Allen was sitting on the throne next to Sennen hearing the peasants grievances.

"Please you must help, dear prince." Peasant said. "The akuma Dead Eye is destroying our homes!"

"That's terrible! We have to do something!" Allen said. "I will tell my mother at once!"

"Now now Allen." Sennen said. "You are the prince. It is your duty to take care of your subjects. You must deal with Dead Eye yourself."

"I-I...can't!" Allen stammered. "I-I'm sorry!"

He ran from the throne room.

Allen entered the woods and fell into a deep dark hole. "Help! Somebody!"

"Well, looks like your in a spot of trouble there mate?" Lavi reached down and helped Allen out. "Now what are you all upset for?"

After hearing the story, Lavi insisted on teaching Allen to aim his weapon.

"Fear of failing shouldn't keep you from trying. Again, this time aim better." Lavi said.

As Allen tried over and over with his weapon, Lavi explained who he was.

"I am Lavi Bookman Jr, the successor to the Bookman Clan, keeper of the records!" Lavi explained. "I'm on my 49th name. I want to become a great Bookman. You can't give up, just like I can't give up!"

"You really think I can do it?" Allen said.

"Completing my first mission almost killed me but it was from failure that I learned to win."

They had reached the village Dead Eye was in.

Allen pointed his weapon at Dead Eye. "Leave the villagers alone, or I'll hit your good eye!"

He aimed, and fired, knocking off his feet and collapsing.

Dead Eye went to attack him, and Lavi struck the ground with his hammer, making Dead Eye collapse.

Allen stood firm. "I'm going to defeat you!"

"CROSS GRAVE!"

He defeated the akuma and the village cheered.
