'Why?' Varz asked. 'Why are you so mad when you saw him dead before you?!' Varz exclaimed.Alfi remains silent.'What do you know about him? You are no one but a mere self-claimed world protector. You are not his brother! You are not his friend! You are not his family! You are no one! Don't act as if you are his protector!' Varz exclaimed.'Isn't it natural if I get mad...' Alfi Said. 'when the one I have to protect dead before me? I am the world protector, which means I also have to protect the people though they loathe me.' He added.'Cut the crap!' Varz exclaimed summoning his wind sword and swing it to slash Alfi horizontally.
Alfi is as far as to draw Tipit from his bracelet and swing it to block Varz's sword.'Varz, listen to me, I don't know what your problem is, and it's OK if you don't want to tell me, but we have to work together so that we can return immediately.' Alfi said.
Varz then jumps backward.'You get it?' Alfi asked.'Humph, don't get me wrong. I'll kill that guy alone. Don't ever try to help me.' Varz said rushing towards Agung.'Honey, cut it out already. There's no use in talking to him.' Megumi warned.'You are wrong, honey, have you forgotten about it? The one who doesn't need a help is the one who needs it most.' Alfi said.
When varz is close enough to Agung, he then jumps and swings his sword which has been amplified by a vicious wind to slash Agung left arm, but it doesn't work again. Agung is about to crush Varz, but Varz manages to dodge it.'Such weak attack won't scratch my skin!' He exclaimed about to punch Varz.
Varz then jumps to dodge it. Suddenly, Agung launches his fist at Varz who is still on the midair. Varz then points his wind sword to the sky and lets the wind goes wild as it makes Varz descend fast. Varz puts a stance by holding the grip tightly and putting the sword his waist pointed behind.'Bulan Sabit(Crescent Moon)!' Varz exclaimed swinging his sword that it creates a wind wave which dashes fast through Agung's left arm.'ARRGHH!' Agung roared overbalanced.
Varz then dashes towards Agung to kill him once and for all. Suddenly Agung Gets his balance back that he stands again and launches his punch to Varz fast. Varz wants to dodge, but he can't do it in time as his leg is broken."Shit, maybe I broke it when I landed. Not to mention I pushed myself to dash. I can't make it in time!" Varz said in his mind agitated.
When Agung's punch is about to hit Varz, suddenly Alfi dashes to Varz to block the punch with Tipit.'You!' Varz exclaimed.'Varz! Run!' Alfi exclaimed. 'Even Tipit can't hold it any longer.' He added agitated.
Megumi then tugs Varz to stay away from there before Alfi lets it go.'Stop running! Fight me! Or should I chase you?' He exclaimed.'You know, I could die if you punch me.' Alfi said.'If you can't defeat me, how can you finish this ordeal?' Agung said.'What if I give you an instant noodle supply for a year for letting us pass?' Alfi offered.'Are you trying to bribe me?' Agung asked pissed out.'No, no, no, I just-' Agung punches Alfi fast and hard.

When he pulls his hand, the destroyed Alfi has turned into the shards of the yellow clip.'You son of a bitch!' Agung enraged.
Meanwhile, Alfi and Varz managed to escape to a cave not too far from there. Alfi, Megumi and Varz are sitting awkwardly around the bonfire.'Varz, may I ask you something?' Alfi asked.Varz gives him a cold gaze.'Alfi, why you talk to him? I told you it's no use.' Megumi said upset.'Megumi, I told you-''She's right.' Varz said. 'There's no use in talking to the likes of me.' He added.'I don't think so.' Alfi said.'You hypocrite! Don't be so casual to me. You just consider me a transgressor, right?' Varz said upset.'No.' Alfi replied.'Don't lie to me! I insulted you, hurt you, and even hurt your friends. You must plan to kill me, right?' Varz said upset.'No. I was mad at you as you hurt my friends, but you did realize me that my responsibility is not that easy, so... Thank you.' Alfi said.Varz remains silent.'Varz.' Alfi said putting a pot full of popcorn seeds onto the fire. 'You must know what happened to our world, right? Why do you want to destroy it, whereas you are on our side?' Alfi asked.'How do you know?' Varz asked upset.
The pot sounds popping. Alfi pulls it and takes the lid. Alfi grabs some popcorn and eats it.'You told me before, remember?' Alfi said.
Varz remains silent. 'From what you said, I felt you meant it.' Alfi said. 'If you have not told me, I would have known in the first place by seeing the sadness on your eye.' He added.
Alfi put the pot full of water onto the fire. When it's boiling, he pulls it and makes a glass of coffee by mixing powdered coffee and hot water. Alfi then gives it to Varz.'Have a drink.' Alfi said.
Varz takes a sip of the coffee.'Delicious.' Varz said.'Glad to hear that.' Alfi said.
Varz shows a bit of his smile to Alfi.'Thank you.' Varz said awkwardly.'You are welcome.' Alfi said.'Alfi.' Varz said. 'Why did you help me before? You did know that it can't be blocked for a long time?' He asked.'There's no reason to help a friend. Even though I know the risk, I will help my friend no matter how big the risk is.' Alfi explained.'Friend? It means...' Varz said surprised.'Yup, I want to be your friend. It's OK if you don't want to be mine.' Alfi said.'Are you sure? After what I've done to you...' Varz said.'Everyone has their own reason behind every act they chose to do. I am sure you did that to remind me that the burden I shoulder is hard, yet I took it for granted.' Alfi said.'You are so interesting.' Varz said smiling at him. 'But, it's not the reason.' He added.'Really?' Alfi asked. 'Tell me then.' He added.'Maybe next time.' Varz said winking his left eye.

Alfi then laughs and Varz laughs too.'Hey Varz, I have an idea to defeat this Agung guy, but I need your help.' Alfi asked.'I don't mind, but I just broke my leg.' Varz said.'Don't worry.' Alfi said drawing magic curtain from his bracelet.
Alfi then covers Varz' leg with the magic curtain. Alfi the draws it and returns the curtain to his bracelet.'My leg.. is recovered?' Varz said in amazement'Magic curtain is able to manipulate Iru. I can use it to turn any entity into anything, heal anyone, even resurrect the dead.' Alfi explained.'It's so convenient.' Varz said.'So, here's the plan.' Alfi said whispering something to Varz.
Later, Alfi and Varz are back to fight Agung. The shards of yellow clip merge to its real form and fly back to Alfi's bracelet.
'So, you are here to be crushed?' Agung asked.
'Huh? I thought you've considered my offer.' Alfi said disappointedly.
'Shut up! I'll make sure you'll be crushed!' Agung enraged.
'I am sorry, I just can't make my friends wait any longer.' Alfi said.
Agung dashes towards them fast to crush them. Varz and Alfi are splitting up to dodge that deadly attack. Alfi is running to the left, and Varz is running to the right. Agung then chases Alfi who is dashing with Sketor on his feet.
'Oh, You are after me, eh? Do you hate me so much?' Alfi said keep dashing.
'I'll crush you first!' Agung enraged.
'What if I give you an omelet supply for a year for letting us pass?' Alfi offered.
'Cut the crap!' Agung enraged pissed off.
'Kabut (Fog)!' Varz exclaimed emitting a lot of wind from his mouth that Agung gets slower.
'What is this? Distraction?' Agung said pissed off.
Varz makes a surprise attack by slashing Agung's shoulders with his wind sword. Varz then jumps backward and Agung just looks fine.
"He said that I had to distract this guy for two minutes. I guess he has a plan. I'll try to fight him for two minutes and I'll leave the rest to him." Varz thought.
'Oi Varz, please take care of him.' Alfi said reading a small black book.
'Cut the crap! Just help me fight him you asshole!' Varz exclaimed upset.
Suddenly, Agung launches his punch to Varz, and Varz manages to dodge it.
'Please be patient. I'm still recharging my Iru. So, please take care of him.' Alfi said reading the book with a pervert look on his face.
"Is he reliable? I'll cut him into two if he fails." Varz thought upset.
Varz then runs around Agung, so that Agung will hardly attack Varz.
'Hold still please! I can't crush you if you keep running like this.' Agung enraged.
'If I do, I can get crushed, you moron.' Varz said keep running.
Agung then roars and starts to keep punching aimlessly and Varz keep running around him incredibly fast that he can dodge the punches so easy, whereas he is just two meters from Agung.
5 seconds to go. Varz then jumps backward and emits wind from his mouth.
'Kabut!(Fog)' Varz exclaimed.
'It's no use!' Agung exclaimed running through the fog and ready to punch Varz.
'What?!' Varz exclaimed.
'The same trick won't do!' Agung exclaimed.
When Agung is about to punch Varz, Alfi appears to block Agung's attack.
'Good job, Varz!' Alfi exclaimed.
Varz sees Alfi wearing a pair of white anti-heat gloves and somehow Alfi looks not having a hard time blocking Agung's attack.
"Right, he said that this guy layers himself in many Iru layers that I can't cut his Iru circulation and Alfi's crowbar can't negate Agung's punch, which means we have to absorb his strength somehow." Varz thought.
'Weapon number 7: Shikulo, a pair of anti-heat gloves which can absorb the opponent's strength.' Alfi said.
'So that's your plan, but is it OK to talk it loud to him?' Varz asked.
'He is a moron. He won't understand what just I talk about.' Alfi said.
'Who you called moron?' Agung enraged.
Alfi gives Agung's fist an uppercut and says, 'I did!'
Alfi then punches Agung that he is shoved crashing a tree. Alfi then dashes and punches him constantly with no mercy.
'No! Now! No! Now! (Apa? "Ora" in Javanese means "no", and in Italian means"now")' Alfi exclaimed keep punching him that Agung shoved and crashes a stone wall.
Alfi's fingers turn into forks and he kisses his bracelet. Shikulo then glows silver and Alfi disappears. Agung feels he is scratched over and over. Alfi then appears in front of his face ready to launch his final attack.
'Teknik Jitu: Aichmophobia! (Ultimate Technique: Aichmophobia)' Alfi said stabbing his fork claw to Agung and Agung disappears in no time.
'We won.' Varz said approaching Alfi.
Alfi turns around and says, 'Yup, good job.'
Varz smiles and says, 'We still have 2 bosses to go.'
'I know, but let's take a break. I am beat.' Alfi said drawing his magic curtain from his bracelet.
'What are you doing?' Varz asked.
'I don't want to sleep with a guy. I am normal.' Alfi said covering the stone in front of him with the magic curtain.
'Like the hell I do!' Varz exclaimed upset.
Alfi then draws his curtain and returns it back to his bracelet. The stone has turned into a 5-star hotel with the best service and certified.
'Let's go.' Alfi said. 'Megumi, I am starving.' He said.
'I'll make something special for you, honey.' Megumi said.
Varz is still there. He doesn't believe that he just made a friend with a guy he just met. He then smiles and enters the entrance.
"Arz, finally I've made a friend. I am so happy." He said in his mind.
