Hikari did agree with what did Ardia said. He knows that there will always be something wrong with this world.
But to think of the end of the world. Will all of them finally be happy? Is it really a place to which all of them belong? Did Ardia know where and what is that place is? But to ask such a question, it might be weird. Because of Hikari, I have explored a lot of the world before. Even the world is where the dead are. It was the time when he asked for everyone there for help to join a force and save the world together. But all he can do is just call them for a while and help them out.
(If you read Hitaku Quest - The Land of Promises - you will find this scene. It was a scene in which Hikari gained a power named 'The Returns' on which he revived everyone who was dead at once to help them wipe the Dark World army.)
But for Hikari, that place doesn't feel like it is really a place that looks fun and good for him. It was all dark and nothing fun was there. But to ask that, Ardia is just someone who lives inside of Quantum Memory. So Hikari didn't think that she might know anything about that.
But as for someone small like her, Hikari thinks that Ardia was really smart. Her words are also nice. To see how close she is with Aikari. Doesn't it feel better if she were here with Aikari now?
As when did Hikari just thought about that, Ardia then smiled and said, "I'm sure you know that I'm... I no longer exist in the world that Aikari exists. Or to say it... I'm dead." Hikari knows from what did he just saw. But he couldn't believe that Ardia would even know it. He then nods slowly and smiles back. Just as from the flash of Aikari's memory, he knows a lot of things about Aikari.
He wasn't sure how to put it, but in Aikari's life, he did meet with a lot of strong people. Maybe he carries each of their strengths to his life to become as strong as he is now.
"CLING!"
"TANG!"
Aikari is now pushing himself towards the creature that he is fighting as that creature is out of move and tricks.
Aikari kept on pushing but then suddenly the creature moved just become quickly, and he was about to attack Aikari. But the Nefier's side grew and blocked the attack. Then Aikari could hear Andrius's voice.
"You unknown creature. Just what are you planning to do to this world?"
As soon as the creature heard Andrius' voice, it then giggled and stepped away from Aikari. He looked at Nefier on Aikari's hand and said.
"So, you are awake? You're talking like I care about a trash like you."
That creature dropped down and it then slowly walked towards Aikari while asking, "Hey, what are you trying to achieve in this world? And why did he choose you?" Aikari then just held Nefier straight and replied, "I don't know. But I want to protect. As long as I can still stand" That creature stopped walking and then looked at Nefier on Aikari's hand.
"So, you already chose someone worthy. I wonder what he is capable of. But our battle does not end here. Even if it is the end of everything. I will definitely destroy you."
All of a sudden, that creature dashed towards Aikari at a speed that no one could even see. Everyone was so shocked as they saw that but luckily, Nefier's side moved and protected Aikari from that attack.
"PANG!"
As Nefier blocked the attack, Andrius then began to talk with that creature in a voice that he did not question anything. But it's more like it was angry at something. Andrius asked that creature, "For someone who was able to cross a lot of dimensions. You really are something, do you? What kind of thing are you trying to plot here?" That creature then backed off for a while and then continued to fight with Aikari.
Aikari did parry all of his attacks and attacked him. Meanwhile, Andrius is talking to it. He was hearing about everything because of he wanted to know the truth about it. What is going on between the worlds recently and what is the truth?
That creature then uses one of his moves that caused Aikari to not be able to move. Aikari could feel that his body was unable to move and he doesn't know why.
Then the creature quickly charged at him once again and with a speed of light, it hit Aikari's body. A bloodshot came out of Aikari's mouth and the creature then screamed and said, "What a surprise, if only I aimed it right on your heart. Everything should have ended." Aikari then pulled himself, and he then moved his hand and pulled it up. He turned the sword towards the creature's neck and stabbed it.
The creature then pulled itself and then continued its attack on Aikari. But with such injuries, Aikari wasn't able to keep up with each attack too much. But he just keeps on fighting.
As he was fighting, he couldn't even feel a pain anymore. But he just keeps on fighting. Hoping that it will bring up a result.
"HARGH!"
"CHING!"
"SPLAT!"
With the ability that the creature has, Aikari didn't think that he was able to beat him, but he just kept his best. He continued to fight and then he kicked those creatures away and somehow he could see that his blood was all spilling to the ground.
"This is... Not yet.."
Aikari looked at that creature and was ready for more of its attack. But then, Nefier's side wraps around his arm and Andrius says, "His ability just overcomes us. But that doesn't mean his will is. I know how strong you are. So show me, everything that you got." Aikari smiled and replied "If that's what could entertain you then."
Aikari, even in his injured state, then charged towards the creature, and they then began to clash with each other. But this time, that creature could see that Aikari's strength is a little bit stronger than before. But with all his reflexes, he was able to combine it together.
That creature was still able to hit Aikari, but it all feels like it doesn't matter anymore. Aikari just continued to hit at him with all his strength. But as Aikari continued to fight, that creature could feel that Aikari's movement began to get normal and that was when he realized that Aikari's body was being healed. But with whom?
That monster used all of his tricks, but none of his tricks was able to be cast. It was all just making it weird. But with his strength he just continued to fight.
"CLANG!"
"CHING!"
Just for a second, that creature then saw Hikari, who was looking at them, looking at him with a smile as he thought that they could win. That creature just couldn't believe it and it then moved quickly and dashed towards Hikari as he knew that all of that trick was actually coming from Hikari.
"CLANG!"
But as its weapon hit Hikari, it doesn't even go through Hikari. He was so shocked by it. But then it feels something go through his chest. That monster just jammed into that, and he then saw Hikari's left arm, just formed into something like a sword and had gone through his body. That monster just couldn't believe it. He then pulled himself and flew to the sky.
He stayed up there for a while and he looked at both Hikari and Aikari. As he looked towards the two persons, he could feel something from the both of them. But that feeling didn't scare him, but instead he smiled. The creature saw that the damage on Aikari's body began to heal up. So he didn't think that he could win, but looking at Aikari, he didn't think that Aikari would survive another strike if he attacked Aikari again.
Then at that time, all of them who were there could sense an enormous energy coming from the creature. It makes all of them to get shocked by it. But Hikari then just stood still there and didn't do anything. Because of he didn't really think that creature could even do anything to any of them.
The creature's weapon began to glow, and it then quickly dashed towards Aikari to finish him off, but as the time passed towards Aikari, his power slowly disappeared and his movement began to get slower, so with that, Aikari then held his sword towards that creature's face and attacked it.
"SCRAK!"
Aikari's sword goes through that creature's head, but it's more to the left side. That creature didn't shout nor say anything. It then somehow was able to pull itself from Aikari's sword and all of them could see a crack on it's face.
Aikari did try to pull that creature using Nefier's side. But somehow, he can't. It seems like Andrius is not responding to it. But that creature flew to the sky again and he then says.
"This battle today is really good. It was something that I haven't felt for a long time, thanks for entertaining me. But, the curtain is not yet to be raised. The curtain that will open the absolute ending of everything."
That creature could feel that Hikari was going to attack him, so it then escaped before anything worse was going to happen. As it disappeared, Aikari and Hikari then began to think of the reason why it was there. But as they were thinking about it,, Ardia then stepped forward and she then asked both of Aikari and Hikari.
"Could it be possible that he was seeking for something?"
As Hikari and Aikari heard that, it just made them think that it was impossible. But as for some reason, it could be it. So Aikari then asked Ardia if she knew anything about it. However, Ardia shook her head and said that she doesn't know about it. But she didn't think that the creature would come to there out of nowhere just to fight Hikari and Aikari. There must be something that it wants, but she wasn't sure what it is.
Aikari began to think the same as Ardia. As Hikari is also processing it. But that thing happened just too quickly. So he just wasn't sure. But to understand that creature, it doesn't seem wrong. Maybe they need to do something about it.
But it was all too late for the conversation. It seems like that creature wanted something from Aikari. But they just weren't sure what that is. Because it has been targeting Aikari all this time.
Did it have something to do with Aikari? Hikari is trying to ask Aikari about that to make sure of it.
"Hey, did you know anything about it, Aikari?"
Hikari asked Aikari about that. But that question just made Aikari pause for a while and he wasn't sure what to say. Until Ardia goes to him and calms him down by saying that it's okay to just tell them anything he knows. Because it might be a clue of everything that is happening now.
Aikari got it but he wasn't really sure if it was true or not. Because of there are just some things that he wasn't be able to remember much. It just feels weird. It feels like his memory has been limited by something.
It was weird to say that, but that was what that is happening right now. Maybe there's something that he has forgotten there, but he wasn't sure what it is. Is there something that is limiting his memory? Aikari was so weird because of that, and he then began to think about it.
Are there even machines that were able to manipulate someone's memory? As Aikari was thinking about that, he then remembered something and he then quickly looked at Hikari and Ardia, then asked himself.
"Was there even a world on where a people could create a world that they desired? If that happens so, then who makes a wish to live in this kind of world?"
