7th Dusk: Akuma Level 2
The seven Exorcists activated their Innocence as the Akuma realized they were here and prepared to attack them. In a chain reaction, Akuma that saw the first few transform also transformed, so dozens of Akuma were already around them, and panic had arisen with those that were still human, but with the chaos, the Akuma would have many of them killed soon.
Tina hit her bracelet against her Innocence blade to create the high pitch noise that only affected the Akuma, so the others could destroy some quick and easy to get a head start. Everyone attacked and killed the immediate group of Akuma then split up into random groups of two like Kanda had told them to. Tina went with Gwen while Sol and Suman paired up, leaving Lenalee and Dylan who went off in another direction, while Kanda stayed where he was.
Lenalee's "Dark Boots" were actually allowing her to fly next to Dylan. Lenalee kicked one of the Akuma to kill it while Dylan swung his hammer killing three Akuma simultaneously, then changing it's form to a sword.
"My Innocence is really starting to get easier to use." Dylan said as he and Lenalee killed another couple of Akuma.
"That's how you know your syncro-rate is getting higher." Lenalee told him. "Good thing too, the higher everyone's syncro-rate is, the easier this job will be."
"Yea," Dylan agreed, killing another Akuma, then seeing another Akuma about to fire at a human. He reached the Akuma just in time and killed it saving the man, who was shaking in complete terror. "Run!" Dylan told him and he didn't waste anytime getting up and running away after that.
Lenalee killed another few Akuma and Dylan caught up with her, killing a couple more when he did.
Gwen and Tina were able to kill Akuma slightly faster with Tina's Innocence ability, which she called "tuning fork," to disrupt the Akuma around them and leave them wide open. Tina noticed that the higher her syncro-rate got, the longer she could keep the sound going, and the wider a range it could reach, so her ability was very useful to the Order. Gwen was very fast, so almost as soon as Tina disrupted the Akuma, she could kill them, which made them the best team here at the moment.
"Keep it up Tina," Gwen told Tina as she killed four more Akuma. "We're doing great."
"I know, but as easy as this may look, doing this over and over is really exhausting my Innocence." Tina said and struck her blade with her bracelet again, and Gwen killed another five.
"I know, but you've got to try and keep it up. There are lives depending on this." Gwen told her.
Suman and Sol were both parasitic types, which made them both immune to the Akuma's poison, so even though Tina and Gwen may have been the best team, they were no doubt the strongest. Sol used his Innocence's brute strength to easily eliminate Akuma quickly, and Suman could destroy multiple Akuma at once with his wind attacks.
Sol swung his arm to kill another Akuma. "These Akuma really start to get easy to kill after awhile." He said.
"Yea, but that doesn't mean we can let our guard down any." Suman told him as he used his wind attacks to destroy a bunch of Akuma ahead of them.
"True enough," Sol replied, clasping an Akuma in each of his hand crushing them.
"Let's just get this done." Suman said, destroying a few coming in from the side.
Kanda was massacring the Akuma he past as he ran, not even caring to glance at the piles of dust and clothes of those who fell victim to the Akuma. "Underworld Creatures, First Illusion." Kanda shouted, swinging his blade through the air and holographic looking beasts appeared, flying around and killing multiple Akuma.
Lenalee and Dylan killed another couple Akuma. "This is going to take forever, we need a way to destroy tons of Akuma at once." Dylan said.
"Isn't there some sort of weapon you can change your Innocence into to make that work?" Lenalee asked as she destroyed another Akuma.
"I could turn it into a machine gun I guess, but the bullets it fires are part of my Innocence still, I can't keep that up forever." Dylan replied, putting up his sword to block one of the Akuma's bullets, then extended the blade of his sword so it reached the Akuma and killed it."
"You can make your sword longer?" Lenalee didn't know that yet.
"Yea, I compress my Innocence, so it has stored metal I can use for the blade." Dylan replied, then saw where she was going.
Dylan increased the length and size of his swords blade, then jumped up, where Lenalee put her feet up to his and pushed off, rocketing him forward with the strength of her Dark Boots. Dylan held his blade out so all the Akuma he past were cut strait in two and destroyed, that one move probably killed 50 Akuma, then once he got back on the ground, Dylan shortened his sword back to the size of a regular blade again.
It only took a few moments for Lenalee to catch up with Dylan again, and then they continued on their way killing more and more Akuma.
Tina and Gwen were still killing the Akuma very fast, but Tina was really starting to wear out her Innocence with the "tuning fork" ability, as shown by the length of the Akuma's stunned moment becoming shorter and shorter.
"The numbers are starting to lower a little, you can stop using that for a while." Gwen told her, wanting to give Tina a chance to catch her breathe.
"Yea, thanks Gwen." Tina replied, and started to run alongside Gwen, just killing a few Akuma here and there to help out so her Innocence would overexert itself, while Gwen was killing the other Akuma with only a slightly slower speed than when Tina was using her Innocence to stop them.
Sol and Suman had a similar idea to Lenalee and Dylan to kill a large number of Akuma at once. Sol used his strength to fire Suman far in a short amount of time, during which time, Suman span while using his wind attacks to create a sort of mini twister that destroyed all the close Akuma, then Sol took care of any the attack might have missed on his way back up to him.
"Their starting to drop in number, a good sign we're nearing the end of this chaos." Suman stated.
"Indeed, let's just hope we can save a good amount of lives from dying from the Akuma by doing so." Sol said as he reached Suman, and the two continued to kill the Akuma.
Although he was alone, Kanda was doing just as good as any of the other teams in defeating Akuma. Kanda was only Dylan's age, but he had been with the order longer than anyone else fighting here right now, and his skills proved that fact. He was killing the Akuma with incredible ease and amazing speed, the abilities of his Mugen also helped a lot, allowing him to target large numbers of Akuma at once.
"We're doing great, we just need to keep this up a little longer." Dylan said, killing another Akuma, seeing that their numbers had been drastically decreased.
"Yea, so let's bring this to a close." Lenalee agreed, killing a couple more Akuma.
Dylan nodded then morphing his Innocence into the form of a machine gun. As Dylan had said before, putting his Innocence in this form would be able to kill many Akuma quickly, but it wasn't something he could use forever on end, at least not with the level he was at now. So he and Lenalee decided to wait until the numbers of Akuma had dropped a lot before using this form.
Dylan began firing off rapid bullets, using as little of the Innocence as possible for each bullet, killing any Akuma in range. He and Lenalee rushed forward so they could find any more Akuma lurking in the city. Any time they saw a larger size group of Akuma, Dylan shot them all down, if there were just a couple, Lenalee killed them. Just when they thought they were pretty much completely done with all the Akuma and stopped to catch their breathe, They heard someone snicker. And it didn't sound human.
"Hee, hee, hee, hee. Exorcists, thinking their all big just beating up a bunch of level 1's." The voice was deep and almost sounded like a growl. "But a lowly level 1 is nothing..." Just then something sped around a corner so fast neither of them got a good look at it at first, then it went right by them and hit them back, halting to a stop after that. "...Compared to the power of a level 2 like me."
After Dylan and Lenalee got back up on their feet, they saw that this new monster that introduced himself as a level 2 had a pair of wheels were it's legs should have been, it's fingers were as sharp as blades, and it had a visor over it's eyes, and had fangs like a wolves.
"Level 2? You mean... the Akuma evolved?" Dylan wondered, still in pain from the hit he took from it as he stood back up. Lenalee also got up again, and they were now in for a fight unlike any they had done so far.
So this was what happened, when an Akuma evolved.
