Its his personal computer, and he hasn't been on it for days. He has me run weekly checks for any intrusion of any sort, and I've noticed random files popping up, without a traceable source. His computer can only recieve, send, and download files if someone is operating it. So, where is he?
I have no idea. That's pretty suspicious, though. Have you looked into them?
We just wanted to make sure it was okay for her to be here and take part in the trials. Rhythm might have better questions for you, though. Rhythm?
Has anyone seen Shinii around? I need to talk with him. I found some peculiar files on his computer, as if someone had just recently put them on there.
Well, I mean, people put files on computers all the time.
You are a wonderful editor. Thanks. Wish I could edit my own stuff but it's a lot harder than editing other people's.
A young human with brown hair and green eyes found himself walking through the slums of Millennial City alone. Normally he would avoid such places, especially alone, but today's circumstances decided otherwise. The machine shop he needed was here, and angels were rarely around due to the relatively higher influence of demons. Besides, today was Zee and his monthly day away from each other. As he walked away from his finished errand, Kain thought back to the day before.
--------------------
A spirit and a human were at a table in the alley by their home. An angel stood before them, a sword in hand and malevolence in his eyes. His beautiful white wings belied the menacing expression he wore. Kain and Zadkiel ("Zee," as Kain called her) stood facing each other, ignoring this threat as they conversed.
"I'll handle this one. You focus on taking your turn." Zadkiel said.
"No way. I've been needing actual combat to make sure I've really mastered my new technique. I'll fight him."
"No, I'll fight him."
This back and forth quickly devolved into bickering and name calling, slowly deteriorating the angel's motivation from his righteous mission into simple anger.
"Enough!" he called, finally at his limit. "I will retrieve the mantle of the holy Zadkiel, regardless of whether I must kill you both or just its holder! Prepare yourselves!"
Zadkiel began to step forward but was cut off by Kain throwing a knife, Zadkiel's soulshard, at the angel. It flew past, missing its target, and the angel began to laugh. That is, he began to. Kain teleported to the still flying soulshard and grabbed it just as it before it escaped his reach, immediately cutting into the back of the angel's neck, ending the laughter.
("Grabbed it just as it before it" is a mistake, I'm sure.)
"Yes! Perfect execution, and perfect execution!" Kain exclaimed as the angel fell to the ground. "Too bad that he didn't move; I might as well have been practicing on a target." He sat back down at the table and scanned the chessboard. "Damn. I can't see a way out of this. I think you win.
"You know, for someone who wants to know everything, you sure pass up a lot of chances to learn things. Now we don't know if he was working on his own or if there are others after us." Zadkiel moved to reset the board, and they began again.
Just have to make sure everybody agrees with it. I mean, I don't really care, since with all the lords throwing ideas at me in my head, I can never even tell what I'm going to do next unless I'm working in Harmony mode.
Maybe you're the same person. Then you merge, and one stream of consciousness ends. If one of you is a fake, one of you gets deleted. Or we have two Rhythms forever.
Wait, no. If one of you is a fake, then you're probably not actually Rhythm. Never mind. I'm completely wrong.
