In some unknown localization, a shadow figure was looking at horizon, watching the sun rising. He noticed he wasn't alone, but he didn't bother turingn around to see who it was. He already knew who was there as he was still watching the horizon.
"What did you find out?"
"It was what you've feared." Said the person. From the voice it was a young female voice. "They've awakened."
The shadow figured tisked annoyed. In the deep he already had expected this happening soon or later, knowing The Order's arrogance would lead to this. The Shadow figure only looked his pair of silver gauntlets with a red jewel in the centerin his hand as he could see in his mind all the loved ones lives being destroyed because of the Order's prideful and arrogant attitudes.
"There's something else you need to know. My cards had foreseen someone will be forced to open the gate."
"What did you say?"

Inside of the Arc, Pride, Envy and Gluttony were waiting for the noah return. Pride was reading some files as Gluttony was eating something. Only Envy looked annoyed because the thing he hated most was waiting.
"How long will we have to wait?" Envy asked in annoyed voice. "It's been hours they're out and trapping us here!"
"Patience, Envy." Pride said with his eyes still in the files. "Millenniun Earl said he felt the last member of his family awaking, which means soon we will met all the 13 noah completed again."
Envy only scoffed in response. They were in that room for several hours and not allowed to come out until Millenniun Earl returns. Envy was tired of waiting. He wanted to torment Dr. Marcoh who's in charge of creating red stones to them. Suddenly Millenniun Earl showed up in there, along with Road and another Noah who had 3 eyes on his forehead.
"Hallo there! Sorry for keeping you waiting." Millenniun Earl said in a joyful voice.
"It's about the time, Fatso!"Envy snapped. "We have been waiting here for hours!"
That's when Pride used his shadow to smack Envy's head.
Smack!
"Ouch! What the heck was that for?"
"Be more respectful to your superiors, Envy." Pride said in a cold voice. "Didn't Dante teach you manners? "
Envy growled at Pride. If that shrimp wasn't so powerful, he would have making him to slip out the red stones out from his stomach and killing him right on the spot. The oldest homunculus couldn't understand how that guy can be so powerful, being able to have the shadows of the gate. Not even the previous Wrath who came from the gate had this much power.
"That's interesting." The unknown noah said. "So, these are the homunculus you told me about, Earl?"
"Yes yes, Pride, Envy, Gluttony, I want introduce you Wisely. He's the 5th disciple and he has just have awakened tonight."
"Millennium Earl had commented something about you."Pride commented. "You're also known as the demon eye and your ability on reading people's minds."
Wisely only smirked. He always felt pride about his title and his ability. Gluttony only looked at him with blank eyes as he sniffed.
"He smells bad and I doubt he taste good either." Gluttony said.
Wiselly sweetdroped. What the heck that fat guy meant with he does not taste good? He could understand the smell, but taste? Pride only muttered to not mind Gluttony as he was starting at Road. Road frowned when she saw the blond homunculus was starting at her.
"What are you looking at?" Road asked as she crossed her arms
"Nothing." Pride smirked as he looked at Millennium Earl "Millenniun Earl, I would like to discuss you about this second exorcist project."
"Oh, You're interested in this project, aren't you?" Earl commented as Pride was still smirking
"If this project is what I am thinking it is, I might get at least one new sin to our side."

Sometime later, somewhere in Jordan, Allen and his group were fighting against swarm of akuma. Even using his exorcist sword, Allen was having difficulties because of the large number. For his luck, Tokusa and Madaro; two members of crow who were also the 3rd exorcist arrived there to aid him. Using his dark matter, Tokusa absorbed all the akuma in seconds.
"Amazing. All of them swallowed up in an instant." Allen thought amazed. "But does it affects his body."
Then, Allen gasped in horror when he saw all the souls of akuma disappearing before him. His cursed eye starts to bleed as Tokusa looked at him in wonder.
"oh? Were the souls of the akuma in pain?"Tokusa asked, since he knew Allen's cursed eye abilities from the reports. " To see such sights, I envy you."
Bam!
Allen would have punched the green haired exorcist, but Tokusa quickly caugh his fist.
"How you think about it is up to you, I guess." Allen said, smiling to Tokusa, but in the deep he was pissed. "please, just don't mention this. These things are kinda a taboo to me."
"But I can't help but to think about it." Tokusa chucked, even when Allen still wanted beat him up senseless.
Tokusa gulped when he felt a killing aura intent towards him. He knew Madarao was pissed at him. He soon apologized to Allen for being rude as he comments he was feeling very high spirit after beating an akuma. Then Tokusa smiled.
"My heart wobbled with emotion when I though that I could be any help to God."
Suddenly Tokusa felt something get through him as his arms were chopped off. Allen gasped in horror as he saw Tyki in there, being the one who chopped Tokusa's arm. Tyki was different. His hair was longer and now he was using a white and black outfit, but the white haired exorcist still recognized him.
"Hallo there, boy."
"Tyki!"
The noah of Pleasure smiked. He didn't come alone; along with him were two other noah that Allen never had met before. Allen Cursed. He knew Tyki was trouble alone and he knew they can't stand facing 3 noah at once.

Somewhere in Noth America, Millennium Earl along with, Road ( in a doll form) Pride and Envy were standing there, seeing the Black Order American branch's pyramid . Envy was eager, it has been a long time he watched a confrontation in this level.
"That isn't particularly sad compared to the fight in our family." Earl commented " Like with the 14th."
"Oh yeah, that time with 14th was also painful." Road also commented as both of their were remembering the terrible fight with 14th years ago.
Then, Millennium Earl was in his kneed, with a gloom aura around him and tears rolling down on his face.
"Neah….." he whimpered as Road tried to comfort him. Pride and Envy only narrowed their eyes as they watched Millennium Earl whining like a girl who just broke up with her boyfriend.
"What the fuck is his problem?" muttered Envy to Pride.
"Who knows?" muttered Pride back to envy "My bets are that this 14th was Earl's lover."
Envy nodded, agreeing with Pride for the first time. Most of the powerful figure usually have lovers and they can't live without them. They guessed it was Millennium Earl's case. Earl returned to his old personality as he returned to his true form that everyone knew.
"Now, before we get start it, I will ask once more. Are you sure Allen Walker will survive after seeing that?" Earl asked, in a very serious voice .
Pride only looked at with a blank look in his eyes. He knew in the deep he was concern because of the 14th. He really can't blame him because everything can happen after seeing that thing.
"I am sure he will survive." Pride said to Earl. "If he could survive with a hole in his heart, I have no doubts he will survive from that as well. I just can't guarantee he will be one piece after that."
Envy looked confused. What the hell they were talking about? He noticed Road was also quiet as well. Then, Envy smirked as he released what they were talking about.
"So, you two plan to make this Allen walker seeing the gate?" Though Envy, smirking "I wonder how will you two do that?"
Then, Millennium Earl summoned some level 4 akuma as he grimed.
"Now, let's start the party."

It didn't take very long time for Earl and the Noah completely taking over the American Branch Order. All the scientists and the branch leaders were taken as hostages at the room where Alma Karma was sealed.
"Earl. I took these people who were trying running off." Pride said, as he entered in the room with the last scientists in the building.
Jonny was terrified. He hated being taken as a hostage again as his body moved against his will. The young scientist gasped in horror when he saw Kanda laying down emotionless on the tank where Alma was sealed. Earl thanked Pride for his work as Lvellie paled when he saw Pride in there. When Pride saw Lvellie was there, he smirked.
"Well well well, what a surprise. Never in my dreams I would be able to see you here, Malcom." Pride said with a blood lust smile in his lips. "You got pretty much older than the last time we saw each other. What 20 years can do to a human body."
Lvellie was quivering in fear as Bak and Zu Mei asked who that blond was. Then, they heard Pride laughing, making Lvellie even more terrified.
"You didn't tell them about me, did you Malcom? Well I can't blame you, since you view me as your greatest mistake and greatest sin." Pride chucked as everyone looked even more confuse.
"Inspector, what is he talking about?" Renny asked, fearing the answer.
"Oh? You wanna know?"Then, pride looked at Earl "Oi Earl , you don't mind if I tell them a little story, do you?" he asked.
"Oh no, not at all, Pride." Said Millenniun Earl. " We still have some time before our especial guest arrives here."
Pride smiked as he used his shadow tentacle to get a chair to sit on. Once he sat down on the chair and crossing his legs, he starts to tell his story to the members of the Order.
"Once upon a time two young boys who were members of the Order. One of them was a brilliant exorcist and the other one was a member of Lvellie family. "Pride said as everyone was quiet. Pride even made his shadows forming two small figures, improvising a small shadow theater. Then, Pride continued his story. " Two of them never got along. The young exorcist was not only a prodigious but also he was one of the very few people who knows and can do alchemy transmutations while the Lvellie boy was just a daddy's boy who wants make his father proud of him." Then Pride made the two shadow figures having some type of argument " Then one day the Lvellie boy found out about the human transmutation and he came with a thought; 'if Millennium Earl can use the souls of the dead to form his army, why can't we do the same? Reviving our fallen exorcists.' Of course the alchemist exorcist was against this idea and with a good reason which he didn't tell to the Lvellie boy. He just said 'fuck off' to him before hiding his notes about alchemy from everyone." Then, the shadows changed, with one of the figures being replaced by a fat figure with an umbrella. Everyone recognized it was Millennium Earl. "But this brilliant exorcist met his ending when he faced with the Order's greats nemesis; Millennium Earl." Pride made the fat figure stabbing the smaller one. Then it changed with another figure stealing something from the dead figure. "With this exorcist dead, the Lvellie boy took all the notes that the exorcist had hidden and then he gave them to his daddy. The Lvellie boy got what he wanted but…"
Pride withdraws all his shadows as he got clover to Lvellie as he petted his face. Pride face was showing a lot of blood lust towards him, making Lvellie having chills in his spine. Pride looked to everyone to finish his story.
" The patriarch of Lvellie family took some Crow members and they made a human transmutation to bring a fallen exorcist back from the death. They decided to bring Edward Elric first since he had more knowledge on alchemy than anyone else in the Order. The ones who made the transmutation, some of them lost their limps, others had their organs damaged and the rest just went insane after seeing the gate. But all their efforts were in vain because what they bought was not Edward Elric, but something else and that thing had his appearance and memories; a homuculus. After eating enough red stones, the homunculus went in a rampage and killing all the ones responsible for his creation. He even had killed some exorcist from that time, one of them was a general. The ones who stopped the homunculus's rampage were General Roy Mustang and Alphonse Elric- a scientist member and Edward Elric's little brother. Thought of the killings, the Lvellie boy still didn't care about the lives they lost, he just ordered some surviving Crow members to seal the homunculus which he slept for long 20 years. End of the story."
Millenniun Earl clapped his hands, saying he enjoyed the story very much. Pride bowed to him, thanking him for liking the story he had just told them. Envy now understood how Pride was created. He was right when he thought Alphonse Elric was not the one who did a human transmutation to bring him back. Then, Pride just looked at the motionless Kanda and Alma.
"The Human transmutation didn't stop there." Pride said. "They still used the human transmutation in hopes to bring fallen exorcists back from the death. This time they mixed magic and alchemy to create imperfect homunculus. They do not need red stones and still having regeneration but not as fast as a true homunculus."
Then, Kanda finally awaked, as he gasped in surprise when he noticed Alma floating inside of the thank. He could hear Alma's voice inside of him when he first meet.
"Well Millenniun Earl, all we need now waiting for walker right?" Sheryl asked as he was sitting on a coffin, smiling. After all we took this Third as a bait."
As soon Sheryl said that the noah's dark gate opened under Sheryl and Earl, surprising them both. Tyki and Allen jumped out from it, knocking off both Earl and Sheryl.
"Return my comrades!" Allen shouted.
"So he finally came." thought Pride smirking " Millennniun Earl's nuisance; Allen Walker."
Tyki shouted to get out the way but both Noah and exorcist fall into Millenniun Earl. Millenniun Earl groaned as Tyki commented he did warn him to get out the way. Pride just palmed faced. He couldn't believe he was being forced to work with that clow. Allen gasped in surprised when he saw Kanda, Tokusa ( Under the coffin) and everyone in there. Lvellie wondered why they did bring Allen in there.
Suddenly shadow tentacles warped around Allen and the young exorcist was lifted in the air before he was brutally pinned down in the ground. Pride went where Allen was as his shadows crushed the tank, lifted Alma's body in the air as the tentacles were warping around his body. Pride smiled at Allen.
"Hallo there, we were not introduced to each other. I am Pride." Pride said as he forming a transmutation circle under Allen.
Alllen could feel chills in his spine. He was sure that blond guy was not a noah but not a human either. He could feel a very strong blood lust from him.
"W-What are you….?"
"I am a homunculus."Pride said still smiling.
When pride finally finished the transmutation circle, Lvellie gasped in horror when he reconozed the circle; it was a human transmutation circle, What they were planning?
"Try to not die, ok?"
Brilliant white light exploded into the air. Johnny called Allen's name out as he disappeared in the light.

Allen blinked when he noticed the ambient around him; everything was white.
W-What is it?" Wondered Allen looking around him. "Where's the noah? Everyone?"
Then Allen felt chills in his spines when he felt a strange presence. When he turned around he saw an odd black gate and in the front of the black gate was something. A pure white humanoid thing. The thing just smiled in a maniac way at Allen. Before Allen could do anything, images stared to get through his head as yelled in pain, a pain he never felt before- worse when Tyki destroyed his left arm and made a hole in his heart.
To be continue.
Oh oh, Allen saw the gate. Now what he will loose after seeing the gate? You have to wait to see what will happens next.
Don't forget to leave your review. See ya in the next chapter.
