A/N: Again I apologise if the DGM characters seem OOC. I do try to make them as normal as possible.

Chapter 3
It hadn't been long since Tyki and I had put our plan into motion to capture Rhode. She was resistant at first, but when we brought her back to our Ark and removed the evil that the Earl had implanted into her mind, she was happy here. She was glad that Tyki was with her. And the fact that she always got to see her Allen everyday pleased her to no end. I created her room and gave her dolls, toys and candy of unlimited supply. I also gave her a black panther to play with, tamed of course. I didn't want my newest member of my family to get hurt.
"Hey Rhode, how are you?" I asked her with a smile.
"Oh, hey Zara, I'm good thanks. Again thank you for getting me out of the Earls clutches. I feel so free and happy now. I just love it here. Especially being with Allen." She replied with a grin
"That's good. Speaking of Allen, have you seen him anywhere recently, Rhode?" I asked
"Uhmm, yeah I think he is in either the training room or the cafeteria." She replied
"Ok, thanks Rhode." I said walking away.
XXXX
The Cafeteria
I stood at the door scanning the room for Allen. Unfortunately I couldn't see him anywhere; I went to turn around and bumped into someone behind me and ended up falling on my butt. 'How embarrassing.' I thought. I looked up at the person, who was smirking. You wouldn't believe who I had just bumped into. Cross.
"What the bloody hell are you doing, bastard!" I asked getting up and brushing my butt off.
"Well, I was about to get lunch. Care to join me?" he said in amusement
"NO! I would not care to join you, you perverted bastard!" I almost yelled attracting the attention of those nearest the door.
"Fine then, I'll be going." He said smirking more, walking into the cafeteria.
"Tch, pervert." I mumbled as I walked off
I headed for the training room to see if Allen was there. I sure hoped that he was, and I didn't really want to bump into anybody else that I didn't want to see today.
XXXX
The Training Room
Yup, I was now at the training room. Lenalee was there meditating and it looks like Kanda had just finished training and was about to start meditating too. I wondered where everyone else was. I stood at the door not wanting to interrupt but I knew that Kanda knew I was there.
"Hey Kanda, have you seen Allen?" I asked
"Che, why are you looking for that Moyashi?" he asked, irritated
"I have my reasons. And I don't have to tell you." I retorted
"Well, fine by me, I didn't want to know anyway." He replied
"I think Allen was heading to the Library to find Lavi. I hope that helps you Zara." Lenalee said
"Yeah thanks Lenalee. Kanda you are no help at all." I said
"That's because I don't like to help people." He said coldly
"Jeez, that was hurtful Kanda." I said sadly
"And I care because….?" He replied coldly
"Oh, I didn't say you did. Now if you'll excuse me, I have work to do." I said coolly
As I walked off I heard Lenalee scolding Kanda."Kanda, you could have been a little bit nicer to her. She didn't deserve that, especially after all she has done for us!" she had said
'If I can't find Allen in the Library with Lavi then I shall go to see Tammy and see if she knows where he went.' I thought to myself.
I hated having to hunt people down; it pissed me off to no end. I do have other things to do other than chasing people. If I didn't find him soon then I was definitely going to scream. At least that would get their attention.
XXXX
The Library
Ok now I was in the doorway of the Library. I scanned the room and found Bookman and Lavi, however much to my annoyance Allen wasn't with them either. I looked around but Tyki wasn't there either. Now I was seriously pissed off. One more trip. If Tammy hadn't seen Allen then I would definitely scream so loudly that everyone would come running.
'Where is Tyki?' I wondered
I shrugged my shoulders, that didn't matter much at the moment. What mattered was Allen's current whereabouts, time to see Tammy.
XXXX
Tammy's Lab
I opened the door to Tammy's lab and found both Tammy and Hevlaska monitoring the Innocence as usual. I wondered if she ever took a break. It was then that I noticed Allen and Miranda sitting there with them. I walked in and then noticed that Hevlaska had turned to look at someone. I turned and saw that there were two girls sitting there with them. I assumed that they were the new twins Solange and Silver.
"Oh, hello girls, I am Zara. Which one of you is Solange and which is Silver?" I asked
"I am Silver." Said the girl with topaz, almost gold coloured eyes
"And I am Solange." Said the girl with mercury eyes
"It is a pleasure to meet you, Zara." They said in unison
"Ha-ha, ditto." I replied with a smile, then turning my attention to Allen I said, "Allen, would you come with me to my office please, I would like to talk to you. I have been looking for you everywhere all morning; gosh it was so bloody annoying. I didn't know that you could be as elusive as General Cross."
"Oh, I'm sorry about that Zara."
Suddenly Allen's expression darkened while Tammy looked annoyed and the new twins had a surprised look on their faces. I frowned and was about to ask them what was wrong when I felt a hand on my shoulder first then it moved to my waist. I knew then that it was none other than General Cross himself since he was the one that liked to feel women up, me in particular at the moment.
"What the bloody hell do you want Cross?" I said in a deadly calm voice as I turned around.
"Would you mind introducing me to these two new lovely ladies, Zara?" he asked with a sly look towards me and a 'Women! Jackpot!' look towards Silver and Solange.
"These two women happen to be new to my family. Meet Silver and Solange. Silver is the one with the topaz eyes and Solange is the one with the tattoos and mercury eyes. You will not lay a hand on them, Cross." I practically growled
"So you are the notorious bastard Cross that we have heard so much about." Silver said with a sneer, claws popping out of her fingers instead of normal fingernails. Solange on the other hand had her tattoos on her arms glowing.
"Ouch, ladies, ladies please keep calm. I am not evil you know. I just like women and wine. I happen to think that they are the best things in the world. Can you not understand that?" he said in his seductive tone.
"Cross, get the hell out of my lab!" Tammy said in a deadly voice, sword appearing in her hand.
It was then that I heard a new sound, it was also male but it didn't come from Cross or Allen. I looked behind Cross and saw Kanda standing there, the tip of Mugen pointed at Cross's back. He threw a quick glance in my direction, while I wondered why he was there. It seemed people these days liked to pop up everywhere without warning.
"I suggest that you remove yourself from the presence of these women, Cross. Before I run you through with Mugen." He said deadly calm
"And kindly remove your hand from my waist Cross, before I chop your hands off." I growled a dagger in my hand, pressed against his wrist.
Suddenly Allen stood and activated Crown Clown. It was then that I smirked at everyone and activated my own power, dagger transforming into a smaller version of my blue flaming sword. Silver activated her innocence turning her whole arms into black paws with deadly claws. Solange activated hers turning her forearms and hands into swords. Kanda activated Mugen and started to press it harder against Cross's back.
"You people all seem on edge. I think I will go and have a drink, if any one of you lovely ladies would care to join me then you are quite welcome." He said with a sly grin then disappeared out of the door.
When he had left we all relaxed with relief. I didn't go and hug Tammy like I was going to, instead I walked over to Kanda and wrapped my arms around him. He looked at me in annoyance and then looked away and scowled at Allen and Miranda. I turned to look at Allen and Miranda who were suppressing the urge to burst out laughing. I grinned at them and then grinned at everyone else and finally, Kanda.
"You better not say anything to anyone Moyashi, or you Miranda." He growled still scowling
"Don't worry Kanda; he won't unless he doesn't want me to rid him of the fourteenth. And we can trust Miranda." I said with a smirk
"Ah, y-you can d-do t-that?" Allen stuttered in surprise
"Sure I can. That's what I wanted to talk to you about earlier." I said my grin widening
"O-oh, c-can w-we uh I mean, w-will y-you g-get rid o-of him? I-I want m-my o-own body, and if I d-don't get r-rid of h-him t-then he w-will most l-likely t-take o-over m-my b-body." Allen said, still stuttering
I let go of Kanda and beckoned Allen to follow me. I smiled at all the others.
"Lets' go then Allen. Kanda I'll see you later, same to you Miranda, Solange, Silver and Tammy. Oh and Tammy, if you see Tyki and Rhode then let him know to be in the cafeteria at 7pm for dinner." I said with a smile.
I started heading toward my office with Allen following behind. When we got there I saw a huge box on my desk. There was a tag on it too. I gestured for Allen to take a seat. I then promptly tried to remove the ginormous box off of my desk and on to the floor, only to find that I struggled quite a bit. I reached out and touched Allen's Innocence arm before he could say or do anything. Quickly I changed my left arm to replicate his. I activated the Innocence and using Crown Belt I lifted the box off the desk and onto the floor next to my desk. I deactivated the Innocence and sat down, deciding that I would deal with the box later. I turned to look at Allen and almost started laughing due to the expression on his face.
"Ha-ha, you didn't know I could do that did you Allen?" I asked with a huge grin.
He shook his head. I grabbed a pen and paper and led Allen into the lab that joined my office.
"Ok, sit over there." I said completely calm now and pointing to the bed.
"Okay." He replied.
I walked over to the incubator tank which had a body like Allen's in it. The only difference was that the body inside it was made especially for Neah, the fourteenth; this body had black hair and bright blue eyes. And it looked older and taller than Allen too; this body was made to look like an 18 or 19 year old. All I had to do was extract the Noah's memories from Allen's mind and place them into the new body. It already had everything that it needed. The mind was new. I had finished creating it a few months ago. The body had taken almost a whole year to create. It was a completely new body, no scars or anything. It was like the Second Exorcist experiment that the Black Order did with Kanda but nowhere near as harmful or long. This process would take no longer than thirty minutes. I was almost finished assessing the body. Now I had to assess Allen. I would take a couple of samples of blood and then put him under. But first I needed to remove the body from the tank. It would take a little bit. I had made sure that the body was not compatible with Innocence and could only use Dark Matter. Slowly I removed the body from the tank and laid it on the bed next to Allen. I hooked them both up to IV's and put Allen under anaesthetic before drawing a couple of samples of blood. These would do for later plans or emergencies that might arise. I placed myself next to both beds and went into a trance and wandered through Allen's mind trying to find the memories that I was searching for. Once I had found them I pulled them with me back out and then delved into the new bodies mind and gently placed them there. I then removed myself from the mind of Neah. I summoned clothes for Neah and food for the both of them before gently waking them. I was sure that Neah would be pleased to have his own body and mind. Allen would be glad to have his body and mind to himself as well.
Allen was the first to wake. And as I had guessed he was starved, but that was normal for Allen considering what his Innocence type was. Neah didn't wake until half an hour later. I had kept Allen in to keep an eye on his vitals, that and I was sure that he wanted to be there when his Uncle Neah awoke. When Neah finally woke I fed him and let Allen help him change before I allowed any questions to be asked.
"Ugh, what happened? Where am I?" Neah asked groggily
"I have created you your own body, Neah, so you and Allen wouldn't have to share one. That and I couldn't risk losing Allen. He is a good exorcist. It may take up to a couple of days or only a few hours for you to get used to your new body. And as for where you are, well, you are in my lab in my own Ark." I replied
"Oh ok. Who are you?" he asked again
"I am Zara Mikk, older twin to Tammy Mikk and younger sister to Tyki Mikk." I responded with a smile
"Oh. Oh the Mikk Twins! Yes, now I remember. I have met you once, when you were little. Back when I had my own body. The next thing I know you two had disappeared. The Mikk siblings are the Immortals, the Pure Ones, if I am not mistaken. And Allen, my nephew I apologise for any pain that I caused you. Thank you Zara for freeing us both, it is much appreciated." Neah said returning my smile.
"Allen, how do you feel?" I asked turning my attention to him
"Oh, I feel so much better now. Thank you for what you did Zara. I didn't think that it would be possible. No offence Uncle Neah." Allen replied with a grin
"None taken, Allen." Neah replied with a chuckle
"Now, I think that we should introduce you to the rest of the people here Neah. I hope nobody tries to attack you or anything as that has happened quite a bit recently. Oh and you should be pleased to know that Tyki and Rhode are in residence as well, Neah." I said with a smile.
"Rhode and Tyki are here? Oh wonderful. It has been so long since I have seen my precious Rhode." He said a smile playing across his lips
"Lets' go then." I said leading them out of the lab and into my office. When we stepped into my office I found that darned huge box on top of my desk. I continue to walk out the office door with Allen and Neah following, completely ignoring the stupid box. Suddenly something rattles and I turn to look at the box and see that it is shaking. 'Oh no, please not now.' I thought.
I walked over to the box and looked at the label. Figures that it would be that surprise from Komui. I would have to deal with him later. I carefully opened the box. There was a lot of foam in it and right in the middle of the heavy big box was a small umbrella with a sort of head on it. I didn't know what it was, but I lifted the umbrella out of the box. I wondered why the box was so heavy earlier if all it was carrying was a silly umbrella. I put the umbrella down and tried to lift the box. Again I couldn't so I went through all the foam, messing up my tidy office to find a huge flat metallic circle at the bottom. I tried to pick it up but I couldn't because it was so damn heavy. I murmured activate to the circle and it started to hover until it was out of the box. Suddenly all the foam went into the box and the box disappeared. The circle lowered itself until it was low enough for me to step onto it. I told it to deactivate and it sat down on the floor. I picked up the umbrella and decided to call it Lila. I held the top of it to my face and discovered the head was a cute panda bear. The umbrella itself was a pale blue-ish white colour. It was very pretty. I pushed a bit of my power into it to bring it to life. I then proceeded to leave my office, with Allen and Neah following me. This time we actually managed to leave my office without any mishaps. First off we went to the library, and who did we find? It was none other than a sleeping Lavi and an annoyed Bookman. Tyki was off in the far corner reading. We approached Lavi and Bookman, the former just happened to wake as we approached.
"Hey Lavi, enjoyed your nap?" I asked with a chuckle, Allen was grinning and Neah had his eyebrow raised. Lavi chuckled sheepishly while rubbing the back of his head and received a kick and a scowl from Bookman.
"Ouch, that hurt Panda-jiji! Uh yeah thanks. Hey who's the new guy? He looks sort of familiar." Lavi said gesturing to Neah and earning himself another kick from Bookman.
"I told you not to call me that, idiot apprentice!" Bookman almost yelled in annoyance
"This is Neah Walker. And he only looks familiar because I based the body structure on Allen's. I created a new body and mind for Neah and then transplanted his memories. I just made a few tweaks. Neah's body is at age 18-19. So he is older than Allen, I also made him taller." I replied smiling.
Lavi and Bookman got up and took a look at him more closely. Neah walked backwards a bit muttering something about personal space. Lavi and Bookman sat down, now finished with their recording. I took Allen and Neah over to where Tyki was reading his book. I collapsed into his lap while Neah and Allen took a seat next to us. Tyki wrapped his arms around me and was about to continue reading when he noticed Neah.
"Zara, who is this?" he asked me quietly.
"That is Allen." I said with a smile.
"I know who Allen is. I meant who is the other guy?" he asked chuckling slightly
"It's Neah Walker. You remember him, Tyki. I just created him a new body and mind of his own and transplanted his memories from Allen's mind into his own." I replied with a grin
"Ah, Neah, it's good to see you again my friend." Tyki said turning to him
"Yes Tyki. Long-time no see, huh?" Neah chuckled
"Well, Tyki we better get going. I have to introduce Neah to a lot more people." I said
"Yes Neah, it has been a long time. Ok Zara, and hey what's up with the umbrella?" Tyki replied
"Lila? Oh, I don't know actually. I found her in a huge box on my desk. It was from Komui. I guess I should ask him." I said getting up off his lap
"Does she talk like the Earls umbrella, Lero?" Tyki asked
"Why don't you ask her?" I suggested smiling
"Hey Lila, do you talk?" Tyki asked her
"Of course I talk, what do you take me for? I'm not mute you know!" Lila replied haughtily
"Well, that solves that question. And I am glad she speaks normally rather than talking like Lero used to. That pink pumpkin-headed umbrella pissed me off whenever he spoke, especially adding his name to the end of every sentence." Tyki said with a grin
"Ok Allen, Neah lets' go." I said beckoning them towards me.
We left the library and took a detour past the training room as we headed to the cafeteria. I could already hear Allen's stomach growling. It was so funny, but I had to suppress my laughter, less I wanted to hurt his feelings by embarrassing him due to his grumbling stomach. There wasn't really anyone in the training room at this point in time. There was only a couple of people, Chaoji, Noise and General Cloud Nyne were in there training. I popped my head round the door.
"Dinner is at 7pm like usual guys. Please don't be late." I called to them as we walked past.
We arrived at the cafeteria and found Kanda, Lenalee, Rhode, the other generals except Cross and some finders there. Allen headed straight for the order window where Jerry was. I laughed. I went to sit with Kanda and Lenalee. Neah followed.
"Hey Kanda, Lenalee. I'd like you to meet Neah Walker, Allen's Uncle." I said brightly
"Hey, Neah. Aren't you the fourteenth?" Lenalee asked with a frown.
"Yes I am." He replied with a small smile
"Then if you're the fourteenth how can you be here. I thought that you implanted your memories into Allen's mind when he was younger. How is it possible that you have your own body?" she asked still frowning.
"That is because I created a body and mind for him and then transplanted his memories from Allen's mind into his own." I answered smiling
"Oh ok, that makes sense then." Lenalee said with relief
"Che. So long as he doesn't get on my nerves, then I don't care." Said Kanda
"Kanda, be nice!" Lenalee scolded
"Che." Was his reply.
"I have business to attend to, so I'll leave you to it. Kanda I want to see you later. Lenalee would you mind continuing to introduce Neah around, when you're done let me know because then I can show him his room. Ok?" I said
"Yeah sure Zara." Lenalee replied
"Oh and has anyone seen Komui?" I asked
"No sorry, Zara, we haven't." Lenalee replied just as Allen came over with a trolley of food
I left them to it. Now that I had finished my business with Allen, it was time to hunt down Komui. 'Oh Joy! Not!' I thought walking back to my office. I needed a break; I didn't know that this was going to be tough. Ah well, it doesn't matter anyway.
