Hakumei smiled softly as he looked at the dinosaur-looking Insei Akuma. He had chosen his target, and was formulating a plan as how to combat the mighty creature. "All of you, step away from the big guy, he's mine," he said with a smirk. He stuck his right hand into his right pocket to search for something. "Found it!" he drew his hand rapidly revealing that he found his Crystal-Type Innocence hilt. As soon as his arm was in the air with the hilt pointed downwards, a burst of orange-yellow colored Innocence energy erupted forth from the hilt guard, stretching to about 24-feet.
The dinosaur-shaped Insei Akuma looked towards Hakumei, seeing the Innocence come into activity. It opened it's large, gaping mouth and released yet another mighty roar. All of a sudden, the giant target disappeared within a shadow, in the same style as James.
Hakumei looked around, making sure that no one was watching him. So far, Lavi was fighting off three Level -12's, Kanda had successfully slain 3 of them, but no one seemed to be fighting the other two who were just standing there, watching everyone fight. "Strange, looks like I seem to be the only one fighting a stronger opponent…," he thought with a sweat drop. He shook it off and decided to make a run for it since fighting such a large opponent to maximum potential would require for there to be no fatalities. He made a run for the lobby, for at least no one was there.
A shadow was crawling on the wall, appearing to be the shadow of the Insei Akuma he chose to pick a fight with. Suddenly, the head of the Insei Akuma rose out from the head of the shadow, opening it's mighty jaws to chomp down on Hakumei like a starving man at an all-you-can-eat buffet.
Hakumei quickly reacted with his usual quick movements by disappearing in a bright, orange-colored flash of light. He appeared several meters forward, far away from the head of the Insei Akuma's hungrily awaiting jaws.
The Insei Akuma dug it's head back into the wall, melting back into the wall as a shadow. It's shadow-like form crawled around, following behind Hakumei at an alarming rate. The speed of it seemed to be nearly as fast as a jet, for it literally glided in the shadows and was nearly catching up to it's prey, like a shark hunting their victims.
Hakumei looked back to see the Insei Akuma beginning to completely catch up. "Damnit!" he thought in his mind and ran as fast as he could. Afterwards, he disappeared within another yellow-orange burst of light, appearing several meters ahead once more. He thought, "I am nearing the lobby! Just a few mo--"
Claws ripped forth towards Hakumei, cutting off his train of thought. Luckily, the claws missed him by a hair strand's distance. The claws returned to the shadow, and Hakumei whirled around. He was now running backwards and he thought, "Damnit, it caught up with me already? Something's wrong, I was moving way faster than it previously…"
Claws and the face of the Insei Akuma leaped forth, it's mighty jaws wide open once more. It's mouth was over Hakumei and he stopped running, as well as the Insei Akuma. The Insei Akuma seemed to have not given Hakumei any choices, for if he did something funny, the claws and the mighty jaws would tear him to shreds. Though if he did not move, then he would be gobbled down like a stuffed Thanksgiving Day turkey!
"Hm, looks like this one is actually tough… Emperor seemed to have done a good job in creating these…," he thought with a smirk on his face. Suddenly, the lights in the hallway began blinking. Each blink retained a ten minute interval before the lights flickered back on.
"What's going on here? Explain yourself now, pathetic mortal!" the Insei Akuma growled. The voice of this Insei Akuma sounded like the voice of a savage, it's at-first human-like voice was now mutating to one of a primitive creature's.
"You are going to die… that's what…," Hakumei answered in a cold tone of voice. His hair drooped down from the style of Allen's hair when Crown Clown was active, to a long, flowing sort of hairstyle that turned from white to gray. The lights flickered off once more, and screams of terror could be heard. The screams all were, "NO! NOT THE VOID! PLEASE! NO! I DON'T WANT TO GO BACK TO THE VOID!" After that, it was utter silence…
The lights flickered back on, revealing Hakumei back to normal. His hands were covered with black blood, and the scar on the right side of his face was traced with the black blood of the Insei Akuma. The giant Insei Akuma that should have taken a long time to kill, was utterly destroyed, laying on the ground with a giant pool of black blood forming around it. Part of it's body remained a part of the wall that it traveled in; while the rest of the body was torn apart beyond recognition. "Pathetic… he perfected them so well, and yet I was still able to finish it off so easily…" he spoke softly. The Innocence katana returned to normal and he placed it in his left pocket. "I guess Emperor has a lot of work to do…" he sighed as he walked towards where he had originally been. Explosions could be heard from inside the room, and he thought, "They are beginning to get serious… I may as well stay out here for a while for they will wonder why I was able to finish that thing off so easily…" He laid against the wall, staring at the ceiling and thought, "I wonder what they plan on doing to combat the Exorcists…"

"Looks like I am forced to have to use another Combo Seal…" Lavi thought in his mind. He raised his hammer, pointing it high towards the ceiling. "Combo Seal; Great Conflagrated Ash Hurricane!" he called out his next move. Suddenly, he slammed his hammer on two seals that were combining, which were the Wood and Fire seals. The head of the hammer slammed down upon the ground, and the combined Fire and Wood seal appeared on the ground. Suddenly, a burst of flames rose from the ground in the form of a tornado, maintaining it's form like a hurricane.
The three -12 Insei Akuma he was facing off with gawked at the hurricane made of conflagrated flames. "NO! WE DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK TO THAT ACCURSED VOID!" they all cried out and blasted multiple bursts of Dark Matter from their mouths, each burst much more potent than the last. Sadly, each burst was deflected by the hurricane of flames.
"Seems like you fear this 'Void' of yours so much. Who or what is this 'Void you speak of?" Lavi asked intelligently as the enflamed hurricane neared the Insei Akuma without relent. As the hurricane neared them, the more they moved backwards, for they were now aware that they could do nothing against his attack. Lavi did not receive an answer, so he closed his eyes and raised his right hand, pointing it towards the attack he recently release. Slowly, he snapped the fingers of his right hand, and the hurricane reacted to the snap by flying towards the Insei Akuma. Sudden explosions occurred, meaning they were now dead.
Kanda sweat dropped and asked, "Was that even necessary, Baka Usagi? You revealed yet another power of yours, which gives the enemy the upper hand, and by giving them the upper hand, you will have doomed yourself for the enemy will predict the attacks…" He pointed towards the two Insei Akuma that were just observing and finally they began to move.
One tilted it's head in several sickening positions, it's neck sounding like it cracked. "I guess you two maybe a match for us, just hope you know what death warranty you will be signing yourself to…," it spoke, it's voice sounding cold, yet mechanical.
The second one did not speak at all, nor did it move. It seemed to be officially bored and looked at the ceiling, almost as if having nothing better to do. It sighed and said in a soft, yet mechanical voice, "I will not participate in this fight…"
The other just shifted it's claws around, and the grinds of metallic movement could be heard from the movement of the claws. "Now we can finally have some fun!" the other said in a maniacal/mechanical sounding voice. It engaged battle by blasting several bursts of Dark Matter from the cannon in it's wide, gaping mouth. It then leaped and slashed it's claws in Lavi's direction, sending multiple flows of Dark Matter. Each Dark Matter flow was thick and dense, meaning that they must have been potent enough to back up the appearances.
Lavi immediately sprung into action and ran towards the Insei Akuma that swung it's claws at him, but then Kanda stood in the way, shaking his head as if to stop the Bookman from fighting. "Do not worry, Baka Usagi, I will take them both on at once…" he said with a smirk of interest forming over his face.
"You think you stand on equal ground with us? Ha! That itself is arrogance, thinking you can take on both him and I at once. What is next? You thinking you can defeat us with technical ease? Trust us, you cannot win against Insei Akuma of our caliber. The -12's you faced off with back then are weaklings compared to us, the Level -10 Akuma you arrogant fool!"
"I do not think I can defeat you both, I know so. Also, thinking I cannot defeat you when you have never seen my powers, nor my weaknesses is also arrogance, Level -10," he responded in a cold tone of voice as he drew his Mugen from it's sheath. "Aside from that…" he said, his pitch-black steeled katana beginning to glow blue. He placed his fingers on the flat edge of the katana and gently moved his fingers across it's surface and he said :Mugen, activate!"

Lenalee had quietly snuck out of the room in which where the Exorcists were fight. She was currently in the room where Allen was held captive, and to her luck, no one was keeping on an eye upon the Exorcist/Noah that she fell in love with. She was in horror at the state that Allen looked like. He was completely covered in seals, so she quickly ran towards him to remove the seals that were affixed on him. She removed them one-by-one, feeling explosive quakes originating from the room that she had left behind. She was now hoping that Allen would wake up, that way he could assist them in battle. Could he wake up, or would they be damned once more by the new enemies?
