Countless hero's all of higher ranking walk the same trail as our two hero's, surly heading for the coordinates listed as well. Many of them are chatting while they walk the path forward, surly discussing what this unknown threat could be.

The late morning sun, its rays shining down upon all of the hero's makes for a spectacular display. The trees flow in a cool breeze, the morning winds howling as the calm atmosphere washes over everyone. If you pay attention, you might even notice the usual wildlife running freely within the nearby forest.

The calm, inviting atmosphere will soon be replaced. Replaced by a singular entity. What is this entity? Well, all the hero's will soon find out.

Arriving at the place sent to them, the hero's are greeted by multiple hero's from the associations, some guild leaders also making an appearance.

"There's so many hero's!" Kak-Yak whispers to Lyra. "Whatever this monster is must be pretty dangerous."

"Definitely, now shhh, let's hear what they have to say."

Standing center, a well dressed member of the association spoke up. "Hero's, today is a very...odd, day. The threat that has made itself known has requested for all high ranking hero's to gather here today. We would not have listened to such a random request...however, once you see the individual in question, you will know why you have been summoned here today."

Standing aside, an unknown humanoid entity steps forward, clad in unknown silver armor, its blue and red glowing colors from within its armor blending into the silver to create an odd appearance. Its face was sealed within a helm of some kind, masking all facial expressions.

"...Hero's...you gather here today...for an opportunity." The unknown humanoid gestured to the nearby field. Countless hero's stood lying defeated, but ultimately unharmed. "I seek hero's who can help me quell the growing monster threats. You're...hero, associations and guilds already work hard to quell the increase in monsters. However, the source itself must be dealt with. Not the monsters that crawl from it."

All the heros begin whispering to one another about this strange individual. Hero's more in tune with magic and arcane sensed something...off, about this strange individual.

"Without wasting anymore time...I shall get to the point. You will all fight me. At once. If I see that a certain individual or individuals have the qualities I seek, you will be given the choice to join and help me eradicate the growing threat within. It is not forced. All have freedom of choice...you don't even need to fight me if you don't want to...but we know that the latter is, too, the minority." They cross their arms. "Also I shall warn. I have yet to find any suitable hero's to help me...and I have bested many, many hero's through my search. So again, you will not be mocked for turning down a fight with I. Test, of I. I shall also point out that losing to me will not fall into play of my judgement. If I see that you are what I seek, then winning or losing matters not." Looking to the lead association member, they speak coldly and lowly. "One more thing...do not EVER, refer to me as a threat. I am no mindless monster. Do, you, UNDERSTAND?"

The loud, booming voice of the individual shook the air. "Y-yes, ahem, noted."

"Good. Good." They turn for the nearby field, walking to where a group of knocked out heroes lay.

Looking to Lyra, Kak-Yak spoke. "That guys so cool!! I mean do you see his armor?! Or her armor? Who knows!!! Oh! I bet they're secretly a hero in disguise."

"Who knows." Lyra watched as multiple heros contemplated on what to do here. Some outright declined, leaving. Which was actually most of them. "Someone able to defeat multiple, high ranking hero's all at once is...dangerous, to say the least. Extremely dangerous. Yet I don't even see a drop of blood anywhere."

"Duh!! Because he knocked him out! I mean they did say that themselves!!"

"Very astute observation Kak-Yak."

A minute passed, and most hero's outright left, leaving few behind. The ones who stayed ended up taking up this strangers so called "test."

"All at once. Fight me."

Gathering into one large group, the remaining hero's drew their weapons. All at once, they rushed the mysterious stranger. A hero drove their blade down toward the stranger. Tilting to the side, they grabbed the blade and punched the hero's wrist, the force going right through their armor.

A loud yelp rang out as the hero dropped his sword, the stranger catching it and snapping it in half. Under a matter of a seconds, the stranger already had the advantage. Multiple ranged weapons and magic bombarded the individual. Creating a magical shield, they leapt forward, firing down a swarm of non lethal, laser like beams which struck multiple hero's all at once. Absorbing the attacks from before, they resend out the attacks directed towards them, the hero's own bombardment of attacks firing off towards them.

A loud bang rung throughout the field as a small, non lethal explosion blew back most of the hero's. Resettling their resolves, they got right back up and engaged the individual once more.

"This is bad." Lyra said to Kak-Yak. "I don't know who this person is, but they're a danger. Anyone who could cause this much trouble for multiple hero's at once...is an issue, to say the least."

"He's so cool though!!! I wanna fight him now!!!"

"Out of the question."

Giving a goofy expression, he stood in front her, gesturing to the fighting going on. "I'm gonna fight him, watch me! But I'm not gonna join the others. I wanna do a one on one duel!!! Now THAT would be fun hehehehe."

"You can't be serious, he's literally fighting multiple S class heroes, all at once and hasn't even been hit by a single attack."

"Well why aren't you going help them then, hmmmmm Lyra?"

"..." Gritting her fangs, she looks back to the fighting going on. Lots of thoughts flood her mind, all telling her various things to do and to not do. Quickly deciding, she steps forward. "Stay here. I'm serious."

Before he could respond, she had already ran to join in, casting various magical spells to even the playing field.

(Kak-Yak pov.) Laaaaaaaaaame, I wanna fight him! Sooon, hehehehehehe, soooooon. Sooon I shall show all that Kak-Yak the great fears no foe!! I shall come out victorious!! Ahahahahahaha!!

(No pov.) Attack after attack, spell after spell, the hero's just delayed their own losses. One after another they fell unconscious, defeated by this...this stranger.

And thus, only one was left standing. Lyra, tired and exhausted from the many attacks and spells she's had to both dodge, as well as fire off.

"..." They fold their hands behind their back. "The last to join becomes the last woman standing. Congratulations. Perhaps you will be suitable enough to join me, as I exterminate the vile monsters plaguing these lands."

Panting, Lyra speaks. "I'm not interested in becoming someone's sidekick." *cough* "I sense an unnatural aura from you. You can't be a regular person. Who, are you?"

"I am like you all. A hero, here to purge the world of the monsters that multiple daily. But first...I need individuals to assist me with my quest. You are a suitable candidate."

"Again, the answers no to the sidekick gig."

"..." They gesture away. "You're free to leave anytime. I didn't force you to fight me after all. I merely gathered every hero in the area. To see if they fit my requirements."

"I know there's something you're not telling me. Us."

"Perhaps. But all will be said in due time to those who join me."

Falling to one knee, Lyra quickly uses a healing spell on herself. The stranger allows this, looking over to the other, conscious hero. "You there, the feline fellow. Come here."

Grinning, Kak-Yak quickly skips over to the stranger. "HELLO!!! I'm Kak-Yak, defender of justice and slayer of monsters!!!" He poses, something that's become normal for him now."

"I see." The individual studies the Suxarine. "...That coloring and patterns...are you-"

"Oh? My fur and colors and stuff? Yeah, looks cool huh?!"

"..." There was a slight change in the strangers voice. "You are..." They shake their head. "You're...pah, no matter. Hero, come at me. If you so choose that is."

*loud laugh* "You don't have to tell me twice!! Just gotta get ready, for the DUEL!!!"

The one before him does some stretches, quick pushups and other warm up exercises.

Sitting down on the ground, Lyra stayed silent, observing. Looking to her, Kak-Yak spoke up. "Don't worry Lyra!! I'll kick his butt into next week for ya!" He turned his attention back towards the stranger. "Alright, I'm ready!! Oh, wait, um, sorry if this is rude but um...are you like...a boy? Girl? Sorry, can't tell from your voice under the helmet."

"Male. Now enough talk, fight if you will fight."

Grinning wide, Kak-Yak unsheathes his sword, as well as equips his newly acquired shield. He begins to circle the individual, still wearing a confident smirk on his face.

The stranger just stared, waiting for Kak-Yak to do the first blow. Sure enough, he does, charging forward to attempt a strike. The stranger cast an unknown spell, blowing Kak-Yak backwards onto the ground below. Using the advantage, the stranger charged forward, both arms glowing bright as his hands and arms turned into two duel wielded swords of bluish light.

Unlike the others to be struck, Kak-Yak pounces back up, actually charging head first into the attack. He pushes his shield forward into the individual, quickly flipping behind them to deliver a blow to the back.

The stranger turned around quickly around, both of their blades clashing together as a loud sound rung out across the field. "Hehehehehe, I knew you'd try that! Man, you have the coolest armor! Where do I get it?"

"Silence!"

Swapping stances, Kak-Yak begun attacking in fast succession, using speed instead of power as his advantage. Noticing this, the stranger copied Kak-Yak's movements, matching his speed and tempo. Casting a ray of light, he fires it toward Kak-Yak before also firing a large, magical barrage of red lasers toward Kak-Yak.

Kak-Yak, being unbelievably lucky, managed to dodge every single one, actually using his shield to deflect the last laser back towards the stranger. This wasn't with drawbacks however, as the force of the laser blew him backwards, even with the shields defensive help.

Getting quite annoyed now, the stranger speaks. "You impress me Suxarine. You perhaps may be able to join me during my quest."

"Cool!!!"

"..." Head shake. "Enough games. It is high time I wipe that smirk off your face and ended this little dance."

In an instant, the stranger appeared behind Kak-Yak in a ray of light, grabbing him from behind and casting a lighting bolt down from the sky. The immense power and strength of the spell cause Kak-Yak to scream in pain, his body moving erratically from the spell. Tossing him aside, the stranger observed.

"While your display was impressive, you couldn't have ever hoped to best I. Do not worry, you have passed my...test. You'll be considered worthy enough to join me, as I-"

"Shut up."

Standing up, Kak-Yak coughed a bit, clutching the region of his heart before he spoke up, his goofy and carefree attitude gone completely. "Who says we're done here? I've still got a lot of fight left in me."

Slightly surprised, the stranger speaks. "You stand even still? I was sure that bolt would've rendered you unconscious."

"Looks like you need to train some more." Deep chuckle. "Perhaps you should just forget about this quest of yours and continue honing your skills."

"Silence!! You dare mock I, when you've failed to land even a single blow!!"

"Who says I don't have time to do it now?"

Taken from Royal Road, this narrative should be reported if found on Amazon.

Without warning, Kak-Yak immediately resumes his attacks, the stranger blocking and countering each. Yet despite this, Kak-Yak does the same, countering each of his attacks and dodging flawlessly.

The stranger does his trick once more, appearing behind Kak-Yak in a display of light. Not about to fall for the same trick twice, he quickly turns around, ducks the grab and pounces onto the individual, striking him multiple times in quick succession. To Kak-Yak's surprise, his attacks don't really...do, anything, his blade bouncing off of his opponents armor each hit.

Grabbing Kak-Yak by the throat, the individual stands back up, holding Kak-Yak up to the sky.

"You DARE strike my armor? I admit, I thought I would never EVER encounter someone from this...pah, ENOUGH!!! Just surrender, you cannot hope to best me!!"

Choking, Kak-Yak can only make gasping sounds, air leaving him as he struggled in his opponents grasp.

"Let him go!! He's choking!" Lyra shouted. "You've won! Let him go, you're going to-"

"Silence Wolfian!!! I will let him go in a b-"

Feeling something grab both his arms, the stranger turned back towards Kak-Yak, who had both his grip on his arms. Through unknown means, Kak-Yak managed to free himself from the strangers grasp, sending his opponent flying backwards against the fields grassy grounds.

"Oh you, you, HOW DAAAAARE YOU!! I am THROUGH, with this game!!!"

Standing back up, he speaks loudly, his voice booming and sending ripples through the air. "No longer shall I hold back!! Suxarine!! You will feel my wrath!! No one, NO ONE!!! Will ever beat I!!"

Instantly teleporting to Kak-Yak, he blast the Suxarine with a concentrated force of non lethal energy right to the face. Time seems to freeze, as Kak-Yak was sent flying backwards, landing right on his face as a loud thud sounded.

"...Now then...you fought well, Suxarine. Rest now."

The stranger went over and kneeled beside Kak-Yak. Casting some sort of light above himself, he begun to study Kak-Yak's aura.

"What are you doing?" Lyra walked over to him. "Stop that! You beat him, it's over!"

"Yes. However, I must extract this one's worth. To fuel my own strength against the enemy."

"What do you mean?"

He looks to her. "You, along with this Suxarine are the best heros I've encountered. So far that is. It is about time I revealed who I really am. The entire speech I did for the other heroes?! Merely a play, for I am an angel."

Staring in shock, Lyra could just stare. Angel? Did he say Angel, she thought.

"Let me explain. The increase in monster activity is due to a play within the realm that SHALL NOT, BE. NAMED!!! Someone, or something, is at play. I WILL, stop the things responsible for this! For it RUINED my reputation and status as an angel!!!"

"...Wait, so all of this fighting with hero's. It's to gather soul energy you say. Won't that hurt the souls you take?"

"I just said I don't take souls!! I only use the energy from them to power myself. For a fallen, forsaken angel is stripped of all their powers. I would have to wait countless decades and see the fall of civilizations just to have my powers return naturally!!! I shall NOT, wait that long for my revenge!!! As for the energy I take, it is ONLY, energy!!! It will eventually reshape itself within an individual."

Paw twitching, Kak-Yak begins to slowly stand up, much to the so called "angels" surprise. "How...HOW ARE YOU STILL CONSCIOUS?! That blast should have rendered you unconscious!"

Not saying a word, Kak-Yak simply stood. Unmoving. A stoic, dead stare set on his opponent.

"Do not give me that look!!! If you were awake the entire time, you know my goals are noble!!! So no need for battle anymore!!! Stand still so I may absorb some of your energy."

"..." He looked down to his paws, twitching. Shaking. "I feel...so...unnatural, right now. Like when people have an out of body experience. Is this what it feels like?"

"Stop talking!!! Your words mean nothing. Stand, still!"

A sudden blast of energy sends the so called angel flying backwards. Lyra stares at Kak-Yak, who just shot a devastating amount of energy from the palms of his paws. He begun to step towards the angel, who quickly regains his stance. Before both Lyra's and the fallen angels eyes, Kak-Yak's fur colors and patterns begin to merge into one. A bright blinding light engulfs the field as the sky turns dark, winds starting to howl.

"What manner of power is this?!"

The light dispersing, Lyra and the fallen angels gaze went back to the Suxarine, whose color and patterns was changed to a singular one. That of the full moon.

"...Ahaha...hahahahaha!! I see what this is!! Full moon birthed blessing! Now I remember! You think your blessing will stop me?! An angel?! I am divine!!! I am pure!! You are but a mortal with your species gods blessing!!! You cannot hope to best me in combat!!"

The winds howled, the Suxarine's expression stoic and devoid of all emotion. His usual green and purple eyes were replaced with a beautiful blue color, his now white fur glistening in the moon lit sky. His tail swayed back and forth as he continued holding his gaze, his body still shaking due to the sudden transformation. It was clear that this sudden, new transformation was taking a serious toll on his body, although with the current situation, no one really notices.

"Enough of the staring!!! Let's finish this!!! I only wanted to lure you hero's here so that I may extract the energy from your unconscious forms!!! You would awake with your memories of our encounter wiped, but your souls and spirits would be fine!!! You, would, be, FINE!!! FINE!!! BUT NO!!! You have to continue to be STUBBORN!!! There is only one way to drive the point home now!!! By using lethal means!!!"

Calling forth a blade made entirely of divine energy, the fallen angel sprouts forth large, intimidating wings merged with his armor as he flys upward. "I shall only injure you to the point you cannot fight back, then I shall heal you and take but a bit of your soul energy!!! Afterwards, I shall erase all memory of this encounter with I from thee mind!!! Same goes for you Wolfian!!!"

In an instant, a static bolt of electricity lit up the field, Kak-Yak appearing right above the angel as he shoots a large, devastating blast that illuminated the sky and shook the very region. Teleporting out of the way, the angel grabbed Kak-Yak and drove his blade right through the Suxarine. Well, that's at least what he thought, as the fake he stabbed distorts into a cloud of mist as the real Suxarine appeared below him, driving a devastating punch to the angels gut, followed up with a swing of his sword to his body multiple times in quick succession. Unlike before, this transformation of his seemed to grant the sword he was holding unknown energy, causing the strikes to actually damage this time.

With a final, devastating blow, Kak-Yak sent the fallen angel crashing back to the ground.

"GAH!!!" He quickly got back up. "YOU CANNOT BE THIS STRONG TO THE POINT YOUR PUNCHES GO THROUGH MY ARMORS DEFENSE!!!" Teleporting near Kak-Yak, the angel drove the sword downwards towards him, although this was a feint attack, as he maneuvered out of the way quickly of Kak-Yak's counter, punching him hard in the nose before flying backward.

Clutching his nose, blood poured down his face, dripping onto the ground below. He removed his paw from his nose, blood now streaming down his face. It was clear that punch severely injured Kak-Yak's nose. Badly. For the first time, Lyra saw genuine hatred on Kak-Yak's face, although his expression...it looked more of a concentrated hatred. A calm, yet focused tone of anger.

Shaking her head, she quickly made her way by his side, casting a healing spell to heal him of his injury. "If I recall, you didn't go against the idea of fighting more than one hero. The countless unconscious bodys littering the field say so. So you know what? I'm not sitting around anymore." She looks to Kak-Yak. "C'mon, let's work together to take down this supposed angel."

His bright, shining eyes stares into hers. He gives a quick smile. "Hero's stand together. With this...power, of mine, and your skilled magic, we're sure to take him down."

The two give a quick high five before turning to face the angel, who's quite beyond mad now. "Combining efforts won't stop an ANGEL OF GOD!!!! What do you not understand?!?! I'm trying, to HELP!!! All you have to do is surrender so I can take but a bit of your soul energies!!! Look at your fellow hero's!!! They don't have a lick of an injury on them!!! Just, surrender!!!"

The dark sky howls, a deadly storm now brewing from the spectacle. The angel flys upward, casting down divine rays of light towards the two hero's.

Kak-Yak meets the angel in the air as Lyra helps with magical spells, helping Kak-Yak by giving him very helpful defense and attack related buffs.

Loud, thundering strikes sound through the region and sky as both the Suxarine and Angel exchange deadly blows. Our Suxarine hero makes sure to do everything in his power to divert his foe's attention from Lyra to him.

Lifting both palms upwards, five magical swords rip themselves from the ground, twirling in a tornado like fashion as divine energy ripples through the entire sky and air. The angel fires barrage after barrage of his spells towards the two, using his tornado like blades to close in on the two at high speeds.

Kak-Yak's body seems to move and think on its own, creating countless barriers made up of unknown energy to protect both him and Lyra. Right after casting this, he quickly bolts for the angel, clashing with him once more. Catching a punch, the angel retaliates by trying to fire soul spears from behind, aiming to strike the Suxarine in the back. Whilst quickly casting this, the angel forms his left hand into a pure lightning blade, quickly driving it up towards Kak-Yak. Moving without thought, Kak-Yak's uses his own caught fist within the angels grasp to flip himself and the angel onto the ground. Quickly realizing his plan, the angel redirects the soul spears towards Lyra.

Lyra cast a defensive shield as she suffers the blows of the devastating soul spear one by one, her magical powers starting to weaken significantly.

Returning back to the other two, Kak-Yak and the angel was exchanging blow after blow, Kak-Yak's blows denting and causing damage to the armor of the angel, whilst he suffered wounding and injury from the angels glowing blades. Blood trickled from the Suxarine's wounds, coating the ground below in crimson blood.

"You shall NOT heal him, Wolfian!!!"

The angel feints an attack for Kak-Yak and sends a blast of energy to Lyra. The blast is too fast for her to react in time, sending her flying onto the ground with a loud thud. She struggles to stand, as she feels her magic energy inside of her be damaged severely.

Before being able to land an actual blow on her, Kak-Yak grabs the angel and forces him to look at him, driving a blow into the angels helm. The force ripples through the air, causing a small shockwave to sound through the area.

Non moving, the angel counters with multiple strikes to Kak-Yak's stomach, finishing with a kick that sends him flying back. Despite showing no signs of any damage from the attack at first, the angel falters after a few seconds, holding his now cracked side of his helm.

"How...HOW?!?! How can a mere mortal damage my armor?!"

"Maybe you should try dodging."

Turning to Lyra, the angel speaks loudly. "YOU DARE MAKE JOKES TO ME?!"

Shaking, Lyra manages to finally stand up. "All this fighting is really unnecessary. Why don't you just ASK people for energy? You're an angel you say right? Just kindly ask hero's for some of their energy so you can, quote on quote, help with the increase in monster activity."

"SILENCE!!! You know NOTHING of my plan!!! My restrictions!! I WILL have my revenge, I WILL stop this!! The truth of it will be revealed, and I will rejoin the beyond world." He clenches his fist. "You think I WANT to fight?! I don't!!! I merely wanted to pretend to be someone I'm not so that I may gather the energy from the battle worn souls of experienced heroes! I am NOT the villain!!!"

Hearing him stand back up, the angel turned back to Kak-Yak, then to Lyra. They grew closer and closer each step taken. "ENOUGH!!! LETS END THIS!!!"

The moon cast down its rays upon the battlefield, Kak-Yak and Lyra looking to one another and giving a quick nod before turning back to the angel. Together, the two heros rushed the angel, attacking together to overwhelm as the angel formed two blades, attacking both of them at the same time, casting forth attacks to fire upon them.

Working together, Lyra and Kak-Yak began to overwhelm, damaging the angels armor with their combined attacks. Despite being weakened from the blast from before, Lyra continued to support, albeit with weakened and lesser versions of spells.

With a final combined blow, Lyra drove two magical daggers into the angels now exposed wings, while Kak-Yak quickly charged a devastating attack, his fur lighting up in the night sky as his eyes changed to a pure white. He launched a focused combination attack, blow after blow cracking the chest armor on the angel. Then, with a final surge of energy, Kak-Yak embues his sword with devastating power and slashes it down from the angels helm to his chest armor. The aftermath of the slash causes a small explosion to occur, knocking Kak-Yak and Lyra back a ways as the angel seethed in anger.

"THAT, IS, ENOUGH!!!"

A burst of divine energy swept across the battlefield, immobilizing both Kak-Yak and Lyra. Teleporting to her, the angel grabs her by the neck and chants a prayer.

"Go to sleep now." He says after the final words of his quick prayer.

Tossing the now unconscious Lyra aside, he shifts his gaze to Kak-Yak. "You...YOU!!! Now you fight me alone once more, Suxarine!!!"

Looking to Lyra's unconscious yet unharmed body, he breathes a sigh of relief. "You know, you're really not at all that evil. I just don't understand why you can't just do what you want without knocking heros out."

"Be quiet!!! You know nothing!!! Of why I have to do what I do, which to you might seem like a simple, straightforward EXTRACTION PROCESS!!!"

Now facing him alone, Kak-Yak readies himself, an aura of moonlight surrounding his form as his body attacked on its own.

A bright gold aura surrounded the angel as he, too, lunged forward, firing blast after blast of lightning toward his opponent as he wielded two, glowing bright swords that lightened up the night.

In an almost dance like way, the two fought and fought, Kak-Yak damaging the angel, and the angel damaging Kak-Yak. With a strike downwards, the double swords wielded by the angel slashed against the body of the Suxarine. Although heavily injured, he retaliated with a burst of latent energy which causes the angel to stumble. Using this advantage, Kak-Yak resumed his attacks, combining attacks from his sword and those of his newly acquired ability's.

With a loud, angry scream, the angel met Kak-Yak's attacks with his own, the sounds of their duel sounding throughout the entire region, lighting up the night sky.

Enraged beyond all measure, the angel summoned forth devastating energy which began to expand rapidly, lighting up the sky in a golden hue as he sent the mass of energy directly for Kak-Yak, firing off fast beams of energy towards him afterwards.

The speed of the attack was unlike anything he's ever seen before. Luckily for him, his own body reacted faster than his eyes did, firing off a powerful blast of energy made up of the moons rays. The clash of both his and the angels moves caused a devastating reaction, creating a large explosion which sent both of them flying backwards.

Heavily wounded and bleeding, Kak-Yak stood up, despite everything. He was panting heavily, his injuries starting to take it's toll on him

As for the angel, he stood there, fuming and enraged. Parts of his armor were severely damaged, and other parts gone completely. Example being his dark, black wings, which were now exposed clearly, blood dripping from them.

The two stared at one another. Silent. They both have clearly sustained serious injuries. Although it was clear Kak-Yak suffered more. That being that he had an entire puddle of blood under him, staining the grass beneath him.

"...You..." The angel clenched his fist. "You...you..." Shaking with anger, the angel folded his wings around himself, flying into the air. "Your blessed powers rival those who have come before you. None within your kind with the blessing of Aza-Riel, has EVER, fought an angel. Nor has actually achieved success in DAMAGING them. You...are different. Make no mistake. We will meet again. And next time, it will be no tie! I leave your memories of this encounter intact, as well as your wounds!! Do not worry, my light will numb the pain and render the wounds non fatal. Let it be a reminder of our battle!!! Farewell, strong one. Until we meet again."

In a burst of light, the angel vanished, leaving nothing of his presence behind. Being engulfed in light, the injuries on Kak-Yak numbed, although the pain was still there. A little reminder of the battle he fought.

The night sky shifted back to the morning, as the sky turned bright once more, the suns rays shining down upon the land. Kak-Yak's transformation reverted, the Suxarine returning to his usual state. Collapsing onto the ground below, Kak-Yak fell unconscious in a puddle of his own blood.
