Chapter 13: Noah of Misery
Rey opened his eyes tiredly, only to close them again to shield them from the bright sunlight. He slowly opened his eyes again and begun to walk towards the bathroom. Last night's party really took a toll on him. As he finished washing up, he headed back to his room to get ready for the day.
As he was dressing up, a knock sounded on his door. Quickly dressing into his black and red Exorcist uniform, he opened the door and saw a half awake Johnny standing in the doorway. "Supervisor wants you, Floria, Kizumi and Lavi in his office now," murmured the scientist as he walked away. Rey sweat dropped as he pitied all the scientists who work here. He remembered what Johnny and made his way to his uncle's office.
The sight of the paper covered floor did not surprise him anymore, neither was the sight of Komui sleeping on his desk. He really didn't want to get his father into trouble, so he tried something else, and he leaned towards Komui's ears and whispered the words, Floria is dating someone, and Komui awoke screaming, "WHO DARED DEFILED MY LITTLE FLORIA?!?!?!"
Next moment, Komui took out a gigantic drill from nowhere and Rey quickly activated his Innocence and punched is head, "Don't worry, no one is dating my sister, at least…not yet," Rey whispered the last part so no one but him heard.
The doors opened once more, and the other three that was called out walked in, Kizumi saw Rey and smiled shyly, Rey smiled too. Komui, seeing that those he called for were in front of him, sat up straight and begun briefing them on they're mission.
"In Frankfurt, Germany, there have been large amounts of Akumas sightings. You will be going there to investigate why this is so and get to the bottom of it," he explained as he passed the reports of the mission to them, "You will be departing at noon, so that gives you plenty of time to get ready and do whatever you want. You can go now." The Exorcists nodded and exited the room, all heading to the same place, the cafeteria.
At noon, everyone was at the main entrance waiting for the carriage with Kizumi's head resting on Rey's shoulder, when two generals showed up with their belongings. "Mom?! Dad?! Why are you here?" Floria and Rey exclaimed in unison. "Well, we are generals, so we have to travel around and find more compatible Innocence wielders," Allen explained.
"Oh…how long will you be gone?" Floria asked, sounding depressed. Lenalee went forward and gave his children a hug, "Maybe a few months or so."
"But don't worry, we'll be back," Allen said, embracing his children too.
"We know…but we'll miss you a lot…" Rey said. "We'll miss you too…" Lenalee comforted, sounding sad, "But we'll come back, we promise," and the two lightened up.
"Oh yeah! Tim, could you stay with them from now on?" Allen said, letting go of his children and the golden golem nodded it's head, well…body, and flew to rest itself on Floria's head. And Lenalee kissed her children's forehead and let go before saying, "Kay, you should get going now, your carriage is here. Rey, take good care of Kizumi, and Lavi, don't do anything stupid."
Rey and Kizumi blushed a little and Lavi gave the two generals a pout before boarding the carriage along with the teens headed towards the ferry port. Floria and Rey waved to their parents, who waved back in response.
They crossed the English Channel a couple of hours later thanks to some delays, and Kizumi got seasick once again. In the first class carriage of the train, Lavi was continuously teasing Rey as Kizumi was once again asleep on his shoulder and his arm was also once again around her waist, but he didn't mind this time. Timcampy was now on Rey's head. Lavi quickly fell asleep, leaving Rey and Floria the only ones awake. "How do you think our friends back home are doing?" Floria suddenly asked.
"Fairly better than us," Rey replied. Floria sighed, "How lucky for them…"
"Yeah…but look at all the new people we've met and the friends we made," Rey said, trying to cheer his sister up. "That is true…"Floria said, sighing once more.
The rest of the train ride was silent after that and the silence was only broken whenever the train stopped at a station. Soon, the announcement of their destination prompts Rey and Floria to wake their sleeping companions. Kizumi was fairly easy to wake, but Lavi was a different case, he was still asleep when they alighted and his cheeks were slightly swollen courtesy of Floria. They had to trek to Frankfurt from the station they exited, but decided to stay in a nearby town as it was late.
It was mid-morning and the group was trekking towards Frankfurt.
"I'm beat, when are we gonna reach the town," Lavi whined, slouching. The three others of the group sweat dropped at the older man's behavior, then remembering that this was the personality of that forty-ninth alias they were told about.
"Stop whining, Lavi," Rey snapped, "We're all as tired as you are but ya don't hear us complaining!" And Lavi glared at him.
"Hey, guys! I think that's Frankfurt down there," Kizumi informed the two males. "You're right, Kizumi," Floria said, looking at the map they were given.
"Yes! Finally!!" Lavi exclaimed, running down the hill. "Lavi, wait up!" Rey shouted out as the three teens followed the red-head down the hill.
They arrived at the entrance of town and started walking into the town; only to find it deserted, save for a few people. The remaining people glared at them, and then at the Exorcist uniform they wore before doing what they were doing.
"Not a very friendly bunch, are they?" Lavi asked, rhetorically. They walked towards town square, and the people they passed by did the same thing as the first few.
Lavi suddenly stopped, and looked around. Rey, Floria and Kizumi looked around too, and saw the people of the town gathering at town square. Suddenly, their skin split apart, and Akumas appeared. All the Exorcists active their Innocence.
"Ozuchi Kozuchi! Grow! Grow! Grow!" Lavi yelled and his hammer grew larger. He then swung his gigantic hammer, destroying several Akumas at once as Rey swung his claws down on the Akumas before jumping to another one. Floria swung the crescent moon side of her staff in the direction, shouting out, "Crescent Slash!" and a blue wave of energy appeared and shot towards the Akumas. Kizumi threw her boomerang towards the Akumas and it destroyed them by slicing them in half.
"Time to end this!" Lavi yelled, raising his hammer, "Innocence, Level Two! Activate!" and different seals appeared around the hammer's head. A seal then appeared on the hammer, glowing red, and he slammed the hammer on the ground, the red seal now appearing on the ground. "Fire Seal! Conflagration Of Ashes!" Lavi yelled, and a serpent of flames appeared from the seal on the ground. The fire snake flew towards the Akumas, swallowing and burning them.
Within minutes after the serpents summoning, all the Akumas were gone. Suddenly, an explosion occurred behind them. "What the?" Rey, Floria, Kizumi and Lavi blurted out.
"Aww…I missed," a voice appeared, forcing the Exorcists to turn towards the source of the voice and get into their battle stance. In front of them stood a black- haired girl who looked like she was no older than twenty. She had grey skin, gold eyes and seven pitch black crosses running across her forehead.
"A Noah…What are you doing here?" Lavi roared.
"What do you think, it's a trap of course," the Noah explained, "The Earl figured if there was enough Akuma sightings in one area, the Order would send their Exorcists to investigate. Oh! By the way, I'm the Noah of Misery, Mysari Fanu."
"So you planned this?" Lavi asked, gritting his teeth.
"Yup!" Mysari said, "Now…who should I start with?" She looked at the four, before pointing towards the green-haired boy, "Maybe you," and she flicked her finger towards him.
Rey widened his eyes as he felt something hit his stomach, and then it exploded. "Aaagh!" he yelled out as he flew back. Lavi, Floria and Kizumi stared in shock at where Rey is now. "What did you do?!?!" Lavi demanded, turning back to look at the Noah.
"My ability… I can make my nails explode whenever they hit something or when I want them to. I can also shoot them out like bullets." Mysari explained. She suddenly jumped to her right as a green claw struck where she was originally, sending dust flying.
The dust cleared, revealing Rey barely standing with his energy claws ready. He coughed out some blood before wiping them away. "Ooooh…so you wanna play? But you're barely able to stand," Mysari stated. "Oi! Rey! Be careful!"Lavi yelled. Rey didn't answer as he charged towards Mysari.
Mysari only smirked as she raised both of her hands and flicked each of her fingers once. Rey, however, was too injured to avoid the exploding nails as he took all ten explosions at once, sending him flying into a building with so much force it caused the building to crumble and fall on him.
"REY!!!" was the last thing the young boy heard before passing out.
