The place was warm, almost too warm for Ty's taste. It made the blade's hilt slick in his hands. But then again, he was strongest when he was with Riku and Roxas, both Keyblade Bearers. He remembered the first fight he and his friends won, when they were in the Dragon Worlds. They used a Trinity Kingdom Blast, topped with Emily's Super Form. That helped them defeat Esau, a dark angel that Mephilis hired.

A hand brought him back to the present. Joe was looking at him, slightly worried. Joe had been his bud for the past four years, it did feel good to have Jade and Joe back.

"You okay?" Joe asked.

"Yeah." Ty answered. "Metal? You getting her signal?"

"I think so." Metal replied.

"What do you mean you think so?" Jade asked.

"There's…. two signals…" Metal replied. "They're surprisingly similar to each other."

"Which ones closer?" Ty asked.

Metal was quiet for a moment before pointing in a direction and heading down that way. Ty and the others followed, all hoping that it was Emily around the corner. Suddenly Solas stopped and sniffed. "That's not Em…"

"Then who-"

"WHOA!" Shouted a voice as a tall man in a brown suit, wild hair and a bow-tie runs into Metal, knocking both down.

"What on earth?!" Joe said, more as a reaction.

"More like "What on Las Tine." The man said standing up, straitening his suit and offering a hand to metal to help him up. "Sorry about that, in a bit of a hurry right now."

Metal took his hand and stood. "As are we. But you should be in hurry out of this place."

The man looked at Metal. Then leaned in closer. This made Metal tense and lean back. But the man smiled at him. "An android! Well this is a surprise! I haven't seen an android for a while now! But not one quite like you. Robot to Android right? Usually they're built as androids. You must have a very rich owner!"

"I belong to no one!" Metal told him.

"An android with independence!" The man said. "Fantastic! Absolutely fantastic!"

Metal's hands clenched. Seeing this, Ty stepped in and put a hand on Metal's shoulder. "Um sir, we need to help our friend. So if you excuse u-"

"Wait!" The man said, pointing at Ty. "You're Tyler Johnson!"

Ty stopped and looked at him. "Yeah?…. Why? And how do you know that?!"

"Em talked about you all the time!" The man said. "You my boy are a very lucky young ma-"

"YOU KNOW EM?" Everyone asked, crowding around the man. "Is she okay?! Where is she?! Do you know where she is?! Who are you?! What hap-"

"QUIET!" The man said, silencing everyone. "And they say I talk a lot. Now. Importance questions first. Yes I know Em, she's been traveling with me. She was when I last saw her, but I'm not really sure at the moment. I'm looking for her right now. Not entirely. And, I'm the Doctor. Em calls me Doc."

"Alright…" Metal said. "I can track her by her iPod. You can come with us if you're a friend."

The Doctor nodded.

Metal looked down a hallway, but looked confused.

"What's wrong Metal?" Solas asked.

"I'm not sure…" Metal said. "The signal from Emily's iPod is moving."
