Chapter 10 - Final Battle
However no matter what I did he would let me go until Allen and Lavi made him and I sighed finally being let go but I also knew this was bad since he was stronger in this form than the other. Mostly because this was the Noah half and he knew how to use his power's which was bad for us since he knew how to truly use his power's to there fullest. So I knew we would be in for one hell of a fight and I took off for him and kept hitting/kicking him but he grabbed my leg and threw me into the wall. He smiled big when he did that but I just got up and took off at him again when I saw that he had Lenalee so I took a deep breath and unleashed my full speed. I hit him about three times every minute which lasted about five minutes and he released her and I smiled and grabbed her. I jumped back away from the battle and placed her down then I headed back into the battle after making sure she was ok, I also made sure Choazii was near her. I went after Tyki but it seemed like he was waiting for that and grabbed me with his vines and started to use them like blades to cut open my skin I screamed out when they did that. I kept trying to get out of it but I couldn't and I kept getting madder that I couldn't get out and I let out what I was know nicknaming my Hyde self which was my pissed off form and my entire body vanished and reappeared behind Tyki and I kicked him into a wall before jumping over to him. By then he managed to fly up again only to have me kick him down to the ground then he made his power fly at me but I dodged all of them, barely, before going at him again. Only I got dizzy with the lack of blood and he was able to grab me and fling me across the battlefield right when a magic seal opened under Allen and me so we fell in. I closed my eyes waiting for my death but nothing happened and then I heard father's voice so I opened my eyes and looked up to see him standing there his opera mask forming back on his right side. I just sighed and leaned against him happy to see him again after so long I could hear Allen talking to father but he sounded upset but I just smiled knowing why.
Luna: "Its good to see you again father."
Cross: "Kid when I sent you to the order I don't remember telling you to get this close to dieing."
Luna: "Sorry its because of Tyki I couldn't get away fast enough..."
Cross: "I see it seems hes lost out to the Noah half, if the others' could see him know they would be upset."
I just smiled but then he dropped Allen to the ground and got down off of a giant coffin which I knew hosted one of his innocence's - Grave of Maria - I liked her and it seemed she liked me at least that's what father said. Then he threw Allen over to where Lenalee and Choazii were and I looked at him knowing he wouldn't do that to me since he always tried to be kind to me no matter what even when I was being bad.
Cross: "Red-head come here."
Lavi looked at him shocked before walking over to him thinking father was going to throw him like he did for Allen but he just handed me to him I sighed knowing how overprotective he could be.
Cross: "Get over there with the others."
Lavi nodded and took off to where the other's were at then father had Maria sing a hymn called Magdala Curtain which would hide us from view of our enemies. As well as protect us since Magdala Curtain was also a barrier so when Tyki started shooting at us and then he got mad and went after father. Who just smiled and pulled out his other innocence - Judgement - and started firing at Tyki making Tyki back away and try to stop the bullets but they wouldn't stop until they hit there mark. Father showed us that the battle between a Noah and a general was much different than the battle that we had just done. I sighed knowing how he got when we got hurt even if he didn't want to show it which was a lot but I had a feeling that he had his own way of showing it. I just laid there trying to stay awake which was hard but then I felt the ground start to shack again and sat up in time to see the ground that Lavi and Choazii were sitting on give way. Allen grabbed Lavi's hammer but it broak and they fell into the void making us all cry but then we saw the Earl appear and he had Tyki over his shoulder. I froze and looked at Allen feeling his rage as he took off after the Earl I had tried to stop him but I was still to weak to do that. So master had to use Maria's second hymn Carte Garde, which was Brain Control, on Allen so it forced him to stop himself from following the Earl into the other ark that the Earl was creating. Then master picked me up and had Tim open a door inside the ark and had us go threw it and I looked around shocked since all around us was dead skull-looking people and then we stopped infront of a huge egg that was downloading little by little.
Cross: "Alright Allen stop the download."
Allen: "What are you talking about master, I don't know how to stop the download."
Cross: "Tim will help you."
He said as Tim opened a doorway to what he called the fourteenths room, who had a Noah but changed his view on what the Earl was planning and since he was the musician of the family he stopped the ark from ever leaving Edo. However the Earl was now trying to create a new ark to make more akuma where they wanted it but father was trying his best to stop that and it required Allen to do it. Then Allen was pulled into the room and father looked at me in his arms still looking really weak but getting my strength back since most of the cuts had stopped bleeding.
Cross: "Luna repeat after me. ON ABATA URA..."
Luna: "Ok.. ON ABATA URA..."
Cross: "MATA RAKATO BARU!"
Luna: "MATA RAKATO BARU!"
I remembered the spell from the books I had read and knew it was a type of freezing spell so I knew he was trying to either freeze the download or halt it in some way. At least long enough for Allen to stop the download of the ark which he did with father yelling at him after a while telling him to put his wish into the ark after we had heard piano playing and the sound was familiar to me but I couldn't place it. I also wanted father to tell us what was going on and how he knew so much about the ark and what Allen's connection to it was. I was trying to keep my magic up to keep the spell going hoping to help father in his mission but I was getting exhausted quickly. Then all of a sudden the floor went back to normal and father sat down on the floor being careful with me while Lenalee sat down next to us.
Cross: "Allen open a door for us to come to you."
Allen: "..."
Luna: "Please Allen, were all exhausted..."
We heard a ping sound which I guess was the piano before a door of light opened up in front of us and we walked threw and Allen looked exactly how I felt.
Cross: "Get it off your chest."
Allen: "How do you know that song... it was something Mana and I came up with."
Luna: "You mean the score?"
I said getting down from father's arms and walking over to the piano to see the score while he kept yelling at father trying to get him to reveal his secrets which wouldn't happen easily. The score seemed to hit a cord with my memory but I couldn't place why but then the room swayed and I started to fall but Allen caught me. Father sighed and walked back over to me and picked me up so I was back in his arms again and I sighed and layed my head against his chest.
Cross: "Your a real pain brat just stay still for now you still haven't recovered from your blood loss."
Luna: "Fine, I'll do as you wish for now father."
Lenalee: "Father?"
Luna: "He adopted me when I was little since my mother didn't want me, I've been with father since then."
Cross: "She's telling the truth, however I didn't tell her to go on missions that would put her in position to be nearly killed."
Luna: "Thank the higher-ups for that... I don't pick the missions..."
Cross: "Oh I plan to, this is something that would only make it easier for the Earl to find us generals and destroy more exorcist's along the way."
Lenalee: "Thats' what Luna said."
We both started laughing since I had said something like that when we started out on this little trip and I was upset that I was proven right since a lot of the other exorcists had been attacked and killed.
Luna: "Yep and I still stand by it, and to prove it were the only ones left other than those at Edo and two generals."
Then we heard yelling and a screen popped up of Lavi yelling mostly about food making me laugh since it was mainly to bring Allen out, but we saw Kanda, Choazii, and Krory with them although he was out cold. Allen responded to Kanda calling him a beansprout making me laugh and then and then he opened a door for them. They came in and laid Krory on the couch that was in the room while showing us there little pouches that held there innocence.
Lavi: "Hey little wolf... how are you feeling?"
Luna: "Exhausted... mostly because of the blood loss."
Lavi: "Ah I see well the faster we get outta here the faster we can get better."
Cross: "Allen open a door back to the order so we can get outta here."
Luna: "But first get the ones at Edo."
Allen nodded and he opened a door to Edo and general Tiedoll asked about his new apprentice and Kanda showed him Chaozii making him cry more so I could understand Kanda's irritation. Then we headed to the Asian Branch once we had everyone from Edo in the ark and we all stepped off the ark there, everyone was happy to see us there and alive. Then father tried to leave but Lenalee wrapped her arms around father's waist while I grabbed his jacket still real dizzy begging him to stay and not to leave making us have to go find him again. He just sighed and then Allen opened up a door to the order and we all stepped threw, well almost all of us, I was still in father's arms and Krory was still passed out in the fourteenth's room. I watched Allen and Lavi push Lenalee towards Komui with her crying before I wound up passing out against father who just sighed looking at me.
Cross: "I don't want her doing any more mission's like this one, Komui her innocence still hasn't fully developed yet."
Komui: "I'll try Cross, but she is really strong and you can't deny that."
Allen: "I agree with Cross, she's only that strong because she pushes herself beyond her limits."
They kept talking while all those who were injured were taken to the medical wing for treatment and I just relented to my dreams until my body recovered what it had lost during the journey. A few weeks after finding father I finally woke up and sat up looking around and almost immediately knew where I was at. I looked over to see Lenalee and someone else, when Lenalee saw me she smiled at me since I had been in a light coma which had everyone worried although apparently Krory was still in a coma according to Lenalee.
Lenalee: "Oh and this is Miranda Lotto, Allen and I meet her when we went on our mission together where we first encountered Road."
Luna: "Oh I see, well its nice to meet you Miranda I'm Luna Cross."
Lenalee: "Her father is one of our generals."
Miranda looked at me shocked but I just smiled knowing that most of the other members of the order would be shocked when they found out that Cross was my adoptive father.
