Alarms began to loudly ring throughout the entire Head Quarters of the Black Order during the middle of the night. Kesenai woke up immediately as soon as the alarms went off "WHAT THE HELL?!" he asked.

"Seems like there's intruders…" Road said, waking up.

"I'll go check then." Kesenai got up.

"Wait… Please be careful… I had a nightmare… Everything… Dead… I was crying with both the dead bodies of you and Tyki…" she grabbed his shirt, eyes showing sadness.

In his mind he thought: "I killed Tyki… I could never tell her that though… So I may as well keep that a secret…" "I have to go. It might be an Akuma attack or worse, a false alarm!" he chuckled, leaving from the grip of Road, to whatever danger would lie ahead.

"What's going on?" he thought in his head. Allen, Lenalee, Kanda, Archie, Lavi, and Crowley were all out of their rooms, standing at the entrance of the Science Department.

"Why is everyone here?" Kesenai asked.

"Same reason as you." Archie looked at him.

"Seems like someone managed to breach into the Science Department…" Kanda said.

"Oh really? They always did have the best security." Kesenai said in sarcasm.

"Guys. Enough of the babbling, we should go to try and check on the Science Department." Lavi said.

"That's the problem, stupid rabbit. We can't break through." Kanda said.

"Guys, it's called 'If you can't find a door, then make one." Kesenai sighed, activating his Innocence. He tapped the wall of the Science Department, a door building itself. "Anyone want to stay behind in case it's a Noah, or probably the Earl himself?" Kesenai turned to ask.

"I'll still go, no matter what." Allen said.

"No point in turning back. I'm with the bean sprout." Kanda said.

"Same here. I'm agreeing with Yu!" Lavi said.

"I told you not to call me by my first name, stupid rabbit!" Kanda said.

"I'm with all of you guys." Archie said.

"I'll go too." Crowley replied.

"Me too." Lenalee nodded.

Kesenai sighed "Alright then. Lets go." he opened the door, heading in first. Everyone else soon followed up.

Kesenai walked in to see everything, destroyed, the bodies of about half the staff, dead. "Why do I feel a familiar presence here… As well as another one… They seem to be waging war… No Akuma though… Very strange… They're… Oh no! They're aiming for the Akuma factory!" he thought. "Guys! Hurry up!" he began to run.

"Why?" Allen asked.

"Simple, they're aiming for the Akuma Factory! Most likely the Earl!" he answered, still running. "You guys wait here, I'll say when you guys can charge in. If I don't say anything for at least 10 minutes, either I am dead, or I was fighting." Kesenai said, running more ahead than everyone else.

James was fighting a mysterious boy with red hair, tattoos running down his face, and an eye patch covering his left eye (If you paid any, and I mean any attention. Then you would know who this guy is…) For some strange reason, James' katana was not slicing through the boy's arms every time he blocked the sword attacks. "Seriously, why the hell am I not killing you here?!" James seemed to be getting pissed off.

Kesenai thought: "Looks like 'Burn' is taking over…" Kesenai sweat dropped, remembering what happened the last time 'Burn' came into effect.

"That's because you're too weak against someone like me." the boy smirked, dodging, and blocking all of his attacks. Kesenai was unsure whether to help or not. James looked to see Kesenai just standing there.

"IF YOU'RE GOING TO BE HERE, THEN HELP ME OUT!" James yelled.

Kesenai sighed "Fine." He began to etch hexagons on a few circles with his stylus and then pulled out his sword, jumping into the battlefield to assist James. He swung down on him, trying to cut him but instead, the sword was blocked by the boy's free arm.

The boy yawned "You guys suck… Try giving me more of a challenge." he smirked.

Kesenai jumped back and noted that he left a cut on his arm, but James didn't even land a cut, nor a scratch. Kesenai thought about it. "James was always the better fighter than I was. He'd manage a cut through a lot of things, but this guy didn't even gain a scratch from James' blows. Wait, considering that James had been fighting him for a while… Could it be that this guy's power… His power is to lower the amounts of strength a person has, that way it looks like he's unbeatable? Sounds a bit logical. But I'll need more proof…" he thought.

"Move your slow ass and help me out!!" James yelled still hopelessly swinging his katana at the boy.

"Hm. More like whatever touches him will lose it's effectiveness by some extent. Meaning a stronger attack may kill him if it's a one-shot kill. If it requires multiple hits, then it will take forever just to kill this bastard." he thought logically (Note: Gasp! He's actually thinking about it in a logical way again!) "All preparations are complete!" Kesenai said, running his hand over his sword.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" James yelled again, still being mocked by the boy. Kesenai didn't answer, his sword now glowing light blue. His sword then changed into a hand blade (Kind of like the ones Asuma has from Naruto.)

"Now then." Kesenai smirked, the blade now glowing full white. He then ran at the boy. The boy looked and his eyes widened to see the Innocence-charged blade, back flipping away from it like an acrobat. "Damnit, he figured it out." Kesenai thought, running at him again. Quickly out of nowhere, James jumped in and made the attempt to stab the boy's heart. Sadly, it didn't even pierce the flesh.

"It's pointless for you to keep…" he grabbed James' throat "…attacking me…" he said, squeezing James' throat very harshly.

"Screw you!" James yelled kicking the boy away, sending him flying straight into a wall. James' katana began gathering high, yet dense levels of Dark Matter, getting ready for the next attack. "Black Moon Slash!" he yelled, slashing his sword 8 times in the direction of the boy, sending 8 spears of high density Dark Matter (An improved version of the Eight Flowers Praying Mantis.) All 8 of them hit the boy at full force. An explosion occurred, causing smoke to form. The boy walked out of the smoke, several scratches and burns on his body. Sadly, those all healed up back to the way he originally was.

"Calm down!" Kesenai yelled, running at the newly healed boy. The boy began laughing evilly and his Noah features began revealing themselves. 7 pitch black crosses (Like stigmata) across his forehead, and gray skin. He smirked and pointed his middle and index fingers on his right hand at Kesenai, and the middle and index fingers at James. "Watch out!" Kesenai yelled, jumping up.

"Screw you!" James yelled, running at the Noah.

"Burn… Black Flames…" he whispered, pointing both sets of his fingers at James, a small thin line that could barely be seen was moving towards James. Kesenai looked and saw the line, landing on the ground, he ran to James.

"Get out of there!!" he yelled pushing him out and the line touched his left arm. Suddenly, black flames formed on his arm, burning his flesh. "Ugh! Damnit…" he cursed under his breath, the pain spreading to his whole body, except for his right arm.

"What the hell?! I could've handled that for myself!" James yelled at him.

"Shut up idiot! I took the hit on my own free will and that's how you thank me?!" he yelled back.

The Noah sweat dropped "I'm wondering how you both trouble the Earl so much, and yet you get barely anything done against me."

"It's how we work. So shut up!" James answered. James then began running at his enemy again, turning his sword into a scythe "Dark Hurricane!" he called out his attack jumping into the air and spinning his scythe in circles at rapid speeds. A vortex of Dark Matter was released, the attack engulfing the Noah.

"You fools… I am the Noah of Pride… Mike Kenshiki… And I'll be the one to kill you and bring this giant… Chicken… Egg… Thing… Whatever it is, back to Master Earl." the Noah laughed as the attack James sent suddenly disappeared. The black flames on Kesenai's left arm began spreading, slowly. "You, I have cursed you with the Black Flames of Hell… They can't be doused out… So good luck even trying to. They're made of pure Dark Matter, and will continue to burn until it engulfs your entire damned body." he laughed.

"I don't care what happens to this damned body of mine… As long as I kill you I'll be alright with it!" he yelled, running at Mike. He then began slashing at him with the hand blade. Mike sighed and parried all the blows as if without worry and then tapped Kesenai's chest, sending him flying backwards using Dark Matter to force him back. Kesenai crashed into a wall that was all the way across the room.

"Okay, I think we should go assist him." Allen said, starting to head in.

"But we can't, remember what he said?" Lenalee replied.

"Lenalee, be reasonable, there were explosions going on over there, we really should assist him." Lavi said, walking in with Allen.

"I hate to admit it, but I'll have to agree with the stupid rabbit and the bean sprout." Kanda replied, walking in as well.

"My name's Allen! Not bean sprout!" Allen complained.

"Whatever." Kanda kept walking.

"I guess I'll go too…" Archie sighed and walked in. Crowley and Lenalee sighed and just went along with everyone else. They didn't know what lied ahead…
