"What are we gonna make?" Taufan hummed as he tapped his fingers on the table.
He glanced at Solar and Ice's table. They are smart in mind games, however they never step into a kitchen in their whole life. In short, they were lacking in cooking skill. And Blaze–
"Let's make fried fire!" Blaze bounced up and down at his suggestion.
Taufan stared at him with a weird expression. The others who heard that, immediately stared at Blaze like he's crazy.
"You can fried fire?" Fang asked, flabbergasted.
"That's imposible!" Ying and Yaya both yelled at the same time.
"It's possible if it's me." Blaze huffed.
"Is it even tasty?" Thorn innocently asked from the side.
Blaze scoffed. "Of course! This amazing taste buds know what best!"
"No, we're not gonna make that." Taufan quickly interfered when Blaze almost made the said fried fire.
"Why not?!"
"Duh, because we don't have fire resistance like you. Do you want the fried fire to burnt that tiger space mouth?" Taufan's voice got lower when he asked the question.
"Tiger space?"
"It's admiral."
"Pfft–" Blaze wheezed while Taufan only snorted at Blaze reaction. They bend forward and held their stomach as their shoulders trembled from the vibration of their uncontrolable laughs and giggles.
"Oh, is it because of his pattern?" Blaze wiped the tears away from his eyes.
"Yeah."
The others watched their interaction with each other with confusion. They couldn't heard what they were saying as the distance between the duo and them were really far.
Their ears only caught the muffle sound of their conversation. However, it's not that helping.
Well except for the elementals since their hearing were above normal humans being and aliens.
"Gempa, I wonder if I can resign from being an elemental power." Halilintar asked.
Gempa stared at him before opening his mouth. "If there is really one, Hali... I would already resign myself years ago."
"Wait, why are you guys suddenly talk about resigning from being an elemental power?" Yaya curiously looked at them.
The two only gazed at her from the corner of their eyes. Three pairs of eyes also looked at them in curiosity.
"We're to old to take care bunch of children." They simultaneously said with emotionless tone.

"Heh, it seems they are yet to decide what are they gonna cook." Solar wiped his orange visor with his handkerchief and wore it.
The visor reflected the light in the room as his lips pulled into a wide smirk.
"Therefore, this is our chance to finish first and get the highest score! Muahahaha!" Solar laughed loudly causing him to attracted the others attention to him except Thorn and Blaze.
"Now, what's wrong with him?" Commander Kokoci sighed.
"I swear staying here make me lose all of my braincells!" Halilintar scowled.
"It seems he's thinking about getting the highest score in this cooking test." Gempa sighed as he pinched the bridge of his nose.
Solar was actually the smartest of them all. He was strategic in making excelent plan with a low chance of failure. However, after the first time he was activated under Boboiboy control and met the other 'brothers' his act change drastically.
"I'm the smartest and most handsome elementals! No one can compared me mwuahahaha!"
Gempa shuddered visibly causing others near him to stared at him weirdly. His face looked calm despite the clear grimace he tried to hide. The worst memory really had to came up in this situation.
"Oh! Blaze, do you remember Tok Aba's Kokotiam Chocolate cookies in Boboiboy shape? Let's make those!" Taufan suggested.
"Oh yes! The chocolate taste was really strong! It wan not to sweet and not to bitter." Blaze eyes lit up like an excited child.
They started to prepared the ingredient and the cooking utensils they need. Sounds of metal clashing on the table echoed from their cooking area.
Ice yawned loudly with a single tear threatening to fell down from the corner of his eyes. He rubbed his eyes as he tried to erased the sleepiness from his eyes.
"Why don't we just boil a water?" He mumbled.
Solar gasped at his question as if he found the question to be ridiculous.
"No, brother. You can't be that lazy, can you?!"
Ice shrugged, "Maybe."
Solar stared blankly at his nonchalant reply before forcing an exhale.
"Why am I paired with him?" He mumbled under his breath.
His hands also started to preparing the ingredients. He prepared meat, spices, and coconut milk. Ice took a peek from Solar's shoulder and asked.
"What are you gonna make?"
Solar grinned, "Rendang."
"...what's that?"
"It's Indonesian traditional food, duh. It is commonly made from beef and coconut milk. It tastes really spicy albeit you can lessen the spicy taste to your liking. Rendang also one of the most famous food." Solar elaborated as he skillfuly sliced the meat into chewable size.
Despite the explanation, Ice still looked a little hesitate.
"How do you know it will taste the same with all this strange... ingredients?"
Instead of answering Solar only gave him spices that almost had the same shape like onion and garlic.
"Peel them first before you grind them." And turned back to sliced the meat.
Ice stared down at the spices on his palm before went doing what was told to him by Solar. He didn't trust Solar since the nerd never walk into a kitchen. But since Solar was the most educated despite his personality, for once Ice will put faith in him in this cooking test.
Meanwhile at Team B, their table was a mess. Fire everywhere, courtesy of Blaze and him trying to do the Flambē stunt.
"My hair!" Taufan screamed as he ran around wildly.
"Hahaha! Burn! Let them all burn!" Blaze yelled as he threw both his arms in the air.
Halilintar facepalmed. Gempa felt like his soul was leaving his body with Thorn by his side, trying to wake him up.
Commander Kokoci looked terrified at the mess while the remaining members of Team Boboiboy tried to put out the fire.
"Fire! Fire! Huhu, appa!"
"Haiya! How can this happening?!"
"Gopal! Don't just screaming and help us!"
"Are you crazy, Fang?! Those fire are really big! That's insane!"
"Aish, just help us, Gopal." Yaya said while pouring water to put out the fire nearby.
"...what are we gonna do, Admiral?"
"Let them be."
"Burn!"
"Ahhh! Amma! Appa!"
