Chapter 1: A New Project

After the attack of the level 4 Akuma on the main branch head quarters, the members of all of the other branches were working hard on repairing and refortifying the base. Well...not everyone....

Koumi Lee was asleep at his desk with only one stack of papers still needed to be signed on the right-hand corner of his desk. As the head supervisor, it job to sign off on anything. Komui had pulled a late-nighter and now was dead beat this morning. He stayed up that late not only to get some work done but also he was worrying about Allen, Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda and all of the other exorcists that left the order on various missions; he was worried the most about Allen since he took it upon himself to go find the Earl.

"Bu-..but Lenalee." he muttered in his sleep, "you can't marry Allen-kun...you're both too young yet..."

Fou walked into Komui's office on the look for Komui. He was needed on the research floor for something and they sent Fou to look for him. She became aggravated at the sight of Komui still asleep. "Loser!" Fou shouted, hitting Komui hard on the head. "Wake up and help us out!"

Sometimes Fou wondered how on Earth Komui had become in charge of HQ. Then she remembered Bak was in charge of the Asian Branch. There must be something seriously wrong with the guy who appoints these people. She thought to her self

The force of the kick sent Komui flying back into his chair and his chair was pushed to the back wall; Komui was still asleep. "Lenalee..." he mumbled still, "I didn't mean it...you can marry Allen...don't kick me so hard..." Komui snored loudly. Not much could wake up Komui and after being kicked a number of times by Lenalee, his sense of pain was dulled a little

Fou twitched. She kicked Komui harder in the head. "WAKE UP!!!!!!" she shouted but there was still no response. Irritated, she went in search of Reever--the only person in the Order she knew who could wake up a sleeping Komui.

Lou Fa was looking for the supervisor to ask him if he had something she could do. Everyone was busy with repairing everything, but no one seemed to need her help. She sighed and spotted Fou. "Fou?" Lou Fa approached Fou and smiled. "Do you know where the supervisor is?" At least Fou was someone she knew, so she could ask her. Too bad Allen wasn't in; she would love to see him.

"That moron's sleeping," Fou grumbled, crossing her arms. "I kicked him, and he still wouldn't wake up! What's wrong with these stupid people?"

Komui was bad enough, but there were all kinds of annoying people around. Johnny wouldn't shut up about Tapp and was making quite a racket. Yeah, it was sad his friend had died, but that was the nature of war. Then there was Bak and his stupid Lenalee obsession. Oh, and she couldn't forget Jerry and his... questionable nature. "Speaking of stupid people, where's Bak?"

"I wonder..." Lou Fa sweat-dropped and sighed. She wouldn't like to disturb the supervisor is he was sleeping, even though he could try to help out a little. Not that she was doing a lot herself. "U-uhm... I don't know, I haven't seen him around..." Rikei and Shifu were nowhere to be found either. They were probably busy, just like she should be.

"Darn, and here I thought I could cheer myself up with him." She wasn't referring to hanging out with him--she'd been plotting to take her frustrations out on him. "Anyway, have you seen Reever? Someone needs to wake up that lazy guy with the glasses."

"You must be getting along well..." Lou Fa said, blushing slightly. She had been wondering about Fou and Bak's relationship, but never dared to ask. Maybe they're secretly dating?! "Reever-san? Mmm... I think he must be around. Shall I help you search for him?" She asked, hoping she could help with something. And she needed the supervisor anyway, so if finding Reever would wake him up that would be great.

Fou could tell that once again the fangirl had gotten the wrong idea. She shrugged it off, though. "Yeah. Two sets of eyes are better than one. Let's check the nearest cave-in of books." She searched around the department. Everyone was rushing around like busy bees. "Damn. Where could he be?"

"Okay!" She happily answered. Lou Fa followed Fou around but didn't saw Reever anywhere. It was difficult to find a person in this crowded place. She almost bumped in to a guy and apologized because he dropped something. This isn't going well... "I-I don't know. It almost seems impossible to find him here..."

Reever was annoyed beyond belief. He was running around the order, carrying stacks of paper from one end of the order to the other. Then once he reached that destination, he had another stack of papers to carry to the other end. It was a never ending cycle.

Pouting, Reever thought to himself, Damn Level 4. Because of that thing, everyone's been running around crazy! It's so frustrating. Not only that, I haven't seen the Chief all day. Knowing him, he's probably sleeping somewhere.

It was then that Reever saw Lou Fa and Fou. Reever walked up to them and said, "Hey, have either of you seen the Chief? I got a bunch of papers he needs to go through...again."

"That moron's sleeping in his office. I tried kicking him to wake up, but he just keeps dreaming about his sister." Fou was a little happier now that she'd found Reever, but she was still pissed about Komui. "How about when you wake him up I take a crack at him for not waking up before."

Reever sighed and walked ahead of Fou and Lou Fa, attempting to signal them to follow. "There's only one way you can wake that guy up. But Fou, don't go messing with him when, or even if he gets up. All of us in the science department have been running wild the past couple of days. Chief Komui probably pulled an all-nighter again."

The three of them walks into Komui's office. Reever gently placed his stack of papers on Komui's desk--on the far side of his desk--and walked up next to Komui. He leaned down next to his ear and said, "Lenalee's getting married."

Koumi Heard Reever's voice in his dreams and he responded back as he was now half awake, half asleep. "Huh?" Komui said lazily as his eyes were peeking open, "You know too?" Komui blinked a few times and expected to see Reever standing besides him and Allen and Lenalee holding hands in front of him. However, he saw Reever hovering over him and Lou Fa and Fou standing in front of him, instead.

"Ohayo" he said rubbing the back of his head and then let out a loud yawn. "Gomen guys, I was up all night signing papers. See?" Komui said as he pointed at the very short stack of papers on the right hand corner of his desk of that work that still needed to be down when usually it was multiple 3 foot tall stacks. Koumi looked over to the left side and saw another taller stack had now appeared on his desk. He sighed and drooped his shoulders and said, "I'm going to need coffee if I'm going to keep working like this..."

"What. Are. You. Talking. About?" Fou asked, raising an eyebrow. "Allen and Lenalee aren't getting married. Not if Bak can help it."

Lou Fa sweat-dropped and thought the supervisor was an 'interesting' person. However, she did not like the whole 'Allen and Lenalee' thing. But since Fou said that they weren't getting married she decided to let it be.

Koumi grabbed the first bundle of papers and looked over the first page. Koumi's dreary face suddenly changed into one of bright enthusiasm. he chuckled to himself and asked Reever, "So they finally approved of this?"

Fou turned to leave, but paused when he heard something about someone approving something. Her curiosity peaked, and she decided to listen in.

Reever leaned in and looked at whatever Komui had asked him about. He smirked and said, "Oh yeah, they finally did. Too bad it took so long, though. But at least it's ready now!"

Reever didn't notice this form when he first grabbed the stack of papers. But he was more than happy to be the one to deliver such a wonderful plan to the head chief.

"So, did you already have it all set up or what? Knowing you, you would've built the thing whether it was approved or not."

Koumi snickered at Reever's assumption and said, "Naw, this thing is too complex to build all by myself." Komui held his index finger up and added, "But I did start the frame work and I finished converting the data from Timicampy so the main assembly is ready to start later today."

Reever jumped up and stood up straight. He grabbed Komui by the neck collar and shouted, "Then what are we waiting for?! Why don't we go work on it now?! The less time we waste, the quicker this thing will be built and fully functional."

Reever was beyond eager to get working on this project; for it would change the ways things worked here around Headquarters. Or at least, that's how it looked in Reever's mind, that is.

"C-can I help?" Lou Fa asked, hoping she could help with whatever Komui was working on.

As Reever shook Komui violently, he tried to spurt out, "What I meant...by later today...is any time...today..." Komui pushed himself away from Reever and said, "I there's a few more documents that I need to sign to give us the green light. While I do that though you can assemble the team so we're ready when after I sign these documents."

Koumi sat down with the document as he heard Lou Fa ask to help. "Ummm...if you're not supposed to be doing anything else..." Komui said as he thought about where he could possibly fit Lou Fa on the team; so many people signed up to help with the assembly, even Bak. "I suppose you can help." he said as an idea came to him and he added, "I hear you';re good with diagnostics. You can help Bak with the number crunching and the data transfer to the robot."

Reever nodded and then looked at Fou. He wondered if she would like to help them with their little project, and if she would like to help him get everyone together. "Say, Fou, you probably have nothing better to do, so you want to help me get everyone? We need quite a few people for this project, and the quicker we can get them all together, the faster this thing will be done!"

Once again, Reever started to get excited. He couldn't wait for this robot to be built!

Fou's jaw dropped. They were actually encouraging Komui to make a robot? "I'll help you find everyone if you explain what you guys are building this robot for," she stated flatly. She wasn't about to let Komui help create something that could potentially destroy the Order like all his Komlins.

Komui looked at Fou with a sincere face and then looked through the document for the design drawings. As he looked he explained to her, "It's a defense robot for the Order. As you can tell, we don't always have exorcists around to defend the Order...so we're building one."

Koumi finally found the drawing and held it up for Fou to see. by looking at the designs, one could tell that it was humanoid type robot instead of those giant things Komui kept making. It was a little over 5 feet tall, and had the composition of a lean teenage boy. the specs showed that they would dress it in black pants, a white dress shirt and a gray and black vest. The left arm was left bare and was drawn to be black with knife like claws at the end of each finger and a circle in the middle of the palm for a laser cannon shot. It also was designed to be covered in a synthetic skin and they used really thin, fiber optic strands to mimic hair. If one looked close enough at it, it looked a lot like Allen Walker with his left arm of his new innocence activated.

Fou choked down a laugh. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say Lou Fa's fantasies are coming true. She gets a robot Allen instead of the real thing." She grinned evilly at Lou Fa to see what her reaction to her teasing would be. She hoped it would be just as much fun as picking on Bak. If it wasn't, she'd just be forced to find Bak to torture instead.

Lou Fa blushed and quickly looked the other way. "W-w-what makes you think I like W-Walker-san?" Did Fou figure it out? Was she really that obvious? She had to make up some kind of excuse, otherwise... who knows what will happen! "I-I don't really..." Lou Fa noticed that her face was still red and avoided any kind of eye contact.

Fou's grin turned darker. "Then you wouldn't mind if I had the real thing?" she asked. She was enjoying every second of torturing Lou Fa. This was payback for all those annoying moments at the Chinese Branch. "You'd let me have Allen Walker all for myself?"

"Eh? You can't! Because Walker-san is m-... my good friend and..." Think Lou Fa, think! You really gave yourself away! "And... he won't have time for a girlfriend! Y-yes, no time!" She sighed and hoped Fou would buy it, since that was the best thing she could come up with. As long as Allen will never hear about this... But didn't Fou like Bak?! Why would she be after Walker-san?!

Fou was getting bored with teasing Lou Fa. "All right, Reever, who are we looking for?" she asked. "I have a feeling I know where Bak is if you need him, but who else do we need to find?"

"Go find Bak first." Koumi said to the three of them, "He's the one with the program data; a robot can't function at all without a program. Reever also knows the rest of the team members and they're mostly all number crunching in the library." With that, Komui started signing off on the papers referring to the robotic Allen project. He then would soon after finish off the two small piles on his desk and for once in his life time have a cleared desk.

Bak sat at his desk holding a small picture to his chest. "My beautiful Lenalee" he whispered. He casted at glance arounded him to make sure no one saw him. He slip the picture back into his pocket and stared down at the numbers on the papers Komui gave him earlier. "Let do this!" He set to work, all the while dream of his Lenalee.

Fou nodded and ambled away. She found him relatively quickly. "Bak!" she called. "BAK!!!!" she shouted again when he didn't answer her. He was too busy signing papers to notice her, so she kicked him in the head.

"Bak, they're ready to work on the Allen-bot," she said when she finally got his attention.

Bak glared at Fou. He got up and crossed his arms. Rolling his eyes at her, he picked up his papers and turned to face Fou. "Lead the way."

Fou nodded again and led the way to where Reever, Komui, Lou Fa, and many others running around. They were already started to put together the basic skeleton of the robot.

Komui finished signing everything at lighting speeds because he was so excited to get this show on the road. He gathered everyone he could find that Signed up and started them on their work; everyone else was just as excited as he and Reever were.

As Komui supervised the skeletal assembly, he heard Reever, Fou, Lou Fa and Bak come up from behind them. "Ahh, just in time." Koumi said as he greeted the group, "Bak, Lou Fa, the main program is stored on those computers over there. If you would please start on that we'll stay on track. Reever, Johnny could use your help on assembling the left arm; that's the most complex part as you should well know."

As they all rushed to their stations, all that were left standing around was Komui and Fou. Koumi eyed Fou peculiarly and asked, "Do you maybe want to help out Fou? I'm sure there's something around here that you could help out on."

Bak walked to the computer, but glanced back when he heard what Komui said to Fou. He started to laugh. "I can just see her now... A fangirl making an Allen look-a-like. She will be drooling all over it." Bak shook his head. "Shame Shame. Bad Fou, you know you can't have Allen. Give up before you get hurt." he teased. He patted her shoulder before returning to the computer.

"Like hell I like Walker!" Fou snapped, kicking Bak in the head, Again. "Walker's just a nut job and a bean sprout!" She wasn't Lou Fa. She wasn't obsessed with Allen Walker. Truth be told, she had a crush on Bak, but she would rather have her tongue ripped out than admit it, though.

Komui shook his head at the two of them. After observing how they fought like a married couple, it was obvious they had small feelings for each other. As for Allen...he knew who he liked but he'd rather not talk about that...

"Either way Fou." Koumi said to get off that subject, "would you like to help us construct the Allen Robot?"

"Someone's gotta keep you and Baka Bak from blowing up the Order, right?" she said with a resigned sigh. "Sure. I'll help however I can."

Bak glared at Fou. "O, my dear does this mean we shall wed." Bak said in a teasing voice. " Oh my heart is brusting with joy.. Oh wait never mind it was just my food come back up after seeing your face." Bak laughed. He quickly stepped out of Fou's line of fire. Bak watch Fou carefully. Bak had a little crush on her but didn't want to admit it.

Fou took another swing at Bak, but one of the Science Department (she was too mad and busy focusing on injuring Bak to see who) held her back. "LEMME AT THAT LOSER!!!!!!!!!" she shouted, swinging wildly. Komui held back Fou before she could charge Bak and possibly rip his head off "LEMMEATHIMLEMMEATHIMLEMMEATHIM!!!!!!!!!!" She was pissed and not about to calm down until she'd tied Bak into a knot.

Bak laughed. " God Fou calm down." He waved his hand at her. "Be a good girl and behave." Bak laughed as he took the other way around Fou. Putting more distance between them as he passed. He headed back to the computer and started on his work again all while keeping an eye on the still raging Fou. 'God she can be scary.' .

"C'mon Fou." Komui said nervously to her as he scrambled to keep her held back, "Let's go and work on the power system." Komui tried to drag Fou away as they continued to bicker until an interesting bit of information caught his ear.

Fou kept glaring at Bak before an evil smile came across her face. "Bak... I'll tell Komui and Lenalee your little secret," she threatened. Bak never wanted anyone knowing about his stalking Lenalee for pictures. Hell, he didn't want anyone knowing he so much as liked her. Fou had only stumbled upon it because she'd kicked him while he was carrying "important" documents.

"Nani?" Komui said in a suspicious voice as he glared at Bak, his glasses shimmering eerily off of the light from the ceiling. Komui was aware that Bak had some level of feelings for his precious Lenalee but he wondered if there was a whole 'nother level to his affection to his sister.

"Oh yeah," Fou said, smirking. She was facing Komui but watching Bak from the corner of her eye. "You'd love to hear some of Bak's hobbies! Why don't you tell him, Bak?"

Bak grew pale. "It's nothing Komui!" he retorted worriedly "I'm sorry Fou." He took a deep breath and walked over to where Fou stood, waiting for the hit he was about to receive.

Fou bopped Bak on the head. It wasn't too violent, as she figured she'd tortured him enough with her threats. "Bak likes bug collecting," she said with a grin. "If I remember right, Lenalee's afraid of bugs... Or maybe not." She shrugged. She'd successfully diffused the situation, she thought. "All right, Komui. What do you need me to do?"

Komui eyed the two of the curiously; he had a feeling that she was lying and there was something more to do with Lenalee here but in reality, Komui didn't really want to know. He turned around and beckoned Fou to follow him. "Well, I need help calibrating the power supply." Komui explained as he looked at Fou's confused face, "All I need is an extra pair of hands. I won't make you do anything too complex."

The two of them walked over to a cylindrical vessel with pipes and wires hooked up to it that looked like it could hold three people in it. Komui pulled the lever on the side of it down and a small panel opened up on vessel. As the green light from the open panel faded, one could clearly see an Innocence suspended in a glass container. "This is what we're using to power the Robo-Allen." Komui explained as he put on a pair of heavy, leather gloves, "it was the only power source we could find that would supply enough power."

Komui started shifting through his electrical tools and he explained, "That piece of Innocence in particular was actually retrieved by Allen on his first mission. It was used to power a doll made centuries ago. We figured if it could power a doll back then, It should power a robot now."

Reever was helping Johnny assemble the robot's left arm. This is insane, Reever thought. Probably the craziest thing I ever had to put together...

Reever lifted his head away from the arm-in-process and looked over his shoulder. He listened to what Komui was saying about the power supply, and then watched him and Fou walk away. I myself haven't seen the power source yet... Let alone how we're gonna get this arm working properly...

Reever shrugged and decided on asking Komui; where him and Fou just went was a very crowded room, at least that's what he's been told. With that, Reever went back to assembling the robot's left arm.

So this crazy robot's being powered by Innocence... Fou thought as she followed Komui. She watched as Lou Fa reported that she'd finished. "So, what do you need us to do now?" she asked, crossing her arms.

Lou Fa finished calculating everything and nodded. She hoped she didn't make a mistake and slowed down everyone. Actually, she was looking quite forward to the activation of the robot, but no one had to know that.

She left the computer alone and walked off to look for Komui. "Supervisor? I'm done!" Lou Fa smiled and was getting a little nervous.

Komui pulled out a soldering tool and some soldering wire and went back to the container as he heard Lou Fa report in and Fou ask what they were doing. "Good Lou Fa." he responded to her first as he took the top document and looked it over quickly, "Go tell Bak to commence with the download."

"Alright Fou" Komui said to her as he warmed up his soldering tool, "Let's get to work ourselves."....
