Chapter 4

The stairwell in the north side of the Black Order headquarters was trampled on quite roughly, for an enclosed time of about 2 minutes. To Lavi it seemed like an eternity. 'Does it never end?'Lavi was in the lead, and oddly picking up speed as he was racing to Allen's room. Lenalee was not far behind, followed by Komui and the others. Finally the group made it to the floor Allen resides on and rushed down the corridor only to stop at Allen's door. Lavi bolted into the room only to find the maniacal arm demolish what appeared to be an eye. Quickly looking at Allen he could see blood seep out of his closed eye lid.

"Oh no," Komui muttered quietly,"Allen."

Lavi released his innocence hammer to help restrain the untamed arm, but was suprised when the limb returned to its somewhat normal state. As everyone rushed forward quickly, as Bookman had just gotten through the doorway. When he glanced over to where everyone was he saw red streak Allen's snow white hair.

"I will return quickly." And with that he quickly departed leaving Komui and Reever and co. attend to the deteriorating exorcist.

"They have yet to surcease the bleeding." A familiar voice was heard echoing in the room, yet unknown to them it was the enemies who have come to take the newly problematic Noah back to the Millenium Earl.

"Yes, for if they don't stop it he will die, Lero."

"Well i guess we will have to try again later. We have to tell the Earl of this dilemma. Hopefully he will be alright." The group looked around the room for the intruders but stopped after hearing the quiet creak followed by the slam of a door.

"Why are you just standing around?" Bookman exclaimed as he entered the room with supplies. "Idiot apprentice" He murmured.

"Well Lero and Rhode just dropped by here to steal Allen and take him to the Earl, but decided to return back when he was better." Lavi replied angrily as the extra exorcists and scientists backed up extensively to give the two tinkering bookmen lots of room.

"I don't know if he ever will recover from this injury; the bloodloss could be too great."
