And here we go for the 20th chapter! I really hope you'll like it, because I just loved writing that part.
Answer: Once again, depends on who's answering.
Enjoy!
It couldn't be. It was too wrong to be. Summan would never betray us, no matter how much he hated being an Exorcist. He wouldn't betray me!
"Ary, get a grip!"
I snapped my eyes at Allen, and realized that I had been plunged in some sort of denial-trance. Shaking my head, I took a deep breath.
"This Fallen form is God's punishment for those who try, unchosen, to join with him" I said more precisely, voice still shaking. "They don't- they don't do it anymore, though. I saw an- an experiment, conducted at the Headquarters lab a few years back, but they don't do it anymore, so why…"
My voice broke, and I breathed a few times to calm myself.
It was too late. No matter what happened, we couldn't turn back a Fallen One. It just wasn't possible. We were too late.
I was too late.
"Summan… he was a Host, but he was punished" I breathed, my voice bitter. "I don't- I don't know what he did, but no one deserves this, no matter what..."
"What can we do to help him?" Allen asked seriously.
"We can't" I shook my head. "While Lenalee was too scared to search further, I asked Komui about exactly what we witnessed… he gave in after a while, and they stop the experiments years ago, but they were never able to save a Fallen One. We can't-"
There was another scream, roaring even louder than before, and I flinched as bright beams of light shot through the missing arm's spots, head and under-body. It started spinning on itself, creating a massive wave of energy and destroying all of the Akumas in the vicinity.
"S-such power…" whispered Allen. "He destroyed all of the Akumas in an instant…"
But another group arrived, the screams came back and the light blinded us again.
"SHUT UP!" I yelled desperately to the thing. "JUST SHUT THE FUCK UP! FERME LA, BORDEL DE MERDE! PUTAIN, MAIS TAIS TOI! TAIS TOI! TAIS-"
"ARY!"
My head swung a little and my cheek stung. Blinking dumbly, I stared at Allen, whose hand was still in the air.
"Allen?"
"Get a hold of yourself!" he scolded harshly. "Summan is your friend, isn't he? Then let's go save him!"
"But-"
"Because it never happened before doesn't mean it won't work!" he cut. "Are you just going to abandon him to this fate? Because if you do, then I don't think you can really call yourself his friend!"
That struck a cord, and anger burned within my very soul. I loved Summan, just like I loved Lenalee, Komui and all the others.
Those who abandon the mission are scum, but those who abandon their friends are worse than scum.
Gee, thanks, Kakashi.
"As if, Kiddo!" I snapped, getting up. "Any idea?"
He smiled a little in apparent relief, and looked back at the giant source of Innocence.
"It's shooting mindlessly, destroying everything on it's path" he frowned. "It's not good"
"We have to get to the… heart, thingy" I said, my heart finding it's normal rhythm once again. "The body is just a manifestation of his Innocence going berserk. If we can separate the two… there might be a chance"
"Think you can get us up there?" asked the boy.
"You know I can't fly with someone" I shook my head. "But I can try something else. You'll have to hung on tight, though"
He nodded his consent, and jumped to give me a boost. Flying to him, I caught him by his waist and batted my wings harder to keep going up. It was tiring as hell, and really hard to control, but we managed to get to the lower Akumas. There, I jumped on each, giving me a boost up each time and using Angel to go the missing distance. It was dangerous as hell, and really stupid but, in the end, we got to our target.
Taking place on the thorns-like stones sticking out around the heart, I could now clearly see Summan, stuck inside. It was horrible to see, but I gritted my teeth.
"Oi, Old Man!" I called, trying to get his attention. "The hell do you think you're doing, going all berserk on us!?"
Extending my hand to grab him, Allen caught it.
"Wait!" he prompted. "You shouldn't touch anything in that hole"
"It's Innocence, Kiddo" I retorted. "Why would it hurt us? Hey, Summan! Can you hear me?"
Suddenly, another head appeared just above his, a little girl, around Mei-Ling's age.
"Help… me" she pleaded. "Mom…"
She was sucked back in and, without thinking, Allen stuck his arm inside to grab her. He pulled, and managed to get her out. However, at the same time, the liquid-like substance of the heart shot weird tentacles and trapped him, pulling him inside instead.
"Kiddo!"
Extending my hand to grab his, he simply threw the girl at me. I caught her without difficulty.
"Save her!" he ordered.
And he disappeared.
My breath caught in my throat and my head spin.
Did he just… died?
"ALLEN!"
Some sort of vortex formed on the surface of the substance, and I sighed in relief. He might be trapped, but he wouldn't go down so easily. I looked down at the girl in my arms, and frowned. She was hardly breathing.
"You better stay alive, Kiddo" I muttered between my teeth.
Then, cradling the kid in my arms, I took flight towards the village.
"Stay alive" I repeated, taking a deep breath. "Or I swear, I'll kill you"
As the girl was treated in an emergency room back at the port city, I ate as fast as I could to get back some of my energy. If I couldn't fight, I wouldn't be much help.
I shot a look to where our ship was, still under attack. Seeing the explosions, I easily guessed my friends were still alive. Satisfied with that, I then turned back to the mountains, behind which blasts even stronger than before were echoing.
"Innocence: activate!"
And I flew back once again, my guts churning as the feeling of dread from sooner came back, worse.
"I'm coming, Kiddo, please be alive…"
I didn't made it really far, as around thirty or so Level Two surrounded me.
"Get the hell out of my way!" I snarled, destroying three of them in a go.
"Kill her! Kill her!"
"Exorcist!"
"She's alone, get her!"
"As if! Feathered Blades!"
Five others exploded, and I grunted. I couldn't use my Second Level because then, I'd be defenseless and unable to help Allen, Summan and the others. However, I didn't have the time to destroy all of them! I sliced through four others, than another two.
"Cha! Take that, bastards!" I pumped my fist in the air. "And- FUCK! Merde, merde, merde de PUTAIN DE BORDEL DE MERDE! Espèce d'enfoirés!"
I gripped the side of my waist, were I had just been shot. I could already feel Angel nullifying the poison and closing the wound, but it only took more energy than I could afford to give. Panting, I landed on one of the roofs, and took a look at my Innocence. The rust seemed more present than before, if possible, and it was becoming as bad as Allen's arm.
Fast.
"Damn it" I grunted.
There were still sixteen of them, and a plan formed in my mind. A single attack could work, but I had to make I count, and they could very well shoot to death before I could make my move.
There was a flash of light and the ground started shaking. I didn't have any more time to loose. So, using my amazing acting skills, I dramatically fall to the ground in a thud, playing dead.
I know, I know, I'm a genius.
"She's down!"
"Kill her!"
"Wait! All at once, it might be a trap!"
I gulped imperceptibly, and waited. I could feel their oppressing presences all around me, but they weren't close enough…
Now!"
Darting from the ground, I started spinning on myself with my steeled wings spread wide, slicing through the lot of them in a matter of seconds. I landed back on the earth, slightly dizzy, as they all exploded around me.
"Note… to self…" I gagged, an hand on my mouth. "Never do that… again… Urgh... that's why I hate… rollercoasters…"
However, I returned to serious mode when another beam of light pierced the sky, screams echoing in the distance. My eyes widened slightly. There was another village beyond the mountains. Was it attacking?
Bracing myself for whatever sight was about to greet me, I sped towards the explosions. However, as the body finally came into view, I was blinded by another blast and sent crashing into the nearest mount of rocks, and darkness overcame me.
"… et… p…"
I shut my eyes harder.
"G… up…"
No, I don't want to get up. Go away! I'm fine, here. It's warm, and confortable, and I'm so tired…
"GET UP!"
"HOLY FUCK!"
I shot in a sitting position, searching in a hazy haste the source of the voice, in vain. I had crashed on a plateau, and there was no one around. So who…
"Summan!"
Remembering just exactly what had caused me to black out in the first place, I slowly got up, looking around. I mean, how hard would a giant, floating, glowing, headless and armless body would be to spot?
I took a step back as the heavy smell of smoke made it's way to my position, and took a deep breath. The village down there had been utterly destroyed, annihilated. I doubt there were survivors. And where the hell was the stupid Fallen One? It couldn't just disappear like that, unless the Innocence…
"Shit! Innocence: activate!"
The wings seemed heavier than before, but I didn't look, instead focusing on finding a trace of Summan and, hopefully, Allen too.
They had to be alive. They just had to.
A scream echoed, filled with pure pain, and sorrow. I could recognize this voice anywhere.
"ALLEN!"
Flying at the source as fast as I could, I arrived just in time to see a bunch of weird-looking butterflies crashing onto him. Not really thinking, I just in between, spreading my wings as a shield to protect the fallen boy.
They crashed onto my Innocence, and my body shook violently under the vicious attack, and the atrocious agony that ensued.
"God… damn it…" I spat out.
"A…ry?" Allen asked, wide eyes.
"Good to see… you alive too" I breathed out. "What… hap- GAHH!"
Shit, were these butterflies eating my wings?
"Ary!"
"Teez"
The attacks stop, but the pain was still there. However, unable to keep them up, I let my wings drag on the ground, panting harshly. Then, I turned my head to the newcomer. The butterflies had all flew towards him and literally entered his opened palms, before two way bigger got out.
"Oh, they've gotten bigger" remarked casually the man.
"That's just creepy" I grunted, my vision a bit blurry.
"No…ah" spat Allen, kneeling to my right.
"Just fucking great…"
That seemed to get his attention, for he walked out of the shadows. I sized him up, unable to shake off the familiar feeling I felt seeing him.
His own eyes widened in surprise.
"Cheating Boy A!" he exclaimed, apparently stunned. "And if it isn't Milady!"
I glanced at the man next to me while the poor woman stuttered our apologies.
"The lady here already paid for all of them, good sir, and I…"
"It's fine, he can take a few" I assured, handing some over to the gentleman.
"All of them?" he repeated, shooting me a curious look.
"It's for some friends" I shrugged, finishing to put everything in the baskets. "Cheering them up before tonight and all"
"Thank you anyway" he said, putting his apples in his hat. "I'm heading off on quite a long journey, so…"
"Journey? But where are you going to hide?" asked the old lady.
"What do you mean?" he asked back, confused.
"The whole city is on lock down right now" I informed. "There's about to get some… trouble, around these parts. I'd suggest you quickly find a hideout before everything blow out of proportions"
"You seem well informed for such a young lady" he casually remarked.
"I ain't a lady" I waved it off, balancing the baskets on my arms. "But if you really want to know, well… let's just say that I'll be stuck in the middle of it all, so I really need to be informed"
He nodded, and I lifted everything up at once. For a moment, I was about to loose my balance, but he caught me before I even begin to fall.
"Thank you" I beamed at him. "Have a good night ma'am, sir"
I started walking away, balancing the weights of all the full baskets on my arms.
"Wait! What is your name?"
"Uh?" I titled my head his way. "I'm Aryane, Aryane Darkelston. And you?"
"Tyki Mikk" he bowed, then straightened back with a smile. "Hope our paths cross again, Milady!"
I snorted at the title, but simply smiled at him before heading back to the base camp.
My breath hitched.
"Tyki… Mikk" I finally recognized him.
"Oh? Remember me, then, Milady?" he asked with a pleasant smile.
"You know him!?" asked Allen.
"Long story" I huffed, sitting. "And of fucking course he's a Noah. Who knows, maybe those Jasdevi guys I met were Noahs too!"
The damn man blinked.
"They are"
There was a moment of silence.
"You really have to stop jinxing, Ary" mumbled Allen.
"Not-a-word" I gritted my teeth. "What the hell do you want now?"
"Ary… he killed Summan" informed angrily my friend.
At that, my eyes flashed.
"He what?"
"Hey, don't get angry, Milady" he shook his head. "It's kind of my job, you know?"
"Are you the one who killed Daisya Barry, too?" I snapped his way, slowly getting up.
He eyed me, something like amusement shining in his eyes.
"Yes, I do remember that name" he nodded, thinking back. "Still in Barcelona, I think?"
"Good. I've been waiting for you"
Grabbing one of my feathers, I pulled it out and stabbed him in the head with it. He stared at me, a good head and a half taller than I was, with my steeled blade sticking through his crossed forehead.
"The hell!?"
Suddenly, I felt an oppressing presence in my chest, just were my heart was. Looking down, I saw his entire arm piercing me. There wasn't pain, only great discomfort. Then, still smiling, he pulled out my blade from his skull as if it was a daily routine.
"That wasn't very nice, Milady" he grinned.
Then, his smiled turned sharp, and I cough some blood when I felt his hand close around my heart.
"Touching… a woman's chest without… her permission… isn't nice either" I retorted, coughing in between.
"Let her go!"
Allen shot between us and managed to push him away with his left arm. I stumbled into my friend's arms, and breathed harshly. The Noah seemed stunned at how Allen actually touched him and, next thing I knew, I was sent crashing through a tree.
"Ow…" I mumbled, trying to get up.
A foot descended on my head, rubbing it into the dirt, and I bite back a scream as Tyki loomed over me.
"I need to have a little conversation with Cheating Boy A, Milady" he said, smirking. "And I can't have you interfering right now"
"ARY!"
And then, pain was all I knew.
"I need to have a little conversation with Cheating Boy A, Milady" he said, smirking. "And I can't have you interfering right now"
"ARY!"
And suddenly, grabbing her right wing, he ripped off before the white haired teen could even think about moving. The redhead's mouth opened in a silent scream as agony filled her features and her face paled dramatically. The Noah tossed the whole thing carelessly a few meters away, the feathers falling apart as if rotting in place.
Then, the whole forest echoed with the screech of pain of the young girl, as she collapsed on the forest floor, the body shaking with spasms.
No tears leaked out, though, much to Tyki's displeasure.
"Won't you show me your tears?" he asked evilly. "Maybe ripping the other one will make it work better…"
"I-don't" she coughed and her breath hit a high-pitched note. "I don't… cry, you bastard. Never… for the likes… of you…"
"Well, ain't that a disappointment" he sighed, lighting a cigarette. "But I'll come and take care of you later, ne?"
With that, he went sitting next to Allen, who was still kneeling in pain and horror despite the state of his friend.
"As you have seen, my whole body can go trough anything" he said, kind of proud. "This is my power, and it's only on things I decide I don't want to touch. That's why I could pass through Milady's body but touch her heart. I was literally inside of her"
"That… sounded so wrong" she had the galls to snort.
"Ary, not the time" warned Allen between his teeth.
And suddenly, Tyki's fingers were around his heart.
"How do you think it feels… to have you heart ripped out alive?" asked the man, apparently amused by the whole ordeal.
The boy stayed silent.
"Tell me… how does it feel?"
There was a moment of silence, merely interrupted by the sharp gasps of the girl. Then, Tyki's eyes widened as the teen leveled his eyes to his, perfectly calm.
"You don't care, do you?" the Noah sweatdropped heavily at that. "But! I won't rip your heart out. That would get my glove dirty"
"Geez, don't we feel appreciated" grunted the older Exorcist.
"Normally, I just let Teez devour them" added the Noah, ignoring her.
"So comforting" she mumbled.
The girl clenched her fists a little. If Tyki decided to kill them, he could do so in the blink of an eye. She couldn't fight him off with one wing and her body wouldn't even answer to her commands, all control shut down because of the pain.
"Sarcastic little thing, aren't you?" asked Tyki her way, tilting his head in wonder. "I understand better why Road found you interesting too"
"I know, I've got… that effect, on people. Everyone can't help but… love me" she retorted, finally managing to sit against a tree.
"Normally?" asked Allen, bringing back the conversation on tracks.
"Ah, you hadn't heard? Rumors about your friends who died with their internal organs taken out?"
At that, Aryane glared at him.
"Daisya Barry" he smirked her way. "Kazaana Reed, Chakar Rabon. I didn't do that to Summan Dark, though, seeing as he helped me. I simply put a Teez inside of him and made him a breading ground. Thanks to that, I got a few more. Oh, and pretty sure I got a certain Yeegar Marshall too. Didn't kill him right off, though"
"You sick bastard" spat the girl, apparently more talkative than her companion. "Quand je mettrais mes mains sur toi, je vais te faire payer pour chacune des vies que tu as prises avant de te tuer si horriblement que tu vas me supplier d'en finir, espèce de fils de pute…"
He blinked at her.
"French?"
"How… how dare you…" muttered Allen.
"Eh, what's the matter, Boy?" Tyki turned back to him.
"Everyone…"
"Oh, I get it" the man's smile widened. "You hadn't heard!"
At that, Allen seemed to snap, and pushed him away once more, before trying to hit him. Tyki caught his fist, eyes sharpening at the attack.
"I won't forgive you!" exclaimed angrily the teen.
"Man, didn't think you had that much power left" remarked Tyki, not even flinching when the boy put more strength in his fist.
He then revered the positions, forcing him to kneel while he got up.
"Kiddo!" exclaimed Aryane.
She tried to move, but fall back with a sharp hiss.
"But, as you are now, the both of you…"
There was a sickening crack as he broke the teen's wrist, and the girl looked away, utterly disgusted. Allen howled, collapsing.
"It's too bad, really. If you had met me when I was 'white', I would've wanted to play another round of cards" he sighed, taking out a Joker
When he was white? Repeated Aryane. I never played cards against strangers since months, except whe-
"You mean you're that guy too!?" she exclaimed, annoyed. "How the hell did you pull that off!?"
"Oh, you're brighter than I gave you credit for" he realized with a lazy smile.
"Why is everyone always acting so surprise… not the point! Since when have you been following us?" she clenched her fists.
"I never did" he shook his head. "All of our encounters were pure coincidences. However, I've been travelling around for some time, now, killing anyone involved with a certain man"
The card in his hands stopped spinning on itself, and he smiled at the boy.
"Are you Allen Walker?"
Silence ensued.
This is horrible, thought Allen, his hand shaking. I can't even stand up now, let alone move. Ary is in a worst shape too, she won't be able too fight with a missing wing… If I was stronger…
Annoyed by the lack of response, Tyki roughly grabbed his neck and lifted him from the ground.
"Answer me" he ordered. "Are you Allen Walker?"
"That is correct…" chanted a weird little voice coming from the card. "This person is Allen Walker… delete… delete…"
"This is Cell Roron" briefly explained the Noah. "He's called the prisoner of the List Cell. He's told me who you are. You are my target"
A blinding light illuminated the clearing as a crackling sound and a scream resonated in the background.
"ALLEN!" Aryane tried to go to his aid, but her legs gave up before she could even make a step, sending her rolling in the dust.
"Let's start with that Innocence of yours" smirked Tyki.
"STOP IT!"
And suddenly, the light turned off, the scream died down, and the arm fell on the ground with a 'THUD'. Pale, Ary wanted to throw up as Allen didn't answer to the outer world anymore. Had he been in the same pain as she had been sooner?n God, she hoped not. She wouldn't wish it on anyone.
Well, except Tyki. And Lulubell. And Road. And the Millennium Earl.
Anyway.
"You know what, Boy? We, Noahs, can destroy Innocence" Tyki affirmed, walking to the limb. "I've destroyed every Innocence fragment I've gathered so far. If one of them was the Heart, than that would all the fragments in the world. That's how we'd know if it was the one. Now then, what about your Innocence?"
He looked back to the teen, near which was laying another fragment.
"That's Summan's Innocence, right?" he asked. "And there's yours too, Milady, still in your other wing… If I destroyed one of them, and the other two disappeared too, then it would mean it was the Heart"
"Don't you fucking dare, Mikk" she spat, struggling to make her way to him.
"Oh? And who's going to stop me?" he grinned madly at that, his hand crackling again.
"DON'T!"
But she didn't make it in time. There was a flash of light once again, and the Innocence turned to mere dust in his deadly grip while he laughed like a madman.
"So, was it the Heart?" he asked, apparently in a good mood.
Instantly, she snapped her eyes to Summan's Innocence and, even if it was selfish, she couldn't help but sigh in relief.
"Darn, guess not. But well, my mission this time was assassination, nothing else"
She swallowed the bile in her throat at that. Assassination? Wait, didn't he say Allen was his target? But that meant…
"You won't lay one of your dirty finger on him" she assured, her voice sounding more confident than she really was.
"A…ry"
"Stay down, Kiddo, and let me handle the bastard" she seethed, placing herself between the two.
It was a truly pitiful sight, with the girl barely able to stand up, one of her wings not even five meters away and the other one rotting while still attached, her limbs shaking under the mere effort it took her to even move.
"Delete, delete, delete, delete, delete!" chanted the Cell Roron.
"Hai, hai, I'm on it" Tyki rolled his eyes, fully turning to face her.
She looked down at her friend, worried, and not exactly believing that they'd make it out alive this time. Then, she saw Timcanpy, and exchanged a look with her friend. Both knew their end of the story was near, but they'd be damn if they let another Innocence be destroyed.
"Timcanpy… run" ordered breathlessly the boy. "Take Summan's Innocence… and bring it back to the others…"
The little golden Golem refused, and the girl clenched her fists.
"Just go!" she snapped. "And end this damn mission once and for all!"
There was a moment of silence, before the flying ball swallowed the Innocence fragment before flying away.
Tyki seemed surprised for a moment.
"Well, that was a smart thing to do" he admitted.
"Of course it was, I'm a genius" I taunted.
My voice was brave, harsh, hardly showing the real fear and yet cold determination swirling inside of me. However, Tyki seemed more amused than anything else.
"I can guess what you were thinking when sending that Golem away" he said, advancing slowly towards us: I'm done for, but I need to at least sent the Golem to my friends. You've prepared yourself to die, didn't you?"
"I won't just let you kill him!" I assured, ready to strike.
He was now just in front of me. However, before I could even think about moving, he had shoved me aside and literally stuck my entire arm into another tree, using his ability to trap me there.
"Fuck!"
I tried to free myself, but the bark had reformed all around, rending me unable to get away.
"You see, Milady" he picked up his hat. "I'd kill you, really, but seeing as you're someone else's target, I'm not allowed too. So, instead, you'll sit there like a good girl and watch me kill your friend!"
"You fucking asshole! Don't touch him!" I struggled, ripping my skin over the bark.
His smirk simply widened as some sunrays fall onto the clearing. He kneeled next to Allen, and I struggled harder. There was a distant 'CRACK' and I gasped as sharp pain washed over me once again.
I broke my arm.
"Now, pray to your God, if you'd like, Boy" said Tyki, looming over my friend without even sparing me a glance. "But he isn't there. Teez"
"No! Don't do it! Allen, move, damn it!" I yelled, trying to get him to do something.
I was ready to die here with him, but surviving and going back to the others with his corpse on my back? I wouldn't be able to do it. Call me selfish, call me despicable, but I couldn't live while he died here. It just wasn't fair.
"Don't eat him" said Tyki, placing the butterfly on my friend's chest. "Just pierce a hole in his heart"
"STOP IT!"
My bone cracked even louder as my blood smeared on the tree and the ground, but I couldn't care less right now.
"I feel like I should give courageous people like you some time before they die" announced Tyki, an insane glint in his eyes. "The blood will flow from your heart, your body will fill with terror, and you'll die, suffering all along the way"
In one swift movement, Tyki pierced him from side to side, and Allen arched his back, spitting blood.
"ALLEN!"
The tree finally gave in as I managed to rip my limb out, and I propelled myself at the Noah, anger blinding my judgment. He caught me by the throat without even looking, and slowly stood up as I choked in his vice-like grip.
"Oh? Ready to shed some tears, now?" he asked viciously.
"Like… hell!"
And, believe it or not, but I managed to hit him square in the face. He stumbled, but his hold only tightened. Black spots danced in my vision, the corpse of my white haired friend in the corner of my eye, and I started laughing hysterically.
"That's… for Daisya!" I spat, wheezing a little. "Had a bet to… honor…"
"That actually hurt, Milady" he frowned. "I keep underestimating you and your friends, which is quite annoying. And I can't kill you either, because Jasdevi would have my head"
"You me-mean… I'm these… moron's tar-target?" my voice sounded oddly high-pitched.
"Correct" he admitted, shrugging. "But I want to make them run some more, so I won't snitch on you right away. Guess I'll see you around then, Milady!"
He dropped me on the ground, and something snapped around my neck. Not really paying attention, I coughed as the air suddenly filled my lungs once more. After finally calming down my heartbeat, I realized he wasn't there anymore.
"A… Allen!"
Turning to the boy, I crawled my way to his side, noticing for a second the missing button on his coat.
Okay, so not the time for fashion sense.
Placing my head on his chest in one last surge of hope, I had to come to an understanding.
Allen... Allen was dead.
Choking down a sob, my eyes stayed stubbornly dry as I buried my head on his chest, not even a drop of blood tainting his coat. After a few minutes, footsteps were heard, and I froze in place, afraid Tyki had come back. At the same time, though, a weird noise made itself heard.
Th-ump
"Hey!"
I frowned a little, forgetting all about the newcomer, and listened closer.
T-hump.
It was so faint, so distant…
"Are you two okay?"
Thump.
I felt my heartbeat fasten as I realized it came from Allen's chest.
"Are you two Exorcists?"
Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump. Thump.
"Help him!" I cried at the woman who just appeared by my sides. "He's still alive, please help him!"
She frowned, but nodded nowadays, and lifted him up on her back. We started moving, slowly.
"Are you with the Black Order?" I asked hopefully.
"Asian Branch" she confirmed. "We're not too far from Headquarters. Are you injured too?"
For only answer, I showed what was left of my Innocence. Her eyes widened slightly, and she nodded stiffly.
"Can you walk?"
"Lead the way" I simply ordered. " If I fall, he's the priority"
"Got it"
We walked for what seemed like hours, and I could feel my body giving in more and more at each step. There were still no signs of Headquarters, but the woman seemed to know where she was going.
After another minute, I couldn't take it anymore, and let myself slipped to the ground. She turned to me, alarmed.
"Take… him…" I repeated.
I'm so tired… Sleep… yeah, sleeping sounds good…
So, that was one of the longest chapter for now, and I really hope you liked it. Also, you have to understand: Ary was weak, yes, but only because her Innocence had already began detaching itself from her, a lot like Allen but really not the same -you'll understand in later chapters. Also, the reason why her Innocence didn't disapear is merely because it hid in the wing that was left, and that's that.
French traduction:"Shut up, fucking hell! SHUT UP, SHUT UP, SHUT-"
"When I'll get my hands on you, I'll make you pay for each life you took before killing you so horribly that you'll beg for me to end it, you son of a bitch..."
Question:Can anyone tell me how Allen never understood that Tyki was the guy form the train? I mean, seriously: he's the only once calling him 'Cheating Boy A', whatever that's supposed to mean.
REVIEWS!
