Gelap is still shivering after getting attacked by Boboiboy's friends and the other elementals quickly protect him from them. Halilintar stayed close as he hugged him and the dark elemental hugged him back while covering his face on Halilintar's shoulder
"I'm sorry for being late... You did great" said Halilintar in a low voice
"Gelap... We are here now, it took us time to find you" said Solar as he went beside the two in a sitting position
The dark elemental looked up and his big brothers saw tears around his eyes and a scared look plastered on his face. Solar just patted his back to calm him down while the Halilintar sensed something crack inside him and he unconsciously let out some sparks around his body without getting them to the elemental that's hugging him, which was noticed immediately by Blaze as he went closer
"Halilintar, you are letting out your powers. Let him go for now, we will take over" said Blaze serious
"Thanks..." said Halilintar in a low voice
Halilintar gently let go of Gelap which gave Blaze a chance to gently put on Gelap's hat on his head. Blaze let out a guilty look at the dark elemental
"I'm sorry... It's my fault" said Blaze in a low voice
Hearing the voice made Gelap quickly shake his head and hug him. Blaze was surprised and he quickly hugged him back as he also let out tears from his eyes. Thorn and Taufan also gently goes to their side
"I'm so sorry for getting you separated from us. Are you hurt? I'm so sorry Gelap..." said Thorn while holding Gelap's shoulder

Flashback
Boboiboy just did something that he had never tried before, he split into eight elementals and it actually happened. Right now, all of his elementals are out together without Boboiboy controlling anyone. Everyone is just doing their things until four elementals go to their leader
"Gempa! Can we play near Kokotiam?" asked Blaze
"Eh? Why do you even want to go there?" asked Gempa surprised
"The place is wider than here after all. We want to play with Gelap too!" said Taufan as he put his arm around Gelap's shoulder
"But..."
Gempa was being cautious since they don't even know where Ochobot went but he's sure that he must be meeting his owner's friends. Ice then looks at Gelap for a moment as he seems okay with Taufan beside him so he smiles
"I don't see the harm in it. They did stay here for a while now" said Ice
"I don't know Ice... I'm scared if something happens" said Gempa serious
"If anything happens, Gelap already knows what to do and we can help each other"
He looks at Halilintar and Solar who seems to be talking seriously to each other so he can't ask their opinion. So, Gempa let Taufan, Blaze, Thorn and Gelap play outside and they happily started to run out of the house
Tok Aba and Mechabot arrive in the living room and are surprised to see the door opens
"What happened here, Gempa?" asked Mechabot surprise
"Ahh... Some elementals want to play outside near Kokotiam. I hope they will be fine" said Gempa
"Well, they have to be back home before dark or else" said Tok Aba with a serious smile
"Okay Tok Aba..." said Gempa and Ice was scared to see Tok Aba's look
The four elementals are now in Kokotiam and the sky is still orange. They either play tag without using their powers, hide and seek or maybe look through some flowers with Thorn explaining about them. Gelap was very happy that the three elementals were having fun with him. They notice that the sky is about to go dark, so Taufan quickly calls them out
"Okay guys, we should head back since it's almost dark. We don't want Gempa to be mad at us" said Taufan
"Fine..." said Blaze and Thorn
Gelap nodded at Taufan's suggestion but suddenly a big wind came to them and it made Gelap's hat fly from his head. Seeing this made everyone surprised but then Taufan, Blaze and Thorn quickly ran to catch the flying hat. Gelap was surprised but then smiled at the reaction and about to follow them
That's until he heard some people coming towards him
Back to reality
.
.

Gelap let go of Blaze and smiled at him as if saying that it was no one's fault. He looked and saw Taufan and he quickly hugged him. Only the elementals notice that Taufan has a different aura than usual right now. The wind elemental showed a worried look to his youngest brother as he hugged him back and it's a very rare scene to see since Taufan is famous for always showing a happy look.
Gempa, Halilintar and Ice who were standing up saw that Gelap seemed a little better now and they saw the others who were waiting for them. Gempa sighs as he takes off his earth hands that he used earlier to create an earth shield
"Some of you stay by Gelap's side and help him calm down. I think I have no choice but to tell everyone the truth without Boboiboy's presence" said Gempa serious
"I'm happy to take them all as payback for trying to hurt Gelap though" said Halilintar as he made his sword bigger
Seeing Halilintar's anger puts Fang, Yaya and Ying all in a fighting position. Ice quickly tries to calm the oldest elemental down
"Easy there big brother. We are angry, but they didn't know anything so please calm down" said Ice as he held onto Halilintar's shoulders
"Fine"
Halilintar put out his sword away and so did everyone else putting down their powers as well. Ochobot then shakes Gopal harshly and manages to wake him so he can also listen to the situation. Fang walks further toward Gempa as he folds his arms
"Before you explain, is Boboiboy controlling someone?" asked Fang serious
"No he isn't. It's been two days since Boboiboy took over any of us, but before, he always took over either Thorn or Ice" said Gempa sighs
"So he lied about not being able to control any of you?" asked Yaya surprised
"I'm sorry but we elementals have a big portion of the fault. We forced Boboiboy to lie about a lot of things"
"First thing's first... Who is he?" asked Ying
Gempa looks at Solar as he stands up to explain while Halilintar switches with him to go toward Gelap along with Ice. The ones who are currently standing are Gempa and Solar while the rest of the elementals are all bent down to Gelap's size circling him around which is evidence to the others that the two standing elementals will be the ones who explain
"His name is Boboiboy Gelap. Boboiboy activated him around the time his power watch had a problem for the first time. Gelap has the opposite power of mine, the darkness" said Solar serious
"So the problem with the watch is because of Gelap's appearance?" asked Ying
"Yes"
"The darkness... That explains why his powers are similar to Fang" said Yaya serious
"Seen to be the same, but it actually isn't. Gelap used the dark instead of only manipulating shadows like Fang's powers do. That is why he managed to destroy a few lightbulbs around here and also teleport inside a shadow to attack you" said Solar explaining
Ochobot fly toward them and show a worried look
"When did this happen? Why didn't you tell me anything?" asked Ochobot serious
"I'm sorry Ochobot, but when Gelap comes out for the first time, you were in charging mode and can't be awakened. After knowing Gelap's characteristics, we think it is best that we didn't tell you about him. We have a hard time when we introduce him to Tok Aba too" said Gempa
"Wait... Tok Aba knows?!" asked Gopal shock
"Boboiboy insists on telling him even though we disagree. He really wants to tell all of you but we stop him because we don't want Gelap to hurt anyone"
"Why would Gelap do that? I mean, he's still one of Boboiboy's, right?" asked Ying confuse
"Gelap is very shy and sensitive. The moment he meets someone he doesn't know, he will attack with his powers as if it's his instinct to save himself. Although now we manage to teach him that if he meets someone he doesn't know, rather than attacking, he should just run away and hide until one of us finds him"
They understand now why Gelap showed a scared look and ran away from them. They also realize that Gelap started attacking them because Fang hurt him due to his impatience. Gopal then stared at Gelap seriously and got curious
"Then what is the emotional trigger to let him out?" asked Gopal
"Loneliness" said Solar in a powerful voice
All of their eyes shot up at hearing the trigger as they quickly reminded them of some moments where Boboiboy is alone due to his watch problem which seems to be a plausible answer. Amato can only see the scene a little farther since the people who know the elementals the most are Boboiboy's friends so he needs to be careful when interacting with them. Little did he know that one red robot was also near him but the man just didn't notice
Ochobot flies closer as he looks closely at Gelap who's now being calmed down by the other elementals.
"Is it because you guys don't want Api's incident to happen again?" asked Ochobot
"You could say that's one of the reasons" said Halilintar seriously as he stood up and went towards them
"What do you mean?" asked Ying as she tried to walk closer
"Our new elemental has a very strong power. To be honest, if we compare him toward me, he might have the edge to defeat me right now since it's nighttime, which is a perfect time to unleash Gelap's full potential. Well, that was what Boboiboy and Solar told me before"
Their friends have so many questions but looking at Gelap who's scared by the situation, they don't press the elementals any further as they try to understand Boboiboy's situation handling all eight of them. Amato who sensed that everyone had calmed down took this chance to go closer
"Wait Amato! Don't go too close!" shout the red robot as he comes out
"Mechabot?! You were here all along?!" said Amato surprised
It was too late
Suddenly like a speed test, Gelap who sees the adult properly unlike before since he was focusing more on Fang, Yaya, Ying and Gopal quickly stands up and activates his dark wings. His reaction surprised all of them. Gelap's hands start to let out dark powers and so Taufan, Thorn and Blaze quickly stop him
"Gelap! Calm down!" shout Blaze as he hugged Gelap's body from behind letting the wings tap his face
"What's wrong?!" asked Taufan as he held onto Gelap's shoulder
"Did something happen?" asked Thorn as he held onto Gelap's right arm
The others in front of him was shock to see Gelap's expression
He is angry
One particular elemental on the other hand, let out a sad smile as he saw Gelap's reaction
"I knew it... This is the cause of Boboiboy's loneliness" thought someone among the elementals
