chapter 20
In the TAPOPS station...
Fang has arrived in the simulation training and meets with commander Kokoci and Captain Kaizo.
Kaizo asked, "Fang, are you ready?"
Fang stoically replied, "Yes captain."
Once they leave Fang to proceed with his training while they watch to test his skills, Kokoci orders the Mop alien to activate the simulation while Fang starts to raise his shadow powers to prepare himself.
A laser gun that comes out of the walls and starts firing lasers that's aiming for Fang where he easily dodges in enhanced reflexes and agility.
Next, a spinning saw comes out and it's coming towards Fang, only he evades them acrobatically.
After that, a combat robots and a swarm of flying drones are summoned to attack Fang. Which he started to take a form of a shadow tiger fusion and fend off the robots and drones. Until he single handedly destroyed every robots.
Kokoci congratulated Fang for accomplishing his training perfectly and declare this training to be over.
However, Fang claims that this training isn't enough and wants to continue. But this time, making it more intense than before. Kokoci tries to objects his request because he doesn't want to risk his own life from this, only Fang insist.
So the Kokoci reluctantly orders the mop alien to level up the simulation. Which more robots coming over for an attack.
While Fang shifts to another form, shadow wolf fusion, but to their surprise, he becomes more aggressive on destroying the robots, laser guns, and shattering the spinning saw to pieces.
But things become more intense, where Fang is overwhelmed by the horde of robots as he almost get mauled by them.
Kaizo, "Fang!"
Kokoci orders the mop alien to shut down the simulation, "shut it down right now!"
Before they would do that, they noticed something from the simulation as they see that the robots are suddenly pierced from the bottom.
To their surprise, a dark shadowy spike that came out from Fang's powers who uses to skewer them.
Both Kaizo and Kokoci became familiar with that technique, before resuming to watch Fang's training Where he continues to fend off the robots.
Then he uses his glasses to activate the intangibility power which allows the incoming gunfire to pass through him.
Once he deactivate the intangibility power, he makes another move. There's something coming out from Fang's back, a huge shadowy spider legs on his back as he uses it to destroy the laser guns and spinning saw, and rapidly destroy the robots.
Then, when another robot that's approaching Infront of him, Fang's spider legs vanished and activate the intangibility power where he runs towards to pass through the robot.
Once he's behind the robot, Fang's eyes are surrounded by a shadowy glow. Then he uses shadow powers to create something, which he forged a weapon, a shadow scythe. And use it to slice the robot in half. Fang continues to brutally destroy every robot.
Once there are no robot left, however, Fang goes insane as he senselessly destroy the robots even it already is.
Only Kaizo stop his brother who grab his arms, "that's enough Fang! You have done enough already!"
Once he calms down, Fang's eyes go back to normal. But gets lectured for his actions as he shouldn't lose himself, then asks why he lost control. Fang didn't say anything until he apologized for his actions and swears to never do it again. So they dismissed Fang where he left the simulation room.
They begin to discuss Fang's behavior upon watching his training, while seeing his technique was quite familiar. Only to realize that Fang was mimicking BoBoiBoy's dark power technique. Kaizo states that he did this so that he can honor BoBoiBoy after his... Death.
Recalling about the past makes both of them look down in shame. Expressing their guilt for their mistakes that led to BoBoiBoy's downfall. Which Kokoci swears to never make it again.
While they're also aware that everyone still have not gotten over their loss, but becomes more worried for Fang's behavior because of this. As his behavior has also affect his powers. Seeing how Fang started to lose himself from his powers, they fear that Fang might corrupt himself.
So Kaizo vows to keep Fang from losing control of his powers.

Meanwhile...
The ship of the Tentacle Hair pirates are in the middle of the ocean, while Eelin and the others are still tied over the outside of the railings where she struggles to free herself.
Meanwhile, Coco begins to come out from Sukar's belt pocket where it starts to climb over to the chains that are attached to the railings.
As the rest of the pirate members are losing their patient, until Clawd alerts everyone that he has spotted someone through the telescope. Which Calamarina snatched the telescope from him to see herself. She sees a person who is actually Jericho riding on a hoverboard to fly over the air, making her smirk and orders her subordinates to prepare for an attack.
As Jericho is searching for the others, he sees a pirate ship. But to his surprise, he sees his friends being hung over on the railings.
Realizing that they're held captive, Jericho approaches the ship to free them.
When he gets closer, Jericho notices Eelin who seems to be distressed, only to realize that she's trying to warn him about something since her mouth is covered by a cloth that keeps her from speaking.
Then, when he looks through the ship, there's an incoming gunfire, making him evade from being shot. Then he's about to reach the deck of the ship.
But Calamarina uses her tentacle to grab Jericho then pin him down to the deck.
"There's nowhere to run now!"
Once Calamarina's crew surrounded him where they drew out their swords at his face.
"Who the hell are you?! What have you done with my friends?!" Jericho demands on why they captured his friends while he is surprised from seeing a group of pirates that resembles a humanoid sea creatures.
"If you want your friends back, you'll have to hand me over something that you have." Said Calamarina.
"How would you know if I have something that you wanted from me? I don't even know you!"
"Oh, your friend told me that you have magic stones you have kept."
"Magic stones? What magic stones?" Jericho is confused on what they're talking about, not knowing what they're referring to.
Causing one of the crew members to recall about their first encounter when they were trying to chase after him under the sea. Much to his surprise, but becomes confused as he doesn't remember seeing them during the time when he tried to escape from the giant sea creatures under the sea. Wondering how they knew.
This makes Calamarina's crew to reveal themselves that they were the giant sea creatures that chased after him, as they have the ability to transform into one.
As Jericho becomes surprised from learning about the truth, they then recall the Magic Stones that Jericho has use against them so he could escape, like the water and seaweeds.
He realizes that they are referring to the water and leaf gems that he had found from the Hidden Island.
Calamarina asks if he took it from the treasure room. Jericho remembers from seeing the treasure room before locating the flower that they were seeking for. He then denies about taking any treasure since their only priority is to seek an antidote just to cure their friend from a dangerous disease.
Then they ask Jericho to show the magic stones as they want to see them. Only he simply refuses, swearing to never let anyone else use it for the wrong hands. Angering Calamarina and her crew much more and they threatened his own life if he won't let him hand them over.
But Jericho boldly said, "Go ahead! Do your worst! I would rather get myself beaten up than handing over the gems to you!"
Calamarina begins to make a sinister grin after receiving a response, "very well then..."
She begins to make her tentacle violently slam Jericho all over the ship, like on the ground, the cabin of the ship, and the pillar of the sail for a few times, wanting to see him in pain while her subordinates cheer for that and wants to make him beg for mercy.
She continues to torture Jericho until she stops, now seeing him completely bruised all over it. Then asks if he wants to beg for mercy by handing over the gems to them so she'll stop torturing him.
But Jericho didn't say anything but being in pain. So Calamarina decided to squeeze him to death, then they'll take his gems by force.
Once Calamarina's tentacle starts to squeeze Jericho much harder and he started to scream in pain. But then, the pain makes Jericho feel anxious because he felt like he experienced this kind of pain before, which triggers a flashback in his mind.
Where he becomes familiar about being wrapped up by some kind of tentacle then gets thrown over to the ground for several times. But becomes anguish about experience near death as Jericho becomes wary of remembering a few parts of his missing memories, like he is about to be squeezed to death by a tentacle which causes him to cough out blood.
However, he may have felt wary from remembering this horrific memory like he did before, but this also motivated himself. As Jericho regains his focus as he refuses to die like this as he doesn't want to break the promise for Lumi, and will not prove himself to be a burden to his friends as he must save them.
So Jericho struggles to reach the knife in his pocket while being wrapped up by the tentacle. Until he managed to get his knife and used to cut Calamarina's tentacle to free himself. Leaving Calamarina to scream in pain while Jericho falls on the floor. Only to see that the tentacle that was cut off starts to slowly regenerate.
This angers her subordinates and tries to shoot at Jericho, only he evades from the incoming gunfire where he runs in the other direction.
Then, Jericho approaches the cabin of the ship and begins to kick the door open so he can enter inside to hide, then closes the door and places the chair next to it so that the pirate won't go inside.
But when he no longer hears the sound of gunfire, Jericho tries to observe by listening through the walls of the cabin.
Suddenly... Something breaks through the wall, which is an arm that grabs Jericho by his neck and is forcefully drags out from the cabin where he's thrown in the ground of the deck.
Now that he's surrounded by Calamarina's crew once again. But when he sees the others being hangover outside from the railing, he stands up and approaches the railing in an attempt to free them.
But something that blocked his way. Which are large black spikes where it stabs on the floor that prevents Jericho. When he looks back, he sees Urchino who appears to have the ability to generate spikes that come out from his body and is about to shoot some more. Causing Jericho to run to avoid them once more.
Once Jericho approaches the cabin, he is then confronted by Diodon who attempts to corner him. As Jericho is thinking of something to defend himself, only he found a flintlock that is on the floor. So he grabs it and attempt to shoot him down. However Diodon begins to blow his stomach like a balloon which makes the bullets that Jericho shoots bounces back, causing them to shoot at Jericho instead while he duck.
Then, Diodon begins to jump and turn himself into a ball and grow out spikes where launched himself at Jericho. Only he dodges by jumping off away from the attack which Diodon ended up crashing through the walls.
Urchino resumes shooting more spikes at Jericho while he easily dodges once again. Then, Urchino begins to grow out three spikes out from both of his knuckles that look like claws and uses them to give a strike. Only when Jericho grabs a pair of spikes that was shot at and uses them to subdue the attack. Where Jericho blocks several strikes.
When he attempts to make another blow, Jericho then slides under Urchino to pass through him so he can strike him from the back. Only when Urchino starts to grow out longer spikes from his back which Jericho tries to stop himself from being skewered. Giving Urchino a chance to corner him by kicking his leg to make him fall on the floor. He then attempts to stab Jericho, only when he crawls backwards to evade it while Urchino continues to attempt to make another shot. Until he uses much more strength to give a blow, however, Jericho managed to avoid it. Leaving Urchino's both wrists to be stuck on the floor that the spikes stab on to it and struggles to remove it.
This gives Jericho a chance to escape from him, but then, Sela approaches towards him. Jericho tries to subdue her with the spikes, only Sela uses her strength where she slashes her hand to break the spikes in half.
Jericho moves backwards as Sela continues to approach towards him until he stumbles next to the pillar of the sail. As he thinks of a way to defend himself, Jericho brings out a knife and tries to defend himself from Sela, only she shows her razor sharp teeth and uses it to bite the blade of the knife and shatters to pieces. Then Sela attempts to give him a blow with her fist, but Jericho dodges from getting himself pummeled. Which leaves her to makes a hole on the pillar after punching it with her immense strength.
When Sela still attempts to chase after Jericho, he sees a long table with food. So went towards it to escape from the incoming attack where he used a food tray to slide across, knocking the food off from the table.
But Clawd went in front of the table waiting for Jericho to come over, only Jericho uses the same tray to knock over Clawd, which he's unable to stop as he's knocked over, throwing him against the floor. However, Clawd still stands up and is ready for more.
Jericho has to think fast. So he grabs something from the table like the plates and the chairs at Clawd, who easily counter it by using his claws to cut them to pieces.
Then, Jericho begins to sense another incoming attack. Which he dodges, (including Clawd), the attack that came from behind as it appears to be some sort of an electrical beam. When he turns around, Unazuma is standing right behind him and attempts to blast at him again.
But when Jericho tries to look for an escape, he noticed a rope that's over the sail. So he jump and grab the rope to swing over, in the right time to avoid the electrical blast.
He then swings towards the quarter deck of the ship and lands over. However, Jericho is confronted by Calamarina where he receives punches by her tentacles until he's thrown to the ground. Despite being brutally beaten, Jericho is still determined to face his enemies where he tries to stand up, no matter how much pain he receives.
However...
"Stop!" Calamarina shouted. Which halted Jericho. "Don't you ever think about it, or else..."
"Or else what?" Jericho tries to be cautious on what stunt she would do. Only when he noticed something from the railing.
Calamarina reveals her plan to shoot at his friends if he doesn't surrender, where Urchino and Unazuma will use their powers to threateningly shoot them. "If you want your friends back peacefully, you'll have to hand over the magic stones to me."
Jericho wasn't able to think of a way to rescue his friends. Although he refuses to allow anyone to have the gems for the wrong hands, but cannot let his friends be killed as they're threatened of their lives if he doesn't agree with their exchanges. So Jericho has no choice but to give her the gems, hoping to spare them. So he brought out two gems.
As Calamarina is about to get the gems, an air ship suddenly arrives above the pirate ship, which catches everyone's attention from this.
Once the door of the ship draws down to open, there's someone who jumps out and lands over the ship. Which is none other than Arak.
"Arak!" Jericho is thrilled to see him. Calamarina realizes that he's one of his allies and orders her crew to seize him.
They proceed to attack Arak while he subdues their attempts. He shows to have the ability to shoot web from his hands, like using it to trap Urchino and Unazuma.
Diodon turns himself into a ball with spikes and launches himself against Arak, while both Urchino and Unazuma free themselves from the web and proceed for an attack.
Arak starts to shoot a web to grab Diodon and uses him like a wrecking ball where he slams against Urchino and Unazuma.
As Arak continues to swing Diodon up in the air, Clawd launches himself and uses his claws to cut off the web to release Diodon.
Then Sela begins to launch herself against Arak, with the use of her sharp fin, she starts to spin herself like a buzz saw. So Arak tries to block the attack with his spider legs, which proves to be hard like a steel. Until he managed to push her off in full strength before Arak continues to fend off the rest of the members.
Urchino generates claw spikes in attempt to give a strike against him, while he acrobatically dodges before Arak gives him a blow with a kick.
When more are coming over, Arak evades them by using his web to swing away. But Unazuma uses his electrical power that makes himself faster to chase after him, where he jumps in an immense speed which manages to catch up to Arak and gives him a kick, making him crashed on the floor.
When the rest are charging towards him, Arak quickly stands up and continues to fend them off.
Then, he made himself to be chased by the pirates where he runs around the whole ship from top to bottom while avoiding their attacks. But makes a trail of web strings that he releases while running around. Also secretly sticks the web strings on each of the pirate members from their backs during the chase.
Once he stops as he's now at the center of the deck and being surrounded by the pirates as they started to charge against him, Arak begins to pull the web strings on his finger tips. Which all of the pirate members are suddenly pulled backwards by the web strings in super strength, causing them to be dragged all over the ship that was tangled up by it, while crashing into the obstacles. And then finally, all the web strings have brought all the pirate members together which converge towards each other, crashing into each other in great force.
Arak has defeat all the pirates, however, he sees Jericho being held hostage by Calamarina with her tentacles. She threatens to kill Jericho if he doesn't surrender himself. With no other choice upon seeing Jericho who is about to be squeezed to death by the tentacle, he obeys her orders.
Before Arak would turn himself in, Calamarina begins to take the gems from Jericho and takes a closer look.
"Hmmm... So you indeed told me the truth. The treasure we're seeking was supposed to be a medallion with a gem on it. This one looks nothing like it, and I never thought there would be another one like this." Said Calamarina as she noticed on the leaf gem. "But these stones do have interesting powers."
"You can take those stones as long as you don't hurt them. We swear to never come back for the stones. Now please let us go." Jericho is willing to surrender the stones to her, hoping she would spare her friends and leaving them alone.
However, Calamarina has something in her mind. Which Jericho sees Calamarina makes a menacing smirk on her face, "alright... I'll let you go..."
She literally throws him to the sea in an attempt to drown him.
But then, something has stopped Jericho from falling to the sea as he's surrounded by energy. When he looks back, he sees Magi who uses her magic (without her scepter) to grab him. Including the rest of Jericho's friends who are no longer tied up to the railings and are all conscious.
"Impossible! How did you manage to escape?" Calamarina is disbelief from her captors who had freed themselves.
"Oh, we got a little help from someone." Eelin respond. While there's something on top of her head, which turns out to be Coco, much to relieve Jericho as he had thought that his pet died from the sea but is actually with the others the whole time.
When Calamarina noticed what Jericho's pet was holding, which is the key for the anti-power chains. Much to her surprise as she realizes that CoCo has secretly taken the key without noticing anything so it can free them.
Furious, Calamarina uses her tentacles to strike against them. But Arak defends them by using spider legs to intervene while she continues to attack. This only gives Magi a chance to telekinetically snatch the gems back from her, and also drag Jericho back to the deck with the others before trapping her with webs.
With Arak's ship still floating above the pirate ship, they all jump to get onboard while helping each other to reach it.
Once everyone is in the ship and they're about to leave, Calamarina frees herself by spitting out ink that is like an acid that melt the web and stretches her tentacle to grab on the ship to stop them from leaving.
Jericho tries to intervene by using the water gem to manipulate the water to knock on the pirate ship. However...
"Jericho wait!" Eelin tries to stop him, but it's too late as he already summons a giant wave. Which flips Calamarina's ship upside down.
Eelin, "oh no... This is bad... Really bad... You shouldn't do that"
Jericho, "why? What's wrong?"
Eelin, "with Calamarina being thrown into the sea, that's how she turned herself into a giant size Squid!"
This shocks everyone from the warning, Which they look down to see. Something has burst out from the ocean. Everyone becomes shocked to see that Calamarina has transformed into a giant squid form.
She resumed to attack her enemies by summoning the rain clouds to create an overwhelming rainstorm to slow them down.
The group tries to escape as hard as they can, while struggling to survive from Calamarina's attacks. Like avoiding being grabbed by the tentacle, the lightning strike, and the ink shot.
Until lightning strikes on the ship, which causes the ship to malfunction and is about to fall down. Only Eelin quickly uses her power to repair the ship so they could resume their escape.
But when another shot of incoming ink, Magi uses her power to cast a forcefield all over the ship to protect themselves from the attack.
However, the wind becomes stronger which causes the ship, even on the forcefield, to push backwards. Which gets close to Calamarina as she's about to grab the ship.
Jericho uses the water gem to summon a giant wave against Calamarina, but she only passes through.
He has to think fast as she gets closer, until he notices on the raindrops since it was summoned which gives him an idea. Jericho tries to manipulate the rain to overwhelm Calamarina instead. Which it works as she's unable to get through from the strong rainstorm. Then Jericho uses the leaf gem to manipulate the seaweeds to hold her down. Giving them a chance to escape from her.
.
.
.
Now that everyone has escaped from the Tentacle Hair pirates, but before they would proceed to depart on this planet, the group must retrieve their belongings that were lost in the middle of the ocean when they first encounter Calamarina. But Yuri will use her power to locate them.
As everyone are recovering themselves, Eelin has explained the whole situation and why they were captured. Because they were accused to steal the treasure from the hidden island that causes a debris which results to destroy the treasure that the pirates were seeking for.
Jericho, "so you're saying that, the whole tunnel from the hidden island suddenly collapses because whenever someone would try to take a piece of treasure away from the treasure room?"
Eelin, "that's right."
Jericho, "But we're taking the blame for causing the debris that causes all the treasure to be destroyed in process, right?"
Sukar, "we never knew that there was someone else behind us."
Yuri, "but still... I wonder how the whole place suddenly collapses. Whether the treasure might be taken by accident, or... On purpose."
As they wonder what triggers the debris,
"Hmmm... Do you mean by this?" Mele spoke up as she had something to show.
When they looked at her, they became surprised by what they saw.
"Mele, is that..." Magi asked while she was stunned.
"Yup! It sure is!" Said Mele who is holding a large diamond.
"Did you secretly take the treasure without telling anyone..." Asked Arak who is not amused.
"Yup. My bad, Hahaha..." Mele admits it. Since it all happened after the gang gets the sample from the flower while they contact Mei, she secretly snatched the diamond from the treasure room as they were standing next to it.
She then laughs boisterously as she finds it hilarious. The others facepalm from her actions that led to consequences. But Jericho is more furious from learning who the culprit is while his right eye twitches.
"You... Idiot!!!"
Jericho "rewarded" her by comically punching Mele in the face. The punch she has received causes Mele to fall on the ground and her single tooth falls out. While the others are speechless from what they saw.
"Damn it! Do you have any idea how much I've been through?!" Jericho furiously calls out at the beaten Mele for disobeying their warning. "you put everyone in danger and I almost got myself killed from trying to save you all!"
Jericho is still angry for her actions while veins pop out from his forehead, Eelin tries to settle things down, "now, now. I know you have the right to be angry, but look on the bright side. Calamarina told me that they wanted the treasure to conquer the world. So, we kinda accidentally foil their scheme."
"*Sighs* I guess you have a point. If that wouldn't happen... The world would doom." Said Jericho while closing his eyes to calm down.
"So, it's all thanks to me, right?" Mele asked.
"However... You owe me big time. I already saved you guys for many times that almost cost my own life. Which I'm gonna keep this diamond that you stole." Jericho now confiscates the diamond from Mele as punishment.
While the rest just sweat drops from the scene.
"Yeah. I think you should get over your bad habits, sis." Magi lectures her sister.
"Alright, alright. That's enough everyone. Let's get your things back, then we'll leave this planet." Said Arak.
"You're right. Now that you're all safe, especially you, Coco. While the flower sample is with me, we should hurry before it's too late." Said Jericho. To which the others agree.
.
.
.
In the clinic room of Alphas Operators headquarters, the whole place is still on fire!
Mei, Felisa, and Liber are exhausted and they all ran out of fire extinguisher to put it out. While Lumi's body is still red by the fever, and is surrounded by fire.
Before they go to help her, the fire is suddenly wiped out. When they looked back, they saw Magi who uses her power to clear out the fire. Which they realize that Jericho's team had arrived in the clinic room.
"What's taking you so long? We tried to call you for-" Liber is cut off as Jericho's group rush towards Mei for Curebot, which she brought out from the closet that is safe from being burned from the fire.
"Hurry! There's only 30 seconds left." Said Jericho. Eelin rushes herself where she put all the flower sample inside Curebot then tries to activate it as fast as she could. After that, she approaches Lumi and uses Curebot on her which triggers a flash of light.
When the time from Jericho's watch has reached zero, they see they see her skin reverted back to normal as her fever seems to have vanished, which the fever will no longer set the room on fire, they try to check to make sure if she's okay. Liber uses his scanning power to check through, which he confirmed that there's no curse left on her body as she's cured, much to everyone's relief.
"By the way... What's taking so long? And what happened to you guys? You look awful." Felisa asked.
"Oh. It's a bit complicated to explain..." Said Jericho, while he and the others give a glare at Mele.
Before they would explain what happened, they noticed that Lumi started waking up. So they all approach her to see if she's alright.
Once Lumi slowly opens her eyes, she sees her friends who are all worried for her.
Jericho, "Lumi, how are you feeling?"
Lumi, "I think... I'm okay... What happened?"
Yuri, "Nefertine has put a spell on you that would cause your own life."
Lumi, "you mean I almost die from that spell?"
Sukar, "don't worry, we managed to get rid of that curse. So you're gonna be okay."
Lumi, "but... What happened to you all? It's like you went out for an adventure."
Eelin, "it's a long story..."
When Lumi started to look at Jericho, she was surprised to see him whose state is worse than the others, where he has torn clothes and has wounds. "Jericho, you look terrible. What happened to you?"
Jericho, "it's a bit complicated to explain how we get to activate Curebot that can get rid of that curse. But there's nothing to worry about it."
He tries to reassure her, only Lumi starts to feel upset as her friends risk their lives just to save her. But they nearly cause their own lives.
"I'm sorry everyone. I appreciate everything for saving me. But look at you. You all did everything for me, while I did nothing but being so helpless..." Lumi gives a sad look at Jericho. "I'm sorry Jericho. I swore to make promises on not to be a burden to you. But I couldn't..."
"You don't have to say something like that. You just want to protect me from Nefertine." Jericho tries to reassure again.
"But your sacrifice is much more painful. Just like you protect me from Mercury, which you got yourself hurt... Now you look awful because of me, again!"
Lumi felt really bad as she thinks she's causing trouble to the others.
Before the rest would say anything, Jericho started to approach Lumi where he put his right hand on her shoulder, and leaned closer to her face as he had something in his mind to tell her.
"It doesn't matter Lumi. Sometimes, it's not very easy to keep promises. But I do have something I want to tell you. Even though I have amnesia that I don't know who I am, nor my past, I do have a feeling that I also have a hard time keeping promises for others. Which I try to improve myself better because I thought I'm not good enough for them. But, I also have a feeling that someone has told me something that it's fine to be selfless to help people out. But it's not okay to do things on my own. Which I realized that I can't be too selfless because I would neglect my own well being. But it's still quite selfish of me to do something without anyone helping me."
Lumi, including the others, are stunned from listening to Jericho's speech.
"Also want to say, thank you. Thank you for helping me out, and being there for me. And I'm much more relieved to see you okay. You help me so much, and I want to repay it. Thank you."
Lumi is flattered by his gratitude, and the rest are proud.
Before she would say anything to him, someone had entered the clinic room.
"Jericho!"
When they look to see who has called his name, they are surprised to see that it is none other than Lee-yu, who wears a new outfit.
Jericho, "Lee-yu?"
Lee-yu, "You're all back! I'm so happy! So what did I miss? How's Lumi right now?"
Lumi, "oh I'm feeling okay now. Everyone did their best to help me."
Lee-yu, "I'm glad you're okay. What a relief."
Jericho, "hmmm... I see you have new clothes that you're wearing"
Lee-yu, "yup. Isn't it cute? Even my hair became cuter.
Mele, "so where were you while we're away?"
Mei, "oh I gave her time to explore the Alphas academy. Even I gave her nicer clothes."
Lee-yu, "I just wanted to be a part of wherever Jericho goes."
Jericho sweat drops, "right..."
Lee-yu, "but everywhere I go is so interesting that I want to experience it, and being a specialist is so cool!"
Jericho, "yes. It is cool."
Lee-yu, "but I'm more happy to see you return!"
So she gave him a hug out of affection. While Jericho only stoically pats her gently.
Seeing this makes Lumi pouted childishly. She felt neglected already in a few seconds, as everyone was worried for her a moment ago.
Meanwhile, Arak has entered the clinic to see the others. Which Liber is the first to look at the back to see who came inside. But when he sees the sight of the person he becomes surprised to see him.
"*Gasp!* Ara-" but Liber quickly covers his mouth to keep himself from speaking out loud.
Only to gain Arak attention from him. "Huh? Did you say something, kid?"
"Oh... Ummm... Nothing..." Liber responds and tries to avoid making contacts with him.
"Oh, Arak. You're here." Jericho notices that Arak came in.
"Who's that?" Lumi asked.
"He's from Betas Operators. And he helped us out." Jericho replied.
"I'm glad you save your friend. I guess my work here is done. I'll be going now. It's nice knowing you all." Said Arak who is about to leave.
"Wait! Don't go!" Liber suddenly stops him where he grabs his hand.
Arak is startled, while he notices the boy who hasn't said anything for a moment. Until he says, "it's nice knowing you, and... Thank you for helping them."
Which Arak calmly says, "it's no big deal. Now I must go back to Betas Operators headquarters. So, see you."
Everyone waves Arak goodbye, while Liber watches him leaving in silence. Making the others wonder what he's thinking. Only Liber denies it, claiming he's only daydreaming. Then decided to leave to return to his own headquarters as well. Bidding everyone a farewell and is thanked for helping out.
With their new friends departing, Lumi decided to return the favor as Jericho needed treatment from his wounds during their adventures. To which Jericho accepted.
