The Akuma

Chapter 22 - Life 22: No Rest For The Wicked

'Hmm lets see, the first murder victim was killed near the cities motorway, but the only thing near that is the abandoned factories no longer used by a long ago bankrupt clothing company.'

'It's surely the best place to hide and continue making queer incidents occur. Meaning I'll have to head over there, and after that I'll patrol the streets- like they say... No Rest For The Wicked.'

Thought Furuichi as he quickly suited up after his mouth echoed out "HENSHIN!"

Instantly the figure of the silverette was gone as now standing in his place was a stoic figure with bulging muscles and black armour upon him with two ears of sorts poking from the top of his head.

"Shi-chan, I'm heading out to patrol the city, keep a tab upon the old factories near Kurama Cities motorways and also inform me of any crimes along the way I can quickly solve."

Hearing this the little robot said "Hai!" in response as Furuichi quickly made his way to his window before leaping off like a speeding bullet reaching the other side instantly.

With just his pure power he zoomed through the city with a physique so strong and fast that it could rival even Superheroes from movies.

Especially a certain red and blue starred patriot, Akuma headed towards the cities skylines as he leapt off of the ground like a ninja of sorts he leaped from each building to another building.

Gliding through the air as he leaped from each rooftop.

Down below a young child was walking home with his mother when he spotted the sight of "Akuma!!"

Upon the skyscr.a.p.ers, alerting his mother as she turned to look but saw nothing as she quickly scolded her child for telling a lie.

"Mum I'm pretty sure Akuma was just there, you gotta believe me, I'm not lying."

The mother grunted hearing this and tightened her grip upon her son's hand. "Oga I've told you so many times to not lie and yet you continue to lie, surely you don't want to end up like the boy who cried wolf."

"But Mummm!!"

-Ketsueki Tō:-

A lone figure waited it out as he sat upon the blood towers top pillar that seemed to pierce through the skies.

As the dark clad figure slowly descended down a step landing on a Senshi a gargoyle like figure that was supposed to represent the fallen warriors of the Federation.

He landed on it and squatted on it before using his eagle vision to observe the streets below him.

Looking for any muggings, murders and **** attempts.

But so far he'd found none so far- making him form a grin over his ability to scare off criminals in Kurama City.

But it wasn't right- something was strange, normally a gang or two would try to equalise a deal or two but today nothing happened.

Startling the lone dark figure as his observations were halted due to this unusualness.

"*Sigh, once more there's no movements from the criminals- as if it's a strategic retreat of some sort..."

Said Akuma, as he crossed his arms looking toward the city streets, as the skyscr.a.p.ers and cars with multiple lights seemingly turned the city into a light show of sorts calming the mind soon after.

Seeing as that there was no crime within the most crime ridden area in Kurama City.

Akuma took out a Demon Fruit from his Henshin Bracelet and consumed it with a nice crunch playing music to his ears.

'Energy Manipulation, huh- I wonder which villain will want to face my wrath now...'

I'd seemingly got the ability to use a flow of energy and change it's mold into whatever shape I wanted be it a car a motorcycle whatever it was I could form it with this energy, and the coolest thing about it was that it could become denser at my will.

Meaning I could use it to fly but also so much more than just that.

With a thought I had already created red energy wings upon my back as I leaped downwards heading back home, my patrolling was over and now it was for sleeping.

And with a quick whoosh I flew my way home. I was powerful I knew that, I was also human, I was scared, greedy and full of emotions.

I was a hero for quite a while now, it had been 3 months already and soon after many other countries had their own Evolvers acting as superheroes, but I...

I was the original also known as the Unidentified Lifeform #1.

Yes to the government's across the world I was the first being to exert such supernatural power.

And for that I was constantly monitored though Shiori always scrambled up the cameras and other electronics in my direct vicinity, allowing me a form of mysterious and anonymity.

"Shi-chan, have you detected any new movements in the old factories...any new incoming lorry full of drugs and merchandise, the usual..."

"Unfortunately, master I've not picked up any sort of suspicious reading upon the factory, matter of fact that factory has been as motionless as a sloth in regards to any gangs occupying it."

"Hmm so still no movements. Shiori show me some news articles done by Nagasawa Shiina..."

"Yes master..."

'Akuma... Friend Or Foe...'

'How My Life Got Turned Upside Down... By A Devil!'

'Limited Edition First Ever Interview With Kurama Cities... Akuma!!'

'Akuma... Etc'

"... WHOA!"

"Holy sh*t, i think this woman is obsessed over me, she's written already 300 news articles of me in only three months, I don't think this is healthy, in the least."

Said Akuma, as his face cringed in shock as he felt a chill in his body over seeing the obsessiveness of Nagasawa-san.

It felt like she was stalking his every move like she could locate him wherever he was, like was prey being hunted by a predator. This woman was insane I'll tell you, insane.

And to put the cherry on top she always made his character be extremely patriotic to the federation as well as being extremely heroic, with only justice on his mind.

He didn't mind it but he found it strange not to say the least.

Changing the subject he called Shiori again with another matter in hand.

"Shi-chan, remember that house I wanted to buy a while ago, well has the payment been finalised, and finally when do we move in."

"Yes master, I've sorted this all out the payment has already been made and we paid the full sum so no mortgage payments and such. Due to the amount of money you've made off of your brand and patent owner of Akuma."

Now you may be wondering what is she talking about, what brand, what patent owner of The Akuma.

Well when The Akuma first came out I copyrighted his name as well as his image suit and logo, immediately with the help of Shiori meaning every company that wanted to make Akuma socks, shoes, shirts and such was paying me royalties for every pair sold.

It was good money to say the least and slowly my net worth was rising every single day due to this.

Meaning no needing to work for me, cause Akuma was a public figure idolised by children as the closest thing to a Super-Man.

Meaning the more media coverage I got the more money I made since more and more people wanted a piece of the pie.
