This is not an actual episode from the og show
"petir."
huh?
"Petir."
who-
"PETIR"
"WHAGH-MPH" Petir startled awake and was immediately covered by the mouth, he panicked but once his mind had cleared, it was actually Ochobot who was doing this whole entire mess
"let go! what are you doing-" he shoved ochobot's hand out of the way before being shushed. then that's when ochobot gestured his thumb towards the two brothers in the room who we're still sound asleep.
"you want me to wake them up? oh i can do that." Petir turned to ochobot slowly while whispering menacingly with a mischievous grin, Ochobot responded shaking his hands as a 'no' response, and gestured to follow him.
Petir confused, followed the yellow bee orb
"psst ochobot, psstttttttt ochobot!!" Petir kept whispering, trying to get the orb's attention who only kept shushing back, at this point Petir will just go back to bed. but when he did got downstairs, he saw Atok at the door
"Atok? whats happening? and why wont ochobot tell me anything." Petir said with gritted teeth turning to ochobot who looked away in response "i didn't tell ochobot to not tell you anything" Tok aba smiled at the orb "YOU-" before Petir could get mad at the bee orb, Atok spoke out "Petir could you help me with some errands?" "huh?"
"i ran out of different ingredients for my menu for the cafe and food for you and your brothers, and i want you and ochobot to deal with some of it if you must" Atok told him firmly "what? why can't my brothers do it?" in annoyed response, Petir huffed and gestured upstairs. "because your- the- ol-dest" Ochobot teased the boy, and chuckled
"i mean we're the same age-" "its not for that reason oh no. i just needed one of you, but ochobot suggested you, he wants to you to come along with him" Atok says as he get's Petir's shoes
"I KNEW YOUR- wait, why me?" Petir looks at the orb baffled, what? he barely did anything with the orb, why would ochobot choose him as an errand boy, that title alone, is irritating enough.
"it's too dangerous for me to go out my own because of adudu, so i told atok that i want you to come with me! my savior!" Ochobot cheered hugging Petir
"im not into hugs from people i dont know" "you know me though" "i do, but i dont get why im you savior. because FIRST! you came to me! i didnt save you."
"but what about when adudu came to get me" "its... against justice to let you get you kidnapped. and its not just me, its Tanah and Angin too, they mostly saved you, i only saved my brothers." Petir nonchalantly says to the orb who was finally letting go of the hug that was given to him.
"and if you did get kidnapped, its the end of the world so that's that." Petir finally checked the time, it was about 6:36 am
"why wake me up early?" He turned to the elder "the market nearby would open up pretty early, it would become crowded later on so this is the best time to go"
"the market?! all.. by myself... i really cant have angin or tanah come with?" Tok aba turned back to the young child "you need to be independent Petir, i heard from your father you always seem to cling to your brothers" "i dont-" "let me speak Petir. Ochobot wants you right now, it's not bad to be with him."
"where are you going Atok?" Petir asks as Atok gave him a piece of paper with map directions and list of things needed "i'm going to deliver some of the orders listed to me"
"those orders are the reason i need more ingredients and materials. now i'm trusting that you two would be fine on your own" Tok aba pats the two on their head and smiles reassuringly before going off in his bike
Petir and ochobot watches as Tok aba goes off, once Tok aba goes out of view, Petir takes a breath
he takes out paper aggressively
he takes out pen aggressively
he writes down aggressively
he sticks paper on the two doors of him and his brothers rooms aggressively
he closes door the two doors gently
he locks the main door aggressively
"ok now where's the market." He says nonchalantly while looking at the paper given to him
and now he's off with ochobot trailing behind him.
he makes few different turns looking at the paper, making some wrong turns but immediately turns back when he realizes. he almost did cross an open cross with a car passing by, good thing ochobot pulled him back in time
and there, he reaches the public market
he stares at the entrance while other people pass by him. he checked his watch, 7 am it says
"it took like... thirty minutes to get here... uggghh.. well, lets get this over with." Petir inhales as he marches inside, again with ochobot trailing behind
"Petiiir, are you forgetting im here???" Ochobot spoke out in an irritated tone
"no." Petir spat out coldly, he makes an immediate turn to the left while ochobot hurries
"we need vegetables, all im seeing right now are clothes... " Petir makes another turn inbetween the stands "Petir!!! wait!!!" Ochobot tries catching up to the orange clad while petir keeps rushing trying to find a vegetable stand
"Please, cant you at least wait???" Ochobot wa finally able to catch up to petir who was finally able to find a vegetable stand "uhm auntie, could- could i get these type of vegetables" He says to the woman behind the stand while lending the list of needed items Tok aba gave him
"oh of course, sweetie, are you with anyone? a child like you shouldn't just be wondering around here just on your own. Are you getting these for your parents?" The auntie gladly accepted the list and started picking the needed vegetables from the said list
"Im with him!" Ochobot yelled out with his hand raised, Petir pushed him because he was too close to his face "yeah, he's with me" Petir said with a tinge of annoyance
"and yes, auntie, im getting these from Atok, Tok aba" Petir cleared up to the woman who was putting the plastic bag filled with vegetables on the weighing scale "Oh your tok aba's grandchild?!!! i thought he had seven! you look so adorableeee!!!" a Pinch to the cheek to petir made ochobot chuckle
"he does have seven, we're septuplets." Petir says in relief from the pinch but in sore because of the cheek. Ochobot chuckles beside him "oh shut it!" Petir yelled at the orb who only circled around him while chuckling
"wow, your mother is a tough one ey? and you too also have a little bot? i remember aba's son or well your father has a little bot too, they argue like you two right now" The auntie laughed while handing the plastic bag over to the young boy who handed the needed money to her
"im not arguing with him, hes just annoying" Petir deadpanned "how am i annoying" Ochobot asked in irritation "well your just buzzing around me." Petir sternly responded back
"well im just following you! why are you so mad! I didnt do anything"
"just shut up will ya!"
the two got cut off by the Auntie's laughing "you say your not arguing but you clearly are hahaha, well then stay safe you two, sitck with each other" the auntie pat their heads and waved at them goodbye, tending to the her stand once again
"th- thank you auntie." Petir muttered before leaving, Ochobot said the same thing before following petir who was leaving him behind again
"seriously why are you mad??? did i do anything wrong???" Ochobot asks the boy who had his eyebrows scrunched and lips puckered
"..." He stayed silent as he took a turn, ending up at a stand with different types of gelatin , one case in particular had boba pearls
"oh heya kid, just opening up, what do you need?" the man leaned unto one of the cases facing the boy who was looking around
"i need boba pearls" Petir straightforwardly says. "how many kilos?" The man cheerfully hops to the boba pearl case and starts using the spoon, putting them in a plastic bag again.
"uuuhhh, 2 kilos? 2 kilos." Petir had to make sure by looking back at the paper, the man cheerfully says ok and starts measuring the weight.
"why aren't you answering me????" Ochobot asked once again "can you just shut up." Petir says again with annoyance. "you have an interesting friend over there, a bot?" the man hands over the 2 kilo boba pearl to Petir, who had a little struggle carrying it with the vegetables he has
"yeah, thank you." petir then leaves with a wave to the man who waves back, "Petir!!" Ochobot kept repeating his name while following behind him
each call of his name petir gets more irritated, and irritated and irritated, he snaps
"I DONT KNOW WHY IM MAD AT YOU!!!! i dont really know why im mad at you, but i just am." Petir finally confronts the orb about this, and with this confession, it took a few seconds to sink in
"so you hate me for no REASON????" Ochobot burst out to the boy utterly confused at the orange clad "not really... i just wanted to be with my brothers.." Petir, whispered but Ochobot obviously heard him
"so you really dont like me?" in a sad tone Petir looks back to the orb on the ground who looks utterly sad
this response only made Petir mad" can you stop doing this- this whole think" he gestures to Ochobot's whole being "what does that mean??? Do you really hate me that much"
"thats not what i meant!!" "then what do you mean!!" "i dont know!!!" "how is that an answer?!!!"
their argument was getting pretty loud, some were getting annoyed by the noise and some were getting amused, one in particular was staring intently at the distance,
"hey! you kids! cant you take your business elsewhere??? your getting rowdy right now and theres barely anyone here yet who can make that rowdiness equal." finally a man spoke out breaking up their argument.
"e-eh, sorry." "you better be sorry kid, no go! shoo!" Petir embarrassed, did what the man asked and left immediately going to a section of the market where there are almost no stands up yet, a few were only staring to set it up
"you still aren't answering me clearly."
"ughhhh shut up! i just want my brothers here."
"Tok aba is right! your clingy to your brothers!! why cant you answer me!!" Ochobot was now getting frustrated, he really wanted an answer, he really did, he wants to get more closer with petir and his silence and ignorance was not helping at all
Petir only stood still for little moment before inhaling and exhaling "i want my brothers because they make me brave!" He turns to face ochobot
"and i dont want them to get hurt! thats why im dont really like this whole- alien- superhero sitaution!" Petir finally fully confesses out loud to ochobot
"i dont get it, dont you want to be a hero?"
"i-i dont know.."
"but that's what your brothers want too"
"i dont know...."
"what do you mean you dont know?"
"i dont know! because.... i- i dont really know, maybe it's because the idea was cool, but doing it, it felt.. terrifying for them... to i dont know, to attack? get attacked?? the idea of them getting attacked????" Petir was quickening his pace in speaking, overlapping his words, thoughts mixing and adding up, anxiety building up.
"Petir..." Ochobot says softly to the boy was was clutching himself and taking a breath.
"yeah" that was the only thing he could utter out, it took a few moments for him turn and get back on track
instead of him going forward in a fast pace, he took it slowly with ochobot following behind.
a few more minutes pass by, a sudden loud pop was heard from the distance. Startling both the boys, more in particular, Petir, one who walked slow as possible, ran as fast as he could.
turns out the pop was from someone who was starting to grill but that didnt really do anything to where Petir was going
for a long distance, he halted and knelt down.
He breathed heavily and clutched himself for a while
"HA what a scaredycat!!!"
"nggghh SHUT IT!! im not a scaredy cat!!" both his fists were brought to his forehead with an impact. staying there silent for a while, his single form in between the stands did caught some attention as one person approached him
"kid are you-?" "im ok." replied immediately. the man was caught off guard, but he decided to leave the boy alone
he took another breath and calmed down.
looking back up from his clutched form, he regained his senses
"ochobot?" Petir speaks out. the little orb, this time, didnt follow him. Perhaps the orb was fed up from his ignorance and his unreasonable anger
he expected that, but he cant help but feel something within him. Guilt. if the orb isn't with him, that means he left him alone, dont tell me that he actually cares for that orb.
but that yellow sphere might've gotten kidnapped by Adudu, if ochobot's taken, it's the end of the world right?
he couldn't just let this feeling be kept within him, he has to do something to get rid of it, he needs to go back
its not like he cares. it's just against his form of justice, his morals.
and there he ran back. back to the place he left ochobot, but where is he? he cant seem to find him, he kept asking the people around there if they had seen a yellow bee orb around somewhere
none gave a satisfying answer. now petir is actually getting more worried, what happened to ochobot? is he ok? is he lost? is he hurt? wait. why should he start caring? after throwing him away? why should he care when all he did was just push him away. he was stupid. he was so stupid.
where is ochobot????
as he was tossing and turning his eyes trying to find him, he spotted the orb from a distance
he ran as fast as he could to reach the orb and was able to catch up to a man holding him captive
Petir immediately ran up to the man and yelled "HEY!! LET HIM GO!!" "Petir!!!"
"eh?" the man faced the orange boy "now who are you?" "Petir! Petir! help!!"
"you have something thats my mine." Petir sternly stared at the man, "oh this little bot? oh come on, what would you need this thing for? its best if you sell it? its advanced technology! this will pay well if its sold off! wait, what am i even saying. a kid like you wont understand financing" The man kept jabbering and all it was doing was just making Petir irritated
"SHUT UP! Give him back to me!!" Petir yelled more intently. "ohoh? your quite rude. you shouldnt shout at your elders kid." he was older, but Petir isnt giving him any respect, he didnt care how this man is an adult. he isnt backing down
"this thing is precious, is this even yours? i found this thing all alone." "you stole me! im not a thing!" The man was doing a good job tolerating all of Ochobot's screams
"He is mine! He's my friend! now give him back already!!" Now petir was getting really frustrated, he had taken an intense step forward, trying to intimidate the man infront of him, but all that did was make the man tower over him
he's trembling. he's scared. but you know what, he's throwing that aside. He doesnt care now matter how big his enemy would be, he would put aside his fears just to protect his brothers. his friends! a flash and strike of lightning occured.
Petir put himself forward as he stood straight, glaring at the man as flashes of lightning surrounded his body
this performance encouraged the man to let go of the yellow orb and ran away
the said orb ran up to Petir in a hug. "Petir!!!" Petir got caught off guard from the hug, but he let the orb be
"i never thought humans would also try taking me... i really cant do anything." Ochobot whimpered as he clinged tighter,
a weight on his head made him look up "well i can do something. that's why you gave me powers right? i have to at least do something with it" Petir softly spoke as he lifted the bot at face level
"and that's to be your savior!" Petir gave out a huge grin to the orb whom took a moment to process everything before cheering
"YEAH!" Ochobot hugged the boy again, near the face "and we're friends now too." Petir declared softly and Ochobot responded with a giggle
"now, why dont we finish these errands?" Petir gave a huge grin again, Ochobot nodded as they went back on track
They kept going through different parts of the market, buying whatever is on the list, like cups, straws, fish, chicken, flour
They had to wait at times since some stands that had what they needed was still preparing their items
And after all of that, they were able to accomplish their tasks
They had a few leftover money, Petir decided to buy ready to go food for himself since he hadn't eaten breakfast(its technically a sandwich)
Both of them sat down as people started to increase within the market
"Why did you run away earlier?"
"Hm? From what?"
"That pop?"
"Oh... I just. Dont like popping sounds"
"But you have lightning, it does thunder"
"Well yeah, but im the one doing it, so its not really bad. And. I think its great, having lightning would make me braver."
"But your already brave, and cool!"
"Hehe, i am cool, arent i!" Petir chuckled at the compliment as he finished his meal
"Ill make sure to be strong" he sighed out
"Ill be strong to make sure they dont get hurt." Petir huffed out confidently at that declaration
"Maybe you should let them be sometimes"
"What do you mean?"
"Theyre strong on their own too"
"I know that! But... They wont be strong always, so.... They can lean in me!" He exclaims
"And you can lean on me too."
"Eh?"
"Count on me to save you!" Petir stood up and declared infront of the yellow orb who starred back at him with amazement
"Ok!" The bot said gleefully as the two finally went back home.
.
.
"Petir!" Angin cheered at the sight of his brother
"Took you long enough, i was starting to get worried" Tanah says to the boy who just arrived at kokotiam, sitting down next to his brothers, while the orb went on the counter
"You dont have to be worried! Im brave! And strong!" Petir huffed out
"Of course you are! Your our older brother after all" Tanah praised him while the elder himself chuckled, removed tanah's cap and ruffled his hair playfully
"Haha! Abang petir stop it!" Tanah kept laughing at how petir kept ruffling his hair
"Ha Ha! Tanah's getting played on!" Angin laughed at his brother, but the orange clad wont leave him be for long and did the same by ruffling the yellow boy's hair
The three laughed at the playful gesture
While the elder behind the counter gave the three a soft smile. He was arranging the things Petir bought
"I assume things went well?" Tok aba asks ochobot who gleefully replies yes
"Glad you kids had fun and as a token of appreciation for helping me out, i made something special for you Petir"Tok aba placed a plate with egg fried rice accompanied by his special hot chocolate
Petir absolutely digged in after thanking the elder and doing a prayer
"Atok!! i want egg fried rice too!" Angin complained by the lack of service even though he already ate breakfast
"If you help me out, maybe i will" Tok aba chuckled at the boy who did say he would help
Tanah himself was just asking for a spoon of the rice, and even when Petir was willing to give him some, the elder told tanah off
"Ochobot"
"Yeah?"
"Wanna hang out again? Just the two of us?"
"Yes! Sure!"
"Wait what-? You dont want us anymore petir???" Angin pleaded jokingly
"What? I didnt say that, i just want to be with ochobot more"
Angin kept poking fun of Petir who was getting irritated and might actually stab Angin by how tight he's holding his fork, Fortunately Tanah was keeping that from happening
All ochobot did throughout the situation was laugh at how ridiculous they are, they could be too much that he'd be nonchalant about it, but he genuinely enjoys being with them
They enjoyed their day peacefully
Aaaaaaand end of chapter!!
