"Captain" Papa Zola's Spaceship;
Somewhere in space

CHARACTERS:
Boboiboy, Yaya, Gopal,
Ying, Ochobot, Bellbot,
Cattus, Papa Zola

As always, Papa Zola is in charge of driving his own scapeship. Eversince he was named "Captain" of the gang, a few changes have been made in the ship.

"Dey, Papa Zola," Gopal called from the table. He and his friends were sitting on the chairs, and were trying to pass the time.

For Gopal, ★Food is life and so, therefore, food is the perfect distraction.★

"Yes, my disciple of justice?"

"Why are there ten mini statues of you on the table?"

"Oh, that," he replied without turning back . "Those are just some limitted editions I've bought at Earth from a poor vendor. Aren't they all manly and fearless?"

Gopal looked back at the statues, which just consist of dead branches doing the PZ signature dab and a placard that says, "PAPA ZOLA." And, if you looked closely, there is already a colony of black ants residing in every piece of wood.

"Yeah, manly and fearless," Gopal sarcastically repeated as he flicked another black ant away from his bowl of sugar-coated banana chips.

"Hmm, I see," Boboiboy said as he was filled with today's agenda. "Our mission is to stop a little organization called KalaKisniss because they are illegally using power spheres, Atmobot and Chartisbot, for disrupting every sports game. Our plan of action is either to let them surrender or to stun them by suprise. Once we are in control the situation, we will confiscate the two power spheres and arrest the aliens for questioning."

He looked at the pink girl. "Did I got it right, Yaya?"

She nodded. "Remember also that Atmobot has the power of controling the weather, while Chartisbot can navigate any desired item, place or person. Both power spheres are disguised like any basketball, so we need to be more careful and always rely on Ochobot and Bellbot's sensors. Got it?"

"Clear as crystal," Boboiboy smiled. "Thank you for informing me, Yaya. I really owe you a big one."

Yaya's cheeks reddened as she waved her hands. "T-There's no need for that, Boboiboy. Besides I am just repaying you for saving us at all the time. You did more than what I could have expected."

Out of the blue, the hero grabbed his friend's hand and gently squeezed it.

"As long as it concerns to the safety of my friends," he said. "I will  always be there to protect them every step we all take."

Yaya's eyes widened at his actions and she quickly searched for a distraction above to stare instead. But, as she tried to find,  Boboiboy was thinking of the simlar thought and so their eyes magically met at the same time.

Brown manly eyes to brown sweet eyes.

And, between these five minutes of awkward but deeply sweet silence/connection...

They both realized...

That...

That they are—

TWWACK!!

A large black ant landed on Yaya's left cheek and instantly she screamed.

"What is this thing DOING HERE?!" she shrieked as she furiously brushed off the pesky insect.

"Uh, oh," Gopal muttered, his left hand frozen in a flicking gesture. "My bad..."

Apparently the fat green boy spotted that same ant munching 1/16 of his chips and he decided to get rid of it by flicking it away. Unfortunately, the ant landed on his most haunted friend, Yaya Yah, and...

Yaya saw Gopal's frozen hand and exploded, "YOU DID THIS, GOPAL?!!"

"N-n-no, Yaya," Gopal stuttered with fear. "I-it'sss not what you t-think it is..."

"I'LL GET YOU FOR THIS! HIYAH!!!" And, like a true Viking seeking for revenge, she chased the poor Gopal round and round in circles.

"AHHHH!! Boboiboy, HELP ME!!!" Gopal screamed with mercy.

However Boboiboy, having known Yaya for 4 years, decided not to take part of it.

"Heheh! Go, Gopal!" Papa Zola cheered. "Go! Run like the wind!"

"WAAAAHHHHHH!!!!" Gopal continued screaming. "MAMA!! PAPA!!...

WHERE ARE YOU WHEN I NEEDED YOU!!! WAAAHHHHHHH!!!!"

The odd pair went on and on, until Yaya was able to trip Gopal and grab his meaty body upside down.

"Gotcha!" Yaya triumphantly declared as she flew higher. "Now I will swing you forever 'til we get to our destination."

"NOOO!!!" Gopal tried to wriggle out from Yaya's grasp but her grip was far too strong than him.

But before Yaya could furiously swing him, Ying suddenly stood up from her seat, which made everyone look at her.

"Yaya, I found it!" she exclaimed as she held out a yellow note pad on her right hand.

The pink hijab girl suddenly turned back to normal and flew back to her childhood best friend.

But not before she dropped Gopal along the way, and so he fell to the floor. Face first.★*★*★*★*★*★*

"Owww... Help me..." Gopal weakly whispered, then fainted.

"What is it, Ying?" Yaya asked, ignoring the poor Gopal.

"This..." Ying said as she placed her yellow note pad on table where ants don't crawl.

Boboiboy and Yaya scrutinized for a moment...

"I know it's gibberish to your eyes, but I will explain what it means." Ying slowly said as she pulled out a red ballpen.

"Wait, you were trying to solve for 5862?" Yaya asked, but Ying was on a roll.

"As stated in the facts," she continued. "Captain Kaizo named the mission 'OPERATION 5862', which is a very odd name for a battle-hardened soldier. Why would he call a mission by numbers? It's not as if he can memorize all of his missions, starting from 1 to 5,862. So then I thought, what if this numbers are just a single code and it just needs some decryption."

"But, how?" Boboiboy asked. "How did you managed?"

"I tried a lot of cheat codes I've learned: the Caesar cipher, A1Z26, Morse code, Columnay key, Keyboard code, Enigma machine, eveything! I even tried to jot down some of Captain Kaizo's words and make it a real code breaker, but UGH!! my head keeps on spinning so I started to remember what did that captain saw four months ago. Something must've triggered him to say such a name."

"Hmm, I wonder what hangar did Captain Kaizo's scapeship landed in?" Boboiboy wondered aloud. "If we had known, we would have checked the place out and see if there is something different."

Yaya shook her head. "No, I have done my rounds for 3 weeks, checking all the hangars. But they are all identical: same bay doors, same supplies, same boxes—"

"And same keypads," Ying added.

"Yeah, and same—" Yaya stopped, then looked at Ying. "Wait, you think that Captain Kaizo formed a name from staring at the keypad."

Ying excitedly nodded. "It could only be that since all of the hangars' keypads are all shaped like a simple phone. Look..."

"Do you see what I mean? Once you get the letters from the numbers 5862, you'll have 'JKL', 'TUV', 'MNO', and 'ABC'. And, according to my findings, there are 9 nine possible names that Captain Kaizo thought of."

"Awesome, Ying," Boboiboy complimented with a thumbs up.

Yaya glanced back at the note pad. "But most of the words doesn't make any sense. If the answer was 'J T M A', what would it stand for?"

"That's another problem," Ying said. "I would like to know what it might stand for. I want to know what's really bugging Fang's lousy head, but my headache is getting a lot worse. I think my world is gonna swirl with letters and numbers."

"Do you want to rest for a while, Ying?" Yaya offered. "I could bring you to our mini bedroom, if you want."

Her friend slowly nodded. "Sure. Lead the way." Then she dozed off to her own dreamland.

Yaya sighed. "Gravity Lift."

Instantly Ying was surrounded by a pink orb and she was lifted off the ground.

"I can help, Yaya," Boboiboy offered too, but she shook her head.

"Nah, it's fine. I can manage," she politely said. "Besides, you still need to carry Gopal to your room. I doubt he won't last on the floor, given that the black ants might crawl inside his smelly mouth."

Boboiboy warmly laughed at the sudden careness of Yaya. Then a rare thought strucked him and made him frown a little.

"You know, if Fang were here at this very moment, he would've offered to carry Ying."

Yaya opened her mouth to argue, but then closed it and nodded. "Yeah, maybe you're right."

Silence again was filled, this time it wasn't as sweet as before. Both of them were concerned for their other friend, and neither knew the cause of his stress. It was as if Fang was better off without them.

"Well..." Yaya slowly said, almost whispering to herself. "I should be going now." And she started to bring Ying outside the electronic doors.

"Take care," Boboiboy softly baded. "My fare lily."

Yaya whirled at him with surprise. "Did you just me a lily?"

Oh, crap. She heard it! Boboiboy thought.

"N-no! I just said... 'Take care, 'My family.'" Boboiboy quickly lied. "I, um, regarded you and Ying as one of my family of friends."

"Oh, okay," Yaya said, then she walked out of the doors.

"Phew!!" Boboiboy sighed in relief. "Me and my horrible hormones. Now is not the time to reveal them."

He looked back at the sleeping Gopal and flexed his arms. "Well, I have some duty to complete. Boboiboy Lightning!"

Then he carried Gopal and ran off towards their own bedroom.

"Hmm... My disciples are growing taller..." Papa Zola murmured to himself, then quickly grabbed the bowl of banana chips and settled back to the driver's seat.

"...And even more sweeter than before. Heheheh!"
