| Gabriel�s Retreat | ||||||
| As Gabriel and his companions traveled towards Earth, Triasha continued his reign of terror. The small army consisted of Kynoto, Celestial, Mitch, Zonoto, and Gabriel. Of all of them, Zonoto was the strongest, or so they thought. As soon as they landed they saw the signs of Triashas� doings. The followed the trail of carrion as it wound north.
�It looks as though Triasha has been very busy,� Gabriel said, looking upon the many bodies lying on the ground as they went through what had been a town. Then Celestial screamed. Several zombies had grabbed her. Kynoto yanked her free of them while Mitch and Zonoto dismantled them. Gabriel looked from north to south and said, �Is he responsible for all of this death? I knew that he would seek revenge, but at this level, I have never seen anything like it.� �This is his way of getting back at me for killing him. He won�t stop till every last living thing is dead, take my word for it,� Kynoto said, hate gleaming in his eyes. He did not like to see people suffering. Triasha lived for it tough, thus Triasha and h were completely opposite; one good one evil, yet Kynoto knew that, deep inside of him, that he held a darkness far greater then Triasha�s. There was a long silence between the group and was broken when Celestial asked, �What type of plants are these? I haven�t seen them around here before.� �They are called Kildregs� Fang. They are extremely poisonous and will kill you if you even touch them. �Ok then, Mr. Gabriel Lord of the Plants, how do you know this? You were always asleep during class back in the day,� Celestial sarcastically. �They were in a book I read; �Plants of the Nether Realm,� Gabriel said. Through out the night they saw many unexplainable things; lizards the size of shoes, scorpions that were twenty times bigger then they should be, and strange plants and life forms that none of them had ever seen before. �This must be the work of Triasha, how else would all of this have happened? So far, almost everything we have seen tonight has been poisonous; plants, animals, even clouds,� Kynoto said, amazed at the planets sudden change. �Maybe he is doing more then stealing souls down here,� said Zonoto rather tensely as he saw the bee that flew by Mitch�s head; it was the size of a small dog and had a two meter long stinger. �Lets get going before Triasha decides to mutate something bigger, like a bear or something,� Mitch said dodging the bee as it flew after him trying to sting him. Zonoto rushed over and crushed the bee in one sweep of his sword. By dawn they had caught up with Triasha and had engaged him, or would have done so if that thing hadn�t attack Triasha first. As Triasha went around the globe, he was trying to cause a mass genocide and was replacing the humans with new life forms. One of these life forms had evolved since Triasha had created it and gained an intelligence that would have rivaled that of Albert Einstein if he were still alive. It nearly killed Triasha by morphing itself into an energy bazooka, shooting off a round at Triasha. This caught him by surprise and did a lot of damage to him. Now that Triasha was aware of this new threat, he smiled at the others and said, satisfaction permeating his voice, �Now its time to use a new skill that I made while I was down in your comfortable accommodations, Kynoto.� He raised his arm and yelled, �Andromeda Blast!� Several yellowish orange balls shot from his outstretched hand and penetrated the creature. �This attack takes the red blood cells of the victim and turns then into microscopic bombs and then it explodes them causing the creature to implode. It�s a very nasty, yet satisfying, sight,� Trisha said as the creature exploded, its blood spilling across the ground in all directions. Triasha then turned to Gabriel and said scathingly �Long time no see Gabriel. Do you still have that scar I gave you when we first met in Hell? Hahaha.� Gabriel looked away from Triasha and said to the rest of them, �Kynoto and Zonoto stay here. The rest of us will retreat back behind that ridge.� �Aw, running away are we Gabriel? Heh, you don�t have the guts to fight me face-to-face, no, you send your savior Kynoto and this big brute to do your dirty work,� Triasha said savagely. Gabriel ignored him and kept going. Once he gave the two remaining angels the go ahead, Zonoto flew at Triasha only to be thrown back by Triasha�s energy. He appeared in front of Zonoto and put his hand to his head as he smirked; Kynoto knew what he was going to do a split second before he did it. He had barely stopped Triasha from turning Zonoto into a zombie himself. �Zonoto, go over to Gabriel, you are no match for him, just leave it to me,� Kynoto said, but for some reason Zonoto didn�t think that it was Kynoto speaking to him. There was something different about his eyes, a dark light shown in them that he had never seen before. �What does he think he is doing?! That idiot, is he trying to get himself killed?� Gabriel asked as a vain popping out of his forehead from stress. �He can take care of himself, he is a true warrior. Besides, that is not Kynoto out there; I think it might be Kynotoishi, since we know that he is part of Kynoto, maybe he can take control of Kynoto�s body at times when he deems it necessary,� Zonoto told the aghast listeners. Then a flash diverted their attention. Kynoto, or Kynotoishi as it had appeared to be, had drawn his sword and attack Triasha who had barely deflected the attack with his arm guard. Triasha jumped up and flew down diagonally as Kynotoishi dropped his guard and managed to kick his adversary away from him long enough so that he could unsheathe his sword. �Heh, so you�re going to make this hard again, eh Triasha?� said the familiar voice. Triasha almost dropped his sword; he was not fighting Kynoto, it was Kynotoishi. Triasha now gained his composure and attacked Kynotoishi with a renew hatred. Eventually Kynotoishi overpowered Triasha who was forced to make a slight retreat. �Hmm, you�re a bit stronger. Well so have I, heh. Dark Trianchu Blast!� Shouted Triasha. Kynotoishi was fearful of what this new form of Trianchu might be capable of. He found out when it hit him; it caused overwhelming pain in the attach�. �Pain devourer!� yelped Kynotoishi, his voice tainted with pain, but this soon ended. The ability he had activated allowed him to absorb the pain itself and turn it into energy. �Now you get to see one of the skills that I learned from being an angel! Heavens� Wrath!� He shouted. His sword began to glow and he floated above Triasha, who realized, to his horror, that he had been immobilized. Kynotoishi�s sword began to gather Trianchu particles at its tip and compressed them together to form a ball. Once the ball was the size of a basketball, Kynotoishi fell straight down; the sword tip entering Triasha�s left shoulder. The ball dispersed through out Triasha�s body and forced its self out of his body leaving many hole all over his body. Triasha fell to his knees, blood running out of the hole; creating a pool around him. Then he stood up and ushered, �Grey Trianchu.� A red and black mist began to swirl around Triasha�s feet. It soon enveloped him in a shroud; Kynotoishi didn�t like the look of it, not one bit. Triasha emerged fully healed and stronger then ever. �Hahaha, how do you like this Kynotoishi; this new power. I call it Grey Trianchu. It allows the user to heal anything, even if he is an inch from death, and the more sever the injury, the stronger the user becomes after he or she is healed,� Triasha smirked as he saw the dumfounded look on Kynotoishi�s face. �Alright then, I didn�t wasn�t to do this, but you have left me no choice. Heavens� Wrath times five!� Kynotoishi yelled as he regained his senses. Triasha was giving a new definition of pain. This attack wasn�t the one he had just experienced, no. It was much more powerful and caused much more damage. This he could not heal with Grey Trianchu alone. He disappeared in a wisp of black smoke as Gabriel looked upon the scene, completely stunned. Kynotoishi then passed out where he stood. The stress generated by the attack was unreal and it had taken its heavy tool on Kynotoishi as well as Kynoto. For now, Triasha had been quieted, and it was now more important to get Kynoto back to heaven so that he could recuperate. |
