Flashback
Boboiboy who's controlling Ice and Gelap is talking together in the laboratory with Solar who is inspecting the watch and they are waiting for Halilintar and Gempa to come back after doing Boboiboy's TEMPUR-A task. Boboiboy is showing a video of Halilintar and Taufan's sparring a month ago that almost ruined the whole training room
"They are crazy, right? Halilintar is terrifying in sparring session. That's why only Taufan and Blaze who would be his sparring partner" said Boboiboy
Gelap nodded at Boboiboy's explanation and couldn't help but be in awe looking at their sparring. The owner who sees the youngest elemental is smiling. The elemental notices him staring at him, and he shows a confused look
"Sorry... I just can't help to be in awe of you. You are very shy but at the same time, you are a curious person" said Boboiboy as he pat Gelap's head
The dark elemental just blushed at the remark and gave his owner a smile. Boboiboy who patted him started to look serious
"Gelap... Do you by chance... Know the reason why you got activated?" asked Boboiboy serious
Hearing the question, Gelap was surprised and then he nodded to him which Boboiboy sighed at and let out a small smile
"I see... Of course you would know. To be honest, I know that I triggered you through loneliness but I just don't know when I started to get lonely that it activated you like this. The other elementals are asking me the same question, but I only remember the time I got lonely after the watch problem and I'm sure that you are already activated then" said Boboiboy as he looked at Solar who's tweaking seriously on the power watch
Gelap only shows a sad look as he doesn't know how to say the reason so he just hugs his owner as if telling him that everything will be alright
"Gelap..."
The elemental actually knows perfectly the exact time when he got activated in his owner's power watch
The timing was exactly perfect and he was sure he was the only one who knows
However, as the elemental who got activated through loneliness, he knew how painful the feeling was, so he developed anger toward the very reason why he got activated and the trigger of his owner's hidden loneliness inside his tiny heart that the owner himself could not even notice.
It was actually because of Boboiboy's father, Amato

Amato and Gelap look at each other and Gelap shows a very scary look at his owner's father. Seeing his expression surprised all of them except two elementals. Solar took a step forward to grab everyone's attention and then looked at Gempa
"Gempa... I think now is a perfect time to tell us... What is the cause of Gelap's trigger to be activated..." said Solar serious
"Solar... Since when did you know that I'm aware of it?" asked Gempa surprised in a low voice
"If I said that from the beginning, would you believe me? Do you think that I also didn't notice that you talked about it with Tok Aba and it seems Mechabot also knows?"
"Well... Knowing you after all, so I believe that... But I'm being honest, at first, it was just an assumption that I made, but Tok Aba help me confirm my assumption"
"Gempa? Please explain to us why Gelap acts like that in front of Laksamana?" asked Ochobot worried
"The answer is simple, Ochobot... Too simple that even I don't need to tell"
All of them except Solar and Gelap in the room are very confused by Gempa's statement. It took a few seconds for Halilintar to let out a big breath
"I see... So that's the answer" said Halilintar as he held onto his hat
"What is it? Do you know?" asked Taufan
"As what Gempa said... The answer is too simple"
"Enough with the coded statement and just tell us the answer, oh, by the love of Tok Aba's chocolate!" said Gopal started to get impatient
Halilintar sighs as he looks at his owner's father seriously
"In short, Laksamana Amato is the reason why Gelap is activated"
The rest were confused and then Fang quickly clapped his hands as he understood the situation properly. Amato who's still lost can't comprehend what is going on
"You guys did say Gelap is activated through Boboiboy's loneliness then Boboiboy is lonely because of Laksamana Amato?" asked Fang to Gempa
"But... Laksamana Amato has been with us for days now so shouldn't Boboiboy don't get lonely when he's around?" asked Yaya confused
"Yaya's right so why is Gelap so angry?" asked Ying surprised
"If he really was around Boboiboy if that's the case" said Solar seriously
"Laksamana, when is the last time you had a proper father and son talk with our owner?" asked Ice serious
"That's..."
Amato was about to say something, but he stopped as he realized that he couldn't answer the question. Ever since he arrived here, he hasn't had proper family talk with Boboiboy. Although he realizes the secret glances that Boboiboy gave him, he's not looking at him to see how Laksamana act but he's lonely and longing for a father to be by his side. Maybe he even has some flashbacks of being lonely in their home when he was away for work.
"I take that silence as an answer" said Halilintar serious
"I... do have been so distant as a father" said Amato as he look down
"We can't blame you through since Boboiboy himself doesn't realize it either" said Gempa serious
"Eh?!" asked everyone surprised
"Boboiboy doesn't realize it either?! But how?" asked Ying surprised
"That's because he was too used to not having Laksamana Amato by his side ever since he was little. Although he didn't realize it, his watch started to act weird ever since Laksamana Amato visited TEMPUR-A for the first time and it was the first time in years he saw you" said Gempa
"Although it seems confirmed that neither of you saw each other at that time" said Taufan understanding the situation
Eventually, the others realize that Boboiboy didn't notice that he's lonely because he was surrounded by his friends and his elementals, but due to the fact that Gelap is out of his loneliness, which means that deep in his heart, he felt loneliness due to his longing for talking with his father after many years separated from each other
"Now that you mention it... The timeline did fit well after Laksamana Amato left TEMPUR-A. Boboiboy told us that he can't fushion anymore" said Fang understand
"The watch can't let out fushions because the energy was taken by Gelap. The watch was programmed to control seven elementals so that's why it becomes unstable when Gelap arrives and so it shuts down other features. Gelap here is born through the power watch and Boboiboy himself without any outsider involved" said Solar serious
"Outside? You mean, Retak'ka and the other six original owners of the elementals?" asked Gopal
"Yes... Boboiboy already confirmed to my previous owner about this, which I assumed you already knew due to your secret meetings with Commander Koko Ci"
They were surprised as it seemed that Boboiboy and his elementals had already found out about their secret meetings. Gopal just looks very confused by the situation as he takes a step forward
"Still, why did Boboiboy let out another elemental? I'm very confused right now" said Gopal
"Boboiboy did get some answers from that fre- I mean, that villain... I think you all can ask Boboiboy to explain his findings" said Halilintar as he looked away not look at Gempa's glare for almost letting out bad words
And Gempa only did that because Thorn was there in order to keep his innocence in check.
"Actually, Boboiboy already told me about his findings, but it's a long explanation so maybe tomorrow Boboiboy or I can explain in detail" said Solar seriously
Fang then takes a step forward to face Gempa and lets out a big sigh due to the situation
"To be honest, I'm mad that Boboiboy keeps this from all of us, but it seems he has no choice as well since all of you are the reason why he keeps it from us. Please, next time, if there's anything like this again, at least tell us. We are your owner's friends and he believes in us, so I want all of you elementals to believe in us as well" said Fang serious
Gempa looks at Fang, who shows a sincere look as well as Yaya, Ying and Gopal behind him giving a smile which makes the leader sigh and let out a small smile
"We're sorry as well for making so much trouble. You guys can be mad at us, but please don't be mad at our owner, he really wants to tell all of you but we stop him. Tok Aba was an exception, of course" said Gempa
"We will try our best then" said Ochobot smiles
"Gelap... It's okay... They are our Boboiboy's friends and partners for every TAPOPS mission. You might be confused by all of this, but I can assure you that they didn't mean harm"
The dark elemental who sees Gempa showing a sincere look quickly looks back to the friends that he mentions but the memory of them attacking him plays with him so he takes a step back as he lets out some dark powers around his hands. Yaya noticed it and quickly let Fang take a step behind
"I think Gelap is still scared of us since we attacked him. I think he needs time to properly trust us" said Yaya
"You're right Yaya. It's okay Gelap that you still feel uneasy with us around and I'm sorry for attacking you earlier. I hope you can be at ease with us after this!" said Ying smiling
Fang walked closer to Gelap as the dark elemental just got so scared. He looked around and saw the wind elemental near him so he quickly hugged Taufan's body. Taufan let him as he patted his back gently and seconds later, Fang bowed to Gelap
"I'm sorry for hitting you. I got very impatient earlier" said Fang
"So you're the one who attacks first. Hm! Figures" said Halilintar unhappy
"Well, sorry, because he will not talk at all!"
"That's one of Gelap's traits... He's very quiet and never speaks. He even didn't talk to any of us and just used body language" said Taufan
"The only times he will let out his voice will be when he uses his powers" said Blaze as he hug Gelap
"I see... Boboiboy really needs to explain a lot" said Fang sighs
"We can explain some of Gelap's facts on the way back. Tok Aba should be worried right now" said Gempa
It took a few seconds of silence until everybody realized that it was already very late for them to be outside
"Ah!" shout all of them except the elementals
.
.
.
Time Skip~
"YOU KNEW ALL ALONG!?" shout Amato to his certain robot partner
"Hehehe" laugh Mechabot
All of them are now on their way home after the whole ordeal and the elementals told them that they would fuse back to normal inside the house because Gelap did defend himself so they are scared that maybe Boboiboy got too exhausted.
Mechabot who was silent the whole time when the elementals explained to the others, actually knew about Gelap for two days now. That fact, of course, made Amato angry since he kept it from him
"Sorry Amato, Gempa and Solar explained the situation to me and that's why I can't tell anyone. Gempa also told me about the trigger, so I might as well let the elementals explain themselves" said Mechabot as he gave a peace sign
"You told Mechabot, but you didn't tell me?!" asked Ochobot slightly angry
"More like Mechabot found out by accident" said Solar as he held his forehead

Flashback
Boboiboy let out Gempa, Blaze, Thorn, Solar and Gelap together and they are all now in Boboiboy's room. Gempa and Solar are now talking about some data on Boboiboy's laptop. Blaze is watching an animation from Boboiboy's phone while Thorn and Gelap were playing some board game for a while until Thorn stood up
"Umm...Gempa, can I go to the backyard? I want to see the plants and maybe take some weeds out" said Thorn to Gempa
"Hmmm I think it's fine. Tok Aba should be taking a bath right now, but be fast, okay? We don't want Boboiboy's father to see us now" said Gempa
"Okay!"
Gelap who sees this, stands up as he holds onto Thorn's arm. Thorn gets surprised and he can't help but blush seeing Gelap's cute look. Gempa who sees this can only sigh as he pats Gelap's head
"Of course you can join him, Gelap. Just be careful if someone finds out about you. Remember what we said? Don't attack and just hide" said Gempa serious
The dark elemental nodded to him and both elementals quickly went out to the backyard. As they look at the plants, Thorn is still happy as Gelap holds onto his arm which shows that Gelap has trusted him
"Gelap... Thank you" said Thorn in a low voice
The elemental beside him got surprised by Thorn's words but stayed to listen to him
"Thank you for believing and trusting me. I was heartbroken at first when you were still scared, but now you hug me like you always did to Gempa" said Thorn happily
Gelap can't help but blush as he smiles at the green elemental as he hugs him even tighter. Before they do anything else, suddenly someone shouts behind them
"Boboiboy! What are you doing here?! When did you split up?!"
The voice surprised Gelap so much and he quickly used his powers to hide right under Thorn. Thorn looks behind him and surprisingly, the voice is from Amato's partner, Mechabot. The green elemental got surprised and also confused on how to explain this
"Ah um... Well..." said Thorn as he look away
"Hm? Who's that elemental right now? You unlock a new elemental?!" asked Mechabot surprised as he flew closer
"Oh shoot... Okay, Mechabot, you need to come with me right now! Gelap, go to our room"
Gelap let his head out of the dark hole and nodded as he quickly teleported inside while Thorn quickly pulled Mechabot inside as well and went to Boboiboy's room
.
.
Few moments later
"So that's how it is... I understand" said Mechabot nodded
Gempa and Solar manage to explain everything to Mechabot while the rest of the elementals with Gelap as they try to calm him down.
"Are you sure not to tell the others?" asked Mechabot confused
"For now... Yes, but Gelap already made progress in not attacking you. So we might be able to introduce him to the others in a short time" said Solar proudly as he looked at the dark elemental
"I see, all of you are all being very careful"
"Of course... We have some histories of an elemental who has problems with Boboiboy's friends after all" said Gempa as he sighs remembering some memories
Mechabot then nodded and helped them keep Gelap a secret until Boboiboy himself properly introduced Gelap to the others
Back to reality

Boboiboy's friends slightly understand, while Amato just gives the red robot a smack on the head. After hearing about the explanation, they continued to walk back
