Calio: Mmmmm!
???: Shush... Shush...
[Ray, look around the place going from bushes to bushes]
Raymond: Calio! where are you!
[Calio was pulled inside bushes by someone, while Raymond still searching for him. Then a tree nearby change form to Calio]
Calio clones: Ray! I'm here, sorry I fell down
Raymond: Oh thank god... You scare me, Syah going to kill me if I come back without you
???: Thank you, Dyna...
Calio: Mmmm?!
???: Calm yourself, kid...
[He releases his grip and let Calio free. Calio turn around to see who's]
Calio: Syah?
Syah: Phew... You didn't lose it yet, Dyna keep an eye on him I going to explain to him now
Dynamite: Sure...
Calio: What happened here?! I thought you guys already freed him from Jeste-
[Syah put his hand onto Calio mouth]
Syah: Shush! Don't speak of the name you going to expose us!
Calio: ...
Syah: Most of the thing that he said is the truth... But he still under his control, we manage to cut the string that made him connect but most of the strings still intact
Calio: Isn't the string made out of steel that can't be cut by anything?
Syah: How you know all of this?
Calio: Lucky guess?
Syah: ... Whatever we don't time for this, follow me
[Syah pull Calio out of the bushes while Dynamite following Ray]
Syah: Welcome to my true lab
Calio: Woah (This looks like the old lab, but rather act surprised so he wouldn't suspect anything)
Syah: Amazing right? (...ecalP ...sihT ...wonK ...ydaerlA ...uoY ...hguohT ...nevE)
Calio: ...
Syah: Is anything wrong?
[Calio hold his head]
Calio: (What did I just hear)
Syah: Kid, you ok?
Calio: I'm fine...
Syah: I'm sorry that you have to experience that... Let me explain, You die...
Calio: I'm, what?!
Syah: You die... 2 weeks ago
Calio: But I'm still here...
Syah: I Was confused for a second too but... Then you said that names, the peoples that I rather forget...
Calio: So why you kept me in the containment?!
Syah: I-I was too afraid to tell them that you die...
Calio: So was all of that to trick Frog and Ray away?!
Syah: Heh, you still got the sharp eyes as him...
Calio: What you mean?!
Syah: You can drop the act you're not him kid...
Calio: I don't understand anything!
Syah: Have you consider wondering why I call you kid, instead of your name!
Calio: ...
Syah: I failed... I don't deserve you...
[everything when silence then Calio breaks the silence]
Calio: Heh, hehe, hahaha
Syah: What you laughing about?!
[He continue laughing]
Syah: Quit it!
[Calio still continues laughing... Syah hold his fist and for the first time he activated his power]
Syah: "Celcius up"
[The place started to heat up everything around them started to melt... Every water particle around them started to vaporize, creating steam... Syah manipulated the steam, Coiling it around his arm creating a giant version of his arm made out of steam. He grabs Calio by his neck and lifting him]
Calio: So... *Ugh* This is... your power... That you kept secret... Huh?
Syah: Ceh...
[Syah gripping him even tighter... But Syah can't bring himself to do it, he releases Calio]
Calio: *Cough* *Cough* Come on! What you doing just *Cough* Kill me already!
Syah: ...
Calio: You can fix everything if you... Do... It...
Syah: Even though you ain't him but you still the same person
Calio: Same person? Same person!! I'm... I'm nothing... I'm not a son of a king nor a powerful Elementalist... I'm just a normal person... Heh, funny that I got this power by some random chance, it's been a curse to me... I was stupid thinking that I'm a superhero after I got the power but because of it... My parent has gone missing, my life has been ruined, I been target by everyone who wanted to get hold to this power... Not just that I even hold you back... I'm weak even after I got this power
Syah: ...
[Syah walk toward Calio and hug him]
Syah: I see now... I see the reason why you here... You're alone, aren't you... I'm sorry...
Calio: I'm a failure...
Syah: We may be a failure... But look like there's still a chance to continue...
[That there stay like that for a while then]
Raymond: *Sigh* So you doing this, just because he doesn't trust him?
Dynamite: Yep... I know it weird right saying something about he being posses or something
[Ray, open the door and quickly close the door]
Dynamite: Hmm? Why you close the door
Raymond: Shhhh!
Dynamite: What, what happened?!
Raymond: Nothing, let's just go
Dynamite: Go where?! This is where we live
Raymond: Just, let's get back to the fake house
Dynamite: Goddamn it! I'm tired of sleeping there!
[They walk away from the actual lab]
[That night, at the true lab they having dinner]
Dynamite: Syah... Explain...
Syah: Hmm? Explain what?
Dynamite: Don't you "what" me!
Syah: What did I do this time!
Dynamite: You elaborate a plan saying that Calio is been posses and trick him so you can talk to him alone
Syah: Yea, so?
Dynamite: Why don't you just talk to him!
Syah: It's not fun if I do that
Dynamite: Syah... This is why you're the worst leader
Syah: Like you could do better
Dynamite: Yes I can, because I know the basic way of thinking
Syah: Hey, At least I don't a memory of a fish
[They continue arguing while Calio watching them in meantime Raymond eating peacefully right beside Calio]
Raymond: They very close right?
Calio: Yea... (If you count that as friendly conversation)
Raymond: It's a good thing nothing happen to you...
[Calio silently looks around Raymond he barely sees the strings wrap around Raymond, then he remind what Syah said after everything... "At the end of this month, he will come and try to take back Raymond... We must get ready for the attack"]
Calio: (This is the same as the carnival attack I guess something doesn't change even if you in a different dimension)
[After they finish everything Syah when sleeping on the sofa while Raymond and Dynamite sleeping in their own room... Calio has to sleep in Syah's room because he doesn't allow him to sleep in the other Calio's room, he wants to keep that as a memory]
