Chapter 8: Signs

A sudden outburst engulfed the whole town. A massive amount of Akuma came in view as they fired the people. Everyone screamed and run for their lives as much as possible but not all of them did survived before Miranda and Marie came.

They had managed to gather the people in a safer place. Some of them were severely wounded and needed medical attention but they have no time to call a doctor so Miranda built a barrier which helped the people to feel comfortable as if they weren't injured. They asked her what was she was doing and what was she. Miranda explained it to them that they are exorcists who works at the infamous Black Order and was fighting against evil like the ones that attacked them. While Miranda was aiding them, Marie was outside the barrier that Miranda built fighting the Akuma using his innocence which can produce various kinds of music strings. Miranda gave him her time record to ensure his state if something might happen before he dashed off.

After about an hour Marie had managed to finished off all of them and went back to see Miranda doing fine with her patients.

Soon, they trailed off and began to start their patrolling to make sure if there were any akuma left before they went back to the Order.

Allen opened his door to his room to changed when he saw the clothes that was laid on his bed. Kanda and the crow was outside waiting for him to get descent dress.

He made his way to his bed and hanged up the clothes to see that it was his new uniform. Black Order's uniform with golden linings which indicated that he was officially a general. He was stunned to see this and was frozen for a moment when he heard Kanda from the other side of the door.

"Faster, moyashi!"

" 'kay!"

He was glad. So glad to wear an exorcist's uniform once again but now was different. He's a general.

He tucked inside his left arm when a piece of paper dropped. He bent down to reach it. He opened the paper and read.

CONGRATULATIONS!

A soft smile spread across his face as he continue to dress.

After he got himself descent, he opened the door to see Kanda and his watchdog stared at him in complete surprised.

"M-moyahi…"

Allen just gave him his bright smile.


The Millennium Earl sat on his couch in the room where various of phones hanged around and scattered on the floor. He was completely back to his old self after that incident. Back to his round belly and his everlasting wide grin that never fades.

"How was our young lad doing?" he asked the Noah of Lust who stood in front of the door.

"He's fine. They made him a general." She answered in a monotone voice as if she don't care less.

"Ohh~…that's good to hear~ *heart*"

"There's another thing, Earl."

"And that could be~?"

"It looks like he's Noah powers begin to show. He can now sense my presence around so I have to put more gaps between us so I could watch him without noticing me."

"That's good~…you can now take your rest. I'll send Tyki to watch the boy."

"Millennie~!" Road slammed the door open and rushed inside. She looked so worried which made the Earl wonder why is that.

"Oh~ Road…What happened~?"

"The Apocryphos was gone!"

Silence.

Shocked.

"What?" the Earl asked as if he was hearing the wrong thing.

"I said the Apocryphos was gone! He escaped!"

Again, the Earl was stunned but then he managed to composed himself. "And the twins~?"

"They were knocked off. Laying unconscious on the ground."

"This is not good, Millennium Earl. The boy is in danger." Lulubell said in her same tone of voice though she was worried about the boy.

"I won't let the boy be in danger. Go and tell Tyki to be on our young lad's side. Tell him to stay away enough for him not to noticed but if something happens…he knows what to do." The Earl commanded in such a serious yet worried voice.


A man wearing a hood over his face was on his way back to the Order but then he hesitated to. It has been days since the captured of the Apocryphos. He thought that Allen Walker was now safe since Levellier was at the Order so nothing to be worry about but…something from behind of his head told him to come at the Order and help Allen to escape but from whom? He thought maybe he was put in prison again and was being tortured but it seemed not because Levellier told him to protect Allen no matter what even if it cost him his own life and made his vow to do so.

His restless.

He wanted to go and check on Walker but they all knew that he was dead. What am I going to do? Go there and tell them hi! I'm alive! I'm going to check on Allen Walker again. God, this is ridiculous . He thought.

He took a walk to calm himself. He don't know why but he really was worried about Allen's well being. He found a bench and sat there when he noticed that familiar man who stood still across him. He wears eye glasses. Has the rosary around his neck and wears priest's clothes.

"Apocryphos." He mumbled to himself.

He stared at him. Sweat devoured his face. Then after some people passed by the apocryphos went missing in just a snapped.

"This isn't good." He muttered to himself as he stood up. "I have to go and warn him. But how!?" he said gritting his teeth.

Without thinking too much he dashed off to the direction of head quarters. Well, he still have plenty of time to think and warn him since the Apocryphos might not know the whereabouts of Allen Walker.


Timcanpy: Hihi…I hope it satisfied your minds guys.

Allen: I'm in trouble, yes?

Link: don't worry Walker. I'm coming on my way.

Lavi: yeah, yeah. Just let me in the scene, Tim! I'm tired being stuck here!

Kanda: shut up Baka usagi! It's not your turn yet.

Timcanpy: Katou is right!

Kanda: *glares* what did you call me?

Timcanpy: K-katou…?

Kanda: That's it! *slashed*

Allen: Kanda! Don't!

*close*

Road: oops. No need to see that.

Tyki: Reviews please.
