Chapter 8: The Black Order Annihilation Incident

In the Science Division

"Hehe, it's finally done." Komui says proudly.

"Supervisor, what's that unnecessarily bulky robot?" Reever asks.

"I just told you, it's Komlin." Komui answers.

"Nii-san… Komlin…" Lenalee calls and Komlin's eyes flashes.


~Later~
Underground water path

Allen and Alice just got back from their last mission as they got out of the gondola and Allen is stretching.

"We got back pretty late~" Allen says as he stretches.

"The storm delayed our train…" Toma says.

"It's already midnight…" Alice notes as she rubs her eyes. "What do we do with the Innocence we retrieved?"

"If you go to the Science Division, there should be someone still awake." Toma answers.

"Okay, we'll try there." Allen says.

Allen, Alice, and Toma start to make their way upstairs from the water path when something collapses on the stairs in front of Allen. It was Lenalee unconscious.

"Wha–?" Allen asks. "LE–LENALEE!? WHAT HAPPENED!?"

"Both of you are back…" It was Reever, he is bruised and slightly bloody.

"REEVER!?" Allen hands Lenalee to Alice and goes toward Reever.

"R-run." Reever says. "Komlin is coming…"

"What?"

Then the walls ahead of them are destroyed as a large robot, Komlin, bursts out, staring at them. Allen and Alice are wide-eyes at robot.

It's here!" Reever shouts.

"OH MY, OH MY!" Allen shouts. "WH–WHAT IS THAT?"

"Damn… he's so fast!"

"…Located!" Komlin says as it locks on Allen, Lenalee, and Alice. " Lenalee Lee. Alice Lakefield. Allen Walker. Three Exorcists located."

"Run, Allen! Alice!" Reever warns them. "THIS THIS IS AFTER EXORCISTS!"

IT'S TIME FOR SURGERY–!"

Lenalee is on Allen's back, he flees with Reever, Alice, and Toma.

"WA―H, IT'S FOLLOWING US, IT'S FOLLOWING US!" Allen screams. "REEVER, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON!?"

"That thing is Komlin, an omnipotent robot that Komui made…" Reever answers. "As you can see, it's out of control!"

"WHY!?"


~30 minutes ago~
In the Science Division

"Should I change jobs?" Scientist A says.

"If I can't sleep at all, I'd rather not wake up at all." Tapp says.

"I can't finish…" Johnny says. "I think I won't be able to finish for the rest of my life…"

"Don't give up, it'll all be over someday…" Reever tells them.

Lenalee enters and brings some coffee for everyone. "Anyone want coffee?" She asks which everyone raises their hands. As Lenalee hands the coffee out to everyone, Komui comes in with a proud voice.

"He–y. Is everyone awake–?" He asks. "Look, look!" Behind Komui is Komlin. "Taddaa! Our savior, 'Komlin II'!"

"Supervisor, what's that unnecessarily bulky robot?" Reever asks.

"I just told you, it's Komlin. I just finish building it. He has my brain and personality 100% copied. He's an Innocence-Made omnipotent robot! He can not only decrypt files, but has surgical and care support for Anti-Akuma Weaponry." He explains. "IT'S ANOTHER ME! NOW IT WILL MAKE OUR WORK EASIER–!"

Everyone runs toward Komui and hugs him. "SUPERVISOR~~~"

"I know, I know, I'm so great."

While everyone is appreciating Komui's robot, Komlin grabs Komui's coffee that Lenalee made for him and starts to drink it.

"Um… That's nii-san's coffee…" She says and watches it drinking. "Hey Nii-san, is Komlin allowed to drink coffee?"

"What are you saying, Lenalee? Although I said its 100% like me, Komlin is a robot. Of course it can't drink coffee…" Komui answers and everyone goes silent as he continues to laugh.

"It drank it…?" Someone questions.

Komlin suddenly crackles and then gives Lenalee an anesthetic. She lost conscious.

"LENALEE!" Komui calls and runs over to her.

"I… AM… KOM… LIN… I MAKE EXORCIST STRONGER… THAT WOMAN… IS… AN EXORCIST. THEREFORE, I MUST PERFORM SURGERY AND MAKE HER MACHO." Komlin says.

Everyone's eyes widens in shock as they imagines Lenalee macho.

"WHA—T!?" Komlin then makes an explosion in the room.

"AH—!" Someone screams.

"UG—!" Someone grunts.

"KOMLIN—!" Komui screams.


~Present~
Underground water path

"And that's the story." Reever explains. Everyone's face grimaces. "Sorry it's such a lame story."

"How stupid..." Allen, Alice, and Toma thought.

Allen looks at Lenalee – who is on his back unconscious and asks, "Is Lenalee going to be okay?"

'She's an Exorcist too, huh…' He thought.

"She's only sleeping because Komlin hit her with anesthetics." Reever says. "Ha… maybe this all happened because we all wanted our work to be easier..."

"Huh?" Allen asks.

Reever faces Allen, Alice, and Toma. "You Exorcists and Finders are out there facing life threatening situations, sorry about that. Welcome back."

Allen eyes widens remembering about Mana.

"Welcome back, Allen."

'Mana…' Allen thought as everyone but him climbs up the stairs.

Allen?" Alice calls noticing that he is not following them.

"Huh… ah, yes!" Allen replies.

"Hey, what's the hold up? Do your injuries still hurt?" Reever asks.

"No, I'm fine." Allen replies. "I'm… I'm back." He smiles.

"Hey–," someone calls. It was the scientist from the Science Division as they are on the Elevated platform. "ARE YOU ALIVE–!?"

"Supervisor! Everyone!" Allen calls.

"SQUAD LEADER! HURRY OVER HERE!" Johnny shouts from the platform.

"OH, ALLEN, ALICE, AND TOMA ARE BACK TOO. GET OVER HERE…" Scientist A says.

"LENALEE! ARE YOU STILL SLIM!?" Komui screams desperately.

"Calm down, everyone…" Reever says.

Then Komlin suddenly appears out of nowhere as it almost crush them.

"IT'S HERE!" Allen screams.

Johnny turns on the platform's cannon and prepares to fire at the robot. "Don't underestimate the Science Group!" He declares, aiming for Komlin.

Behind him, the group of Scientist all raises their hands and shout, "SHOO—T!"

Komui quickly wraps his arms around Johnny's eyes. "DON'T SHOOT MY KOMLIN!" He begs causing Johnny to spin the platform and the bullets are firing everywhere.

"A—H!" Allen, Alice, Toma, and Reever scream while dodging the bullets

Once the platform runs out of ammo, all the Scientist group members are trying to get Komui.

"WHAT ARE THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!?" Reever shouts at them angrily.

"There was a traitor…" Toma mumbles.

The Science Division ties Komui up and forces him to walk on the cannon in front of Komlin.

"Komlin…" Komui calls teary. "Allen's Anti-Akuma Weapon is damaged. Go fix it." He orders. "Also Alice might still have injuries."

"What?" Allen and Alice say dumbfound.

"Dam... age? Injur... ies?" Komlin repeats. "Order placed! Allen Walker, due to damage, is now placed first priority. Alice Lakefield, due to damage, is now place first priority." Komlin grabs Allen's and Alice's ankles and starts dragging them towards it, at the same time, Allen passes Lenalee to Reever.

"AH!" Allen screams.

"KYA!" Alice screams.

"ALLEN! ALICE!" Reever shouts, holding Lenalee in his arms.

"Taking Allen into the surgery room." Komlin says.

"AH–, WHAT IS THAT ENTRANCE!?" Allen screams terrifies.

"NOW! SQUAD LEADER REEVER! WHILE KOMLIN IS TAKING THE BAIT, BRING LENALEE OVER HERE!" Komui orders.

"HOW EVIL CAN YOU GET!?" Reever shouts back.

"Surgery, surgery," Komlin sings. "When in doubt… surgery." Inside of the surgery room, you can see little Komui's with different tools.

"UHG." Allen grunts.

"Innocence, activate!" Allen thought and Cross cannon appears.

"OOH, A NEW ANTI-AKUMA WEAPON." Reever says amaze.

Suddenly, before Allen could shoot, he deactivates Cross and looks weaker.

"Aiya… ya… paralyzed…" Allen didn't move.

"Allen!" Alice calls.

"ALLEN!" Reever shouts.

"WALKER!" Toma calls.

"SUPERVISOR!" Reever shouts.

The Scientist Group starts grabbing Komui and his blow pipe. Allen and Alice are now being drag into Komlin's surgery room.

"Re… Reeverrr!" Allen manages to call. "Take Lenalee and run afay pweez…"

"Allen." Reever says.

"Furry." The door closes but Reever manages to grab Allen's And Alice's coats. Toma bangs the door.

"The capture of Allen Walker and Alice Lakefield is complete." Komlin announces.

"ALLEN! ALICE!" Reever shouts.

Komlin suddenly gets up and knocks Toma off, but Reever holds on tight.

"WHA–" Reever screams. "DAMN IT, LENALEE IS NEXT!"

"Exorcist Lenalee Lee. Surgery time." Komlin says.

"NO! ANYTHING BUT MACHO~!" Komui screams. "WAKE UP, LENALEE!"

Komlin attacks the balcony where Lenalee was placed and Komui screams.

"AHHH—!" Komui screams. "LENALEE! LENALEE! MY LENALEE!"

"SUPERVISOR YOU'RE GOING TO FALL!" shouts the group of scientists.

Johnny then spots something and points towards it. "S–SUPERVISOR, THAT!" He shouts and everyone looks at the tip of the cannon on the elevated platform. "There…"

On top of the cannon stands Lenalee.

"LENALEE~!" Komui calls happily.

"I heard Allen's and Alice's voices…" Lenalee speaks when Komlin starts to boot up its system. "Are they back…?" She asks as she activates her Innocence, Dark Boots.

'Innocence Activate!' Lenalee thought.

"SURGERY FOR EXORCISTS!" Komlin shouts as it charges at Lenalee.

She dodges Komlin and the scientist screams as the Komlin hits into the elevated platform. Lenalee lands on the rails of the elevated platform.

"LENALEE! ALLEN AND ALICE ARE INSIDE HERE!" Reever shouts as he holds on tight to Allen's and Alice's coat.

Komlin then pulls the tip of the cannon down as it fall.

W–WE'RE GONNA FALL!" Scientist A shouts.

"RAISE THE POWER OUTPUT!" Scientist B commanded.

"IT'S ALREADY FULL!" Scientist C shouts.

"Capture Lenalee!" Komlin said as it targets her.

"Lenalee!" Komui calls as Lenalee jumps off the rail.

Lenalee then attacks, landing a blow on its face. Komlin starts firing at Lenalee, but couldn't land a scratch on her.

"Heh, idiot." Reever says with a smile. "With Lenalee's Innocence activated, you can't catch her… She whirls through the open sky like a butterfly. The destructive power of steel and iron falls to the ground. That is Lenalee's Anti-Akuma Weapon, 'Dark Boots'."

Lenalee lands a devastating blow on Komlin, shaving off half of its body.

"YES…!" Reever shouts.

He looks in and sees Allen and Alice who is unconscious. Allen is bandaged with Timcanpy on his head and Alice is bandaged on her arms.

"ALLEN! ALICE! ARE YOU ALL RIGHT?" Reever says.

"Somewhat…" Allen replies and then he went unconscious.

"YEAH LENALEE! DESTROY IT!" The scientist all cheer. "SHE'S SO COOL!"

Everyone on the science group starts to chant, "Destroy it!" Lenalee lands on top on the cannon and walks toward it, but Komui stands in front of her. Reever manages to get Allen and Alice out, but he's hanging onto the machine desperately.

"WAIT LENALEE!" Komui says. "Komlin is not evil! The coffee is evil!"

"You…" Reever mumbles as he climbs on the cannon.

"Woah, Supervisor." Scientist A says.

"When did he get there?" Scientist B asks.

"Hate the crime, not the person. Hate the coffee, not Komlin, Lenalee." Komui begs.

"Nii-san…" Lenalee calls, but then she kicks him off. "Be ashamed of yourself for a little while."

"We're speechless…" The group of scientists says surprised at Lenalee's answer.


~Later~
In the Library

Lenalee is tending to Allen and Alice. Lenalee has place a towel on Alice and she is about to put a towel on Allen.

"…hn…" Allen says stirring as Lenalee sets the towel on Allen.

Allen suddenly sits up and Lenalee jolts.

"Whoa! That was a surprise." Lenalee says.

"Lenalee…" Allen says as he stares at Lenalee. She sits on a chair in front of where Allen was lying.

"Sorry about my brother's invention…"

"Where am I?"

"It's the library. Everyone has gone to repair this place. Hear the sound?"

Alice opens her eyes and sits up while holding the towel. Lenalee and Allen look at her.

"Alice, are you feeling better?" Lenalee asks.

"…Yeah… thanks." Alice answers and she walks over to sit next to Allen.

"This was in your coat." Lenalee hands Allen the shard of Innocence they collected from Lala.

"AH, THE INNOCENCE!" Allen says remembering and takes the Innocence before checking it. "I'm glad it isn't broken…"

"Take it to Hevlaska's place. She'll protect it." Lenalee instructs. "Welcome back, Allen. Alice."

"I… I'm back…" Allen says as he blushes a little.

"I'm back." Alice says.

"HEY! WHY DO I, THE CHEF, HAVE TO DO CARPENTRY!?" Jerry shouts.

"We don't have enough people." Scientist A says.

"YOU GUYS AREN'T GOING TO GET ANY BREAKFAST!"

The staff of the Black Order came in to check Allen and Alice.

"Oh! Allen and Alice are awake!" Reever says.

"What happened during the night, Allen? This place is trashed." Jerry asks Allen.

"WHAT!?" Allen screams.

Everyone laughs happily and so did Allen.

"Welcome back, Allen. Alice." Everyone greets.

On an elevator platform; In front of Hevlaska

Allen and Alice go to see Hevlaska. A bandaged Komui goes with them.

"Welcome back, Allen Walker. Alice Lakefield." Hevlaska greets them.

"We're back." Allen says.

"Long time no see… Timcanpy. Last night… was troublesome… because of Komui…"

"AHAHA! Stop it, Hevla." Komui says.

"The… Innocence…" Hevlaska says.

Allen holds the shard of Innocence up and it goes through the glass of the container.

"Hmmmm!? It just went through!?" Allen thought.

"When the Innocence compatible person in unknown, I protect it until the generals return…" Hevlaska explains as the Innocence flies to her.

"Including Cross, there are five generals. After they finish their missions, they also find the unknown Innocence's compatible person." Komui adds.

"I see…" Alice says.

As the shard of Innocence arrives above her, under her appeared a large complex heptagon within a circle. Alice and Allen look over the railings.

"Wow!" Allen says amaze.

"That's the inside of Hevla. There are 109 slots for the Innocence imprinted there."

"Innocence, sleep inside of me… for a little while…" The shard of Innocence enters Hevlaska's body. "Until the day you meet your compatible person… and become a weapon…" The shard goes into a slot. "This is the 41st Innocence we've retrieved… there are still many more Innocence in this world…"
