"I'll see what I can do but if it is as serious as you say I'll try to utilise the Modified Exo-Armour provided by you-
I'll bring in seven members equipped with the normal Exo-Armour and Plasma Rifles but remember this Akuma if it becomes too much to handle you are our best bet- I hope you remember that and in a few hours we will meet.
I will position a decoy into Arata Reo's domain to bait him into trying to experiment on the decoy before you appear and handle him we will handle any monsters he has left out..."
Were the words that Alexis left with me as she hung up- now all I needed to do was begin my transformation and scout out the area beforehand-
But as I began to do that Shiori interrupted as she took over my attention- "Is-Is that meat?"
I asked in surprise as the food that Shiori brought to the table looked a little weird- "Yes, it is a different kind of meat though a synthetic kind..."
"So you've created fake meat? Does it look good? Yeah- yeah, it does but it looks a little too perfect almost like the uncanny valley better than average and instead perfect kind of."
Seeing my exasperated look Shiori- smiled as she began to cut up the meat into small slices- for me and her to eat-
Once done the delicious and perfect looking glossy piece of meat was finely sliced into little lines of meat as a honey-like topping glistened under the room's light.
Turning to me she placed it near my mouth- "Say ahh!" was what she said as the light illuminated her silver hair causing it to look even better whilst her eyes looked tenderly at Furuichi's face.
---____---
After this, the day had passed as the next arrived as the fated day struck it was time to move- and like a phantom, Furuichi's figure danced like a phantom in the dark night whilst the unruly winds drifted in all directions.
Soon he made an 'X' shape with his hands as he then dropped them and soon a black misty 'X' formed in the air in front of Furuichi and then he pulled his arm back before punching through it as soon his hand broke through this 'X' causing half of his hand to be wrapped in his Akuma Armour and soon the whole 'X' went through him causing him to transform.
Once the 'X' was gone he was in his Akuma Armour though he had no colour on him at all, meaning his orange-brown accents weren't there. After this, he raised two fingers upwards to the cosmos and pierced the sky bringing down a white light upon him.
Illuminating him completely as a circle from top to bottom formed on him causing his eyes to become red and his shoulders to become orange-brown, as Akuma said in a low pitched tone.
"... <[Henshin]> ..."
And instantly the white light broke off of him like glass as they moved away from him revealing Akuma in his armoured glory.
With his armour equipped with another thought, Hopper was out as he jumped on his motorbike before heading to the location of his target as his red eyes began to glow like pure red flames that seemed indestructible.
'Master aren't you going to use a Demon Fruit?'
Asked Hopper as the bike glanced at Akuma's stern face as his armour cloaked his figure blending into the veils of the dark with his eyes resembling only pure red flames burning in this darkness.
"Your right Hopper- I will use one soon and it seems when I do that you too- gain the ability to effectively be my partner in battle right?"
Hearing that his Motorbike nodded as Akuma glanced down at his living bike- "Alright well here goes I wonder what I'll get today?"
After that Akuma let go of the handles as Hopper began to automatically drive to the location whilst Akuma grabbed out a Demon Fruit from his Henshin Bracelet before the fruit passed through his helmet as if a ghost.
With the fruit consumed - his body began to change as his whole physique decreased by a wide margin no longer was he bulked up to perfection instead he assumed a lean physique with incredibly dense muscles as his grey eyes turned green in an instant and like a deep-sea creature
In particular, a Frilled Shark- Oxygen became no real problem as if even the least amount could keep him fully energised- needing little food and no sunlight.
Even the very cold outskirts of Kurama City next to the coast and in total darkness felt effortless as if completely useless to him.
He felt stronger than ever before and the darkness surrounding him was lightened instantly no longer did he see darkness but instead a bright green sky and the road in front as if the world was dyed in bright green and accented in red.
His power was - Condensed Muscle Mass, Immunity to Cold, Oxygen Immunity, Sunlight Immunity- as if he was bred for the coldest and deepest of places where the sun never shined its light- he felt like a trained assassin with extremely enhanced agility, strength, stamina and pretty much everything else.
Feeling these new survival instincts envelop him as his physique changed - Akuma experienced a Mutation Devil Fruit that altered one's body to take in the physique of something else - however, though it was great it wasn't permanent.
The powers were things that he utilised from the fruit as his destiny as the last Cosmos' Guardian and once his physique had been fully tempered could he truly utilise these powers- all of these powers descended from all his predecessors after all.
He had not yet reached the peak of his powers and not even inherited his destiny- there was much to learn and much to do...
