After Taozant told the team how and where to train. they decided to meet for the last time and say goodbye.
"Well, we won't see each other in months, I guess this will be the last we see each other this year," Ash spoke, "I'll miss you" Sutaro sobbed, "come on, don't cry it's not like we will never see each other again,".
"Anyway, Ream wanted to give us something," Sutaro encouraged Ream, "come on, you don't have to be embarrassed.
"S-s-since we will be on our own for a l-long time, I made these rings as a m-memorial" Ream stuttered as she was embarrassed to give them the rings. but with Sutaro's help, she managed to gather her courage to tell them about it.
"aw, thank you it's beautiful" Tobi stated, "I agree" Ash agreed.
then Ream blushed because she was happy that they liked their gift.
"passengers for flight SA 69 to china, please, go to gate 24"
"That's my plane I have to go now, see you after 8 months," Ash said and then went to gate 24 in the airport.
"I'll go now I have to meet my dad after 1 hour on top of mountain Monir, goodbye," Tobi said and proceeded to fly high in the sky.
"Shelby street we go" Sutaro stated.
. . . Tobi arrived on top mountain Monir . . .
"oh, there he is," Tobi said after seeing his father, then he proceeded to get closer to talk to him.
"When we asked Taozant about the training and all he told me to ask you about your secret," Tobi said.
"So the time has come," Bernard replied
"Time for what," Tobi said
"The secret" bernard
"the secret?"
"Fly with me," Bernard Commanded and proceeded to fly and Tobi followed him.
"where are we going," Tobi complained.
And Bernard answered, "to a place you've never been to before".
"A place I've never been to before? that's interesting" Tobi said
"There it is" Bernard stated their arrival.
"Well, that was fast, but this place doesn't look good," Tobi said.
After they reached that place, Tobi Stuttered "this place is creepy", to which Bernard commented, "it is".
then they walked into an abundant creepy village, covered in fog, most people there look intimidating.
"Are you sure this is the place?" Tobi said, "I don't feel like this is the place", "this is the place I know it more than my name" Bernard assured
"Yes, there it is," Bernard said when they reached a mysterious book store, so they went inside.
"Welcome, how can I help you," a strange voice said.
"Woah, what is that?" Tobi answered surprisingly.
"One fear book" Bernard Requested, "where is she?" Tobi asked.
"Her name is Shelf, she is just a voice, and not a person" Bernard answered.
Then magically a book appeared in Bernard's hands.
"Thanks for your purchase," the strange voice said
"So it's free?" Tobi asked, "well yes but actually no, they give these books for only the people of deserve it they say, and I am one of them? Bernard answered
"This place is weird" Tobi commented, "anyway, how will this book help me?".
"So, these books, they are called energy books, by activating one you will unlock some the hidden power inside of you, this is called the book of fear so it will unlock the fear power hidden inside of you.
It is said that every human has all the power in the world but they need to activate it, so scar activated most of his power if not all of it, everyone can become as strong as him if only they trained a lot, well this is still a theory, although it might be hard to believe, at least you can unlock a little bit of that power using this book," Bernard explained.
"And how do I use the book to activate my hidden power," Tobi asked, "just hold the book, close your eyes, and imagine you sucking energy from it," Bernard answered "but, before that, you need to understand something.
this book will make you sleep and dream for 4 months, don't worry about your body I'll take care of it, you will only need to worry about your mental health, in these dreams you will see absolutely the worst that could happen to you, they didn't call it the book of fear for no reason, everyone fears fighting brave people don't get rid of fear they use it to overcome whatever is in their way.
Your mom will probably kill me if she knew about that, you are 16 but you are just like me I believe that you will face everything that you will see there, just remember that everything you will see is just a dream,".
Tobi didn't seem to like what his dad told him, but he proceeded anyway,
He held the book, closed his eyes, and then imagined sucking energy from it, then he fell asleep.
"It's only a matter of time before he passes me, now I know what my dad felt when he said "kids these days are annoying",".
Tobi wakes up in his bed wondering "what happened, why am I here?".
"Tobi, the breakfast is ready," Tobi's mom Interrupted.
"breakfast? this early in the morning?" Tobi questioned then he looked at his phone, "whaaaat? 8 am??" Then Tobi rushed to get out of bed to eat breakfast.
"It's 8 am why are you still sleeping" Bernard questioned, "I don't know, maybe the alarm didn't work this time for some reason, I need to be quick or else I'll be late " Tobi answered.
"You don't know? that's bizarre," Bernard said, "anyway when will you go camping with your friends, you said 8 am right?". "yes" Tobi answered. "that's funny" Bernard chuckled
"wait this is weird, I know it's today, but why do I feel like I don't know?" Tobi thought to himself, "something is not right".
After Tobi finished eating he went to his room to find his camping equipment ready which was weird to him because he does not remember when did he get them.
Then he took his things and went to the place where they agreed to meet up.
"Where is Tobi? why is he not here yet?" Sutaro complained.
"It seems like he will be late" Ash answered.
Then Tobi arrived.
"What happened? why are you late?" Ash objected.
"I woke up late" Tobi answered.
"anyway, We are all here, the forest from this side," Ash said after they grouped up.
And so they went to the forest.
"This is the map, we need to find this tree from that tree we will go north when we are there we will split up and play a little game after the game we will go there so we can camp by the river's side," Sutaro remarked.
Then they proceeded to go to the tree.
. . .
"Why did I come up with this idea, this place is terrible there are bugs everywhere," Sutaro complained, "get away from me,",
"Shut up it was your idea, and I was forced to go with you because I'm the only one who disagreed," Ash objected.
"oh you, you should've not come if you didn't want to come, no one would notice you almost don't talk anyway,".
"Stop fighting, we are friends," Ream insisted, "I agree, stop this, we are close to the tree," Tobi agreed.
"Here, this is the tree," Sutaro stated, " but wait it's 5 pm?? how? according to my watch we were walking for 9 hours this can't be true, check your phones maybe mine is broken,".
"mine says 5 pm" Ash answered, "mine too" Tobi answered "and so does mine" Ream also answered.
"Well if that's the case then we will need to camp here, I and Ream will set up the tents and campfire, you two go get some water from the river".
and while they were doing their thing, a sneak appeared in front of Ream, and she screamed, "snaaaaake, it's a snaaake!".
Sutaro came and caught the snake from her neck, saying "what's wrong with the snake?".
"Why are not scared from it?" Ream questioned, "because it's just a snake," Sutaro answered.
Then after the two boys came with some water, Sutaro threw the snake on them, and they screamed, "are you crazy? what if it bit us, do you have the antidote?".
"This snake is not poisonous" Sutaro chuckled and proceeded to call them cowards.
After the sun had set, the team gathered some wood from the forest and made a campfire.
"one day a man and a child were walking in the middle of the street in the middle of the night in the middle of July when a middle life crisis victim jumped in the middle of the street because he wanted to commit suicide in the middle of his life in the middle of the night and the middle of the street, and so he got hit by a car and died, the man told the child that suicide would do nothing for him.
"This man right here was called the middle man because he was in the middle of everything except his well-being.
He used to work for a middle-earning company with a middle salary, he never had a wife or a girlfriend or a family he attempted to commit suicide 5 times which is the middle of 10 the number of good days he had in life.
These 10 good days were the days he had friends.
And he never had friends after that, which led him to end his own life"."
Sutaro told a short.
"This one is bad," Ash complained.
"well that's the point" Sutaro answered
"I liked the part where that man died though" Ash continued
"I don't think you are supposed to like that" Sutaro answered
Tobi then brought some marshmallows and they started eating
Then they heard a weird sound from the bushes.
. . .
