After the chaos earlier, everything was now quiet and peaceful inside the ship. The only thing that can be heard was the engine running. Papa Zola, who was sleeping with a deck of cards in hand, Boboiboy and Gopal, who seem to be bored while holding cards, and [Y/n], who was reading a book next to Koko ci.
"How much further is the TAPOPS space station?" The brunette asked in boredom. "We're almost there." He replied, but Gopal had a look of disbelief. "Yeah, right... so you've said that every time we ask." Gopal remarked, and [Y/n] flipped a page on her book, not paying attention to their conversation.
"Just keep playing!" Koko ci stated in irritation, making Boboiboy sigh as he placed the cards down on the table. "We're sick of it. We kept losing to Mr. Papa." He said in slight annoyance as he glanced at their sleeping teacher.
"Hahaha... justice will never lose..!" Papa Zola sleep talked before falling back to his deep sleep.
Boboiboy sighed again and glanced back at their commander. "Can't we just use Ochobot's teleportation power?" He questioned, but the alien was quick to disagree. "Give Ochobot a break. He's not fully charged yet," Koko ci replied, still towing their ship.
Gopal sighed in exaggeration. "Can't this thing go any faster? Are you sure we're not lost, Ciciko?" He asked, and the alien got irked by his statement as he turned around to face the boys.
"How dare you imply that we're lost, cadet?!" He yelled, making [Y/n], who was sitting beside him, jumped at his outburst. While the two boys quickly stood up straight and saluted. "Apologies, commander!" They stated nervously. "It's only a bit of waiting, and you're already complaining!" He exclaimed.
Koko ci turned to the feline next to him, who put her book down after his outburst. "[Y/n]! Tell them the longest time you've been in orbit whilst on a mission." He stated, and the feline thought for a moment before replying.
"1 month, 10 days, and 10 hours, commander. Until we ran out of supplies and were forced to survive on pillows and blankets." [Y/n] informed with crossed arms, Boboiboy seemed amaze while Gopal couldn't help but tease her.
"Had to survive in pillows and blankets? Bet you were just sleeping, right?" Gopal teased. He regretted it instantly when he saw [Y/n] extended her claws before scratching him on the face. Boboiboy looked at his friend with a deadpan look.
Suddenly, a transmission popped up into the screen and got the attention of the people presented in the room.
"Help! TAPOPS space station is under attack!!" A mop alien informed, there seemed to be red light in the room, indicating the emergency signal. Both Koko ci and [Y/n] abruptly stood after hearing the information.
"What?! Under attack?!"
"Send help now!"
And just like that, the transmission was cut short. "Hold on!" Koko ci immediately tried to contact the station again but failed. Boboiboy and Gopal quickly went over to them.
"What happened?" He asked. "TAPOPS space station was attacked!" [Y/n] informed, turning to face them with a serious and slightly panicked expression. "Get Ochobot now!" She commanded urgently, and the two boys nod their heads before running off to fetch the sphera.
Koko ci then tried to wake up Captain Papa Zola, but due to him being a deep sleeper, his attempt failed. The alien went back to the controls before connecting to Fang.
"Fang! Prepare to enter th portal," Koko ci informed, and the boy nodded. "Roger that, commander. But.. will Ochobot's energy be enough?" He asked, and [Y/n] hummed. "He's still charging, but based on my calculations, It should be enough to teleport us to the TAPOPS space station." Koko ci replied.
Swift footsteps were heard, and [Y/n] turned her head and saw Yaya and Ying. "We just heard from Boboiboy. Was the TAPOPS space station attacked?" Yaya questioned with a concerned expression. "Is it true, commander?"
Koko ci spun his chair around to face the two girls. "Yes. We've just received an emergency transmission." The alien confirmed, and the feline next to him seemed to be lost in thought. Ying noticed this and decided to ask, "What's wrong [Y/n]? Do you perhaps know who could have attacked TAPOPS?"
The other two glanced at the feline. "I'm not sure, but I have a bad feeling about this." She remarked, and then Ochobots voice was heard from behind them. "Hey! What's going on, Boboiboy?" Ochobot asked in confusion before Boboiboy manipulated his hands to salute. "Ochobot! Reporting for duty!" He said.
"Open a portal to these coordinates now, Ochobot!" Koko ci commanded urgently, and the sphera didn't hesitate and opened up the portal. Their ship went through, and once they made it to the other side, a floating building in the shape of a T was there.
"We've arrived at TAPOPS space station." Koko ci stated in a firm voice, [Y/n] stared at the station, the lights were off giving it an eerie vibe. "Why is it so dark?" Fang mentioned.
"We need to get in and investigate. You four, follow me!" Koko ci stated as he got off the chair. "Yessir." [Y/n], Boboiboy and Fang said in unison while Gopal gulped in fear. "Yaya, Ying and Ochobot. Watch the ship." The alien stated, and he looked at the three who saluted in acknowledgement.
The five walked through the hallways of the now dark and eerie station of TAPOPS. "Where is everyone?" Boboiboy questioned after he observed that not a single person is inside. Gopal suddenly went over and hid behind Boboiboy's back. "I'm scared, Boboiboy," He whimpered out.
Koko ci shushed him. "Shh! Be quiet." As the door opened, they walked inside the empty cafeteria. "Usually, this area would be packed. But now..." [Y/n] stated as she glanced at the empty seats of the cafeteria.
Gopal whimpered again and started whining. "I'm pretty sure a space bear did this!" He exclaimed in fear, making Boboiboy click his tongue. "Enough with your space bears." He said in irritation at his best friend's behaviour.
"Huh? Check this out. All the foods are still here, but there's no one." Fang mentioned, and [Y/n] nodded, and before she could comment. An eerie laugh echoed into the upper floor, making them flinch, and their guard is up.
"What was that?" Gopal stated, and once again, hide behind Boboiboy. "It came from the top floor. Follow me!" Koko ci stated, and ran forward, and the other four followed behind.
They got into a lift, and the laugh grew louder. "Prepare yourselves. That voice came from this level." Koko ci informed, and Boboiboy, Fang and [Y/n] looked at each other before giving each other a nod. While Gopal slung his arms around Boboiboy and Fang's neck.
The door of the lift opened, and they stepped out. Fang stepped into something and glanced down to see several cards. Fang crouched down and picked up the cards.
"What's all this?" He questioned, and [Y/n] peeked through his shoulder and saw the mop aliens inside the card. "Huh? Those look like the mop aliens that work here at TAPOPS." The feline commented.
"Huh? No way.. follow those card trails!" Koko ci commanded, and the others didn't have time to question anything, and followed their commander.
As they got near the closed doors, the green alien went over to the keyboard and started accessing the door. "Can you access it, commander?" [Y/n] asked, and the alien hummed before a beep was heard. "Got it."
A clank was heard when the doors began to open on a slow pace. [Y/n] activated her masked as she stared at the doors. Once the door was fully opened, a figure was crouched down into a table.
"What is THAT?" Gopal commented in fear, as the others slowly walked inside. "It's too dark." The feline mentioned, and just as she said that, the lights flickered on. She glanced at Gopal, who had flipped the switch of the lights.
"You're really asking for it, Gopal," [Y/n] sneered as she flexed her claws at the boy, who flinched in return. A laugh broke their conversation, and they turned their attention back at the figure. "So it's you, Ciciko!" A jester-clown stated as he stared at Koko ci with a menacing smile.
"Huh? Jokertu?!"
"Oh, yeah! That's Joe!" Gopal stated, and the others looked at him. "How'd you know that's Joe?" Boboiboy questioned while [Y/n] facepalmed at their stupid conversation.
"Not 'Joe'! He's called jokertu!" Koko ci corrected, and Fang started laughing. "His name is jokertu? Hahahhaa!" Fang dropped down to the floor, laughing hysterically.
"You think that's so funny?!" Jokertu stated angerly, the power sphera next to him slide a card from its mouth. "Get in the card!" Jokertu threw the card straight to Fang, and he got transport inside it. The others gasped at what they witnessed. "Fang turned into a card!!" Gopal yelped.
Jokertu playfully walked over to the card and crouched down to grab it. His smile disappeared when he noticed there was only one star on Fang's card. "Just a 1 star? Hah! Pathetic." He stated before letting the card fall, but before it could hit the ground, Boboiboy caught it in his hands.
"Fang...!"
"Come out, Fang!"
[Y/n] gritted her teeth's behind her mask and clenched her fist. "What do you think you're doing, Huh?!" She said in anger, Jokertu only smirked before showing three cards and threw it.
The feline was about to dodge it when Koko ci tackled her and the other two to the ground. "What are we gonna do now, commander?!" Boboiboy asked in nervousness as they hid behind a table.
"We must be careful. He's able to capture us into his cards." The alien informed, and [Y/n] peeked through the table before Boboiboy gently dunked her head down. "Don't peek [Y/n], you might get captured!" He stated, and the girl only blinked at him in surprise.
"Escape is futile. I will turn all of you into cards, just like the others." Jokertu threatened. "Distract him! Go!" Koko ci commanded firmly, the elemental manipulator, and the feline nodded in understanding.
"Let's go, Gopal!" Boboiboy said and turned his gaze to his food lover, friend. "Huh?! Why are WE the distraction -" Gopal's words were cut off when the jester appeared on top of the table. "Hi! We're you hiding from me?" He teased. Gopal and Koko ci scurry to the other side, but Boboiboy and [Y/n] stood their ground.
Boboiboy transformed into his lighting element, and both him and [Y/n] threw their weapons at the jester. But Jokertu flipped in the air before throwing his cards to the weapons, transporting it into the cards.
Lighting and the feline both gasped. "Even our weapons can be turned into cards?" The feline muttered in disbelief.
"We need to contact Yaya and Ying!" Koko ci said and grabbed Gopal's arm and started typing Yaya and Ying's contact through his watch. "Boboiboy, change into your Earth element now!" [Y/n] commanded, and the boy didn't hesitate.
"Elemental Powers! Boboiboy Earth!"
Boboiboy punched the ground, and a spiky rock emerged underneath the jester, but he managed to dodge it with ease. Boboiboy repeated his actions over and over again, but the jester dodged each of his attacks.
Jokertu laughed as he stood on top of the rock. "Your powers aren't too shabby! Show me what else you've got!" He stated, and Boboiboy was sweating bullets. [Y/n] stood in front of Boboiboy and summoned her lion ally, Leo. The golden tiger roared in fury.
"Attack, Leo!" The male feline immediately took action and charged at the jester.
Jokertu laughed hysterically before dodging each of the lions' attacks, the same way he dodged Boboiboy's spiky rocks. Leo was about to scratch him with its claws before he took out a golden staf and swinged it to the lion, knocking it down near [Y/n].
"Leo!" The female went over to the fallen lion. "Rest now." She rested her forehead against the lion before it disappeared into thin air.
Jokertu smirked before throwing several cards in the felines direction. Boboiboy's brown eyes widened at this before he changed into his leaf element.
"Leaf shuriken!"
Leaf threw the same amount of shuriken to the flying cards, making it hit the leaf's weapon instead. Leaf laughed at him mockingly, "You missed!" He teased, making Jokertu growl in annoyance.
He jumped off from the rock and charged at Leaf. The playful boy was quicker as he grabbed [Y/n]'s waist and used his vine to get away. Leaf placed her into a safe spot before going back to the jester.
The feline, however, went over to Koko ci and Gopal. She saw the hologram form of Yaya and Ying on the door lovers watch. "Yaya, Ying! Help!" The green alien exclaimed, making the two girls confuse. "Huh?! What's wrong, commander?!" Ying questioned in concern.
Gopal shoved the short alien aside before saying, "There's a clown that can turn people into cards!" He stated in a frenzy, and [Y/n], who was beside him, deactivated her mask before letting out a heavy sigh.
Papa Zola's hologram suddenly came into their view before letting out a laugh. "Turn them into cards? What about credit cards?" He asked, and the feline could have sworn she saw a dollar sign into his eyes.
Suddenly, a yelp caught their attention and looked up to see Leaf laying on the table, with Jokertu standing on top of him. Jokertu was about to hit him with his staff, but fortunately, [Y/n] managed to kick it off his hands, sending it flying across the room.
The jester let's out an angry growl. "How DARE YOU?!" He exclaimed before releasing a fury of cards on their way. All of them ran away and went to hide behind another table.
"Boboiboy! Change into your wind element now, and summon a tornado to distract him!" [Y/n] commanded. "Elemental Power! Boboiboy Wind!" He did what the feline told him and created a tornado in the room, temporarily distracting the jester.
"Run!" Koko ci stated, and Boboiboy grabbed the felines arm before running away with her. [Y/n] had no time to complain and just ran with him. All the while, Jokertu walked out of the room unharmed. He started laughing again. This time, it's even more menacing.
"You think you can run?!"
Jokertu jumped from wall to wall until he catched up to the four and tossed his cards. As if time slowed down for [Y/n], she was using her cats reflex. She also noticed Ying placing the other three on a trolley. Ying glanced at her in surprise. "How are you able to do that?" She asked.
"Cats reflex." [Y/n] replied before they ran together, escaping the wrath of Jokertu. Time went back to normal, and the other three stopped their yelling to see Yaya and [Y/n] in front of them.
"Eh?! Yaya? [Y/n]?!" Boboiboy asked, confused on how the feline was there with Yaya when she was with them earlier. Gopal turned around to see the speed manipulator. "Ying?" The said girl smiled with a salute.
"What are you guys doing here?" Gopal questioned, and Ying huffed. "Saving you, of course." She stated in a matter of fact tone.
"Great..."
"Those powers are GREAT!!"
Jokertu said before laughing manically. The others stared at the jester in fear. "Oh no. He's losing it.." Boboiboy commented. "I must have ALL of it! Card bot. Give me more cards!" He demanded, and the power sphera didn't hesitate to do what he was told.
Multiple cards started flying around Jokertu, as the said jester laughed. "Come!" He said, and the cards started heading their way. Before [Y/n] can react, Yaya used her gravitational pull. The cards, along with Jokertu and Card bot, felt their body being pulled into the floor.
"Awesome, Yaya!" Boboiboy praised, until they were all suddenly on the ground. [Y/n] groaned in pain. Being glued to the floor was not on her to-do list.
"Help... Help me..!" Koko ci stated in pain. And Yaya realised her mistake and deactivated her powers. "Erk! Commander!"
Everyone sat up, and before anyone could recover. Jokertu immediately leapt into the air and starts spinning. "Cards, Spiral!" Before Ying could activate her powers, a card touched her chest, transporting her into the card.
"Ying!!"
"Run!" Koko ci stated, and before the teens could run further, they were all transported into the cards, including [Y/n]. Their cards slid into the floor, near Koko ci's sight. He was even surprised [Y/n] got captured.
"Everyone's turned into cards!" He exclaimed in shock as he stared at the cards laying on the floor. A whimper caught his attention and saw Papa Zola hiding by the side of the door.
"Justice is done for!" He said in fear while the alien stared at him in disbelief. "You're HERE?" He asked, and the (new) captain glanced at him. "Yeah! Like I'd stay behind in the spaceship all alone!" Papa Zola replied back.
Jokertu laughed as he approached the cards on the ground. "Everyone's been turned..." He crouched down. " - into rare cards!" He exclaimed and was about to pick up [Y/n]"s card when Koko ci ran towards Papa Zola.
And this caught Jokertu's attention.
"Looks like I've missed one." He stated in irritation. "You need to distract him for me. Do something!" Koko ci declared, and the man before him flinched in fear.
"What sort of distraction?" He questioned, but the reply he got was being pushed into the open. Jokertu stared at the man in front of him, confused at how a short alien turned this big.
"When did little guy get this big?" He questioned. Papa Zola laughed nervously before replying, "Excuse me. Do you know where I could find the teachers longue?" Jokertu stared at him, unamused before lifting a card.
Papa Zola quickly went over to him to protest. "Hey! Hold on! Don't be hasty, Mr. Circus clown!" He said, making Jokertu even more annoyed than before.
"You called me a circus clown?!"
"Uh.. what should I call you then?" The teacher questioned before adding, "A buff clown? Hehe... Uh... I-I'm sorry! That was lame." Jokertu stared at him in disbelief before scoffing.
"You'll just be a waste to my cards." He declared before Papa Zola thought of something. "Hah! Why don't we have a card duel!" He exclaimed before posing dramatically. "A card duel..?"
Papa Zola then stepped closer to the jester. "What's the matter? Are you scared?" He teased, and
