"Our mothers?" gulat na tanong ni Elsa, habang nanlalaki ang matang nakatingin kay Miss Blair.

We were speechless right now but mostly curious, adding more questions in my head na inakala kong masasagot na lahat.

"Yes." kompirmado ni Miss Blair.

"How come?" it was Eliott this time who asked.

"Well, it all started when Maggie suddenly spoke about this symbol in her dreams. She had the ability of Prediction just like Mathew, well it's because she's his mother,” gulat kami sa narinig namin dahilan para mapatingin kami sa lalaking kanina pa tahimik na nakikinig. Pansin kong ‘di siya nagulat kaya hinuha ko na alam na niya ang tungkol dito. "She was one of your parents’ close friend. Your mothers were shocked by then, when Maggie told them about that symbol. On the same day upon knowing the symbol’s meaning, the director initiated the OPERATION PROTECT." Pagpapatuloy nito.

"Operation Protect?” takang tanong ni Wayne.

"It’s an order from Dr. Soichiro for total annihilation of the bogeys. But one day, Maggie had a horrible dream. In her dream, she saw how her fellow trooper fell in the hands of the Bogey King. She was scared that time. But then someone appeared, and told her to find the four pieces of the Arhax, in order for them to win. She then told your parents about the dream, and they all agreed to search for it. It took them half a month before they found all the pieces.” She narrated na parang isang storyteller na nagbabasa ng kuwento sa mga bata. You can feel the emotions on every words.

Pero nagulat ako nang malaman kong kalahating taon ang ginugol nila bago nahanap ang apat na piraso ng arhax. Kung ako nasa sitwasyon nila, siguro natuluyan na ako. Hindi ko nga kaya maghanap ng isang oras lang, 6 months pa kaya. Pero at least nahanap nila, pero parang hindi sila nagtagumpay.

"Divine Helm?" basa ko habang nakatingin sa libro na may litrato ng isang puno.

"It's a sacred place in Chimera where the Tree of Pleasure can be found. Dito nanggagaling ang mga panaginip natin at kapag nahawakan ito ng isang bogey, nagiging bangungot ito." Pagpapaliwanag ni Mathew.

"Pwede namang bantayan ito ng mga trooper para ‘di na makapasok ang mga bogey, di ba?" Elsa pionted out but Miss Blair shook her head.

"We can't. We can only stay at Chimera for one hour. Ibig sabihin, meron lang tayong isang oras para talunin ang mga bogey. No one knows why, but according to our scientists, it must be the energy inside that place ang nagpapalabas sa atin pabalik dito. Pero gumagawa na ng study si Dr. Kasuke about dito." Answered Mathew.

"Upon obtaining the Arhax, they were transported into the Chimera to perform the ritual while your fathers served as a guard to protect them. But Deros was too strong and your fathers failed and fallen. Before they could chant the last word, all of them was killed and the Arhax separated into four, and transported in every part of the Chimera, nowhere to be found.” Miss Blair ended.

Dismaya at lungkot ang naramdaman namin nang ikuwento ni Miss Blair sa amin kung paano patayin ni Deros ang mga magulang namin. The room was filled with silence as all of us were speechless, especially us four.

“But don't worry, we already found it and we have it's locations." Miss Blair informed breaking the silence of the room.

"Kung hindi nila napatay si Deros, bakit ‘di niya tinuloy na sugurin ang puno?" nagtatakang sagot Eliott.
