## Background

Mang Asep is a man who cares about the hygiene of his environment. He always burns away the trash that people in his neighbourhood carelessly litter, he often reminds them again and again about the problem of littering carelessly yet the same people that never give any mind about Mang Asep’s lecture suddenly criticised him because they have a problem with the smoke that being caused by Mang Asep’s action  of burning the trash push Mang Asep to the limit of his patience and makes him vulnerable to Ira Sukma’s corruption.

The moment Pak Asep gains his power, he retaliates against everyone and unleashes his smoke to all of the neighborhood thus making a huge threat to all of the living beings in the area. This chain of events is luckily being noticed by Bona, Cika, Puti and Dafa, making the heroes arrive on time to stop the problem as soon as possible. Mang Asep never realized the effect of his action, he intended to teach people in his neighborhood a lesson about littering but never thought about the long term effect of his smoke to the health of the people and animals. He thinks that his smoke will only cause a simple flu to the people that inhale it, he never even thought about many other problems with the lungs and other diseases. But when Dafa told Mang Asep about this, he was still blinded by his rage that he never gave any mind to Dafa’s plea. In his rage Mang Asep even starts using fire trying to attack Dafa and friends creating a lot more problems since his fire is starting to spread and threatening the animals in the area.

Thanks to the combined effort of Dafa and friends, they manage to save everyone in the area and also protect all of the animals. Dafa, using his knowledge of fire, manages to stop Mang Asep by creating whirlwinds using his speed to put off the fire and the smoke of Mang Asep thus neutralizing the threat. Mang Asep finally realized his mistakes so he apologized to all of the people around him and the neighborhood also apologized to Mang Asep for their ignorance about hygiene.
