* On the Boat. *
Allen, who stood atop the main topmast of―Black Order supporter―Anita's ship, watches in horror as countless Akuma fly towards them. Then, Allen looks down at the crew and begins to alert them.
"EVERYONE! AKUMA ARE COMING!" Allen shouts.
Everyone faces the direction in where the Akuma are swarming from and their eyes widen.
"SO MANY!" Anita exclaims.
"THEY'RE AFTER US!" One of the crew member screams in terror.
"PREPARE FOR AN AMBUSH!" Mahoja ordered. "ALL HANDS, GRAB A WEAPON!"
"UUUH," Krory groans in pain as his teeth begins to sharpen. "My teeth ache..."
INNOCENCE ACTIVATE! The Exorcists says.
The Exorcists quickly prepare for battle, a few Akuma getting destroyed as it comes into reach, but the group stops when those who survived fly past them.
"What...?" Allen asks as he watches the swarm.
"What are they doing?" Lavi asks. "They're passing over the ship...!?"
"Why?" Lacie says as she looks around in confusion.
"UHG!" Allen grunts as he is snatched up by an Akuma.
Lacie turns around and her eyes widen. "Allen!"
"Well, look what we have here!" Wasp (Akuma) exclaims in ecstatically. "It's an Exorcist! I figured as much from all the black he's wearing."
"Really! You got good eyes!" No Eyes (Akuma) remarks. "It isn't our job to catch him! Throw him aside!"
Wasp chuckles. "Don't be so harsh. Maybe you envy my chance to kill this guy?"
"Let me take his right side!" No eyes shouts as it realizes why Wasp caught Allen.
"No way!" Wasp refuses.
Wasp and No Eyes begins to squabble about who gets to kill Allen.
From the boat, Lavi notices that Allen has been caught.
"ALLEN!" Lavi shouts, then commands Big Hammer, Little Hammer to grow.
"AAAAH!" Butterfly (Akuma) appears behind Lavi. "ANOTHER EXORCIST IS HERE!"
"What is it?" Bee (Akuma) asks as itself, and some other Akuma, surrounds Lavi.
"OH, AWESOME!" Mask (Akuma) says in excitement. It then looks down at the boat, finding Anita ― who quickly looks up at Mask in surprise. "There's a human here!"
Mask dives down for Anita, but she fends off Mask with a talisman.
"Don't underestimate me!" Anita says.
"YOU BASTAAAAAAARD!" Mask shouts in anger as it charges at the talisman's barrier. "THAT SEAL COULD ONLY STOP A LEVEL TWO!"
"AND IT ALSO LEAVES YOU OPEN FROM THE BACK!" Creepy Baby (Akuma) adds as it appears a few feet behind Anita.
Barely making it, Mahoja saves Anita by kicking Creepy Baby away. The burly woman stands behind her Mistress, alert for any more Akuma and exhales loudly.
"I won't let you touch the Mistress." Mahoja says as she gets into a combat-like stance.
Both Anita and Mahoja prepares to try to stave off the attacks from Mask and Creepy Baby.
Suddenly, Anita's talisman barrier breaks.
"DIE, HUMAN!" The two Akuma screams.
* In the Harbor. *
"This is...!" Lenalee says as she looks up and watches in horror as the swarm of Akuma fly overhead. "What a swarm... Where in the world are they going...!?"
Lenalee's eyes widen as she is suddenly hit by Timcampy.
"Timcampy!" Lenalee calls. "You surprised me! What is it? Why..."
"Lenalee!" Lacie calls as she lands on the ground in front of Lenalee.
"Lacie? What―"
Before Lenalee could ask her question, Timcampy uses its small hands to point up at the sky. Lenalee looks to where Timcampy was pointing to and her eyes widened when she realizes who the golem was pointing at.
"GYAHN!" Wasp cries as it's destroyed.
"DESTROY THIS GOD DAMN EXORCI- AAH!" Centipede (Akuma) yells.
Allen had blasted off a few of its "legs" with Cross Beta. He then destroys Centipede and just as he attempts to destroy more Akuma, he ends up wrapped in Slime's (Akuma) grasp.
"Ugh..." Allen groans as Slime's grip tightens.
"Heh heh heh... Don't think I'll let you go. You're mine now!" Slime says. "KILL..."
Just as Allen was about to be crushed to death, Lenalee arrives and saves him.
Slime is then destroyed by Lenalee's Dark Boots and Allen falls.
"ALLEN!" Lenalee calls and extends her hand to Allen. The two lock hands in midair.
Suddenly, the sound of rumbling startles the two Exorcists.
"IT HAS EMERGED!" An Akuma shouts from the swarm.
Off to the side, a giant form appears.
The Exorcists, both on ground and in the air, looks over to see a giant headless, armless torso.
"What is that...!?" Allen asks out loud.
"GOOO―! KILL IT!" An Akuma shouts as the swarm charges at the giant form.
Lenalee and Allen are caught up in their charge which causes them to loosen their grip on each other.
"Ah..." Allen says as he falls. "LENALEE!"
Lenalee turns her back to the giant torso-like form and releases her Dark Boot's special ability.
Innocence: Level Two ―Keirui― Onkyou no Tougi: Otokase! (Burden, Acoustic Technique: Sound Shackles)
Sound is made by surges in the air― using the surges of air as a foundation is the basis of 'Otokase'.
TO REACH THE SPEED OF SOUND!
Lenalee appears in front of Allen and takes his hand. She then takes them to safety.
"You... You're fast, Lenalee." Allen remarks as he faces Lenalee. "Sorry," he apologizes, "are you all right?"
"Yeah." Lenalee replies with a smile. "But..."
Suddenly, sounds of an attack echoes throughout the surrounding area.
Lenalee and Allen turns and faces the giant form. Their eyes widens in disbelief as they watch the swarm of Akumas attacking giant torso-like form.
"It's being attacked...!?" Allen points out. "It can't be! The Akuma came to attack that white thing...!?"
"THAT'S..." Lenalee exclaims as she sees an upper body―of someone she knows―sticking out of the giant form's chest. "Suman...!?"
"Fallen into the fall again..."
"Ah..." The female Exorcist says as she covers her ears with her hands.
Suddenly, Lenalee screams and she falls to her knees. Allen turns his attention onto her and calls out her name.
At the same time, Lacie comes running towards them with Timcampy at her side. Her eyes widens as she sees the state Lenalee is in.
"Lenalee? Hey, Lenalee!?" Allen calls as he reaches for Lenalee.
When Allen's hand came into contact with Lenalee's hands, the terrified Exorcist's screams ceases.
"Lenalee...?" Lacie calls as she kneels down on the ground. "Are you all right?"
No response.
Allen and Lacie exchange glances. Then they turned their attention back onto Lenalee when she begins to speak.
"Fallen into The Fall..." Lenalee mumbles. "Fail... to become... a disciple..."
"Fallen into The Fall...?" Lacie repeats in confusion.
"Fallen into The Fall is..." Lenalee begins. "When a person's synchronization rate with the Innocence falls below zero... When a 'Non-Compatible' forces itself to synchronize with the Innocence... It happens... 'The Fall' is the sin of a person who is not a disciple yet tries to synchronize with God... It is now prohibited... But... I've seen experiments at the church. Experiments to make an Exorcist..." She explains as she clenches Allen's sleeves tightly. "That's why I know that figure... But why...?
"If Suman is a Compatible, then why has he fallen into The Fall?" Lenalee asks.
Unforgivable...
... Unforgivable...
To run away...
