Okay, Second half is done. Hope you all like it!
Chapter 1 Part 2:
This is an Akuma
"Just for a second!"
"Absolutely NOT!" Moa yelled. I giggled. The cat meowed.
"What's so funny?" Moa and Allen asked.
"I laugh in the face of fury!" I said, trying to contain my laughter.
Just after Sundown that same day…
Allen sighed, lost in thought looking out a window, while I sat across from Moa, who was looking for something in a book.
"So tell me, Allen and Sophia, how confidant are you two that this is an actual Akuma?" Moa asked. Allen gasped a little, startled by her question.
"Huh?" Allen and I questioned.
"This encyclopedia says that Akuma are imaginary demons that were created by ancient civilizations to explain illness and natural disasters. You're telling me that's our killer, some make-believe demon? I'm not buying it." Moa said.
"The encyclopedia is talking about something entirely different than what we're looking for," I explained.
"Akuma is also the name of a weapon," Allen said.
"Weapons specifically created to target mankind are the Akuma we're concerned with finding." I explained.
"They take on the form of humans so they are very difficult to find," Allen told Moa. All of a sudden, the door swung open to reveal a man in a wheelchair. I guessed it was Mark. He started to scream, a really strained scream.
"Mark, are you okay? What's wrong?" Moa asked, kneeling down in front of him. He took in labored breaths. My right eye twitched a little, and changed. I could see a soul, one of a skeleton bride. Oh no, an Akuma! Allen had seen the soul too. Mark's eyes were ready to pop right out of his skull. He half-screamed, half-wheezed a bit more. His hair flew up and he started to float and change into an Akuma.
"What's happening? Oh my God," Moa asked quietly. Allen ran forward to grab Moa before she was shot. As the Akuma started to shoot, I became blind, and grabbed Allen's arm. We flew backwards. Nice catch.
"Moa, Sophia, can you here me? Mitsu? Are any of you hurt?" Allen asked.
"Owwwwww…Next time, we should seriously get something nice and soft to land on. Owww…"I moaned, after landing on the concrete. Mitsu yipped like crazy, because she really doesn't like Akuma.
"Okay, you two are fine. I already should have known that. Moa?" He asked again.
"Where are we?" Moa answered his question with a question.
"We're back at the church," Allen said, sounding hurt, and breathing heavily.
"Allen, tell me where it hurts," I demanded.
"No time. The Akuma?"
"Oh. Right."
"What's that? Don't tell me you actually caught the bullet," Moa said reaching towards it. Allen moved it out of her reach.
"Don't touch it. This came from an Akuma. Each bullet is filled with an extremely destructive virus. They use a defense system where they transform their bodies into guns, making them highly effective killers," Allen explained, while setting the bullet on the ground.
"You make yourself sound like you're not human Allen. You really do," I said. He ignored me and continued.
"After a bullet hits you it takes less than a minute for the virus to eat away your insides." The cat gathered a large amount of Akuma stars, started to disappear, and exploded.
"We couldn't save you kitty," I said, sad Mitsu new feline friend died, "I'm sorry."
"So then, tell me what happened to Mark," Moa said sadly, almost afraid to know.
"Well," Allen said, standing, "Akuma take over a dead person's body to blend in with society. That wasn't your brother Moa. An Akuma had already killed him and taken over his corpse," Allen continued, taking off his jacket, while I took out my daggers, and set Mitsu on the ground, so she could be her normal Big Wolf self and help us with Akuma Mark.
"So you mean that Mark… was already dead?" Moa asked.
"Come here," Allen whispered. He grabbed Moa's hand and pulled her around a corner, behind him, while big wolf Mitsu and I followed suit. The Akuma came in through a wall.
"Hey! What in the hell are you two doing here?" Oh great, Captain idiot and his merry crew of dummies. We turned around to see them run over.
"Captain!" Allen exclaimed.
"My god, What the hell!" He shouted at the Akuma, "Men! Fire!" They all shout their guns at the Akuma, but I knew that they wouldn't survive if the didn't leave. Now.
"You're stupid guns are freaking useless! You need to get out of here while you can!" I screamed at them. The officers gasped when the Akuma pointed it's guns at them.
"Oh no!" Moa said quietly. The Akuma fired like a machine gun, all the men screamed in pain and knowledge that they were going to die. And they did. Allen held Moa back during this.
"Captain? Oh my god!" Moa exclaimed, tears starting in her eyes. I let down my shield. Moa turned to the Akuma, "You damn monster! Why did you have to kill them? Tell me!"
"It can't hear you! Look, it's not doing it because it wants to. It's programmed to do nothing but seek evolution through murder," Allen said.
"So you're just a mindless killing machine!" Moa shouted, pointing a finger at the Akuma.
"No, they're living weapons who carry around the souls of others. These souls are controller by The Maker and are conscious to what's happened to them. They're left to agonize over their sins, fully aware of their situation, but unable to do anything about it. All of these pent up feelings are used as energy for the Akuma, allowing it to evolve quickly, and efficiently. We both can see this Akuma's soul," I said solemnly.
"Hold on… It's a woman. She has a strong bond with Mark," Allen said. Moa gasped. Wow, not going to attack yet Akuma? This is new. It's waiting. I thought.
"Akuma are machines not made of mechanical parts, but the sorrow experienced by the souls they inhabit. Everyone has a dark side within their heart. The Maker looks for people who's dark side has grown due to a recent personal tragedy, and transforms them into Akuma," Allen said, sounding extremely cryptic.
"Tragedy…" Moa trailed off, reliving her sister's wedding. She stared at the Akuma in horror.
"No, it can't be. Impossible. There's no way that's my sister!" Moa yelled. She fell to her knees, and sat down, crying. Allen and I walked past her, while Mitsu became Moa's bodyguard. Allen lifted his hand, and I lifted my daggers.
"Sacred cross that dwells within me, Grant me the power to destroy this evil darkness! Bring forth salvation to this tormented Akuma's soul!" Allen and I said in unison.
Allen's arm transformed, and my daggers turned into swords. I walked over to Moa and created a Green shield that surrounded our bodies, along with Mitsu. The Akuma screamed when Allen ran towards it. As he tore it in half with his Anti-Akuma arm, he said,
"I'm sorry to have to do this. You're suffering will end forever in just a moment. May You Rest In Peace… Claire." I saw Claire's soul scream out 'No!' When her chain snapped. She was no longer the skeleton bride. She was beautiful once more.
"Thank you," Claire said. She floated in a blue orb of light into Allen's hands, and disappeared into heaven.
"Allen, will you please act normally again?" I asked.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"Well first you act all normal as usual, then when Moa talks about Akuma from an encyclopedia you get all weird, then we end up here and you act like… I don't know! And then-" I was talking a million miles per hour. Allen walked over to me and put a finger on my lips.
"Hush. Calm down." I blushed, for two reasons. Embarrassment, and … well… You should be able to figure it out. He took his finger off my lips and said,
"Good. Take a deep breath." I made an exaggerated breath.
"And talk slowly."
"… I don't remember what I was saying. Oops. I blame Mitsu." I said. She barked. We walked over to Moa helped her up, and leaned against a wall.
"My brother and Claire… There together in heaven… Right?" Moa asked.
"Together and happy. For sure." Allen said.
"I just don't understand…" Moa trailed off.
"He's called The Millennium Earl. That's the name The Maker goes by. He's enacted a plan that will wipe out mankind if he succeeds. As Exorcists it's our job to put an end to his reign," Allen said. I heard something rustle.
"Hmmm?" I said. (A/N I don't know what to put. LOL.) I got up and so did Allen. Timcampy flew into Allen's hand.
"Are you ready? Let's get outta here," Allen asked Timcampy. We bowed our heads to Moa, who smiled and bowed her head back.
"Alright, let's hurry Al! I'm starving!" I exclaimed.
"You're always starving Soph!" He yelled back.
"So are you so whatever! … Your a beansprout."
"Your mom's a beansprout!"
"Your bean sprout's a mom!"
"… What?"
I got the beansprout joke off of Flipnote Hatena. XD LOL. It was Kanda and Allen though. I made Sophia do the Kanda parts. LOL. They awesome. And I forgot what I forgot to say in the last part of the chapter. LOL. Again. ~Bye~
~P.S. The button misses you mouse-hand. Just thought I'd Tell You.~
