'Wait...' Alfi said trying to get up. 'What do you mean by assisting us?' He asked.
'Just like I said before, I am here to assist you. You must know that Waku-waku is about to invade Bali, that's why I am here to assist you.' Made explained.
'Wait, if you know Waku-waku... It means....' Kartika said.
'Correct, I'm a Doki-Doki user, or you can say I am one of the sages who protect Bali Island.' Made explained.
'The sages...' Kartika said.
The guy gets up. Alfi and Kartika are getting vigilant in no time.
'Whoa, cut it off guys, Varz won't kill you. He is just trying to greet you. Right, Varz?' Made said trying to break their fight.
Varz remains silent giving them a cold gaze.
'Then, why did this Varz guy attack us?' Alfi asked. 'He almost killed all of us.' He said angrily.
'Nah, you are just too weak. I was just merely swinging my wind sword. You guys just couldn't dodge it.' Varz said so sassily.
'What did you say?!'Alfi enraged pulling Varz's collar.
'Alfi!' Kartika exclaimed.
'You are the one who came and attacked us. You have made my friends like this. Have you no a decency?!' Alfi enraged.
Varz remains silent.
'Have you no a decency?!' Alfi enraged.
'So what's the big deal?' Varz slapping Alfi's hand that Alfi let Varz go. 'Don't act like a hero if you even can't protect your friends!' He added.
Alfi remains silent.
'You can't defeat me, how can you even protect this world. Meh, protecting this world he said, I would rather destroy it if the world is protected by the likes of you.' Varz said.
'What the hell is your problem anyway?!' Alfi enraged unable to hold his urge.
'My problem? You won't know as you will die here!' Varz exclaimed forming a wind sword and running towards Alfi.
'You asked for it!' Alfi exclaimed summoning his Iru arm and running towards Varz.
When their attacks are about to clash, a white light comes and makes them tumble.
'That's enough! Both of you!' Made exclaimed firmly.
'Mmm, Made, sir.' Kartika said.
'Please call me Made, lady Kartika.' Made said politely.
'No need to call me like that. In any cases, if you are one of the sages who protect Bali Island, it means there are other sages, right?' Kartika asked.
'Correct.' Made said throwing a white light ball to the sky. 'Before we leave, we can't ignore them, can we?' He added.
The white ball is destroyed and white smoke covers Herman, Koji, Katon, Indra, Iqbal and Reza' body. Then, they are recovered and get up. They see Alfi and Varz who look like they are in the middle of a fight.
'Attack!' Koji exclaimed running towards Varz followed by the others.
'STOP FIGHTING YOU STUPID DOKI-DOKI USERS!!!!' Made shouted irritated making them silent as his shout is really loud.
'We... We are sorry.' They said regretting.

'For crying out loud! Remember, having power doesn't mean you have to use it to solve every problem you have.' Made scolded them.
All of them look down.
'There are many things that I want to talk with all of you, especially you, Your Highness Alfi. Follow me.' Made said turning around, creating a white portal and entering it.
All of them follow him.
After entering through the portal, they have reached a very beautiful village. The pathways are covered by stones and grass, the wooden traditional houses are divided by stone walls, and the villagers are wearing traditional clothes only, men wearing kamen (a cloth worn on the bottom, no, it's not Japanese) only, and women wear kebaya and kamen only. You can be refreshed by just merely seeing it.
'Welcome to the Tenganan Traditional Village, I'll guide all of you to my house which is located not too far from here.' Made said.
'How beautiful.' Alfi said.
'Right... What a place.' Herman added.
'Oh, thank you for your compliment, the villagers still conserve their unique tradition which was born for centuries ago.' Made said.
'What tradition?' Koji asked.
'Perang Pandan. (Pandanus War)' Made replied walking forward.
They follow Made.
'Perang Pandan? What is that?' Katon asked.
'Perang Pandan known as Makere-kere is the villagers' tradition where they have to fight one on one using pandanus as their weapons and shields.' Made explained.
'Why do they do such a thing?' Herman asked.
'They do that to show their respect to Indra.' Made explained. 'Indra in Hinduism is the god of war. Once, this village was governed by a malice king named Maya Denawa, he even claimed that he was a god that he prohibited anyone to do any religious activity. This made the gods angry and Indra was sent by them to Tenganan to kill Maya Denawa. A war then occurred and Indra won the war and liberated the villagers to do any of their religious activity. That's why we still conserve this tradition to show our respect to Indra, our savior. The villagers don't judge anyone by their caste, they just believe that Indra is the most superior god.' He added.
'What a story.' Kartika said impressed.
'Hm... Dewa Indra eh?' Indra said feeling pride.
'Yup, you are the god of lewd war.' Koji said.
All of them are bursting out laugh.
'Not to mention we conserve it to attract the tourists. So, it's like hitting 2 birds with 1 stone, right?' Made added.
'So, it's a true motive.' They said down.
'Why do you give me that look?' Made asked awkwardly.
As they are walking, the villagers give them a gaze full of hatred. Wait, they are not gazing at them, they are gazing at Varz. Suddenly a man comes out from his house and throws a stone at Varz's head.
'Die, you monster!' He yelled.
The other villagers join throwing stones to Varz.
'What happened?!' Alfi asked shocked.
Kartika and the others look shocked looking at how the villagers treat Varz like that. Varz is as far as to run forward ahead fast leaving them as the villagers keep throwing stones to him.

'Made, what happened to Varz? What has he done to them that they hate him so much?' Alfi asked agitatedly.
'Calm down Your Highness, I'll elaborate on it once we reach my house.' Made explained.
Then they keep walking ignoring the angry villagers.
As they arrive at Made's house which looks like a common homey traditional house, there's a guy who looks like Varz in blue kimono and his right eye is covered by his bang standing there.
'Oh, Vincent, you are home already? Why do you look terrible?' He asked.
'Stop being so casual to me and don't call me by my name if you want to stay alive.' Varz threatened him entering the house.
"Vincent?" Alfi thought in amazement.
'Oh, welcome home. Sir Made.' He greeted Made politely.
'Oh, Franz, please tell the sages that I bring His Highness Alfi here.' Made said.
'Certainly, sir.' Franz replied entering the house.
Made then lets them in. they look like an empty living room before them which tiled wooden and Indra painting set on the wall before them. Then three men come in, they look like Made, the thing differs from them is the number on their forehead, "1", "3", and "4".
'They are the other sages, the one with "1" is Wayan, the one with "3" is Nyoman, and the one with "4" is Ketut.'
'They look silly.' Alfi said calmly.
Kartika then smacks him really hard. 'You idiot! Show them some respect, will ya!!' She yelled upset.
'So... Sorry.' Alfi said in pain.
'Hahahaha... There, there, no need to be so formal, make yourself home.' Wayan said kindly.
They then lie around the room, one is snacking, playing games, reading a book, sleeping, watching $%#[email protected]%%# video(Sorry for censoring, I didn't expect that underage read this too, wait, what do you think anyway? You sick pervert,) and even one is having @%@[email protected]#!%@^% (No, it's not like what you think. Dang, why censor changes everything anyway?)
'It doesn't mean you can do as you please, you dumb ass!!!!!' Wayan exclaimed upset.
Then they sit cross-legged neatly.
'For crying out loud, you are here to protect the world, right? Why can't you behave yourself?' Nyoman sighed.
'Oh, come on, we can't judge a book by its cover, can we?' Ketut said.
'In any cases, we will assist you to fight Waku-waku which is about to invade Bali.' Wayan said.
'That's why the gods assigned us to prepare this for you, Your Highness. We have assigned our two best disciples to assist you, Your Highness.' Made added.
Varz and Franz step forward before Alfi and friends.
'My name is Franz, it's such an honor to assist you on your mission to save the world, Your Highness.' Franz said politely bowing.
Varz just bows without saying anything and leaves the room.
'What's wrong with him?' Alfi asked in amazement.
'How could the gods know Doki-doki?' Koji asked.
'Doki-doki is an ancient power which comes from one's imagination. The power is believed that it was used by the gods only to maintain the world order, but a god named Monika came to Earth and taught the humans how to use Doki-doki. Monika then got arrested by the gods and punished forever. After what Monika did, the world was in chaos, France invading Great Britain with light javelins, The Great Wall of China was built with an electric barrier, the airplane was manufactured with anti-gravity stones, Black Death could be cured by having sex and Online Game established in the 13th century. The gods managed to turn the table, yet they couldn't just kill the remained Doki-doki users, so they added some hard conditions to those who want to be able to use Doki-doki.' Nyoman explained.
'So, in other words, Doki-doki belongs to the gods, right?' Koji said.
'Yes, they did that to minimize the same thing happen.' Ketut said.
'But, it happens again.' Reza said.
'Actually, either Doki-doki exists or not in this world, it won't give any effect to this world. The only things that can change the world are the humans themselves. And then, Waku-waku came to make it even worse.' Ketut said.
'Do you know why Waku-waku exists in this world?' Kartika asked.
'Unfortunately, we don't. All sages don't know why Waku-waku wants to destroy this world either. They just said that they want to reset the world and turn it into their very own Utopia.' Wayan explained.
'I see...' Kartika said down.
'Before Waku-waku comes, it's better for you to have a training with them. Do you mind? Your Highness?' Made asked.
'No, I don't. But-'
'Then, it's settled, please excuse us, Your Highness.' Made said bowing followed by the other sages.
The sages then get up and leave the room. Franz then sits near Alfi and says, 'Please don't mind him, Your Highness.'
'Should I?' Alfi asked.
'Yes, and the's something you have to know about him.' Franz said.
'What do you mean?' Alfi asked in amazement.
The other looks like they are interested to listen to Franz.
Meanwhile, in the place somewhere where everything is really dark and cold that hope is frozen and changed into despair, a guy in polka dot cloak with blue base color stand on the balcony where a million of polka dot guys with orange base color stand before him.
'Brace yourself! For those who could defeat His Highness Alfa or his Ally, they will get promoted and their wishes will be granted for sure!' He exclaimed.
They are shouting as their eyes on such great prize.
'Well, Your Highness Alfa, please enjoy your trip in Bali. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!' He said in a vile tone.
