Well here we are with chapter three. I never thought I would make it this far to tell you the truth. Disclaimer: I do not own D. Gray Man; all rights go to Katsura Hoshino.
The boy who was once known as Allen Walker sat next to the spectral wolf patting its' ethereal head. There was a sudden knock on the door, and Allen looked around. The door opened, and there stood Bookman. Allen could not keep himself from wondering how Lavi would take the news that they had betrayed, The Black Order.
"Lord Musician," said Bookman, "I have come to report that Lavi has begrudgingly accepted the truth that we no longer serve, The Black Order." "Please call me Allen Walker," the gray haired boy responded, "I have grown fond of that name actually." "Very well," Bookman sighed, "What is our next objective?" "We find the accommodators to the pieces of innocence I have just recreated," Allen replied, "At the same time we must obtain the other pieces before the Earl or The Black order find them." "What do you mean by recreated innocence?" asked Bookman. "You mean you didn't know?" replied Allen, "Because I was the only member of the Noah family that did not betray God, I have the ability to rematerialize the particles of Innocence. To tell you the truth a piece of Innocence can never be permanently destroyed so long as the Heart of Innocence remains." "I see, well how many pieces did we obtain?" asked Bookman. "I would say that we should have at least twenty accommodators joining us in the near future," the gray haired boy laughed.
Allen stood up and walked out of the room. Bookman looked at him and shrugged. Bookman knew that it would be a tragic mistake if he followed the boy right now. Oddly enough, the wolf decided to follow Allen to wherever he was going. Bookman noticed that Allen did not mind the fact that the wolf was accompanying him; in fact he seemed to enjoy the wolf's company. Bookman was convinced that Allen and the wolf had a telepathic bond between them.
The boy and the wolf walked up to a door, and opened it. On the other side was the main gate of the central headquarters of, The Black Order. The two slowly walked to the side making sure not to draw attention. From a window, a golden golem flew towards the boy. It was the same one he talked with before, Timcampy. Allen held out his hand to flying object.
"Hello Timcampy," Allen whispered, "Did you receive the information I needed?" The golem shook its' body to indicate that it did the task that was required of it. "Alright, now we can head back to the Ark and plan our strategy," the gray haired boy said. With that, the three of them disappeared into the mist of the cold night.
Lenalee was lying down on her bead. She could not get to sleep, all that had transpired the previous night was just too much for her to bear. Not only did Allen become a Noah, but Bookman and Lavi were working for the fourteenth the entire time. Her world was falling apart at the seams, and there was nothing that could be done to stop it. It was at this moment she heard a strange sound. It was the sound of someone chanting. She tried to stand up and locate the source, but she was overcome by a sudden drowsiness. It was a surprise to her that she was unable to sleep, but now was not capable of staying awake.
In her sleep, the girl had a strange dream. In her dream she saw a city, and there was a group of people attacking it. She could not hear the words that the citizens or the attackers said. The roar of the fires that were devouring the town drowned out all noise. As the dream continued, she saw that the invaders were much larger than the townspeople. In fact, compared to the citizens they were giants. The giants were capable of breaking walls with only their bare hands, and whenever one of the city guards jabbed them with a spear they did not seem to notice. It was as if the giants were unable to die. Amidst the destruction, Lenalee heard a voice calling her.
She awoke to find her brother, Komui sitting next to her bed. The way he sat with his face right next to her own frightened Lenalee so much that she jumped out of her bed and screamed.
"Jeez brother what are you doing?!" she shouted. "I was just checking up on my darling little sister," Komui explained, "I wanted to know if you were alright ever since Lavi and Bookman betrayed us." "I'm fine so please stop sneaking into my room while I'm asleep!" Lenalee sighed. "But your older brother is so worried about you!" Komui cried in a childish manner.
Lenalee sighed, and headed to the mess hall. She could not help but wonder about that dream she had last night. It was so vivid, and was it trying to tell her something? That would be silly, because communication through dreams is impossible. Then again, she was wielding a divine weapon that was used to kill demonic weaponry created by a fiend calling himself, The Earl of Millennium. That in itself is very unlikely.
Dusk fell over the compound several hours later. Even though the central headquarters of, The Black Order was kept a secret, nobody could relax. The Earl had the ability to deploy his machinations just about anywhere on the planet. There was always that feeling in the back of everyone's head that tomorrow would be their last day. This made the night a very quiet time, because it was the time when everyone reflected on that possibility. The silence itself created a gloomy atmosphere that enveloped the headquarters. Hiding in the shadows of silence, three figures approached the gates.
"I had left Timcampy here to observe the guard posts, and when the shifts end," explained one figure, "In just a few seconds there will be a change of guards." "What does that mean?" asked a second figure. "When they are changing even one guard," explained the first, "The tight knit security falls apart briefly, and that is when we enter." "So while we are inspecting General Cross' room what are you doing?" asked the second figure. "I am going to find Hevlaska," the first replied.
As he finished talking, Allen turned around to enter the gate. Lavi and Bookman followed soon after. They managed to make it past the guards, and into the residential hall. Allen and Timcampy broke off from Lavi and Bookman. Lavi and Bookman entered the room that supposedly belonged to General Cross. They almost fell back as the scent of strong liquor mixed with tobacco smoke and some vomit filled their lungs. What had Cross been doing before he disappeared? They proceeded to rummage through the rooms. There had to have been something that the order missed when they looked through the place.
"Hey panda I found something!" Lavi said. "What is that?" the old man asked. "It looks like a diary," responded the young man, "But look here there are a few letters that are underlined on this page." "Is it that way on every page?" asked Bookman. "No it's just this one," muttered Lavi.
Meanwhile, Allen made his way to the chamber that Hevlaska was in. He was walking down a dark tunnel that had water dripping from the ceiling. There were several adjoining corridors, but none of them looked like they lead to the right room. Allen had little time left to find the room before he would be found by the guards. A sigh of relief came over him as he found a large set of double doors. He put his hand over the knob and opened it. He slowly walked into the chamber of Hevlaska.
"Who is there?" asked a disembodied voice. "So you are the guardian of the cube," Allen responded to the voice. "Yes I am who are you?" the voice asked again. "I am Allen Walker," the boy chuckled, "I am also the fourteenth child of Noah." "One of our Exorcists has joined the Earl?" the voice asked. "I may be a member of the Clan of Noah," Allen replied, "But I am not on the same side as the Earl. I come seeking the pieces of Innocence you have." "I would never betray the order!" the voice snapped. "Maybe you would never betray them," Allen sighed, "But they have definitely betrayed you Hevlaska." "What are you saying?" the voice of Hevlaska asked in horror. "Did you not here about the Third Exorcist project?" Allen inquired, "They are turning humans into Akuma hybrids!"
The conversation went on, and Allen described the horrors of the blasphemies that the order had committed. Hevlaska was in denial at first, but she began believe what this boy was telling her. She believed it because she remembered the time the order tried to force her little brother into becoming an Exorcist when he was not chosen by the Innocence. If the order was willing to do that to such a little boy, then they would not be above turning people into the same monsters they were trying to destroy.
The order had fallen down a dark path, and she could no longer stand to see it. A large serpentine spirit emerged from the gaping hole in the ground. At the same time, a giant gate appeared in the ceiling of the room. Carrying the Innocence in her body, Hevlaska flew towards the gate and vanished inside of it. Shortly after Hevlaska left, there was a loud explosion heard outside! Allen turned around in shock. He knew what was going on, and he had to gather up Bookman and Lavi fast!
