Selfine: I send the author's apology for being not able to update her stories for long. She had been just busy with school..
Suishou Yume: I'll always be... Please review!
"No... No..", Allen said in disbelief. Why?... Nea didn't do anything wrong!
'... Do you see now? The hatred they have for humans?'
T-that voice!... Allen recognized it immediately as the fifteenth's but where is she?
Clea's voice continued.'Or to be exact their hatred to wards the Black Order... What if I tell you that the Noahs didn't used to be like that?'
Allen's attention was diverted when he heard someone cough. Nea. She was still alive! Allen had never felt relieved like this. He ran towards the bloodstained girl. "Nea..."
"You've changed in such a short time, shounen..", Tyki said, approaching them.
Allen placed Nea at a safer side and glanced at Tyki." ... I ... I told you, I'm not going back there...", he said in a low voice.
"You left me with no choice...", Tyki said. He raised his bloodstained arm. The dark matter flowed around it and then formed a large sharp blade. Tyki lunged forward. Allen immediately blocked it using his left claw. He extended Crown Clown, leaped away, putting some distance between him and Tyki. Even as he hovered in mid-air, the pitiful cries didn't escape him. Distracted, he was surprise to found himself face to face with Tyki. He held onto the silver haired lad and sent him against the ground.
Tyki picked him up the throat and pushed him against the wall."You'll have to forgive me for this...", Tyki said and plunged his hand into Allen.
Allen's eyes widen. As he stared at Tyki's face, his vision was beginning to blur. He was close to being unconscious when he heard a song... The song of Crowned Clown.
Tyki noticed that Allen's left arm started to glow.'What the hell is happening?..', Tyki wondered.
Six Innocence hovered in the air and encircled Allen and Tyki. Crown Clown's cloak extended and grabbed the hovering Innocence. The cloak tightened around it, causing it to loose its crystal form. The shattered Innocence enveloped Allen's left arm. Allen cough out some blood. His right arm reached to his left. The innocence glowed and turned Allen's left hand into a large sword. With the last of his strength, Allen pushed Tyki away. Blood gushed out of the open wound. He endured the pain and thrusted the sword into Tyki."I'm sorry.."
Suddenly, a memory flashed before him. It was now a different person in front of him.
'I'm sorry, Joyd', he said,'... I know it hurts but we need to do this...'
Allen shook his head. What was that? He glanced at Tyki who staggered backwards... That was the last thing he saw before he fell unconscious.
~Truth Beneath the Illusion~
Tadeo had seen what had happened. He leaped from the akumas and let them handle the exorcists. This was way beyond the plan... He glanced at the unconscious Musician then turned to Tyki and knelt next to him. He noticed that the younger noah started to shudder. Tadeo bit his lip. He already sensed what was about to happen. He quickly placed a hand over Tyki and let the controlled dark matter flow. That was all he can do to prevent him from being consumed by his noah. "Take care of this, will you?", Tadeo said to the akumas.
"Yes, Master Noah."
Tadeo picked up the unconscious Tyki as one of the Ark's gate appeared. He dragged him into the gate then it materialized away.
~Truth Beneath the Illusion~
It took quite long and some damage before they manbge to kill all the akumas. It had been hard for them, considering they were just recovering from the previous attack of the Noah Clan. As the others were helping the injured ones, Komui approached the place wherein Nea and Allen lay unconscious. He quickly got some finders to bring them to the matron. The first picked up Nea. As Komui glanced at Allen, he couldn't help but think that they might be already too late. The teen had already lost too much blood.
Meanwhile, Bookman and Lavi watched from afar as the finders helped the injured noah."This is quite surprising on the Order's side", Lavi commented."The 14th betrayed the Noah Clan again.."
Bookman shook his head and gazed at the Musician." The fourteenth only betrayed the Millenium Earl, Lavi", he said,"Not the clan..."
Lavi looked up in surprise."What do you mean?", he asked. Bookman didn't answer and just shrugged. He left his apprentice and entered the headquarters.
"... There are some things that had to be kept in secret for the benefit of this war", Bookman said to himself."... Even if it is an important piece."
"What are you trying to say?", Allen growled.
"Not all are true, Musician...", Clea said,"But I can give a benefit or assurance of what is planned..."
The fifteenth smiled as she didn't get any response from the Musician."... The 'Heart' is a part of it..." , she said before disappearing.
