As the last battle was finally over, A new beginning has begun. Allen and the others fight more demons and to find the one who possesses the heart innocence. New enemies and new exorcists; and a girl from Allen's past that will change everything.
The story begins . . .
In a distant view, footsteps that were pounding the surface of the ground and the shadow that is beginning to form. A woman in black with a cross that is wrapped with bandages on her back; she was carrying it without any sign of getting tired. As she walked in the streets, people were glancing at her with awkwardness. When she finally reached the gate, looking at the forest that can be seen a little far away; she takes a turn and looks back.
"This is the place, is this really the place? Heart innocence–" she murmured to herself.
As the wind blew, a stingy feeling that was flowing went through the town, A girl with black hair and the ribbon that was tied on her hair at the back making the ribbon draw attention and her eyes that were different colored, as her right eye was color green and her left was color red. Wind passed through her and the sudden feeling of worry struck her. The time has come for her to be found.
A few days later, The girl's grandfather died, making her cry in misery. Suddenly, the room was filled with darkness and a figure appeared.
"Do you want to call your grandfather back to life?" The mysterious shadow asked.
"I'm sorry but I don't want to" The girl answered the shadow with eyes that were filled with seriousness and an urge to say yes.
"I know yo–" The shadow suddenly looked back but was captured by the woman with a cross and killed it.
"You sure are tough. I know you really wanted your grandfather to be alive again but I told you the consequence, did I?" The woman began to speak.
"Y-yes, I know that. I really wanted to see my grandfather alive again but to see him be a demon is more painful that letting him go to heaven" The girl answered with doubt, but the doubt was turned into tears.
"I see, then–" The woman suddenly re-wrapped her weapon.
----Innocence, ACTIVATE----
The cross became a huge gun. Demons appeared and fired at the window. The huge gun fired back and destroyed half the demons.
"Claire! run!" The woman directed the girl out of the room.
Claire ran down the stairs but saw demons. Suddenly, laser bullets appeared from no where and killed the demons. She ran out of the hotel and avoided danger but a demon suddenly appeared. A exorcist suddenly appeared and killed the demon.
"Are you alright?" Lenalee asked.
"Y-yes, I'm fine" Claire replied.
"Let's go to a safe place, come!" Lenalee held Claire's right hand and flew with her Dark boots.
"Lenalee, Is the girl alright?" Allen called out from where demons were flocking.
"Yes, were going to a safe place. I'll be right back." Lenalee responded.
"Lavi! Crowley! Are you guys there?" Allen signaled.
"I'm not gonna be defeated that easily Allen" Lavi replied.
"Me either, My fangs are not getting dull" Crowley said.
The woman walked out from the hotel and with the huge gun ready to fire.
"Exorcists, get out of the way!" The huge gun slowly began to fire and made a huge blow that killed all the demons that were in the town.
Finally, the battle was over. Claire buried her grandfather a simple burial and prayed. Light was sparkling and was surrounding Claire. She was like an angel that had no wings. The woman then approached her.
"Claire, its time" She said.
"Ah.. I know" Claire replied and stood up with the wind blowing gently and the light that was surrounding her.
"Whoah, she's pretty" Lavi said with awe.
"Lenalee-chan, Please take her to the order. When you arrive, I will call your older brother to take her in. Hmn, I know he can't reject this" She slightly grinned and walked in the shadows and disappeared. Lenalee and the others came back to the Order and introduced Claire to the supervisor. Suddenly, the main phone in the chief's desk rang and the voice came from the woman with a huge innocence.
"Hello? this is the black order" The supervisor suddenly began the talk.
"The girl that is infront of you is the HEART" She suddenly said.
The tension suddenly brewed around the chief; with his eyes fixed at Claire with a astounded face. He merely even breathed because of what he heard.
"Protect her, please" The phone hang up.
The chief did not move until Lenalee approached him.
"Brother? are you alright? what did she say?" Lenalee asked him.
"Everyone, please leave the room, but– don't leave cute Claire" The chief said.
The others left the room leaving the chief and Claire alone.
"So, you are the Heart Innocence, eh? Tsk, why on Earth did I doubt myself when I first saw your eyes– You really are a VALKYRIE from God" The chief said.
"Heart… Innocence? Valkyrie? what are you talking about sir?" Claire asked with a confused face.
"Heart Innocence, The very substance of Innocences. It means, you are the one that controls all exorcists. When you die and your Innocence is destroyed, Every Innocence in the will be destroyed too. But if you control your Innocence, you will have the power to destroy the Noah's Ark. The Ark that Earl Millennium created to destroy all the Innocences. Though, it will be hard–" The chief explained.
"I will do it" Claire suddenly answered.
"What? your going to control your Innocence? well then, I should give you your uniform" The chief grinned.
"But remember, controlling your Innocence is hard"
As Allen, Lenalee, Lavi, Crowley and Claire started their mission the next day, they came to a town. The town's people were all busy and fussing at everything. Allen and the others looked for a place to stay for the night and found a motel. Allen, Lavi and Crowley shared rooms and Lenalee and Claire shared another room. The whole afternoon, they searched for clues if there was any traces of phenomenon lately but they didn't found anything.
It was late at night when they finally gave up and thought to take a rest for tomorrow. When suddenly a familiar face appeared, It was a woman that looked like Eliade but her hair was black. Crowley noticed her and thought she was Eliade.
"Wait!" Crowley called out to the woman who looked like Eliade.
"Huh? Crowley-san?" Claire noticed him run through the crowd.
"Wait! wait! Eliade? is that yo-" Crowley grabbed the woman's hand and looked at her face and did not saw Eliade through her.
"Hey! let go! I'm not the person your looking for, so let go!" The woman forced herself free and ran away, leaving Crowley with a sad face and the feeling of wanting to see Eliade again.
"Crowley-san…" Claire saw the whole thing, as she grabbed Crowley's right hand and walked back to the others.
"Crowley-san, I know you miss her but, she's gone already. I know how you felt when she died but Crowley-san, You have a new family now. Its us Crowley-san, Me, Allen, Lenalee, Lavi, Kanda and the others too. So please don't be sad, We are here for you" Claire said as she grabbed Crowley's hand and walked back to the others, without looking at Crowley he cried because of what Claire said.
When Claire and Crowley were grouped back with the others, they went to a restaurant and ate their dinner. They went back to the motel and everybody slept soundly. Claire woke up and wore her uniform and jumped out from the room's window.
"I know that someone was watching… but who?" Claire thought and looked around and went left.
Suddenly, Lenalee woke up with a worried face because Claire was not sleeping in her bed. Lenalee hurriedly woke the others up to tell them that Claire was missing.
"Allen, Lavi, Crowley, Kanda, Claire is missing!" Lenalee said.
"Eh?! Claire-sama is missing? we must find her immediately!" Crowley said in a panic.
"Kuro-chan, you got close to Claire suddenly, your calling her -sama already, Is she your beloved princess now to protect?" Lavi kiddingly asked.
"Yes, she is my beloved princess. I will do anything for her. She's an angel Lavi" Crowley replied with a serious face that made Lavi feel uneasy.
"Did something happen when you two suddenly went gone yesterday?" Kanda asked with a keen eye that was looking at Crowley.
"That doesn't matter now! we must find Claire-sama already!" Crowley said as he went pass the others and out the motel.
"Crowley! w-wait!" Lenalee's voice was not heard by Crowley.
"Let's just follow him Lenalee. He's just worried of Claire, like us" Allen said.
"Ah… your right Allen-kun. Lets follow Crowley" Lenalee said.
As the group was currently finding Crowley and Claire a sudden explosion happened east from where Allen and the others were standing. The group ran to the explosion and saw Crowley was killing demons, under the boulders of rock was Claire who didn't know what to do but just hide.
"Claire! Crowley!" Lenalee called out to them.
"Lenalee, Protect Claire-sama!" Crowley shouted out and killed one demon.
"Lenalee, you take Claire to a safe place. Allen, Kanda and me will fight will fight with Crowley" Lavi ordered Lenalee.
Lenalee approached Claire with caution and took her to a safe place. Hiding in a safe place, Claire cried.
"Claire? Is something wrong?" Lenalee questioned her.
"Why, why can't I do anything? I just hide here and do nothing. I can't fight… I can't do anything! Lenalee…" Claire sobbed.
"We are here to protect you, because one day you will be the one that can save people from demons and you are the one that can banish every demon that exists in this world. Believe in yourself because Allen, Lavi,Kanda, me and especially Crowley believe in you. So please trust us." Lenalee said as she wept Claire's tears.
"Yes Lenalee, I will" Claire said, but with a frowning face that faces the truth that she can't fight.
As the fight was starting to heat up, Claire's heart beats faster as she tries to tell herself that she can't fight and can't protect Allen and the others.
Demons that fight, angels in flight, as the last sound of the bell rings the chosen one has risen. As the gates of heaven open from above, the face of people in awe, as for the demons that seek shelter to hide, For as the chosen one has arrived. Peace will bring forth for the consequence of sadness the maiden has onto her heart.
–[[ Innocence, ACTIVATE––
Time suddenly slowed down as the heavens open. The light that it gives, came straight to where Claire was standing at. In the center of the town with houses that collapsed and as the flares of fire dance with caution as the Valkyrie awakens. Claire began to transform, She began to grow wings that stretched out, as falling feathers looked like rain. Claire was now holding a staff with a pointed cross at the top. It was glowing and the cross at the top was gold. Her feet had miniature wings as she was standing at the center of a huge cross that on the ground.
[[ Her armor looks like Saber's armor in Fate Stay Night but much more "holy like" with wings and that
Allen and the others were astounded when they came to where Claire was. She was completely a VALKYRIE.
"This is…" Allen shuddered with awe.
"It can't be…" Lavi was in shock.
"Claire-sama is a…" Crowley said.
"Hmp" Kanda looked with interest.
"Valkyrie!?" Lenalee said with a shocked face while looking at Claire's wings.
"Everyone, stay back! I will finish of this in one blow" Claire said as she began to chant a prayer.
" Everyone! Let's protect Claire until she finishes the prayer" Allen ordered the others.
"Ah, we will. As Claire-sama is doing her best, I will do my best to protect her too" Crowley said.
"Let's Gooo!!!!" Lavi shouted out.
---- Innocence, Activate ----
" Hammer, grow! grOW! GROW! … Let's do it everyone!" As Lavi was really heated up on battling already, making the others heated up too.
As the fight was going on, Claire finally finished her prayer.
"Here goes!– Divine Sanctuary!" Claire pointed the golden cross to the north, A large blow of light destroyed all the demons in the place.
When the light was already gone Allen and the others ran back to Claire. Claire was lying on the floor.
"Claire!" Lenalee tried to wake her up.
"I think she was exhausted because of what she did" Allen commented.
"Valkyries,eh? Hmp, I didn't know they were really true" Lavi murmured.
"Why is it Lavi? is there something wrong for Claire-sama to be a Valkyrie?" Crowley questioned.
"They are followers of God that sacrifice their lives to protect one of the secrets of how humans existed. A Valkyrie is a special being that only lives and can be born as a human in every five thousand centuries, I can't believe that its been five centuries when the last Valkyrie existed. Well, because she's a Valkyrie she is the one who carries the Heart Innocence" Lavi explained to the others while looking intently at Claire.
"HEART INNOCENCE!? Claire-sama is.." Crowley said in shock.
"Yeah, and its better if we questioned the Order when we get back" Lavi said.
When they came back to the Order, Allen and the others questioned the chief if Claire is really the one who has the Heart Innocence.
"Yes, She is the chosen one" The chief answered while drinking coffee from her pink bunny mug.
"Then why did you not tell us from the start? Brother!" Lenalee demanded.
"Do you remember the time when the woman from the main Black Order headquarters called?" The chief hinted.
"Yeah, it was when we brought Claire here to the Order" Allen answered.
"Do you know where the main Black Order headquarters are? Allen-kun" The chief asked with sureness that Allen really can't answer his question.
"N-no… I don't know" Allen replied.
"The main headquarters is found in the pits of Hell. They are the ones that know and can foretell the events that will happen. They are demons that believe in God. It was my first time to talk to one of them when Claire came and I know that it was really very important for them to really call the Black Order. Now that you know this, what will you do?" The chief said as he finished drinking his coffee.
"Tell me the truth, If Valkyries over use their powers, will they die?" Lavi asked.
"That is true, Valkyries are specifically are women that has the power that balances to God's own power. A normal Valkyrie can only cast five prayers and they suddenly collapse and die. But a strong Valkyrie can cast more spells but it will tore their brains and die because of too much stress. As for Claire… She's weak, If she casts another prayer, she will surely die" The chief shockingly announced.
"No! it can't be! Claire can't die like that–" Lenalee complained.
"Claire-sama, will… die…" Crowley began to shed tears.
The next day, It was a peaceful day but everyone was tensioned. They can't believe that Claire was going to die that easily. Claire woke up with a smile on her face. But when she went out from her room, she felt that everybody was looking sad and were frowning when they were greeted good morning by Claire. Claire found Allen at the porch looking at the sky.
"Hello, Allen what are you doing?" Claire asked.
"Ah, um, I was looking at the sky. It's very blue today" Allen answered.
"It makes you calm and cheers you up" Claire said.
"Then you (Allen: I) say ::Both::' I can do it" Claire and Allen shouted out loud and began to laugh.
"Why do you know that? Did I told you that?" Allen questioned.
"You always say that when you were short. Short like a dwarf" Claire replied.
"You remind me of someone, I just can't remember. Its pitch black in my memory" Allen said as he looked at Claire.
Claire untied her red ribbon and held Allen's right hand and gave it to him.
"This will make you remember, Allen" Claire said with a smile that looked familiar from Allen's memory.
The next day Allen, Lenalee, Lavi and Claire went to look at a phenomenon at a nearby city. When they arrived at the city demons were attacking. Allen and Lenalee ran to where the other demons were while Lavi and Claire were left to fight the demons that were trying to escape.
–– Innocence, ACTIVATE ––
"Lavi, I will cast a prayer" Claire said.
"No! you must not! or else you'll–" Lavi tried to tell her the truth but his heart didn't want her to know.
"Why Lavi? why can't I cast?" Claire questioned.
"You.. you.." Lavi was speechless.
"I will cast a prayer or else I will not be able to protect the ones that are precious to me. Including you Lavi" Claire said as she summoned her wings and flew to the center of the city.
"W-wait! Claire!" Lavi shouted but his voice was not heard by Claire.
As the battle continued, Claire began to cast a huge cross. Allen and Lenalee ran quickly to where she was but didn't made it on time. Claire was finished with the prayer and a blast of light destroyed the demons and like a Yggdrasil everything was revived at that city, Even the people that were killed by the demons were resurrected. When Allen and Lenalee came to where Claire casted the huge cross, she was not there. The thing that was left is the emblem of the Black Order.
I know that I can't be happy. But I can make everyone happy If I help them destroy the Noah's Ark.
I thought that I was weak, but now that I know who I really am. I will protect the people
That I love. Allen, I hope you will remember me soon. I love you... but I know that Lenalee
will love you more than me.
Goodbye!
"Claire… It.. it can't be!" Allen knelt and took the emblem and bore a fist.
"Damn it! Why, why should this happen? I.. I didn't protected her at my might. Why!! why is the Lord this merciless?!" Allen punched the ground and began to shed tears.
Lavi was depressed as to Lenalee was not moving in shock.
Allen suddenly remembered, The memory was not pitch black. Everything was with color in his memory, The memory of Claire.
It was when Mana was still alive and Allen walking at his back. They came to a town, Mana looked for a place to stay while Allen was sitting at the bench beside the fountain. A group of bullies noticed Allen and began to tease him.
"Oi, kid with white hair, why are you here? go to the house with that freaky eyed girl and don't show yourself here!" The bully taunted Allen.
"But I'm waiting for Mana here" Allen replied.
"Mana? who's that? your father? Your father is insane to keep you!" The bully teased Allen again.
"No! Thats wrong! My father is–" Allen shouted when a girl with weird eyes came.
"You bullies! Stop teasing him!" The girl protected Allen.
Suddenly, One of the bullies that was holding a wood slammed it at the head of the girl. The girl's left forehead began to bleed. The bullies got scared and ran away, leaving the wood in the ground. Allen was astounded of what the girl did but was worried because her forehead was bleeding terribly.
"Are you alright?" The girl asked.
"No, I'm the one who must sa if your alright" Allen said.
"Are you alright? your forehead is bleeding" Allen looked at the wound.
"Its alright, its just a scratch" The girl smiled.
The girl told Allen and Mana to stay at their house. At the girl's house was just her auntie. Mana and Allen were grateful that they found a house to stay for the night. Allen asked the girl's name and the girl introduced herself as Claire. She had different looking eyes, her right eye was color green and her left was color red. But even though she was different, She was happy.
Allen and Claire played everyday until it was Claire's birthday. Allen gave her a red silk ribbon, it matched her black colored hair. Days passed until the day Mana was murdered. In the grave of Mana Walker, Allen was crying but Claire can't do anything for him. Claire took out a red think ribbon and gave it to Allen.
"Please, take this Allen. If we meet again I will know its you because of that ribbon. Promise me you'll never forget about me" Claire hugged Allen.
When Allen realized that Claire was his childhod friend, He cried even more when Lenalee approached him and patted his back. Rain began to fall as to the truth that Claire is already dead.
Is
Claire really dead already? or is she alive?
