Envision with our eyes, and keep within our hearts, the path to tomorrow. And on that path, we fight-
* In Road's parallel dimension. *
"Oh my, oh my~~" Road says. "What did those guys do to become so lively~~? ...Is it because that Miranda person is compatible? I don't know how she did it though. Looks like somehow that woman revitalized them.
* Inside the shield. *
Miranda clenched her chest tightly.
* Outside of the shield. *
Lenalee looked up at Road.
"Allen, who's that child?" Lenalee asked. "It's that child we met... at the theater, right? Akuma?" She guessed.
"... no." Allen answered. "Human."
"... I see."
Road then writes the name of Allen.
"A-L-L-E-N." Road says as she finishes. "Allen Walker, 'the one who can see the souls of Akuma'. Actually, I heard about you from the Millennium count, so I know a bot about you. You became an Exorcists to save the souls of Akuma, right? Because you were cursed by your beloved father." She smiled. "So I decided, if I was going to get involved with anyone, it'd be you. And your friend, Lacie~~"
Allen's eyes widened.
"Hey, you." Road said to Witch.
"Yes?" Witch answered.
"Self-destruct." She ordered.
"Eh?"
"Umbrella," Road called. "countdown."
"Te... 10." the golem began. "9. 8."
"Wait... Mis... Miss Road, not that..." Witch pleaded.
"7."
"I've finally evolved this far..."
"6. 5."
Road ignored Witch.
"... GH!" Witch grunted. "MISS ROAD?"
"Hey!?" Allen shouted. "What are you up to...?"
"You know..." Road spoke. "If you break an Akuma without using Innocence to destroy it, for instance, if you force it to self-destruct,"
"3." the golem said.
"The Akuma's soul with disappear into Dark Matter. Did you know that? AND THEN YOU CAN'T SAVE IT, RIGHT!?"
"2."
"STOP!" Allen shouted and rushes to the Akuma.
"ALLEN, NO!" Lenalee shouted. "YOU WON'T MAKE IT IN TIME!"
Before it explodes... destroy it...! Allen thought as he aims.
"1." Road finishes.
Lenalee grabs Allen and blocks him just before the Akuma exploded.
"UGYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!" Witch screamed.
Allen sees the soul of the Akuma by using his Cursed Eye. The soul reaches out to him.
"Help me~" the soul said.
"KYAHAHAHAHA!" Road laughs.
"AAAH!" Allen screams.
"ALLEN..." Lenalee calls.
"DAMN..." Allen curses. "WHY DID YOU STOP ME!?" He yelled at Lenalee angrily.
Lenalee slaps Allen in the face. And she starts tearing up.
"Because we're friends...!" Lenalee tells Allen.
"Great, great!" Road said amused. "Running headfirst into an explosion, you're even more amusing than I expected!"
"You..." Allen glared at her.
"But, are you sure it's all right?" Road said. "That woman over there." She pointed at Miranda.
Scissor started to attack Miranda's shield.
"YOU'RE ATTACKING!?" Miranda shouted.
Allen and Lenalee are then attacking Scissor that is trying to attack Miranda.
"Wind-Sickles!" Scissor said.
Lenalee gave the finishing blow on Scissor and destroyed it. After defeating it, Road landed on the floor behind Allen.
"You destroyed it! Well, let's call it quits for now." Road says. "Ah~a, that was more fun than I expected to be."
She faced Allen and a heart-shaped door (Door) appeared behind her.
"Bye~"
Before Road enters through the door, Allen points Cross Beta at her head as his tears stream down his face. Road smirks.
"You're so nice, Allen~" She says. "You hate me, don't you? Don't shoot. You're hand is also a weapon, Allen."
Allen gritted his teeth tight.
"But an Exorcist crying because an Akuma disappeared it a big no-no. If you act like that, no one will like you."
Road enters the door and then she turned around. Beside her was an Akuma Maid carrying Lacie.
"Let's play again sometime, Allen." Road says. "She'll be really pretty as a doll~ hehe~ Bye-bye."
"LACIE!" Allen calls out, but the Door closed and disappeared. "Damn..."
