Day 18

The situation was intense, and our desire to kill him had become evident. We attacked at the same moment. He didn't expect us to be this strong. We surrounded him with force, but despite that, he opened small gates, passing his hands through them and attacking us. We took some hits. It seems Loki got injured in her right shoulder. At that moment, I noticed a small eye on the creature's back. I realized this creature was fake and we had been deceived. Nevertheless, we continued our attack after I told them to target the eye on its back. Zano stabbed the eye, and we managed to get the key. This seemed like a kind of victory. I took the key and didn't tell everyone that this creature was just an imitation and not even half as strong as the original. I returned to my room after treating Loki. Everyone was happy. I took out the original box and the key we had taken. This was the moment of truth. Now I would discover what this box does, how it works, and its significance to the Mojo and the creature with the eyes. It felt like time had stopped. There was an eerie silence in my room. I felt a chill all over my body. As soon as I inserted the key into the box, it began to open like a spaceship, releasing gray smoke. This is strange. I didn't expect this to be inside the box. It's the tablet. It really is—the Dojo's tablet. I felt like I had solved the puzzle. I understood why everyone wanted it, especially the creature with the eyes. He had managed to obtain the cause of our planet's destruction, and I would stop him. It was all over—or so I thought. The tablet contained a cosmic map that could drain the energy of any designated planet until it exploded. I saw our planet among the 20 being drained and canceled the process. But what puzzled me was that the drained energy didn't go to the tablet. It seemed there was a receiver somewhere, which was not good news. I had to find out where the extracted energy had been going all these years. Now, I felt relieved that our planet was out of danger, but there was still a threat looming. I had avoided one crisis, but I needed to ensure we wouldn't face any future dangers. First, I would hide the tablet in a hard-to-reach place. I thought of several locations and finally decided to hide it in my school locker. I don't think anyone would suspect that spot. After hiding the tablet, I contacted Loki, Zano, and Naro, wanting to meet them, but I wouldn't tell them that I had saved our planet and prevented an explosion. If they knew, they wouldn't help me with my plans, and that's not what I wanted. There was much to do to prevent any danger to our planet. I tasked the group with increasing our numbers. During our battle, I noticed we were at a disadvantage in terms of numbers. With Loki, Zano, and Naro handling the search for new members, I would go to the other world to find the receiver of the energy the creature had been collecting. I wanted to seize it; it would help us fight both the creature and the Mojo. On my way home, I stopped by my mom's shop and helped her. I missed these days. They were truly warm days without the heavy burden of saving the world. While at the restaurant, I felt something was wrong. Things were too quiet. I turned around and noticed a small eye like the ones all the creatures we faced in the other world had. I was shocked. How did it get here? Was I imagining it? It seems the creature with the eyes managed to send his eyes to this world. I hope it didn't see me hiding the tablet. I approached the eye and popped it with a cooking fork. This is strange. I must return to the other world and see what's happening.
