Don't cry

[The Ghost of Martel]
Here's your B-set!
C-set!
A-set! Sorry for the wait!
Love
Well then...
What will you have~?
Ooh, a new boy~?
Ah, and what a cute one you are!
Nice to meet you!
My name is Allen Walker!
Well, how nice and formal!
What'll it be?
I'll make you anything you like!
Anything, eh?
Well then...
I'll have Au Gratin potatoes, french fries, fry curry,
mabodofu, beef stew, meat pies, carpaccio, nashigoren,
chicken, tuna salad, some scones, a kuppa, a tomyank and rice...
Then for dessert I'll have a mango pudding and some roasted dumplings...
Let's say twenty of them!
Can you really eat all that?
Just say that again, to my face!
Hey, stop it, Buzz.
That's...
This Illusion will rend you in two
Shut up
Don't lurk around talking about your dead friends while I'm eating.
You'll ruin my appetite.
You...
Is that how you treat your allies?!
We finders work beneath you exorcists, supporting you at the risk to our very lives!
You... You...
You say that ruins your appetite?!
You support us?
No, you can do nothing but support us!
You were unfit to be exorcists.
You're just losers whom the Innocence refused to choose!
There are plenty of replacements available for you finders.
If you don't want to die, then get out!
Stop
I hate to barge into an argument in which I have no say,
but I think your tone is simply unnecessary.
Let me go, beansprout.
Beansprout?
My name is Allen.
I'll remember that, if you make it a month without biting the dust.
Many die here like maggots under a blowtorch.
Like them...
That tone is unnecessary.
Don't touch me, cursed one.
You'll die young. I hate your type.
Well, I return your sentiment.
There they are, Captain Reever.
Ah, yes, there they are.
Kanda! Allen!
Come to the commander's room.
You've got a mission.
Supervisor!
Supervisor Komui!
Lenalee says she's getting married.
Lenalee!
How could you get married without telling your dear brother?! I'll never allow it!
Sorry about this.
That's the only way to wake him up you see.
Well then.
We haven't got much time, so you two will have to go right after this briefing.
You two?!
Me, with the cursed one?!
That's right, the two of you, as a team.
What, you don't get along then?
Well, think about what happened when they met.
I'll not listen to your complaints.
We have discovered a fragment of Innocence in southern Italy,
but it would seem that the Akuma have taken notice, and are targeting it.
Proceed with all haste to the scene, destroy the enemy, and capture the Innocence.
You'll have to read the manuals on the way for the specifics.
That is all.
Do I have to wear this?
It's something like the badge of an exorcist.
It's made for battle, so it's pretty tough.
Timcanpy!
Where have you been?
I had him show me your past.
Timcanpy is able to record images into himself.
See you!
Bye!
W-Wait!
No time!
The train approaches!
We're riding that?!
Getting on a moving train...
We always get on this way.
U-Um...
We're from the Black Order.
We should have a reservation.
Ah, excuse me! I'll lead you there!
R-Reservation?
What an amazing cabin!
Our destination is the south of Italy, the ancient city of Martel...
That city has been abandoned for sometime, hasn't it?
Target: The ghost of Martel...
Ghost?
What does a ghost have to do with the Innocence?
You just made fun of me, didn't you?!
No
You did!
Paranormal phenomena often occur around the Innocence.
Paranormal?
The Innocence has created many, many phenomena since the time of the great flood.
Throughout the ages, people have found and used it in its various forms,
as though drawn to it.
We don't know why, but it always seems to create some kind of paranormal event.
Then, this ghost business may be the Innocence's doing, as well?
Yes.
Wherever phantoms reside, so does the Innocence.
So, the Order dispatches finders to such locations to find it.
Was it so with the Ghost of Martel?
Yes, it was.
I'm Allen Walker.
I am finder Toma, and I will be your guide for this mission, Lord Walker.
You've been doing this all this time.
It's a hobby.
Is it any fun?
Lord Walker, do you know the story of the Ghost of Martel?
No
It goes as such:
In the ancient city of Martel, there resides a ghost.
It was once a citizen of Martel,
and in order to ease its loneliness, it draws anyone who comes near the city to it.
That's quite a common story.
We finders are dispatched at even the hint of such a rumour.
We determine the truth behind it,
and it is our job to stay there for months on end,
until we verify if there is indeed Innocence present.
Most of the time, it's just fairy tales and hokum.
Even if there is some truth to them, though,
there is no guarantee that the Innocence has anything to do with it.
But...
Unlikely though it be,
if we discover an Innocence fragment...
At that time,
we take the stage.
We'll be there soon.
Over there!
Pull it closer, and catch it!
More! More!
Good girl, that's good!
Got them!
They're trapped in the barrier!
We should be able to buy enough time for the exorcists to get here.
Very well, but are there really only two Akuma?
That is what our intelligence indicates.
What the hell is this?!
No, stop them! The barrier!
The unit outside has been annihilated...
Wh-What are we going to do?!
If we can just get the Akuma into the barrier...
It's no good.
We haven't the strength to take on an Akuma, being even fewer in number than the outer unit.
But, it's only a matter of time until they find us!
Guzol...
Lala... Run!
No
I'll be all right.
I'll stay with you, Guzol.
I have an idea, as a sort of last resort.
We must protect the Ghost of Martel at all costs.
Hold on until the exorcists get here!
Any good, Toma?
It's not connecting.
Hurry.
What is this chilling air?
Can you see the Akuma?
My left eye can reveal an Akuma in hiding.
Well, the soul said Akuma uses, to be precise.
A cursed eye?
I'll tell you this before we get there, Bean-sprout.
I have no chivalrous ideas like you.
Even if you are on the verge of death, I will leave you to die, if it means the completion of my mission.
Don't think we're friends, and don't try to protect me.
Sacrifices are a matter of course, in combat.
What a terrible thing to say...
Let's go
You still can't get through?
No
That's odd.
The finder team has a barrier generator in their possession.
They should have been able to survive, at least.
That's the generator, over there!
The Ghost of Martel?
Then, the finders...
They used the barrier generator to protect the Ghost.
To protect it until you exorcists got here...
No..
It was the best strategy.
Indeed.
What's that light?
They're still alive!
Lord Walker!
Leave him.
We must hurry.
The barrier will not hold.
Exorcist...
Idiot!
He stormed in, without a single thought to strategy.
Let's go, Mugen!
Draw!
Innocence, activate!
Illusory Technique. Herald of Woe.
Beasts of the Underworld!
Hey, what's the code to de-activate the barrier?
So you came for us, exorcist?
Answer me quickly, if you do not want your death to be in vain.
Have hope.
Have hope...
Thank you, exorcist.
Have you come to save us?
So this is the Ghost of Martel.
Good job, Timcanpy.
It's too strong!
That's...
What?
The soul within keeps changing...
I am an Akuma!
It spoke!
I think, therefore I am an Akuma!
Thank you so much for setting me free.
I've leveled up!
You're an evolved Akuma?
Very good!
Kanda?
I won't help you.
This is your fault, for acting on your emotions.
Take care of it on your own.
That's fine.
That the Innocence is with you puts me at ease.
I'll come after you when I've defeated the Akuma.
Defeated?
Me?!
Toma, watch over him.
Lord Walker?
That Akuma.
Very well.
He can't win against that thing.
So, the ghost got away?
That's fine, I'll get them later.
I'll just kill you first!
It is I who will do the killing.
No, this isn't the Akuma!
A fake?!
Here!
Over here!
There are...
two of me?!
Me o tojite
Close your eyes.
Night growing
kogoeru kuchibiru kande
Biting my shivering lips,
futari kata o yoseau
I put my shoulder on yours.
Saigo ni kimi o mita hi o
The day when I last saw you,
kikoku no soko ni kakushita
is hidden deep in my memories.
Mizuumi no ue
On the lake,
aruita ano wonderful view
we walked along that wonderful view.
Snow Kiss
kono mama kimi to goodbye nante iwanaide
Don't tell me goodbye just now.
Aitai kimochi toka torenau kizuato
My feelings towards you left me a permanent scar.
Kesanaide
Don't try to erase it.
Preview
The Akuma used the lives of the finders to propagate a terrifying change.
Its ability to copy our appearances leads us into a deadly dilemma.
On the next D.Gray-Man:
Aria of the Old Man of Earth and the Night Sky
Pitiful Akuma, let your soul be saved!
