The Phantom: A raging war

Chapter 22

Akashi P.O.V

I look back at Shinko, as she gently hums to a song, her hand on Tetsuyas chest just above his heart. Kagami and the others were trying to defend against Akuma's attacks. But he was too strong, They stumble back as he laughs loudly.

"Weaklings! Who should I kill first, His mother? No first I'm gonna kill this whore" He snarls pointing to Shinko, I step in front of her in a sad attempt to defend both Tetsuya and Shinko, My body emotionally exhausted from the events recently. He rushes forward causing me to gasp and flinch. The sound of the sword cutting through the air was the only thing to be heard before I hear it connect. The sound it made wasn't of him hitting someone. It sounded like it hit a wall. I slowly open my eyes seeing Tetsuya in front of us both, his hair blue and black, The markings on his arms had returned as he holds his staff against the sword when did that get fixed, when did he get there, how fast can he move? Akuma growls

"You little asshole. How did you get him back?" He growls and gets pushed back. Tetsuya laughs and stands ready to attack, 

"I'm one hell of a hunter, But you should know that shouldn't you?" He taunts and steps forward, the shadows swarming around him as he brings his mask up and laughs a little as he rushes towards Akauma striking him with his staff causing Akuma to growl as dark energy spreads around his body, Tetsuya steps forward and spins around hitting him again this time with the sharper end of the staff as he slashes across his chest.

He quickly ducks under the sword as Akuma swings for his head. He steps to the side and strikes the demon in the back with his shadows, a loud Howl echoes through the room as he falls to his knees from Tetsuyas endless assault on his body. I can tell from the look in Tetsuyas eyes how much anger he's been holding back, I hope he's now releasing that, Using Akuma as his personal punching bag.

Akuma swings the sword making contact with Tetsuyas arm causing him to flinch and step back slightly. Tetsuya Growls and steps back causing the shadows to surround Akumas form as he raises his hand, Sending a wave of black energy out to the bastard. Another howl escapes the demon as Tetsuya uses this moment to rush forward, He chuckles softly jumping in the air and stabbing Akuma through the chest earning a gasp and a cough.

Oh if only it was easy to kill him with that attack, Akuma slowly stand up throwing him against the wall, Tetsuya coughs and slides down as we all watch in shock, frozen in awe as Tetsuya had once again deified death and came back to us. He walks over to Tetsuya snarling and glaring at him as he raises his sword up before he yells in pain. He looks behind him seeing a young male with black hair and eyes looking up at Akuma with hatred in them.

"Stay the fuck away from him." He snaps pulling the sword out from his back. I laugh softly in disbelief and watch as both Tetsuya and M attack him from both sides, Seemingly coordinated like some kind of dance they move flawlessly and smoothly.

They attack and attack, Not giving Akuma a moment to defend or counter as they slice and hit and tear into him. Dark blood spurting out from Akumas endless wounds as he continues to try and weakly defend. Obviously overwhelmed by the amount of force against him by the two people who he tried (And succeeded) to kill many times.

And with one last strike coupled with a Pained and angered cry from Tetsuya, Akuma falls to the floor lifeless as one last Howl of pain and anger erupts from his throat. His body slowly burning up in flames as his blood covers Tetsuya and M both breathing heavily as M's form blurs and shifts back into Tetsuya. They killed him They actually did it! I laugh a little before pausing hearing a low chuckle from behind

"Awh, You didn't forget about little old me did you?" Pesuto says and laughs, "I must thank you both for killing the one thing in my way to endless power. Now I can rule the underworld. And my first act of business is Tying up loose ends" He smirks and looks at me. dread slowly filling me as my stomach clenches.
