[ At first, Allen's the one who actually falters ever so slightly. Just because its cries, how its attention seemed to shift... was it talking to Todoroki as well? It seemed like that, but he has no time to really dwell on the oddity.
The akuma pulls itself out and it's listing heavily. Its belly torn open with a black, oil-like blood oozing from it. A large diagonal cut from where the sword was hammered into it but ultimately cut a deep slash instead of the bisecting pierce they'd meant it to. But the akuma is listing drunkenly from it, and despite its resilience to everything save its own dark matter and Innocence it looks dented and pummeled from Shouto's ice. One leg hangs away from its body, nearly severed entirely.
It screams at them though, in twain with the soul, and fires. Machinegun fire starts to spray wildly in their direction, peppering the ground by their feet, and Allen takes off running, his tattered and bullet-riddled cloak trailing behind him. In a strafing pattern, circling around closer to it as it focuses most of its rage on him. Exorcist. ]
I'll draw its fire! [ His body can neutralize the virus, it's fine. The corrupting additional effect... he'll deal with that later. ]
We just need to try and stop it from being able to move! [ Leverage, he needs to be able to get the leverage needed to rip through it fully.
