NOT UP TO DATE
Hallelujah!verse, based on the songs by the same name.
Lyrics here, song is here, but can also be downloaded/listened to anywhere else. I like this version the best, though the original song lyrics are a bit different.
--
You say I took the name in vain
I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you?
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth, I didn't come to fool you
And even though it all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah,
Hallelujah

The war is over. Years have passed. The outcome is blurred. There are no records-- they're being kept secret. The survivors, they know. They know what happened. But they will not tell.
They have their reasons.
(The following events take place after the raid on North American Branch. Like many other events, the results of the invasion are privy, and few people who know about it will share details.)
During the last year of the war, the Grand Generals were frantic to get every Exorcist towards 100% synchronization. They began experimenting once more. After months of studying (reluctant, on the part of some scientists), the Order came up with a possible solution.
Forcing people to synchronize would not work; those experiments ended long ago.
This time, it was to take equipment-type Innocence and implant it into the bodies of their conformers.
The first subject was Yuu Kanda. But he had technically already gone through something similar as a child, so his results, while kept, were disregarded.
The next was Noise Marie. A success.
Then Chaoji Han. Success, but only barely.
A few months of observation, and Miranda Lotto was next. A complete, wonderful success.
Activation times were cut down by at least 70%, synchro rates raised by an average of 10%-25%. It was like a miracle.
No one noticed Yuu Kanda slowly seeing more and more of those lotuses. No one paid attention when Noise Marie began hearing odd sounds that no one else could hear. No one worried much when Chaoji Han complained of pain in his hands, wrist, arms, and shoulders.
No one thought anything when Miranda Lotto began forgetting what time or day it was.
So they continued the experiments. Linali was the last of the regular Exorcists to go through the operation.
They brushed the pangs in her legs off as post-surgery pains.
Then the Generals.
Winters Zokaro began experiencing slight waves of nausea and vertigo a month after his surgery. Froi Tiedoll blamed his stiff joints on the fact that age was starting to catch up with him. Klaud Nyne was, luckily, exempt. (Her pet monkey, however, was not.)
Cross Marian was, as well. He was still missing.
Timothy Hearst, and Aleister Krory (or however you want to spell his name) did not undergo the operation. They were already parasitic-types. They did, however, have to go through a quick study. Scientists found a way to further connect the body to the Innocence, since they weren't really full parasitic-types.
Aleister figured his tired jaw was due to being overworked. Timothy's migraines weren't serious.
Nothing was that serious.
Not until the war ended.

Well maybe there's a God above
But all I've ever learned from love
Was how to shoot somebody who'd outdrew ya
And it's not a cry that you hear at night
It's not somebody who's seen in the light
It's a cold and it's a broken Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
