1) Missing
After the fight with Retakka, Boboiboy went missing.
One moment, all of them saw Boboiboy falling through the iced water and the next they saw as they dived through the water was Boboiboy being pulled into a strange portal before it was closed just as they were about to reach him.
All of them looked on, stunned beyond belief. Gopal beside him was beginning to hypervilente, though not a good place to do as they were still underwater, so he slapped him arm lightly to snap him out of it.
It does successfully snap him out of it, judging by the glare he sends his way to which Fang ignored to focus on more important things such as searching for any clues around them to locate Boboiboy's whereabouts.
The girls also seemed to snap out from their stunned reactions and joined him in searching for clues (Gopal joined them after a beat), but nothing came out of it except Boboiboy's cap that were left behind when he disappeared.
Disappointed, they emerged from the water.
Ochobot, who was hovering anxiously near the place where they emerged, seemed to perk up and zoomed towards them with anticipation to see the familiar figure of his friend.
But then, he abruptly stopped zooming towards them when he saw the absence of his friend presence among them.
"... Where's Boboiboy?" The power sphere asked, growing more anxious when he saw the grim look that settled on them all.
"He's missing"

2) Truth
Yaya blinked, surprised with the truth spoken by Ochobot.
It turned out that the portal that dragged Boboiboy away was something that was related to the power watch safety precaution that Ochobot set after the time from their fight with Borara for them all if all of them were near death and doesn't have any other option or protection from it.
The thing was that instead of teleporting Boboiboy in a safer place in their world, it instead teleported Boboiboy into a whole different universe to which Ochobot doesn't have a single clue on.
All of them, including the higher up like Commander Kokochi, Admiral Tarung, and Captain Kaizo, were currently in a meeting to determine their next course of actions that needed to be taken.
"How was that even possible?" She turned her head to Gopal, who was asking a question with a crunched up expression, portraying his confusion at hand. "I mean, I know that different dimensions exist after that one debacle involving Gigibot, the dimension traveller power sphere, but how did your teleporting power turn into something different?"
All of them blinked at him, surprised that he for once asked something that was logical.
Though----
"It's Gigabot, not Gigibot la!" Ying corrected him with a deadpanned expression because really, Gopal?
Gopal only flapped his hand, dismissing her correction. "Yeah, whatever. Anyway, answer my question"
Ochobot hummed, his hand in a thinking pose before he perked up.
"Ah, yeah. I think it was because of the damage that Boboiboy's watch incurred from the many heavy battles he fought with, like Captain Vargoba or even Retakka" Hearing the second name, she and the rest of the Kokotaim gang seemed to hold a murderous aura remembering the pain all of them went through, especially Boboiboy in defeating that damn monster.
Ochobot, seemingly oblivious to their murderous aura, continued talking. "The damage incurred created a glitch on his power watch and thus resulting him being transported into another world unlike how it was initially programmed which is to teleport him into a safer place" Hearing that, all of them seemed to deflate and sigh, lamenting on the fact that how unlucky can the boy/their friend can be to be transported into another world, one that they didn't know of its location even.
"What should we do?" She asked him, worried over the fate of their friend in an unknown dimension, in an unfamiliar world even.
Silence settled over them like a suffocating blanket.
The higher ups looked grim as they tried to think of something to contribute to the meeting at hand. Unfortunately, the ideas seemed so out of reach when the situation was too absurd, even for them to think of something.
Ochobot was silent, looking at them with hope that they could come out with some sort of an answer, any answer that could be used.
Fang tapped his feets, looking at the ceiling blankly with his eyes occasionally moving as if he was looking at imaginary words on thin air.
Gopal was openly crying, mourning over his best friend lack of presence while simultaneously thinking of any ideas that he could contribute....he's mostly crying, though.
Ying was muttering a mile in a minute, something under her breath that everyone around her couldn't catch.
She writes all sort of ideas in her notebook on how to take Boboiboy home again, but her frustration grows the longer she spends her time writing it on her notebook when none of the written solutions on it could helped with the situation at hand.
Then, after quite a long time had passed (only five minutes had passed), Ying opened her mouth.
"How about we asked Gigabot for help?" She suggested.
All of them blinked. They forgot that they could just ask the power sphere with the dimension power for help.

3) Journey
The journey to another dimension was short, just as expected. But they weren't any less grateful to the power sphere who had helped them to do so.
"Thank you for helping us, Gigabot!" Ying beamed at the power sphere before her, thankful for the help he provided to them.
Beside her, all of her friends (and Captain Kaizo, he came with them as their mission supervisor and also an adult figure) echoed her thanks with all sorts of enthusiasm from calm to excited.
The big power sphere seemed to smile at all of them back. "You're welcome. Contact me again when you're done" he said before he entered another portal, probably travelling into another world but then again he does have the dimension power, so it wasn't that strange for him to do so.
All of them waved the power sphere goodbye before they finally started their journey...by pedalling their bicycles that they brought from their home dimension because 1) it was more convenient form of transport and 2) because they didn't have any sort of license yet being an underage kids still.
Except Captain Kaizo, of course, but then again even he, didn't have a motor or car license, he only has a spaceship license, which is not valid on earth.
And so in the end, all of them used bicycles as their form of transport.
Ochobot flew inside Yaya's bicycle basket and settled himself into his usual ball form before all of them took off into the direction where they could detect Boboiboy's location.
Finally, after a few minutes of pedalling the bicycle, they finally arrived in front of a mall.
Gopal, who was whining about how tired he was, immediately burst into tears when he saw that they were in front of a big mall.
Captain Kaizo, who stopped his bicycle on Gopal's right side, only rolled his eyes while Fang, who was on Gopal's left side, only huffed at his friend dramatic reaction towards it.
She looked at him weirdly. "What the heck is wrong with you?We finally got to meet Boboiboy later," She asked because they finally found Boboiboy's location, so shouldn't he be happy about it instead of crying?
"Wuhuhuhhuh~ yeah, but the thing is that we have to search the whole mall for Boboiboy, and I could feel my future exhaustion creeping up on me because we need to climb the stairs wuhuhuhu~" He answered in between sobs.
Ying deadpanned at him. "You do realise that malls have escalators and elevator, right?" Hearing that, Gopal immediately cheered up.
"Yay, I don't have to climb the stairs!" He cheered happily, ignoring the unimpressed look thrown by his friends.
They didn't get to take a step into the mall when suddenly they were blocked from entering it by the police force in this world.
"The mall is under lockdown because of an accident that happened earlier." One of the policeman (policecat?) explained to them when asked about the reason.
They tried to ask for permission to enter, citing that they wanted to meet up and check up their friend well-being because Boboiboy's location indicated that he was still there inside the mall, but they were refused. They were ordered to go home for the day and asked their friend later on about it.
And so, they gave up and just looked around for temporary lodging; a hotel.
Originally, they(Kokotaim gang) decided on settling in a 3-stars hotel, much cheaper, and it does have all the necessary things for them, but then, Captain Kaizo said; "Don't worry, I'll handle all your lodgings and food while here" before he proceed to enter a 5-stars hotel and tried to book them a room each.
But they shook their head and tried to negotiate, saying some of them could just share a room. The back and forth argument went on for a long time until finally Captain Kaizo relented with their demand.
["How rich is your brother anyway?" Asked Gopal just as they were about to go to sleep.
Fang looked at him blankly. "...A normal amount??" He answered, seemingly confused with his own answer because his brother always booked a 5-star hotel when he went on a mission (if it wasn't an undercover mission) with him, it's normal, right?
Right? Right.
Gopal looked at him in disbelief."That's what you called normal!?"
"Yes!!?" He answered, confused with Gopal's reaction towards something that he deemed as normal
"!!!?"
"!!!??" ]

4) Encounter
For some reason, they kept missing each other when they tried so hard to meet up with their orange cladded friend.
It's like each of them were parallel lines with the same height and width but could never meet even how close the distance was between the two lines----Seriously, what nonsense he was spouting now about parallel lines!? Had he, Gopal A/L Kumaran gone crazy already because he missed his best friend? He doesn't even like Math!!
Why does he think so you ask?
The first time was at the mall where they couldn't enter because of an accident that happened.
(Still don't know what incident that had happened.)
The second time was when they were in the middle of the road, in a taxi when they detected Boboiboy's location just right beside them.
They turned their head to the side to see U.A's official school bus (the famous high school known to produce high-quality Heroes) and when they looked closer they could see their friend wearing a substitute orange cap sitting near the front seemingly in a conversation with a green haired boy.
They gaped because 1)Boboiboy was still 14 years old not 15 years old and 2)How did he even entered that strict high school anyway?
It was so surprising that they forgot to follow the bus and again missed their chances to meet with Boboiboy.
The third time, it happened again.
This was becoming ridiculous---!
They were in the middle of eating their lunch when one of them, Ying noticed Boboiboy's location which was a few tables away from them.
Happy? Of course they were, it had been a long time since they meet their friend but then their bad luck struck again.
Just as they were about to walk towards Boboiboy's table, a villain smashed through the wall of the restaurant and as usual everything spirals downward.
Gopal sighed to himself among the sea of panicked citizens, so much for meeting his best friend.

5) Reunion
After weeks of missed chances and opportunities, they finally meet up with Boboiboy by chance when they were about to go back to their hotel.
Their reunion, just as expected were a mess of tears and emotions, boys and girls both.
"Your friends Boboiboy-san?" a voice called out from behind them.
All of them turned around to see a hobo-looking man slouching beside the street lamp, wearing baggy clothes and strange white scarf.
They tensed up seeing him but the tension immediately evaporated when Boboiboy beamed at the man and introduced him to them as his high school teacher.
"Guys, meet my teacher; Aizawa-sensei!"
"Nice to meet you, Aizawa-san!" Yaya greeted him with a smile to which the rest of them copied her move and greeted the man in their own way.
Boboiboy's teacher didn't smiled back but he does acknowledged their greeting with a nod of his own.
Then after that, they proceed to discuss what to do next and planned when they would return to their original world. The topic about Boboiboy's schooling at U.A was also discussed along with his homeroom teacher.
(It turns out, U.A already knows about Boboiboy being from another dimension.
"How do you think I enrolled myself in an elite school without a proper identity? It's because U.A knows about it that I was allowed " Boboiboy said, grinning at them all.
Beside him, his teacher only nodded in agreement.)
A consensus was reached for them to go back home next week for Boboiboy to settle his business involving his schooling so there will be no problem in the future.
"Ah, we can finally go home----" Boboiboy cheered before his cheerful expression fell flat. "----or so I would like to say." He continued his words this time in a dead tone.
"Sorry, I seemed to have a situation over here. So I couldn't reach your dimension at the moment, please try again later----beep" The same message replayed for the umpteenth time until finally, he shut his connection with Gigabot and noted to himself to try calling him again later.
Abang Kaizo let out a long, drawn-out sigh before muttering something in Mandarin under his breath. Judging by his stressed out face, he probably was cursing everything and anything that could walk and breathe.
Fang beside him looked at him in shock. He was probably surprised with the profanities that came out of his usually composed brother or maybe it was because of the profanities itself? Who knows. He didn't learned any Mandarin after all.
"Amma! Appa! I want to go home already!! Wuhuhuhu~"
Gopal, being his dramatic self, cried out for his Amma and Appa (Ochobot had the urge to join him even when he couldn't really cry), saying that he wanted to go home already.
Yaya and Ying looked so done with everything that breathed (especially Gopal) and seemed like their patience were wearing thin to the point of almost snapping.
Aizawa-san who happened to be there along with them when they had their unprompted reunion, inched away from the girls warily, sensing the violence that were boiling behind their calm facade.
Looking at the scene before him, Ochobot could only sighed to himself, it seems like they would be staying here longer than they initially thought.
