Chapter 11

Jasdevi fired a Red Bomb at Crowry, who dodged it and dashed towards them. Jasdevi barely avoided the bloody claws aimed at their heads. When they turned to spot him, Crowry was dangerously close, so they blocked him with the first thing that came to mind.

"Jasdevi's Hate!" The monster of blood and corpses rose and Crowry got stuck in its body for a second, before he managed to break free, just as Jasdevi tried to freeze him with a Blue Bomb. It missed him, but hit the monster, which immediately froze. Crowry took the opportunity and smashed it.

"Hey, no fair!" The twins shouted. Suddenly, Crowry was in between them and grabbed them by the throats.

"Everything is fair in a fight, you brats!" He called, his black eyes showing anger and annoyance. Suddenly, the twins grinned.

"If you say so." They called, before shouting "Red Bomb!" Crowry looked down and saw the gun barrels were both pointing at his chest.

"Oh crap!" He managed to call before a fireball engulfed him and knocked him away from the twins, who were snickering.

"Kuro-chan, Are you okay?" Lavi shouted, before the Tease Tyki held in his hand almost bit his nose off.

"Don't you think you should be more worried about yourself, hammer-boy?" He asked while sinking into the ground to avoid a hammer strike. Once it had harmlessly passed over his head, he used his now lower position to strike at Lavi's legs. Lavi managed to jump out of the way and used his hammer to strike a blow at Tyki. Tyki raised his Tease-shields and blocked, but the sheer force of the blow flung him out of the ground and into the air. There, he turned midair and shot towards Lavi like a bullet.

Lavi was prepared. "Level 2 activate. Konbo Ban: Gouraiten!" The giant serpent shot in the air and Tyki cursed. He aborted his charge and focused on evading the giant snake. But Lavi wasn't finished. "Hi Ban: Gouka Kaijin " Three flaming snakes shot towards Tyki.

Tyki rejected the air below him to create a vacuum and the fire-snakes vanished. "Good, but not good enough. Fire doesn't burn if there is no air." He mocked. Then he noticed the annoying brat had used another seal while he was distracted. Suddenly, Tyki was hit by a few obviously Innocence-caused lightning strikes and tumbled down to earth. He managed to catch himself a few feet before the ground. "Really, not bad."

Lenalee was busy dodging the blade-whips Lulubelle's arms had transformed to. Since they were aimed at her neck, there wasn't enough time to defend with her Innocence. Then she heard Lavi call her.

"Lenalee, you go after the other ones that ran away, there still might be an Akuma, or worse, a Noah among them! We'll hold these guys off. Go, you're the fastest!" Lenalee nodded and jumped.

"Oh no you don't!" Lulubelle called and her whip-hand wrapped itself around Lenalee's ankle. Lulubelle was about to pull her back down, when she suddenly screamed in pain. Lenalee's ankle was free and the girl dashed through the air, looking for the runaways, while Lulubelle fell to her knees holding her hand, which had returned to the form of her normal hand, in pain. Tyki and Jasdevi jumped beside her while Lavi and Crowry used the short break to catch their breath.

"Lulubelle, what's wrong? You sounded like you were..." Tyki grew silent as he saw what was wrong. Blue sparks were shooting over her hand, it looked like blue lightnings were jumping around on it. "What the hell is that?!" But he knew the answer. The Order had tried something on the Innocence, and whatever it was, it was working. This could mean trouble, especially if it worked on Akuma as well. The sparks were slowly disappearing, and Lulubelle could move her hand again. But still, if a second of intended contact did this much, how much damage would a full-blown kick do? Then he realized something. 'Shit, she's going after Allen!' He turned to his siblings.

"Lulubelle, can you fight?" Lulubelle nodded. "Okay, can you take the boy with the hammer? Jasdevi, you take the other one."

David nodded, but Jasdero asked "And what about you, Tyki?" Tyki looked serious.

"I'm going after the girl before she can seriously hurt Allen." They nodded.

"Let's do it!"

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CROW was talking to Levrier. "Yes, the girl's Innocence works even better than we hoped. But still, there are at least three Noah here, possibly more. They'll be overrun if they don't receive backup. Wait, one of the Noah is going after Lenalee Lee. I believe it's Tyki Mikk. Should the operation begin?"

"No." Levrier replied "There are too many Noah how might come to his aid, and we only have one try. I will send Harlequin, Nocturn and Kanda."

"So Kanda has returned already?"

"Indeed, and now prepare a gate for their arrival." Levrier ordered.

"Understood. I shall continue observation." The CROW replied.

"Do that. And inform me if anything unexpected happens."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Allen was pulling Luciano and Sophia by their wrists. While running, he turned to the two.

"We need a place to hide!" Luciano seemed to awaken from his shock. He used his free hand to point at an old building.

"We live there." Allen ran towards the building. But now Luciano was awake, he wanted answers. "What's going on? Why are these guys attacking us?"

"I'll explain later." They reached the entrance. Suddenly, he felt something in his left arm. He pushed the siblings forward. "Hide your sister and yourself, but in different locations, hurry!" With that he spun around, activated his Innocence and used his left arm to block a kick from above that was aimed at his head.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lenalee was certain that boy wasn't human. He had recovered from his shock of seeing things like her boots and Lavi's hammer appear from seemingly nothing, and more importantly, the Noah's transformation, much to quickly for a normal person. She had almost reached him, when something white covered him as he spun to face her and blocked her kick. She saw the boy's face, now Noah-gray, and she recognized the scar, even though it looked a little different. "Allen." she whispered. And then they both screamed in agony.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen somehow manged to rise his arm and throw Lenalee off, then the arm just hanged there, limp and covered in blue sparks up to the elbow. Lenalee was leaning on a fence, unable to use her right leg for support as it was covered in red sparks. They both ignored the pain and looked at each other. Lenalee spoke first.

"Allen, is it really you?" Allen smiled sadly.

"Yes, it's me. I forgot to tell you this, but thank you for saving my life. How have you been? How are the others?" Lenalee started to cry.

"Everyone's fine, but what are you doing? Why are you helping..." She couldn't finish. Was the Allen she knew really gone? Allen sighed.

"I'm not quite sure how I ended up here myself, but I don't want to hurt anyone. I don't want anyone to die because someone is too ruthless either." He sounded sincere.

"Allen, has anything changed since you became a Noah?" She asked, not knowing if she could take the answer.

Allen looked at his skin. "You mean besides the obvious stuff? No, I guess being Noah's compassion doesn't change you too much." Lenalee was relieved. Allen was still Allen. And from what she heard, Allen had gotten a piece of Noah's memories that hated sorrow and suffering, so he wouldn't turn into a monster. He would just be Allen. Her leg was fully functional, as was Allen's claw, so Lenalee asked one last question.

"Why are you after the Innocence?" Allen suddenly just knew there were people who were listening to their talk so he silently mouthed: Watchdog

Lenalee understood. At least one of the Noah here had come along to keep an eye on him so he couldn't help his friends. Then Tyki showed up.

"And here I was worried she might kill you, Allen. You two seem to get along just fine. You're a real ladies-man, aren't you?" Lenalee turned around. Was he a watchdog? But Allen just smiled.

"And you're pretty rude, to scare a lady like that." Tyki grinned and shrugged. Lenalee understood this man wasn't a watchdog, but they couldn't just wait here until he or she showed up and spotted them chatting instead of fighting. Tyki seemed to have similar thoughts.

"I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to fight you now, young lady. Should I kill you, please know it's nothing personal." He summoned a large Tease in each hand. Lenalee got ready for combat.

"The same message back to you with a thank-you note." She replied. Allen, who had backed towards the door, looked at the Tease.

"Tyki, have I ever mentioned that I hate these things and never want to see another one in my life?" Tyki grinned.

"I guess you can't find it in your heart to forgive them, eh Allen? But for now, how about you go talk to your friend?"

"Very funny, Tyki. I'm going, I'm going." And with that, Allen had vanished in the house and Lenalee and Tyki began their fight.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The CROW had seen everything, even though he didn't understand the words spoken. But he was no idiot, and there was only one white cape like that.

"We may have a problem." He informed his superior. Levrier was not pleased.

"What kind of problem? Reinforcements are almost there, they should be able to hold out until then."

"Sir, this is not about that, there is another Noah in the village. It's Allen Walker." Levrier cursed. He hadn't expected the boy to awaken this soon.

"Did he attack the exorcists?"

"No sir, he just blocked exorcist Lee's attack with his Innocence." Levrier didn't believe his ears.

"Are you telling me Allen Walker's Innocence is not only existent, but operational?" He had expected the Innocence to kill the boy, or at least that the Earl would destroy it before it could do that. How had this happened? Then something else hit him. "Wait, you said he blocked exorcist Lee's attack? Was there no backlash?"

"There was, and Walker seemed unable to move his hand," The CROW answered. Levrier sighed. At least he could be taken out. And who could have guessed the purer Innocence would paralyze Noah as well? But then the CROW added one word that was never good. "but..."

"But what?"

"While the backlash worked perfectly on the Noah that attacked Headquarters, when exorcist Lee attacked Walker, for some reason she received an equal backlash." That was not good news. Was there a problem with the Innocence?

"What is going on now?" The Crow calmly replied.

"After the initial attack, there was a moment of truce when they were simply talking, though I could not understand what they said. It's possible that was just a way to delay until they're weapons were usable again. Then the Noah Tyki showed up and he and exorcist Lee are currently fighting, while he is also receiving the backlashes, though this time there is no retaliation-backlash." Levrier nodded. If that was the case, then it was more likely that Walker's Noah powers, whatever they may be, were the reason for that abnormality. Then the CROW spoke once more.

"The gate has opened and I can see the Reinforcements swarming to the battlefield." Levrier smiled. Perhaps this could mean the end of another Noah.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lavi was practically hanging in the ropes when Jesaia appeared next to him. Lulubelle had taken on a liquid form and was immune to most of his attacks, while her solid whip-arms now looked more like a saw. There were short, serrated blades growing on all four sides of it and Lavi was certain that if that thing wrapped itself around a limb and was pulled back, it would slice the limb off like a twig. Worst of all, Lavi could hardly fight back. His fire-based attacks still worked, but Lavi literally just didn't have enough firepower. But with Jesaia here, that had changed.

"Where were you? I could have really used your help. what were you doing while I was risking my ass, taking a nap?" Lavi greeted, but he was grinning.

Jesaia was also grinning."Well, I'm here now. And is it my fault you're such a wimp? WOW, that was close!" One of Lulubelle's whips had barely missed his head. Ifrit was activated and Jesaia locked his hands together above his head. The flames grew and Jesaia brought them down, as if hitting someone in front of him. He shouted "Inferno Hammer!" and a pillar of flames shot forward and hit Lulubelle square in the chest. Almost half of the water evaporated while Lulubelle cried out in pain. Then, Valkyrie was standing behind Lavi and Jesaia.

"I will support. Innocence activate, Divine." she stated in her usual voice and a small transverse flute appeared in her hands. She raised it to her lips. "Level 2 activate: Melody of Hephaestus"

Jesaia suddenly felt a power surge and Lavi noticed it as well, though not as powerful. Even though Lulubelle didn't notice any change, she was careful and tried to withdraw, but Jesaia would not let this end so soon. He was pissed because Levrier had shouted at him and this weird water-metal-creature seemed like the perfect thing to vent his anger on. He turned around and slammed his fists into the ground.

"Ifrit Prison!" The fire from his hands shot sideways with a slight bend and as they united behind Lulubelle, they had formed a circle. That circle then shot its flames towards the sky and Lavi, Valkyrie, Jesaia and Lulubelle were trapped in an orb of fire. Jesaia turned to the Noah-monster.

"Thanks to the boost Val gave me, we're all trapped in here for twenty minutes before the flames go out and during that time, not even I can leave here that easily, so let's continue." He knew that thanks to Val's boost, both his and Lavi's flame-based attacks would be at least four times as powerful as normal, so their chances for victory were better than ever.

Then Lulubelle turned back into her normal form and Jesaia whistled. She was HOT! But her smile was kinda creepy.

"Thank you for this information, but I don't have that much time." With that, Lulubelle turned, ran towards the wall of fire and jumped. Just before she reached it, her body turned to steel and she passed the blazing barrier unharmed. Jesaia cursed.

"Shit, she suckered us!" Lavi looked at him.

"Can't you undo this?" Jesaia didn't look at him.

"Normally yes, but these boosted flames are more difficult to control. It could take up to five minutes to form a safe passage for us."

"Then you better get going." Lavi advised. Jesaia turned to the flames and focused.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, Jasdevi was having trouble facing off against both Crowry and Kanda. They were hard to hit and dangerous as hell. David just barely dodged Kanda's blade.

"Che, hold still!" But David was looking at his hair. Kanda had severed a few strands.

"He cut my hair! I hate him!" Jasdero turned his eyes towards his sibling.

"Shut up! We have bigger trouble right now!" And he was right. Both Kanda and Crowry had used the opportunity to dash at them. The twins shouted "The Earl from when he was laughing but really pissed!" and their memory of the Earl appeared, slashing his sword at the exorcists. Kanda blocked, but was thrown back by the force of the strike while Crowry, already familiar with the phantom's strength, simply dodged. Jasdevi used this chance to fire at will.

"This is like shooting fish in a barrel!" Jasdero laughed, as the exorcists couldn't retaliate because of the fake Earl. Then Kanda found a gap in the defense and fired his Hells Insects at them. David got a scratch on the arm, but that was all it needed. The concentration was broken and the Earl froze for a second while Crowry and Kanda dashed in for the kill. Jasdevi retreated and Jasdero mocked Crowry.

"What's wrong, why don't you strengthen yourself, you vampire monster? Could it be you're out of blood?"

"You should be more worried about me." A voice behind them said. As they turned around, they saw Kanda had managed to get behind them, Nigentou activated. Then he used his two blades to slash at the twins.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"It appears both Mikk and exorcist Lee have entered the building to get the Innocence." The CROW informed Levrier. Lenalee had used the paralysis she caused Noah to suddenly rush into the building, which was, even though abandoned, one of the bigger houses of the village. Not that it still wasn't small, but there would be a few hiding places and the CROW had heard that there was a large cellar. The Noah had immediately disappeared, but it was more than likely he was also going for the Innocence. Now the only question was, who would find it first and who would get it in the end.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen had found Luciano and was forced to explain. While he left out some key details, he summed the basic story up in a nutshell.

"So let me get this straight." Luciano said after Allen had finished "There is a war going on with mankind at stake. Dead people called back by loved ones are being used as weapons." Allen nodded. "And there is this stuff called Innocence, which is the only weapon that works against these soldiers, but it somehow got spread over the world. Only special people can use it and your coat and claw-arm are made of that stuff and you think my bracelet is Innocence and I'm one of those special people as well, right?" Allen sighed.

"You must think I'm crazy." Luciano nodded.

"You're British, of course you're crazy. If you would have told me this yesterday, I would have laughed at you, but after all I've seen today, this story makes about as much sense as anything else that has happened." Allen grinned as well, even though this cellar wasn't exactly an amusing place. Then Luciano looked at Allen. "So how can I activate this so we can beat the bad guys?"

Suddenly, Tyki phased through the floor and was standing behind Luciano, a large Tease in his hand.

"What makes you think we're the good guys?" He asked while he put the Tease in Luciano's chest. Just like with Allen, the Tease bit a hole in the boy's heart and this time his lungs as well and Luciano collapsed, a surprised expression still etched on his face as blood started to pour from his mouth.

Tyki looked at Allen, who had caught Luciano and was simply staring in shock. "I'm sorry, but there was no other choice." Allen stared at him and he nodded to his left. There was Lulubelle, standing and observing what had happened. A moment later, Lenalee appeared with a cry of rage and sorrow and kicked Lulubelle through the ceiling. She seemed enraged when she turned to Tyki, tears for the boy on her face. Tyki sighed.

"I didn't want to do this, but I have no choice." He took off his gloves and opened his collar. He turned to Allen, who was still holding Luciano, tears on his face as well. "Take care of the Innocence, or the Earl will kill you!" He advised. Stigmata appeared on the revealed skin and a moment later, Tyki had turned into his demon-knight form and smashed into Lenalee, dragging her through the roof and disappearing from Allen's sight.

Allen just sat there, looking at the once so lively boy, now broken. He activated Crown Clown, even though he didn't really know why, and reached for the bracelet. His claws sunk in the crystal, as if he had put his hand through the surface of a small pond. He felt something hard and pulled it out. He held the Innocence in his clawed hand. The once green crystal in the bracelet turned to a dim gray.

"Impressive." The musician stated "But I doubt you'll be able to do that with as long as the contractor of the Innocence still has strength left in him." Allen didn't care. He just looked at the Innocence. 'Because of this little thing Luciano lost his life. Without any real reason, just because he had it. It's not fair. It's not right. This shouldn't have happened to you, Luciano. I'm sorry I couldn't help you.' He thought while crying. Then he clenched his left hand that was still holding the Innocence to a fist. Allen heard a cracking noise and a bright red light shone from his hand. Then it was over. Allen opened his hand, suddenly feeling a bit exhausted. The Innocence was still laying there, but it had changed. Allen suddenly knew it had become similar to his Crown Clown. Not like it, just similar. He stood up and looked at Luciano.

Surprisingly, the boy was still alive. Some immense force of will was keeping his destroyed heart pumping and forcing his lungs to do something they no longer could, but Allen knew the boy was just delaying the inevitable. In less than two minutes at most, Luciano de Fuego would be dead. If only Allen could somehow save him. And then something clicked in Allen's mind.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

From one of the freshly made holes in the ceiling of the cellar, Sophia was watching. She hadn't seen what had happened, but she could see her brother laying there, blood flowing from his mouth and his gaze growing dim. She could see the other boy, Allen, crying while looking at her brother. This couldn't be true. She had prayed to god everyday for her brother's safety. Why had he abandoned them? Then she saw Allen seemed to try and do something, as he kneeled besides her brother. She wished with all her heart that it worked, even if she would have to sell her soul to make it work!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

When Kanda had tried to slash the twins, that fake Earl had deflected the blow and pushed him back. The twins sighed in relief.

"That was too close." David said and Jasdero nodded. Then the noticed something to their right, close to that weird fireball on the ground. They pointed their guns at it and fired five Blue Bombs at it. Those five shots, somehow a bit weaker than they should be, collided with a pillar of fire and they canceled each other out. The twins saw that three more exorcists were storming at them. Five against two, this was not looking good. Just as the five, well four, the black haired girl was just standing in the background, exorcists were about to attack, an explosion took everyone's attention. They could see Lenalee fighting some armored creature that didn't seem bothered by the amount of blue sparks covering it. The twins reacted first. They pointed their guns at each other and shot. By the time the exorcists regained their focus, they were facing the Noah of Bonds, Jasdevi.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"I believe we are seeing the armored form of Tyki Mikk that was mentioned in a few reports, and it seems to be somewhat resistant to the backlashes of the Crystal Boots. Also, those two Noah that were always together have merged and are causing a lot of damage to the other exorcists."

"That's not good." Levrier stated. This was the second Noah had shown some sort of resistance to their main weapon against them. "What about the Innocence?" The CROW hesitated.

"I apologize sir, but it is fairly safe to assume that it has been destroyed by now."

Levrier nodded. Even if the Innocence wasn't destroyed yet, they were not prepared to fight two Noah in their ultimate forms. "Order a retreat, there is nothing we can do now. We will go through the footage the golems gathered and we might find a few weaknesses we can use. But for now, we don't have enough information. It's a shame exorcist Lee couldn't have receive her own golem before she had entered the house, I would have liked to hear her discussion with the Noah, but we still might get some information, as long as we get the golems before they are destroyed."

The CROW nodded and gave a retreat order through the wireless golems.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen spoke to the barely-living Luciano, unaware that both Sophia and Lulubelle were watching him.

"Luciano, I know you can hear me, so listen closely. You have two choices. You can die here peacefully as a human, or we can make a pact that might save your life, but turn you into an enemy of mankind. What do you choose?" In the back of his mind, Allen wondered what was going on. He knew this would work, but how could it?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen's words had reached Luciano even in his world of sheer agony. He didn't care about mankind, he would not leave his sister alone. With all his strength, he raised his arm as high as he could, asking Allen to seal the contract. 'I will sell my soul to the devil, as long as I don't have to abandon my sister like this!' He thought, before a wave of unbelievable pain emanated from his forehead.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen saw Luciano's right hand raising half a foot, and shook it with his right. Then he put his index-claw, Crown Clown was still activated, on Luciano's forehead. For a second, nothing happened, then four small pillars shot over Luciano's forehead, one left, one right, one up and one down. When they stopped moving, Allen was holding his claw in the center of a stigmata. The gray skin-tone spread over Luciano's body in seconds, mending his heart and lungs and even replacing the lost blood. Then Luciano opened his golden eyes and stood up. On first sight, one would thought him an ordinary Noah, but a second glance revealed that while Noah' stigmata formed a sort of crown on their heads, Luciano only had the one stigmata Allen created.

Lulubelle was surprised, to say the least. She didn't expect this to happen. What was Allen Walker's power? Then, he turned to her and threw something.

"Catch!" He shouted and Lulubelle grabbed it out of the air. When she saw what it was, she almost dropped it. It was Innocence! But then she noticed the usual uncomfortable feeling she had when she touched Innocence wasn't there. She threw it back to him.

"I will go ahead and report to the Earl, you help Jasdevi to calm down Tyki, then you'll follow." Allen nodded and ran up the stairs while Lulubelle somehow vanished. Luciano followed Allen, still not sure what was going on.

On the top of the staircase, Allen ran into Sophia. She didn't give him time to say anything.

"I'm coming with you. I've seen what you did to my brother, but you can't just take him away from me like this. I heard what you said about that pact, humanity can go to hell for all I care, just don't take my brother from me!"Her voice had become shaky and Allen knew she was begging him to not just vanish with her brother.

"I don't think you can convince her to leave, she's determined." The musician said and Allen agreed. He sighed and raised his left hand. Sophia shook it and the gray crawled up her arm and formed that single stigmata on her forehead. Then they left to stop Tyki.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The exorcists had retreated trough their gate and Jasdevi's only problem was to stop Tyki without hurting him. Tyki had flung him into buildings twice and seemed to get ready to do it a third time when something white shot up and restricted Tyki's movement. Jasdevi saw that Allen had wrapped Tyki up in Clown Belt and quickly reinforced it with some of his hair. Then they dragged him through their gate, Jasdevi hardly noticing the two children that followed them.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Earl was not pleased. After he had awoken Tyki, he turned to Allen.

"Lulubelle told me some interesting things, Allen, but we'll discuss that tomorrow. For now, you and those two go to your room and stay there, you'll be watched by an Akuma."

Allen had received a punch to the stomach by Tyki and was equally upset. "What, now you'll send a Level 7 as my watchdog?" The Earl sighed.

"I'd love to, but there are no Akuma above Level 4, so that's what you get. I've tried to raise their Level, but it didn't work." Allen was curious.

"Why not?"

The Earl sighed. "You've seen the soul of a Level 4, right?" Allen nodded. It was the most horrible thing he had ever seen. "Trying to go any further leads to the soul getting lost in the dark and the Akuma turning into a useless, fragile lump of Dark-Matter that breaks when it comes in contact with Innocence. It just doesn't work. Now leave."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen had been locked away for hours, the Level 4 guarding the exit. He had activated Crown Clown and hid in the cape. Then Luciano spoke.

"So, we're now on the side of evil, trying to eliminate mankind, huh?" Allen smiled sadly.

"Our pact made you mankind's enemy, I never said mankind was yours. Personally, I don't like the idea of destroying humanity that much, which is why we're locked in here." Luciano raised a brow.

"So, who was the fat marshmallow with the hat?" Allen grinned.

"You were observing the Millennium Earl, leader of this war against humanity and the one who makes those deals were people call their loved ones back and get killed by them."

"Sounds like he's a pretty big asshole." Luciano stated.

"Though you should refrain from calling him either of those names when he's around, he's much more powerful than you'll ever be." Luciano wasn't convinced.

"And you know that because...?"

"Because I have fought him if you must know." They both stared at him. Sophia spoke first.

"So, you were once one of the good guys?" Allen didn't look at her.

"Yup, that's right. In fact, had you told me I'd be sitting here a few weeks ago, I would have laughed you in the face. Things change pretty quickly, don't they?" Sophia seemed shocked.

"What happened?" Allen sighed.

"Well, long story short, one of the "good guys" ordered my execution, buddies got me out in time, Tyki, you know him," Allen pointed at Luciano, who's face darkened "found me and brought me here. That's it in a nutshell." Luciano was confused.

"Why didn't you fight back?" Allen looked at him.

"How did it feel when you became what you are now?" Luciano thought about it for a minute, then he answered.

"It was by far the most painful thing I have ever experienced, why?" Sophia nodded. It had hurt like nothing she had ever felt and she never wanted to feel like that again. Ever.

"Now imagine it was twice as bad, and would last days, not seconds. Are you still wondering why I didn't fight back?" The siblings had paled and shook there heads in unison. A few seconds had driven them to the edge of madness. They could imagine bearing that pain for minutes, let alone days.

Then Luciano remembered something. "By the way, even though I'm grateful that you've saved my life and see nothing wrong with serving under you, don't expect me to crawl before your feet, got that?" Allen grinned.

"No Irishman will ever kneel to a Brit unless you blast off his kneecaps, huh?" Both Luciano and Sophia grinned as well.

"Ah, so you know. Great, then we'll get along just fine. But, what is going to happen now?" It was a good question. But Allen had so few answers.

"Well, I'm going to get chewed out for not killing you when I had the chance, then we'll decide what will happen to you two." When he saw their nervous expressions, he smiled and added "Don't worry, I doubt you'll get killed, in fact, Luciano here might become some sort of leader of the infantry, if he can keep this Innocence." Allen pulled the Innocence out of his pocket and Luciano looked at his bracelet.

"You better know how to put that back in. I don't care about the color the gem will get, as long as it isn't that dead gray. Have you no respect for mementos?" Allen raised his hands in defense at the boy's sudden outburst.

"Hey, I thought you'd die and didn't need it anymore. And don't worry, I'm pretty sure it's reversible." Luciano sighed in relief.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lenalee used the few minutes they were not under observation and whispered to Lavi and Crowry

"Later, let's meet in the infirmary, Miranda and Timothy should hear this as well. It's about Allen."

The two immediately nodded in agreement. This sounded like good news, or at least, not like bad news.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Allen was getting bored. He knew it was only a matter of time before Road ditched Cyril and showed up here, but if that was a good thing he wasn't sure. If only he could go outside, but the Akuma at the door made that impossible. He sighed and looked to the Level 4. Suddenly it clicked in his head again. Faster than he himself had thought possible Allen had stood up, reached the Akuma and put his index-claw on the tip of the lowest part of the star on the Akuma's forehead. He made a small, half-circle motion upwards and to his surprise, the star turned with his finger. Allen could feel something going over to the Akuma as the 'living' weapon of mass destruction started to twitch and bend while Allen's finger seemed glued to the shape-shifting lump. The siblings looked up in interest. Allen activated his eye and was astonished at what he was seeing. White sparks coming from his arm were covering the soul of the Akuma and somehow carving away the darkness that surrounded it. It started looked like a man with long hair when the soul merged with the lump. It seemed to reorganize itself and then a man was kneeling in front of Allen. He had long black hair and snow-white skin. His Irises were white and where a normal humans eyes would be white, his were black. He was muscled and bare-chested, but the most remarkable thing where the two blood-red angel wings on the man's back. They were also the only part of him that had any color. Allen gulped.

"Who are you?" The creature looked at him and opened his mouth. His teeth were black and his tongue was white.

"I am Level 5"

And chapter 11 is done! Longest one yet, exactly 6000 words of story, I got carried away. Don't expect them to always be this long, they won't. I guess I need to explain a few things.

1. Allen can't make Noah, I'll give more details next chapter. He won't use this to raise an army, I've planned one more use, maybe two. Also, anyone have an idea about Allen's power?

2. About Valkyrie's Innocence: I called it Divine because it uses the power of deities through the songs. Hephaestus is the Greek god of fire, in case anyone cares. She can use other deities than Greek ones, but since we just did them in school, I'm gonna use quite a few of them. Valkyrie's Innocence has 3 Levels. In the first Level, she simply says the name of the god. This is the weakest. In the second Level she plays the Melody of the god, which is much stronger. And the third Level... Well, you'll see. Some powers only work on higher levels. The flute's end looks kinda like this: __/\/ I say this because I'll use that later on. So tell me, How do you like it? Is her's or Jesaia's better? How am I doing at creating powers?

3. Is there anything you would like to see in this fic? Again, I can't guarantee it will happen, but I'll try.

4. How did you like the battle? Was it okay? What can I do better?

5. Is there anything in this chapter or my story in general you especially liked/found interesting/really hated/or just want to say? If yes, what?

I thank you for reading my story and I hope I don't sound rude when I say I would like to have at least 4-5 reviews for this chapter, I've worked pretty hard to get it done. By the way, point 5 is really just where you write your own opinion and whatever comes to mind, so I look forward to that. Reviews, constructive criticism and ideas are more than welcome, they show that people care.
