Lenalee walked slightly behind Allen up the mountain. He was clearing the vines and plants blocking their path with a make-shift knife made from a sharpened rock joined together with a small stick. Lenalee hated trekking in the night, there were all sorts of insects crawling around that she felt uneasy. Allen turned back to see Lenalee diving at Allen and clinging to his left arm. She was shaking for some reason and looking at something on the ground. Allen followed her gaze to see a spider crawling across the floor. He sighed then knelt down in front of Lenalee with his hands behind him.
"Get on" he said.
"Hmm?" Lenalee turned back to Allen.
"Get on; insects won't touch you if I carry you right?"
"Yeah but…It'll be too hard to walk up a mountain and carry me…"
"Well it'll be better than you freaking out" Allen chuckled and looked at Lenalee "Look a spider!"
"Eek!" Lenalee squealed running to Allen. Allen took this as an opportunity and knelt down further. Lenalee tripped on his leg and fell onto his back. He jolted up with his hands around Lenalee's thighs and piggy-backed her.
"Hehe" Allen laughed.
"Hey let me go! I can walk on my own!"Lenalee shouted struggling to break free from Allen's grip.
"No way! Do you remember that there are spiders and bugs on the floor?" Allen said creepily. Lenalee stayed quiet and wrapped her arms around his chest, resting her chin on his left shoulder.
"See, it's a lot better" Allen whispered.
"Alright, you win…" Lenalee replied looking at the ground. She spotted a massive insect leap across the side of the path. Lenalee jumped and squealed at the sight of this. This made Allen trip and twist around, falling on his back.
"Mmf! Lenalee! Can you get off me please?" he said, his voice muffled. Lenalee stopped squealing and looked down to see Allen's face buried in her breasts.
"Oh my Gosh! Sorry!" Lenalee shouted, getting off Allen.
"It's alright" he said nonchalantly, brushing dirt off his shorts and trying to hide his red cheeks "Anyway let's go". They walked side by side this time, afraid that the previous incident would repeat itself. They walked for a while in awkward silence. Just as Allen was about to say something, they heard a rustle beneath them. The leaves gave in, and the pair fell down a deep hole.
"Aaah!" they shouted falling down the 10 metre hole. At the bottom of the hole, for some reason there was a soft bed of leaves that was most likely there to break the victims fall. Allen landed first on his feet and then Lenalee landed in Allen's arms.
"Thanks!" Lenalee gasped.
"No problem" Allen looked up "there's only one person who would be this childish…Lavi!"
Just then, two heads popped into their sights.
"Ahh…We go Allen and Lenalee!" Rosie said.
"Don't worry, Allen will get out of there soon, this is just for a head start!" Lavi grabbed his partners hand and dashed off.
"Grr…" Allen growled "Anyway, let's get out of here!"
"How?" Lenalee asked.
"We jump of course!" Allen ran up one side of the whole with Lenalee in his hands and then jumped back the opposite direction. He repeated this process until the two were out of the whole.
"This is going to be hard if we want to win…" Allen said. He turned Lenalee in his arms so that she was facing him and had her legs around his waist and arms around his neck.
"Ehh…?" her face turning crimson red.
"Hold on tight!" Allen shouted placing his arms around her back. Before Lenalee could protest about what they were going to do, Allen ran at full speed up the mountain path. Lenalee clung on tighter holding on for dear life, obviously scared at how fast they were going. They spotted Lavi and Rosie walking at a steady pace. Allen slowed down and silently placed Lenalee down on her feet. He took her hand and crept around Lavi and Rosie who were having a conversation about rabbits. Very fitting for someone who was called one every day. As soon as they passed them, Allen and Lenalee jogged up to an opening.
"There it is!" Allen whispered, pointing at a flag in the middle of the clearing. Allen ran up and plucked the flag of the ground. Lenalee was confused when he saw Allen sit down cross-legged and place the flag in front of him. He pulled out a jug from his backpack and took out two cups.
"Do you drink tea?" Allen asked pouring the brown liquid in one cup and placing it on the grassy floor.
"Yeah" Lenalee replied sitting cross-legged next to Allen. Allen handed her a cup and they drank.
"Why tea?" Lenalee asked.
"Wait till you see the look on Lavi's face" he chuckled evilly. They stopped drinking their tea when they heard a rustle in the bushes. Lavi and Rosie walked in shocked at Allen and Lenalee.
"What took you so long?" Allen chuckled, sipping his tea.
"ALLEN!" Lavi shouted "NO!" Allen dramatically dropped his tea cup and clenched his left eye crying in pain. Lavi ran over to Allen's side leaving Rosie and Lenalee confused.
"Oi Allen! What's wrong!" Lavi panicked placing a caring arm around Allen.
"Lavi…Get Kanda"
"Wha-"
"Akuma…" The last word Allen said sent a shiver of fear and confusion down the girls' spine.
"What do you mean Akuma! What's wrong Allen?" Lenalee asked.
"I'm sorry for not telling you before, but it's confidential. Guess I have to show you now though" Allen chuckled revealing his left eye. Rosie and Lenalee gasped when they saw a gear around Allen's eye which was now red and black.
"Innocence activate!" Lavi and Allen whispered in unison. Lavi's small hammer grew larger and the pole of it flew up into the sky. Lavi jumped on and flew out with the hammer. But what startled the two girls the most was that Allen's arm had transformed with knife like fingers and he a white cloak appeared around him.
"Allen?" Lenalee asked tears rolling down her eyes. She didn't understand what was going on, and most of all the fact that Allen hid something so big from her.
"Sorry…" Allen replied as he faced her. On the fur around his chest was a masquerade mask. Allen's hair had spiked up slightly. As he said that Lenalee and Rosie gasped one more time as behind Allen, as monstrous creatures appeared. Allen followed her gaze and scowled at the sight.
"Hmm…about hundred level 1's, twenty level 2's, fifteen level 3's and…five level 4's" Allen sighed covering his eyes with his masquerade mask "Lenalee…Rosie…run"
"What? Why!" Lenalee shouted "We're not leaving you! Explain what's going on!"
"I'll explain later!" Allen paused for a moment "Crap…the other students. Lenalee, Rosie don't say anything to the other students about Lavi, Kanda and I" He flew forward grabbing Lenalee and Rosie under his arms.
"Where are we going!" Rosie asked.
"To the beach, stay there okay!" Allen jumped high up into the air and over the forest. He jumped from tree to tree avoiding loose branches. In a matter of seconds he reached the beach and softly placed the two frightened girls down on the sand.
"Stay here! I need to get the other students!" Allen jumped back into the forest returning with students in his hands. He ran back to the clearing where the flag was to see that Lavi and Kanda were leaning against a tree, panting.
"What took you so long Moyashi, We're cleared over here" Kanda panted.
"Damn it! The rest of the akuma are passing us! They are after the students at the beach!" Allen shouted, his left eye scanning 360 degrees.
"Why? We're the exorcists here!" Lavi shouted now standing up but instantly falling back to his previous position clutching his left leg.
"That's it! The Earl must have figured out who the innocence host is!"Allen exclaimed.
"So an innocence host is in our grade?" Lavi asked.
"But why this many Akuma?"
"What if it's the heart?" Lavi said as Allen and Kanda's eyes widened.
"I'll go back now you two stay here!"
"No way! We're going with you!"
"Look at yourselves, you've taken too much damage, plus I haven't had a chance to fight" Allen smirked before jumping down through the dense forest. Lavi and Kanda reluctantly stayed with their backs against the tree. When Allen arrived at the beach, he noticed the students cornered by a level 4 Akuma with the other Akuma behind it. Allen jumped down and said in a voice that sounded little like his own "May your soul find salvation…" Allen slashed through the Akuma with his left-hand which had now transformed into a giant sword "…pitiful Akuma". The Akuma exploded behind him as the students gasped in relief.
"It's the White Knight!" a student shouted.
"He's going to save us!" another student shouted afterwards.
"Go as far away from here as possible" Allen said to the students.
"Wait! Where are Allen, Lavi and Kanda!" a student shouted.
"They are fighting with me against these monsters. Their physical strength is needed at a time like this" Allen lied.
"That's our Allen!"They said and backed away into the shallow water. Allen slashed through Akuma with his exorcising sword. The amount of Akuma was a great strain on his body.
"Clown Belt!" Allen shouted as a white cloth-like substances shot through many Akuma destroying them "Damn it! Why are there more than before!"
Allen coughed out blood when he looked behind him. A level 4 Akuma had impaled him with its weapon.
"White Knight!" the students shouted almost at the point of crying. There was no hope anymore; they were all going to die.
"Kufufufu…" Allen chuckled as he looked up at the Akuma. His hair turned wavy and through the slits in the mask, the level 4 Akuma could see his eyes turned golden.
"Noah…" The Akuma said with a frightened tone. Allen placed his index finger on the Akuma's forehead and then it exploded. The students mouth fell wide open with a glimmer of hope in their eyes.
"You're time is up…Die Akuma" Allen, or rather the 14th Noah said, straightening his back and pointing at the horde of more than two hundred Akuma. As the words left Allen's lips, all the Akuma imploded with a flash of light. The students covered their eyes with their arms and hands and opened them when the sound died down. All they saw was the 'White Knight' standing on the sand.
"Well, you can come back Allen. Don't get me wrong, I only saved you because it would be troublesome for me if you died" the 14th thought as Allen took control of his body again.
"Way to go White Knight!" the students cheered running over to him. As they did he walked towards the forest.
"Where are you going?" a student asked.
"I am going to get Allen, Lavi and Kanda…They did a great job fighting" Allen said as he disappeared into the forest. When Allen arrived at the clearing where Lavi and Kanda where, he found they were unconscious in the same place he left them. Allen activated his innocence and put each on over his shoulders. He jumped through the forest stopping near the beach. He deactivated his innocence and walked through the bushes and onto the beach with students awaiting their return.
"Hey guys" Allen said.
"Allen! I heard you fought with the White Knight against those monsters!"
"I never would've believed they were real!"
"You guys saved us!" The students crowded around Allen. Allen walked to a clear place away from the crowd and placed his two comrades on the sand. He tried to shake and talk his friends awake but it didn't succeed. Allen pulled out Kanda's sword from its sheath buckled to his belt and pointed the blade at Kanda's neck.
"Hey Allen what're you doing!" a girl shouted running over to stop him.
"Don't worry, this a way of waking him up" Allen smiled sending the girl into a blushing frenzy.
"Oi BaKanda. Wake up before I slice you with your own sword!" Allen said raising the sword and bringing it down. The students couldn't watch. But when they opened their eyes, they were surprised to see Kanda, with his eyes closed gripping the sword blade with one hand.
"Moyashi…" he hissed opening his eyes "You're dead…" Allen let go off the sword and ran away from Kanda as he was now up and slashing wildly at him with Mugen.
"Oi, I was just trying to wake you up!" Allen shouted ducking under a horizontal strike. They students and surprisingly even the teacher watched in amusement. Except for one girl who just che'd and walked away. Kanda stopped with his blade touching Allen's chin. He sheathed it and walked off through the crowd of students and back towards his cabin.
"Che" Kanda whispered. He was surprised that he was not the only one who said it. He turned his head to see a girl with long black hair crossing her arms, the same one that che'd before. He turned away quickly and walked up the steps to his cabin. Lavi who was now awake was chuckling at the girl who was exactly like Kanda.
"Anyway, everyone go back to your cabins. No one is allowed to go outside without either me, Lavi or Kanda" Allen explained, taking the initiative. Even the teacher was surprised at how mature this boy was and his leadership skills "If you see anything unusual, notify one of us immediately via the Walkie Talkie's we got earlier".
"Who made you boss!" the bully from the bus shouted, receiving hateful glares from the other students.
"I'm not being boastful or anything but, if it weren't for us, you would have died a long time ago" Allen replied. This forced the bully to stay silent and cover in guilt.
"Miss?" Allen asked.
"Yes Allen?" the teacher replied.
"Do you still have the candy? I mean I won anyway…" Allen said embarrassed. The students laughed at his change of personality, from serious to childish.
"Of course" the teacher chuckled throwing him a bag of candy.
"YES!" Allen said victoriously "Oh um, can we do the night activities tomorrow night?"
"It's not like we have a choice. Students go to your assigned cabins! You heard what Allen said!" The teacher directed them to the top of the cabins and said her goodnights. Although this incident had been put to an end, Lenalee and Rosie were still not convinced. Allen, Lavi and Kanda sat down on the roof of their cabins, watching out for Akuma.
"We're going to be facing a lot more later on" Lavi sighed.
"Che. They better come. My blade hasn't tasted much Akuma in a while" Kanda said lying back on the slanted roof.
"Allen, how many innocence fragments do you have right now?" Lavi asked turning his head to Allen who was just gazing at the moon.
"Moon's so big…" Allen said as Lavi frowned.
"Answer the question" Lavi asked a little more forceful than intended. Allen reached for his backpack which was wedged in the gutter below. He reached into the front zip and pulled out a small suitcase and opened it revealing innocence fragments.
"Six including our own" Allen said putting the suitcase back into his bag. He sighed and lay back on the roof and stared at the moon. He didn't have to worry about Akuma because if they were nearby, his eye would sense it. The three of them stared at the bright crescent moon.
"By the way Moyashi. How did you defeat all of the Akuma?" Kanda asked as Allen flinched.
"Err, there weren't many left" he lied. He didn't want his friends to worry about the 14th.
"Don't lie Moyashi. I clearly felt the presence of about two hundred"
"14th killed them all…" Allen sighed as his two other friends snapped their attention to him.
"Why would he do that!" Lavi asked now sitting up.
"He didn't want me to die" Allen held his hair in his hands and continued "It seems, he really is stuck on taking over my body…" Lavi placed his right hand on Allen's left shoulder.
"He won't take over Allen. All of us at the Order will support you" Lavi smiled.
"Thanks" Allen returned the smile.
"Allen! Can I talk to you" a voice said from below. Allen crawled over to the edge to see Lenalee and Rosie.
"Lenalee? Rosie?" Allen asked jumping down. After hearing Rosie's name, Lavi jumped down and joined them.
"Allen-kun, please tell me what's happening…"
Please review :)
