"Midnight... Midnight wake up." A groan left my lips as I sat up. I saw my cartouche cracked, tears filled my eyes,
"General Yeeger died... the Noah's killed him... I have to get back to the Order -" I was cut off,
"Wait, before you leave, here what Komui send me was a new weapon to test this... but think you'll use it more then me." She gave me a bell with a heart handle, there was a white crown on top of the bell where the heart handle connected.
"Thanks."
"Komui called and told me to tell you to head over to meet another general, General Tiedoll. He's a good, great drawer you'll learn a bit."
"Thanks, for everything." I stood petting her monkey and headed out.
The Earl dinning hall was complete mess with fierce battle that went on, by now Road and were pinned up by electric ways Jade sent out, the twin burned and sliced by the work of Roy in the shadows and Rose quick moves. As of right now Rose had her nails deep into Tyki's chest and shoulder making him bleed as Jade wrapped the Earl slashing him with a few of her electric moves.
"See," Rose said, her skin turning into Noah as she flashes that evil grin, "Don't mess with me, I'll kill you in a second in this form." She easily twisted her head upside down giving Tyki a extra scare.
"Rose," Jade said calmly as Roy came out of the shadows. "We best be off... but before we do..." Rose started as she slammed another set of nails into Road as blood fell.
"Thanks for your blood it's a great step to getting us a antidote to change us back to normal." She gasped in shock but pain,
"How...?"
"We're not stupid - considering that we held back shows us how you all are... you are not gods, just pitiful humans who can control akuma it's sad really..." Rose said out loud fixing her head and body - returning to how she was as Jade gathered Road's blood.
"Have a good day Noah family for you have been warned, mess with us again and we will kill you on site." With that Rose pulled away as they all walked into the shadows, leaving the Noah's there in a daze as Dante appears moments later shaking her head.
"Even though the parents escaped, I still got a leash on their children..." The Earl chucked as the dark shock the parents got passed onto the kids. "Oh boy I love my job..."
"Let's just hope," Dante started, glaring as she still didn't forgive him, "You might really win, because from here on out - for now - your on your own."
"Lenalee," Leon asked as she smiled at him.
"Hey you okay, you passed out giving off a chilling message."
"I'm fine - what about Midnight -"
"She fine, she wake and went on her next mission and you will do the same. I'm going to meet up with Allen your going with Krory, Lavi and Bookman as were all going to meet up soon."
"Do you know where?"
"No, but once my brother does he'll contact party telling you where to go."
"Very well and good luck."
"Thank you." That's when the phone ringed as Lenalee picked it up,
"Hello? Oh brother what's-?" She stopped then said after a long while, "Alright, bye." She hung up and smiled,
"I guess your coming with me, let's get going."
"Right!" Jumping out of bed they left to go meet up with Allen.
After explaining what the Heart of Innocents really was to Allen, he was placed on a mission to find General Cross then meet up with Lenalee and Leon along the way, he over heard that Midnight was sent to find General Tiedoll over or before Barcelona. Kanda was going to met up with Daisya Barry and Noise Marie and head to Barcelona to find General Tiedoll as well. Komui knew he had Miranda left but she still needed more training, she wasn't that good at controlling her powers - not like Allen or Lenalee or even Leon and Midnight for that matter - fake innocents or not.
This bell is not easy to carry around, no matter how light it is. I've been carrying this for about fifty miles and it hasn't gotten any easier. I even tried using this bell on akuma and it failed me! When I rung the bell they still shot at me!
Lucky my old 'clap and slap' thing still worked but my cartouche is still cracking! It bring me to tears because I have no idea how it happened...
After my long train ride I made to the border of Barcelona, I heard,
"Excuse me, but can you stand over hear and take down your hair, oh and hold that bell in your hands."
"Hum... okay sure why not." I quickly undid my hair letting it down as I put my lotus flower as a hair pin and held the bell in front of me softly, smiling. After a few minutes he said, looking up,
"Thank you."
"Your welcome." I quickly redid my hair in a ponytail before asking,
"Are you General Tiedoll?"
"I am, are you Midnight Elric."
"I am. I've been looking for you and I'm glad I caught up."
"I see." He added a laugh as he stood.
"May I see what you drew?" Putting on a smile he said,
"Nope."
"Why not?"
"Because we are on a mission, we have no time to waste." Crossing my arms I said,
"Yeah, ah-huh." Together we walked, but not before we ran into a bit of trouble.
"Level one and two akuma, let's take them down."
"Right!" Jumping into action, I clapped my hands and slammed the ground as the ground move pushing me into the air. "Eat this!" I spun and slammed my leg into the level one akuma as it went flying down, blowing up went coming in contact, with the ground as General Tiedoll's impressive innocent made me in awe.
"Midnight!" I quickly snapped back as I was shot by a level one akuma as I spun and flew back into the side of a rocky hill. The poison started to spread, my cartouche broke falling into my hands, giving off a shine, making me blank out but curing me as well.
"Midnight..."
"Ugh..."
"Wake up..." Opening my ears I saw someone staring down at me but I couldn't see his face. I reached up and touched his face as he softly took my hand and brushed it against my lips which really woke me up.
"You set me free and you broke my cartouche all in the same week." I looked down and saw it but it was fixed.
"Does this mean you have to leave..."
"I believe so, your own heart needs to be freed, but I am with you always." He helped me up, brushing my real hair behind my back. "My really birthday gift to you was your own cartouche with held your own power - not mine..." He took off my lotus hair pin as the bell given to me by General Nine appeared in his other hand. The lotus flower bloomed as a white innocent turned into my cartouche. It flew in the lotus as it shined then closed up, the bell shined turning white with the crown green and the heart on the bell pink - everything else, heart handle, etc was white.
"Your not alone... remember that." He put the lotus in my hair was all my friends, family, friends from the Order, everyone appeared!
"Thank you..." I took the bell and held it up calling out, "INNOCENTS ACTIVATE!" There was a bright light as everything went blank once again.
Come back for chapter 12!
