3rd person POV:

It took some time, but eventually, Yn and Luna found themselves in a large room with the technology they recognized.

Looking around, they noticed that this room was some type of hub area. A mix of business and pleasure.

In one corner was a couch with a tv set up and right behind it a kitchen-like area.

On the opposite side, was what Yn knew to be a Gear piloting simulation station, the same type that he had in the academy. That side was also possed some type of messy workstation with little gizmos covering it.

And at the opposite side of the room from which they entered, was a large computer.

Luna: The computer. quick.

Scurring in front of it, they saw several monitors showing several areas of the complex, including the arena they were previously in.

Yn: So they were watching us...

Luna: What is this place?

Luna: Everything about it just confuses me.

Yn: No kidding...

Yn: Huh?

Yn:!

Luna: What is it- huh?!

On one of the monitors, they saw Solas and Lunas being repaired in some type of station.

Yn: They're fixing them? Ha! Idiots, make everything easier on us.

Luna: The only problem is, we don't know how to get there. Let's see if this place has any maps.

She begins work on the computer to find a map.

(Flush)

Yn/Luna:!?

Turning around, they raised their fists at a child who exits a bathroom door they previously failed to notice.

(Conner Nexel)

Luna: A child?

The two lower the fist, as the child grows a large joyful smile at the sight of the two of them.

Conner: You're here!

He runs towards the two who look at one another confused.

Yn/Luna: Do you know him?

Conner leaps towards Yn and tackles him into a hug, accidentally headbutting Yn in the stomach.

Yn:(grunts)

Yn: Oi! What's you're problem!?

The strange child looks up at Yn while not letting go of him.

Conner: Hi! I'm Conner! What's your name?

Conner: Are you a new uncle or brother?

Conner:!

Conner: Are you, my cousin?

Yn: I seriously doubt that we're related, kid!

Luna: How do you know? You're an orphan.

Yn: Oh, thanks for reminding me!

Luna: Sorry, Yn.

Conner: Yn is your name? Cool!

He leaps off of him and towards Luna who catches the boy.

Conner: So what's your name?

Luna: I am Luna. Conner, was it?

Conner: Yes!

Luna: Do you know how to get us to them?

She points at the monitor showing Solas and Lunas.

Yn: Ohhh... Good idea.

Conner: You want to see my big brothers?

Yn/Luna: Brothers...?

Luna: Uh. Y-yes, we want to see your brothers.

Conner: I can't... Daddy told me not to bother them until they're all fixed up.

Yn: Daddy, who's your daddy?

???: That would be me.

Turning towards the entrance, the three see the father of the child.

Conner: Daddy!

Leaping off Luna, the child runs up to his father.

Yn: And who in the universe are you!?

???: Don't recognize me? Guess I did switch bodies for convenience...

???: Maybe this will jog your memory... Get out.

Yn/Luna:!!

Luna: Azrexel...?

Azrexel: In the synthetic flesh... But in this body, I go by Rex.

He picks up his child.

(Azrexel's pajamas: Rex Nexel)

Yn: I don't get it! Why are you in that body!?

Rex: Do you know how hard it is to change a baby's diaper as a giant robot?

Luna: That just raises more questions! How do you have a child!?

Rex: Long story...

Yn: Well you can tell us after I kick your synthetic butt!

Conner: Don't do it! Daddy's unbeatable!

Yn: We'll see about that!

Rex: Kid... You don't stand a chance.

Luna: He's right, that body might look human, but I bet it's easily stronger than any normal person.

Yn: Really? Maybe slightly stronger than average, but if he really got that body to raise the kid, then why would it be super strong?

Luna: Good point...

Yn: Last chance you haunted human wannabe! Give us back our gears before things get ugly.

Rex: There are two reasons I took them... One, they needed repairs. Two...

Rex: You don't deserve them.

Yn/Luna:(glare)

Yn: Don't deserve them...?

Yn: Maybe that's true...maybe we are the last people who should have them...

Yn: But I'm not going to let some old bot like you decide that!

Sucking up the pain from his fight with Luna, Yn makes a mad dash towards Azrexel.

Yn: HIYA!

The legendary gear in human clothing steps aside. Yn was about to use his corkscrew ax kick technique on him but before he knew it, he was in the air after getting punched by a third party.

Luna:!?

Yn crashed into the floor.

Luna: Yn!

Yn: Ugg...agh...!

Getting back to his feet, the two saw the culprit.

(Omega's uniform: Omega)

Omega: He's still conscious... Fascinating.

Yn: Fascinating!? I'll show you two!

Rex: It's five.

The other three then arrived.

(Stegael's garments: Steg)

(Velocriel's dress: V)

(Tribriel's outfit: Briel)

Rex: Still want to fight?

Yn: Tch...!

Luna:...

Luna: Your numbers don't matter.

Everyone:?

Luna: If we must fight you, then we will.

Luna: For those gears that you are denying us, are the ones that entrusted us with using their power.

Luna: Not doing everything in our power to get them back would betray that trust.

Luna: My heart aches in rage at the mere thought of not fighting you all.

Yn: She's right... Solas and Lunas put us through the wringer and we came out winners.

Yn: Despite your service in the past, we're going to kick your ass, and scrap you for spare parts!

Yn: With this soul that burns bright with passion, I swear I will defeat you!

The five legendary link gears in human clothing take up a fighting stance before each receiving a large smack against the head.

(Smack)

Omega: Ugh!

(Smack)

Steg: Hey!

(Smack)

V: Agh!

(Smack)

Briel: Ugh...

(SMACK)

Rex:.....

Yn/Luna:?

A woman then walks out from behind them.

Conner: Mommy!

The kid jumps into his mother's arms.

Aibella: You battle-hungry idiots! I told you to help me get the Nexium, not leave to do it myself!!

Aibella: Like, hello?! You are the ones with giant bodies that can deadlift a battleship!

Yn: Aibella!?

Rex:... Welcome home.

Aibella: Welcome home what?

Rex: Welcome home Aiba.

The king walks to the couch as his siblings go finish the work they left Aibella to do.

Aibella: That's not what I meant you anti-social jerk.

She turns to Yn and Luna.

Aibella: Forgive my husband, he's nice to the ones he cares about.

Luna: Husband? You are aware that's a Gear in disguise?

Aibella: I am. He is.

Yn: Then... Why...?

Aibella: We have a lot to talk about.

Aibella: Guess, I should re-introduce myself.

Putting her child down, she poses.

Aibella: I am the artificial intelligence made by the one and only Tony Nexstar, known as Aiba Nexstar!

Aibella: But now I go by Aibella Nexel

(AI agent: Aibella Nexel)

Yn:..... Eh?
