Boboiboy entered the stone box, and suddenly the hole covered with the earth wall. The darkness inside then was illuminated by dim light of the crystals embedded in the wall inside the box. A small platform made of stone was located at the middle of the box. Boboiboy touched one of the crystals in amazement. The same computerised voice startled him as it spoke.

"Welcome, elemental user. Please put your hands on the platform to confirm your elemental power."

Boboiboy put his hands, palm opened, on the small platform.

"Scan completed. Elemental powers detected, Earth, Lightning, Wind, Fire, Water, Leaf and Light."

Boboiboy quickly pulled his hands back as the platform suddenly splits into two, and a small black sphere ball was emerged. Boboiboy inspected the sphere ball and realized that it has the same shaped as Ochobot. "A power sphere?!"

Just as Boboiboy want to touch the sphere, several voices were heard, echoed in the stone box.

'Interesting...A young elemental user.' A voice echoed, with an air of authoritative.

'Not just any elemental user, he's the wielder of all seven elemental powers.' Another voice echoed, this one sounds observant.

'Judging by the commotion outside, he must be a virtuous fellow.' Another voice, this one sounds collected.

Boboiboy looked around but he can't find anyone or devices that emitted the voices. "Who's there?!"

'My, my...what a brave little one. A fine attribute to wield the elemental powers.' Another voice, this time sounds playful.

'Don't tease the boy, it's not easy to wield all seven elemental powers at once.' A kind voice echoed.

'He looks fragile...like he's about to fall over.' A timid voice echoed.

'He looks weak for a wielder of all seven elemental powers.' A gruff voice echoed.

Boboiboy looked around as he spoke, "Are you...the one called Nadhogg?"

'Nad- what?!' The gruff voice exclaimed in confusion.

'Nadhogg? Oh, you mean that.' The observant voice.

"That?"

Another voice echoed, the timid one spoke, 'Um, the one on the platform.'

Boboiboy looked at the sphere ball in confusion. "This is the ancient weapon?"

'Weapon you say?!' The gruff voice growled. Suddenly the other voices exploded in echoes.

'How outrages!'

'Unacceptable!'

'This is all your fault! I told you leaving a riddle like that will confuse people! Now they think of it as a weapon!'

'My fault?! What about you?! You are the one bla...bla...bla...'

At this point, the voices shouted in rage and echoed intangible words. Boboiboy hissed in pain as the splitting headache in his head returned, intensified with the force of echoed voices.

'Silence!'

Suddenly the authoritative voice spoke, effectively shushed the raging echoes. Boboiboy also blinked his eyes in relief as the pain on his head subsided immediately after the voices went silent.

'Seriously, after centuries, bickering like a bunch of children! Remember who is with us today!'

Murmurs of apologies were heard as the authoritative voice addressed Boboiboy. 'I apologize on behalf of my colleagues. Without furthur ado, what is your name, young one?'

"My name is Boboiboy."

'Alright Young Boboiboy, why do your wish to unseal this box? You wish to use Nadhogg to gain more power?'

"Actually...I am not the one who unsealed it...and I came here to seal it back. I don't want any power."

'No? You don't wish for power?'

"No. So, how can I seal it back?"

'I think he is the perfect candidate to wield that power.' The observant voice said.

"What?" Boboiboy looks surprised as the other voices murmured in agreement. "Wait! I don't want any power! I just want to seal Nadhogg back!"

The voices completely ignored Boboiboy's cries of refusal as they spoke to each other.

'Yeah, he did wield all seven elemental powers and the galaxy hasn't been destroyed yet so maybe he can use it for good cause.'

'He's still young though...'

'We should ask him first...'

The voices then quieted down as the authoritative voice addressed Boboiboy once again, 'Young one, would you like to accept another responsibility, to wield another power?'

"But, I just want to seal Nadhogg." Boboiboy repeated his objective. I just want to finish this and get out...

The observant voice went silent for a while before it spoke, 'Do you know why Nadhogg was sealed in the first place?'

"Because it went amok and almost destroyed a planet. The elemental users tried to destroyed it at first, but it contained too much power, destroying it would destroy the planet, so it was sealed," Boboiboy answered, Tanah already told him the story.

'True, but it was also sealed to protect it from those who wish to misuse it. You see, Nadhogg once was a collector device, it collected various types of energy. It can also synthesize the energies collected and convert them into powers, the same powers that the power spheres possess. However, there was one time when Nadhogg converted a very rare power, the power to control technologies called technokinesis.'

Boboiboy narrowed his eyes as he thinking loudly, "That means whoever posses that power can control technologies...and can also control the power spheres?!"

'Yes. That's why the scientists wanted that power, but Nadhogg refused as it deemed them unworthy to possess the power. The scientists then planned to force the power out of it and destroy it for good, but it retaliated to the threat, and a planet was almost destroyed. A group of elemental users were sent to stop it, but after they knew the true story, they choose to save it instead.'

Boboiboy looked at the black sphere ball, "So Nadhogg was sealed to protect it from being misused..."

'This seal can't contains the Nadhogg and protect the technokinesis power any longer, the energies used to maintain it are almost used up. If you seal Nadhogg back, the same thing will happen again in the future, so we thought that you can use the power instead before Nadhogg is discovered to prevent the technokinesis power from falling into wrong hands.' The observant voice went quiet before it continues, 'So, what do you say? It's a very rare power, and whoever wields it can surely conquer the galaxy easily, but we believe that you can use it for good cause.'

Boboiboy shook his head slowly, "If this power is truly powerful and can control power spheres as you said, I am sorry but to refuse. I don't want this power."

'Oh? Why would you refuse such an offer? Not everyone can get hold onto this rare power, less being offered by us ,the guardians of this seal.' The observant voice said as it sounded shock.

"I have saved many power spheres and befriend with them. Despite them being technologies, they also have feelings. I even met a power sphere named Ochobot who gave me and my friends superpowers to protect the Earth and became TAPOPS agents. Using this power would mean the power spheres being used against their will, in that way I will be no different than those who misused the power spheres."

'You care about power sphere's feelings? But this power can reprogram the power spheres, even removing their sentience in their programs.'

Boboiboy gritted his teeth in anger as he summoned his twin lightning blades, "You're telling me to reprogram my friends?! Reprogram Ochobot?! I will not do such things to my friends?! If you try to harm them, I will not forgive you!"

'Hahaha!!! You really think that you can harm us with those sticks? You sure have guts kid, but it's not really a smart move to threaten us in our domain.' The gruff voice laughed.

The stone box's suddenly covered in lightning sparks, threatening to zap Boboiboy in the middle of the closed area when the authoritative voice cut in, 'Stop teasing the boy.'

The lightning sparks disappeared instantly as the gruff voice mumbled, 'Fine.'

Boboiboy also dispels his lightning blades as the kind voice addressed him gently, 'Don't worry young one, we will not harm your friends. It's quite a surprise that you see the power spheres as individuals and even regard them as your friends.'

"Ochobot is one of my best friends, he helped me so many times and I will do anything to protect him!" Boboiboy said sternly.

'We understand. So, all is well I think, now that you passed the test, don't you guys think the same?' The observant voice sounds happy as the other voices murmured in agreement.

Boboiboy on the other hand, looks surprise at the voice's statement. "Test?"

'Yes, we were testing you, to see whether you are the suitable candidate to wield Nadhogg's power, someone who doesn't regard the power spheres as tools only. And you, young one, not only you do see them as individuals, but you care for them. You passed the test brilliantly. Well done.'

"I passed? But I don't want that power..."

'Oh, don't worry about it. Nadhogg do have the technokinesis power, and it's not necessary for you to wield that power. You passed the test, and you can use Nadhogg's power as you see fit. Maybe it can solve your little predicament that you are in right now.'

"Predicament?"

'Yes, as a power collector, Nadhogg has variety of powers other than technokinesis power, so it will have the power to solve your situation with your elemental powers. I don't think they are supposed to be separated from you, yes?'

Boboiboy sheepishly scratched his head. "Yeah...I kinda forgot about that."

'Besides, Nadhogg works well when it has a operator that it can depend on.'

"Wait, Nadhogg had a operator before?"

'Of course it had, it's a device, no matter how advance it is, it still need an operator to operate it, as it's not like the other power spheres, you will know what I mean later. It's previous operator was killed by those scientists when they wanted the technokinesis power for themselves, which is one of the reasons why Nadhogg was unstable and almost destroyed the planet before it was sealed.'

"I don't know...what if Nadhogg don't want me as its operator? I am not really good with technology."

'Don't think so little of yourself, young one. I am sure it will accept you as its operator. We trust you to use it for good cause, unless you are planning for galaxy domination.' The playful voice teased, but then it spoke seriously, 'You are not planning for galaxy domination, aren't you?'

"Of course not!"

'Then there is no problem. You are after all, the protector of power spheres. I am sure Nadhogg will be in good hands and in good protection.' The timid voice spoke softly.

"Fine, but I will accept only if Nadhogg accept me as its operator first. I see it, no him as equals so I want him to choose for himself."

The authoritative voice spoke, 'Him? Hahaha, you are really serious about your view on power spheres, aren't you? Don't worry, Nadhogg will determine whether you are suitable to be it...I mean his operator or not. Now put your hand on him and channel only a small amount of light elemental power into him for activation.'

Boboiboy did what the voice asked him to and suddenly the black power sphere activated, changed into a small black dragon-shaped with a pair of wings, a green gem embedded on its forehead. The black dragon opened it, his eyes and spoke in computerised voice, "Nadhogg the Collector activated. Scanning the area."

Boboiboy stunted in shock as the gem on his head shined brightly as the familiar scan light, a green light, engulfing Boboiboy and the surrounding, scanning him just like Ochobot usually did.

After a few seconds, the small dragon spoke, "Scan completed. Species: Human from Earth wielder of seven elemental powers, power status shows weak and unstable elemental powers detected. Further scan indicates the absence of power regulator make the elemental powers unstable and dangerous. Elemental seals detected, seal durability: weakened."

'Now Boboiboy, say New Operator Protocol Code 0012869,' said the observant voice.

Boboiboy nodded as he repeated, "New Operator Protocol Code 0012869."

"Code confirmed, New Operator Protocol activated. Proceed to scan for possible candidate."

The green scan light once again engulfed Boboiboy, scanning him and his surrounding for a few seconds before the small dragon spoke, "Scan completed. Possible operator candidate detected, Boboiboy from Earth. Analyzing possible candidate. Analyze completed. Boboiboy from Earth, wielder of seven elemental powers, affiliates with TAPOPS and a power sphere named Ochobot. Compatibility as new operator: High. Do you wish to proceed?"

"Yes." Boboiboy confidently answered.

"Acceptance confirmed. Please place your thumb on the gem."

Boboiboy placed his right thumb on the gem as Nadhogg spoke, "New operator's identification stored."

Boboiboy pulled his thumb back as the small dragon said, "Greetings, Boboiboy. I am Nadhogg the Collector. Waiting for new order to execute."

Boboiboy looked at Nadhogg and said, "I actually need help, about my power watch. My elemental powers are actually separated from me, and usually I can combined with them, but I don't have my power watch with me to do that. So can you make a new power watch for me?"

The black dragon quieted for a while before it suddenly spoke, "The request analysis completed. Power watch of elemental powers replacement is requested. The remaining power in me only enough to process the request, the stored power will be fully used for that purpose. Are you sure to proceed?"

"What do you mean by that?" Boboiboy scratched his head in confusion as the observant voice explained for him.

'It means that whatever power stored inside Nadhogg will be used up to make your power watch, including the technokinesis power.'

Boboiboy smiled happily as he heard that, it would be better for that technokinesis power to be gone forever. He opened his mouth to reply before the playful voice cut in, 'Are you sure to waste such rare and powerful ability for your power watch?'

"I am sure." Boboiboy looked at Nadhogg and confidently said, "Please proceed."

"Request confirmed."

Nadhogg suddenly flew towards Boboiboy and latching itself around Boboiboy's right wrist, the place where his power watch was originally on. The dragon curled around the wrist, it bite its tail and after it stopped moving, it now actually looked like a black bracelet than a watch. The gem shined again as Nadhogg spoke.

"Restoring power watch data and strengthening the user's elemental power processes begins. Estimated duration, ten days."

Boboiboy looked at his wrist in amazed. "So...that's it?"

'Apparently it is...' The authoritative voice spoke. Boboiboy then looked around the box. "Wait, what about this box?"

'Well, it was made from our energi so it will disappear later after our energies diminished, but I think we should give you something, like a gift. It's not always we can meet our successor as interesting as you,' said the observant voice as the other voices chuckled.

Boboiboy's eyes widen in surprise. "Wait, you are..."

'We always worry what would happen to them after we were gone, but now that we know they have a good user like you, we are relieved. Thank you, Boboiboy.' The voice spoke.

The stone box shined as the voices spoke simultaneously, 'Enjoy the gift, and say hello to them for us, will you? Also tell them, thank you for everything.'

Boboiboy closed his eyes tightly when the box shined brightly and he crossed his arms across his eyes as he was engulfed in the bright light.

Meanwhile, outside the box, a few minutes after Boboiboy went inside...

Fang looked at the illuminated stone box a few feets from him as he laid on the ground, the entrance was sealed with a wall, and no matter how hard the elemental powers tried to open it, it wouldn't budge. Fang sighed, Boboiboy was still inside, and there was no noise or voice that can indicated whether his friend's safety in there. The elemental powers became more anxious as each second passed, and he didn't blame them. He felt the same thing as well.

"Elemental powers... sure are amazing."

Fang turned his face to his side as he heard Dalik spoke. The racoon was laying beside him, with his chest wrapped with some large leaves that acted like bandages. His injuries were serious and the chest wound made him difficult to breath properly but Daun managed to close the wound and stop the bleeding. Dalik would be weak for a while because of the blood loss, but Daun believed that he would recover.

"I heard from Nomi that you refuse to use the power spheres. Is that true?" asked Fang, as he looked at the unconscious Nomi laid a little far from their spot. Nomi was bounded with thorny roots and Air was currently acted as his guard.

"He...is lying. Power spheres...were created to be used. Only fools...who refused to...use such power." Dalik coughed a little and Fang helped the racoon with some water that Air placed beside him. Despite his dislike towards the racoon, he did help him and Boboiboy earlier, and Fang was sure that Boboiboy would be furious with him if he didn't help Dalik even if it's just as simple as water.

The battle seems to be over now, with TEMPUR-A soldiers were seen detaining the surviving pirates as prisoners.Fang tapped his communication device, apparently it broke after he fell down before. I wonder where are Admiral and Brother? Maybe they will come here after all the prisoners have been detained.

Fang shook his head a little as he put the makeshift cup Daun's made earlier back on the ground at his side before he spoke, "Then why have you never used any of the power spheres after you took over the base? You have a room full of them unguarded."

Dalik closed his eyes, but just after Fang thought he was asleep, the racoon opened his eyes as he said, "I promised Koko Ci...to protect the power spheres. Yes, I did use...them in the past, but what...Vargoba did to that...power sphere is unforgivable."

"You meant, the Stealthbot?" Fang looked at Dalik in interest.

"I took Nomi...under my wing just a few...months before I...banished Vargoba. When I knew..."

Dalik stooped as he took a shaking breath before he continued, "...about Stealthbot, I was furious...and banished Vargoba on the spot. I tried to take...the Stealthbot back...but he used it and...disappeared along with his crew. After that, I forbid Nomi...and the remaining crew from using...power spheres that we got ...ever again."

Fang sighed, "Now you make me conflicted. You are the bad guy, the pirate, right? And you're telling me you are against using power sphere that you stole?"

Dalik chuckled softly, "Heh, you can think...whatever you want of me. I am a dead man anyway."

"You know that I can defend you from what you told me earlier, right? We can even reduce your sentence since you helped us defeat the enemies."

Dalik closed his eyes as he spoke, "I helped only...because I value my life, nothing more. Besides, I took over...the base before Nomi ...got here. TEMPUR-A would be eager to cut...my head off for that. After all, I broke into...their highest security facility, they would...want me dead... even with the trial."

Fang casted down his head in silence, he can't argue with that. Dalik's action of breaking into this base was a heavy crime already, though he hoped Admiral Tarung would intervene the trial, giving Dalik the opportunity to reduce his sentence, maybe a life sentence instead of execution. Maybe he would talk to his brother about it.

"Fang!"

Fan looked up as he saw his human friends ran towards him with Ochobot hovering behind them. They reached him with Gopal who collapsed on the ground beside him as he breathe heavily while Yaya and Ying looked at him worriedly.

"Fang, are you okay?" Yaya asked as she looked at Fang's tired face. Fang smiled at his friend's concern. "I am fine, just tired."

"I thought I was dead!" Gopal exclaimed as he laid on the ground, sobbing in dramatically, "Commander Koko Ci is totally cruel you know! Cruel! How dare he treated me like this!"

"No need to be so dramatic, Gopal." Ochobot looked at Gopal in annoyance while Fang looked at the wailing Gopal in confusion.

"What happened to him?"

Yaya chuckled a little before she spoke, "Well, Gopal followed Commander Koko Ci in the scout spaceship to cover the TEMPUR-A soldiers from above. Gopal thought he was sniping the pirates from above with Commander Koko Ci, but it turns out that Commander need him as his ammo supply."

Dalik chuckled softly as Gopal glared at the racoon, "What are you laughing at?!"

"Koko Ci's gun...the Accuratus...can convert on-hand materials and energy...into ammunition. Let just say that...I am happy that I am...no longer his ammunition suply."

"Is that so?"

"Whoa!!!" Yaya and Ying jumped in surprise as Commander Koko Ci suddenly appeared behind them with Captain Papa and small-sized Cattus.

" I don't know that I am being cruel to you before this, Dalik. I thought you like standing behind me in battle."

Dalik chuckled, "It's advantageous...to make you a shield but I also...don't like being sucked dry...like a battery."

"Just think of it as rent for making me as your shield."

"A very...expensive shield?"

"Of course." Commander Koko Ci looked at Dalik as he knelt beside him. "How are your doing?"

"Its just a...scratch. I had worse...than this. I will live."

Commander Koko Ci patted Dalik's uninjured shoulder gently and glared at Gopal. He had been listening to Gopal's whines since they're in the scout spaceship after the battle ended. It not like he sucked all his energy for his gun. He thought about bring Gopal to the temporary infirmary at the base after the battle ended as Gopal seems to be winded but if he had the energy to whine, then Koko Ci thought he was okay.

Gopal gulped nervously as the small commander glared at him while Captain Papa laughed as he patted Gopal's back, "You supposed to be grateful, young man. It's not usual for you to be ammunition supply."

Gopal gave his former teacher a deadpan look. "You are supposed to make me feel better, Captain Papa. Not the opposite."

Captain Papa just grinned. "I am cheering you up! Besides, you have executed a very crucial role, Gopal. Without you, Commander can't shoot his gun, and we might not win the battle!"

Gopal nodded as he smiled happily at Captain Papa. "You are right!"

"Of course I am! I am Captain Papa Zola, enemy of evil, lover of justice!" Captain Papa did his famous pose, with unamused looks from everyone around him, except for Gopal who was cheering for his former teacher.

"Meow...Meow..." Cattus was meowing softly as he pawed Fang's hand. Fang looked at the green cat as Bellbot translated.

"Cattus is wondering where Boboiboy is?"

"Ah, he's still inside that stone box." Fang stroked Cattus's furs gently as he purred. Cattus then meowed again before he settled on Fang's lap for a nap. Fang was blinking his eyes in surprise, normally the green cat only likes to be with either Boboiboy or Captain Papa, but he was too exhausted to figure out Cattus's behavior so he let the cat napped on his lap as he stroked the fur gently.

"Angin updated us about that...saying Boboiboy want to seal it back." Yaya looked at the mentioned elemental power who was sitting beside the unconscious Nomi. Apparently, he was bothering Petir who changed with Air to guard Nomi.

"Yeah, but Tanah and Cahaya want to force their way in, it's worrisome that we can't sense Original in there."

"Daun!"

Daun smiled as the group greeted him. Yaya looked at the leaf elemental power who looked exhausted, well...they were all exhausted but the elemental powers look worse, they're probably worried about Boboiboy, not to mentioned the possible side effects of being separated for so long from Boboiboy. Yaya watched as Daun knelt beside Dalik and checked his chest wound, "Daun, do you need my help with anything?"

"Oh, its fine. Do any of you guys have injuries that needed treatment?"

Daun conjured a few mushed herbs for the wounds and everyone dived for some. Ying sighed in content as she felt cold on her scratches and bruises when she applied the mushed herbs. "Still, I wonder what Boboiboy is doing in there."

Everyone looked at the sealed stone box that Boboiboy was in as Daun looked at his other counterparts. Tanah and Cahaya were seen standing in front of the stone box, probably trying to enter the box while Api and Air sat quietly beside the box. Daun continue to watch as he saw Cahaya argued with Tanah in frustration, which was not a surprise as he also felt the same. Daun looked at the sealed stone box in worry. Original...please be okay...

Commander Koko Ci cleared his throat as he spoke, "Well, since there is no hostile movement from the stone box, I will say that whatever Boboiboy does in there, its works."

"Maybe we should..." Fang's statement was cut off as the stone box suddenly shined brightly, that everyone covered their eyes with their arms. After a few seconds the light disappeared, Fang opened his eyes to see the stone box was gone, and Boboiboy stood at where the box originally at in confusion.

"Original?!" Tanah said as he stunted in surprise.

"Oh, hey guys..." Boboiboy waved weakly in exhaustion.

"Operator's energy is dangerously low, immediate medical attention is required."

Everyone looked surprised as Boboiboy suddenly collapsed on the ground.

"Boboiboy!"
