In the heart of the city, a black portal began opening underground.
"I knew it. It's not over yet," Faria exclaimed.
Tamim, looking at the city, saw nothing and asked, "What?"
"There's something coming from underground—a black substance that the entity produced," Faria said, preparing to fly towards it.
Tamim, seeing Faria's determined movement, interjected, "Are you crazy? Your face is exposed. You can't go there; your identity will be revealed."
Ignoring Tamim, Faria activated her portal power, swapping her white fabric for a concealing costume that hides her Identity
The white fabric fell to the ground beside Tamim.
Faria soares towards the city.
Tamim pondered, "What did she actually see?" His attention shifted to the unstitched fabric on the ground.
He picked it up and noted there were no darts in it.
"I woke up first from unconsciousness, remembering I was wearing the costume I found in Dad's lab. Then who changed my costume? Also, both Faria's and my costume is made of this white unstitched fabric. It covers the entire body, leaving only the head visible and hair ," Tamim mused.
Tamim examined the fabric, observing its cleanliness.
While scrutinizing the costume with X-ray vision, he noticed spiritual energy within it.
"What's this? It's not normal," Tamim muttered to himself, gazing at the fabric.
With his X-ray vision still activated, he looked towards the city and saw a monster emerging from a black portal. The army fired at it with guns, and Faria flew towards the scene.
Faria reached the spot where the dark monster had just spawned. The police continued firing at the monster, but their bullets were being absorbed.
Suddenly, the monster's tentacle grabbed hold of an army soldier's leg. Faria swiftly flew in, breaking the entity's grip and carrying the injured soldier to safety.
However, she was then ensnared by the monster's tentacles herself.
Faria managed to push the army soldier to safety, but the soldier's scream distracted her, and she was almost pulled back into the monster's grasp.
Meanwhile, helicopters swarmed overhead, filming the chaotic scene.
"What's that? It's... it's flying," one of the army soldiers exclaimed looking at Faria.
"I don't know, but don't shoot," another responded.
Faria continued to dodge the monster's attacks, thinking to herself, "It's the same energy as the entity, but it feels different. It's not just energy; it's the same aura."
Using her X-ray vision, Faria saw through the monster and noticed a brain-like object inside, with numerous veins connecting to other parts.
"I can see through it, unlike the entity. It's clearly not the same entity but emits the same aura," Faria realized.
Suddenly, the reporter's helicopter malfunctioned.
"What the... What happened? How did it break?" the bewildered reporter exclaimed.
Faria attempted to use her portal ability beneath the monster, but it failed to open.
"Why didn't it open? This is just like when I tried to use it against the entity," she thought, frustrated.
The monster began expanding and trapping nearby soldiers with its elongated body.
"Stay away from this!" Faria warned the soldiers.
Ignoring her warning, an army soldier fired a missile at the monster, causing it to swallow the missile whole and grow larger.
"Oh no!" Faria exclaimed as the trapped soldiers suddenly teleported to a safe distance.
Observing the chaos, Faria spotted Tamim wrapped in the white fabric.
"You're not equipped to fight," Tamim said to Faria before teleporting in front of the monster and attempting to punch it. The monster retaliated by pulling Tamim inside itself, but Tamim managed to teleport outside.
"Don't rush into battle without analyzing! There's a brain-like object inside. If we can retrieve it, we might defeat the monster," Faria shouted to Tamim.
Tamim used his X-ray vision to confirm Faria's observation. "I see," he said.
However, when Tamim tried to use his teleportation power to extract the brain-like object, he found it was resistant to his abilities.
"It seems our powers won't work on this monster," Tamim concluded.
Faria, contemplating the situation, realized, "If I can fly or run fast enough to retrieve the brain, there might be a chance. But I must be cautious. If I get trapped inside, my portal ability won't help me escape."
Just then, another missile launched unexpectedly.
"What the? I didn't fire that!" the startled army soldier exclaimed.
"I told you not to press the trigger twice, idiot," another soldier chided.
The missile hurtled towards Tamim at full speed. With quick reflexes, Tamim teleported in front of it and punched, causing it to explode. Surprisingly, Tamim and his clothes were unscathed by the blast.
Tamim looked at his outfit with surprise. "Yeah, just as I thought."
The monster's tentacles then snatched Tamim, but he swiftly teleported to safety.
Looking around, Tamim realized Faria was nowhere in sight. "Where did she go?" he wondered.
Suddenly, Tamim sensed something approaching from the air. He turned back to see Faria flying at an incredible speed.
"What is she trying to do?" Tamim thought, observing Faria's daring approach.
Faria crashed into the entity, and the black matter began to trap her inside the monster's body. Determined, Faria located a brain-like structure within the monster.
She grabbed it, but the resisting veins that covered the brain-like object tried to pull it back into place. The pressure from the black matter intensified, crushing Faria's body from all sides.
Struggling, Faria managed to rip the brain-like material out. The monster glitched, and its immense force crushed Faria further.
"Ah! It's too much pressure. I can't take it," Faria thought, feeling weak from the strain.
Summoning her strength, Faria flung the brain-like object outside the monster's body. Tamim, witnessing this, caught it.
"What's this?" Tamim wondered.
The brain-like object suddenly sprouted legs, slipped out of Tamim's grasp, and began running around.
"What the hell?" Tamim thought, teleporting in front of it to catch it, but it evaded him with its incredible speed.
Tamim struggled to keep up with the object's movements. "What am I supposed to do with this?" he pondered.
Looking at the monster that had consumed Faria, Tamim concluded, "I think this is part of the monster. I have to destroy it."
Using his X-ray vision to predict its movements,after a few failed attempts Tamim swiftly closed in, applying pressure to the object until it disintegrated. With its destruction, the monster's body exploded.
Faria emerged from the wreckage, falling to the ground.
Tamim rushed over to her. "Are you okay?"
Without answering, Faria created a portal beneath them and teleported them to the top of the mountain.
Witnessing the sudden teleportation, Tamim wore an annoyed expression and said, " Why do you always do that without asking me?..."
Suddenly, something fell from the sky behind Tamim at a distance.
Faria looked interjected, "Is that Fahim?"
Tamim turned and saw Fahim's body on the ground in the distance.
As Faria approached, she remarked, "He fell from the sky. What's he doing here?"
Fahim slowly opened his eyes, sat up, and greeted them, "Hi, guys. It was a bad landing, I guess."
"What?" Tamim exclaimed.
"It's a long story," Fahim replied with a sigh.
"We need to go, or else we'll be in trouble," Faria urged.
"What about the smell you mentioned earlier?" Tamim asked.
"It's gone after the creature exploded," Faria explained, conjuring a portal.
Tamim and Fahim were instantly teleported to an empty road.

Scene shifts -
In the shadows of trees, five indistinct figures were gathered, looking out toward Dakka 2 city.
"Oh wow, humanity has evolved a lot," remarked a male voice.
"Obviously, we're seeing Earth after a Deca Millennium," another male voice chimed in.
"So what's the plan? Are we just going to stand here and do nothing?" a female voice interjected.
"First, we need to understand how humans in this age operate, then we can take action," another male voice responded.

Meanwhile, at the rescue helicopter, which had landed in a large hospital field, panic and distress were palpable among the people.
Faisal was on a call amidst the chaos. The caller was a soldier stationed in the destroyed city.
Army: "Sir, it looks really bad. The entire place is like an empty plain."
Faisal: "Did you spot any survivors?"
Army: "Unfortunately not, no signs of life at all. It's all dust."
Faisal: "Any other information?"
Army: "Well, sir, a huge 8-foot monster suddenly appeared. It injured one of our soldiers, but then two individuals resembling humans arrived and defeated it."
Faisal: "Human-like? What do you mean?"
Army: "They looked human but were covered in costumes. They seemed like soul sorcerers, but their attire and concealed faces suggest otherwise."
Faisal: "Anything else?"
Army: "Not at the moment. I'll keep you posted if anything else happens."
Faisal ended the call and turned around to find Faria, now dressed in normal attire.
