Chapter 25 – Beginning of the end part 2
A/N: SO, my cold is just as worse haha… and I'm busy with preparing my portfolio and stuff for college application X3 BUT, I will finish this story if it's the last thing I do! (Hopefully not) Only a few chapters left to go! As always, please comment v_v Enjoy.
Lenalee was nervously sitting outside the science division's room. She was told by General Kloud to guard Komui and all the others because she and Timothy were enough outside.
For a while now, explosions could be heard from all directions and from what she could hear from inside, Noah seemed to have appeared. And yet she was here, stuck, unable to help. It was frustrating really, yes, the Generals were very strong and yes, they could probably take out one Noah. But there wasn't just one, each of them were fighting at least two. But she did not have the right to move away from her position. At this point in time, the General's orders were absolute.
"Brother, how's everyone doing?" she said while peeking at the golem flying next to her "I'm not sure… I think Timothy and Kloud have a bit of a situation over there. General Sokalo, Marie and Krory are doing just fine, although the General seems to have a bit of a situation… Tiedoll is having no problems at all and Allen; well, I'm afraid we lost connection with them."
Lenalee watched the golem a few more seconds then turned her gaze to the hallway where some noises were heard. She activated her innocence and waited for whoever was there to come. They lost connection with Allen… A level two akuma and some level one's appeared from behind the corner as she jumped at them with no hesitation.
She gracefully jumped through the air, landing mortal yet elegant attacks on the demons. "Allen, can you hear me!?" The only thing she could hear from the golem was a blank noise and the occasionally explosion, but then "Le..alee, is th… ou?" "Allen!" "Sor…y, the go…em isn't wor…ing pro…rly!" "Allen, how are you doing over there? Are you guys ok?" Another explosion and a hysterical laugh could be heard before the boy could answer again "Yeah, we… just fi…e over h…re. How a…out you?" "I'm fine…"
Lenalee landed on the floor after destroying the last akuma and ran back to the door. "Who are you fighting Allen?" "Um…mm well, ri…th now, … me lev… four a..d Tik…y M…k, Kan…a and C..oji are fi…ing w…th Lulu B…ll." The girl nodded to herself and stared into the hall, waiting for another akuma to appear. She then remembered something in a very surprised manner "Huh…? Allen, weren't you fighting three Noah?"
From within the golem she could hear the fighting but the boy seemed to not want to answer her. "Allen…?" "We..l, I al…eady to…k car of Fi…ra so … it's j…st two ri…ht now" She froze in her position, slowly moving her gaze to the black golem. Already took care… did Allen kill him?!
Although this was to be expected in this situation, but for Allen, the gentle carrying boy to 'take care' of someone… Lenalee was taken aback by his statement "Did you…kill him?" she never wanted to say that. She never wanted those words to come out of her mouth, but they did, without her even realizing it. "…Ye…ah"
Kloud was standing back in back with Timothy, Lau Jimin circling them protectively. The two exorcists could hear both Devit and Jasdero laugh and sing, mocking them, but they couldn't see the twins. Just a few moments ago, after the General had called them weak little children, the two shot some purple bullets in their faces. "You can't see us~ you can't see us~"
Kloud closed her eyes and listened to the twin's voice, preparing her whip. When she reopened her eyes, Lau Jimin jumped in one direction and pushed the two Noah to the ground. "You talk too much" was all the General said while approaching them. "Why you…!" She still couldn't see them, but she didn't need to, really. She walked near her innocence and spoke "Lau Jimin, long range mode, Destruction Shell Lau Gunz" When the monkey heard her, it split in two, from the top of his head to his groin, a massive amount of energy accumulating, ready to fire. The twins started moving harder under the innocence's hands "W-wait!" "Fire"
An enormous ball of light swallowed the surrounding area, destroying most of the present akuma, except the one Timothy was using, as Lau Jimin released its power. A few seconds after impact, the purple mask on Timothy and Kloud's faces disappeared.
The General carefully examined the burned corpses of the twins before turning around to look at her disciple. "Timothy, how are your wounds?" The small boy had, by now, returned to his own body, holding his bleeding shoulder. "I'm fine…What about those two?" Kloud made her way next to her apprentice and bent down, placing a hand on his shoulder "Forget about them. Show me your wound."
"That hurt…bitch…" The General only reacted fast enough to see a light strike her and Timothy, sending the two flying, making them crash into the Order's walls. When she regained her senses, she heard two gunshots followed by a hysterical laugh and a song. She felt a hand grab her by the chin, making her look up and into the eye of Jasdevi. "Hey woman, don't die just yet. Let's have some fun!" With that, the Noah threw her yet again, crashing her into a tree.
Kloud tried to regain her breath while Lau Jimin jumped in front of her. The monkey had blood all over its body and was limping a bit, but that did not stop it from screaming at the new threat. Jasdevi laughed and started getting closer to the General. "This is great, woman, now we can have a real fight right!? Come on, show me the power of a General, why won't ya!?"
Kloud was prepared to yell at Lau Jimmin, giving her the order to attack but was stopped when she saw the tears appearing in the Noah's eyes. He too seemed a bit shocked, freezing in his walk. He wiped the ter away but more kept coming. "Ahh… so Fiidora was killed, huh?" Kloud stood up, looking through her memory. Fiidora was one of the Noah fighting Walker, which means… "Cross's apprentice killed him!"
Jasdevi looked back at Kloud, the tears still falling "We need to kill you in return, right!?" With that, the Noah charged, this time meeting with one of Lau Jimmin's attacks.
While the two were fighting, Timothy slowly regained his consciousness and got up from the ground. "General, what's the situation!? Can you hear me?" The boy looked down and saw the black golem trying to remove its wing from beneath a rock, while Komui was talking through it. He bent down and lifted the rock "Komui…!" "Ah, Timothy! Are you alright? What's going on over there!?" "Master is fighting that weird Jasberry or whatever his name was!" "Jasb- ah, no, more importantly, is the General ok?" "Well, I guess…Say, Komui, did Allen really kill a Noah?" "Huh!? I-I don't know, we lost connection with him a few minutes ago…"
"TIMOTHY, LOOK OUT!" The boy jumped, startled by his master's sudden screaming and turned around to see the blond hair coming straight toward his head. "Shit!" He did move out of the way, but not in time to avoid the attack fully. Some of the hair had pierced his left hand and shoulder, making him loose his balance and falling to his knees.
"Maybe we should kill him first? What do you say, General?" Lau Jimmin charged and bit the Noah's shoulder "Don't you dare!" She used her whip and caught Jasdevi's hands together "Lau Jimin! Long range mode, Destruction Shell Lau Gunz! Now!" "What the-" The innocence fired about five attacks nonstop, breaking the whip in the process but also heavily injuring the Noah. When the monkey stopped firing, Jasdevi crashed on the ground, heavily breathing, with huge burnt marks all over "Y-you bitch…" "Fire" Lau Jimmin continued firing another three attacks, pulverizing the Noah. "Here…is the power of a General, you despicable monster…"
Lau Jimmin deactivated as Kloud crashed to the ground. Timothy ran next to her when more akuma started to appear. "More…?!Tsukikami, take care of master!" With that, the boy transferred into the body of a level two and started fighting, leaving his 'partner' to take over his body "Will do! Come 'ere General. We gotta get ya in a safe place, 'k?" He picked the General and dragged her under the shelter of a tree while Timothy destroyed one akuma after another. The black golem followed 'Timothy' and the General. ""ey supervisor!" "This is… Tsukikamy, I presume?" "Yeah, the General got rid o' the Noah but she's pretty beaten up so, you think you could send some nurses ove' her' ?" "Right, I'll send some right away! How's Timothy?"
"Well, he's body's a bit… broke? But he's doin' just fine! Kickin' some ass ove' here!"
"I see, that's good to hear."
Sokalo jumped and charged again at the crying Noah "What!? Another one died or you just scared!?" Sheril was looking quite angry "Damn it!" He wiped his tears and landed next to Wisley. "Aren't you going to help?!" The younger Noah looked up at his brother, whipping the tears away "Help?" "Yeah! Why are you even here!?" "Well how can I help!?"
While the two were arguing, Krory and Sokalo were destroying the akuma that kept coming, blocking the way. "Well do something about that guy who uses his damn innocence to block my strings!" "Well, in case you haven't noticed, he's also blocking my Demon Eye with his music you know!?" At this point, Sokalo crashed his 'Madness' into the ground between the two Noah "Come now, I'm still here you know?" He then threw his innocence into Sheril's leg, injuring him badly "Don't go ignoring the enemy now, Noah!"
Sheril jumped on the ground, his leg bleeding to no end. "Damn you…" Sokalo didn't wait for him to finish, instead jumped at him again, his innocence spinning at light speed "Cremation Dance!" The Noah managed to dodge the deadly weapon, but not entirely, as his left hand was sliced clean off. "AAAAAAGH!" He grabbed the bleeding hand, or what remained of it, and glared furiously at the laughing General. "Come on Noah! Show me what you're made of!"
More tears started falling as yet another Noah was killed somewhere in the battlefield "Shit! Again!?" Sheril screamed as he angrily whipped his tears away and used his super speed to get behind the General. Sokalo moved to the side a bit late, as the Noah touched his arm and broke the bones from within. In response, the General threw his innocence into the Noah's stomach.
Sheril jumped back in pain, trying to get as far from the man as possible but found himself stuck to Marie's strings. Now that he was right next to them, the damn song that was blocking his own strings was even louder. He watched the General get closer to him, the black golem flying next to his head "Hey Komui, let's hear the situation, who's dead!?" Through the golem the supervisor's voice could be heard "Jasdevi were killed by Kloud and Fiidora and Lulu Bell were both killed by Allen"
The Noah froze in his position, processing the information. Fiidora was weak, he was an easy kill, but Jasdevi was strong when in its original form and Lulu Bell was one of the strongest, and yet they were both defeated!?
"Hear that? You're going to be next on the list!" Sokalo started spinning his Madness again, while Sheril tried to move out of the way, but to his surprise, he was stuck. He looked to his far right and saw Marie holding the strings, keeping him in place "YOU DAMNED EXORCIST!" Sokalo threw the innocence directly through the Noah, killing him instantly.
Somewhere on the battlefield, Wisley started crying again. "Huh…? Sheril was killed?" Lying next to his feet was Krory, blood coming from his head. The Noah looked in the direction where he last saw Sheril. Krory started moving again and grabbed the boy's leg "Don't look away brat!" Before the Noah could react, Krory threw him into the ear, making him crash into a tree. "Ow! That hurt!" He wined as he got back to his feet.
The exorcist was rapidly attacking him, but Wisley somehow managed to dodge "Let's see now" he placed his fingers next to his Demon Eye, looking intently at the man, while still dodging. "Oh! I found something interesting." The boy jumped on a rock a few feet away, sitting in cross-legged position "Eliade, is it?"
Krory froze in place "What?" Wisley smirked and looked into the man's eyes "Eliade, it's a woman you loved and then killed, isn't she?" The exorcist got angry and charged at the Noah still seated "Should I make you… suffer?" In that instant, replacing Wisley's small body, Eliade, in full flesh appeared in front of him. Krory was too fast and could not stop his attack, piercing her stomach "Eli…a…de?" The woman gently placed one hand on his face, the other on the arm going in her stomach as tears and blood started dripping down her face "You're hurting me…" She said, making Krory jump back in shock.
She fell to the ground, holding her wound and looking up at him "Why, Arystar? It hurts… please don't hurt me, I love you." Krory slowly walked backwards, watching Eliade bleed, watching his hand covered in her blood, the blood of the woman he loved. He watched as she died by his hands yet again.
"Arystar!" Sokalo yelled when he saw the man on the ground, beneath him a huge eye that strongly resembled the one on the Noah's head. "What did you do? No, more importantly, shouldn't you call for backup? I'm afraid you're going to be killed" Wisley looked up, still concentrating on Krory's memories "I wonder; if you kill me, he's never going to come back you know?"
The General did not react, just stood there, looking into the Noah's eyes "Really now?" Wisley smiled in response while Sokalo lifted his innocence into attacking position "Too bad about that" He charged and was met by three level fours. "Don't you care?" The Noah asked still watching as the man fought the akumas "Well, if all goes well, the war is going to be over by nightfall! One less exorcist… who the hell gives a damn!?" He sliced two of the akuma, blood raining over his body. Wisley trembled a bit "Such a scary man…"
Another few akuma appeared, some fighting with Marie over in the back, stopping him from extending his strings and blocking Wisley, while the stronger akuma, all level fours and threes were keeping Sokalo away from the Noah. He returned his gaze to Krory and smiled "Should I break you?"
