Unnatural Occurences
Chapter 10: The Madness
October 22nd, time: 8:20AM, location: Dark Heath Academy
''So, what's going on between you and Lenalee huh?'' Lavi asked while poking my face. I pushed his finger away and said.
''I have no idea what you're talking about whatsoever HammaBoy.'' I said.
''H-HammaBoy? Excuse me, but that was extremely rude. Just because I wield a hammer doesn't mean that you can call me a HammaBoy.'' He said and pulled out his hammer out of nowhere. It was really small and cute.
''Nice hammer kid.'' Someone said when he walked past Lavi. He looked extremely irritated and put his hammer back into his pocket.
''Anywa, you didn't answer my question. What's up with you two?'' He said. ''She blushed madly when I asked her about what you said when I left the infirmary.'' He added. Lenalee, what the hell? How come you're blushing when I'm not around, but not when I am around. You're weird.
''Well, if you must know. Then she just started to tell that it was all her fault. That's why I didn't want you to leave.'' I said and sighed.
''Oh... I didn't know... haha, I don't care. So what's going on between you two?'' Tch, he is smarter than I thought. Should I tell him or not? I'll stick with not.
''Like I said, nothing.'' I said again, but then I bumped into someone, it was a girl. I looked at her and gasped.
''A-Asakura?'' I asked confused. She was wearing our school uniforms. She smiled and stepped back a bit.
''Hello Allen, It's been a while hasn't it.'' She said. Lavi looked confused, but I payed no attention to him.
''Umm.. well yes, I guess. What are you doing here?'' I asked her.
''I go to this school now. It looks like you're doing great here.'' She turned towards Lavi. ''I'm Asakura Khara, nice to meet you. I'm pretty sure that we haven't met yet.'' She said and raised her hand, Lavi shook it.
''Oh, I'm Lavi Bookman, nice to meet you.'' He turned towards me and whispered. ''Allen, who is she? She's a cutie.'' I nudged him with my elbow making him cough.
''D-damn you, what was that for.'' He said while holding onto his stomach.
''Don't hit on girls you don't know.'' I turned back towards Asakura. ''Umm... what class might you be in?'' I asked.
''Same class as you. I'm a transfer student.'' I thought so. ''So, tell me what's going on this time? Knowing you, -well I don't know you, but- then you wouldn't just transfer to my school without something going on.''
She leaned closer to me and whispered to my ear. ''Millenium Earl is going to kill you. I have come to protect you. You could say that I was ordered, but I came on my own this time. I have instincts you know. But that doesn't matter, for the time being I calculated the best story for the occasion. You are my old friend who you met when we were about 5 years old, but you had to move away because of Cross.''
I whispered back. ''That story seems too good to be true. But I guess we should go with it. Can you tell me the probabilty of someone finding out about it?''
''Exactly 12.78%. But it will raise a bit today, aproximately by 4%. The one who will think that this is a lie is a person named Lenalee Lee.''
''Can I just ask, how come you can see the future?'' I whispered.
''Classified. Your friend is getting curious.'' She whispere again. Crap, that's right I forgot Lavi completely.
''Okay then, I didn't know you were that Asakura. Haha, sorry I forgot about you.'' I said and laughed a bit.
''It's okay, but you should have called me, I gave you my number didn't I? Geez, some people are extremely mean. But for now I'm just happy to see you again.'' She said really convincingly.
''Yea, whatever. So how long will you stay here?'' I asked her.
''Cla- I don't quite know yet.'' She said and smiled. Yea I know what you were going to say you idiot, how come you even stuttered?
''Whatever, well glad to see you then. By the way you should stay away from that idiot Bookman, he is dangerous. He stalks girls. I think..'' I said and turned to look towards Lavi. ''J-just kidding, haha...'' I added after seeing Lavi's face.
''Well, I should go now. Bye!'' She said and left.
After a while, where me and Lavi were silent and just kept walking.
''I thought you didn't have anymore friends?'' He asked curiously.
''I said I forgot about her didn't I?'' I said.
''She said you have her phone number, care to show me if that's true?'' He asked. But I saw that smirk.
''I'm afraid I can't casually give out girl's numbers to my stalking buddy here. I was just joking before, but I guess I was right.'' He looked dissapointed.
''W-whatever, I didn't even want to know her phone number.''
''Whatever you say.''
''So, can I take Lenalee if you don't want her?'' I elbowed his stomach again.
''You can't own or take her, and for the question. You can try if you want, but I doubt she will accept you.'' I said monotoned.
''Tch, whatever then.'' We had made it inside the classroom, most of the people were already inside. We sat down on to our seats and waited for the class to start. Lenalee was already sitting there next to me, she had a smirk on her face the entire class. Come on now. You can't be that happy about the date.
October 22nd, time: 14:00PM, location: Dark Heath's Corridor
''Hmm? Where are you two going?'' Lavi asked when he looked at us going outside.
''We're going to go shopping for clothes. I don't have any because of a certain person in Dark Heath Hotel.'' I said a bit sad. Lenalee patted on my back and nodded.
''Ahh, okay. Well I can't sadly come. I got detention for today. So I'll see you two later.'' I could swear I saw a smirk on his face when he turned around. And when I looked back to the Academy I saw how he was looking at us from the front door. He was waving. I've got a bad feeling about this.
''So, where to we go now?'' Lenalee asked when we had walked about 1 mile without talking.
''How about Shiemi District? There should be a new mall there. I think.'' I said and walked towards that direction, she simply nodded. The walk went awkwardly, we didn't talk about anything. Crap, what do I talk about?
''So, how are you liking Black Order?'' She suddenly asks.
''What do you mean? You have been there the same amount of time as I have. You make it seem like you have been there longer than me.'' I said. She just smiled.
''Well, I thought since my brother has been there longer then I should give your opinion to him.''
''Haha.. your brother... what should we tell him?'' I asked worried. He will kill me, definitely.
''How should I know.''
''Whatever... by the way, Lavi wants to ask you out. He said that if I don't want you then he will get you.'' I said casually. Lenalee seemed a bit mad.
''He doesn't own me, and I'll reject him if he does try something.'' She said and smiled at me. I nodded.
October 22nd, time: 15:30PM, location: Shiemi District - Catherine Mall
I leaned in on Lenalee and whispered. ''I get the feeling we're begin watched.. it might just be me, but still...'' Lenalee looked surprised at first, she drank her coffee and then said. ''I wouldn't be surprised if it were my brother, he stalks me a lot. But it can't be him, because if it were, then he would have already intercepted.'' She whispered even more quietly. ''What if it's Lavi? You said he wants to ask me out right?'' She looked worried.
''That would probably explain more than enough.'' I said and laughed at the thought. I think we are in a mess either way...
I got up from my seat and so did Lenalee. ''So where to next?'' She asked.
''Nowhere in particular, let's just roam around. Oh.. let's go to the front of the swimming centre. I have an idea.'' I said.
''Okay.'' She smiled. And we walked outside.
October 22nd, time: 16:00PM, location: Swimming Centre
''Well, here we are.'' I said and smiled.
''So what now?''
''This swimming centre is good and all, but... there is something behind that as well. It's a well, park of some sort I guess. It's beautiful, I think.'' I said hesitantly. What if she doesn't like it. Well I'll see what happens then.
''I'll like it either way.'' She said as if she knew my thoughts. But... the fact that if she likes it, still remains a mistery to me. Because the next moment I heard an explosion behind me. The swimming centre had exploded. I quickly pulled Lenalee away from there and we started to run. I looked back and gasped. Demons. They came from every direction. I saw how multi demons started to come out from the swimming centre.
And as if the situation wasn't already bad, my eye started to hurt again. It wasn't like last time, it was worse. It felt like someone was trying to rip it away from my face. I stopped and fell on my knees holding on to my left side of the face. Crap! Not now. This is an emergency! COME ON! STOP! I thought and stood back up and started to run again, Lenalee right next to me.
''Something going on with your left eye Walker.'' I heard someone say. No way... There's no way he is here. Not now please! This was supposed to be a good day.. I thought and stopped. Lenalee stopped as well. I looked behind and saw Šeri there. Holding what seemed to be another knife.
''Hello Allen.'' He said. ''Now is that a look you give to an old friend.'' He added after I sent a death glare. Once again, I would want to know your definiton on 'friend'.
''Haha. I'm happy to see you too. Now let's get to business. Earl wants you dead and I'm no diffrent, so two birds with one knife. Or whatever the saying goes.'' He said some more stuff, but I couldn't quite hear everything, because explosions happened everywhere now.
''Allen, don't. We need to get out of here.'' Lenalee said and started to pull my sleeve. Lenalee you don't know my grudge against this idiot. If you would, then you would most deifinitely as well want to kick his ass.
''Haha, I'm not mad. I'm happy I could meet you.'' I said. ''Can you tell me Šeri, who are you to Earl? An idiot? A slave? I wouldn't mind either of them. I like you when you would be both though.'' I felt how anger overcame. I have the power to kill you now Šeri. Now just lunge towards me. I can bet you I'll not only dodge but backfire at you with my own 'sword'.. I smirked at those thoughts.
''Shut up.''
''Sorry, no can do. Are you mad at me for telling the truth? Truth hurts.'' I said and started to laugh, Lenalee was still pulling my sleeve.
''Stop Allen, let's go.'' She said and activated her boots, but I didn't pay attention to her.
''Seems like you want me to lunge towards you. Well I wouldn't mind, but I have a more strategic thing on my mind. That's why I'll let the demons kill you.'' He laughed.
I gritted my teeth and activated my innocence and I started to walk towards him. But I stopped when I heard Lenalee yell certain words.
''Allen, I know you're mad. But please, can you please follow me for now. I don't want to lose you.'' She said. I looked at her, she had tears in her eyes. I gasped.
''Sorry. I didn't mean to m-''
''It's okay, let's go.'' She said.
''Ye-'' I couldn't finish my sentence. I felt immense pain and force coming from my left. I was pushed down and something sharp had struck my left side.
''ALLEN!'' I hear Lenalee yell.
I looked at my stomach and saw how a knife was pointing out. What's worse was that Šeri was right there. He had raised his leg and he kicked the knife making it go deeper inside me.
''AAAAAAAAH!'' I yelled. Why am I not losing conciousness? Crap, if this goes on then I'll be killed.
I stopped yelling, activated my innocence and hit Šeri with it. I lunged him away through at least 2 buildings. I coughed up blood and looked around. Lenalee was kneeling next to me her eyes filled with tears.
I looked at her for a bit longer then I felt how someone raised me up and took out the knife from me, making me yell again. I turned my head as much as I could and saw something red. L-Lavi? G-good.
''P-prot...alee...'' I managed to say to him, he nodded and started to walk towards Lenalee. She still had tears in her eyes.
''Come, Lenalee. We have to take Allen away, this place is definitely the worst place to be at the mome-'' He was cut off. I felt how something had lunged towards Lavi as well. He managed to dodge, but I felt how Lavi's grip had weakend and something grabbed me. And the next second I felt how I was thrown through multiple objects. When I stopped then I had no air left in my lungs and I was gasping for air. I rolled myself so I would see the sky not the ground.
''That was quite the hit you did to me there. Though I'm here to sadly announce that, that hit was completely powerless.'' Šeri said. No way... he's still alive. You're kidding right..
''You really shouldn't have taunted me back there. It wasn't nice. And I feel some anger towards that still. But that doesn't matter. Because you have to die here.'' He said smiling.
He had raised his knife and was about to lunge it down, when it looked as if he was kicked hardly. I could hear how he flew through a building, two buildings, three... and so on. I looked around and saw long dark blue hair looking down at me.
''Hello again Allen. It looks like I made it right on time. But Šeri is still not dead. I'm here to defend you for now. So I can't leave your side. Physical damage does nothing to me so don't worry when I get hit.'' Asakura said. And helped me up. I managed to stand. How can I still stand? That's completely impossible. I thought.
''The reason why you can still stand is because of your innocence. It is protecting you. Every time you have gotten hit so far, it takes some of the damage to itself, you feel the whole pain, but it takes some of the damage to itself.'' She explains.
''G.. it..'' Why can't I talk then? I don't feel any pain when I'm talking.
''Your vocal coords were damaged by Šeri.'' She said.
When?
''When the first explosion was.'' I don't even need to talk, she can read my thoughts.. Wait how can you even read them?
''Classified.''
Fine then. Can you help me to Lenalee and Lavi?
''Understood. Remember that if I carry you, then there is a high chane that Šeri will attack you again. Hold on to me as strong as you can please.'' She said and as much as I could see, smiled.
Whatever, for now just carry me there. It's best if we are together instead of seperated.
She didn't say anything and started to carry me on her back, I felt how she bit me.
''Owww! What was that for?!'' ''W-wait, I can talk again.'' ''W-what did you do?'' I asked her. She smiled and said.
''I doubled the healing power of your inner organs. Though unfortunately it only works for the head part. But it will help out just a little bit on the other sides of the body as well. Looks like it completely healed your vocal coords.''
She started to run and within just 20 seconds we got to where they were. I got off of her and managed to stand.
''Yo you two, I'm happy to see Lavi stalking me and Lenalee.'' I said and smiled towards him. What were you even trying to accomplish? I thought and looked at Asakura who just shrugged.
''Now's not the time. You're wounded and we have to get out of here, can you not see those demons everywhere? They are flying to every direction, it's like an apocalypse... We have to be careful on our way back.'' He said and looked up at the sky which was fulled with demons and purple lights... I guess the demons shoot purple things from... wherever they shoot them from...
''Yea.'' I said and started to walk off towards where Dark Heath was.'' I heard Lenalee and Lavi gasp I turned around.
''What?''
''What do you mean what? We saw you get stabbed and hit so many times. How is it that you can still stand and move? Are you like immune to physical damage?'' Lavi asked me shocked. I looked towards Aakura and grinned.
''It must be my innocence, without it I probably would be unconcious or something.''
''Really? I didn't know, well that is good for us. But we really need to start going now, there's a high chance we will get killed.'' Lenalee said and followed me. I whispered to Asakura.
''What is the probability of one of us getting killed?'' She looked dead straight into my eye and whispered.
''The probability of someone dying, is 89.6% as of this moment.''
W-what..? O-one us dying? B-b-basically... 90%? T-that's too much... No way. I resisted to ask who it was, because if I were to ask who would be the one to die then I would try anything to protect that person, leaving the other ones unprotected.
I started to run towards Dark Heath, everyone else following me. I felt horrible pain on my legs and I tripped. I coughed up blood and saw how blood had covered my legs and how a level 0 demon was holding a knife. I gulped and backed away from it, but it kept following me. Luckily Lavi had pulled out his hammer and somehow made it bigger and hit it, making it disappear from our sight.
''A-are you okay Al-chan?'' Lavi asked completely pale.
''Yes.'' I mean I didn't just get stabbed or anything right. Of course I'm not fine you idiot. I thought annoyed, everyone somehow knew what I was thinking though.
''Yea right! I'll carry you for now Al-chan.'' Lavi said and put me on his back and started to run again.
''That's right, you're Asakura right? What are you doing here?'' Lavi asked suddenly.
''I was out shopping for clothes.'' Like hell you were.
''Ahhh, I see. Do you know what we're talking about? Demons, Dark Heath and everything else?'' Lenalee suddenly asked. Hah so Asakura was right about Lenalee starting to doubt it a lot. I looked at Asakura and nodded.
''Everything.'' She said and deflected a bullet that was heading towards us.
''Whoa, did you see that bullet heading towards us? No, more importantly, who was the one who shot it?'' Lavi asked surprised.
''It's a human, the possibilites of it being Šeri is 61%, a possibility for Earl is 32% and a henchman would be 7%.'' Asakura said and deflected another bullet.
''You calculated it right now?'' Lenalee asked.
''There's no time. There's also a possibilty that on-'' I cut her off. There's no need to make them worry you know. I thought.
''That one of us will get severely injured. Well I guess that would be me right? Haha..'' I laughed.
''That's not funny. You could have died you know.'' Lenalee said looking worried.
''But I didn't so... everything's okay.''
She looked at me for a bit longer, but then kept running. But the next second an explosion happened right in front of us, making most of us fall down -the one who didn't was Asakura-. Šeri was walking through the explosion, still holding the same bloody knife. How durable is that thing? But I didn't have time to think about that, because the next second Šeri had lunged towards me. I was able to dodge that luckily, but he still managed to kick me. I coughed up more blood and stood up.
''Asshole, what are you after? My life? Fine then, you can have me. But don't hurt them.'' I said and pointed at Lenalee, Lavi and Asakura.
''I'll gladly take you with me. Because it is indeed you, who we are after. Earl didn't say if we would need you alive or dead. So I'll be taking you back dead. You wouldn't resist as much.'' He said and started to walk towards me. But Asakura came in front of us.
What are you doing? You're going to get killed. I felt how thoughts were coming to my mind, they weren't mine. They were Asakura's, they didn't have a voice, it was like a picture of words had embedded inside my mind.
The probability of you dying is |||| without me helping you at the moment, the probability of me dying or in this case being destroyed is 4%. I have to protect you for now. I'm not going to get killed by Šeri, I can hold him off and there is a 60% possibilty of me being able to destroy him completely. Were Asakura's thoughts.
I felt cold sweat all over my body, A...Is...What..? The... possibility of me.. dying is... 100%? Without you helping me right now? W-wait.. But that's... that's not possible, you... What? B- My own thoughts were cut off by her.
Even now, the possibilty of you escaping alive is 36%. And possibility of those two dying is 78.5% for Bookman and 43.2% for Lee. Without their help your chance of survival will drop by 10%.
I gasped and turned towards Lenalee and Lavi. They had stood up and were running towards me, I raised my hand at them, making them stop. I swallowed and and tried to put up a smile that was as cheerful as possible.
''Sorry, Lenalee, Lavi. I'm. Dead.'' I said and sent a look towards Lavi. He looked at me with unbelieving eyes at first, but then understood. He took Lenalee's hand and started to pull her away.
''W-wait, Lavi! WAIT! WHAT ABOUT ALLEN? ARE YOU AN IDIOT! ONLY IDIOTS ACT LIKE THIS, I KNOW THAT HE WANTED YOU TO DO THIS, BUT STILL HE IS YOUR FRIEND ISN'T HE?! ARE YOU A REAL IDIOT?! S-'' She was cut off by Lavi.
''I KNOW! B-but... we can't do anything now.. h-he has accept-''
''BULLSHIT! THERE'S NO WAY SOMETHING LIKE 'HAS ACCEPTED HIS FATE' EXISTS, THAT ONLY HAPPEN-''
''STOP! I know... we h-have no other choice now.'' Lavi turned around and I could see tears in his eyes. ''I hope we meet again Al-chan. It has been fun so far. Don't worry I won't tell anyone about you and Lenalee.'' He smiled and started to run, Lenalee still yelling. Good.
''Take care of Lenalee. And Lavi, I hope you will have a blast!'' I yelled and turned towards Asakura who was now fighting Šeri.
I hope you know that, now your chances of surviving have significantly lowered. It's best if you start moving now. I'll be able to kill Šeri completely now. He has a 12% chance of surviving. A chance that you will meet Earl i-
I cut off her thoughts. It's okay now. You can do whatever you want, I'm going now. I still have no idea how you know my thoughts or how you can invade them, more off, I don't even know how you can do these calculations. But that doesn't matter for now. I want you to not search for me, I have an idea. Of course you already know of it. Haha... Have a good time Asakura. Bye. I thought and started to move. My legs were still hurting. When I reached out to the forest I saw a final word picture that Asakura had sent me.
Goodbye, Allen Walker.
Haha... I guess I know what this means. Well like Lenalee said, there's no such thing as accepting my fate. But I guess you could call this a sacrifice then. As much as I understand now, I'm the only one who can stop this whole attack from the demons and Earl. So the best thing to do now would be meeting Earl. I laughed a bit and kept walking. Death huh? I wonder how it would feel. I kept walking through the forest, I heard explosions happening around me. I wonder if Lenalee and Lavi will escape. I was at a field now, it was open, noone was there but an old man. He was dressed in a coat and he had a huge grin. He was carrying a pink umbrella.
''Allen Walker.'' He said and laughed a bit. The laugh was full of madness, it would send shivers down your spine no matter how brave you were.
''Millennium Earl I presume. Before you try anything, tell me, what it is you want from me. What is it that you'll get from my death?'' I asked calmly.
''There's no point in giving you hints, IF there's a little tiny chance that you will survive this, then you will know my plans. Though I can answer you what I want from you.'' He kept laughing and had a grin still on.
''Well, what I want from you. Is the innocence of a particular beast. A beast called Crown Clown. There is no need to tell you more.'' He said and grinned wider than he had before.
''C-crown Clown?'' Talk about a name right there. Though seeing as how he wants it. The only logical thing is that it must be powerful or something.
''Yes, of course, you have no idea whatsoever what or who or even where it is. But I know everything except for where it is. But I know that much, that it is related to you.'' He said. Weren't you supposed to not say anything else. Whatever the more time I have the better it is.
And just like he knew what I was thinking he said. ''Well, time is almost up. So I need to kill you now and take the innocence of Crown Clown.'' He had pointed his umbrella towards me and it started to glow. After a while I saw how it started to shoot bullets at me. Though when one bullet grazed me, then it definitely wasn't a normal one. The second it had made contact with my leg, I saw how black stars started to appear throughout my body and I felt humongous pain in my entire body. But the black stars vanished just as quickly as they appeared.
''Hoho, interesting. Seems like your innocence is protecting you from infection.'' Infection?
''Infection?'' I asked curiously.
''No time to blabber, I need to kill you as soon as possible.'' He laughed and said. ''The next bullet will explode in contact so better watch out.'' Why would you say that to an enemy you idiot. I thought and started to move. But I couldn't, my legs were still hurting. MOVE! I'M GOING TO DIE... EITHER WAY...
He shot his bullet, it felt as if time had slowed down again. I looked at the bullet closing in on me really fast. Then... it hit me. And everything went blank.
October 22nd, time: 19:55PM, location: The Woods
Earl's POV, Present View
There we go, finally, Allen Walker has been eliminated from existance. And nothing is in my way of destroying this world's peace and hope. The new problem would be Crown Clown. I know that if I kill Allen Walker, then Crown Clown will then move into another person's body, the best solution would be the one who is the closest person to him when he dies. That would be me. But since I don't feel it in me, then it means someone else. I was looking at the explosion until it finally clears a bit. Haha, good. Allen Walker is on the ground, and not moving. Which means my bullet really did kill him.
I look at the clock on my hand.
''I should probably start going to the meeting I will have with the Noah.'' I mutter and start to walk off. It feels as if someone's looking at me from behind, but who. No... that doesn't matter anymore. What matters is that Allen Walker is dead, and there is no way to ressurect him. I laugh silently and keep walking.
To Be Continued
Author's Note: Now, just to clear things up a bit. No Allen is not dead and the story isn't over. The next chapter will come as always after I have posted another chapter in the other story. Sorry about this chapter being well... being the one it is. But, Crown Clown is needed in this story. Oh right, what do you think...should I keep the present view, if noone says anything then I'll keep it for now. I might change that however. I'm sorry for any mistakes you might find. And well. Thank you for reading and bye.
