Song: Open Arms by Jorge Rivera-Herrans, Steven Dookie, Epic Ensemble from the album; EPIC: The Troy Saga

By far, this one is the one I've wanted to do the most. Enjoy!

"Are you sure about this captain?" Fang asked as they got closer to the island. "I'm sure, we can't risk anything happening to the fleet, not when the war is still going." Halilintar replied. Silence envelops them as they focus on the island in front of them. Halilintar called out, "Fang, if anything happens to us, continue leading the crew." Fang interjected, "But-" "You and Kaizo must continue to lead the crew to help our friend. We should finish this war before it gets out of hand." Halilintar told him.

"Captain! We have arrived!" Beliung yelled. Halilintar and Fang looked to the front, and they were indeed, here. "Alright, brothers! Let's go! Everyone else, stay here and guard the ships." Halilintar ordered. "Baik Captain!" Came numerous replies.

As soon as they were close enough, Halilintar & his brothers jumped off the ship and on the sand. "Rimba, Gempa, how far does this forest go?" Solar asked. The two looked thoughtful for a minute as they closed their eyes. They opened them and discussed for a bit. In the meantime, Halilintar ordered Beliung to have a fly and take a look around the island, but to not go too far from them. 

Soon, Beliung returned back, at the same time, Rimba and Gempa came to a conclusion. "Captain, I see plains in the middle of the island. And I can also see something glowing. However, I could not see what it was." Beliung reported. "This forest goes on for miles. We can't be certain for how long exactly. But, just as Beliung said, we can sense a plain area somewhere on this island." Gempa reported.

Solar looked thoughtful at this, while Halilintar looked straight ahead into the forest. "Captain? What's the plan?" Ais asked. "I say we go in the forest to find food." Solar said. "I agree with him. We have until sunrise. We can surely find some food for them and return before sunrise if we act now." Blaze said. "Alright, let's head in the forest." Halilintar said as he lead them all inside.

Blaze and Solar followed closely. Which they were then followed by Gempa & Ais. Who were then followed by Beliung, & Rimba. Being at the back, it was easier for Beliung and Rimba to talk without being heard. "Hey Rimba... is it just me... or is Hali, Sol, and Blaze being really stressed out and tensed." Beliung whispered. "Not just you... even I noticed that. I think Ais and Gempa noticed too, but I can't tell." Rimba whispered back. "You think it's time for a bit of fun?" Beliung asked, grining. "Oh I definitely think it is." Rimba said smirking.

Beliung flew up without a sound, while Rimba zoomed through the forest to surprise his brothers from the side.

(Hehe, song time!)

"You can relax my friend!" Rimba said. "Huh?" The hot head trio replied with, confused. "We can tell your getting nervous" Beliung said from behind. "So do yourselves a service" Rimba continued. His smile got gentle and placed a hand on Solar's shoulder. "Try to relax my friend" Rimba advised. Solar continued to move forward, ignoring Rimba's gesture, "I'm fine Rimba...". Beliung appeared beside Blaze and Halilintar and said, "Think of all we've been through, we'll survive what we get into".  He squeezed their shoulders gently and ran ahead with Rimba.

"We know that your tired of the war and bloodshed" Rimba sang as they crossed over a river. "But tell me is this how you're supposed to live?" Beliung asked as they climbed the hill. "Look at how you grip your sword enough said" Beliung said as he grabbed the sheath on Halilintar side. He drew the sword out and swished out around for a bit. "Why should we take when we can give" He sang. He placed the sword back in the sheath and gave it to Halilintar.

"You can show a person that you trust them" Rimba grabbed by Solar by the shoulders. A small yelp was heard from Solar from the unexpected grab. But Rimba massages his shoulder gently and continued, "When you stop and lower your guard". He grabbed Blaze and ruffled his hair, "Here we have a chance for some adjustment". He ran forward and caught Beliung who accidentally fell from a tree. "Give it a try it's not that hard, we're telling you", they sang.

"This life is amazing, when you greet it with open arms" They sang as they skipped happily through the forest. "Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart" Beliung said, trying to assure Halilintar. "No matter the place, we can light up the world" Rimba said to both Blaze and Solar. "And here's how to start" Rimba and Beliung sang as they ran into the plains. "Greet the world with open arms, greet the world with open arms", they sang.

Halilintar noticed something moving in the bushes and drew out his sword. Blaze summoned his chakras. Ais summoned shurikens. Solar summoned a bow and loaded it with some arrows. Gempa got his Earth fist ready. Rimba summoned a scythe. And Beliung summoned his spear. Little creature came out and surrounded them from everywhere and they all greeted them, "Welcome!"

"Stay back!" Halilintar yelled. "My brother... greet the world with open arms..." Beliung reminded. Solar sighed and said, "We're only here for food" The little creatures repeated, "Food!" Halilintar pointed his sword at them saying, "Six hundred friends are waiting, for us to show our faces". The little creatures attempted to get closer, but Solar drove them back, "Stay back I'm warning you!" They repeated again, "Food!"

"If we don't get back safely our men will turn this place into blazes." Blaze said. However, the little creature already came to them and presented them with a little basket with food, "Food!" The 7 brothers were stunned. Before both Rimba and Beliung grinned excitingly, "See!"

The two, including Gempa and Ais, started to collect the baskets given to them by the little creatures. Beliung sang as he received a basket, "This life's amazing, when you greet it with open arms". Rimba continued, "Whatever we face, we'll be fine if we're leading from the heart". "No matter the place we can light up the world here's how to start" Beliung said as he squeezed the little creatures as a 'thank you'. "Greet the world with open arms, greet the world with open arms." Rimba stated as he opened one of the fruits.

Solar immediately knocked it out of his hand and said, "My brother, I wish that I could say that I agree." He gestures to inside the fruits saying, "But looks at the way this fruit is glowing and filled with glowing seeds". He then gestures for the others to come closer. And then gestured to a nearby pond, "It took me a while to notice just what kind of fruit they eat. It's a lotus, it control your mind and never lets you free."

Blaze threw it away and said angrily, "That's what we get with open arms". Rimba then approached a small group of lotophaguses and asked, "Lotus Eaters, I'd like to show my friend that kindness is brave. Could you tell me where there's other food the eat?" They looked at each other and cheerfully responded with, "The cave!" Beliung's eyes lit up and asked, "A cave! You're saying there's a cave where we could feast? And where do we sail to find this food filled cave?" The little creatures pointed to a direction and said, "East!" Rimba and Beliung hugged the little lotus eaters and thanked them, "Thank you!" They responded happily with, "Welcome!"

They went back to their brothers and Beliung sang, "This life's amazing, when you greet it with open arms" Rimba hugged them slightly for a sec and said comfortingly, "I see in your face, there's so much guilt inside your heart". Beliung chimed in and said, "So why not replace it and light up the world here's how to start". The duo then chorused together, "Greet the world with open arms, greet the world with open arms".

"You can relax my friend", they said as they went on ahead into the direction the lotophaguses pointed them to. "Greet the world with open arms", the hot-head trio said as they contemplated what they said. "You know, despite the war going on right now, they have a point. You have to loosen up that stress a bit." Gempa said as he followed them.

The trio said nothing but followed them nonetheless. Ais held Blaze's shoulder. The twins looked into each other's eyes for a moment before Blaze sighed and Ais held him as they walked together.

Maybe they should try and open their heart....
