Aside from the beeping of the machines and the steady breathing of the occupants, the operating room was completely silent. Komui worked quickly and efficiently, while the other nurses held his equipment and handled other such duties. They worked in almost absolute silence, all well aware of how carefully they must handle this operation.

Allen Walker lay on the operation table, motionless. He had been put into a deep sleep, and for good reason, since Komui Lee was currently in the process of sawing his head apart.

Komui lifted the scalpel and began to cut. As he widened the cut, one of the nurses' eyes went wide. She backed away, slowly, fearfully. Then, with a ear-piercing scream, she fled the operating room.

"Mandy!" the Head Nurse called out, taking a single step toward the door and the fleeing nurse.

"Control yourself!" Komui barked sharply. He turned slightly to glare at the Head Nurse. She hesitated for a moment, then returned to her position. Komui focused on Allen once again. Before long, every single person in the operating room (other than Allen. Duh.) could see what had caused Mandy the nurse to flee in such terror.

Allen Walker's head was a gray pulpy thing, its colour not unlike his eyes. The horrifying thing was that, in the middle of his head, was one pulsing eyeball. Several nurses turned away to retch right on the spot. The Head Nurse and Komui both controlled themselves, although both also looked slightly green in the face.

"What is this?" The Head Nurse asked, in horror and fascination.

"An eyeball. In the middle of his head." Komui answered promptly.

The Head Nurse glared at Komui, annoyed, "I can see that for myself. But…how?" She was confused. What had caused this never-heard-of miracle?

"It's been a documented possibility." Komui replied, staring down at the eyeball, which twitched and looked at them. "It's said that in many pregnant mothers, there are actually two fetuses instead of one, but often only one is born. That's because the stronger, surviving fetus devours or absorbs its little twin."

"You're telling me Allen Walker is a cannibal?" The Head Nurse questioned, a hint of hysteria in her voice.

Komui shrugged. He paused, taking a scalpel and preparing to poke at the eye, but it blinked and glared at him, causing him to jerk back, startled. Then he continued, "What I want to know is how in the world this eyeball came to be. The remains of the devoured fetus-if there were any- should have existed at a molecular level. It shouldn't have developed into an eyeball. And it doesn't explain Allen's personality transformations at all."

The duo, and the other nurses who had recovered themselves, stared at the eyeball in silence.

Then, all of a sudden, people in other parts of the Order began to scream.

Wisely sighed as he followed after Tyki, saying, "We were told to reconnoiter, not launch an assault on the Black Order."

Tyki gave his brother a cocky grin, replying, "This way works just fine too.

Wisely would have slapped his forehead in exasperation, except for the fact that it would have hurt his eye.

"Stop right there, Noah!"

Lavi and Kanda stood in front of Tyki and Wisely, their Innocences ready for battle. Lenalee, Krory and Miranda were right behind them, and both Noahs had a feeling that more Exorcists were coming.

Tyki put both his hands up in an attempt to calm the Exorcists and said in a slightly soothing tone, "Okay people, relax. We just want to know where Allen Walker is. Can you just tell us that?"

Kanda sneered, "Why would we tell you that? So you can kidnap him? You're not getting anything but a trashing, Noah!"

Wisely sighed, rubbing his temples, "I told you this was a bad idea, Tyki."

Tyki glared at his companion, "You could help me instead of just moaning and complaining!"

Wisely shrugged. He stood motionless for a moment, then he answered, "Allen Walker's in an operating room. They're operating on him because…" His voice trailed off as his brows furrowed. Then he stared at the Exorcists and asked questioningly, "He transforms? What does that mean?"

The Exorcists just glared at him, their lips pressed firmly into thin lines.

Wisely sighed, throwing his hands up in a gesture of surrender, "Fine, fine, whatever. You deal with them, Tyki. I'll go hunt for our missing brother."

"He's not your brother!" Lenalee said sharply, before she could stop herself. Wisely merely smiled at her before striding away from the Exorcists.

"Hey!" Lavi protested. He moved forward to attack Wisely, but found his way blocked by Tyki. Tyki grinned at Lavi, lifting both hands into the air. The ground started to rumble. Then thick, thorny vines shot out of Tyki's hands, smashing into Lavi and throwing him back. Tyki dropped his hands to his sides and laughed, "Who's next?"

Wisely, in his human form, was able to walk past many of the Black Order personnel without being detected. Many of them were running about in panic that a Noah had infiltrated the Order, and he could hear the sounds of fighting coming from behind him. But his job was to find Allen Walker, so he tuned out everything else, focusing on getting to the 'operating room' in Lenalee Lee's thoughts.

Before long, Wisely found himself standing in the corridor outside the operating room, which was completely deserted. His lips curved upwards into a smirk. That had been easy enough. Holding out one hand, he reached for the door, and pushed.

Komui looked up, startled, as the door swung open. He stared at Wisely in confusion and demanded, "Who are you? What are you doing here? What's going on outside?"

Wisely slowly strode into the operating room, taking his time. He looked at the eye in Allen's forehead, clearly fascinated. Then he chuckled, "Well well. He looks a little like me now, doesn't he?" Wisely reached up to his turban and began to unwrap it, slowly and deliberately. Komui's eyes widened when he saw the three extra eyes in Wisely's forehead, and he croaked, "You…you're that Noah."

Wisely smiled gently, as his skin turned gray, "That's right. My name is Wisely. And now you shall step aside and let me take Allen Walker away."

Komui's mouth went awfully dry. He hesitated, staring down at the youth, not knowing what to do.

Wisely frowned suddenly, "Or maybe you should stitch him up first. Yes, go ahead and do it now."

Komui was motionless.

"Go on!" Wisely's voice was a snarl as he glared at Komui.

His body stiff and unwilling, Komui began the process of stitching Allen up.

Wisely watched and waited patiently for Komui to finish. The other nurses had slowly backed away from Wisely, gathering at the corner of the room as they stared fearfully at Wisely. Then, all of a sudden, Wisely's eyes went wide. He looked at Allen, confused and stunned. In his astonishment, he exclaimed out loud, "That boy has two consciousnesses in his mind!"
