LQ/MQ by Bludshock (DDL) || (DDL2) || (RS) || (Online)

Rabi's Hi-ban is headed straight for Allen. Allen guards and attempts to deflect the attack by slicing through it. It doesn't work, the flaming serpent only divides in two and both sides pound on the exorcist. Allen realizes that his sword is useless against innocence, but he barely has a moment of thought before Rabi attacks the distracted boy. Even with Rabi bearing down on him, Allen refuses to change his weapon, he knows it will injure Rabi. He calls out to him again in an attempt to bring him around, but Rabi unflinchingly unleashes his heaven seal on Allen. Linali calls out to Rabi too, urging him to stop. Rodo tells her that her calls are useless because his heart has died. Rabi advances on the fallen Allen, but with a burst of strength, the beaten exorcist drives his sword straight through him..but he goes beyond Rabi's body and instead lunges the sword towards Rodo. Allen has figured that if she is controlling him, then he better do away with her! The sword hits it's target and she is stunned, falling over herself, the sword penetrating straight through her. But a strange laugh comes from her..she sits up and to Allen's surprise, she easily pulls the sword from her..unharmed. She reminds him that all attacks on her were useless in the rewinding town and that she cannot be hurt because no one knows what her true form is. The form before them is not real! Weaponless now, she thrusts his sword into the ground and the boy once again finds himself engulfed in Rabi's flames. Inside the torrent, Allen realizes that the flames are somehow not burning him, but the candles are melting all around them from the heat. Rabi realizes that he is not moving of his own accord..inside Rodo's dream world, the real Rabi is sitting up. Fake Rabi looks on only to see the real Rabi had actually stabbed himself in an effort to regain control over his heart, he knew if he let his heart die he would lose consciousness forever, so to keep himself alert he stabbed himself. He rises to his feet. Outside, Rabi's body is creating a seal under himself as he plans for the ultimate sacrifice, taking himself out of the equation. Though the Hi-ban is burning him, he wields it also towards Rodo who jumps out of the way in time, however it's only a diversion. A dagger suddenly sticks out from within her. The real Rabi that has been imprisoned inside her is stabbing through. He has figured out that the Allen illusion, sprawled on the floor in the dream Rodo created, is actually Rodo herself disguised! Of all the people she could have posed as in that space..she would have picked Allen to impersonate because of her fondness for him. Back in the real world, she is obviously stunned but she reminds him that his dream of being bookman is over. He agrees and with a painful smile, says goodbye.

OMFG!! Allen attacking Rodo..Rabi stabbing her and sacrificing himself in the process!? WTF!? Is the manga really coming to a close? All the Noah seem to be falling..the Exorcists are also being taken out one by one. First Kanda, then Crowley..now Rabi too? I am starting to think that in the end..only Linali will survive at this rate..just like in her vision. Still I am a little skeptical that this will all head in the direction it seems to be heading. What of Miranda and other exorcists outside the Ark? What about the person Kanda was searching for? What ever happened to Cloud 9 and her role in this story? What about Rabi's eye and the other Noahs we have yet to meet. How about Mana's true story and Cross's role? It can't be coming to an end now..it simply can't but man people are dropping like flies. I am a little restless to see what happens next aaaaaaarrrrrrg! Crap I don't want Rodo to die..she is my faaaaave! ;_;
