He'd decided that when he'd see her today he'd ask her out, whether the world was burning or zombies appeared he'd confess to her and tell her of his budding feelings towards her.
Merely thinking of her gave rise to a faint blush as his heart began racing, it was obvious he was over his ex now he'd need a partner, a companion and Aoi seemed to simply fit the bill.
But just as things began to get interesting suddenly Furuichi's Com-Ring started beeping, in his mind as she relayed a message to him of utmost importance.
'Master, zombies have been spotted near Fubuki River and just further ahead of it in the sewers that lead to the Cities Dam.'
'Damn'
Furuichi grunted as he thought this, his confession had to wait for it seems if somehow the dam got infected the city would be poisoned and possibly even turn into zombies.
The thoughts of this led him to imagine his precious Aoi as one and he grimaced at the sight of it nauseating it was for him before clearing his mind and before he ran in the direction of Kurama City Dam.
With his special words said while running at intense speeds causing people to see only a black and red blur as he thought in his mind.
'HENSHIN!!'
Engulfed in white light he transformed into Akuma as all cameras and electronic devices malfunctioned until his transformation ended.
Once done he sped faster before leaping into the great blue skies and taking a Demon Fruit from his Henshin Bracelet.
Placing it into his mouth somehow as the mask opened on his mouth area.
He crushed it before chewing it all the way down, the flavour was like second nature to him as he gained the instructions on how to use said ability given by said fruit.
'Telekinesis Huh, I wonder who I'll strangle to justice next' Grinned Akuma as he used his telekinetic abilities to levitate himself before soon flying in the air at such intense speeds he caused a sonic boom causing a gust of wind to hit multiple houses behind him.
On said houses a young man was with his wife as he tried impressing her to show he could quite easily lift heavy weights and such, but sadly he'd been taken out by a gust of wind as the weights fell to the ground not hurting him in the process before he fell onto his wife's chest.
Another similar scene nearby happened as a above average boy with tanned skin and long hair reaching his shoulders was talking to his crush before he confessed however the wind caused him to fall into her.
As quickly their two lips were enamoured with each other, surprising the girl.
She'd never thought the one she'd loved all this time felt the same as her, while the boy was surprised as he felt the girl began to aggressively strike back with her tongue.
The two had similar thoughts in their mind but for one they thanked, the guardian devil for such an opportunity.
And simultaneously the two now love birds stared at each other with intense gazes before saying, "Thank Akuma..."
As they carried on their cutesy pecks on each others lips, causing them to become chapped.
'Zombies, hah who'd have thought...'
As he thought of this he quickly zoomed through the air as he arrives near the dam before his airborne descent began downwards.
'Shi-chan, is the virus contagious, airborne spread or by touch?'
Thought Akuma as he used his Com-Ring to telepathically talk to Shiori.
Without waiting long Shiori quickly replied as she said, 'No the it's not airborne rather, it's passed on through touch and cuts, when a Zombie causes an earthling to bleed the earthling will become berserk and soon turn into a Zombie.'
'Your mission is to erase all the Zombies, and I'm sorry Master but I can't talk no I'm in the middle of something badass...'
'Wait Shi-chan What do you mean... Wait where did you learn that word.'
However Shiori ended the telepathic conversation with a quick word, 'You!'
"Wait I never swore in front of you... Did I?"
As the Devil thought this he landed down near the dam as he could already see the grey ugly mugs of cannibalistic beasts in sheep's clothing.
Without any hesitation, Akuma stepped down with a crater forming due to his strength, as he then raised his right leg before slamming it down causing the Zombies in his vicinity to fall down to the ground in an instant.
'That's strange why are they so fragile.'
'Was I exerting too much strength or ...'
However, before he could carry on his analysis another Zombie appeared at his back leaving him in a vulnerable position as he activated his telekinetic abilities as he caused a massive gust 30 centimetres away from his body.
This caused another gust of wind to appear as the clouds moved away revealing a full moon, however surprisingly the moon was yellowish gold in colour.
But this only delayed the inevitable as the Zombies head was beheaded instantly however this head with the last of it's energy fueled by the consumption of earthling flesh, caught onto Akuma's neck as it's last task was biting Akuma.
This caused Akuma to Internally scream as his body immediately began to change, beneath his armour and helmet his dark brown eyes began to become Golden in colour before his muscles began to bulge before his height of 5'10 became 6'8 and his muscle mass began to explode outwards as his hair began to grow longer before it became spikier.
The armour was adapting along with his transformation as Akuma felt angry, so angry that everything around him caused him to feel engaged.
