* At the town's cemetery. *
"You can see the soul of an Akuma? You can save them?" the Earl questioned Allen. "Try and do it if you can!"
The Earl then sat on Akuma Leo.
"EXORCIST!"
Akuma Leo shot its Blood Bullets, but Allen managed to block them. The Earl was disappointed in the result.
"Since the virus didn't work, you think simply shooting me will do the job?" Allen asked with a grin. "Don't underestimate me. You only managed to hit me last time because I was protecting Jan. You won't kill me with that kind of attack." Allen said provokingly. "The Anti-Akuma Weapon activated by my left hand possess enormous strength and speed. An Akuma's bullets and hard body are no use against this hand." Allen's grin disappeared. "This was made to destroy your weapon. It is God's weapon."
The Earl tilted his head.
"Hmph." He grunted. "Ignorant."
He then held up an umbrella with a pumpkin head at the cap of the umbrella.
"All right then," He said.
The tip of the umbrella glowed. Something started to appear.
"There's a famous saying in the East," the Earl said. "Even with a crappy gun... shoot a lot and you'll hit something." Thousands of Akuma appeared all around the cemetery. "I have a hell a lot of Akuma. GO-!" The Earl ordered. "AKUMA CANNON!" The Akumas' started shooting their Blood Bullets.
"JAN!" Allen called. "GET OUT OF HERE! I'LL DESTROY THEM ALL!" Allen charged.
"Destroy..." Jan repeated.
Lacie put her hand on Jan's shoulder and he looked at her.
"Jan, don't worry. We'll get all of them so that they can rest in peace, so get out of here." Lacie said.
Lacie put Death on her shoulder and charged too.
An Akuma is a Devil's weapon, created by the Earl. An enemy of the people. They are something that must be destroyed... Jan thought. I thought I knew... Jan remembered the past. "Yo, this isn't good Leo, Akuma takes over the bodies of the ones they've killed. Ew, grotesque, I can't understand it! I'm also scared of you for reading so casually! With this theory, we would never know who was an Akuma." Leo complained. Leo's mom... all of a sudden... Leo... you were so shocked by your's mom death that... you developed a darkness within you? We even patrolled together to find Akuma. We knew that The Earl of the Millennium was a bad guy. But... you... you took in the Earl? Jan thought.
Jan was outside of the cemetery. He gripped the bars.
"You... idiot... you're an idiot, Leo..." Jan mumbled. "You wanted to see your mom again, even if she was going to be an Akuma... I can't see an Akuma's soul like Allen can. And I can't see them cry, but... but... God damn it..." Jan cried. "GOD DAMN IT!" He shouted. "Sorry, Leo. It's my fault for telling you about the Earl in the first place... I only knew about them, and I knew nothing about people." Jan looked up at Akuma Leo. "ALLEN! LACIE! DESTROY IT!" Jan shouted.
Allen and Lacie had just destroyed half of them.
"Good night. It will be over after one attacks." Allen said.
Lacie then landed on the ground and threw Death as if it was a boomerang.
"Deathly Throw!" Lacie said and Death slashed through the Akumas'.
Allen was next. He slashed through every single Akuma including Akuma Leo.
"Cross Grave!" Allen said.
All the Akumas' shattered. The Earl was flying with his umbrella.
"Dang." He said. "I guess I won't be able to handle the two of you at this level. I'll flee for now!"
"EARL!" Allen called.
"But this is just the beginning. Akuma will be evolving all around the world. This is the true beginning of the final act."
The pumpkin on the umbrella opened its mouth and inside was a small clock.
"I AM THE CREATOR OF THE AKUMA, THE EARL OF THE MILLENNIUM! I SHALL PURIFY THIS WORLD OF THE CORRUPTED 'GODS', AND BRING THE WORLD TO AN END! GOD'S PRIESTS, THE EXORCISTS... YOU CAN STRUGGLE ALL YOU WANT, BUT YOU WON'T BE ABLE TO SAVE THE WORLD! Never!" the Earl disappeared. "Hahahaha!"
"Just the beginning..." Lacie repeated.
Lacie then fell down on the ground unconscious. Death lost its shape of a scythe and turned into liquid. Allen also fell down but was still conscious. His right arm was bleeding a lot.
"ALLEN!? LACIE!?" Jan called.
He ran over to Allen and Lacie.
"Jan..." Allen said weakly. "I'm sorry, but could you call the doctor?"
Jan looked at Allen amazed at how much blood was spilling.
"Wow, so much blood!"
Jan started to cry and his tears landed on Allen.
"Hic... hic..."
Allen looked up at Jan.
"I'll bring a doctor... soon... so..." Jan laid his head on Allen. "Could you just faint until then...? It'll be over soon." Jan said.
Allen did and Jan went to go get a doctor for them.
~ 3 days later ~
* At Jan's house. *
"What are you making?" Allen asked from behind.
"AH!" Jan screamed in surprise. "WHAT THE HELL, DON'T JUST WALK RIGHT INTO THE ROOM!"
"I knocked, but you didn't notice." Allen looked over Jan's shoulders. In Jan's hands was a cross. "A cross...?"
"It's Leo's epitaph." Jan removed his goggles and looked at the cross. "He's considered a run-away, so no one knows that he's dead. Until they notice and put up a grave for him." Jan trailed off.
"You're going to the Exorcist Headquarters, right Allen?" Jan asked.
"Yeah." Allen replied. "Timcampy is going crazy."
Timcampy was flying back and forth with Allen's ribbon.
"I'd better start heading out after I wake up Lacie."
"I'm going to my dad's place." Jan said and faced Allen. "I'll study more and gain some power, since I know I can't do much right now."
"All right... then, let's both try our best!" Allen said and the two fist bumped.
