Riky: Okay, I have a friend which I won't mention, he can hack into almost anything, which also explains how I got into the DCI Database. I can ask him to show the evidence everywhere, on TVs, the big screens at the city thingy, people's smartphone- 

Lima: He's that good? 

Riky:..well I've never seen him doing it before but he claims that he could..

Emilia: call him then! 

Riky: Not that easy..we need a high super duper performance computer. We're talking about taking over the whole city here..

Bodie: Where do we get ourselves this "super" computer when there's almost every police, Rasa's men, Kerith's goons are after us? 

Aubrey: How about you Dr Tan? Do you still own a powerful computer?....Tan? 

Tan sleeps, snoring loudly. 

Aubrey: He's asleep. 

Oblio: My father threw everything away when he came back. 

Aubrey: Wow..your father really did changed..

Emilia: Yeah what happened? 

Oblio: Well you see...

Flashback 

Oblio meditates at the beach, it was peaceful. Waves crashing, birds chirping..Oblio was at his peace..then he got interrupted, making him irritated. 

Dr Tan: Son... 

Oblio eyes widened as he quickly gets up and turns around. 

Oblio: Father?! But you're trapped, in the time stream. 

Dr Tan: Well I landed in the 80s..and thanks to the little man from that Hi-def crew. I came back! 

Oblio: You mind controlled him?! 

Dr Tan: No son! I didn't.He's perfectly safe..

Oblio closes his eyes and takes a breath in..

Oblio: What do you want? 

Dr Tan: I just want you back, son. I know things have been hard since mother's out of the picture but I have never stopped loving you. I know how much you love dancing, that's why I wanted to rule over the world of dance, so you and I would have a father and son moment..till I realise after what I did..I made my son lost faith in me. 

Dr Tan steps forward and place his hands on Oblio

Dr Tan: Son, forgive me. I have been a really bad father to you and I am willing to change, for you. 

Oblio: I-... ... ... I forgive you. 

Dr Tan and Oblio goes in for a hug.

Present

Oblio: Since then my father, tried many jobs that suited him. A fast food chef, a cashier, a tech supporter but..he finally found his joy. The children's smile he sees when he delivers cake as a clown to a party. That's him now..and even tho we don't have all the money like we used to have..I'm still proud of my dad. 

Everyone in the group smiles.

Emilia: Aww.. that's really sweet. 

Lima: Well, I am sorry that I misjudged him. 

Oblio: It's alright..

Aubrey: Well I am happy for you Oblio but..we should get back to about "taking over the city?"

Bodie: Aubrey's right. We still need to get a computer. 

Lima: How about the computer back at DCI?
