Ireland - Unintentional Mass

((....wait...did you mean 'crape' and not crap?.......you made a little mistake if you did....lol....

....also, on a side note, Allen should be able to notice the souls in the stone of Masque's staff, though they aren't hurt or anything......))

Masque watched as Lavi appeared in front of him, "I'm going to investigate, what about you?"

*Masque continues as he walks past Lavi toward the direction the Akuma came.*

(( I didn't know there was souls in his staff, but I guess Allen's more suspicious now that you told me...? xD ))

"Allen!" *Kaele exclaimed, running over to the cart after him as Lavi ran the opposite way. He turned around, holding two apples and smiling.*

"Here, I got one for you too." *He tossed the fruit at her as a group of finders went up to the cart. Kaele glanced at the red apple for a moment in confusion.*

"What's wrong..?" *She mumbled incredulously, not trusting his happy facade. He sighed, thinking it wasn't even worth the effort. Allen's face became serious as he cupped his hand around her ear.*

"That man has souls. They're in his--"

"Souls??" *Kaele exclaimed, remembering France. Allen shushed her as the exorcists and finders glanced around uneasily. She went on in whispers;* "Yan's dragon mentioned something about that!"

"I would think so. Let's go get Yan and Lavi to make sure we all keep an eye on him so he doesn't get more souls." *Allen said with a beaten sigh, taking a bite. Kaele figured he was meloncholic about the souls, but she skipped behind him, trying to think of a way to save them. She skipped on past Allen and Yan, going over to Lavi and Masque.*

"What's going on?" *Kaele asked, trying to sound indifferent as her vision seemed to always drift over to the staff.*

*The dragon heard there conversation and cried out with frustration "IT"S YUKI!" but they seemed to ignore him. "Calm down" Yan said looking down at him with a sigh, Yuki mumbled in a low manner "fine but it is your anger I'm getting".*

*Yan walked over to Allen "your area is telling me your unhappy, so what's the matter?"Yan said after she went up to him.*

*Allen sighed, glancing at Kaele and Lavi and then back at his apple. He took in a deep breath.* "It's nothing really." *He turned the apple over, finding a big brown spot with a hole through the fruit to the core. Allen sighed again, throwing the apple into an alley then looking back at Yan, he said;* "I'm just stuck in the past."

*Lavi watched curiously as Masque hopped over the building and zoomed toward the direction the swarm came from.*

Then he spoke aloud, though he was nowhere near anyone, "Hey Noise. Keep an ear out for that guy, okay?"

*Noise just nodded as he noted the strange man's position as Lavi started walking toward Allen, Kaele, and Yang.*

"Your unhappy about the souls that surrounds Masque's staff" Yan said with a sigh of sadness. Yuki jumped up on Yan's head then over to Allen's, he hoped he would not get freaked out or anything.*

*Timcanpy flipped out, hiding inside Allen's jacket from Yuki. Allen didn't notice, he just sighed.*

"Yes and no. I am disoriented because of that man but it's not exactly what's irking me right now." *He explained while glancing towards another fruit cart. Allen walked over to another, buying a new apple. He offered one to Yan. As he looked over her shoulder, Allen could see Masque within 20 feet of Kaele. Why can't she sense the souls he has?? She always had a sixth sense! Maybe it's not her... Maybe Masque has something that keeps people from sensing them, only a few like me can tell...*

*Allen snapped out of his thoughts when the store keeper took the apple from his hands he had been offering to Yan for a couple minutes now. He stepped away from the cart flushed.*

*Yuki looked at Timcanpy oddly and blinked*

*Yan saw Yuki and Timcanpy over on Allen's head as he walked over, Yan soon fallowed and didn't know that he kindly offered the apple*

*Yan happily accepted the apple "I don't like Masques area, but hes also not a hard one to find with the souls around his staff" Yan said looking down as the apple that was handed to her*

"I don't know, I think he's got some other magical thing that keeps people from sensing the souls. As far as I know, only your dragon, you and I have been able to tell." *Allen explained, pausing to take a bite of his apple. His head felt heavier with Timcanpy and Yuki, which he couldn't remember the name of. He swallowed, continuing;* "Kaele was only suspicious because of your dragon, and she still isn't taking the proper precautions she should be taking with a guy like that."

*Kaele, meanwhile, glanced over at Yan and Allen, already half done with her apple. She stared down at it with a sigh.*

*Yan took a bite out of the apple "well, . . .no one see a dragon like Yuki come out and hang with humans, and your right but some times you feel like you need not to be what you think you must" Yan said after she took another bite of her apple.*

*"Your the fist the Yuki ever went on the heads of people other then my Family, I think he likes you" Yan said happily because he never really liked humans that much.*

*Allen didn't really understand the meaning of Yan's words. He was about to ask what she'd said when she mentioned how Yuki probably liked him. He laughed.*

"Yuki's your dragon, right? Of course he likes me! Kaele always laid on my head on long train rides, and Timcanpy loves it. No wonder even dragons love my head." *He explained, thinking Yan meant Yuki liked his hair.*

*Yan looked at him while she felt her face go a bit red (blushing) "that's not what i mean, he does not know you that well, and he only goes on peoples' shoulders not heads,and yes he is my dragon. . "Yan said trying to get Allen to understand*

*Allen paused for a moment, letting it sink in. Then he shrugged.* "Eh, whatever." *He threw his apple core into the alley again, accidentally hitting a cat. He winced in guilt.* "... I think I'm going to see what Masque is doing..."

* Yan sighed. Yuki went over to Yan's head then went down to her shoulder and wined. She took the last bite out of her apple then dropped it "okay . . ." Yan said then went over to Kaele and sighed again*

"Allen!" *Kaele exclaimed when she saw him walking over sullenly. She dropped her apple in Lavi's hands, running up to Allen while pulling the ribbon out of her silk hair.* "Allen, I'm so sorry! I didn't mean it, I..." *She sighed, tieing the ribbon around his neck in a bow tie. She smiled weakly, her left eye welling with a tear. She wiped it away with a light laugh, thinking she was a complete baby.*

"Eh? Don't cry, you didn't do anything wrong! I was being touchy, you don't need to tie it.." *Allen exclaimed, getting quieter as he seemed to keep talking. Kaele backed away when she was done tieing the ribbon, thinking nothing of it. He sighed, pulling lightly on it to make it looser.*

*Lavi threw Kaele's apple at Allen, exclaiming in an annoying voice she often used;* "Kawaii dayo~!" *Kaele took the apple from Allen's hand, chucking at Lavi as hard as she could. He ducked, but it still his shin. She laughed, almost rolling over.*

*Masque looked ahead from the building he stood upon, seeing a lone figure on another rooftop in the distance. It strangely had an odd resemblance to Masque.*

"Hello?" called out Masque questioningly.

"Hello?" responded the figure.

"Great, a clone." said Masque sarcastically.

"Great, an original." replied the figure in the same tone, "Time to trade places."

*Then, it waved its staff, causing a string to attach to Masque, shocking him, causing him to faint. The figure came over hopping from building to building, looking identical to Masque. Then he kicked him down the side of the building and headed over toward the group of Excorcists.*

"Something is wrong." spoke Noise as he heard what happened, unsure what to think of what he heard, paying close attention to the figure.



"Time to cause some mischeif!" shouted the imposter to himself.


((You can use him like an NPC. He's an Akuma who can clone himself. He made it so his soul is in the staff, but his aura is way different than Masque's. Have fun. Heh.))

"Masque?" *Lavi asked, pleasantly surprised that he'd come back for more questioning. As he came closer, Lavi's ears rang slightly, as did Kaele's. Allen noticed a new soul inside the man's staff. He glared as the gear-like mechanism appeared on his eye. Kaele sighed, hoping he wouldn't start ranting about souls.*

"What were you doing, Mr. Masque de La Lune?" *Allen asked in a polite, yet threatening tone.*

"Ufufu." *The masked man chuckled, in what sounded like a different tone completely than what he usually talked in, that which sounded like a circus ring-master.* "I was merely changing my clothes, you see?" *'Masque' gestured towards his hat, which had gained an Ace of Spades playing card and a peculiar looking flower not native to Ireland.*

*Allen stared at the man incredulously, thinking he might have multiple personalities.*

*Lavi was utterly confused right now as he heard the man's ridiculous answer, and his expression showed it.*

"You went to change...your hat?" he asked, trying to piece together just why the man had left determined to look for the cause of Akuma and had instead came back with a new hat.

"Ufufufu," he responded happily, as though this were an everyday thing, "Of course. I wanted to look my best for the show!"

"Eh? Show?" spoke Lavi dumbfounded, thinking that Masque had lost his mind somehow.

*Noise turned his head around as he heard something in the distance. Allen's eye also reacted. Behind the direction 'Masque' had come from, many Akuma seemed to be coming, causing destruction and chaos as the moved.*

"Akuma." spoke Allen aloud as he activated his arm.

"Time for the show to begin!" grinned the man, posing as Masque.

*Yan walked up to the Cloned Masque while giving him a straight face "You!"She said with anger as Yuki showed his teeth while he growled "how did you know that the Akuma were coming" Yan said again with anger as she activated her Innocence*

*Kaele ignored Masque, so confused that it was making her head hurt. She invoked her flames, raveling them around herself like blue ribbons. I hope fighting clearing my head, geez... Allen leapt forward, morphing his enlarged arm into an Innocence firing gun. Kaele followed, glancing behind herself to see all of the other exorcists invoking their Innocences and leaping to the fight as well, along with finders running towards the fight by the ground to observe.*

*Kaele sighed, shouting in a playful tone;* "I think all these exorcists in the same place was a bad idea! We all have reasons to fight, but we have to fight ourselves!"

*Lavi was not far behind them on his hammer, chuckling.* "I agree. None of us even got to even touch an akuma last time! What bullshi--"

"Dirty mouth!" *Kaele exclaimed in a pseudo-serious tone, smacking his shoulder. Allen glanced over, rolling his eyes as he delivered the first blow on the hoards of akuma, his arm roaring like a machine gun.*

The clone just smiled at Yang and the others as he twirled his staff overhead, "How else?"

*Then he slammed it down on the ground, opening up a portal on the ground. From the portal, a bunch of level 1 Akuma appeared, as well as some level 2's. Many exorcists turned their attention to them as the portal grew larger.*

*when the clone said 'how else' she felt anger build up in side of her, she had a delay reaction to attack him but by the time, there was a portal in front of her. Yuki blew fire out from his tiny mouth into the portal, killing some of the Akuma that came from it.*

*Yan tried to to to the clone but there were to many around her though Yuki helped by burning them out of her way*

*Lavi heard the little dragon's fire breath, a weird sound among the explosions and clanking akuma corpses.* "Not good!!" *He exclaimed, facing towards the 'Masque' who had opened the gates to more akuma. Allen and Kaele could already guess what was happening.*

"You stay here and fight these while I go over there and take care of Masque, alright?" *Allen ordered, flipping back and bulldozing through the akuma in his way. For a moment, Kaele became flustered and lost concentration. God, you're so retarded, Kaele!! She scolded herself before slicing through an already exploding akuma.*

* Yan saw Allen come to her "Allen be careful he's not him self"Yan called over to him, then turned over to the clone still inching closer to him. "It's useless. . . "The clone said, Yan got at bit angry and lunged towards him cutting any Akuma that got in her way*

"I've known for a while that this 'Masque'," *Allen paused, shooting his arm machine gun through the portal's flow of akuma so he could get to the other side where Yan and the copy were. He continued to speak as he aimed the gun at it's head.* "is just a phony."

*'Masque' stood there for a moment, his eyes wide. But then he put his palm over his eyes to mask his laugh. Allen cocked his head, curious and a bit confused.* "Ahaha, haha haaaaah." *The clone ended his laugh with a long sigh, smirking at the young boy.* "A phony, eh? So my act wasn't up to par for you? Maybe I'll have to try harder next time... When we're both in hell!!"

*He jumped up, landing on the ground with a thunderous boom, shaking the earth like a rock tumbler. Cracks appeared in the ground, revealing the masses of akuma hidden beneath the surface. All of the exorcists began to fight them, the townspeople shrieked in fear, the finders becoming more and more scattered. But among all the noise, the area around the 'Masque' seemed ominously silent. Kaele and Lavi had found there way back into the group, among Miranda, Kanda, Chaoji, and 2 finders. Allen still had his arm pointed at the clone. Everyone was waiting for him to shoot, but for some odd reason, Allen didn't seem like he wanted to.*
