Seek The Star

Chapter 1

Cici Ko, also known as Koko Ci, frantically types on his keyboard as he realizes his spaceship is experiencing a navigation error. Despite entering the coordinates to the T.A.P.O.P.S. Station, the ship fails to proceed to its intended destination.

He sighs as he slowly removes his shades, revealing another pair of sunglasses underneath.

Yaya and Ying walk in and notice their commander wearing a look of despair. "Is something wrong, Commander?" they ask in unison.

"I've been trying to figure out the error and fix it, but I just can't seem to find anything wrong. Our navigation system isn't working, so we can't set our spaceship on course to the T.A.P.O.P.S. station."

Yaya and Ying exchange a worried glance at each other.

"Hm... then maybe we should ask Ochobot to help us get there without any worries," Yaya proposed.

"Nonsense! The Hero of Justice should never cheat their way out of a problem like this!" Everyone turned to see Papa Zola strike a heroic pose, with one hand furrowing his brow.

"But Papa Zola, we're lost. We need Ochobot to get us back on track," Ying tried to reason with him, but Papa Zola wasn't convinced.

"No, no, no. We should solve this kind of problem like true Heroes of Justice! Or we'll encounter this problem a second, or third, or even a hundred times!" Papa Zola exclaimed.

Yaya, Ying, and Commander Koko Ci looked at him with dead eyes, frustrated that he had a point. It was a rare occurrence that Papa Zola spoke like a normal person.

"Eh? What's going on here?" Boboiboy, Gopal, and Fang heard the commotion and rushed in.

"We need your help, Ochobot," Yaya said as Ochobot appeared behind Boboiboy.

"Yes, what's the matter?" Ochobot asked, looking concerned.

"We were supposed to be on our way to the station, but we've hit a navigation error and can't seem to fix it," Ying explained.

"I see. Is there something specific you need me to do?" Ochobot asked, ready to assist in any way he could. Boboiboy, Gopal, and Fang had all gathered around Commander Koko Ci's seat to see what was going on.

"Well... The Hero of Justice never cheats!"

"Dey Papa Zola, what do you mean by that?" Gopal looked confused at Papa Zola.

"WE! ARE! LOST!" Papa Zola posed on each word he spoke.

The boys went silent.

"Whaaat?!"

"Young Gopal! I said-"

"I get it! Hrm..." Knowing that Papa Zola won't explain how they got lost, he gives up.

"Have you contacted the others for help, Commander?" Fang goes beside Koko Ci.

"I've tried a hundred times, but nothing has come through." Koko Ci sighs again.

Boboiboy glances at Ochobot. "Then Ochobot should--"

The spaceship somehow had a turbulence. Yaya and Ying look at each other thinking there's no way there's a turbulence in the space.

There should be a red alert by now but no alarm has been happening, just an earthquake-like shaking.

"What is going on!" Gopal grab a table to balance. Everyone except Papa Zola wails like a girl trying to steady themselves.

"The situation is not good," Ying said, her eyes scanning the console for any indication of what was happening.

Koko Ci typed rapidly on the keyboard. "No damage. No error. My commands won't even compile and execute!"
