Chapter 1- Betrayal
Allen, Lenalee, Kanda, Lavi, and Link were on a mission to retrieve some Innocence in America. They're in the city of Jamestown. Apparently, soldiers who died during the American Revolution has been raised from their graves and wreaking havoc on the town for a few weeks now.
Allen and the team are on their way to the town, "So, how could Innocence bring back the dead?" asked Allen.
"Who cares?" replied Kanda.
"I do. This will definitely be one to write down in our records." said Lavi.
Lenalee came up and said, "I have a theory here. My brother told me that some Innocence lets out a lot of energy even when not in use. So, maybe, all of that energy was absorbed by the dead bodies and manifested inside of them and probably gave them new life, however, with the minds of Akuma."
"That sounds possible," said Allen, "What do you think, Link?"
Link said, "I don't know much about Innocence, so I wouldn't know. And besides, I'm only here to keep an eye on you, Walker."
"Hey!" shouted Kanda, "We're here."
They arrived at Jamestown, which seems to be a ghost town. All the buildings were destroyed, and there wasn't a single person in sight. But there was a smell in the air. The smell of blood. "You know, for an object that's supposed to protect people, it's not doing a very good job. I mean, this place reeks of blood," Allen stated.
"Usually, some pieces of Innocence will do anything to draw attention so it could be found. So, it probably caused all of this destruction to attract our attention," replied Lavi.
"I know, but still. The walking dead should be enough."
Kanda started walking away from the group. "Hey! Where you going, Yu?" asked Lavi. Lavi ducked just in nick of time to dodge Kanda's mugen.
"Next time you call me Yu, I will make sure I don't miss. Anyway, I'm heading to the graveyard. If these 'zombies' are indeed dead bodies that absorb energy from Innocence, then that means Innocence has to be near where the dead bodies were buried, so I'm going to check there first."
"Alright," said Lavi.
Allen and the others arrived at the cemetery. There were holes everywhere and in the middle was a huge statue of George Washington. Then, Allen asked, "Now, where would Innocence be?" Just as Allen finished his sentence, his eye activated with three dots indicating Akuma are coming. Allen activated Crown Clown Innocence, and turned his left arm into his exorcist sword. "We've got company! Two level 3s and a level 4."
"Innocence, Activate!"
"Innocence, Activate!"
"Big Hammer, Little Hammer, grows, grow, grow!" The other three activated their Anti-Akuma weapons just as a big explosion erupted. Debris flying everywhere damage what little that was left undamaged, and knocking down one of the arms of the George Washington statue. Out of the smoke, appeared the Level 4.
The level 4 sighed and said, "I need to work on my aim. I was aiming for their heads but oh well." Two level 3 Akumas appeared behind the level 4. "Let's kill them."
The three Akumas charged at Allen. "Get ready!"
Rouvelier was standing in his room looking out the window, thinking, 'I wonder if the 14th awaken inside of Mr. Walker during this mission. He might be a problem to the order, I'm glad I gave the other's a second mission.'
-FLASHBACK-
Rouvelier, Allen, Kanda, Lenalee, Link and Komui were in Komui's office, which surprisingly, wasn't covered with paper work. Komui just finished explaining the mission. Then, Rouvelier cut in and said, "Chief Komui and Allen Walker, would you two please step outside of a minute?"
"Very well," they both said. The two then, left the office leaving Rouvelier, Lenalee, Kanda, Lavi, and Link alone in the room.
Rouvelier started off, "By the information that General Marian Cross has given me, we believe that Allen might become the new 14th Noah. We don't know if he'll be any trouble, but if he does show any signs of being a Noah, to be on the safe side, you are to kill young Walker immediately."
Link nodded. "Yes sir."
Kanda shrugged. "Whatever."
Lenalee and Lavi both shouted out, "What?"
Lenalee turned to both Kanda and Link. "How can you two remain so calm about killing Allen?"
Link answered, "I only follow the orders I am given.
Kanda said, "I don't care about moyashi. If the Order views him as a threat and I have to get rid of him so be it."
Lavi asked, "How can you be so heartless, Yu?"
Kanda hit Lavi on the head with his Mugen while it was still in its sheathe. "I told you not to call me by that name! And I don't really give a damn about what happens as long as I get my mission done."
Rouvelier butted in and said, "Ms. Lee, Bookman! You two will kill Mr. Walker should he show signs of turning into a Noah! Do you understand me?"
Lavi said, "No way!"
"Mr. Bookman, if you refuse to follow this order, I will prevent you and other Bookmen from using the information obtain forever."
Lavi let out a sigh. "Fine," Lavi agreed reluctantly. Lavi's duty as a Bookman comes first. He needs to gather information for the Bookmen, and if he ever get the Book man banded from the Order's information, Bookman would kill him even though it killed him to agree to killing his best friend should he need to.
"Lavi!" Lenalee shouted out. "How could you?"
Lavi said, "My job as a Bookman comes first."
"So your job is more important than your friend?"
"Miss Lee!" Rouvelier interrupted. "If you don't do as you're told, I'll have your brother and numerous members executed for your defiance!" Lenalee looked at Rouvelier with an expression that she both shock and saying You-wouldn't-dare. Rouvelier said in a more calming tone, "Now, which is more important to you? Your brother, or your friend?"
Lenalee said, "I thought the Black Order was meant to protect people."
"Some things need to be sacrifice in order to win wars, Miss Lee. Now, tell me, can you really sacrifice lives of numerous people including your brother's just to save one little insignificant boy?"
Lenalee said in a quiet yet furious tone, "Allen is not insignificant."
Rouvelier let out a sigh. He could tell Lenalee wouldn't kill Allen no matter what happens, but then an idea popped into his head. "Well, Allen is still going to die because of the Noah inside of him. So tell me this, would you rather have Allen die as an exorcist or the traitorous Noah?"
Lenalee couldn't come up with an agreement. This was checkmate. Lenalee thought about it for several minutes before saying, "Alright. I will fight Allen if, and ONLY IF, he shows signs of turning into a Noah."
Rouvelier let out a smile of satisfactory. "Good girl. You are dismissed." Everybody left the room to depart on their mission.
-FLASHBACK ENDS-
Back with Allen and the others. The two level 3s have just been killed and level 4 was missing both legs and its left arm. Luckily for it, it had wings so it could fly around and its right arm has been transformed. He looked over at Allen, who was in front of the George Washington statue, and fired at him. Allen dodged the storm of bullets, and they blew away the statue.
Allen noticed there was a small hole emitting green light from where the statue used to be. He called out to the other, "Hey! I found the Innocence!"
Lavi yelled back, "Good job Short Stack! Come on! Let's finish off this Akuma and go home."
As the others performed finished blow on the level 4, Allen reached into the hole and grabbed it, green sparks shout out everywhere. AT that moment Allen's skin turned gray, his eyes changed from gray to gold, and crosses were formed over his forehead.
Link, who was avoiding a battle, noticed Allen's transformation and went over to Kanda, Lenalee, and Lavi who just killed the level 4. "Oi! Allen just transformed into a Noah! We need to finish him off now!"
Kanda said nothing. Lavi nodded. And Lenalee said, "Damn."
Link brought out his Crow seals and formed them around Allen. Allen then asked, "Hey, what's going on?" Then, he noticed Kanda who cut him right across the chest. Allen eyes widened as blood started spew out from his chest. "Why are you doing this?" Then he saw Lenalee attack him with her Dark Boots. As she charged at Allen, he could have sworn he saw a tear in her eye, but he didn't get a good look as she kicked him hard in his gut. The forced sent him flying into the air. "Why?" he choked out as he started to cry. Then Lavi came up, had his hammer grow and hit Allen in the side flying east.
As Allen went flying away, Link noticed the Innocence that Allen had collected, and the one that was in his left arm, were falling down to Earth. He walked over and picked up the pieces of Innocence. He then said, "He must be dead now. His Innocence that was in his left arm has been left behind."
Lenalee started crying over killing one of her best friends. Then, Lavi hugged her to comfort her. He then said to Link and Kanda, "I hope you two are happy."
Kanda said nothing. Link said, "As long as we collect Innocence and complete the mission, I'm always happy." That turned out to be a lie. As soon as he turned away and left, a tear rolled down his cheek.
Later that night, the group of exorcist was on a ship heading back to headquarters, and Lenalee was in her room, laying down on her bed, crying over the fact that they just killed Allen. Lenalee heard a knock at the door and she heard Lavi's voice ask, "Lenalee, may I come in?"
Lenalee sat up on her bed, wiped away her tears, and said, "Come in, Lavi."
Lavi entered the room, and sat down on the bed next to Lenalee. "How are you feeling, Lenalee?"
"How do you think I'm feeling?" she retorted. "I just killed one of my best friends today! I feel like my world has been torn apart! Speaking of which, how could you have turn against Allen so easily?"
Lavi looked down at the floor not answering Lenalee's question for a moment. It wasn't easy, Lenalee, but it's for my job. My job is everything to me. I don't know what I would do if I wasn't a Bookman. But believe me it wasn't easy for me to kill Allen either." Lenalee started to cry some more, and Lavi wrapped his arms around Lenalee. "There, there, Lenalee. Let it all out." Lenalee did as Lavi told her to and she started to bawl as loud as she could.
