Chapter 4

Synopsis
Allen is climbing up the side of a sheer cliff, asking himself why “they” would build “that thing” at the top. When Allen reaches the top of the cliff, he sits back and stares up at his destination: The Black Order.

When he realizes how sinister the building is, he asks Timcampy if said building is really where they’re headed.

Elsewhere, a group of people stare at a monitor, watching Allen and wondering who he is.

A man in a beret and holding a cup of coffee (Komui Lee) asks why the group let an outsider get so far and why they didn’t “make him fall” off of the cliff.

A young female (Lenalee Lee) points out that Allen is traveling with Timcampy, who they know as “General” Marian Cross’ golem.

Allen then speaks to a nearby bat-like golem, introducing himself and asking to meet with the head of staff.

Reever asks Komui about it, but Komui claims he doesn’t know what Allen is talking about.

When Allen is told, by way of the same black golem, to be examined by the Gatekeeper, a face between the two giant doors Allen is standing in front of leans forward, its eyes glowing as it begins to determine whether Allen is to be allowed in or not.

The Gatekeeper notices Allen’s cursed eye and panics, shouting “HE’S OUT!” and setting off all of the alarms in the building.

Allen is stunned, and the now crying Gatekeeper goes on saying that Allen’s eye bears the pentacle mark of the Akuma, deducing from this that he is one of the Millennium Earl’s minions.

This shocks everyone inside, and when they get ready to call for an Exorcist, Lenalee Lee points out on the screen that Yu Kanda is already outside.

Kanda jumps out of the building and lands on top of the gate, drawing his sword. Before Allen can defend himself, Kanda attacks.

When Allen blocks with his Innocence invoked, it takes damage, making Allen pause and wonder something.

Kanda asks what Allen’s arm is, and Allen explains that it’s his Anti-Akuma weapon. Incensed by this, Kanda turns his anger on the Gatekeeper, who defends himself by saying that they won’t know for sure if they don’t inspect Allen’s “insides”.

Allen tries to defend himself again, but Kanda decides that the only way to make sure is to cut Allen open. Revealing himself to be an Exorcist, Kanda activates his Innocence, Mugen, and attacks.

Just before the sword lands, Allen exclaims that they should have gotten a letter from Marian Cross, making Kanda stop.

Allen then says that the letter should have gone to Komui, making everyone in the room with Komui stop and stare at him.

After a pause, Komui orders someone to check his cluttered desk for the letter, then volunteers to help, himself, much to the disbelief of everyone in the room.

The letter is found, and Komui commands Reever to stop Kanda while he goes to get another cup of coffee. As he passes Lenalee, Komui tells her to begin making preparations, commenting that they haven’t had someone new come to the Order in a while.

As the order for the gate to be opened for Allen is relayed, Komui muses on how interesting it will be to examine Allen.
