Allen had finally win his battle against Tyki, the Noah of Pleasure, but what is this feeling that he had, telling him to go away from the arc as fast as he can. Why? He won already. Is it the lack of time that affects him? No. It's something more powerful than that… something that is darker than black.

…

Allen is about to leave the arc through Road's door. Akira is leaving behind; she will accompany Tyki and Lero and look for another way out. Allen can only stare at her back silently. Lavi put his arm on one of Allen's shoulder, shaking his head. Lenalee had tried to bargain with her before, but it's useless.

"Allen, no matter how, we can't save Arisa from the arc." Lavi said to Allen with sad eyes. "I know that you wanted to save her no matter what, but…"

…

"It's impossible for her to get out from this body again."

Allen stared at Akira with widened eyes. Akira can only cross her arms and stare at Allen. "Why? She's our friend! We want her back!"

"It's useless…"

Allen's body is freezing in his spot.

"She already used too much of her power to help the Bookman when he was captured in Road-chan's dream. For now, I'm the master of this body. She can't get out unless I wanted too. Yet, if she can make it out, I doubt that she will remember you all."

Lenalee and Lavi stared at Akira with widened eyes and gasped.

"That's a lie…" Lenalee muttered

Lavi stared at the ground with his fist clenched and he gritted his teeth. "So, it's all because of me…?"

Akira turned slightly and stared at Lavi, she frowned even more than before. She moved forward until she's in front of Lavi. She grabbed his jaw with one of her arms, causing him to flinch and hissed slightly. She let go of her arm, only to punch his face until he fall down on the floor.

"OW! What did you do that for?!"

"Are you stupid?!" Akira raised her voice. She grabbed Lavi's collar and pull him closer to her. "It wasn't your freaking fault! Stop blaming yourself and get on with it! She saved you because she wanted to, not because she was obliged to! Why won't you give her some credit and get out of here?" she released her arm from his collar and step back. "Leave before this place crumbles. Please, we only wished for you to be saved." She begged.

Allen raised his left arm and smiled. "Would you like to come with us?"

Akira can only stare at Allen with hateful eyes. This caused Allen to flinch. "I'm no exorcist, and besides I won't leave my family. I have abandoned them for fourteen years. I will stay here."

"Please, Akira. We want you back to the Order." Lenalee pleaded.

Akira shook her head. "You don't want me. The one you wanted is the other me. Isn't?"

Lenalee took a step back, guilt washed over her face. "That's…"

"And when you brought me to your so called home," she replied with a sarcastic tone. "You will find a way to brought her back and eliminate me, aren't you?" she narrowed her eyes.

"What if we won't?" Allen quickly replied.

"Tch can't argue with that." She turned her back from them. "Anyway, this is my resolve. Can't you all at least respect that?"

"Extend." Lavi ordered his innocence.

"Lavi! We won't leave her here!" Allen screamed at him.

"Then what about Kanda, Allen? We can't save him either. The only way out for us is that door, and that is her resolve. She can save Kanda when she got out."

Allen can only give in to Lavi's explanation. He grabs Lavi's hammer hesitantly, and took a glance at Akira and Tyki for one last time. Lavi took them at the highest point of the floor, revealing the exit of the arc.

Allen glances back down to see Akira and Tyki. He straightened his head. "I will pick them up out of here. You guys go ahead!" he was prepared to jump back down.

Lavi quickly grab Allen by his shoulder. "Hey, hey. Are you serious?!"

"Tyki Mikk is a free Noah. He's just a normal human now. And Arisa, I just don't want to leave her behind." Allen replied.

Chaoji's surprised with Allen's reply. "Rescue…? You mean you didn't kill that man…?" his voice sounded so dark and full of hatred.

"He's still alive." Three only three words that Allen can throw at Chaoji.

"What…? Even though he's with the akuma who killed Master Anita and Mahoja, along with many other comrades…? How come you rescue him? I don't believe this… You are going to betray our resolve?" Blood vessels constrict his head, causing Chaoji to look scarier. He can't accept the Akuma, the hatred, the grudge; they are all taking his senses. "That woman betrayed you and almost killed Lenalee and Lavi. She almost kick me in the head! And yet, you will still save her?!"

Allen can only stare at Chaoji.

…

Akira watched them leave and went back to Tyki. Lero can only cry besides Tyki begging for the Earl's help. But he didn't come to aid them. After a few minutes, Akira didn't sense them leaving the Arc. Instead, she felt a dark aura. But she was disturbed by a crying pumpkin.

"Tch, shut up for a moment will you?! I'm trying to think here!"

Lero quickly shut its mouth and stare at Akira while she closes her eyes.

'Why do I feel an intense amount of grudge from up there?' she thought, raising one of her eyebrows.

"Akira-sama, may I ask something – Lero"

"Hm."

"Why didn't you kill them in sight?"

At Lero's question, Akira quickly snapped her eyes opened, revealing the crimson color of her eyes, while starting at Lero. The pumpkin flinched a bit.

"I'm so sorry – Lero! I didn't mean to –"

"What are you talking about? They had won the fight didn't they?" She averted her gaze from Lero to the floor above them. "Besides, Noahs never broke their promises." She said with a smile.

"Lero…Akira-sama, will we ever get out of here? Lero"

She smiled more brightly at the pumpkin. "Of course we will! The only obstacle is carrying this perverted uncle out of here…" she stared at him. Her smile quickly turned to frown, and she closes her eyes to think again. Suddenly a dark aura crept on her, causing her eyes to widened in suprise. 'What's with this dark aura?' she felt her knees wobbles slightly. 'It's so thick. Just who in the world…' She flinched and looks at Tyki. 'Uh-oh.'

"Tyki!" She shakes his shoulder. "Oi, Tyki! Shit! Don't you snap on me!"

Tyki quickly stood up, on his back, iron tentacles are slithering everywhere around him. With Godspeed, he quickly pushes Arisa into the wall, causing it to crumble all around her. Just above her, the floor is cracking and hit her in the head. Allen is falling besides her and the floor stumbles above her, causing her head to bleed.

'My heart throbs…' she thought as she saw Tyki releasing his Noah's powers. Immediately, she knew that this is not Tyki Mikk. 'As I breathe in, it felt so cold.' She looks at Allen on the other side of the room.

Allen quickly het up and screamed on top of his lungs. "Akira! Are you okay?!" He quickly grabs her head, putting it up on his lap. She looked at Allen with ragged breath as her consciousness started to fade. Her lips moved slowly muttering something. Allen can't listen clearly, so he put his ear over to her mouth.

"R…Run, All..Allen Walker… I hav—"

Allen's eyes widened in surprise. Even if she's hurt, she still thought about Allen's safety. 'I have a really bad feeling about this…' she thought and her vision darkened.

Allen put her head on the floor gently. 'The power of Noah that reside in Tyki Mikk. I thought it was destroyed…' Allen thought. Tyki's eyes looked empty and stared at Allen as he gritted his teeth and pulled out his sword. He prepared himself in defensive mode. "What's going on…!? Why is this happening!? Allen stared at Tyki's white gloved hand as bloods started to drop onto the cracked floor, revealing a strange color. Through Tyki's torned glove, A cross mark is cutting his skin. 'His blood…is black!?'

Out of no where, Tyki started to scream and brought Allen's attention to him. Black like aura's and the iron chains are slithering around his body as he screamed louder. Causing a barricade to form around Tyki's body and blowing strong winds to Allen. All of a sudden, Tyki's human form had changed into a knight in black shining armor. Without hesitation, Allen quickly flew behind him and strike his back.

But Tyki just disappeared. Allen's sword is hitting the floor, causing it to crack. 'He vanished…!? Where is he…!?' Without Allen noticing, a blow went to his left shoulder, causing blood to flow wildly. "Eh…"In a second, Tyki quickly flew behind Allen and threw him away with just a fistful punch. Tyki didn't stop. He quickly strikes Allen over and over again, not hearing his screams of pain. His counter attack, his speed, he continued to attack Allen recklessly with his inhumanly power and threw Allen into a wall. Without Lavi coming to his aid, he would have probably died.

"Lavi, the door."

"Tch Allen. We can't go out anymore. The door is—"

Lavi's words are stopped by Tyki's sarcastic laughter. With just a move of hand, he quickly blew Lavi and Allen away. In his defense, Lavi see the form of demons, even for just a moment. For once, he was scared. "Extend!" Lavi brought Allen to the floor on top of him. Lenalee stared at him, seeing his eyes that are filled with anxious feeling. Without any moment to pass by, Tyki quickly jump and attack Lavi. Lavi manage to defend himself for just a moment, before he could feel a warm liquid flowing out of his body.

Lavi quickly fell down on his knees. His breathing grew harsh and ragged. Tyki can only move his head to see Lavi slightly and see the stain of blood on his black gloves. The sound of blood dripping from his arm, Lavi's blood, brought him to a big grin, before he licked the blood off from his glove.

Allen hasn't given up just yet. He brought his sword nearer to the Noah, in attempt to slice him, but failed. He can only fly backward with just one move from Tyki's arm.

Lavi and Lenalee stared at Allen with widened eyes. 'This is bad…' They saw Tyki kept on attacking Allen, causing him to scream in pain more than before. 'He is too strong… He's not at a level where we can just try our best and hope to beat him…' The Iron chains come to Lavi and choke him on the neck, causing Lavi to gasp for breaths and pain. 'What should we…'

Allen and Lavi quickly stumble down to the floor under them, accompanying Akira in her unconscious form. Tyki didn't hesitate. He quickly grab Lenalee's neck and her feet didn't even touch the floor anymore. Her eyes began to get clouded. 'We can't…here…'

…

"Even if our bodies vanished into the sea… our lives will become yours and the exorcists and so be passed on. And when those lives once more save other lives, and so for new connections, in that moment, we won't see them or meet them, but we will certainly are present there." Anita said while cupping Chaoji's cheek with both of her hands. Tears stained his cheek. "Live, Live and survive. We will no longer be able to see one another, but my comrade…" she continued.

Anita's big words brought the crews into tears.

'Use your life to save those exorcists. At that moment, we will certainly be by your side.'

…

Chaoji quickly run to Lenalee's aid he was crying, nonetheless, he still helped her. He brought up his fist into the air, just before the ground under them crumbles. Lenalee quickly use this chance to kick the Noah by his neck. But that didn't do anything. Instead, Tyki threw her ito the ground as hard as he can, causing Lenalee to lost consciousness. Chaoji jumped down to reach her. "ANITA SAMA!" he screamed.

Just before he hit the ground and crushed by the floor, Chaoji manage to stop the floor from crushing himself, Lenalee, Lavi, Allen and Akira with only his fists. He reacts to the Innocence from outside the Arc. But he couldn't hold up much longer, until Allen and Lavi regain from their consciousness. They quickly stood up in front of Chaoji and Lenalee and together, the strike Tyki. Still, it was useless. The can't even touch him. Just then, the floor under Allen cracked and a strong arm captured on of his legs.

"What is this filthy little brat?" said the stranger while he was standing on a chained coffin. His head is masked with a skull. "I thought he looked all right for a moment there, but…" he sighed. "No, he's just filthy… he hasn't changed a bit since the day I found him, my idiot apprentice." A familiar small figure is sitting on top of his head. He brought Allen up on the floor where Tyki resides and torn the skull mask from his face. Revealing a long red hair and a stubborn face.

Allen can only stare at the familiar figure in front of him. "Master…" he muttered. "Ti-Tim, you too…"

Cross stared back at Allen's left hand, and look at his sword that Allen hold in his right arm. "Looks like you finally got your innocence a decent form." He said calmly.

"Huh…?"

"But still, you're all beaten up…" he offered his hand to Allen, which basically he never done in his entire life. "Here…"

Allen can only stare at his gloved arm with shock. "HUH? Ah-y-yes I'm sor—" Without any moment to hesitate, Cross grab Allen by his collar with force. "—ry?" and throw him across with one move, causing Allen to land on his head.

"You filthy idiot apprentice…" he referred to Allen and then, he turned his head to Lavi direction. "Hey, you're filthy too, get the hell away from me. I'll let beautiful people near me, like Arisa, but filthy people can stay the hell back…" his eyes are sparkling with confidence while Lavi sweat dropped.

"That's a terrible thing to say….."

Cross shifted his gaze to where Akira lay. The bleeding on her head stopped but she's surrounded by a pool of blood. Bruises are located almost anywhere on her body, obviously caused by the debris which falls onto her. His frowned deepen as he stared at her. He walked and stood by her side, kneeling. He cupped her cheek with her arm, while brushing the blood from her mouth with his thumb. "Tch…" he quickly grab Akira by her shoulder and shook her eagerly. "Wake up you stupid apprentice!"

Both Allen and Lavi jaw dropped and they sweat dropped. 'Didn't he said that she was an exception?!'They thought in unison.

Akira opened her eyes and the first thing she saw is Cross' mask and his red hair. 'This hair…it looks very familiar…just who…' and then she shifted her gaze at Cross' face. Her eyes widened in surprise and she screamed as loud as she can while she punches Cross' jaw until he fly and fall again on his own head.

"CROSS!" She grabbed his leg with only one arm and pulled him from the ground. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE?!"

Cross' jaw is releasing steam from Akira's punch. He scoffed and put on his perverted smile back to his face. "To save my beautiful apprentice, of course." Allen, Lavi and Akira all have disgusted look plastered on their face.

Akira kicks him as far as she can. "I'M NOT ARISA! YOU PERVERTED GENERAL! YOU STAINED ME WITH INNOCENCE!" Allen had never seen someone kick or punch his Master's face even, if he had the urge to punch him, he hold himself. Suddenly, fire run through Akira's body, but she wasn't burned physically. She felt the pain of burning, running throughout her body, wildly. "You…What did you just do?" She said to Cross before she fall back on her knees.

In a matter of seconds, Tyki pulled her into his arms while choking her. "EG-EGSOR-SISD…"

Cross lazily stood up to face Tyki. "Tch, consumed by the Noah, huh? You're staining the Clan's name, you know? And to use a pretty girl as bait, how low…" The chains around his coffin are moving and revealed the shape of a woman. "Grave of Maria, Magdala curtain. Judgment." He quickly raised his gun to shot Tyki. Clearly, from Allen's point of view, this battle is one sided. Just from the power of the bullets, Tyki quickly fall back on his knees.

"Arisa!" Cross' screamed.

In the speed of light, Arisa's body turned to release herself from Tyki's grip. "Innocence, second awakening." She gripped her sword and flew back in front of Tyki to cut him in half, Tyki manage to shield himself. "Duplication." Arisa said, a matrix like form is forming from behind her, revealing another one of her with the same physical body. The only difference is that her hair is black and her eyes are red. The other Arisa wield the same black blade she used before.

"Eh. Two Arisa…It's impossible." Allen stared at them with widened eyes.

"ATTACK!" Arisa ordered. She flew to his back and stabbed him. But it was no use. Tyki grabbed black Arisa's neck. In a matter of time, Arisa stabbed him again, with her white sword. "Purification."

Tyki screamed wildly while the floor below them began to crumble. Just behind Tyki, Millennium Earl stands, destroying the place with merely his presence. He grabbed Arisa by the neck and her power disappears like dust. Lavi and Chaoji fall from the building before Allen can save them. The Earl can only put his big smile on his face while Cross stared at him. "Yo, like always, a flashy entrance." Cross' said with a smile.

The urge to kill the Earl washed Allen's clear mind in an instant. He quickly reached for the Earl with his sword, causing two waves of air crashed.

The eyes of hatred, one thing that Arisa learned from Allen. Never fight the Earl with Hatred. This is her resolve.

IMMA SO SORRY! I know this is a shitty chapter TTATT Please forgive me! I know I can do better than this DX... With you reviewing, I can feel a lot better :D
