Who Is Mikan

"Such a fool. What is going in your mind sending uncle Ho? He is the one and only person who has longest experienced than all of us here...what are we going to do without him now?" Mikan holding his emotions and steps a bit far from Jio.

"I know...I know he is our only hope to get to know more about things here...but...my heart hurt every time I found him staring blankly at that picture in his pocket...he spent his youth here without knowing that he will be able to go home or no" Jio talking while keep his head down, even just to talk about how hard this all for uncle Ho is aching his heart.

Yoka just stand still,he understood what Jio talk about because he ever found that uncle Ho is sometime looking at that picture of his wife and himself on that old picture.

Managing his breath into stable state, Mikan still holding grudge

But then Hui Go jump in flash toward Yoka to save him

SLASHHHH....!!!! 

One fire light slashing the wall from outside exactly behind Yoka causing the wall crumbling into pieces 

SRAKKKKKKKK...!!!!! 

The stone monsters appear from both alleys in this building, Jio, Mikan and Yoka got into their position to fight. They prepared for this already and with Lokian and Hui Go companion, Jio believe that they will able to destroy these stone monsters in no time.

But from far away on the top of that building across this building, Jio can spots one more power radiating it energy.

Knowing one strong enemy watching from far, Jio just let it go as he should focus on these stone monsters first.

"Hui Go...help Mikan over there!!" Jio himself joins Yoka fighting more on the left side after instructed Hui Go.

Listening to Jio, Hui Go change his way and joining Mikan on the right side of the alleys which has less stone monsters meanwhile Lokian by himself wildly destroying those small spidery creatures coming from the broken walls. 

These spidery creatures are created by that one winger creature who watch from across the building.

Lokian needs to slash them on the head and stab them on the body to kill them, these creatures has poisons on the tips of their legs which able to destroy your skin cells and slowly dissolved them away.

"Jio!! Watch your back!" Yoka run to dodge the attack coming to him and ran to slash one stone monster which almost smashing Jio from behind

"Thanks..."Jio jumps to avoid the next attack.

The amount of the stone monsters is bigger than last time Jio and Yoka fought but thanks to Lokian and Hui Go they got destroyed the monsters and the spidery creature in no time.

"Is everybody okay?" Yoka walks to check on Mikan before everyone else as he can see that Mikan making less movement whether tiredness or injured.

"Mikan.....are you okay?" Yoka is asking one more time.

With his eyes closed, Mikan nods his head and suddenly fell on his knee. 

"Hey!" Yoka ran to save him by holding him on the shoulder.

Jio can feel the energy from across the building is now focusing on something else because the treating aura no longer there but instead he can feel that it powers has something to do with Mikan's mind.

"Hui Go come with me!" Jio jumps out from the broken walls to the building across to meet that winger creature

Hui Go jumps right behind Jio to follow and protect Jio from any attacking might happening to him.

That one winger creature did not even move an inch seeing Jio coming toward his direction. He just focuses on what he is doing

"Hey!! Are you the one who attacking Mikan right now? What are you doing to him?" Jio stands in ready to fight position and Hui Go is guarding behind him

No answer from the winger creature, like Jio's existence is not even matter for it to get distracted.

Jio shifts his eyes to where Yoka and Mikan can be seen, and there Mikan still tugging in his head on Yoka's embraces, the pain Mikan got is real.

Jio don't want to waste his time, so he takes one big stone.

Hold it up and throw it strongly toward that winger creature.

Jio gets amaze by watching that one big stone dissolved in the air near that winger creature like it protected by a shield and now Jio understand why that creature looks very calm even with Jio and Hui Go existence nearby.

"Hui Go, I don't know what kind of shield this guy has but I believe he is the one who attacking Mikan over there so I'm going to do something to distract his attention and you can help me from the counter-attack....okay?" Jio hold his sword tight.

"Understood!" Hui Go nods and prepare his sword as well.

Just like that Jio ran toward that creature and slashing whatever protecting it from outer attack

TINGGG.....!! TING.....!! TING...!! TINGG.....!!!

The sound of Jio's sword clashing with that invisible protector

Attacking the protector endlessly, Jio just wants to distract it focus from whatever it uses to hurt Mikan

Even though these attacks might be useless but Jio really triggered by seeing Mikan painfully screaming, Jio put more power on his hit and seems like it working because that creature is now slowly opening up his eyes and looking at Jio who's restlessly hitting the protector.

"How pity, a weak human trying to break my shield...I am Megonor the leader of poisonous creatures, there is noway you will able to touch me with your dirty hand, even if you can break that shield...you won't be able to walk closer to me...simply because you are too weak" coldly, Megonor speaks.

Jio does not care about what this creature talk about, he just wants to see if Mikan gets freed from the pain after got this Megonor attention and just like he thought before, so it really this creature the one who makes him suffering.

"I don't care if I weak or strong..." Jio keep his eyes looking at Yoka and Mikan, ignoring Megonor

" Weak and stupid just so human characters" Megonor realizes that the guy in front of him now is that man Rhinzeos talked about but Rhinzeos did not mention that one guy with cat ears he attacked before.

"I must protect my friend even though I'm weak" Jio smiling once he saw Yoka gave him a thumb up as a sign of Mikan is fine now.

"Friend? Ha....ha....ha....friend...you guys should do a re-introduction next time, considering you are a friend to him sound ridiculous" Megonor feel funny as he knew something about whom Mikan is.

"....."Jio got fluster for a while then smilingly said.

 "Yes we are friend...so don't you try to hurt any of my friend or I will kill you" Jio once again firmly said, he promises himself that he will send Mikan home safely after finding Mikan's door. Remembering that Uncle Ho was the one who protecting and stay by Mikan and Yoka side these time is burning Jio spirit to get stronger and became someone they can rely on.

"Kill me? Ha ha ha...keep dreaming young boy, oh wait...is not he a Guardian? Why would a guardian of trapped world helping human? Are you guys trying to find a companion to fight back after your massive loses?"belittling Hui Go who still stay there waiting for Jio instruction, Megonor sharp words did hurt Hui Go in his heart but he stay calm expressionless waiting for Jio instruction only.

Looking at Hui Go for a second, Jio steps forward and spread his arm like a brother protecting his little brother from those bully at school and it did surprise Hui Go seeing what Jio doing, Hui Go feel touched as he knows that Jio is new to this strange world but he has kind heart to protect those he treasure even when he knew that he might not winning the fight

"He is my friend too...And I don't like it when people talk bad about my friends..." Jio calmly speaks.

Megonor had to admit that he feel impressive by this human, he seems different from those human he met before, he did not shake even once when standing in front of Megonor, no frighten on his eyes and there is that strong aura around this boy but Megonor could not figure it out.

"What is your name?" Megonor asks

"My name is Jio from Real World."

"Impressive...and how come that guardian is with you now? They were long gone...died and sealed" it keep distracting Megonor how obedient Hui Go to Jio instruction from back there like he will only make a move if Jio instructs him.

Back then, the guardian of Trapped World would only listening to their leader and Megonor know that there are several leaders of the guardian but he never had chance to meet them in person as it was the Tunggan and Balijaat, the highest leaders of winger creature and magic team the ones who battling against those guardians leader and sealed them

"It's none of your business to know how we met, and what you do to Mikan is pretty awful...attacking someone weaker than you is not a gentle man attitude you know" Jio lower his hand

"You are surely a good speaker. I wish he will show you guys his real power and I would like to see how your reaction but for now I have no more business with you guys...nice to meet you, let's meet again next time" Megonor spreading his wings and flung in speed of flash.

"Woah....he is so fast" Jio exhaling a long sigh to calm his nerve"Let's go back" he smiles to Hui Go

On their way back home, Jio is holding back his curiosity and try not to obviously checking on Mikan. The fact that Megonor is talking about Mikan and how he attacks Mikan invisibly is filling Jio's head, and there must be something he know about Mikan which Mikan himself does not even know.

Arrive at home at the dawn. Mikan does not talkative as before and he looks sad by the time they were arriving in front gate of the house. Yoka did ask him about whether he needs something but he told Yoka that he just wants to have a rest then leave to his room.

Jio and Yoka sat in the dinning table, silently and feeling empty.

Yoka is heading up to the kitchen to boil some water to make tea while Jio is by himself in the dinning table, laying his head on the table with his hands as pillow, he watches each of Yoka's movement in the kitchen.

Jio presses his hair and looking at that wall filled with ornaments, then slowly gets up and go to the storage to take the watering can, fill it with water from the big barrel and starting to watering the plants and the flowers just like Uncle Ho always did.

"You're going to ruin them if you watering endlessly like that" Yoka's voice waking Jio from his empty mind and realizing that he almost is flooding the plants.

Putting the watering can down near the barrel, Jio walks to sit on that bench near the tree and Yoka from inside the house coming to join him with two cups of tea on his hands

"Here...this is Uncle Ho favourite tea" sitting next to each other, they both can hear long sigh and just back to silent for awhile.

"How is Mikan? I really feel bad for him" Jio takes a sip of his tea, the aromatic of the calming his messy thoughts.

"Mikan is really close with Uncle Ho, they spent a lot of their time together in this house and they used to go outside together as well..." Yoka look up to the dark skies and continue "But I feel grateful that uncle Ho finally got back to Real World to meet his wife,I don't know but I hope he will meet her there" thinking of anything might happened in those years Uncle Ho left his wife in the Real World and wishing Uncle Ho meeting his wife is one big miracle itself.
