Unlikely Reunion?

After the long tunnel, it was the 'twins' next.

Allen was merciless. He wrapped them up entirely in his ribbons instantly and he's fast.

This effectively confirmed Lavi's suspicion of him. Considering his power and ease of controlling his Innocence to such a level...he knew Allen is a General-Class Parasitic.

'Oy, Count,' Allen told him. 'What exactly are your vampire abilities like?' Crowley muttered, 'I'm not a vampire,' while twitching irritably.

'I can activate anytime I want, but I need akuma blood to last in my transformed state and access my abilities...why?' Crowley asked him nervously.

'Sooo you suck their blood and you go superman?'

'I can inject innocence-laced blood too...'

'Poison! Goody!' Allen squealed in delight. 'Suck em' off dry for later's battle, and then poison these guys.' Allen instructed. 'The dangerous ones are lover-boy and that girl. We need all we can get. We better be pragmatic because its our lives on the line and you have potential to be even stronger than I if you have access to high-quality goods. Your boosted strength will help us out and a Noah's Blood might be more nutritious than Akuma blood...but we won't know if we don't try so get sampling.'

'E-ehhh...' Lenalee squeaked as Crowley gulped.

'Its OK. They can't access any abilities right now, even their own senses while wrapped tight. However, fifteen minutes and we just wasted three talking. Hurry.' Crowley very reluctantly went up as Allen gave him access to a neck.

'NO REROOO!' Lero cried, but Kanda stopped the umbrella and pinned it to the floor with his sword. 'J-Jasdevi-tama!'

'Its no use umbrella. They cannot hear a thing.' Allen snorted. 'Much less breathe.' he said as Crowley bit into Devit and began sucking.

'Wow...you really are pragmatic...' said Lavi nervously. He had really no idea who Allen and Ronald are affiliated with, but he felt they were way scarier.

'You should too, you know.' Allen snarked. 'Unlike us Parasitics who have resistance to the virus somehow, you Equipments aren't so lucky in that regard. In war, morals and ethics can wait. Your life and your comrade's lives come first. Play dirty in order to live. Retreat when you have to because a mission can be finished another day. That is a code wise soldiers live by because a true victory means you survive whatever hell you put up with. A true loss is if you die. Even worse if you die for nothing. Well?' he called to Crowley.

'I-I'm alright now!' Crowley called out. 'Their blood is too much for me I can only stomach three gulps.' he said.

'Then proceed with poison injection! Suck blood when you feel you're running out of gas though!'

'Grrrr! We'll make you pay for this-rero!' Lero swore as Allen used sorcery on the Umbrella that knocked it out.

'Finally he shut up.' Kanda grunted. 'Do that earlier!' he complained.

'Well, he was useful as a guide...but it seems all doors we go through are linked to one path, so we don't need it anymore.' said Allen uncaringly. 'We can leave that thing here once we're done with the twins.' he sighed. 'If only we weren't on a time limit...' he complained. 'We could have gotten to know each other more darling~' Kanda was quick to scoot away from him and used Lavi as a meat shield of sorts.

'Hey!' Lavi freaked out as Lenalee and Chaoji sweatdropped.

'That's no help my dear, you're both cute.' Allen giggled flirtatiously, coming onto Lavi who was shaking in comical fright and was about to kiss him when Lenalee spoke, saving him.

'U-Umm...what's it like?' Lenalee asked him to their horror. 'A relationship between two guys?'

'Well, its easy because we understand and relate to each other easier than a boy-girl relationship.' said Allen. 'In the Academy, its all boys. No female in sight. Nobody can leave until you Graduate. No outside communication at all during education, not even during vacations. The Custodians, Instructors, Students, Faculty...all male. But we long for love and relationship and next thing we know, the school is separated into two caste systems, in which all us pretty boys took the role of female. We even wore our hair long and did not do much physical activity to have a physique close to that of women.'

'Your hair is short!' Lavi pointed out, the Tsukkomi to Allen's Bokke of half-truths and lies.

'Fufufu! My hair turns white, shortens and spikes up when I activate and my mask conceals half of my face. Its because of this I'm a perfect field agent. Nobody can track me down as no outsider knows what my true form is.' Allen giggled. 'Oh yes, since we biologically don't have a female's organs for the man to stick it into...' Lavi, Kanda, Chaoji and Lenalee knew they'll hear too much information. 'We had to use a lubricant so it won't hurt...they do it in our butt holes.'

'EHHHHH?!' Lavi, Chaoji and Lenalee squawked while Kanda was turned to stone.

The mental imagination(even if Lenalee has never seen a man's thing before), horrified them.

'It hurts when you do it dry but if you go in slippery, it feels really good sexually that we take turns doing each other!' Allen is really having so much fun now, having fun at their expense. 'Try it out sometime!' he sighed blissfully.

'No way and shut up already!' Lavi, Kanda and Chaoji yelled at him in exasperated annoyance.

'So how come you're not flirting with blondie anyway?!' Lavi demanded.

'Well, I don't know if he's spoken for... and we don't cheat on our boyfriends until they graduate. Rule is the boyfriend must always be older than the one in the role of female you know and mine already graduated so I'm looking for a new boyfriend.' well, that's true somewhat...

'Er, I'm done.' Crowley looked quite ill as he just can't imagine what he heard.

'Good.' Allen smiled as he let them go...revealing holes all over their bodies and the boys were unconscious. 'Let's go~!' and they ran off as on the twins' bodies...the word Innocence appeared all over like an ugly rash as they fell unconscious on the floor...

'You didn't want us fighting those twins.' Kanda noted.

'Er we have short time left? If we have infinite time, access to food and doctors, by all means. However we don't have any of those and we have to get out of here and getting out of here means beating the final boss.' said Allen. 'So we have to be in our top form as much as we possibly can before we face the last boss. Lenalee, how are your legs?'

'I feel better but they still won't respond to me.' Lenalee grumbled before sighing. 'I can't move them at all nor feel anything.'

'I guess recovery is halfway done then. I don't know what blondie found out but everything will be up to you now. Our innocences care for us to an extent. They need us as wielders and they have their own sense of morals and beliefs while watching you. They can only use their power through us and we are exorcists thanks to them. Symbiosis but if a line is crossed as Suman Dark has done, you become a Fallen out of punishment, not out of Mercy-Killing like in the case of the children. You have it with you, right?'

'Yeah...'

'While we keep the Noahs busy, sailor, watch over her and Lenalee, observe your Innocence while pretending to be sick. Nobody knows what will happen now...one thing we know for certain is that its a different kind of Parasitic and on your decision, its absolute certain your sync rate will level up. You're the first in history to have this change so you'll certainly have the unwanted attention of Central sometime soon. So its wise that you only tell what you've learned just now to only select few people who you know, are on your side.'

The men and Lenalee herself can agree to that. Her innocence is the first known piece to undergo changes...

'Jasdevi is defeated, but still alive.' Road noted. 'Its now us left in the Ark, Tyki.' she said as Tyki stiffened. 'Shall we prepare a greeting?'

'Ugggh...' came the grumble. Road giggled.

'You just don't want to see your lover.'

'He's NOT my lover!' Tyki cried in a protesting high-pitched voice and all he wanted was to skin the white exorcist alive.

Road just laughed at his expense.

At the final door...

'Stop.' Allen warned.

'What is it?' Chaoji asked him.

'Question, how many Noahs have you encountered so far?' Allen asked them.

'Well, that berserker guy, your boyfriend, the twins is new-first time we saw em', then there's that woman who can become anything, and the girl.' said Lavi. 'Why?'

'Who among you fought the girl?'

'Me.' said Kanda. 'Technically she toyed with me and Lenalee when we went to recruit Miranda and left us barely alive. Somehow she can change the surroundings and create anything she wants.'

'...the 13 Noahs all have their aspects which hints to their abilities.' Allen told them. 'No one knows what the Earl's aspect is. Only twelve are known. Judgment. Pleasure. Desire. Wisdom. Disintegration. Pity. Rage. Dream. Bond. Lust. And Ability. And in our knowledge so far, Dream always appears as a child, representing a human child dreaming of what they want to become as adults...so while I have no idea what sweetie is, its certain that little girl is Dream. And be careful with that one. That form of her we see is merely a puppet that she uses to get around, while the real her is elsewhere. We can only harm her true form, not the fake form we see with sweetie.'

'And how do we fight that?!' Kanda demanded, not liking the idea of level of difficulty in fighting a little girl of all things.

'We need numbers in that regard.' said Allen grimly. 'And as we are now, we'll have to wing it. If she takes you to her own dimension, its highly risky but her true form should be there, where nothing can harm her. In her dream world, only she can come and go, and she's 100% safe there unless we found a way to get there, and blast everything on sight with innocence as anything there, or if invisible, her true form is there. Needless to say, you guys gang up on her and start some shit. Do not hold back because getting hurt in dream world means you get mentally hurt and there's no telling when we're in reality or dream world when around her. No warning at all. If she kills you there...you'll be either catatonic or insane in reality OR she can do both, destroy our minds AND bodies.' he warned grimly to the gulping Exorcists. 'I couldn't say anything earlier because of that damn umbrella.' Allen sighed. 'If only the others are here, they'd be a great help too but the Noahs isolated all us Exorcists...'

'And blondie isn't?!'

'He isn't. He and our colleagues are not Exorcists. I'm the first Exorcist there in our organization so yes, I'm suffering overwork and overtime.' Allen scowled, 'At least I get paid much more than they do with loads of privileges!' he sighed before looking serious. 'I fight sweetie, you guys go all out. Hold nothing back.'

'Welcome~' Road greeted jovially when a loud call of 'DAAAARRRRLIIIIINNNGGG!' she could have sworn a wind blew past her, tackled Tyki to his horror. 'I missed you for an hour and half~!'

'GET THE FUCK OFF ME YOU WEIRDOOOO!'

'Awww come on, don't be so hard to get, lover-boy but being so shy is also cute~!' cue a hand down to the groin and Tyki freaking out.

'...he's scary.' Lavi shivered. 'Makes me glad he likes Tyki more than us!'

'Let him suffer.' Kanda agreed as they were nervous.

'Oh, you guys don't find this adorable?' Road asked them owlishly.

'Er, we don't due to our religion.' Lavi sweatdropped.

'Its a shame. I was curious on how male to male lovers do it and I've never seen such in all my lives...' Road said gleefully. 'Live action pleeeeaaase!' she requested cheerfully.

'NOOOOO!' Tyki and the Exorcists yelled frantically but Allen just began necking Tyki while tying him up, obliging her and unbuttoning his shirt skillfully with just one gloved hand.

'Lemme go! Lemme goooo!' Tyki was really shrieking in a panic and desperation now because of the audience because this, is a lifetime's worth of blackmail!

'I could get used to this~' Road giggled while severely nosebleeding.

'Should we feel sorry for that guy?' Lenalee asked Kanda as Road is clearly enjoying the show.

'...better him than us.' Kanda swallowed fearfully.

'...he kissed you.' Lavi reminded him, earning him a punch from the angry, blushing boy.

'You're blushing though...' Road giggled at Kanda. 'I wonder what you reeeeally think...' she said as the world changed on the Black Order Exorcists. It was back at Edo, and when Allen kissed Kanda.

'Gyaaa! A replay!' Chaoji gasped out as they helplessly watched a copy of Kanda being kissed, and his thoughts played out loud...that earned him incredulous looks.(see chap 13)

'I-Its not what you think!' Kanda sputtered in protest, highly embarrassed.

'You became a homophobe because of Didi?' Lenalee blinked owlishly.

'ITS NOT WHAT YOU THIIIINK!' Kanda protested vehemently. He's NOT into men(his sexuality didn't develop properly, being a child soldier since birth), and is firmly into women due to his vague memories.

'Not that I blame him, that Didi guy looks ugly.' said Road with a cringe as she further poked into Kanda's memory for further information.

Outside...

Tyki was moaning.

While Road took the others away, Allen was having his fun with Tyki. He was sexually teasing him. Tied up he may be but the older man is comfortable at least...and enjoying things despite him saying no...but he's at his wit's end and limits...because this boy is very skilled with his hands and mouth, treating him like he would a treasured lover as much as he hated to admit it AND he is the Noah of Pleasure. His body is on fire and craved more...and his weeping erection is blatantly on display...because Allen was pleasuring him all over...and even took his virginity after coating his own erection with his seed. His body felt immense pleasure while stretched from within with the Exorcist's member...and they were behind the tower pillars at least.

'You say no but our bodies never lie, lover.' Allen purred while doing him from behind, slowly thrusting before picking up speed. 'It feels good right? Sometimes, we men deserve some loving too. In a man-woman relationship, we always do the work. One-sided. But in a man-to-man, we share each other in loving and being loved, don't you agree?' he sighed wistfully. 'Its not a one-sided lovemaking at all since we can take turns.' Allen smiled. 'Try this at home sometime since as much as I want to, I can't take you home with me due to the nature of our affiliations. Mother would love you as a son-in-law you know.' he giggled.

'A-ahhh...' well, Tyki can't really talk back...he's horny and pleasured all over and he lost count how many times he orgasmed by now...

'You sure are a damn pervert.' a man spoke out of nowhere. 'Anyway, we don't have much time left.' a door opened. 'Get in here, quick!'

'Oh, poo.' Allen pouted as he knocked Tyki out cold by pressing something on the back of his head and released him in order to dress him properly before fixing himself up and went into the door...to meet Cross Marian. '...Cross Marian? My associates have their eye on you as well but you're troublesome to look for.' Allen noted. 'As much as they want you, you're also equals worth the headache so they're still debating on your recruitment.' not really, its Undertaker who wants him, not the entire Shinigami Force.

'My, I'm flattered.' Cross snarked sardonically with a snort. 'Anyway, you're pretty pragmatic. I've watched everything. But...who are you working for?'

'Can't tell.' Allen showed a fake magic tattoo Undertaker applied on where his heart is. Its just on his skin. 'Nice try.' Cross pouted.

'Well fuck. But anyhow, go to the Piano. You will know what to do.' came the vague instruction. 'In the meantime, I'll help the brats out. The real danger is coming.' and he left the room.

'He wants me to play a song when we're running out of time here? What a weirdo.' Allen scoffed as the flying thing with the man sat on where the scoreboard should be and opened its fanged maw...to reveal a sight Allen hasn't seen in five years. A circle of lines and patterns with dots at the ends of the lines in various lengths.

'Father's...code game...?'

He was frozen stiff but in his mind, the code game immediately translated into a song. 'Wha?!'

The...piano... another man spoke. Allen looked up to see a shadow yet his musician's clothes are clearly visible and it's on the wall. My...Timcampy...

'Who are you?' Allen asked it.

Even the Millennium Earl does not know of this place. it spoke again. This is a secret room of the Fourteenth...Allen...Timcampy...these two have the power of the Musician. Allen stiffened. How'd this guy know his name?! Allen must play...the score belongs to...Allen...

'But father's code game...!' Allen sputtered out. 'Why is it here?!' he demanded frantically. 'Why would this play a role in the Ark?!'

That is the song...as for the melody...it is within Allen...

'That means I can drive it even though its baffling how can this be a music sheet.' Allen swore. 'And Cross knew I could somehow even if he hasn't seen my face yet! I was always in a mask and Undertaker made it impossible for all sorcery to track me down! You better keep talking because I want an explanation!' he sat down and his hands began playing the song, moving on its own. '...it's clearly a lullaby...a woman singing in my head even...the original singer?'

When he played the song...the shadow spoke again. Wish...your hopes...weave them into the song...

'Humm...you said I can do whatever I want, right?' Allen asked the shadow that nodded. 'OK! Restore Noah's Ark, immediately! Reverse its destruction! And evict the Noah off the Ark! Deny access!' he cried while focusing on that command while keeping on playing.

Outside the Ark...its effects are immediate.

The Noah's Ark materialized when not long ago it was disappearing in the eyes of those left outside. Cross who was fighting the Earl in an Earthquake found himself kicked out, and Tyki fell off through some door. Road on the other hand, since she wasn't really in the Ark while battling the others, had to cancel out her power since Lavi figured a way to locate 'her real self' and bring them back to the Ark while she fled, injured because she herself can't get in.

'Well, that's that.' Cross chuckled as the Earl was stunned that he got booted out by force. And considering how fast the kids got here, they have only the tower left to go, with the 'town' gone. But he restored the Ark.

Allen also got them back to Edo as well.

'Everyone's alright!' Miranda cried in delight as they all left the Ark and reunited with their companions.

'I thought I had to explain to your mom AND to management how you disappeared!' Ronald snarked to the young Exorcist who was sheepish. 'So, what's the Ark like?'

'It's basically a town inside it but instead of getting inside homes, its doors to various dimensions instead...and wishes somehow work if and only if you're in the Ark.' Allen explained. 'That's what I found out from that shadow man in the piano room. I didn't get to talk to it much...after I played the Key Song, he didn't talk anymore.' he pouted. 'And I want to know more too.'

'Shadow man huh? Sooo what'd you do?'

'I pretty much fixed it and banned any Noah from getting in it or access to it ever again, why?' Allen asked him.

'I see. I'll report to Management first.' and Ronald disappeared.

'By the way Whitey, we have a potential Conflict of Interest.' said Tiedoll, approaching him. 'Marian was ordered to bring the Akuma Egg back to the Order and it is within the Ark and you work depending on your superiors...and I can see Blondie left to report.' he pointed out.

'Yes. It is in our best interests that the Noah does not get the Ark because it would mean extreme overtiming on our part.' said Allen. 'Sealing it away or destroying it depends on our superiors.'

'That kinda sucks for me, is there a way for me to talk with your bosses?' Cross complained. 'I looked for this for four freakin' years! Otherwise there might be a war over this between our organizations!'

'I'm afraid I cannot answer that.' Allen sighed. 'I'm on the 'On-Field Division, not the Intelligence Department and its them who reports to the bosses you know. Blondie is of the Intelligence and is my support while at the same time, my superior at work and I get my jobs from them. Sooo we wait.'

What can they say to that?

And so...

'Ohhh! This is nice! I'm all up for free eats!' Cross relished as after a harrowing night, they have had breakfast even if they all went cold, and there's still fresh water.

'Darling, you're getting a tad too skinny than last time I saw you, eat up!' Allen was perfectly happy serving a freaking-out Kanda.

'Get off my case you-! And we've been in the frigging Ark for a couple hours!'

'You didn't mind him kissing you last time.' Lavi reminded, earning him yet another punch as Allen squealed and blushed like a maiden and happily kissed Kanda who got frozen stiff before pushing him off, swearing expletives.

'Hey Allen, my legs are starting to have feeling back.' Lenalee told him.

'Oh, that's good! But what about your thing?'

'Oh!' Lenalee took out her purple innocence. 'It went purple after the guys beat her and she somehow ran off...'

'Well, it depends on your resolve and heart now however cheesy that sounds. Its still your partner and you're still connected and considering its evolution, it will change to suit you. But just incase, wait for Blondie to study it because it didn't look like that earlier. Just don't tell anyone you don't trust or you'll end up in a lab.' he warned the spooked girl.

'And how can your friend study her innocence here in the middle of nowhere?' Cross asked him but its Tiedoll who answered.

'They combine magic and tools.' said Tiedoll. 'Blondie even repaired and upgraded everyone's Innocences, one hour per person when they usually take days to fix. He even complained how primitive our technology is in comparison.' he said, holding up his now gothic-looking equipment. His cross and scepter now have a more gothic look to them than last time. 'They have interesting taste in art though.'

'Heee...'

'But still,' said Bookman as the teens talked with each other. 'Their organization knows too much. Even things I wasn't witness to. I never even knew what was the Order like before Komui took over so it means they have eyes everywhere and they don't see the Order in a good light as a result. Lavi told me that much in our language. Most likely, since the Order is involved, they will not allow the Akuma Egg in our hands.' Cross then glanced at Allen.

'...ain't that a kick in the balls.'
