In Lyos' room, Lyos and the 3 Bothyner Masters are playing action figures. Suddenly, Clara appeared trom the room door.

"Guys! It's the Slaboths!" Clara said.

"... Alright," Watra replied.

"We understand," Torna said.

"Well, we can't really guess when will they appear. Sometimes they show up tomorrow. Sometimes they appear the next month or two months later," Gileth said.

"Usually, they spread out to different places within the war zone to divert the attention of the Bothyner Lords and the Bothyner Masters. That way they can make some places unprotected. That's why we're here," Watra said.

"Yeah, you're right," Gileth said.

After that, the 3 Bothyner Masters guard the front yard of the house. After a while ...

"Look!" Watra said.

Watra is pointing in a direction. Gileth and Torna turn to the direction pointed. They saw 7 Slaboths being chased by 5 Bothyzards.

The Slaboths wear white mask with glass layer around their eyes. They also wear the same robe as the Bothyzards. However, the dark blue color is replaced with red color.

The Slaboths are carrying backpacks and sharp weapons such as swords, axes, spears, etc. 2 Slaboths are carrying an axe. 4 more Slaboths are carrying a sword. The last one is carrying a spear.

Each of the Bothyzards and the Slaboths is riding a Bothasus. They are putting their left hand on the Bothasuses' back to control those creatures. The distance between the Slaboths and the Bothyzards are quite long.

The Bothyzards unleash blue light balls from their right hand towards the Slaboths. The Slaboths could evade the attack by moving their Bothasuses to the side. After the Slaboths approached the 3 Bothyner Masters, Torna unleashes blue wind attack from her right hand. The blue wind has a scary face and it is letting out a roar.

"GRRRRAAAAA!!"

The Bothyzards are surprised and they stopped their movement. The Slaboths could evade the blue wind attack by getting off their Bothasuses.

The Slaboth's Bothasuses are scared of the attack and run away. The scary face of the blue wind unleashes duplicate blue wind attack from its mouth. The duplicate also has a roaring scary face.

"GRRRAAAAAAOOOOO!!"

After the duplicate attack appeared, the previous attack disappeared. The attack keeps duplicating for 10 times. 3 Slaboths got hit for 4 times. 2 Slaboths got hit for 6 times. The last 2 Slaboths got hit for 3 times. After that, the attack disappeared.

Gileth unleashes blue fire attack with a roaring scary face. 4 Slaboths got hit 3 times, and the last 3 Slaboths got hit 4 times.

Their robes are burned by blue flames because of Gileth's attack. The blue flames on their robes only lasts for 10 minutes.

"Those three are the Bothyner Masters! We don't have a chance against them! Run!!" one of the Slaboths said.

The Slaboths' Bothasuses have moved so far away, so the Slaboth's are running away without their Bothasuses.

"We'll take care of them!" one of the Bothyzards said.

The Bothyzards move again with their Bothasuses. 3 of them unleash blue light balls. The Slaboths jump around to evade the light balls. A few minutes later, the Bothyzards could keep up with the Slaboths.

A male Bothyzard unleashes blue fire attack from his right hand. A female Bothyzard unleashes blue thunder attack from her right hand.

The Slaboths got hit by the attacks. The Bothyzards control their Bothasuses to make the Slaboths surrounded by a circle of Bothasuses.

While riding Bothasuses, the Bothyzards keep attacking the with blue light balls, blue fire and blue thunder. The Slaboths also trying hard to defeat the Bothyzards. 2 Slaboths are using water attack, 3 Slaboths are using blue wind attack and 2 Slaboths are using blue thunder attack.

The Bothyzards can use their Bothasuses to move and dodge faster. In the end, the Slaboths are defeated. All the Bothyzards have survived.

A few moments later, the 3 Bothyner Masters saw 6 Bothytures heading towards them. 2 of them are called as Bothyghter, the most common type of Bothyture. It's the abbreviation of "Bothyner Fighter".

Bothyghter has human body with blue skin, no ears, light blue eyes without eyeballs, light blue claws, light blue sharp teeth and several light blue horns. There are 5 horns in its head, 2 horns in its shoulders, 2 horns in its elbows and 2 horns in its knees.

3 other Bothytures are called as Bothoblin. It's the abbreviation of "Bothyner Goblin". It has the appearance of little goblin with blue skin, light blue eyes without eyeballs, light blue claws, light blue sharp teeth and several light blue horns.

There are 3 horns in its head, 2 horns in its shoulders and 2 horns in its knees. The Bothoblins wield a light blue club as their weapons. The last Bothyture is called as Second Form Bothoblin. It is another version of Bothoblin with the same size of Bothygthter.

From her right hand, Watra unleashes water attack with a roaring scary face. The water attack could be duplicated for 10 times. It's strong enough to injure all the Bothytures.

The Second Form Bothoblin got hit for 5 times. 2 Bothoblins got hit for 6 times. The last Bothoblin got hit for 7 times. 2 Bothyghters got hit 9 times.

Watra unleashes the roaring water attack again. A Bothyghter got hit for once and died. Another Bothyghter got hit for twice and died. 2 Bothoblins got hit 4 times and died. The last Bothoblin got hit 2 times and died. The Second Form Bothoblin got hit 6 times and died.

"Who's next?" Watra said.

The 3 Bothyner Masters continue to protect Lyos' house. The Bothyzards continue to fight until all Bothytures are defeated and the remaining Slaboths run away from the village.

On June 9, 1986, in Gryllia Village, around 03.00 p.m. ...

In the back yard of his house, Lyos is throwing a soccer ball with Andark. They throw the ball at each other. At a certain moment, Andark caught the ball and talks to Lyos.

"How is your day in elementary school?"

Andark throws the ball and Lyos caught it.

"Well, I got many friends, so I enjoyed it, but ... there is a problem."

Lyos throws the ball and Andark caught it.

"What is your problem, kid?"

Andark throws the ball and Lyos caught it.

"Everytime I try to get along with my friends, they stay away from me. Maybe they're afraid of making me angry. They still want to be my friends, but I can't get along with them ...."

Lyos throws the ball and Andark caught it.

"Oh, I see .... That's because your emotion is still unstable. The Bothyzards are also on standby around your school. Try to get used to it."

Andark throws the ball and Lyos caught it.

"... Okay ..."

Suddenly, Clara appeared from the terrace of the house.

"Andark!" Clara yelled.

"Yes?" Andark replied.

"The Slaboths are coming!"

"... Alright," Andark said.

After that, Andark guards the front yard of the house. After standing for a while, he saw 7 Bothytures heading towards him. 4 of them are called as Botholf. It's the abbreviation of "Bothyner Wolf".

It looks like a wolf with blue fur, light blue eyes without eyeballs, blue tail, light blue claws, light blue sharp teeth and several light blue horns. There are 2 horns in its back and a horn in its forehead.

The other three are called as Bothyger. It's the abbreviation of "Bothyner Tiger. It has the same characteristic as Botholf, but it looks like a tiger instead of a wolf.

A Botholf jumps towards Andark, but he could dodge it. A Bothyger jumps towards Andark, but he dodged it.

Two Botholves jump towards Andark, but he could dodge again. Three Bothygers jump towards Andark. But he is still untouched.

Andark points his right hand towards his shadow on the ground. Blue veins come out from his right palm. The blue veins extended until they touched Andark's shadow.

His shadow turns into blue shadow. He could manipulate the blue shadow to make it shaped like a fist and attack the Bothytures. Andark keeps manipulating the blue shadow to attack until his enemies are defeated.

A few minutes later, Andark saw 4 Slaboths heading towards him. Each of them is riding a Bothasus. A Slaboth wields a sword. The other 2 Slaboths are carrying axes. The last Slaboth carries a spear.

Andark unleashes 4 needle-shaped blue shadows towards the Slaboths. The Slaboths are forced to get off their Bothasuses and prepare their weapons.

The Sword Slaboth coats his sword with blue thunder. The Axe Slaboths coat their axes with blue fire. The Spear Slaboth coats his spear with blue wind.

All of them attacked Andark with their weapons, but Andark could evade. Andark uses his needle-shaped blue shadows to strike them.

After landing a few attacks, the blue shadows grab their hands to make them fall to the ground. While they are still on the ground, Andark keeps attacking them with needle-shaped blue shadows until they are died.

Andark continues to protect Lyos' house until the situation calms down.

On September 4, 1986, in Gryllia Village, around 11.00 a.m. ...

Clara is sewing clothes in her room as usual. Suddenly, she hears someone's voice in her mind.

"Good morning, Mrs. Clara!"

Upon hearing that, Clara stopped working. She puts the index finger and the middle finger of her right hand on her head.

"Yes, Clara is here," Clara spoke in thought.

"This is from Gryllia Bothyzard Headquarters. The Slaboths are coming now!"

"What!? That can't be! My bodyguards aren't here!" Clara is panicked.

"What ...!? This isn't joke! ... Okay, leave it to us, then! It's our job to protect this village at any cost!"

"Can we just ask the Bothyner Lords for help!?"

"The Bothyner Lords are confronting the Illboth Supreme Leader and an Illboth Warlord in Maqmoor Village."

"Are there any Bothyner Masters left!?"

"The Earth Bothyner Master and the Light Ball Bothyner Master are confronting several Illboth Warlords in Levytatia Village. The other Bothyner Masters haven't come back from the Bothyture territory. Our enemies have diverted the attention of the Bothyner Lords and the Bothyner Masters as usual. We are the only hope to protect this village!"

"... Can I really depend on you?"

"Actually ... there are so many Slaboths attacking this village, but don't worry. We will call for reinforcements immediately. Now I must go. Excuse me, Mrs. Clara."

Clara lifts the index finger and the middle finger of her right hand from her head. Her face seems panicked.

In another part of Gryllia Village, on the street, some Bothyzards are confronting some Slaboths. A Slaboth slashes through the left chest of a Bothyzard with a sword coated with blue thunder. The Bothyzard is electrocuted and blood spurted from the incision scar he had on the left chest.

Another Slaboth cuts off another Bothyzard's right hand with an axe coated with blue fire. Blood spurted from the Bothyzard's severed arm and he felt burned too. Another Slaboth cuts off another Bothyzard's head with a two-handed sword coated with blue wind. The Bothyzard's head and body fell to the ground and he died.

In the living room of Lyos' house, there are Finor and Lyos. Finor is sitting on a chair and reading a newspaper. Lyos is sitting on a chair next to Finor and reading a children's magazine.

"Finor! Lyos! This is terrible!!" Clara said.

Finor and Lyos are surprised. Finor closes his newspaper and Lyos closes his magazine. They start looking at Clara.

"What is it, Clara?" Finor asked.

"The Slaboths have come to this village!! And we don't have bodyguards!!"

Finor and Lyos are shocked.

"... What do you mean ...? The Bothyzards around here will protect us, right?" Finor said.

"That's right ... but I feel safer if our bodyguards are here .... They aren't here now, so I'm so worried!"

"..." Lyos is speechless.

Finor puts his newspaper on the table. Lyos also puts his magazine on the table.

"Don't worry, Clara. We can get through this," Finor tried to calm her down.

"It's easy for you to say .... Those Bothyner Masters said that we can't always rely on luck, you remember ...?"

"..." Finor is speechless.

"What should we do ...?" Lyos asked.

Suddenly, Clara and Finor hear a voice from their mind.

"I can help."

Clara and Finor are shocked upon hearing it.

"What ...!? I can hear a voice ... in my mind ...?" Finor said.

"Finor, you can hear it too?" Clara asked.

"Yes ... but how ...?" Finor replied.

"What about you, Lyos?" Clara asked.

"What? What are you talking about, Mom? I don't hear anything!" Lyos replied.

The unknown voice is heard again inside Finor and Clara's head.

"Put the index finger and the middle finger of your right hand on your head. We will talk telepathically."

"Telepathy!? But I don't have Bothroller!" Finor said.

The family remained silent for a moment.

"... Looks like we have to do what he said," Clara said.

"Me too?" Lyos asked.

"No, just the two of us ..." Finor replied.

Finor and Clara put the index finger and the middle finger of their right hand on their head. They hear the mysterious voice again.

"I am the Light Ball Creature. People always call me as "TLBC"."

"You're TLBC?" Clara spoke in thought.

"Yes ... and I just gave you Bothroller, Finor. Now you can do telepathy and unleash your Bothyner as the Bothyzards always do." TLBC said.

"What ...? Okay ... I mean ... I'm grateful ... but, why?" Finor spoke in thought.

"Because I just give you chance to survive without your bodyguards. Nevertheless, the result is up to you," TLBC said.

"Oh ... Okay .... What kind of Bothyner that I have?" Finor spoke in thought.

"... You only have Strength Bothyner. You must do melee attack with it, but if you do it properly, you may win against the Slaboths. To unleash the Bothyner, just say "Strength Bothyner: Activate" with your mouth or say it in your mind. After that, blue aura will cover your body to strengthen it. To get rid of the blue aura, just say "Strength Bothyner: Deactivate"," TLBC explained.

"Okay, thank you," Finor spoke in thought.

"What about me?" Clara spoke in thought.

"I gave an additional Bothyner Core to you. It contains Strength Bothyner, just like Finor's Bothyner Core. After the Slaboths left the village, I will take back your power, and you should not complain, or else ..."

Suddenly, Finor and Clara's left hands are split in two.

"What!? Ugh ...!" Finor said.

"Aaaaagh ...!!" Clara said.

"Mom!! Dad!!" Lyos screamed.

Suddenly, Finor and Clara's severed left hands are reconnected.

"Huh?" Finor said.

"What?" Clara said.

"... What happened ...?" Lyos is confused.

"Now you understand what I'm capable of, right?" TLBC said.

"Y- yes," Finor spoke in thought.

"Now you don't have much time. Protect your house!" TLBC said.

"O- okay," Clara spoke in thought.

Clara and Finor lift the index finger and the middle finger of their right hand from their head.

To be continued.
