Chapter 16: Identities
(Hey guyz~! I'm back! Warning! If there are any fuck ups during this chapter, it's because I am writing this while in the backseat of my mom's truck. Figured I would update instead of sit in a truck for 4 hours with nothing to do. So yeah. Thank the Glamis Dunes Sandy Golf Tournament. Trust me. It's more fun than it sounds. Still trying to find out who called me horrible on my vote... Seriously! Just say if it was you! It's not like I'll hunt you down for it. I just want to know why you chose it. Speaking of the vote. I said I would make a Kenny/Lenalee chapter if I hit 10 votes. Guess what. I only have 8. But because I'm as evil as I am I decided to make it something else~ On with the crap!)
Dante, Maylu, Jerediah, Sido, Jack, and Allen all sat in their spots patiently. They were waiting for Leviller or Komui to ask any questions. As they started to lose their patience, Maylu started playing with Drako, his pet dragon from the depths of hell, Jerediah started playing with his ponytail, Sido continued reading his book, and Jack and Allen were tossing knives at each other, the other catching the blade between their index and middle fingers then flipping it and tossing it back.
Dante sighed as he realized he was the only one with patience. "Please forgive them. They usually live for the here-and-now kind of things." Dante explained.
Komui nodded in understanding. "Then how about each of you tell us about yourselves?" Komui questioned gaining everyones attention.
Dante smiled and nodded as he stood in his spot. "We will introduce ourselves by age." he explained to the other five boys who all nodded in either agreement or boredom.
"My name is Dante. I am the original owner of the body we all reside in. I am the original Fourteenth Noah. I control the power of Dante's Inferno, otherwise known as Hell. My abilities allow me to summon the demons of hell, not the akuma you fight, along with the ability to control the flames of hell." (I feel like I stole that... Sorry Sam! Came up with the idea then figured it out... Don't hate me!)
Leviller looked at Dante with anger and disbelief. "Stop lying. Tell us the truth." he ordered.
Dante snapped his fingers and a dark red and black hole appeared in the ground. "You want proof? How's this?" Dante said as his eyes flashed gold.
As if on cue, a demon, that looked much like a level 3 akuma but with a head much more human, jumped out of the hole with a sword in hand. The hilt of the sword was made completely of bone with a skull hanging of the bottom and the blade was not metal but purely fire.
Within seconds the demon was behind Leviller with the sword near Leviller's neck. Were the demon commanded to kill Leviller it wouldn't need to stab him, but merely bring the 'blade' closer and Leviller would be incinerated.
"What do you command for me, Master Dante? Do you wish of his ashes or severed head?" The demon said in a very deep and gruff voice.
"Yes!" yelled Allen excitedly and with a huge grin along with bloodlust in his eyes.
"No, none of that." Dante said calmly.
"Aw~ Come on why not!?" Allen shouted.
"Yes sir." The demon said, ignoring Allen and moving the blade away from Leviller and bowing to his master.
Dante held his hand out towards the demon of which handed its master the sword. Dante held the sword in hand and examined it for a moment. He flipped the sword to where he was holding it back-handed and stabbed it into the floor causing the flames to vanish and a black spot to be made in the floor around a fresh cut. He threw the hilt of the used-to-be sword into the air and it seemed to be consumed in fire. As the fire vanished everyone noticed the hilt had vanished as well. Then, shortly after, everyone realized the demon and hole in th ground were gone.
"How did you..?" Lavi tried to question but was held back by shock.
"I told you. Those were from the deepest pits of Hell. Pieces of Dante's Inferno. I can control them with ease." Dante explained with a smirk.
Lavi was speechless. He was impressed that such a person could hold that much strength, even if they were a Noah. Lavi knew he didn't want to get this Noah upset.
"If you don't mind me asking, how old do you think you are?" Bookman asked calmly.
"Hm... I lost count so to say. I know as a definite that I am over 10,000 years of age." Dante said in a calm thought as he tried to remember his true age.
"So would that be all?" Bookman asked.
"Yes. I believe what I have told you is enough of what you need to know of myself." Dante said as he snapped out of his thoughts. "Maylu. Care to introduce yourself?"
"No." Maylu said sharply. "I don't have time to waste on these fuck-tards."
"Ooooh~ May-chan is angry~" laughed Jerediah.
"I'll fucking kill you if you call me that again you fucking moron!" Maylu shouted causing Drako to get angry as well.
"Calm down all of you. Jerediah stop making fun of him. Maylu. The sooner you introduce yourself, the sooner it will be over with." Dante reasoned.
"Fine." Maylu grumbled as he stood.
"My name is Maylu Ryne. I am the second controller of this body we inhabit. I have the ability of destruction. I am highly skilled in the medical department."
"He also doesn't give a damn about anyone other than himself and that stupid dragon of his." Allen mumbled just loud enough for everyone to hear.
"Say that again ass hole!" Maylu shouted angrily as the ground around Allen began to crack and turn black.
"Which part?" Allen asked pushing Maylu's anger.
"He is not stupid. His name is Drako you idiotic jack ass!" Maylu shouted making some of the floor around Allen crumble and disintegrate.
Allen jumped off of the spot he originally sat on just as it fell apart. "Why did you name him 'Drako'? Oh right. Because its just the short and more retarded version of the word dragon!"
"Shut up!" Maylu shouted as he aimed to destroy Allen's arm.
Dante noticed Maylu's aim and commanded, "Stop it both of you! Maylu quit trying to destroy Allen! Allen stop taunting Maylu!"
Both mention people turned to face Dante. The two glared at each other then looked at Dante muttering "Fine" then sitting back down.
"Okay then... Who's next-?" Komui started to say.
"Hi!" Jerediah shouted as he stood. "My name's Jerediah Holting. I'm the third in control of our body and mind. I'm super cute and love ice cream~!"
"Give it up Jerediah. Don't listen to him. If you pay too much attention to him you fall into a trap." Jack explained.
"No! Don't tell them Jacky-pon~!" Jerediah shouted.
"Shut it! Don't call me that you manipulating idiot!" Jack shouted.
"What does that mean?" Lavi asked.
"Jerediah is a manipulator. He can change anything. Some's thoughts or a tangible object." Dante explained.
"Remember when I told you how we killed the Earl, 2,000 years ago?" Allen asked receiving only nods. "Well I partially lied. Jerediah did use a shovel but he changed it into a sword and stabbed it through Adams heart. Killed him instantly."
"Why did you ruin the fun Ally-chan~!?" Jerediah shouted only to get a knife pressed up against his throat.
"I told you not to call me that." a pissed off Allen said.
"Aw~ Is Ally-chan mad~?" Jerediah teased.
"That's it!" Allen shouted angrily as he tried to slit Jerediah's throat.
At the last second, Jerediah changed the knife into a metal duck. Allen saw this and got angrier.
"That was my favorite knife!" Allen shouted while hitting Jerediah in the head with the duck, knocking the kid unconscious.
"What the hell was that?" Kanda questioned from the corner of the room.
Dante sighed. "Jerediah manipulated the knife into something 'cute'. The 'cute' thing ended up being a duck."
"Why did it stay metal?" Lavi question.
"He can manipulate the appearance of an inanimate object but he can't change the material it's made of." Dante finished explaining.
"Interesting." Link commented. "Seeing as how he's unconscious shall we move on?"
"Of coarse." Dante said as he looked at Sido. "Sido would you please?"
Sido kept his eyes on his book and shook his head.
"Quit being so quiet." Jack muttered.
Sido looked at Jack from the corner of his eye. "Maybe you should speak less." Sido thought.
"Sido if you introduce yourself then you can have that book you wanted AND you can read the entire thing without any interruption." Dante bribed.
Sido placed the bookmark on his page, closed his book and looked up at the others around him.
Instantly everyone heard a voice in their head saying "My name is Sido Cline. I am the fourth inhabitant of this vessel. In my time I prefer to read and be left alone."
Everyone looked at Sido either in shock or paying attention at first. Towards the end everyone was, instead of shocked, curious.
"How... how did you..?" Lavi questioned.
"He has the power of speech." Maylu commented with his eyes closed.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Kanda asked with annoyance.
"It means that what ever I say becomes a command which forces me to communicate as I am now." Sido explained.
"How are we supposed to believe that?" Kanda asked with more annoyance than before as he stepped closer to the commander.
Sido looked directly at Kanda and glared. "Pull out your sword, Kanda Yuu, and press it to your throat." Sido commanded aloud.
Much to everyones surprise, Kanda did so. The samurai struggled and was confused as to how his body was moving on its own. As Kanda pressed Mugen, his beloved sword and Innocence, to his own throat, a thin line of blood flowed down.
"Sheathe your sword and wipe away that blood." Sido commanded as Kanda did as told.
"Do you believe me now?" Sido asked only to receive a glare and shocked faces. "That's what I thought."
"Is there any more you would want to share?" Bookman asked.
"I do not 'want' to tell of myself but I am forced to. When I am not reading, I am playing one of my games. Which comes to my asking. Would you like to play?" Sido questioned as a mischievous grin spread over his face.
"NO!" Dante shouted.
"Do it!" Allen and Jack shouted in unison.
"I haven't seen one of his 'games' in a while. Do it. It'll be fun." Maylu commented.
"Depends what the game is." Lavi stated calmly as he ignored the other comments.
"Hm... What about chess?" Sido asked.
"Alright." Lavi stated then turned curiously to Allen and Jack who were holding back their laughter. "What's wrong with you two?"
"You just signed your own death moron!" Allen shouted as he and Jack burst into laughter.
"Since you two believe it to be so enjoyable to watch, how about you play as well?" Sido asked with an almost sinister grin.
Allen and Jack stopped laughing immediately. "NO!" the two shouted in fear.
Komui and Lavi looked at the two with curiosity, Leviller and Kanda looked at them as if they were total morons, and Link and Bookman kept straight faces as the recorded what was happening.
"Why not? It will be just a simple game of chess." Sido questioned.
"Your 'simple game of chess' kills people! You don't use chess pieces! You use humans! When the pieces are supposed to collide and knock one out, you have them fight to the death! You're a complete sadist when you play! You get to be worse then me and that:s saying a lot!" Allen shouted.
"I don't wanna play chess anymore." Lavi said rather fast.
"Fine. Ruin my fun why not." Sido thought as he started to read his book again.
"Guess it's my turn now." Jack stated as he stood with a smirk. "My names Jack Dane. Whether you know it or not, you have heard of me before today."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Leviller questioned with annoyance.
"Ever heard of Jack the Ripper?" Jack questioned.
"Of coarse. Though that was just a name for unknown serial killers." Leviller said.
Jack made a sound almost like a buzzer that went off when you answered wrong. "My dearly hated person you are very wrong. They started the name because of one person. Right when that person was caught, the police asked for his name. The killer answered with 'Jack the Ripper' then pulled out two butcher knives and killed the police allowing for the escape of the killer. Many people killed the same way he did so they believed the other killers to be Jack the Ripper." Jack said with a bigger smirk.
"How would you know this?" Bookman asked.
"Ha! Because I am the original Jack the Ripper! My weapon of choice being a butcher knife. Second favorite being a Desert Eagle. I'm fast on my feet and can pin-point any weak spots on any one. I know every pressure point of the human body which only helped in my killings. I'm the strategist of this group. Second on the chart of most sadistic and fifth to come into existence." Jack explained.
"Not as 'special' ad the others now are you?" Leviller smirked.
In the center of Jack's eyes came a small red light that looked much like the light down the scope of a gun. "Malcolm C. Leviller. You're key weak-point is..." Jack disappeared then reappeared in front of Leviller and elbowed him in the center of his stomach. "...your stomach."
As Jack stepped forward and away from Leviller, the inspector fell to the floor unconscious. Link immediately went into action and pressed a knife against Jack throat who only smirked. Jack raised his hand and barely tapped the side of Link's neck. Within seconds Link was on the floor as well.
"Howard Link. A CROW member who only listens to Malcolm C. Leviller and no body else. Not even the ones higher than his boss. Your fatal weak-spot is your neck." Jack said as he looked at Link's unconscious body.
"W-what was that? Lavi asked. "You took them down so easily."
Jack looked at Lavi with a smirk and the red light in the center of his eyes. "My ability. When I look at someone with these eyes, I can see the weakest part of their body, their name, their age, and some of their secrets. My victims are practically an open book for me to read. Much like you at the moment Lavi. But I must ask, which name do you prefer at the moment? Lavi, Deak, Jed? What about the other 46 names you have had in your 18 years?"
"I prefer the name Lavi seeing as how that's my current title." Lavi said completely serious.
"Of coarse. Though now that I look farther in, you had quite a nice family. You seemed so adorable as a baby with your parents. It's too sad they couldn't stand your deformity." Jack commented.
"Shut up! Do NOT talk about that or my family!" Lavi shouted completely furious.
"Oh? So you have been lying by saying you didn't know your parents. I'm sure your brother would like to meet you again one day. How old was he when you were born?" Jack teased as he stepped closer to Lavi.
"Shut up! Don't talk about them! They all hated me! I don't want to see them ever again!" Lavi shouted.
"Oh but you see at least one of them everyday. Though your brother looks much different now then when he was four years old. Then there's also your younger brother that you never got to know but have met before."
"I- I have a younger brother..?" Lavi asked shakily as he fell to his knees.
Jack walked up to Lavi and knelt done to his eye level. "Oh yes. You also had a little sister. Though she died due to an akuma attack. The worst part about that is the fact that she died in your arms. Remember that shy and scared little girl you met three years ago? The one that got caught up in your fight and was just bearly grazed but the bullet? You killed all the akuma then noticed her and tried to help though you knew it was too late. After a few minutes of telling her she would be fine, she turned to dust in your arms."
At this point Lavi was bent over and clutching at his head. He didn't want to hear this. He didn't want to hear any of this. "Please... please just stop..." Lavi cried.
"Give him a break Jack. Don't torture the guy." Dante said.
"Fine." Jack said as he stood and the red light disappeared. "I'm done with my little speech. You're next buddy." Jack gestured to Allen.
"Ugh. Fine." Allen said as he stood and Jack sat. "My names Allen Walker. Originally Ayon."
"Why did your name change?" Komui asked.
"Because I met clown name Mana Walker who thought 'Arron' was too 'serious' for someone of my age. I looked 10 when I met him. He named me Allen which practically bound me to him. He was the only person I was 'kind' around. At some point of knowing him I forgot about these other morons. When Mana died I called him back as an akuma and he gave me this scar which became a curse. As he gashed my eye, I felt only betrayal. That's when I remembered these idiots which made me remember who I was. Within an instant Mana was gone again. I was still sad but figured I would get over it. I guess I never fully did." Allen said calmly and sadly.
"How... how did you..?"
"Kill him?" Allen asked cutting off Lavi who was starting to calm down. "I'm the last identity of this body. My ability allows me to make weapons out of 'thin air'. Truly I'm just using the iron in my blood, changing it to steel, then making a knife, sword, or gun out of it. To kill Mana, I made a knife from the blood of the gash and stabbed it into his skull destroying the akuma and Mana's soul."
Everyone noticed his voice begin to shake a little towards the end. Jack put his hand on Allen shoulder in a comforting way and Allen continued.
"If it wasn't for the side effect of his soul being destroyed then he would be here with us in person."
"Did you ever try to revive him after? Like how you did to us?" Komui asked calmly.
"No. But even if we tried I'm positive it wouldn't work. When an akuma is destroyed, the chain connecting the soul to the body is broken and the soul raises towards heaven. When Mana died... his soul turned black and vanished..." Allen finished leaving everyone in the room sadened or shocked.
(A/N: Damn that was long! Poor Lavi and Allen. If there is anything you are still confused about then just tell me and I'll try to explain.
I've heard that Lavi keeps his eye covered up for personal reasons. If anyone knows the real reason then please share. For now I have it as his eye is the deformity that his parents hated. Evil parents huh?
Well here's the Lenalee/Kenny thing. Mainly Lenalee is the same as Kenny from South Park. No body cares about them and they constantly die. The idea was created by the awesome FollieofMadness. I deeply apologize but I won't be making one this time... I have no ideas along with the fact that my Kindle is about to die... So review, follow, fave, keep reading, and share your ideas for the Lenalee/Kenny thing if you have any! Bai~! c(X )
