Yay I've finally got to this chapter! I've been wanting to write it ever since I started Lighting and Time! This was always my favorite part in "D Gray Man". Just so you know, whenever there's (words) it's saying what Lenalee's trying to say, but can't. Please tell me what you think!
Chapter 47- Zombies!- Kanda
I didn't have time to jump back before that clumsy Miranda fell, spilling some strange liquid on Lavi and me.
"I'm so sorry!" She exclaimed.
Suddenly, everything seemed taller. Everyone stared at me, and I groaned.
"What was that?" I asked.
"A shrink potion," Rever muttered. 'It'll wear off in about three days."
"Three days!" Lavi and I yelled.
"Why that long?" Lavi asked.
"Komui made it," Rever said. "I think it was supposed to be used if Lenalee ever got a boyfriend."
I looked at Lenalee, who was blushing. Daisya's eyes were wide, and he slowly backed away from the girl. Obviously, he didn't like the idea of shirking because he was in love with her.
Bookman let out a yelp, and I looked over to see that he too had something spill on him. His gray hair turned into rabbit ears.
There was another thud, and I spun around to see Allen fall to the ground. He sprung to his feet, and I smiled as I realized that his white hair had grown longer. He started to freak out.
Miranda put his hair in a pony tale, while Lavi and I yelled at Rever.
"What do you guys even do in here?" Lavi asked. "It seems like you only goof around!"
"What are going to do about their clothes?" Lenalee asked.
"They can wear some of Bookman's clothes," Marie said. "I think those will fit."
I glared at him, and trudged off. It took Marie, Rever, and Johnny to wrestle me into the old man's clothes.
Lavi and I had to work together to pick every damn box up. It was hard work that took forever. I figured that I could have had twice more work done in a shorter amount of time without breaking a sweat.
During one of our breaks, Allen came over to Lavi and me, smiling. "I'm actually taller than you two! Now do you know why I freak out when you call me short?"
I attacked him. We both hit the ground, throwing punches at each other. I felt my back hit a table, and suddenly, Lenalee yelped.
Allen and I stopped fighting, to see what had happened. Lenalee and Bookman were soaked with liquid. They were glaring at us.
"Are you two all right?" Allen asked, getting to his feet, and running to them.
"Meow!" Lenalee exclaimed. Her amethyst eyes widened, and she clamped her hands over her mouth.
"Meow!" Bookman said, his voice sounding like he was whining.
Somehow, I was able to understand what they were saying. I guessed it was because I turned into a cat before. Lenalee had called us imbeciles, and Bookman had whined about how much he hated the moving process.
"How can we fix this?" Allen asked Rever. "Because Komui's not going to be happy."
"Gramps is really creepy," Lavi said. "But Lenalee's kind of cute like this, so why should we even do anything about it?"
I hit him on the head. "What are you talking about? If Komui finds out about this, then we're all dead!"
"Meow, meow, meow," Lenalee said. (I'll make sure that doesn't happen.)
"Hey, Rever," I said. "Does the shrinking potion allow you to understand cats?"
Rever looked at me, confused. "What are you talking about?"
"Never mind," I said. "I guess I'm just hearing things."
I saw Daisya rolling around the floor, laughing. He was obviously enjoying all of this. He sat up, and looked at me.
"Hi, Shorty," He said.
I gave him my "Shut the hell up" look, and turned my attention back to the others, who were talking.
"Please tell me you don't have anything dangerous in here," Allen said.
"Don't worry,' Rever said. "We don't make anything dangerous and unthinkable."
"This is already unthinkable!" I snapped. I heard Daisya off to the side, laughing harder.
"It's not as dangerous as Komui's stuff,' Johnny said.
"Is any of that stuff here?" Allen asked.
"No!" Johnny exclaimed. "It's all hidden- all the really dangerous stuff is in storage!"
Suddenly, all the lights in the room went off. Everyone stopped what he or she was doing. I glared n Daisya's direction, thinking this was his doing. I couldn't see him, but I figured that he was there.
"Don't blame me!" I heard him exclaim. "I was having to much fun watching all the arguing! Really, do you think I would stop that?"
I saw a ball of light, and suddenly, Daisya was standing in front of me, glowing.
My eyes went wide, and I looked around to see if anyone else saw him, making sure that he wouldn't blow his cover. Only Lenalee was looking.
"No one can see me except for you two," Daisya said. "Well, except for that one time when those who were on the ship when Lenalee was fighting the level three saw me."
Lenalee's mouth opened, but no sound cam out. She glared at Daisya, and started to sign with her hands. "And you're just now telling me this?"
"I didn't think it was important. There have been so many things happening that it slipped my mind."
"Everything slips your mind," I signed. "Shut up, I think Marie might be hearing you."
I watched the older exorcists, as his head swerved around, trying to find a source of sound. I hoped that it wasn't Daisya, because I knew that I wouldn't' be able to make Marie believe in ghosts.
Someone started to laugh. It didn't sound female, or male, young or old. The hairs on the back of neck stood on edge as I recognized the voice of the ghost I saw all those years back when I had turned into a cat for the second time and got locked in Arisa's room.
"A g-ghost?" Miranda asked, completely freaking out.
"No way," Lavi and Allen said.
"It's probably a joke that Komui's playing on us," I said, trying to calm Lenalee down. I could feel her anxiety and fear skyrocketing. She hated the dark, especially when there were strange voices everywhere.
"I can't tell where the voice is coming from," Marie said.
"It's defiantly Komui!" One of the scientists yelled. All the idiots from the science department started to yell.
Marie snapped, "Be quiet! I hear something else."
Everyone went quiet. I heard the door creak open slowly. The laugher increased.
Because Daisya was glowing really brightly, I saw the head nurse standing in the doorway. However, she was acting strange. I didn't know why, but something about her was different.
"Head nurse?" Allen asked.
"How do you know it's her?" I asked.
"I have good night vision because of my training," Allen said.
The head nurse reached out for the white haired kid, and bit his arm. People pulled her back, and Rever shoved Allen out of the way.
"Why did she bite you?" Lavi asked.
"Did you not get released from the infirmary, Beansprout?" I asked.
"I did!" Allen exclaimed.
"But she doesn't normally bite people unless they don't follow her instruction!" I snapped. I remembered the only time she ever bit someone was when Daisya was messing around in the infirmary while Lenalee was hurt. He knocked over a cabinet, and when the head nurse tried to kick him out, he wouldn't go. She bit him, and he ran away. He'd always been afraid of her since that moment.
I looked at the glowing ghost boy next to me. He was shrinking away, muttering. "Not good. She's not good. She's very bad."
I'd never seen him act like this. It was almost as if he was possessed. I didn't have time to ask him what was going on, because the head nurse suddenly bit Miranda on the neck. Miranda jumped back, and the scientists held the nurse back. They were all yelling at her to calm down, but it didn't work. She just bit them too.
"Are you all right, Miranda?" Marie asked.
"That startled me," Miranda said.
"She's not good!" Daisya yelled. I looked at him. He was rocking back and forth on the ground. "They're gone. They'll all be gone soon."
I looked at Lenalee, who had worry written all over her face. She was slightly shaking as she signed. "What's wrong, Daisya?"
"It's her fault," Daisya said. "She did this. She let that creature out! Soon they'll all be gone." He started to laugh like a mad man.
Lenalee let out a little cat squeak, and I looked over to see Miranda leaning into Marie. The older exorcist was blushing, and he looked scared.
"Meow?" Lenalee asked. (What's going on?)
Marie's headphones started to spark, and everyone yelled.
"Oi, you all right?" I asked. Marie's hand wrapped round my writs, and he lifted me up.
"What are you doing?" I asked. I looked at him, and noticed that he was drooling, and he had these black veins sticking out on his face. "Marie…?" I trailed off as I noticed people coming in from the doorway. They all looked like zombies.
I kicked Marie in the chin. He let me go, and I fell to the ground, next to Daisya who was on the verge of crying.
I felt someone wrap their arms around my neck, and was about to flip them, when I realized that it was Lenalee. Bookman was holding onto her. We shot into the air before all the zombie people attacked us.
"Meow!" Lenalee yelled. (I'm so confused!)
There was a light from below, and everyone went flying. I saw Allen with his innocence activated. We landed, and Lenalee let me go.
"I'm sorry!" Allen yelled. "I tried not to make hurt much!"
Lavi tugged on the kid's white cloak. "Let's get out of here!"
We all ran off- Rever, Johnny, a random scientist whose name I didn't know, Bookman Lavi, Allen Bookman, Lenalee, Link, Timcampy, and I. I noticed Daisya running with us, still freaking out about whatever he was freaking out about.
We all ran into a little closet with a window on one end. Lenalee, Rever, Johnny, and the random scientist all fell to a sitting position against a cabinet. Lenalee looked freaked, and I remembered that she had a terrible case of claustrophobia.
At that moment, Daisya seemed to snap out of his trance. He kneeled next to Lenalee, and grabbed her hand. "It's going to be all right," He said. "Just think of a story, Boo."
I was grateful that he was still somewhat sane, because I did not have time, nor the energy to calm her down. Plus, I wasn't about to show my feelings to the others.
Allen. Lavi and I all looked out the window as a hoard of people ran past.
"What the hell's with them?" I asked.
"There's so many of them!" Allen exclaimed.
"Not to mention that they're really fast!" Lavi said.
We all put our back against the wall, and slid down into a sitting position.
"Be careful," I heard Komui say. "If they bite you, you'll get infected, and become one of them."
"Infected?" I asked.
"How do you know that?" Allen asked.
"Because I created the virus," Komui said.
We were all quiet. Suddenly, the vibe in the room turned from scared to mad.
"GET HIM!" Rever yelled. All of us except for Link and Lenalee attacked the curly haired idiot.
Something wrapped around all of us, and that's when I realized that Komui had brought a robot friend with him.
"I see what you think of me!" Komui snapped. "Komurin EX, fire!"
"Yes, Sir," The robot said. It loaded a giant gun that looked like t would shoot chains.
"You already fired!" I yelled.
Lenalee and Link were both looking at us with worry and confusion on their faces. Daisya was shaking his head.
"You should know not to attack him," Daisya muttered. "He has armies of robots waiting for commands."
"Meow meow meow meow!" Lenalee yelled. (Let them go, Brother!)
"Meow?" Komui asked.
The robot's arm turned into another giant gun, and it was aimed at us.
"What sort of game did you involve Lenalee in?" Komui asked.
"This isn't our fault!" Rever yelled. "There's a complicated explanation!"
"More impotently, what's this infection you're talking about?" Johnny asked.
"Yeah," We all agreed.
I should be asking you that," Komui said. "You're the ones who took it and hid it from me.
Everyone looked confused. "Huh?" We all asked.
"Sorry, I don't know what you're talking about. There's been many things we've hid from you," Rever said.
"Do you remember when we were working late a bunch of night in a row?"
"We've done that many times," Rever said.
"It was right after Arisa's death," Komui said.
At this, I felt guilt well up inside of me. Daisya and Lenalee looked upset. I wanted to hit Komui for his poor choice of words, but with the chains around me, I couldn't.
"Oh!" Rever said. "Komuvitamin D! I remember that thing! It was supposed to erase any tiredness so you could work, but instead, it also whipped out all reason. We call it the Stupid Overtime Zombie Virus."
"We need to stop the virus," Komui said. "Somewhere in this giant building, is a small little vial that contains the only thing that can cure them! Gentlemen, and my sweet Lenalee, we have to find that little vial so we can presume moving!"
Everyone grew angry, but none of protested.
Outside, I was stormy. Inside, there was a giant army of zombified Order members thanks to our idiot supervisor. The only ones who weren't zombies were five exorcists who all had a potion spilled on them, and were all angry, three weak scientists, one member of the guard group known as CROW, one robot that could go insane at any moment, one ghost boy who kept going into a possessed trance whenever he saw the zombies, one little golden golem, and the idiot who created the damn virus.
I saw that Link was writing something in a little notebook. The robot walked over to him, and ate the notebook. It said, "Evidence destroyed!"
Daisya smiled, but then went back into his freak out mode. He was seriously starting to worry me, and I could tell that Lenalee was ready to cry and yell at him.
"How are we supposed to find the cure?" I asked.
"I don't know," Komui said. "Does anyone have a sixth sense? Or you exorcists can use your instincts to find it."
"Only Daisya could fins stuff with his instincts!" I snapped. "Plus, I'm trying to fight my instincts which are telling me to throw you to the zombies, Komui!"
Komui started to pout. "You're not nice, Kanda. I don't want Lenalee hanging out with such a meany head."
I clenched my fists, and stomped away from the supervisor. I walked over to Lenalee, and I saw Komui stick his tongue out at me.
Allen looked worried; and Johnny was talking to him, trying to cheer him up. I had forgotten that the nurse had bitten the Beansprout. Was he turning into a zombie?
"Can I just throw them all over?" I asked Lenalee. "We're getting no where with this!"
"Meow," Lenalee sighed. (Unfortunately, no.) "Meow meow meow?" (Do you know what's wrong with Daisya?)
"No," I said. I looked at our friend. Daisya's eyes were wide, and I turned to see that he was staring at a little girl standing next to Allen and Johnny. It took me a minute to realize that it was the figure from all those years back. This time, however, I could clearly see that it was a girl. The girl said, "Do you really think that you'll be okay? It's time for bad kids to die!"
I didn't have time to yell at Johnny and Allen to get out of the way before the window we they were next to exploded. Allen, however, activated his innocence, and dodged General Socalo's attack. The generals jumped back, and I realized with much horror, that he was only wearing a towel around his waist.
"Even the general got infected?" Lavi yelled. "Crap!"
"Ow!" Link yelled. I looked around to see that General Tiedol had bitten Link.
"Oh," The General said, his voice raspy. 'I thought you were Yuu."
The words made my stomach churn. Link looked lifeless, and when I looked to my left, so did Bookman who was hanging form General Klaud's grasp.
Link fell to the ground, muttering, "It's my job… to report the supervisor… for this mess."
"I wonder if a good whack on the head will make him forget," Komui said, grabbing a hammer from his coat. Rever held Komui back.
"Meow!" Lenalee yelled. "Meow!" (Brother, don't!)
All the generals, Link, and Bookman faced us, ready to attack.
"Hey, did you guys finish the repairs on Mugen?" I asked.
"Yeah, but it's still in the lab," Rever said.
"Damn," I muttered.
"I stopped by there when I was escaping with Komurin!" Komui exclaimed.
"Did you get Mugen?" I asked,
Komui's smile faltered, and he said, "I wanted to get it, but the place was full of zombies, so I didn't go in."
I hit him on the head. "You idiot! We need out weapons!"
I went flying forwards as something behind me exploded.
"Do something, Komurin EX!" Komui yelled.
"Roger," The robot said. It started to shoot missiles at the zombie generals. However, the missiles hit the ground next to Allen, and they exploded. Everyone went flying in different directions. I landed next to Lavi, Allen, Johnny, and the robot.
Lavi and I started to drag Allen who was unconscious.
"He's heavy for such a small kid," Lavi muttered.
We entered a storage room, followed by Johnny and the Robot. The robot went over to a corner, and started to sob- if robots could sob. I locked the door, and we all sat down.
Allen screamed, and woke up. Lavi and I clapped our hands over his mouth, and said, "Shh!"
"Where are we?" Allen asked.
"In a storage room," Lavi said. "You were out cold, and we had to drag you in here."
"Where are the others?" Allen asked.
"We all got separated during the explosion," I said. "It's just the five of us right now."
"Five? Who's the fifth?"
We all pointed to the robot, who was saying, "I couldn't save my master. I'm just an ordinary man."
Someone started to knock, and we all ran to the other end of the room.
"Allen," A voice said. "Lavi… It's me…"
"Is that Krory?" Lavi asked.
"Krory, is that you?" Allen asked.
"Yes, it's me," Krory said. "Open the door…"
"It's good that he woke up," Lavi said. "But I doubt he's human. I've got a bad feeling about this."
"Bad feelings have a habit of being right," I muttered.
"He might be infected," The robot said. "It would be dangerous to open the door."
Allen, Lavi and I looked at each other, then at the robot. We started to push it towards the door.
"What are you doing?" The robot asked.
"Go open the door," We all said.
"No!" It yelled. "That's a terrible idea! If this were one of the horror books that Daisya read to Lenalee when hey were kids, then we'll all be dead as soon as we open the door!"
"This isn't a horror book!" I snapped. "JUST OPEN THE DOOR!"
"We don't like to ask this of you, Ex," Allen said.
"NO!" The robot wailed. "I won't do it!"
"Listen to me, Ex!" Allen yelled.
"NO!"
"Now that we're separated from the others, Johnny's the only one who might be able to find the vile," Allen said. "The only ones left here are you, me, and a couple of worthless brats."
I wanted to hit him for that, but I resisted the urge.
"You're the only one I can rely on!" Allen said.
"I'm the only on…" The robot seemed to consider this.
"Will you do it?" Allen asked.
"Yes!" The robot yelled. It went over to the door. "I'm opening the door! Come at us if you dare!"
It opened the door, and a hand ripped through the robot's chest. The robot fell to the ground.
"You should have opened the door sooner," Krory said. "Now I'm mad, kiddos." He walked into the room. He was wrapped in chains, and he used the chains to attack.
We all jumped away from the chains. Lavi and I attacked Krory, but he just grabbed out heads, and whacked them together, I fell to the ground in pain.
I felt someone grab my arm, and the wind suddenly started o rush past. When I came to my senses, I realized that it was the robot that had grabbed me.
I hit its hand, and it dropped me. I started to run, and realized that we had a crazy vampire guy, three generals, and a scary monster monkey chasing us.
"What the hell do we do?" Allen asked.
"We need to get out of here!" I yelled back. "Follow me; I know a way out!"
I rounded the corner, and came to a halt. There was a giant group of zombies in front of us. I looked backwards to see that the group that had been chasing us had stopped. We were surrounded.
