Prologue

 

***************************************************************** ******************************

Allen winced as he woke up.

“Are you awake?” came a female voice.

 

“Yeah.” Allen nodded.

 

“Huh?” he blinked.

 

“Really.” The girl shook her head. “What was Koumi thinking when he sent you on this mission?”

 

“Ami-sempai…” Allen gaped at his senior.

 

“Where's the Akuma?” he asked as he climbed out of the rumble. “I've been out for a while. Where did he go?”

 

“He's so strong.” He added, wincing from his shoulder injury. “Can I really beat him? I've got to look for Kanda and the others.”

 

Ami raised an eyebrow.

 

That decided, the senior-junior-pair headed off.

 

***************************************************************** ******************************

Meanwhile, Kanda was hiding behind a wall.

 

“Who is it?” he demanded, reaching for his sword.

 

“I've returned.” Toma replied, stepping into view.

 

“Toma?” Kanda asked.

 

“The Ghost of Meteel?” Toma asked.

 

“He ran away.” Kanda replied.

 

“This is Timcanpy.” Toma added, revealed the demolished remnants of General Cross's Golem.

 

“Please show me the Akuma you saw, Tim.” Kanda requested after the Golem reformed.

 

“It's like a mirror.” He noted once Timcanpy showed the image of the evolved Akuma.

 

“Yes.” Toma replied.

 

“This Akuma has everything inverted.” Kanda added.

 

“Inverted, you say?” Toma echoed.

 

***************************************************************** ******************************

Meanwhile, Allen and Ami were running around the deserted town.

 

“Could… I have gotten lost?” Allen mused outloud before screaming in panic.

 

“Really.” Ami shook her head. “What was Koumi thinking?”

 

***************************************************************** ******************************

“It's pitch black.” Guzol remarked.

 

“Nobody knows this path.” Lala replied. “The Akuma and the Exorcist s will come this way.”

 

“I can't see a thing… are you okay, Lala?” Guzol asked.

 

“I'm fine. This way.” Lala replied. “I've always come down here. Ever since I was born into this world.”

 

“We're here, Guzol.” She added, leading into an underground auditorium.

 

***************************************************************** ******************************

Meanwhile, Kanda was still analyzing the evolved Akuma.

 

“Look at his body when he copied the new guy.” The older Exorcist added. “His weapons and clothes are backwards. Look at the fake that the new guy cut into half, he's backwards too. It didn't have any insides, it's only an outward appearance. It's as if he had a `copy' ability. He can copy off of something he sees and equip that mirrored image, to the extent where he can even use their abilities. All he'd have to do is to see the new guy transform and attack with his left arm. That bastard… letting himself be copied!”

 

“We should have search for Master Walker. If the Akuma copied him…” Toma voiced out.

 

“That's fine if he did.” Kanda replied. “He'll be reversed, so we'll be able to tell. He's a fool if he reveals himself like that.”

 

When the pair walked out, Toma gasped and pointed, “Master Kanda!”

 

“Kanda…” the newly-revealed Allen muttered.

 

“He's reversed…” Toma noted as Kanda prepared his attack.

 

“It seems you're quite a fool.” Kanda noted as he readied his attack.

 

“Master… Kanda…” `Allen' mumbled.

 

“Coming Apocalypse! Hell's Insects: First Illusion!” Kanda unleashed his attack.

 

“Return to nothingness!” he declared as his wraiths flew towards `Allen'.

 

Kanda gasped when several of his wraiths were frozen and the real Allen used his Anti-Akuma weapon to block off the rest.

 

“Master Walker… Lady Maris…” was about the fake Allen could get out before he fainted.

 

“You are…!” Allen gasped.

 

“New guy!” Kanda hissed. “What is the meaning of this? You little… why did you defend the Akuma?”

 

“Kanda…” Allen told him. “You know that I can see Akuma with my left eye, right?” Allen asked. “This person is not an Akuma!”

 

“What did you say?” Kanda gasped.

 

“In other words, we just stopped you from killing the real Toma.” Ami quipped as she stepped out.

 

“Is this how you greet people now, Yuu?” she teased.

 

“Not funny.” Kanda muttered.

 

“Really, what was Koumi thinking when he put both of you together?” Ami shook her head.

 

Then, Kanda noticed her drenched and disheveled hair.

 

“And what happened to you?” he raised an eyebrow.

 

“A wet, messy mission.” Ami replied.

 

At his amused smirk, she retorted, “Don't ask. I have no idea what Koumi was thinking, sending me on two consecutive missions right after I finished my training.”

 

Kanda's smirk widened.

 

“Master Walker…” the fake Allen moaned.

 

“There's a gap along his face… is this skin?” Allen inquired as he ripped the fake skin off.

 

“Toma!' he gasped.

 

“What?” Kanda was stunned.

 

“That Toma is the real Akuma, Kanda!” Allen shouted a warning.

 

His warning came too late when the evolved Akuma revealed himself, crashing Kanda against a nearby wall.

 

“Kanda?” Allen blinked.

 

“You little… when did you…” Kanda hissed.

 

“Ever since I met up with you.” The Akuma chuckled. “After I smashed that yellow Golem, I found this Toma guy. If I copied his figure, I figured I won't be discovered. You didn't notice this was a mirror image did you? And I made him wear the image of the white-haired guy. I'm so clever! My skin is like tracing paper. I got you good, didn't I Exorcist ?”

 

Kanda let out a smirk, only to have the Akuma slash him across the chest.

 

“He's dead! The Exorcist is dead!” the Akuma laughed.

 

”Like I'd die now…” Kanda replied. “I can't die… until… I tell that person…”

 

“Die!” the Akuma retorted, pummeling the injured Exorcist repeatedly.

 

“He died while he was standing!” the Akuma chuckled.

 

His triumph was cut short when Allen extended his arm, tossing the Akuma away from his comrade.

 

“How many times you try, it's no use.” The Akuma tsked as he stood up from the rubble.

 

“Another one of those evolved jerks I take it.” Ami inquired.

 

“Yeah.” Allen replied, before he leapt at the Akuma, sending them both crashing against the layers of walls.

 

“Remind me to tell the General to have you take anger-management courses.” Ami sighed.

 

“Kanda!” Allen gasped at his partner.

 

“He's alright!” the younger Exorcist sighed in relief.

 

“They won't be alright if this continues.” Ami replied.

 

“Allen, get Toma here.” She instructed.

 

“Ami-sempai…” Allen blinked.

 

“Hurry!' she urged.

 

Allen nodded and went back for Toma.

 

“Really.” Ami shook her head, once she was left alone with Kanda. “What was Koumi thinking?”

 

“He's Koumi…” Kanda chuckled somewhat painfully.

 

“Shut it, Yuu.” Ami rebuked.

 

***************************************************************** ***************

“Shit!' the Akuma hissed. “That bastard, he wasn't that strong before! What's going on?”

 

“Damn!” he cursed when he saw his targets had disappeared. “Where did they run off to?”

 

***************************************************************** ***************

Meanwhile, Allen was heaving Toma on his back as Ami supported the rather reluctant Kanda.

 

“Would you just quit complaining?” the 17-year-old girl scolded the older Exorcist.

 

“I don't need…” Kanda protested.

 

Ami glared harder and threatened, “One more word, and no you-know-what for the next two weeks.”

 

Kanda muttered curses under his breath.

 

“Master Walker… please leave me behind...” Toma requested. “You're injured too, aren't you? Leave me behind…”

 

“What are you saying?” Allen scolded. “I'd never do that!”

 

“I agree.” Ami added.

 

“Lady Maris…” Toma choked.

 

There's no way I can escape at this rate. Allen thought. If there's someplace I can hide out…

 

“Don't worry, I've created more than enough healing stones.” Ami assured the Finder.

 

“Allen.” She turned to her junior. “We need a hiding place.”

 

Allen nodded in agreement.

 

***************************************************************** ***************

Meanwhile, the Akuma was still finding his targets.

 

“Where are you?” he demanded. “Where have you gone, Exorcist?”

 

***************************************************************** ***************

Back underground, Lala removed her hat.

 

“I wonder if the fight is still going on?” she wondered outloud.

 

“Are you alright, Guzol?” she asked when her companion coughed out blood.

 

“Guzol, why did you say you were a doll?” Lala asked.

 

“I wouldn't want an outsider to break you, Lala.” Guzol replied.

 

“Guzol…” Lala wept as she hugged him/

 

“I'm sorry.” Guzol apologized as he coughed out more blood. “I wish to lie down.”

 

“Sure.” Lala replied, taking off his hat.

 

Guzol then laid down on Lala's lap.

 

“There's not much time left.” Lala noted as Guzol coughed out more blood. “Is there anything I can do?”

 

“Lala… I wish to sleep…” Guzol muttered.

 

“I understand… I'll sing you a lullaby.” Lala replied and begun to sing.

 

***************************************************************** ***************

 

“The Ghost of Mateel was a doll…” Kanda choked out. “They ran away. They must be hiding somewhere… we've to go after them.”

 

“Now, more than finding the doll, we've got to…” Allen interjected.

 

“Wait.” Ami interrupted.

 

“Huh?” Allen blinked at her.

 

“I can hear a song…” he gasped once the group fell silent.

 

Ami nodded, “What are the odds of that being the ones we're looking for?”

 

“Pretty huge.” Allen agreed as he dropped Toma.

 

“Why, from below?” he inquired as he felt the ground, hearing the wind whistling below them. “A wind? A wind from underground...”

 

“Yeah.” Ami agreed. “Wind carries sound, squirt. Thought you know that.”

 

Allen's attention was caught by something else as he walked a few feet away, fingering seven stone stabs that were different from the surrounding stone pavement.

 

“The wind is blowing.” He realized, feeling the wind blow beneath.

 

“I think we can hide down here.” He noted, removing the stone stabs and revealing a stairway underneath.

 

***************************************************************** ***************

Meanwhile, the Akuma was still searching for his targets.

 

“Where have you gone?” he called out, jumping off a roof. “Exorcist!”

 

“Damn…” he cursed when he landed.

 

***************************************************************** ***************

Meanwhile, the Exorcist group was heading underground.

 

“It just keeps going…” Allen noted as he descended down the stairway.

 

“Aw!” he winced. “How far down does it go?”

 

As the group reached the bottom of the stairs, Allen and Ami were alerted by the singing voice again.

 

“It's a song.” Allen noted as they neared an arched door.

 

“Guess we know where to go.” Ami remarked.

 

“Yeah.” Allen agreed.

 

It was not long before the group found themselves in the underground auditorium. Both senior and junior gaped as the moonlight shone on the singing Lala.

 

Allen recalled what Toma had told him. In an arid climate, beneath the blazing sun, Mateel was once called `The Land Forsaken by God' by everyone. The townspeople of Mateel, living in despair and agony, in order to take their minds off of things for a moment, created dolls. Dolls that were able to dance and sing. And even though the village fell into ruin and the people disappeared, the dolls still moved. That is… the Ghost of Mateel!

 

When Lala finished her song, she turned and was shocked to find the Exorcist group standing at the entrance.

 

“You've come…” she remarked.

 

“You are the doll…” Allen commented. “The Ghost of Mateel, correct?”
