Allen POV

I have made it to the ruins, he just keep running reach the center of the Ruin, because the center where to find the Relic. Have finally made it to the center, but, he is on the second floor, and the relic is on the ground level, and on the center. 'It will be easy than though'.

"LENALEE WAIT UP!" the voice is very familiar, 'Maybe, not.' He knew the Ruin have trapped.

"LENALEE, CAREFUL WHERE YOU STEPPING!" she did not listen, and step one of the trap, but it almost hit her.

"That was close" She said to herself, and she saw the 'Relic', she is going to take it.

I get my MP5 with silencer, and shot her but not hitting giving a warning shot, more like shooting on the floor front of her.

"If, I where you, I won't get that Relic"

"Are you part of Noah-""Noah? NO!"

"And, who are you?"

"I don't know, but you can call "MiddleMan"" I said. Lenalee seem familiar that voice.

Her other group have finally catch up, even her brother.

"You not part Noah? And you know about the "ARK"?"

"Yes, I know it." "My families pass on the next generation about the "ARK" my family do anything, not letting anyone getting to the "ARK" ALL COST!"

"SHOT HIM!" Komui shout, and they shot at him, but they miss me, I shoot back. I hit most of them.

"But, I don't want to waste bullet, and letting you get it first! The toys will play you a while" I pull the trigger. Lot of status began to move, and begging to attack them, that involve me. "So… I will take, what belong to mine!" I saw one get the relic, and I grab of the vine, and swing to the person who have the relic, and hit him. While hitting him, he let go the Relic, it was on the air, I grab it, and went back to the above them. They we're busy with the Status.

"Sorry, I have leave, but I like to play around" I smile, and turn around, more like 180 degree, and run to get out of the ruins.

LENALEE POV

I notice, he will escape, but I won't let him escape, and I found a vine, will let me go up, I so I did.

"LENALEE, where are you going?"

"I am going after him, to get the relic!"

I did go after him, after a while, I was able to catch up with him, but he is very fast, I got my pistol, and aim to shoot him, but I miss.

"Stop right, there!" He stops, he turn around, he wearing a gear, and also wearing a mask so he won't be known be identify.

"What, do you want ?"

'How did he know my name?' in my mind saying it, "How did you know my name?"

"It is doesn't matter to you" he escape, it was turn to the left, I ran to catch up, with my pistol on my hand, ready to shoot, when I came to turn, he was waiting for me to turn, I did not know, I aim, but it was too late, he quickly move his hand, to my hand on the air, pressing my arm to let go, I did, I let go, to the floor, he kick my pistol, so I can't reach, he let go, and now it is a hand to hand battle more like hand to feet battle, but, the wall are kind too close, it will be hard to kick him.

"You can't kick, with a small space."

"Dammit!" I began to punch him, but he was fast, I next punch with my hand but, he catch up, he quickly turn me and kind of hug me to not kick or punch, and push me where the corner.

"Sorry, I have to keep my schedule." He said and ran, I ran him to again, to catch him. Later, of chasing him, he always watches his step, like he know every trap will be, and I so did, what he's step. Later, he finally near to the exit, I did not pick my pistol or I lose him. But, the room have lot of space, he stop look around, I quickly, kick him, but he turn around and block my kick, and quickly, let go, I recover from my kick, I will kick him again, arm and quickly me to room, I have no space.

"Let me go!" I was angry

"OK." He let me go, and jump to the way out.

Is he crazy enough to jump, he will die, but he pull a shot, he have parachute, I was shock, and surprise!

"WHO EVER YOU ARE, I WILL CATCH YOU!"

"Good luck with that!" he replies.

Lavi came out behind and said "Lenalee, did you get the Relic?"

"No, he gets away with it; he will be going to the Airfield"

"OK… I will inform them to get ready to stop him."
