Chapter 3: Evasion
"Lavi!!" Allen and Lenalee screamed at the same time. Both of them rushed to Lavi's side and Allen raised him up by the shoulders. "Lavi!" Lenalee started crying while Kanda and Miranda came over. "I'll carry him! Quick!" Allen ordered anxiously, totally forgetting Miranda can stop the bleeding.
"Innocence, activate!" As quickly as she can. Miranda reversed the time on Lavi.
Lavi's wounds were soon gone and the stab in his chest was back to normal. He also began to regain consciousness. "Wha…," his eye fluttered open and saw Allen's face right in front of his. "ALLEN! Don't scare me like that!" Lavi jumped out of Allen's grip and saw all of them giving him a worried look, with exception of Kanda. Allen wasted no time and grabbed Lavi's arm over his shoulders. "Hurry! We've got to get him to the infirmary!"
"Hey, I can walk!" Lavi struggled.
"I'll take Lavi and Miranda with me first!" Lenalee suggested and activated her innocence. "Innocence, activate!" The blood red rings at her ankles dispersed and wrapped around her legs, becoming a pair of boots. Lenalee grabbed Miranda by the waist and Lavi by the wrist, releasing him from Allen. With that, she took off to the headquarter with her innocence before Lavi could release his arm from her.
Allen and Kanda briskly followed back to the Order.

"I though you said that his innocence was alright?" Allen asked Reever anxiously.
"I really did though so. I don't understand why his hammer broke too," Reever replied with concern.
Allen looked on the ground before turning his back on Reever, entering the infirmary. Howard followed behind. He turned to the left to find Lavi lying on a bed with the head nurse and Bookman looking after him. If Lenalee hadn't gone to find her brother, he might be facing a crying Lenalee right now. Krory and Miranda had left the room, knowing that they can do nothing while Bookman stayed behind, trying to understand the situation.
Allen walked towards Lavi's bed and stood beside it, Bookman on the opposite.
"Is there anything that could be done?" Allen asked worriedly.
The head nurse and Bookman took a glance at each other before Bookman answered his queries. "There's nothing we could do about his fever although his wounds should be fine. We can only wait for his fever to go down."
However, Allen could sense a tinge of strangeness in Bookman's tone, so he knew it wouldn't be as simple. After Bookman left and the head nurse went to the other parts of the infirmary, Allen made his way out as well. He was tired due to the lack of sleep. Thinking that he had better rest in order to regain strength for the morning, he plodded to his room, feeling useless. It was a good thing that the infirmary wasn't far from his room, or it would've taken forever to reach there.
"Ah! Sorry! I wasn't looking!" he said, taking a look at the person he bumped into. Howard backed away to prevent knocking into Allen. It was Lenalee. Her eyes were filled tears and there were trails of wetness on her cheeks. "Lenalee!"
"Lavi's hammer can't be fixed!" Lenalee cried before throwing herself at Allen, sobbing on his shoulder. Allen was astonished while Lenalee continued, "It kept breaking throughout the process! Lavi may have to leave us soon!"

'Where am I…?' Lavi opened his eyes, finding himself standing. He was in some space that's completely white. A distance away, in front of him was a innocence, in a cubic form. It was glowing strongly and brighter as Lavi took a step forward. 'Innocence?' It felt strange. Not the same as before.
'I remember… fighting against the Akuma who imposed as Kanda… Ozuchi Kozuchi was acting weird. Then I was stabbed right through the heart because Ozuchi Kozuchi broke.'
"What happened? Why can't you fight normally?" Lavi asked in confusion.
"Because you should get rid of it right now, Lavi! It doesn't need you and you don't need it!" A voice from behind answered.
Lavi turned around in surprise and there stood Bookman Junior.
"It can't synchronize properly with you anymore, Lavi. Its synchronization rate with you dropped like raindrops from the sky. You shouldn't be bothered about it at all! You're not supposed to be attached to the innocence! And of course, those people that you're working with! You're a Bookman! Not an Exorcist! Stop being such an asshole!"
Lavi knew this, he knew this all along. But he just couldn't. He couldn't just stand by and watch as his friends suffered! Friends? Are they friends? Are they supposed to be friends? "AHHHHHHHH!! STOP IT!!" Lavi shrieked as he clenched his head and fell on his knees.
"Don't you want to become a Bookman, Lavi? Why are you confused? Isn't that your goal? Why are you so indecisive, Lavi?!" Bookman Junior shouted.
Lavi didn't answer. He continued kneeling on the snow white floor, trying to ease his pain. He had gotten away before. Now he wasn't sure whether he could escape anymore. This isn't an illusion made by Road. This is inside of him. He couldn't escape now.

Allen was back into the infirmary after escorting Lenalee back to her room. 'Have his innocence left him? But, the innocence is still there… Are they not compatible anymore? Is that why?' These questions were going through his head over and over again. He was concerned that Lavi's fever might deteriorate further due to the possible lost of innocence. He couldn't bear to leave his side this instant.
The white-haired gazed at his red-haired friend. Lavi's face seemed to glow under the lights, showing how stunning his features were. His breathing was slightly brisk as his chest rose and fell. Allen settled into the chair next to Lavi's bed and held on to his hand. Howard stood right beside him. Allen was slightly annoyed by the presence of the inspector when he wasn't in such a good mood. "Lavi…" He called out, despite the presence of Howard and abruptly released his grasp on Lavi's hand, noticing how warm his hand was. 'Is this fever? He feels like he's on fire right now!' Overcoming his shock, Allen looked over to the nightstand on his left and noticed Lavi's headband. It was not the one made by Johnny, but the black one that Lavi tied before Johnny made him one (Allen don't know about this). 'Right… He didn't tell me why he always ties a headband, although he did take it out multiple times recently. His eye patch as well…'
Allen's left eye suddenly activated and he could see a large number of Akuma coming from above. There were at least thousands. 'They're coming for us in massive numbers... Damn! It has be now of ALL times!' He activated his anti-akuma weapon promptly, turning his left arm from dark red to white, his fingers became claws. A white cloak was formed on his body and a mask hanged at his neck. He reached out his right arm, transforming his left arm into a sword. The Akuma straightaway crashed through the ceiling, opening an enormous hole. They were all Level threes, just like before when Lulubell came to recover the egg. The Black Order isn't as safe anymore.
"All of you get out of here NOW!!" Allen bellowed at every patient, the head nurse and the inspector. They complied and hurried out of the infirmary as the head nurse directed them. In their panic, Lavi was left behind with Allen. 'I'll protect you, Lavi!' the exorcist swore as he noticed Lavi being left out.
"You'll never get away!! All of you shall die!!" the Akuma yelled and went after the escaping patients.
"As if I'll let you do so!! Ahhhhh…!" Allen roared as he jumped towards the bunch of Akuma, wielding his sword. A handful of Akuma were destroyed in a flash but Allen was outnumbered.
"ARGH!!" groaned Allen as he crushed into the wall with a great impact. The crash didn't seem to hurt much and he jumped up to attack again. As he defeated the Akuma in front of him, another prepared to attack him from the back. Before Allen could turn back, the Akuma reached him. "Innocence! Activate!" A cry was heard and the Akuma was gone by the time he managed to turn over. It was destroyed by Lenalee.
"Allen! We're here to help!" she said while Allen touched the ground. He looked around and saw his exorcist friends fighting against the Akuma. He returned into the air and continued fighting. However, it wasn't enough. The generals were out of the Order in the meantime and the number of exorcists… 'Those who can easily defeat level three Akuma weren't enough! There're not enough strong exorcists!'
All of a sudden, the redhead stirred. "Lavi?" Allen fought off an Akuma. "Are you awake?" Allen asked anxiously, but there wasn't an answer. Lavi gritted his teeth so tightly that Allen was frightened as he had a glimpse. Droplets of sweat formed against his skin and his eyebrows frowned. "Are you alright, Lavi?!" Allen cried desperately.
He couldn't concentrate on fighting when he's worried about Lavi. Once again, he was thrown off and fell flat on to the ground, damaging the cemented floor.
