Chapter 63- Betrayal- Allen

Our mission was pretty simple- destroy all of the akuma outside a little town in Europe. We had an Ark gate that connected to that place.

The moment we all stepped out of the gate, we were attacked by akuma.

"It's time to show me what you can do, Lane," General Socalo said.

Arisa smiled. "Bring it on, akuma!"

The creatures went down easily with the amount of power we had. I knew that Kanda, General Socalo, and Lenalee were all really strong, but I was surprised with Arisa's strength. She was incinerating akuma by groups of four or five using lightning.

The battle was over quickly. We all gathered in a group, breathing hard. Thankfully, no one was hurt.

"That was pretty impressive," A voice said behind me. I turned to see the Fourteenth standing on a roof, smiling.

"Stop being a coward, Nea," I said. "Come on down here and fight."

Nea smiled. "It seems kind of unfair. I mean, there are five of you, and only one of me. Allen, doesn't that seem unfair?"

I gripped my sword tighter. Suddenly, Arisa yelped, and jumped back just before something hit her.

Davi stood, smiling smugly. "Hello there, Arisa."

"Hello, Davi," Arisa said through gritted teeth. She jumped back as Jasdero attacked her.

"She's mine, Bro," Davi said. "You take the other girl."

Jasdero smiled, and turned to Lenalee. In moments, the Noahs and the girls were gone. I could hear fighting in the distance, but the sound kept getting quieter and quieter.

Soon, Kanda and the general were both taken away in separate fights. I didn't know which Noahs they were fighting, though,

I turned back to Nea, who was now on the ground. "It's amazing how a simple threat can make people bend to your will."

I ran towards him, ready to attack, but he just did a back flip into the air, and landed on a lamppost. "I'm not going to be your opponent, Allen Walker. My time to fight has not yet come."

"Then who-" I was cut off by the thing that flew pat my head, barely missing me. It was so fast I could barely see it. I heard a strange noise from behind me, and ducked just as the thing flew over me.

I looked up to see that someone caught it. Mostly a black cloak and shadows hid him, making it impossible to see his face.

"Who are you?" I asked.

The person didn't answer. He just attacked again, this time, running towards me. He was fast, and it was hard to see where he was while he was weaving in and out of the shadows. Within seconds, he was on me. I swung my sword at him, and he dodged.

His hood flew off his head, and I got my first good look at his face. He was slightly tan skin with brown hair and dark eyes. He moved too fast for me to make out any other detail.

"Allen!" I heard Lenalee yell. The guy jumped back, away from me, and we both turned to see Lenalee, Kanda, and Arisa running towards us. They all stopped as they saw my opponent.

I looked back at him, and noticed that his eyes were full of fear and guilt.

"I thought you said the others would keep them occupied," He said.

Nea shrugged. "I thought they would. I guess you can underestimate their abilities while fighting exorcists."

The guy looked back at Lenalee and the others. He then looked at the ground, then back at them. He seemed flustered and embarrassed.

"Hi, guys," He said, smiling weakly.

"This makes no sense," Arisa muttered. "How…?"

Lenalee covered her mouth, and took a step back. She was violently shaking her head. "This can't be true. It has to be a trick!"

"It isn't," Nea said. He was smiling like the mad man he really was. "Allen Walker, I'd like you to meet your former comrade. This is Daisya Berry."
