Boboiboy Heroes: The End is Near (BOOK 4)

Rainforest

The Five Forces made their way to the rainforest of the floating island and took shelter in an area they had once camped at before. The trees stood up tall and proud around them, making the sunlight only able to shine in from above. The soil was in good condition. It wasn't cracking nor too muddy, just perfect to be standing on.

"We should be safe here." Fang panted.

"Let's set up camp," Yaya said enthusiastically.

They stayed there, not leaving the area even when dusk came. The area was set up with protective shadow containers that both Gopal and Fang made, just in case they were caught. The protective shadow containers were like a glass tubes which was fully contained of pure dark shadows, it surrounded every perimeter of their ground. Gopal was roasting marshmallows by the fire and consuming them satisfyingly. Astor and Fang were both looking at the hologram Ochobot was showing with the information Klamkabot earlier sent. Alxebot was analysing the black pearl. Ying and Yaya were both making dinner by another fire which was away from Gopal's. The fire was supposed to be theirs but Gopal wanted to borrow it for a moment. They had tried asking it back but Gopal kept on saying a little while more and finally both of them gave up and made another fire of their own. They were cooking wet noodles in a boiling pot which was hung over the fire. Yaya stirred it while Ying was getting leaves from the forest to be later used as bowls.

"Hey Gopal, mind transforming these into bowls?" Ying showed him the leaves which were stacked up above each other on a wooden log.

"Sure!" Gopal said with his mouth stuffed with marshmallows.

He put his marshmallows down and gathered a sphere of purple coloured energy in between his palms.

"Bowls transformation!"

The energy went through the leaves. The leaves now were no longer leaves, but bowls, plastic bowls. Ying looked back at Gopal and gave him a smile.

"Thanks Gopal!" 

He took his marshmallow stick and munched on it. "You're welcome."

Yaya took the bowls one by one like it was there before and poured in wet noodles and left it on another log. Ying ran to her with yellow aura following behind her and helped Yaya speed up the process. In total, they have filled five bowls of noodles. They each took one or two and brought it to Astor, Gopal and Fang. 

"Thanks," Astor said once he received one from Yaya.

"Thank you," Fang said warmly when he got his from Ying.

Ying giggled. "No problem."

He watched her ran back to the log with two more bowls left, probably her and Yaya's. Both of them sat down and slurped on the noodles, chatting with each other happily. A ghost of a smile found its way onto Fang's lips as he saw how happy Ying was.

"You OK?" Astor asked from behind him.

Fang turned back to see Astor having one of his eyebrow raised. He still didn't manage to get rid of the smile so he kept it on. 

"Nothing, nothing." He shrugged.

Astor smirked. "Is it Ying?" he asked in a way.

Fang felt his face warming up. He must be blushing. He looked away immediately as his smile grew uncontrollably wider.

"No........."

Astor chuckled. "You don't need to hide it from me Fang, I know it is."

Fang inhaled and exhaled slowly to hopefully, get rid of the blush. He turned back casually when he was done.

"OK, OK, fine, you got me." He lifted his palm to show his surrender and put it down.

Astor smiled and opened his mouth to speak.

"Let'sss get back to work, while eating noodles this time," Astor said.

Night fell and all of them were tucked up in their portable beds. Ying and Yaya had the tent since Astor insisted Gopal and Fang to be gentlemen. Fang didn't have any trouble doing that since he still had his heart for Ying, but Gopal was getting annoyed about it. At least it made him feel better when Astor had to sleep outside with them too.
