Everyone kneeled down and covered their selves as the glass from the cieling broke and came crashing down.

Ciel's eyes widened at Undertaker's eyes. "Undertaker?"

"You've been hiding yourself well. Since you kept your eyes hidden, I never noticed it either." Sebastian said calmly.

"Me too. I've been had." Grell said annoying.

"Senpai, those eyes..."

"Yes, there's no mistaking it... A shinigami!"

Chuuya got up groaning. "What kind of ability is that?!"

"I don't think this is an ability at all." Kouyou said. "This is something even we may not br able to defeat confidently."

Dazai and Chuuya's eyes widened it was very rare if ever at all that they heard Kouyou speak with minimal hope.

Undertaker chuckled at the unfamiliar name. "How nostalgic, it's been half a century since someone last called me that."

"The Undertaker is a shinigami?!" Ciel said.

"What's the meaning of this Undertaker?!" Ryan said running towards him. "Didn't you tell me that we could control the corpses as long as we have this device?!"

"He was fooling you, you idiot. You should never trust anyone. Sometimes even your own become traitors." Bernadette said.

Undertaker chuckled. "Such a brilliant little child for your age. I must say it was such a pleasure being in your presence Lady Bernadette. How sad it will be when this all comes to an end." Undertaker smirks.

Bernadette laughed. "Don't assume whatever you're planning for them, that you'll take us down with them. We belong to the Port Mafia, and we are trained for the most unnecessary and spontaneous situations."

"So you lied to me?! All that about going to America to spread the complete salvation?!"

"You were the perfect person for my purpose. But you see I thought it was funny, wince you were trying to bring the dead back to life in all seriousness..." Undertaker said nonchalantly.

"So our goal in making the entire world healthy was...?!"

Undertaker cut him off. "That was your goal was it not?"

"Also... You couldn't perform the resurrection of human beings with the kind of medicine you possess. In my book, from the very moment you relied on my skills, that can't be called medicine anymore. The kind of guy who would use a treatment he doesn't even understand on his patients is no longer a doctor, you see."

Ryan fell to the ground in despair. "No... No way..."

Undertaker walked over and pet Ryan's head. "You were a good boy who honestly believed in my story."

"So in other words, you're the mastermind behind The Aurora Society's human resurrection experiments..." Ciel said bitterly.

Undertaker smirked putting a finger up to his lips. "That's a secret."

He continued. "...is what I'd like to say, but by doing that phoenix pose you've paid me for an awful amount of information. So I'll tell you. Hee hee. It's true that I was the one who made these moving corpses."

"Why?" Bernadette said glaring at the Undertaker.

"What is dead should stay dead." Kouyou said. "No one should ever interfere with death and the cycle of life. It throws off the balance of everything."

"Ah, you are right about that Madame. At first, it was probably... Just my curiosity towards humans."

"Towards humans?" Chuuya said questioningly.

"Yes. I am nothing like you in anyway. I do not feel what humans feel. Humans are "a flesh body" and "a soul"... If you bring these two together, one can exist amongst the living and keep on documenting their life's memories in the "cinematic record". And when the flesh body withers, and the shinigami collect their souls, the record ends there and the living become the dead. Shinigami take the soul from the body according to a list, causing an end to the kaleidoscope. Day in day out, peacefully, indifferently. I have lived that shinigami life for a long time, when one day I though... What would happen if the end had a continuation?"

"What would happen to the flesh body if you were to connect a continuation to the memories that had come to an end without the soul? Shinigami only hunt souls after all. The body and the brain that holds the memories are left in this world."

"So you added a continuation to people's memories?" Dazai said.

Undertaker pointed. "If you're so curious why don't you have them take a look?"

Grell's eyes narrowed as he swiped at the bizarre dolls and looked at their cinematic records. At the very end was the Undertaker.

"What the hell?" Chuuya said shocked.

"The end mark of the cinematic record that arrives along with every death. By connecting these fake records to them, I made it so that the end would never come. And if you do that somehow, the body mistakenly thinks that life is still continuing. And starts moving again without a soul. All Iiving beings instinctively try to fill up whatever they lack. If your body gets wounded, it will close it up. If the spirit feels lonely, one will seek others in order to fill this emptiness. That's why the also instinctively seek what they lack... in order to find a soul they will try and open up the bodies of the living."

Chuuya's eyes widened."They never could see. They never could hear. They were feeding off of us being alive."

Dazai looked at Chuuya. "Because we have what they don't. Life. A soul."

"It's to settle the balance of the never-ending cinematic record, you see."

"Is that why they came after our souls?!" Ciel yelled.

"It's impossible for them to make another's soul theirs though... I can tamper with the records, but I can't create a soul. I experimented a lot, but most of them never became anything more than flesh dolls without a self."

"What you're doing is inhuman." Oda said.

"The fact that you can't understand this beauty, means you're all just too young still. This beautifully stitched skin as white as wax, just like when they were alive." Undertaker said holding a bizarre doll. "Their mouths they cannot clamour noisily or tell lies any longer. Aren't they all far more beautiful than when they were alive?" He said smirking.

Bernadette covered her nose. "No what it is, is sick and crazy. Even for me this is too much."

"That's what you say, but... but there are humans who want these bizarre dolls too you know? These dolls feel pain or fear. They eat the living, craving their souls. What do you think? It's the best animal weapon there is, right?"

Everyone's eyes widened in shock.

"That eccentric bunch said they wanted to see till what extent they could use them. So we decided on experimenting by throwing the same amount  of humans and bizarre dolls together on a luxury cruise ship."

"Let them kill each other and see how many survived on each end? Quite deranged." Sebastian said.

"But I never thought we'd crash into an iceberg. Having quit being a shinigami, I don't own the list anymore... considering that it saved me the trouble of making it sink, it's like catching two birds with one stone."

"So you mean the ship was never headed for America. You planned for the downfall of it since the beginning." Dazai said.

"Correct but because of you all it seems more humans survived than inticipated... I wonder if I should be angry..."

Dazai's eyes narrowed. "And I thought I was the devil. Well... being my people are on this ship and my husband and child I can't forgive your slip up." Dazai pulled his gun from his coat.

"Don't be foolish boy, he is something we do not understand." Kouyou said.

"The more he says, the more I know I can't let it pass." Grell said displeased.

"I know right, Senpai. Shinigami distorting the way of "death" is totally impossible. Though he doesn't have glasses. Is he one of those "deserters" you see sometimes?"

"He can be anything for all I care. It's against the rules for shinigami to come to the human world and meddle with life and death matters. The quickest way to get him to cough up how the moving corpses work is probably just to tie him up and hand him over to the bosses... also... even more than being against the rules, the crime of hurting a maiden's face!"

Bernadette looked unimpressed. "Oi, are you serious?"

"Yes! No matter how hot he might be, I can not forgive him for that!"

Chuuya and Bernadette face palmed at the same time, because that had to obviously be the dumbest thing to be concerned about right now, when a ship is sinking and dead people are walking about. They watched as Grell took a swing at the Undertaker but he dodge Grell's attack, then he saw Ronald coming for him, but before he could dodge it Ronald was kicked by Sebastian's foot.

"What the hell Sebas-chan!"

"I'd be in trouble if I let you guys haul him off." Sebastian said.

"Huh?" Grell said annoyed.

"We also have a duty to present the truth before the Queen. We can't let him get away!"

"So you see. We'll be the one's taking him to custody."

"Ah Gentlemen, that will be impossible. He has to die hear along with that piece of shit over there. They stole thousands from me and my family, and I won't tolerate it." Dazai said chuckling sinisterly.

"This is problem between Shinigami! So stay away, outsiders!" Grell said narrowing his eyes.

"I also have my job as a butler. So please stay away, outsiders." Sebastian said in the tone.

"It doesn't matter what either of you feel because I will have his head and Stokers mounted above my fire place." Dazai said.

"As fascinatingly stoic as always, Seba-chan." Grell smirked. "And you Dazai Osamu, and Nakahara Chuuya. I would expect nothing less of the great duo from Yokohama's underworld. The two demons themselves. Well then if you're both going to be that way then we won't hold back."

"The fact that something like "hold back" exists in your dictionary surprises me more than anything else." Sebastian said disgusted.

"Holding back with us catches you a death sentence." Chuuya smirked. "Oi, Sebastian? The Queen of England won't mind if he's dead will she?"

"Not at all. One less issue." Sebastian said smirking.

"Fine. Help us and we help you. Fair enough? In the end we both want the same thing." Chuuya said.

"This much is true. I will temporarily be on your side. As long as it is alright with the young master?"

"It is." Ciel said.

"Hm, okay we'll keep it simple then and have the fastest be the winner. But I don't intend to lose to some old gezzers!!" Ronald said competitively.

Dazai, Chuuya, Sebastian, Grell, and Ronald all stood around Undertaker. Kouyou and Odasaku protected Bernadette off to the side. The Undertaker giggled.

"Well then... it's almost like a rabbit hunt. I wonder which rabbit is being hunted?" Undertaker smirked.
