? : Knock Knock! Who's there? ( Covering Kronii's eyes with both hands.)
Kronii: ( Chuckles) Very lovely, Fauna. But I don't fall for you this time. ( taking the hands off her face and turns back… toward Mumei
who is smiles manically at her.)
Kronii : Oh sh-!
[ Ouro Kronii has been ejected. ]
Gura: Since Kronii is kinda busy lately. Let me summarize the timeline instead. This event happened roughly six months before the event of
Holo ID, Think Space and CHAOS RISE arc.
In fact,it is a prequel of how Kaela met Sora and decided to travel to planet earth with her broken Excalibur and help stopping Sana's plan of
supernova our sun. Hope you guys enjoyed!
…
A set of information that may be useful later
1. The current planet Kaela is living has been frozen in ice age for more than ten thousands years. The civilizations there live in the similar
condition of ice elf ( Lamy's race.) but not exactly the same.
2. The planet's gravity is a bit stronger than planet earth. While Blacksmith( Kaela's race.) are comfortable with planet with gravity 2-3 times
stronger than planet's earth( compatible with our Jupiter). So, she is kinda tougher when compare with normal human.
But not in the same level as Noel's gravity race which tolerate the incredible density of the gravity in their planet ( more than 10 times
stronger than earth) so, human will have a lot of problem if they ever visit Kaela's original planet without protection suit.
( Tokino Sora is doing fine with electromagnetic field from her body. So, she doesn't feel any kind of different between this place and earth.)
3. ' Blacksmith' is the name of Kaela's race. While 'blacksmith' has the same meaning as in any English dictionary you will find.
These two words will being used in the story a lot. So, be prepared!
4. Tokino Sora ability to flying across the galaxies is not a normal standard of star people race. Most of them are being bound by the laws of
physics as any of us and couldn't travel surpass( or even at the) speed of light.
Or else Azki plan of trapping Suisei's army in the black hole during the event from ' The Last Star' will not working. ( Notice that Suisei
couldn't get out of the black hole on her own too after being kicked inside by Satan from the ' Suisei vs HoloX' arc.
Only after being rescued that she managed to flying faster than speed of light with a little bit of help from Moona.)
Moona also not good with flying that much too. She managed to traveling back in time only when cooperate with external power else
( Suisei {Suisei vs HoloX}, Amelia and Excalibur {Holo ID, Think Space and CHAOS RISE} )
Aki( Muki) Rosenthal aren't counted as star people since she is actually an Androids.
So, there are only three star people that can break the law of space and time. Which are Sora ( The closest of being a Mary Sue in this
universe ), Suisei and Moona ( needs help in doing so.)
5. Matsuri or God is the entity that being worship by civilizations couple of galaxies around our Milky Ways since the Era of IDOL.
While being ignored by people on planet earth. You could ask every random aliens in Pinwheel or Andromeda Galaxy and before long,
you will find one of her worshippers. ( If you remembered. During the ' Tale of Moon Goddess' arc. A spider king that supposed to be a
Hachama worshipper screaming Matsuri name before he will running away from Sora too. Meaning that the old god still having influence
despite a long time and new Galaxy that being formed.
So, treat the next Matsurisu you see with gentleness so that you will being treated the same way when the judgment come!

Caffeinee Addictus Planet : Nouh Mohee Slleeves Galaxy
Kaela Kovalskia
Kaela dropping firewood she carried from the nearby forest and sighed, the snowstorm has come early this year. And the wood she found are being buried in
the thick snows and become very hard to obtain.
Maybe Kaela will has to traded firewood with the city dwellers again if she couldn't collected enough for this season.
Especially when there's a mouth waited for being fed at home.
The planet she, her sister and daughter are currently lives is not a home for everyone. Due to the tilted of this planet and its sun.
The whole world is always frozen in the eternity of winters by human standard. Thought there are some time when it isn't that cold,
only -1 or -2 Celsius degrees with lot of sunlight and not much of a winds, making it become possible for forest to regrow and animal( Most are wooly
mammals and fluffy birds) to start thriving again.
Civilizations here is still a primitive one by Kaela's standards. They can match to medieval era human with a bit of different between them cultures.
Which is mean these people still building their house from stone. Creating their fuel from burning woods ( Kaela guilty at that too, since there aren't enough
plutonium on this planet's surface for Kaela to activated her family's nuclear power plants. And the fact that the trees here collected oils inside their trunks
make it easier to burned and become convenient for every one to used.) and riding animal as their fastest ways of traveling.
Kaela always travels to the nearest town( around 30 kilometers away from her home.) with her snowmobile and trading with the locals.
These people still haven't evolved much in art of crafting and science. So, a steel sword with only a bits of carbon is enough to impressed them and gaining
her place in their society. When she is not working, Kaela mused herself by imagine what they will feels if she start selling auto-lock missiles or projectile
laser with them.
But since she doesn't want their society to collapsed, Kaela decided to only building those things as her home defender.
While their not-so-advance technology prevent Kaela from buying any weapons or decorated items. These people are very good at living in the snowy planet
and having lots of things to teach and sell the outsider.
Kaela and her family probably couldn't last this long if the local didn't teach them how to collect the oil-filled woods from the frozen forest, taming Penguins
( These beasts are as big as two meters height. Similar to a prehistoric penguin that used to dwell in Antarctica during the Eocene era on human's planet.)
to dragging her carts, fishing on the icy lakes, putting a stone walls in the hole around her house to prevent snow shark( some sort of shark that learned how
to swim in the snow, but not dirt. So, Kaela has to dig until she could find the solid ground before start building walls. Luckily that the frontal part of her
families clothes[as the locals told them to.] is being painted in white and make the shark confused her with snow, helping them went undetected as the shark
swimming passed their house during the first few weeks of their living.) from getting in and many more knowledge that will help them survive the hardship
of this planet.
If things went south, like mismanagement of their supplies or something. Kovalskia family will traveling to the town and buying the necessary things like
foods and fuel from the local in exchange of the best quality of metalworks ( for these people.) they ever met.
The relationship between Kovalskia and this planet inhabitants last more than 500 years since they decided to park their spaceship here during the era of
Kaela's grandparents( Matsuri bless their souls!)
Right now, except for her sister. Kaela is the last Kovalskia 'Blacksmith' race alive. If they didn't married with somebody soon. The only ways for their
bloodline to continue is by cloning.
Kaela used to think about traveling again and searching for her people. But it's seems to not being a realistic option. More than four billions of years that the
Blacksmith, along with many interesting and unique civilizations has been wiped out during the ' Big Bang' that causing the era of stars. Kovalskia family
stumbles their ways toward the newly created universe somehow, but their numbers keep reducing horribly as the time passes.
If it there are no contact from any other Blacksmith clan for 4 billions of years. Kaela doubt that it would start from now on.
Carrying dozens of small logs with sack of beetroots and wild garlic on her back. Kaela approaching her house at last, took a deep breath and scanning the
sky for the wind stalkers( they are 8 meters long robber fly that will hunting during the 'summer' season. Somehow didn't being frozen by the special
chemicals inside their body. However during the coldest time of the year. The bug will sleep in the caves or burrows, waiting for the warmer time in order to
start their hunting again.) and found none.
For some stupid reason, wind stalker couldn't see black color even when it is being placed in the middle of white snow, probably because they had evolved to
relied on hunting the moving targets and has no need for seeing dark color or something.
But Kaela has learned from the local that wrapping your body in the black clothes and stay still is works like charm. Hence why her outfit have the black part
in the back area, to preventing one of these monsters from hovering at her from the sky.
Seeing that everything is alright. Kaela dropping her luggage and start calling for daughter and sister. " Ela! Ckia! Close the anti air units! I will gets in soon!"
" Yes!" It was Ckia, Kaela's sister. Who is answering.
While Kaela is waiting outside, she start observing her house's condition. Everything looks fine and in their place.
The main house that being built from bricks are as clean as ever. While the factory and warehouse that made from titanium are as good as new, releasing
white smoke as the engines and furnace inside are still working nonstop and melting the snow around the living area, making Kaela's home warm and can
growing up their own crops all year.
The machine that standing at the left side spinning nonstop as it is cleaning the snow around her house and turning it into a clear water.
These luxuries require energy, which is why Kaela has to traveling around and searching for wood to burns almost everyday.
For some reason, there aren't much of coal under this planet's surface even though she keep digging for it. Maybe the weather is too cold for plant and
animal to turning into oil or coal. That, or Kaela is just unlucky.
After she has counts number of firewood that laying next to the main furnaces. Kaela has to count again with a frown on her face.
She ordered Ela to collect some timbers as she is traveling to the town and there are multiple logs laying on the grounds near the fire.
But the numbers is not right, there are more than twelves massive logs standing in triangular shaped not too far from the house, definitely not being carried
here by Ela alone.
Since Blacksmith and their servants are many times stronger than human. It is not a surprise if Ela will be able to carrying two or three massive logs at
home. But twelve is too much even if three of Kovalskia family help each other carrying it at the same time, especially when Ckia's muscles is not fully grows
up yet.
That mean there is somebody helping them carried these logs, but who?
Kaela grips her hammer tightly as Ckia is running out of the front door. The girl looks like human child at age around 5-6 years old. Her red eyes are sparkling
and telling Kaela that she is excited at something right now, which probably not the number of logs Ela can carried.
" What's happening here?" Blacksmith lowering herself and asked her sister.
" Sis! We have guest! She is coming from another planet!" Ckia almost yelling in excitement.
" Where's this 'guest' and Ela?" Kaela asked, hiding hammer from her sister eyes.
" They are cooking dinner in the kitchen! Can I help them too?" Ckia asked back.
" Sure, but I need you to looking for my anvil at the basement floors. Can you go and wait for me there?" Blacksmith stroking her little sister hair as she is
speaking.
" Okay!" The girl then running away, eager to please her big sis.
Kaela sighed, at least her sister will be safe for a moment, while she is talking with the stranger that intrudes her home and know what this is all about.
Kaela holding her hammer again and sneaking toward the kitchen, smells the boiling stews in the room and wondering if she is too paranoid.
The stranger has more than enough time to harm her family. But everything here seems to be as normal as possible.
She slowly open the door and seeing that Ela is cooking with something in the big pot and turning her back to the door.
The girl looks like a 12-13 years old version of Kaela with yellow hair and long limbs but they are not actually a cousin.
In fact, Ela is a robot that Kaela built to help taking care of Ckia and helps with her laundry. The Blacksmith race has advanced enough to creating a robot
with its own sentient, even if it is considered against the laws to creating a life without guild's permission. But since Kaela is the only remaining Blacksmith in
the universe for all she knows. Breaking the rule doesn't feel that bad.
Anyway, Kaela considered Ela as her 'daughter' since she is the one to giving birth to the girl and convinced everyone to acknowledge that as a fact.
She even tell Ckia to treat Ela like she is part of family members which her sister gladly did so. Though it creates an awkward question why niece looks older
than her aunt. But both Ela and Ckia seems to think it is funny more than anything.
" Ela." Kaela clear her throat, making her daughter flinched.
" Hi, mom! Welcome back! We are making a beetroot stew right now, coupled with smoked fish and grilled Matsurisu." Ela quickly said, seems to suddenly
embarrassed.
" Sound good. But do you want to talks about the guest Ckia has mention?" Kaela said sharply.
" I am sorry, but she helped me carry those firewoods. So I guess that it is a right manner to invited her for some tea and all." Ela looks nervous for some
reason.
" Yes, but where that person? I want to talk with them." Kaela sighed.
" She is… behind you." Ela's words make Kaela turn her head back and flinched when seeing that there is a stranger stands still and smiling at her like a
statue. She probably waiting for Kaela to notice her for a while now.
After walking backward for a few steps. Kaela finally calm herself down enough to investigate the newcomer inside this house.
She is a brown hair woman with light blue eyes. Her decorated blue clothes seems to gleaming with the fire from the grill that is cooking three Matsurisu
right now.
" Hi!" The girl said enthusiastically.
"…Hi…." Kaela said after falling in silence for a moment.
" My name is Tokino Sora! Nice to meet you!" The stranger quickly shaking her hands with Kaela, making Ela laughed.
" No, Sora. On this planet we do a greeting by chest bumps. Not swinging each other arms like that." Robot girl giggles.
" Oh, I see!" Sora ready to running into Kaela, who suddenly have a bad feeling and decide to stop her first. " Don't worry. Now that we've known each other.
Mind telling me why you want to visit our tiny home? I am sure there's a bigger town not too far away from here."
" Mom, you aren't believed it unless you are with me! She flying above my head while I was carrying one log toward our home.
At first I thought she was a 'wind stalker' but realized that the flying sound is different. Sora then asking me if I need some help? When I said I need to carry
more firewood. She just lifting it from my back as if it were a small stick! Before she will cutting more of those big tree with laser eyes and carrying them with
one hand! The coolest thing I ever seen in my life!" Ela energetically said, her eyes sparkling.
" Something like that happens, minus the cool part." Sora shrugged in embarrassment.
" Don't worry. She always find something cool in everybody she met." Kaela said and hanging the suddenly light and useless hammer on her clothes.
It is not going to be useful against someone who can lifted twelve massive logs with one arms.
Blacksmith then wearing her goggles and looks at Sora's body.
" If you will excuse me." She said, before start scanning Sora's body with her equipment.
" Sure! Whatever you want." Sora smiles again, increasing the temperature of grilled Matsurisu by shooting blue laser out of her eyes.
Kaela gasped at the information she gets. " You are the daughter of star!"
Sora tilted he head after hearing the words.
" Never heard about that, but my folks calling themselves star people. Is it the same thing?"
" I think it is." Kaela still gaping at the nuclear fusion core inside Tokino Sora's body. The girl in front of her is literally walking stellar objects.
How is that possible?
" May I asks how can you putting that inside your body?" Kaela questioned, lifting her goggles and staring at Sora's eyes.
Star people shrugged. " I don't know. I am one of the few last remaining of my people. It's just there when I was born. Beside, your daughter is quite
amazing too."
Sora smiled and Kaela immediately know that she can see through Ela's body, knowing that the girl is a living machine and probably seeing the tons of
nuclear reactors that she has put inside the girl as a power plant too. Enough to blowing everything in the radius of 100 miles around Kaela's house.
" Yes, she is." Blacksmith sighed. If Sora could see through the robot's anti-radiation shield she put in Ela's body. Then she probably seen everything she want
to in Kaela's house already. No need to be secretive right now.
" Why don't you join tonight's dinner? Ckia and Ela probably glad to having a visitor from another planet. I am bit of interested too if you won't mind sharing
news about the current situation of this universe.
" I will do my best!" Sora raising her arm, making Ela follows her movements energetically while Kaela excused herself to calling for Ckia to join them.
…
" So, you are from Milky Ways Galaxy and never heard of this planet or Blacksmith race before, what brought you here?" Kaela ask after sipping some
interstellar liquid called ' Kopi' that Sora brought from her planet as a gift. It's bitter but helping she awake at night, may be Kaela has to travels to this
'earth' and grabbing some for herself later.
" Yes, I just passed this Galaxy and decided to rest here for a bit. And checking local inhabitants too. How they live there lives and such. The universe never
failed to amazed me!" Sora said energetically, brushing Ckia's hair as the girl is sitting on her lap, while Ela is sitting very closely and putting a cup of hot pots
toward star people, clearly eager to impressed the guest from far away.
" So nice!" Ela sighed while Sora is sipping her soup. The robot never set foot anywhere out of this planet, let alone other galaxies.
" I can brought you to the moon and digging some irons if you want to." Kaela offers, she has her own spaceship but never bring it out of this solar system
since she has created it.
" I want to go farther than that!" Ela pouted. " One day I will travel among the stars like Sora, and helping those who need too!"
" I am sure you will." Sora smiled, rubbing the girl's head as she is leaning closer, Ckia begging for it too and making Sora busily pampering those twos.
She sure knows how to get along with children. Kaela admires grudgingly.
The hours passed with story of Sora's bizarre adventures. ( So, you died for 200 years but not actually dead, how? Did you punches big bad spider over the
horizon, falling from the outer space to planet's surface and flying out of the black hole by yourself but lose to a normal girl with onion head, why? Etc. Etc.)
continues.
There seems to be no end of it and when Ckia finally get sleepy. Kaela has to tell she and Ela to go to bed, while she and Sora will talking a little bit more.
" Bye!" Ckia waves happily as Sora is waving back while Ela is carrying the girl toward her room. Star people waves after them and remain smiling even after
they has disappeared for some time.
" You have good kids." Sora said, throwing some more firewood in the bonfire.
" They are." Kaela sighed before she will sipping another cup of coffee. Closing her eyes to enjoy the scents.
" Judging by your story. You and your family has nothing like this planet's inhabitants, in fact. You are hundreds of times more advanced than them.
May I asked why you are here? Instead of moving around? I am sure you spaceship could help you going far more than this Galaxy range." Sora asked,
cleaning the plate with beam from her fingers.
Kaela sighed. " If you want to asks what I have been hidden under the 500 floors basement. You must said it in the more direct ways."
Sora winks apologetically. " Sorry. I just happened to glanced down and seeing the enormous amount of star power flowing out of it, even after you had
covered it in the pool of lead. It is too strong to be a house power generator. No! More than the core of this planet itself."
Kaela groaned. " I guessed that there's no point in lying to you or anything. It is the reason why I cannot leave this planet.
The legendary sword that being crafted by our ancestors billions of years ago. The miracle maker, Excalibur."
To her surprised, Sora seemed to have no reaction to that name.
" Cool!" She said, and that's it. No screaming in agony or eye sparking with the greed of wanting to hold the weapons that could break the universe.
Just a slight smile of someone who the problem has been solves.
" Wait, your people don't know what Excalibur is anymore?" Kaela exclaimed.
Sora scratch her cheeks, clearly embarrassed. " Well, there's item in the game and legends about some king who holding it, but that's that."
Kaela groaned in disbelief. " What do kid nowadays learn in school! Excalibur is the sword that being created during the purging war that end IDOL era with
the Big Bang. Making from Melfissa, the mother of all metal that being converted into one sword. It could cut through even time and space itself."
" That's sound cool. Why don't you carry it around then?" Sora asked.
" The sword has been broken while it is creating the Big Bang. The blade part has been missing forever since then. But Kovalskia and the remaining of the
Blacksmith has keeping its handle with them, in fear that the sword might be in the hands of someone with bad intentions. In fact, after seeing the Big Bang.
Every survivor agrees that this sword shouldn't being used anymore.
So, we keeping it with us, in hope that it will being forgotten by everyone else in the universe." There, she said it, telling billions of years ago secret toward
somebody she met less than days. Kaela's ancestors is probably frowning at her right now but she didn't care, finally getting it off her chest is the best feeling
Kaela ever had in her life.
" Wow, that's..." Sora shook her head. Not sure of what to say
" Thank you. It has been since forever that someone finally listened to my story. My ancestors has been dying to protect this item from those who trying to
steal it. A time has passed and the Blacksmith are all being killed or die out. Leaving only Kovalskia as the last protector of this broken sword.
I, Ckia and Ela are the last of our kinds.
If it is possible I want the story of Excalibur to ending here with ours. When we dies, perhaps nobody will heard about the sword anymore.
Perhaps it could be rest here with us. Finally at peace after long years of being hunted."
" Sorry if this is a stupid question. But why don't you guys just melt it and… I don't know, crafting a kettle out of it or something?" Sora genuinely asked.
Blacksmith laughed. "It Isn't that easy, Melfissa are being contained with incredible amount of energy, shaping it into one sword is nothing short of miracle.
If we trying to melt it again, the bursts of energy that coming out might destroying the Galaxy or something. And the remaining of the sword is still there,
meaning that somebody can follow the explosion noise and taking the sword after we have been blow away by our stupidity. I cannot risk that."
Sora slowly get up. " This is the biggest secret I ever heard from someone, and you decided to throwing it to the stranger, are you mad?" She exclaimed.
Kaela sighed. " I knows. Maybe there's a drug in this ' kopi' or something." She gulped another thick, black liquid inside her mouth.
" This is enough for today. I think I will visit town and finding a place to rest. And you seem to need some sleep too." Sora said, clapping her hands and killing
the bonfire somehow. Kaela is too tired to asks. ( Sora get rid of the oxygen around the fire by clapping her hands. If you wonders.)
" You can laid in my house, you know?" Kaela offered, but Sora shaking her head.
" I don't need to sleep. And the power from the sword under your house is too much for me to just laying around near it. Seeing you tomorrow then."
" I will tell that to the kids." Kaela nodded.
" Good night." Sora said, slowly floating up until she is higher than 10 meters above Kaela's head before the girl will speeding up, disappearing within a few
seconds in the dark sky.
" Good night." Kaela said, before she will closing the house's front door.
