Scene – Four years later, in Bees Village, there's an open area with a large tree.
Nine kids, aged between 8 and 10 years, are sitting under it.
Narration (Precious):
"Yo! My name is Precious and I'm 9 years old. Sitting next to me is my brother, Lior — he's also 9, just a month younger than me.
Then there are Tety and Bety — my twin sisters, both 8.
Next is Yuvraj, age 9 — my friend.
Then Shai, also 9 — another one of my friends.
Here's Utli, age 9 — friend.
Bak, age 9 — friend.
And Shanu, age 9 — another friend.
So yeah, in our group, only Tety and Bety are 8 years old.
There are 5 boys and 4 girls in our group."
Shanu: "What's wrong, Precious? What are you thinking?"
Precious: "Nothing."
Tety: "So, shall we get started with our plan?"
Lior: "Let's go!"
Scene –
An open field with a road that travelers use to enter Bees Village.
A large boulder is placed slightly off the road, behind which Precious and his friends are hiding.
A mana-powered car is approaching the village.
Lior: "Okay team, look! A mana car is coming — this is today's target."
Bak: "Alright then, let's do this!"
Yuvraj: "Wait a second! Everyone remembers their roles, right? Precious?"
Precious: "Yeah, I know mine."
Scene – Tety and Bety walk in front of the car, forcing it to stop.
The car is quickly surrounded by the group.
Precious opens the door and enters the car.
Traveler (Jeta): "Driver, what's happening!?"
Driver: "I don't know, sir. This is my first time in this area.
Looks like… kids, maybe bandits?"
Scene – Precious is now inside the car.
Jeta: "Who are you, kid? What do you think you're doing?"
Precious: "What do you think I'm doing?"
Jeta: "You look like a bunch of thieves! Do you even know who I am?
I'm an officer of the biggest guild in Diki City. My name is Jeta!"
Precious: "Well, Jeta, you can hand over your luggage and be on your way."
Jeta: "Ice Shard!"
Scene – Precious dodges it and grabs the suitcase inside the car, then jumps out.
Jeta gets slightly injured in the process.
Jeta: "You brats... you're all done for now!"
Lior: "Well done, Precious!"
Tety: "Nice hit!"
Scene – Jeta's injury quickly heals.
Jeta: "Thanks for that, but enough is enough. Give me back my stuff — this is your final warning!"
Shai: "We'll return it, just let us have a little more fun first!"
Jeta: "AAAAAARGHH!!
Boost! Enchant! Ice Bomb!"
Scene – A blast happens, but after the smoke clears, it's revealed that Lior protected everyone with a barrier.
Lior: "Whoa, sir! Are you trying to kill us!?"
Jeta: "Just give me back my stuff and I'll let you go!"
Lior: "We're actually helping you!"
Jeta: "Helping me? How!?"
Lior: "You've traveled such a long way and must be tired from sitting all day.
So we thought we'd spice things up for you a bit!"
Jeta: "Alright, fine. Now hand it over."
Lior: "Not yet!"
Jeta: "Huh!? What now? What do you want!?"
Lior: "Everyone who comes to this village gets welcomed by our group first.
Then we drop them off wherever they want to go."
Jeta: "Oh… alright. I need to go to the guild. Lead the way."
Lior: "Not like that."
Jeta: "Then how?"
Precious: "Not in the car."
Utli: "Hello, driver uncle! You can go now."
Scene – The car drives off.
Jeta: "So are we walking now?"
Tety: "Exactly."
Bety: "But not you!"
Scene – Precious whistles. Pizu flies in from above.
Jeta: "WHAT is that!?"
Precious: "Don't be scared — this is our friend, Pizu."
Jeta: "These kids have tamed a beast?! And even given it a name!? Hahaha!"
Shanu: "Please sit on him."
Scene – Pizu enlarges himself. Everyone hops on, and Pizu takes flight.
Precious: "Pizu, to the Guild!"
Scene 2 – Pizu lands in front of the Guild building.
Jeta: "Thanks, kids."
Lior: "Did you enjoy our welcome?"
Jeta: "Not just enjoyed — it was amazing!"
Bety: "Thank you!"
Jeta: "Okay now… can I have my suitcase back?"
Yuvraj: "Oh right! Here you go, uncle."
Scene – Jeta enters the Guild, and Precious and his friends fly back to the big tree on Pizu.
