Allen walked down the clean halls of the new headquarters, closely followed by Kanda. The two had become rather close after the incident with the 14th, Kanda even stopped calling Allen 'Beansprout' and had settled for 'Moron', 'fool' or 'Old man' on account of his hair.

The two entered Komui's office and sat next to all the other exorcists and sighed at the silence.

"Well" Growled Kanda, "Why did you gather ALL of us hear even though we have better things to do" He barked. Komui sighed before pointing to a golden piece of parchment that had been pinned onto the notice board.

"You could call it an assignment, from the Pope himself"

At this everyone snapped out of their bad mood and leaned forward, as though not wanting to miss a blink Komui made.

"It has come to his attention that there is a new type of akuma. It isn't necessarily all that harmful on its own, However when around humans with a tormenting past they become frighteningly dangerous. This akuma has the ability to become your worst experiences. It can become the father that beat you, or the mother that killed your family, or even the akuma that came the closest to killing you. But whats worse is that it reduces you to the state you were when that event happened, So if a murderer killed your family when you were 7 then the akuma would become the murderer and turn you back into a 7 year old, including your memories." Komui took a sip of coffee after his words.

"So whats the mission?" Mumbled Miranda

"These new akuma don't work if the person is no longer afraid of that event." Komui walked over to an odd looking gun and grinned his evil grin. "This little baby will do exactly what the akuma will do only it wont kill you. So find a buddy."

"Why do we need a buddy?" Asked Allen, already clung onto Kanda.

"To look after each other. Only one of the two buddies will do this today, the other is to look after the person, stop them from killing themselves or others." Kamui pushed a button on the gun and lifted it up. "One more thing. This will change your appearance and you memory however the people who are going through there fears will be in the aria of the event while their buddies will only see what is attached to them. Be it chains, cloths or weapons. Whatever you face, if you die you start again. You must face your fear and win without your present memory"

The smiling man pulled the trigger and a blue beam burst out and hit Miranda. The girl fell unconscious before turning into a little girl in a night dress, covered in ash and cuts. Lenalee picked her up before walking towards her room. Next went Lavi, then Marie, Then the gun was aimed at Allen only Allen had dived behind the couch.

"Allen?" Questioned Kanda

"i...It's nothing" Allen mumbled.

"Then come out" Komui said rather high.

"If your nervous that you'll be judged then don't. It's only us three in hear, I'm basically a science experiment and Komui only joined the order for his sister so don't worry"

Allen shook his head and hugged his kneed however Komui didn't have any time to waste and shot him. Allen fell unconscious before a bright light engulfed him. His body began to grow slightly. His while hair turned black and grew longer and longer. The boy began to get pulled off the floor by a strong force until he was standing with his arms up. Chains appeared around his wrists and ankles, a collar tied around his neck and his cloths missing. A loud scream rang from Allen's mouth as three thick polls appeared through him, attached to the floor. The boys skin turned dark grey, his scar vanished and in its place appeared black stigmata around his forehead.

Kanda fell back and looked up at Allen.

"What...is...?" He choked looking over at Komui who looked equally shocked.

"Get him to your room without being seen" Komui finally managed to say.
