Annd back. (THNMY)

Akuma was on that accursed null-isle, drowning in his own blood thanks to a RIDICULOUS combat situation with some metal-plated weakling, as fantastical imaginings of what he would do if he had his strength danced through his head...

Then nothing.

It was over. The striving, the pain, the hidden misery and darkened guilt, the constant clenched-in control over his raging inner fires; all the tolls demanded and prices paid in his quest for star-touching greatness? Gone.

Akuma could finally rest...

And then back he was! The same spot where he had, just a few days ago, been abducted from his attempts at stalking dinner, and apparently unharmed as well! The infamous kanji quickly reformed on the back of that tattered black uniform drenched in his own blood, complete with that gaping hole in the side where his life had spilled out...

"RHHHAAAAAAAGGH!!"

This was a matter of LIFE AND DEATH! No second chances, no 'do-overs', SO WHY COULDN'T HE REST IN PEACE!?

For a moment he considered just re-ending it himself.. But no. That was the coward's route. Besides, that blue abomination was UNWORTHY of his life; he could not let that defeat stand!

Take the world back on those shoulders, Akuma; you'll be heading into the Nexus once more.. Eventually.

You may have to work off some rage and aggression before you can be at least semi-rational.
