Pendekar Batari Mahadewi: The Journey to Find Your Self
Episode 111 of the Three Moon World
The black warriors left in the attack that night finally chose to retreat considering their strength was getting smaller. Vidhyana disappeared from sight. His heart was in turmoil when his beloved sister had vanished in space. He decided to search, though he really did not know where to look.
The five students of Ki Gading Putih were trembling because they had lost their younger siblings, especially Jalu and Niken who were already very close to the magical girl. Niken was constantly shedding tears, and Jalu had no clear mind to decide what to do.
“We'd better take care of the ones here first.” Said Buyung, “After that, we should meet with the teacher. Perhaps he has a hint.”
At least in the night battle that day, over ten thousand soldiers had been killed. The Swargadwipa kingdom has lost a lot of strength and it is very vulnerable if there is another attack that comes out of nowhere.
Mahapatih Siung Tiger Beetle was injured quite badly. However, the wound could be quickly treated with various types of medicines and natural mustika owned by the kingdom. The day after the attack, Sri Maharaja Srengenge Ireng held an emergency meeting with the royal dignitaries, discussing specific plans related to defense and other pressing matters caused by the attack that night.
News of the attack quickly spread across the territory of another kingdom. This created a shift in interests, and provoked the desire of other kings who were not allies of the kingdom of Swargadwipa to control the kingdom, considering the territory of Swargadwipa is fertile and rich.
Sri Maharaja Segara Biru, the king of Swargabhumi kingdom was very upset to hear the defeat of the Red Tiger. He considered, the leader of the black-flow swordsman who he believed was too hasty in carrying out his plan. Of all the kings in Mahabhumi, King Segara Biru was the most eager to control the Swargadwipa region. Although at this time the kingdom of Swargadwipa weakened, but attacking the kingdom without a strong reason will actually cause condemnation from various parties.
Buyung and Cendana decided to return to Cemara Seribu college, while Jalu, Niken and Anjani still live in Swargadwipa, helping Mahapatih Siung Tigers Beetles to restore the situation. Several white warriors invited by the Mahapatih had already left, and some, including Pradipa, were still willing to help in the kingdom.
“We will meet the teacher and after that for sure we will come back again here.” Buyung.
“Alright big brother, we do have to share tasks in situations like this.” Said Jalu. Buyung and Cendana leave. Both of them drove at high speed to reach Cemara Seribu soon.
The remaining black warriors from Hell Island still had no intention of returning to Hell. Instead, they filled the void of the defeat of the combined black warriors at Swargadwipa. They lost for the second time after decades ago they experienced the same thing.
The Red Tiger decided to hide somewhere for some time. To be sure, he was reluctant to meet the remaining black stream warriors. His decision to follow the proposal of the warriors of Hell island had brought disaster to him. The plan's falling apart.

Batari Mahadevi and Nala were thrown into another world dimension. The bodies of the two fell from the sky and landed in a place they did not recognize. Nala was unconscious, her power was exhausted when she was dragged into the black hole along with Batari Mahadevi. Meanwhile, Batari Mahadevi rose slowly. His body felt a very painful feeling. He looked around, and found Nala not far from where she had fallen.
‘Who is he? Why does my body seem to rebel when my palms collide with his palms? Where is this? What should I do?.’ Batari Mahadewi's mind is filled with various questions. He limped, approaching Nala's body which was still lying unconscious. Batari Mahadevi surmised that the boy was still the same age as himself, only that the body of the mysterious boy was no bigger than him.
Batari Mahadevi sat cross-legged not far from the boy lying down. It tried to recover its energy by absorbing the natural energy around it. He did not expect, the foreign place had much better energy than any place he had visited before. His energy quickly recovered completely. He looked at the ungodly body of the little boy. Then he walked closer.
Batari Mahadevi decided to recover Nala's energy. He drained his energy with both palms that he touched on Nala's chest. Nala's eyes began to open and she immediately jumped back, but she fell back because her strength was still very weak.
“What are you doing! Why don't you kill me?!” Shouted Nala.
“Make what I do. We don't even know where we are. Clearly, this place is not our world.” Batari Mahadewi.
Nala fell silent, she tried to realize the place was on her feet at that moment. He confirmed what Batari Mahadevi had just said. He looked around him, and found that everything was different. All the plants around him, the color of the sky at night that day, as well as the moon that numbered three brightly lit up in the sky.
“Recover your energy as soon as possible. We don't know what will happen to us next.” Batari Mahadewi. Nala silently did not answer, but she obeyed the words of the girl in front of her.
“At the moment we're just two here. Not that I won't challenge you to fight again.” Nala.
“Terden! But trust me, not right now if you still want to fight with me. I'm still thinking of ways we can get back to our world. You remember, we were both thrown into this world when we were in an energy collision. I don't know, if we do the same thing, whether we can go back to our world, or worse than this.” Batari Mahadewi.
“Tell me, honestly, who are you?” ask Nala.
“I told you, I don't know who I am!” Answer Batari Mahadevi. “What's your name?”
“What's the importance of you knowing my name.” Nala replied, he still could not be friends with his new friend.
“I Batari. You can call me Dance. By what name should I call you?” ask Batari Mahadevi.
“I Nala. Me and my brother from Hell island.” Answer Nala. His attitude is more relaxed.
“Alright, Nala. Get prepared. Something is approaching us.” Batari Mahadewi.
A three-headed Tiger came towards the two. The tiger looked hungry and he came because he smelled the body of Nala and Batari Mahadewi. What makes Nala and Batari Mahadewi stunned is the size of the tiger which is as big as an elephant. The tiger did not roar, but grinned, revealing three of its mouths full of sharp teeth and its six eyeballs glistening in the light of the moon.
The tiger leapt towards Nala and the Batari Mahadevi. Both of them were able to dodge quickly, then Nala landed her punch onto the tiger's body. The punch didn't produce anything. The tiger was getting angry.
“Do not half-use your energy!” Batari Mahadewi. The girl used a lightning footprint and managed to subvert the big tiger. Nala looked upset. He should have done that. He just did not expect to have to use great energy to be able to kill the tiger.
“Is this creature a demon?” ask Nala.
“It seems not. It is precisely your energy that still brings stealth.” Batari Mahadewi.
“I'm not a demon.” Nala lirih. He secretly does not like being called a demon. It does have stealth energy, but it cannot turn into a demon. He also never learned any science from the stealth warriors. All the mustika that he absorbed, and which was implanted by his brother in his body is mostly natural mustika, the rest is a small stealth mustika that will not change the consciousness and form of Nala.
“I'm sorry.” Batari Mahadewi. He felt guilty after knowing Nala's reaction to his words.
“Tak what. Maybe I'm a demon. Nobody wants to be friends with me, except my brother.” Nala.
“While, you can consider me a friend. If you want to. It's up to you.” Batari Mahadewi.
“What will we do next?” Ask Nala.
“We wait for dawn to arrive. At least we can see more clearly everything around us. We'll find out, how can we get back to our world.” Batari Mahadewi.
