Ali helped BoBoiBoy with carrying the the bags full of groceries. There were quite a lot of items so BoBoiBoy split into three which are Quake, Thunderstorm and Cyclone. Everyone's favourite Original Trio.

"Quake...I want ice cream~" asked Cyclone while making a cute face. Thunderstorm patted Cyclones's face using a celery.

"Don't bother Quake. Don't you see how he has been staring at the fishes in the aquarium like he wanted to burn it alive? You wanna be next?" Ali and Cyclone looked at Quake who was still intently staring at the aquarium tank with many alive fish.

"If you want ice cream, I can buy it. I also want to eat ice cream." Ali's invitation made Cyclone nod.

"Awesome! I want the vanilla flavor! And Thundy will get the strawberry flavor!"

"Hey, don't drag me after you!"

"Thundy, I'm the Elemental twin after you, I know what you want."

Thunder didn't reply but he lowered his hat. Aw, he's blushing! Ali took that as a yes.

"Okay, wait here. I'll go get it for you guys. Wait for a while."

After Ali gave his shopping back to Thunderstorm, he walk out from the wet ingredients area and make his way to the sweets and snacks alley.

He took his time to take some snacks, biscuits and other sweets. For movie night~

After putting all his things in a basket, he went to the front of the store. The ice cream fridge is located near the entrance.

When he is choosing ice creams for the Elemental twins, Ali felt his hand being pulled hard and his hoodie fell off.

"Ouch! What are you-" Ali's word got caught in his throat.

Agent Rizwan.

The person whonis holding his hand now is Agent Rizwan.

"Follow me now,Ali." Rizwan said before pulling Ali out to the door. Ali snap out from his shock and start to shake his hand away.

"W-Who? I think you got the wrong person." said Ali quickly before trying to run away, but his hand was held tightly by Rizwan.

"Ali, you have to come with me back to Cyberraya, now!"

"Let go!" Ali shouted in a rather loud voice,panicking. Many people were looking at them.

"Ali! This is an order. You have to follow me back now!" Rizwan pulled Ali harder causing Ali to drop his basket.

"Ahhh! Let go! Quake! Thunderstorm! Cyclone! Help!!!!" Ali screamed.

"Sir, I think it's better if you let this boy go. He's the younger brother of our hero-"

"I know him. His family told me to get him to come back."

"HEY!"

All the shop goers were surprised to see their town's superhero suddenly appear with their weapons in hand.

"You better let him go if you don't want to mess with me." said Thunderstorm menacingly while swinging his Thunder Sword.

"I don't think you all understand what I'm trying to do now. This boy-"

"Lightning Move!"

"Wind Blow!"

With the speed of lightning, Thunderstorm pulled Ali and gave him to Quake and at the same time Cyclone blew out the person who tried to kidnap Ali.

Thunderstorm and Cyclone ran out of the store to look for the person but he was gone.

"Cis! Where did that bastard go huh!?" Thunderstorm snorted. He removed his sword and Cyclone got off from his hoverboard.

"Thundy, Quake is trying to calm Ali down now." said Cyclone. They both rushed back into the supermarket.

Quake is still trying to calm Ali down.

"A- Iris? Iris! Look at me! You're safe."

But Ali didn't hear what Quake said. He held his hands tightly to his ears and closed his eyes tightly.

I can't! I can't!

"Weak!"

I don't want to go back there!

"He's better off without you."

They found me....

"An agent need to be on guard and aware of their surrounding! Not deaf like you!"

I don't want to leave BoBoiBoy...

I don't want to go...

"ALI!!"

Ali snap out from his reverie. BoBoiBoy didn't split into three anymore but he was in Ice mode.

"Ali, look at me. You're safe. They won't find you." Ali took a slow breath while trying to focus his eyes on Ice's light blue eyes.

"Ok, it's like a plague. Breathe well. Calm down... Empty your mind. You're safe with me.. You're safe.." Ice whispered again. He didn't want others to hear that he called Ali by his real name.

Ali controlled his breathing before he hugged Ice tightly.

Ice hugs him back. Try to calm Ali down so he doesn't get panic attack again. Although Ice's hug is a bit cold, his hug calms Ali down.

After Ali managed to calm down, they both got up and Ice paid for the things he had taken earlier. Then, he split into three which consist of Blaze, Cyclone and Thorn,the Troublemaker Trio.

"Don't worry Ali! The Troublemaker Trio will protect you!" said Blaze.

"Yes! Mission to protect Ali!" said Cyclone and Thorn. So, that's why he is now in the middle of the Troublemaker Trio, Cyclone on the left and Thorn on the right and Blaze in front.

All the groceries are carried by the Troublemaker Trio.

"You don't have to protect me like that." said Ali.

"Nope! This is an order from Quake! So, it must be implemented at all cost!" said Cyclone. Thorn and Blaze nodded.

••••••••••••

As soon as they got home, Ali went up to BoBoiBoy's room while the Troublemaker Trio put away the groceries and reunited before going to his room.

When he opened the door, Ali was holding the folding knife that he had been hiding all this time and placed it close to his hand

"Ali,no!"

BoBoiBoy can't move forward. He is afraid that if he acted recklessly, the knife would injure Ali.

"Ali...You've done well.. You don't need that thing-. Hey..Hey! Look at me...You're safe.." persuaded BoBoiBoy slowly approaching Ali.

"Just one BoBoiBoy..I only need one.."

"Ali, don't.. You've lasted for a long time... You've done well.. L-Look at your hands.. There's no lines. right?"

Ali nodded and his hand trembled holding the knife.

"That's a sign that you've done your best...You don't need that thing..Give me that knife.."

BoBoiBoy's hand slowly extended to take the knife from Ali.

Ali looked at BoBoiBoy before looking back at the knife.

Slowly, he handed the knife to BoBoiBoy.

When the knife was on BoBoiBoy burn the knife until it melted due to his Blaze power.

Suddenly, Ali stand up and started to take his bag and put his things in it.

"What are you doing, Ali?" asked BoBoiBoy.

"They had found me,BoBoiBoy! They had found me! You are not safe with me! So, I have to run!" Ali said with his confused,frenzy and scared state. When he wanted to take his bag again, BoBoiBoy had seized the bag and froze it on the ceiling his room.

"BoBoiBoy!! I'm serious!" Ali said angrily.

"Ali, you won't be safe if you run away. They will find you again and I won't be there to protect you. So, please calm down." said BoBoiBoy calmly trying to persuade Ali. Ali sat on the floor hugging his knees.

"I'm scared BoBoiBoy....I'm scared...The explosion...All the swearing...I....I'm not as strong as you... I can't take it..." said Ali.

The atmosphere in the room was silent accompanied by the sound of Ali's sniffles.

BoBoiBoy sat next to Ali leaning against his clothes rack. His fingers fidgeting his Elemental powerwatch.

Not long after that, BoBoiBoy sighed softly.

"I'm not strong either Ali."

BoBoiBoy's words made Ali turn to look at BoBoiBoy. He take of his hat and flipped the orange hat that has became his symbol.

"You must have been thinking.... How am I lucky because I have a family, I have friends and I have this kind of power.."

Ali listened to BoBoiBoy's story.

" I have never told this story to anyone because I don't want to burden them. After.... what happened with Retakka.. I am always haunted by nightmares.. That I failed to protect this power and the people I love.. .It's all like..a broken tape that keeps playing in my head."

BoBoiBoy looked at his hand.

"I'm afraid.. that I'm not strong enough to be the holder of Elemental power. I'm afraid I won't be able to protect them. I'm afraid I won't be able to save people in time. I'm afraid...."

BoBoiBoy's rasping voice made Ali change his position to look at BoBoiBoy completely.

He was trying not to cry.

"I'm afraid if I fail to be the best for my father.."

BoBoiBoy wiped his tears and Ali put a hand on BoBoiBoy's shoulder.

"All my life... I just want my father to be proud of me.. But he and my mother are always busy,even when I decided to stay here with Tok Aba they only knew it after he told them. So at that time I thought, I have to be the best no matter what."

BoBoiBoy chuckled before putting on his hat back on and wiping away all his tears.

"...How are you always positive, BoBoiBoy?" Ali asked uncertainly.

BoBoiBoy smiled and spontaneously pinched Ali's cheek for a glance.

"With a smile and positive thoughts. I push all the negatives behind as my motivation to be better. It's not easy...But that's one of the challenges for us."

Ali continues to process BoBoiBoy's words.

It really eats in.

"I keep going because I know I can. Even if it's not easy, but I'm trying. And if I can, you must be able too. I trust you."

Ali turned his face in another direction but BoBoiBoy turned his face again to face him.

"Promise me. You won't look down or think bad about yourself anymore. Promise me." said BoBoiBoy firmly. Ali looked at BoBoiBoy's eyes. His eyes are stern but at the same time...

Soft.

"I promise."

BoBoiBoy then hugged Ali and Ali returned it.

"I just want to protect you Ali. You're like the little brother I never had. So, please....Don't do this again..."

"I'm sorry BoBoiBoy..I promise I won't do reckless things like this again... I'm sorry.." said Ali.

"It's okay Ali...I understand you...You're not alone. We will always be there for you." said BoBoiBoy. Ali knew that the 'we' BoBoiBoy meant were his Elementals and also his friends.

"Thank you BoBoiBoy.."

Cyberraya

MATA Academy

"We can't attack recklessly. Ali doesn't want to listen to my orders. And then there is someone, three people actually, with very sophisticated tools.I'm trying to persuade Ali to come back. We need more agents."

Rizwan returns to the Academy after his fail attempt to bring Ali home.

And he was injured a little because of the Cyclone's attack.

"Sophisticated equipment? It's okay. We will send all our young agents there. If that person is really Ali's friend, he won't hurt the young agents here."
