Chapter 11

Allen, Kanda, and Lanick had no idea how their comrades were doing in the battle as they appeared in an old building. Allen was kind of worried but had faith in his comrades. Lanick was focused on his mission and Kanda was focused on saving Lameran. "Hey, moyashi, be careful. I know you won't mess up. But still, I want Lameran to come home today." Allen looked over his comrade. His face showed nothing but determination. He could tell Kanda would rather be holding Lameran, not Mugen.

"I promise. Lameran will come home tonight." Kanda only nodded, his grip on his sword tightening.

"Someone is up ahead. It's Lanston. I'll distract him. You two go after Lameran." The three entered a huge room. It looked like it had been abandoned for a long time. A man wearing a black suit and holding a bastard sword sat waiting for them. His eyes were closed, making him look like he was asleep.

"You are finally here. I have orders. I don't necessarily like them but The Earl has given them. The one named Lanick is to stay behind and fight me. Kanda and Allen are to go ahead. She's waiting for you." Allen was the only one who jumped. Kanda had met him earlier and was looking very angry. Lanick merely stayed silent as a bastard sword of his own appeared. "I show no mercy to traitors." Allen and Kanda are to go. Now." Allen looked doubtful as Kanda dragged him along.

"Don't worry Allen. The biggest concern is what's up ahead." The two exorcists vanished down the hallway leading out of the room.

"I will show no mercy. But at the same time, make your death quick. I wish to return to her side quickly." Lanston charged Lanick. Lanick parried the blow and made his first attack.

Meanwhile Allen and Kanda entered the only room off that hallway. It was clearly in the process of remodeling. A high backed throne stood on a dais near the back of the room. And on that throne sat Lameran. Mounted on the walls around it were weapons of all kinds. "You know Lameran is gone now. She's in a deep deep sleep right now. I made sure she's never going to wake up. And in the off chance that she does, she'll immediately want to die. It'll be a new world. My world." She stood up and straightened her clothes out. "I know what your biggest weakness will be. It'll be this body. You can't save Lameran without hurting or killing her if you don't kill me. But still, let's see where this goes." Two swords flew off the wall straight for them.

Kanda and Allen dodged them as the Earl spoke. "Every Earl, whether weak or strong, has one specific strength. Mine is my telekinesis. Though every Earl before me was also stupid. Merely wanting to destroy the world. Why not rebuild it and make it better?" Now two spears came their way. Kanda noticed that it took a little while for the next attack to come. The Earl couldn't fully control her powers and had to make sure she concentrated properly. Otherwise she would lose control. And she didn't want that to happen.

"Why are you holding back? Could it be you're in over your head? Why did you make Lanston stay behind and fight Lanick if you can't properly defend yourself?" Kanda taunted his enemy as he dodged the many projectiles that were coming his way. He hated himself for doing it. But if he could get her to lose control, then Allen could get to her and get rid of that Earl in her body. Allen also somehow understood this and was preparing. He had his sword drawn, his left sleeve was flat and empty.

Thank you for paying attention Kanda thought to himself.

"What did you say? I have enough control to take care of two pesky exorcists who refuse to die!" Her eyes were all red now. Everything began to float in midair. The Earl didn't know about Allen's sword. The weapons increased in number and ferocity. Allen and Kanda saw that she was losing control. A whirlwind was forming around her. Kanda and Allen clung onto whatever they could or else risk being sucked in. And from this, Allen got an idea. He let go and let himself go straight to her.

"Wait, what do you think you're doing?" Kanda tried to grab the stupid moyashi. Allen avoided him.

"Trust me!" He yelled over the noise. Kanda began to carefully make his way forward to back him up. It would be a challenge to fight in these conditions but if it meant saving Lameran, then so be it.

Meanwhile the Earl was curled up in a ball in midair above the throne. "No, no, no, no!! I have to get control. Everything must go my way. I am the Millennium Earl, the rightful and true ruler of this world!!" She began to laugh like a maniac. "No one will stop me. This world will be mine. And anyone who opposes me must die!" A sword came flying toward Allen's heart.

"Hakka touoru!!" Kanda quickly slashed at the weapon with his activated innocence, eight strikes moving so fast it looked like a flower being drawn in the air. Allen looked at Kanda. "Go! I'll cover you." Allen nodded and surged forward. The Earl shrieked as he approached, being instinctively scared of his sword. More weapons flew his way. The first illusion of Mugen took care of that. With a loud scream, Allen's sword of exorcism went through Lameran. Red eyes went to blue as everything crashed to the ground. Allen caught Lameran as they both fell and he landed on his feet. Kanda ran to Allen and saw Lameran unconscious in his arms.

"Lameran." Allen passed her to Kanda. He stroked her hair and quietly called her name.

"No, the Earl!!" Lanick walked into the room dragging an unconscious man behind him. The yell had come from the man just before he passed out. Lanick passed him to Allen.

"Take care of him. I need to check up on Lameran." Allen took the man who had formerly been Lanston of the Noah Clan.

"She'll be fine. She'll sleep for awhile but she'll wake up as herself soon." Kanda cradled his sleeping wife in his arms. "In the meantime, let's get back to the Order." He grabbed everyone and teleported back to the Order. As they materialized before everyone, they saw two people unconscious on the ground. It was the humans Hikatay and Vintrix had been before they had become Noah. Allen laid Lanston down next to them. All of the exorcists ran up as they saw Kanda, Allen, and Lanick return. They crowded around and looked at Lameran's still form.

"She's fine. Lameran only needs rest. Now, if you'd excuse me, I would like to put her to bed. She's earned it." Everyone parted to let him leave.

Not the end!!

One or two more chapters and then it'll be finished. Until then, please stay tuned and maybe even review? This story still needs a happy ending.
