I wake up in a hotel room and look around. Krory is nowhere to be seen, but the Finder is sitting on the other bed looking tired and facing the door. The two halves of my innocence sit beside me on the bed. I pick up one of the rods. The finder hears me move and looks over.
"Ah, you're awake!" He says, getting up.
"How long was I out?" I ask, getting up.
"Three hours at the most."
"Just three hours?" I ask, getting up. Surprisingly, I feel almost fully rested. I slightly wince at the movement, but it's not nearly as bad as before, a few sore muscles at the most. This confuses me because I know I hit a stone wall of the cave hard. "Where's Krory?" I ask, sliding the rods into the holsters on my belt.
"He went to go make sure we weren't followed. I stayed here to keep an eye on you in case you woke up." I nod and walk to the door, the Finder following. "Took almost an hour to get you here. I carried you while Krory had trouble dragging your innocence. He said each half weighed almost a hundred pounds." he says, looking at the two halves in their holsters.
"Really? They're almost completely weightless to me. Must be that the innocence doesn't want to be held by anyone but me, like most other tool type innocence weapons."
"Must be." the Finder nods, following after me. We walk out and look around to search for Krory. I look around and see a group of Akuma's souls gathered in one place as they, one by one, disappear.
"Found him." I say, running off. The finder runs after me as I take out the two pieces in case he needs help. We get there and the Finder stays behind, keeping a safe distance. I run over and slam the two halves together as he's having a bit of trouble with some level three Akuma. One of them sees me and shoots at me, leading half of them over to me. Spinning the staff fast, the shots are deflected. I jump up and slam the staff onto one's head, making it explode and send a chain reaction to the one beside it, causing them both to explode. Krory finally breaks the armor of one and kills it, going to work on the others. We finally kill off the rest of the Akuma quickly and deactivate our weapons, putting my two rods safely into my holsters around my waist.
"You seem to be doing better." He comments.
"Indeed I am, you still have the innocence?"
"Check your hood. Thought you could protect it better than I could. And honestly, Hevlaska scares me." He responds with a shudder, pointing at my hood.
"We all are at first." I chuckle, taking the innocence out of my hood. The Finder walks up, seeing as all the Akuma are gone.
"We should head back to the order before more Akuma arrive." The Finder suggests. Krory and I nod and they begin to walk towards the dock.
"That won't be necessary." I make a portal under us, dropping us into Komui's office. I get up and walk out to give Hevlaska the innocence. After taking the elevator down, Hevlaska takes the innocence piece then looks down at the two rods around my waist.
"May I see your new innocence activated. I knew I felt someone reaching new levels."
Nodding, I take the rods and activate it, slamming them together in order to activate it. All the innocence flows into the hollow center of the staff, making the fire in the spheres brighter with the extra innocence and hands it to her.
"Quite unusual," she begins, "Your innocence seems to have taken an outstanding growth in synchronization rate. It is now 106% synchronized, transformed from the All Rod to the All Staff."
"106%?!" I exclaim, confused, "Last you checked, two days ago, it was only 63%!"
"That is what is shocking to me. It feels as if you and your innocence have bonded, like you understand it's purpose." I think back to what happened just before it upgraded. I nod, understanding what happened to make it react this way.

Hey readers, just want to thank you for sticking through this story with me! If it wasn't for you guys, I wouldn't have made it this far and I thank you for reading it. Love you all!
P.S. I will be continuing to update as much as I can. It's really hard to do this without a computer and I only have my phone. So I apologize for any mistakes I make in the chapters.
