There was nothing but silence… As the universe came back anew, two beings were found alongside each other.
“Again… Everyone disappeared again…” One of them cried out, unlike every other time however, he saw someone beside him.
“...Um, Naheeno…? What is this…?” He asked with a sense of confusion.
----------------------------------------
“B-Bmon?! How are you here…? This is the in-between, it's what happens after my sunglasses-” Naheeno froze realizing he had not explained his curse to Bmon yet.
“Your sunglasses…? Aren't they just a pair of shades?” He asked skeptically.
“...My sunglasses, they're way more powerful than just blocking the sun… They can destroy the universe if they ever fall off, and as you can see…” He explained while wiping the tears from his eyes.
----------------------------------------
“Oh shit…” Bmon's eyes widened, followed by immediate distress as he suddenly screamed in pain as the space distorted around them.
“B-Bmon?! What's wrong!?” He reached out to see if he was okay.
“I-I remember… Everything…” Bmon exclaimed.
“E-Everything? You shouldn't remember though… How are you able to remember?” Naheeno looked shocked, never during any of the previous iterations of the universe, had anyone remembered what happened before.
----------------------------------------
“I-I don't know but… This means I can help you right…? You're not the only one who remembers what happened now…” He looked at Naheeno with a sense of fear.
Naheeno nervously smiled, however his look changed whenever he saw something standing behind Bmon. “W-What is that…?”
Bmon turned around, only to see a distortion in the darkness. “...Yeah I don't know what that is, however it doesn't look like it's happy to see us.”
----------------------------------------
It took a human form. “You may call me… Glitchun, I'm sure we will see eachother again, but just know this, Bmon. I will make your life a living hell.” It glared at Bmon before vanishing.
“W-What the hell was that? Was that also a result of your sunglasses?” He questioned.
“N-No… I've never seen that before, so maybe it has to do with you being able to remember everything…” Naheeno suddenly realized that it was almost time for the universe to begin again.
----------------------------------------
“Bmon, in a few moments the universe will begin again. You'll probably have a similar experience to what you had when you remembered the previous iterations of our universe. I think it'll give us all of our memories of this new universe up until we are 16, when we will be placed in the world like nothing ever happened.” Naheeno explained.

----------------------------------------
“Wait, slow down, that made no s-” Both of them started to yell out in pain as they were sent into the new iteration of the universe.
Archived Dystopia. This city was founded by Fukumoto Dan and Fukumoto Himari. It was August 14th, 2024. This city was well known for its creepy feeling, honestly it seemed as if the very city watched you as you moved around.
Bmon snapped back into reality after having his memories modified by the sunglasses. “H-Holy shit, I don't ever wanna do that ever again…” He glanced at the room he was in, it was filled with merchandise of various franchises as well as a shelf filled with manga and anime.
----------------------------------------
“...I guess my tastes don't change that much.” He said as he heard his phone ring from inside his pocket, he picked it up and answered it. “Yo, who is this?”
“I'm assuming that means you're perfectly fine?” Naheeno asked.
“Yeah I'm fine but what the hell is up with this city? From what I gathered from the memories we were given, it looks absolutely horrifying.”
----------------------------------------
“That, I don't really know… It seems however that it was founded by your parents.” Naheeno explained.
“Yeah I don't know what was up with that… in the prior universe I didn't even know my family… I just had Buster as a guardian, but it seems he is here as well.”
“It also seems like we are the only ones in this iteration who are from the previous iterations, I don't think we met any of our friends in this world.” Bmon told him.
----------------------------------------
“Well… I guess that might be related to why you remember the previous iterations, Bmon. Regardless, I will keep you updated on what I find out in this new world but I'm tired, so I'm gonna go play a nice rhythm game.”
“Sure… See you then, Naheeno.” Bmon hung up just as Buster came in. “Hey, Bmon? Do you have any ideas for what we should do with the girl you brought over the other day who claimed they were a swordswoman from the past?” He asked.
“...I don't like the way you worded that, who are you talking about anyway?” Bmon questioned, he still hadn't fully grasped all of his memories of this world yet.
----------------------------------------
“Y'know… Kana, the one you came with and asked for a translation device to translate her language?”
“Oh… I-I don't know, why don't we just let her stay here?” Bmon asked.
“Well, if that's what you want I'm sure Himari has no issues with it, I'll be making food in the kitchen.” Buster left to go to the kitchen.
----------------------------------------
“This world is really REALLY weird.” Bmon told himself. He walked out of his room and very quickly noticed that the house he was in was absolutely massive. It had 8 bedrooms, 4 bathrooms, and just about every appliance you would need.
The walls were covered in vibrant paintings drawn by a painter who lives in Archived Dystopia. “Wow… Didn't think we knew a painter.” He walked out of the house and started going toward the city.
As he stepped into the city, he felt an odd aura surrounding him. “Bmon!” Someone shouted at him. It was Daisuke, his childhood friend.
----------------------------------------
“Oh, hey Daisuke.” Bmon said. Daisuke walked up to him. “I heard you found a… time traveller?” He questioned skeptically.
“Yeah. I don't… know too much about her, but she seemed to be from 200 years in the past, and she happened to be a swordswoman.” Bmon explained.
“Woah, that's cool. By the way, wanna head to school with me?” He asked.
----------------------------------------
“Shit… I forgot we had school.”
“It was summer when the world was recreated after all.” He thought to himself.
They spotted a girl standing behind a lamp post. “Yo, Ayame, wanna come to school with us?” Daisuke asked.
Ayame blushed before answering in a slight panic. “I-I u-um… sure…” She walked up to them before glancing at Bmon, Bmon noticed her looking at him but he brushed it off.
----------------------------------------
“L-Let's go to school…” She said softly. As they walked towards the school, Bmon glanced at the creepy architecture of Archived Dystopia before noticing something on top of a rooftop.
It was a MONSTER. In every sense of the word, Bmon had a moment of panic before speaking. “U-Um, guys what the hell is that?” He pointed at where he had seen the monster, but when he looked back, it was gone.
“Bmon, I think you're hallucinating… Can't say I blame you though after all, this city can get scary at night.”
----------------------------------------
“Y-You're probably right. L-Let's just go to school.” They started walking again toward the school, Ayame glanced at Bmon every now and then, worried that he may not be okay.
Meanwhile, Kana came back from shopping at Kaito's Rarities. “Huh? Is Bmon not here?” She asked Buster.
“Oh, no. He went to school I think.” He told her. “Aww… And here I got him a present from Kaito's Rarities…” She held out what looked like an emerald.
“...Is that what you give friends in your time period? Maybe you shouldn't give him that I think he would react in a way different from what you're expecting.” Buster told her.
“Oh…” Kana put it back in her bag.
