Shadow

Out Of Control

"Caretaker," Crowley says slowly. She continues to stare at Xavier in suspicion. The kid suddenly stands in front of them all.

"I'll- I'll fight you if you come any closer!" he exclaims with a stutter. She snorts.

"I'm not going to hurt you kid," she says quietly as she turns around. She falls into a shadow of a tree.


"What do you mean 'he's lost it'?" Alli asks in frustration through the phone. Sheril is on the other line with shear panic.

"Tyki and the twins are on it now, but I fear they won't be enough. Matt hasn't been like this since he first encountered innocence," Sheril explains in worry. Alli sighs.

"I'm on a mission right now, Sheril!" she exclaims angrily.

"Please, they're near you! It's in Paris," Sheril explains hurriedly. Alli groans.

"You know I despise that place!" she exclaims with more anger.

"I know, but you must hurry! He won't listen unless you're there," Sheril persuades.

"Fine!" Alli shouts with intense rage.

Boom!

Smoke and debris fill the area as the golden-haired woman enters the city. She stares at the wreckage as memories of the past flood her mind. I knew he'd destroyed Germany, but this is ridiculous!

She jumps down from the building she was standing on, and runs to the crater that fills the center of the city. A giant wall is in front of her as she sees the twins and Tyki trying to break it. One of them notices her arrival.

"Allison! It's great you're here!" Tyki shouts. The twins shoot a bullet towards the wall, but it does nothing.

"What the bloody hell is happening!" Alli yells over the wind and explosions. She runs up to Tyki to hear him better.

"Matt's lost it," Tyki explains.

"I figured that much," Alli says sarcastically. "How did lose it?"

"I'm not sure," Tyki admits as another explosion occurs from the twins. "All I know is that a lot of stress has been placed on him. With Road disappearing, and you leaving, I think he's finally cracked."

"Well, I think it's time to stop his reign of terror." Alli then steps up to the wall and creates a barrier. She, Tyki, and the twins step through it. Entering, they find that there's mass chaos and blood everywhere. They notice Matt standing in the distance above an exorcist. His eyes are black with blood red irises. He has black hair, but his skin is white as a ghost. There appears to be demonic wings behind his back. His aura shows something that is completely consumed with anger and madness. Tyki quickly jumps over and stands in front of the raging Noah.

"Matt! Listen up, you're not you right now! Wake up!" he shouts towards the man. He blocks the spike that just tried to impale his head.

"He's occupied at the moment," Matt says sinisterly. Tyki narrows his eyes. He sends tease towards Matt to catch him off guard. Matt only stands there with a sadistic smile as more spikes strike from the ground. The tease are punctured and slowly disintegrate. Tyki stands there with frustration.

The twins suddenly shoot a red bullet toward the Noah. The blazing ball hits him with ease. As the flames die down, a stone dome is presented. Matt comes out when the shield moves back into the ground. The twins then send a blue bullet, hoping to freeze him, but he merely dodges the attack at high speed. He spots Alli from afar.

The golden-haired woman stands there petrified, knowing nothing about how Matt works in this situation. She's almost frozen in fear, but is snapped back to reality when he heads straight towards her. Alli narrows her eyes in combat mode and takes a stance. He's suddenly gone. She looks around, waiting for him to appear, but finds a hand through her body.

"I remember you," he says sadistically. "You're the one he loves, right?"

Alli stands there in pain as his arm twists through her body. "You must be Majnun."

"Oh? You know my name?" he asks in a innocent voice. "I'm honoured."

"You kill me, he'll kill you. Remember that," Alli warns with a smirk as blood rises from her throat. He continues to smile.

"Matt won't notice a thing, since he's unstable at the moment. It's my turn to walk this world," he says as his voice gets louder.

"You're mad," Alli says with a grin. She stomps on his foot and he pulls his arm from her torso. She turns around and kicks him across the face with her boot. He stands there nonchalantly, not phased by her action. He begins to strike her face with his fist. She blocks it with her arm, and tries to punch his face. He's too fast because he's already kicking her in the stomach. She's sent flying into the barrier and falls to the ground. She quickly rises to attack once more, but he's already in front of her. He punches her face, and she's sent into the wall once more. He lifts her body up and slams her into the rock.

"You're weak," he spats with boredom. "I thought you'd be stronger, since you were sent to find someone who's isn't even findable."

He presses against her jugular and she tries to pry his hands from her neck. "I honestly think you are the weakest of us all, hence why the Earl hasn't sent you to find Apocryphos. Maybe that's why Tyki was sent instead, because he's stronger.

"Shadows, ha! What a joke! You too chicken to even use it!" Majnun exclaims with a smile of madness. He notices her expression of defeat. "You're afraid of me, aren't you? You've never seen precious Matt like this, huh? Give it up, girlie. You're dead already."

Just when he's about to give the final blow, something pierces his hand. He stares at his hand as something enters his skin. "What is that?"

Alli smirks. She knees the man in a place where a man shouldn't be kneed, and he lets go of her. She falls to the ground and coughs for air. Matt stares at his hand, then glares towards the golden-haired woman.

"What did you do to me?" he asks once more. Alli breathes heavily.

"It's a shadow crystal," she says with a smirk. She stands above him. "I didn't want to use it on you, but you called me weak."

"So you injected me with some petty crystal?" he asks in disbelief. He stands as well. "What a child's play-"

He suddenly strikes Alli's arm with a stone spike, but she stops it by lifting her hand. He's confused. Her eyes show intense anger. Tyki and the twins realize what has happened.

"Oh boy, she's mad now. . ." Tyki mumbles. He's never really seen her awakened form, so it'll be interesting to see how this plays out. . .

"How are you doing that?" Matt asks with a cheeky grin. The golden-haired woman stares at him with an intense glare. "You upset that I called you weak?"

Alli moves her hand over to him and he feels as though he can't move. Her hair becomes a turquoise colour, and skin turns to a dark brown. The seven stigmata engrave themselves across her forehead and she walks closer to the man. She brings her hand down and he kneels without hesitation. She crouches to his level and tilts her head.

"Well now, it appears that you are in a tough position. Are you feeling okay?" she asks innocently, sounding worried about his being. "You appear to be in pain."

Matt smirks. "I'm not-"

Alli curls her fingers a few centimeters and he begins to shake. "You are, aren't you? It must hurt a lot; I know because I inflict it upon you. I'm not sure if you could call me weak in the current situation right now, seeing as though you aren't even moving."

"What are you doing? You know if you hurt me, you hurt Matt," he says with a grin. She tilts her head once more.

"Hurt you? Does this indicate that you are in pain?" she asks. His smile fades as he grows irritated by her attitude.

"Yes, you twit. Why are you so intent on that?" Matt asks in frustration.

"Are you upset by my actions?"

"Yes! You are driving me insane woman! Get on with your point!"

"My point?" she asks, genuinely confused. "There is no point. There are only words. Have you ever heard of the saying, sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me? That saying is bullocks. Words can hurt, and you my friend, have hurt me by using yours. So my point? You want to know?"

She closes her hand and his shouts from the pain. She leans in closer with a smile of madness. "Is that pain can be put into someone both physically and mentally. You are already injected with madness, but I can guarantee that it can be worsened by pain."

"Are you done?" Matt asks impatiently as he holds in the pain. She grasps his neck hard. He stops talking. She gives him an intent glare.

"Do you realize what's inside your body right now?" Alli asks icily. He stares at her in surprise. "I can kill you from the inside out because of that one crystal I put in your body. But I'm nicer than that because guess what Majnun, I love him."

She touches his forehead and he passes out. His body drops to the ground, and she looms over him. She turns to the twins and Tyki, then back at Matt's body. I may not have Road's power, but I can enter his shadow. . .

She drops in.

:+:

A city.

A city as far as the eye can see. She stands there in Noah form as she walks around. She spots someone in the distance. It's Matt. She runs over to him and realizes he's only standing there. He doesn't focus on anything. She stands in front of him.

"Matt? Are you there?" He stands there without any recognition of her being there. His eyes stare into nothing, and appear hollow whilst doing so. Alli sighs.

She slaps his face.

Matt's eyes turn to Alli. "Allison?"

"Wake up," she demands angrily. "I'm not killing you, so wake up."

"But Majnun has-"

"Then kick his ass, and wake up! I'm in a city that I despise, trying to save you, and you're here standing around doing nothing!" She slaps the back of his head and he rubs it.

"What was that for?" he asks with a pout. She smiles.

"That was to wake you up more," Alli says. She slaps his head once more.

"What was that for?" he asks angrily.

"That was for letting Majnun call me weak," she says with a frown. "I'll leave you here to cope with your little friend whilst I return to the world that is not your mind."

:+:

"Well, boy, are you better now?" Tyki asks to Matt as he wakes after a few weeks. He smiles nervously.

"I did it again, didn't I?" he asks with a laugh. Tyki nods.

"You would've been lost if Alli hadn't smacked some sense into you," he explains with a small laugh. "Your madness was a bit scared of her after she shot you with a crystal."

"She shot me with a crystal?" Matt asks worriedly as his hand slowly reaches towards his chest. A laugh comes from the doorway.

"Don't worry, I've removed it from your body," Alli says as she crosses her arms. "You had me thinking you were gone there, Kamelot. Don't ever do that again."

Matt laughs. "Yes, ma'am."

Alli smiles then turns to leave. "Oh, and Matt-" named person looks towards her "-You tell Majnun that if he ever calls me weak again, we'll have a fun time discussing the consequences of his actions."

:+:

France.

The Provence Region has many kids scurrying along it, and Alli stares at them as they pass. Xavier said that Helena was here, so why do I get this feeling that he wanted me to be here for something else? She glances towards the park square and notices two people that she hoped she wouldn't see.

Lenalee and Marie.

They appear to be discussing about something, and are waiting for an ark gate. Lenalee seems to be upset about something, and Marie is trying to comfort her. Someone suddenly taps on Alli's back. She turns around immediately in surprise and is even more shocked by who stands in front of her.

"What are you doing here?" she asks Kanda.


Woot! Another chapter! Well, Wanderer, Matt had his appearance after six chapters! I hope I wrote Majnun well, and I had a lot of fun writing this chapter. (Well you better write an even better one soon, because I'm getting antsy.) Hope you enjoyed this extra chapter!
