Allen is seating down in a chair with Road sitting across his lap, happily hugging him around the neck as he holds her around the waist. All the training he has gone through catching up to him at this moment. 'I am an Akuma through this whole encounter. I can't let them know I am human or they may try to take me away from my fam-,' His thoughts being cut off by a small whimpering noise coming from their right. The white hair boy looks over at the woman Miranda, who they have nailed her, hands to a grandfather clock. After they had forced Miranda to show them where her precious little clock was, they did a bit of investigation and realized that only the Woman could touch the clock. So Road thought it would be humorous to nail the woman's hands to the clock, so she can forever touch it. They are now waiting in Road's dream world for the three akuma left to capture the two exorcists.
"Ah! They have finished in capturing them~!" Road sang and jumps from Allen's lap.
"P-please," Allen once again looks over at Miranda, tears over flooding her eyes as she stares at him, "P-please let m-me go."
Allen normally would have answered, but this wasn't a normal circumstance. He wouldn't nor couldn't answer her. So instead he just smiles warmly her way, surprising her and making her stutter even more. Road giggles and skips back over to Allen and straddle him, "Are you flirting Allen?" The way Road asks, says that she is just curious, but the glint in her eyes give away her jealousy.
"No. Mistress Road." Allen says with a straight face. Road blinks a few times, but she then throws her arms around him again.
"Good. You wouldn't want me to think I was losing you to someone else," It was then that the three akuma show up with the two exorcists. The red hair one, looking completely beaten and the pigtails one, is paralyzed. "Yay~!" Road sings. She conjures a second chair, "set pigtails over there on that chair. I'm going to have fun playing dress up!" She claps her hands happily.
"What about this one?" The three headed akuma asks, throwing the red hair one to the ground.
"Oh I have special plans for him. Chain him up," She points to the now made chains against the wall in front of them. Allen leans against the arm of the chair, placing his head in the palm of his hand. He lets out a sigh of boredom. Its not that what Road plans isn't fun but the fact he can't do anything unless Road says something is what makes this whole thing boring. Knowing the Noah, who have tried to keep him from harms way, will continue to keep him from harms way. So if there is any fighting going down Road will make sure that Allen is with she at all times. "Allen, come help me with pigtails," Road says.
Allen throws her a disbelieving look, but was granted with a stern look. He gets up and walks over to Road. "What is it that you need help with exactly?"
"Never mind, I think I have this all handled!" She pats Allen on the head, "But now since you are up you can help chain the other exorcist up!" She turns back to dolling up the female exorcist.
The white hair boy growls deep in his throat but goes to help chain up the male exorcist. 'I guess Road doesn't care if the woman sees that I am not an Akuma. After all none of them will be living at the end of this, but something tells me that this isn't going to be as easy as Road is making it seem.' He looks back at Miranda, who is still crying non-stop but at the same time watching everything that's going on intently. 'Road should start calling me Akuma instead of Allen. Something just doesn't sit right with letting the woman know that I am human.' A groan pulls his attention back to the make exorcist. Allen grins at him as his eyes flutter open to see him standing in front of him. Allen pulls on the chain making the red hair exorcist yelp. "It's nice and tight," Allen whispers to him.
"Oh~! He is awake!" Road waves at them and Allen walks back to her side.
The red hair exorcist looks straight at them and his eyes go wide at seeing his fellow exorcist there. "Linali!" He yells.
"So that is her name…" Road muses and straightens the dress she had put on the exorcist.
"Don't touch her!" He shouts and struggles against the chains.
The three Akuma float in front of them, "I wouldn't do anything. She is Road's doll now."
Allen wants to speak up, but his voice is stuck in his throat. To see the exorcist moving, talking, struggling, clenches his throat shut out of fear or is it something else? Road moves beside him, obviously from noticing his rigid figure struggling to act natural. "Your not an Akuma," Allen hears the exorcist say. At first Allen that he was talking to him, but looking at where his eyes fall, he realizes that he is talking to Road.
The little Noah giggles, "Nope~! I'm human!" She says gleefully, her smile turning into a grin, "But you should already know that bookman." Road's skin begins to turn to an ashen gray and she gets seven pentacles along her forehead. Allen has only seen The Noah's do this in the Arc. He never thought they would be able to do it outside the arc.
The boy turns his attention to the male exorcist, who is staring wide eyed at Road. "A Noah… I didn't think you would involve yourselves so soon…"
"Technically we aren't suppose to let ourselves be known yet," Road muses and walks forward, "But what fun is there if I have to hide my presence?"
"Lavi…" They all turn their attention to Miranda.
"Miranda!" The Male exorcist, apparently called Lavi, shouts, "Don't worry Miranda. I'll get us out of here."
The blue fire looking Akuma, chuckles. "Get out of here? I don't think so. You are in Road's dream world. There is no way out."
Lavi glares at the Akuma. That's when his eye, that isn't covered by an eye-patch, sees Allen standing in the back ground with a blank look. "Is he a Noah too?"
Finally the white hair boy moves forward so he is standing just behind Road, "I'm not that lucky to be like them."
"So you are an Akuma. Why haven't you shredded your skin then and show your true self?"
"Why should I shred my skin when I am perfectly fine looking human?" Allen could tell that Lavi did not believe that he was an Akuma and was about to press the matter further, but Road interrupts them.
"He is not of importance. At least not yet," Road turns her attention to Miranda, "I think it's about time I end your pathetic life." The Noah conjures over two dozen pointy candles and aims them at her.
"No!" Lavi shouts. Allen wasn't sure how but the male exorcist managed to escape the chains and put himself in front of the candles, "Little hammer, big hammer, grow, grow, grow!" The hammer mostly protected Miranda, leaving Lavi out to be injured.
"Well, aren't you an interesting fellow," Road says calmly and watches as Lavi pulls the nails out of Miranda's hands. Miranda scurries away and Lavi just sits there with a few candles sticking out of him.
"Lavi…" Miranda sobs out, "Lavi… Don't die… Don't die… Lavi…"
'The idiot.' Allen thinks. He looks over at the chains and notices blood around them. His eyes widen in recognition, whipping his head back to the male exorcist that is dying slowly in front of them. 'The whole time he was slowly working his wrists out of the chains. Though he didn't have anything to smooth his skin to get it out quicker and smoother, the chains tore his skin.' Allen takes a step closer and analyzes his hands. Indeed the skin is torn and covered in blood. A smirk spreads across the boys face, "Well aren't you a smart one. It's too bad you are going to die." He whispers. Allen suddenly feels someone clinging to his arm, looking down he sees Road with both her arms wrapped around his red left arm and feels her pressing her body flush against his.
The grin on the Noah's face was huge and it just got worse as they just watched the male exorcists breaths weaken. "Looks like we should just put him out of his misery," Road says. As if on queue, the three Akuma started to go after Lavi and end his life. But something happened that no one expected. The Miranda woman is once again over there but she has the exorcist wrapped in her arms. She looks bewildered, stunned, confused. Allen could tell she has no idea what she is doing. "What do you think you can do?" Allen can hear more than see the fact that Road's grin was completely wiped off of her face.
Miranda, still looking at all them confused, starts to cry again, "I-I don't know. W-what am I doing?"
"A human," the word human is said with scorn, "can't do anything. But no matter, we can just kill you both off together."
The Akuma start to go after them again, but once again something unpredictable happens. A circle of light consumes them both and creates a barrier. "Well that is interesting," Allen says and he walks towards it, "This must be because she has become a user."
"Do you think we can touch it, Mistress Road?" The fire like Akuma asks.
"Be careful, Allen, Lero!" Lero shouts as he speeds up to catch up to him.
"Quiet, Lero! If they find out what I am because you are worried about me Millennie will get mad," Allen grins at Lero, "And you wouldn't want Millennie to give you a spanky right?" Lero cowers back a bit and shakes his jack-a-lantern head furiously. "I didn't think so. Now," he turns back to the light barrier, "I wonder what can be happening in the-." Allen is cut off by the male exorcist's hammer innocence shooting out from the barrier and looping around Linali, pulling her too, into the barrier.
"Allen!" Road shouts and runs up to him. "Are you okay."
The white boy had fallen down on his back while he avoided the surprise attack. Or at least he thinks that was some sort of surprise attack. "I-I'm okay," something clicks into Allen's mind and he scurries to his feet, "how does an almost dead exorcist use his innocence?"
"It's most likely that woman and her innocence." Road answers and looks at the barrier.
"Interesting," Allen grabs Lero and sits on him. Road jumps on his lap and the head upwards, "You don't mind if I get a look from up here do you? I want to analyze all of this."
Just as they got to a high enough spot, tunnels of wind shoot out from the barrier. They engulfed the three Akuma and was about to engulf Allen and Road, but Lero moved them out of the way in time. "That was a close one, Lero."
'The male exorcist has a hammer. I highly doubt he can make this kind of high power wind.' Allen starts to subtract everything, just how Tyki taught him, 'So it would have to be the female exorcist. Only she is paralyzed, so she couldn't be able to do this. Unless,' His eyes widen in realization and a smirk caresses his face, 'The woman, Miranda. She has to be behind their recoveries.'
A loud explosion could be heard, indicating that one of the Akumas has exploded. The wind dissipated revealing the two exorcists with their innocence activated and ready for a fight. "Road Camelot! Come and fight!" Lavi yells.
This chapter is a bit longer. That's because I was having fun. Does anyone know how hard it is to give Lavi Allen's lines in the manga/Anime yet still keep Lavi as a bookman? It's really hard. Though I think I did fairly well. I think I am going to give Linali Allen's lines in the next chapter. Considering Lavi is a bookman, he would already know what will happen to an Akuma if it dies without innocence. Well I hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Please review.
