Allen sat up in the bed he was lying on. He looked around, sniffed the air, stared at his bandages, and then the boy paled at the sight of his left arm, because it wasn't there. "No…" Allen sniffed slightly. Then he noticed a girl, no a machine in the form of a girl, sleeping on a chair against the bed. 'She must have brought me here.' Allen sighed and got out of bed. He had to keep moving, even without his innocence. The whitenette wondered around till he came across a large, colorful door. "That door won't open." Someone in the shadows spoke up.
"Why won't it open?" Allen mumbled.
"It's sealed. Why would you want to leave?" The man asked.
"I have to keep moving forward and I must not just roll over and die. I promised." Allen answered.
"No offence, but how could you do this without your arm?" The man walked out from the shadows.
"I couldn't care less. I swore to fight, to save the akuma, to fight alongside my friends. I swore that to my father! I promised to not let life get to me and die. I promised that to Kanda, a long time ago!" Allen growled.
"Hmm… I understand Allen Walker. Listen your innocence is not dead. Before I told you that I needed to know your heart. I'm Bak Chan, the director around here. Now let's go back, and then we'll talk about getting your arm restored." The blond man smiled softly. Allen returned the smile, and followed Bak back. "How dare you run off? Without even introducing yourself! Geez, even after I dragged your furry ass back here." The machine girl grumbled and yelled at Allen.
"I'm sorry miss." Allen bowed his head.
"*sigh* Allen this is Fo, she's the guardian of the Asia Branch of the Black Order." Bak explained. After this, Allen got into a new set of clothes and then followed Bak, Fo, and old man Wong, into a room filled to the brim in a thin fog. "What is this room?" Allen asked.
"This mist is your innocence. It turned into particles, it's still alive." Bak explained. Then three people walked into the room. "So where is this young exorcist?" The girl in the group asked, adjusting her glasses.
"Oh, hello there miss." Allen smiled to her. Immediately the girl was smitten. "Anyway, if you can manage to form your weapon, you can return to the fight." Bak stated.
"Let's do this." Allen stood in the center of the room, and tried to activate his innocence. When he tried, his innocence would come together and then turn back into particles. He kept trying, again, and again, and again, with no step closer to returning to the battle field. He kept trying till it was hard to breath and the sun began to fall. Allen took a seat and panted tiredly. Bak walked over to check on the whitenette. "You okay?" He asked.
"Just tired, and the moon is rising." Allen muttered as he wolf ears folded up from his hair.
"Some curse, to change into a monster every night." Bak mumbled.
"I'm not a monster. K-Kanda taught me that." Allen scratched at his ears.
"Yu Kanda? How did you meet him?" Bak asked.
"I was eight. The third night I had ever transformed I ran out into the snow, ready to die. When out in the cold, Kanda showed up and we talked. He taught me that I should live for the ones I care for, and that grieving over a loss shouldn't consume me. He was really smart for an eleven year old." Allen rambled on about his past relationship with Kanda.
"Wow, I was never informed of this. To think Kanda met with you when out on a mission." Bak chuckled a little.
"Never mind all this. Let's get back to work!" Allen quickly sat up, accidently slamming his head against Bak's chin. This caused Bak to drop all the papers he was holding. Suddenly, Allen noticed that all the papers were pictures of Lenalee. Bak quickly gathered up all the pictures, and waltzed back. Then the blond man broke out in hives. "Are you okay?" Allen shouted, as Wong rushed over to help the director. Later on, Bak decided on a new way to get Allen to get his weapon back. The whitenette was to fight Fo, in a way to force the innocence to come and protect its attacked accommodator. "I warn you Allen, I'm pretty tough." With that Fo materialized from the sealed door, changed her hands into scythes, and attacked Allen. The whitenette got sent flying into the stone pillar behind him. "Hmph, I'll fight. We can call this 'Operation Cornered Rat.'" Allen chuckled as he spat out some blood from his mouth.
