A month had passed since he disappeared, and everyone began to expect the worst. They had hoped that he had been saved by some kind person, a Good Samaritan, but the possibility began to run dry. The Black Order decided to leave him for dead. All except for a select few…
Those that were closest to him did not want to give up. In their hearts, they wanted to continue waiting. However, they also knew they had a duty. There's was a duty that could not be overlooked. For they were to protect this world from a great destruction that was prophesied since the days of the Old Testament! That was the purpose of the Black Order.
"You do realize it is pointless don't you?" asked a young man to the group around him. "Are you saying we should give up like the others Kanda?!" shouted the one across from him. "I'm not asking you to do anything," Kanda replied, "I'm telling you." "You can be really callous sometimes Yu," laughed the one beside Kanda.
Kanda glared at the one who had called him Yu. This man was named Lavi, and he had long red hair. His right eye was covered with an eye patch. Kanda stood up and walked away. He clearly was not in the mood to try and dissuade the others from clinging to hope; no matter how much it was obvious that he was never coming back!
"I just want to know if he's alright," said a girl with black hair across from Lavi. "Hey come on now," laughed Lavi, "This isn't the first time this has happened, right?" "I know," the girl responded as she began to feel better. "You do remember that the time you speak of was a miracle, right Lavi?" an old man to Lavi's right asked. "Hey, don't say that in front of everybody else Panda!" Lavi shouted.
The old man was called Bookman, and he earned the nickname Panda because of the black rings around his eyes. The girl began to cry, but she did not want the others to see it. She walked back to her room so as to have some time alone to sort out her feelings.
In a dark alley a strange figure stalked the streets. He had a mask over his face that was of the Mardi Gras fashion. A white cowl covered his body, and made him look like a jester of sorts. His left arm was black and the hand was a claw with daggers for fingers. A white cross was on the back of this claw. He was heading towards a church that had a graveyard behind it. He walked up to a grave with a headstone marked, Mana Walker.
"It has been a long time Older Brother," he whispered, "Or I should say my older brother from a past life." "How many years has it been since that time?" he began to wonder, "How long until this will all end?"
As he stood there, a strange object flew up to him. It was a golden orb with a cross on the front, the wings of a bird, a long tail, and two miniature horns. It was a golem that was made to serve somebody. Who that somebody was is now forgotten.
"Hello Timcampy," said the figure. "Have you missed me?" he asked the golem. "I'm sorry but I still need you to do something for me," he told the golem, "Something important that I cannot do in my current position."
With the golem flew away. It seemed to know exactly what the figure asked of it. So it went to fulfill that request that had been required. What that request was, nobody but those two knew.
"Well today I have a mission for you," a man in a white coat said to Lavi, Bookman, and the girl. "Where to this time Big Brother?" the girl asked. "I'm glad you asked that question my dear little sister," the man in white laughed. "Can you please tone down the sister complex?" Lavi asked, "It is becoming a little creepy now." "What sister complex?" the man asked. "Never mind," Lavi sighed. "Well anyway," the man in white coughed, "This mission is to the Quantoc Hills in England!" "Why there of all places Komui," asked Lavi. "Ever heard the story of the Gurt Dog?" the man in white known as Komui responded, "It is a legend that the hills are protected by the spirit of a hound, and that hound spirit might be some form of parasitic innocence." "So when do we set off?" asked Bookman. "Since we still have use of the Ark," Komui thought, "You should get their today as soon as you're ready!"
With that, the group packed their things together and regrouped at the entrance of the Ark. The Ark was an ancient artifact that had the ability to create gaps within space so as to make a gateway to another place within the Ark. In short, it made travel from country to country, and continent to continent, quicker! The trio took very little time to prepare themselves. After all, they only needed their Innocence just in case. The Innocence were objects even older then the Ark. They were holy weapons supposedly created by God to fight demons. Only a select few people could use one. This was due to the fact that each Innocence chose who would wield it. This in turn fueled the belief that God had created them.
When they finally made it to their destination, they began to look around. It was most likely that the thing they were looking for would not be found until nightfall. So they decided to wait on the search, and look for the nearest town. It would be easier to find out more about the Gurt Dog from a local anyway. Not that anything they say would really help them out.
As the stars began to fill the sky once more, the exorcists of the, Black Order, knew it was time to hunt for the hound that haunted the area. They made sure not to use their Innocence, because that would draw too much attention. It was very inconvenient, because they could help with combing the hills. However, they made do with what they could. It was only a few hours until they spotted something in the distance.
It was only half a mile away, and the light from the moon and the stars seemed to reveal two figures. One was in the form of a wolf, and the other was a boy. Judging by his height, he could not be older than fifteen years. He was very slender, and seemed to be petting the canine creature beside him. Lavi and the girl with black hair charged straight at them! When they were close enough to interact with the boy, they stood in shock. It was their friend who had disappeared a month before!
"Bookman Jr." said the boy, "You have grown since the last time I saw you." "Quit fooling around Allen," Lavi said, "It hasn't been that long!" "Allen?" the boy asked, "Who is that?" "That's not funny Allen!" the girl with black hair shouted, "Everyone has been worried sick about you!" "Are you talking about the boy I use to be before I…" the boy who was no longer Allen said, "started to remember?" "Remember what?!" shouted Lavi. "Don't tell me you have become…" the girl with black hair gasped. "I am and always have been a member of the Clan of Noah," Allen replied.
There was a long Drawn out pause. The girl and Lavi were both speechless.
"Does that mean you're going to fight us?" asked Lavi. "That depends," muttered the boy with gray hair. "Depends on what?!" cried the girl with black hair. "Will you be willing to make both the Earl and the world itself your enemies?" replied Allen, "I know I have friends within the clan of Bookman." "Lenalee," Lavi said to the girl with black hair, "It seems any hint of Allen Walker is gone forever." It was at this moment that Bookman caught up and knocked out Lavi and said, "Sorry for the wait but I had to catch up in this old body." "Really," Allen chuckled, "I cannot imagine you succumbing to the weakness of old age." "Shall we go?" asked Bookman carrying his apprentice on his shoulders. "Yes and we have another companion," Allen replied looking at the wolf. "It seems the ability of this Innocence gives the user a spectral form that will never age," he observed, "Of course this is only a side effect."
With that the gate to the Ark opened up; Allen, the wolf, and Bookman carrying his apprentice proceeded to step in. Lenalee activated her Innocence at that moment. She was going to take back her friend, and possibly kill the empty husk of one she had lost. Allen saw her feet equipped with iron boots about to kick him. He simply dodged, grabbed her ankle, and turned around to throw her in the opposite direction with her own force.
"I am afraid you are not welcome here," he said to her, "For no one loyal to the Black Order is permitted access on the Ark anymore!"
With that, the old man carrying his servant, the boy with gray hair, and the wolf stepped inside the Ark, and the gate disappeared. When Lenalee looked again, she had lost many more pieces of her world, a world made up of memories, and those close to her. They were now her enemies.
