�Lightning Tornado,� Kynoto muttered under his breath as he began to spin. Kynoto was now spinning so fast that he was blurred and his sword was making a lethal hissing sound as it sliced through the air and rain. Kynoto began to move towards Kynotoishi who, fantasized by this attack, didn�t move. As Kynoto�s sword made contact with Kynotoishi, Kynoto stopped spinning. His sword was lodged into Kynotoishi�s arm and he could not remove it. Kynotoishi smiled his sinister smile that Kynoto had grown so accustomed to seeing and said in an equally sinister voice,
�Ahh, now you know exactly what powers the Dragon of Darkness gave to me,� He pulled Kynoto�s sword out of his arm so that it cut it off, then gave the sword to Kynoto. He let out a sudden yell of pain as his bloody socket, where his arm had been, bled even more. What happened next made Kynoto sick. From the bloody stump sprang a new arm. He flexed it for awhile then said, �There, good as new.� Then, as he stared at his newly grown arm, he threw his sword into Kynoto�s chest hoping to pierce Kynoto�s heart and it looked like he had. Then Kynoto�s body began to glow white. The sword dislodged itself from his body. The wound, instead of bleeding even more, healed itself as the sword clattered to the ground. �Huh, but�how did you� how did you do that? Stammered Kynotoishi.
�Ahh, you might have the power of Satan Kynotoishi, but I have the power of God on my side and since I have that power, I have regained all of my original powers. I can become a Shadow Angel again. That�s why I am as strong as you,� Kynoto said with a little smirk at the end.
�H-how did you know I was going to ask t-that?� Kynotoishi stammered.
�The mind is an easy thing to read once you know how to,� Kynoto said as his smirk changed into a smile. Kynotoishi looked on horrified to know that Kynoto could read his mind. Then they locked blades. Kynoto broke the blade lock and began to slash at Kynotoishi with all of his might. Blood and pieces of skin rained down upon the ground. Kynoto�s hand stained with the blood of Kynotoishi as the blood ran down the blood channel, staining the sword as it went, soaking into the hilt as it reached it. Then, out of exhaustion, they both fell to the ground. �It seems that we are equal in power, Kynotoishi. Therefore, the continuation of this battle is pointless, but you won�t let it be the end now, will you Kynotoishi and if that is the case then I will have to finish what Knifes started,� Kynoto said, raising his sword above high his head in a sweeping movement. He then leaped into the air, and with all his might, swung down toward Kynotoishi�s head. There was a deadly swish, followed by a loud thud that had issued from the ground near Kynotoishi. Another Thud was heard as Kynotoishi�s broken sword tip landed dangerously close to Kynoto�s foot. Their swords had been broken. Kynotoishi had lifted his sword just in time to deflect Kynoto�s and they had snapped due to the strain that Kynoto had put on them.
With both of them too tired to use Trianchu and both of their swords broken the battle had stalemated.
�Well, looks like you got what you wanted Kynoto, but mark my words, it isn�t over yet. The fates have told me things that not even you can fathom. Oh yes, the beginning has only just begun Kynoto, it has only just begun,� Kynotoishi cackled as he flew away leaving Kynoto deep in thought about what he had said. Kynoto decided that there were better times and places to ponder this and he went to help Triasha as well as to search for Knifes.
