Chapter 27

"Huh...?" Yuji said, being surprised.

"Who is this girl... she seems…" Yuji thought.

She was wearing a unique type of clothes, and a metal wing-like object behind her.

"Quick grab my hand! I'll fly us out of here!" Yukina said.

The archdemon roared deeply and violently as if it was angry.

"It's always the same greeting..." Yukina said looking directly at the archdemon. "It's never nice seeing you again!" she shouted.

The archdemon suddenly began to move towards them, as the Akumas around the area started running.

"I..." Yuji said as he looked at Elizabeth's body.

Yukina turned back at Yuji observing him carefully.

"..."

"I see..." Yukina said, "I'm sorry...".

Yukina approached Yuji, as the noises from the Akumas intensifies.

Yukina dropped the metal spear, as she lifted Elizabeth, placing her body in her arms

"Grab on," Said Yukina, as she stared at Yuji.

Yuji's eyes enlarged as he saw an Akuma running fast, near Yukinas back.

"WATCH OUT!" Yuji shouted, but as he shouted.

Stab*

Yukina suddenly turned around and took a small step back, as the spear on the ground pierced through the Akumas head.

In Yuji's vision, it happened very quickly.

"Who..."

The noises from the Akumas in a distance grew louder as they get closer.

"I'll explain later! do you want to get out of here or not?" Yukina said.

"Alright!" Yuji said, "Umm... where should I...".

"Wrap your arms on my waist," Yukina said.

"Huh!?"

"Hurry!!"

With little hesitation, Yuji wrapped his arms around her waist area hugging her tightly.

"Wait! this is a jet pack!" Yuji shouted as he notices the wing-like object by her back.

"Don't worry, I won't burn you" said Yukina, as they levitated above the ground.

"Woah!" Yuji said, "but... where are we going at this speed?"

"Above there," Yukina replied, pointing out the tall building behind them, "but we need to go there faster... you two are heavier than I expected...".

"Huh?" Yuji said as he looks at Yukinas face, "she seems to be struggling a little... aren't we floating because of a device or something?".

"Grab that pistol-like thing on the side of my belt," Yukina said.

With no hesitation, Yuji grabbed the blue-colored pistol-shaped weapon.

"This weapon..." Yuji said.

"Oh, so you've seen it before?" Yukina said, "good, now shoot the ground, we need to get up there faster... look".

Yuji tilted his head, as he looked forward, he sees the massive arch demon moving violently towards them, at a seemingly close distance.

"SHIT!"

Yuji quickly used one of his hands to point the weapon below them as his other arm wrapped around Yukina.

BANG*

Yuji released a powerful laser blast from the weapon, boosting them up at a very high speed.

"WOOOOH!" Yukina cheered as if she was enjoying herself.

"AAAAAAHHHHH, " Yuji screamed, in fear for his life, as he wraps both of his arms tighter on Yukina.

"AW!" Yukina groaned.

"AAAAAAHHHHH"

After a short moment, they reached the top.

Yukina landed them quickly on the rooftop of the building.

"Let go..." Yukina said.

"Ah! yeah..." Yuji said awkwardly as he removed his arms.

"That hurt..." Yukina whispered as she gently drops Elizabeth to the ground.

"Huh? what's wrong?" Yuji asked.

"I said... THAT HURT!" Yukina suddenly punches Yuji in the shoulder.

"Aw!"

Yuji looked at Yukina, as he sees her looking at him with frowned eyebrows, and a teary eye as if she was about to cry.

"Did it... really hurt that much?" Yuji asked.

"Hell yes!" Yukina shouted.

CRASH* RATLE*

"The building is shaking!" Yuji said.

"Let's go, were not off the hook yet," said Yukina, "that archdemon is trying to bring this thick building down,".

"I'll bring Elizabeth this time," said Yuji.

"So, Elizabeth's her name..." Yukina said, "I'll bring her,".

"Huh?"

"I don't need to directly use my hands when I'm fighting, I believe you could see that," Yukina said.

"Now that you mention it..." Yuji said, "but..."

"Don't worry..." Yukina said, "I know she's... but I understand you... I promise I'll bring her with us," Yukina said, looking at Yuji with serious eyes.

.

CRASH*

"The building's going to collapse!" Yukina said.

"Then let's go!" said Yuji.

Yukina then quickly picked up Elizabeth.

Yuji started running to the next building, along with Yukina, as he lets her take the lead.

"Where to?" Yuji asked.

"As far away as possible" Yukina replied, "once that huge thing loses vision of us for a while, it usually just continues to move where it wants slowly,".

"I got so many questions after this..." Yuji thought.

They both ran as fast as they can and jumped from building to building, hoping to get away from the archdemon.

CRASH* RATLE* RATLE*

The building they were both on at first suddenly collapsed, after a final blow dealt by the archdemon destroying the balance of the building.

The archdemon went through the building, avoiding being buried under the debris.

The Akuma stood still after, trying to look for Yuji and Yukina, as it observed the area.

At a glance, the archdemon found Yuji and Yukina running, a few buildings far from the archdemon.

"RRAAAGGHHH!" The archdemon roared violently

"Looks like it saw us..." Yukina said.

"Couldn't we just have crouched down to avoid being seen?" Yuji asked.

"Once it loses its target it goes on a rampage, destroying buildings around it," Yukina replied, "It's like a baby throwing a tantrum,".

"I see...".

"Get ready, numerous Akumas will be on their way," said Yukina.

"WHAT!?"

"From this height, only B class or above can reach us, so be careful and wish we won't encounter an A-class,".

SHAKE* RATLE* RATLE*

As they continue to run, the ground began to shake one after another.

"It's chasing after us... well of course it would..." Yuji said.

"twelve o'clock!" Yukina shouted, "two mid-high classes"

"two what?" Yuji thought, "This isn't the call-outs that I know... mid-high class?"

Two large-bodied Akumas came up to the building by climbing.

"Shoot the one on the right I got the other one," Yukina said, "we can't stop running...".

"I forgot I had this..." Yuji thought as he pointed the weapon at the Akuma in front of them.

BANG*

One Akuma fell off the building, being pierced by the laser, as the other one started running towards them.

"It's coming!" Yuji said

Stab*

A metal spear suddenly pierced through the Akuma's head from above.

"Where does that thing even come from!?" Yuji asked.

"Oh, so you didn't notice," Yukina said, "I make it fly around above me every time,"

"I see..." Yuji said, "anyways what should we do? we can't keep running like this,".

"Your right..." said Yukina, "We have to do something to lose it somehow..."

Suddenly numerous Akumas emerged from the next building they were about to jump into.

"CRAP!" Yuji said, "How do that many low classes even get up there?"

"A high tier B class..." Yukina said.

"What?" Yuji said.

"It's the kind of Akuma above B yet below A... it has little intelligence, enough to bring low-class Akumas with it to secure a certain target,"

"WHAT!? how come I don't know this!?"

"You seem to be confident in your knowledge... but I don't blame you... it's not something you can learn here in this city..."

"I guess I should just ask later..." Yuji said, "how are we going to get past those first?"

"There's also that arch demon behind us..." Yukina pointed out.

They turned around and saw the massive arch demon getting closer and closer to them.

"..."

"Hey..." Yuji said, "You've faced that arch demon before right... that's why you know all this?"

"Your sharp, yeah I have... multiple times already,".

"How do you get away from it?"

They suddenly stopped, a little distant from the gap separating the building they are on and the one with numerous Akumas.

The shaking of the ground became stronger and stronger as the archdemon gets near.

The high-class Akuma behind numerous Akumas on the next building stood still waiting.

Feeling cornered, thinking of what to do, Yukina stared at Yuji.

"I get away... by fighting it..." Yukina replied.
