Chapter 21

The Battle Finished; the World Destroyed



Knifes had been split in half by an unseen force and now Kynoto was sure that he was dead. As he limped towards the exit he turned around to pay his last respects, but instead he merely gawked. Knifes had indeed been split in had indeed been split in half, but the result was nothing of this world. There were now two Knifes; one was a Knifes with white symbols over his body, while the other had black ones. The aura of the white one was that same as the Knifes that had fought Kynotoishi, but the aura of the black one was the aura of the Knifes that he had just been fighting, but his power had been returned to normal. Kynoto stood in the room, looking from one Knifes to the other, waiting for the first blow to fall.

“This is an unforeseen event. You can call me Shin Knifes. Let’s see what you can do! Forbidden attack, Sword of Litilthim!” The black symbol Knifes said. A sword appeared, its silver blade stained with blood. Shin Knifes swooped in and viciously slashed at Knifes, who had not the time to defend himself, but as the sword pierced his skin, something about him changed. He materialized a sword and fended off Shin Knifes. “Well, it appears that we are the same. Good, this should be an interesting battle, wouldn’t you agree Kynoto?” Shin Knifes said, he had a grin on his face that made Kynoto wonder what he had planed. “Well your dead wrong! Even though we are both essentially Knifes, I am the evil side, the stronger side. Evil is stronger then good, Kynoto’s power as an Angel compared to his power as a Shadow Angel proves that.”

“It is the person, not the side, that chooses which side is stronger, Shin Knifes. I chose to become evil then, but I did it to do good, not evil,” Kynoto answered, his anger increasing.

“Oh come now Kynoto, you know that your power comes from your hate. Besides, you can’t fool me, I know your true desires,” Shin Knifes jeered as Kynoto gritted his teeth, trying to force his anger down. Shin Knifes smiled as he turned back to look at Knifes. When their eyes locked, the onslaught began. Punch after punch was thrown but they were all meet with the exact same force. Kynoto could not believe what he was witnessing. They were moving so fast now that Kynoto could not see them, but he could see the flash when their powers collided. When they came back into his view they were both breathing heavy and their knuckles were bleeding.

“Heh, interesting. I seriously thought that I would be stronger. Hmm…. try this on for size, I summon Mezrahi!!” Shin Knifes shouted as he slammed his palm into the ground, this created a hole in the ground about seventeen feet long by twenty-five feet wide. Then after a few seconds a dragon flew out of the hole. Kynoto got worried now, for this was no ordinary dragon, it was a dark dragon, the strongest breed. It let out a roar that shook the heavens as it descended on Knifes. He could not get out of the way of the dragons razor sharp talons, but somehow managed to fight the dragon off with his sword. The dragon let out another tremendous roar as it began to breath fire. Knifes dodged the first burst, and got singed by the second, but by the third he had created a water shield. This protected him from the dragons fire, but soon the dragon became aware of this. Dark dragons were the strongest of all dragons, but they were also the smartest and most cunning. It swooped in and shot a ball of fire at Knifes, who blocked it with the shield, but he did not see the dragon wheel around and dive straight for him. The water shield was far to weak to protect against the dragons talons and they slid through the shield as though it wasn’t there. The air was filled with his screams as the dragon tore at him with a savage strength. Then it stopped, all was silent until the dragon let out a roar louder then all the rest as if fell over backwards, it was dead.

“Haha! I forgot that summons have a time restriction on them. No matter, I wanted to kill him myself anyway,” Shin Knifes said, glee tainting his voice.

“Healing Mist!” Knifes gurgled, blood rushing from his open mouth. Even though he used a high level Grey Trianchu skill, some of his wounds did not heal completely. After this the onslaught resumed. This time Kynoto could see them but their attacks were much stronger. Each collision caused a small crater under the epicenter of the blow, even if they were in the upper reaches of the chamber.

“This place is to cramped, let’s go outside. Teleport skill!” Knifes said. This move transported the trio to a grassy field somewhere. “Now where were we?” Knifes asked rhetorically, “Ahh yes.” They went at it again and Kynoto still couldn’t keep up. The attacks were faster, stronger, and created orbs of energy appeared where their powers collided, destroying everything in their path. At one point ten minuets later, Kynoto saw twenty of these orbs at once, then all went quite for a while, and then two craters appeared to either side of Kynoto. When the dust cleared he saw that Shin Knifes was in the one to his right, while a crippled form, most likely Knifes, was in the one on his left. The one on the left was clutching his left arm, which was bleeding heavily. The wounds made by the dragon had reopened as well. As Kynoto looked to Shin Knifes, he noticed that he only had minor scratches.

“Well, let’s see what you do about this! Qcnn, psoc vc hefx yezcx! Jchxcg mggmht ek Qcnn; Jmxxez ek m Gqefimwa Acmgqi!” Shin Knifes said. The words were repeated from some where inside of him,

“Hell, give me your power! Secret attack of Hell; Sword of a Thousand Deaths!” Shin Knifes demonic aura increased tremendously and materialized as he powered up, bending the strength of Hell to his will. Shin Knifes pulled a sword out of a rift that had appeared in front of him. Kynoto had never seen this blade before, save once, a history book that depicted a battle scene in which that sword was slaying Triasha; it was the divine sword of the Hero of Light. How Shin Knifes had come into the possession of it, Kynoto could only guess. The sword had several bloodstains on its marvelous black blade, causing some of the golden ruins to appear red. The hilt was another interesting object. The hilt ballooned out to create a hand guard, while the main part of the hilt went down further and created another holding place. It had one other interesting object imbedded in the gold and silver hilt; Hell rubies, stones made from the hardened blood of Satan himself. These allowed the sword to access the power of hell. Shin Knifes let the heavy blade fall to the earth where it left a long scar. When he picked it up, he did so with one hand, the sword was a two handed weapon. He swung it around masterfully with a single had then set it in the air in front of him where it hovered for a moment before it rose high into the air where it multiplied into hundreds of swords. As the original moved, the rest followed. Kynoto saw where they were heading after a few seconds; Knifes. Luckily for Knifes, he saw them coming and casted an extremely high level Grey Trianchu spell just before they hit. When the dust cleared, Shin Knifes was dismayed to see that his attack had incurred no damage.

“What the Hell!?” Shin Knifes exclaimed.

“Heh, is that all the power Hell can conjure?” Knifes gloated as he let a little anger take control of him, their power levels were now equal. They went into another rampage, but this time Kynoto could see them, and he liked what he saw. Knifes was overpowering Shin Knifes now, pushing him back with each attack. Then, in an outburst of rage, he set a severe kick to Shin Knifes stomach that doubled him over in pain. Knifes strolled up to him and uppercutted him into the air and waited for him to reach the highest point that the last attack would allow and when it was reached, Knifes yelled, “Forbidden skill; Meteor Punch!” Knifes shot like a rocket up above Shin Knifes, where he hovered just above him. His hand glowed with a tremendous power as he sunk it into Shin Knifes back, nearly breaking his spine. Kynoto could feel the repercussions of the blow and he was amazed at the force of that attack. Kynoto saw the crippled form of Shin Knifes coming right at him. At first Kynoto had the idea to attack him, but he thought better of it and cleared away as fast as he could. As Shin Knifes hit the ground, he left a gigantic crater and caused the ground to crack and buckle as far as Kynoto could see. Shin Knifes had surly been killed by that attack. But then the unthinkable happened. Shin Knifes got up and brushed the dust off of his clothes and shook off his pain, he had cast no Grey Trianchu spells. Kynoto was mad; he had not attacked because he was sure that attack would have been enough to kill him.

“That was a very nice try Knifes… but it wasn’t good enough, heheh,” Shin Knifes sniggered, smirking quietly. Kynoto was dumbfounded. Not even he could have withstood that attack and yet Shin Knifes had gotten up and walked away from it with out the slightest sign of damage. “I underestimated you Knifes, but never again! This time I won’t hold back!! Forbidden attack; Hell Smasher!!” Shin Knifes yelled as he caught Knifes off guard and put him in a headlock. He began to spin vertically; faster and faster they went until they became blurred. Once he was going fast enough, Shin Knifes floated close to the ground and let go of Knifes. This cause another gigantic crater and the ground around it cracked and buckled again, creating a crisscross effect. Knifes staggered up, his arm appeared to be broken. The bone had gone through the skin. He looked up and said,

“Ouch, damn it that hurt,” He coughed up some blood after saying this.

“Well well well, still alive are we? Not for much longer I would hope. Why don’t we kick it up a notch eh Knifes? I do hope your ready Knifes, Cry of Cerberus!” Shin Knifes howled. Kynoto almost fell to his knees. This attack would surely kill Knifes if he could not stop it. It was a summoning spell that called upon a three-headed dog called Cerberus, the guardian of Hell’s Gate.

“Oh I don’t think so Shin Knifes!” Knifes said, staggering to stand straight. “Howl of Cerberus!” This caused Kynoto to spin around. He saw that one Cerberus had black symbols while the other had white ones, just as Knifes and Shin Knifes.

“Well, this is interesting, I have been split in two,” the Cerberus with the black symbols growled.

“It would appear so,” the white symbol Cerberus snarled. Then, simultaneously, both of the Cerberus’ used their finishing moves.

“Cerberus’s Howl of Purged Damnation!”

“Cerberus’s Cry of Purged Damnation!” The resulting shockwave sent everyone flying backwards. Rocks and dust were blown in every direction by the explosion; even some trees were ripped from the ground.

“Damn, it would appear that most of our summons are useless now. Since were split, so are the summons, how interesting. Well, I guess we will have to do this the old fashion way!” Shin Knifes yelled as they both ran at each other, their swords drawn. When they locked blades, Kynoto could feel the tension between the two. Soon the blades grew red hot from the extreme pressure that they were under and soon after they began to crack. The blades began to quiver and shake with pain as the cracks continued to form until the blades broke from the hilts, slashing both Knifes and Shin Knifes on their right temples as the blades spun off to the left and right. As blood tricked down the sides of their faces they said,

“Only human, Hidden Flame of the Northern Clan!” They used the same attack on each other, yet something was holding Knifes back. Knifes felt his skin burning, smelt it burning. It was somehow familiar, then he remembered his mother’s and sister’s screams. He remembered the night of the fire when he had tried to rescue them, the smell of their burning skin, and the smell that the fire put off; an almost toxic smell. To Shin Knifes it had looked like Knifes had passed out, but he had no idea. He heard Kynoto fall to the ground.

“What’s your problem, you knew that I would beat him,” he said, but then he realized that Kynoto was not looking at him but at Knifes. His hands were shaking. Shin Knifes had never seen Kynoto like this; he was terrified of something. He immediately turned to Knifes and saw what had made Kynoto like this. Knifes was awake again and his power was enormous. Shin Knifes did not have to sense it; he could see it. It was like Knifes was enclosed in a fiery bubble of power. “W-what the Hell. Where did all that power come from?!” Shin Knifes exclaimed.

“You! It was you all along!! You killed our parents, our brothers, our sister!!!” Knifes shouted, his voice was high and raspy now.

“W-what…. oh you mean the fire, yes that was me. While you were sleeping I came out for the first time in my life and I did some things that could not be known to anyone, so I destroyed the evidence,” Shin Knifes said with the same amused tone as when he killed Naomi. “Do you want to see?” Knifes mind was flooded by visions of his sister.

“You bastard!! You did that unforgivable act to my sister!!! I’ll kill you, I’m going to kill you if it is the last damn thing I do!” Knifes said, his power increasing dramatically, his voice was growing lower. Soon Shin Knifes realized his mistake when he tried to attack Knifes. He was blown away by a mere shove from Knifes. Knifes had let his anger take control of him completely now, letting it infect his soul, letting it invade his body, and throwing away his sanity he allowed it to take over him. Since he had no more evil in him, Shin Knifes had been separated, his power was staggering. Kynoto watched in amazement, he had never before witnessed such a power as this; a completely non-evil power infused with hate, a hate so great that the user would cast away his body to it. Kynoto wondered just what Knifes had seen, but it was his guess that it was something terribly enraging. Knifes appeared next to Shin Knifes and elbowed him into the ground. He was moving so fast that neither of the two could see him. He put his foot on top of Shin Knifes head and drove it into the ground, causing blood to seep through the cracks around the hole where his head was. “You God damn bastard! You made me kill all those villagers, thinking that they killed my family, when it was you all along!” Knifes yelled, as he kicked Shin Knifes into a mountain behind him. Shin Knifes stood up and coughed up some blood as he tried to regain what little advantage he had left. Knifes was completely out of control now, and his power was still increasing at a very high rate. Knifes rushed over to where Shin Knifes was and started to punch him in the stomach, each hit driving Shin Knifes further and further into the mountain side. Three minutes later Knifes laid a devastating seventy blows at once to Shin Knifes and this almost did him in. He fell to the ground, half unconscious and bleeding badly from his mouth and nose. Knifes was breathing heavily as sweat dripped from his brow. Knifes was about to start up his rampage again when he stopped. Shin Knifes took his chance and got up and away from Knifes. After he cast a Grey Trianchu spell he looked toward Knifes and said,

“What the Hell?!!” Kynoto wondered what was up and so he looked at Knifes, what he saw literally made his heart skip a beat. Knifes was hunched over muttering something while his power exploded upward with every second. The once greenish red colored power that surrounded him had now turned jet black. Then Kynoto felt another barrier appear inside of Knifes as an image of a demon appeared behind him. Kynoto was sure that it was a Hyper Demon; its eyes were a reddish gold color. As the image faded Kynoto felt the barrier explode open and Knifes power went up so high that Kynoto was sure that it was way over the spot it was that night that he lost control of it. Shin Knifes and Kynoto could see this new power in its entirety; it extended, almost like a beam, into the sky where it was massing into what looked like a black cloud.

“Get ready to die Shin Knifes!” Knifes hollered as he rushed the evil version of himself. He grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground. As he squeezed, and amidst the gurgling, Kynoto heard Shin Knifes say something. There was a flash and Knifes was thrown backwards into a mountainside on the other side of the area and almost through it. Shin Knifes had casted a rejection spell that threw Knifes off of him. Knifes stood up and brushed the dist off of his clothes. He stared at the ground for a few moments, like the calm before the storm, then the storm came. Knifes lunged at Shin Knifes, completely overpowering him. Blood was smashed from Shin Knifes body with very hit it sustained, and then Shin Knifes began to fight back. Soon they were back to being equal, Knifes had used his power to quickly. Knifes still held an advantage but it was failing fast. Shin Knifes anger was flaring up as never before, letting him increase his power. After awhile Kynoto lost track of them again because they were moving so fast, then he heard Knifes scream. He looked up in the air to see Knifes sail into the ground in front of him. As Knifes stood up Kynoto saw that his arm was broken again but he was using it as if it weren’t.

“I have had enough of this. I think I will end it here and now. Special attack; Soul Annihilator!” Shin Knifes yelled. His attack hit perfectly, Knifes was still too weak to avoid it. The Trianchu from the attack entered Knifes chest and covered his heart, crushing it into a sticky mess. Knifes went wide-eyed as he fell to the ground, blood running from his chest wound. Kynoto was lost for words. Just like that, Shin Knifes had killed Knifes. It seemed to easy, but Kynoto knew that it was true. Shin Knifes turned to Kynoto and said,

“Heh, that was too easy, I should have done that sooner. Now I have to deal with you. Final attack; Hell’s Fur… what in the crap!” Kynoto saw what Shin Knifes had seen. Shin Knifes had glanced down at Knifes to see that he was standing up, but there was something different about him, something evil. Then he saw the cloud-like black substance zoom down and envelop Knifes. They heard screams of agony and screams of joyous victory. Knifes was lifted to the top of the cloud and was carried over to Shin Knifes who gave Kynoto a quizzical look. Kynoto shrugged back, he had no idea what was going on. Then the cloud lifted Knifes upright where Shin Knifes jumped back. Knifes dove for him and got Shin Knifes who was trying to wriggle out of his hold.

“Now to return the favor!” Knifes shouted, his voice deep, as he plunged his hand into Shin Knifes chest, looking for his heart and ripping it out. He threw it on the ground and stomped on it, sending blood rushing in all directions. He then re-absorbed Shin Knifes and brought his power back down to normal. Kynoto let out a huge sigh of relief and said,

“Good work Knifes, now let’s go.” When Knifes did not move, Kynoto turned around to see what was taking him so long. He found a fist glaring him in the face as he was punched extremely hard. He staggered backward a few steps then regained his balance. “Why did you do that for Knifes?!” Kynoto exclaimed.

“Who is this Knifes? My name is Black Heart, king of the demons,” Knifes said in a low booming voice.

“B-black Heart?!” Kynoto said as he fell backward.

“Yes, Black Heart. I have been sealed in this boy for over a millennia by some cursed man called the Hero of Light,” Black Heart grumbled.

“This is insane! I thought I sealed him in a lost sole in Hell. But, what if, just what if that soul was Knifes, could he have been killed before? If he has then he had been around longer then I have, I sealed Black Heart away just after I became the Hero of Light. Wait! Don’t tell me that sealing Black Heart in his soul allowed Black Heart to revive him, but that would explain a few things,” Kynoto thought to himself.

“Now, who might you be?” Black Heart asked Kynoto who replied,

“I am a nobody, just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Hmm.. this boy’s memories are intact and if they are correct,” Kynoto winced, “then you are…Kynoto?!!!! Ha! How lucky I am! I never thought that I would be able to repay you my eternal restitution, but now times have changed and you have been delivered to my lap. I will not lose this chance, for I will not get another one. This boy is insanely strong; I will show you just how strong he is! I have taken control of him, in the absence of a soul; if one is trapped inside the body it takes residence in the body. You know that well don’t you Kynoto, but you forgot that you sealed my entire presence in this boy’s soul, therefore I can fuse with him, and he with I. Now watch as I make this boy’s body my own!” Black Heart yelled as he absorbed Knifes memories, personality and power. “Now, heh, prepare to die Kynoto, my old fellow,” Black Heart said as he increased his power extremely high, way over the level of that fateful night. Kynoto then realized that he was in trouble. In Hell, a demons power is cut by three fourths for security purposes, but once they enter the real world they gain all of their power back. Black Heart, even though he had his power restricted, was stronger then Kynoto in Hell that time, and now Kynoto was sure to be far out matched. Black Hearts power was now about seventy times higher then Kynoto’s as a Shadow Angel. “ My my, heh, what power, but it is not enough. Oh sure I could kill you with this power now Kynoto, but I don’t want to kill you, I want to completely obliterate you!” Black Heart shouted. His power almost doubled.

“H-how can he have this much power and still be able to control it?” Kynoto asked in disbelief.

“Heheh, this is not his power, it is mine. Now Knifes is no more!” Black Heart yelled joyously. The person called Knifes no longer existed, all of his knowledge, power, memories, and Trianchu abilities were transferred to Black Heart.

“Black Heart, you don’t know what your doing. You are going to lose control of that power soon!” Kynoto tried to tell Black Heart who replied,

“Oh come now Kynoto. Only he could not control that power, his body could not handle it, but now that I have control of his body I….think….not!” Black Heart said as his power leapt up another thirteen hundred levels.

“But how?!” Kynoto exclaimed.

“My dear Kynoto you lack an imagination. You sealed my soul in his, therefore it is only logical that my body would go there as well. I have incorporated my body into his, we are truly fused, so I can use his full power without that nasty side effect,” Black Heart said with a mild satisfaction in his voice as Kynoto looked on in horror, but this quickly changed.

“So…you killed Knifes and took over his body just like a damned parasite,” Kynoto said calmly. When he looked up he locked eyes with Black Heart in a murderous stare. “You killed him, after I lost so much to get him back; Triasha, Naomi, my family, Rouin, Wantene, Mirror, and now Knifes himself. You caused all tier deaths to become meaningless. You, what right do you have to take everything away from me?!” Kynoto’s power was now increasing. Black Heart took a few cautious steps away from Kynoto, he knew that if Kynoto got too mad that he would explode. “You bastard of Hell, how can you expect to get away with that?!!”

“My dear Kynoto, I have no equal in power no…” Black Heart began to say when Kynoto interrupted him.

“Wrong!! You do have an equal!! It is I!!!!” Kynoto shouted as he ascended past a Shadow Angel.

“Why Kynoto, I did not know you cared so much for me, heheheh,” Black Heart sniggered as he powered up further. Kynoto matched him easily.

“Power up as much as you want to Blacky, I’ll be able to match it!” Kynoto said savagely. Black Heart’s expression turned stern as he powered up even farther and faster. Kynoto was still even with him. Black Heart was beginning to sweat, the strain on him was obvious now, but Kynoto showed no signs of fatigue and was smiling at Black Heart.

“I have underestimated your power Kynoto, yes indeed, but you see, I have one more ace up my sleeve. Power of Light, envelop me, change me into a God!!!!” Black Heart shouted at the Heavens. Just when Kynoto didn’t think anything would happen, a ray of light shot through the clouds and it encompassed Black Heart. His power went up by five hundred billion levels; Kynoto could feel this high level now because his senses were increased when he ascended past a Shadow Angel. Kynoto could not match this level of power, so he had to do something that he did not want too, but under the circumstances he accepted to do. He closed his eyes and let his mortal body melt away, revealing his true self. He was garbed in robes of white with golden symbols written across his entire body. His hair was long and white with what looked like golden spikes attached to the ends. His eyes were black and his power was even higher then Black Hearts.

“Ahh, the true Kynoto shows himself. Kynoto the Destroyer, the evil side of the Hero of Light, but it is also the true side. Now, I can’t destroy this world, so I will let you do that!” Black Heart said in amazement.

“Black Heart, get ready to die,” this new Kynoto yelled, his voice had an echo in it, as if more then one person was speaking. He let his power soar to about eight trillion and that was when Black Heart knew that he had something other then the destruction of Earth planed. His power manifested its self in many different ways. The first was a purplish gold flame that encompassed Kynoto, the second was the wind that it was creating, and the last was that it was levitating rocks. “Doom attack, Kelshing’s Fury!” Kynoto bellowed. Several more rocks rose off the ground and turned into energy that fused and became four gold spikes. “Doom attack; Kelshing’s Rage!” Kynoto yelled again. The spikes turned a blood red color and their individual power increased, making them become supercharged. “Final doom attack; Kelshing’s Retribution!!!” Kynoto hollered with every fiber of his being. The four spikes ran through Black Heart twice, then skewered him though the hands and legs. “Black Heart, you want me to destroy the world, but I will not. Sealing attack; Black Heart’s Crucifixion!!” Kynoto roared. Black Heart went wide-eyed as a cross appeared behind him and a spectral sword of massive proportions materialized in front of him. He knew what was going to happen, just as before, he was going to be resealed into Knifes. The sword was launched into the air where it spun a few times before falling and cutting Black Hearts soul in half, sealing it away. Knifes lifeless body fell to the ground as the cross and sword dissipated. Kynoto rushed to his body, he had no time to waste. He used an extremely high leveled revival spell. For a second nothing happened, but then Knifes began coughing. He stood up and looked around then fell to his knees, clutching his head screaming,

“Kynoto, help me!!”

“Damn it, I forgot, he melded his personality with Knifes, and so he is still under Black Heart’s control, even if he is Knifes again, crap!! Knifes I am extremely sorry, but there is no other way but this. If I keep going on, or if you do, this world will end anyway, so that being the case, I’ll end this here and now, forever! “Forbidden Skill, Planet Buster!” Kynoto howled into the sky. This body began to glow with a feral light as Kynoto wept. This body started forming cracks, as if it was made from clay that got too dry. Once his body was covered in cracks it exploded apart causing a massive explosion that encompassed the whole planet. Black Heart’s soul survived the attack until the very last moment and then was vaporized. Kynoto had made the ultimate sacrifice; in order to protect the universe from Black Heart he had sacrificed the whole of the planet.

And so our story ends here, with the world destroyed, the universe saved, and Heaven and Hell broken for all eternity.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes....Or should I?

Seal of Tribulations


Knifes had been split in half by an unseen force and now Kynoto was sure that he was dead. As he limped towards the exit he turned around to pay his last respects, but instead he merely gawked. Knifes had indeed been split in had indeed been split in half, but the result was nothing of this world. There were now two Knifes; one was a Knifes with white symbols over his body, while the other had black ones. The aura of the white one was that same as the Knifes that had fought Kynotoishi, but the aura of the black one was the aura of the Knifes that he had just been fighting, but his power had been returned to normal. Kynoto stood in the room, looking from one Knifes to the other, waiting for the first blow to fall.

“This is an unforeseen event. You can call me Shin Knifes. Let’s see what you can do! Forbidden attack, Sword of Litilthim!” The black symbol Knifes said. A sword appeared, its silver blade stained with blood. Shin Knifes swooped in and viciously slashed at Knifes, who had not the time to defend himself, but as the sword pierced his skin, something about him changed. He materialized a sword and fended off Shin Knifes. “Well, it appears that we are the same. Good, this should be an interesting battle, wouldn’t you agree Kynoto?” Shin Knifes said, he had a grin on his face that made Kynoto wonder what he had planed. “Well your dead wrong! Even though we are both essentially Knifes, I am the evil side, the stronger side. Evil is stronger then good, Kynoto’s power as an Angel compared to his power as a Shadow Angel proves that.”

“It is the person, not the side, that chooses which side is stronger, Shin Knifes. I chose to become evil then, but I did it to do good, not evil,” Kynoto answered, his anger increasing.

“Oh come now Kynoto, you know that your power comes from your hate. Besides, you can’t fool me, I know your true desires,” Shin Knifes jeered as Kynoto gritted his teeth, trying to force his anger down. Shin Knifes smiled as he turned back to look at Knifes. When their eyes locked, the onslaught began. Punch after punch was thrown but they were all meet with the exact same force. Kynoto could not believe what he was witnessing. They were moving so fast now that Kynoto could not see them, but he could see the flash when their powers collided. When they came back into his view they were both breathing heavy and their knuckles were bleeding.

“Heh, interesting. I seriously thought that I would be stronger. Hmm…. try this on for size, I summon Mezrahi!!” Shin Knifes shouted as he slammed his palm into the ground, this created a hole in the ground about seventeen feet long by twenty-five feet wide. Then after a few seconds a dragon flew out of the hole. Kynoto got worried now, for this was no ordinary dragon, it was a dark dragon, the strongest breed. It let out a roar that shook the heavens as it descended on Knifes. He could not get out of the way of the dragons razor sharp talons, but somehow managed to fight the dragon off with his sword. The dragon let out another tremendous roar as it began to breath fire. Knifes dodged the first burst, and got singed by the second, but by the third he had created a water shield. This protected him from the dragons fire, but soon the dragon became aware of this. Dark dragons were the strongest of all dragons, but they were also the smartest and most cunning. It swooped in and shot a ball of fire at Knifes, who blocked it with the shield, but he did not see the dragon wheel around and dive straight for him. The water shield was far to weak to protect against the dragons talons and they slid through the shield as though it wasn’t there. The air was filled with his screams as the dragon tore at him with a savage strength. Then it stopped, all was silent until the dragon let out a roar louder then all the rest as if fell over backwards, it was dead.

“Haha! I forgot that summons have a time restriction on them. No matter, I wanted to kill him myself anyway,” Shin Knifes said, glee tainting his voice.

“Healing Mist!” Knifes gurgled, blood rushing from his open mouth. Even though he used a high level Grey Trianchu skill, some of his wounds did not heal completely. After this the onslaught resumed. This time Kynoto could see them but their attacks were much stronger. Each collision caused a small crater under the epicenter of the blow, even if they were in the upper reaches of the chamber.

“This place is to cramped, let’s go outside. Teleport skill!” Knifes said. This move transported the trio to a grassy field somewhere. “Now where were we?” Knifes asked rhetorically, “Ahh yes.” They went at it again and Kynoto still couldn’t keep up. The attacks were faster, stronger, and created orbs of energy appeared where their powers collided, destroying everything in their path. At one point ten minuets later, Kynoto saw twenty of these orbs at once, then all went quite for a while, and then two craters appeared to either side of Kynoto. When the dust cleared he saw that Shin Knifes was in the one to his right, while a crippled form, most likely Knifes, was in the one on his left. The one on the left was clutching his left arm, which was bleeding heavily. The wounds made by the dragon had reopened as well. As Kynoto looked to Shin Knifes, he noticed that he only had minor scratches.

“Well, let’s see what you do about this! Qcnn, psoc vc hefx yezcx! Jchxcg mggmht ek Qcnn; Jmxxez ek m Gqefimwa Acmgqi!” Shin Knifes said. The words were repeated from some where inside of him,

“Hell, give me your power! Secret attack of Hell; Sword of a Thousand Deaths!” Shin Knifes demonic aura increased tremendously and materialized as he powered up, bending the strength of Hell to his will. Shin Knifes pulled a sword out of a rift that had appeared in front of him. Kynoto had never seen this blade before, save once, a history book that depicted a battle scene in which that sword was slaying Triasha; it was the divine sword of the Hero of Light. How Shin Knifes had come into the possession of it, Kynoto could only guess. The sword had several bloodstains on its marvelous black blade, causing some of the golden ruins to appear red. The hilt was another interesting object. The hilt ballooned out to create a hand guard, while the main part of the hilt went down further and created another holding place. It had one other interesting object imbedded in the gold and silver hilt; Hell rubies, stones made from the hardened blood of Satan himself. These allowed the sword to access the power of hell. Shin Knifes let the heavy blade fall to the earth where it left a long scar. When he picked it up, he did so with one hand, the sword was a two handed weapon. He swung it around masterfully with a single had then set it in the air in front of him where it hovered for a moment before it rose high into the air where it multiplied into hundreds of swords. As the original moved, the rest followed. Kynoto saw where they were heading after a few seconds; Knifes. Luckily for Knifes, he saw them coming and casted an extremely high level Grey Trianchu spell just before they hit. When the dust cleared, Shin Knifes was dismayed to see that his attack had incurred no damage.

“What the Hell!?” Shin Knifes exclaimed.

“Heh, is that all the power Hell can conjure?” Knifes gloated as he let a little anger take control of him, their power levels were now equal. They went into another rampage, but this time Kynoto could see them, and he liked what he saw. Knifes was overpowering Shin Knifes now, pushing him back with each attack. Then, in an outburst of rage, he set a severe kick to Shin Knifes stomach that doubled him over in pain. Knifes strolled up to him and uppercutted him into the air and waited for him to reach the highest point that the last attack would allow and when it was reached, Knifes yelled, “Forbidden skill; Meteor Punch!” Knifes shot like a rocket up above Shin Knifes, where he hovered just above him. His hand glowed with a tremendous power as he sunk it into Shin Knifes back, nearly breaking his spine. Kynoto could feel the repercussions of the blow and he was amazed at the force of that attack. Kynoto saw the crippled form of Shin Knifes coming right at him. At first Kynoto had the idea to attack him, but he thought better of it and cleared away as fast as he could. As Shin Knifes hit the ground, he left a gigantic crater and caused the ground to crack and buckle as far as Kynoto could see. Shin Knifes had surly been killed by that attack. But then the unthinkable happened. Shin Knifes got up and brushed the dust off of his clothes and shook off his pain, he had cast no Grey Trianchu spells. Kynoto was mad; he had not attacked because he was sure that attack would have been enough to kill him.

“That was a very nice try Knifes… but it wasn’t good enough, heheh,” Shin Knifes sniggered, smirking quietly. Kynoto was dumbfounded. Not even he could have withstood that attack and yet Shin Knifes had gotten up and walked away from it with out the slightest sign of damage. “I underestimated you Knifes, but never again! This time I won’t hold back!! Forbidden attack; Hell Smasher!!” Shin Knifes yelled as he caught Knifes off guard and put him in a headlock. He began to spin vertically; faster and faster they went until they became blurred. Once he was going fast enough, Shin Knifes floated close to the ground and let go of Knifes. This cause another gigantic crater and the ground around it cracked and buckled again, creating a crisscross effect. Knifes staggered up, his arm appeared to be broken. The bone had gone through the skin. He looked up and said,

“Ouch, damn it that hurt,” He coughed up some blood after saying this.

“Well well well, still alive are we? Not for much longer I would hope. Why don’t we kick it up a notch eh Knifes? I do hope your ready Knifes, Cry of Cerberus!” Shin Knifes howled. Kynoto almost fell to his knees. This attack would surely kill Knifes if he could not stop it. It was a summoning spell that called upon a three-headed dog called Cerberus, the guardian of Hell’s Gate.

“Oh I don’t think so Shin Knifes!” Knifes said, staggering to stand straight. “Howl of Cerberus!” This caused Kynoto to spin around. He saw that one Cerberus had black symbols while the other had white ones, just as Knifes and Shin Knifes.

“Well, this is interesting, I have been split in two,” the Cerberus with the black symbols growled.

“It would appear so,” the white symbol Cerberus snarled. Then, simultaneously, both of the Cerberus’ used their finishing moves.

“Cerberus’s Howl of Purged Damnation!”

“Cerberus’s Cry of Purged Damnation!” The resulting shockwave sent everyone flying backwards. Rocks and dust were blown in every direction by the explosion; even some trees were ripped from the ground.

“Damn, it would appear that most of our summons are useless now. Since were split, so are the summons, how interesting. Well, I guess we will have to do this the old fashion way!” Shin Knifes yelled as they both ran at each other, their swords drawn. When they locked blades, Kynoto could feel the tension between the two. Soon the blades grew red hot from the extreme pressure that they were under and soon after they began to crack. The blades began to quiver and shake with pain as the cracks continued to form until the blades broke from the hilts, slashing both Knifes and Shin Knifes on their right temples as the blades spun off to the left and right. As blood tricked down the sides of their faces they said,

“Only human, Hidden Flame of the Northern Clan!” They used the same attack on each other, yet something was holding Knifes back. Knifes felt his skin burning, smelt it burning. It was somehow familiar, then he remembered his mother’s and sister’s screams. He remembered the night of the fire when he had tried to rescue them, the smell of their burning skin, and the smell that the fire put off; an almost toxic smell. To Shin Knifes it had looked like Knifes had passed out, but he had no idea. He heard Kynoto fall to the ground.

“What’s your problem, you knew that I would beat him,” he said, but then he realized that Kynoto was not looking at him but at Knifes. His hands were shaking. Shin Knifes had never seen Kynoto like this; he was terrified of something. He immediately turned to Knifes and saw what had made Kynoto like this. Knifes was awake again and his power was enormous. Shin Knifes did not have to sense it; he could see it. It was like Knifes was enclosed in a fiery bubble of power. “W-what the Hell. Where did all that power come from?!” Shin Knifes exclaimed.

“You! It was you all along!! You killed our parents, our brothers, our sister!!!” Knifes shouted, his voice was high and raspy now.

“W-what…. oh you mean the fire, yes that was me. While you were sleeping I came out for the first time in my life and I did some things that could not be known to anyone, so I destroyed the evidence,” Shin Knifes said with the same amused tone as when he killed Naomi. “Do you want to see?” Knifes mind was flooded by visions of his sister.

“You bastard!! You did that unforgivable act to my sister!!! I’ll kill you, I’m going to kill you if it is the last damn thing I do!” Knifes said, his power increasing dramatically, his voice was growing lower. Soon Shin Knifes realized his mistake when he tried to attack Knifes. He was blown away by a mere shove from Knifes. Knifes had let his anger take control of him completely now, letting it infect his soul, letting it invade his body, and throwing away his sanity he allowed it to take over him. Since he had no more evil in him, Shin Knifes had been separated, his power was staggering. Kynoto watched in amazement, he had never before witnessed such a power as this; a completely non-evil power infused with hate, a hate so great that the user would cast away his body to it. Kynoto wondered just what Knifes had seen, but it was his guess that it was something terribly enraging. Knifes appeared next to Shin Knifes and elbowed him into the ground. He was moving so fast that neither of the two could see him. He put his foot on top of Shin Knifes head and drove it into the ground, causing blood to seep through the cracks around the hole where his head was. “You God damn bastard! You made me kill all those villagers, thinking that they killed my family, when it was you all along!” Knifes yelled, as he kicked Shin Knifes into a mountain behind him. Shin Knifes stood up and coughed up some blood as he tried to regain what little advantage he had left. Knifes was completely out of control now, and his power was still increasing at a very high rate. Knifes rushed over to where Shin Knifes was and started to punch him in the stomach, each hit driving Shin Knifes further and further into the mountain side. Three minutes later Knifes laid a devastating seventy blows at once to Shin Knifes and this almost did him in. He fell to the ground, half unconscious and bleeding badly from his mouth and nose. Knifes was breathing heavily as sweat dripped from his brow. Knifes was about to start up his rampage again when he stopped. Shin Knifes took his chance and got up and away from Knifes. After he cast a Grey Trianchu spell he looked toward Knifes and said,

“What the Hell?!!” Kynoto wondered what was up and so he looked at Knifes, what he saw literally made his heart skip a beat. Knifes was hunched over muttering something while his power exploded upward with every second. The once greenish red colored power that surrounded him had now turned jet black. Then Kynoto felt another barrier appear inside of Knifes as an image of a demon appeared behind him. Kynoto was sure that it was a Hyper Demon; its eyes were a reddish gold color. As the image faded Kynoto felt the barrier explode open and Knifes power went up so high that Kynoto was sure that it was way over the spot it was that night that he lost control of it. Shin Knifes and Kynoto could see this new power in its entirety; it extended, almost like a beam, into the sky where it was massing into what looked like a black cloud.

“Get ready to die Shin Knifes!” Knifes hollered as he rushed the evil version of himself. He grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground. As he squeezed, and amidst the gurgling, Kynoto heard Shin Knifes say something. There was a flash and Knifes was thrown backwards into a mountainside on the other side of the area and almost through it. Shin Knifes had casted a rejection spell that threw Knifes off of him. Knifes stood up and brushed the dist off of his clothes. He stared at the ground for a few moments, like the calm before the storm, then the storm came. Knifes lunged at Shin Knifes, completely overpowering him. Blood was smashed from Shin Knifes body with very hit it sustained, and then Shin Knifes began to fight back. Soon they were back to being equal, Knifes had used his power to quickly. Knifes still held an advantage but it was failing fast. Shin Knifes anger was flaring up as never before, letting him increase his power. After awhile Kynoto lost track of them again because they were moving so fast, then he heard Knifes scream. He looked up in the air to see Knifes sail into the ground in front of him. As Knifes stood up Kynoto saw that his arm was broken again but he was using it as if it weren’t.

“I have had enough of this. I think I will end it here and now. Special attack; Soul Annihilator!” Shin Knifes yelled. His attack hit perfectly, Knifes was still too weak to avoid it. The Trianchu from the attack entered Knifes chest and covered his heart, crushing it into a sticky mess. Knifes went wide-eyed as he fell to the ground, blood running from his chest wound. Kynoto was lost for words. Just like that, Shin Knifes had killed Knifes. It seemed to easy, but Kynoto knew that it was true. Shin Knifes turned to Kynoto and said,

“Heh, that was too easy, I should have done that sooner. Now I have to deal with you. Final attack; Hell’s Fur… what in the crap!” Kynoto saw what Shin Knifes had seen. Shin Knifes had glanced down at Knifes to see that he was standing up, but there was something different about him, something evil. Then he saw the cloud-like black substance zoom down and envelop Knifes. They heard screams of agony and screams of joyous victory. Knifes was lifted to the top of the cloud and was carried over to Shin Knifes who gave Kynoto a quizzical look. Kynoto shrugged back, he had no idea what was going on. Then the cloud lifted Knifes upright where Shin Knifes jumped back. Knifes dove for him and got Shin Knifes who was trying to wriggle out of his hold.

“Now to return the favor!” Knifes shouted, his voice deep, as he plunged his hand into Shin Knifes chest, looking for his heart and ripping it out. He threw it on the ground and stomped on it, sending blood rushing in all directions. He then re-absorbed Shin Knifes and brought his power back down to normal. Kynoto let out a huge sigh of relief and said,

“Good work Knifes, now let’s go.” When Knifes did not move, Kynoto turned around to see what was taking him so long. He found a fist glaring him in the face as he was punched extremely hard. He staggered backward a few steps then regained his balance. “Why did you do that for Knifes?!” Kynoto exclaimed.

“Who is this Knifes? My name is Black Heart, king of the demons,” Knifes said in a low booming voice.

“B-black Heart?!” Kynoto said as he fell backward.

“Yes, Black Heart. I have been sealed in this boy for over a millennia by some cursed man called the Hero of Light,” Black Heart grumbled.

“This is insane! I thought I sealed him in a lost sole in Hell. But, what if, just what if that soul was Knifes, could he have been killed before? If he has then he had been around longer then I have, I sealed Black Heart away just after I became the Hero of Light. Wait! Don’t tell me that sealing Black Heart in his soul allowed Black Heart to revive him, but that would explain a few things,” Kynoto thought to himself.

“Now, who might you be?” Black Heart asked Kynoto who replied,

“I am a nobody, just a man in the wrong place at the wrong time.”

“Hmm.. this boy’s memories are intact and if they are correct,” Kynoto winced, “then you are…Kynoto?!!!! Ha! How lucky I am! I never thought that I would be able to repay you my eternal restitution, but now times have changed and you have been delivered to my lap. I will not lose this chance, for I will not get another one. This boy is insanely strong; I will show you just how strong he is! I have taken control of him, in the absence of a soul; if one is trapped inside the body it takes residence in the body. You know that well don’t you Kynoto, but you forgot that you sealed my entire presence in this boy’s soul, therefore I can fuse with him, and he with I. Now watch as I make this boy’s body my own!” Black Heart yelled as he absorbed Knifes memories, personality and power. “Now, heh, prepare to die Kynoto, my old fellow,” Black Heart said as he increased his power extremely high, way over the level of that fateful night. Kynoto then realized that he was in trouble. In Hell, a demons power is cut by three fourths for security purposes, but once they enter the real world they gain all of their power back. Black Heart, even though he had his power restricted, was stronger then Kynoto in Hell that time, and now Kynoto was sure to be far out matched. Black Hearts power was now about seventy times higher then Kynoto’s as a Shadow Angel. “ My my, heh, what power, but it is not enough. Oh sure I could kill you with this power now Kynoto, but I don’t want to kill you, I want to completely obliterate you!” Black Heart shouted. His power almost doubled.

“H-how can he have this much power and still be able to control it?” Kynoto asked in disbelief.

“Heheh, this is not his power, it is mine. Now Knifes is no more!” Black Heart yelled joyously. The person called Knifes no longer existed, all of his knowledge, power, memories, and Trianchu abilities were transferred to Black Heart.

“Black Heart, you don’t know what your doing. You are going to lose control of that power soon!” Kynoto tried to tell Black Heart who replied,

“Oh come now Kynoto. Only he could not control that power, his body could not handle it, but now that I have control of his body I….think….not!” Black Heart said as his power leapt up another thirteen hundred levels.

“But how?!” Kynoto exclaimed.

“My dear Kynoto you lack an imagination. You sealed my soul in his, therefore it is only logical that my body would go there as well. I have incorporated my body into his, we are truly fused, so I can use his full power without that nasty side effect,” Black Heart said with a mild satisfaction in his voice as Kynoto looked on in horror, but this quickly changed.

“So…you killed Knifes and took over his body just like a damned parasite,” Kynoto said calmly. When he looked up he locked eyes with Black Heart in a murderous stare. “You killed him, after I lost so much to get him back; Triasha, Naomi, my family, Rouin, Wantene, Mirror, and now Knifes himself. You caused all tier deaths to become meaningless. You, what right do you have to take everything away from me?!” Kynoto’s power was now increasing. Black Heart took a few cautious steps away from Kynoto, he knew that if Kynoto got too mad that he would explode. “You bastard of Hell, how can you expect to get away with that?!!”

“My dear Kynoto, I have no equal in power no…” Black Heart began to say when Kynoto interrupted him.

“Wrong!! You do have an equal!! It is I!!!!” Kynoto shouted as he ascended past a Shadow Angel.

“Why Kynoto, I did not know you cared so much for me, heheheh,” Black Heart sniggered as he powered up further. Kynoto matched him easily.

“Power up as much as you want to Blacky, I’ll be able to match it!” Kynoto said savagely. Black Heart’s expression turned stern as he powered up even farther and faster. Kynoto was still even with him. Black Heart was beginning to sweat, the strain on him was obvious now, but Kynoto showed no signs of fatigue and was smiling at Black Heart.

“I have underestimated your power Kynoto, yes indeed, but you see, I have one more ace up my sleeve. Power of Light, envelop me, change me into a God!!!!” Black Heart shouted at the Heavens. Just when Kynoto didn’t think anything would happen, a ray of light shot through the clouds and it encompassed Black Heart. His power went up by five hundred billion levels; Kynoto could feel this high level now because his senses were increased when he ascended past a Shadow Angel. Kynoto could not match this level of power, so he had to do something that he did not want too, but under the circumstances he accepted to do. He closed his eyes and let his mortal body melt away, revealing his true self. He was garbed in robes of white with golden symbols written across his entire body. His hair was long and white with what looked like golden spikes attached to the ends. His eyes were black and his power was even higher then Black Hearts.

“Ahh, the true Kynoto shows himself. Kynoto the Destroyer, the evil side of the Hero of Light, but it is also the true side. Now, I can’t destroy this world, so I will let you do that!” Black Heart said in amazement.

“Black Heart, get ready to die,” this new Kynoto yelled, his voice had an echo in it, as if more then one person was speaking. He let his power soar to about eight trillion and that was when Black Heart knew that he had something other then the destruction of Earth planed. His power manifested its self in many different ways. The first was a purplish gold flame that encompassed Kynoto, the second was the wind that it was creating, and the last was that it was levitating rocks. “Doom attack, Kelshing’s Fury!” Kynoto bellowed. Several more rocks rose off the ground and turned into energy that fused and became four gold spikes. “Doom attack; Kelshing’s Rage!” Kynoto yelled again. The spikes turned a blood red color and their individual power increased, making them become supercharged. “Final doom attack; Kelshing’s Retribution!!!” Kynoto hollered with every fiber of his being. The four spikes ran through Black Heart twice, then skewered him though the hands and legs. “Black Heart, you want me to destroy the world, but I will not. Sealing attack; Black Heart’s Crucifixion!!” Kynoto roared. Black Heart went wide-eyed as a cross appeared behind him and a spectral sword of massive proportions materialized in front of him. He knew what was going to happen, just as before, he was going to be resealed into Knifes. The sword was launched into the air where it spun a few times before falling and cutting Black Hearts soul in half, sealing it away. Knifes lifeless body fell to the ground as the cross and sword dissipated. Kynoto rushed to his body, he had no time to waste. He used an extremely high leveled revival spell. For a second nothing happened, but then Knifes began coughing. He stood up and looked around then fell to his knees, clutching his head screaming,

“Kynoto, help me!!”

“Damn it, I forgot, he melded his personality with Knifes, and so he is still under Black Heart’s control, even if he is Knifes again, crap!! Knifes I am extremely sorry, but there is no other way but this. Seal of Tribulations!” Kynoto said. This spell would trap Knifes and Black Heart away for a very long time. Hopefully, by the time they were revived, Knifes would have absorbed Black Heart. A barrier appeared around Knifes, it was colored and shaped like an emerald. They would be trapped in an alternate dimension, in a maze like place filled with puzzles and traps. It would separate the consciousnesses of the two from Knifes body and if Knifes could absorbed Black Heart fully then get back to his body, he would not have to be killed. But if Black heart made it to Knifes body first, Knifes would be trapped in the maze forever and his body would have to be destroyed. “Good it worked, now all I have to do is protect it until I find another,” Kynoto muttered. This spell had a big side effect though, yet Kynoto knew this and decided that the occasion was serious enough. It was such a high level skill that if it did not kill the user, it would take away their Trianchu permanently. Kynoto would now age, but that didn’t matter to him. And thus ended the adventures of Kynoto, or at least he hoped, but it was a false hope, and his adventures were far from over, indeed, hard and evil times were about to befall Kynoto, he had no idea what was in store for him but he would meet it with the courage that had kept him alive for so long, even when all his hope was gone.
I thought what I'd do was, I'd pretend I was one of those deaf-mutes....Or should I?
