Chapter 9
Comming fo the Shadow Angel
As they came to the surface they realized that Triasha had been hiding his true power all along.  He had about four times as much as they had initially thought. This worried Kynoto, but he was almost certain that he could handle him.

�Looks like Triasha was planning to surprise us wasn�t he, heh.  Well do I have a surprise for him.  He won�t know what hit him once I use my new attacks. I spent all night perfecting them,� Kynoto said boastingly.   Gabriel didn�t like the sound of this, Triasha was stronger then he had originally planned, if he had known this bit of information, he would have mobilized the whole army of Heaven, not just seven members of it but then again Triasha would just probably kill them all along with himself if he felt overpowered in anyway.  It became clear, however, to Gabriel that Triasha intended to fight Kynoto and only Kynoto.  Soon Hellser could see Triasha flying right towards him.  Before Gabriel could tell him to get out of the way, Hellser fell when a tiny beam of Trianchu pierced his heart straight through.  As Hellser fell, Quinn and Sceptila jumped out to confront Triasha.  Quinn got off lucky and only suffered a bone cracking blow to his ribcage, unfortunately however, he died later due to several punctures to his lungs by his broken ribs, Sceptila received much worse.  She had been the one who had first engaged Triasha and had her neck broken in  four separate places.  It appeared that Triasha meant business today and he wasn�t shy to the idea of killing anyone who got in his way.  Gabriel looked down at the three fallen angels and wondered what would happen to the rest of them should Kynoto fail, for no one there but Kynoto stood a chance against a monster of Triashas� magnitude and Triasha knew this as well.  When Kynoto stepped in front of him he stopped, though not without a great strain.

�Will you get out of my way!  I must make sure that it is only you and me Kynoto,� Triasha shouted.  Kynoto replied calmly,

�I promise you Triasha, they will not interfere.�

�Well, if they do, then I will kill the one who does,� Triasha said moodily.

�Fine, that is alright with me.  You three, please move back to a safe distance, we wouldn�t want any intrusions now would we?� Kynoto said reassuringly.  The way that Kynoto said this made Celestial feel at ease in the current situation.  She thought to herself,

�He knows what he is doing.  He is the only one who can beat him and I know he will.�  Once they had retreated to Kynotos� liking, he turned to face Triasha.  Triasha saw that this Kynoto was not the one that had just bargained with him, this one looked older, sterner, and even hateful.

�Alright Triasha, let�s settle this.  You have wasted too much precious life in your life time,� Kynoto said stout and unwavering.  Triasha replied heartily,

�And you have saved too much, dear old Kynoto, hehe.  It is time that you and I found our peace�but you are going to before me!�  Triasha caught Kynoto off guard and had gained an advantage; the element of surprise.  Triasha was already in control of this battle and Kynoto wasn�t too sure that he could regain it.  Triasha was attack fiercely, such that Kynoto could barley defend himself and was eventually knocked to the ground.  Triasha stood over him, his sword point to Kynotos� throat, waiting for the right moment to kill him.  Then Kynoto whispered something that only Triasha could hear and Triasha froze stiff as a board.  Kynoto seized this opportunity to get behind Triasha and punch him hard on the back of his head.  Triasha lurched forward as his nose and eyes bled.  Triasha turned around, seemingly revived from his previous state.  He looked mad about something and this made Gabriel wonder what Kynoto had said, but that was for later, Kynoto was having more trouble.  Triasha had gained some more power somehow and was now faster then Kynoto.  He was slapping Kynoto around like he was a rag doll, not giving him a chance to attack.  Then when all seemed lost, Kynoto broke out of Triasha�s onslaught and started one of his own.

�Now, to use one of my new attacks.  Gabriel should find this interesting, hahahahaha,� Kynoto laughed�then he got serious, a malicious light glowing in his eyes, �Alright, lets do this! Secret Art; Yanoko!  Kynoto lifted his sword and broke it in half and lo! The halves became two separate swords.  Kynoto flew at Triasha and began to spin.  He had started one of the most devastating blows to Triasha to date.  Gabriel realized this art at once for it had caused much turmoil in the Hangahina Campaign during the war between Hell and Heaven.  It was a demon technique that literally would slice a person into shreds if it was not dodged.

�Iron Fists!� Triasha bellowed.  His hands turned to a steel-like color and he held them out in front of them, barely stopping Kynoto�s attack.  The blades bounced harmlessly off of Triasha�s hands which emitted sparks occasionally.  Kynoto stopped the attack and looked at this new development.  But some good had come of this.  Triasha hands had become scared for even tough he had blocked the attack, Kynoto�s swords were still strong enough to scratch the surface of Triasha�s hands and when he undid the magic, he would have deep scars.  Triasha looked at Kynoto carefully now, thinking what to do.  He had already proven himself stronger then Kynoto, but something was causing his power to be held back.  Something inside of him was eating his power; feeding, growing stronger by the minute.  Something was defiantly not right.  Kynoto was about ready to start his other new attack, one that would surely destroy Triasha, when Triasha gave a shrill scream.  Gabriel jumped from the noise, it had startled him greatly.  They looked over at Triasha and saw a hideous sight.  A head was protruding from his back and it was not any head.  It was the head of Kynoto�s once greatest enemy; Shintriasha.  Shintriasha worked his way out of Triasha, causing his back to split open, Triasha�s spine was broken in half as Shintriasha struggled to get out.  Triasha would have died there and then if he had not cast a powerful Grey Trianchu spell immediately after Shintriasha exited him.  This was the answer to Kynotos� questions.  Triasha had the power to kill him but something was holding him back and he sensed that second energy.

�Ahhh, sooo good to be out of that idiot.  Now, Kynoto, we have a score to settle.  But lets rid our selves of this trash first, heheheheheh,� Shintriasha laughed maniacally as he turned to the three remaining angels.  Kynoto realized what he had meant just before he did what he was about to do.  He only had time to save one of them, so he acted on instinct and saved Celestial since Gabriel could be brought back easily because he has the highest ranking angel, they got special privileges such as instant regeneration and instant revival.  Mitch however would not be so lucky, he would not be able to come back.  Celestial looked at the slaughter of her friends and commander and began to cry.  Kynoto came to her and assured her that justice would be paid even if it killed him.  He turned to Shintriasha and as he looked at his smirk, he let his anger consume him.  This startled Shintriasha because Kynoto had never let his anger interfere in his duties since he had first met him, but this was not the Kynoto he knew, no, this Kynoto was a whole different person.  Shintriasha could feel the evil radiating from him, so could Celestial and she went wide-eyed and Kynoto�s power rose incredibly high.

�N-no, he couldn�t have figured it out,� she whispered to herself.  Then as she finished her statement, Kynoto grew two wings, like a traditional angel would, but then he grew a third one, a black one, right between the first two.  He had transcended past a mere angel, he was now a Shadow Angel; an angel of Hell.  Shintriasha was lost for words, more or less frightened from this new episode of events.  Terror replaced the disbelief in Shintriasha quickly though.  He could feel the power of this man and it was pure evil.

�Who would have thought that an angel would be capable of such evil,� Shintriasha said at length.  Kynoto scowled at Shintriasha and said in a tone that made Celestials blood run cold as ice,

�You, you rotting piece of crap.  You don�t deserve to live.  I am here to make sure that you rot in Hell.  It�s the worst of all sins to kill an angel, much less six as you have done.  I am merely an effect that you caused.�  Then with out warning Shintriasha tried to attack Kynoto.  Kynoto did not even try to block the attack because when Shintriasha�s sword hit his chest, it merely broke.  Kynoto grabbed Shintriasha by his throat and squeezed.  Shintriasha started flailing for breath as Kynoto started to crush his throat but he managed to break free somehow.  He fell to the ground, heaving for breath.  Then he stood up and realized that he could not win against such a being.  Kynoto was too strong.  Shintriasha fell to his knees and said,

�I�I give up.  You win Kynoto.  You�re much too strong for me.�

�Oh really, do you now?  Well that makes things much easier now doesn�t it.  Now die like the filth that you are!�  Kynoto delved his hand into Shintriasha�s chest, he intended to rip out Shintriasha�s heart but stopped.  Something didn�t feel right, Shintriasha was building up his power for something.  Kynoto let out a howl of pain.  Shintriasha had used his more latent abilities to rip off Kynotos� hand and it became a part of him.  He had been planning this from the start.  Shintriasha gained some of Kynotos� powers and was now strong enough to resist him.  He picked up his sword and repaired it with a motion of his hand.  He rushed Kynoto and slammed the sword through Kynoto�s stomach causing blood to run from the wound in front and in back.  He held the sword there till Kynoto slid off of it, landing on the ground with a sickening thud.  Kynoto was not as injured as he let on to be though for he got up after a few seconds and dusted himself off.  Then he stared Shintriasha in the eye and preformed a deadly attack that, if not done correctly, would easily kill everyone with in a ten mile radius.

�Soul Banisher!� He growled as he seized Triasha by his head.  Shintriasha saw Kynoto�s arm glow hot red and felt his hand burning through his skull.  Then a huge blast of Trianchu entered Shintriasha obliterating everything  inside of him, turning him into a mush filled skin bag.  Shintriasha�s life had ended, and now Kynoto collapsed.  He had used every last bit of his powers and fell into a deep coma-like state.  Weather he would ever revive from it would remain unknown for many decades. 

Celestial, after seeing this ordeal had committed suicide, clearly disturbed by the actions of Kynoto and Shintriasha.  Thus the only one who could shed light on this subject passed into the land of shadow to join her friends and sister.  Triasha however was still alive, but only barely.  He now made up his mind, he would join sides with Kynoto.  He had seen Kynoto�s true power and he had no intention of fighting with him for if he did it would mean certain doom for him.  But for now Triasha would hide in the shadows of time, until Kynoto awoke from his slumber.
