Akuma

Akuma had been reading a book for the entirety of the detention, Dr.Jekyl and Mr.Hyde to be presice. The irony of him reading such a work was not lost on him and actually made it one of his favorite books to read. But then a giant fist of stone broke down the wall, the floor underneath him disappeared, and chaos abounded everywhere. But Akuma only knew one thing for certain: The Ghoul had appeared, and he wasn't dead yet. [i]Let's fix that, shall we?[/i] Akuma thought with a psychotic look in his eye as he utilized what little of his blood that he could to from a ball that he he used to bash his way out of the ice sphere, taking in total about 3 hits before he opened a hole big enough for him to get out.

Quickly rising up from the ruins of the classroom, he used his blood tendrils to sling himself from building to building like a macabre Spiderman, his eyes scanning them until he found what he wanted. It was a small square outlined in a green light only Vigilants could see, a spell crafted by one of their magician members. He quickly swung himself inside of it, the opening slamming shut behind him as he did so.

Inside, he would find a few steel canisters etched with preservation runes and a box. Akuma quickly stripped out of his uniform and opened the boc to find his Red Devil outfit, neatly folded with the mask sitting right on top of it. These hidden supply caches had been Akane's idea, a place to store an extra blood as well as extra Vigilant uniforms for each of the members. The thought of his fallen subordinate fueled the vengeful rage he held within. A vengeance he hoped would soon be sated.

He quickly put on the uniform, it was black, skintight top with an open area around the lower back, some metal plates sewn into the front for protection with only slight reduction in flexibility, and the Red Vigilant's insignia emblazoned over the heart, a stylized rendering of an Oni mask done in dark red, only one eye being visible. The pants were looser and easy to move around in, and his mask was the last thing to be put on. The mask it's self had a voice modulator, making Akuma's voice sound deeper and distorted. The part that was suppose to be cover8ng his eye was actually made of a special one way glass, giving the illussion that he couldn't see from it. A mistake that he was glad to let his enemies commit.

Finally, he opened up a container of blood, the runes keeping it fresh, and drew it out, forming two tendrils from it that attached thmselves to his lower back, repeating the process again for his other side.This gave him four tendrils of blood to use before he had to use his own. Ready for action, he exited the secret outpost and entered the city again as the Red Devil, the fading light of the afternoon sun as it descended into twilight, gave him a fitting sky dyed red as blood.

He found and followed Ria's ice trail to where she and the ghoul were fighting. He slung himself high into the air, forming aone tendril into a ball before launching it at the ground in front of the White Chapel Ghoul. It would burst into a red cloud of highly acid mist, which rapidly ate away at anything(or one) that got caught in the 10 meter diameter of the cloud. He would then land on the side of a building, wayching from up high to see what would happen and focusing the majority of the cloud on the Ghoul. It would seem to follow him, as Akuma followed the sound of his heart to guide it. Ria could be got in the cloud as well, but she wouldn't suffer any serious damage if she left quick enough. Her clothes would be in tatters, but given her usual lack of dress, he hardly thought it mattered.
