"A...another one?" Yukina said, with shrunken eyes, confused and shocked. As the Archdemon had pulled out another spearlike flesh from it's back, which stabbed Yuji.
The Archdemon pierced its sharp reddish flesh deeper under Yuji's chest, then pulled his body and threw him across the road.
Crash*
Yukina was stunned at a stance, not being able to make any moves.
Completely shocked, feeling utterly useless, she stood shaking at the same position, staring directly at the Archdemon.
The Archdemon stood still for a moment, then began to slowly walk over to where Yuji's body flew over.
"He's... not moving, could he be dead?" Yukina thought, "No... he has that healing... he couldn't be dead..."
"..." she stayed quiet, as she saw the Archdemon slowly make its way to Yuji, as if it doesn't care about her.
"It... lost interest in me..." Yukina whispered.
"I know he's not dead..." she thought, "then... why am I... not moving??" The Archdemon then pulled out another, more reddish like flesh, out of her back, as it continued to move closer to Yuji.
"Four!?" Yukina thought, "I can report that... I can get out of here and report this to the higher ups... I also still have one case full of money in my bag...".
The Archdemon continued to walk closer to Yuji, the arch demon stared at his body, sitting down on the ground unconscious against a cracked wall he crashed on to.
The Archdemon streched all of its Sharp reddish flesh behind it as it turned more reddish than before, as if it was plotting something.
Suddenly an open briefcase came flying to the Archdemon's head at a high speed.
The Arch demon had sensed this and deflected it using one of its spearlike flesh.
As it had deflected it, A vast amount of money came flying all around the Archdemons face, blocking it's vision.
"That was almost worth eight hundred thousand," Yukina said.
Suddenly, a high pitched sound was heard, making the Archdemon take caution.
The Archdemon had found itself in a threatening situation, where a familiar sound had emerged along with obstacles blocking it's vision.
The Archdemon dashed to it's right to avoid it's situation.
As the Archdemon looked at the clear view without the vast amount of money in the air, a sudden blue laser blasted its way to the side of its head, barely hitting it.
"THAT CLOSE!?" Yukina shouted, "well, I wasn't expecting to hit it anyway, but damn...".
"As I thought, it's intelligent enough to avoid a situation where it'll avoid a circumstance where it's vision is blocked," Yukina thought, "but not smart enough to know that if I had blasted it directly at that direction, I would have caught Yuji too..."
She then put the gun inside her mechanical back pack, as she let go of the leather bag behind her.
"A slow gun like that won't be able to do anything against that thing, basing from what just happened..." she thought, "I don't know how much time I got before it does another explosive move, but I got to make something work out here..."
With burning determination, Yukina's eyes glowed brightly, as she pulled out a syringe.
"It's all or nothing now..." Yukina said as she began to inject a whole syringe worth of serum.
She then threw away the empty syringe and focused at the Archdemon.
"I know fully well, what side effect this will bring... but if I don't do something, it's over anyway!" she said.
And so, Yukina rushed forward to the Archdemon and faced off in a vicious battle.
Meanwhile, on Yuji's perspective.
Darkness, feeling as if falling deep down, a light emerges along with a soft unknown voice.
"Heeyyy,"
It was a voice of a woman, in calm yet taunting tone.
"Ugh..." Yuji uttered.
"Hey! come on, regain consciousness alreadyyy," the voice said, as if it was a little irritated.
"who..." Yuji said.
"Oh! your finally getting conscious!" the voice said in joy, "HAHA! You actually did!" it said as if it was surprised, yet it sounded more cheerful.
And so, the small emerging light covered the whole area until it was as if Yuji was floating on an empty space.
"Where... am I?" Yuji said.
"In that empty space of your head," the voice said, "you know... the part where you put all your attention into something and ignore everything,".
"Huh?" Yuji turned around where he felt the direction of the voice came from.
After turning around, he could not believe what he was seeing and was confused in the situation he was in.
A familiar woman was standing right in front of him, tall, had long silky hair, and clear white skin.
"Your... that woman from before..." Yuji said, "that white hair... those golden eyes...".
the woman tilted her head, "hmm... now that you mention it, we have met before," she said, "but that was a really long time ago,"
"Your that woman who overpowered Erina before..." Yuji said.
"Aside from that, do you recall something else?" the woman said with a smile, "that face your making... it's really tense,".
"Yeah..." Yuji said, "that Archdemon... is that you?".
"Bingo!" she said cheerfully.
"Erina had no chance against you... despite being stronger this past year, I can't even see her strength close enough to what you demonstrated back then..." Yuji said in a shaky voice, "and someone like that... got turned into an Archdemon... how are we supposed to fight against that!?".
"Don't underestimate Yukina," the woman said.
Yuji paused.
"Sure, she can't beat me, not on her own," she said, "but it's not like she doesn't stand a chance, in fact if you two work together now, you can survive,"
"But earlier... even when we got caught off guard... it's still..." Yuji said.
"Didn't you hear me?" the woman said, interrupting Yuji, "I said if you do it NOW!".
"Now..." Yuji suddenly got a grasp of his situation, "by NOW, do you mean...".
"Let's save the explaination for later..." the woman said.
Suddenly the space seemed as if it was beginning to collapse.
"What's happening!?" Yuji said.
"Your body is starting to get fully conscious," the woman said, "for now... once you wake up, imagine gathering a certain amount of energy on your back, in a certain form, like what my body has,".
Yuji was confused, but did not bother asking any questions, knowing the situation, he knows that they don't have time.
"Good," the woman said, "take down my body, using my own power..." then, as if she remembered something, "and better inject yourself as soon as you can, explaination can wait for another time, for now... Survive,".
With the woman's parting words engraved into his head, they both faded from the space and disappeared.
Crash*
Metals clashing, sounds of stones being destroyed, movements of feets at a high speed.
As Yuji's eyes were closed, the sounds of a vicious battle continued to occur around his area.
Slowly, Yuji gained consciousness, and as he opened his eyes, both shined bright red, with his left eye glowing bright, it had took the shape of an Akumas eye.
