Chapter 5: Allen and Jason VS. Level 4
Since I took too long to update the last chapter, I'll try to do it more equitably with this and my other story, also because I have two special surprises planned for the next chapter of 'What Happens Next'.
You know I hope you like it.
Disclaimer:
I sadly don't own D-Gray Man, and can anyone tell me what does 'D-Gray Man' stands for?
I never knew that, some pages say it's a reference to some alchemist but no idea.
Anyway on with the chapter.
"Ready Jason?".
"ALWAYS".
"So two more exorcists". The level 4 said seeming amused. "More to kill". And with that it started to charge a dark matter ray, Allen and Jason quickly moved to opposite sides before lunging at the same time against it, after seeing this the level 4 stopped the charge to block both Allen is claw and Jason is axe with one hand each but they applied more power to the attack trying to force the akuma away, this made a quick move to deflect Jason is axe and then moved that arm to hit Allen, but he saw that coming and jumped avoiding the attack before grabbing the akuma is hand in mid air and covering it with his cape.
"Jason". Allen said and this was already moving Damnation towards the akuma making a cut on one of its legs making it jump back.
"Not bad exorcists". The akuma said covering its hands with dark matter. "Let's play a little more". And with that it quickly move towards them and they had to stop one hand each to resist the attack, they were managing to hold the level 4 when Allen moved his cape attempting to hit the akuma is head with it but this moved it to one side before moving its right leg hitting Allen in the stomach leaving him without air and making the power in his claw to stop holding its arm so the akuma used it to hit Allen in the face sending him flying towards a wall and after that using its right leg to so the same with Jason.
"Allen-kun, Jason". Lenalee called to them after moving towards Madison to check on her.
"That was all?". The level 4 asked with an amused grin. "You were really weak, I think I'm gonna kill the two women first". And with that it started to move towards them.
"Lenalee". Madison called to her. "Run". Lenalee is eyes widen after hearing this before she yelled.
"WHAT ARE YOU SAYING OF COURSE I WON'T DO THAT".
"IF YOU DON'T DO THAT THEN WE BOTH ARE GONNA DIE, JUST ESCAPE".
"Don't worry". The akuma called to them its hands already covered in dark matter. "I'll kill you both so you don't have to argue". And with that it lunged towards them, both clenched their teeth waiting for the attack but this never came.
"Where are you looking?". Allen asked blocking one of the arms with a large broadsword with a white cross emblazoned on the faces of the blade.
"WE ARE YOUR OPPONENTS". Jason said blocking the other arm with his axe.
"Ehh, so you are still alive". The akuma said before trying to repeat the same as before but this time Allen stopped the clash to jump and then made a downward slash taking it out of balance, Jason took the opportunity to cut its chest with Damnation and then both turn on the place using the momentum to once again hit the akuma this time making it hit a wall.
Lenalee and Madison watched in disbelief how they made it fall back like that. "Sugoi". They said in unison.
"DAMN EXORCISTS". The akuma yelled from the wall before quickly shooting a dark matter ray towards them.
"Jason". Allen said.
"LEAVE IT TO ME". He said back before the attack impacted on them making a great amount of dust, and once it settled there was no trace of any of the four.
"Finally, they die". The akuma said regaining its calm from before.
"WHERE ARE YOU LOOKING?". Jason yelled before he and Allen quickly fall from the sky while Lenalee and Madison were as quickly as possible placed on the ground avoiding to hurt them, the level 4 placed its left arm to try and stop the attack but Allen and Jason focused on one point of the arm both cutting there separating the arm from the rest of its body, the akuma didn't wasted time and quickly moved its left leg to hit Jason in the stomach this time leaving him without air and then hit Allen right on the face with its remaining arm sending them to opposite walls.
"YOU DAMN EXORCISTS". The level 4 yelled before moving quickly towards Allen then both started to quickly exchange blows although it was clear the level 4 had the advantage, just when the akuma was about to hit Allen again with its hand Jason appeared from behind forcing it to block his axe instead of hitting Allen, after that the akuma was forced to start and exchange blows with both Allen and Jason as they seemed to be perfectly synchronizing their attacks, Allen made an attempt to cut the akuma that this blocked but just as quickly Jason slashed its chest making it flinch before it moved its right leg to hit Jason straight in the face but this time Allen blocked it with his sword and Jason jumped above him to move Damnation once again cutting it this time making it fall back a little chance that Allen took to quickly move in front of the level 4.
"CROSS GRAVE". He yelled cutting its right leg, before him and Jason returned to exchange blows with it again synchronizing their attacks to guard each other as they attack, in one opportunity they saw an opening on the akuma is defense and they both made a stab again making it hit a wall but this time also making it pass through it and into the building.
"-Pant- Do you think that was enough?". Jason asked apparently tired.
"It wasn't". Allen responded also tired after seeing the akuma lunge towards them and the exchange of blows resumed although this time it seemed the akuma had the advantage, after a while of hitting each other the akuma managed to send them both back.
"DIE NOW EXORCIST". The level 4 yelled as it fired a giant dark matter ray towards Jason.
"Watch out". Allen said moving Jason out of the way and receiving the attack the impact making more smoke appear.
"Are they okay?". Madison asked slightly recovered from the akuma is first blow and watching at the place where the akuma attacked.
"I don't know". Lenalee answered before the smoke settled and both flinched at what they saw, Jason was in the ground with the akuma over him reading its arm for the final blow and Allen was nowhere in sight. "You aren't so strong now huh, exorcist". It said seeming amused but then Jason started to laugh.
"HAHAHAHA, you really thought you beat us with that?". The akuma as well as Lenalee and Madison looked confused before Jason yelled. "DAMNATION GRAVITY TIMES 50". As he yelled that a green light appeared in the sky as it quickly moved towards the akuma and then a sword impaled through both the akuma and Jason as Allen was holding the hilt.
"What?". The akuma wondered as Jason moved Damnation against the akuma before both he and Allen slashed it apart finally destroying it, the explosion blocking everyone is sight for a moment.
"What?". Lenalee and Madison said wondering if they really saw Allen cutting Jason along with the akuma, not to mention moving his sword afterwards slashing both of them apart. After the explosion settled both ran towards where Allen and Jason were, and after the smoke dispersed they saw them Allen sitting while Jason was lying in the ground neither of them with their Innocence activated
Allen saw them approaching and smiled. "Are you o-". He was interrupted by a slap from Lenalee who then yelled to him.
"BAKA WHAT DID YOU DO, YOU JUST KILLED JASON".
"Hey I'm still alive". Jason said looking up leaving a surprised Lenalee and Madison as there didn't seemed to be any wound. "Why did you thought I had died?".
"B-But we saw Allen impale through you with his sword". Madison stuttered making Jason make a grin.
"Allen is sword can't hurt humans". Jason said calmly making Lenalee and Madison even more surprised before they both looked at Allen who was rubbing his cheek where Lenalee had slapped him.
"Do I really seem to be the kind of person that will kill at cold blood?". Allen asked with a small smile still sitting.
"S-Sorry". Madison apologized first. "I guess we just keep jumping to conclusions". She said this making a slight bow.
"It's okay". Allen answered stopping to rub his cheek. "If I see someone stabbing someone else I would have thought the same". After he said this Madison raised her head and went to help Jason, while Lenalee had her head down not moving from the place. "Lenalee". Allen called to her. "It really is okay, it doesn't even hurt". After he said this she dropped to her knees to be at eye level with him, Allen saw her with a confused look before she placed her hand in the place where she slapped him before.
"Sorry". She said looking at him with an apologetic smile and starting to move her hand caressing his cheek making him a little red in the face.
"A-As I-I said its okay so don't worry". Allen said to her but not moving from his position.
"And you say I flirt with everyone?". Jason asked with a chuckle making Lenalee realized her actions and stop with a blush of her own before both stood up. "I thought you said you didn't had your eye on anyone". He said this with a large grin.
"Urusai". Allen said while everyone started to walk away, they walked for a while before Allen broke the silence. "By the way how is it that no one was around?". Allen asked after realizing that during the whole fight no policeman or firefighters appear.
"That's because all of them receive a notification when there are akumas involved and are instructed to just evacuate the people under some excuse". Madison explained.
"That's useful". Jason said to all that. (Side note: To make things simple almost all kind of public worker are finders in this fic).
"By the way, Allen-kun". Lenalee called to him. "Where did you got that sword from?".
"Oh, my arm turns into a sword when I pass the critical point". Allen explained with all naturalness when Madison and Lenalee said in unison.
"What?". And then Lenalee asked. "You are able to pass the critical point?!".
"Yeah, I can do that for a while now". Allen responded still looking calm.
"How is it that they didn't made you a general?!". This time Madison asked.
"We have no idea". Jason answered this time. "By the way Allen, is weird to see a level 4 appear out of nowhere".
"Yeah, maybe one of them is involved". Allen said.
"Maybe it was the Noah of dreams". Jason said with a grin making Allen let out a heavy sigh.
"I really hope it's not her". Allen answered.
"Wait, you mean the Noah?". Madison asked and both nodded.
"You had fought them?". This time Lenalee asked.
"Yeah, Allen here has several Noah wanting his head". Jason said with all naturalness.
"Why?". They asked in unison.
"He cheated in cards with one, our master made two of them pay some of his debts and now they want Allen to pay for them, and one of the Noah wants Allen all to herself". Jason answered raising a finger for each one making a wide grin while explaining.
After that they kept walking talking about random stuff when Madison asked.
"How is it that you can fight like that against a level 4?". Allen and Jason looked at each other before Allen responded.
"Experience I guess, we have been doing nothing but fight akumas for several years".
"Didn't the general you were assigned with send you to a school?". This time Lenalee asked, making a depressed aura appear around both of them.
"Our master wasn't the type to expend money in anything that didn't made him had a good time". Jason answered.
"And taking care of us wasn't one of those things". Allen finished.
"Even so I guess he trained you well". Madison said. "And how is it that we were floating?".
"My Innocence can control gravity". Jason answered, after that they kept walking until it was time to split ways.
With Allen and Jason.
"I really hope the Noah aren't here". Allen said while they walked home.
"Who knows but I'm happy you know". Jason asked with a wide grin.
"Why?". Allen asked not sure if he should.
"Because you finally got a girlfriend". Allen is face went red before he quickly hit Jason is ribs.
"It's not like that". He said and they kept walking.
With Lenalee and Madison.
After they had split ways with Allen and Jason they came back since all the things they had bought were ruined with the attack.
"I guess now we also have to make some for Jason as thanks". Madison said to Lenalee who nodded. "Also Lenalee, do you like Allen?". Lenalee is face went red.
"N-NO, WH-WHY DO YOU ASK THAT?".
"Because of what you did after the battle was over".
"That was just to apologies for slapping him".
"Okay, then I won't say anything else". And with that they kept walking to buy what they needed.
Here I will end it.
I know I made this chapter a little too centered in Allen and Jason but the next one should be more balanced.
As always reviews are welcomed, and I hope you liked the chapter.
Until next update.
