Fang bend his body forward a bit to see. In the vision,it shows Kaizo is being held by Lahap and other aliens as Kaizo grab Tapops most professional physician collar in a threatening way. Everything was happening too fast, until Laksamana Tarung come in and stop the commotion.

"He cares about you more than you think," Rui said as he made the visions vanish.

"... I... I never knew..." Fang's muttered under his voice.

"Now you do. Look, your brother is a jerk, I won't deny that. But some people show their care in different ways. You're his last family. If he lost you, won't you think he'll blame himself?" Rui asks, his casual voice dropped to a serious tone.

Fang look down, thinking about something. He bit his lips and sighs before asking-

"... Why are you so persistent on waking me up?"

"Well, first because my Queen told me to. Second, I need your approval to join Tapops," Rui reply confidently.

"... Why would you want to join Tapops?"

"Because of My Queen?" Rui reply.

"... And who is your Queen?"

"Ying. "

Fang pressed his lips into a thin line.

"... You can't find anyone better to call your Queen?" Fang muttered.

"What was that?"

"Nothing."

"Anyways so basically, you have to wake up," Rui said as he began to stand up.

"Wait- how's my look? I mean... Do I still look the same or did Reverse took my appearance?" Fang asks.

"Well, your reverse took your left eye which I covered with an eye patch. You can just put contact lenses or whatever later. And your hair is starting to have strand of Reverse hair. Though it looks like you dye your hair," Rui reply with a shrug

"Alright, okay, yeah, that's fine. Wait- so will I be fine?" Fang asks again.

"Physically? Yup. Mentally? Depends. I mean..." Rui turns to look at the chained Reverse "as long as the three layered barriers around that creature didn't shatter and he broke off his chains, yup. You're completely fine,"

"Don't you got any advice I can use?" Fang stands up, following Rui.

" Advices? No. Sometimes there's just things you can't control and sometimes there's things you can control," Rui reply with a smirk.

"Your reverse is still controllable. But lose to your negative emotions and he'll become unstoppable. Even I can't heal Reverse," Rui said, maybe Fang's imagining it, but he swore he saw Rui eyes looks upset when he stated that.

"Anyways, I've spent too much time in your conscienceness. Just wake up soon will ya?" Rui asks as he looks at Fang.

Fang thought for a while, before signing. "You're right. I'll wake up. Wait- but how?"

"Like this?" Rui flicked Fang's forehead.

•••

"Huh!" Fang suddenly sat up, awoken from his deep slumber.

Rui stands beside him, looking like a professional physician.

"Do you really have to do that?" Fang asks with a grunt.

"No, but I have a feeling it's a chance I can't miss," Rui reply with a smirk.

"Anyways, you need to rest for a few days, your limbs are still weak for weeks of sleeping," Rui reply.

"Then—"

Bang!!

Kaizo and The Kokotiam Squad kicked the door open.

"... You know there's something called knocking, right?" Rui deadpanned, though none of them hear him.

"Fang!" The Kokotiam Geng shoved Rui aside to check on their friend.

"Rude." Rui rolled his eyes. Turns out, they storm in right after hearing Fang's voice.

"How's his condition?" Masksmana asks as he strode into the room.

"Perfectly stable. But I'll advise not to stress him too much or force him too much. His limbs are still weak so I advised to rest for a few days. Also don't force him to eat to much since his digestive system is just starting their work again," Rui reply.

"Thank you. We really appreciate your help," Commander Kokochi reply and Rui nods.

"Haiya Fang! Do you know how long you've been asleep for?!" Ying asks.

"Huhuhuhuhu~! I've missed you sooo much Fang! Why does it take you so long to wake up?!" Gopal whines as he hug Fang tightly.

"Eww get away Gopal! Your snot is getting to me!!" Fang shoved Gopal away.

"Thank god you're fine Fang. Are you hurt anywhere?" Yaya asks.

"Nope. I don't feel hurt at all,"

"That's good. We were so worried about you," BoBoiBoy said.

"Gopal kept asking when you'll wake up that I grew tired of answering," Ochobot said with a sigh.

"Dey! I did not!"

"You definitely do," BoBoiBoy, Yaya, Ying and Ochobot voice combine.

Kaizo, who's been standing beside Fang's bed frame let out a sigh of relieve, though it's so quiet barely nobody hears.

Out of nowhere, Kaizo raised his hand and pat Fang's head." I'm glad you're fine,"

Fang was shocked but didn't pull away. He did look kinda embarrassed though.

"Good job Rui, if it weren't for you we wouldn't know what to do," Laksamana Tarung said.

"Hate to ruin this lovely moment but I'm from Ryverse. And we don't do things for free," Rui said with a smirk.

"What do you need?" Kaizo asks, his hand still patting Fang's head but his voice is stern.

"Easy, I wanted to join Tapops to be with My Queen," Rui reply.

"And I've told you that decision lays on Fang's hand," Commander Kokochi said.

"Ugh, control your knight Ying!" Gopal said.

"What? He's just asking to join," Ying reply with a smirk.

"So, what do you think Fang? Will you let him join?" BoBoiBoy asks.

"You don't have to answer now if you're still unsure," Kaizo said, his voice somewhat softened.

"I... Alright. Since people of Ryverse never do things for free, that's at least a payment I can give. Rui of Ryverse, you're accepted to Tapops and you'll be joining my team. Is that alright?" Fang asks.

Commander Kokochi, Laksamana Tarung, Masksmana and even Kaizo nods. Agreeing to Fang's decision.

Rui smirks. 'This will be a very fun journey~' he thought to himself.
