Kenna felt her heart racing as she and the others looked at the tall Noah before them. "You...how did you find us so quick?"
A smirk came from the Noah, "I've been tracking you three ever since you guys set foot in England."
Tiaoshi's blue eyes widened, "You have?"
"You think I wouldn't be?" The Noah gently rested his hand on his top hat, slightly tipping it forward.
Allen's gray eyes glared at the Noah, his lips curled up in a snarl. Memories of the time that the fancy-dressed man from the time they first met to when he encountered him in the Noah's ark started to play back in his mind. He then shook his head back and forth, not wanting to have those coming back in his head again.
He then looked up, the two locking eyes with each other, "So we meet again, Tyki Mikk."
Hearing the white-haired man's voice, Tyki chuckled, "So it seems, Allen Walker. So it seems." He then glanced over at the brunette and the blonde. The Noah's eyes fixed on Kenna, who felt beads of sweat running from her temple.
"It seems like you brought two lovely ladies with you." The Noah smirked. "Are they new here, by chance?"
Allen glared at him, "And why does that even matter to you?"
The Noah's yellow eyes gleamed with curiosity, "Well...I've grown rather fond of the brunette. I was hoping to introduce myself personally."
And that's when it all got silent, only leaves being pushed by the invisible wind were heard. Kenna felt her face turning a light burgundy color, her eyes widened in utter confusion and fear. The only thing that she could think of that was racing through her head was:
...Did this Noah just try to flirt with me...?
Another round of silence went by, and that's when the Noah was caught off guard by Kenna's sudden attack. Seeing the huge orb being hurled towards him, a smug look came across his face as he easily dodged it. The brunette watched as the orb faded off into the distance, disappearing in thin air before it could collide with a building. Kenna's brown eyes widened in fear as she looked at the man.
"Nice try, exorcist." Tyki laughed. "But it will take more than that to stop me!"
A growl escalated from Allen's throat as he, Tiaoshi and Kenna activated their Innocence. Allen's Innocence took its usual form, Kenna's aura radiated from her hands, and so did Tiaoshi's, except it was in the form of a bow and arrow. The Noah of Desire, on the other hand, just stood there, tapping his shiny shoe on the ground.
The blonde-haired entity decided to take the first aim; she grabbed a hold on the tip of the bow, slightly moving it backward. Within a few seconds, the light blue arrow sped through and headed right for the Noah's chest. A smirk came across Tyki's face as he put his hand in the direction of the arrow, ceasing its attack by sliding his glove-covered fingers across it, then gripping it in his hold. The aura then shattered to pieces.
Tiaoshi felt her heart sink when she saw what happened, her eyebrows standing up in shock. How was that Noah able to do that, let alone make the aura disappear by just grabbing a hold of it? Kenna sensed the horrified expression on her protector's face, her blue eyes widened, small beads of sweat descending from her temple.
Tyki let a laugh escape his throat, "That still won't work, blondie."
Hearing the Noah call her that, a menacing growl came from Tiaoshi's throat as she lifted up her bow and arrow, the color changed from a light blue to a light orange. Before she even had a chance to send another arrow at the Noah, Tiaoshi heard the footsteps of the brunette, the 18-year old using a swift motion of her hand to guard the entity. The blonde-haired entity's eyebrows furrowed in astonishment, but one quick glance and a nod made her understand.
Letting a sigh escape her throat, Kenna dug her feet into the ground, then darted at the Noah, sending bolts from her hands as fast as someone would fire a rifle. The brunette watched as Tyki Mikk dodged them by just moving out of the way. Feeling anger rise inside her, Kenna sent another one, this time actually damaging the Noah, but only a slight cut on the arm. Kenna exhaled sharply.
"...Not bad." Tyki gently resting his hand on the wound. "A pretty girl like you has some skills."
Kenna gritted her teeth, "Excuse me?"
"Oi! The young lady is getting mad!" Tyki held up his hands in protest. "Better watch out guys...we have a daredevil over here."
Kenna exhaled in annoyance. These Noah's remarks are starting to get to her. Her left hand trembled; she was getting the urge to punch him smack dab in the face right now. The brunette gritted her teeth as she saw Tyki pretending to be scared, slowly backing away, then coming back.
The Noah laughed, a smirk followed by it. "And that beautiful daredevil is going to fall off the chessboard."
Kenna was caught off by his statement, "Huh?"
Before the three even had a chance to defend themselves, an invisible blow sent them flying back. Allen and Tiaoshi slammed hard right into two big trees, Kenna hitting one a few feet in front of them. The white-haired boy's back throbbed as he tried to stand up. Tiaoshi, on the other hand, had used her wings to protect her, though the same pain shooting through Allen's back was in hers as well. They then caught a glimpse of the brunette on her knees, her arms trembling as she slowly proceeded up. A growl came from the young woman's throat as she tried to maintain her balance, putting most of her weight on her right foot. Her hands shook as a blue aura radiated in her hands.
Kenna saw the creepy face of Tyki Mikk once more as his small figure, as it seemed from a few feet away from them, got bigger as he walked over to her. His face went back to its normal expression. The brunette felt a sudden pain shoot through her legs, and her knees collided with the ground. The female exorcist could hear laughing and see the Noah smirk as he looked at her. Still having her Innocence activated, Kenna thrusted her arm back, aiming in right at the Noah's face, only for it to be defeated by the Noah's palm resting on the knuckles of her hand.
"It seems like a brunette like you is strong, but weak when defense enters the fray." The Noah said. He the glanced over at Tiaoshi and Allen, who managed to get up, and had their weapons ready to fire. "The same goes for you little friends too."
Kenna gritted her teeth, but then saw Tyki's eyes slit horizontally, his normal teeth replaced by one of a canine's.
"No! Don't you even think of hurting them!" Kenna went to get up and hit Tyki upside the head, but he ceases her movement to a halt by his hand.
"And what makes you think I'm going to do that, brunette?" The Noah locked eyes with Tiaoshi and Allen, then in the blink of an eye, they were sent flying, out of Kenna's sight. Kenna only heard the sounds of their bodies hitting the ground.
Kenna glared at Tyki, her eyes glowing with a fiery orange, "I thought you said you weren't going to hurt them!"
"Yeah, I believe I did...oh, oops." The Noah smirked. "I lied!"
Kenna slid her teeth against each other, this Noah was really starting to get on her nerves. She felt her eyes blazing the same orange color, thus closing them. Her brown hair start to escalate slowly into the air, then transformed into a flowing orange color, as if it were caught on fire. When she opened her eyes again once more, they were in the form of a demon's.
Tyki Mikk's yellow eyes widened as he saw Kenna's form, and started to step back. He watched in awe as Kenna slowly got up, her legs shaking. She unfolded her hands, two fireballs blazing from them. Letting a threatening growl escape her throat, she threw both of them at Tyki, burning his chest badly, making him stumble backwards and land on his bottom. Seeing that Tyki wasn't able to dodge those fireballs, she lifted up her arms, two more fireballs conjured in her hands. She goes to throw them at the Noah, but a sudden hand grabs her arm, making the fiery aura disappear in thin air.
When her eyes locked with Allen's, she saw a mixture of anger and shock in his face. "Kenna, there's no sense in battling him!"
Kenna's eyebrows furrowed, "What do you mean?"
Allen exhaled, "Tyki is a very strong Noah. Ever since I had defeated him back when my fellow exorcists and I were caught in the Noah's ark, his inner Noah took over him, thus turning him from a human and back into a Noah. Tyki has more powers than he had before...ones that can defeat you!"
Kenna's eyes widened, she had not known this before, how the Noah inside this handsome man helped him turn back into his evil self. The statement of him ran through Kenna's mind, her expression slowly transitioning from one of astonishment to one of comprehension. Giving Allen a glance, she let go of his hold.
The white haired man's eyes widened, "Kenna-"
"Let me do this, Allen." One look of her demonic eyes made chills go up Allen's spine.
"But, Kenna, I told you about this Noah being powerful."
"I know. I've...fought monsters like him before."
No words came out of Allen's mouth; all he saw was Kenna's fiery eyes looking at him one last time before they locked eyes with the Noah before them.
"I know what I'm doing, Allen. You guys need to stay back."
Then, without saying another word, Kenna dug her boots into the pavement, and flew at the Noah, sending a fire bolt at Tyki. Letting a sinister laugh escape his throat, the 29-year old man bent down, and flew into the sky, his form elegantly curved as his hair whipped in the wind. He watched as the aura disappeared. Kenna's eyes widened in shock as Tyki used the tip of his toes to land safely.
"You have to be more faster than that, brunette!" The Noah laughed. The female exorcist and Noah shared twin glares, then charged at each other. Numerous amounts of blows were taken, mostly to Tyki's face, chest and arms. A small trickle of blood dripped down from Tyki's lips, while Kenna had wounds and bruises on her, she rested one of her hands on her cheeks in pain. The battle continued to go on, but suddenly, trickles of sweat started to run uncontrollably down from Kenna's temple. Her breath was cut short, only small huffs of breath escaped her mouth. Kenna had her hand rested on her chest now, the sound of her fast-paced heart echoing through her ears.
Seeing that the brunette was starting to grow weak, the fancy-dressed man smiled, and ran fast at lightning speed. Before Kenna had a chance to defend herself, Tyki thrusted his hand onto Kenna's forehead, causing her to fly back, her skull colliding with a tree, a sickening thud was all that Tiaoshi and Allen heard.
"Kenna!" Tiaoshi's voice rose as it broke up, due to watching the horror of the human she was vowed to protect being defeated right before her eyes.
The blond-entity's voice echoed in the Noah's ears, he locked eyes with her. Putting his free hand up, he created an invisible guard around the two other exorcists, ignoring their voices as their fists pounded at the shields. Averting his attention back to the brunette, he stuck his arm out, and closed his eyes.
After a few minutes passed, a butterfly emerged from Tyki's glove. It was an odd, jet black color, a dark purple aura surrounding it. Playing card suits adorned its wings. A sinister grin crept across the Noah's face as the butterfly made a few rounds in the air, then landed elegantly on the palm of his hand.
Kenna's brown eyes, however slightly open, glared at the yellow eyes of the Noah as he stared at her. He whistled, "Geez. A angelic girl like you is still weak, even in one of her most powerful forms." A gentle smile came across his face as he stroked his glove-covered hand across Kenna's hair, small strands of it escaping between his fingers. "You were a powerful lady, I've got to admit. But once this is over, you're not going to be!"
The brunette watched as the man lifted up his arm with the butterfly on it, and before Kenna could let any words escape her throat, he thrusted his arm right through her chest. Kenna felt the surprising, yet piercing pain shoot all over her body, blood expelling from her mouth. Tyki laughed as the brunette screamed in agony. He chuckled as the woman screamed some more, her hands shaking uncontrollably as if they were having a seizure. Tiaoshi gasped as small cracks slowly formed on Kenna's hands.
Allen gasped, somehow knowing what was happening. Tears forming in his grey eyes, running down his face, "KENNA, NO!"
The moment of suffering was then cut to a close; Tyki took his arm out, no blood was splattered. He then watched as more cracks started to reproduce on Kenna's hands, then in the blink of an eye, shattered apart like glass.
Tyki then stood up, only to have his eyes blinded by the sun. Using his arm to shield the light, he glimpsed at one of the buttons on Kenna's suit, which shone brightly in the sunlight. Grinning, he bent down, sliding his fingers across the precious metal, then yanking it off her suit. He stood back up, flipping the button over as he saw the name of the exorcist's name, forever engraved in enternity:
Kenna Vikasa
The sound of Kenna's name caused a chuckle to escape from Tyki as he folded up his hand, putting it in his pocket. He then turned his back towards the now dying girl, looking over his shoulder, as he saw her brown eyes glassy with sadness, her expression blank. Her eyes were still slightly open, her breath, on the other hand, was losing its life. After a few minutes, the brunette's eyes closed, and she let the final breath die in thin air.
The sight of the dead exorcist was music to Tyki's ears, he let a loud maniac laugh escape his throat before he walked off, hearing the sounds of Tiaoshi and Allen crying and calling for their deceased friend.
"Bye-bye...Kenna Vikasa." was the Noah's last words before he disappeared from their sight.
