�Gabriel, he has awakened,� said an orange haired angel standing on his left. Kynoto asked,
�How long have I been out?� He tried to sit up but the attempt was met with pain; his bones were stiff.
�Nearly two months,� Gabriel said passively looking gloomy about something. Kynoto picked up on this quite quickly and asked,
�What�s wrong?� Gabriel did not answer.
�Crystala, you don�t know her, was killed a few weeks ago by Triasha. What makes matters worse is that Gabriel blames himself for her death, since she was killed up here in Heaven,� Celestial said, now starting to sob between breaths. �She was my sister.�
�We don�t know how he got in either; we have a seal that covers every accessible point, and only the angels know the code to get in,� Mitch said, his voice trembling with fear and anger.
�Well I do,� Kynoto announced to the now quite room, �That day, when I saved Zonoto, Triasha was taking his mind at that time and I barely stopped him from turning Zonoto into a zombie, but I was a little too late; he is a half zombie. Don�t believe me? Go check his DNA, you�ll find a base pair that is decomposing.�
�Sir, we have the report here. It�s exactly as he said and we found the same condition in 3 other angels� sir,� a guard said in disbelief about ten minutes later.
�Who are they?� Gabriel asked tonelessly. The guard replied,
�Ferdanan, Asdom, and Helix Sir.�
�Have them report to my office where they will be discharged,� Gabriel said, a bitter tone in his voice that made Kynoto wonder why he was taking all of this so personally.
�Yes Sir!� the guard saluted as he walked out of the room. Kynoto asked inquisitively,
�What was all that about?� Gabriel turned to him, showing no expression at all, like a soldier that would do any command given to him; a person without a soul, hallow and devoid of a personality.
�I have been promoted to General, and you have been promoted to Commander,� He said in the same toneless voice as he walked out of the room. Kynoto was stunned that he had been promoted from a nobody, just an angel, to commander after one battle.
Kynoto spent the rest of the day training as well as thinking. Kynotoishi could take over him at his own will even if Kynoto didn�t want him too. This bothered Kynoto, this Kynotoishi that was inside of him had become a second consciousness, meaning that it could take control of him permanently should Kynoto be killed. About noon Kynoto sought out Gabriel. It wasn�t hard to find him; Kynoto just followed the �Sir, yes Sir�s� and they led him to Gabriel�s office eventually. As Kynoto walked in Gabriel said, barely looking up from his paperwork,
�What is it Commander?� Kynoto paused for a second then said, rather quietly,
�I need to speak to �him�,� Kynoto said as he pointed upwards.
�Oh, alright, I will take you there right now, I can do this later,� Gabriel said with a deadened voice.
As they ascended a large staircase, Gabriel asked Kynoto what business he had with �him�, Kynoto replied pensively,
�Well, I was wondering how I could get rid of Kynotoishi. If I were to die in battle, he would gain full control over my powers which, so far, he hasn�t been able to get a hold of. But if I were to die, then everyone would be in mortal danger. I might look scrawny, but I am powerful and what you saw was only a fraction of my power. He could not access it because I was blocking him from using it even though he would have been able to completely destroy Triasha.�
�Oh, I see. So this power could also destroy Heaven, Hell, and all in between. Then your cause is just, you may see �him�,� Gabriel said, his voice still blank; devoid of emotion. Then, as if a secret word had been said, a doorway opened behind them on a lower step. They entered and Gabriel stated loudly, �Sire, Kynoto is in need of answers and seeks your counsel.� His voice echoed off of the walls in the gigantic room. Mostly, it was made of marble and gold, but there was also some obsidian and graphite.
�Leave us for now Gabriel,� said a mysterious booming voice. �Now Kynoto, what seems to be troubling you?�
�Kynoto tried to reply but nothing came out, he cleared his throat and tried again, this time he spoke,
�I need to know something. If Kynotoishi can control me while I am awake, can�t he do it while asleep?�
�Ahh, Kynotoishi is it? I remember when he was up here, but something happened to him; something dreadful. I suppose it was the exposure to your power that drove him mad, but that is in the past. He is now a being of evil, therefore, you must do what you can to be rid of him, but this will not be an easy task. For one, you must have a person or thing that can steal a soul, second Kynotoishi must be in control, or you will be the one who gets taken. Can you solve my riddle Kynoto? I have heard that you are a smart young man,� the mysterious voice said.
�Smart yes, but young, no. I must be at least four thousand years old, but I look like I am 45 because of my Trianchu powers. Now, I need a soul-stealer and Kynotoishi must be out, so I would need�Triasha?!� Kynoto said surprisingly.
�Correct,� answered the voice. Kynoto rushed out to tell the others. As he came into the room, Celestial asked hesitantly,
�What is it Kynoto?�
�We need to find Triasha now!� Kynoto exclaimed.
Meanwhile back on Earth, Triasha was perfecting a new form of Trianchu.
�Ok, so blue controls time and read controls speed. Now if I combine them I get purple, which has both time and speed powers. Now, if I add more blue then red, I can manipulate it to control time and space. Then the red comes into play as it will allow me to go into the future or past and take something out of it before the rift closes. Aha! Got it, now to actually attempt it. Now, we splice this and add this here and change the code from this; infin=time+power; to this; 4=eventplane/speed=time+speed/criticalmass=ripoftime+time=speed. There, now it is complete. Now to test it, but I must be careful as this could easily destroy me,� Triasha said, a mad light gleaming in his eye. Then he tested out his new creation, the clone was almost perfect, except that it was weaker then it should be; it should have been equal or stronger. �Ahh, there is the problem, I need to inverse this�and there, all done,� Triasha muttered to himself. Then he retried the process and it was a success. He now had a clone of Kynotoishi; an evil one. �Hahaha, now its time to pay Kynoto a visit,� he said as he led the clone out of the cave and into the world.
