Captain Arial became curious about the young man named Art in the land of Venesia. He immediately ordered his men to find out Art's identity.
"Do you have a photo of him?" asked Captain Arial.
"No, Captain, we didn't get the chance to take a photo because we were busy with the competition!" Polo explained.
"Alright, that's fine. What matters is that you all tried your best and still won a place, even if it wasn't first. I'm proud of you," said Captain Arial.
Then Rojan, Polo, and Delvi went to their respective rooms. Meanwhile, Captain Arial was still puzzled about the young man, and the thought of kidnapping Art began to form in his mind.
Once Captain Arial's men arrived in Venesia, they disembarked from the ship and began disguising themselves as local citizens to gather information about Art's whereabouts.
Then, a phone rang from one of Captain Arial's men.
"Dring-dring-dring"
"Yes, Captain, we've arrived in the land of Venesia, and we're beginning the search for that young man!" said the crew member.
"I'm ordering you to capture that young man and bring him to me!" Captain Arial said over the phone.
"Yes, Captain, we'll take care of it right away!" replied the crew member.
On the other side, Art and his friends were celebrating their victory from the previous day. The celebration was held at Art's house.
Guru and Mother were deeply touched by their achievement, and then Guru took out a musical instrument and played music, making everyone dance and groove together.
"Congratulations, Art, on your victory," said Art's friends and some other guests.
"Yes, thank you all for coming. I'm truly happy and grateful. Let's dance together!" said Art.
But in the middle of the celebration, they suddenly had uninvited guests.
It was Captain Arial's men disguised as police officers.
Everyone at the party grew confused, and the music stopped.
"Why are the police here? We're just having a small celebration, and we haven't caused any disturbance," said Art to them.
"You haven't caused any trouble, but there's someone we need to arrest," said one of the officers.
"Who is that person?" asked Guru, stepping forward.
Then Art was startled by the sudden appearance of a cat angel from behind.
"Hey, Art, come here for a moment. I have something to tell you," said the cat angel.
"Huh? What is it?" replied Art, stepping away from the officers.
Meanwhile, Guru and Art's friends continued speaking with the officers, unaware that these weren't real police officers, but actually Captain Arial's men.
"Art, you have to escape and follow me. They're here to capture you—they're bad people. Hurry, follow me!" urged the cat angel.
"Huh? Why would the police want to arrest me? I haven't done anything wrong," Art replied, still confused.
Back at the party, the "police" claimed they wanted to arrest Art on false accusations—that he had assaulted Captain Arial's daughter. An accusation that clearly had no basis.
"What?" Mother asked. "What did my son supposedly do?"
"Art didn't do anything wrong during the competition, and everything ended peacefully when the winners were announced," said Art's friends in unison.
"I'm sure my son is a good person. There's no way he would do such a thing!" added Guru.
But without warning, one of the men pulled out a gun and fired into the crowd, creating chaos and panic.
Guru, Mother, and Art's friends ran into the house to hide.
"Watch out!" "Move!" screamed everyone as they ran.
Meanwhile, Captain Arial's men started chasing and searching for Art.
"Why would police behave like that?" they all questioned in confusion.
"Something's strange about those police officers. Real police wouldn't just shoot innocent people," said Art's friends.
"Where's Art?" asked Guru and Mother.
Everyone began to panic when they couldn't find Art inside or outside the house.
"Art? Art?! Where are you?!" they all shouted, searching for him.
But Art had already arrived at a building after following the cat angel.
"It seems safe here. Stay here for now until they're gone," said the cat angel.
"Okay… but what's going on, really?" Art asked, still confused.
"Art, you must listen to me. I came here to protect you,"
Then the cat angel explained everything.
"Art, I am your guardian angel. I'm sent by the other angels—by your real mother and father. Your mother asked that I protect you until you succeed in saving our beloved land.
Your mother is already in Nirvana. Your father is still in the place of trials because he had unintentionally harmed many people during his time on Earth and was often involved in war. Though he was a wise man, when angered, he would lose control and often hurt or even kill others.
One way for your father to be released from the place of trials is through you, Art. He still holds a grudge, which keeps his soul from finding peace. That's why he's stuck there. I came to help you retrieve the golden sword that once belonged to your father and return it to its rightful place. Only then will his soul be at peace and pass the trial," said the cat angel.
Art became sad but still confused by the angel's words.
"My parents are Guru and Mother. They're still alive," said Art firmly.
"They are your adoptive parents, Art. Your real parents died on the battlefield—the land where you were born. Your father was a King, and your mother, a Queen," said the cat angel.
"No… that's not possible!" cried Art, running away from the angel, sobbing, unable to accept what he'd just heard.
"Hey Art, where are you going? What I told you is the truth!"
"Don't show yourself outside—they'll catch you!" shouted the cat angel.
But Art ignored the angel's calls. He kept walking aimlessly, crying uncontrollably, unable to believe what he'd just heard.
Then, during his walk, he heard footsteps following him. When he turned around, suddenly—
Art's mouth was covered, his body tied up, and he was shoved into a car.
"Mmmph! Mmmpphh!" Art struggled to make any sound. All he could see were four people dressed in black. He tried to fight back, but it was no use—his hands and feet were tightly bound. Then the car quickly drove away from the area.
