As the group stood amidst the crumbling remains of the castle, Misaki's voice broke the tense silence. "There is no time left. We have to leave this planet."
Old Man Kapil, still catching his breath from the recent battle, turned to her with concern. "Why? What's going on?"
Misaki's expression was grave. "Akhil destroyed the planet's limit chain. Without it, the planet is vulnerable. I don't know how long we have, but we can't stay here. We need to go to the nearest planet, where my clan members live."
Kofi, who was still reeling from Akhil's sudden disappearance, shook his head. "Akhil is gone. I can't leave him behind. I have to find him. I'm staying here."
Misaki placed a comforting hand on Kofi's shoulder. "Don't worry, Kofi. I believe Akhil will survive. But right now, we have to go. Come closer to me."
Reluctantly, Kofi, along with Old Man Kapil and Henry, gathered around Misaki. She closed her eyes and softly uttered, "Sasa."
In an instant, a shimmering bubble of energy enveloped them. The ground beneath their feet seemed to dissolve as they began to float upwards, leaving the planet's surface behind.
Henry, ever curious, asked, "What is this?"
Misaki's eyes remained focused as she guided the bubble through the atmosphere. "This is my clan's power—Sasa."
Kofi, still struggling to comprehend everything that had happened, looked at her with confusion. "Sasa?"
Misaki nodded, a somber expression crossing her face. "Yes, and it's time to reveal the secret I've kept from you for so long."
Kofi's confusion deepened. "Secret? What are you talking about?"
Misaki took a deep breath, her voice trembling slightly. "Kofi, you are a member of the Sasa Clan. You are the son of Lex and Elisha."
Kofi stared at her, his mind racing to make sense of her words. "I don't understand. What do you mean?"
Misaki's gaze softened as she looked at him, a mix of sadness and resolve in her eyes. "I am your mother's younger sister, Kofi. You are not from Earth. You were sent there to protect you from the dangers of our world."
Old Man Kapil, always the one to see the broader picture, spoke up. "Then Kofi doesn't belong to Earth at all?"
Misaki nodded solemnly. "Yes. Kofi is not of Earth. He is of the Sasa Clan, just like me. And there's something else you need to know—Ashura is not dead yet."
The weight of her words hung in the air like a storm cloud. Kofi, Old Man Kapil, and Henry all looked at her in shock.
"No way," Kofi muttered, disbelief coloring his tone. "Lord Pyro destroyed his soul. I saw it happen."
Misaki shook her head, her voice firm. "You don't understand how powerful Ashura truly was. His essence, his will—he cannot be destroyed so easily. He is the reason you spent your childhood on Earth, far from your true home."
Kofi felt a whirlwind of emotions swirling inside him—anger, confusion, fear, and a sense of betrayal. Everything he thought he knew about his past was unraveling before him.
"But why?" Kofi asked, his voice breaking slightly. "Why didn't anyone tell me?"
Misaki sighed, her eyes filled with sorrow. "It was for your safety, Kofi. The Sasa Clan was being hunted, and your parents made the ultimate sacrifice to keep you hidden. They sent you to Earth to give you a chance to live, away from Ashura's reach. But now, it seems that fate has brought you back to where it all began."
As they drifted through space towards the nearest planet, the gravity of Misaki's words began to sink in. Kofi was no ordinary boy from Earth. He was part of an ancient lineage, tied to a powerful clan and a dark legacy that he was only now beginning to understand.
Old Man Kapil, sensing the turmoil in Kofi, placed a reassuring hand on his shoulder. "We're with you, Kofi. Whatever happens next, you won't face it alone."
Kofi nodded, though his mind was still a whirlwind of thoughts. He looked out into the vastness of space, knowing that the path ahead was fraught with danger and uncertainty. But with the truth now out in the open, there was no turning back.
As they approached their destination, the bubble surrounding them began to dissolve, and the familiar sight of a distant planet loomed ahead. Misaki looked at Kofi one last time before they landed. "This is where our journey truly begins, Kofi. Are you ready?"
Kofi clenched his fists, determination burning in his eyes. "I am."
With that, they touched down on the new planet, ready to face whatever awaited them, and knowing that the fight against Ashura was far from over.
