An Old Power Revived
�Knifes, why are you doing this?!� Triasha�s voice rang out, a hint of fear in it.
�Why? Why?! You want to know why?! Alright I�ll tell you why! Everyday that I trained with you, Rouin, and Kynoto I got stronger. Soon I became as strong as Kynoto. Then you had the audacity to let Kynotoishi find me. Since then, I have been learning that hate is the ultimate power. I will prove it to you, right here and right now,� Knifes uttered as he focused his power into his fists. Triasha, having not had a need to fight in a very long while, powered up as far as his body would let him. Triasha knew that he had no hope of winning the battle that was about to take place, yet he stood firm and did not waver as he stared into Knifes, now evil, eyes. Kynoto was about to say something when he felt Knifes� power flare up. He knew that Knifes was going to kill Triasha, but he didn�t know how bloody this battle would become or how much life would be lost in the process.
Knifes looked at Triasha then muttered, �Power of darkness come to thee, let me use you, let me bind with you.� His eyes turned black and his power soared. Knifes now attacked Trisha, who was not expecting it. Knifes now drew his sword, not the one of Chronos but one of an insanely great evil. The sword slid through Triasha as if he were wet paper, nearly pierceing his heart. �Heh, not so tuff with out Kynoto aren�t we, eh? �Tis a pity that Kynoto has to watch you die like the weakling that you really are. Yes, that�s right Triasha, Kynoto is right over there. If it weren�t for my force field he�d probably be helping you, but I have other plans for him,� Knifes muttered as he chuckled evilly. Knifes had failed to notice that Triasha was no longer in the spot where he had fallen, but up in a nearby tree. Triasha has left a clone in his place to divert Knifes attention. He took careful aim then shot like an arrow from the tree, holding his sword out in front of himself, aimed directly at Knifes neck. The sword point touched Knifes�s neck and shattered.
�Bu�but how?� stammered Triasha in confusion. Knifes replied, his voice tainted with glee,
�Hahaha, you see, nothing can hurt me. Now watch as I blow you away with my energy.� Knifes powered up further till his power started to emminate from his body. Once he had ripped a tree from the ground, he focused on Triasha, who sustained the full blast. He was a little winded, but that was it. Triasha ran at Knifes with angry eyes. Knifes had a very simple, yet effective, method to stop this kind of attack. He released a good portion of his powers into an explosion. It engulfed Triasha, and everything with in a five mile radius. Kynoto had left, sensing that this would happen. This, to the great disappointment of Knifes, didn�t kill Triasha. Triasha had a lot of stamina, and he also had the power to back it up.
�Dureamas Hesful Telefit!� Triasha boomed. This attack was a basic suicide attack, but it was extremely powerful, and hard to dodge, yet Knifes let the attack slide pass him with ease. Triasha didn�t not die from it, however, since this was a very low level attack. He got up and turned around to see Knifes charging at him. With some fancy swordsmanship Triasha evaded the attack with only a gash in his right arm. Knifes, however, was not done yet. He caught Triasha completely off guard as he ripped upward with his sword, severing Triasha left hand. Triasha screamed in pain, howling into the deep crimson sky. Then he stopped, as if he had been silenced. His eyes began to glow.
�Wha..what is this?� Triasha stammered as he felt a strange power flow throughout his body, �This is incredible. This power, its something I have never felt before. Ahh, I know what it is,� he said as his voice deepened, �Haha, my demonic powers have returned. Now, let�s even things out, shall we Knifes?� Knifes stood there in awe. This power, he had never seen it before, was too immense for Knifes to begin to comprehend it.
�H-how did you get all that power?� Knifes asked feebly. Then he remembered what Kynoto had said long ago about Triasha and himself. That Triasha held in him a demon, a demon of great power; Shintriasha. Triasha�s voice deepened even more and his power went up by fifty thousand, which was already one hundred and twenty thousand higher then Knifes power.
�Heheh, I have been revived once again. Now, the first person I have seen in over four hundred years, and instead of talking to him, I find that I have the desire to kill him. Interesting, a mere boy fighting Triasha as his equal, yet I do sense something strange about you young one. Never the less, I will kill you.� Shintriasha�s face was now endowed with anger. �Haha, try this on for size little one, Doom Blaze!� He yelled as his hands began to glow red. A ball formed around each one as he put them out in front of himself and pointed them at Knifes. The balls shot of his hands and buried themselves deep into the ground in front of Knifes.
�Haha, you missed, you old foo�nooo!� Knifes yelled in a panic stricken voice.
�Now you see my true power,� Shintriasha laughed as the ground under Knifes exploded into fire, burning, or so he thought, Knifes into powder. Once the fire had gone out, nothing was there. Then Shintriasha turned around to leave when Knifes punched him out of no where. Staggering backward, Shintriasha mumbled,
�Wow, your something special kid. Not even Kynoto could have withstood that.� He had blood coming out of his mouth from the injury that Knifes had caused him. He spat a couple of times; spit, blood and a few teeth came out of his mouth. �Ha, well then boy, shall I start to use my more powerful attacks, or will you beat me in three punches?� Shintriasha said sarcastically.
�That sounds like a good idea. Now, prepare yourself Shintriasha, you�re in for a ride,� Knifes said smirking as he prepared to use a very strong attack to weaken up Shintriasha. �Power of light combine with me, make me one with the darkness!� He shouted to the heavens. He began to glow with a white light. Since Shintriasha was apart of Triasha, he remembered that Knifes was already using the powers of darkness. This amazed him that a mere boy could use the powers of light and dark, something that seldom master fighters could do, at the same time.
�W-wait a minute. How can you use Light and Darkness at the same time, your just a kid!� Shintriasha interjected.
�Now, that was a long and hard road, but now is not the time for talk. I will tell you after I have beaten you. Here I come!� Knifes roared. He held out both of his fists. One was engulfed in darkness, while the other was surrounded by a white glow.
�Oh, this is going to hurt,� Shintriasha murmured as Knifes� hands came into contact with his body he felt his skin rip. A sudden pain erupted from his back. Something was wrong, something was not right. What would happen next would baffle even the wisest Lore Lords for years to come.
