Ending
Die one thousand deaths! *Imagine shows lots of purple explosives and punching sounds* Hmm, this Brainiac fool dares to strike me when he should've known better than to challenge the might of Akuma, Master of the Fist. *Imagine shows Akuma glaring down with his back against the now dead Brainiac who has just been defeated by the Raging Demon, unpleased with the fight itself* Now I continue my journey in this strange new world full of heroes and others who have also taken away from this world, but it matters not as these warriors have proven themselves to challenge my fists. *Imagine shows Akuma walking alone through the desert with imagines of him fighting Superman, Batman, Vegeta, Kenshiro, and Makoto* Now I have been summoned from Hell by a demon named Trigon to have me join his army for conquest even helped me control my Oni form. Foolish mistake for now he will suffer the wrath of the Master of the Fist, the one who surpasses all! *Imagine shows Akuma facing a smirking Trigon and have him transform into Oni, and then Oni glares at Trigon for a second before he jumps fiercely at the mighty demon for one epic battle*
KO a new chapter is done and hope you all enjoy it!
The Master of the Fist certainly made himself known in the Injustice universe that some have seen and felt his mighty power, and now Trigon is going to feel his wrath for helping him with Oni.
Next character of the 12th DLC Pack is Makoto Niijima, also known as Queen from Persona 5.
