Chapter 12

Redemption

"Earl."

" G-Get off me!" A muffled voice said from underneath me.

"Oh, sorry...," then I realized as I was getting off ," Like hell I'm getting off you, damn Noah!" I continuously stomped on the door spouting curses. He , Tiki, finally decides to use his powers and lazily craws out from under me, going through both the door and my foot.

"Oh, it's you. Tiki."

"I'm not tiki, that was the noah who was formerly me, shounen." He said panting painfully.

Scanning me surroundings I see that all 3 of my friends no longer seem to be... attached to their torture device? Honestly I thought they would be dead by now.

Then my attention was directed to Angel, "You have wings now, do you?" I said disbelieving, and he said he hated demons, eh?

"And your an exorcist-demon-Noah?"

Rin looked around with an open jaw. " What? They never told us he was an Exorcist. How do you know Angel?!"

Tension filled the room and Angel received the devil spawn's glare. " I know a lot more than an ignorant contradiction!" Angel spat.

" He doesn't, right Yukio! He doesn't know more and he's lying"

Yukio deadpanned. " I think we have more pressing matters, brother..."

Everyone snapped back to reality.

"Anyway, How nice to see you again, Earl."

" Saves me the trouble of looking for you." The fat bastard said, creeping closer.

"Stay away from me."

"I need you to complete the reunion, of brothers."

"Earl-sama! Let me play with him first!" She's still the same. It's a shame, her and tiki were the only noah I...liked.

"I'll kill all of you!"

"Hoh?! It seems your inner demon is showing?! BUT YOU CAN'T DEAR BOY! The pain from the last time you tried will hold you back. You're weak."

"TRY ME!"

"Allen...calm down." One of them tried to soothe me.

"We turned those who you didn't kill into our slaves."

"You were dead!... you couldn't have..."

" And, you unlocked the demons from hell by killing us."

"LIES!" I was breaking. I could feel it. I don't want to know what they did.

"The demons got them. HAHAHA, they all died! Those corpses you saw on your way were them!"

I looked down, compressing my rage as not to kill everyone.

"Oh yeah, that little boy held out a tough fight, he refused to build these towers! Poor boy, he was the first to-"

BANG! A gunshot filled the room. I turned to Yukio, but he was as stunned as the rest of them.

"Shut up." That voice. Link?

Near the entrance was a pale, frail, weak, deteriorating figure. Dusty yellow-white hair, with a young face. You could almost see him. Next to him was a man looking like Hitler who was equally dead-like.

"AHHH! SATAN!" I screeched taking back all who were around me.

"What?! That's my father?!" Rin screamed almost fainting as Yukio comforted him."...I knew Hitler was Satan..."

"Allen Walker. We finally found you. We Will Protect You This Time." Leverrier (Reverrier? Translations were sketchy) said coughing a bit afterward. This time,huh? What does he mean? Link was shaking heavily. He was holding his arm that had the gun dangling in his hand. I ran out to the old inspector and steadied him.

"Link...I'm sorry...Ho-How are you still alive?"

"Allen...I'm here for you now so don't leave again..."

"LINK. What did you do to stay alive?" I held him harder, but still genitally like he were a mere babe.

"I-i used the others...the others...life force with my remaining crow magic to-to keep my spiritual body attached to my physical body..." He trembled and waterless tears streamed from his arms. " They said they wanted to leave this literal hell, and...and I needed to wait for you so, so they let me use their life so that I could help you."

"It's okay, you're done waiting." I turned to Satan " How are you still alive?"

"We aren't alive. We are souls already passed forcefully staying with our physical bodies, Walker."

" Allen! It's nice to see you're little reunion, but we have your arch-enemies plotting our death."

That's right! I tell link to stay low and turn to Angel. He obviously saw the slight resemblance between himself and link, and he noticed that was the one who I yelled out to in my sleep.

Using all my swagger I walkered to the center of the battle field. I ran my hand around my broken horn and swept my loose hair back. Then I realized a slight buzzing coming from underneath my armor.

"Excuse me, Earl...It seems the work isn't done yet." I grumbled digging my hand under the leather plates for the source. When I founded it I awkwardly took it out, but it suddenly ripped itself out from my grip and crashed into Something Behind me.

Turning around I saw Yukio inspecting the innocence. Then Rin pointed to my hip, I looked, then to my surprise Kurikara was there. I blankly stared at it. The hell did it get there? Kanda? Whatever, seems that luck's on my side. I tossed it to him, and he caught after flailing like a fish.

"Grah!" Yukio held onto his body, collapsing on his legs groaning in pain. I rushed over and Rin guarded us.

"Why don't we just attack them, Earl?"

"It's more fun This way, Road."

"I'm still not Road."

" But you still are the highway to my heart."

"Oh, how clever Earl-sama!"

"Shh. Yukio, It's alright. You. You're an accommodater, it's probably just reacting with you're body. It'll be over soon." Is he a parasitic-type that wasn't born with his innocence? That's right, Lavi still had it when he was dead, so he couldn't have.

"Innocence?"

"That's right, it's your innocence."

"It's telling me to say something. It wants to activate."

It might put his body in too much strain, but he's tough. He can endure. "Do as it says."

He pulled himself up and said the magical words. "Innocence...ACTIVATE!" The green light shone through ever dark crevice as his anti-akuma weapon revealed itself. He epically pulled off his seeing shades. His left eye had mutated into a sleek eye-patch with a green cross over where his eye was.

"All right looks like it's time to fight!" Tiki yelled in joy.

Yukio started the brawl by shooting green beams out of his eye, hitting all 3 of them at once. I unleashed my sword as Rin did the same, letting his flames flare. Link and Lvellie position themselves with their guns and talisman.

The earl retreated, blocking my interference with 5 level 4 akuma.

"I'll take care of them! Rin, Yukio, Malcome, Link, hold off the noah!" I yell as I run out to meet the Akuma. Finally a chance to see if i'm stuck this way, as a demon.

I use crown belt to hold one down, and slashed one while stabbing into the one in the belt. Another slashed at me, gaining time for the two I injured. I revealed my darkness and sent a wave of demonic energy across the tower, temperately paralyzing everyone and enhancing all of my attributes. I sped around the level 4's and instantly killed 3 of them, I turned my sword even darker as I concentrated the energy into it. My hand shook and my veins popped as the strain increased, it became infinitely harder to move as sweat pored from my pores and practically evaporated, leaving steam around my frame. I swung the great sword and demolished their bodies and souls. They left in the greated pain, screaming that I betrayed them, the nurse, 64, Jerry, Fo, and Bak, all of their souls...are gone.

My energy dilapidated and I breathed heavily, as my eye was bleeding, I ran to finish what I started.

BAM! Done, after over a month of waiting! Sorry bout that anyway. -^- Said it'd be soon , I certainly didn't mean this soon.
