I AM REALLY SORRY!!!

It's too long since my last chapter, I got held up with illness and other things in these few weeks. My immune system is not as strong as other people, so I get sick all the time. Fortunately my illness was not severe, and I thank those who pray for my well-being. I am feeling much better now, so I hope you guys will still support me to write fanfic stories in the future.

Anyway, thank you so much for your patience. On to the story now, shall we?

Warning: possible act of violence, blood, OOC, teary and embarrassing moments (maybe) and need lots of imagination.

Additional Note: I will refer Boboiboy as Original when he was referred by the elementals, and as Boboiboy when he was referred by his friends and in the narration.

Disclaimer: Boboiboy and all it's characters are belong to Animonsta Studios.

Enjoy!

"Boboiboy!"

"Original!"

Cries were heard as Boboiboy collapsed on the spot, Tanah and Cahaya ,being the closest, reached their user in the matter of seconds and knelt beside him. Fang, Gopal, Yaya and Ying moved slower due to their injuries and exhaustion, but the same thing can't be said to the rest of elemental powers. Apparently seeing their user somehow boosted their energy as their ran towards him, leaving everything behind them.

Commander Koko Ci on the other hand quickly barked orders to the soldiers to take over the guarding of Nomi and Dalik after the elemental powers rushed towards their user. The small commander glanced at the fallen young Earth hero worriedly as he reported what has happened to Admiral Tarung and requested an emergency medical team on site via his communication device, before he turned to see Dalik looked at him with his observant eyes.

"You care...about the boy."

"Dalik, we need to move you to a more secure location, Admiral Tarung wants you under TAPOPS custody before TEMPUR-A arrest you. Can you move on your own?" said Commander Koko Ci as he ignoring Dalik who was still staring at his former best friend in amusement.

"Come on... Koko Ci, I know you... well enough that you... fond of that boy." Dalik coughed a little, steadied his uneven breathing before he continued, "I also know that... you gave Kaizo the order... to spy on him... before you recruited him... a few years later."

Commander Koko Ci gently pushed Dalik into sitting position as he spoke, "So what if I did give Captain Kaizo that order?"

"I am just... curious. Why you... interested in him... to begin with? It's not... because of... power sphere... gave him power... right?"

"I did what's necessary to protect the power spheres, and I believe Boboiboy possess the qualities to be the protector of power spheres. If you knew about the order that I gave to Captain Kaizo, then you should already know about this."

Dalik paused for a while as Commander Koko Ci checked his wounds before he spoke, "Did you... recruited the boy... because of that man?"

Commander Koko Ci frowned in confusion as he heard Dalik's words, "That man? What are you talking about? Who is that man?"

So it's a no... "Its nothing. Just forget... about it."

Dalik coughed again, his breathing sounds wet, ignited concern inside Commander Koko Ci as he patted Dalik's back gently to ease his breathing, minding the pierce wound on his back.

The coughing lasted for a few minutes before Dalik stated panting heavily, eyes closed while he breathes through the pain. Being shot was no fun like in the movies, how he wished he was serious back then and quickly cut that traitor in half instead of playing around and got shot by that coward. Dalik glanced at the still unconscious Nomi. He knew that Nomi would betrayed him sooner or later, and he knew that he should do something about it, yet he thought that Nomi would returned to his senses and abandoned the thought of mutiny. Guess it was his fondness to his disciple that almost got him killed. I got too soft, and that's a mistake that I will not repeat.

Dalik opened his eyes again as the pain reduced to a familiar throbbing, and glanced at the kids. The panicking faces of the boy's friends as the medical team requested by Koko Ci earlier swiftly prepared the boy for transportation under the two elemental power's watchful eyes, no doubt to the medical room for proper treatment.

Dalik ignored the absence of most elemental powers or why only two were present given by their outstandingly protectiveness towards the boy as he closed his eyes again, stabbing pains occasionally made their presence in his head. He heard the footsteps approaching him, he heard Koko Ci's alarmed voice faintly telling him to wake up. His chest hurts as much as the rest of his body, and he heard Koko Ci's voice became fainter each second, before he finally succumbed to the realm of unconsciousness.

After Boboiboy's collapse...

Tanah knelt beside Boboiboy as he began to check his user's injuries while Cahaya noticed the weird looking bracelet around his user's right wrist. Cahaya poked the weird bracelet as he pointed it out to Tanah, "Tanah, what is this?"

Tanah looked at the dragon-shaped bracelet in confusion, "Was that on Original's wrist before this?"

"I don't think so..."

Tanah frowned before he said, "Call Ochobot. He can scan it and tell us what that is." Cahaya nodded in agreement but his voice sounds panic when he checked his user pulse.

"Tanah, something is wrong. His pulse..."

Tanah checked the pulse and he began to feel the heat underneath the skin. "Call the medical team. NOW."

"On it!" Cahaya quickly pushed the intended button on his communication device and talked to Admiral Tarung.

"Boboiboy!" Ochobot flew towards his best friend in hurry, as he arrived along with the rest of elemental powers and Boboiboy's friends. The yellow power sphere looked at Boboiboy unconscious form worriedly and turned to Cahaya, "Is he...?"

"He is still breathing but his pulse is erratic. His body feels really hot, he also has a high fever. Daun, Air, take over." Tanah stepped aside as Daun quickly looked at the wounds that Boboiboy sustained before while Air put his palms on Boboiboy's neck, trying to stabilize his user's body temperature to normal.

Gopal looked at Boboiboy's pale face in worry, "Boboiboy..."

Yaya and Ying held their tears as they saw their friend's unconscious form while Fang just held his head down. Captain Papa looked at Boboiboy in worry, not even bothering to put up his usual antics. Cattus meowed sadly, nudged Boboiboy's limp hand gently with his head. The rest of elemental powers looked at their user sadly as Daun and Air tried to stabilize his condition.

"His body temperature is too high and I can't get it down! He needs a medic, now!" Air's rare moments of distress added more panic to the group.

"Where is that damn medical team?!" Petir growled in anger.

"Commander Koko Ci already asked for a medical team to be dispatched here. They said they are on their way. ETA 10 minutes." Cahaya mumbled. Tanah shook his head, "It's not enough, we need to- "

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

The same computerized voice that they heard earlier spoke again and cut Tanah's statement, this time they noticed that the voice came from the bracelet, the small green gem on the dragon head blinked correspondingly to the words spoke.

"Huh?" Captain Papa looked at the bracelet in confusion, "When did my justice disciple have a trendy bracelet?"

"Since when did Boboiboy wear that?" Yaya wondered.

"Never mind that! That thing just spoke!" Gopal pointed at the bracelet in accusation manner. "It just spoke!"

"Yes Gopal, we all heard it too." Ying shrugged while Cattus growl in annoyance.

"Do you know about this?" Fang looked at Tanah, "Maybe that bracelet is the reason for his condition!"

Tanah shook his head, "We don't know, we are as confuse as you are."

Tanah then turned to the yellow power sphere as he said, "Please scan it Ochobot and tell me what you find. Petir and Cahaya, bring that medical team here now."

The mentioned elemental powers nodded as they swiftly took off. Ochobot scanned the bracelet for a few seconds and spoke, "I found traces of elemental powers that corresponds to Boboiboy, as well as a program that similar to power spheres a- huh? That's a power sphere?!"

"A what?!" Gopal exclaimed in shock.

A green scan light suddenly engulfed them as if it was scanning them for a few seconds before the same computerized voice spoke again, "Strong presence of elemental power detected."

The group looked at the bracelet in confusion before a green light shined again, this time it focused on Tanah, a thin green light straight from the gem on the bracelet into Tanah's forehead.

"Tanah!"

"Wait! It's fine."

Tanah held his hands as he stopped Angin from getting closer. Tanah closed his eyes as he spoke softly, "I understand."

As soon Tanah said it, the green light disappeared, and before anyone had a chance to ask Tanah what happened, a shout from distance brought hope to the group.

"The medical team has arrived! How is Original doing?!" Cahaya went towards the group, Petir and the terrified medical team trailing fast behind him. He and Petir used their respective technique and brought the medical team with them in just three minutes, arrived a few metres from the group. Tanah sighed in relief at the presence of medical team before he gave orders to the elemental powers, not wanting them to be crowded as their user received his treatment.

"Finally! Daun, assist them for Original's treatment with Angin as protection detail! In the meantime, Petir and Cahaya ,transport the other medical corps to the severely injured! Air and Api capture the pirates along with TEMPUR-A soldiers! I will update Original condition later, now go!"

The elemental powers minus Tanah looked at each other. By the time Tanah's stare became unbearable they reluctantly nodded before they vanished to there respective post. Daun is already with the medical team as soon as Tanah gave the order, he quickly gave the newly arrived medical team the insights about his user's condition where Angin stands near his user, but far enough to be out of the way as the medical team worked. Fortunately, this medical team was the same team that treated Boboiboy in the past, specifically after the Captain Vargoba incident so they already knew about Boboiboy's medical history which speed up their choice of treatment for Boboiboy.

One of the medical staff cautiously approached Tanah, who he assumed to be the leader as he had seen Tanah giving orders to the rest of the elemental powers earlier. He knew about how Boboiboy can split into a few doppelganger or clones, or whatever it was, though this was the first time he seen it first hand. "Errr, Boboiboy? I meant there are 8 of you... and you are..."

"Just call me Tanah, I am one of Original's elemental powers and directly in charge of his care along with the other elemental powers."

"Ah, yes. I want to tell you that we need to transport...errr...Boboiboy...I mean, Original to the medical room as soon as possible. We can proceed with more proper treatment there."

Tanah's eyes stared into the medical staff's intimidted the staff until he couldn't help but taking a step back. "Ah, that is...if you allow us to...I mean..."

"Fine, do whatever you can to save him, Daun and Angin..." Tanah pointed to the mentioned elemental powers who nodded at the staff, "...will accompany you all the time. Oh, and one more thing..."

Tanah narrowed his eyes as he spoke, "Any treatment procedure will go through Daun and Angin first. And you may not know this, but we as his elemental powers take his safety matter seriously. If any harm inflicted upon our user, I will not hold any responsibility of what will happen to you or the base, should it happens."

The doctor gulped at Tanah's serious tone before he nodded, "I understand. We will do everything in our power to save him. You have my word on that."

Tanah nodded, satisfied that his user would be in good hands as he watched the staff hurriedly walked towards his fellow coworkers preparing their patient to be transported. He knew that he shouldn't threaten that poor medical staff but stress and exhaustion from the battle and his user's condition began to get him, and until his user came back on his feet, he would do anything to secure his user's safety. Tanah looked at the weird bracelet that curled around his user wrist and remembered the thin green light earlier. I can't believe Original did that...though when I think about it that when it comes to power spheres, I am not surprised of what he did...

Tanah mentally sighed. His user really need a lecture for safety management.

Tanah watched as the medical staff carefully transported their precious cargo under Daun and Angin's watchful eyes, before he looked at Fang and the rest of Boboiboy's friends, "I think that you should get treated in the medical room and rest, I am sure that Original would want that."

"You need the rest too." Yaya said while Ying nodded in agreement. "Yalo, you guys've already been moving constantly, not to mention that your powers were sucked before this. You must be tired."

Ying looked at the earth elemental power worriedly. He already stumbled a few times before the battle and now he looks like he was about to fall down.

"Exhausted actually. But I can't, not until the Original wake up. With Original like that, they are panicking, and the only way to deal with panicking elemental powers is to give them something to keep going, or they will start to destroy something, particularly their surroundings, and this base has suffered enough damages in my opinion." Tanah smiled softly. "Other than Original, I am the only one that can control the other elemental powers should anything happens."

"We can keep an eye on them for you," Yaya suggested as she frowned at Tanah's weary smile.

"Thank you for your offer, but I doubt anyone can manage Petir's temper."

"That's...true..." Yaya gulped.

"We will go to the medical room and rest for a bit before we switching with Daun and Angin to watch over Boboiboy. At least some of you can get some rest. Or we can ask Commander Koko Ci to get you a private room for you together with Boboiboy after he's done with his treatment, that way you can rest and protect him. I will ask for the rest of us to get rooms near yours. How about that?" Fang looked at Tanah's surprised expression with a smile. "What is it?"

"I understand that Original will be in a private medical room or in the same room with you guys...but us too?"

"I take it that you would want to be near Boboiboy, and you would want to be surrounded by people that you trust, so its logical that we do that."

"That's not what I meant...I mean...after what happened, I am sure that TEMPUR-A would..."

"Put you into prison? Capture you and experimented you to gain power? You guys are after all the mastered elemental powers, even as first ti- OW!"

Ying smacked Gopal's head swiftly. "Oi, can you at least read the situation?!"

"You don't have to smack me for saying the truth!"

"What was that?!"

"Ep!"

Gopal ran behind Captain Papa for protection which the said captain then hide behind Cattus who currently licking his fur leisurely. "Meow?"

Yaya just chuckled at her friends while Tanah and Fang just sweatdropped.

Tanah shook his head for a bit, dismissing the weird situation he witnessed earlier before he spoke, "What he said is true...I mean, with Original downed and us being wounded and exhausted, it's a golden opportunity to capture us."

"I want you to know that what I said before, I mean it. I also can say for the others that we meant what we said, we will protect Boboiboy and you guys ,the elemental powers. Boboiboy is one of us, and we always take care of ours...You might be currently separated from Boboiboy, but you're still his elemental powers, which is also under the protection of TAPOPS. And I am sure Admiral and Commander think the same thing."

"It just as Fang said."

"Commander Koko Ci!"

Commander Koko Ci smiled at the young TAPOPS's agents who saluted him, except for Tanah who watched him carefully.

"At ease everyone. I noticed that none of you go to the infirmary yet. Go on, I already prepared the rooms for you all. Get a good rest, you all earned it. Of course, that includes all the elemental powers."

Tanah blinked his eyes in shock, "Even after we..."

"I understand why you did what you did. If I was in your place, I would do the same thing. Admiral and I have decided that until you returned to Boboiboy's power watch, you are under our protection. But don't worry, we have no authority over you as you are not TAPOPS's agents in the first place. Whatever you need to secure Boboiboy's safety as well as yours, TAPOPS is ready to support you." Commander Koko Ci smile genuinely, "This is my personal promise to you. I gave you my word."

"I...Thank you." Tanah bowed a little towards the small commander, for Koko Ci has earned his trust.

Commander Koko Ci cleared his throat before he spoke again, "Go on, get treated and rest. Tanah, you can call the other elemental powers to get some rest. Leave everything else to me and the TEMPUR-A."

Tanah just nodded as Fang and the gang began to walk towards the scout spaceship that Captain Papa drove earlier, for the non-flight persons of course as Fang and Yaya still have some energy left to fly.

The earth elemental power still watching the retreat form of the small commander as he muttered softly. "Guess my user finally choose the right side this time."

At the medical room...

"How much longer do we have to wait?!"

"Calm down Petir, its only half an hour since he arrived here. Daun and Angin are with him, relax."

"How can I relax?! For all I know Angin probably passed out somewhere and Daun is crying at the corner of the room, who knows what happens to the Original as we speak! You asked us to relax and let the Original in the care of those two! What were you thinking, Tanah?!"

"I know you love us Petir, no need to show it off. I wonder what Angin would say if he hear your now." A chuckled was heard followed by a growl.

"Shut up, light bulb! Open your mouth again and the only thing that you will concern of is yourself! Got it?!"

"Fine, fine...No need to explode. Sheesh... As exhausted as you claimed, you sure are lively."

"Grrr..."

"Now, now... Cahaya stop patronizing him. Petir, if you don't want to sleep then sit down. I have no extra energy to spare should you wake up the rest. Besides, we don't want to wake up the others at the next room."

Tanah stared at Petir who reluctantly sat down on his bed, sighing as he tried to calm down. Tanah shook his head before he looked at the rest of the elemental powers who were sleeping soundly, dead to the world on their respective bed.

Tanah still can't believed that Commander Koko Ci prepared a room for them, and true to his words, their room was between the Original's friends rooms, with TAPOPS agents occasionally knocked the door to ask if they need anything else. They managed to finish a light meal after their wounds were treated earlier, and now they were given this room to rest while waiting for Original to finish his treatment in treatment room down the hall. They were also were given fresh clothes, fortunately none of the ridiculous outfit they wore before, just plain shirt, jeans and caps, with different colors that respectively similar to their element colors.

The room that they're currently in was spacious enough to fit all the elemental powers and they were lucky to get proper bed to rest, as some medical room were destroyed in the heat of the battle earlier.

Tanah snapped back from his thoughts as Petir tapped his feet impatiently on the floor, frown plastered on his face. He understands Petir's concern, but the only wide ones awake at the moment were him, Petir and Cahaya, and Tanah knew that with Daun's techniques in medical field and Angin's support to cheer the leaf elemental power as well as protector should anything happens, they were the perfect choice to oversee Original's treatment.

Though Petir was right, those two are probably exhausted to the bone by now. Air was a choice to partner with Cahaya to relieve them, but the water elemental power already fell asleep as soon as his head touched the pillow, and Tanah have no heart to wake him up, and partnering Petir with Cahaya to relieve Angin and Daun was totally out of question. Especially Api for an obvious reason.

Tanah sighed as Petir once again stood up and paced around the room, mumbling about wanting to strangle the doctors one by one should no news came to them in five minutes.

Though Petir's mumbles were cut short after a few seconds passed as the door suddenly opened, revealing the exhausted Daun followed by two medical staff pushing a bed which laid Original unconscious form into the room with Angin sluggishly strolled after, hands full with Ochobot who was resting in his portable charger.

The yellow power sphere apparently used quite a bit of his energy after a scare episode where the weird bracelet suddenly spoke about possible energy transfer from Ochobot. Being the one who granted Boboiboy's power watch in the first place, the weird bracelet said it has configured with the original data of the power watch, so Ochobot managed to transfer some of his energy into the weird bracelet which it then converted to treat Boboiboy's exhaustion state.

"Finally!" Petir walked towards the pushed bed to help while Daun and Angin respectively laid on the empty beds, too tired to say anything. Daun was asleep soon after he laid down on the bed with Angin who blinked his eyes tiredly to the ceiling.

One of the medical staff with Petir's help pushed the bed to the empty corner of the room and hooked the Original with IV and some other medical equipment to monitor his heart beats and breathing. Cahaya has abandoned his bed to take Ochobot from Angin weak grasps just before the wind elemental power collapsed on the bed. The light elemental power then put the power sphere on the side table of the Original's bed.

The other medical staff looked around, seeing the sleeping elemental powers before he spoke, "Errr... I was told by my superior to give my report to someone named... Tanah?"

Tanah stood up from his bed and walked towards the medical staff who asked for him. "That would be me."

The staff blinked, obviously he was taken back by Tanah's soft voice. His superior was refusing to give the report for some reason and told him to speak to this Tanah person with respect, though after he heard Tanah's soft voice and smile, it's a mystery why his superior looks afraid earlier.

"Okay...errr...Mr...Tanah. Ehem, according to this, Boboiboy has suffered severe exhaustion, a gash caused by gunshot on his right shoulder, some cuts and bruises. He also has a small fever, probably caused by exhaustion. Your...errr...fellow has provided with that magnificent herbs that its healing properties are parallel to the latest medicine technology for his wounds and fever, and with some rest we believe that he will gains full recovery."

Tanah nodded as he scanned the report handed by the staff, and smile in satisfaction with the report. "Thank you for your hard work. Tell the doctor that he has my full of gratitude for his efforts in saving my user. Though I hope that we can meet up later and have a cup of tea together." Tanah smiled as he internally felt guilty for scarring the poor doctor earlier.

The staff smiled, "I am sure he will love that. Then, if you don't have any more question I will be on my way. There is a call button at the side of the bed should you need any medical assistance."

"Thank you again."

The medical staff looked back at his trapped colleague who was currently struggling in Petir's choke hold for unknown reason with unsure look. Tanah pinched his forehead tiredly as he looked at the scene,

"Petir."

Tanah's sharp voice stunned the said elemental power. Petir took one look from Tanah and he quickly released the heaving medical staff. After a forced apology from Petir and Cahaya, the two medical staff finally exited the room, leaving the three elemental powers to their sleeping user.

Tanah walked towards the Original's bed and sat on a chair that was pulled by Petir earlier. He looked at the dragon-shaped bracelet that curled around Original's right wrist, "Status report of the Operator?"

Petir looked Tanah in confusion. "Tanah?"

Tanah stared at the bracelet for a few seconds, ignoring Petir's confused question before the same voice was heard, the small gem on its head blinked in green light as it spoke, "Operator's current condition: Exhaustion cured by 20%, light fever detected, as well as medication to oppose the said ailment. Power watch restoration process is halted until exhaustion cured by 50%. Estimation of recovery: Ten days. Overall: Operator's condition is stable."

Cahaya abandoned his bed and went towards his user's bed as Petir looked at the bracelet in curiosity, "What is that thing exactly?"

Again Tanah ignored Petir's question as he spoke again, "Status report on elemental powers mental links to the Operator?"

"Status mental links of elemental powers: Earth: Good, Lighting: Medium, Wind: Medium, Leaf: Poor, Fire: Poor, Water: Poor, Light: Poor. Strengthen mental links process is halted until exhaustion cured by 70%. Overall: Operator's mental health is stable. Begin the dormant mode to save energy. Estimation: Ten days. Shutting down."

"What are you doing Tanah?" Cahaya looked at Tanah who sighed in relief. Original's mental links with them were good and no potential harm to Original's mental health apparently. Tanah watched as the green blinking lights went out when Petir growled at him in anger of being ignored.

"Tanah!"

"I heard you, Petir. No need to growl at me."

Petir tsked as he crossed his arms on his chest. "Well?"

"I rather we talk about it when everyone wakes up."

"That's Nadhogg, right?" A sleepy voice was heard from Angin who looked at Tanah with half-opened eyes from his laid position on his bed. "I recognized its shape...though its hard to see since...*yawn*...its so small now."

"You are joking, right? That's Nadhogg?" Petir looked at Angin in disbelief while Cahaya chuckled silently at Petir's soft voice as not to disturb Original, though he pretty sure the other sleeping elemental powers were included in the reasons for his soft voice. Despite Petir harsh attitude, it was clear that Petir loves his elemental counterparts, they been together in that watch for how long so it's not a surprise that the fierce elemental power has warmed up to them by now, though he would flatly denied it if anyone asked.

"No, he is not, and yes, that's Nadhogg. Though as I said earlier, I'd rather we talk about it when everyone's awake."

Petir rolled his eyes at Tanah's words but didn't say anything in return as he sat on his bed, silently looked at Angin.

Tanah just shook his head at Petir's silence before he turned to Angin who struggled to open his eyes, "Just go to sleep. I will take the first watch."

Angin smiled softly, eyes already closed, "O...kay...*snore*..."

Petir snorted before he went to Angin and tucked him in a blanket. He made a round in the room, tucking his fellow elemental powers in blankets (except for Air who already made himself a cocoon with blanket, wrapped his entire body in the thick blanket. It's a miracle that he even can breathed in that thing, Petir double-check to see if Air breathe properly before he left.)

Cahaya who actually fought the exhaustion already fell asleep on Petir's bed that was next to Original's bed. Petir sighed as he tucked Cahaya in blanket. "Stupid light bulb, sleep on other people bed."

"Well, there is no name on the beds after all..."

"Shut it Tanah."

Tanah chuckled before he saw Petir made a small pot of coffee at the small pantry located at the back of the room.

A pot? "Isn't that a lot?"

"Nope. You want some?"

Tanah shrugged, he was already planning to stay awake all night anyway. "Sure, why not?"

Petir brought the pot with two cups to the small table beside Original's bed. He poured the coffee into the cups before handed one of the steaming cups to Tanah. He then pulled a chair next to Tanah and nursed his own cup. "Be careful, its hot."

Tanah carefully sipped the hot beverage, hummed in content as the hot liquid warmed his body comfortably. Petir sipped his own before he asked, "So? What's the story with Nadhogg become small weird bracelet? Last time I saw it through my user, it was huge."

Tanah sighed. "Didn't you hear what I said earlier?"

"That you'd rather talk about it when everyone awake? Yeah, I heard. But that doesn't mean I want to follow. So spill."

Tanah looked at Petir, engaged in unplanned staring contest for a minute before he gave in and grumbled, "Fine. Why are you so stubborn?"

Petir chuckled. "Blame the Original, not me. We do get affected by his personality after all."

Tanah put the cup on the table, "Fine, since you insisted. When you went to fetch that medical team with Cahaya, the bracelet... I mean Nadhogg spoke to me."

Petir put his cup on the table, Tanah now has his full attention. "Spoke to you? How?"

"The gem shined and a thin green light focused into my forehead. I panicked at first before that same voice you heard echoed inside my head. It told me how Original has became its new operator, and that it was ordered by Original to restore his power watch."

"Didn't Ochobot say that he can restore the power watch? Repair the glitch thing?"

"He said that he doesn't know, and that he might be able to with Original's presence. Though after I give it a deep thought, Original probably did the right decision. You know, when we split up before Dalik attacked us, Original has no power watch on him?"

Petir nodded. "Yeah, though it's confusing since we all got ours."

"That because the power watch was actually being split too. Remember when Original used his split move, he's always in one of the elemental form? That's why he still have the watch, because the watch deemed him as one of the elemental powers."

"So when we split , Original is separated from us, the watch does not recognize Original as the elemental power so he didn't have the watch."

"Exactly."

Petir scratched his head, "Man, talk about confusion..."

"Nadhogg is acting as a temporary power watch, and currently restoring our data as well as strengthening the mental link, though there is one catch."

"Which is?"

"The process need a lot of energy from Original, which is why he has the severe case of exhaustion."

"So its like when we strengthen our mental links with him, huh?"

"Yeah, Original is already exhausted at that time, and when he asked Nadhogg, the process took a toll on his body. If not because of Nadhogg..."

Petir looked at Tanah in alarmed as Tanah mumbled the last part reluctantly.

"What is it? What did Nadhogg did?"

Tanah hesitated for a second before he spoke, "Originally Nadhogg acts as a temporary power watch to Original but when Original collapsed from the severe exhaustion, Nadhogg used its own energy to stabilize Original long enough for us to get him medical treatment. To do that, it has... fused with Original's energy and will...slowly...become the new...watch..." Tanah's voice trailed off as Petir looked at the earth elemental power in shock. Tanah silently counted three seconds before Petir exploded, chair screeched loudly as he stood in anger.

"Are you saying that when we get back into the watch, we will be roommates with that lizard?!"

"Quiet down!" Tanah hissed at Petir's loud voice. The two of them then watched around the room, not even a single twitch from the sleeping forms, though they heard the occasional snores from Api and Angin. Original also seems to be in deep sleep, Tanah would personally used 'Tanah Mencengkam' on Petir should he woke up because of Petir's shout.

Tanah sighed in relief before he glared at Petir and hissed, "That's why I said to wait until morning! I knew you will be like this!"

"Me?! That thing killed our users!" Petir hissed back, "Have you forgotten about that?! How come you can be so calm about sharing space with that thing?!"

"Was it? We knew that sealing technique is risky, but our users went through that anyway, to protect the planet! For all we know Nadhogg was an energy collector device and one day it suddenly went amok?! It does not make any sense! Think about it!"

Petir gritted his teeth, he knew Tanah was right at some point but he can't accepted it. His user was dead, and he was forced to stay inside that non-sentient power sphere for how long. And when he got a user, he was robbed by that overgrown monkey. If Nadhogg didn't run amok at that time...perhaps...he would still...

Tanah solemnly looked at Petir who sat back on his chair weakly, eyes casted down with a dejected sigh. "Petir, I..."

"You right. I... I just... Sorry, this isn't like me. I know that I should... but..."

"I understand, we all feel the same thing whenever we remember about that day. We never tell Original about that day to him, so we're kinda at fault as well. But remember, we are Original's elemental powers now. Whatever decision he made, we as his elemental powers have no right to question his judgement."

Petir sighed again as he downed the rest of his coffee before he poured another cup for him from the steaming pot he made earlier before he spoke softly, "I know. I just can't believe that Original did that."

Tanah chuckled weakly. "Well, you should know how Original is by now. He is too reckless, but he knew what he was doing. His recklessness is like your former user, don't you think so?"

Petir chuckled softly, "Nah, I am pretty sure its from yours."

Tanah frowned as Petir downed his second cup of coffee, "You should sleep now, I know that you're exhausted after what happened. You can take over me later."

"I can't, that prick has slept on my bed. Besides, I'm wide awake now." Petir covered his mouth with the back of his palm to suppress a yawn before he sipped his third cup of coffee.

Tanah smiled in amusement at Petir's excuses, considering there were two empty beds at the moment and the fact that he just saw Petir yawned. Tanah knew Petir stayed awake for his sake, Original still need to be monitored despite the doctor's assurance, not to mention that their safety still not secured, not when the TEMPUR-A soldiers saw their powers in the battle. He was grateful for Petir's company, he doubted he can defended them all on his own should the TEMPUR-A decided to capture and experiment them for power.

"Will it kill you to say that you are concerned?"

Petir sipped his coffee as he mumbled, "Dunno and don't care. It's my choice, not for the you or anyone."

"Thanks Petir, I appreciate it."

"Shut up."

Next morning...

The well-rested elemental powers as well as Boboiboy's friends were currently in Fang and Gopal's bunk except for Petir who was sleeping soundly in his bed (he finally got his bed from Cahaya which involved Petir kicking Cahaya out of the bed, typical Petir's wake up call. Fortunately he was too tired to electrocute that poor light elemental power to wake him up) and Air who refused to leave his bed, is still in his cocoon blanket while having his second breakfast. Ochobot and Cattus also choose to stay beside the sleeping Boboiboy, the yellow power sphere apparently developed a trauma of seeing Boboiboy unconscious form and is not willing to leave his side ever, and probably for quite a long time after this.

Tanah on the other hand managed to get a few hours of sleep soon after their small talk last night, which made the fierce elemental power stayed awake until morning. Apparently even the coffee can't treat Tanah's exhaustion, though the nap was great, as while he still felt a little tired, he was energized for the day.

Anyway, the group was gathered along with Admiral Tarung, Commander Koko Ci and Nut. Sai and Shielda were tasked to guard Dalik as TAPOPS' prisoner, resulting Admiral Tarung to have a shouting battle with TEMPUR-A's highest command who just got back from a meeting outside the galaxy's sector earlier. How Admiral Tarung manage to keep Dalik under TAPOPS' custody was a mystery. Captain Kaizo on the other hand, has gone for another secret mission ordered by Admiral Tarung, talk about an elite TAPOPS member, he sure had it rough.

Dalik was still injured, his condition turned worse last night as he had a case of severe blood loss, though with the help from Daun's herbs the doctor was hopeful that the racoon would gained full recovery in a few weeks.

Back to the group when everyone has seated, Tanah spoke first, "As agreed by me and Commander Koko Ci, elemental powers will be under TAPOPS's protection until Original is healed, despite us not under TAPOPS' authority. So on behalf of the elemental powers, I sincerely thank TAPOPS for that."

The other elemental powers looked at their user's superiors with gratitude.

Commander Koko Ci nodded as Admiral Tarung just smiled, "It's fine, it is my duty to take care of my subordinates' well-being, including their powers. Koko Ci also has informed Tok Aba as well as your families, in edited form of course, about what happened here. After a discussion with Koko Ci, I decided to grant you all vacation leave for a week."

"Does that means we can go back to Earth?" Gopal excitedly asked Admiral Tarung who just nodded. "Yes! I get to eat Amma's curry again!"

"Yay" Yaya and Ying held hand happily, while Captain Papa has declared dramatically how he missed his darling back on Earth.

Commander Koko Ci smiled at the excited faces of his subordinates, "As soon as Boboiboy wakes up and release by the doctor, Ochobot will send you back to Earth. Fang, you will join Boboiboy on Earth for safety until he recovers. I hope that's okay with the elemental powers?"

Tanah nodded, "With us separated from Original quite a while and the unforseen effect of Original's action with Nadhogg, anything can happens. An additional protection for Original is welcomed."

"I understand, Commander." Fang nodded, accepting the order with a salute.

"But it's quite a shock, hearing that Boboiboy used Nadhogg to fix your split situation." Ying said, remembering Tanah's explanation about how Nadhogg communicated with the thin green light thing into his forehead, telling Tanah that Boboiboy is its operator and how it was ordered to restore the power watch.

"Tell me again how on earth he managed to be that thing's operator when he said he wanted to seal it before, the very thing that was said capable of destroying an entire planet!" Fang sighed. Leave it to Boboiboy to make everyone terrified and angry at him at the same time.

"Well, our user is quite reckless ,we've seen it first hand on day one." Angin chuckled.

Commander Koko Ci sighed, "The fact that he managed to land himself in the medical room twice, when he's not even recovered from the first one yet. I already see myself nursing a headache in the future."

"Ah, I will talk to Original about that, Commander." Tanah looked at the small commander with an apologetic look who just waved casually. "It's fine, I will speak to him later. Though it is not his fault to begin with."

Tanah then turned to Cahaya, "And you, Cahaya. Don't think I didn't hear what happened between you and Daun. When we get back to the Earth, we will have the talk, understand?"

Cahaya gulped in fear, cold sweats glistered on his forehead. Daun didn't want Cahaya to get in trouble, and opened his mouth to protest, "Tanah, it's okay. I already forget about it! I do-"

"Another word and you will be included in that talk too, Daun."

Daun quickly clamped his mouth shut, gave an apologetic look to Cahaya who looked down in guilt.

The non-elemental beings looked at the scene in confusion. I wonder what makes the other elemental powers afraid of Tanah, it's not like he is fierce like Petir or anything like that. Yaya wondered silently. (A/N: Oh, you have no idea, don't you Yaya?)

A knock then smoothed the air as Air opened the door, his face looked bored but with a slight hint of joy as he spoke, "Original is awake."

Sighs of relief were heard in the room, and Admiral Tarung smiled, "Well, let see your user now shall we?"

Tanah nodded with a smile. His user is safe, the enemies in prison and even with the undetermined fate for the elemental powers and the turned-bracelet Nadhogg, he was sure that they would be just fine. His user was Boboiboy after all...
