Allen sped over the terrain as she and Lavi headed quickly towards the town where Kanda and Lenalee were supposed to be. As they slowly came over the hill, purple lights flickered above the city and Allen couldn't help but worry.

'Let's split up Allen and try to find them and the innocence,' Lavi called from behind her as he went off towards the right so Allen decided to take the left.

The entire town was in shambles; buildings were either covered in holes or completely demolished. She could see many akuma corpses littering through the streets and so far, no sign of Lenalee or Kanda.

Allen skidded to a halt as a level three came at her. It's eyes gleaming with malice while she activated her innocence and torn it apart with her left claw. She continued onwards hacking through akuma that got in her way as she tried to find her comrades.

Then she finally caught a glimpse of a tall figure, midnight blue hair fell over his shoulders. His poise was strong and alert as if he was expecting something to attack him. Allen could feel her heart leap within her chest as she recognized the figure.

'Kanda you're all right!' He turned to look at her; genuine shock replaced the usual scowl he wore. But the emotion was short lived.

'Baka, don't come closer!' Allen frowned in confusion. She was going to ask what he had meant until she saw something flutter past her.

'Butterfly…? No!' She spun around quickly as she summoned her sword. She shielded herself from the sneak attack.

'Well now, this has become quite a turn out,' Allen tried hard not to flinch but his sneer was the same as that night.

'T-Tyki…' the Noah's grin grew wider as she was suddenly pushed back. Allen tightened her grip as she went to confront the man head on then remembered what Kanda had said during their training.

She gritted her teeth and sidestepped around the Noah catching him off guard. She brought her sword down but Tyki slipped into the ground and out of sight.

'Why the angry face shojo? I'm sure you enjoyed yourself last…' Allen hesitated, after she had tried so hard to block those memories, Tyki had to go and bring them up again.

'Fuck off bastard!' Kanda lunged at him as she realized that he had appeared behind her. Kanda's katana was blocked by the Noah's blackened hand. Kanda stepped forward, swinging his blade around, as it became a silver blur. His attack inevitably caused Tyki to retreat further away from them both.

'Pull yourself together moyashi, he's just fucking toying with you,' Kanda said as he held his sword in front of him. Allen took a deep breath, pushing those thoughts away. Kanda was right, that was the sole reason why she trained harder.

So that she could never be taken advantage of again.

'Right,' Allen held her sword loosely by her side as Kanda leapt forward and she followed close behind. She watched as Kanda attacked Tyki from the front, the Noah meeting him with his own blade.

Allen came from behind, her sword clashing with another. The Noah looked amused by their actions and knocked them both back. She skidded along the rooftop and raised her sword higher as Tyki lashed out at her.

Stumbling back several steps, Allen ducked under the next attack. She leapt back and gathered energy into her sword before unleashing it. The Noah dodged it easily but he had jumped into the path of Kanda's nigentou*, which Tyki barely missed before he disappeared into the roof.

The Noah then reappeared on top of a house at the other side of the street.

'Impressive, you almost had me there,' Tyki whistled.

'Stop running you fucking coward, I'll slice you to pieces like I did to that other blockhead,' Allen noticed Kanda step forward. His body seemed to tense up as if he was going to go after the Noah.

'Are you still angry about last time? Oh well, I've had my fun maybe we'll meet again some other time shojo,'

'I hope not,' Allen snarled in disgust but it only humored the Noah further before he disappeared entirely. Kanda snorted in annoyance but sheathed mugen as Allen deactivated her innocence.

'Allen! Kanda!' Allen turned at the sound of her name and saw Lenalee and Lavi hurrying over to them. She noticed that Lenalee's hand was glowing a soft green.

'You managed to get the innocence,' Lenalee nodded as Allen started feeling a little lightheaded. Her vision was fading in and out.

'An akuma almost got away with it but thankfully Lavi got to it before it disappeared,' Allen tried her best to focus but her mind wasn't really cooperating with her.

'I heard you distracted the Noah Yuu, what happened to them?' Lavi asked before Allen heard the sound of Kanda drawing his sword. It was most likely being held at Lavi's neck.

'The bastard ran off and if I hear you speak my name one more time rabbit stew will be on Jerry's specials menu tomorrow,' Kanda growled at Lavi.

'… So mean…'

'Allen, are you okay?' She heard Lenalee ask out of the blue. Allen tried to look at her but ended up swaying on her feet.

'I'm just a little dizzy,' Allen murmured softly though she heard Lavi cluck his tongue in uncertainty.

'You're looking paler than this morn…' Allen didn't hear the rest of it as she collapsed right in front of them.
