Let me note one point. In my story, Allen has TWO pianos- one he conjured and one in the room of the 14th.

Last Stand

Allen had no time to even think. He was concentrating all his will on just dodging the multiple blows. Even so, he started to get cut here and there. General Cloud's cry shattered his concentration and he turned and looked, only to be stabbed in the back. He gritted his teeth and shouted "CLOWN BELT!" The white wraps only temporarily pushed back the multitude of millennium earls; their swords cut through the obstruction and they continued coming.

He parried another blow and dodged a second. He sliced a millennium earl but was hit by another. Now General Cross's cry rang across the area.

Master! I must save him!

No longer did anger fill him, only sadness and desperation. Instantly, his sword glowed bright blue. Quicker than the eye could follow, he cut through the sword of one earl and pieced another. He sped through the mass of millennium earls, destroying anything he came across until he reached his master.

His eyes widened at the sight before him and time seemed to slow down. General Cross lay on the floor, his cigarette hanging loosely from one mouth. His face was filled with sweat and his torso covered in blood. One hand stretched out, a rune formed at one end. Even as he looked, General Cross started to disappear before his very eyes. "MASTER!!" General Cross turned his head and looked at Allen. He smiled briefly before vanishing completely.

He fell to his knees. Not because of grief. But rather a sword was protruding from his stomach.

Using the last of his strength, he sliced through the earl that had stabbed him. He shoulders slumped and willed the pain to take him away.

Mana walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder. "Well done. You have gone further than I have ever imagined. Now let me help you. This won't be the end of your journey. But you're close……"

The pain dissolved instantly. His feelings of pain and grief were washed away and replaced with calm. He slowly got up and walked briskly to the ark. Just as he was about to enter it, he spotted a millennium earl charging towards him out of the corner of his eye. He spun around and raised a hand. The earl was flung back and hit the wall across the room. He stepped inside the ark and on to the room of the 14th.

He slowly sat on the seat and looked at Timcampy, who was already waiting there. He asked, "Shall we try 'Invincible?'" Timcampy nodded and opened its mouth. A score appeared floating there and 

he studied it for an instant. He then stretched his fingers and began to play, pouring his energy in and humming in delight as he went.

All around in the battlefield, the white army he had assembled put themselves together and started to begin their assault against the earls. But now, there is one difference. Whenever an earl struck one down, it picked itself up and continued attacking.

Slowly, the earls were pushed back and destroyed one by one. The last and true Millennium earl stood there, alone and outnumbered. He grinned and laughed manically before snapping his fingers, causing a large hole, black as night, to appear. He jumped inside. The hole continued spreading, taking Allen's white army with him.

The hole started shrinking, closing up quickly. However, a black hand rose out of the shimmering darkness and grabbed General Sokaro and dragged him in, his slices having no effect whatsoever to it. General Sokaro disappeared into the hole right before it closed up

Allen did not attempt to follow. He was lying unconscious on the floor, the darkness receded and the scar reappeared.
