Boboiboy Heroes: The End is Near (BOOK 4)

Five Forces

It was two years and a half since Boboiboy was gone. No matter how hard everyone kept an eye out for him, they was still no clue or sign. Not long after, he wasn't on the list of the world's top crime anymore. Pulau Rintis had became one of the most well-known city for its securities with the help from the Five Forces, the name Astor, Gopal, Ying, Yaya and Fang gave themselves.

"So tell us, where and how do you get these amazing powers?" a interviewer asked Fang.

"Uh, we got it from these things on our wrist." He showed up his power band.

"And what is it called?" asked another interviewer.

"A power band." Fang winced as a flash of light came at his face, someone must have taken a picture of him and forgotten to turn off the flash.

"Where are your friends and what are you up to now?" asked a random voice among the crowd of cameramen and interviewers.

"I-I need to go." Fang adjusted his glasses and jumped, using the shadows to support his strength.

The crowd gasped as a shadow eagle came together below him and took off into the blue sky, over the buildings. The people of the city was crazy to have an interview with the gang. They would go to their houses, find them on a random street and even interrupt them when they were having dinner. They were rather much annoying.

He twirled around a tall, five coloured building that represented each of the Five Force's powers. He went round to the second tallest part which was made out of curling shadows. The shadow eagle flapped its wings in a landing pace as a part of the shadow wall opened up, giving way for the eagle to enter into their headquarters. He jumped down from his eagle as it dispersed into thin air.

"Fang!" Ying exclaimed somewhere beside him.

He heard running footsteps and turned to where the voice came from. When he did, Ying gave him a big warm bear hug and he chuckled. He hugged back and pushed her away from him slightly, but still in his arms. He looked at her in the eyes with a light smile.

"Have there been any new signs?"

She shook her head slowly. "Sadly, no. It's been the same thing for the past two years."

He sighed. "I wanted to find Boboiboy back and make sure the world stays safe. Even know I'm jealous of him and all, but it feels odd when he's absent for two years and a half."

"I know, same things here. We all feel the same. Well, except for that jealous part."

He smiled slightly and both of them took a walk round the building.

Astor was looking out of the glass window of his over the streets and buildings. His office was on the highest floor. He thought of the last words Boboiboy said to him and that, girl, that who-knows-why he forgotten girl. No matter how many times he tried thinking of her features and behaviour, he couldn't remember even a single thing. He then noticed he was day-dreaming again, he's been doing that a lot since and it has been slowing down his progress on his research.

He turned his chair and now in front of him was a two meters long office table. The right side of it has a pile of files and documents stacked up above each other. The other side was much more empty, it was his writing area. In the middle was his laptop, the same laptop he had used over the past few years. He opened the cover and waited for it to on. He sat back and looked around the room, it was quiet, really quiet. Then suddenly he heard voices coming from the staircase at the room's corner. Probably one male and one female. He stared at the staircase until two figures came up. It was Fang and Ying holding hands together while talking to each other.

"Hey Astor," Fang said turning his attention to him.

"Hello." He put his hand up and lowered it.

"Hope we're not bothering you, though," Ying said.

He shook his head. "No, no. You can continue on, the point is don't let me interrupt your talk."

They smiled and walked on while whispering to each other now. Astor watched them walk to the other corner and then disappearing into the room opposite.

He sighed then looked back at his laptop. It was on for minutes already, waiting for him to get its attention. He sat forward and typed in his password and let it load a while. He went to his soft-documents and went into the research file that may be clues about his lost brother.

Another screen popped up with pictures. He scrolled through them one by one, investigating the images' similarities and differences. Most of the images was a ground which cracked one millimetre every month. That was the only and closest clue in the two and a half year's time. People had tried filling in the cracks before but the concrete would just slip down inside, deep into nowhere. Scientists believed the cracks are deeper than the deepest holes and trenches in the world.

Since the world had already heard about Boboiboy, they had rumours that those crack, or whatever it is, will be the start on how the world changes.
