BEFORE I WILL FORGET, THERE WILL BE CHARACTER DEATHS LATER ON IN THE STORY...
But did I really mean it..?
Gasp! It's a mystery! xD
Whatever, what is for sure is that there will be characters on the ground and is taking forever to wake up and is believed to be dead.
Have a nice day! ^-^

I AM SOOOOOOO SOOOOORRRRRRYYYYY FOR THE LATE UPDATE! (at least late in my opinion) I HAVE A HUGE WRITERS BLOCK IN THIS STORY AND I'M TRYING TO GET RID OF IT BY FORCING MYSELF TO WRITE LITTLE BY LITTLE AT A TIME... IT'S WORKING A BIT... BUT IT'S ALSO TAKING SOOOO LONG FOR ME TO POST THIS CHAPTER!

On another note...

This. Is. AWESOME!
I can't believe it! It's a RECORD for me. 3 reviews on 1 story! Yay! xD
I honestly got no idea what interests you guys so much in the story. It's in my opinion boring :/
Hopefully you guys won't get disappointed or anything similar to what is going to happen... But I'm trying my best to make is as interesting as possible. I'm really bad with ideas, so I hope you still cling onto the story even if it's kinda boring! Pwease!
It's my first attempt to write a mission... actually, forget that, this is my first attempt at writing a fanfiction on D. Gray-Man! The first thing I wrote about D. Gray-Man (Wait, I already mentioned this. Ah well.) was with a crossover, but it was focusing more on the other story's characters rather than D. Gray-Man's.
I bet whatever fanfiction I write, the characters shall always be OOC. :( I'm trying my best to make them, uh, less OOC!
BTW, There is absolutely NO SWEARING or anything that really suits the rated T content. I think I'm just being paranoid. The only reason it's rated T is because of blood and these 'so-called' character deaths.
Oh yeah, and also, this is in the timeline when Allen has gained his Crowned Clown innocence (including his sword of exorcism) but isn't watched by Howard Link (Is that his name?) yet. I'm still thinking about the fact about Allen knowing he's the 14th will be included in this story. I'll tell you guys in the author's note if I think he should or should not.
Enjoy Chapter 1!

Chapter 1:
Mission

A couple of days has passed since the discovery with the DNA identifier. The science division was forced to return the DNA identifier to the science division in Asia. Moving across the order since he had nothing to do during his short break, Johnny saw Reever leaning against a wall while drinking some coffee. Boredom ruling over Johnny, he decided to start a small conversation with him about how the research was going. As he made his way towards the section chief leader, he suddenly bumped towards Komui. As Johnny apologized to Komui, Komui noticed Johnny dropped something from his pocket and began to open the folded papers. Realizing what is was, Johnny tried to stop Komui from reading them but it was too late. Komui began to compare the DNA scans in amazement, as he looked at Johnny.

"Is this really true?" Komui asked, unable to hold his surprised expression, "About those two..." The only thing Johnny could do was nod. After a moment, Johnny saw the all so familiar evil glint in Komui's eyes. "Well, if this is really true, then we must do something, should we?" asked Komui, with slightly evil undertones.

"Um... what do you mean by WE?" asked Johnny, slowly backing away.

"Oh, nothing much. You'll see, you'll see." said Komui, apparently heading to his office while still having the papers he took from Johnny in his hands.

In the cafeteria, a certain white haired exorcist was shoving food down his throat. As he was eating, Lavi sat besides him.

"Hey Allen!" greeted Lavi as he began to eat his food. Allen then swallowed the portion of food he was eating.

"Hi Lavi." answered Allen as he began to shove yet another plateful of food into his mouth.

"Komui said after lunch we have to head to his office. Another mission, I suppose." said Lavi. There was silence after that. It was just a normal mission, so why the pain inside their stomachs? Can't be because of the food they're eating. It was dreaded feeling. Why the dread? It's just a normal mission, right?

Right?

After lunch, the two headed towards Komui's office. Komui explained the mission. Simple enough. They just need to recover innocence. There has been akumas sent after the innocence, but reports say it's a swarm of akuma. Luckily they haven't spotted any akuma over level 1, making their jobs much easier.

"Hey... have you noticed it too?" asked Lavi after entering a train and sitting on their seats. Allen looked at Lavi curiously.

"The evilness in Komui's eyes and his crazy smirk? I thought that happens all the time." said Allen.

"You're missing the point. Normally Komui wouldn't act like that when innocence is involved. He would be more serious. And certain members of the science division..." started Lavi.

"Reever and Johnny has been looking at us weirdly for the past few days." commented Allen, deep in thought.

"Yumi has too, but she's crazy, so it isn't hard to believe." commented Lavi. Allen chuckled. Deep silence then filled the room.

"Lavi... do you feel... that something bad's going to happen?" asked Allen.

"You too?" asked Lavi, eyes widening. Well, more like eye widening since the other is covered by his eyepatch. Allen nodded. Deafening silence (..? Should of not listen to that song...) filled the room once more. The air around them was tense and the two began to shake a little. What will happen? What could possibly be so bad?

Meanwhile, back to Komui's office...

Yumi ran in a hurry all over across the order. Her spare time is limited and rare, so she better use it wisely. As the destination of her choice came in view, Yumi barged into the office. Looking around furiously, she spotted her prey who was on his desk drinking his last bits of coffee.

"Komui... why did you send those two to a mission so early? I heard they just came back for an exhausting mission. I know they've quickly recovered, but there are many other available exorcists that have much more energy than they do." commented Yumi innocently, acting as if she hasn't ran all the way from the other side of the Order to reach his office.

"Ah, yes, Yumi. Well, you see, Johnny-" started Komui. But before he can explain further, he was interrupted by Yumi. Her eyes widened in realization at Johnny's name. What other events could have happened when Johnny was around? I mean, putting the pieces together, it's simple to figure out Komui's intentions.

"OOOOHH! Cool. But shouldn't you be giving them a rest and send them on some other mission later? I have a bad feeling about this mission." stated Yumi as she shivered.

"Hm, so that means she probably knows to. Yumi probably eavesdropped." thought Komui.

"Don't worry Yumi. They'll be fine. They've been through tougher... times." at that remark, Yumi rolled her eyes, "...It's not like this is a tough mission anyway." said Komui.

"Not a tough mission? How can you tell? It's not like YOU'RE an exorcist." muttered Yumi to herself. She then yawned as she remembered the real reason why she's here. "By the way, Komui, the science division has done an amazing breakthrough and needs you to sign papers..." Yumi glanced at the pile Komui didn't sign, which was filling his desk. "So since Reever was busy and I have some spare time, I'm just here to warn you." warned Yumi. Yumi heard moaning and giggled. Komui probably fell asleep and is having some nightmare about all of the papers he has to sign. As Yumi was about to take her leave, an old paper caught her eye. Bending down to see the contents of the paper. She froze in shock. Snatching the paper to examine it and read it carefully, her eyes widened in fear. She stole a glance at Komui, who's just like she thought; fast asleep. No use to wake him up now. Stuffing the paper in her lab pocket, she looked around for a clock. Spotting the object she was looking for, Yumi moaned. Her spare time is up and she has to return to the science room immediately or else she has to do a doubled amount of work. Sighing again, Yumi ran towards the science room. (A/N: YES I have watched/read D. Gray-man. But I wasn't paying attention to things like these and is too lazy to research it. (I get lazy often.))

When Allen and Lavi reached the place they were sent to, they were amazed that a village this huge could have such a low population. After deciding to split up, Allen and Lavi agreed to meet each other at a local restaurant called Sunshine Realm at lunch time. Nodding, they went their separate ways.

Allen wanted to bang his head onto the wall. Great! He's lost! He should of known with his tendency of getting lost... Sighing, he passed by a clock store and saw what time it is. 1:30 PM already? He's a whole hour and twenty minutes late! Panicking, he ran until he found the nearest person he could find to ask for directions. Luckily, he spotted three kids chatting. One of them was simply upset about something, another person was shrugging, and the last was complaining endlessly to the person who's shrugging.

As Allen ran away, a wandering man passed by the clock store and saw the time. He compared the time of the clock on the outside of the store and the one on his watch. Casually, he entered the store.

"Um, excuse me sir, are you the owner of this clock store?" asked the man.

"Yes? What do you need?" asked the owner.

"I would like to buy the clock you have set up front, but I realized that it's a whole three hours earlier than the real time. Would you tell me how to change it?" asked the man.

"Sure, right this way, sir." said the owner as he guided the man outside the store.

Lavi muffled a yawn as he took a look around his surroundings. So far, there was no info.

"Hey, have you heard? There has been many monsters lately. I wonder what are their intentions. Rumors say, every body who the monster sees dies and turns into dust. What do you think, Rika?" asked a girl with short blonde hair to her friend. The girl has ocean blue eyes, light blue shirt, and dark blue skirt.

"I dunno, Clara. I heard there were many of them and... Jake got attacked by them." said Rika sadly. Rika has long pure black hair, forest green eyes, light green shirt, dark green vest, mint green scarf, leaf green goggles, and green shorts. Clara smirked.

"Really? That's awesome! Is he dead?" asked Clara. Rika shook her head. But before Rika can say a word, Lavi interrupted them.

"Excuse me, but do you know where are they coming from?" asked Lavi. Lavi was gripping onto his hammer, ready to destroy them if they're akumas. But at the same time he needed info so this mission can be over and that he can relax back at the Order. The last mission was exhausting, so why was Komui crazy enough to send the two of them AGAIN to another mission? The two girls stared at him, kind of wondering if they should speak to a stranger or not. Making her mind, Rika took courage and spoke.

"I think some kids at school say they started to come at the Northern side of the village. A bit further away from the village are mountains. It's not that far from the village so lots kids love playing there. But recently, after the death of one of the kids in our school, everybody who has been there has disappeared. One day they say to their parents they want to go to the mountains, but at the next they've disappeared! Nobody even dares to enter the mountains now. Then suddenly, the so-called monster has caused buildings to collapse. A few survivors remained, but the survivors are acting weird after a few days." explained Rika.

"After the death of a kid and everyone disappears, huh? Plus, the survivors of the collapsing building are acting weird? Well then, can you direct me to the mountains?" asked Lavi. The story this girl is saying is definitely sounding like an akuma attack.

"Are you crazy? Everybody who has been to the mountain never came back alive! Do you want to die?" asked Clara. Lavi smiled softly.

"Don't worry about me, I'll be fine." assured Lavi.

"No way! I won't let anybody die!" exclaimed Rika.

"Here." said a boy-like voice. Lavi turned and saw a boy with amber-colored hair, fiery red eyes, red long-sleeved shirt and jeans pointing towards mountains that are pretty near the edge of the village.

"Jake!" shouted Rika and Clara at the same time, surprised of the appearance of Rika's friend. (Not THEIR friend because Clara hates Jake.)

"Head north of the village and you'll see a sign that says you're leaving the village. Behind that sign is a river. Follow the river and once you see a sign that is covered in childish drawings and writings. When you see that sign you'll know you're there." explained Jake. Rika kicked Jake on his leg.

"What are you doing you dummy! You just led that stranger's life towards doom!" yelled Rika. Jake shrugged.

"Hey, if that guy wants doom, his wish has been granted." explained simply Jake.

"Ugh! I can't believe you! We better stop him before-" Rika turned around and saw that he's gone, "Fudge... he's gone."

"Great! You lead someone towards doom! You should be ashamed of yourself!" shouted Clara.

"Why should I? I should be happy because I grant someone's wish but I can't because of a certain annoying girl." stated Jake, glaring at Clara.

"Oh, and it's my fault, huh? Well I wouldn't be complaining if it weren't for the fact you, oh I don't know, LED SOMEONE TOWARDS THEIR DEATH!" yelled Clara. Jake shrugged as he countered Clara's statement. And the complaining has continued for what seemed like an eternity, as always. Rika sighed, clearly upset at her friends' attitudes.

Suddenly, a kid who's pretty short, has white hair, and has some red scar on his left eye approach them in panic.
"Um... Sorry to interrupt you in your conversation, however I'm a bit lost and I'm kind of wondering if you know where the restaurant called Sunshine Realm is." said Allen.
"Sunshine Realm? Of course we know where that is. Sunshine Realm is like the most popular restaurant in the village!" exclaimed Clara.
"We could guide you there if you would like. Don't worry, it won't trouble us. We have nothing to do anyway." stated Rika as she walked in front of the group. The rest followed.

Soon, they reached the restaurant. Allen felt embarrassed since it's right in front of the clock shop. The shop's owner and some man were in front of the clock, so he couldn't tell what time it is. The man the shop owner is with was wearing a long, gray coat, a fedora hat, white gloves, and sunglasses. Because of his clothes, Allen couldn't see the man's hair color, eye color, nor skin color. Entering the shop, he looked for Lavi. Not seeing him, he bit his lower lip. Could he have gone somewhere and ditched him?

"Are you looking for someone?" asked Rika.

"Um, yes, actually. Have you seen someone who has red hair, wears an eyepatch, green eye, and is wearing something that has the same symbol as this?" asked Allen, pointing at the Black Order's symbol. The three exchanged glances.

"Does he have a black hammer?" asked Jake. Allen nodded.

"Well then, your friend is probably searching for his doom so it's best to not follow him." commented Clara.

"Why? Did you guys saw which direction he was going?" asked Allen. The three of them nodded, and Rika began to explain what has happened, and the history behind the disappearance and strange behaviors of people.

"But you wouldn't want to go there... would you? I mean, nobody came back! And because of a certain boy..." Clara glared at Jake who shrugged once more, "Your friend may not come back alive." explained Clara. Allen knew what were Lavi's intentions; this all may be cause because of an akuma.

"Tell me where it is." commanded Allen. Jake was about to speak until Rika and Clara shouted to be quiet.

"Why do you need to go there?" asked Rika.

"It's important." was all that Allen said. The three exchanged glances again and began to complain to each other so quickly Allen could only catch a few words of the conversation. Finally, they turned towards Allen.

"We'll guide you there. We can't let two deaths to happen because of us. Well, I believe Jake can handle it..." Rika glared at Jake who was tired of shrugging so he just rolled his eyes, "Anyhow. Ready to die? In other words, are you ready to go?" asked Rika.

"Yup. Thanks for everything." said Allen.

"No problem- wait, I mean big problem. We're going to die. Ah well, life was fun until it lasted." said Jake, shrugging for what seemed like the zetta time as the four of them left the restaurant.

As they left the restaurant, Allen saw the clock's shop owner exclaim:

"There! as good as new! And that's how you fix the clock. I got some extra ones in the storage, so if you don't mind I'll get them." said the shop owner as he and the man left. Allen felt really embarrassed now that he realized that the clock has been changed to three hours earlier, meaning it's just 9:50 AM now. Trying to forget how embarrassed he is, he thought about Lavi and the place they're heading at. He's got a feeling there's going to be a swarm of akuma there, and the kids might be in danger...

Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to ask them...

Hm! I think I should stop it here. Yay! It's one of the longest chapters I've ever written! The longer the chapters are, the better! ^-^
I honestly tried to not make any OCs, but I couldn't resist! But don't worry, the storyline will focus mainly about Allen and Lavi.
The reason I couldn't resist is because I made the three OCs based off me and my two friends. xD
Oh and BTW, I don't read that much books. Okay, so I read fanfiction, but I usually skip a lot of parts. I'm more of an action sort of person, so I don't pay attention to how someone describes something. I go right ahead to the dialogue. So sorry for adding so much dialogue here, it's just that I don't like describing something :P

I hope you enjoy and please rate and review! Positive comments are awesome, but spotting faults in my writing and reporting them to me makes my stories better! Yay for it getting better!

Oh yeah! And I'm sorry but there's no preview of the next chapter today :(
It was a busy week and I'm not in the mood of saying the preview :P
