Kesenai got up from the hospital bed after about a week of staying in bed. "Ugh… My back already hurts… Now to rescue James. But… How do I expect to get over there?" Kesenai thought to himself.

Road appeared behind Kesenai and hugged him "Want me to help you try to find your friend?" she asked.

"Huh? How did you know I was going to try to save him?" Kesenai asked.

"You told me just now." Road giggled.

"Oh I did?" Kesenai laughed and smiled at the sight of Road. He hadn't smiled for real in a long time.

"I'll take you there." Road replied.

"Thanks. Where are you going to take me?" Kesenai asked.

"I'll take you to China. That's where the other Noah are based… As well as The Millennium Earl." Road answered.

Kesenai nodded his head "Alright then." Kesenai began to pack up everything he needed, made sure that he had everything, and sheathed his sword, placing it on his waist. Road waited for Kesenai outside of Kesenai's room. Kesenai opened the door "I'm ready…"

Road looked at him "The other Noah are very strong… There's no turning back as soon as you try to meddle with the others' affairs… Are you sure you wish to meddle with them?" Road warned him.

Kesenai smiled "Hey, look who you're talking to. Of course I'll meddle, I don't care what happens in the end as long as James will be okay." he replied.

"Just… Don't die… Please..?" Road looked up at Kesenai's eyes.

"I promise that." Kesenai replied.

"Alright then…" Road smiled. Kesenai and Road had walked out of the hospital, beginning their journey to the devil's nest…

The Millennium Earl chuckled "So this kid is a Noah and decided to betray us… Hmm… He seems to be older than Road… Maybe he could possibly have the same power as her, the ability to download for the Ark… Hmm… I think I know what I'll do to him. We'll dig through his soul to look for the Noah within and make him come on our side… Oh! It seems that Road is guiding Kesenai here…" the Millennium Earl chuckled "Oh ho ho ho, what fun we shall have. Little does he know that he shall be dancing with the devil as soon as he's walked in here…."

Skinn grunted "Should I wait for him?"

The Millennium Earl nodded his head "Yes, meanwhile the other Noah and I shall take this boy away to the other 'box'." he replied.

Skinn nodded his head "Alright then."

About 5 hours after Road and Kesenai had left off from the hospital, they arrived at a Chinese State (Or City, I don't even know it) called Beijing. "The Earl based himself here… Kesenai, are you really sure that you're going to face the Earl and the other Noah..?" Road looked up to Kesenai.

"Yes. I am going to face the Earl and the other Noah. That bastard is already taking away the people I hold dear, I won't let his existence continue!" Kesenai growled, clenching his fists tightly. His right arm (The one covered in bandages) began to bleed on the spot where his knuckles were. Kesenai and Road began walking toward a forest. Kesenai's scar began to burn and his right eye changed to it's cursed form "There's Akuma nearby!" Kesenai shouted, turning around, looking around, watching carefully, his hand on the hilt of his sword, ready to pull it out when necessary.

A Level 3 Akuma stepped forth "Hello, Exorcist… Nice to kill you!" it dashed at Kesenai, the armor shining in the sunlight, ready to punch him. The armor's gleam was enough to blind Kesenai by only a bit, aside from that, Kesenai had side-stepped from the Level 3 Akuma's punch and pulled out his sword, slicing at the Level 3 Akuma. The Level 3 Akuma laughed at Kesenai, parrying all of Kesenai's blows. Kesenai was only able to defeat the Level 3 Akumas from before because Lavi was there to assist him. This time, he was on his own. The Level 3 Akuma chuckled "Don't worry, I'll make sure Master Earl doesn't get bothered with a little brat such as you. The Level 3 Akuma punched in the direction of Kesenai's left arm.

Kesenai laughed "Are you an idiot? You just punched the air." Kesenai's eyes widened as he felt something slice a clean cut on his left arm. He looked at his left arm, seeing it bleed and thought: "What's going on here? This isn't right… Is this the power of his Dark Matter?"

"The power of my Dark Matter is to bend the wind using the force of any punch or kick that may miss and it'll convert the wind into a scythe that slices the opponent depending on where I sent the punch." the Level 3 Akuma explained.

"Oh really now?" Kesenai smirked. "Then this'll be one hell of a fun fight" he licked his lips as he began to remove the bandages wrapping his right arm. Road looked as Kesenai had began removing them…

--

At the 'box' in Beijing, where The Millennium Earl was based, the Earl had began experimenting on James' memories and thoughts, rearranging them and changing them with fake memories. "Oh ho ho ho, this is really fun, I can bend this child to my will now." the Earl chuckled.

A girl with short, light blue hair walked in "Uh, Earl?" she walked in. She disliked the Earl, but was pretending to be on his side until she could gather more people to help her fight against the Earl. She knew about James and never said a word, wanting to keep him safe. She thought: "Damnit… He got to James now…" "Earl, do you think it's wise to be changing his memories? At any time he could probably regain the original memories." she said.

"Oh I'm aware of that, I just want to see what this could do to a Noah." the Earl replied, not even looking at her. The girl turned and left off, cursing the Earl's name. She was the Noah of Love. Her name was Amber Tsuki. Her clear blue eyes could never show emotion to anyone, nor had she ever felt any emotion for people. Her cold, blue eyes could show was the death of a person when they looked into her eyes. Though that's what people think, they didn't know about her love for a certain Noah.

"I won't let that damn Earl do more to him… I'll need assistance to save him though… But who could help? No one would help a Noah, and those other Noah just follow the Earl like they're his lackeys…" Amber cursed under her breath.

Kesenai silently wrapped his exposed right arm back underneath his bandages. "So that was your Innocence?" Road looked up at him.

"Yes, I rarely ever use it. No one has seen it before, not even Lavi or anyone in the Black Order." Kesenai answered. "The reason I haven't used this Innocence is because I haven't found anyone worth it. Everyone I've fought were people that I could easily slice and kill with my sword. So the use of my Innocence was not needed, otherwise it would've been overkill for them." Kesenai looked at her.

"Wow… Amazing…" Road replied. Kesenai sheathed his sword and began to walk in the direction where the Akuma appeared. "Wait!" she ran up next to him.

Kesenai stopped and looked at her "Road, once you get me there, I want you to leave, please. I don't want to see you die." he warned her.

Road smiled "I know you're worried but don't worry."

Kesenai sighed "Alright then… But please try not to die."

Road nodded his head "I'll be sure to remain alive."

Kesenai smiled and began walking to where his death could possibly await.

After 2 hours of walking through the forest, Kesenai noted something strange, he noted that there were marks on the ground that showed a building used to be there, but now it wasn't "That's strange…." Kesenai looked around and then looked up at the sky to see a large building floating in mid-air. "So the Earl is doing this huh… Well now, that'll be the perfect place to kick his ass." Kesenai smirked. The building in the air appeared to be 30 feet in the air, 20 feet tall and 10 feet wide. Kesenai climbed up a tree and stood up on the top of the tree, close to the entrance door of the building. Kesenai jumped and landed in the entrance, rolling and quickly getting up on his feet. He looked at Road and told her "Jump! I'll catch you!" Road nodded her head and jumped as if she were going to tackle him and hug him. Kesenai opened his arms to embrace her. She ended up tackling him a few inches away and knocking him down on the ground. "Are you alright?" Kesenai asked Road.

Road smiled "Yes." Road rolled off of Kesenai and stood up. Kesenai got up as well.

"The hallway to the Devil's throne room…" Kesenai quietly said under his breath.

"Yeah… You came far… This is too far for you to want to turn back I'm going to guess." Road looked at Kesenai.

"Yes. That is correct." Kesenai began to walk down the hall, ready for the pits of hell that he would be entering soon.

--

At the end of the hall, Skinn awaited for Kesenai, eating a lollipop. Kesenai entered "And you are?" Kesenai asked.

"My name is Skinn Bolic, do you like sweets, Kesenai Tsumi?" Skinn said while eating his lollipop.

"No… I hate them. And how did you know my name?" Kesenai growled.

"Master Earl knew you were coming. He sent me here to greet you." Skinn smirked.

Kesenai smirked, holding the handle of his sword "Get ready for the fight of your life…" Kesenai was not only warning Skinn, but himself as well, knowing his opponent was a Noah.

"Oh don't worry, I don't even need to be prepared." Skinn's skin color changed to gray with 7 pitch black crosses running across his forehead (Like the other Noah of course)

--

Komui's eyes widened as he realized who the Noah had kidnapped. Immediately, he contacted Lenalee's Golem.

Lenalee picked up "Hello?"

"Put Allen on! Now!" Komui said. Lenalee handed the Golem over to Allen.

"Hello? What is it?" Allen asked.

"The Noah they kidnapped is very important! I need you to go to France, get Lavi, then go to Beijing China and find out where the Earl is based there. Once you find it, break in and rescue that Noah, that Noah is very different." Komui explained.

"Huh? Why?" Allen seemed confused.

"No time to explain, Allen. Just go and do what I said." Komui replied.

"Uh, okay." Allen hung up. Now, it was Allen, Lenalee, and Lavi's turn to join the battlefield.
