BoBoiBoy: Eclipsed | A BoBoiBoy Fanfiction

CHAPTER 02

Darkness engulfed the landscape. The air crackled with tension, and the oppressive weight of an unseen force pressed down on Boboiboy's chest. He stood alone on a battlefield scarred by fire and lightning, the ground beneath him fractured and glowing with residual energy. Shadows danced around him, twisting and morphing into figures he recognized all too well.

"Did you really think you could defeat me?" The voice was deep, taunting, and unmistakably familiar. Retak'ka emerged from the shadows, his form towering and wreathed in a sickly red glow. His eyes, burning with malice, locked onto Boboiboy's, freezing him in place.

"No..." Boboiboy whispered, his fists clenching at his sides. He tried to summon his powers— any of his elemental powers, but nothing came. Panic clawed at him.

He was defenseless.

Retak'ka took a step forward, and the ground cracked beneath his feet. "You still have no idea what you've unleashed," he laughed in a sinister tone, his voice low and sinister. "The pieces are already in motion."

As the distance between them closed, Boboiboy's breath quickened. Memories of their brutal battle flashed in his mind—Retak'ka's overwhelming strength, the pain, the fear of losing everything and everyone he cared about. He tried to move, to fight back, but he was paralyzed.

"Stop!" he yelled, his voice echoing into the void.

Suddenly, Retak'ka's hand closed around his throat, and the world went black.

Boboiboy jolted awake, his breath coming in ragged gasps, sweat soaking his shirt. His heart pounded like a drumbeat, and for a few moments, he couldn't shake the suffocating feeling of Retak'ka's grip around his neck. He sat up abruptly, clutching his chest.

A soft blue light illuminated the room. "Boboiboy?" Ochobot's gentle voice pierced through the darkness, filled with concern. The small robotic companion floated closer, his eyes glowing softly. "You were having another nightmare, weren't you?"

Boboiboy didn't respond immediately. He pressed the heels of his palms to his eyes, willing the lingering fear to disappear. After a few deep breaths. "Yeah... it was him again." He nodded, hinting at Retak'ka.

It had been happening for weeks now. Ever since their final battle with Retak'ka, Boboiboy couldn't shake the shadows that lingered in his mind. The galaxy was safe, for now, but the memories of that fight clung to him like a dark cloud. He remembered the overwhelming force of Retak'ka's power, the weight of every decision he had to make, and the fear of what might happen if he failed. Even now, in the quiet of his room, he could still feel echoes of that fight—the clash of energy, the blinding light, the suffocating sense of responsibility.

Ochobot hovered closer, his presence warm and reassuring. "It's okay, Boboiboy. It was just a dream."

"But it wasn't just a dream, Ochobot." Boboiboy's voice was low, tinged with frustration and exhaustion. "He might be gone, but... he left something behind. It feels like he's still there, in my head, reminding me that I couldn't do it alone. I needed help to beat him, and I still don't know if I'm strong enough."

Ochobot tilted his head, his mechanical eyes filled with a soft glow of understanding. "You are strong, Boboiboy. Not because you fight alone, but because you have people who care about you. We all do. Retak'ka was a powerful enemy, but you defeated him by working with your friends, by trusting them."

Boboiboy stared at his hands, feeling the weight of his doubts. "But what if I can't protect everyone next time? What if... I fail again?"

Ochobot floated closer, gently resting beside Boboiboy. "You won't have to face it alone. You never have to."
