Chapter 9- the resurrection of the black bird
A/n: I am very sorry about the late. This chapter was the longest I did for the series and that's why I took a while to finish it. Anyway, I hope you enjoy the chapter.

Allen found herself back in her inner mind. She wondered why she was there. Then, she heard a sound; it was a piano being played. She followed the sound until she found the source of the melody. She looked surprised to see a beautiful woman with a long raven hair playing a majestic piano with a man sitting beside her, only hearing the beautiful melody the girl was playing.
"That's a very beautiful melody, my dear." The strange man said.
"Thank you, duke. Do you think the other nobles will like it?" the girl asked in a worried tone " I mean, I am just a musician girl from a circus family."
The man took her chin and gave her a soft kiss on her lips. The girl blushed in surprise.
"I don't know about the other nobles, but I definitely loved your melody, my dear Lilith."
"Thank you, Adam."
Allen blinked in confusion. That girl was Lilith? If that was Lilith, that means the man beside her who she had called Adam was none other then the Millennium Earl in his human form!

Allen woke up. She was in her hawk form and on Tyki's arm. Tyki noticed his lover had woke up and stroked her head. Allen was a bit worried. Why did she see Earl and Lilith together? Ever since Allen found Lilith's existence within her, she never knew what her relationship with the Millennium Earl was. The bird sighted as she tries to forget about Lilith for now since they are very close to breaking the curse and having their child back.
"So Tyki, what will you do when you two break the curse?" Lavi asked suddenly, trying to make a conversation with the Noah. The Noah of Pleasure blinked confused.
"Why do you want to know?" he asked.
"Well, we're going to be involved with you guys for a while. And I am kind of curious to know what will be your plans once this is over."
Tyki was quiet for a while. He never thought about what to do once this whole curse thing was over. He was only focused on breaking the curse and get their child back. He never thought about the future after the curse.
"I guess we just want live our lives, without being involved in this war between Noah and Innocence. We just want to be happy together." Tyki said before he continued. "And also I will be having many rounds with my Allen-chan in the bedroom. We haven't had sex since our wedding night."
The exorcists sweetdropped as Lady Hawke peaked Tyki's head for his perverted comment. Of course she missed Tyki's touch but there's no need to admit this loud.

The search for Eve was still on. The twins were still looking for the little child along with the other Noah. It was frustrating because they still can't feel Eve's presence with their bounds ability.
"Eve-chan…. where are you?" sniffed Jasdero.
Devit was quiet. Just like his younger twin, he was also frustrated and tired. Though they helped Millennium Earl to get Eve from her parents right after the birth, the Noah twins kinda formed a strong bound with the small child.
*Flashback*
"Hun, why did you bring a puppy, Millienie?" asked Road as she noticed the small puppy wolf in the Earl's arms.
"That's not any puppy, dear Road." Millennium earl said. "This is Tyki's child with that exorcist girl."
"What?"
All the Noah present in the Kamelot Mansion cried in surprised. Not one of them would expect that Tyki's child would get his curse too. Sheril softly took the puppy child from Earl's arms and looked sadly at the small being. He was sad that his brother's child also had their curse, and much more sad that Earl took the child away from its parents. When the sun had entered in the room, Sheril's blinked in surprise as the puppy wolf glowed and became a small baby girl with gingered hair. The others were surprised with the transformation.
"Oh, I see we got a beautiful baby girl." Millennium Earl said joyfully. "Now all we need is a name for this little one, any suggestions?"
"Eve." Devit said suddenly
The Noah blinked as they turned to the twins.
"We kinda like Eve. We think it fits her." Jasdero said to the Noah present in the room.
Needless to say the others were surprise. They knew the twins like to make chaos and loved pulling pranks on other people and even on some of the Noah, and having bad habits, they are actually surprise that they came up with a simple name for the child. Millennium earl chucked. He knew why the twin suggested the name but yet he liked it.
"Very well, from now on this little one will be Eve. Eve of the Noah Clan."
*End of Flashback*
Devit and Jasdero almost forgot; they were the ones who named the little girl and since then, they created a strong bond with her, making her their little baby sister, though Sheril had become Eve's guardian. The Noahs of bounds will do everything to have their baby sister back.
"Hey, Jasdero, let's go to find Tyki and his bird."
Jasdero blinked confused.
"Tyki? But aren't we after Cross?"
"Did you forget? Cross' apprentice is Eve's mother. If we get his apprentice as a hostage we will get Eve-chan back."

It was almost night when the group arrived at the cost, where they would go to an astronomical institute. Since it was almost dark, they decided to wait for Allen being in her human form to go to the institute. Allen was wearing a long red skirt, roman sandals, and a light white shirt with a long sleeved jacked to over her arms.
Lavi wasn't sure about bringing Tyki along to the astronomical institute since everybody would be scared of a wolf in the size of a horse, but Allen said it was ok as long as she says that Tyki was her pet and he would not attack anyone, unless he felt Allen was being threatened. When they arrived at the astronomical institute, they knocked on the door a few times but no one was responding.
"Weird, no body's home?" Lenalee wondered.
"The lights are on. There's must be someone in there." Kanda commented
When Allen touched the door handle, the door opened, showing it was unlocked. When the door was completely open, the group gasped in horror; there were thousands of piles of paper in the whole room. The exorcists sweetdropped, they never thought they would see the day where they would find a room worse than Komui's office. TYki's ear caught a muffed sound.
"Arf?"
"What is it, Tyki?"
Then, the group heard a muffed sound under a pile of papers.
"H-help…"
"THERE'S SOMEONE BURRIED UNDER THE PAPERS!" Lavi shouted.
Quickly they stared to dig the poor soul out of the papers. When they finished, they dug out a woman around her late 20's. She had a long red hair, green eyes and a pair of glasses on her face. She was wearing the white jacket the people of the science branch usually used.
"Thank you, you really saved me!"
When Lavi saw her pretty face, hearts formed in his eyes as he blushed.
"Strike!"
The red haired woman blinked confused as Kanda slapped his head, to cool off his pervert nature. Lenalee, Allen and Tyki sweetdropped.
"Sorry about that" Allen apologized. "May I ask why were you under of those papers?"
"I am really embarrassed." She said as she blushed in shame "I was trying to clean the office for Professor Hawkins when suddenly a pile of papers fall above me." That's when she started to cry. " I was trapped under there for the whole day!"
The group sweetdropped as the woman started to cry a waterfall of tears. Lenalee patted the woman's back with some sympathy. She knew what she went trough. Once she was trapped under a pile of papers herself when she tried to clean her brother's office.
"There, there, miss…."
"oh, my bad. My name is Natasha Summers; Professor Hawkins assistant. What bought you to our astronomical institute? It's rare to have visitors at this hour."
"Well you see." Stared Allen to the red haired woman. "We're on a little mission and it's important for us to know when will be the next solar eclipse."
"Solar eclipse?" asked Natasha in wonder.
"Yes, that's right. Do you know when will be the next eclipse?" this time Lavi asked.
Natasha thought for a moment before going to a pile of papers. After throwing several sheets of paper, she finally found what she was looking for. She happily showed the paper to the visitors.
"From what its written here, the solar eclipse will be in five days, around midday, staring tomorrow."
The group stared at the paper. They finally found out they have five days before the solar eclipse. Allen looked at the notes in the paper before looking at Tyki. She was now nervous. They only have five days to plan everything ; to be in the human form in the Earl's presence. Tyki nodded to her, knowing her concern. They only have one chance to finish this once for all. Suddenly the lights turned off.
"Hun, what happened to the lights?" Natasha asked in wonder.
Then, they heard some giggling as a stream of light turned on and the group saw two figures sitting on the top of the telescope. One of them had long blond hair, which left them wondering if it's a boy or a girl. The dark haired one is definitely a male.
"To infest the world with devastation."
"To crush all people from all nations."
"To denounce the evils of truth and love!"
"To extend our reach to the stars above!"
"Jasdero!"
"Devit!"
"Together we're Jasdevit! Blasting off at the speed of light!"
"Surrender now or prepare to fight!"
"Yeah! That's right!"
After that was said, the assistant and the exorcists just stood there with blank faces for a few seconds before Kanda broke the silence.
"Who are the weirdo idiots?"
"Hey! Who are you calling weirdo idiots?" the twins shouted in union at Kanda.
"Anyone with a motto like this one deserves to be called weirdo idiots." Kanda said to them,
"Needless to say this motto came from a comic book." Natasha commented as Lavi and Lenalee agreed.
"Hey!" shouted Jasdero and Devit in union.
Allen stood in the front of Kanda as Tyki was growling at them. For the first time since they meet her, they could see coldness in her eyes, which sent some shills to their spines.
"What are you doing here, Jasdevit?" Allen asked in the cold voice. Images of the twins with Millennium Earl replayed in her mind; the day where they took her child away from her.
"Nothing personal, princess but we come for you." Davit said smirking
"Yep, that's right. Now be a good girl and come with us peacefully." Jasdero said to them.
Allen's anger raised as she actives her innocence. "Like hell I will!" she shouted as she attacks them. She activated her innocence and charged at the twins.
Crash!
The twins moved out of the way fast as Allen's clawed hand hit the telescope, which made Natasha freak out.
"WHATCH WHAT THE HECK YOU'RE DOING! THAT'S AN EXPENCIVE TELESCOPE!"
In a normal situation Allen wouldn care about expensive stuff, but now her mind was in a rage mode. All she wants is to beat those twins for taking away her child after the childbirth. Jasdero and Devit jumped away before Allen's claws hit them.
"Wow, the princess got an upgraded arm." Said Devit in surprise since he remembers they had ripped off her arm that night.
"hih needless to say she's faster." Jasdero commented.
But what the twins didn't expected was Tyki attacking them from behind. Devit's eyes widen in horror when he saw TYki biting Jasdero on his shoulder.
"Jasdero!"
Jasdero puts his hand on his wounded shoulder while Devit was supporting him. Tyki was beside Allen, still growling at them.
"Tyki, you bastard! You really meant it when you said you would attack anyone, even your family to protect your bitch?" Devit shouted at Tyki.
Tyki only growled in response as blood drips were falling from his fangs. Allen only glared at the twins. The twins adopted grins on their faces as they fired a giant fire ball. Allen was about to strike when Kanda and lavi jumped in the front of her and with their weapons, sending the fire ball back. The twins quickly vanished the fire ball before it could hit them.
"Don't forget we're also here." Kanda muttered,.
"What's the deal?" Allen asked in the cold voice.
"Like it or not Allen-chan, we're involved into this. " Lavi said "and we will stay with you until you break the curse."
"And what's your deal?" Kanda asked in cold voice " as soon you saw those weirdo idiots, you acted like you wanted kill them."
"And I do." Allen admitted with a cold voice "Krory told you about my child being taken away, didn't he? Those two helped Millennium Earl that night"
Now the exorcists understood why Allen was out of her usual character. Those two were the ones along with the Earl who took her child away. No wonder she is furious.
"But there's something I am confused about." Allen commented. "After you and Millennium Earl took our child away, Earl made a deal with us; we would have our child back when we break our curse by ourselves. Until then, he gave me his word that no Noah would attack us. So why now ?"
Devit gritted his teeth as he glared at Allen before he answered.
"That deal was over when that bastard Cross broke into our house!"
"Yeah! And he kidnapped Eve!"
Tyki and Allen's eyes widen in shock. They had no idea that Cross would have taken their child away from the Clan. They now are even more worried about their child safety, though Allen did not trust Millennium Earl, she and Tyki weren't worried about her safety since they knew the other members of the Noah Clan would take care of her. Especially Sheril since Eve's his niece. Allen gritted her teeth, cursing her master for messing with things when they just discovered a way to break the curse.
"We will take you to have our baby sister back! And also…." Stared Devit as Jasdero took out from his pocket a block of notes before they shouting together.
"Making you and Cross pay all those debts that red haired bastard put our names on!"
Everything went deadly silent as everyone sweetdropped. They couldn't believe what they heard. Debts? What the heck were they talking about?
"That bastard Cross! He's really as bad as the devil! Even before he kidnapped Eve, we were ordered to finish him off but…..!" Devit gritted his teeth as he remembered all the fails they went throughs to find Cross.
"Everywhere we go, that bastard puts the name of Jasdevit in his debits!" whinnied Jasdero "more than 100 guineus!"
The twins sobbed together as the others were too shocked to say anything. They knew Cross was troublesome from what they had read from the reports and also from Allen's side, but they never could have imagined that Cross would be cruel enough to put his debits on the enemies.
"No wonder they are mad….."Lavi muttered with a sweetdrop on his head.
"Putting debts on the names of the enemies…." Lenalee muttered. "Not even my brother is that cruel…."
"What a bunch of idiots." Kanda muttered darkly, nodding in shame.
"I dunno if I should feel pity on them or not." Commented Natasha
Tyki only could put his paw on his face, nodding in shame. He knew the twins were not the most brilliant between the awaken Noah, but it was too much for him. The group turned around and saw Allen on her knees, with a big rock on her head, writing debts on it. She was muttering darkly and quivering.
"debts…de-debits….."
Allen was affected by word debts.
"IICKS! Allen-chan, talk to me!' shouted Lavi in panic.
The group gasped in shock when a dark aura surrounded Allen as horns came out of her head, breaking the heavy stone on her head. The group was now scared. Dark Allen is back!
"All this mess because of some 100 guineus? That's just pocket change! "She growled angrily as she gave a deadly glare at the twins. "I can understand you're mad at Cross for taking Eve! But I am not involved in this! I would rather my child still be under Sheril's care than my master's! You have any idea how bad influence my master is! Especially for a small child like Eve?" she shouted at the twins. "My master is not like the devil. He's the devil himself!"
There was another pregnant silence in the room. The exorcists were a little embarrassed with Allen admitting the Noah who was taking care of their child had more morals than Cross himself. They can't really blame her since Cross is a totally womanizer.
"Don't mess with us!" shouted Devit and Jasdero together as they pointed their guns at the group "purple bullet!"
Then, something covers their eyes; It was something like a goo. They tried to remove it but it seems to be impossible. They gasped when there's no sight of the twins and the institute room changed, with balls flouting in the air.
"Hah! Try to get us now, losers!" shouted Devit.
"Yeah! Try to caught us!"
(A/n: sorry, like I said in the last chapter I really suck in fight scenes. It similar how happened in the anime/manga. Except Kanda is in there and not krory.)
Kanda and Allen shouted together as they punched Jasdero and Devit together in the faces. They puffed as they finally hit the Noah twins.
"Hey Moyashi, why didn't you use your left hand?" Kanda asked
"My name is Allen. And I couldn't use my left hand because of my claws."
Suddenly they felt the atmosphere becoming heavy as Jasdero and Devit got up, very pissed. Allen gritted her teeth. They were now finally serious. She warned to Kanda, Lenalee and Lavi to be more careful because the real fight was about to start. Then, the twins started to sing as they pointed theirs guns to each other's head.
" yurikago wa hitotsu atta
yurikago ni hitotsu atta
hitotsu wa futatsu natta
yurikago wa hitotsu tiri ni magirete
hoshi hitotsu hakabade yurete
kyetekuyoo"
The exorcist gasped in horror as they saw the twins open fire on each other. Lavi was shocked that they would kill each other until Allen made them see their shadows were fussing as a mist was covering the room. Tyki yelped as an invisible force throw him against the wall as a cage materialized, trapped him inside of it.
"Tyki!" Allen shouted horrified as she saw her lover being trapped inside of a cage. Then, something wrapped around her torso. It was golden hair. She yelped as she was lifted in the hair.
"Allen!" the exorcists shouted as the mist was clearing, revealing a shadow.
"Unlike Tyki representing the pleasure." Devit's voice said
"Unlike Road representing dreams" jasdero's voice said
"We represents the bounds." their voices said in union as the shadow revealed a Noah wearing a long red robe with hearts on his shoulders and sports very long, blond hair with black locks. "Together, we're Jasdevi."
"What the…" stared Lavi horrified with the sight before him.
"Two of them fused into one?" Lenalee exclaimed
Kanda gritted his teeth. He felt the fused Noah was now in a whole different level then when he was two separated beings. Then, an invisible force throw Lenalee and Natasha away. The Chinese Exorcist grabbed Natasha and using her body to protect the woman from the impact of the wall,
"LENALEE!"
"Not even worthy of a playmate," Jasdero scoffed, and then Yu appeared behind him.
"Eight Flowers: Praying Mantis!" a blue blade sliced the Noah's hair. Allen fell as Kanda caught her in his arms. Jasdero now looked pissed.
"NOO! MY Hair!" Then, Lavi jumped in as he used his hammer.
"Fire Seal!" suddenly a snake fire attacked Jasdero and hit him with full force. Jasdero screamed before smirking and giving him a punch. Allen now was in panic. She had no idea that's Jasdevi was that strong when they are united.
"Kanda, get the others out! It's me they want!"
"Do you really think I will let you go with those freaks?" Kanda snapped as he used his sword to cut the hair that was wrapped around her. "Don't forget moyashi, you only have 5 days until the eclipse!"
Allen's eyes widen in pure horror when he saw Jasdero's spike hair stabbing in various places in Kanda's body. Jasdero just laughed as he throws Kanda to the other side of room. His body landed in the front of Tyki's cage.
"Kanda…."she whispered as she saw Kanda's bloody body in the ground. Emotionless. She never meant this to happen. She never meant for anybody to die because of her.
"How about this, princess? Not even your new little friends are a mach for us." Jasdero said smirking. "Now come with us. With you in our power, Cross has to return Eve-chan to us and you will be able to see her once. It's a win win situation."
Allen was paralyzed. She wasn't listening. She only could hear a voice in her head. And the voice wasn't pleased with Allen.
"That's pathetic Allen. I am taking over now."
Then, the Noah of bonds stopped as he felt a wicked aura around Allen. Jasdevi was feeling something that he hasn't had felt since 40 years ago. Cold sweet drops were falling in his face as he felt chills in his spine as the atmosphere went cold and heavy. The exorcists didn't understand what was happening to Allen as a dark aura covered her body. Then, they gasped in horror when they saw Allen's white hair becoming black at the same time her skin became an ash gray color; like a Noah. When Allen raised her face, they could see stigmata marks on her forehead and her silver eyes become golden color. She smirked at the Noah of bounds.
"Hallo there, Bondomu. It's been a while." Allen's voice was deeper and colder, sending chills to everyone in the room.
"It's not possible!" shouted Jasdero in fear "Your supposed to be dead! Millennium Earl-sama killed you years ago!"
"Your suppose to be dead as well since I killed you 40 years ago." She said as she stood up. Then she took a quick look to the exorcists "oh my bad, I didn't introduce myself to your friends, Allen. I am Lilith- the 14th Noah. Its nice to meet you, Allen's friends" She giggled evilly.
The exorcists were quivering in fear. What happened to Allen? And why was her body like of a Noah. They never felt such wicked aura before. Suddenly, the exorcists, the assistant and the wolf Noah found themselves in the woods. Lavi and lenalee couldn't understand what happened.
"W-What happened?" Lenalee asked totally confused. "How did we get here?"
"I dunno, but most importantly, why Allen-chan became a Noah?" then Lavi looked at Tyki who was also quivering, still looking at the institute at the distance. Then, he stared running back there.
"Tyki! Wait!" cried Lenalle as Lavi gritted his teeth,
"Lenalee, stay here with Kanda and Natasha. I will go with Tyki back at the institute."
Lenalle nodded to him.
"Ok, but be careful Lavi. We don't know what possessed Allen like this."
With that, he runs after the wolf Noah, praying it's not too late to help Allen and free her from whatever had possessed her.

"Now the crowed is gone, we can fight without anyone getting in the way." Lilith commented as she puts her hair behind her ear. "I would hate seeing Allen-chan crying for the death for her new friends."
Jasdevi were still quivering in fear. They never felt such fear in a long time. They only felt this type of fear once; when Millennium Earl was mad at them once for not getting Cross years back. But this was a completely different level.
"What's the problem Bondomu? I will stay still; you can attack all you want." Lilith said to Jasdevi, " But I can't say you will be able to hit me with any of your attacks."
"Don't make fools out of us!"
Jasdevi slammed his palm onto the ground to summon spikes, but to his surprise the spikes surrounded Lilith, but not one of them had hit her. Then, the Noah of bounds had materialized a lance and throw it at the 14th Noah. Lilith just smirked as the lance become dust before hitting her.
"Really Bondomu, I thought you could do better than this."
"Shut UP!"
This time, Jasdevi had materialized a giant fireball. Lilith in her turn had summoned a tiny black ball. Then a big explosion happened when the balls had collided, destroying all the building.
Outside of the building, Lavi and Tyki gasped in horror when they saw the institute exploding. They ran even faster.
Back to the destroyed institute, Jasdevi undid the fusion from the impact of the explosion. Laying on the ground was Jasdero and Devit. They could not believe they were defeated that fast. Lilith stood before them.
"You know, I hated you years ago for killing my family at the circus and I hated you even more for making my vessel cry. She almost commented suicide because you stole her child." Lilith said in a cold voice. Devit and Jasdero only looked at her helpless as she summoned a dark blade made of energy, ready to kill the twins.
Suddenly, Lilith gritted her teeth as she felt pain in her left arm. She was holding her left arm in anger as she stared to shout.
"What the hell Allen! Did you forget they caused you pain? They caused pain for both of us!"
Jasdero and Devit eyes widen in surprise as they could hear Allen's voice echoing in their minds.
"I hate them, but they are important to Eve!"
There was a battle for control over Allen's body. Lilith was stepping back because of the pain, but she didn't notice she was going to the edge of the cliff. Tyki and Lavi arrived and the wolf Noah's eyes widen in horror when he saw his beloved had fallen from the edge. TYki rushed to the ledge but he could not see any sign of Allen, only water and waves. He was still staring down as the sun came out, returning him to his human form.
"A-Allen…." Tyki whispered.
He gritted his teeth as he rushed to the twins and grabbed their necks furiously. The twins were having difficulty breathing.
"Give me one reason to not finish what Lilith started." Tyki said darkly. His inner Noah was shouting to kill them now, for taking their beloved away.
"I-I thought you…. Can't remember …the events while you are in the wolf form…." Devit said between the gasps.
"I can't. But I do when Lilith is involved. She modified a little bit my curse; I only remember when she comes out and possesses Allen." Then Tyki let them go. The twins gasped for air as Tyki turned around. "Get out from my sight before I kill you two. You're not worth it!"
Devit helped Jasdero to get up. Before they leave, Devit whispered. "We didn't want her dead." When they left, Lavi turned to Tyki. The Noah of pleasure kept his head low, allowing his bangs to cover his face.
"Tyki…. I …"
"Don't say it." Tyki said as he looked at the bookman Jr. There were tears falling from his eyes " You and your colleges did everything to help us to come this far. I am thankful for this, but you're free to go now." then, Tyki stared to walk off.
"Where you going?"
"Somewhere….. Somewhere where I can be with my Allen on the other side."
With that, Tyki disappeared, leaving the red haired Exorcist behind. Lavi gritted his teeth as he punched the ground with his first. That wasn't supposed to happen!

In an unknown place, Allen in her hawk form opened her eyes. She was feeling cold and week. She noticed she was in a bed, with a blanked covering her, to keep her bird body warm. She wondered where she was before a hand touched her.
"Rest Allen Walker. You need to save your energy." A shadowy figure said.
Allen was confused. Who was that shadow? Then, everything went dark as she fall back to sleep.
To be continued.
Finally the chapter 9 is finished. The next updates might come out a little bit slowly. Anyway, here is a little preview of the next chapter:
XXX
Allen moaned as she stared to open her eyes. Her sight was burry as she blinked a few times before her sigh returned to normal. She noticed she was an unknown room.
"W-where…"
Then, her eyes widen in horror when she remembered her fight with Jasdevi and when Lilith took over her body and almost killed the twins. She also remembered falling of the cliff. She wondered show she was alive.
"Are you awake?"
She turned her head to her left side and she saw a man in the doorway. It was a muscled guy, around his early 30's, he had raven hair, dark ash skin and stigmata marks on his forehead. Allen's eye's widen in surprise when she saw the man before her; it was a Noah.
"w-who are you?"

See ya in the next chapter ^^
