Ice, Thunderstorm, and Solar followed Claire deeper into Planet Sol. For once, Solar noticed that there was no life on the planet except for a few desert plants every few blocks. This led him to wonder why Claire was living on this planet.
"We're here," the young cactus alien announced.
It was a bungalow, meaning that it doesn't have stairs or something. The designs were simple, pretty much like the same with the houses in Planet Gurunda. It wasn't much, as Solar observed, but it's enough to accommodate a small family.
Claire knocked at the door of their house. "Mother, Father. We have guests."
The door opened, and they were greeted by a middle-aged couple. They had admitted them all in with a smile.
The inside was simple, like the outside. It has a living room, two bedrooms, a bathroom, and a kitchen/dining room. The furnishings are simple as well, but they were sturdy enough to last a couple of years.
The couple invited them all to sit. They tried to give them refreshments, but they all declined as they had just eaten. The couple nodded in understanding and excused themselves. They started discussing something with Claire, and from what they could observe, it was really serious. After a few moments, they seemed to agree on something. The father turned to them and smiled.
"Claire had told us your identities and the events prior to this, but only from what she had observed. We will give you SinarBot." The smile faltered. "However, there's a catch. Once SinarBot is taken off its platform, the platform will explode after five seconds. The explosion will be big enough to destroy this side of the planet. Someone has to sacrifice to prolong the explosion so that the rest will have time to escape."
The trio looked at each other, then to the father. They simultaneously started speaking.
"I'll do it."
They all looked at each other again. Ice was the first one to speak.
"I can try to subdue the explosion using my ice powers. That way, you can contact TAPOPS and all of you will be teleported there."
"No," Thunderstorm said firmly. "The ice would break easily from the explosion that big. I'll do it. I'll transfer the platform somewhere far away with my lightning speed. That way, the explosion won't affect any of you."
"No. We will all survive this." Solar looked at the others with determination. "I'll teleport all of us to a place far from here so that no one will be a victim of the explosion."
"But in order to do that, you'll have to use a lot of energy. Probably more than what you are capable of," the lightning elemental said, worried. Ice has the same reaction as Thunderstorm.
Solar steeled himself. "I have to. I can gather energy from the heat and brightness of Planet Sol. I don't care if I use too much power. Everyone must be safe."
The other two elementals looked at each other. "Alright, Papa Sol. Whenever you're ready." Ice said. Solar cracked a smile.
"It's been a long time since I last heard that nickname."

"Ready?" the ice elemental asked his youngest brother. Solar nodded at him, eyes glowing from the energy he had accumulated from his surroundings.
"Here goes nothing." With that, Ice took SinarBot from the platform. Almost immediately, a five-second timer started ticking down.

"Solar, NOW!" Thunderstorm shouted at his brother.

Solar's body started glowing brightly as he concentrated on teleporting them.
