I cleaned up this entire chapter. Starting next Sunday updates will come out every Sunday. And you should seriously get caught up with the story if you're not.
Everyone went stunned. Something was very wrong with Allen. Mana was more than just some person who helped Allen; he was practically Allen's dad so why doesn't Allen remember his death?
"Allen d- do you remember us?" Miranda asked in a hoarse voice. She had hardly been able to sleep, even less than usual, since Allen had left. The head nurse had even given her sedatives since she wouldn't believe Miranda's non-sleeping program was normal.
Krory started running toward Allen, wailing. "Krory don't!" Marie said as he grabbed Krory. "He may have become Neah!" "Bu-but Allen-," Krory was cut off by Komui. "Capture him!" he shouted.
It all happened lightning fast. As the Order approached Allen, Kanda and Johnny ran towards Allen and Johnny threw down smoke bombs and was dragged away, along with Kanda and Cross, into the gate that Allen opened. By the time the smoke had cleared Allen was gone and in the place of where he stood was a small bag.
Reever walked up to it and opened it. Inside was a letter and innocence. He read the letter, "I quit, later."
"Who would've thought he'd join the 'bean sprout'," Timothy said with a weak smile "Damn it!" Reever shouted and he punched the wall.
Allen played a few keys on the piano in the arc and closed all of the gates he left open for the order to use. Johnny and Kanda were standing in the room waiting for Allen to explain. Cross sat on the couch swirling wine cup in the same circular motion he always does (he has a secret stash of wine in the arc).
"You guys aren't going to ask if I turned into Neah?" Allen said. Cross smirked, "You're even stupider than I thought bakadeshi (idiot student)." Allen gave him a weak smile.
Kanda glided smoothly across the room and grabbed Allen's left hand. "What happened to your innocence?" He asked pulling down Allen's sleeve. "Eh?" Johnny said, "His innocence is gone!? But how? He was a parasitic type it's not possible unless you remove his arm but his arm looks completely normal and-." "SHUT UP JOHNNY!" Allen and Kanda shouted in unison cutting Johnny off from his super-fast blabbering panic. Allen and Kanda stared at each other with electricity passing between them. Before they could fight Cross threw his cup between Allen and Kanda, smashing it against the wall.
"Shishou, what was that for?" Allen whined. "You're too damn noisy!" He shouted. "You didn't have to throw the cup!" Allen said. Cross ignored him and stood up. "So what's the plan?" He asked. Allen sighed. "There's something I want to try," He said walking over to the shattered glass. He picked up a piece and opened up his right hand. He cut his palm, deep enough to make him bleed but not enough to reach his veins. He put his hand out and allowed the blood to drip to the floor. At the sight of Allen cutting himself Johnny had passed out. "Ahhh it hurts," Allen said in a monotone voice.
His blood began to glitter and crystalize. It rose and grew, doubling over itself. It formed the shape of a human and quickly grew flesh, bones, and skin. It was a young girl with black hair and wearing striped stockings. Allen stared at her with a look of slight disgust. "I knew it," He said.
"Allen you found me!" Road said as she gave Allen a huge hug, knocking him to the ground. "Please let go of me," he said. Kanda and Johnny stood by staring at him with extreme confusion.
"Hmph," Cross said, "You guys disgust me." "Is there something wrong with true love?" Road asked. "Allen stepped away from her, "Road please stop it." "So why do we need her? You DID have a reason for bringing her here right?" Kanda asked in his venomous tone.
"Yeah," Allen said, "Road, where are Lavi and Bookman?" "Sorry, that's confidential," she said. Allen grabbed her and kissed her. "Now where are they? And what happened to Chaoji?" He asked again.
"We took Lavi and Bookman on the Dad's orders. Dad got mad and made Fiadora infect him. Chaoji was infected with Fiadora's parasites and is probably at the order."
Johnny, who had regained consciousness and seen the kiss was sitting there wide-eyed. "Wa-whats going on?" he asked swaying slightly.
"Ah, Allen what happened to your innocence?" Road asked. "Apocryphos caught me and took it," he said, "But I destroyed him, and destroying my innocence with it." "So that's what happened," Johnny said.
"Why did your dad capture them?" Allen asked. "He's overprotective. If he found out that I disappeared after protecting you then your friends are probably dead by now." "Then we have to hurry," he said.
"What's the plan," Kanda asked. "First, Road go home and make sure your dad doesn't kill them. You can tell him whatever you want just make sure my friends stay alive."
"Does that mean you're going back to the order or the Noah," Cross asked. "You said it yourself," Allen said grinning, "There aren't always two sides to a war."
