"Excuse me but, what is a goat?" She innocently asked them, her eyes sparkling in seriousness while she glanced at each one of the male superhero trio. The three paused from their conversation, craning their heads towards the curious Glamouran elf with blank expressions. Gopal shifted slightly to Fang and Boboiboy before whispering to them. "So... Are we going to answer her or not?" The tallest superhero began, not making any effort to change the look on his face.

None of the two answered which was the cue for Gopal to do it for them instead. As he fixed his throat, he approached the female elf with all of his confidence. "Ah. You see here Y/n, a 'GOAT' is a slang we use to describe someone who performs well or is amazing at what they do. It is the acronym for 'Greatest of All Time'," Gopal grinned, raising a finger while educating the female elf who just nodded her head multiple times in understanding.

"Fascinating... Is that so?" Y/n thought deeply while putting a hand on her chin. "Haiyah, that's the wrong goat lah!" Boboiboy intervened with a questioning gaze being darted to his older friend. "Heh, why am I not even surprised?" The shadow manipulator rolled his eyes before crossing his arms once again with an attitude. "Dey, I just provided what I can. It's not my fault you two can't explain better than I am," Gopal flipped his imaginary hair.

"What did you say!?" Fang was enraged while Boboiboy was in disbelief. "EEK! Help me, Y/n!" Gopal soon hid behind the clueless elf who just watched the puzzling scene on display for her. "Does that mean Gopal is a GOAT at explaining?" The confused Glamouran began out of curiosity, it seems like she will never stop asking.

"No," Boboiboy and Fang disagreed at the same time.

Before Gopal could defend himself, they were suddenly called by the gravity manipulator. "Guys! Hurry up! We're here already," Yaya flew to them before gesturing for the four to follow where she was heading to. "Huh? Really?" Boboiboy, Fang and Gopal turned to her in unison while Y/n silently watched them. "Huh-uh, let's go!" She confirmed before zooming in the direction she came from. "She wants us to follow her but she's flying so fast!" Gopal complained while jogging from behind the female hero.

The four teenagers managed to arrive at the new place with fewer trees. They only noticed how the elevation was suddenly so high that they could nearly touch the clouds if they jump vertically. Many debris was on the ground while some rocks were randomly surrounding the place. It was the mysterious ruins that Mayumi told them about. The Lluminarian found out how the divine figure was not lying to them about the discomforting feeling the place gives off.

Y/n couldn't explain how she was feeling, but she seemed to feel the literal opposite of good from her stomach. As they had a look around, Ying couldn't help but comment. "This place feels... odd," The time manipulator began as she studied the rocks. "If the goat man is around then I'll just have to moonwalk away here," Gopal joked but he was ignored by everyone else, finding his joke unnecessary. Echo flew into a place where it seemed like a small podium.

There was a half pillar in the middle but there were no signs of the Gem of Leaf anywhere. "Where's the artefact?" Boboiboy was confused, noticing how the air bird led them to an empty pillar where the final gem would naturally be at. "Do you sense anything, Y/n?" The shadow manipulator turned to the Glamouran elf in wonder. The female teenager could only shake her head slowly, feeling nervous suddenly.

"I... I cannot," she admittedly told them in guilt which became a surprise for everyone else that all of them gasped. "What!? Then where could it be, it can't end like this!" Gopal began crying out, leaning back at a huge rock for support as he continued his dramatic act. "Are you sure, Y/n?" Yaya frowned at the artefact bearer, concerned genuinely for her. "Unfortunately, this area is only giving me discomfort," the elf continued with a sigh.
