STORY START
Today is the day Rama, Sinta, and the two odds creatures visit Ragunan Zoo to rescue Pango, for going on a trip like that they must have enough money because the location is pretty far from Rama's rented house. Luckily, Rama had already called his father last night to give him some extra cash, but his father didn't know that the money was used for a trip to Ragunan Zoo. Rama lied to his father to give him some money because he had 5 job interviews in South Jakarta for the next few days and he needed it for the gas and meal. At first, his father didn't believe him, but once Rama convinced him that he would get a job from one of those five interviews and this not already one week yet, his father finally supported him and gave him some money that should be enough for the next few days. Rama received 5 million Rupiah ($320), which is way more enough than he was expecting. Since his father was a robusta coffee businessman back in Lampung, no wonder he gave money to Rama that much, he will always support his son no matter how much it costs even though he's an idealistic type of man.
Rama already feels bad for lying to his father about the job interview, but this is the only way to save Klonoa and Guntz's friend. After they all had enough sleep and rest, Rama, Klonoa, and Guntz were already awake before 08:00 AM because Sinta already asked them to wake up before that time or they would not get a ride to Ragunan Zoo. Even though they already have a good rest, going somewhere in the early morning without breakfast was kinda sucks. Rama also didn't have any time to make breakfast for himself, Klonoa, and Guntz. So he decided to give a glass of milk to the two odd creatures so they wouldn't get too hungry on the trip, Klonoa already liked the milk that Rama gave to him, while Guntz drank the milk reluctantly because he already didn't like anything from this world.
What's wrong with him already?! Rama on his thought while looking at Guntz drinking milk was the very last thing that he ever wanted to drink.
Not for long, Rama got a WhatsApp message from Sinta to meet her at the front of the alley, why she didn't come here instead? But Rama doesn't bother about it, he also already prepared Guntz with a hoodie jacket for him so he wouldn't be recognized by many people, Klonoa also used his previous hoodie jacket from yesterday to cover his entire face. They both finally exit the house and head toward the front alley, when they arrive suddenly Rama is confused and shocked, Surprisingly Sinta is driving a 2008 silver Toyota Rush, which is enough to carry three of them to the zoo. Rama second was jealous of Sinta, this was his first time seeing Sinta already have a car. All this time, Rama always picked up her after college using his motorcycle, he never knew that after graduating she already had a car while Rama still using his old motorcycle.
"Hey dumb and dumber!! You coming or what?" Sinta yelled at Rama who looked at her car with a confused and dumb face.
"Oh…yeah….yeah…sure Sinta." Rama snapped back to his reality then opened the door and got in the car.
Klonoa and Guntz who saw this were kinda awkward for a moment then followed Rama to get in the car, Rama sat in the front seat next to Sinta while Klonoa and Guntz sat in the back seat together. Before they leave, Rama and Sinta talk to each other for a moment.
"What? You didn't expect I already have a car, did you?" Sinta said while giving Rama a cocky face.
"Ahhh…… I thought you came here and we all go together by using GoCar or GrabCar." Rama said while still jealous of her.
"Yup, since I already got an Internship at the accounting firm after we graduated and it's quite far from my house, my parents gave me a vehicle so I don't have to use public transportation again".
"Hold on, You already have an internship?! Why did you never tell me about it?!" Rama is getting more jealous of her when she already at least has a job while Rama hasn't.
"Because if I tell you……..you will be jealous of me!! And this is what happens now!!" Sinta starts to get loose from his patient. "No one will accept you as their employee because of your stupid experience as part-time A & W Cashier Guy!!"
"Hey!! At least I could fund my college with my own money from that "stupid experience", while you using your parent's money to fund the college and they easily give you a car by doing nothing!!" Rama starts to get impatient too.
"At least I have a job and income, while you're nothing!!" Sinta yelled.
"What do you say?!" Rama already wants to give a Sinta lesson.
"BOTH OF YOU STOP!!!" Suddenly Klonoa yelled from behind
Rama and Sinta who heard that immediately look behind them to see Klonoa already pissed off by their behavior.
"I don't know what's the problem between the two of you, but can we please go to the zoo so we can save PANGO?!" Klonoa already had enough to listen to this weird couple.
"You two are the most unusual couple that I have ever seen in my life," Guntz said while shaking his head.
Rama and Sinta who are being commented on by two odd creatures behind them suddenly feel embarrassed for themselves, why they can't be a perfect couple and always fight for something they don't have to fight for.
"I'm sorry Sinta." Rama finally spoke first after a minute of silence from their last argument. "I didn't have breakfast this morning yet, so when I saw you already have a car, I couldn't control myself."
"Hmphh, same old Rama, always forgot to breakfast," Sinta said with a much happier face than before while pushing Rama's shoulder to break the tension between them.
"Ouch!! Stop it, Sinta." Rama said with an embarrassed face
Then they both laugh at each other knowing how stupid they are fighting and arguing for unnecessary things. Klonoa and Guntz once again get more confused about these two couples.
"Hey, are you guys hungry back there?" Sinta asked Klonoa and Guntz in the back seat.
"Yes, I'm soooooo hungry," Klonoa said.
"Can we just go to the zoo already?" Guntz said with an impatient face.
"Alright then, there are plenty of foods near Ragunan Zoo. I'm sure you boys gonna like it." Sinta then drove her car and headed straight to the zoo.
--
On their way to the zoo, Rama told Sinta that he would pay for anything for this trip such as gas, the zoo ticket, and food for all of them since he already had money from his father, Sinta was relief since she didn't have to spend money from her pocket. Meanwhile, Klonoa was mesmerized by the view of Jakarta city from the back seat, this city was a huge place after all (from his perspective of course), and he also didn't mind the traffic jams at all. Every view of Jakarta that Klonoa saw from his eyes, was amusing to him, while Guntz didn't enjoy this place like Klonoa did, the further the car went to South Jakarta, Guntz could see there were no more slums place just like Rama's neighborhood. The wolf instead sees many tall buildings, people who dress and live more properly than he just saw a few days earlier, and many fancy houses that are ten times better than Rama's.
What the fuck is this place?! Guntz on his thoughts shocked.
Klonoa who accidentally saw Guntz have a very pissed face looking at the view of Jakarta from the mirror could already tell that he doesn't like this place at all and really want to get back to their original world immediately. Klonoa also wants to go home to Breezegale, Phantomile as soon as possible, but there's gotta be a reason why he, Guntz, and Pango got transported to Rama's world. The reason he must find out by asking Pango himself since they both didn't remember anything how they got here in the first place. For that, Klonoa must stay a little bit longer here to find an answer.
After about 2-3 hours trip (because the traffic in Jakarta was one of the worst in the world, especially on weekends), they all finally arrived at Ragunan Zoo. Before they entered the Zoo, they all stopped at a nearby stall to get some breakfast. Rama and Sinta decided to eat Chicken Porridge (in Indonesian is called Bubur Ayam), it is a rice congee with shredded chicken meat served with some condiments, such as chopped scallion, crispy fried shallot, celery, and topped with yellow chicken broth and kerupuk (Indonesian-style crackers). For Indonesians, this was common food to eat especially for breakfast, while Klonoa and Guntz, they both confused about what the food looked like. It is like a warm soup but more condensed with many toppings they have never seen before. At first, they both look disgusted, but Rama and Sinta convince them this is a delicious food and they gonna love it. Klonoa took the first spoon to taste it, he was shocked by the texture for the first time but surprisingly the taste was not bad at all. He took the second spoon, still shocked but getting used to it, the third spoon already started to like it, then the fourth spoon he ate the food with vigor and incredible speed.
The way Klonoa eats starts getting attention from nearby customers, Rama and Sinta start to get embarrassed, and Guntz who just put the first spoon in his mouth already doesn't like this food texture by giving a loud gag. The behavior of these two creatures already makes some of the customers pissed off and start talking bad things about them. What a really annoying day for Rama and Sinta.
After they all enjoyed their meal (especially Klonoa who also ate Guntz's food since he didn't like it), they all entered the zoo and started searching for Pango. From the video that Sinta saw on her TikTok, the cage was located near the bear's area (since Pango has a big body just like a bear). Not for long they found the cage their looking for, luckily there were no people around that cage and they all could see a giant pangolin wearing green clothes seat in the corner of the cage with a sad face. Klonoa who was already so excited to meet his friend immediately ran towards the cage.
"PANGO!! PANGO!!" Klonoa said with a happy face while running towards the cage.
"Kl…..KLONOA?! GUNTZ?!" Pango couldn't believe what he saw.
Klonoa reached the cage and hugged Pango's arm from outside, although he could not hug Pango entirely, he was still glad to find out that Pango was okay.
"Oh Klonoa, Guntz, I'm so glad you found me and you guys are okay," Pango said from inside the cage with a happy and joyful face. "Who's that by the way?" He continued by looking at two people behind them.
"Oh this is Rama and Sinta, they help us to find you in the first place. In fact, they both saved us when we just arrived here." Klonoa explained his human friends.
"Thank you for taking care of Klonoa and Guntz." Pango thanks the human.
"You're welcome," Rama said.
"No problem." Sinta added.
"Oh yeah Pango, now we are all already here, can you remember how we got here in the first place?" Klonoa asked.
"I'm not sure Klonoa, but the last thing that I remember is, we were making an oath, weren't we?" Pango starts to get his memory back.
"Oh yeah, we were making an oath!" Guntz also starting to get remembered.
"Yes, we were about to go our separate ways after defeating Nahatomb. So we made an oath that we'd always be partners, and if one of us were in need, we'd be there for support." Pango finally regains his memory back.
"Right, I do remember now," Guntz added
"What do you remember Guntz?" Klonoa asked.
"The last thing that I remembered before arrived here, there was this big light, and all of sudden I was already in this place," Guntz said.
"Okay, but how will we learn of how we got here? Pango asked.
Klonoa also kind of remembers how he got transported here, but he's not sure how he gonna say it. "Umm…guys…" He said while looking down at his ring. "There's something that I….."
"Eeeekkk!!! What are you two doing here?!" A mysterious voice came from behind that made all of them turn around to see……..
"What the?!" Rama shocked.
"Huh?!" Sinta was also shocked.
Klonoa and Guntz who saw where the voice came from just make them start to get raged. It was a round creature with only hands and feet that were unattached to its body. It was colored like a clown, its eyes and grinning mouth barely changed with every word and expression it made, and the creature's size was barely bigger than an inflated ball.
"JOKA!!" Both of them screamed with angered faces, it was no other than Joka the Clown, the nemesis from their world.
"Damn you Joka! Why won't you just fucking die already?!" Guntz already gets raged.
"How'd you find this big guy? I thought I already hid him somewhere he could never be found!" Joka is already pissed.
"So it was you who locked Pango in the cage!!" Klonoa yelled at the clown.
"Looks like you already found out kiddo," Joka admitted. "But I'm afraid you and your friend must join the big guy……..NOW!!" Joka said while doing his magic trick and aim toward Klonoa and Guntz.
Both of them can dodge the attack and Joka's magic tricks hit cage that makes it suddenly disappear out of nowhere then instantly free Pango.
"Eeekk!!! Look what you did fools!! My magic trick is gone!! Just so you wait, I will make this pathetic city suffer and nobody could stop me from doing it!! Joka said before snapping his finger and disappearing.
Rama and Sinta who saw this just could not believe what they had just seen, another odd creature appeared again and it looked like come from Klonoa's world.
"Explanation please?!" Sinta shocked
"What is really going on Klonoa?!" Rama added.
"Guys, ……………there is something I like to talked to," Klonoa said.
