Allen's Mission: Trauma in Edo
Upon arriving leaving in a carriage...
Allen went to see Undertaker as he received a letter from the Principal under guise as his mother but in reality, it was Undertaker who bailed him out. He had arrived at his Funeral Parlor in London, got off and went inside while making the carriage stay. 'Master?' he called out. 'I'm here!'
'We~lcome back~ although I wish its a good one~' Undertaker sighed with a lazy hand-wave. 'You see, I have a job for you which cancels your job with the Earl.'
'A job?'
'Yeees...you know about the Black Order, Akuma, the Millennium Earl and the Noah Clan by now no?' Undertaker asked him as the redhead boy nodded. 'Their war came to a higher level, causing Shinigami to get totally angry due to souls being stolen by tragedies.' he said.
Allen winced. Even Shinigami are getting into this mess?
'They had to work double time now and that makes their tempers rise to an all-time high. So this fellow came to me as an envoy.' he said as a young man with blonde-and-black hair came, wearing a black suit. 'He is Ronald Knox. He was sent here to investigate the holy presence's source from the Campania and I had to butt in since your presence in your house is stronger than at the Phantomhive Mansion...' he said, gesturing for Knox to continue.
'So this guy and I made a deal.' said Ronald, facing Allen. 'You and I are gonna travel around the world, eliminating as many akuma as possible, and retrieving back the stolen souls that got upper management in hissy bitchy fits and us subordinates in unwanted overtime.' he griped. 'And apparently as these akuma grow, their souls rot...but getting killed by holy weapons restores them so you'll be doing most of the work and fighting while I'm your support while I send reports home and re-reap the stolen souls. Undertaker told me that you need money and food, we can provide that just fine. He even provided the means to fix your arm incase it gets damaged...and finally, we have our own transport. No problems, no?'
'Er yes. Just let me tell mother and let me pack so we're good to go.' said Allen. 'To avoid bringing trouble to my family, just call me Whitey as an alias since my Exorcist Form is all white. Never call me by name until this job is over.'
'Alright. I'll wait for you here.' Ronald let him leave for home.

'Mother, do you know about my mission...?' Allen asked Madam Red who sighed in resignation.
'Yes...I'm fully aware of that one.' said Madam Red in utter dismay. 'Will you be OK?' she asked him worriedly. Allen looked nervous.
'I'll try my best. That's all I can promise mother.' said Allen softly. 'I'll come home someday.' Madam Red embraced her stepson who embraced back.
'Be careful. You're all I've got.'
'Yeah. You're all I got too.'

With a small daypack, Allen packed casual wear and one spare pair of shoes before going back to the Funeral Parlor to leave with Ronald...who has a death-themed carriage ready. There's even a black horse!
'We'll go to where the akuma are in a jiffy. Kill em' and I reap em'.' said Ronald as they boarded the carriage. 'We go to Asia.'
'Why asia? Why not start in europe?' Allen asked him, perplexed.
'Well ironically, the Earl made it so damn easy for us, thank god for that.' Ronald chuckled as he drove the carriage. 'He's mobilizing all akuma worldwide at all Black Order Exorcists just to kill them all. Especially one Cross Marian, a man that gave him one heck of a trouble in the past.' he said. 'We're goin' to Japan. Its where all the corrupted akuma are! Before the Black Order Exorcists get there, you kill em' all.'
'Yes yes...but before that, I need a lot of food to be at full power OK? About enough for fifty binge-eating people.' Allen requested, causing Ronald to squawk.
'HAH?!'
He needed THAT much to eat to reach his full power?!
Ronald decided Parasitic Exorcists are scarier than either Shinigami or Demons.
And so, in China, Shanghai through speed travel...at the Marketplace, Allen was eating as much food as Ronald could get him, forcing the Shinigami to make back-and-forth trips because for Allen to be useful enough to fight for days nonstop, his stupid arm must be satisfied. And Allen eats like a starved man, foregoing all manners drilled into him by aristocracy.
'Man I'm tired!' Ronald gasped as he brought platters of noodles, pots of soup and stews, huge portions of meats, rice dishes, dumplings and buns...all stolen from restaurants.
'I'm sorry about this but this is how I function if sent out to fight y'know?' Allen said sheepishly. 'Frankly I hate this either! Eating so much makes my jaws tired!' he complained. 'I wish there were OTHER ways to satisfy this thing...honestly...' soon, everything was gone, nothing but trash left. 'Huuuu...alright, I'm ready to go!'
'Finally...' Ronald whimpered as they got back into the carriage and drove off for Japan. This was one heck of a report to write home to. They arrived in Edo.
'Where are we now Ronald?' Allen asked him as they stopped in the middle of the streets.
'We're in Edo, Japan.' Ronald told him. 'I suppose I should give you a heads-up on history.' he said. '300 years ago when Japan isolated itself from the mainland by order of the Shogun, it unknowingly signed its death wish as the Millennium Earl took advantage of that, and turned Japan into a nest of corrupt souls. Most akuma you'll see here are frigging Japanese Citizens.'
'I see...well, before we work, let's take as much souvenirs as we can too.' Allen smiled. 'Think of it as job privilege because what I'll do later will be hair-raising.'
'OK...? What'cha gonna do?'
'Oh, something real big you might hate me later for it.' Allen giggled and this got the blonde wary. 'But hey, its faster so we can go home sooner.'
'Haaa...' needless to say, the pair raided all buildings...especially mansions and stuffed everything in the supernatural carriage.
Then Allen activated his innocence and Ronald saw the form he saw on the Campania and Grell saw the same thing, as they both reported a white man with holy power on board.
"So his form changes when he activates huh?" he thought as Allen put on the silver mask to obscure half his face.
'I'll begin.' Allen warned him. 'You might want to call reinforcements since this'll be hundred-thousands or even millions...'
'Screw that, I'm doing millions!' Ronald exclaimed in annoyance. 'I'll see if they'll send people to help me out...this is one hell of an overtime you know!' Ronald groaned as Allen's cowl turned into an angel attached to his back and it began playing.
'I'm a musician by occupation...so I'll attract the filth through music.' said Allen with a grin as his cowl moved to become a two-meter-tall angel resembling him but everything in white with long, gravity-defying hair, with a bare torso and a swirl of 'cloth' covering the waist-down with two huge feathery wings...and he himself began singing.
Felicitas cum amicis
Communicata esto...
As he sang his mysterious, the angel released a wide-spread 'beat' of pulsing power of immense proportions covering a wide area, causing the song to echo far and wide.
Elsewhere in Edo, Cross Marian who was hiding using Grave of Maria's power felt that immense power and heard that song...and the Cross Division arrived, accompanied by Chomesuke hearing that song too.
Not far from them, the Tiedoll Squad, Marie heard the song.
'Someone's...singing?' he gasped out.
'I don't hear any.' Kanda frowned.
'I can't make the language but the tune is something like this.' he said as he sang the song through 'la-la-la'. 'Its a young boy's voice singing it.'
'...looks like the Order found someone useful.' back to Cross, Cross mused as he could hear that song as powerful pulses spread enough to cover what he guessed were hundreds of kilometer in radius. He looked up from above the house he's staying on and estimated 1000 km. 'They'll be here soon...' he got up to get his boots, kicked off his straw slipped and put his boots on, and wore his Exorcist Uniform. Sure akuma within its range will be affected. But the Earl's info network through akuma is way too fast and efficient that thousands will gather soon.
'I wonder who's that?' Lavi croaked out as they heard a gentle, warm song sung beautifully. And its clearly a boy singing it, backed up by a non-human copy.
Tristitia est communis dolor
Cum omnibus amicis...
'Whatever that is, I hope we're going to be OK...what language is that even?!' Chaoji asked Lavi nervously.
'Its latin.' said Bookman as they listened to the song. 'And its a friendly. I don't think the Earl will sing something friendly.' he said wryly.
'I-I'm feeling a strong pull towards that song-cho!' Chomesuke gasped out. 'I'm somewhat resisting it because of my modification-cho but resisting it causes great pain-cho!' she cried in pain as she collapsed, hugging herself in a vain effort to comfort herself.
'But all those monsters are going to where the song is.' said Lenalee. 'Good for us because we can't fight right now because of me...' that, and at her current state, she's a burden due to what's going on to her legs that rendered her numb she could not feel nor move her legs at all which is why she wanted to avoid fighting if possible and despite that hopeful optimism, they're basically in a country of monsters with no way home but this song somehow brought them hope.
Per aspera vita beata
Causa vivendi...
'Indeed...I wonder if Marian or the Tiedoll Squad found someone powerful and useful.' Bookman remarked as Lavi carried Chomesuke who was in pain as they moved on ahead to also see a woman in pain.
'Kawamura!' Chomesuke cried.
'S-Sachiko...it hurts...that song hurts...' Kawamura gasped in pain while thrashing by the temple stairs. 'I-Innocence...'
Invenire credere
Magni momenti
Amoris aperiendi...
'I know...but at least its getting the Level 3s away from us!' Chomesuke gasped out, just-as-pained. 'Let's endure until its over! By then they're far away and gone!'
'O-OK...'
Fores aperiendi
Tempus est...
That part somehow made the pain in the two modifieds stronger that got them screaming as the pulses got stronger.
Certe...
The music and the song ended, and the modifieds were finally able to relax, their pain...over. Both were gasping in a bid to recover.
In the meantime...
A legion of level 3s covered the sky, heading for where Allen and Ronald are as the song ended.
'This is it Whitey!' Ronald swore as a lot of the monsters gathered. 'Can you handle all of this?!'
'I'll try my best. In the meantime make sure you survive this one too while doing your job.' Allen advised calmly as Ronald can only sweat buckets.
'I swear I'm not paid enough for this shit!' he wailed as he got his Death Scythe ready.
Madness ensued.
From afar, Cross Marian watched.
"Who are they?" he thought as he watched the pair who called all these Level 3s over. He glanced at Timcampy who wanted to fly over to them. 'What do you think?' he asked his golem companion that expressed itself clearly. 'I see...so after five shitty years we finally found him. Good timing too. For now, we wait.'
It took quite a long while as Ronald bashed the akuma, crippling them at least to get them off his back while Allen does the killing, using both his sword and the angel on his back that fires small energy balls. Into the fight, the Cross Squad comprising of Lavi, and Crowley joined the battle of what seems to be thousands of akuma.
'Looks like you guys can use some help!' said Lavi as he and Crowley came as reinforcements.
'Much obliged!' Ronald gasped out. 'I'm demanding a pay bonus for this!'
'You OK blondie?' Allen called out.
'I'm OK, I'm just getting pissed! They're damn late!' Ronald yelled crossly as while Allen kills, loads of cinematic records are all over the place. But the humans cannot see the records. Only Ronald can as only Angels, Demons and Shinigami can see the records but Allen is aware of their existence. 'I called long ago and they ain't here yet!'
'Maybe they're 'doing it' while you're helping out here so maybe its THEM who needs help not us!' Allen laughed. 'Think of the piles of films they're getting and not enough people to make sense of it all so if you ask me you got the better deal!' Ronald brightened up at that.
And he was right!
Elsewhere, Japanese Shinigami are trying to keep up with their work while muttering curses on how swamped they all are.
Not long into their battle, the Tiedoll Squad came.
'Boy oh boy, we sure are in quite a pickle.' General Tiedoll sighed as they arrived with a modified akuma with a bee form came with them. 'Marie, what can you hear?'
'I can hear...several voices. Some of which I'm sure do not belong to the Order or to the Noah.' said Noise Marie. 'The only ones who are ours are Lavi, Bookman, Lenalee, Miranda and Crowley. Two unknown teenage males...and several angry men speaking in a foreign language, grumbling but these men are too faint I could barely hear them. One of these unknown males is our singer from earlier.' he reported. 'All of them are fighting.'
'I see...you should go.' he instructed as Marie and Kanda ran off.
'Are you sure its OK sending away your guards like that?' the bee asked him.
'What a silly thing for you to say, seeing that you guys have made such a big show of it, couldn't this be your plan in the first place?' Tiedoll huffed petulantly. 'Am I right, Mr. Akuma?' the bee chuckled at that.
'But you'll still keep to our plan?'
'Well it can get troublesome if I owe Marian anything.' Tiedoll complained. 'We have our own reasons to be in Japan but well, I'll return the favor for bringing us here.' he sighed heavily, utterly in resignation that he has to make sure to pay back Cross Marian.
'I see...hehe, well this was one hell of a ride.' said the bee as its veins were showing. 'I'm getting hungry too so I'll be going now.' and it self-destructed, leaving Tiedoll alone.
'I guess you guys just redefined 'going out with a bang'...' he mused. '...I better see what's going on at front...' and he walked away.

Kanda and Marie joined the war as well...and it helps.
'Kanda! Marie!' Lavi exclaimed as its now six boys fighting. 'Is 'that guy' here too?!'
'He's here too and just as annoying.' Kanda grumbled.
'Now now Kanda, don't be like that...' Marie chided.
'Anyway, who's that blonde and white guy?' Kanda demanded, glancing at Allen and Ronald.
'We haven't gotten the chance to talk to them y'know?' Lavi griped. 'Anyhow fight now talk later! There's way too many of them!'
'Whitey, this is endless! Sing again will ya?! I'm getting pooped!' Ronald yelled.
'Ehhhh? But I need food again for that you know! I can't sing right now! I need to be full to be able to sing!'
'Da fuck?! You mean you're hungry again after eating enough for fifty binge-eaters not long ago?!' Ronald squawked as Lavi, Kanda and Marie choked at the revelation that the clearly-parasitic white-haired boy ate so much and is still alive to live to tell the tale when normally, a normal human would have DIED from overeating.
'Not quite. Just that 50% of my power is remaining and it costs 50% to sing! If I sing again, I'll be unable to activate and fight! All my songs require that much power.' Allen told him. 'So yes I can't sing right now!'
'Awww shit, then we gotta keep going!'
The Order Exorcists took note of THAT about this unknown Exorcist.
Soon...its all over...however, almost is almost for a good reason...until a malevolent presence appeared.
They all looked up to see the Noah sitting on the Castle Tower roof and Millennium Earl floating by hanging onto an umbrella...and a black orb he created grew...and grew!'
'Talk about...impudence!'
Edo blew up courtesy of that black orb...
'Uwah, scary there Earl...' Tyki Mikk, the Noah of Pleasure stared while shuddering at the power and destruction. 'Edo's all gone now...'
However...
Allen grabbed everybody and protected them inside his cloak and formed a protective ball.
'Its cramped in here!' Kanda griped as they were tightly packed in there and utterly...uncomfortable.
'Oh shut up, don't complain! If I make it bigger the defensive power will be weaker!' Allen retorted huffily. 'Blondie, how's our ride?' he asked Ronald nervously.
'Oh, I sent it on auto-pilot when I saw this coming. It'll be back for us later.' Ronald reassured him as the impact came on them and they bore the brunt of it.
Soon, Allen removed the cloak to see that Edo is all gone, nothing but smooth blackness for flooring. The only thing that remains now is a floating castle tower...and some akuma still!
The Exorcists were horrified but Allen and Ronald were pretty nonchalant about it.
'Aiya...good thing you sent away our carriage...everything's pretty much a goner...' Allen whistled. 'Hey blondie, I kinda got a bad feeling about this so stash our souvenirs elsewhere, and fill up the carriage with food, drink and medical needs for injuries.' he instructed. 'I got a feeling we'll need all of it in our short moment of reprieve soon.' the blonde nodded, if only eager to at least, get out of here and do an easier job.
'Alright, be going now.' and Ronald vanished.
'Wha?!' Crowley yelped. 'One man gone when it took all six of us to take care of everything?!' he complained at Allen.
'Well, he's more useful as support right now. We do the fighting as that guy isn't even an Exorcist but he's certainly built for akuma and Noah combat.' Allen shrugged. 'The problem is what happens if a non-innocence weapon kills these things and we're avoiding that under orders from our organization. He bashes and cripples, making it easier for us as a whole.'
'You guys aren't from the Order...?' Marie gasped out. 'Who are you?'
'Hummm...forbidden to say. We go by our hair color as our identities are classified.' Allen smirked. 'Call me Whitey and my friend who left is Blondie. That's all you'll get from me for now and while we're OK with helping you out, we don't exactly answer to you.'
'Tch! One way or another we'll get our answers but we got problems.' Kanda griped as the remaining Level 3s formed to become a giant akuma...in fact, six more of them!
That spoke three words as a pentagram circle formed on its back.
'Evil Star Gita...' and then its a volley of beam attacks that they were hard-pressed to avoid...because they're everywhere.
'Sonova!' Kanda swore as they barely avoided everything.
'...so this makes things a bit easier...several thousand into six easily targetable giants...not bad at all eh? Looks like blondie missed how things got so easy all of a sudden!' Allen laughed as his angel became a pair of leather bat wings with quite the wingspan with the 'leathery part' being sheer in appearance while the wingframe is a bit more solid-looking. He flew up and used his wings' shapeshifting ability to turn into a huge wing and cut a head in half...effectively killing it. He also slashed five more heads while flying back to the dumbstruck Order Exorcists while the Noahs also stared, just as dumbstruck.
'Who the hell is THAT?!' Devit, one part of Jasdevi squawked out while pointing at the mysterious white exorcist.
'Well, they must have gotten a new recruit?' Road, the Noah of Dreams reasoned.
'Yeah but he's not wearing an Exorcist Uniform!-hee?' Jasdero retorted while pointing at Allen too.
'In any case, he can simply just die too~' said the Earl. 'Go have fun~' Tyki, and Skinn lunged to fight as well.
Down below...
'That was...scary...' Lavi choked out. 'How high is your sync rate?!'
'Humm...I dunno. I was too busy training and fighting around that I keep forgetting to inquire about it...what a pain...' Allen put on quite the act but he knows what his sync rate is very well.
'You're lying.' Marie griped. 'Your heartbeat says so despite how well you spoke to hide it. Your heart rate rose. Liars' heart rates and breathing quickens. You can deceive the others but not me and my ears.' Allen looked at the clearly blind man and looked amused while Lavi and Kanda looked annoyed with him while Crowley looked like he was hurt with the lie.
'Heee? Sorry but that's classified too~ like I said we don't answer to other organizations either.' Allen drawled while in a thinking pose and Kanda looked ready to kill him for just being annoying. 'Oh come on now my beautiful dear~' he cooed as in a fast speed, he went casanova mode on Kanda to Lavi's horror with Kanda somehow in a lady's position. 'A frown and a snarl on the face does not go well with a natural beauty such as yours.'
'Get the fuck off me!' Kanda yelled as Allen dodged his angry attacks while looking jovial about it.
'Oh, a spitfire too...I wonder how you are in bed?' this question caused the exorcists to go red in the face in pure mortification while Kanda really, REALLY wanted to kill him. 'Probably the screamer type, noh?' Kanda is looking like a boiling lobster at this point in rage. 'Don't worry, I'll treat you re~al well since I'm quite experienced with beautiful male lovers.' Lavi now choked and feared for himself too as he hid behind Marie who squawked at this. 'I just don't like women.' unless its his foster mother and foster family, he finds women distasteful.
'DIE!' Kanda angrily attacked him, red-faced and embarrassed at his words and being put in such a position. But Allen is the more skilled between the two, and found an opportunity to even kiss him...much to comical horrors present.
Even Kanda had to admit he's a good kisser even if he pissed him off.
His real first kiss compared to this, is disgustingly wet and sloppy...and stinks of alcohol. Yep, his first kiss was from Didi Lejeune in his younger years when the dude was drunk in an Order Party and that disgusting memory was brought up, but he squashed it in favor of THIS kiss as a way to recover from that trauma. Allen was THAT good of a kisser and smells better. Lavi and Crowley can only watch, petrified and blushing.
'Marie, be glad you're blind because what we're seeing now is horrifying...' Lavi shivered.
'Eh?'
'Ohya? You're a pure beauty since you don't know how to kiss back.' Allen chuckled, snapping Kanda out of his shock and got him angrier than ever. 'You should learn how to kiss back one of these days darling~oh, we have company too. Noah incoming, yes?' he added as Tyki and Skinn were on their case...'Oh! Another beautiful man!' Allen exclaimed, gushing at Tyki who did a double-take at that. 'The other one? Not so much.' he scoffed. 'Butt ugly and he can just die but I'm taking this beauty home with me too~!'
Tyki now got creeped out.
'Oy oy...what's with this guy?' Tyki shivered as he backed away, unnerved by the masked exorcist.
'He likes beautiful men for lovers.' Lavi helpfully supplied. 'Congrats, you're on his 'to-bed' list.' Tyki's jaws dropped as Allen now gunned for him.
'I like women, not men!' he cried as he found himself running but Allen was too fast...and was put in a submissive position, helped with his cowl. 'Gah!'
'Oh come on now, I'll treat you well too~' Allen said lovingly, caressing his left hand on Tyki's cheek and the noah is freaking out when the other...went down south much to the horror of people present and Tyki was horrified that a boy years younger than him is copping a feel and he's damn good at it too. From the tower, the Earl, Road and the twins were gaping in stunned disbelief and shock.
They couldn't really fight as even Skinn is in shock.
'I-is that what I think it is, hee?' Jasdero choked out.
Road...
Squealed!
Now the Earl and the twins are gaping at her.
'That's just so hot!' she cried while blushing and suffering nosebleeds.
'Er Road, Tyki's about to lose his virginity down there...' Devit pointed out feebly. 'And you want a free show?!'
'Oh shuddup! You don't see this every day?!'
'But Road, Tyki-pon's helpless down there...' the Earl pointed out. 'Oh well, blackmail material is also good~!'
The twins wondered if these two are OK in the head by Noah standards...
And Tyki...well, he's very, very helpless as he got excited and in an embarrassing way before the Exorcists!
That does it!
He let loose his butterflies, and is very, VERY angry!
