Chapter 1: Allen Is A Noah
Chapter Text
Allen POV
Everything had changed after everyone found out I had a Noah living inside me. People would purposely find a reason to walk out of the room when I entered, avoid looking at me in the halls as they rusted by, refuse to go on missions with me….. They saw me as a traitor, as an enemy.
“Allen!” Lenalee Called
Well not everyone, but most people. After all, the people that mattered most haven't changed at all. Lenalee, Lavi, Bookman, Miranda and Krory, the science department, Komui, and even Kanda and Noise Marie. They all treated me the same as always, and that's what kept me going. If I had them, my family, I would be okay. With them it didn't matter
“Hey Lenalee” I turned around and greeted her, Timcampy going and flying around her head as his sign for hello
“My brother asked me to bring you to his office, he has a mission for you.” Lenalee said smiling brightly at me
“Ok lets go.” I said as I turned around and started to walk with her.
As we walked I did my best to ignore all the glares and whispers, trying to focus on what Lenalee was saying. But it was hard. I really just wanted to run to Komui’s office so I could get out of here, and at that thought I sighed. I never thought Id wish to leave my supposed home so badly…. Lenalee, seeing me down asked what was up, but I didn't tell her. She would try and fix it, but it would probably just end up getting worse. I was thankful she didn't push, and instead let me redirect her by asking about my mission even though I was sure she didn't know. And once we reached Kumoi’s office, well I was more than in a bit of a rush to leave. SO after a very quick briefing I was off. My travels take me to Rome in search of Innocents. I was happy I was going alone, though while Komui didn't say it I knew someone was originally supposed to be on this trip with me. A finder and another exorcist most likely due to the amount of Akuma I encountered. But they must have refused.
***TIME SKIP TO AFTER MISSION***
I was about to knock on Komui’s office door when I heard them. Everyone was in there talking, about me, about faking being my friend.
“I don't know how much longer I can pretend.” I heard Lenanlee say, hearing a few humms of agreement, “I mean he’s the enemy, why do we have to act like friends?” She asked
“What would you suppose we do then?” I heard Komui ask, though it was rhetorical “We cant just kill him, the Pope wants him alive, so if we killed him….it’d look bad.”
“Can't we at least lock him up?” Miranda asked, nervousness and fear etched into her voice
“Unfortunately no. if we did he might not follow orders if the Pope wants to use him against the Earl.” Lavi said, clear disdain for me evident in his voice “Though I dont we will need him. And he's the enemy, I don't know what the Pope is thinking, but he’s insane if he thinks that Monster would be any help to anyone.”
“I'm just glad he’s away right now.” Miranda said, the others agreed.
It hurt, it hurt so badly. I almost opened the door and said something. But I didn't, I turned promptly on my heels and walked to my room. Once there I broke down, the pain hurting too much. I can't believe they thought I was a monster. They were supposed to be my friends….my family.
“Let me out Dear Nephew, and I’ll make them all pay” The Fourthtenth’s, Neah’s, voice rang in my head
“NO!” I yelled at him “I will never let you take control.” And with those words I did my best to block him out.
It was hours later, once I had finally calmed down and my eyes didn't look like I had just bawled for years, did I come out of my room and report to Komui that there was no Innocents in Rome. Now that I knew they were pretending I could so easily see the fakeness in their smiles, in their kind words and ‘friendship’. I didn't let them know I knew. They probably would lock me up then. No, I'd go on with my life and keep everyone at a distance. It didn't matter that they were being terrible, I knew it was all because of the supid Noah in me causing them fear. Besides we had the same enemy, The Millinium Earl. His goal was to destroy the world, and I wouldn't let that happen. Whether they were my friends or not, we needed to work together to make sure the Earl didn't win.
That's what I thought anyway……
***WITH THE NOAH’S***
3rd Person POV
“Thank you for joining me for dinner, my dear family. “ The Earl smiled brightly at his clan of Noah, all finally united (Except for Wrath AKA Skin Bolic) “I want to talk about our dear friend Allen Walker. As you all know he’s the host for the Fourththenth, my dear Neah. We will be setting up a little show for all the Exorcists, to bring Allen home. I need all of you to do your best.” The Earl laughed as he then gave each Noah their part in the plan, before excusing them from the table, all but Tiki and Road who were asked to stay behind.
“Lord Millinum?” Tiki questioned once the others left, confused as to why he and Road needed to stay behind
“Tyki-pon, Road dear, I want you two to take turns watching over our Allen-kun. I don't want you to approach him, just watch over him.” Lord Millinum said
“Of course Lord Millinum.” Road yelled excitedly “I'm so happy Allen will be joining us, I cant wait to have someone to play with.” Road started giggling, smiling and telling them over and over how happy she was
With both of them agreeing they left the Millinum Earl alone in the dining room, going to the ark door near the Black Orders European Branch Headquarters. The Earl back in the dining room had another matter to deal with. Standing from the table he too left the dining room, but headed into another direction. To a room that has not been used for 35 years. This room was to be Allen Walkers, and the Earl was going to make sure it was ready for him when he finally came home.
Chapter 2: No Longer An Exorcist
Chapter Text
Allen POV
“Ark gate Adara!” I yelled, closing the hand I had raised over my head, at my words the ark gate Kanda and Alma fell into closed and began to crumble
I hadn't realized it at the time, but those words sealed my fate. I went to try and save Tokusa since the Alma gene was still spewing hatred for the order, feeding the creature he had become. As I tried saving him, Lvellie was yelling at me for sending Alma and Kanda away, demanding that I open the gate because we had to kill Alma….but I knew that like the Lord Millennium said, Alma was already dead…. In the end I couldn't save Tokusa, the damn watchdog getting in my way, and not listening to me no matter how much I tried to tell him. In the end I was left there bound and having to watch as Millennium took Tokusa and the other remaining thirds……
I sighed at the memory, I'm currently locked in a cell in the European branch headquarters. If my guess is right, I've been here a week. Everyday someone would come in and bring me food and ask me questions but I refuse to say anything. I refuse to eat and drink as well, worried they would lace it with something to make me talk. It didn't matter that Kanda wasn't really my friend, just like all the other pretenders, I wouldn't give them his location. I know that Kanda hated the Order too, and what they did to him and Alma…..No one was going to bother Kanda…that’s if he was still even alive. I am brought out of my thoughts by the door of my cell banging open, revealing Lvellie and a handful of crows. The crows march over and unchain me, then they grab my arms and start to drag me along with them as we leave the cell….
My mind was racing. Why were we going there? Were they going to take Crown Clown? I wouldn't let them…..But how would I stop them? I don't know but I won't let them. Or were they finally gonna try to kill me? I am brought out of my thoughts as we reach the platform to go down to Hevlaska’s chamber….I take a deep breath as it takes us down, I see Hevlaska first and then I see the Generals stationed above her….This is bad…
“Great Generals, I bring Allen Walker to trial.” Lvellie said once the platform stopped, a trial…he was gonna try and kill me…
“What are his crimes?” One of the Generals ask, though I can't tell who
“He has betrayed the order, there is a Noah inside him an-” Lvellie started yelling but was cut off by one of the Generals
“It is already known he has a Noah inside of him.”
“Yes but he also assisted in Alma’s freeing and will not tell anyone where he is!” Lvellie barked “Not to mention that he disobeyed direct orders by using the Ark Gate! He also refuses to answer any questions, he too knows he’s guilty!” Lvellie was angry that the Generals didn’t immediately agree with them, but then again he has always wanted to get rid of me, he probably views this as his chance….
“Allen Walker.” One of the Generals called, my eyes snapping to them “Do you have anything to say?”
I paused for a moment, unsure if anything I could say would make them understand….I had considered not saying anything, keeping with my defiant silence, but then I heard Lvellie whisper under his breath saying that I wouldn't talk….So to piss him off I decided to…
“Alma was basically dead when I sent him through the Ark Gate, it was simply so no one could try using him again in his final moments, and to let him and Kanda spend them together.” I said simply, I could hear Lvellie growl at me talking and had to suppress my grin..
“So you don't deny I used the Ark Gate without permission!” Lvellie yelled pointing an accusing finger at me
“Would it have been better had Lord Millennium had taken Alma’s body like he had with the Third Exorcist’s?” I asked and I could see Lvellie practically fuming beside me
“You still disobeyed a dir-” Lvellie started shouting as he marched over and grabbed me by the collar, but he was cut off by the Generals
“Lvellie.” One of the Generals called to him in almost a reprimand, he instantly let go of me with a hard shove “Allen Walker makes a valid point, had the Millennium Earl gotten ahold of Alma it could cause serious backlash….However Allen walker this doesn't excuse you of using the Ark without permission. We the Generals will need time to come to our final verdict. However as of now we do not believe Allen Walker has been taken over by the Noah, so he will not be executed.” The General stated, I sighed in relief
“But Walke-” Lvellie stated yelling but was cut off
“Lvellie, Allen Walker has been a great asset to the Order. We do not see it necessary to execute him. However that does not mean Allen Walker is free of any charges. He is not to leave his cell, and his Exorcist status is temporarily suspended. He will be under guard at all times. This order stands until we can be assured that the Noah within him isn't in control.”
“And if that Noah does present itself?” Lvellie asked through gritted teeth
“Then Allen Walker will be publicly executed.” The General's final words ended the trial and I was promptly escorted back to my cell.
I should be happy that I get to live, but I feel like this sentence might be worse than death….
***WITH THE NOAH’S***
3rd Person POV
The Noah were antsy. It had been three weeks and the Earl still layed in bed, angered and upset about the failed retrieve of Allen Walker. Road did her best to comfort the Earl but it only worked a little, only being able to give him sweet dreams. The family decided to go back to their human life's to keep up appearances, each taking turns to watch the Order for Signs of what was happening. Not to mention also taking turns entertaining their guests. They held Bookman and Lavi captive. Taking turns asking questions about the order and history of the Noah from 35 years ago, but their main questions were about Allen Walker. Because while they were all skeptical about the Fourthtenth, the one slip up Lavi made about the order only keeping Allen alive while he was useful, didn't sit well with any of them. So they were questions about the Branch layouts, where Allen was being kept, when his next mission should be, and any other detail about Allen’s life to work on a way to get Allen to the Noah’s.
