Chapter 9: Allen the Noah
Okay, now I will like to say good bye to all of you great people who read, because if I'm actually updating this fic this quickly then the world is ending soon.
Enjoy while you wait for it, haha.
Disclaimer: No, I don't own D-Gray Man but if the author dies before me on the apocalypse I might be able to claim it.
After the white figure destroyed the akuma, Lenalee realized it was actually Allen, but she didn't have too much time to think when another akuma lunged at them.
"Watc-". She started to say but when she realized Allen was no longer there, she heard a clash from where the akuma was and looked, but what she saw shocked her.
Before that.
Allen and Jason had been fighting a two against two fight with their akumas, managing to keep up with their power by using both their weapons to deflect one's attacks to then repeat the same on the other one, they kept doing this for a while until one of the level 4s didn't allow them to deflect its fist, and the other one took the chance to kick Allen in the side, making him crash into Jason and send both towards a wall.
"Damn it". Jason cursed under his breath while getting out of the debris. "Hey Allen".
"What?" Allen asked after he got himself out of the debris.
"I know you don't like to use that…" Jason started looking apologetically. "…but under this circumstances".
Allen seemed to think for a moment and then sighed with a sad smile. "They already know so there is no point in hiding it". With that he lowered his sword and closed his eyes.
"Heh, is the exorcist so afraid he closed his eyes". One of the level 4s mocked while lunging towards them.
"-Smirk- You're the one who is gonna be afraid". Jason said just before Allen opened his eyes and the level 4 froze in place looking at him.
"Hey what are you doing?" The other level 4 asked when the one that was lunging said.
"N-N-N-Noah-sama". The level 4 stuttered, but before it could even realize what was happening, Allen disappeared from sight to then reappear above the akuma.
"Jason". Allen called to him.
"On it". His axe started to glow and then he yelled. "TAKE THIS, TIMES 50".
With that Allen started to quickly fall towards the akuma that was still too shocked to react, and impaled him to then yell,
"CROSS GRAVE". The cross pattern appeared in the level 4 that exploded when Allen removed his sword.
"Tem-". The other level 4 started to say but the same as the first it froze. "W-Why do you have those eyes and stigmas?!" It asked utterly shocked but instead of a reply, Allen appeared at its side to hit its arm with the sword, making a large cut in it.
"That's his Noah mode". Jason said appearing behind the akuma to then hit on the same spot Allen damaged on the akuma's arm, this time cutting it off. "Or did you think he couldn't control it?"
Just as he finished saying that Allen lunged towards the akuma forcing it to place its remaining arm in the middle, making sparks fly from the impact.
"It doesn't matter; you won't beat me with a simple attack like that!" The level 4 said but Allen just grinned.
"And who said I'm the one who was gonna beat you?"
"I'm here too". Jason said while moving his axe, impacting the akuma's neck, and applying pressure, trying to cut it down while Allen stopped his movement, thanks to their clashing attacks.
"D-Damn you EXORCISTS". Was the last thing the akuma said before Jason's axe finally cut off the head, making it explode along with the body.
"-Pant- Finally". Allen said resting for a second but he then heard something being thrown towards a wall, and looked in that direction to see Lenalee against a wall with a level 4 lunging towards her. A gate then appeared in front of him, with another one appearing in the ground just in front of Lenalee, he walked through the door and got out from the one in front of Lenalee.
Back to the present.
After Lenalee looked towards the akuma, she was shocked by the appearance Allen had; it was mostly the same, no changes to his Innocence or general appearance but she could see in his forehead seven stigmata that a general had informed in the past where a mark of the Noah along with his eyes that instead of been his normal silver color, now looked yellow, another thing that are typical of the Noah.
"Allen-kun?" She said not sure if it was really him, while he started to exchange attacks with the level 4.
Allen clashed his sword with the akuma's arm, trying to make it fall back but ended up making sparks fly from the impact of the two weapons neither allowing the other to be throw back, but the other remaining level 4 came from the side and hit Allen's ribs, making him flinch; a chance that the other akuma took to hit his face and send him flying towards a wall.
"That will teach you exorcist". One of the level 4 said, but when Allen was about to hit the wall he disappeared like he had passed through it. "What the-?!" The akuma tried to say but was hit by Allen's sword from behind; after Allen cut it he attempted to hit the other akuma as well, but this one placed his arms in the middle stopping the attack.
"That won't do it!" The level 4 yelled.
"But he will". Allen answered with a grin when Jason came from behind the akuma and made a cut on its side, the akuma was caught off guard after that attack, and Allen took the chance to stop the clash and made an horizontal cut from right to left while Jason did the same from the other side of the akuma, that ended up cutting it in two and made it explode.
After the smoke from the explosion settled Allen and Jason were panting heavily while using their weapons for support.
"Why did Road bring so many level 4s?" Jason asked starting to stand on his own while trying to look for the remaining level 4.
Allen chuckled a little and said. "Wasn't you the one who said maybe the Noah of Dreams is the one who brought that first level 4?"
Jason didn't have time to answer because the level 4 yelled from the sky. "DIE EXORCISTS".
Both of them looked up to see an incoming ray made of dark matter towards them.
"Kuso". Jason cursed but Allen jumped towards the attack with his sword ready to hit.
"RAHHH". Allen yelled when he moved his sword covered in Innocence energy to clash with the attack.
Allen was sent back to the ground due to the force of the attack but didn't fall and kept trying to hold it back while Jason started to move towards the akuma, thanks to his Innocence's ability.
He was about to hit it when a candle flew towards him and he was forced to stop it. "Ah, ah, ah". Road said while moving a finger back and forth. "You won't interrupt this time". This was said with a sadistic smile on her face.
"Teme". Jason snarled while trying to go towards the akuma but just as before a candle flew towards him, but this time followed by several others forcing him to concentrate on dodging and block them.
Meanwhile Allen was starting to have a hard time keeping the level 4's attack at bay as it seemed to only keep getting stronger.
'Damn it, at this rate I won't be able to hold it back'. Allen thought while momentarily looking towards Jason to see him dodging and blocking a bunch of candles Road was shooting at him, after a few more moments Allen was about to be beaten by the level 4's attack, but before it could, it suddenly stopped and grabbed its head while screaming. 'What?'
"Damn it stupid students, I can't believe you can't even handle this little amount of level 4s". Cross said while behind him all the Generals were present, and above Cross there was a woman in a fancy dress with a large bow tied over her eyes, which makes it slightly reminiscent of a butterfly.
"Shishō". Allen said when he saw him before Cross drew out a gun and said.
"Judgment, activate". Before firing a bunch of bullets towards the akuma, that exploded shortly after receiving the hits. "Do you want to be next Noah kid?" Cross asked Road while she stopped firing candles towards Jason.
"Fine, I'll go but you better be quick and come to our side Allen". The first said with some annoyance and the last part with a gleeful tone, before a heart shaped door appeared behind her and disappeared after she walked through it.
"-Sigh- You stupid students". Cross said to Allen and Jason both of them still with their Innocence activated and trying really hard not to hit him with them.
But those thoughts were pushed aside when Lavi's hammer flew towards Allen who barely had time to place his sword in the middle.
"Don't think I forgot about you". Lavi said preparing his hammer to keep fighting but was interrupted when Bookman appeared out of nowhere and kicked him in the head. "Jiji what are you doing?" He asked while rubbing the back of his head where the kick had landed.
"Stopping you, you shouldn't be attacking a fellow exorcist". Bookman said back.
"But he is a Noah".
"We know". Komui said while everyone was gathered together. "He told me and the Generals the second he arrived".
Komui started to explain everything about the Noah inside Allen and that Cross placed a spell on him so he was able to use the Noah is power.
"So, Allen has the memories and powers of a Noah but he isn't a Noah himself?" Lavi asked while processing what Komui just told them.
"Yep, that's right". Komui answered and everyone is eyes went to Allen but he was nowhere to be seen.
"Where is Allen-kun?" Lenalee asked after hearing the whole story and as everyone look around trying to find him.
"-Sigh- He must be at home already". Jason said.
"Why would he go like that?" General Klaud asked.
"Maybe he didn't want to stay and accept the fact he is a Noah". Lavi said looking a bit angry.
"I'm right here". Allen is voice sounded from behind Lavi. "And I just wanted to get rid of these stigmata". He added pointing to his forehead where the stigmata had disappeared and his eyes seemed to be back to normal.
"Well you have guts for a Noah". Lavi said back with one hand on his hammer.
"Believe whatever you want". Allen said back with a neutral expression before asking. "Komui-san is there something that you need me for?" Komui shook his head no. "Then I'll be going now".
With that he started to walk away with Jason following after both said a general good bye.
"Well we all should go to our houses; it has been a long evening". Yeegar said and everyone did as told.
With Allen and Jason.
"You should have said something instead of just taking what Lavi said". Jason told Allen.
"He is free to believe whatever he wants". Allen answered still with the same expression.
Jason just sighed and thought. 'I guess he will still remain the same in some things'.
With Lenalee.
She and Komui were walking back to their home neither saying a word to the other.
'Allen-kun is a Noah'. Lenalee was thinking; she still couldn't believe that no matter how many times she repeated what happened in her head.
"He only has the memories and powers of a Noah". Komui said breaking the silence and practically reading her thoughts. "He is still the same guy you knew when he first entered".
With Madison.
She was walking home along with General Klaud who had volunteered to walk with her, in case any more Noah or akuma appeared.
"Any thoughts?" General Klaud asked her after a long silent.
Madison shook her head and kept silent while they got to her house.
She didn't lie to the General it's just that she really didn't have any thoughts, because she didn't know what to think. So she decided to just eat with her family and go to bed.
With Lavi.
He and Bookman had been walking home, Bookman with his usual neutral expression while Lavi had an angry scowl in his face.
"Stop doing that, Lavi". Bookman called to him. "As a Bookman you should be better at controlling your feelings and not just show them like that".
"But Jiji, he is a Noah, a NOAH". He remarked still thinking that they should lock Allen up.
"Maybe but Komui and the Generals decided that he isn't a threat so you're just gonna have to deal with it".
Lavi looked pissed but ended up responding. "Fine". But thinking to himself. 'If he tries anything I will stop him'.
Well I'll end it here.
And before I go I want to say that I think hell is freezing because I already have an idea for the next chapter.
Anyway, reviews are appreciated.
Until next update.
