A blinding white light appeared, causing you and Loki to shield your eyes. When the light dimmed down you uncovered your eyes and stared and the still standing Hachirou.

"Why isn't he disappearing like mom did?" You asked, trembling slightly.

"As long as one knows the handsigns, the reanimated can rescind the reanimation contract." He explained.

"Rescind?" Loki repeated.

"And when that happens, you get the biggest problem of them all. An immortal body with infinite chakra that can move without control." He finished. You slightly gulped, not liking the situation.

"Isn't that just fucking great..." You said, glancing at Loki.

"Don't worry. This guy has to have some weakness, right? It'll be okay." He soothed. You nodded, still a little unsure, but you refused to let him see you weak.

"We just have to watch him like a hawk. I have Azula and Cer on high alert too." You said.

"Well then. Let's just cut to the main act." He said while doing handsigns.

"Forbidden Art: Nine Circles of Hell!" He called out. Yours and Loki's eyes widened at the nine circles that appeared below him.

That's not good! Y/n, each of those attacks will most likely kill you if you don't dodge! Find a way to stay alive! Don't forget you have people who you need to return to!

'I know that, idiot!!'

"Y/n. Up until now, you've proven you're worthy of being a member of the Akuma clan. However, let's see how you do against the full strength of Hachirou Akuma!" He declared.

"Talking in third person... he's almost as crazy as me..." You muttered.

"Dark Style: Ice Land of Death." He said. The blue circle rotated underneath his feet before it slowly moved infront of him. The top of it started glowing white before blood red ice shot out of it in spikes into the air.

MOVE BRAT!!

'I know that!'

You and Loki both started dodging each of the ice spikes that rained down on top of you. However, you miscalculated the distance between you and a spike of ice so the back of your shoulder got scraped.

'Shit.' You thought while holding it, still dodging the ice.

DUMBASS!! USE YOUR FIRE!!!!

'Ohhhhhhhh yeahhhhhhhhh...'

-sigh-

You used your uninjured arm to create a fire shield above you. All of the ice that fell towards the fire melted and completely evaporated. Once the rain of ice ended, the circle placed itself back to its original position. You wiped your hand against your bleeding shoulder and licked some blood up from your finger. Luckily, the wound closed almost immediately. Hachirou's eyes sparkled at this discovery.

"I see. So you possess the ability to heal yourself or others by drinking your blood. Interesting..." He muttered.

"That's right. Besides, the healing doesn't work unless I allow it. Meaning if you take my blood by force and drink it without my permission the opposite will happen." You stated.

"Opposite?" Hachirou repeated.

"You'll get poisoned. However, you're already dead, so that wouldn't work on you." You added.

"I see. Now then, let's see how you deal with this." He said as the circle with the 'calamity' Kanji rotated. The circle rose off the ground and into the sky. Suddenly, you heard a crack of thunder before dark grey clouds started to swirl around in the sky. You could faintly sense lightning being charged up in the middle of the clouds.

Y/n!!! Prepare yourself! This bolt of lightning is unavoidable and is going to split the ground apart! Same thing Loki!

"I know I know!" Both you and Loki said.

"Dark Style: Lightning Hammer!!" Hachirou said. The bolt of lightning flashed towards the ground, causing a flash of light to severely blind you before everything exploded. You covered your eyes along with your head to protect you from any flying rocks and debris.

"HIME!!!!" Loki screamed before wrapping his arm around your waist. Fire spread apart from Loki, forming into a phoenix and pulled you up. (like Naruto in his Kyuubi mode.)

"Idiot Loki, I could fly up myself." You said to him, coughing on the smoke and dust.

"It didn't look like that to me." He retorted with a slight smirk.

"Shut the fuck up you apple..." You muttered.

"Did you call me apple because I'm the apple of your eye?" He asked with a large smirk. You just had to take a moment to stare at him, deadpanning him with the blankest expression you could do.

"Are you an idiot?" You simply said, making him pout. You and him landed on the ground, the fire phoenix disintegrating. You looked around and saw a big ass crater where the lightning bolt struck.

"Tch. Let's do this shit..." You muttered before doing handsigns.

"Demon Style: Incinerate!!" You called out before blasting a BIG ASS BALL from your mouth. Once it touched the ground, it exploded to an even bigger fireball. You thought you saw Hachirou create a shield around him, but it was too late.

'Demon Style: Flame Possession!!" You thought before black flames emerged from your mouth and slowly took over the r/o/y fireball. You snapped your teeth shut, causing a chain reaction to happen. The fireball exploded in a fiery blaze, setting broken trees aflame. All of a sudden, you felt this enormous amount of chakra at 8:00. You snapped you head in that direction, your senses on high.

"Loki, do you feel that?" You asked the God next to you. Said boy nodded.

"Mm hm. I've never felt something with so much chakra besides you." He replied.

"It's the ten tails." Hachirou said, flying above the two of you.

"When the shit did you get there?" You asked quietly.

"Ten tails?" You repeated.

"Of course. Did you really expect an eleven and twelve tailed beast to exist, but not ten?" He asked. Your gaze hardened.

"It's also about time I rejoin them." He said, the circles one again reappearing. You brought your sword out, pushing Loki behind you.

"You're not going anywhere as long as I'm alive!" You boldly called out. He stared at you before smirking.

"Very well then. It seems I'll have to kill you before I can leave." He said.

'Old man Hachi isn't good at close range combat. So he'll use long range or mid range Jutsu.' You thought before getting into a stance. The circle that had the Kanji word 'Apocalypse' rotated.

Be careful. This one summons zombies.

'For fucks sake Ruby-chan this isn't the fucking Walking Dead for hell's sake...'

Ruby-chan: Shut up, otherwise I'll kill you off!!!

"Dark Style: The Walking Dead." Hachirou said.

Roll credits.

I DON'T OWN THE WALKING DEAD!!!!

Hideous abominations were being slowly created by the circle and soon enough you had an army of zombies headed your way.

'Oh fuck me with a brick and call me Sally...'
