He is standing right there before Varz"s presence with hid hand wielding the grip of his Katana on his right waist. He is a short-haired guy in a red Kimono.

"Hold on, did you say 'Arz'? Don't tell me?! He is that 'Arz'?!" Alfi is shocked by realizing that.

"Salutation, my name is Arz." He said. "I am here not to fight, regardless I am the boss here that you have to defeat to get outta here. Speaking of which, Varz, Have Doraduo acknowledged you?" He added.

Varz just stays silent. Suddenly, his sword emits purple Iru again and that makes him look being cornered.

"What is happening?!" Alfi is shocked by seeing what happens

"Looks like Varz doesn't get along well with his Ribo. You can tell that they are enemies." Megumi who popped out from his bracelet explained.

"Enemies? Is that even possible?" Alfi asked.

"We, Ribos tend to be hard to befriend with our masters that we can just try to possess their bodies," Megumi explained. "And, you know what happens next, don"t you?" Megumi asked.

The purple Iru covers Varz"s body. Varz puts off his sword and points it upwards. His right eye is open glowing purple and so do his tattoos.

"ARZ!!!!!" Varz shouted.

"Is there any way to stop it?" Alfi asked panic.

"Let me do it," Arz said dashing to Varz unsheathing his sword.

"I'LL KILL YOU!" Varz shouted swinging his sword.

It makes wind waves that it runs very fast. Arz dodges it quickly and leaps to attack Varz.

When Arz is about to slash Varz, Varz blocks it with his sheathed sword.

"You haven"t changed, eh?" Arz said.

Suddenly, the earth behind Varz emerges and forms Arz body, and it stabs Varz"s back directly. Varz then goes back to his sense and collapses.

"You are still reckless," Arz said sheathing his sword. "Your Highness, if you may." Arz asked.

"OK!" Alfi replied drawing his magic curtain.

After Alfi healing Varz, he lets Varz sleep in his room. Alfi, Megumi, and Arz are in the dining room.

"So, you are Your Highness Alfa?" Arz asked.

Alfi nods.

"I"m sorry for my impudence before," Arz said bowing his head.

"No need to be so formal," Alfi said uneasily. "In any cases, can you tell me what happened to Varz?" Alfi asked.

"So, you realized it too, didn't you?" Arz asked.

"No need to call me like that.(Arz calls Alfi with "anda" which is the most polite of "you" in Indonesian. It has the same meaning as "kimi" in Japanese.)" Alfi said.

"I"m sorry, it"s been my habit, sir," Arz said.

"I did. It"s strange that he never shows his Ribo and he can go berserk like that." Alfi explained.

"It"s because he-"

"Just let me explain it," Varz said who is already at the door.

"Varz?! What are you doing?! You are supposed to take a rest." Alfi said.

"It"s OK, Alfi. I guess I have to explain it by myself." Varz said taking a seat next to Alfi.

"Well, you did see my right eye and tattoos glowing purple when I went berserk?" Varz asked.

Alfi just nods.

"They said that it"s a curse. I..." Varz is speechless.

Arz pats Varz"s shoulder and says, "There, there, let me do it."

Varz just nods.

"So, 20 years ago, our village was invaded by a twin-headed dragon. it burnt down our homes and killed the innocent people. At that time, we were short of Doki-Doki users and most of them were killed, yet a lady named Laras (Lit. Meaning: Harmony) sacrificed herself by sacrificing her Ribo to absorb the dragon to her body. When the villagers were celebrating it, Laras escaped to the forest with the sages. The dragon was alive and trying to come out from her body. As Laras didn't want to let it go so it could destroy the village again, so she asked the sages to seal it." Arz explained.

"And... How did they seal it?" Alfi asked.

Megumi looks sad.

Stolen content warning: this content belongs on Royal Road. Report any occurrences.

"Laras sacrificed herself by resisting herself to give birth to Varz. All of her organs went smaller and all of her cells merged into a vessel, which is a body and a baby was born with 2 dragon tattoos twining both of his arms and a birthmark-like-compass-needle around his right eye with the dragon sealed in her sword which was passed on Varz as his Jowa?" Arz explained.

Varz drips his tears.

"Your life will be full of burdens, everyone will hate you, you'll be lonely, but don"t ever blame them. One day, you will be able to smile with your dearest ones. Remember, you have to be strong. I"m very sorry. Please forgive me. I love you." Varz sobbed.

Alfi and Megumi cry.

"Alright, you two. Don't cry please." Arz said awkwardly.

They then stop crying.

"Well, I can see that. I"m sorry." Alfi said.

"Don"t mind. It"s better to ignore them." Varz said.

"With the dragon with you, it must be hard for you, right?" Megumi said.

"Very. When they bullied me, It always possessed me and it tortured them. Their parents told them to stay away from me and the sages told me to stay at home. The villagers asked the sages to kill me as they consider me a threat and they always curse my existence. You know, I guess I"d rather die than live such life as mine. A life full of hatred and burden is harder than death itself." Varz explained.

"I see. Glad to have you here." Alfi said.

"What makes me want to survive is the sages who always train me and protect me from the villagers" anger. I think if I could protect them, maybe they'll at least acknowledge my existence. Not to mention, I started not to feel lonely after meeting Franz and Arz." Varz explained.

"Sorry Varz, did you kill Arz?" Alfi asked awkwardly. "Franz told me before Arz." He added.

"I... Had no choice." Varz said awkwardly.

"Well, I told him to do so," Arz said. "At first, I was assigned to befriend Varz to watch him as they thought that I was able to overcome his berserk mode. I hesitated, then Franz came with me as he wanted to befriend Varz as well. When we visited him, Varz went berserk and I managed to calm him down. He hesitated to befriend us in the first place, as time went by, we got along. I trained him to overcome his Ribo, yet it always ended up a failure." He added.

"It was exhausting. That shitty dragon always insults me. I don"t know what he wants nor what makes me hate me, but Arz always told me that overcoming it is a must to protect the world. Hard training is just not enough. And also, after knowing that Kartika is the one who will marry Alfa, I kept trying to befriend with it, so that I could be Alfa." Varz said.

Alfi feels awkward.

"And then, it happened," Arz said. "Something was twisting me and trying to possess my body. My body went heavy and I went unconscious. Good grief I met Varz and I asked him to kill me." He added.

"Why?!" Alfi asked.

"Arz, can you tell me what twisted you?" Megumi asked.

"I think it"s something like a snake, yet it was made of a solid Iru," Arz said. "Do you know what I mean?" He asked.

Megumi nods.

"Megumi, tell me." Alfi said.

"Such Iru can suck one's soul and posses the body like a virus taking over its prey, and you must know what happens, right? If he were possessed by it, he would have infected it to the villagers." Megumi explained.

"So, that"s why. I had no choice but to kill him." Varz added awkwardly.

"Varz," Arz said. "I"m here to help you overcome it, anyway it"s my mission which needs to be done, right?" He added.

"So, you want to try it again? Are you sure?" Varz asked hesitated.

"Sure, let"s give it a lesson once and for all." Arz said pressing Varz"s chest.

A purple portal appears on Varz"s chest. Varz looks unconscious.

"Your Highness, if you don"t mind," Arz said.

"OK," Alfi said. "Come on, Megumi." He added.

Megumi jumps back to his bracelet. Alfi and Arz then jump entering the portal together.

They both find themselves on the rocky plain with purple Iru as the sky. Varz is standing there before a giant purple twin-headed wyvern (It"s a wyvern, but most people call it "dragon", so let"s go with calling it a dragon.) It"s as high as 2 Eiffel tower, It"s as big as rich guy"s crib, and its wings are extending covering the sky behind it.

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?!" It enraged.

"I"m here because I want you to be my Ribo," Varz said.

"HOW IMPUDENT! I THOUGHT YOU'VE GIVEN UP ON THAT THING. DO YOU THINK YOU CAN TAME ME THAT EASILY?!" It exclaimed.

"You will be my Ribo! I will protect this world!" Varz exclaimed.

"I DON'T CARE WHAT YOUR MOTIVE IS! THE CONDITION IS JUST THE SAME AS BEFORE: DEFEAT ME, AND I WILL ACKNOWLEDGE YOU AS MY MASTER. I CAN SEE YOU BRING 2 GUYS HERE. I WILL CRUSH ALL OF YOU!" It enraged.

It flaps its wing that makes the ground tremble and thunder strikes over and over. Alfi pulls his magic curtain and throws it to the sky to protect the three from the thunder strikes.

"Let"s go!" Arz said dashing towards it.

The three are dashing towards it. It sweeps its tail fast. Alfi and the others manage to jump it. They are getting closer. Both of its mouths emit electric balls over and over. Alfi and Arz are having trouble evading them, yet Varz is as far as to jump and summon his wind sword which has been amplified by his Iru. Varz then slashes the left neck in a flash speed.

"Yeah!" Alfi and Arz exclaimed.

The dragon collapses as Varz lands to the ground. Varz turns around.

"I won," Varz said.

"HOW NAIVE!" It enraged.

The beheaded head flies hitting Varz"s body very hard. Varz can't stand up as it has layered itself with thunder and wind to hit him. He felt like the earth being drilled by a power drill.

The head flies back to its neck and the dragon gets up on four of his legs. Arz then dashes toward it, but it flaps its wing sending Arz away with the heavy hurricane.

"Arz!" Alfi exclaimed.

Alfi draws Sketor, Jepitron, and Shikulo. Alfi dashes towards it fast. It flaps its wings and Alfi just punches the wind it made that the wind absorbed into Shikulo. Alfi then jumps to the front of both of its heads.

"Tinju Puting! (Hurricane Fist! (FYI "puting" means "nipple" but there"s a phrase "puting beliung" which means "hurricane". I dunno should it be named "nipple fist" instead of hurricane one.))" Alfi exclaimed with Shikulo which has turned into hurricane gloves punching both of its heads very hard.

When Alfi finished jabbing it, it looks nothing happens to the dragon, but it looks pissed off. It then stands up and shouts, "YOU FUCKING BASTARD!"

It roars to summon a lot of great thunder to strike Alfi. It stroke Alfi, but it"s just one of his clones. Alfi then appears before it. It then sweeps its tails to sweep him. It"s another clone. Alfi uses this chance to jump in front of the heads. The dragon opens up both of its mouths to emit thunder balls. It collects a great amount of heavy thunder energy in its mouths. When it emits both of the thunder balls, those balls are merging into one fatal thunder ball. It strikes Alfi that Alfi crashing the ground and left unconscious there.

"Alfi!" Varz exclaimed.

It walks towards Varz and steps on him over and over.

"YOU ARE SO ARROGANT! LIKE THE HELL THE MIGHTY ME WANTS TO HELP SUCH A WEAKLING LIKE YOU!" It exclaimed.

Suddenly, its foot is held by something. Varz is trying to hold its foot with both of his arms.

"I won"t give up anymore! I won"t escape anymore! I want to fight! I want to fight for my dearests!" Varz shouted.

"IF THAT'S SO, JUST FIGHT TO HOLD THIS!" It exclaimed putting force on its foot.

Varz is trying to hold it, yet he seems to be unable to hold it any longer.

"I just found my reason to live! I just can't give up!" Varz shouted.
