"The human females escaped, your royal highness!", reported the police robot with monotone tones.
"Who escaped with her?!", the robot king asked with anguish.
"It was two human males!"
"Who are they?!"
"The Crown Prince of the human clan, however, the other male identity was not clear!"
"Let's trapped them!! Bring the human King here as a hostage!!", commanded the robot king.
"Devilito..., you betrayed the human race!!", shouted the king with great anguish.
"Human king! Surrender now!!", the monotone voice from the police car speaker was heard for the third time from outside the palace.
"U-Uncle..., I only do that for our benefit! The woman would become a hindrance and the doom of our race! Derrick should let them have the woman when he had the chance! Now, we have to sacrifice you, uncle! For human race peace! Don't worry! I would become a better king than you!!!", Devilito smirked devilishly because finally, his ambition had come true. He would become king with the help of the robot king, while Derrick and his uncle, the king, won't able to stop him because they would soon die...
Suddenly, a group of police robots was entering the palace after they defeated the palace soldiers and immediately subdued the human king from his throne.
Seeing that they won't able to beat the robots, the rest of the human soldiers surrendered their weapons.
"Listen to us...., the human race, Devilito Wang would be your king from now on!!!"
Devilito was happy with the awarded last name of the king clan, he was an illegitimate son, but now he took over the throne. "HaHaHa!!!", he laughed evilly.
Meanwhile, Dawg, Derrick, and Ni Ni were hiding in the neglected new space with the help of uncle 'Sam'.
While Ni Ni was away with Dawg under Uncle Sam's instruction to find him some tools at his warehouse, Derrick and uncle Sam was having a secret conversation.
"Are you the mad scientist?!!", asked Derrick after seeing all his inventions.
"It's matter not..., who am I? but who are you?!! I was able the find the news on the internet that they had arrested the human king, would you sacrifice Ni Ni for the king or visa versa?!"
Derrick gasped with shock and asked, " They caught my father?!!"
'Devilito..., you traitor!!'
Derrick closed one of his hands in a fist and punched his head quite hard to awake his senses, not to hurt himself.
"Crown prince, my daughter..., would you sacrifice her?!!", again, the old man asked with a deep voice.
Derrick answered with certainty," No..., I love her.., I would never hurt her! But I can't be unfilial..., I have to save my father!!"
"But if you die, Ni Ni will be sad. As her dad, I know that she loves you too!! Maybe we should go together..., the robot king was my best friend, maybe he would be more forgiving if I come with you?!"
Derrick nodded in agreement.
Together, both of them were planning how to enter the robot palace safely.
Unknown to them, Ni Ni and Dawg was hearing the whole conversation...
They forgot to get the key to the warehouse this they came back inside the living room, but what they heard was indeed very surprising news...
After hearing the secret conversation, Dawg looked at Ni Ni with unknown sadness.
'So, she loves Derrick! All this time, his love is one-sided!', his thought had made him in a muddy mood and he was pulling Ni Ni outside the building, with anguish he asked," Is that right? Do you love, Derrick?!!"
Ni Ni was more shocked by the news of Derrick's father than anything else. In a trance, she said," They took Derrick's father, the king, because of me!".
"Ni Ni..., that was not my questions. Do you hear me? Who do you love? I don't mind to share you but I don't want to share your love. Did you even love me??!!", again, he asked in anguish.
And again, she said in a trance," I have to go with them. My life to save everyone else is pretty cheap, isn't it Dawg?!!", she finally looked at Dawg with a cheerful facade.
Hearing that, Dawg was mad and kissed her forcefully...
Ni Ni was pushing his built body to no avail, but then someone was pulling Dawg away from her.
It was Derrick...
He was furious and punched Dawg with all his might on his well-built chest. Dawg was flying on the air with the rush of Derrick formidable power and fell on the ground 10 feet away from him with a loud thud. He never showed his true power until now.
Dawg laughing like a madman and said," You finally showed your true power, however, what excuse do you have to hurt me?!"
Dawg was cleaning his pants from any dirt while he got up from the ground.
Passionately, Derrick answered, " She is mine!! I won't share her!! Also, she was trying to push you!!! She didn't love you!! She loves me!!!"
Ni Ni was aghast with Derrick's declaration of her true feeling. Indeed, she never enjoyed Dawg kisses, in contrast with Derrick kisses that had awakened the fire within her.
Unwilling to admit her feeling, she said cynically," Who loves who?!! I love myself, okay!!! And maybe my 'Dad', but 'No'..., I won't marry anyone in this world!!"
After all, she would eventually die in the hand of the robot race, so why even bother with 'love' feeling..., everything was only an illusion when she disappeared from this world...
Derrick was pulling her into his warm hug while kissing her temple affectionately and softly he said," Don't deny it!! I know you love me!!"
She sighed heavily and retorted harshly," I don't need love in this world! Just leave me be!!"
She pushed him hard and ran to hide inside her bedroom.
A while after, someone was knocking on her bedroom door...
After a while without any response, the person behind the door said," Ni Ni, it's Dad!"
Immediately, she unlocked the door to let him in...
"Dad..."
She hugged him gently for a minute and then she gestured him to sit on her bedside while she sat on her dressing chair, facing each other, they awkwardly became so quiet to each other.
When she overheard the conversation between him and Derrick, she was surprised that he was willing to risk his life for her. He really thought of her as his real daughter, and the feeling was mutual, she also accepted him as a father she never has before.
'Dad' broke the silence...
"Ni Ni..., Dawg told us that you overheard our conversation and you would sacrifice your freedom for us?!!!"
'Dawg the dog..., how dared he sold me out?!', she was grinding her teeth while thinking furiously.
Furrowing his brows, he asked, " Ni Ni..., could you tell me if you like to live here forever?!!"
"Do I have a choice?!!"
"If you get to choose..."
She inhaled and exhaled deeply and holding her tears, she said with a quivering voice, " I didn't like this world, it's not my world! However, I couldn't bear to leave any of you. If I got to choose to go back..., I want all of you to come with me. You know..., I don't have any family or friends there..., all I do was just working to make enough money to rent a place to sleep and eat. I have experienced living on the street, selling my voice on the street to get money to buy food, but no one by my side. Because I look pretty, women avoided me, they afraid I would steal their boyfriends, while the men trying every way to sleep with me. But no one helps me unconditionally. However, you..., Derrick and Dawg helped me a lot and all of you have become a big part of my life. If I left, I might miss all of you like crazy!"
After her long explanation, she sobbed with relief.
'Dad' was staring at her with deep emotion and after a heavy sigh, he said, " What if I told you, that you belong in this world.., that I am indeed your real father?!!"
She looked at him with a confused look.
"Would you dare to hear a story?!!"
She nodded with curiosity...
Then he told her everything from beginning to end.., leaving only the fact of her comatose body behind. It would be better for him to hide the fact, for now, thus he didn't have to force her to keep the secret.
With disbelief, she said, " You are the man that was pushing me to the immortal lake?!! You are my real father?!!!"
'Dad' nodded..., Ni Ni got up from her chair and pacing up and down the room with deep thought.
After a long conversation with her inner self, she accepted her fate and destiny. 'Indeed, the selfless man is her father. He sacrifices his life for her'.
"Daddy...", she ran toward him and hugged him without restraint.
"My daughter!!"
He was glad that finally, the secret was out...
Next, he would visit his old friend by himself...
He smiled at his upcoming strategy...
