"I'm fine" : talking

'Why?' : thinking

"I don't know" :talking on video


A few days have passed and the elemental brothers are still grieving for the lost. Fang was the one who reported the unfortuned missions and the lost. T.A.P.O.P.S takes extreme measures to ensure that they will not be ambused just like Halilintar's group was. Everyone feels sorry for them. Fang, Gopal, Yaya, and Ying are trying to make the brothers happy, but it seems they can't do anything about this.

"This is all my fault.", Hali says to Ice in the training hall.

"This is not your fault! You tried your best to protect him"

The normally lazy Ice is actually consoling Halilintar.

"I'm not strong enough."

"Kak Hali, your group was fighting a psycopathic alien from ancient times. It is a miracle that the three of you survived!"

"So you mean Solar sacrifice is for naught!"

Ice can sense how angry Halilintar is.

"Of course not! What I mean is there must be a reason why Solar did that! We have to find the answer. This is Solar we're talking about. He must have a plan for us to do! That is why he let himself to be the victim!" Ice shout at Hali to make him realize that he too wants to do something to save Solar. Ice is fed at everything, from the silent that greet him in the morning, to hearing Thorn cry in his room, to Blaze setting anything ablaze because of the stress, to listening to the hollow laugh Taufan uses, to seeing the lost look on Gempa's face. He needs them to wake up. He needs them to fight this together. He needs them to save Solar

"WAKE UP! All of you! Solar needs us!"

Ice's wake up call is heard trough the hallway.

"For someone who likes talking in whisper voices, you can scream too" Hali states in soft tone, after hearing Ice's outburst. He never though that the normally calm Ice can be this serious.

"I think you're right. We can't stay like this forever. Solar is counting on us!"

"Finally your brain is working."

"I though your sarcasm was gone, but it seems it's only been buried by that facade."

Ice gives Hali a cold glare while Hali returns it with a deathglare.


Thorn is currently in Solar's room."I miss you, Solar."

Tears fall on the white cap. Thorn forgot how many times he cried. His heart is aching to meet him. Nightmares haunt him, he is afraid to sleep. To dream of Solar and watch him dissappear again. Thorn notices Solar's Lab is not locked. He sees many projects of science, potions and so on. From the finished one, to half finish, to just been theorised, and been planned. He even sees some seeds that will be researched.

"It's sad to see how many things that you left behind."

Thorn can imagine Solar wearing his lab coat and introducing his newest innovation that make his siblings interested or plain bored. Now, only shadows accompany him. Unconciously, Thorn takes a glance on the long, white table. A camera stayed put there with a single paper written in hurry. Thorn is a curios person. He picks up the paper and read it.

"Haahh?" Thorn questions, staring at the paper, then runs to find the others.

"They have to see this, maybe..., maybe... this is our last hope to defeat him!"


In the briefing room, everyone is tensed. From the elemental brother to Fang, Gopal, Ying, Yaya, Ochobot, and Nut. They are not sure if they can still take missions after one of them became a victim of that villain. Thorn stands beside Koko Ci holding a camera and a paper.

"Thorn found something in Solar's Lab"

Everyone's attention is on Thorn as he explains the event. He gives the camera to Nut who starts his job.

"There is a video in here," Nut says to Koko Ci. He doesn't want to expose the video onto the big screen untill everyone agrees to take responsibility.

"Do it, I bet it must be really important," Halilintar as the eldest of the brothers gives his approval. The big screen slowly reveals the features of someone they know. Solar holding on some substance in his hand. Everyone's reactions are quite varied.

'We miss you, Solar.' Gempa holds back everything that he wants to say. Solar in the video is mixing up some substance with a gloomy expression.

"Ah, I almost forgot. Sorry to keep you waiting."

The elemental brothers feel like their hearts are being cut into pieces. The others just sigh for their friend.

"If you find this, then we lost."

No one speaks about the fight after the incident.

"And I'm not with you."

Halilintar keeps repeating that this is all his fault in his head.

"This is not your fault, Kak Hali, Kak Thorn."

Those two whose names are called can only grimace at how right Solar's words are.

"I've already predicted that we will meet him sooner rather than later. Even more, it is impossible for us to capture someone like him. As a matter of fact, our power combined is still not strong enough. It takes more than 100 years to beat him."

True to what Solar said they are like a prey in the eyes of Retak'ka. Retak'ka outmatches them on capability and experiences.

"We only know Retak'ka is the previous owner of elementals power, but the real problem is Retak'ka own ability to take and absorb power from other Users."

Halilintar group knows about this but the other gourp is clueless. Of course they are shocked.

"I think right know Retak'ka is hunting Users. Especially us, seven. More specifically on my power."

Confusion is on everyone's faces.

"I'm confused just like you. If the information did not come from Databot I would have thrown it in the trash. The first element he received was Gamma, it is the third level of Light power. He will search for this element first then collect the others."

They can see how tense Solar's shoulder are in the video. Taufan can see his little brother star gazing, thinking of the fate that will befall him.

"Why should you bear this alone? You should have let us know! We could've helped you!"

Blaze is furios at how stupid his brother can be. Why can't Solar just ask for help so everyone can assist in solving this problem. Blaze is not the only one who is furious, Halilintar wants to give a piece of his mind to that stubborn yet genius brain.

'I wish that I could electrocute you, Solar. For giving us such a late notice'


Wuu finish

See you again in the next chapter!
