Allen was escorted into one of the rooms. Quite harshly in his opinion. They tied him into a chain attached to the wall.

'Why are you still staying here, Allen?', the fourteenth asked, almost curiously.

Allen didn't respond till the exorcists were gone. They were going to discuss what to do with him."I want to find out what the fifteenth wanted to show me...", Allen said,"She said she'll show me the truth..."

Allen leaned against the wall and sighed. He knew that he shouldn't upset Road any further but curiousity had gotten the better of him. The door of the room opened and a young girl peered inside. Nea stepped inside and looked questionably at Allen.

"Sir Allen, why are you tied up?", Nea asked as she closed the door behind her.

"You don't know?"

"Know what?", Nea asked. Allen just decided not to tell her. After all, she was the only one he could talk to, besides the fourteenth and Crown Clown.

"When have you joined the Order? And your parents?", Allen asked out of the blue.

"I joined the Order a few months ago..." , Nea said and sat on the floor in front of Allen, she glanced at the window."As for my parents... I'm not sure who my mother was... I was an orphan. The person I considered my father is missing... I guess"

Allen was only silent. He knew Nea felt. He was an orphan himself. Allen's left eye started to ache. He quickly gaze out of the room's window, struggling through the chain that tied him. He heard them long before he saw them. A hundred akumas... All of them were accompanied by agonizing souls. It was too much.

"Sir Walker?"

"Hey, I think I see the Order now!", Tadeo announced. Tyki only glanced at him. It had been quite a long time since he had a mission with the older noah and he almost forgot how he's always acting during missions. Tadeo squinted his eyes and noticed something missing. The fifteenth's barrier. It wouldn't keep the Noah of Pleasure out but still...

The Black Order had raised its alarm. Several exorcists got out of the main building."Ah, they're welcoming us", Tyki mused.

Tadeo turned to the akumas."Kill the exorcists but leave the lady with long dark green hair..."

"Isn't she Road's doll?"

"Yeah", Tadeo answered as they hopped off the akumas. Most of the exorcists were already busy with the akumas. Tyki glanced at the vast building. Now, where could Allen be?

Allen activated Crown Clown and easily destroyed the chain that tied him.

"Sir Allen?"

Allen hesitated for a moment then turned to Nea."Don't go outside...", he said to Nea then leaped out of the window. Allen landed on the ground daintily. As soon as his feet contacted with the ground, he looked up, only to see an overwhelming sight. A hundred agonizing souls... Now he was certain that they weren't illusions. The awful realization struck him. The souls were real. Real ones with emotion."Can you...", Allen began and let the question trail off. He didn't have to finish it. They already knew what he wanted to ask. The fourteenth let Crown Clown to answer Allen.'Yes, we can see it too...'

Why hadn't he noticed it before? Why? Hearing the souls moaning, begging him to free them, he suddenly felt something warm flowed down his cheeks. Tears.

Tyki had spotted Allen standing just in front of the Order."Shounen", he called as he started toward him. Tadeo was busy playing with the exorcists. As he came closer, he noticed that the boy looked different.

"Shounen...?"

Allen looked at Tyki with tear-streaked eyes."Ty... Tyki"

"We're here to pick you up..."

Allen averted his gaze from Tyki's and took a few steps backward."I... I don't want to go back there..."

"What do you mean?"

"I won't go back there!"

"You know the Earl won't take no as an answer...", Tyki said, he started towards Allen. Allen kept backing away till he felt the wall behind him."I'll have to force you back...

Allen clenched his fist. He could fight back but he just doesn't want to hurt Tyki."You can't force him if he doesn't want to!", someone yelled.

Allen looked up. Nea had stepped in front of him. Tyki smirked at her and raised his left arm."Foolish child...", he said. Allen watched wide eye as Tyki's hand thrusted into Nea. Some of the blood spilled on Allen. Nea staggered backwards and fell on the ground.

"No..."

Allen thrusted the large sword into Tyki."I'm sorry...", he murmured. Suddenly, a memory flashed before him. Instead of Tyki, the sword was driven into a different person."I'm sorry, Joyd", a voice said,"I know it hurts but we need to do this..."
