Akira
Akira was barely able to dodge the infernal stakes the vampire had summoned, canceling Red Devil as he did so as he stared at the his opponent. When Damian threw Sunye at him, Akira quickly sent out a few blood tendrils to catch her, than deposited her behind him as the vampire lord attacked, activating Red Devil again as he rushed forward to meet him. It only took a few seconds of engagement before Akira realized that he was completely outclassed by his enemy, especially with his main way of fighting effectively negated. Damien was just too fast for him, and while Red Devil kept him from being left in the dust, it didn't give him enough of a boost so that he could actually land a blow on the vampire; who in turn was able to rain down blow for blow upon Akira, whose only means of defense was to evade what ever was being sent his way.
This resulted in mostly glancing blows, but they still packed enough power to through Akira off balance, enabling the creature to score a few direct hits that would send him reeling, the only reason he was still standing was because he had his healing ability working over time on his insides, but that was also tiring him faster; this battle continuing to seem more and more hopless. After a certain point, Akira was running on sheer willpower, he couldn't just give up now. He had people counting on him right now, people who need him and Sunye to stop this asshole. Even now he could hear their struggle in the background, though he didn't dare take his eyes off his opponent to check on the rest of his team's condition, knowing if he did it'd be his end. If only I could get him to hold still. . . The thought brought up an idea, one that was risky and could also make his position even worse, but also might be able to let him score a shot on he bastard at least.
Akira waited for the exact right moment, when Damien came with a haymaker punch from the left to his head, obviously expecting him to try and evade the blow as he had been doing. However, Akira lifted up his arm, the red marks on it intensifying a split second before impact was made, a signal that he was hardening the veins in that arm. Even with that protection, the amount of pain that Akira was feeling from the limb told him that it was either fractured or broken, but that didn't matter for what he was going to do. Hopefully before Damien could reacted, Akira manipulated the blood in his arm so that it would grip Damian's arm in an iron grip, fingers digging into the flesh like claws. He would then focus all of his strength into his right arm and, accompanied by a roar of pain, anger, and frustration launch an all-out, Red Devil assisted punch straight towards Damian's face, hoping beyond hope that it would be able to do something against him.
After the attack, he would release Damian and attempt to back away from the vampire, his left arm hanging limply by his side and turning an unhealthy shade of purple. He had held the blood vessels for too long, and he could already feel his heartbeat accelerating to dangerous levels. He had maybe 5 more minutes of Red Devil bursts in him, if he was lucky, before it would end up sending him into cardiac arrest. "Do it now!!! Get him!!" He'd yelled to Sunye, regardless of if he escaped or not, cause he knew that this would be their best chance at stopping this creature.

Dylan eyes turn to Justeaze, then back to the girl's corpse, his fist clenched so tight that his knuckles were white before he closed his eyes and began to slow his breathing. He didn't focus on his surroundings, but on himself, entering a form of meditation on his inner self. He could feel the anger leave his body with each breath, and before long, he had mostly calmed down, though his fist still remained clenched as he rose up from beside the girl's body.
"Yeah, yeah, I'll keep my cool Justy, but if I ever found out who did this, I'll be sure to break just about every bone he's got . . . or at the very least fracture them."
