Moments past, and Yuji remained beside Elizabeth.
Not knowing how long his been at the same position, he looked at her.
"What should I... do now..." Yuji said with a lifeless voice.
Suddenly, loud noises from a distance emerged from the silence.
SHAKE* RATTLE*
The area around was faintly shaking moment after moment. As if something large is moving, causing the ground to shake.
CRASH*
A building near Yuji suddenly collapsed.
With an emotionless face, Yuji thought
" how... long has it been...".
Yuji stood up and walked forward to look outside.
Shortly, after taking a few steps, Yuji realises that it was chaos outside.
"I... better get out of here..." he said with an emotionless voice.
Yuji picked up Elizabeth placing her on his arms.
Yuji looked at Elizabeth.
"...."
Yuji seemed tired, not knowing what to do.
He stepped outside of the building.
Raagghh!
Right after he got outside, a number of akumas have blocked his path.
"How... annoying..." with almost no effort, he ranted.
Yuji gently placed Elizabeths body on the ground as he went forward to face the akumas.
Not long after, all what seems to be a low class Akumas fell down on the ground.
Yuji glanced back at Elizabeth and saw an akuma on top of her.
Yuji's eyes enlarged as he suddenly dashed close to the Akuma and smashed its head on to the ground.
He looked at the akumas face. With an enraged expression, he once again smashed the akumas head into the ground.
He smashed, and smashed, and smashed the the akumas head repeatedly on to the ground.
Filled with rage, he repeated.
He took one glance at Elizabeths face with a peaceful expression, then suddenly, he stopped.
"..."
"what am I doing..." he said in a disappointed tone.
He looked at his arm and noticed that there was no bite mark from the previous encounter he had.
"So you healed this too..."
Yuji suddenly regaines a bit of composure, as he stood up, going back to having a lifeless expression.
"I... have to get out of here..."
He once again Carried Elizabeth and started walking.
"I should go... to the center of the city..."
"And... I have to fulfill my promise too..."
With little to no idea on where to go, Yuji decided to make his way to the center of the city which was the original plan.
Shaking, buildings falling, akumas running around from a distance. In a simple word, absolute chaos.
Yet Yuji was walking casually, not having a care in the world.
While walking he encounters low class Akumas on the way, which was inevitable in his situation.
Yuji casually dodge them, as he ran quickly to a corner, loosing the akumas.
"It's troublesome to get rid of them... I should try to hurry..."
Not expecting anything, Yuji ran faster, on the way to the center of the city.
"They... probably left by now..."
"In that case..."
"What am I doing...?"
Despite the reasoning on his head, Yuji continued to make his way to the center.
After a few moments of running and avoiding akumas, he finally arrived closer to his goal.
And from a distance, he saw.
"No way..."
Yuji was forced back to reality, after seeing an unfavorable situation right in front of him.
Yuji's body trembled at the sight of a massive dark red skull moving from a distance, behind a short building in front of him.
"Isn't this place... close to the center..."
Suddenly, Yuji hears numerous engines from vehicles from a distance.
"Vehicles!" Yuji said.
"Then that means they haven't left yet!" Yuji then looked at the massive creature and saw it looking at the direction where the sound of vehicles came from.
"..."
"SH*T!"
With no hesitation Yuji jumped over the small building, and started shouting.
"HEY!" he shouted, trying to grab the attention of the massive creature.
"I have to distract it... if that massive thing gets to them... they're..." Yuji thought.
Erina, as well as the others faces he saw, flashed from his memory.
"I don't know if I'm thinking straight..."
"No... right now... I'm definitely thinking straight!"
"If I let go of this situation... Who knows how many more will die..."
"All of you... better be safe!"
Yuji then jumped down the building, still carrying Elizabeth, with determination to distract the massive creature.
"Now that I think about it, I've been relying on my instinct this entire time..."
"And if there's one thing I noticed... is that I'm stronger..."
"A lot stronger than before!"
While running towards the direction of the massive creature he encounters numerous akumas blocking his path.
"Dang it... from this much, I can't tell where the high class and the low classes are," Yuji thought as he continues to run closer to the akumas.
"I don't have much time..."
Yuji dashed quickly to the side of the grouped akumas.
DASHH!
Suddenly three akumas were able to match his speed and blocked his path.
"So there's 3 high class..."
"High classes are definitely faster and stronger than the others... so it's natural for them cath up to this much speed..."
Yuji stops and looks at the akumas that halted right in front of him.
"Three akumas, two unusual legged and one with two large arms..."
"how troublesome..."
Yuji looks at the massive creature, blocks away from him, started to make it's way towards the sound of the vehicles.
Yuji was alarmed, he needed to get past the possibly high class Akumas in front of him, in order to get near the massive creature.
"Normally running away won't do any good..."
"But there's no other way!"
Yuji quickly ran inside a what seemed to be an office building, followed by the three high class Akumas.
He ran in circles inside the building to loose the akumas, using multiple methods just to get out of the akumas sight, such as throwing tables, and papers.
When he reached a certain corner he kicked a medium sized rock to the left of the building, shattering a window making a loud noise.
He then quickly turned right, out of vision from the akumas.
The Akumas followed the rock and jumped outside the 3rd floor window.
"Phew... that got them..."
Yuji then stops by the third floor window.
His heart started pounding hard, and knees slightly shivered, as he looked down the building.
Yuji notices the massive creature moved further from them, destroying more buildings on its way.
"There's no time to hesitate!"
Yuji jumped off the building , holding Elizabeths body tightly.
CRASH*
Smoke filled his vision as he felt a little numb.
"I'm... fine!" Yuji thought, as he stood up from the fall.
"Ok, now I have to..."
Suddenly more akumas blocked his path.
"There's so many akumas in the area..."
"And that creature is definitely way different than the others..."
"theres no doubt about it..."
Yuji scowled, looking at the massive creature.
"That's... an arch demon..."
Yuji was stunned, being surrounded by more akumas.
"I have to get past these things..."
"But when I do... what am I..."
Suddenly an akuma dahsed forward to Yuji.
Yuji dodges the Akuma and started running.
"There's no time to think... I just have to do it!".
Yuji got through the multiple akumas by running away from them.
And so, Yuji got closer to the arch demon.
Yuji stopped above a small building to Cath his breath, as he manage to get the whole picture of the arch demon.
It was a massive creature about 50 feet tall, it had over grown veins all over it's body, and massive lumps of flesh, had a large yet skinny skull and a large dark eye, with half of it's face being covered with veins and overgrown flesh.
"The name arch demon really fits this one..." Yuji said as he cathes his breath, after running continuously.
"Now that I'm this near... how will I even distract it..."
"more importantly... how will I survive after..."
The Arch demon kept on moving, getting closer to where the sound came from.
"The sound of the vehicles are starting to fade..."
"I guess they're leaving..."
"I can't let this thing cath up..."
Yuji held Elizabeths body tightly.
"..."
Yuji placed Elizabeth on his back.
"I can use one of my arms in this position... alright"
"Now then..."
Yuji had his sight locked on a building near the Arch demon.
"I guess that's the goal for now..."
Yuji then began to run towards the said building.
"That Arch demon seems to be walking casually... I can do this..."
Yuji managed to get close to the Arch demon, as he continues to run.
As he was running, he sees a large debris that came from a destroyed building, laying beside the road.
"Wait... can I..."
Yuji stops by the large debris the size of an average house wall, and gently drops Elizabeth.
Rattle* rattle*
Yuji managed to lift the debris from the ground.
"With this weight I can..."
Yuji locked his vision at the Arch demons head, right on top of it's large fleshy back.
"I've always been a great shot..." Yuji said, "hopefully this works..."
Yuji spun the debris 360 degrees, and threw it at the direction of the Arch demon.
Yuji completely focused and stared at the debris.
CRASH*
"YES!" Yuji said, after hitting the top of the arch demons head with the debris.
The Arch demon halted.
"..."
"..."
The arch demon's head slowly turned around.
"..."
"..."
The Arch demon stared directly at Yuji.
Yuji was suddenly struck with fear, as the Arch demons stare felt like it pierced through his soul, making his whole body shiver.
Yuji began to sweat, his knees and hands started to shake, as he stared at the dark void of the arch demons eyes, a suden red light flashed from the depths of darknes in it's eyes.
Yuji was stunned for a moment as the demon started to turn it's massive body around facing his direction.
Run.
"SH*T!!" Yuji shouted, as he quickly turns around, picking up Elizabeth, he ran as fast as he could, as his thoughts kept repeating the same word over and over.
RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN ,RUN, RUN, RUN, RUN.
STOMP* STOPM*
The ground began to shake shortly one after another.
Yuji did not turn around, as he only thought on getting away as fast as possible.
SHAKE* SHAKE*
"This pressure... it feels like his just behind me!" Yuji thought as he ran faster.
He kept running as fast as he could, as the shaking from the ground did not seem to fade away.
"SERIOUSLY! HOW AM I GOING TO GET OUT OF THIS!?" Yuji shouted.
Meanwhile.
"..."
"Huh...? am I seeing things?" Yukina said as she walked closer.
"That thing... IS RUNNING AWAY?"
She said looking at the arch demons head from a far distance.
"Activate!" Yukina said, activating her mechanical back pack, as it transformed into a wing like jet pack on her waist, with what seems to be metal pipes coming out from it.
"No way it's running!"
"This might be crazy but... I'm going to have to get closer to be sure,".
