Kalan in the World of ~Black Butler~ 21

As Kalan went through the ship she realised that these things are going after the people that are alive.  The only reason why they weren’t going for her was due to the fact that she is an Archangel?  Maybe? She didn’t know but she had to get to the ballroom so she could help the survivors get out.

Hacking and slashing at the people she came across wondering how they felt or even if they felt at all.  Eventually she got to the ballroom, but upstairs on the balcony.  She heard more fighting and voices.  Silently killing the surrounding corpses she crawled out to listen in.

“Undertaker what is the meaning of this?  Didn’t you tell me that we could control the corpses as long as we have this device?” came a voice she didn’t recognise but there was that name that she did. Undertaker.

“But you see, I thought it was funny since you were trying to bring back the dead in all seriousness.  You were the perfect person for my purpose…”

Yes that was the undeniable voice and tone for the Undertaker.  The Undertaker went on to say how a doctor who relies on his skills isn’t a doctor at all. ‘Jeez how daft does a Doctor have to be to believe him.’ Kalan thought.

The Undertaker proceeded to explain his reasoning for this deed and Kalan sat there silent listening in, disbelieving her ears that the Undertaker was the mastermind behind all of these deaths.  It was then when the Undertaker offered another voice to ‘have a look’ Kalan realised that Grell Sutcliffe jumped up and began attacking the closest corpse to the red reaper.  Luckily Grell was so busy reading and watching the cinematic record that Kalan went by undetected.

“Bizarre Dolls. That’s what you’re calling them?” Kalan whispered.  Next thing Kalan knew there were more voices and then fighting sounds.  Sebastian and Ciel’s voices were heard as well as Grell and another grim reaper she only assumed as they called Grell Senpai.  Crawling to see over the edge it seems like Sebastian and Grell are fighting over the Undertaker.  It was then she spotted Viscount Druitt and the voice to doctor.  Creeping to them Kalan whispered and called to the Viscount.  He saw her and went to yell out in surprise but Kalan slammed her finger on her lips and gestured that they come with her.  Oddly no one noticed that they had gone as they continued to fight till the three of them were out of earshot.

“Kalan you shouldn’t be here it is dangerous.” Aleistor uttered following her blindly.
“I know, I have re-killed many of them, I need to you be silent so I can get you to the Captain’s brig.”

The more she walked the more angry and upset she became, none of the bizarre dolls even knew they were coming as Kalan sliced them before they had chance to react.  Getting to the brig Malum let them in but followed Kalan as she didn’t enter. “Malum I need you to stay here. I got business to attend to.  You can get the latest gossip from the Viscount and that gullible twat” she raged pointing to the Doctor.

Before the Doctor could defend himself Kalan turned to leave “Make sure they don’t die please” and slammed the door shut to the next hallway.  On her return back to the ballroom Kalan burnt all the bodies she had killed on the way to the brig.  Her anger made the burning of the bodies quick and less troublesome.

By the time Kalan had slipped back into the room it seemed that they had finished fighting for now.  That was till the Undertaker revealed his death scythe “… Well, how about I hunt you guys now?” came his voice.  Sighing Kalan watched from the side lines, making sure she wasn’t seen.  Ciel Phantomhive was across the way and had spotted her, once again Kalan placed her finger to her lips in hope of not triggering her whereabouts to anyone else.  But it was far too late for that, almost immediately after shushing the Earl the Undertaker bounced up and grabbed the Earl with quite a grip.  Almost as Sebastian darted for him Undertaker threw the young boy off the balcony.  Using this time to backstab the demon for his cinematic record.

‘Malum get the children and the Viscount out of here.  The ship is going to sink’ Kalan thought to Malum.  Kalan relaxed knowing that they were off the ship.  Kalan then stepped forwards showing herself for the first time since being there.  The other reaper when to go for her, but Grell stopped him and explained that she wasn’t a threat.

As soon as Sebastian regained consciousness Kalan could do nothing but watch. Fate had to play its course and Kalan was unable to partake.

More fighting ensued as Grell took on the Undertaker and the other Reaper, Ronald as Sebastian called out to him took on the black butler.  Tears rolled down her cheeks as they fought and then deciding to leave the whole ship shook and people came crashing down and through broken walls.
The doctor, Ryan Stoker who has started it all, fell to his end before them all and Kalan rolled her eyes, preferably she wanted to keep him alive, but there was nothing she could do.  Darting upwards Kalan found a window that was big enough for her to fit through and she escaped and in good time too.  The ship had begun to sink and it seems as if the Undertaker had taken upon himself to slice the ship in half before making a get-away.

Kalan hung in the air, invisible to the human eye she tracked down Malum and the rest.  They were set on a large island made of gravel and rock.  Malum stood proud of herself for thinking so quickly. “We are going to have to get onto a boat sometime soon, but not till Kalan get back.”
Kalan arrived on cue and stood on the gravelled ground.  The children knew who she was, being an Archangel, but the Viscount didn’t.  Luckily he was curled up by the fire staring into its depths when Kalan arrived and didn’t see her fly in to greet them.  She was covered in blood and for once it wasn’t her own.

“Hi everyone, I’m glad you’re all safe!” Kalan called as Devon, Rebecca, Thomas and Martha came running to meet her.  She hugged and kissed them all happy that they had been unharmed in all of that commotion.

“Mother is it true that Undertaker was the one behind it.” Martha asked almost immediately.

Kalan’s smile faded as she nodded. “The Undertaker found it highly amusing to convince the Doctor Ryan Stoker in believing you could bring the dead back to life and control them.  Sadly this was not the case, obviously.” She said pointing to the last of the boat sinking in the distance.
The Viscount hadn’t moved since she arrived and Kalan thought it would be prudent to make herself known.  “Aleistor, are you okay?” she asked almost dumbly.

“My fiery Pheonix came to save the day, but what of the machine and its-"

“The bizarre dolls were taken care of before the ship crumbled to bits.  We are all safe now.”
“Well, that isn’t quite true now is it dearie?” came the familiar voice of the Undertaker.  Spinning she glared at him. “It came quite a shock to me to find you on that ship.” He announced.
“Oh really? Considering you were going to sacrifice the entire ship for your deranged experiment I should hope it did come as a surprise.” Kalan spat

The Undertaker took a step towards her and Malum went to make a move to attack but Kalan stopped her. “I have had enough of violence.  No more.” She demanded, but the demand wasn’t just to Malum.
“Are you really that angry with me?” he asked running his fingers through his hair revealing his whole face and cocked his head to the side.  Kalan strode up to him and came so close that she could have kissed him.

“You nearly had me and my family KILLED.”

“But here you all are alive.  And you kept the Viscount alive, excellent skill” he smirked.
“You are unbelievable!” she snarled turning her back on him “Everyone get into that bloody boat. We are going” she said pointing to the boat that Malum made as soon as Kalan arrived.  The children immediately did as they were told while the Viscount sauntered over slowly.  The Undertaker wrapped his arms around Kalan and placed a kiss on her cheek.

“If I was unbelievable would I be able to grasp you and pull you in for a kiss?” he asked.
Aleistor stopped and saw this happen “Kalan, tell me that HE isn’t the one your heart belongs to?” he sobbed.

Kalan and the Undertaker shared a look of amusement before doubling over with laughter.
“The relationship between me and the Undertaker is a very long and complicated one” Kalan said finally.  Turning to face the Undertaker again she continued “… But where will you go now? You can’t come back to London, Sebastian and Ciel will catch you, unless the Reaper department catch you first.”

The Undertaker smirked “That is a secret.”
