"Immortal's territory? What do you mean by that?" Kichu asked Texa, narrowing his eyes.
Texa replied calmly, "The wormhole transported you to the other side of the universe. Then the planet Gadha briefly teleported near the Eternal Empire."
Roco smirked, leaning back. "So, we're dangerously close to one of the Devils, huh?"
Kichu grinned, a fire of determination igniting in his eyes. "I never thought I'd get here this quickly. Time to save my friends."
Roco raised a skeptical eyebrow. "Kichu, isn't that a bit reckless? We're talking about a Devil-the most powerful being in the universe."
"I know," Kichu replied firmly. "But we have to land there. If there's even a hint about my friends, we need to find it."
"Yeah... I guess we have no choice," Roco sighed.
Kichu guided the spaceship down to the shadowy planet of Dark-93. They carefully disembarked, scanning the eerily quiet surroundings.
"Why is it so empty?" Kichu muttered as they walked ahead. Soon, a massive wall loomed before them.
"Time to jump," Kichu declared, vaulting over the barrier with ease. Roco followed-but another figure unexpectedly landed beside them.
"That was quite the leap, wasn't it?" the stranger remarked casually, brushing dust off his cloak.
"Yeah... Wait, who the hell are you?" Kichu immediately drew his sword.
The man chuckled, raising his hands in mock surrender. "Relax, I'm just like you. A traveler."
"Hey! Don't ignore me!" Kichu snapped, stepping closer. Suddenly, an arrow thudded into the ground between them. Armed figures emerged from the shadows, weapons drawn.
"Great. Fight time!" Kichu smirked, charging in with his sword. Roco activated his elementia, fusing water with his guns to dispatch several attackers. Amidst the chaos, Kichu noticed the mysterious stranger standing still as attackers closed in on him.
"Need a hand, old man?" Kichu taunted, slashing through another enemy.
The stranger appeared beside him in the blink of an eye. "Are you talking to me?" he asked coolly.
Kichu froze. "How did you...?"
"Rumor has it the city is just a few steps away," the stranger said, already walking ahead. "Coming?"
"Who are you?" Kichu demanded, jogging to catch up.
"Oh, my bad. I'm Alex. Just a traveler. Heard there's a lot to see around here," he replied with a grin.
"Traveler, huh?" Kichu eyed the massive staff on Alex's back. "And what's with that stick?"
Alex shrugged. "Self-defense. Lots of bad guys out here. Now, what about you? Got a name?"
Kichu hesitated before motioning to Roco. "Hold on. Hey, Roco. What do you think?"
Roco frowned. "He seems harmless... for now. We can trust him until we get to the city."
"Fine," Kichu relented, turning to Alex. "I'm Kichu. This is Roco. Let's move."
Alex tilted his head, studying Kichu. "Kichu, huh? You from Earth?"
"Yeah. Why?"
Alex chuckled. "Fate sure is funny. Never thought I'd meet you here."
Kichu narrowed his eyes. "Do I know you?"
"Nope," Alex said quickly. "Let's keep moving."
They reached the city's gates, where Alex turned. "Well, this is where I part ways. Sightseeing calls."
