So you were probably thinking, "Who was this Sol? Tina?"

Well, they weren't OC's, mind you. They were created by Hoshino-sensei herself and so help me God I don't own them!~

If you really wanna know where they were mentioned then go to a manga site and go to chapter forty-four page seven. There you will see them, dead!~ (Though, there was a typo of Sol's name but, oh well!)

Hope you'll like this… *Spanks herself*

Chapter One: Calm Before the Storm

Allen was sitting at the seat that Sheryl sat a little while ago, remembering the encounter with the exorcist while cupping where the woman had stabbed him.

It was a good thing that they had the ark, or he would have been dead because of blood loss. Although, there was one thing that was unusual, Tyki didn't call the ark since, he said, that he can't control it. Allen did.

Tyki had called him something else too: the 'fourteenth.'

He pondered who this 'fourteenth' Tyki was talking about. Allen knew, because the Duke had explained to him the moment they had gotten here the first time, that there were only thirteen original Noahs. So who was this 'fourteenth'?

Maybe that person was an exorcist? No, that can't be. Only a Noah can control the ark.

Maybe the Duke would explain to him when they get here. But do they trust him enough to tell him that? He had an innocence attached to his arm. He was supposed to be an enemy to them.

But he was loyal to the Duke and the Noahs—partly—since they were the one that took him in when Mana died. They have accepted him—though not fully—as a part of the family, he knew he was an important asset in their war.

Why else would the Duke want him alive than dead?

He was brought back to reality when he heard the shuffling of feet and the indecorous jabbering of Rhode's voice. Rhode was talking about something like homework. Allen couldn't help but chuckle.

When Allen knew they were close enough, he stood up. "Good morning, Duke, Tyki," he said politely to the approaching figures.

"Good morning, Allen," said the Duke in his monocle and dress garment.

The Duke and others sat down beside the elegantly-designed seat that Allen sat.

Though Allen had a polite smiling face and a composed façade, he can't help become nervous since all of them, except Rhode, looked serious.

"Boy," said Tyki as he took a cup of tea from the akuma maid. "You were probably wondering who the 'fourteenth' was."

Allen nodded at this. Even though he was twelve, he wanted to know the truth, who this 'fourteenth' was and why Tyki had called him that.

"The 'fourteenth' was a Noah."

They all looked at the Duke, who was adding sugar to his tea. "He was the youngest noah and was the only one who had complete control over the ark."

Allen nodded again. "But how come you only said that there were thirteen Noahs? Why hide the existence of the 'fourteenth?'"

The Duke drank a bit of his tea before adding more sugar into it. "He was a traitor. He placed a curse upon the ark so that it may not move anymore. He stole it's power—it's wings—so that it can't move from Edo, Japan. I killed him personally."

Allen looked slightly perplexed. "Then what is the connection between me and the 'fourteenth?'"

This time, Tyki answered. "Before he got killed by the Duke, he gave his powers to somebody, the Musician. You," he added to a surprised Allen.

The Duke continued for Tyki and said, "He also had an older brother. From the time he got accepted into the Noah family to the point where he betrayed me and got killed, there was one person that stuck to him all that time. Mana Walker," he said, leaving Allen shocked and speechless.

Allen struggled to think properly from the revelation. He struggled to talk but it felt like something was stuck in his throat. His wide eyes never left the Duke's vague gaze.

After a short while, Allen finally got hold of his voice. "Th-then…?" he was almost afraid to ask. Was he going to get killed like the 'fourteenth.'?

The Duke lowered his cup and placed it on the table. "That means," he said, "that you are both a Noah and an accommodator of the innocence. An unusual boy, you are. And no, I will not kill you," he assured as though he read Allen's mind. "I have decided to give the 'fourteenth' a second chance at the family. Since I know that you, Allen, are loyal to me. Am I wrong?"

Allen shook his head, much to the Duke's pleasure. "I will be loyal to you, Duke. I will not be corrupted by the exorcists and I will the let the 'fourteenth's' will obscure my own."

The Duke looked satisfied with Allen's speech and began drinking his tea again. After a short while of silence, the Duke spoke up again. "I fear that the exorcist general, Cross Marian, may be up to something with my akuma egg. Allen," he said as Allen's silver eyes met his', "we may know if you are really the Musician if you can control it, the ark. Though, we must capture Cross first. He seems to be associated with the 'fourteenth' and may know something more than we do."

Everyone nodded at this. "Tyki," said the Duke, "continue training Allen with the akumas—bring as much as you think he can handle. Though, don't let him fight with an exorcist yet this time. Don't even show him to any exorcists. I want to keep his existence as a secret until I think it is appropriate to shown them Allen."

Tyki nodded and stood up. "I'll guess I'll see you later, brother Sheryl, Rhode," he said and turned to Allen. "Let's go, boy."

Allen quickly stood up, bowed to the Duke and waved goodbye to Sheryl and Rhode before trotting behind Tyki without saying a word.

Allen: Five months later

Allen Camelot was standing in the middle of the forest, alone and was waiting. He knew they were heading here, he just had to wait. He will kill them all, destroy them. He liked seeing things get destroyed by his own two hands—or more specifically—his left hand.

It felt good, destroying. At first, he would have trembled at the thought of destroying people with stomach-churning ghosts floating up above them. But now, he can destroy them with ease.

Tyki liked to train him in—mostly—the woods and sometimes near towns where Tyki and his mining friends spend the night in the inn. Allen however, would sleep in the most luxurious hotels a town could have. He didn't have to pay, mostly, since most of the time the owners would be akuma.

This time, Tyki picked the latter. As Allen waited patiently for the level two akumas to arrive, he was pondering about the 'fourteenth' and Mana.

Those two were brothers. Didn't Mana say he loved him? Did he actually mean Allen? Or did he mean the 'fourteenth'?

Allen shook his head. No, he thought. Mana loved me for who I was, not for who was inside of me.

But then again, they could never know if he was really the player left by the 'fourteenth.' Not until they caught this Cross Marian. And from the looks of it, he could feel that this exorcist was stronger than the one he killed.

Of course he'd be stronger, he thought to himself. I fought an exorcist without her weapon with her. And I almost died. But then again, he did hesitate in killing the woman.

But he knew this time would be different. Should he encounter an exorcist one more time he will not hesitate in killing said exorcist. Tyki always said that to have fun, you've got to be evil.

Allen wondered if he could have a little fun too once in a while.

He heard a shuffling of feet, assuming it would be the akuma Tyki sent for, he headed towards it.

"Are you sure you know the way, idiot? We seem to be lost," said an irritated voice as the figure came closer to Allen's direction.

"Of course, I'm not, stupid! I'm sure this is where those other people disappeared, and see? There's nothing in here so I win the bet! Now give me those euros," he demanded to the bigger and bulkier one.

Both of the men were big, yes, but Allen didn't flinch nor did his eyes betray him and showed fear. Every inch of his body was relaxed.

The smaller one seemed to have noticed him and said, "Hey look! A kid! What's he doin' right here?"

The other one shrugged his massive shoulders. "I dunno. But he does look rich. You thinkin' what I'm thinkin'?" he asked, his eyes full of malice.

Allen frowned at them. He knew what they were thinking alright. It insulted him that they think they could over-power him. They thought they could rob him? Allen smiled at the thought.

'You've got to be evil to have fun.'

His smile turned into a giggling fit.

The bigger would-be robber stared at him, looking slightly uncomfortable. The kid was going to get robbed and all he could do was laugh? This kid's lost it, the bigger one concluded.

The other one seemed to be oblivious to the bigger one's worries and began to clench his fists. "What are you laughing about, brat?"

Allen didn't stop giggling at the men. So men like them are so easy to tease, and Allen liked it. His giggles were enough to make the two men—even slightly—become unnerved.

"You're one messed up kid, you know that?" said the smaller one. Allen could see veins appear on his temples and his face was becoming an ugly shade of maroon.

"You… you…," Allen managed to speak and finally stopped giggling—though he was now grinning. "You actually believe you can touch me, human?"

The bigger one seemed to be smarter since he looked perplexed at the sentence. The smaller one, meanwhile, took the insult in and became angrier. "Who do you think you are, kid?"

He was about to step forward when he heard a slashing and splattering noise behind him. "Wha—?" he said as he turned around.

What was his companion earlier was now a puddle of blood. He screamed at this while Allen tilted his head to the side. "What's this?" he frowned.

It was a level three akuma. It's black armor gleamed in the sunlight. And it was holding a bloody, bulky human in it's right hand. "I was sent here by master Tyki to fight you, master Walker," it laughed. "And if you loose, I get to kill you!"
