The Noah Lulu Bell leads her army of Akuma to attack the Lab 5 of the Headquarters, where the Akuma Egg is being studied. The army injures almost the entire science department, preparing to turn them into Skulls; Tapp is the first to be transformed. Allen and Bookman arrive through the Ark just as Reever is about to be the second. Lulu Bell orders the Akuma to hold off the Exorcists until she has retrieved the Egg, throwing Allen immediately into battle. Lenalee and Lavi attempt to reach Allen, but they are stopped by Komui and locked into the infirmary. Lenlee begs Komui to let her go so she can see Hevlaska and re-synchronize with her Innocence. But Komui refuses, saying he cannot lose her. Meanwhile, Allen and Bookman still struggle with the endless army of level 3 Akuma. Lulu Bell opens up a gate, and prepares the Egg for retrieval.
