[Part two, "Twilight"]

As the sound of thunder and flashes of lighting filled the chamber, Krion's shadow began spliting into two. One with angel wings, the other with devil ones...but Krion's body remained in his human form. Realizing that Krion had finally reached the final stage of his powers, the God Slayer gave a slight smile before explaining to his puzzled foes.

"I see you have reached Twilight one with two shadows...unfortunately I meant it when I said none can pass."

Upon hearing that, Krion drew his twin blades and joined them together to form a dual bladed spear quite similar to his opponent's. Holding up his spear with one of his hands in a way that it is parallel to the floor and placing his other hand directly above the other with two of his fingers closed. Krion said to Hien, "Go...his mine."

"You sure?" Hien asked as he too drew his sword.

"Yes, and take this to our father..." Krion replied, and placed Kenyin's sword into the palm of his brother.

However just as Hien was about to take his leave, a glowing sphere of light energy flew in his direction...

"What bold words...and to have taken Kenyin's sword...but like I said before, no one can past."

Slicing the sphere of energy with Kenyin's sword of light, Hien smiled and commented, "Remember what we used to say Krion? If we say we can..."

"Then we most definitely can!" the two brothers finished together as they both made their way towards their goals.

Krion quickly moved up to occupy Isenyu as Hien made his way towards the door leading to the stairway, but before Krion could even clashed his weapon against his foe...Isenyu fired another sphere of energy towards him. This time it was bitch black and spreaded like shadows. Making a leap into the air Krion dodged the sphere and rebounded back from the wall towards Isenyu. Getting more and more annoyed at their persistance, Isenyu slammed his fully charged claw at Krion and released the energy at the same time, blasting the heretic through the front door he had just came from and out into the rain.

As he turned back as fast as he could to stop his other foe, he shouted towards him, "None can past!"

Hastily he spun his spear in a circular motion above his head, white and black energy waves were then released one by one throughout the room before finally releasing a tornado of black and white energy towards Hien.

Hien was caught by surprise and got blown back by the tornado of energy heading towards him, unlike wind...the energy emitted by the tornado hurt in many different ways. The light energy not only reminded him of his lost innocence but also burnt his skin, the dark energy on the other hand brought to him his fear of being alone and slashed his body with a coldness that made it seem ever so painless. Gripping Kenyin's sword that represented the light and his father's the darkness, Hien made a leap into the air and entered the center of the tornado. There he spun with all his might in the opposite direction the tornado moved, thus breaking the vortex and neutralising the dark and light energy within.

Meanwhile Krion had flew back up and was now clashing his weapons against Isenyu with a rain of wet feathers left behind from his entry. Their weapons never seemed to slash anyone as, regardless if they sepearated their spears or used them as one...their weapons clashed with each blow they unleashed and created a slight and soothing glow of dark and light...
Their battle was getting tiresome with no clear winner, as even with Krion launching attacks on Isenyu, the God slayer never seemed to miss the chance to launch his own attacks on Hien. Soon Hien grew tired of trying and decided to finish off the God slayer before heading up. Extending the sword of light, he made a mighty leap into the air before crashing down his weapon on Isenyu.

Isenyu soon found himself attacked by not only dual swords but now an added extendable sword of light. "Perfect." he commented as he began swirling his spear again, as the swirling spear defended each attack successfully... the claws of his weapon glowed brighter and brighter with dark and light energy. Soon his weapon shone as bright as it ever could and by sepearating the spear once more, Isenyu swung down the two claws at the two brothers. The side filled with light at Krion, while the one with darkness at Hien. Two massive waves of energy was released in the split second the weapons touched the ground.

Stunned by the power of the attack, Krion and Hien found themselves with nowhere to hide and having no choice but to confront the waves. Hien extended Kenyin's sword and quickly created a giant sword to block the darkness. Krion on the other hand had no such defense, instead he fought back by unleashing his own wave of dark energy in a form of a cross. As all the energy within the chamber collided, a massive explosion ocurred...creating a thick fog of dust. "Your're making it very clear aren't you? The real reason why you want us both in the same room." Krion commented in the fog of dust.

"So...you've noticed, but I suppose it won't work anymore huh?" Isenyu's voice asked in a dissappointed manner as he realized that in this fog Hien would have already entered the door he tried to protect.

As the dust slowly settled, Krion replied in a taunting manner, "Without a doubt, as it's very clear to me now...you too have achieved Twilight. But in a different way from mine, your light and darkness are balanced...in such a way that inorder to utilize the both sides you need to gather the two different energies seperatly."

Upon hearing his foe's understanding, Isenyu gave out a short laugh and prepared to battle this worthly opponent...

Meanwhile in the highest chamber above, Ledius too gave out a short laugh as he had been observing their battle closely on a giant tv screen equipped with all around sound system. Reina on the other hand was just about to leave, when her father's voice stopped her.

"And where may you be off to?"

"To meet up with Hien of course." Reina replied annoyingly as she realized where Krion got his habit of asking stupid questions with obvious answers from.

"I would advise you not to go but then again you wouldn't have listened anyway...as the next chamber Hien's heading to...is where the angel I've been talking about is...for with each step Hien takes the closer the crimson angel's awakening."

"All the more reason I must." Reina replied calmly as she exited, leaving her father alone in his peace.
