Yuki, unpityingly, slashed at his own right wrist, the wound glowing with a gentle shine of black light, "You've forced my hand… Cain of Deception… Cain of Swaggering…" He calmly closed his eyes as a black liquid disgustingly bubbled out of the wound, and slithered down to his right hand just as disgustingly! Next, the wound he created completely shut, while the black liquid then suddenly crystallized. Finally, he clenched his right fist, crushing the fragile crystal in his hand, "Impurity… activate. Stained Heavenly Body!" he called forth. He swung his arm in an arc. With that action, he released a large, impossible amount of almost amethyst-like, glittering dust which then flew forth dangerously, passing by each and every attack that was thrown his way! Despite that the attacks went right through it, it didn't leave them without a little present. The attacks it slipped through… all of them slowly began to melt as the cloud of dust still flew towards his opponents mercilessly!
Leon's eyes widened in surprise as his Poseidon's Spear completely melted, so he snapped his fingers, ripping open yet another portal of Dark Matter, I hope this works…! He reached into the portal, and pulled out a knocked out Lenalee, "Call back that cloud, or the girl dies too along with us!" he commanded.
"I apologize, but no. I cannot control the cloud's movements once I've sent it somewhere…" Yuki answered with a soft chuckle, almost as if trying to hold back a malicious laughter.
Deception sighed and swung his energy-bladed katana in several directions at an unseen speed. With that, he was launching a countless number of purple energy arcs, each of them unable to breach the dusty defense, only to be engulfed and to no longer be seen. Huh, so this Impurity of his can engulf any attack, and melt all creation down to nothing… the Cain then grinned. "Do not worry, Leon, we do not have to move at all…" he instructed with certainty.
"What the hell do you mean by that?! If we don't move, that thing's going to completely destroy us!" Leon dropped Lenalee, and escaped into his vortex of Dark Matter, whilst Deception calmly picked Lenalee up off the ground.
D-damnit… I can't do anything to help out my comrades… again I'm useless… she struggled with her body to start moving. Despite that, her body did not respond to her mind's commands. Her eyes widened as the cloud of amethyst-like dust passed by both her and the male that was holding her. She closed her eyes in panic, I-I'm going to die here!?
. . .
A few seconds passed, and Lenalee opened her eyes, only to find… What?! How am I… still breathing?! Am I… alive?! she looked up to see Deception, whom was just perfectly fine.
"It looks like you figured out my Impurity's extent… but so soon? I never expected a Cain to figure it out so quickly." the Noah of Light said with a grin. He then switched the pocketknife to his right hand, readying it against his left wrist, "So… shall we continue battle?" he asked indifferently.
"… This battle is starting to become pointless… Yuki Tenshu, Noah of Light." Deception answered as he then turned his back to Yuki. "This… is where we part, for now. Curtain of Darkness." he commanded as he then pulled out what looked like a handkerchief in his left pocket. The handkerchief then soared to the heavens, and expanded almost five hundred times it's original size.
Leon leaped out from yet another portal of Dark Matter, "Oh well. I was hoping for a longer reunion, but it seems my partner wants to leave…" the male looked at Yuki, his dark purple hair still covering his eyes. "We will meet again, but we will meet… where the light ends, and where darkness dominates. That's where we shall end this little 'rivalry' of ours, inspired thousands of years ago…" the male said with a 'Now I warned you' tone of voice as the dark energy then engulfed the two Cain and Lenalee. The dark 'curtain' then vanished, leaving not even a trace of the two.
"…" Yuki withdrew his pocketknife, and returned it to where he originally placed it.
"Y-You said you'd return Lenalee to us, you liar!" Allen spat, struggling with remaining conscious.
"Be silent, fool. I said I would return her to you, I never said it would be today. It could be tomorrow, or maybe next week, or maybe when time ends. I don't know, nor am I allowed to tell you of such a thing." Yuki spoke in a 'as a matter of fact' tone. He then turned his back to the Exorcists, "I can tell you this though… Be careful of whom you make as an ally. They, in the end, may be a fool who succumbed to the Emperor's power… All of American Branch, no… All of the Branches of Black Order, beside the European Branch, have fallen to the Emperor of Eternity's power… His promises of power are nothing but a false, emptied promise that brings you not everything, but nothing." he warned.
Kanda stepped forth, "Just what in the hell do you mean by that?!" he questioned as he extracted his Mugen.
"Oh, you're that fellow from earlier… That child, she hasn't made an appearance ever since I took you back from Japan, correct?" Yuki asked with an indifferent, cold look on his face, his voice sounding the same.
"No, Mei hasn't shown up…" the samurai answered, almost as if he were beginning to catch Yuki's drift!
"That child… was an Infected One, as is your comrade, Lenalee Lee. Currently, you Exorcists cannot do anything about--"
"Did you just say 'Infected One'?" Lavi asked, finally speaking after taking note of everything that just happened.
"… Yes, Bookman Jr., I said 'Infected One'. I know that you have archives on these beings… but their powers are much more different, especially now that the Emperor is the cause of their creation…" Yuki responded.
"So you know of these people?" Miranda looked at Lavi, still amazed that a childish Bookman would hold knowledge that an immortal also knew of.
"Yes…" the said male answered. "To break it down into a more simpler way of putting it, an 'Infected One' is one whose Innocence has been absorbed by the Dark Matter trying to invade it. When the Dark Matter is victorious, the Innocence then becomes 'Impurity'. The Innocence's original attacks become much more demonic, and far stronger than that of an Akuma's, depending on the Impurity. However, there is no limit to who can become 'infected'. A Parasitic-type needs to be convinced to join forces with the darkness, or will need to be mentally broken down. An Equipment-type is easily infected, and will have to struggle with their own weapon in order to keep the user from being infected too. Crystal-type… since it's a new type, and seems to be more-or-less in between Parasitic and Equipment, I would have to say that it'll require a mental breakdown of some sort, which explains why Lenalee blamed Allen for calling her 'useless'…" the Bookman explained as he rubbed his temples.
"A perfect explanation… I now see why Peter chose you in the first place…" Yuki chuckled as he then snapped his fingers, opening a portal constructed of light.
"Peter, who's that guy?" Lavi asked, but it was much too late, for Yuki had disappeared into his self-created portal. "Damn… who was that guy?" the red-head muttered to himself.
Allen struggled to stand, his body feeling drained, and weakened from that short-lived battle with Lenalee, "A-after all of that… we didn't get the information we were looking for…" he coughed.
"Then I guess… we'll just have to return." Akatsuki spat as well, his injuries still bleeding excessively.
"Yeah…" Allen spat out more blood. The other Exorcists walked over to the damaged pair, and traveled back to Black Order with their tails between their legs…
