Chapter 4-The Musician of Innocence

Allen surveyed the large gate that was in front of them. It seemed like it has some sort of face. Were the exorcists had always been this weird? After a few minutes, it finally opened up. Nea lead them inside. The exorcists were obviously shocked by its almost ruined state.

"W-what happened here?", Lenalee asked.

"At the same time the other branches were attacked, so were the Headquaters. It was attacked by the Noahs Tadeo and Road..."

"Was anyone... Killed?", Lenalee said, almost afraid to hear the answer.

Nea nodded grimly."There were thirty-six finders and three exorcists killed in the process... It seemed like their primary target was Sir Komui but one of them had been too distracted", she said," Upset, to be exact."

Allen's head perked up. One of them had been distracted? It must have been Road. Tadeo was almost never upset. "We were lucky that three of the generals backed us up...", Nea continued. As they passed through the ruins, Allen felt the finders staring at him. Well, it wasn't that hard to notice him., with him tied around and the exorcists surrounding him. Nea stopped in front of an office and left them.

Lenalee opened it and they herded in the office. Allen saw a chinese man in front of the table. He recognized him as the current supervisor of the Order. And there were people who sat on the couch. Timcanpy flew from Allen's head and landed on a seemingly familiar redhead.

"So, you got caught...", the redhead said, his back still turned."How pathetic..."

Allen winced. He knew that voice."You're still alive?", Allen said,"I thought the Earl killed you already."

"You shouldn't go into assumptions", Cross Marian said and smirked at Allen."Idiot apprentice..."

Despite the confusion he felt earlier, Allen couldn't help glare at the general."I'm not your apprentice, Cross Marian", he said stiffly.

"Noah or not you're still an accomodator", Cross said indifferently. He stood up and headed towards the door. He peered over his shoulder."You'll be forced into it anyway..."

Lenalee watched as the general left, her eyes agape. She still hasn't told anyone at the HQ about Allen being one of the Noahs. How did the general knew? Unfortunately, this fact didn't escape the other generals."One of the noahs is an accomodator of an innocence?", the blonde lady said. She peered at Allen, the monkey on her shoulder hissed at him.

Allen just averted his eyes from her and stayed out of that. He, himself, can't understand how a noah possess an innocence. And so far, it had caused him trouble. Not that he was comaplaining at all. Komui cleared his throat and gathered their attention."Anyway, we need to have his innocence checked out by Hevlaska.. Lenalee, Lavi, Bookman. I need you to accompany us. Just for safety", he said then turned to the generals,"You could come with us if you insist..."

Winters Zokalo stood up and left the room without much of a fuss. Krory and Kanda also left, leaving Komui, Lenalee, Lavi, Bookman and General Cloud with Allen."Let's go now."

~Truth Beneath the Illusion ~Truth Beneath the Illusion

Allen covered his ears. Or atleast tried to, with his hands still tied. They were approaching the lower level. He wished he could just block out all the songs but he couldn't. This was worse than before. He was actually hearing out a hundred innocence.

"This is really getting annoying...", he muttered.

This made Bookman glance over his shoulder. He had been wondering if Allen can really hear innocence..."Hevlaska...", Komui called.

Suddenly, something wrapped around Allen and lifted him up. It startled Allen a bit. A large creature loomed over him. Then Allen noticed something. The innocence's song. They weren't deafening anymore. It was now like haering an orchestra...

"The innocence are rejoicing...", Hevaska said. Rejoicing? But why?,"For one of the lost children had returned..."

Allen looked up questionably at Hevlaska. One of the lost children? Hevlaska's forehead met with Allen's. He started to feel quite relaxed. He slowly closed his eyes. Without realizing it, Allen shifted to his noah form. Lenalee and Lavi gasped. General Could grew more alert while General Yeegar and Bookman remained neutral.

'40...60...90...110", Hevlaska said."I50... 194. Allen's syncronization rate with his innocence is 194 percent. He had surpassed the previous record."

Hevlaska gently placed Allen down."Allen, in the near future, your innocence will give birth to the Destroyer of Time."

Allen's eyes widen... The Destroyer of... Time? What does it mean? Why does he have a feeling it had something to do with the Millenium Earl?

~Truth Beneath the Illusion ~Truth beneath the illusion

"Hey... How come I don't see Road around?", Tadeo asked.

Tyki looked up from the book he was reading."She's still upset about Allen being taken by the Order", he said then glanced at the Noah of Illusion questionably. Tadeo was wearing a magician's coat with blue linings and a half silver mask."Where have you been?"

"Ah, I've been at the circus. You know the place where I've used to work?", Tadeo said, placing the mask on the table,"They've been quite upset when I've neglected work for years so I agreed to do one show..."

"I can't believe you still like it there..."

Tadeo grinned."The things I do when bored..."

"Ah, Tadeo, Tyki!~", someone said in a singsong voice. They both turned and saw the Millenium Earl standing at the doorway. He smiled broadly at the two noahs."There's something I want you to do..."

"Something?"

"I want you to pick up our dear Musician from the Order. There's no way knowing what lies they've alreadytold him by now...", the Earl said. Tadeo noticed a slight serious tone in the Earl's voice. He glanced back at the mask at the table. He wondered if this sudden moves would affect the fifteenth's plan...

Allen's left eye suddenly started to ache. He quickly glanced out of the room's window. He struggled through the chains that tied him to the wall. He heard them long before he saw them.

A hundred Akumas.

...And all of them were accompanied with agonizing souls which he thought before as a mere illusion
