Chapter 15: Alter-ego
(A/N: Hey guyz~! I'm back again~! What is this? The third chapter in a week? Your strangest author is getting better at fucking up writers block! Yay~! I'm awesome to about 6 people~! Come on guys! Vote on my poll already! I'll give you a cookie and a death that we all wish~! If I don't get 10 people to vote {currently have 7 people who have voted!} then I won't make the Kenny/Lenalee chapter! You don't know what that is but let me just say you'll love it if you hate Lenalee~ {Which means its worth voting!} ^_^
Done while listening to TFS Hellsing Abridged, Mirai Nikki Abridged, Nightcore- Children of Darkness, and my dog scratching at a plastic bag.
Warning! This chapter gets weird. Involving psychopaths, hyper children, and quiet sadists. Can't say I didn't warn you. On to the crap!)
Allen slowly started to open his eyes as he awoke. The first thing he noticed was the searing pain in his left arm. He sat up and looked at his arm and was shocked to see it pitch black with a green cross on the back of his hand. Only by chance had he realized his shirt was off. He had noticed as his eyes traced the darkness of his arm and saw the pattern around his shoulder which looked akin to kunai.
He moved his right hand over to his his left arm and touched the glowing green crystal. He pulled his right hand away immediately as his left arm burnt his right causing him to let out a pained gasp.
The gasp caught the attention of a nurse and Lavi, who was on guard watching over Allen. The nurse walked up to the "room", which was just a bed with drapes all around hiding the patient, and pushed open the cloth only to see Allen sitting up. She turned around and nodded to Lavi. Lavi walked out of the room to inform Komui about Allen's awakening.
"Are you in pain sir?" The nurse asked Allen.
"A little... What happened to my arm?" Allen asked lifting his left arm up.
"We found out you were an accomadator and the Innocence bonded with your body." Lavi said as he walked into the "room". (Do those things actually have names or are they just called rooms?)
"But... How is that even possible!? I'm a Noah! Wouldn't my body have repelled the Innocence?" Allen questioned in shock.
"Actually you had many fits within the past week. You nearly died because of one." Bookman said as he walked in.
"Who are you? And what do you mean a week?" Allen asked.
"I have no name. I am known as Bookman and you've been unconscious for the past week."
"WHAT!?" Allen yelled. "There is no way I was out for that long!"
"I understand you are shocked but it's the truth." Bookman said. "You fell unconscious right after you gained your Innocence."
"Quit lying to me! There is no possible way Innocence could have merged with me!" Allen exclaimed as he let his feet fall off the warm bed and touch the cold ground and stood.
"Sit back down Jerediah!" a voice called from behind Allen.
Allen turned around and saw Leviller who had a smug grin on his ugly face.
"Why are you always here when I wake up? Also, how do you know that name?" Allen asked.
"Thank your little friend." Leviller said with a smirk and nodded his head towards Lavi.
Allen glared at Lavi. "You dumb ass! Do you realize how many lives are at risk now!?" Allen yelled with a hint of a British accent.
Lavi just stayed quiet and looked away.
"What are you talking about?" Komui asked as he walked up to the group.
"The Millennium Earl will do anything to find out I'm alive! That includes killing every last one of you! At the moment you at least know a basis of who I am. That's enough for the Earl to come after you personally and threaten to kill you just for the little that you know."
"We already risk our lives everyday... I apologize but which name you you rather go by?" Bookman asked.
"My name is Allen Walker. His name is Jerediah Holting. Don't get us confused. Jerediah is far too annoying." Allen said as he sat back on the bed, crossing his arms in front of his chest ignoring the pain.
"What do you mean?" Komui asked.
Allen closed his eyes. His hair changed from white to brown, as it grew longer and was somehow pulled into a pony tail which loosely fell between his shoulder blades, and his scar fading away, along with the black on his arm from his Innocence, as his body grew smaller. Allen opened his eyes and they were now brown instead of silver.
"Hi!" Allen said with a higher pitch voice. "My name's Jerediah! Jerediah Holting to be exact! Who are you?"
"A-Allen?" Lavi questioned in shock.
Jerediah looked over at Lavi with child-like, innocence-filled eyes. "No. I'm Jerediah. Are you and Allen friends?"
"K-kinda..." Lavi answered.
Jerediah's face grew with so much joy that he jumped out of the bed and ran up to Lavi and grabbed his hands. Lavi realized just how much Allen, now calling himself Jerediah, had changed when Allen was his height and "Jerediah" was a few feet shorter.
Jerediah started to spin causing Lavi to spin with him. Jerediah stopped abruptly causing Lavi to fall. When Lavi looked up at Jerediah he saw the kid looked sad.
"What's wrong Al- Jerediah?" Lavi asked.
"Would you be my friend too?" Jerediah asked shyly.
"S-sure."
Jerediah's expression changed from shy to shocked to joy filled. Lavi could have sworn he saw sparkles in the kids as well. "Really!? YAY!"
Link walked up to Jerediah and picked him up from behind. Ignoring the rants and struggles Jerediah used to get free.
"Let me go bastard!" Jerediah shouted.
"Who taught you such language?" Komui asked shocked.
"Nobody you need to know about! Now let me go!" Jerediah argued.
"I'm not going to let you go until you calm down." Link said calmly.
"Let me go or else..." Jerediah said as his head lowered to where his eyes were covered by his hair.
"What are you going to do you little brat?" Leviller questioned with a smirk.
Jerediah looked up with amber eyes and completely serious.
"Noah!" Leviller yelled.
"Wrong... Not I. Dante is who you believe myself to be. My name is Jack." Jerediah said with a deeper voice than Allens.
"Jack" flipped the best he could and kicked Link in the jaw causing Link to release him. He made a back flip in the air and landed on his feet but lost some balance and put his hand on the ground as well. He stood straight up and started to gain height and his hair started to fade to a dark blonde. Eventually he got to be about Allen's height, maybe taller, and his hair was shoulder length and mostly covering his right eye.
"So far there are Allen, Jerediah, Jack, and a Dante we have yet to see. Are there any others?" Bookman asked.
Jack crossed his arms over his chest and closed his eyes as he sat on the foot of the bed. "First of all, you have seen Dante. You've seen "Allen's Noah", which is truly Dante. Secondly, there are two others we have yet to mention; Maylu and Sido. Though it's hard to get them to talk."
"Would we be able to meet them?" Komui asked.
Jack thought for a moment. "You would have to get Dante's approval first. He's the true owner of this ever changing body."
"Would we be allowed to meet Dante?" Bookman asked.
"As long as you don't arrest him for saying 'Hi'." Jack said as he glared at Leviller.
With that said and out in the air, Jack had closed his eyes yet again allowing Dante to take hold once again. Not much changed about him in appearance. His hair turned silver, and spiked up a bit, and his muscles grew slightly. When he opened his eyes they were no longer amber but instead azure blue with a thin gold ring around the outer layer of the iris. Out of no where a silver earring materialized on his left ear and a long silver chain with a cross at the end materialized around his neck.
He smirked. "My name's Dante. Pleasure to meet you all. If only it were under better circumstances. What would yo like to know?"
"We heard you were able to bring every version of you to the surface. Is this true?" Bookman asked.
"Yes it is. Let me guess, you would like to meet everyone at once instead of waiting for them to switch?" Dante asked gaining many nods. "Alright. But I can't promise some of them will answer your questions."
Dante snapped his fingers and was immediately engulfed in flames. After a few moments, the flames separated and landed in five different spots in a perfect line to the right of Dante.
The flames closest to Dante had started to change shape and resemble a human. The figure started to look as if they were resting their left arm on their knee while the other leg was flat on the ground but with the right foot behind the other and the right arm resting on the laying right leg. They seemed to have red, spikey hair and their eyes closed. When the fire diminished it was easier to see the person as a teenage boy, around the age of 18. He opened his eyes and revealed the blood red color of his iris'.
The next fire turned into a small shape they had already met. Jerediah Holting. Sitting there with bright eyes, a wide smile, and his legs crossed and grasping his pant legs as he rocked back and forth.
The next was unknown as well. He sat in a chair with legs crossed and a book in hand. The book being in an ancient language that nobody seemed to understand. The person, another teenage boy around 16, had an almost bored look in his emerald green eyes. His hair tied back by a red ribbon, which was longer than his hair had been. His hair making a tight, two inch ponytail in the center of the back of his head. Flashes of red showed themselves in the boys eyes repeated but lasted for merely a moment along with the smirk that came with it.
Next was Jack. He leaned against the foot of one of the beds, with his legs out and one foot on top of the other, as he picked at his nails with a silver dagger with an opening in the middle making the blade look more like an outline.
Lastly came Allen. He was laying on the floor with his left arm in the air as he examined it and examined a silver dagger, much like Jack's. He lifted the dagger to his left hand and gripped the blade causing some blood to trickle down his arm. As he watched the blood flow down he saw the others and sat up with his legs crossed but still cutting his hand which almost immediately healed.
"I'm surprised I could bring all of them. They usually refuse." Dante said.
"I wouldn't be here if Maylu didn't fucking threaten me!" Allen yelled.
"I only made you come because that was the only way I could come! Hey Dan, where's Drako?" Maylu asked in a slightly deeper pitched voice than Allen.
Dante sighed as he snapped his fingers and a portal appeared in the ground next to Maylu. After a moment of the small portals appearance a small black dragon came flying out towards Maylu's head. Maylu raised his hands and caught the dragon before it collided with his head.
Maylu chuckled, "You know. You try that every time and yet I always catch you first. Just give it up Drako."
The dragon, Drako, growl which just made Maylu laugh. Drako gave up being angry and just sat on his masters lap as his master, Maylu, pet his head.
"I don't know what's weirder. That, or the fact that Jerediah has sparkles all around him..." Jack said with a confused look on his face.
Everyone immediately looked at Jerediah and found Jack to be correct. Jerediah did have sparkles around him but that wasn't the weirdest part. He was staring directly at Lavi.
"Um... Hi again?" Lavi said with confusion.
Jerediah lit up even more as he stood up and ran to Lavi and hugged him. Lavi was shocked much like Allen. Except they had different reasons. Both were rather confused as to why but as Lavi did nothing to change the scene Allen had gotten an idea.
Allen stood up and threw the knife between Jerediah's head and Lavi's stomach. Everyone was even more shocked from this. Lavi and Jerediah looked at Allen with fright and curiosity if he was sane.
"Let go of him Jerediah." Allen said with a glare sending chills down said boys spine.
"Why should I?" Jerediah said and he hugged tighter.
"Because I said so. Now let. Go." Allen said slowly with hidden anger.
"No!" Jerediah yelled and looked into Allen's eyes. "Go away." He ordered.
Allen's eyes narrowed. "You know you have no control over me. I'm stronger than you, moron." Allen said as three kunai appeared in between the fingers in his right hand.
"Both of you stop it!" Dante ordered gaining everyone's attention.
Jerediah let go of Lavi and glared at Allen before sitting back down, Allen returning the notion.
"Sorry about them. Allen here has anger issues and Jerediah doesn't like being ordered around. Most of us are complete opposites of another and those two are the ones who fight most." Dante apologized.
"Just ignore the brats." Jack said with an uncaring tone.
"I am not a brat!" Allen and Jerediah yelled in unison then returned to glaring at each other.
"Jerediah is older than you Jack. You really should call him such a thing." Sido said in a calm and quiet voice.
"And it speaks!" Maylu shouted.
"I'm not an 'it'. I'm a person." Sido said as he continued to read his book.
"What are ya readin' Si?" Jerediah said as he gave up the glaring contest.
"Claudite inferno sursum. Suus 'nemo tuorum dampnas negotii." Sido said.
"Not cool Si." Jerediah pouted.
"I don't care."
Dante sweatdropped. "Well, um..." He turned to Leviller, Komui, Bookman, Link, and Lavi. "Where do you want us to start?"
(A/N: And the shit ends there! Happy chapter 15 everyone! The longest story I have ever written! Yay! So just because I know somebody will pronounce at least one of the names wrong I have to say this.
Sido is pronounced sigh-dough.
Jerediah is just Jeremiah but with a 'd'. Simple.
Maylu is pronounced may-loo
Jack is simple Jack and same with Allen.
Dante is just dohn(like John)-tay.
Simple right? Also Dante is not from the video games or anything like that. Just thought the name was awesome.
Official translations! Sido told Jerediah "Shut the hell up. It's none of your damn business."
If you guys have any emo, insane, psycodic, sadistic, or strange songs that you think would work with this story please tell me. I found out today that the songs actually keep me focused more. They also help motivate me.
Stay tuned for the next piece of crap where I truely introduce all of these confusing as hell guys. Warning the story may get confusing at first but it laters gets easier to understand... hopefully.
People who think Allen is going to be too powerful: Allen is the only one with the Innocence the others can't use it. Confusing but I'll explain next chapter.
Review, fave, follow, and vote! Remember! Your vote could decide if we get a bloodbath or not! Bai~! c(X )
