A/N; this chapter took me much longer to get a move on than the other ones. I'm sorry. I'm still working stuff out. I'm trying to think of what to do about the Heart that's both amazing and original. THE POPE IS THE HEART. No. That's not amazing. | Original. Not amazing. Any ideas for the Heart of Innocence?

Eventually I plan to bring in an OC of mine to be the Noah of Wrath on Neah's side. I have to figure out which one I want to modify to be that Noah though…a female this time because I think women are /much/ angrier than men. They just don't show it like males do.

Again, I'm sorry this took so long to get up. I got distracted by the oozing cuteness known as the Unit of Conviction from my Loveless forum. They are so cute together. And then there's Riley and Hazumi they're…not so cute. She carved her name into his flesh with a pair of scissors. :D He's a Blank. So. It's good. She's psychotic. He's arrogant. It's a match made in hell.

-Man is owned by its awesome author. Awesome.

Confrontations

"Allen, do you want me to do this for you?" Neah questioned quietly. He'd done it once before…a second time would be no different. Only this time he didn't want to kill the family in the process. He'd been truly sorry that he'd kill those he had once called family. "I mean…I do have practice in betraying the Earl and trying to kill him."

"No, Neah. I want to do this myself." Allen responded simply as he opened the door to the main hall of the Earl's manor with Tyki and Rhode by his side. Their presence there was enough for him to continue onward, to continue walking forward towards his goal. He felt Tyki's hand on his shoulder, and the man nodded his head slightly before removing it as Allen stood inches from the Earl.

"Allen-kun, I've already dispatched my Akuma to the Order…but it seems that nobody was there at the time. Would you happen to know anything about this, Allen-kun?" The Earl questioned. The rest of the family was already gathered around the Earl.

"I warned them," Allen stated simply. "I won't condemn the entire place for the misguided conduct of a few. And neither should you. The human race should not be condemned just because some of them are misguided, idiotic, heartless jerks." The black claws of his Crown Clown Innocence twitched nervously in anticipation. "I stand against you, Millennium Earl." His voice rose in volume towards the Earl. "I will become the new Millennium Earl and end the chains of sadness your Akuma cause."

Allen's gaze fell upon the Noah Family. "How many of you believe that once the Earl has completed his goal that you will remain by his side?" All their hands rose to the sky. He turned to Wisely, and calmly stated. "Read his mind, brother." When the man looked at the Earl, he shrunk back, unable to get in but from the look of the Earl…it was unlikely that anything good would be found in his mind.

Wisely was the first to move to Allen's side. The Earl's inability to allow him into his head was enough for Wisely. Allen smiled at the Wisdom of Noah, and then looked at the remaining Noah. "The Earl would not let our brother into his mind to find out the truth…do you trust him now?"

His gaze fell on Sheryl now, he was the next of the Noah family that Allen appealed too. "Daddy," Allen stated quietly, having never referred to him in that manner since his adoption. "You've said your self that you enjoy being married, and having a family. Your wife, Rhode's mother, is human. She would be among the ones destroyed." Sheryl glanced from the Earl, to his daughter, brother, and his two sons. His family was there. He moved towards Allen, joining him on his side. It was five to eight now.

"Allen, don't forget Noah's Judge," Neah's voice whispered. "As the Judge of Noah, one of his abilities is to determine the truth of anything. He is the judge, and the executioner of the Noah family. Had I not killed the previous incarnation of him, he would have been the one to kill me. Have him determine the truth of the Earl's intention."

"Earl, do you deny the idea that you will destroy this family when you have reached your goal of destroying the Innocence and humanity?" Allen's voice rang out strongly, one eye on Toriado. From what Rhode had told him on the way there…the twins were unlikely due to the debts Cross made them pay and Allen refused to, Lulubell was utterly loyal to the Earl (despite taking the form of a cat most of the time, and cats were highly independent creatures), Fiddler would freak everybody else out, the other two…she didn't even know. Nobody knew enough about them to know what their personalities were truly like.

"Allen-kun, you're following the same path as your uncle," The Earl stated, coldly as he raised Lero to the ceiling, in order to summon his Akuma. Not before Toriado moved to Allen's side as well without a word. "It's six to seven," Allen murmured, then looked at the Earl.

The Earl's gaze hardened and for once in his life, his smile turned upside down into a very creepy frown. (OH MY GOD. I DIDN'T KNOW THE EARL COULD EVEN FROWN) "Allen Walker, I should have killed you when I had the chance to." However, instead of summoning his Akuma, he turned Lero into his anti-exorcism sword and lunged towards the Fourteen Noah. The Noah on the Earl's side moved to join the Earl in battle against the family of traitors.

The manor erupted into fighting. Allen was locked in a fight against the Earl with their blades. Tyki was battling Fiddler and Maashiima, Toriado was in battle against Lulubell while Rhode and her father took on Jasdero and Devitto. Wisely, although not as combat savvy as the rest of the family, was using his abilities to read minds along with some form of telekinesis against Miatora.

"Earl, I will defeat you!" Allen stated boldly, slashing at the Earl with his blade, but it was easily deflected. Allen was at a disadvantage in this fight. The Earl had absolute years on Allen in swordsmanship, and he had both arms to better control his blade with.

The fight between Allen's Noah and the Earl's Noah seemed even, until the Earl summoned his Akuma mid-combat and a bunch of the machines appeared and began firing upon Allen and his Noah. When Allen's sword rose to block the attack, the Earl struck, sending Allen against a pillar in the manor. That was when the battle turned and the Noah on the Earl's side began to push back the other Noah. Tyki phased through the wall before Fiddler's parasites could get to him, and Wisely screeched when Miatora's fist hit him square in his forehead eye.

Allen whistled shrilly to get their attention, and when the Akuma, and Noah's attention was on him, he sent the five other Noah through the Ark gates and into Ark.

"Allen-kun, that wasn't so bright," The Earl stated, that dumb grin of his back on his face as the other Noah began approaching him. Allen smiled and shook his head. "Not at all. But I at least care about the family." When the Earl's blade lashed out at Allen, losing strands of his hair in the process as his claws suddenly made contact with the Earl's fat stomach. "Edge End!" It sent the Earl flying into one of the other Noah, and Allen took this chance to attempt to form the gate in a split second.

Lulubell's claws, currently in the form of a large black panther slashed out at Allen, successfully clawing him across his stomach as he fell through the gate, shutting it after his entire body was through. By the time he'd gotten to his feet to lift his shirt and inspect the injury, it was mostly healed.

"You dumb idiot!" Tyki and Rhode hissed, their fists suddenly hitting Allen in the back of the head. "What do you think you were doing getting their attention like that! You could have gotten yourself killed."

"But I didn't?"

"You're so damn reckless, shounen!" Tyki snapped, but pulled Allen into a tight hug as Rhode joined in. No matter how angry the two were that their Allen was so reckless, they were happy to have him back and mostly unharmed.

"Oi! Tyki, get off my cute son!"

"He's my shounen, Sheryl."

"Yours?" Sherly suddenly pulled Allen out of Tyki and Rhode's hold and held onto him tightly. "What lewd and perverted things have you been doing to my son, Tyki?" Sheryl hissed, holding Allen tighter.

Wisely coughed lightly into his hand, and then looked at Allen. "What do you intend to do now, niisan?" He asked, tilting his head to the side. "What does Neah intend to do as well?"

Allen was fighting to get Sheryl off of him when he stopped to glance over at his brother. "I intend to find Skin Bolic's reincarnation before the Earl, hunt down the Heart of Innocence before he can find it, and utterly defeat him. The Order is not completely dismembered, either, so I intend to finish the job either. Central command needs to be taken out so that no human if compatible with Innocence can be taken away from their family. And once all that happens…I will defeat the Earl and take his position to end the chain of sorrow that the Akumas cause. And once that's been done, we will completely destroy all the Innocence to prevent it from ever harming anybody again."

The new Noah to the Third Side seemed pleased with Allen's answer.

"Now, you all have to be polite to the Exorcists and humans that are here," Allen stated, looking up at Sheryl. "That means you too, father. You can't say that they /arouse/ you…it just creeps people out."

"Oh. A human would never arouse me like you do, Allen!"

"Sheryl…get away from my shounen and stop giving us all the creeps," Tyki stated, calmly trying to pry his shounen from his brother's hold.

"You stay away from my cute son, you pervert!"

All the yelling had summoned any other person upon the Ark that wandered the streets of the city, and with both amused and shocked faces watched the two brothers argue over Allen.

Neah smiled inwardly, and shook his head. His family was even closer to completion. When he and Allen took over as the Earl, he would watch over humanity like the Earl was supposed to. He wouldn't destroy humanity, but he wouldn't save it either. Whether the human race lived or died depended on them.

A/N; Alright! Finally finished it. It took my long enough. Jesus. xD;

Next chapter; Enter the new Noah of Wrath.
