Chapter 17: Poison, Family, and Respect
(A/N: Hey guyz~! Been a month! Damn... Fuck you laziness! Made a poll recently for how to kill our favorite annoying person. Please vote or share ideas on how to kill Lenalee. If you give me a good idea I'll credit you and give you a cookie. Maybe even make you the one who kills her? Anyway! To a different topic. Went back and read the whole story... And I was right. This truly is shit! Me being a Grammar Nazi, made me want to murder myself for fucking up so much. How the hell do you understand half the shit I type? I'm actually curious as to how this chapter will turn out. At first I had an idea that disappeared. Re-read the story and got a new idea then I remembered the old idea... Yeah so fuck me softly!
Warning! If there is anything more fucked up than usual that's because I've been watching too much Cry Plays: Corpse Party, then reading the manga. Both are fucking awesome! On to the shitty ass crap!)
"Ally-chan, why is your arm black?" Jerediah asked, surprising everyone.
"When did you wake up?" Jack asked.
"A little while ago." Jerediah said innocently and quietly.
"And you were quiet?" Jack asked.
Jerediah nodded.
"Because you wanted to be?" Jack questioned.
Another nod.
"It's the end of the world! Jerediah chose to be quiet! Can you believe it Allen!?"
Jack looked at Allen and saw the boy staring blankly at his left arm, specifically the glowing green cross on the back of his hand. "Allen?"
Jack walked over to Allen and waved his hand in front of Allen's face to which Allen just turned his back to the famous murderer.
Allen continued staring at the cross and slowly brought his right hand to it. He let his right hand hover over his left for a few moments then gently touched the glowing green item. Almost as soon as he had touched it, he had pulled his right hand away with a slightly pained expression on his face.
Allen sighed and tore a piece of the bed sheet off. He wrapped the cloth around his left upper arm and tied it tight.
"Jack." Allen murmured.
"Yeah?"
"Cut it off." Allen muttered under his breath quietly enough so only Jack could hear him.
"S-seriously?" Jack whispered in shock.
Allen raised his left arm and turned his head to look at Jack in the eyes showing how serious he was. "Cut it off." he said a little louder this time.
"I can't do that! How would you fight!?"
"I'd rather have only one arm then have this annoying piece of shit on me!" Allen yelled in frustration.
"I'm not cutting it off!" Jack yelled back.
"If you don't do it then I will! The thing hurts like hell! Shit, it's worse then Dante's Inferno! Get the damn thing off of me!" Allen shouted.
"Worse than... the Inferno..?" Dante whispered in shock.
"What's wrong with Ally-chan's arm?" Jerediah asked in fear.
"He's an accomadator. That's his Innocence." Lavi said calmly.
Jerediah looked a Allen with wide eyes filled with shock and fear. He ran to one of the bed and grabbed part of the metal, changing it into a sword and started to run towards Allen. He raised the sword once at his destination and began to swing down, aiming for the wrapped part of Allen's arm.
Jerediah was shocked when the sword stopped just above the mark. He looked up and saw Lavi holding his arms causing the weapon to stop. Jerediah looked into Lavi's one showing eye with teary eyes.
"Let go." Jerediah commanded.
"No." Lavi replied.
"Let go!" Jerediah shouted with more tears.
"No! As long as you still want to take off his arm I won't allow it!" Lavi shouted.
Jerediah dropped the sword, causing Lavi to let go of his arms and letting the small boy fall to his knees. Jerediah laid both hands flat on the floor and lowered his head, making it seem like he was crying.
When they realized he wasn't crying it was too late. Jerediah had manipulated the floor under Allens arm into a sharp blade that was shooting up. Lavi, still behind Jerediah, hit a pressure point on the boy's neck causing the 'blade' to stop right as it began to cut Allen.
Jerediah sat up straight and stared at his hands with wide teary eyes. He covered his eyes and started trembling. The child was crying. But why?
"I'm sorry Allen... I couldn't help you. I can't do anything now." Jerediah murmured through his tears.
"What are you talking about?" Allen asked, turning to the crying boy.
"I can't do anything. He hit my neck and now I can't use my abilities..!"
"What did you do to my little brother?" Allen asked Lavi in an almost demonic tone.
"He was going to cut off your arm so I stopped him." Lavi replied, dead serious.
"He was trying to help me!"
"Cutting off your arm wouldn't help you at all!" Lavi shouted.
"Getting rid of the Innocence in my arm would though!" Allen shouted furiously.
"What are you talking about?" Komui asked.
"Innocence to us is like Dark Matter to a human being. Pure poison. It would normally kill us near instantly but with Allen being the last of us he has less Noah gene's making the poison take longer making it a truly long and painful death." Dante explained.
Jack ran up to Komui and grabbed him by the collar of his jacket and lifted him off the ground."You jack asses put Innocence in him without even knowing this would happen!? He's fucking part Noah! Innocence would harm a Noah but with it becoming part of their body it means definite death! Who's the dumb ass who decided to try such an idiotic thing!?" Jack shouted in fury.
"Leviller." Komui choked out.
Jack dropped Komui, allowing the supervisor to gain air in his lungs, and walked over to Leviller. He picked up the Inspector and pinned the wanna-be Hitler to the wall by means of a butcher knife in his left shoulder.
Leviller awoke, screaming.
"You like that!?" Jack shouted as he grabbed the mans throat and pushed him against the wall while taking the knife out and carving up Leviller's left arm. "Now you know how Allen feels you fucking cowardly dumb ass! Tell me how to get that shit out of his arm! Tell me or die you coward!"
All Leviller did was scream in pain.
"Tell me you bastard! How do I save his life and arm while getting that horrid crystal out of his hand!" Jack questioned again only to receive no answer.
Jack kept question the much hated inspector. Each time getting no answer. Each time he would cut off more and more of Leviller's arm. With a minute or so, all of the flesh on Leviller's arm was gone along with pieces of muscle. All that showed of the arm was the bleach white bone, pink and crimson tissue that was the muscle, and the crimson liquid that was the blood which was now mostly on the floor and on Jack.
"TELL ME YOU BASTARD!" Jack shouted again.
Jack's yell snapped Komui out of his shock which was caused by the brutality Jack showed to Leviller.
"As far as we know, there is no way to safely extract the Innocence! If any one would know for sure then that would be Hevlaska!" Komui told Jack over the sound of a dull and rugged blade cutting into soft tissues, tearing them apart.
Jack dropped Leviller and went back to Komui. "Where is Hevlaska?"
"In the lower level of the building." Komui said.
"Take us to her." Jack said while pointing his bloodied knife at Leviller "Or else that same thing happens to you and everyone in the Order."
"Get Allen in a wheel chair. We're taking him to Hevlaska." Komui ordered the nurses who complied.
Since leaving the Infirmary, Lavi watched Jack who was walking just behind Allen the entire time with saddened eyes. Noticing Lavi watching him, Jack stopped and allowed Lavi to catch up.
"I know you're watching me. I know you want to ask questions. Just spill it already." Jack stated.
"You seemed perfectly calm earlier but then you had a major break down after you found out about Allen's Innocence. What happened?" Lavi asked keeping his eye looking ahead of him.
"Just like what happened to you." Jack said calmly while looking at the floor then moving his eyes to Allen and the others. "Though we all share a body, we're still family. When something happens to your family you freak out. Especially if it's a person who caused the problem."
"Earlier Allen called Jerediah his younger brother but from what I've heard Jerediah is older. What's that about?"
"We rarely go by our true age. We go more by appearance and character. Dante Being the eldest no matter what, and Jerediah being the youngest. Usually the order of our family goes: Dante, Sido, Maylu, Allen and I as nearly twins, then Jerediah."
"What do you mean 'nearly twins'?"
"Both of us are about 15 or 16 in appearance and character yet we look almost nothing alike so it's nearly." Jack replied with a shrug.
"You all seemed to hate each other but then when something happened to Allen you all freaked out. Does that have the same reason?"
"It's true. Most the time we hate each others guts. Most the time we want to kill each other. But... Allen's a different story. Though he's the youngest of us all, he's still been through the most and has more courage then anyone we've ever met in any of our lives. He just gives off the sense that almost forces you to respect him. Remember when he would kill all of the people in the hotels he stayed in?"
"Yeah." Lavi muttered with a chill running down his back at the thought of all those deaths.
"On the surface, he gave them what they wanted. But, underneath, he was saving them all from a horrible fate. The Earl would have found each and every one of them and torture them until he got the information he wanted. Though he does it more brutally then needed he is still kind at heart."
"What do you mean by 'more brutally than needed'?"
Jack chuckled silently and looked at Lavi with a smirk. "All of us can erase the memory of anyone, even if its a massive crowd. Allen could just erase their memories but chooses to have his fun with them but is kind enough to make it a fast death and giving them what they want before the depart from the land of the living."
"So he's psychotic?" Lavi stated bluntly.
"You could say that. But that also makes him the most fun. All of us are at least a slight bit psychotic and sadistic, but what do you expect? We've all seen horrible murders that would cause you to wish you had died just so you didn't have to imagine that image ever again. I can still remember mine clearly. It was so horrid and terrifying that I can't even describe it. The worst part is, the person who was murdered so brutally was one of our friends."
"Mind if I ask how you were related to the person?" Lavi asked shyly, trying not to strike a nerve.
"Her name was Mayella. She was my best friend and the only one I ever loved. We were supposed to meet up at our favorite spot, a hill that looked over the small town she lived in and the valley around it. I told her I had to see her immediately and that I had a surprise for her. I was going to propose but... when I got there I saw the Earl standing over her mutilated body. He disappeared shortly after I got there and left me there with the dead body of the one I loved."
Lavi was shocked. He could see the pain in Jack's eyes and yet the teen decided to tell of the horrible memory.
"What about Allen..? What made him experience more than any of you?" Lavi asked.
"The death of his father. We were in a fight a few years back. Allen was in control when something hit him in the head, making him lose his memory. As a self defense and almost disguise, he accidentally turned himself into a child. A while later he met Mana, his adoptive father. About a year later, the men who attacked him before had found him. They tried to run him over but Mana jumped in the way to protect his son. Later the Earl came and promised to revive Mana, to which Allen agreed. Mana was brought back as an akuma and was forced to attack and kill Allen.
"Mana attacked his son, reviving Allen's memory of us and everything else allowing him to remember the attackers were akuma sent by the Earl. Allen was still forced to kill his father, and watch his soul fade from existence. We didn't witness the death of our loved ones, instead we got there after the person was dead. Allen, though, was there during Mana's death, then was forced to kill his father. Yet after all that he's still strong and courageous making all of us respect him." Jack explained.
Lavi looked at Allen with shocked and widened eyes. "I... I never would have thought he'd been through that with how he acts. Now that I think about it... I did find some respect for him even though he was killing so many people."
For the next few minutes, Lavi was dead silent, thinking about what he had just heard. Without even noticing, they had already made it to Hevlaska's chambers.
"Komui," Hevlaska's voice echoed "what are you doing here again so soon?"
"We need to find a way to remove the Innocence from Allen's arm without him losing his arm!" Jack shouted.
"Jack Dane... I never thought I'd see you again." Hevlaska said with a smile.
"Told you you would get taller." Jack said with a smirk. "But now isn't the time. The Innocence is poisoning Allen and killing him slowly. How do we get it out of him without killing him or removing his arm?"
"I'm... not sure if there is a way..." Hevlaska said solemnly sending everyone into a state of shock, fear, and sadness.
Allen was a dead man no matter what happened, it seemed.
(A/N: And I end it there! Here's the first installment of the Lenalee/Kenny omake.)
Lenalee slowly woke up on a hard surface. She sat up rubbing the back of her head as it felt like it had hit something hard. She slowly opened her eyes to find herself in the middle of the Noah's dinning room and in the middle of one of their famous food fights.
"What's she doing here!?" Debbito shouted as he pointed his gun at the exorcist.
"Yeah! Where did she come from!? Hehe~!" Jasdero shouted pointing his gun at the failure as well.
"I brought her~" Road said from her spot of the table with a fork in between her teeth.
"Why?" Tyki asked as he blew out the smoke from his cancer stick.
"The food fight's are getting boring and I wanted to see something more fun~! Figured she would be a good doll to torture~" Road said with a sadistic grin.
Debbito and Jasdero smiled at each other as they thought of how to torture the female exorcist.
Lulubell sat there getting her nails re-done by her akuma servant Mimi with both of them thinking of horrible deaths that might fit the girl.
Tyki was looking all around at his family and shrugged, then started to come up with ideas.
"Tell me," Skin started "Do you like candy?"
"Um... I've never tried any." Failure (Lenalee) replied.
"WHAT!?" Skin shouted as he grabbed the exorcists foot and dragged her across the table to him.
Skin threw the girl onto the floor and started to punch her in the face. Skin stopped punching the girl after she passed out and Jasdevi shouted they wanted a turn as well.
Skin threw the girl in the air only to be stabbed in her arms and legs by Jasdevi's long golden hair and held up in the air. Jasdevi brought out one of his guns and called out "Red Bomb!" then shot the failure of an exorcist in the stomach catching the girl on fire. Jasdevi threw her across the room with the winds putting out the fire leaving third degree burns.
Lulubell stood and walked over to the burned girl while changing her appearance to that of Komui's. She whispered "Lenalee. Time to wake up." to the girl in Komui's voice. Failure opened her eyes slightly and saw her brother and whispered "Nii-san" with tears of joy rolling down her cheeks.
Mimi ran to 'Komui' with a chainsaw and handed it to 'him'. 'Komui' told Failure "I promise this won't hurt... much." and started hacking away at her legs.
Road disappeared through one of her doors but cam back a moment later with a small bomb in her hand. When Tyki asked where she went, she mearly replied with two words. "The Pentagon" and handed the bomb to Tyki who understood well.
When Lulubell stopped the chainsaw and turned back to normal, she stepped away and let Tyki do his part. With the bomb in his hand, he shoved his hand into Failure's chest and left the bomb in her heart. He pulled his hand away and stood next to Road who had the detonator switch.
Road looked at her family, which was a fair enough distance from the exorcist, and flipped the switch causing the girl to blow up and her guts, blood, and bones to fly every where, covering the room.
"What do we do now? The Order will be curious as to what happened." Tyki stated.
"Don't worry~!" Road said as she ran out of the room and came back with a life sized figure of the dead exorcist.
"Road... Why do you have that?" Tyki asked.
"I had to practice torturing them on something!" Road said.
"Whatever." Tyki said as he pulled out another cancer stick.
Within 30 minutes they had called back Failure's soul, put it in the doll, and took the doll to the Order and to Failures bedroom.
"Wanna do this again tomorrow night?" Road asked.
"Sure." Tyki said as they got back to the arc. "New dinner tradition?"
"Of coarse!" Road shouted happily as she ran back to her room. "Night Tyki-pon~!"
And from that day forward, the Noah family tortured and killed Failure after dinner.
(A/N: Hope you enjoyed! The main idea of it came from Lonewolf685! The idea of calling her Failure came from Diavo, the fucked up and awesome bastard!
