After the incident of the Alpha's voice, the brothers still laid there limp and unconscious. The rest of the group were worried and tried to wake them up.

" Hoja! Sol! Wake up! "

" Fuego! Hielo! Can you hear us? "

" Trueno, Viento, Tierra! Wake up! "

Hoja and Sol woke up with a groan, and a headache. The twins' heads were fuzzy and of course, hurt alot. Trueno, Viento and Tierra all had  stabbing pains in their heads and hands.

As soon as they looked at each other, their eyes widened. " We... Remember... " Sol said.

" What? Sol, remember what? " Xela said.

" We remember the whole thing. Everything we've done, everyone's lives they've caused... Hggh... " Hoja said, he flinched a little at the thought.
" What's going on? " Scopio said.

" We know who the Alpha is. He and us had been friends for some time, but our memories of him were erased because they were corrupted, " Tierra said.

" Corrupted? How can that be? " Asantia said.

" Before we met our friends now, the Alpha and us had always did everything together. But what we do so very often was experiment. We'd test things that we find appealing, sometimes on other things, and sometimes on ourselves, " Viento said.
" One day, it all went entirely wrong. The Alpha tested something on himself, that was very dangerous to all him and us. He became crazy and somewhat evil, we were not physically affected but our memories of him were, " Fuego said.

" We had to live some years in guilt of those memories, until we met our friends, Fang, Gopal, Yaya and Ying. They helped to erase our memories of him, and let us live a life without burden of him, " Hielo said.

" Just a few days before the Alpha became evil, we had already started on a project we promised to do together. It was a game, this game. But we never got to finish it, we left the project where it was, " Sol said.

" Now he's come back. He knows we have elemental powers, and he wants them. Whatever made him evil must have tempted him to be greedy and needy for power, " Trueno said.

" ...... W.. Who is he? In real life, I mean? " Cj asked.

" Goes by the name..... of Vargoba, " Trueno said.

...........

Vargoba? Haven't heard that name in such a long time.

Trueno was on the roof again. He wanted to clear his mind from what happened.

We can defeat him. If he has some benefits, he must have some weaknesses too, he thought to himself.

" I couldn't hear half of the things he said because of the pain I felt in my head..... " he said to himself. " I don't think any of my brothers heard it either. "

" ..... Maybe I can ask the others. But I just don't want to worry them, " he said.

" We'll worry about you either way, you know, " a voice said below him. He looked down, and saw Xela dangling off the roof.
