Kenna's eyes watched as the fireballs came towards her and the group. With determination in her eyes, she used a swift movement of her hand to get rid of the huge orbs in the blink of an eye, small particles of it breathing their last air before fading away. This caused a sharp exhale to came from both the Noah twins.
"H-How can that be?" Jasdero was at a loss of words. "How could she get rid of them so easily?"
David gritted his teeth in annoyance, "I don't know. But if we continue to shoot those at her, she will just make them disappear one after the other.
Jasdero sighed, "You're right." He and his brother locked eyes with the group. Then at unison, "If those won't work, try these on for size!" With another click of their guns, they shot two ice balls at the exorcists. Kenna's eyes widened at the size of them, she saw that these will be hard to destroy.
"Look out!" Allen yelled as he and the others dodged the balls, one replacing another as their feet ran across the bindings of the numerous amount of books on the shelves. Kanda tried his best as he kept on releasing the demonic souls at the orbs, only for them to be destroyed by the Twin Noah's attacks.
"These two are quickly getting on my nerves!" Krory growled as he activated his Innocence. The large, curly bang that drooped between his eyes stood up, his eyes transitioning to more like that of a canine's, his pupils a gold hue. Keeping his eyes on the incoming ice balls, he broke through them with a simple kick. Some of the pieces flew at Jasdero and David, and flew right into the holes of their guns. Growling in frustration, they attempted to load their guns, but failed at doing so.
Seeing that the twin Noah were no longer attacking, the white-haired man saw that they had to distract them. Ceasing his running, Allen lunged, his Crown Clown cape easily flowing behind him. "Now!" he ordered to the rest of the group, and after digging their feet into the shelves, flew at the Noah, catching them off guard as they released their attacks on them.
Losing their balance, Jasdero and David fell off of the pillar, and landed on their bottoms, badly wounded. As they struggled to get their feet, a laugh escaped from David, "My, you guys are sly, aren't you? Damaging our weapons and kicking us off the pillar? That takes some guts."
"Hee!" Jasdero added. "It does! But we have one question to ask the 'new one' since she is ignoring it."
"And what is that?" Kenna raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you, and why did you join the Black Order, Akuma's rival?" Jasdero and David questioned together.
Kenna's eyebrows furrowed in anger; she tried her best to shadow the fear of finding out that the Noah and Akuma are in partnership with each other. With a chortle, the purple-haired exorcist smirked, "It's because I want to find out more about it, and try to end the akuma's puny lives, let alone you and the other Noah's."
"That's not the correct answer!" Jasdero yelled. "That is not what we're trying to find out!"
"Then what is it?" Kenna questioned. "Is it you guys asking this stupid question to begin with?"
"NO!" They both replied.
"Then I don't see any sense in answering it then." Kenna scoffed.
Silence then corrupted the room as anger slowly boiled inside the twin Noah. They could sense that the female exorcist was going to avoid their question, whether they liked it or not. They slowly turned their heads up at the group, their gold eyes locking on them. "Then have it your way, Akuma's rival."
Chills went up her spine when she heard their voices. Her eyes scanned their movements as they lifted up their hands, then with a mischievous grin, they disappearing in a blink of an eye. Caught by surprise, the group looked around, and saw that a purple sky replaced the book shelves, grass replaced the grey tile floor. There were polychrome balls lying all over the place.
A low growl emerged from Kenna's throat, as her eyes scanned the unfamiliar scenery to find the twins, but failed. Where could they have gone? And where could they be?
"Haha! That'll teach you to make us mad!" the Noah convulsed, causing the group to jump. "Since our question wasn't answered correctly, we decided to take our anger out on all of you instead of that female exorcist!"
Kanda gritted his teeth, "What did you just say, you annoying brats?"
"It's none of your concern, Tiedoll's disciple." David spoke up. "It's our concern to try to get the truth out of that irritating exorcist."
"So in order to do that, we made it so you guys can't see us! Hee!" Jasdero grinned.
Kenna's eyes widened, "With what? Some type of spell?"
There was no response, only a laugh came from the twins, "See for yourself."
The six exorcists looked at each other in confusion, but then saw what the Noah of Bonds meant. Upon their faces, lavender colors masks were laid upon their faces, the ends of them looking like paint splatters. A sharp exhale came from them as they narrowed their eyes as they scanned the room.
"Why you little-" Kanda scowled, only to have a series of giggling come from the twin Noah.
"Now try to get out yourselves of this puzzle, exorcists!" They chanted together before their voices trailed off into the distance.
Silence then sheltered the room as the grass flowed with the breeze. Kenna's fire eyes radiated with anger, the percentage of it raising up to 100 percent. She knew that if she spilled the beans to the Noah, that they would know who she was and let Akuma join the scene. And she didn't want to happen, she didn't want her friends to find out why she and Tiaoshi went undercover in the first place. Not wanting to focus on this any longer, she looked at Lenalee, "Lenalee, what are these weird-looking things called?"
"Trick Glasses." Lenalee sighed at the mentioning of it. "They're one of Jasdero and David's powers. They've used this move before so we couldn't find the key, let alone find them."
Kenna nodded, her hair flowing with the animation of her cranium, "I see." She then focused her attention back on searching for the twin Noah. But right as her eyes spotted them, eight fireballs appeared from out of nowhere, now hovering above the group.
Their eyes widened in surprise as they freaked out and ran like lightning away from the fireballs. Kanda felt a piercing pain shoot through his body as aftermath from one of the elemental orbs hopped onto his back. Hearing him scream in pain, Kenna gasped and ran over to him, which brought the running to a halt. Bending down on one knee, Kenna fingered through the buttons of the her 2nd exorcist uniform jacket, slipping her arms out of them. She then rested it upon the wound on the dark blue haired man's back, tying the sleeves to make sure that the jacket didn't fall off.
Kanda met eyes with the violet-haired exorcist, and mouthed "Thanks" to her, getting a "You're welcome" back in return. They then proceeded their running as more fireballs, now followed by ice balls, were shot at them. Feeling irritation set inside him, Allen bent his left arm, small crowns soon emerging on the claws of his Crown Clown Innocence. Then with a swift movement of his hand, he propelled the tiny crowns towards the orbs, going through them like a bullet shooting through a piece of glass.
Jasdero growled in anger to see that the orbs worked to no prevail. He locked eyes with his more masculine looking brother, "So what do we do now? Those orbs aren't defeating these pathetic exorcists."
David allowed his eyelashes to flutter before setting them onto the group, "...To be honest, I don't know. I don't have any ideas to cook up."
Jasdero nodded in agreement, but then smirked as an idea crept into his head. He grinned as he looked at his brother, "Oh! I have a good idea! How about we think of Earl's apprentice and imagine that together?"
The jet black haired Noah chuckled as he tapped his fingers one by one on the tip of his chin, "...That's a splendid idea! It will make that eggplant-haired girl think that it's the real Akuma!" A laugh then befell his lips.
"Hey, exorcists! We have a special present for you!" They both spoke with a joyful tone to get the exorcists' attention.
Kenna's eyebrows twitched in annoyance, "And what is that, by chance? Another trick of yours?"
"Nope!" They laughed. "It's tall...has bat wings...long jet black hair...a silky black dress...and...rose-colored skin! It's..."
"Akuma!" Jasdero added as a figure of Kenna's nemesis appeared from out of nowhere. Kenna felt the color in her face drain when she saw her.
It...can't be... Kenna felt her heart race as she and the others are now eye to eye with the demon goddess. It just can't!
The smirk that was laden upon Akuma's lips didn't leave as she charged towards the exorcists, two violet colored orbs emerging from her hands. Feeling a mix of fear and confidence flow inside her veins, Kenna stepped in front of the group, only to get electrocuted by Akuma's attack. Paralyzation rushed into Kenna's arm muscles as the female exorcist screamed in pain.
Seeing that she was now distracted, Akuma walked back a few feet, then in a blink of eye, dashed at Kenna and sent a bone-crunching blow to Kenna's stomach. Blood expelled her mouth as she went flying into one of the walls. Books and dust fell down to the ground.
Feeling fury rush inside him at Kenna getting hurt, Allen and Kanda both ran towards Akuma, and swung their anti-akuma weapons at the demon goddess. Akuma's mint-colored eyes widened as she saw exorcists coming right towards her, so with a demonic laugh, she created a sword in her hands, which was the same color as her magic. She then thrusted it towards the two male exorcists; sparks flew from the weapons colliding.
She then distracted them with another swing of their sword, almost making Allen and Kanda lose their footing.
"Gah!" Allen gritted his teeth as he blocked an attack by Akuma with his left hand. "What is this?! Is she even real?"
Nope! David and Jasdero thought to themselves so the exorcists won't hear them. She is a figment of our imagination. Us twins...have the power...to materialize thought! Like those bullets of fire and ice!
Kenna coughed up blood as she struggled to get up. Small drips of the crimson liquid splattered onto her clothes, staining some parts of her suit. The violet-haired exorcist gritted her teeth in annoyance, she was blaming herself for getting distracted by Akuma's attack. Seeing the appearance of her destined rival brought murder to her eyes. She wanted to kill Akuma, no matter how much wounds or bruises she will receive to her body. Her arms trembled as she slowly got up. Her nails bit into her palms as she watched Akuma fighting her friends. Her hands then unfolded; mixtures of fire and water emerged in her hands. Kenna then closed her eyes to concentrate, then disappeared into thin air from the place she landed at.
"Hey, imbecile!" The 18-year old woman's voice boomed across the room, getting Akuma and her fellow exorcists' attention. "Try this on for size!"
Akuma's eyes widened as Kenna clapped her hands together, merging both of the orbs into one gigantic orb. A smirk now harbored upon her lips, she morphed it into a huge sword, then flew right towards the demon goddess. A sharp exhale came from her as the sword pierced right through her chest, blood escaped from her mouth. But to Kenna's surprise, the wounds slowly healed themselves after the female exorcist took the sword out of Akuma's chest. With a smirk, Akuma sent a kick at Kenna, who easily dodged it. Then with a swift movement of her knee, Kenna sent a blow to Akuma's stomach for payback.
Time seemed to slow down as Akuma flew up into the air. Kenna then rested her fingertips onto the ground, flipped, and sent a high kick to the bottom of Akuma's chin, causing blood to expel out of Akuma's mouth as she crashed right into the top row of book shelves. Getting back in her normal position, a small laugh came from Kenna.
Her eyes then widened as a demonic giggle came from Akuma, one of her hands clasped upon the huge wound on her right arm. Her eyes were shaded from her bangs from some odd reason, as she bared her fangs. Pieces of rubble fell to the floor as her wings folded, then unfolded as she dug her feet into the ground. With a sinister laugh, she flew towards Kenna with two green swords in her hands.
A lump appeared in her throat as the demon goddess came near her and the group. Getting in their battle positions, the exorcists activated their Innocence, and unleashed their powers towards Akuma. Caught off guard, Akuma shielded her eyes with her left arm, the swords disintegrating into thin air. A loud scream came from her as her figure slowly turned to dust.
Jasdero and David gasped in shock, and watched as the Trick Glasses slowly faded away from the exorcists' eyes.
"Heck yeah!" Lavi cheered. "We finally got rid of her!"
Allen nodded, then muttered "Finally." as he gritted his teeth. The two then spotted Jasdero and David right in front of them.
"We..." The six exorcists said in unison, catching the twin Noah's attention. "Finally..."
"FOUND YOU!" With a surprise punch, Jasdero and David flew into one of the walls, covered by the rubble and fallen books.
"Phew..." Kenna said as small huffs escaped her mouth. "That felt good...for starters." The others nodded in agreement. Silence then corrupted the room as the dust from the aftermath subsided.
"So what do we do now?" Kanda let out a long sigh. "Those brats are finished. They're not going to be able to attack us at this rate."
Oh? And what makes you so sure about that, blue haired man?
Everyone jumped at the sudden, yet scary voice, that boomed through the library. "Who said that?!" Kanda growled.
It would be no other than Jasdevi, Tiedoll's disciple!
With a laugh, David shoot out his left arm out from the destruction, while Jasdero shoot out his right. The bandages wrapped around the blonde-haired Noah's arms, were slowly coming off, parts of it torn by the attack.
Kenna felt her heart beating at a slower pace then before, beads of sweat ran down her face. This was starting to freak her out. How in the world could they have survived that? Her eyes continued to watch as Jasdero and David slowly got up. Their golden eyes, now small and almost that of the color back, glared at the exorcists.
You keep calling us brats, or fools, better yet. We're done playing games. Now we're really going to kill you.
Silence then took its toll once again as an unusual, heavy air made its entrance into the room. Kenna almost felt her lungs being filled with the substance. She locked eyes with Krory, "Krory, what the heck is going on?"
The vampire exorcist sighed, his eyebrows twitching in annoyance, "I do not know, young lady, but it is something bad by the looks of it. Before they were acting like brats, next they're throwing a temper tantrum." He growled. "That's why I hate dealing with these two."
Music suddenly filled the room. It was a scary sound, like certain keys of a piano were being played into this horrific melody. Jasdero and David then focused their attention on the exorcists, their expressions serious. They then sung the lyrics to their melody:
There was once a baby cradle...with a single star hovering above them...
Two infants lied in the crib.
The two become one.
Their souls then rocked in the graveyard, rocking in the cradle for eternity...
Silence then corrupted the room as Jasdero and David set the guns to each other's heads, then as the lyrics faded off into the distance, they shoot each other. The sound of the guns falling to the floor was heard as they stood still, rays of smoke escaping from their bodies. The exorcists watched as their shadows merged into one, big purple vortex behind them.
A series of coughs came from the groups as the smoke surrounded the room. After it was done, a tall figure with a crimson jacket, and long, blond hair-with swirl of black at the top-emerged from it.
Kanda gasped, "...Who is that?"
"We, that is, Jasdero and David, began as one Noah." The merged Noah smirked, his black lipstick appeared to be wider. He then walked away from the dust, and showed himself. "We are Jasdevi!"
Kenna fell silent. "...Oh crap."
