Chapter 9 - Chapter 10 : The Forgotten Zone

Host:

After Zumba and the remaining thirteen teenagers were banished, they found themselves in the Forgotten Zone. Many strange adventures awaited them there.

At first, they had no idea where they were.

To their surprise, the Forgotten Zone was not as terrible as they had imagined. The sky was blue, the grass was green, and different species of living creatures roamed the land.

But there was one major problem.

Their powers did not work.

As they explored the planet, they crossed paths with many creatures. Some tried to hunt them for food, while at times, they hunted for survival themselves.

One day, they encountered a massive, aggressive, cat-like creature.

They decided to call it Black Cat.

Black Cat became Zumba's worst nightmare.

The creature believed Zumba looked delicious and swore to eat him at all costs. Every time they met, a fight broke out.

Host:

During one such fight, more Black Cats appeared. Zumba was clearly annoyed—it was unfair.

Zambia and the others refused to help, choosing instead to watch.

Zumba took a serious beating.

But to be fair… he fought bravely.

Just as Zumba was about to unleash his true strength, the Black Cats suddenly began to run away.

Zumba:

"You better run!"

Diana:

"I don't think they're running from you. Look over there."

Host:

The teenagers turned and saw figures standing on a nearby hill—people who looked human.

Curious, they climbed to the top.

There, they found a group of people wearing strange outfits and masks.

Zambia:

"Hello. I'm Zambia. We're new here."

One of the figures removed her mask.

Woman:

"My son."

Zambia:

"Mother?!"

Host:

Zambia ran forward and embraced her, tears of joy streaming down his face. The others stood frozen in shock.

At that moment, Zumba reached the hilltop.

Zambia:

"Zumba… that's my mother."

Zumba dropped his bag and ran forward.

Zumba:

"Mother… is it really you?"

Zumba's Mother:

"Yes, my son. It's me. It's been so long."

Host:

Suddenly, a man carrying a huge saber stepped forward.

Man:

"Who are these imposters?"

Zandra gasped.

Zandra:

"Father?!"

One by one, the teenagers reunited with their loved ones.

But a question remained…

What were their parents doing in the Forgotten Zone?

Host:

Later that day, a large feast was held to celebrate the survivors of Mohab.

Zambia told the story of everything they had faced—from their battle with Zenab, to their fight against the Supreme, and finally their banishment to this place.

Zambia:

"Mother… where is Father?"

Zumba's mother lowered her head.

Zumba's Mother:

"He didn't survive the battle with Zenab. When he realized the planet would be destroyed, he used all his energy to send us here—to the Forgotten Zone."

Zambia began to cry.

Zumba's Mother:

"Don't cry. I'm sure he's proud of all of you."

Zandra's Father:

"Let us raise a cheer—for the return of the survivors, and for the sacrifice of Zumba's father."

Everyone cheered.

Host:

Later that evening, Zumba stood alone, staring at the sky. Lily joined him.

They talked quietly, sharing secrets, fears, strengths, and weaknesses.

The next day, the parents explained the truth.

Parent:

"The Forgotten Zone is not your home. You belong to the outside world. If you stay here for more than three months… there is no way out."

That was why the parents themselves could not leave.

Zumba:

"I promise. If I escape this place, I'll find a way to bring you all back."

An old man approached Zambia.

Old Man:

"I will teach you the technique to leave the Forgotten Zone."

While Zambia trained, Zumba returned to the Black Cat territory.

Zumba:

"Alright, Black Cats. This time, I'm not holding back. Show me what you've got."

Host:

As time passed, the bond between the saints grew stronger—just like their strength.

They taught the people of Mohab new ways to cultivate power. In return, the people shared secret techniques passed down for centuries.

Zumba continued training with the Black Cats, and over time, their conflict finally came to an end.

After weeks of practice, Zambia succeeded.

He could not only open a portal—but keep it stable.

Three months passed like the wind.

During the final week, the teenagers prepared to leave.

They formed a large circle. Inside it stood Zumba, Zandra, Lily, and Diana.

Zambia stood at the center.

After their final goodbyes, Zambia activated the Time Barrier, the technique taught to him by the old man.

Using the combined energy of the thirteen, the barrier opened.

They were pulled through.

The teenagers landed on an unknown planet.

Zumba looked around, eyes sharp.

Zumba:

"Let's kill them all."
