The Key to the Sky - Part 2

Hikari : I'm not talking about those books. I have a book that I borrowed from the library. It has pictures, but most of them are burnt or torn in half, and some of the things written in the book are unreadable or don't make sense.

Kenta quickly took the book from Hikari's hand and started to research with Takumi.

Kenta: Hikari, would it be a problem for you if I kept this book for a few days?

Hikari: Don't worry, I have already read the book, and it no longer holds any importance for me. You can keep it as long as you need.

Kenta: Alright, thank you. Also, Takumi, please take the book to the research room. We'll work on it there.

Hikari realized it was getting late, so she got up to leave. Kenta accompanied Hikari and Kenshin to the door to see them off. After everyone had left, Kenta went to the research room to meet Takumi.

Kenta: Kumi, did you find anything? Also, about this A...

As soon as Kenta entered, he was met with a bewildered Takumi holding a few photographs in his hand.

Takumi : Kenta, you need to look at this right away!

Takumi first showed Kenta the photo of his family, and then

Takumi : These... is our family, isn't it? I'm not seeing things, am I?

Kenta : But didn't they die in a normal battle? If this photograph is correct...

Takumi : Did our family actually die fighting against monsters?

Kenta: I can't tell if they're actually fighting or just having a conversation since part of the photo is burned, but why would our family be there in the first place?

Takumi: The other photo is even more interesting, half of it is missing but there's someone very familiar in the remaining part!

Kenta: Hold on... that's you, I think, with the same pigtails and purple hair, but why are you holding a sword with determination in your hand?

Takumi: Even though some parts of the photo are burnt, there are some areas covered with black spots which aren't caused by the burn.

Kenta: What does it say in the book? Did you find anything?

Takumi: "I found a few writings in the book, but many places talk about the classic return of the monsters with their great leader and his assistant. However, some parts are burnt or smudged, especially this section: 'The monsters were preparing for a major comeback with their leaders ☐☐☐☐ and his assistant, everything was ready, but ☐☐☐☐☐☐ had blocked their path to stop them.'"

Kenta: This is really interesting. The Great Comeback, who could ☐☐☐☐ and his assistant be? Maybe there's another clue in the book. Also, who could ☐☐☐☐☐☐ be? This might be related to our family's death. We should continue our research also why are you and who are you standing against, who is his assistant, there are so many questions

Takumi: I don't know, I'm not even sure if it's me

Kenta: Could it be an old story? maybe the photo is old

Takumi : I don't think so because we've seen our family before

Kenta: Do you think we should talk about this tomorrow?

Takumi: I'm not sure, I'm so confused, I can't understand anything

Kenta : Anyway, we will look at these in more detail, but for now, how is the AI ?

Takumi: Right now, I have designed a wristband for both of us. These wristbands are connected to the computer in front of me, and the computer has an artificial intelligence. I haven't decided on its name or commands yet, but it has a few features. I plan to use it not for research purposes, but for fighting.

Kenta: That's great, it may help us to gather information about the rift or even make us stand out in battles.

After a deep conversation and uncertainties, the duo had gone to sleep and hours later, it was morning and they went back to the usual meeting spots at school and started discussing yesterday's topic.

Hikari : Did you at least find anything?

Takumi put the photos on the table and opened the book next to it.

Takumi : In one of the photos, our family is in contact with the monsters, we don't know if they are fighting or getting along. I couldn't find anything in the book. Also in the other photo there is someone very similar to me and according to the book, I am standing against a horde of monsters.

Kenshin: It's definitely you, stance, looks, height etc all match

Takumi : We know, actually.. you scare me a little bit when you say my height Kenshin

Hikari: Did you find anything in the book from the texts in different texts and languages?

Takumi: No, but (as Takumi lifted his arm up slightly, his wristband jumped up on the table and transformed into a robot with wheels) I've invented something like this, and I think it could help us find it more easily.

Hikari : That's... That's great... so what is this?

Takenta : Hi Hikari my name is Takenta you can call me Ta or Ken for short I am a Magical AI

Takumi : We combined our two names and named it like this, this is our new friend, it's the same in Kenta and he can help us in everything, he can also become great and fight or help us in war

Kenshin: Artificial intelligence? very useful but weak

Takumi : Don't worry, even though Kenta didn't want to, we gave some of our powers, so if you look at it, it's strong enough to beat you, actually maybe it can beat us too, we don't know its full strength.

Hikari: Amazing! But will he really be able to fight for us?

Takumi: He can totally fight. When we encounter any enemy, he will go to the battlefield and assist us. Of course, their strength is limited, but they can still give us a great advantage.

Kenta : Also, he can provide us with any information we want. If there is anything we can't find in the book, we can ask for help.

Hikari : So how do we command?

Takumi : He can move a little on his own right now, but if you want to give commands you can try straight talk

At that time, news of a new rift comes in and Kenta gathers everyone and goes to the place where the rift was formed.

Takumi: "What is this? A rift again?

Kenta: "The monsters are coming again!

Hikari: "Okay, but first we have to plan what we're going to do. These monsters are so powerful, we don't want to be caught off guard."

Takenta: "Based on my analysis, monsters have weak spots. While you attack, I can scan for their weak spots."

Takumi and Kenta had set out to attack the Monsters together, the number of monsters coming out of the rift was huge and they were going to lose in a one-on-one battle, Takumi and Kenta drew their swords of Determination and Kensha was preparing to claw his hands and jump into the monsters.

Kenshin : Hikari play on me, kumi and Kenta you plan to destroy them all

Kenta turned angrily.

Kenta: Don't do what I'm thinking.

Kenshin: Too Late

Kenshin went back to his mad form and jumped into the monster herd, Hikari was healing him while killing monsters one by one, after a while the monsters multiplied and Kenshi was not strong enough, after a while the monsters swooped on Kenshi and knocked him down, they were all jumping on him for a while, there was no sound from Kenshi, everyone was in a hurry. while looking

Kenta: Let's go Takumi, it's our time.

When Takumi was about to stop Kenta, a light from the place where Kenshin had fallen rose towards the sky. After a few seconds, Kenshin's eyes were covered in blood and he began to cut everyone in the army of monsters like crazy. Takumi and Kenta tied each other's index fingers with a rope and drew a circle around the monsters. Then they tied the rope to their swords and hit the ground. When Kenshin left the field, a huge explosion occurred in the area. Almost no monster survived in this big explosion, but one or two managed to escape and were trying to run back through the rift. Seeing this, Kenta chased after the monsters, and while Takumi was shouting for him to stop, he realized that he wouldn't stop and everyone followed Kenta. Kenta had lost himself while chasing the monsters and had gone into the rift with them. The monster quickly escaped, and Kenta looked around, not understanding where he was. Takumi, Hikari, and Kenshin were shouting towards Kenta, but they also entered the portal without realizing it. Then the portal closed. Everyone had fallen on top of each other and as they looked at each other in surprise, Kenta saw the beast again and was on his way to attack, while the others were watching them in surprise, Kenta had jumped on the monster and dropped it, just as he was going to kill the monster, the city was looking in front of him in amazement and his eyes were wide open with fear as he was about to open his shield to protect himself, a crystal came very quickly he pierced the Kenta's chest and expelled his soul, while Takumi was about to scream for the Kenta, Kenshin covered Takumi's mouth with his hand to avoid being noticed, and laid her on the ground. Takumi was starting to cry silently, Hikari and Kenshin didn't know what to say in surprise.
