Pretty: What happened?! I, are you okay?
Scene – A door opens suddenly, and Precious falls through it, with Gesha wrapped around his neck.
Gesha: Ammmm~!

Lior: Precious, are you alright?
Precious: Yeah, I'm fine—but someone please get her off me!
Pretty: GET OFF PRECIOUS!!!
Scene – Pretty grabs Gesha and forcefully pulls her off Precious.

Pretty: Stand behind me and stay quiet.
Precious: Yes, ma'am!!
Lior: Do you know Precious?
Gesha: Ahaha, no, no, not at all!
Lior: Then why were you hugging him?
Gesha: He's just so cute, what else could I do, ugh!
Lior: Cute, huh?! I'm the cutest one here!
Gesha: Hah! Who told you that?
They probably don't even know what cute means!
Scene – Lior walks to the corner sadly.
Lior: Two rejections in two days… T_T
Bety: Aww, it's okay.
Tety: You're cute to us at least.
Bety: Hmm!
Pretty: So, who are you?
Yuvraj: Yeah, good question—who are you really?
Gesha: Hello! My name is Gesha, I'm from Secret Sky City!
Everyone: Ooooooh… wow! Secret Sky City!
Pretty: So what? Coming from Secret Sky isn't that big of a deal.
Why are you here?
Gesha: I came on an assignment.
I heard the Black Group attacked this village and got defeated.
Precious: Yeah! That was all Lior's doing!
Gesha: Cute, cute, cute! You're so cute!
Pretty: I—can you not stand quietly behind me?!
Precious: Sorry! I won't say another word! T_*
Pretty: So you beat them—so what?
Gesha: Well, Secret Sky City is planning to attack the Black Group soon.
We're building a powerful army, and I'm in charge of recruiting.
That's why I came to meet your fighters…
But this kid beat them all?!
He's strong… but still nothing compared to our King.
Pretty: Oh really?
You're comparing a child to your King, and still admitting he has power?
Gesha: Ehhh…!
Pretty: Ehhhhh!!
Precious (thinking):
If a war breaks out… forget the Black Group, many of our own people and families could be lost.
Kail: So what now?
Precious: What do you think I'm going to do?
Kail: Got it. This is going to be fun! OOOYAA!
Precious: Oh yeah, I just remembered something important—I'll be back soon.
Pretty: Hmm, okay. Bye.
Gesha: But… but I still had more to talk about! T_T
Pretty: I'll talk to you instead.
Scene – Precious walks off.
Gesha: I don't talk to kids! Call someone older!
Pretty: Then let's go to the Guild Hall.
You can meet Uncle Barn and Uncle Tall there.
Gesha: Alright, let's go then.
Everyone: What is even going on...?
Lior: But as the leader of this team, I should be the one making decisions!! T_T
Bety: Yeah, yeah… sure -_-
Scene shift – Territory of Bil
Precious teleports in.
Precious: So this is the Black Group's base?
Hmm, not bad.
Alright, let's get this over with—I need to get back soon.
Kail: Be on guard.
Precious: Don't worry. I'm not losing to anyone here.
Let's finish this fast.
Kail: Roger, sir!
Scene – Inside the Territory
Everyone notices Precious.
"Why is there a 9-year-old kid here? What is he doing?"
Random Member: Hey kid! Who are you? What are you doing here?
Precious: Umm… I need to speak with your leader. Where can I find him?
Random Member: He doesn't just meet anyone.
He comes and goes as he pleases.
Precious: Oh. In that case, sorry—
but I'll have to force him to show up.
Random Member: How?
Precious: By… killing everyone here. Sorry in advance!
Random Member: Huh?!

Everyone: WHAT?!
Precious: Please, I don't have time.

Everyone nearby gets crushed into the ground.
Everyone: WHAAT…!!?
Scene – Yomi, Black G, and Black Ki arrive.
Precious: Same for all of you.
Scene – They also get buried into the ground.
Scene – Power Black appears on the battlefield.
Hina: What is happening here?!
Nanashi: A kid did this?!
Eri: We lost to a child?!
Precious: Man, how many more of you are there?
Let me finish this and go home already.
Scene – Precious waves his hand again.
Everyone except Hina gets buried in the ground.
Hina: WHAT?!
Precious: Ooh… looks like one of you has some power.
Hina (thinking):
He's no ordinary child…
His power is on Demon Lord level… maybe more!
Hina: Who are you? Why are you doing this?
Precious: Oh, it's for everyone's benefit.
Even yours.
Hina: How?
Precious: Secret Sky is planning an attack here soon.
A full-on war.
If that happens, a lot of people will die, including your friends.
This way, a little pain now saves a lot later.
Hina: Even if that war starts, we'll win!
You came here alone to save them?
Precious: Sigh… You won't understand.
I'll just talk to your leader.
Where is he?
Hina: First, defeat me!
Sand Trap! (Precious's legs are stuck in the ground)
Hina: Collab Air! (Powerful wind pressure hits from all directions)
Precious: Aaaawwww...
Hina: Huh?! No effect?!
Scene – Precious is standing still, clothes untouched.
Precious: Oh, sorry—I didn't introduce myself.
Hina: !?
Precious: Attacks using Water, Air, Fire, Earth, Ice, or Null elements don't work on me.
Only Void and Space have a little effect. Maybe.
Hina: WHAT THE HECK ARE YOU?!!
Scene – Precious looks at the ground near Hina's feet, and a deep crater appears.
Precious:
How long are you going to hide?
Come out already, Power Black.
Scene – Power Black enters the battlefield.
Everything on him is black except his eyes and skin.
Precious: Very good.
Power Black: So, you knew I was here.
Precious: Of course.
I knew before the battle even started—
Just waited for you to show up.
Power Black: I am Jala, subordinate of Devil Black.
Precious: -_- Not interested in introductions. Let's talk business.
Jala: I already know what you came to say.
Precious: Then that makes this easier.
Jala: And my answer is no.
Now… DIE!
Ultimate Skill: Lord of Althor Ginasu!

Jala: DIE!! HAHAHA!
Scene – All nearby buildings collapse.
Some Black members are crushed, some die.
The illusion copy attacks Precious, and disappears.
A small blast happens.
BUT—Precious remains standing, completely untouched.
Jala: WHAT!!
Precious: Now it's my turn—Fireball.
Jala: Hah! That won't defeat me!
Scene – The small fireball hits Jala, and he's knocked back and defeated.
Jala: Aghhh! Wh...What... was that?!
Precious: Alright, job's done.
I'm heading back to Reverse Hill.
Scene – Everything is back to normal.
Precious: You all should leave too.
And don't try something like this again.
If you want, you can stay in Secret Sky.
Everyone: (shocked)
Jala: We're loyal to our Lord.
We won't abandon him.
Precious: Okay.
Scene – Precious teleports away.
Scene – Back at Bees Village, in the Guild Hall.
Lior, Gesha, Tall, Barn, Pretty, Kin, and Pintu are talking.
Tall: Hmm… so that's how it is.
Kin: We can join the war, but what if we die?
What will happen to my kids?
Tall: That's true…
Barn: Also, we all lost in the last war.
It was Lior who led us to victory.
Gesha: Oh, so Lior… are you joining?
Lior: I don't mind, as long as Mom and Dad agree.
Scene – Precious enters from a distance.
Kin: No! Absolutely not!
Precious: Yoo~ I'm back. What's going on?
Pretty: Lior wants to join the war.
Precious: So? Let him go—he's strong.
Kin: Yeah, he has power, but he's still a child.
Precious (telepathically) to Gesha:
I've already dealt with the Black Group.
No need for war anymore—please tell them.
Gesha: Hmm, okay.
Gesha: Oh! I just received a mind call from the King.
He said there's no need for war now.
He personally defeated the Black Group.
Everyone: (shocked)
Lior: Well, that's what I expect from the King of Secret Sky.
Kin: Haaahhh… we're saved...
