Chapter 10 – Mission Continues 3 : the Attack of Noah

"You're… Lulubell!"

"So in other words, I just have to get the Bookman Junior to help me get the Innocence here isn't it?"

Kanda quickly unsheathed his sword and activated Mugen. "Don't you DARE get close to Lavi!" Kanda shouted as he lunged forward to Lulubell, but a Level One stood in his way of attack. Kanda quickly slashed the Level One away causing an explosion that sent him back onto the ground. When the smoke from the explosion subsided, Lulubell and the Level two Akuma had disappeared.

"Shit!" Kanda cried out in anger. "That Noah's after Lavi!" The Japanese swordsman shouted out while trying to sprint towards the direction that would lead him back to the cave, but was stopped by the Level Ones firing violet beams on him and Allen.

"Get out of my way!" Kanda screamed. He then used his Mugen's First Illusions: Hell Insects to destroy a number of Level Ones in front of him. However, being too distracted of the Akumas in front of him, he failed to notice the ones behind.

"Die! Exorcists!" the Akumas aimed at Kanda, who noticed them too late and found himself unable to dodge the attacks on time. However, before the Akumas fired, they were destroyed by Allen's arm that had transformed into a gun.

"Hurry! Kanda!" Allen shouted. "Lulubell has the ability to transform into anything or ANYONE she wants. Hurry get to Lavi before she got him! I'll fight the Akumas here! You go ahead first!"

"I'll do that without you telling me to!" And with that Kanda immediately sprinted towards the direction that led him to the cave.

'Please, let me make it on time… Lavi!'

Lenalee was getting anxious. After about an hour of the storm, her two nakamas still had not returned. Despite Lucas trying to stop her Lenalee was about to step out of the cave to find them when she spotted a shadowy figure coming closer towards the cave. When the figure got closer, Lenalee immediately recognised the figure as Kanda.

"Kanda! You're back! Where's Allen-kun?"

"Don't know," replied the Japanese exorcist. "Could be somewhere behind me, but how far I don't know."

"How could you leave him behind? What if he can't catch up?" Lenalee scolded Kanda.

"Hmph" Kanda retorted and walked past Lenalee towards the redhead sitting in a corner. "It's not as if that Allen Walker cannot take care of himself."

'Huh? Allen Walker? Has Kanda ever called Allen-kun by his full name?' Lenalee thought, confused by the Japanese man's words.

The raven haired exorcist walked till he reached in front of the red-haired young man, who was apparently sleeping. "Lavi, get up." Kanda said. "I said get up."

"Mmm?" Lavi opened his eyes and looked up to stare at the face of the man calling him. Lavi noticed that the man in front of him had eyes that were void of emotions, unlike the eyes full of pain and sadness a few moments ago when he talked to him and his Norwegian lover.

"Eh… Kanda-san right? Erm how can I help you?" Lavi asked nervously, and was pushing himself onto the wall behind him.

"Come with me, right now," exclaimed the Japanese exorcist as he pulled Lavi's orange scarf up to make him stand up. He then grabbed Lavi by the wrist and dragged him out of the cave. The other two in the cave saw the scene in shock as they attempted to stop Kanda.

"Wait! Where do you think you're taking Rufus to?"

"Kanda? What happened? If you want to bring him out, at least wait till the storm is over!"

"Sorry, can't wait," Kanda said as he pushed the two people grabbing onto him away with a force that made Lenalee and Lucas hit onto the walls of the cave, hard.

"Wait, let me go!" Lavi exclaimed towards the Japanese swordsman, who ignored his resistance and continued walking out of the cave and into the storm. "I said let go! It hurts!"

"Rufus!" Lucas shouted from the cave.

"Lucas!" the redhead turned and shouted back, but only to receive a blow on the back of his neck, making him lose his conscious.

"Rufus!"

"Lavi!"

Both Lenalee and Lucas shouted at the same time when they saw their red-haired friend knocked into unconsciousness by their raven haired friend.

"Kanda! What is the meaning of this?" Lucas shouted, glaring menacingly at the Japanese swordsman.

"He was getting noisy so I had to knock him out," replied Kanda in a voice of indifference. Lenalee was shocked to see the Level two Akuma appearing beside Kanda without attacking him. Lenalee then realised what was going on.

"You… are not Kanda, right?" Lenalee asked, getting ready to activate her Dark Boots.

An evil smile was formed on Kanda's face, and the figure changed back into a woman with the skin colour of grey showing her identity as a Noah.

"L-Lulubell!" exclaimed Lenalee for she also recognised the Noah.

"I'll be taking the Bookman Junior," Lulubell announced as she jumped onto the Level two Akuma. The Akuma, using one of its many tails, wrapped Lavi around to grab him.

"Do not kill him yet. We need him to get to the Innocence."

"Yes, Lulubell-sama."

"Rufus!" shouted the Norwegian. He tried to get up but he was damaged pretty badly by Lulubell when she sent him to collide to the wall with a great force.

Lenalee tried to chase after, but was stopped by more Level One Akumas that appeared in front of her, attempting to stand in her way towards Lavi. Lenalee activated her Innocence and started destroying the Akumas. But it was taking too much time as the Akuma carrying Lulubell and holding Lavi had flew into the sky, attempting to escape.

"Lavi!" Lenalee screamed as she and Lucas watched helplessly the redhead being taken away from them.

"Everything is according to plan," Lulubell said as the Akuma had flown into air. "Now all I need to do is-"

"GIVE HIM BACK!" Lulubell's words were interrupted by a scream of another voice and a sword-slashing sound followed. A large amount of blood spurted out from the tail that was cut down, dropping Lavi that was wrapped up by the tail.

"GAH!" screamed the Akuma in pain as Kanda quickly grabbed Lavi and landed safely on the snowy ground.

"Kanda!" cried Lenalee. Seeing that Kanda had arrived and successfully saved Lavi, she quickly used one of her special moves, 'Waltz of the Piercing Wind' to destroy the rest of the Akuma she was fighting and ran towards Kanda, who was attempting to release Lavi from the wrapping tail and wake him up.

"Lavi! Get up! I said get up!" Kanda shouted. Lenalee was helping Kanda with the tail.

"He's been knocked unconscious," Lenalee told Kanda while the two exorcists finally freed Lavi from the tail. "Don't think he will wake up soon."

"Damn it!" Kanda screamed in frustration and turned to glare the Noah with a heavy murderous aura. Seeing that the chances of her winning and capturing the Bookman Junior had become low due to the appearance of Kanda, she jumped from the damaged Akuma to another one. She ordered the damaged Akuma before escaping the area.

"Kill them all and bring me Bookman Junior," and Lulubell was out of sight.
