Chapter 29 : Bruh, Wrong Time! (1)
In Search of Him!
The bell on the door chimed loudly, announcing that a client had come to the store. The inside store was messy. Leftover irons and cable were everywhere, lying on the floor or hanging from the ceiling. Various tools were also scattered to every corner of the room.
A woman walked through the door in her casual clothes, a white t-shirt and long black pant. Her black hair wasn't her usual pony tailed style, instead she tied her hair into bun. She wore the glasses that made her blue eyes a little bit shaper, giving you the vibe of an intelligent woman.
"Galang?" She called out.
A rustling sound answered her instead. Metal clanking with metal echoed in the store as its getting closer to her and then a thud and a yelp.
"Ouch!"
A teenager emerged from the store's backroom. His appearance was dishevelled with his hair unfurled in every direction. Several part of his face also covered in black smoke given that he was repairing his order.
Galang's beamed as he saw the person who called out to him, "Hey, Aura! It's you!"
Aura softly smiled at him, "Yeah, it's me."
He peeked to behind her, "Where's Ronien?"
"Busy."
"What's bring you here, then?" Galang dusted off the dust from his clothes while still smiling to her.
Instead of answering, Aura reached for her pant pocket and pulled out the broken power watch from her pocket. Upon seeing the item, Galang's eyes widened before he looked at her.
"Is that...?" He whispered.
"This is the power watch. We actually did it, Galang. We succesfuly retrieved this power watch without any problem from that elemental hero days ago." Aura explained as she gave the power watch to him.
Galang accepted and started to inspect it closely. The screen cracked badly that you could see the inside of that power watch and there were so many rips on the strap.
"I heard from big sis Hikari that the power watch was thrown into the rushing river and broke. Sadly, I don't understand a thing about this feature no matter how many times I read every book about technology feature." She sighed before gazed expectantly to Galang.
"You can repair this, right?"
Galang was still inspecting the power watch in his hand. Eyes squinting in full concentration as he fumbled around with the power watch. Aura watched him anxiously, shifting from her foot to another.
Unexpectedly, Galang beamed at her, "I think I can try!"
Aura sighed in relief before rolling her eyes at the next statement he said.
Galang winked at her, "Do you have the money right now?"
"Yes, we have. But, boss want you to repair it first before we give you the money." And she continued, "Oh! And he also want the report in the afterwards."
"Whaaat?! No, you can't! The money should be by the time you give me the item you want me to repaired!" Galang gaped at her.
Aura shrugged in ignorance, "Accept the condition or there will be no money for you."
"Tsk. Fine, fine.. Come tomorrow at noon." Galang sent her away from his store in annoyance, heart fluttered warmly at Aura's satisfied smile.

Ice burped after he ate the last bite of his chocolate sundae. He glanced to Tok Aba's Ice Chocolate drink and took a sip of it while humming in satisfaction as the coldness and the delicacy slid down to his throat.
He happily swayed his legs on his seat in the cafetaria. Beside him, Halilintar glanced at him from the corner of his eyes as he took a bite of his curry.
Previously, he only ordered for his usual dark coffee, but Gempa disapproved it and told him to ask something more nutritious. Not like they really need it, however it's Gempa, they can't really refuse him.
Halilintar looked down to his curry. It taste fine... he liked it. But, Gempa's and Tok Aba's cooking were somewhat better, though.
"Hali, can I ask for another Tok Aba's Ice Chocolate drink?" Ice asked him.
Halilintar immediately rejected, "No."
Despite the quick rejection, Ice still asked for another, ignoring the growl directed to him from Halilintar.
"You'll get fat if you drink another, Ice. It's already the fifth time you drink Tok Aba's drink and the seventh time you eat that sundae." Halilintar warned.
Ice sipped his drink before smirking, "Too late."
And he took another sip while staring at Halilintar's face smugly. Halilintar was getting pissed off and choosed to shove the curry to his mouth. On that time too, Blaze came to their table with Taufan in tow.
Blaze excitedly told them, "I saw them did flambÄ trick while cooking this steak! The fire was reaally big! Right, Taufan?!"
Taufan nodded his head eagerly as he sat acrossed from Halilintar. His choosen meal for lunch was honey walnut shrimp with rice and milkshake bubblegum for drink.
"The way that chef flipped the steak in the air was really amazing!" Taufan was awestruck when he remembered the action.
"Nah! The big fire he produced when he lifted the pan was more amazing!" Blaze spoke with a mouthful of steak from his position in front of Ice.
Halilintar and Ice only watched them chatting with each other from acrossed those two in silent. It wasn't like they didn't want to join them. They just want to cherish the lack of mischievousness from the Trio Troublemaker for today because situation like this is really rare.
From the corner of those two eyes, they saw Gempa walking up to them. Taufan seemed to also realized the earth elemental presence not far from them.
"Gempa!" Taufan waved at Gempa from their table.
Gempa smiled before sit himself down beside Ice, "Hey, Taufan."
Ice stared at his hand that holding a cup of tea, "You're not gonna eat, Gempa?"
Gempa shook his head, "I'm not hungry yet, Ice. How about you? Have you already eaten?"
"He already ate seven ice cream sundaes and five Tok Aba's chocolate drink." Ice glared at Halilintar for interfering.
Gempa gave Ice a disapproval stare as Blaze suddenly slammed his hands to the table and pointing at Ice, "You drink five Tok Aba's chocolate drink?!"
"Yes." Ice looked at him from under his hat.
Blaze and Taufan stared at each other, unmoving before dashed to the cafetaria counter, asking for Tok Aba's chocolate drink.
Staring at those two, Gempa could only sighed and shook his head side to side. Halilintar continued to eat the last bite of his curry, uncaring for those duo troublemaker.
"By the way, where are Solar and Thorn?" He asked as he sipped his glass of water to rinse his mouth.
"Well, after coming out from the meeting room, Thorn dragged Solar to the greenhouse room to plant the flower seeds he bought at Planet Umbra that time." After that, Gempa softly blew on his hot tea before taking a sip.
Halilintar hummed in understanding. He stood up, grabbed his food tray and made his way to the counter. On his way there, he passed by the duo troublemaker with their own Tok Aba's Ice chocolate drink in their grasp.
But, it's not their chocolate drink what caught his attention. It's the people they were talking to.
He saw Blaze and Taufan chatting with the Kokotaim Gang while grinning with sparkle in their eyes. Halilintar clicked his tongue. It wasn't like he hated those humans and alien, considering they are Boboiboy's friends, but he didn't like them because he think that they might be a bunch of nuisances to them.
___________________________________________
Thorn hummed as he carefully set down the Blue Lithodora seed to the hole he made at the center of the pot he already filled with soil that was mixed by fertilizer. Once he set the seed down in the hole, he burried the seed at least within the depth of his pinky finger.
"Lithodora diffusa or usually called as 'Heavenly Blue' is a species of
flowering plant in the family Boraginaceae. The ancient Greek term lithodora literally means 'stone gift', referring to its preferred habitat. Diffusa means 'spreading', and refers to the plant's growth habit." Solar was beside him explaining about the lithodora flower scientifically.
Thorn pouted in sadness, "If only Thorn could buy the Blue Lithops Flower even though it's only for a display the seller put up in front of his vendor."
Solar sweatdropped, "Well.. the seller did say that the flower was to attract people attention so they would buy the flower seeds and plant it at their house. Doesn't Thorn always want people to take care of plants?"
"That's true! Thorn always gets angry everytime people ignoring a dying plants near them!" Thorn puffed his cheeks, trying to make himself look angry when in fact it made him cuter.
Solar chuckled at Thorn before the emergency alarm suddenly blared loudly the same time they heard an explosion from the outside. From the window, they saw smoke spreading in the air from the right side of their current location.
"An attack?!" Solar gritted his teeth.
"Attention! We are currently under attack! I repeat! We are currently under attack! To all agents that still wounded because of the last battle please evacuate immediately! And to all agents that can fight on the front line, please come to the control room!"
The two elementals inside the green house looked at each other before sprinting outside. On their way, they met up with the other five elementals from the cafetaria direction.
"Who's attacking us?!" Blaze scowled as they ran through the busy corridor.
Thorn pouted, "Thorn didn't even have enough time to watering Thorn's new plant!"
Solar clicked his tongue to answer Blaze's question, "We couldn't see from the green house since the explosion came from 90 degree clockwise rotation of our previous location."
Taufan glanced at him weirdly, "..Huh??"
"He meant that the explosion came from the front since we met those two from our left." Gempa explained as he pointed to the direction they're running to with his chin.
Halilintar huffed, "If so, then just say it normally! We don't need a brain warm up before fighting."
Solar rolled his eyes at him, "Brain warm up is good before fighting since we need to think a good strategy to beat up our enemy with no hassle."
"Whatever, I feel like losing my already little braincells everytime I'm talking to you." Blaze complained as they made a turn to the control room.
Ice then sighed as mist coming out from his mouth, "They really choose a wrong time to attack us."
Their expression darkened before Gempa firmly announced with steady gaze to the front, "Let's show their consequences to those who dare to attack us at such time."
Blaze grinned at that, "Yosh! I'll make sure to burn them down!"
___________________________________________
The door slid open and the Kokotaim gang rushed inside. They stopped in front their commander and quickly saluted to their higher ups.
"Our team has arrive, commander!" Fang saluted to their short commander.
Commander Kokoci nodded at them, "Very well, Lance Corporal Fang. Now, we only have to wait for the elementals to come."
On cue, the door slid open and Blaze rushed in with his eyes literally lit up in flame. The others in the room could only stared at his eagerness in amusement.
"Where?! Where are those evil aliens that I have to burn?!" He wildly glanced around the control room.
The other elementals finally reached the room. Ice stopped, put both his hands on his knee and he bent forward while catching his breath.
"I.. hah... Le-let's.. huff... not run.. haa.. again.. haah... next time.." He panted loudly.
Halilintar raised an eyebrow at him, "See? You're gaining weight again, Ice. I told you to stop eating those sweet before, right?"
"'Eits, perut jangan main.'" Taufan cackled with Blaze when he saw the cold glare directed to him from the ice elemental.
Gempa shushed them before walking forward, "Commander, I have a feeling that you'll need us in this."
"Thank you, Gempa. We really appreciate your cooperation." Commander Kokoci nodded at them in gratitude.
And then the second explosion occured, causing the station to trembled from the big force. They quickly got into their battle stances before a hologram appeared from the front. Ejo Jo appeared with his annoying square green head and smirk at them.
"Ejo Jo?!" Mostly everyone in that control room shouted in surprise or anger.
Ejo Jo laughed, "Yes, it's me! Finally, I recovered from the last time we fought. And now, I will avenge my revenge to you with my new robots, Boboiboy! And also, I will take your power spheres! Hahahaha!"
After the signature evil laugh, he disappeared and leaving the room to became silent. Processing his words, Admiral Tarung turned to the Kokotaim gang and the elementals.
"You have fought him before?!" Admiral Tarung asked them.
Ying nodded, "A few years ago on earth, admiral."
"He came to the earth with the same reason as Adu Du. He wanted the cocoa energy from Tok Aba's chocolate and took our power watches." Fang's statement caused their eyes to widened.
Gopal muttered, "At least, he helped us learn more about our power."
"But, Boboiboy managed to get our power watches back with Adu Du's help." Yaya helped them explain the situation of their fight with Ejo Jo.
"Why you didn't tell me about this, Fang?" Captain Kaizo asked with his eyes narrowed.
Fang stuttered at the expression on Captain Kaizo's face, "Uh.. I forgot, captain."
Blaze tsk-ed, "What's with bad aliens and their square head?! They all really annoyed me."
Commander Kokoci looked at him flatly.
Blaze nervously grinned, "You're an exception, commander. What I meant is green square head aliens, hehe."
Again, Commander Kokoci looked at him flatly.
"Err.. square head aliens without the double glasses...?"
Thorn tilted his head to the side, "Isn't the square head part is still the same?"
Blaze turned to him, "Do you ever see any aliens that attack us randomly have other shape than square?"
"Captain Separo, Vargoba, and Retak'ka?" Taufan chirped.
"For Retak'ka, we agree that he's only a noseless monkey space, so don't bring him up to this. And the others look like a square to me." Blaze crossed his arms.
Solar mumbled, "Where'd he got that logic from?"
Ice sighed while Halilintar glanced at Gempa, ignoring those troublemaker. He stared expectantly at Gempa.
"Your order, Gempa?"
Gempa, still staring where the previous hologram appeared, immediately commanded, "Thorn, Taufan. You guys guarded the power spheres room. Thorn, make as much as leave traps you can create and Taufan will be your defense. Taufan, protect Thorn from those robots as he create the leave traps in front of the power sphere room."
Thorn and Taufan saluted, "Aye aye, captain!"
They rushed outside as Gempa made another command, "Blaze, Ice, you're with me. We'll take on the robots that infiltrated this station."
Ice sighed again while Blaze cheered loudly, "Hell yeah!"
"Halilintar, Solar, you guys fight Ejo Jo.." Gempa leaned closely at them with his warm and kind smile, "I swear if you guys fight in the middle of the battle, I'll let Giga trap you both for the entire day. Clear?"
Halilintar and Solar felt cold sweat pouring down because of Gempa's threat, "Ye-yes, Gempa."
Gempa leaned back with satisifed smile, "Good."
"Admiral, we're ready to receive your order." Fang saluted.
"Captain Kaizo, you and your brother help them fight Ejo Jo with us. Yaya and Ying will destroy as many as robots they can with Ramenman and Admiral Agura on our way outside. Gopal, you will guard the power sphere room with Thorn and Taufan. Understand?!" Admiral Tarung shouted.
"Yes, admiral!"
"Let's go, now!"
___________________________________________
"I can't believe Gempa paired me up with you." Halilintar muttered as he gave a sharp look to Solar.
"Do you think I'm not upset too, Tsundere brother?" Solar retorted, also returning the sharp look of his own.
Halilintar sneered, pissed off with the nickname the others keep calling him, "I'm not a tsundere, Lightbulb."
Solar smirked, "Say that again after you remember that one time you secretly got jealous when Boboiboy hug the Trio Troublemaker."
His face became even more smug as he saw Halilintar's cheeks turned red in embarassment. Halilintar quickly looked to him, snarling as he said the statement that got the light elemental to also blushed in embarassment.
"No, I'm not! And do you think you're not a tsundere yourself? You also got jealous when those trio received a hat pat from Boboiboy!" Halilintar snarled.
"Well, at least, I'm not that obvious!" Solar bit back.
"Are you admitting that you were indeed jealous?"
"No."
Behind them, the TAPOPS agents only stared at their back silently, not knowing what to do. This is probably the first time some of them saw the two strongest elementals fought with each other over silly thing.
Fang sighed, "There they goes again."
"Again?" Admiral Amato looked to their only Lance Corporal agent in confusion.
"Those two always fight with each other whenever they have time, admiral." Fang elaborated.
Before he could ask another question, a laser shot on their way. They dodged and realized that they were surrounded with robots.
Then, a long metallic whip struck down, destroying half of the robots army that blocking their way to the outside easily.
"Everyone, go! I'll handle the robots here." Admiral Agura smirked at them as she walked to the front confidently.
Yaya and Ying, "We'll help!"
Admiral Tarung nodded at them, "We trust you in this. Everyone, let's go!"
Solar observed the robots around them with complicated expression as he ran through the corridor as admiral ordered. Something is wrong with the feature..
Halilintar took notice of Solar's deep thinking expression. He followed Solar's line of sight and raised his brow in confusion when he only saw the robots that surrounding them.
"Anything bothering you, Smarty pant?" Halilintar tapped his shoulder.
His question caught everyone attention and they stared at the two elementals in curiousity.
Solar hummed, "Something just bothering me with all this robots. They just.. destroyed so easily. I mean it's Ejo Jo we're talking about here, so it shouldn't be this easy. You know squared head aliens are just full of mischievousness."
Captain Kaizo widened his eyes before he inspected the destroyed robots behind them more closely. It's indeed true, the robots part were destroyed very cleanly. No small remnants of the robots were seen. It seemed the others are also on the same page as him. Too suspicious.
Halilintar snorted at that, "I just hope this time he doesn't have any robots that have weird name."
"You mean 'P.E.T.A.I'?" Solar cackled and it caused Halilintar to lowered his hat to hid his twitching lips.
"Goodness, give me a break." Halilintar threw his head back, groaning.
Fang looked at Solar weirdly, "Wait, weren't you not yet unlocked by Boboiboy that time? How do you know that?"
Solar looked back at him, grinning, "That doesn't mean that I wasn't there to see all of you from the power watch."
"Then-"
"I've been watching since you guys ten." Solar's smile turned into a smirk, "Ahh, so many embarassing memories I saw."
Solar then morphed his expression into a cute one with flowers blooming around him, almost the same as Thorn's UwU face, just a little bit dramatic. His eyes behind the orange visor visibly sparkle as he put the back of his hand on his forehead.
He then leaned to Halilintar while running, "Hatiku bagaikan kacang~"
Fang gaped as his ears turned red. Halilintar covered his mouth to stiffle his laugh as he shoved Solar away from him. Captain Kaizo only watched them in confusion, the same with the others.
"Stop that!" Fang snapped, but Solar's loud laugh caused the voice to fell into deaf ears.
Their little bickering couldn't last long as another army of robots appeared in front of them. When they made a turn to the left, they also faced with another army of robots, the same at the right turn.
"We're surrounded." Fang gritted his teeth.
Two thunderstorm swords appeared in Halilintar's hands. He walked to the front with his infamous sharp glare as he glared at the robots.
"All of you better move from our way." He growled.
Robots are robots, they didn't listen to another people other than their owner. Thus, the robots stubbornly came closer to them making Halilintar to get more annoyed.
"Back off. I need to end this faster." He turned to Solar who only rolled his eyes, but obeyed nonetheless.
The others stared in confusion at the thunder elemental who threw his thunderstorm blades to the robots.
"Pedang Halilintar Berganda![Multi Thunderstorm Blades!]" Halilintar threw dozens of thunderstorm Blades to those robots.
..It missed. Those blades instead pierced the station floor in various place between the robots. Admiral Gata scoffed in disbelief. Before he could make any remark, Solar beat him into it.
"Before you make any remark, admiral, I advice you to watch first until the end."
The robots continued to swarm forward, seeing that the attack didn't do any damage to them. Halilintar summoned another thunderstorm blade with a smirk on his face. The next second, he disappeared from his spot.
"What?!" Admiral Gata yelled.
"Look upward." They looked up when they heard Solar said that.
There he is, with his smirk and the thunderstorm blade.
"Take this, you bunch of metal chunks. Sambaran Halilintar![Thunderstorm Strike!]"
He rushed down and let the thunderstorm blade rub against the other thunderstorm blade that he threw to the robots. Immediately, a red electricity sparked from the thunderstorm blades around them, electrocuted the robots from all three directions.
The others watched in amazement as the robots army were destroyed just like that. Halilintar huffed and turned to their shock face smugly.
Solar clicked his tongue, "Tch, show off."
"Heh." Halilintar smirked.
Those two ran off with Fang, who already witnessed that attack when they fought Gijimo, leaving the TAPOPS agents behind them. They quickly snapped out of their daze state and ran after them.
After making turn and destroyed any robots on their way, they finally reached outside. Smoke everywhere and some of them covered their mouth to not breathe in the blackened gas.
"Hahaha! Finally, you're here, Boboiboy! And with that shadow friend of yours." Ejo Jo's laughter echoed in the open area.
Halilintar turned and saw Ejo Jo was standing alone behind them. He observed the area around them in wary as Admiral Tarung stood forward.
"Huh, you're alone, Ejo Jo?" He mocked.
Ejo Jo laughed, "Me? Alone? Didn't I tell you that I have another destructive robots?"
The gears in everyone brain worked hard to processed his words. Robot? They didn't see any robot out here, except for themselves.
Solar squinted his eyes, "Do you mean.. the robots inside the station?"
Ejo Jo turned to him before furrowing his eyebrows, "Another elemental, huh? A smart one at that. Whatever! New elemental or power, you won't be able to destroy my new robots! D.U.R.I.A.N!"
There was a heavy silence before it was broken by Solar and Fang sudden laugh. Halilintar facepalmed, but his shoulders were seen shaking badly. Admiral Amato snorted.
"It's D.U.R.I.A.N, Hali! D.U.R.I.A.N! That stinkiest fruit from earth!" Solar wheezed so hard that he started to cry.
"Shut up, Solar." Halilintar trembled which caused Solar to laugh harder, holding his stomach.
Fang wheezed as he pinched his nose, "I bet it's stinky."
Ejo Jo frowned in anger, "Are you underestimating my new robot?! D.U.R.I.A.N stand for Destructive Unit Robots Intersellar's Amanthanite Neutralize!"
Upon hearing the robot's name, everyone screamed in surprised, "Amanthanite?!"
"Hahahaha! Yes, my robots are made of Amanthanite! I will destroy this station together with you all! Robots! Merge!"
___________________________________________
"Semburan Berapi![Fire Breathe!]" A large fire breath emerged from Blaze's mouth, successfuly destroying the remaining robots in front of him.
Ice wiped the sweats that poured down to his face and he was also holding his ice bow in his icy hand. His cold baby blue eyes stared at the robot pieces on the ground, unmoving.
He looked back to Blaze, "That was the last robots army, Blaze."
The fire died down and Ice could see that Blaze was pouting, upset because his time to play around is up.
"Aww, man." Blaze whined as he looked around him
True to Ice's words, there were no robots army coming after Blaze's last attack. They were surrounded by remnants from the robots they've fought. Some were burnt and some were frozen. Not far from their location, Gempa was also seen on top of one of his two Gigas, trampling the robots to pieces underneath him.
Once he's done, he jumped down from Giga and walked closer to the duo opposite elements. The two Gigas immediately crumbled down the moment its master jumped down from its.
"Are you guys okay?" Gempa looked over at them worriedly.
Blaze puffed his chest, "Heh! They need to do more than that to make this mighty Blaze fall to his knees!"
Ice sighed at Blaze's over confidence. His opposite is too energetized at every battle they'd encountered. Where'd he get that much energy from?
As they waited for another robot army for precaution, the remnants of the robot shook. They gazed in disbelief as the remnants flew to the outside from the window, breaking the glasses as the result.
"What..?" Gempa quickly ran to the broken window.
He peered down and found that the remnants flew to the left side from their current location. His eyes widened as he realized that the direction it was heading is where the other who will fight Ejo Jo currently is.
Gempa quickly looked to his power watch and contact Solar. Immediately, Solar's face appeared on the hologram. Gempa became even more worried when he saw Solar's hardened expression to anything in front of him.
"Solar! We saw the robot's pieces flew outside. What's happening out there?!" Gempa urgently voiced out his concern.
Solar snapped out when he heard Gempa's voice. He looked to the hologram on his power watch and his face softened, although a little.
"It's Ejo Jo with.. his new robot." Solar coughed to stop the laugh that threatened to spill from his mouth, "They are made from Amanthanite and the robots that invade the station are actually parts of two big robots-"
Gempa felt the word spiral around him. Solar's voice was like a gust of wind passing his ears.
"-The admirals are trying to get themselves close to Ejo-"
"Stop him."
