Just above mount Kreg , five flares shone brightly in the sky. It was the signal representing the commencement of the battle. No words were spoken as Lilith and Kevin nodded, already knowing what to do.
"Kevin!" Klein shouted right before they departed.
"Huh?".
"Do you miss us already?" Lilith asked.
"Are there people capable of missing you?" Kevin asked, damaging Lilith's pride.
"I need Kevin for a brief moment, head on first!"
"....sure." Lilith replied before looking at Kevin."You better hurry up! Or I might just beat Norm without you."
"I put high emphasis on might."Kevin said as he watched Lilith run towards the mountain.
Before he could ask Klein what he wanted, he felt a creature tugging at his jeans. Looking down, he noticed Kirby did not chase after Lilith but instead stayed back with him.
"Follow me!"Klein instructed.
Klein then removed a remote looking device from his pocket. Pressing a few buttons, Klein stepped back as a portal opened up right in front of him. Unlike most cartoons, the portal's color appeared to be blueish-black.
"Woah."Kevin said in amazement as he put his hand inside, then retracted it only to find himself not harmed in anyway.
"Next time you find something weird, I suggest you do not experiment with your body. This is a portal and I opened it using a dimensional traveller, which allows teleportation to different stations. Using this we can go anywhere that has a teleport station, even Haku village since they have one." Klein explained as he walked through the portal. His figure slowly faded away until he was completely gone.
' I guess it's my turn.'
Gripping the fox tightly in his arms, he slowly walked into the portal until eventually even his silhouette vanished. The feeling of being warped from one place to another was an odd feeling, sometimes it could cause addiction and in other cases vomiting.
Looking around the area, it was a completely dark room illuminated by a single bulb with two doors. The teleport station Klein spoke of seemed to be what Kevin was currently stepping on, it was white and no larger than a single human body.
"This is only a miniature teleport station! A larger one would never fit here, so only a single person would fit. That is why we must come one by one." Klein explained.
Klein walked towards the door on the right, opening it only to reveal another room. Meaning that the door he opened was an entrance to another room, leaving the other to probably be an exit.
Following along, Kevin could not help but be surprised. Seeing the content's of the room, Klein's intentions became a little clear to him.
"Wow!" Kevin muttered in a surprised voice.
"These are my collections!"Klein announced as he guided Kevin into a room harboring a variety of weapons."This room has different magical beast weapons. They are weapons made with the core of magical beasts, and just like them the weapon is stronger depending on it's grade."
Kevin was drooling at the sight of the weapons, he was no weapon master but the collection was enough to make any strong willed man a fanboy.
"Unfortunately, I have never fought a grade six magical beast." Klein said before he gave Kevin a tour of the small room."That is a spear I got from dimension xxvi, that from dimension I, and this from...."
"As I thought your really strong."Kevin said earning a thumbs up from Klein.
Chirp!
Kirby suddenly jumped from Kevin's arm, leaving to run around the room.
"So why did you bring me here? Surely not to brag right?"Kevin inquired.
"Among all these magical beasts, I have a few odd ones."
"Odd in which way?"
"Cursed. Cursed weapons, they are said to have souls and are picky about their users. They can also be pretty dangerous for the user."
"How dangerous?"
"They can possess a user in it's moment of despair, completely taking over his or her body."Klein explained" It refuses to accept me as a user, so I want to give it to anyone that passes it's requirements as long as they are not my enemy. Plus your my student you are within my requirements."
"You are going to make me blush." Kevin replied sarcastically."Why do you want to give your student a weapon that may or may not possess him."
"As long as you do not fall into a desperate fate everything will be fine, and it could help in the fight against Norm."
Listening to Klein, his first thought was that his teacher was extremely careless. But if it could help in his fight, he may as well do it. It was just another tool to aid him in acquiring his memories back.
"However that is only if she accepts you." Klein said pointing to a blue katana like sword which laid on a stand on the wall
' She?' Kevin thought before looking at the sword.
It shares some similarities to Angela's ice swords. However unlike hers, this katana had carvings on it's blade as well as a skull sculpted on it's hilt. It was far more detailed, if Klein had not said it was a weapon then he would have assumed it to be a decoration.
"It is called Asura."
"Asula?"
"No, Asura." Klein sighed as he face palmed himself."Try touching it and see if it reacts."
Nodding, Kevin carefully stretched his hand towards the blade. After hearing Klein's explanation, he was quite afraid of getting possessed because if he did Lilith's teasing will have no end.
"Umm... nothing is happ-"
Krrr! Like a broken engine, the sword began to vibrate, releasing a loud noise in the process. Kevin had to retract his hand to cover his ear, to block out the deafening noise.
'Like I thought, she could but reject Kevin because he is....'Klein's thought before Kevin called out.
"What's happening?"Kevin asked eventually letting go of his ears due to the sound stopping.
"It is probably saying it accepts you.... in it's own words. However, remember it has a soul and can consume your consciousness in an attempt to take over your body."
"Why are you doing this? You trained us and now you are giving me something like this. D-Did I know you before I lost my memories?"Kevin asked. To him, it did not seem logical. If Klein did not have a hidden goal then maybe, he was trying to aid him because they shared a bond in the past?
"What sort of logic is that? As I said before, I am just trying to create a strong faction."Klein said.
"Maybe I was just thinking too much."
Kevin hesitated a bit before he quickly grabbed the sword. As soon as he did, he felt a cold aura engulf his body as if he was being devoured. The feeling however, lasted only for a mere second before vanishing.
"I guess you were not possessed, haha."Klein nonchalantly"I guess Asura is yours now."
"Huh? Thanks I guess."Kevin said gripping the sword tightly.
"Maybe next time we see each other, you will be a swords man."Klein laughed.
"Anyways let me tell you now, every curse weapon has a unique ability and this one is...."
------------------------------------------------------------------------
Heading out through another portal, they arrived in a teleport station inside Klein's house. Before Kevin left, he requested Klein to judge a new attack he had developed in which he agreed. They chose the forest where they trained as a testing ground.
"Here I go."
Activating his magic, lightning surrounded Kevin as it began to take shape into a large creature. Eventually, even the frozen leaves began to burn.
"Impressive!"Klein said in an impressed tone."Launch it at me, let's test how strong you have gotten!"
BOOOM!
