101 Avatars
114. Arjuna and Tio Reunion

All views simultaneously turned to Adrian who was far away when a strange glint of light broke the young man's body.

“Adrian!”  Professor Dios panicked to witness the incident.

The panic was also felt by Kaiser, Arskad, and Adrian's father and mother who were also there.  As soon as the sparkle was over, Adrian bounced within 1 meter, but the young man was apparently fine.  Seen next to him, the avatar numbered series 97, Avatar Arjuna, returned to its original form with three souls side avatar who were released from his appearance.

Dream immediately captures the souls before wandering further.  With this, Sly Dark, Hard, and Crusader were also caught by Dream's strange pistol which made his collection complete 97.

“Arjuna, something strange with your body.”  Dream said to Arjuna who seemed to return to his original form and is no longer a form of unification with a changing bracelet.

“What is this, Dream?  I felt a strange sensation.  Like...” Ask Arjuna back to Dream.

“Yes, your body has just experienced the release of the marker from the repulsion gaia.”  Answer Dream will curiosity Arjuna.

“It means?”

“Yes, your existence no longer threatens the planet.  You can stay here without inviting butterfly effect due to repulsion gaia.”

Instantly the face of Avatar Arjuna was cramped, but a moment later he returned moody.

“Why?  Why can it suddenly be like that?”  Arjuna asked curiously.

“Since you fused with the modifier bracelet, hasn't the repulsion sign of gaia in your soul indeed disappeared?”

“But that's because I don't have a form.”

“Hmmm.”  Arjuna shook his head.

“Not so.  Why can I go back to having a form even after gaia law establishes me as an intangible existence again.”

“I can't answer that either.  Besides, there are still a lot of mysteries that I can't understand from the system.  But if seen, there may be an effect with the Tree of Immortality that was researched by Mr. X it?”

Hearing the answer from Dream, Arjuna returned moody.

“What's Arjuna?”  Adrian asked that.

Arjuna shook his head once more.

“To be honest, I am happy to be able to stay on this earth without inviting disaster for the planet.  But I am still a monster.  No one will like my presence here.  Maybe I should go back to the virtual world.”

Hearing the complaints from Arjuna, Adrian also patted the shoulder of Arjuna to encourage him.

Unexpectedly, Dream issued a statement that made Arjuna shock.

“That would be a problem if you came with us home, Arjuna.  Precisely this time the sign of Gaia law is attached to you to the virtual world.  Virtual world does not accept your existence anymore.”

“Eh, how can you?  Humans from the real world alone can freely go there.”

“I don't feel good about Tio if he keeps wearing his face.  After all, I'm just a copycat.  But I can't believe that the world I was born in now also rejects my existence.  Then what should I do?”  Arjuna.  Instantly frustration came over him.

At that time, Adrian said,

“Take it easy, Arjuna.  How about coming with me?  It is the era of robotization.  It wouldn't be surprising if I had a robot like you next to me as my assistant.  Don't you want to stay with this Brother?”

Adrian tries to persuade the avatar so that he does not grieve anymore.

“How am I likened to a robot, Brother Adrian?!  Don't you see my face is so scary compared to a robot?!  people will just be scared!  With this ugly body, I breathe, move my lips, blink, and so on.  From afar, I may have looked like a robot.  But up close, they will soon be frightened after easily realizing that I am not a robot, but rather a disgusting monster.”

Arjuna looked very sad towards her identity.  But Adrian could only hug the soft-hearted avatar to calm him down.

“Excite, my friend!  At least, I know you are a kind-hearted figure.”

Adrian's words, then become an encouragement for Arjuna in stepping forward to meet his life in a world that is foreign to him.

A moment later, the sound of the phone rang.  Apparently, it was a phone call from Arskad Dewantara.

“Oh.  Yeah, fine.  I get it, Millie.  I'll pass it to the others soon.”  Arskad said in the phone call.

She smiled brightly as she looked at Arjuna.

“Say Millie, Tio is awake and looks fine.  His family was already on their way to pick him up.”  Arskad also announced the happy information.

At once the look on Arjuna's face brightened and he wanted to immediately meet his old friend and his family.

It did not take long for them to arrive at RS Dewantara Group.  Without further ado, the troupe, along with Millie and Damian immediately head to the remote hidden secret VIP room that is connected from the eighth floor of the hospital.

Upon arrival there, the group was immediately greeted by Mr. Saharuddin as the doctor who had been caring for Tio.  Inside the room, there were also professors Melisa, Syifa, Judith, Zio, and Tio's family.

At that time, Arjuna entered the form of young Tio.  At once Tio's sister, father, and mother ran over and embraced Arjuna with a warm and happy feeling as if finally meeting a distant family they had not met for a long time.

“Why?  Why are you treating me this well, Sister Tifani, Father, Mother?  Wasn't it because I had taken Tio's body, Tio was in a coma until now?”  In his sorrow, Arjuna said.

Ibu Tio then said, “Nak, it seems you have forgotten the incident that day.  If it wasn't for you saving us from the monsters that broke into our house back then, we would no longer be in this world.  It was precisely a fortune for us that night that you came first to our house before the monster.”

Tio's mother rubbed Arjuna's cheek gently.  Tears accidentally fell on the cheeks of the monster who should not have these feelings.

Arjuna then directed his attention to the figure of the young man who had been lying on the bed.  He was Tio in the figure of the adult youth who had reached the age of twenty years.

He smiled at Arjuna and called her to come closer.  He could not walk alone near Arjuna even though the condition of his body was no problem.   The condition of his body after waking up remains fine because as long as Healer lives, he always takes care of Tio's body.  However, Tio still can not move a lot for a while because of the stamina that is less about the nutrients obtained during this time is only derived from intravenous fluids.

Arjuna approached and Tio embraced the younger version of himself in a warm embrace.

“Thank you for protecting my family back then.”  Tio said to Arjuna sincerely.
