Outnumbered
The first, and most powerful blow, had obliterated everything in the immediate vicinity, including the floor. The earl stood on Lero who (wisely) kept its mouth shut. A few metres away, Allen was suspended with 'Clown Belt'. Both adversaries clutched their swords tightly and eyed each other warily, waiting for each other to make the first move.
Not one sound could be heard in the room. The exorcists and akuma were either dead or watching between the earl and the 14th Noah.
Allen licked his dry lips and shouted, "Give it up, Millennium Earl! The plant is damaged and you are in our territory!" True enough, the plant lay at one end, emitting sparks of blue lightning. Cracks had formed along the blue surface.
The earl just laughed nastily and swung his sword in an arc. Allen waited silently, letting his rage build inside him.
The earl suddenly released a ball of purple energy. Allen dodged it and used 'Clown Belt' that wrapped around the earl. The earl exploded the white wraps and jumped forward and swung his sword down onto Allen, to only be met with Allen's own sword.
They struggled for an instant, and then Allen kicked the earl away. Spotting his opportunity, he feinted to the left, before striking his sword in an uppercut that sent the earl spinning away into a nearby pillar.
The earl was glowing purple again as he removed the entire pillar and flung it at Allen so hard, it caught Allen off guard, the pillar smashing him into a wall and out the other side.
Allen, anger suits you well……Allen, anger cannot kill the earl……
He ignored those words and let his rage build up inside him, and then unleashed it. He jumped through the wall, and sliced the earl continuously, not letting the earl a chance to retaliate, before letting loose a devastating blow of black lightning out of his fingertip, blasting the earl into the air. When the earl landed again, he drove his sword into the earl let out an ear-splitting scream before he became still. Allen turned his back and started to walk away.
"Just kidding. Anger cannot kill me…" Before Allen could turn around, the earl quickly drove a purple sphere into him. Allen flew back and landed on his back, too exhausted to move an inch.
The earl stood up and grinned darkly and Allen. He walked forward and raised his sword, preparing for the final blow.
The earl suddenly flew over Allen and landed on the ground, before rolling over and got up again. Allen turned his head and saw the four generals standing together, their innocence activated. General Cross looked down at Allen and roared, "Get up disciple! You did not pay my bills yet!"
Allen forced his body to get up and smiled gratefully at them. Cloud shouted, "Earl! Give up! You're outnumbered!"
The earl snapped his fingers and a hundred of him appeared, surrounding the five generals.
"No. You are."
