《The World isn't as Ugly nor Beautiful as You Think》Afterthought
Advertisement
Those two giant bowls are heading to each destination fast. Varz, Herman, and Katon are in a room in Pinto.
'Maybe I let my guard down before, yet I will win this time for sure!' Herman challenged Varz.
'Oh, then, show me what's you got.' Varz provoked him.
'Don't forget that I am your opponent too!' Katon exclaimed smirking.
Katon draws his pen and turns it into an iron staff. He then dashes to Varz's direction. Varz summons his wind sword and blocks the assault. Varz then unsheathes his sword and swings it upwards to disarm Katon.
'Don't get too carried away!' Varz exclaimed slashing Katon with his wind sword.
Katon gets shoved crashing the floor. Meanwhile, Herman is as fast as to shoot his nails to Varz. Varz emits typhoon shield from his palm to repel those nails to every direction. Those nails are embedded in the ceiling and wall.
'It's futile.' Varz said arrogantly.
'Gotcha!' Herman exclaimed. 'Teknik Jitu: Formasi Kandang Ayam! (Ultimate Technique: Chicken Cage Formation.)' Herman exclaimed.
Those nails are glowing green and bursting many nails to Varz. Varz then summons his wind sword in his left hand and unsheathes his sword which has been layered by lightning. He then raises both his arm.
'Arit Ganda! (Double Sickle)' Varz exclaimed slashing those nails with both of his sword resulting a great shockwave that destroys all of the nails and shoves Herman crashing the wall that he loses consciousness.
'Teknik Jitu: Shinkansen! (Ultimate Technique: Shinkansen)' Katon exclaimed running to Varz's direction in high speed with his body which has been turned into solid iron.
Varz raises his sword to summon a typhoon around him. Katon then hits the typhoon and he is trying to crushing the typhoon by shoving it with his body.
Varz is seen on top of the typhoon with raising his sword. 'Typhoon Slasher!' He exclaimed slashing the typhoon into two that makes Katon fainted.
'Shall we finish it? There are many things you have to learn in order to be stronger.' Varz said firmly.
'Not yet!' Katon exclaimed trying to get up with all his might. 'I am not... Done... Yet...' He added.
Herman then gets up with all his might and says, 'Me... Too....'
Varz then smiles and says, 'Very well, considering your circumstances, I'll let you guys attack me. I don't mind if you use Combo Technique if you want to.'
'What do you mean? Are you underestimating us?!' Katon exclaimed upset.
'I am. It's because I am not sure even your Combo Technique is able to scratch me.' Varz condescended them.
'I'll make you pay a high price for that!' Katon said upset. 'Let's go, Herman!' He added putting his palm to Herman's back.
Katon channels his green Iru to Herman's nails.
'Teknik Gabungan! Tindik Besi! (Combo Technique: Iron Piercing.)' They exclaimed.
Herman shoots many nails from all of his fingers, and those nails are flying to Varz very fast. Varz then collects wind on his palm and pounds his palm to the floor summoning a great twister around him repelling those nails everywhere. Varz then swings his right arm emitting wind to those nails. In a second, those nails have been flying around Varz ready to be launched to Herman and Katon.
'Checkmate.' Varz said.
'Hey, that's cheating! You said you would let us attack you!' Katon exclaimed upset.
'I did say that I will let you attack me. I didn't say I would take it, did I? Do you think I am a moron or something?' Varz said.

'He got a point there.' Herman said.
'You, liar!' Katon exclaimed upset.
'I am not. I thought if I gave you such chance, you might have found a way to attack me. Well, I was wrong. You are dumber than I thought.' Varz sighed.
'Say what?!' Katon exclaimed upset.
'Honestly, your powers are actually very unique and strong if you want to develop it. Katon, I think your power is molecule manipulation, yet you always depend on iron ignoring the better choice instead of that. You must know what I mean, right?' Varz explained.
'You are right... I even didn't realize that I depend on iron too much. I choose iron as I think iron is durable.' Katon said.
'Don't you know that iron rusts? What if you fight against someone who manipulates water? You would find yourself in nothing but adversity if you still depended on iron.' Varz said.
'He is right.' Dron said coming out from Katon's pen. 'You have to reconsider this case. The ones we fight against must be strong, not to mention they are the orange ranked members.' He added.
'I know about that, and I don't want to lose to them either. I hate losing.' Katon replied.
'Herman, you always use your nail for ranged combat. Have you ever considered using your nail for melee combat?' Varz asked.
'Not a chance, I will always shoot my nails. If I don't, even for a single day, my life will be empty, therefore I will always shoot my nails to kick their butts! That's what my power is!' Herman exclaimed with pride.
'Nice one private!' Kolonel exclaimed coming out from Herman's tattoo.
'What a bullet brain.' Varz said in disgust. 'Even so, you have to develop it somehow.' He added.
'Well, Alfi did ask me to add nuclear explosion to my nail when we met for the first time. I managed to harden my nail like a diamond and enhance its speed like light, yet I failed to apply nuclear explosion to my nails. Power modification is harder than I thought.' Herman explained.
'Not really. Maybe you suck on it.' Varz and Katon said.
'Cut the crap!' Herman exclaimed upset.
'Even so, Herman always try to do so. Herman, the strength of Doki-doki depends on the user's imagination level. You have to imagine your nail explodes like a nuclear bomb.' Kolonel said.
'Or, by any chance, you don't know how strong nuclear is, do you?' Varz asked.
Herman nods awkwardly.
'What if we send him to fly to the nearest nuclear power plant?' Varz asked.
'I agree.' Katon agreed
'Like the hell I would! Do you think I am a mutant or something?! This is even not X-men!' Herman exclaimed upset.
'Hey, I don't think it's a bad idea. You ought to give it a shot.' Varz said.
'I agree with him.' Katon added.
'Cut the crap!' Herman exclaimed upset. 'Well, why is stopped all of sudden? I am not finished yet you know?' Herman added smirking.
'Me either.' Katon added.
'Oh, how persistent? Well, try to avoid this!' Varz said.
Herman and Katon didn't realize that the nails are still flying around Varz.
Varz points out his sword and exclaims, 'Unlimited Nail Works!' (What? Can you think of cooler name than this one?)
Those nails fly in their direction. Katon then turns his pen into a great bat and let the nails get embedded on the bat. Herman shoots a nail toward Varz. When Varz manages to avoid it, the nail emits fire to Varz. Varz then swiftly summons lightning shock wave around his body to put the fire off. Suddenly, Katon appears behind Varz ready to hit him with his nailed great bat anytime. Realizing that, Varz turns around and emits great wind from his mouth to shove Katon crashing the wall.

'So, you've gotten the idea of what "developing" really means, I guess.' Varz said smiling.
'I told you, I am not finished yet.' Herman said.
'Me either!' Katon exclaimed.
'Well, bring it on!' Varz challenged them.
They three then continue that unbalanced battle, yet Herman and Katon don't look as if they want to give up. Well, persistence and idiocy are similar. Oh well, they are Doki-doki users anyway. They are just idiots.
Meanwhile, Alfi and Koji look cornered. They are panting and their faces are soaking wet by their own sweat.
'Dang, what should I do?' Alfi said hesitated.
'What's wrong? Giving up already.' Koji provoked him.
'Oh? Don't get so cocky. We are not finished yet.' Alfi said.
'You are strong, yet you will never be able to defeat me.' Koji said.
'We shall see.' Alfi said.
'Your HP is 30% left. Just give up already.' Koji condescends him.
'Don't be so cocky. Sakura's combo is strong, you know?' Kata Alfi.
'Don't you forget that Neji's combo is a big deal?' Koji said.
Right, they are fighting on Naruto Shipuden Ultimate Ninja Storm Generations on PS 3. They both are really into this game just to kill each other's ace. Kartika is standing behind the sofa they sit on watching their "battle", and Megumi is enjoying taking care of Kacino beside Alfi.
Megumi sees Kartika's familiar look. Seeing that, Megumi takes Kacino to the other room.
'Big sis Megumi, why are we leaving? Onii-chan and big bro Alfi are still playing.' Kacino said.
'Err, let's play there. I'll make you a special delicious lunch! You may watch me make it too!' Megumi said.
'Yayy!' Kacino exclaimed in excitement.
"Kartika, you can't give that look in front of the presence of a kid. How can you be a good mother to your child?" Megumi sighed in her mind.
During their tense battle, they hear a crack of hands. Hearing it sends chills down their spine that they have no courage to look behind.
'Are you having fun there?' Kartika asked with Cakra ready to kick their butt.
They both say nothing.
'Don't you know the current circumstances? Why are you slacking around like this while there are countless innocent people die every second?' Kartika asked.
They both still remain silent.
'Hey, I am talking to you two. Where is the swearing you spit out before? Alfi, what happened to the shitty mouth of yours? Does it mean I can take my turn to "play" now?' Kartika said.
Kartika then controls Cakra to beat them up.
'Oh Alfi, is Sakura's combo like this?' Kartika asked.
Cakra jabs Alfi's stomach two times and whacks him to the floor.
'Oh, Koji, is Neji's combo like this?' Kartika asked.
Cakra hits Koji consecutively fast that Koji gets shoved crashing the wall.
'Oh, by the way, I have not finished already.' Kartika said.
'SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP US!!!' Alfi and Koji screamed panic.
Later, the room becomes messy as if it has been hit by a storm.
'Have you got your lesson, already?' Kartika asked panting.
'Yes, ma'am.' Alfi and Koji said lying on the floor.
Suddenly the LCD screen shows Varz, Herman, and Katon.
'Oh, do we come at the wrong time?' Herman asked.
'No, you are just on time. We have just had our training.' Kartika said.
'Looks like a tough one, eh?' Katon said.
'Well, it's not a training. It's a torment.' Alfi said trying to get up followed by Koji.
'Just as I've thought.' Varz said.
'These two morons were slacking off by playing games.' Kartika said.
'Alfi, is that true?' Varz asked.
'It is.' Alfi said.
'Don't you know that we have no time to slack off?' Varz asked.
'I know-'
'Then why the hell are you wasting your time?!' Varz exclaimed.
Everyone remains silent.
'Do you think we are having fun here? Do you think Waku-waku invades Bali just for a nice excursion? Do you think everything will be fine once they have reached their goal?!' Varz asked emotionally.
'We just have to kill them all, right? Chill down, we can do it.' Alfi said.
'Then, what if we can't? What if none of us can defeat them. Doki-doki does depend on one's imagination, but imagination isn't something trivial that you don't need to consider-'
'I know!' Alfi exclaimed.
Varz remains silent.
'I've fought with them all this time, and I don't care about what will happen to me. I am not afraid of Waku-waku nor death.' Alfi said. 'I... I am just afraid of losing you guys. That's why I always do stupid stuff, that I've never done before, with you.' He added sadly.
'Alfi, what do you mean?' Varz asked.
'I've lived in loneliness for a long time that I felt that my life was meaningless. Yet, when I met you guys, I finally found the meaning of my meaningless life. Well, there must a time when we have to say goodbye, right? When Waku-waku has disappeared, and the world has become a good place to live, the world won't need the Alfa anymore, right?' Alfi said.
'So, you mean, you are afraid of losing us after everything is done, aren't you?' Kartika asked worriedly. (Huh? Done? I don't think so, the stupid novelist seems not know when this story ends, I guess. Wait, I am the novelist.)
Alfi just nods awkwardly.
'Alfi, you have saved me from the prison of loneliness before. Do you think our bond will vanish once we defeat Waku-waku?' Varz asked. 'I do understand your feeling, yet I am thinking of staying with you around even the world doesn't need the Alfa anymore.' He added.
'Homo.' Alfi said in disgust.
'May I kill this asshole?' Varz said upset.
'I don't want to either.' Herman said.
'Once friends, still friends.' Koji added.
'I don't want to lose you guys either.' Katon added.
'I won't leave you either as long as you don't mind with this old hag around you of course. (Didn't I tell you that Kartika is 1500 years old?)' Kartika added.
'Guys.' Alfi said surprised.
'How about this, when it's over already, we'll live on the same neighborhood so we can stay in touch like this.' Koji said.
'Good idea! You guys can join me! I have a 5-hectares private area on Bandung.' Herman said.
'So, it's a promise between us, right?' Alfi said smiling.
'Of course!' They answered.
'We are here!' Atam and Pinto exclaimed.
'Right! Get ready to fight!' Koji exclaimed.
'Right!' They replied.
'And don't forget our promise!' Alfi exclaimed.
'Hell yeah!' They replied smiling.
Alfi, Kartika, and Koji enter the area of Tirta Empul temple. In the main court, they see a dreadlocks guy in white bottom-cloth. He gives them a cold gaze and turns himself into a tiger. He then dashes towards them. Alfi then draws Tipit and swing it upwards hitting its head and send him flying. Koji then emits flame from his glasses, yet the guy turns himself into an eagle and flies back to where he stood before.
Meanwhile, Varz, Herman, and Katon enter the area of Kertha Gosa. Suddenly a guy in orange loincloth like Tarzan jumps out from nowhere and catches Herman. He then leaps to the sky bringing Herman with him.
'Hey, cutie.' He tempted Herman.
'No! I'm still a virgin!' Herman exclaimed.
'Katon, let's go!' Varz exclaimed.
'Right!' Katon replied.
Varz and Katon then jump to the sky to reach that Tarzan guy.
'Oh, what a bunch of lovely cheese. Please go out with me.' The guy said in excitement.
Varz unsheathes his sword and Katon turns his pen into a great sword.
'I am sorry, but I hate cheese.' Varz said.
'If I am cheese, then you are a boogie!' Katon said.
'Hukuman Langit! (Sky Punishment.)' They two exclaimed slashing that Tarzan guy that he falls to the park pool.
They three then land on the wind platform that Varz has set up before.
'Thanks.' Herman said.
'Don't mention it.' Varz said.
'We are here to defeat you for the world's sake! Prepare yourself!' Alfi and Varz exclaimed.

As he tries desperately to find power in a world determined to rob him of it, his cousin Rhiann plots to find freedom through more extreme and destructive means.
