Daepi got up from her bed. She started and finished her morning routine quickly, even though it wasn't necessarily a routine, since the order of events changed every day. After that, she walked outside, sat on a bench, and picked up her minicomputer She opened it up and looked at the screen. On the display of the minicomputer an urgent-looking message popped up. At first glance, it looked like it was from Tenya Dirk. But after she skimmed it, she wasn't so sure about this assumption. So she clicked on it and read it slowly, just to check if it really was genuine. And she was right! It was from Tenya. That Tenya Dirk. Since there was only one Tenya Dirk that she knew. As her gold-colored eyes skimmed through the email, she started to cry. It really was him. He isn't dead at all. He's alive! What a miracle, Daepi thought. Wonderful, wonderful, wonderful!!!

Then she looked up from her minicomputer. Another fossil had landed. Smack dab in the middle of the field. What a day! I've got to tell 🅱 about this!

🅱 got up after Daepi told him that both Tenya was alive and that there was another fossil-like object that had arrived. He was happy for Daepi but he was also surely tired of these alien events that kept happening over and over again. But Daepi wasn't done with this alien stuff yet. So they went back outside. On the field, there was a rock embedded with tech. It looked about the same as Lon's back when he was in a fossil.

"Perhaps we should consult Shaggy and Nora about this?" Daepi asked. At the same time, she tried to hold back her excitement about Tenya. Her excitement was like an untamed beast in a cage with thick bars. Her focus on the fossil was the cage itself. The beast tried and tried to escape, but the cage bars were so thick and sturdy that they took all the hits and the beast had no escape.

🅱 agreed. Daepi left her property to tell Shaggy and Nora about this. She walked into their homespace and told them the whole story. After that, they came out of their homespace, equipped with video recording gear. When Shaggy was ready, Nora hit the record button on the camera. "Good morning viewers. Shaggy here. Today, I would like to ask, what is happening?" Shaggy asked. "It looks like another one of those fossils have landed on Earth. It looks shockingly similar to the one that Lon Von Ultron exploded out of."

"I think time is repeating itself. Or maybe it's another alien, but due to the chaos that occurred just yesterday, the first option seems more probable." Nora replied.

"I was in control of time, and I know I did not screw up and open up a warp or something. It's definitely the alien." Shaggy refuted, absolutely forgetting about what happened in the Apsirum fight.

"Don't be so sure, Shaggy. You may have screwed up unknowingly, unintentionally by accident." Nora rebutted.

"Oh yeah I did. I remember now... I unfroze time by mistake and then we all were screwed. Daepi and B remembered." Shaggy remembered.

"Yeah, I remembered. Lyrelle and B almost got eaten because of that. But then I saved them, which risked me getting eaten as well." Daepi stated. "I agree with Nora."

"If Nora's right, that means we're supposed to take it to the room to make a second Lon Von Ultron." Shaggy replied.

And so they did, while still recording the video. They walked to their homespace and then they headed over to the same room they observed the fossil in during the beginning of this whole alien paraphernalia.

All four of them were in the room. This room had never had this many people before, for it was somewhat small. Nora kept the recording gear in a fixed position and left it in its location. "It's time for us to examine!" Nora exclaimed. And so they did. But then Daepi discovered something interesting. "There's a button here. I'm not gonna press it but what does it do?" she asked.

"I think I know what it does," Shaggy replied, since he just remembered what happened in the beginning. "It makes the fossil explode and expose its insides. A similar fossil, the one with Lon, seemed to explode. We should press it, but at a distance."

Daepi left the room for a few minutes to grab an AI tool that pressed buttons. It was a simple tool. It had a small black box as a base that made it fixed. On top of the base there was a metal arm, like a human arm, that extended and contracted with joints placed on it. Wires were infused with the metal. On the tip of the arm there was a small stick made of plastic, that was used for touching. The machine was basically useless unless you wanted to interact with objects at a distance, since it was controlled by a remote with a single button. She juxtaposed it on the button of the fossil. "Everybody, leave the room! Once I press this button on the remote the AI is going to press the button on the fossil." Daepi yelled.

They all left the room. Shaggy shut off the switch and closed the door. Daepi pressed the button on her remote. Inside the room, a few beeps were heard. Then a loud noise was heard. The four could only hear these sounds faintly because of the door being slightly soundproof, but they still recognized it as the explosion. "I think it's safe to get in." Daepi admitted.

Shaggy opened the door and stepped in. There was a huge mess of smithereens of rock spread out, just like before. This time another Clippan came out. Was it Lon? I think so, everyone thought, as they all stared at the one lifeform on a table at the center of the room.

"Stay back, I'll handle this myself." Shaggy said. He was the only one who came into the room to take care of the Clippan. The Clippan, who had a strong resemblance to Lon, opened its eyes. "Hey," it said. "I'm looking for Lon Von Ultron."

"Who are you?" Shaggy asked, with skepticism and confusion shown in his face. Based from the sound of this Clippan's voice, which was unusually higher and more 'edgy' than Lon's, I don't think this is another Lon Von Ultron, he thought. But this Clippan sure looks a lot like him.

"I'm his mother."
