Chapter 49

The akuma arrived at the gates destroying everything in site. The samurai exorcist was already there defending. The others joined him in trying to subdue the many number of akuma that might destroy the building. The finders are helping with the devices created by the science division.

There weren't any sign of Noah until candles suddenly shot at the finders killing about twenty at once. The exorcists were able to dodge while the Japanese clearly headed at her and made an attack.

By the window, a Portuguese man was smoking a cigarette while watching them battle. A knock came to his door which opened to show the General's annoyed look at what he was doing. She rushed towards his side and killed the smoke with her boots.

"Where in the world are you getting those?"

"Does it matter? Shouldn't you be asking me to go to the fight now?"

"There's a reason they came here and I want to know why. They don't just barge in front of the order like that. Something is going on. The akuma are more like distraction."

"You guessed right. My niece is right behind you."

"Uncle Tyki! Why did you give me out? You're no fun."

"This isn't really fun."

"So what is going on? Will anyone care to explain?" asked the general.

"Will you do the honors, Road? I wasn't part of this plan of yours."

Yours referring to the family.

"Well, Uncle Tyki... I'm not really supposed to tell. It's a secret. See you around," said the girl as she disappeared outside with a wide grin on her face.

"Are we supposed to take a guess? Follow her? Or help them there outside?"

"Do you even know how to find her?"

"We both have eyes," he said while lazily smiling in suggestion.

"We'll be staying inside making sure that no one else is inside the order besides your niece. It is very much possible the others have entered as well."

"Indeed, true. Are we to separate?"

"Covers more... so yes."

The white haired young boy had already gone outside and fought the akuma. He shot at them with his innocence while the rest with his claw. He hasn't brought out the sword yet. Having taken about one percent of the akuma that arrived, he searched around if anyone needs his help.

Surprisingly, there were very few akuma surrounding him. He checked inside through the window and saw familiar shoes and socks of a girl he knows. He went inside not bothering to stop and think and tried following. He saw her running through the stairs. He doesn't know why but he just followed her. He just did with no reason.

The green haired girl who was fighting alongside him noticed his absence and looked around. She saw him inside and decided to follow him but more akuma came.

Walking to the stairs leading to a floor he hasn't gone to, he wondered where he actually was. He is lost.

"Allen!" a voice screamed as hands suddenly attacked him in an embrace. "I missed you so much."

"Road!" said Allen in shock. It was just like her to do something crazy as that.

"Lero! Mistress Road, you shouldn't be hugging the enemy. Lero," said the umbrella noisily.

"Shut up, Lero. I do what I want."

"Lero. What will the earl say. Lero."

"How are you, Allen?" she said ignoring the golem.

"Can you let go? I could hardly breathe."

"Okay," she said letting go and instead held his hand. "Follow me."

"Why should I? Please let go of my hand."

"Just come with me through the door. I'll take somewhere."

Footsteps were suddenly heard and a voice shouted.

"Allen! What are you doing with that Noah?"

"What are you doing here, Ellis?"

"Lenalee saw you going inside and asked me to make sure you were alright."

"It isn't what it looks like," said Allen the words most excuses people often give in those misunderstood situations. He removed Road's hand away and headed to the fellow exorcist and in a stance ready to fight the Noah of dreams.

"Don't come to him, Allen. Go back. I'll take you some place else."

"Too late for that warning," said Ellis as his hand that suddenly changed grabbed Allen and held his head as if absorbing him slowly.

Allen fought and got away, weakening.

"What are you? Why did your hand suddenly turn that way?"

"Come back here, Allen Walker."

A candle was shot at him.

"Get away from Allen," said Road.

She was ignored as he charged towards him.

The exorcist general ran fast scanning the area letting no time be wasted. She has to find out where Road went and make sure she didn't do anything she wasn't supposed to.

"Yin, how are the others fairing?" she asked the golem to show what happened with the others.

Cross made it so that what the other golems could see can be transferred there. Videos of battle appeared showing both people she knew and never met. Many died and luckily the ones close to her aren't injured badly. The next video was that of her brother. He fought just fine then suddenly headed inside as if seeing something. Allen wouldn't just do that unless it was...

"Yin, tell Tyki to look for Allen," she said while rushing down the stairs.

The Portuguese man walked from floor to floor looking for his niece. The most likely place for the enemy would be where the innocence were kept but he knew she wouldn't be there. The place is heavily guarded and that would just be too boring for the earl if things ended that way. It was something else which Tyki wondered about.

His finger suddenly hurt. The silver golem given to Alyce by Cross bit him. Small traces of blood showed.

"What is it? That hurt you know."

"... look for Allen."

He wondered why that message then understood the moment the golem showed him the video. He rushed just as she did.
