In the heart of an endless void, there stood a boy, his skin prickling with the Icy touch of darkness he despised. It press around him, a suffocating weight on his chest making it increasingly difficult for him to breath, he can hear his own heart beat, a frantic rhythm that match the panic that slowly rise.
A wave of despair wash over him as he wonder how he end up in this empty void, with nothing but darkness as his company. He look around desperately, trying to find anything in this emptiness.
With trembling hand, he reach out into the darkness, searching for something... Anything for him to hold. But there was nothing, no solid ground, no walls, no light to guide him out from this void of emptiness.
Tears slowly welled up in his eyes as he strunggle to find a way out, he shout loudly into the void, his voices echoed back to him, hollow and empty, he felt utterly alone and abandoned by the world.
"Hello!" He shout loudly as his voices echoed back to him much to his despair, where is he? Where's his brothers? Is cold and queit here and he hate it!
"Abang?!" He shout once again as he look around in panic, his anxiety building up upon not seeing anything beside the darkness.
He pant loudly as he clenching his hand to his clothes, fear consume his mind as he trying his best to stay calm and collected. The last thing he remember is he and his brothers in a mission on a planet in sector H-36Y before his vision suddenly fade into nothingness.
A laughter caught his attention as his eyes widen in horror after realizing who the owner of the laugh he heard was, no no no! Not him! Anyone but him!
He caught a glimpses of someone he wish he will never see again before the figured blend with the darkness, he can't believe his eyes, please someone wake him up! If he's asleep right now please wake him up!
Beads of sweat formed on his forehead, his hand trembled uncontrollably as he clutched at his heart as if trying to steading his racing heart.
His eyes darted around the room, wide with fear yet unfocused, as if he can't seem to see what was infront of him, a sense of impending doom hung over him, weighing him down like he was being crush by a heavy rock. For the first time in a long time he felt trap and lost.
He tried to summon his power but it seemed to betray him as it didn't come out as he expected, he started to run around, hoping to see anything beside the void, he can hear his own breath and feel his pounding heart.
He run and run before he stumble on his own feet and fell down to the ground.
"Is anyone there?!" He scream once again and yet again his voice echoed back at him with the same hollowness, another laughter fill his ears as solar quickly stand up and look around him with fear.
Solar tried to push back the rising panic as he desperately trying to cling to some resemblance of control, the darkness and laughter become more and more overwhelming and unbearable, swallowing him whole and leaving him gasping for air. His heart pounded in his chest, his breaths coming in short with some shallow gasps.
"Pathetic" the word suddenly enter his thought as he longing for some comfort, he hug himself tight as he tried to ignore the word that rushing his way.
"Weak"
"Dangerous"
"They don't want you"
"They hate you"
"Dissapointment"
"Freak!"
"Shut up! Shut up! shut up! Shut up!" Solar fearfully held his ears, trying not to hear all the words but they all came in freely.
"We hate you!" The sudden voice of one his brother shock him as he snap his head around, did he hear that right?
"Stay away from us!" Another voices enter his hearing as his face morph into confusion and hurt.
"W-what?" He mumble under his breath as he can see his siblings in the distance, not with their warm and loving look, instead it was hatred and dissapointment.
"You can't control a mere power! You dissapoint us solar!" The oldest said with cold tone as solar slowly step forward, he didn't mean that right?... Right?
"W-what?" He mumble while taking a step forward.
"You heard him" gempa who usually warm and full with affection show nothing but a resent look toward him.
"Please! I will try to control it better!" He pleed but the glare they sent make him stop on his track.
"You're a monster!" This time their usually innocent brother said with clear fury in his eyes, a rare sight for him to see.
"Abang?" He call out to them, before a chain suddenly wrap around his body.
"Don't abang us, we don't know you" blaze playfull nature vanish as he look at the youngest as if he's their enemy.
"What?!" He shout in panic as he tried to freed himself from the chain, more of them form and trap him in place causing the youngest to rebell even more.
"Help!" He call out but none of them seem to move nor show concern like they always do, both Taufan and ice look at him coldness as both of them refused to utter a word to him.
"Let's go" the oldest order as all of them begin to leave him with the chains that wrap around him.
"No! i am sorry! Don't leave me!" He shout desperately as the chain pull him down, forcing him to kneel on the ground.
"PLEASE!!!!" He broke down crying as he beg for his brothers to come back, not again! Please! He will be good!
"ABANG!!!"

"WAKE UP YOU STUPID LIGHTBULB!" he was suddenly jolt awake when a bucket of water splash on his face, making him all wet from the event.
"What was that for?!" He yell at one of his brother who holding a bucket in his hand, his amber eyes look at him with clear frustation with a hint of... Worried?
"Is not my fault you won't wake up! Man are you trying to copy ice cause one ice is enough" he said while pouting at the youngest making solar huft in annoyance as he look around him.
"Where are we?" He ask upon seeing the unfamiliar room they're in with blaze who peek at the door before closing it once again.
"We're in an abandoned building i found after we escape" he said before sliding down next to solar who are slightly shivering.
"Wait, where the other? And what happen?" He ask when he can't find their remaining siblings anywhere, he can't seem to recall anything beside him walking with his brothers in a small road they found before everything turn black, he concluded that he possibly fainted.
"Long story" blaze said while he grab extra jacket that tied around his wrist to cover the youngest body with solar who look at him with a flat expression.
"Shorten it" he answer back while grabbing the jacket with blaze clicking his tongue before looking at his brother.
"Well..."
*Flashback*
They were on their way toward the powerspera location like they always do, halilintar and gempa being the mature one in their group took the lead. Thorn, taufan and ice in the middle while blaze and solar on the back.
"Are we there yet?" Blaze for the umpteenth time complain as they already walk for ages!
"Be patient blaze" gempa as patient as always said to their brother who seem to pout, all of them are tired but they need to keep going if they want to rest.
"But gemgem!" He whine with halilintar who are a minute away to hit his head, he been complaining since they arrive here!
"Immature" solar comment which earn an angry fuss from their hot head brother.
"What did you say lightbulb?!" He yell loudly with solar seem unfaze by the shout.
"Do i have to repeat myself?" He ask sarcasticly much to blaze annoyance, the others sweatdrop at the scene as this is a normal thing for them.
"Guys don't fight" gempa tried to calm them down as he look at both of them with a tired look, they continue to fight before the oldest sense something off.
"Hush!" He suddenly said as both of them stop arguing and look at the oldest with curious look, that until an anesthetic shot past all of them before it hit the youngest, making him fall asleep immedietly.
"Solar!" Blaze in refleks summon his iconic fire cakram and almost slice the enemy if she isn't quick enough to dodge it, succesfully protecting the youngest from being taken by them.
"Oh you sure are fast" the woman said as she dissapeard from their sight as the rest of the siblings stood around blaze and their unconscious brother from harm.
Multiple rocket suddenly went toward them as they were force to split up, blaze hurriedly carried solar like a sack of rice before running toward the others before he was stop by many enemy surrounding them.
"Blaze! Solar!" Taufan rush to their side as the enemy manage to corner them, he summon a protective shield around them as he glare at their enemy.
"Give us solar and things won't get messy" the woman demand with halilintar who suddenly infront of her and attack her with his sword.
"Don't interupt!" She yell before a fan like weapon block his sword and send him a few meter away, gempa quickly summon his golem to assist his brothers in the battle with ice's arrows and thorn's vines.
"You will not touch him!" Gempa shout before his golem emerge from the ground behind her which make her jump away and grin.
"Oh no, your brother may be in danger" she said mockingly before she press a red button she's holding which set an explosion around them, the ground where blaze's and solar's stand crumble which led them to fall down freely to their death.
"No!" Taufan chase after them before a rope tied around him and throw him away from their falling brothers, halilintar in anger slash the enemy but the woman dissapeard from their sight.
"Oh no oh no oh no oh no!" Blaze hold solar's unconscious figured protectively as they are falling to their doom with him panickly look around for anything to save them!
He process to search for something in his pocket before grabbing something in his hand, a small life saving device that can create a barrier sufficient to withstand the fall.
He press it before the device form a barrier around him and his brother while he hold him close as they getting closer and closer to the ground.
A loud crash was heard as blaze slowly stand up while holding the youngest in his arm, they manage to survive that long fall with only a small cut.
Blaze sigh in relief before the sound of footstep caught his attention, he process to carried solar and hide somewhere before he found a small cave and decided to hide there for the time being.
*Flashback end*
"And after that, we move again until i found this building and rest for the night here" he said while making sure the door and window are lock incase an unwanted guess decide to barge in unexpectedly.
"Suprise you didn't panic when we fall like that" solar can't help but comment which make blaze huft once again while mumbling something under his breath.
"I don't always panic!"
"Yes you do"
"Am not!"
"Want me to list every single one?"
"Heck no!"
And now the two of them start to argue with each other like they always do before suddenly the lighting on the planet dissapeard which cause the darkness to take over.
"What the?!" Blaze shout in suprise by the sudden event before he heard a heavy breathing from the other.
"Solar?" He look around as now solar begin to mumble quietly under his breath, worried was the right word to describe what blaze feel at the moment.
"Solar? Where are you?" Blaze walk around as now his older brother instint told him to get his butt to the youngest immedietly!
He manage to figured out the youngest position as he crouch down to him, his hand holding solar's hand as the youngest flinch at the touch which make blaze frown at his reaction.
"Solar? What's wrong?" He ask when he can feel solar's hand that slightly shaking and cold, the others seem quiet as he tighten his hold on his hand.
"N-nothing" he stutters at his word as blaze suddenly realize what's going on, solar's phobia... His gaze soften before he pull the youngest to his embraced, he may be a trouble maker but he's also an older brother.
"I am here" he whisper to his ears as the youngest slowly return the hug while hiding his face in the other's shoulder, he normaly would hit him for the sudden hug attack but this time he will let this slide.
They stay in that position for a moment before blaze pull away and summon his fire for some light, he can now see the youngest face clearly. He can see his teary eyes as he gently rub it away with his thumb, making the youngest turn away in embarrassment.
Blaze would love to tease him but now the situation are inadequate for him to do so, solar took a moment to collect himself before he turn on his watch and try to contact the others.
"Solar! Are you okay?!" A hologram of a worried mama bear can be seen as blaze smile in amusement, he will never get bored with this, sure it can get really annoying but he wouldn't trade it for anything in the whole universe.
"I am fine gem, me and blaze in an abandoned building he found when i was out" he said before a few unrest occurred behind him making both solar and blaze furrow their brows.
"What's going on over there?" Blaze voice out his thought with solar who look at him with a "who the hell are you?" Look to him, i mean who wouldn't wonder when your troublemaker of a brother suddenly settle down, didn't cause a dramatic scene nor cause any trouble for once.
"Oh that's taufan and thorn who searching for you two" suddenly the screen absurdly change to the two said brother who look relief seeing both of them.
"Thank God you two okay!" Taufan said as his head got hit by the oldest who just arrive in the hologram, both solar and blaze sweatdrop at the chaotic scene infront of them.
"Okay that's enough,you two send your coordinate, i will come get you" halilintar demand as solar slightly caught the look of relief from the oldest as blaze pout at him, tsundere-
"We can take care of ourself" blaze roll his eyes before halilintar sent a glare to him which didn't effect him one bit, they got use to it by now.
"Stay safe" ice voice enter their hearing as both of them nod their head, the communication then turn off with blaze who pull solar close to him.
"What are you doing?!" Solar rebell as he feel embarass by his action before blaze chuckle and tighten his hug.
"Just looking out for my baby brother~" he tease while putting on a annoying face to the youngest.
"We are the same age!"
"Still my baby brother"
"I am not a baby!"
"Yes you are!"
"No i am not!!"
"You can't change my mind"
Eventually solar gave up and let himself get comfortable in their position, he can't help but feel slightly sleepy. And the fact that blaze humming a lullaby right now can't help him stay awake as now he slowly let his eyes close, letting the comforting darkness take over.

Solar sigh as he sit on a small garden in their spaceship, right now he and his siblings are on their way toward the headquarter and he can't help but want to be alone for a moment.
The nightmare he have earlier been bothering him ever since he got in the spaceship and the fact that he cried earlier with blaze make him feel... Weak...
He let his mind travel around as he sit and blankly stare at thorn's plant infront of him, didn't even realise that someone enter the room and sit next to him.
"Solar"
"Gah!" He jump in suprise before the culprit laugh at his reaction,making solar blush in embarrassment once again.
"Stop laughing!" He shout as he turn his head away while blaze chuckle for a moment.
"Sorry! Pff-" he continue to giggle for a moment much to solar's annoyance, blaze process to hold his shoulder which gain solar attention.
"Whats on your mind?" He ask which caught solar in suprise, oh wow this firehead of a brother of his suddenly become a whole new person in a day multiple time now.
"Who are you?" He ask suspiciously which make blaze flick solar's forehead.
"Ow! What was that for?!" He ask with blaze who look at him unamused.
"That's not the point, i know something bothering you" he said which make solar turn his head away.
"Is nothing serious" his answer however didn't satisfied blaze which make him forcing solar to look at him.
"Tell me" he demand with solar who look at him unfaze.
"And why would i?"
"Because i said so!"
"And why do you care?"
"Because you're my brother!" He bruntly answer which cause solar to look at him with a slight open mouth while blaze? He slightly blush at his own word but he's not going to back away now would he?
"And i care for you, for all of you" he said as he look away, find the floor very interesting for some reason. Solar blink for a few time before he smile at him.
"Didn't know you can be a tsundere"
"That's not the point!"
"It is to me!"
"Listen what i am trying to get it through that rock head of yours is that i will be here for you no matter what!" Blaze said while ruffling his hair aggresively, he sometimes want to give a good hit to their youngest head but he won't want to get a scold from their mama bear.
Solar froze at his word as blaze seem a little red now, the youngest mouth form a small smile while he look at a hydragea flower not far from them.
"Suprise that come from your mouth"
"Hey!"
And with that his thought about his nightmare dissapeard, replaced with blaze angry shout to him with a red face much to his amusement.
Unknowingly to them, one of their brothers stand near the door, his hand fold on his chest with a small unnoticable smile, his ruby eyes gaze at them before he walk away, letting them having their bonding time together.
