"How is Joyd♪, Tyki~?"

It's a cold tone, entirely unlike Rhode, the question completely unlike her. Rhode knows better than to ever question the eternal struggle between the Noah inside and the humanity that many surrender rather than give up the fight. Because Rhode, now more than ever, knows how difficult it is to reconcile humanity with your true purpose.

"I can show you what's coming. ♪"

Fuck. Why did she have to mention Joyd? Tyki holds back a growl, refusing to say anything about the Memory he refuses to allow to consume him.

Phasing through the hug, Tyki watches her warily.

"As I've stated before, I'm afraid I'll have to pass. I have other matters to attend to."

The scenery is already changing.

Tyki is now aboard the Ark, but he is only a bystander. Allen Walker is there, the Sword of Exorcism run directly through Tyki, pinning him against a wall. No one else is there that should be -- Lavi and Lenalee are absent. So is Rhode herself. It is only the two of them.

"Remember how much that hurt?" Rhode whispers, appearing just behind Tyki, watching with rapt attention. "The pain... but it's not so bad, now. You just ignore what's lying in the dark."

And then, even softer:

"But it will only take one thing to break your hold on it forever."

Tyki watches with emotionless eyes as he continues to stare the scene. His hands clenches into fists at his sides when he hears Rhode's voice, sparing the girl a glance over his shoulder.

"Really? And what would be the one thing that would break it, Rhode?"

And Rhode appears in front of him, eyes blank, emotionless, the Sword of Exorcism driven through her as she chokes. The ring of crosses wind tightly around her as her crown of thorns disappears. Her ash gray skin becomes tan and blood -- actual blood -- dribbles from the wound as she pitches forward.

Human.

And dead.

Just out of the corner of Tyki's eyes, Joyd -- in his full glory -- is lingering, just out of view, smirking almost maniacally as he views the scene. Blood. Death. The constant need to have more, the urgent screaming to satisfy bloodlust. The feeling is almost palpable in the air -- the feeling of satisfaction.

And while Rhode Kamelot lies human, dead, Joyd does not move to assist her.

His own scars began to ache, and he couldn't help but stand still in shock as Rhode appeared before him with the Sword through her. No, this isn't real. This is just a dream. Nothing but a dream.

But that still didn't mean Tyki wasn't going to stay still and leave her on the floor. He moves forward, crouching down beside Rhode as he starts to pick her up, though he freezes when he catches sight of Joyd. He growls.

"Enough with the dreams." Because this isn't funny. This isn't something he'd ever want to see. And she should know that.

"Who said it was a dream?"

The tone is soft and quiet, but it doesn't come from the body. It remains as lifeless as ever.

It comes from Joyd.

"Rhode said you didn't remember. Didn't she?"

"I remember well enough." Though, he's lying, and they both knew it.

Yet, Tyki refuses to admit to himself that it's quite disconcerting talking to Joyd, of all people. He'd rather take his chances with the Earl. Or the cheating lad.

"It's a dream because you're not here. You shouldn't be here." Not talking to him. Not taking that form with that kind of grin on his face. And surely, not while he was pleased to see Rhode - the Ninth Child - on the floor. Dead.

"I'm always here."

It's just a simple truth. Always there, always on the edge, always waiting.

And, suddenly, Joyd is at his side, stooping down to touch Rhode's cheek, a single finger wiping blood from the corner of his mouth to lick it with a grin.

He growls again, eyes glowing brighter as Tease begin to appear around him. Tyki glares at Joyd, the message clearly written in his eyes.

Don't you touch her.

Joyd only grins -- the same sadistic maniacal grin that he wore against Allen Walker within the Ark. The Tease don't seem to phase him at all; instead, it only seems to make the Noah more amused.

Like this fool with his attachments could ever defeat someone like him.

But the smile holds some familiar qualities -- the same cockiness, some hint of arrogance, the smirk Tyki wears whenever he talks to Allen and, to a certain extent, Rhode.

It's very much like looking in the mirror.

"The damned sprout needs to look out for himself." Kanda pressed the blade closer, but not by much. She was hiding something. He knew she was, but he didn't know what or who it involved.

But if he had to go by just how this fight started? He would have to guess it involved Alma, in some way. Somehow. It would be imposssible, though, considering they were never allowed to leave the lab.

It is, and that bothers Tyki more than he would care to admit.

But Tyki didn't care at the moment. He rather enjoys his attachments, knowing the pleasure of living two separate lives - unconsciously clinging to his White life more than he should have.

Tyki's hands twitches again, feeling that same familiar itch. The one that said to kill. To see blood, especially the blood of anyone who dared to harm Family. And right now, Joyd isn't family. He never will be, not in Tyki's mind and not while he's stuck in this dream.

"Isn't it time we end this?" End the dream. End it now.

"Alma Karma, where I am, is an akuma."

Rhode grins, clearly enjoying every single word.

"And dead."

Joyd's hands twitch in the same instance that Tyki's does.

"There is nothing to end. This is who you are."

And Joyd, fast as lightning, rips Rhode from Tyki's grip, Sword of Exorcism and all. The little girl is like a doll in his grip as he dangles her for Tyki to see.

Soon, others appear -- different members of the Family, made human, dead, bleeding on the ground. Cyril, Lulubell -- clinging to some remnant of human life that the Sword has given them, to stop themselves from dying.

Joyd steps backwards, dropping Rhode next to Cyril's dead body with a sickening 'thud', white teeth glinting in the darkness.

"This is your future."

Kanda's eyes widened at that before narrowing dangerously. He drew Mugen back, again, before moving to chop off Rhode's head again. That was not funny. Not funny at all.

The dead might be able to turn into akuma once called back, but everyone in that lab was killed. He and Marie were the only survivors. He never called for the Earl, and it was beyonf obvious Marie hadn't either.

"Don't fuck with me, Noah."

Rhode only laughed as the sword connects, her head dangling as her body works to heal herself.

And then, the scenery changed -- they were in Jordan -- Allen was there, along with Kanda, and Rhode -- all three of them standing among the wreckage as Alma Karma burst forth from the container he was kept in.

As the Akuma that he was.

Tyki doesn't react as Joyd takes Rhode away from him or when other members of the Family appears on the ground, bleeding or dead.

He keeps his eyes on the Memory as he gets back to his feet.

Then, Tyki laughs and smirks at Joyd.

"And who's to say that the future can be determined~? I won't turn into you." Because like Wisely said, Tyki's pride is the one thing that won't let the Noah of Pleasure be consumed by the Memory. He will forever refuse to give into it, even if it does mean death.

"You already have."

Joyd darts closer, grinning with the slightest hint of laughter in his throat.

"You feel it, every day, straining, and soon -- "

Joyd's hand darts forward to seize Tyki by the throat, dragging the Noah forward. He smells of blood.

"You will lose."

"Not now," Tyki replies, keeping the growl back as he stares at Joyd. He wraps his hand around Joyd's wrist.

The fact that Joyd smells of blood doesn't surprise him. It rarely ever does. And Tyki tightens his grip around the Memory's wrist.

Kanda turned as the scenery changed. He spotted Allen out of the corner of his eye but didn't call out to him. It was just a dream.

It was just a dream.

Still, there was no denying that the man - akuma - standing before him was Alma Karma. Alma Karma, nine years later.

It's just a dream. It has to be.

Joyd's fingers curls around Tyki's throat even more, cackling underneath his breath as he reaches forward, placing a hand against Tyki's chest, before phasing through it.

His claws graze his heart.

"Could you live with yourself if you killed someone you cared about?"

A shift and Joyd centers his hand directly through his scars.

"Would you even care?"

"I've been inside your head, Kanda Yuu."

Rhode's voice was a low growl as Alma moved forward.

"I was there."

He stiffens, gritting his teeth as he tries to ignore the pain his scars are beginning to give him.

Tyki tightens his grip, eyes completely emotionless as he stares at Joyd, refusing to answer his questions.

Kanda turned on his heels, bangs hiding his eyes from plain view as he spun around and moved to hack off Rhode's head again. He had no patience for these kinds of mind games. He had had enough.

Play time was over.

something wicked this way comes.

She'll be the most attentive well-behaved niece ever for, like. Months. Years.

Can Tyki have her to himself for the next few days after this event?

He won't be able to get rid of her. 8|

lmao. i don't think he'll mind.

Good, because she's going to be living in his room.

/snerk. Rhode will have two rooms to stay in now.

She practically has three because of Allen. /slowly takes over Nesreca

Do you need any more rooms, Rhode?

She needs at least twelve more plus a pony. Get to it, Tyki.

Where is he going to get the pony?

Well, she's sure some of the people evil!Tyki probably killed in Credinta had ponies.
