The Black Order

Allen walked down a path through the eerie woods and thought about his master Cross. He still couldn't believe Cross just dumped him there like that. If he didn't want to come along he didn't have to. It wasn't like Allen was going to force him to come along. For the last four years he had suffered through Cross's agonizing torture and through much labor. It is to be hoped that all this training and those blood sweating tears were worth it. Cross was worse than the akuma at times. Wait, hold the phone, not at times, but all the time.

Allen stopped walking and looked up at a large column made of stone. He twitched and Timcampy started flying upwards, signaling his destination was up there. Allen put his suitcase on his back and began climbing, cursing Cross every step of the way. Black bat like golems surrounded him and he had to occasionally swat them away so he could see where he was going. Timcampy wasn't any help to his cause either. He only rested on Allen's head. "Tim!"

The scientists and the few amount of exorcists were discussing many topics and having a nice conversation. Then Johnny pinpointed something on the computer. A white haired teen was climbing up the side of the 'mountain' and was by far impressive with this. He was doing it so efficiently. "Who's the kid?" Lavi asked.

"Uhh, I don't know." Lenalee mumbled, bending over and looking at the images. "Maybe he stumbled here by accident."

"I don't know. It sure doesn't look like it." Reever said, scratching his head.

"Someone go push him off. You know we don't allow outsiders." Komui said.

"Brother!"

"What's that flashing light?" Russell questioned, adjusting his glasses.

Lenalee looked back at the images and watched the boy stand up and start pacing towards the building, kinda spooked. Then a gold flash caught her eye. She narrowed her eyes to get a better look and found herself staring at a golden golem. "Hey brother, that's General Cross's golem." Lenalee remarked, pointing at Timcampy.

"Huh?" Komui stared at the screen and a glint went across his glasses. "It is."

Allen walked up to the building and the black golems got closer to him. He swatted them away from his face. He sighed and looked at the tall building as Timcampy landed on his head. Allen's eyes fell on Tim and the golden golem started chewing on his hair. "Tim! Knock it off." Allen shouted, pulling Timcampy off his head. "So, Timcampy, this is the place? The Black Order?"

Timcampy nodded and Allen smiled. Tim was probably hungry. Allen couldn't blame him. He felt the same, but that didn't give him the right to eat his hair. "Hello! Is anyone home? My name is Allen Walker and I was sent here on referral to create a meeting with an executive of the Order!" Allen shouted, looking around.

"He says he's on referral. Do you know anything about it chief?" Reever asked, putting an ear piece to his ear, staring at Komui.

"Afraid not."

"Well, have the gatekeeper do a physical exam." Reever muttered.

Lavi grinned and snuck out of the room and dashed down the halls. Bookman was the only one who saw this and shook his head in dismay. While Allen on the other hand was going through the process of being examined by a strange gatekeeper. The gatekeeper was freaking him out and he trembled a little. Why did Cross leave out the important details? "Failure!"

"What?" Allen murmured, twitching.

The sirens went off and sent many into chaos and fear. Allen listened to the gatekeeper's ranting about him failing and being an akuma. A minion of the Earl's. "No, no, no wait! There must be some misunderstanding. I'm human I swear! I admit that I'm cursed, but I'm a human being!" Allen shouted, frightened and worried.

A man dressed in a black cloak with a white bang coming down his face stood on a part of the building and Allen took many steps backwards. 'Not good. Not good at all.' Allen mused, watching the man's appearance transform and he jumped to the ground. "I've been waiting for a tasty snack. I wonder how you'll taste." Krory said.

"Wait, what? A snack?" Allen repeated incredulously, getting pale.

Timcampy left Allen's hand and Allen got frantic. Krory lunged forward and grinned sinisterly. Allen dodged the best he could each time and didn't want to attack, but the guy was getting faster and faster. Then out of nowhere he got hit by something and went flying into the wall. He groaned and rubbed his head. He eyed the two standing before him. A red head with an eye patch and a vampire looking dude. "You've got to be kidding me." Allen mumbled.

"You're such a foolish akuma. Trying to sneak in here and thinking you'll get away with it. Ha!" Lavi mocked.

"I can take care of this myself Lavi." Krory said.

"I don't doubt you fangboy, but I had to come. I'm a bit curious about this akuma." Lavi said, snickering.

"An akuma?" Allen asked, standing up. "I'm sorry to disappoint, but I'm no akuma."

"Give up the dang act. You're caught so why don't you just come out of hiding and show yourself? Then again, you don't have to fight and we can take care of you right now, making this painless." Lavi said, twirling his hammer.

"What I'm telling you is the truth." Allen said. Lavi sighed and pointed his hammer at Allen. Krory got ready to jump again and Allen suspected this. "But it seems I have no choice but to fight you. Maybe with this you'll believe me."

'Innocence, activate!' Allen ordered and his arm transformed into a giant gray-silver claw twice his size. Lavi's smile came back and Krory laughed, running towards Allen. Krory tried to strike Allen, but he used his arm to catch Krory then bang him on the ground. Lavi and the others were amazed by this sudden act, but Lavi found this a great challenge. "I don't want to fight you. Please, just hear me out." Allen said calmly.

"Hmmm, sorry pal. Can't do that. Unfortunately, we exorcists don't befriend akuma. Don't try to say you're not one either. That mark on your face is proof enough." Lavi said, raising his hammer and went to whack Allen, but Allen raised Krory, causing Lavi to stop. "You coward!"

"I refuse to fight you." Allen repeated, annoyed.

Krory eyed Allen conspicuously and looked at Allen's soft and determined eyes. He couldn't sense a deadly aura or the lust for his blood. Maybe the kid was telling the truth, but he couldn't just believe the kid. "Listen, my name is Allen Walker and I'm General Cross Marian's apprentice. I mean no harm." Allen said.

"Uh-huh. Of course you don't. The General never had an apprentice fella. Nice try." Lavi said.

Krory looked at Allen's arm and grinned. Allen was paying no attention. He was giving all of his attention to Lavi. Too bad for him. Krory opened his mouth and showed his sharp fangs and bit down on Allen's hand. Allen's eyes widened and he looked at Krory. "N- no way! A- a- a va- vampire!" Allen exclaimed, face getting blue.

Krory sucked Allen's blood, but then suddenly stopped. He struggled in Allen's hand and got free, running around, holding his throat. "It burns! Why does it taste so bad!" Krory screamed.

"Wha? Krory?" Lavi asked.

Krory stopped and got beside Lavi, staring at Allen. Allen was in total disbelief and was staring at his hand, bewildered. "Lavi, I don't think he is an akuma. His blood doesn't taste like one." Krory muttered.

"You serious Krory? But then why did the gatekeeper say he was?" Lavi queried.

"You two are pathetic. You can't take care of one measly akuma." Kanda said, jumping beside them.

"Wait, Kanda, hold on." Lavi said, deactivating his innocence.

It was too late. Kanda already unsheathed mugen and activated it. He glared at Allen and then lunged forward. Allen held his arm up in front of him in defense and Kanda cut it. 'I can't believe it! Both of them pierced my anti- akuma weapon!' Allen thought. Kanda stood up straight and put mugen's back on his hand. "How does your arm feel? It's about to blow up." Kanda said coldly.

"For the last time, I'm a human being! This is my anti- akuma weapon. I am an exorcist and have been sent here by my master, Cross." Allen said, deactivating his arm and holding it. It stung.

"Gatekeeper!"

"Just because he says he's human doesn't mean he is. I rather be safe than sorry. And he has a pentacle among his forehead. A marking of an akuma!" the gatekeeper cried.

Why did his eye always get him in to trouble? "No matter. I'll just cut you up and we'll see then. Prepare, to be slaughtered by the mighty mugen!" Kanda roared, rushing forward.

Allen panicked and pressed his back against the wall, holding his hands up, shouting. "No, wait! I can prove it! There should've been a referral letter sent by master!" Allen screamed.

Kanda instantly stopped, just in time. Mugen was pointed at Allen's head and it was ready to cut Allen's head off. "A letter? From the general?"

"Yes. It was addressed to some guy name Komui." Allen said, shuttering .

Everyone sighed and Lavi slapped his face. "KOMUI!"

Komui laughed sheepishly. "You! GO find that letter. It's on my desk!" Komui commanded.

"It might take awhile." the scientist said.

"That's a tall order chief." Reever noted.

"Are you serious brother?" Lenalee queried.

"I'll help you!"

Komui and Tadam went though the many papers and letters on and around Komui's office. The scientist found a torn up letter and raised it. "I found it. The letter is addressed from General Cross."

"Read it man!" Komui shouted.

"Dear Komui, I'm sending a kid named Allen Walker. Take good care of him. Oh crap." Tadam said.

"Sounds good to me. Hey Reever, you should stop Kanda, Lavi, and Krory. I'm going to refill my cup." Komui said.

"While you're at it you should clean up your office! Kanda stand down! All of you stand down! He's friendly! I repeat, he's friendly!" Reever claimed.

Lavi put his hammer away and Krory deactivated his innocence. Kanda just pushed mugen closer to Allen's head. "Mind filling me in Komui?" Kanda asked.

"The kid checks out. He's General Cross's apprentice. Having Timcampy with him should be proof enough, wouldn't you say?" Komui's voice said through the golem.

'And why wasn't it proof enough before?' Allen inquired in his mind. "Now apologize section leader."

"I didn't do anything wrong!" Reever shouted.

Komui drank his coffee and looked at Lenalee. She nodded, understanding what her brother wanted. She left and Komui was left to his thoughts. "So the kid was sent by Cross. Sounds like a perfect candidate for appraisal." Komui murmured.

Kanda's frown deepened and Lavi sighed for the umpteenth time that day. Lenalee came out and banged a metal clipboard on Kanda's head and Allen stared at her, looking her over from top to bottom. "Knock it off with the macho head games. Now get in before I shut the doors. I said, get in." Lenalee ordered.

Krory, Lavi, and Kanda did so and Allen slowly followed, being precautious. He made sure he had his suitcase and Timcampy. When he entered the doors closed and Kanda left sight. Allen wanted to say something, but didn't get the chance to. "Hey, I'm sorry about that. We good?" Lavi asked, putting an arm around Allen's shoulders.

"Uhh, yeah, sure. No problem." Allen told him.

"I'm sorry about biting your hand. I hope it doesn't hurt too much. You said your name was Allen, am I right? I'm Arystar Krory." Krory said.

"Yes. Allen Walker. It's nice to meet you Krory." Allen responded.

"I'm Lavi."

"Oh, hello." Allen said, getting free from Lavi's grasp.

Lenalee smiled. "I'm Lenalee Lee. It's a pleasure to meet you Allen. I'm sorry about what just happened. If you will, please follow me."

Allen nodded and followed Lenalee along with Krory and Lavi. Allen didn't say anything. He only watched the boys leave and Lenalee gave him a tour. Many people were already speaking about him and his eye, his hair, and his arm. It never changed. No matter where he went.

Allen eyed Lenalee and listened to what she said about the place. The training floor, the dining hall, the lounge, the sanitarium, and the dormitories. Then they came across a strange man dressed in white. "Hello there! I'm am Chief Komui Lee!"

Komui guided Allen down some stairs and Allen continued to look around, curious. "I'm sorry about earlier. What a pain." Komui said.

"DON'T LOOK AT US!" the scientists shouted.

Komui turned a light on and Allen was told to set his hand under it on a table. He did so and Lenalee stood beside Komui. "I understand your hand took some damage earlier. When the boys attacked you unprovoked. You shouldn't have to endure such pain. Lenalee, anesthesia please. For the boy." Komui said.

"Oh alright." Lenalee mumbled.

"Can you activate it? Your innocence?" Komui inquired.

"Oh, yes, of course." Allen replied. 'Innocence, activate.'

Komui admired Allen's arm and lightly hit it. "Hmmmmmm, a parasitic type."

"A parasitic type?"

"Yes, anyone who can turn any part of their body in to a weapon has a type. Yours is parasitic type. Don't worry. Being a parasitic type far weighs out the negatives." Komui told him.

"Oh."

Komui smirked and brought out a large drill. Allen paled again and felt like running away. "Awww, scared? Don't worry. Once I'm finished with you you'll be as good as new, but I must warn you, this will be traumatic." Komui hissed.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"That sounds pleasant." Lavi remarked.

"I hate that sound." Reever muttered, covering his ears.

"I feel for the poor kid." Tapp said.

"I remember when Komui did the same to me." Krory said.

Allen was sulking and a gloomy aura came off him as he went down into the depths of the order. Komui smiled and looked at him. 'Remind me to never break my arm again." Allen whispered.

"Don't get down on yourself. Like I said, being a parasitic type far weighs out the negatives." Komui told him, stopping the elevator.

Allen stood up and looked over the railing. A bright blue light came into play and he was suddenly picked up. He felt something probe his insides and tried to activate his innocence in a panic, but it wouldn't. Komui said something, but he couldn't hear him. When his arm finally activated pain coursed throughout his body and he stopped moving. "Don't activate your innocence when in that form." Hevlaska said, pressing her head against his as he calmed down. "8% . . . . 22%. . . . .34%. . . . 52% . . . . 76% . . . . 87%. . . . 87% is his final synchro rate of your innocence. Your journey will be a tough one and with this innocence you shall create the destroyer of time."

Allen was put down and Komui clapped. "I have no idea what that means, but it sounds wonderful! Hevlaska's prophecies are cryptic, but true."

Allen tried to punch Komui's face, but he held up a clipboard. "You mind putting that down so I can hit you?"

"Calm down. An involuntary examination is required." Komui said.

"And why didn't you tell me this sooner?" Allen asked.

"Because it's fun to watch everyone's reaction." Komui told him.

Allen sighed and folded his arms. "What's this about innocence?"

"I was just about to get there." Komui said and began explaining.

When Komui was done Allen stared at him, wondering why Cross never told him this. Komui held out his hand and Allen stared at it, a bit surprised. "It'l be terrific to work with you. Welcome to the Black Order. Just know the pay is awful" Komui informed.

Despite everything that had gone on so far, since he got here, he took Komui's hand, smiling. "It's good to be here."

Please review! Let me know what you all think. Now I know this chapter is a bit tacky, but I'm not used to doing this and I don't normally like to, but i wanted to get this in and out of the way. The first chapter is not always my best. Anyways, keep reading, it gets better. I promise. I hope you like it and I'll appreciate all comments. Please and thank you.

Sincerely,
