Welcome to Gaia! ::

Collapsing from the massive quantity of blood loss Akuma falls unto his knees near her. "My....failure...is.not..an...option.." His words fade in and out as he holds onto conciousness. He slowly lifts himself up off of the ground and stumbles to her side. He lifts her up into his arms and carries her off of the battlefield. Struggling to get her off the field safely and weakened from the battle he signals for the two observers to come down and help her.

Shut up!! Your friend lies bleeding and you complain about your loss of five bucks!!

Helping to carry her as they walk through the wilderness to get a doctor. Occassionally coughing up blood from his wounds but holding enough strength to help.

((to that thread then!))

Walking out into the middle of the stadium he looks around remembering his last battle and the mistakes he made. A slight grunt comes from him as he sits in the center meditating. As he concentrates a dark aura grows around him, seemingly letting it consume him completely. The longer his meditation the larger the aura grows.

Stands up as his body is ingulfed in the darkness. His eyes as cold as they were when he had first acquired the darkness. The feelings he had felt dissolve from existence, his only knowledge of Reaper is from the battle and thoughts of a way to completely overcome her power. His eyes fixed on a wall in the distance as he pulls his arms back and gathers energy. The arena turns pitch black as it did during his battle with Reaper, the energy gathering as it had done countless times only different in that time seemingly stops as well. As Akuma launches his attack at the wall he releases hidden energy and watches pleased as the attack grows as large as the inside of the arena. The force of the attack pushing his massive body back and all the way against the far end of the stadium. As the attack fades he realizes that it has the same power as that of his Shinku Hadoken, thus naming it the Shino shinku hadoken.

Stands up completely from his crouched position. He looks up at the man watching him. "May I aid you with something or do you just want a beating..?" Cracking his neck a little to the right with a smile.

"You certainly talk a lot of s**t for someone that is ignored throughout over half of the day.." His smile widens as he recalls how the stranger was ignored before. "What is it you want stranger..?" He says folding his arms across his chest, glaring up at him with his smile fading.
