A/N: Hello again~ Man, you wouldn't believe it, but I was writing this and suddenly got so off topic. I made the last chapter a dream and a whole bunch of other shit happened. All in all, I was on pot stickers (they are SO tasty) and I ended up having to re-write it. Oh well, it's all good know and I know what to do from here... At least for the most part...

Thanks to: knux33, Junoan, Mistress Dementra, dark-Yuuki-sama, addenzafor reviewing. And also thanks to readers and those who were to lazy to review~

Note: For Allen's body questions I received, they will be answered in the story later but I wish to clarefy know. Allen's eyes are pale green due to the innocence infecting his body; innocence is seen as green and since Allen's eyes are silver/grey they can easily be covered by another colour. Allen's arm, in his normal form (human) is still attached, it's just expanded across his back/chest and left cheek; sort of like veins/ivy. When invoked, Allen's entire body is surrounded by a liquid gone solid armour, since it still follows the characterises of being a full-body innocence. As shown in this chapter, Allen's human body is separated from his mind; his body floating almost lifelessly in the liquid while his mind controls his new 'body'. Hope that clears everything up and again, this WILL be described in greater detail later on in the story.

Chapter 6: E-M-O-T-I-O-N-L-E-S-S

The hall was in a silent wonder of the creature that towered over them. It's small beady eyes seemed to blink almost curiously at them, almost like a child's. Crown Beast tilted it's massive head to the side, a question-like look on it's face.

"Allen..." The beast turned towards the black haired girl who had spoken it's human name.

"Allen Walker, please return to normal." The inspector said, with a slightly broken voice at being beside such a monstrosity. It bent it's upper body to better see the inspector. Nodding slowly, the beast suddenly broke into liquid and reformed the boy that everyone knew and loved. Said boy turned back to look at the audience, his eye's still cold and emotionless. But Lavi believed he saw a spark of that childish curiosity.

Though his face showed no emotion, Allen still gobbled whatever they placed in front of him. Jerry went into cooking overdrive to feed that starved child. It was also his own way of showing his worry.

Lavi sat beside that boy eating his own supper as guilt tore at his heart. He had missed his chance. The way the boy acted and reacted proved that he no longer responded to emotions as he use too. The bookman, who had been assigned by the true one to watch for any further developments wanted to bash his head against the table. And so he did.

"I'll give you three seconds to stop doing that rabbit." Kanda hissed out from the other side of the table. The man had actually been assigned as an extra watch by the very order, this new form being much more... terrifying.

Lavipouted at he looked up at the other, his head still resting on the table. "But doesn't it frustrate you? Seeing Allen like this." His one green eye glanced towards the boy who know tarred a poor chicken apart. Literally. And all with a straight face too... If Lavi wasn't so worried, he would think that Allen would make one of the scariest 'bad' guys out there. I mean, who could eat a real chicken without even flinching! Not him for sure.

Kandaglanced at his new charge, his mind filled with confusing thoughts. Why had his innocence evolved and why was it so much more different than Lenalee's evolution was one of the tops questions that was on everyone's mind and no matter how hard he tried, Kanda couldn't get rid of it. This new Allen was just too different. He showed no worry, no care, nothing. It was as if someone tore everything that made up the child and didn't bother putting it back together.

"Is something wrong?" It was the first word he had spoken since he had become like this and Laviwidened his eyes with hope. Kanda's eyes were large as well, almost as big as Lavi's.

"What?"

"I asked if something was wrong." His voice was monotonous, not even holding any sarcasm like it should have.

"Why do you ask?" Kanda hissed, not liking the way those pale eyes bore into him.

Allen raised one gloved hand and pointed at Kanda's sword. "Mugen is unsettled." Laviblinked along with Kanda as they tried to figure out what he just said. Mugen was, feeling something? Kanda glance down at his blade and slowly brought it out placing it on the table but not letting go.

"You're saying this thing is unsettled." Allen nodded, ignoring the tone of Kanda's voice and the way he addressed Mugen.

"That's right." Kandaglared at him, trying to find more information in that blank face of his. But his attempts where futile as he was met with nothing but silence.

"Che." Kanda said, pulling Mugenback. Something was totally fucking with that kid's mind. Mugen just didn't go and feel something. It was a sword, a weapon, for goodness sakes!

"Humans... sure are weird." Allen said with a slit upper twitch of the lips, going back to eating.

"Huh? What do you mean Bean Sprout?" But the teen had already settled back into his own silence, not even giving the red head a seconds glance.

Allen glared lifelessly at the rolling hills of grass as the train honked once more. Inside his compartment was the ever present Link, Lavi and Kanda. Bringing up his left hand, the teen tapped the glass, listening to the unheard echo's that only his ears could pick up. Mugenwas giving off a pleasurable hum as it relaxed with it's owner while Ōzuchi Kozuchi (1) seemed to be bubbling with excitement.

Tapping the glass again, the teen let his eyes travel to the third member of their rag-tag group. The man was far beyond serious and possessed no from of innocence. However, Allen could sense strong power radiating off of his being and thought it best to group him as useful rather than useless.

Standing up abruptly, Allen walked in a graceful rush tot he door. Grabbing onto the handle he was about to open it when Lavi laid his hand over the the gloved one.

"Where are you going?" Allen turned, his monocle showing.

"Akuma." He stated turning back to open the door and walk down the halls in hurried pace. The others turned to look at each other before deciding to follow the boy quickly.

Allen's pace didn't slow as he felt the presence of the others, nor did it speed up. He did not care who tagged along, all he knew was that there were things that he was to do and that was it. He was a weapon, nothing more; and as a weapon he was to do what he was meant to do, and that was to kill akuma.

The train began it to slow but Allen still did not stop, rather his speed increased. In some twist of fate everyone but him seemed to struggle with invisible pull that came with any vehicle stopping. One of the many train attendants opened the door and Allen was the first to come out, not caring if he had to pushing women and children to get there. The only thing that was on his mind was the soul that he could know clearly see.

The others soon caught up with him, Lavi looking crossly at Allen. The real Allen would never have just shoved past a group of people like he had just done. It was rude and uncalled for. Kanda to felt a flicker of hatred at this new teen. He was supposed to be the cold one, and know, he felt so much more emptier than he had before. Allen, Allen just wasn't supposed to be like this.

Link was recording as much as he could in his mind for later. In truth, if the evolution to Devil type changed the owner this much, than he wasn't sure if he wanted anyone else to evolve.

He could see it, and it could see him. The two were in a silent battle as they glared at each other, the fist human emotion to cross the teen's face. Placing his hand to his chest, Allen looked crossly at the black shadow that laid it's hand gently on his own. A small stream of foggy memories flowed through him as he saw the figure, something in his mind calling out to him more so than the others.

The shadow shook his head and began to walk through the crowded station, Allen soon following. He felt compelled to follow this stranger. This man probably knew what was best for the humans, the teen having forgot about their fragility.

The four where in a clearing know, emerald green grass bending withthe wind. The other three watched with slight anxious feeling as they watched the humans that had followed them. Undoubtedly akuma.

Turning to face his opponents, Allen once more placed his hand to his chest, reading himself to awaken his other form. Before he could however, he saw the floating shadow beside him, a grin that he felt should be there gone.

"Don't loose yourself, Allen." And as he said that, Allen felt his body explode as the strange fluid that made up his new innocence surround him, forming Crown Beast.

Link watched in horrid amazement as Allen tore through the akuma without hesitation and without care. This Crown Beast could never be compared to the other innocence's. In sheer brutality to rose even above Winters Zokalo, literally covered in the blood of the akuma that seemed to come from no where.

Kanda and Lavi stayed beside Link watching in morbid horror as another akuma fell to the ground, gurgling as it's own blood filled it's now slashed lungs. The flying akumadropped and the grounded where smashed. The way he moved was like that of a terrifying black river that promised all a painful death. He was able to stretch and bend his body, containing no skeleton structure. Allen didn't even have to move from his spot as he attacked over and over again.

A large cloud of level three akuma dropped down from the sky towards the massive enemy's back. However, Allen just bent a tad forward and large spike, much like th one's on his head grew and all but shot out against them, causing several of them to crumble to dust and exploded right away.

Crowned Beast was nothing like Crown Clown. Where there was once elegance there was now brutality. Where there was hope was now destruction. This knew weapon was not Allen and would never be like him. It was just to revolting and to different.

The battle seemed singled sided before Allen began to slow in his movements. He felt no fatigue, but rather confusion as words and pictures filled his mind. The akumahe slaughtered where replaced with pictures of humans. The green turned red fields where nothing more than burning fields and somehow the more he killed the more he felt like he was drowning. He wanted to call out, to scream for help, but he could, his voice box refusing to work.

Lavi! Kanda!Allen knew they where there as he felt himself wither as he fought against the images, his new body shotting spikes out every which way. He called out over and over in his mind. Mugen and Ōzuchi Kozuchiwere calling back to him, trying to keep him calm with their worried but soft hums.

The 14th slowly appeared inside the black liquid that was Allen, the boys human body curling painfully into itself as it tried to get rid of the pain. Wrapping his arms around the small body, the Noah slowly pulled Allen back from disfigured dreams and memories of The End. He felt Allen go limp in his arms and slowly descended as the innocence stabilized itself enough to hold it's owner on it's own once again.

The dark shadow reverted back to it's white counter part as it wrapped itself snuggly around it's owner as the other let go. Allen could faintly feel the 14th petting him affectionately as the three innocence's calmed his worried and lulled him to sleep.

Lavi rushed forward to the still body of Allen Walker, the akuma having disappeared long ago.

"Allen! ALLEN!" He called, falling to his knees as soon as he was beside the boy. "Allen, are you alright? Allen?!" Kanda and Link were not to far behind, worry creasing their features at the sudden turn of events.

Just minutes ago, everything was going smoothly, than Crown Beast seemed to suddenly go out of control, it's fluid jagging out in random area's as it appeared to be in great pain. Than, the black faded to grey and than white as it slowly became that of Crown Clown again before disappearing all together as Allen collapsed onto the stained ground.

Link checked the boy's pulse, breathing and temperature.

"It's alright. He only has a slight fever due to the long fight but he should be fine." Lavi sighed in relief and Kanda seemed to relax a little as well.

"Well, what do you think happened?" Lavi asked as he sat the unconscious body up.

"What do you mean."

"Well Two-Spot, I doubt that thatwas intentional." Link glared at the nickname, helping set the boy onto Kanda's back.

"At this moment I am unsure. However I believe it might be because Walker has yet to get a firm grip on his new form." Lavi hummed softly before shaking his head.

"I don't think that's it. They seem pretty connected. I think it might be something else. What about you, Yu?"

Glaring Kanda just Che-ed as he shifted Allen's dead weight to get a better grip.

"It you ask me..." He started as the other'sfollowed. "It might have something to do with the Noah."

"Oh, how so?" Lavi asked as he too thought about it.

"Che. Well, the two are supposed to be enemies right? It seems only natural." Lavicontinued thinking, Link joining his thoughts with his own as Kanda zoned out of their discussion.

A dark shadow followed beside the samurai, slightly displeased as being viewed as an enemy.

Allen opened his eyes slowly as he sat up, wincing as he lungs contracted causing himself to begin a coughing fit. Rubbing his throat, he glanced around for a glass of water and was grateful to find one by his bed side.

Downing it in one gulp, the teen set the cup down and leaned back, his body protesting any form of movement. Transforming took a lot of energy and that strange panic attack didn't exactly help him either.

Pushing himself further back, Allen tried to get his lungs to open up properly. It hurt, oh god did it hurt. With out knowing it, Allen curled into himself, silent sobs racking his body. He didn't know what was going on, why he was feeingone second and wasn't another. Why his innocence had both it's Parasitic and Devil form. Nothing seemed to make sense.

He gazed across the room to the wall, wishing for once that a mirror was there. However, he knew that he was to weak to do anything at the moment, so he opted for staying in the bed.

His stomach growled, demanding food but still he sat their, staring blankly at the wall as he felt himself enter that strange, unchanging state where nothing mattered but destroying the akuma. He tapped his left arm, a wave of pain shooting through causing him to gasp and breath heavy for several seconds. It hurt.

Allen heard a soft knock at the door and waited for it to open, not trusting his voice. Kandasoon came in witha small tray of food. However, he was not greeted with a smiling or scowling Allen like he usually was, but one of indifference. He tried not to show his slowly shattering hope as he placed the food in front of the boy and sat down.

Allen glanced at the food before eating slower than normal, his throat hurting. Kanda noticed that very slight pain that reflected deeply in those cursed eyes.

"What's wrong?" He asked, trying to sound like his normal self. But, just the way Allen was, how different he was. It felt like their only ball of hope had been replaced by that of nothing. And worse of all, Kanda knew he wasn't the only one beginning to falter in the other's presence.

Allen could hear Mugen'sworried hum along with it's masters words. He blankly wondered why the innocence's suddenly had feelings and sounds.

"Kanda?" The man nodded to show that he was listening. Allen voice held slight emotion. Even though it was barely there, Kanda could tell what it was, it spoke volumes. It was sadness. "Why do humans help me?"

Kanda snorted. "What kind of question is that?"

Allen gave a small, weak laugh along with a soft smile. Emotions. He wondered when they started to choice when to come and go.

"Humans really are weird."

"Che." Kanda turned away from him.

"I mean, why should they help a weapon?" And he wondered, when he started seeing himself as nothing more than a tool.
