the White Man.

The purple one was frightened and closed his eyes, curling up tighter, so the red man decided to hug him and comfort him, so he could sleep. He managed to get him to sleep.

"It looks like he's fallen asleep; he's clearly frightened by recent events," the red man said.

"Considering his brother's behavior was so out of control. And the fact that we're in another world, it all affects his psyche. Especially since he's the younger brother, who was always protected by his older brother. He's just stressed... It's better to sleep now and deal with the problems tomorrow," the white man said.

The two of them fell asleep. The next day, they all woke up and started discussing what to do. They were unsure where to go or which way to go. Two people argued about which way to go, right or left, but everyone got so angry that they turned away and became upset with each other. The purple one watched their argument and began circling around them until he heard a noise and a delicious smell in the distance. He followed the scent of a delicious breakfast madly. His two disgruntled companions saw him confidently wander off somewhere, asked him where he was going, and heard him say he was drawn by the smell of food. They followed him, running down the hill through branches and leaves until they finally emerged into the fields of a farm, where someone was clearly preparing a meal of fresh vegetables.

"Finally, we've reached civilization!" said the white man.

"It smells delicious, vegetable stew!" said the purple man, licking his lips.

"Let's ask for help. Don't think our species will be in perfect condition right now," said the red man.

"Let's go!" shouted the purple man.

They ran through the farmhouse to the house, hoping for food and water, as their wandering through the forest had weakened them considerably. A man near the farmhouse was preparing vegetable stew for his companions nearby, also discussing future interactions with Cardbot about continuing to improve the farm's fields and harvest. Their conversation was interrupted by three people who appeared lost in the forest, all of them dirty, exhausted, and emaciated.

"Are you lost in the forest?" said Vadin, the farm owner.

"Clearly lost. How long have you been walking?" Pavlov, the tractor driver, said sternly.

"Yes, we're lost in the forest, and we haven't even counted how long we've been walking. Can we ask you for help?" said the red man who looked like a fireman.

"We're exhausted, that's for sure. We even slept in the forest, and we don't even know where the nearest town is?" said the white man, who looked like a medic.

"It smells delicious. Can I eat it?" said the purple man.

"Yes, of course, it's a vegetable stew made with fresh vegetables. We'll help you get to the nearest town, a town called Mounttown. There are farmers' crops here, so we're a bit far from the city here," said Vadin.

"Yeah, feed us, give us something to drink, and we'll wash you off a bit from all these branches. What's your name, anyway?" said Pavlov.

"My name is Amber Vanestion. I'm a doctor, so we're not seriously injured or hurt, just exhausted and worn out from walking a lot," Amber hopped along.

"I'm Phoenix Fi, a member of the fire department. Nice to meet you," Felix Fi bowed and shook his hand.

"I'm Matus Cage's younger brother," Cage said.

"Cage is the youngest of us. He's more hungry and scared right now, but we're still taking care of each other. I see you're a robot, aren't we?" Amber asked.

"It's interesting that you two have the same names as people I know. He's also Amber and Felix Fi. My name is Blaster Gallon, and I'm Cardbot," he said.

Two of them were interested in his fame, but they didn't pay attention. The third had already started eating the stew, so he didn't even hear their conversation. After a while, Pavlov and Vadin were deciding how to send them to Mounttown and who else to give them to. While they were discussing this, Blaster Gallon decided to tell Jun the story. He received a reply that they needed to be taken to the Edo dealership.

"We're exhausted, that's for sure. We even slept in the forest, and we don't even know where the nearest town is?" said the white man, who looked like a medic.

"It smells delicious. Can I eat it?" said the purple man.

"Yes, of course, it's a vegetable stew made with fresh vegetables. We'll help you get to the nearest town, a town called Mounttown. There are farmers' crops here, so we're a bit far from the city here," said Vadin.

"Yeah, feed us, give us something to drink, and we'll wash you off a bit from all these branches. What's your name, anyway?" said Pavlov.

"My name is Amber Vanestion. I'm a doctor, so we're not seriously injured or hurt, just exhausted and worn out from walking a lot," Amber hopped along.

"I'm Phoenix Fi, a member of the fire department. Nice to meet you," Felix Fi bowed and shook his hand.

"I'm Matus Cage's younger brother," Cage said.

"Cage is the youngest of us. Why is he hungrier and more scared right now, and why are we still taking care of each other? I see you're a robot," Amber said.

"It's interesting that you two have the same names as people I know. He's also Amber and Felix Fi. I'm Blaster Gallon, and I'm Cardbot," he said.

Two of them were interested in his fame, but didn't pay any attention to it. The third had already started eating the stew, so he didn't even hear their conversation. After a while, Pavlov and Vadin were discussing how to send them to Mount Town and who else to give them to. While they were discussing this, Blaster Gallon decided to tell Jun the story. He received a reply that they needed to be taken to the Edo Auto Dealership.

"So, that's what we decided. My friend said he found your friends and they're waiting for you in Mount Town at the Edo Auto Dealership. Their names are Blue Neon and Track," Blaster Gallon said.

"Ah, Track and Blue Neon, I understand, everything's fine... Yes, they're our friends," Amber said.

Where are they now?" Phoenix Fai asked.

"They're in Mount Town right now." "I can arrange for you to be driven there, but first we need to take a walk to a certain place, okay?" Blaster Gallon suggested.

"I agree," said Ember.

Felix Fi nodded in agreement. Cage asked if he could take some vegetable stew with him. They put it in a container and served it in a bag, which he was pleased about. They waved goodbye and walked with Blaster Gallon. They didn't walk far to the hangar.

"Now let's go inside," said Blaster Gallon.

They went inside and sat down on some boxes. Blaster Gallon was stacking crates of vegetables on top of each other. A TV was mounted on the wall, showing the news. A pink monster truck, a friend of Cardbot's, also drove into the hangar.

"Hello, Blaster Gallon, who are you? Hi, I'm Buffalo Crash," he said, waving.

"These are the guests who need to be delivered to "Juna, he's waiting for them," Blaster Gallon said.

"That's it..." Buffalo Crash said questioningly.

He approached to ask June why they were there. Curious to know, he told her what he'd told him. That he was ready to deliver them to their friends.

"Seriously, we have guests? What the hell are they doing here!?" the newcomer asked.

"These aren't staying long. We need to take them to June. He said some Maria is waiting for them. And he said he'll explain something to us," Blaster Gallon said.

"What's the big deal? Take them yourself," he snapped.

"What? June told us three to come, right!" Blaster Gallon said angrily.

He snorted and walked to the back of the Hangar.

"Who's that? Is he bigger than you?" Felix Fi argued.

"That's the Captain," said Buffalo Crash.

"Or more precisely, Black Hook. He might be a bit rough around the edges, but he understands when you speak to him," Blaster Gallon said sarcastically.

"What did he say about me?" "Black Hook said angrily.

"Yeah, nothing," Blaster Gallon said sarcastically.

While he was putting away the boxes and crates, Black Hook returned to the Hangar and stood by the wall, examining the new people. The three sat and watched Blaster Gallon's actions until Cage came down and started running around, examining everything. He looked at all the markings on the boxes, and also at the two Cardbots, examining what they were doing, but unexpectedly he approached the largest Cardbot and abruptly began hugging him by the leg. Everyone jumped and became agitated.

"What! What is he doing!" said Felix Fi.

Ember stopped and ran toward Cage, grabbed him by the back, and pushed him away.

"What are you doing? We're guests here!" Ember said angrily.

Cage looked at him sadly, and his face began to change to sadness, causing him to cry.

"Hey, why aren't we in the forest already? We'll be with Maria and our friends soon. Just calm down," Ember tried to calm him down.

"Why is he always crying?" asked Buffalo Crash.

"No, he's just still scared because of recent events. He's never been like this before, so it's all just pent up," said Phoenix Fi sadly.

"I want my brother! I want to go home, I want to be with my big brother!" Cage said, crying.

"Yes, you pay your brothers as you please?" said Ember.

Cage shook his head, "No."

"Then why are you crying?" Ember asked questioningly.

"It reminds me... It reminds me of my older brother," Cage said.

Ember and Felix Fi were surprised by these words.

"Why does it remind me?" asked Blaster Gallon.

"Cage has two brothers: a middle brother, Gal, and an older brother, Atlas. We don't know where Matus Gal is now, and Atlas is now a villain; he used an artifact, which led to unpredictable consequences," Ember said.

"Brother looks the same..." Cage said, pointing his finger at Black Hook.

"The same?" said Felix Fi.

"Yes, blue, yellow shirt, blue hat... Directional Star?" Cage asked thoughtfully and sadly.

"Directional Star? What's that?" said Felix Fi.

"Directional Star, I think it's an old spell?" said Ember.

"A spell?" asked Buffalo Crash.

"Magic, and quite powerful, and the old ones haven't been used for a long time," said Ember.

"Magic? What nonsense... It doesn't even exist yet, it's even been scientifically proven," said Blaster Gallon.

"Yes, in your world, that's true... But in ours, magic has been proven by scholarly research from various empires, and they've even shown detailed documentation. I saw magic once, but not everyone can use it. Our race can't have magic, but you can write it if you know how. Also, a neighboring empire has completely built a scientific research base for magical science and is using it in all spheres of life," Ember said.

"Okay, it's late, maybe you should get some sleep, and tomorrow we'll go see your Maria," Blaster Gallon said.

"Yeah, I guess so," said Ember.

The three of them fell asleep again, this time only on boxes and covered with rags. The next morning, Blaster Gallon, Buffalo Crash, and three humans were sitting on the deck of the Black Hook in the ship's alternate mode.

"So, in your world, the Cosmo Rod was used, which went out of control and teleported you all to different places in our world, and now Atlas is threatening our world?" said Blaster Gallon.

"Yes, I'm sure he won't stop and will try to destroy this world," said Phoenix Fi.

"He's probably already thinking about how to destroy this world," said Ember.

"Let the north, west, east, and south dance and show the way, the dragons will descend from the sky and show four light, the sun is quietly setting, but the moon has returned with it..." Cage says cheerfully.

"Cage, what are you talking about?" said Felix Fai.

"A story... A story my brother told me when I was little, to amuse me," said Cage cheerfully.

"A funny and strange story," said Buffalo Crash.

"Funny, is that a story you have there?" said Black Hook curiously.

"Well, my brother said it was a story," said Cage.

"I've never heard that story before," said Amber.

"That's right," said Phoenix Fai.

"I heard something similar a long time ago, only the legend of the pillars of heaven," said Black Hook.

"There are four lights or four pillars West, East, South and North, they were once directions in different regions of the plane, when there were rumors that they were secretly built for the sake of seizing power, but in the end they were abandoned and became remnants of the past, now they are gone..." - said Black Hook.

"A fairy tale for children. We'll be there soon, not much longer," said Blaster Gallon.

Cage's mirth faded, and he looked thoughtfully into the distance, wondering what the others were doing.

"There you go again, sad again. Are you wondering where middle brother is?" said Phoenix Fi.

"Yeah, he's smart, but I still worry where he is?" said Cage.

"Although I think he's fine," said Amber.

Cage brightened up and smiled, but then suddenly said something very strange...

"You're us! We're in parallel... We're in the mirror... Are you Mateus too?" Cage asked everyone.

"Who did you just tell?" said Amber.

"Them..." he pointed at Buffalo Crash and Blaster Gallon.

"What? No... We're not related, we're just a group," said Blaster Gallon.

"We're a team," said Buffalo Crash.

"What? I don't understand what he means?" said Black Hook.

"Why are they Mateus? They're not your brothers," said Felix Fi.

"They're us," said Cage, confused.

"I don't understand what you mean?" said Felix Fi.

"Ah... Big Brother explained that if everything is almost the same, then it's... It's... It's a mirror, I'm you, you're me, he said that you can meet yourself in another world," said Cage.

"He said that? That's a strange answer," said Felix Fi.

"Not exactly. I've heard that the Mateus family has been studying artifacts and other worlds for a long time, and it seems Big Brother decided to use that to transport us, although that's just rumor... Cage, is it true that your brothers studied worlds?" asked Ember.

"Yes, but the brothers never used any of the artifacts, nor did they use any of the devices for it," said Cage.

"Didn't use them? Where did you put the artifacts?" asked Amber.

"We gave some to the dragons, and kept others in boxes at home," said Cage.

"Dragons? Probably Anfloria, the dragon kingdom... the Mirror?" said Amber.

"I think I understand what you mean," said Amber.

Part 1: A Friend from Another World.

I had the idea to draw a short comic featuring “Metal Cardbot.” It's a comic about an alternate dimension where the Metal Cardbots are humans with stones in their foreheads. Jun accidentally falls into this other world, where he meets a new friend who helps him get back home…

A story about Jun Crest from the animated series Metal Cardbot. The story takes place after the conclusion of the third season of Metal Cardbot.

Note: The story features characters from the animated series, as well as their alternate versions—people from another world.

Chapter 2: An Old Case Disrupted My Peaceful Life

A year has passed since Jun returned home from another world. When he came back, he hugged his parents and his Cardbot friends, telling everyone how he had met another human-like friend and how they had searched for a way back home. Some gasped, some were surprised, and some looked pensive, but everyone was happy that he had returned safe and sound.

Today he ran to Ed’s car dealership to try out a new bike and decided to ride over the jumps. Anna and Theo are watching and enjoying it. Wild Guardy and Crest pulled up next to them. Crest says he met a strange girl wearing a gray cloak, that she’s a human with a horn, but he told her he hadn’t seen him.

“She’s looking for a guy with burgundy hair and green eyes, in a red-and-black suit, with black pants, and a horn on his head. It confused me that the guy had a horn. But I told her I hadn’t seen him, and she walked away...” Crest said, sounding puzzled.

“People don’t have horns, do they? Then who was she talking about...” Theo said.

“Did she talk to anyone else?” Jun asked.

"Yeah, she even talked to Shadow X when he was in town helping people. He also said he hadn’t seen anyone like that, let alone someone with a horn. “This all looks strange,” Crest said.

“Why would she need a person with a horn? It sounds more like a fantasy character,” Anna said.

“I agree. There aren’t any people with horns at all,” Theo said.

A couple of minutes later, Blue Cop arrived, looking concerned. He began to take a closer look at everything.

“What happened, Blue Cop?” Jun asked.

“Jun was here...” Before Blue Cop could finish, he was interrupted.

“It’s you! It’s all your fault! You idiot! You’re to blame for everything!” said the mysterious stranger.

A man in a red-and-black suit, with a horn on his head, appeared at the entrance to Edo’s car dealership, clearly in a furious, almost uncontrollable state. He was clearly speaking to Jun.

“It’s all your fault! I ended up here and lost my friends because of you!” said the mysterious stranger maliciously.

He raised his right hand to his forehead, where the crystal horn was, and summoned a large, bulky sword from there. He grabbed it with both hands and charged at them. Blue Cop ran toward the attacker and tried to disarm him, but the stranger attacked him.

“Don’t get in the way, you dumb tin can!” said the stranger.

“Why don't you calm down? Jun won't hurt you—he doesn't even know you. Why do you want to kill him?” asked Blue Cop.

"Jun here, Jun there, Jun everywhere... That demon with the ‘Cosmo Staff’ is constantly talking about some guy named Jun! He’s getting on my nerves—he probably helped get the ‘Cosmo Crown, Cosmo Stone, and Cosmo Amulet,’ those damn artifacts! And he even told us how to create the ‘World Artifact Cosmo-Staff,’ that powerful artifact that many couldn't find—how to restore it to its true form. That demon just went and created it and used it to teleport here!" said the Stranger.

“I don’t know what demon you’re talking about, so calm down! I didn’t help with anything; I don’t even understand what you’re talking about! Please stop!” Jun shouted.

“What, then why is he constantly talking about you!” said the Stranger. He kicked Blue Cop hard in the leg and grabbed his arm, knocking him over violently.

“Blue Cop!” Jun said.

“Well, you won’t get away with this!” the stranger said.

He lunged at Jun, but suddenly...

“Stop, Vergan Fai! Stop it!” said the girl in the robe.

“Maria! It's you... Praise the Goddess! You're here!” said Vergan Fay joyfully.

“What are you doing?! Is it normal to just throw yourself at anyone? Calm down!” said Maria.

Vergan Fay sighed and began to calm down, and the crystal horn started to shrink and turn into a crystal on his forehead.

Jun was reminded of the people from another world, where people have a stone on their foreheads.

“No, of course not. But he’s the Jun that demon was talking about!” he said, pointing at Jun.

“Jun? So you’re Jun Cross. Tell me, where is your crazy friend right now?” Maria said menacingly.

“Yeah, what friend!? I don’t know who you’re talking about!? Maybe you’ve got me mixed up with someone else?” Jun said questioningly.

“Don’t play dumb, boy with blue hair and blue eyes. You match the demon’s description, but it seems you don’t know him…” Maria said.

“I’m Maria Cornelia, I’m human. But I’m from another world,” Maria said.

Jun and Blue Cop, Anna and Theo were surprised by her words. They asked how they had ended up here and what had happened there.

"In my world, in my empire of Mashliostolia, the Great Goddess Deusia Makina reigned. She was a great and courageous woman who decided to become the ruler of two races—the Cardpeople and humans. Her desire was to create a peaceful world for all living beings. But one day she saw my aspirations and my ability to befriend other beings and decided to make me her advisor, but that never happened—she disappeared under unknown circumstances, leaving me alone. However, Deusia Makina left me her artifact so that I could bring all sides of the conflict together and befriend everyone, I finally managed to get humans and Cardpeople to become friends... Many became friends with me, but... One Cardperson was kind and cheerful at first, loved to talk, but after a while he started acting like he was going crazy, and stole three artifacts: Iron’s Cosmo Crown, Nova’s Cosmo Stone, and then Zero’s Cosmo Amulet. He stole from everyone, turned them into a Cosmo Staff, and started destroying everything around him so that... I don’t know...

I tried to talk him out of it, but in the end we started a battle and my friends and I defeated him, but something went wrong—everything shook and there was a sharp white flash... And I found myself alone in this world." Maria said sadly.

“That’s a sad story...” Anna said.

“How many friends were there? A lot—Vergan Fay is one of them,” Maria said.

“Yes, there are many of us, but that demon is still with us—if he isn’t stopped, he’ll destroy this world now,” Vergan Fay said.

“Tell me at least a few things—their names or what they look like—so I can tell my friends in different cities. They live in different places now, and they can look for them,” said Jun.

“That would be great if you could help us. We’ll just have to tell them I’m looking for them; they’ll understand,” said Maria.

“Okay, who should we start with?” asked Vergan Fai.

“The friendliest one first, and then my more troublesome friends,” said Maria.

“Okay. Let’s start with the quiet ones—they don’t like fights, so they’ll be easy to convince. That’s Amber Vanestion—he was a local doctor at the Parris City Hospital. He mostly wears white, and his hair is red and green. Next is Phoenix Fai—one of the fire brigade from that same city. They’re childhood friends, so if we find one of them, we might find the other. He’s usually pretty reserved. Red hair, yellow eyes, and he looks like a firefighter.” said Vergan Fai.

“What about Phoenix Fai?” said Jun, surprised and confused, since he had a Cardbot with a similar name who was also a firefighter.

“Yeah, why does the name sound familiar?” asked Maria.

“No, I just thought it was an interesting name,” Jun said nervously.

"Well, young Blue Neon already holds the title of Star Guardian, that blue-and-white guy. There’s the athletic guy Mega Track, all in orange; there’s the purple joker Shadem X; there’s the mischievous engineer Green Matheus Gal; his younger brother Matheus Cage is bright pink and green, very friendly, but sometimes sad... “They're all pretty friendly and sociable,” said Vergan Fai.

“Who are the troublemakers?” asked Anna.

“Well... Heavy Iron and that demon... Atlas Mateus,” said Maria.

“Heavy Iron…” said Theo.

“Atlas Mateus…” said Jun.

“Heavy Iron is a very unfriendly type; he’s mostly quiet if you don’t bother him and there won’t be any problems. He looks scary and is strong enough to wipe out a large crowd of Car People.” said Vergan Fai.

“The demon was Atlas Mateus,” said Jun.

“Yes, Atlas Mateus is a demon. We got along fine with him. He was hot-tempered and arrogant, very proud—I’d say ‘quite the narcissist’—but at the same time, he loved his brothers deeply... And I... The conflict arose from a misunderstanding, I think. Since I didn’t take his brothers away from him, he started yelling... That I’d taken them away, even though that wasn’t true,” said Maria sadly.

“I think it's because of everything that happened to him in the past,” said Vergan Fay.

"Long ago, the Mateus brothers were separated by their parents, who decided to raise the two younger brothers and leave only the eldest, Atlas, as their heir. But a few years later, the Mateus parents were killed in an accident at their home, though the butler was blamed for their deaths. A month later that same year, the older brother returned home with his younger brothers... I think Atlas Mateus considers you his enemy because you took his brothers away from him again," said Vergan Fay.

“Maybe…” said Maria.

“That’s a sad story,” said Anna sadly.

“Don’t worry, we’ll find them together!” said Jun.

.....................

In the village of Porkaka, a man in a white-and-blue shirt wandered around, taking in his surroundings. Noticing that everything here was different from home, he wondered, “How can I find my friends?” He surmised that they must be scattered across different places, perhaps even different cities. Blue Neon didn’t know where to go, so he sat down on a bench and sighed sadly as he watched the passersby.

“Yeah, where did I end up? That guy clearly used something against us, which led to this… I don’t even know if Maria is okay or not…” said Blue Neon.

He noticed that a lot of people were looking at the pier, some laughing, some smiling. He became curious to find out what was going on there and decided to go over and take a look. Blue Neon moved closer and slipped through the crowd, and was surprised by what he saw: on the sand at the pier, two Cardbots were having a race, and their friends were watching them. He didn’t understand who they were and was surprised by the robots, but it seemed like the people were calm and friendly toward them, so Blue Neon relaxed, thinking that it was peaceful here. But suddenly, someone tapped him on the shoulder.

“Calm down, it's me, Mega Track. What are you looking at... Oh! Look, they're having a race—it's funny...” Track laughs.

“You think that's funny, huh? You're just like always—you think everything unusual is funny,” Blue Neon asks.

“Sure, but I understand more here now, it's just... It'll be dark soon, and I don't know where we're going to spend the night...” Trek said thoughtfully.

“Right, we need to find a place to stay now. I don’t know, maybe they use a different currency here…?” Blue Neon wondered.

“Maybe I should ask if they can help us find a place to stay?” said Trek.

“Seriously, do you think just anyone would agree to that?” Blue Neon said gloomily.

“I’m going to try anyway!” said Trek.

They searched for a place to stay until evening, but they got tired and decided to sit down on a bench near the pier. They both sighed, feeling they couldn’t find a way out of the situation. But from a distance, a girl with auburn hair and a staff approached them.

“Why are you sitting here? At this hour, everyone’s already at home getting ready for bed,” the girl asked.

“Yeah, we’re not from around here and can’t find a hotel… What…” Blue Neon said shyly.

“What are your names? I’m Peruru,” Peruru introduced herself.

“My name is Blue Neon, and my friend’s name is Trek,” said Blue Neon.

“So, Blue Neon and Trek, would you like to spend the night at my place?” asked Peruru.

“Yes, we’d be happy to. Thank you so much,” said Blue Neon.

They went with Peruru to her house, and she put one to bed in the kitchen and the other in the living room. Then Peruru told Jun and Maria over the phone, and they were delighted to hear the news.

The Cardbot Poez Blasttrain was carrying Peru and Blue Neon, Treka, across the sea, creating a path. Train was very interested in the new passengers and asked a lot of questions. A lot of new information came to light.

“So because of Atlas, you ended up here with us, and now you can’t get home?” Train asked.

“Yes, Atlas wasn’t the only reason—our pleas didn’t work on him. He used something, and we’ve been here ever since,” Trek said.

“It happened because of his brothers. When they became friends with Maria, and one of the brothers tried to kill his older brother, he lost his temper,” said Blue Neon.

“So Maria took them away from him, and that’s why he lost his temper,” said Peruru.

“Attention passengers, we are arriving in Mountown. Please remain in your seats until the end of the trip,” said Blastrain.

Blastrain slowly pulled up to Ed’s car dealership, came to a complete stop, and let his passengers out. Jun walked over to the guests.

“Hi, I'm Jun,” said Jun.

“The very same Jun? I'm Track, by the way,” said Track, shaking his hand.

“Jun? I'm Blue Neon,” said Blue Neon.

“Yeah, I'm Jun, and this is Blue Cop,” said Jun.

“Nice to meet you,” said Blue Cop.

“Blue Neon! I'm glad you're okay!” said Maria.

“Let's talk about your problem; I, Crest, will help you,” said Crest.

“Thank you,” said Blue Neon.

Jun called over Cardbot’s other friends and introduced them to Maria. They settled down in front of the car dealership; some stood, some sat down, and Cardbot’s friends stood nearby, listening to their conversation.

Maria and the others told Cardbot all about their problems and that they needed to find the rest of their friends, Cardbot.

Cardbot Shadow X asked a question about Vergan Fai’s appearance, and Vergan Fai answered him.

“The stone on my forehead is the main difference; we’ve had it since birth. We’re born with a unique crystal; it shows our condition, and it also holds our weapon,” said Vergan Fai.

“Why was it a horn when we met?” asked Jun.

“I was very angry back then; when I’m angry, it grows into a horn, and when I die, it cracks and turns gray,” said Vergan Fai.

“Do you keep your weapons in the stone?” asked Theo.

“That's right, everyone has their own. I have a bulky sword, others might have a shield and a sword, and some have a gauntlet with lightning—everyone has different weapons,” said Vergan Fai.

“Wow, you guys are unusual,” said Cardbot Amber.

“Yeah, it's funny how they call you ‘CardPeople’—it sounds like ‘Cardbot,’ that's funny,” said Cardbot Mega Tracker.

“We'll find your friends,” said Cardbot Phoenix Fai.

Before the Cardbots met Maria and the others, June explained that they weren't allowed to use their real names, so they had to lie when they introduced themselves. Mega Amber called himself Enbes, Mega Tracker called himself Tracker, Felix Fai called himself Fenifai, Shadow X called himself X, Wild Guardy said Vergas, and Heavy Iron said Haron.

Their friends from another world have no idea that they lied to them about their names, and Jun suspects that Blue Neon and Trek aren’t just similar to Mega Tracker and Blue Cop, but are actually doppelgangers from another world—though he only has a “suspicion” about this.

Chapter 1: A Friend from Another World.

The final bell rang at Mounttown High School, and all the students began making a ruckus. Jun, a student, was getting ready to go home when his parents were planning to visit their friends across the green valley. They wanted to leave him home alone, of course, but not for the night, as they expected to return home in the evening, perhaps at night. Jun was told to clean up, wash, and tidy up the house before heading out with his friends. Jun was distracted by his friends Anna and Theo. They wondered how he would spend the day, and he told them everything, so they went home. His parents left him their keys and errands, his mother kissed him, and left. Jun suggested going to Ed's, as he'd called about a very unpleasant idea his friends had. Jun, Anna, and Theo were picked up by Cardbot's friend Blue Cop, who told him about the project Blaster Gwllon had started. His only concern was its safety. They arrived at Ed's car dealership. He was greeted by all his friends, including Ed, who looked on with an angry and worried expression. Ed explained that the project was a portal, supposedly for teleportation, located behind Ed's dealership. Everyone welcomed Jun, who had helped Blaster Gallon build the portal. He explained how it worked and what energy it used. Jun and his friends examined the portal like fellow Metal Cardbots. Blaster Gallon gathered everyone to announce the project's launch. He gave a welcoming speech, and with the push of a button, he launched the portal. It started off smoothly, but after a couple of minutes, it began to change color and a strong wind intensified, sucking in everything around it. Flute Z spread his wings and covered Phoenix File, Mega Ember, Heavy Iron covered Shadow X, Wild Guardian, Black Hook covered Buffalo Crash and Blaster Gallon, Mega Tracker, Blue Cop grabbed Anna and Theo, but when he grabbed him, he realized a strong wind had started to pull Jun inward and he couldn't grab him, he fell into the portal, and that eventually closed it. Everything stopped...

Jun lies unconscious on the pavement in an unknown location, but soon begins to move and regain consciousness...

"Where am I?" Jun blinks briefly, but the scene is blurry. He clutches his head and rises with difficulty.

"What is this place?" He began to see better and began to examine his surroundings.

"Is that a megascraper? Where are the voices?" Jun woke up completely. He sat on the floor and saw a multitude of megascrapers, shops, and a ton of banners all around him, but where he was lying was an alley between buildings. He ran toward the sound and saw what seemed to be many passersby, like a capital city. The street itself resembled a version of a future city with advanced technology.

Jun examined the people and noticed one peculiarity: they all had a stone on their foreheads, but each had their own unique stone. He walked down the street, noticing the unfamiliar language and signs, while passersby confused him about the time.

"Where did I end up in the future, or something!?" "June said worriedly.

At this time, a mysterious man on top of an open-air building looks down at the buildings, searching for what he needs, and aims a large gun on his shoulder at one of the publications.

"Yes, there you are, beast!" the mysterious man said joyfully. "Gotcha!"

And he fired at the building, causing its destruction, an earthquake, and panic. The crowd screamed and scattered wherever they could. June tried to escape, panicking, but he managed to escape the falling debris and concrete of the building by running around an alley and finding peace...

"What was that... What's going on here!? A theory or an attack, a murder?" Jun said, frightened.

"What was that... Could it really be an attack from an enemy empire? " said the high-ranking man.

"No, it seems it was the same man again," said his servant.

"Could it be again? He's clearly trying to start a civil war against me. He doesn't seem to want to obey me. That's why he's causing these disturbances. I'm fed up with him," said the man.

"Yes, but we can't arrest him. He's a very prominent figure in society. His detention will be impossible until there's evidence, and there's no proof of his complicity," said the servant.

"Okay, let's watch how things unfold," said the important man.

Jun walked down the street, looking at the rest areas, shops, and passersby. It seemed to be a shopping street. He noticed the intent gazes of passersby, looking at him with disdain or disgust.

"It's strange why they're looking at me like that. Is it because a child is walking alone on the street, or is there something wrong with me?" Jun thought.

He came to a playground, where a couple of children were already there. Discussing something, Jun decided to approach them, but when they turned to look at him, he saw the same aloof look.

"Hi, I'm Jun..." Jun said cautiously.

"Who are you anyway? You're kind of weird, let me see you?" one of the boys, clearly the oldest of them, slightly taller than Jun himself, responded curiously and boldly. He looked at his forehead and saw the stone was gone.

"Are you a stranger? What are you doing here? Don't you know they don't like to see you here, a human... Look, he doesn't have the stone, he's a human!" "— the Elder Boy said, mocking June.

"What kind of man is he? What kind of scum does that!" said one of the boys.

"Look, he's the only one here. Where's your mother, you idiot!" said the boy.

There were six boys, who started approaching him, clearly intending to beat him up and mock him. He started backing away, then stumbled and fell to the floor. He started getting scared and saying he shouldn't do that.

"Stop it!!!" said the boy sitting on the wall, watching the spectacle.

"Didn't they tell you that beatings and bullying like that aren't honorable! That's what cowards do!" said the Mysterious Boy.

"Who are you? It's none of your business. Get out of here!" said the Elder Boy of the gang.

"What! Are you so bold as to chase me away? You're a complete idiot, then who are you talking to?" the mysterious boy said.

"What! I'm Fetikov Shan! My father is a major businessman in this city, Fetikov Zharnar! So, know your place!" Shan said.

The seated boy started laughing and climbed down from the wall, walking toward them.

"Oh! Seriously, you're clearly an idiot!" the mysterious boy laughed.

"What... What's so funny about him being human? That means he's a nobody!" Shan said.

The mysterious boy abruptly stopped laughing and began looking him straight in the eyes with a big, scary smile, which gave Shan and his friends a feeling of danger and fear.

"Hey! Don't come near me! I'll tell my father everything. He'll punish you and your family and put you in jail, then you can beg me for help!" Shan began to stare. "Yeah, shut up already! I'm Atlas Mateus, nice to meet you!" she smiled slyly and laughed.

"You're from the Mateus family! You're not the eldest son!" Shan said in surprise, falling to the floor.

"Your father already owes our family so much money that I don't think it would be a bad thing for him to anger the Mateus, right?" Atlas said sarcastically.

Shan and his friends ran away in fear, then Atlas gave Jun his hand and picked up his land.

"Hello, I'm Jun..." Jun said shyly.

"As I said, Atlas Mateus. Nice to meet you," Atlas said calmly.

Atlas suggested they go to a nearby food stand. Jun examined his savior; he was dressed in a white shirt, black pants, dark gray hair, and bright yellow eyes. He also noticed that Atlas was a friendly guy, and clearly enjoyed a little excitement. He was a friendly guy, and clearly enjoyed a little excitement.

"Why did you decide to help me?" June asked.

"Huh? Why? It's just a matter of honor. I don't like beating up the weak. I prefer to stab the strong and pompous idiots who think they can do anything." Atlas laughed.

"So, where are we going?" Jun said.

"To the Chaitan stall, they make delicious food," Atlas said happily.

Atlas and Jun approached the open Chaitan stall, noticing the many tables occupied by people sharing and eating delicious dishes. Jun sat at a far table and waited for his friend, who brought him the dish he'd chosen and sat down next to him.

.......................

Jun and Atlas chatted at the table, snacking on the delicious food...

"So, you're supposedly from another world? It's unbelievable. You'd be considered stupid, such a difficult situation..." Atlas said thoughtfully.

"I'm telling the truth, my friends are waiting there, and my parents are probably worried..." Jun said sadly.

"I believe you, but it's hard to accept, yes... I don't know how to believe you, but maybe I should try Mirastin's artifacts," Atlas said.

"The Mirastin artifact, what does it do?" June asked.

"It can supposedly teleport anyone to other worlds, but... I don't know how it works. I've studied it, but I can't say for sure that it can send you to your world..." Atlas said.

"Come on, let's go to my place and then we'll try experimenting," Atlas said.

"Agreed!" June said triumphantly.

"My parents aren't that friendly, but rather arrogant people who only care about money and their reputation! But they're not home right now; only a nanny is there, just like I have two younger brothers," Atlas said.

June and Atlas approached the large house and went inside. They were greeted by the nanny, who was heading to the kitchen to prepare dinner.

"Let's go to the second floor, that's where my room is," Atlas said, taking June's hand. On the way they met a little boy of 5 years old, and then a sitting boy of 3 years old.

"This is Gal Mateus, the middle brother, and this is Cage, my youngest brother!" said Atlas.

He picked up the youngest brother, with black hair and green eyes, wearing a purple headband. He also took the hand of the middle brother, who had black hair and green eyes and wore a green and black suit.

"Let's go to my room!" said Atlas happily.

June noticed that Atlas loved his younger brothers very much and clearly cared for them deeply. He set them up in a room and sat them down with toys and fences. They began to study the Mirastin artifact.

Several weeks had passed since their meeting. They were conducting several experiments, hoping the artifact would help Jun return home. While they were using toys, paper, and stones, they were teleported to the neighboring garden, then to another place in the house, then onto the road. They were beginning to lose hope.

"It won't work. Maybe it's malfunctioning?" said June sadly.

"No, it looks like we're doing something wrong, or maybe we're missing a detail..." Atlas said thoughtfully.

"Maybe we should go for a walk? What do you say?" June said.

"I agree, I have something, even more so. Only better in the evening..." Atlas said.

That evening, Atlas led June up a small hill and sat down in an open clearing.

"Look, June," Atlas said.

June looked into the distance and saw a beautiful, lush evening, shimmering beautifully against the backdrop of small clouds.

"Beautiful!" June said, surprised.

Atlas and June lay down on the grass and gazed at the beautiful sky. They chatted about various things. June told them about his world, what happened there, what happened there, he told them about his friends, Anna and Theo, and how they met, but June didn't tell them about the Cardbots, thinking Atlas wouldn't believe him and would think he was a dreamer. Atlas talked about his arrogant parents, how they told him he should choose rich friends, which is the right thing to do, but unexpectedly, Atlas fell silent and raised his head slightly.

"June, you have a lot of friends; you're lucky, but I'm not," Atlas said sadly.

"I'm your friend," said June.

"Yeah... I'm glad you said that, you know... What if someone came into your life and took your friends, and then they went to be with you, what would happen then? Jealousy, resentment, or anger. How would you react to that?" Atlas asked anxiously.

Atlas spoke clearly, with a strange, serious expression, making June find it difficult to answer.

"If he wants to be friends with another friend, you shouldn't interfere with them. I think it's better to just be friends with him to understand him. Your friend can't be so easily forced to be friends against their will. That he will remain friends with you, even if he has a new friend, you should be glad that he found himself a friend." - said June.

"Maybe so... But if a friend feels jealousy and anger, then what should he do..." Atlas said.

Mateus abruptly grabbed his head with his hands, his eyes bulging, and began to tilt it downwards, screaming that his head hurt. At this moment, incomprehensible moments flashed through Atlas's mind, barely visible, obscured by noise, like an old television. He saw a figure yelling at someone, drawn to him, and even the blurry silhouette resembled Jun, but these were his thoughts. Atlas abruptly pulled away from these incomprehensible memories.

"Is everything okay? My head hurts. Should I call for help?" Jun asked anxiously.

"No, everything is fine. This has happened before, I'm used to it..." Atlas said wearily.

He suggested they return home; the next day, Atlas found a way out with the Artifact.

"I need to imagine your world!" Atlas said.

"Well, come on..." Jun said hesitantly.

Jun tried to imagine his team in the house, holding the artifact. He ended up opening a portal to Atlas's room, so much so that even he saw a room from another world.

"Hooray! This is my room!" Jun said joyfully.
