Ireland - Unintentional Mass

"I'm no phony." grins the clone as he stands up straight, noting that the Exorcists hadn't attacked, "I'm the real thing. Maybe you should shoot me and find out for yourself!"

*Allen stood there and gritted his teeth as he stayed there. He had wanted to get information out of this fake, but at the same time he was very tempted to take his offer.*

"Well, if your done, I guess I'll be preparing my next act! Ta-ta~" he said in a strange sing-song voice as he went to wrap his cape around himself.

*As soon as Allen saw this, he opened fire at it, but it was too late. The clone was gone.*

*Yan was going to attack but stopped, she wanted to attack but didn't and should have*

"Dame it" Yan said as saw the clone vanish under his cape and Allen open fire at him. She went over to Allen "You should have done that earlier, His Aura was different from the real Masque" Yan said then turned around to face the low leveled Akuma*

"Goddammit, Allen!" *Kaele shrieked furiously when the clone disappeared, kicking his hamstring. Allen was silent as his leg collapsed and Kanda joined in on the bashing.*

"What the hell, baka moyashi?? You had him!" *Kanda screamed. Allen sighed, his face turning from blank to frowning. Kaele knew what his face was saying even though he stared at the dirt. Miranda stood fidgety behind Lavi and Chaoji before leaving to help the other exorcists with the akuma. Kanda became exasperated after a moment of quiet and followed Miranda. Kaele bent down next to Allen, staring off at a small island with a lighthouse.*

*She whispered;* "You knew it wasn't Masque... Why didn't you shoot?"

*Allen glanced at her from underneath his hair, not able to see her eyes. He looked back down at blood red hand with a smile. He jumped up, activating his Innocence and running towards a large level 2 before she even glanced over her shoulder. She sighed.*

"What is it, Kaele-chan?" *Lavi asked in a happy tone. Kaele found it pesky.*

"I don't know. I guess it's annoying how predictable some people are." *She said with a sigh.* "You want to help me find the real Masque? He's got to be around here somewhere, I doubt he'd leave 'before the show starts', as he'd say."

*The clone smiled as he re-appeared to where Masque was, still unconscious. He chuckled loudly as he took the real staff and placed it within his own hat. Then, it banged the staff, and within a few seconds, the clone's body disappeared within the staff, allowing the staff to fall onto Masque, hitting him on the head.*

"Urg." said the real Masque as he sat up, now holding the cloned staff unknowingly, "I swear, that thing will be dead when I get a hold of it."






((Basically, Masque is now in possession of the Akuma version of his staff.))

"Well let's not hesitate, let's go" Yan said then walked over to the buildings killing any Akuma in the way*

*Allen and the rest of the exorcists destroyed the rest of akuma easily with their leader disappearing. Lavi, Yan, Kaele, and a couple others searched for Masque on the grounds, which were mutilated and covered with empty akuma pieces.*

"Masque! Masque?" *Lavi called. He sighed.* "What if he left?"

"I really doubt that, you know." *Kaele said bluntly while thinking.* "Like I said, he came here not because of us or the akuma. There's something really going on here and he wouldn't leave just yet. Masque~!! Where are you?" *She sang, her hands cupped around her lips.*

"well I don't think other Akuma would be around him if another coped him" Yan said with a sigh as she looked around, not calling his name*

"Copied him?" *Kaele repeated incredulously. She glanced over at Lavi, who was shrugging.*

"Yeah, I read something of a an Akuma that copied the enemies appearance, but it looked more like a refection instead, they could also use there abilities too" Yan continued as she still looked for Masque*

*Masque stood up, dusting his bruised self on as he looked around. He was in an alley, a few feet from falling softly into a dumpster. Great he thought to himself A few more feet and I would have smelled like garbage rather than feeling like it. I'm so going to destroy that wretched thing. He stood up and walked out of the alley, deciding to walk to the town square rather than fly, just in case more things were on the building tops to surprise him. Normally it wouldn't matter, but he'd rather be around allies than enemies.*

"Oh yeah! I remember fighting an akuma like that. He was difficult." *Allen said, his hand twitching. Kaele remembered when he told her of what happened. She didn't say anything.*

*Lavi tapped Kaele and Allen's shoulders, pointing forward towards a rather round looking shadow in the alley. Kaele smiled, but she couldn't help but dislike the queer man.*

"Masque! Is it really you or the copy?" *Allen shouted as he began to walk slower the closer he got.*

*As Masque approached Allen's eye activated, seeing the soul of the Akuma within the staff. Immediately, he activated his gun and pointed it at him, angered. Masque paused as he saw his threatening nature.*

"What the hell? I'm the real Masque. Put that bloody thing do-" he started as Allen shot a wave of rounds, convinced by the soul that this was a fraud.

*Masque used his 'staff' to enhance his abilities, dodging the gunfire.*

"ALLEN-KUN that's the real Masques-kun, . .I can tell with his aura" Yan said as she turned her body to face Allen " and his words" She continued then faced Masque-kun and felt something wrong but she didn't know what*
