Akatsuki's eyes were open that night. He could not sleep at all… Something ominous is going to happen… I can feel it… were the thoughts in his mind. He felt the raw danger of something going to happen, but what was it? It could not have been a Noah attack, for the Noah were staying with them, even Lulubell was calm, she was sleeping next to Akatsuki… So who or what could have been causing this much distress in his mind?
He sighed and dismissed the thoughts as he closed his eyes. As soon as his eyes closed, earsplitting, loud screams echoed through his mind. His eyes immediately opened and he looked around, making sure no one was in the room other than himself and Lulubell. He stood up from the bed and walked towards the door into the room and cautiously raised his hand to the doorknob.
He gulped, thinking "Did someone die? Who died? Why was there such a loud, earsplitting scream? Looks like I will see once I open this door…" He twisted the doorknob and pulled the doorknob to open the door to the Black Order's dark hallways. "Nothing… What the hell is going on here? Am I hearing things…?" he thought as he walked back into his room. The lock clicked, and he walked over to his cabinet to find a candle.
Suddenly, blood curling, skin crawling screams began to echo through the dark hallways of Black Order. "Another scream…" he thought in his mind, "this is getting suspicious… all these screams happened tonight, after James left us alone… This is not right…" He shook it off and struck a match, using it's dim light to search for his candle. He walked over to a nearby candle, and stuck the tip of the match which was on fire onto the tip of the candle, igniting it.
Light filled the room, extinguishing shadows from the room, allowing him to see what was in the room. He placed his hand upon the doorknob and twisted it. As soon as the doorknob was twisted, more blood curling screams were heard, this time the person who screamed actually said something faint, but it sounded like 'Save me! No, d-don't kill me!"…
"What the?!" Akatsuki thought as he began to run to where he heard the screams. Suddenly, a foul stench of iron smacked him across the face. "Smells like… iron… but there should not be anything here that smells like iron so it might be… blood…" he thought in his mind. He searched himself for the hilt of his katana, which was on his waist. He grabbed onto the hilt, in case it would be needed.
Wild yells of a madman could be heard from down the hall. The yelling sounded almost like fear rather than a savage…
Akatsuki looked out the window to see it was the dawning time of day. He thought "This dawn looks… threatening… it looks like blood…" he thought in his mind.

Lenalee remained awake, hearing so many blood curling screams. Her skin felt like it was literally crawling due to such screams. She wondered, who could be screaming? The screams though sounded like her nightmare was now coming true… She thought "The screams… the screams… they… the screams sound like my nightmare… Did Akatsuki…" she thought. Suddenly, more screams rang out, this time these screams were ones that you would hear from person who got stabbed and was dying.
"Did someone just die?! No, I can't let my world die now! I will fight back to make sure that nightmare never comes true, even if it costs my life!" she thought as she sprung into action. She walked over to the door leading to her room and twisted the handle. She pulled the door, opening it and she activated her Dark Boots. The rings around her ankles transformed into high-heel boots with butterfly-like attachments at the back. Rings formed behind the butterfly wings, and bursts of green Innocence energy burst forth. She flew at top speed, flying to where the screams had originated.

"Lenalee!" Akatsuki called out as soon as he saw Lenalee zip right by him with her high speeds. He had seen his own share of many dead bodies, as well as a river of blood. Though he did not get it, who was doing this? For what reason were they killing so many people?
She stopped and looked towards Akatsuki with a face that showed horror. She had seen many dead bodies, as well as seeing a lot of blood due to the bodies being slaughtered. The slaughtering occurred on only Finders, so it was safe to assume that the killer had not found any Exorcists just yet.
"Lenalee, I hear a lot of screams from that room over there… I think the killer might be there right now… Do you think you can handle whatever you may see there?" he asked, holding the hilt of his katana in preparation for the battle that lies ahead.
"Yes, this was nearly how my nightmare was… I refuse to allow my nightmare to come true, so I will stop the killer before he annihilates…" a sudden thought stopped her. "Wait a minute… if he's there… then who…" her eyes widened. Quickly, she kicked the door down…

"DEATH! BEAUTIFUL DEATH!" someone bellowed with an evil cackle behind the voice. The person who yelled that had murdered numerously massive amounts of Black order members. Blood of those he murdered, covered this person's hands. His left hand was strange though. It was all black, with long claws. His skin was the color of gray, meanwhile bored seven pitch-black crosses that ran across his forehead in a straight line. The murderer appeared to have been wearing a top hat, in which he hid his hair in, making hair color and style unidentifiable. "EVERYONE DIE! EVERYONE WILL DIE AT MY HANDS!" he kept bellowing, slashing his mighty claws at everyone who stood in his way.
"Could it be…?" Lenalee thought, her eyes widening. She was now thinking that it was… Allen Walker… "A-Allen…?" she croaked, almost as if calling out for Allen. As soon as she said that, the killer looked at her with a smirk on their face.
"Looks like you are more brighter than you look, bitch." the killer chuckled their cold chuckle. "Yes, I am Allen, but at the same time, I am not your precious little weakling, Allen Walker. I am the demon within him, the Noah of Purity!" the killer cackled and threw his top hat away. Pure white hair flowed from the Noah Allen's face, and his left eye was active, almost as if detecting Akuma.
"You are all going to die now that you have seen me right here, right now!" he laughed, running towards Akatsuki and Lenalee with his claws ready to kill them. The insane murderous intent reflected within his Noah and Cursed eyes, so both Akatsuki and Lenalee jumped back to get away from Allen.
Akatsuki unsheathed his katana and it glowed a blood-red incandescence. "Angels and Demons, rise again to allow the dawn of a new day… Innocence, activate; Fallen Angel!" he called out the name of his Innocence. The incandescence covered his whole body and he mightily swung his sword at the Noah Allen. "Dawn Arising; Heaven Cutter!" he called out his next attack. Suddenly, a large burst of blood-red Innocence energy flew at Allen at an alarming rate.
The Noah Allen smirked and parried the attack by dodge rolling to the right. Quickly, he grabbed the wave with his Crown Clown, whirled around in a tornado-like movement and threw it directly at Lenalee. "TAKE THIS FUCKERS!" he screeched in a maniacal way.
"A…A…Allen…" Lenalee's tears were beginning to fall. She did not expect Allen to be the person who destroyed her world… she had hoped the nightmare was just going to be a fake out, something that would never happen in real time, though sadly, it already is happening, and her world was going to crumble if nothing was done… Defeat Allen, and her world would crumble anyway, allow Allen to kill her friends though, her world would break into pieces and snap her into insanity… either way she would be damned…
"LENALEE!" Akatsuki called out, snapping her back into reality with his voice. He blocked the deflected attack with his katana, being pushed back by the Heaven Cutter. "Alright then, how about--" he was cut off by a figure appearing before him. This figure was… Hakumei Hikari!
"Brother, do not worry, we will take care of him… together…" he said softly as he pulled out the hilt of a sword from his pocket. "Destroy the enemies of the twilight and dawn… Twilight Blade!" he called out his Innocence. "Now then, Noah, time for your kingdom come!" he said and suddenly, a burst of yellow-orange light escaped forth from the base of where the blade was usually located. The light slowly thinned, taking the shape and length of a 24-foot katana. "Twilight Blade…" he said in a soft whisper, and disappeared with a flash of light.
Akatsuki knew what was going to happen next, so he did the, disappearing in a flash of blood-red light. He appeared behind Allen, as well as Hakumei. The both of them swung down on Allen. Akatsuki called out the attack name "Dawn Arising; Burning Purification!"
"Burst, Twilight Flare!" Hakumei called out his next attack as well. from the edge of his Innocence energy katana, a burst of orange Innocence energy in the shape of an 'x' flew at Allen.
Allen cackled a maniacal anger, and suddenly funeral music played by a piano played out of thin air. "TAKE THIS!" he shouted, and the music began to become louder, more threatening, and more funeral-like. Suddenly, images flowed through the twins' minds, images that related to their deaths…
For Akatsuki, he saw images of his loved one, Lulubell, slaughtered mercilessly by Allen Walker. This did not cause fear in him, yes it caused depression to have to see it, but it also allowed anger into his heart.
For Hakumei, images of his brother's death were playing, as well as his true past…
Allen walked towards the twins with his claws ready for murder. "This is my killing technique… cause depression within all of you bastards, and end your grief by tearing your pathetic human lives away from the cycle of life…" he said softly as he pointed his claws first to Akatsuki.
"Stay away from them right now, bean sprout!" a certain someone's voice rang out. Suddenly, a katana that glowed the color blue appeared out of the shadows, slicing up towards Allen.
Quickly, Allen jumped back to evade the attack. He looked to see who it was. It was Kanda, and he was not alone… Lavi was with him!
"Well, well, well Allen, looks like you turned into a Noah…" Lavi said softly as he activated his Tessei Innocence.
"Yes, and it is just fucking fun! I GET TO KILL EXORCISTS AND TEAR THEIR INNOCENCE AWAY!" he cackled. "Now then, I get the chance to kill the people that I have always wanted to fucking kill…" he said softly as his claws glowed with Dark Matter.
