The four of them live as orphans.

One day, on their day off, Mako and his friends go to the Greenwood forest located to the North of Silver Roy Village. That morning they went there to find game animals and food to meet their needs. While they were hunting, Hearby saw a mysterious blue light. 'Ah..' Surprise Hearby while falling. Hearing Hearby's cries, Mako, Jhonny, and Elizabeth begin to approach Hearby. 'What's Hearby…?' Mako asked while looking at Hearby who had fallen. 'A. I was surprised to see this mysterious light.' Hearby answered, trying to stand up. Seeing the blue light, Elizabeth was confused and tried to approach the light with Jhonny, 'What light is this…? I'm very curious.' Elizabeth said as she tried to approach the light. 'Hmm. It's really weird. But whatever it is, I want to touch it even if it's dangerous.' Jhonny who tried to touch the mysterious light. Seeing the reaction of Jhonny who wanted to touch the light, with curiosity Elizabeth also wanted to touch it. 'All right, Jhonny, let's do it. If we just keep quiet, we won't know what this mysterious light is.' Elizabeth said, inviting Jhonny to touch her. Suddenly, Johnny and Elizabeth are sucked into it. 'Ah..' Shouted Jhonny and Elizabeth. 'Jhonny, Elizabeth' Shouted Mako watching Jhonny and Elizabeth being sucked into the mysterious light. Seeing Jhonny and Elizabeth being sucked into that light, Mako made the decision, 'If this is the case, there is no other way to save them than to get into that light' Mako said firmly. Hearing Mako's words, Hearby still hesitated whether to report to the villagers first or directly save them. 'Hmm... are we better off reporting to the villagers first, then saving them both…?' Hearby asked confusedly. Mako looked worried about her two friends, No. We better save them both. If it were to report it again to the villagers, it would take a long time.' Answer Mako. Hearby finally agrees with Mako's decision, although he still has little doubt. 'Yes, okay. I agree with your decision.' Hearby said doubtfully. 'Ok, let's get into that light' Mako said with his unanimous decision. Finally they entered the mysterious light.

After entering the light, they finally arrived at an unknown land. They fell on the ground and then looked around the two of them. They finally find Jhonny and Elizabeth. 'Jhonny, Elizabeth' Shouted Hearby as she raised her hand up to show Jhonny and Elizabeth the location of the two of them. Hearing Hearby's cry, Jhonny and Elizabeth come to Mako and Hearby. 'You guys are okay…?' Mako asks who is worried about Jhonny and Elizabeth. 'Yeah, we're okay. But, where are we now…?' Elizabeth asked while looking around. 'I don't know. We better get to this place soon.' Mako. 'Ok, let's go.' Jhonny. They pored over the place together.

Meanwhile in Silver Roy Village, a security officer, Officer Thompson as usual always comes in the afternoon to visit the residence of Mako and his friends. 'Mako, Jhonny, Hearby, Elizabeth, I can enter. Here, I brought you some food..' Officer Thompson was shocked to see their quiet home. Officer Thompson found out that every afternoon, Mako and his friends were home in the afternoon. 'It's weird, ' said Officer Thompson, who checked every room in their house. Seeing that oddity, Officer Thompson made the decision, 'I'd better report to the boss, Mr. Edward. Maybe he can give you the best decision to find the four of them.' Officer Thompson went to see his boss.

In an unknown country, as they traveled through the country, they met a girl who was their age. The four of them immediately approached the girl. Seeing Mako and her friends, the girl immediately introduced herself, 'Hi. I live in the South of the Country. Greetings Kenal.' Said Asami softly. Hearby introduced the four of them, 'Hi. This is James Mako and to his right Jhonny Livingston and to whose side Jhonny is Elizabeth Richie. It's nice to meet you.' Hearby said as she showed her friends and replied with a smile. It was getting dark, Asami also invited the four of them to rest at his house, 'Yes, alright. Because the day is getting, if you want, you can rest in my place.' Said Asami who then invited Mako and his friends to rest at his residence. 'Yes, okay.' Answer Hearby. Together they went to the south of the country to Asami's residence.

In Silver Roy Village, after Officer Thompson reported what happened to Mr. Edward, Mr. Edward immediately formed a search team with other officers and some villagers.

At night in an unknown land, Mako and his friends finally arrive at Asami's residence. Asami invited Mako and her friends to enter her house, 'Friends, this is my home. It's not too fancy but consider it your own home.' Asami said while inviting Mako and his friends to enter his house. The four of them accepted Asami's invitation, 'Thank you for allowing us to rest in your house.' Hearby. Everyone went to Asami's house.

Upon entering Asami's house, Hearby sees a year-old boy above them. Hearby was fascinated to see the looks of the teenager. Asami also introduced the teenager, 'Oh yes, I forgot. This is my brother, his name is Jack Marco.' Asami. 'And Jack, these are my friends, this is James Mako, right Hearby McMachee, left Jhonny Livingston and next to Jhonny is Elizabeth Richie.' Asami continues when introducing Mako and his friends to Jack. 'It's nice to meet you.' Mako said, then smiling. 'Yes, you're welcome.' Reply Jack. After getting acquainted, Asami invited them all to dinner. 'Better now we have dinner together. You guys please sit in the dining room, let me prepare the dishes.' Asami said while showing the dining room. 'Thank you very much for your invitation. Alright Asami, Elizabeth and I will help you prepare the dish.' Hearby. 'Oh. well then, let's help me bring the dishes.' Asami replies, inviting Hearby and Elizabeth to help him.

After all the dishes had been prepared, they ate together. After finishing eating, Asami showed the room for the four of them to rest, 'There, it is the room for you to rest. The bathroom is on the right side of your room. Ok, it's time for bed. I've started to get sleepy.' Asami said while showing their rest room and bathroom and then rushed towards her bedroom. Everyone went to their room to rest.

The soldier directly brought him before their leader, 'Let's come with me to meet the leader!' Said the soldier who then tied Officer Thompson's hands together and brought him to the leader.

After facing the leader of their soldiers, the leader asked a number of questions, 'Where did you come from…?' Ask the leader. Officer Thompson ignored the question. 'What made you come here…?' Ask the leader again. But Officer Thompson did not speak a word. Finally, the leader tortured him and took him to the prisoner's cell, take him to the holding cell. I'll interrogate him a little. Don't tell the king about this. If the king finds out, he'll kill us all.' Said the Leader. 'But sir.' said one of the soldiers who was immediately stopped by the leader, 'Already, you all have to shut up about this. If he doesn't want to tell me a bit of information, I'll torture him and then I'll leave it to the king.' Said the leader. 'Good, Sir.' Said the soldiers simultaneously. There, Officer Thompson was tortured
