Chapter 14 - Chapter 13 - Uncanny Encounter

The IKET. The green entity with infinite knowledge, omniscience, its name stands for "I Know Every Thing" due to a lack of creativity. There is not a single thing throughout all infinite timelines that it doesn't know. The IKET is undefeatable but does not fight, its very existence contradicts existence, as it's considered as nonexistent. Should anyone try to actually fight it, they'd go right through it regardless of how powerful they are. Many seek out the IKET for answers of course, although the IKET is where the very boundaries of time, space, and dimensionality is rendered absolutely meaningless. Many days have passed since the tournament and everybody's warn out. Everything in the omniverse carried out as usual. Earth was at peace. But in Seygah's head, something particular lingered. He thinks about everything he's been through and wonders, "what am I?" Through sheer will— evolving and becoming more transcendent and powerful on a mere whim seems a little too convenient. Seygah lies on his bed in the apartment that Damian pays for. His hand resting over his face. "I need to go to the store." He says quietly to himself. He slowly gets up off his bed, grunting. He changes his clothes and heads outside, he's wearing a black shirt with a skull and blood design, and black baggy jeans, held up by two black pyramid studded belts. His iris is still red, his pupils being overlapping ovals, one oval sideways and one oval upright in both of his eyes. His hair is in a red vkei style. He stands out among the crowd, some people stare at his unique appearance, some admire it and some find it evil.

Seygah doesn't care about what others think knowing he can kill them in an instant but chooses not to. He also has black puppy eye liner. He likes black. Damian comes around the corner, he waves. Damian's wearing a black tank top with several chains, and less baggy jeans held up by a black and white tiled belt. He has messy black hair similar to a wolf cut but with an emo swoop. "Well, well! What two handsome emos or whatever you goobers are called" Kate exclaims as she smiles. She has pink messy hair going down to her shoulders, and wearing a Kuromi shirt and black tights. Seygah couldn't help but stare at her. Kate's cat ears twitch.

"So…where are the others?" Seygah asks. "They're off doing their own things. I do know Zachary's off fighting somewhere." Damian replies. There was a few seconds of awkward silence. "Are you two a thing or something?" Seygah suddenly asks. Damian hesitantly responds, "we're…n…no."

"We could be if he wasn't such a loser!" Kate laughs. Seygah then finds out that even a handsome, outgoing and powerful guy like Damian can fold under the pressure of a beautiful woman.

"So what are your plans, Seygah?" Damian quickly asks to change the subject. Seygah thinks for a second, his mind wanders. He remembers he was originally going to go to the store, but then he thinks of something else. "The IKET…"

"The IKET?"

"I have to find the IKET!"

Damian and Kate stare at him silently. "May we accompany you?" Damian asks eagerly. But Seygah shakes his head, "I have to go alone. Sorry!" He then flies off quickly. He's clearly still on edge. He travels around the planet in a rush to find any clues on the IKET, then he spots a massive temple with a carved crescent moon on the top of it. Far from civilization he enters the temple. It was dark and humid with ancient drawings carved into the walls. There were lots of mirrors which didn't make much sense. Seygah made it to the end of the large corridor and was greeted with an ancient codex on a lifted stone slab. He opens it, blowing dust off the pages. It was written in a language he doesn't know. All that he could comprehend were the depictions of the IKET. Green, four circles as eyes, a long neck, its appearance resembled that of a strangely built, lean mech. Other than depictions there was nothing else for Seygah to look at that would help. In his mind he knew there was only one thing he could do. He gets into a position, feet apart, legs bent, arms back, then leaps into space with a force so strong in only two seconds he already traveled hundreds of light years away from the galaxy. He flies. "Maybe if I break through dimensions I'll be able to see this IKET guy!" He slowly increases his speed, accelerating beyond the speed of light, 10x, 100x, 500x, 10,000x, 999,999x, 1,000,000,000x, and it keeps rising. His speed begins to unravel the universe, then it got to a point of no return. In zero time he can reach any distance. Then dimensions begin to crash open as if they served as gateways. Beyond time and space, traveling through higher dimensions. Then he realized he has no idea what he's doing.

With a deep sigh he heads back home. But on his way he is stopped by a portal that takes him outside of reality as he knows it. In this strange realm the rulers are nameless and totally distorted. One has a swirl for a face, one has scribbles covering their face, and the other is featureless. "What the—?! Who are you three?!" Seygah exclaims with urgency, his eye twitching.

"We"

"Are"

"Not"

"Who"

"We"

"Are"

"Abstraction"

They say in ominous unison, Seygah only stares. The one with the swirl for a face speaks up, "here in this empty realm…is a playground for us. In this realm we reign supreme…as omnipotent beings."

"Right," the one with the scribbled face says. "We know of you. Of your kind. Seygah…the Ones and The All One." Seygah blinks, not saying a word and only tilting his head implying confusion. "Don't act dumb…" the one with the featureless face growls. "You know exactly what we are talking about! And of course if we're correct…then you should win this battle no matter what!" Then they all lunge at Seygah. Their confident and cocky demeanors weren't total exaggerations. They displayed a high level of creation and manipulation of the battle and realm itself. "This casual reality manipulation isn't going to be enough to stop me buddy!"

"Call it what you want, say what you want! But fight back harder, kid! This is getting a bit boring…and irritating!" The one with the swirl for a face yells. All of their movements and attacks were extremely unsettling and all felt "off." The realm warped creepily. All of a sudden, Seygah feels a soft hand pressing into his shoulder and the person uses him to leap off of him and knock back the uncanny trio. "I-It's you!!" Seygah yells. "Heya~!" Kate smiles bubbly as she winks. "Who is this…girl?!" The one with the scribbled exclaims. "I'm Kate! What do you think you're doing to my pal, Seygah, hah?!"
