Chapter 11
Inside the Ark, Skin Boric was standing in the same room as the group of Exorcists with a massive grin on his face, his brown coat blowing to the side even though there was no wind. Yuu Kanda drew his Innocence and glared at the Noah of Wrath.
"You guys leave, I shall kill him, he's been hunting my General after all."
"We can't leave you here!" Lenalee cried out in anger.
"Yuu?" Lavi asked in surprise at his choice.
"Don't get me wrong, I'm doing this to complete my mission, not to help you." Kanda said darkly making Jane smirk.
The room began to rumble making Chaoji and Lenalee cling to Krory while Lavi and Allen battled to keep their balance, Nyoibou had changed into her weapon form and was fitting snugly in Lavi's pouch, Jane tumbled against a boulder and leaned against it, Allen panicked at this and said that he'd stay behind to help Kanda so they could quickly leave.
"You guys find a door and leave when you get the chance! We'll catch up!"
"No, I'm not being stuck with you." Kanda retorted calmly.
"Kan-" Allen tried to speak but Mugen was pressed against her neck scaring him.
"I said I'd kill him."Kanda hissed darkly. "Get lost before I cut you all up."
"Y-Yuu…" Lavi whimpered out.
"I could help if you wanted?" Jane suggested but had a glare pointed her way making her sweat drop and regret offering up her assistance.
"Die." The 'demon' snarled releasing Kaichu Ichigen.
This made everyone run screaming, Skin looked stupefied at Kanda attacking his friends while the others screamed and ran for their lives. Soon the scary man stopped and ignored the others as they shouted at him, Lenalee told him to come back to them, however before they could leave Skin attacked them with lighting.
"Be careful Kanda! He's the Noah of Wrath and when angered is more powerful! Take him seriously or you shall lose!" Jane warned before following the rest of the group through the door.
The aura around the Exorcist, the human and the Noah was depressing; it had been a while since they left Kanda to fight the Noah Skin Boric. However no one noticed that at the back of the group a brown haired female was crying, her skin had now turned darker into grey while her eyes were a bright golden, the crosses appeared on her forehead. The tears gently fell down her cheeks and dropped down onto the floor as she walked slowly, in front of the group a certain red haired female felt her eye-patch become wet forcing her to take it off and let herself cry freely, she walked quickly but not quick enough to draw attention to herself, unluckily for her though Lenalee saw drips of water falling on to the ground.
"Lavi? Are you okay?" The girl asked making the older girl tense up and reply weakly.
"Of course I am, why wouldn't I be? Let's hurry up okay?" The female sniffed as she walked faster, the group wouldn't leave her be however since the white haired male decided to grab her wrist and force her to turn around.
"You're crying…" He said in surprise. "What's wrong Lavi?"
"The Noah's crying also." Chaoji commented coldly.
"It's nothing, just me being silly." Lavi said, trying to avoid the topic of her tears.
"Is it something to do with you Jane?" Lenalee asked, forgetting that Chaoji didn't know about The Noah of Faith. "Is that why Lavi is crying? You are her Noah after all."
"L-Lenalee!"
"You fool." Jane muttered, holding a hand to her head.
"She's what? But Miss Lavi is an Exorcist! She fights those monsters! She can't be siding with them!" Chaoji shouted in anger.
"Oi boy, why do you think I'm here? I'm helping the Exorcists because my host wants to! I follow my host! She means everything to me; I can't face this world without her." The brown haired female snapped.
"Chaoji, I am the Noah of Faith, I have chosen not the accept The Earl's views and decided to go on the path of Bookman, however that path has led me to the Exorcists, I record with the Exorcists now." The red haired female stated coldly, before turning around and striding away. "Let's hurry up."
"How do we know you won't betray us? And how is this possible? Isn't Jane the Noah of Faith?"
"Why do you think Jane saved me from that Noah? Lavi is on our side, Jane is the Noah Faith, Lavi is just the Host, anyway to the real point, why are you both crying Jane?" Lenalee asked as the group began to walk on, Allen explaining things to the mistrustful human.
"Each Noah has a connection to each other, all the Noah felt the Noah of Wrath die, he was defeated by the Exorcist Yuu Kanda, who should be catching up to us soon. The Noah feel sad by the lose of a sibling and begin to cry, as you would if you lost Komui Lee or someone important to you, our host will also cry, as we our connected, it was why she fainted when I was knocked out by the Noah of Pleasure, the man who tired to kill you on the rooftops. Anyway we all will cry for a certain amount of time, until we've calmed down." Jane explained but then chuckled. "Pleasure's right actually, I'm going soft, I saved you from him, I helped Kanda fight Tyki without attacking him until he grabbed the Innocence, I warned Kanda about Skin, I protected your ship, and now I'm explaining things to you, oh God no, why me? I blame Lavi for making friends with you fools…"
"Isn't nice to have friends though Jane?" Lenalee smiled.
"…Shut it child…" The older female snapped making the green haired girl giggle.
"Noah can cry!" A girl's voice said with a smile, gently touching an older male's hand and holding it. "You're crying too Tyki."
"I know Rhode." Tyki Mikk sighed and held Rhode's hand gently as they tried to comfort each over.
A loud bang was heard in the room as two certain twins appeared in the doorway; their makeup was staining their faces from their own tears. While the twins rubbed their eyes Rhode curled up on her chair and started to speak of the now dead family member Skin.
"Skin, the child carrying Wrath, the most intense memories, I feel kinda sorry for the guy, he's different from Tyki's Pleasure, Jasdebi's Bonds, Lavi's Faith or my Dreams. We Noah have the urge to kill Exorcists but Wrath made Skin fight like a puppet as there was so much hatred that he couldn't control."
"Hey, did The Earl ask you two to capture Cross?" Tyki sniffed, rubbing his eyes. "You failed again didn't you?"
"Shut it! So what if we failed again? We aren't afraid of The Earl!" Debitto snapped while Jasdero wondered how the conversation managed to get to Cross.
The chicken in their arms made squawking noises while Rhode picked up a list that fell from Jasdero's pocket. The twins were too busy explaining that the only thing they could find of Cross was the chicken they were now holding.
"Cross gave us all his bills." Jasdero explained making the dark haired twin shout at him while Tyki sighed, Rhode was too busy laughing to do anything else.
Rhode has found Allen Walker's name on the list, and she told them about what Tyki and she were up to in their game with the Exorcists and Noah of Faith.
RUMBLE!
"ALLEN?" Lavi yelped.
"THE FLOOR IS COLLASPING!" Allen screamed as they began running.
Chaoji unfortunately tripped, luckily for him however Allen grabbed him with his Clown Belt and pulled him along, meanwhile Krory grabbed Lavi, Jane and Allen and moved forwards, he had drank a bottle of Akuma blood which helped him go much faster than before, once safely landed he dumped Allen and Chaoji on the floor but let Lavi, Jane and Lenalee get off him more steadily.
"This place…" Lenalee said.
"It looks like an Archive." Lavi commented, pulling Allen up.
"It is the Archive." Jane confirmed, looking around the room but spotted the twins Jasdebi.
"Yo Exorcists!"
"Who's the Exorcist?" The brown haired female shouted in annoyance, waving her arms.
"You're the one standing beside them Janie, we also saw you save that girl! Hehehe!" Jasdero pointed out which made the older female twitch in annoyance.
"Oh yeah? I'll kick your asses!" The blue eyed girl snapped.
"Allen Walker!" Debitto shouted as he and his twin aimed their guns at the boy making Lavi and Lenalee squeak in surprise at then began to shoot at their friend. "Nothing personal! But Cross pissed us off!"
"Cross pisses everyone off…" Jane sighed. "Even his girlfriends…"
The white haired boy dodged it surprised at them hearing of his Master; the twins appeared beside Allen and shot him.
"The power of the gun changed?" Lavi gasped.
"It wasn't the gun… it was the bullet little sis." Debitto informed his sister.
Allen's Clown Belt however pushed both twins into the bookcases; Jasdero started dancing around at the chance to be violent.
"I wonder, if we took you hostage would that make Cross come out?" The blonde hair twin asked, tilting his head.
"No way." Allen said bluntly.
"Try a female…" Jane muttered.
"You have no faith in Cross! Hehehe!" Jasdero giggled.
"Let's go Cross's student!" Jasdebi shouted and began shooting at Allen again, the boy thought that their power was to freeze things however this was proven wrong as the twins released a fire ball at him making him use Cross Grave, another one was shot out however making him gasp as it was too late to defend himself.
Luckily for the boy Lavi and Krory managed to hit the fire ball away from the poor boy and throw it back at the twins, the teenagers erased it however and smirked at the Exorcists.
"How do they do that?" Lavi snarled.
"You! You'll pay the bills Cross left us!" Debitto snarled in anger pointing at the cursed Exorcist.
This statement made everyone freeze in shock, to everyone's surprise Jane burst out laughing and began to tease the twins.
"You actually got his bills? You fools! Don't you know he's one of the biggest spenders ever created!" The girl laughed.
"Shut it Jane!" The dark haired male shouted. "He's like a demon! We'll make his student pay every guinea!"
"Why doesn't The Earl just pay for them?" The golden eyed female muttered after calming down from laughing.
"That's why their angry…" Lavi sighed after getting over her Noah's laughter.
"Poor Noah!" Nyoibou laughed as she appeared beside the red haired Exorcist with a grin.
"Debt seems to have done some damage over there." Jane pointed out, her thumb pointing behind her making Lavi, Nyoibou and Krory turn around to find a boulder on Allen who was muttering about 'debts' and 'Cross' and 'hammer'.
"A-Allen! Are you okay?" Lavi said shakily, then she screamed when horns appeared from the boy's head as he went into his 'dark side'.
"Only 100? That's pocket money! And Cross isn't like a demon! He is a demon! Be prepared for that or you will lose!" Allen ranted making everyone freeze in surprise.
The twins had laughed loudly at this then attacked the silver eyed male in anger.
"Jasdero, let's use the 'deceiving glasses' on them." They released a purple bomb together, when Cross's Apprentice tried to attack them he only grabbed some toys that looked like the twins.
"We got you." The toy version of Jasdero sang.
"The floor!" Lenalee cried out. "Look!"
What the group found was a key, all over the floor, millions of the key that they had on them which now was also copied on to the floor.
"Walker! Do you still have the key?" The brown haired female asked in panic. "And wait! Why did you get me too?" She ranted, waving her arms about again while Lavi and Nyoibou tried to calm her down.
"I can't find it! What are these two's ability?" Allen snapped, while him, Krory and Lavi took a protective stance around Lenalee and Chaoji, Jane hovered beside her host who held Nyoibou's weapon form tightly in her hands.
"Oh we are so in trouble, we can't see the twins nor the key, can't you do something Jane?" The black and white haired Exorcist asked.
"What? Who do you think I am? Mary-Sue? I can't beat their power without the full acceptance of a host you fool!" Jane snapped.
"Well sorry brat!"
"I can't remove this paint on my eyes!" Lavi hissed, her eye-patch was off as she tried to clean the paint away; Krory was now tempted to try and see what was behind that eye-patch though stopped himself.
"I'm sorry for letting them steal the key…" Allen whimpered in shame.
"It's okay Allen." Lenalee consoled as she whispered to him. "They said the paint was called 'deceiving glasses' the keys on the floor might be an illusion, meaning that there is only one key on the floor! That makes me wonder if it isn't just our eyes tricking us."
"I see…" Lavi muttered.
"Correct! Hehehe! The real key is right in front of you!"
"GIVE US THE KEY!" Jane screamed.
"Do try and find it before you die!" Debitto's voice rang out as they shot a fireball at them, however copies of that ball appeared aiming themselves towards the Exorcists making them scream and try to escape.
"AHH!" Chaoji cried out in pain.
"Chaoji!" Lenalee gasped.
"I SAID GIVE US THE KEY! NOT A FIREBALL YOU IDIOTS!" The female Noah snarled.
"I'll drag them out! They must be in this room after all!" Allen snarled as he used Clown Edge all over the room, expect from above him, where a green bomb appeared and engulfed him.
"Allen!" Lavi yelped while Jane sighed.
"C-can't breathe!" The young male choked out.
"I'll get you outta there!" The girl said while using her hammer to burn the slime around Allen; however it was also burning him.
"HOOOOTTT!"
"What are we going to do? Krory?" Lenalee asked who quickly silenced her.
"Allen, I'll take care of these glasses, until I find the real key you will have to protect Lenalee and Chaoji, with Krow."
"But how will you do that Lavi?" Allen gaped.
"The scratches, the dirt, I recorded everything the first time I saw it, these glasses won't fool the Bookman's Apprentice."
"Good! Find it in 1 minute!"
"Impossible…" Lavi grunted.
"As soon as you find it take Lenalee and Chaoji and leave, I'll throw Krory through the door afterwards, I'll leave it to you Lavi!"
"Allen look out!" The green eyed girl screamed as the blue bomb hit Allen and pushed him away.
"Find the key Lavi!"
Luckily for the boy the oldest male in the area managed to kick the ice then grabbed Allen wrist and threw him into a bookcase.
"Whether its redhead brats or Noah brats, YOU'RE ALL CHEEKY!" Krory snarled.
"It's not really good to be so angry Krory…." Allen moaned in pain then froze as he heard two voices complaining behind him.
"DUCK KID!" Krory snarled as he tried to grab the twins but missed. "Damn, they got away; I should have thrown you harder…"
"You can see Jasdebi?"
"No, but for some reason I know where they are, I want to bite them to death and my blood is getting excited about it! BWAHAHA!" Krory cackled which scared Allen while Jane watched him laugh from a distance without hearing what he just said making her raise an eyebrow.
"That's not something a nice person would say…"
"We'll beat them kid, just do as I say." Krory smirked, dropping some blond hair that was in his hand. "You too, girly." He mentioned towards Jane who glared.
"Wood Seal." Lavi muttered, Nyoibou was against her shoulder as air began to harshly blow round the room.
The wind was gathering up all the keys and wrapping them up into a ball; the girl landed on the platform in the middle of the room and stood up, allowing the keys to surround her. When she was inside her green eye opened revealing a glowing orb that began to scan the keys one at a time. Outside the darkness Allen was restraining the two Noah teens by their necks, Jane was standing beside Lenalee and Chaoji now, as the two male Exorcists told her she could stay out of the battle with her brothers, when her golden eyes glanced again at the group of males she saw a monster swallow Allen and Krory up which made the younger male release the twins. The eaten males began screaming which made the green haired female begin to run towards them before the older female could stop her.
"Lenalee get back here you fool!" Jane snapped, moving after her before checking to make sure that Chaoji would be safe.
The green haired female however tripped up as her legs went limp, she tried to get them to move desperately, but she was quickly grabbed by a hand on her arm.
"You okay brat?" Jane snapped.
"M-my legs…"
"I know, they are still healing from your batt-" The golden eyed female tried to finish but was suddenly shot by a blue bullet which threw her away from the green haired female.
"JANE! Are yo-" She never finished because suddenly a hand clamped over her mouth as the two male Noah boasted about how they caught the 'princess'.
This angered Allen who managed to escape as the twins placed her in a bubble, he demanded that they let her go and leave her out of this battle. This made them grin, suddenly The Earl started attacking the white haired male, Krory jumped into help but both were being beaten easily, Lenalee punched Debitto who made her cough out blood by hitting her with his gun. Luckily for the entire group however Lavi had found the key which was shown when the doors to the next area appeared, Jane was now sitting up from being knocked unconscious by the ice hitting her head and smirked.
"Look's like the girl found the key, good job Lavi."
The Earl and keys were pulled into the doorway and the glasses faded away, Allen and Krory punched Jasdebi knocking them into a bookcase, the mistake was that they called the twins 'brats' making them finally serious.
"The hell?" Lavi muttered.
"The air's getting heavier…"
"Hurry up and get Lenalee out of here Allen." Krory commented. "These's children are hard to predict with those abilities of theirs."
The twins began to sing, making Jane shoot up and run towards them in desperation, they shot each other before she could do anything though.
"Dammit no!" The female Noah cursed.
"They shot each other?" Allen and Lenalee gasped.
Jasdebi's shadows began merging together creating a giant cloud of smoke, Lavi's voice screamed out to them to get away but it was too late, Krory was forced into a bookcase, his blood splattering all over the books and shelves making everyone freeze in shock.
"God no…" Jane hissed.
"What? Who is that?" Lavi asked in wonder.
"The Noah of Bonds, the twins were originally one being, they have completely merged together Lavi…" The female Noah explained.
"What?"
"HOW DARE YOU DO THAT TO KRORY!" Allen shouted while attacking them, however the boy was electrocuted by dark matter.
"Let's make you a bomb to destroy that door!" Jasdebi laughed but luckily for the Exorcists Krory had managed to break that bomb and freed Allen. "The vampire?"
"I'm not a vampire, I am Arystar Krory." The male hissed before he fell, luckily Allen and Lavi managed to hold him up.
"Are you okay Krory?" The female gaped.
"I'm alright." He reassured weakly.
'We need to leave now, while the door is still there…' Lavi thought.
"WE WON'T LET YOU GET AWAY!" Jasdebi laughed as he threw Allen away.
Before Lavi could do anything her Innocence went into it's human form and kicked Jasdebi sending a fire seal through her leg to surround the Noah, she laughed at how easy that was which made Lavi worry but suddenly gloved fingertips gently were against her cheek while another hand wrapped around Nyoibou's throat startling both girls.
"It's so very hot little sister!" Jasdebi laughed and he punched Lavi's face then threw Nyoibou away with a punch to the stomach.
"Lavi!" Jane shouted before running forward and catching the female Exorcist before landing on the ground.
The horrible thing was that when Nyoibou landed she felt a firm chest pressed against her back, as she was about to move away a hand snatched her neck in a tight hold and was glowing with dark matter making her scream in pain. Her brown eyes managed to see a male with dark hair and golden eyes standing behind her as she struggled and clawed at his hands.
"Nyoibou! Tyki let her go!" Lavi cried out, before she could get up and try to help her Innocence two arms wrapped around her tightly and held her in place.
"Don't Lavi! You can't fight him without Nyoibou!" The golden eyed female ordered while restraining her.
"That's right Lavi, you just stay out of the battle now sweetheart and try not to get hurt, we'll look after your Innocence, don't worry, I'll be a perfect gentleman." Tyki purred before tightening his grip on Nyoibou and disappearing into the ground with the redhead's Innocence.
"Where the hell did he come from?" Lavi snarled as the brown haired female let her go.
"The ground probably, sneaky ass, he must have snuck in here when Jasdero and Debitto joined together." Jane snarled.
"Why did you stop me?"
"You have no abilities in your state! Only Nyoibou allows you to fight and don't you forget it, you haven't accepted me so you can't gain access to your Noah powers. You'd be a weak human in Tyki's eyes."
"ALLEN! LAVI!" Krory shouted. "Take Lenalee and the others and get through the door!
"I'll stay to!" Allen shouted as the door began to collapse, Jane and Lavi got to their feet and reached Lenalee and Chaoji.
"NO! This wound won't allow me to fight anymore! You and Lavi need to protect Lenalee and the Chaoji! There is no one else I can believe in! GO!"
This made Allen drag Lenalee away into the doorway with Chaoji , Jane and Lavi following, however the blue eyed female looked back to see Jasdero stare at her before battling Krory.
"Twins…don't die…" She whispered softly, before turning around and entering the lightened doorway.
