Timeline
UPDATED AS OF November 26, 2011
1895
↵ Canon!attack on North American branch.
↵ Allen Walker creates the gate to Martel for Yuu Kanda and Alma Karma, and is imprisoned for doing so. Events up until this point are located here.
↵ The Cardinal attempts to do his thing and absorb Crown Clown (or whatever, i don't even know), but is interrupted by Noahs Tyki Mikk and Rhode Kamelot. True to canon, Allen Walker breaks out of his imprisonment with Tyki Mikk and Rhode Kamelot. Lenalee Lee catches up and witnesses Allen leaving through a gate made by the Ark.
↵ Search parties are sent out to find Ex-Exorcist Allen Walker.
1896
↵ Fighting continues, Allen is still missing.
↵ April: The Order changes goals. Search parties are informed to switch to looking for Yuu Kanda and Alma Karma.
↵ At the same time, a large majority of the Black Order scientists are instructed research ways to implant Innocence into human bodies with minimal side effects.
↵ Allen drops by Martel and finds Kanda, statuefied, sans Alma.
↵ November: Search locations narrowed down to Asia and Italy. All Exorcists and Finders sent to these regions are told to ask around for a long haired Oriental (Japanese) man. This proves futile, as Kanda has not been active at all since arriving in Martel.
↵ Mid-December: Breakthroughs in studies at the Black Order. Research speeds up.
↵ Lenalee happens across Allen and KICKS HIS BUTT but cannot find it in herself to tell him to come back, nor does she tell anyone she met him.
1897
↵ March: Yuu Kanda is found in the abandoned town of Martel, Italy, mostly turned to stone.
↵ Research begins on an older model regeneration charm to find ways to make it start up again.
↵ Testing on Kanda's regeneration charm to reactivate it begins. Several weeks later, there is success in the laboratory.
↵ Early August: The charm is juiced back up and placed back in Kanda's body. His body returns back to a more natural flesh-form instead of stone-like, and his hair returns to dark blue/black. However, he is still comatose.
↵ While Kanda is comatose, scientists carry out tests to find out his synchronization level with the deteriorated Mugen. Percentage is in the middle, but not completely gone.
↵ A week later, Kanda regains consciousness. After another week of recovery, he is taken into custody for interrogation.
↵ Interrogation proves useless. Kanda is sent off to have his memories sealed up once more. The spell is purposefully botched; Kanda pretends it worked.
↵ June: Mugen is broken down into shards and surgically implanted into his arms starting at the wrists and going up, then curving down to his shoulder blades. No signs of rejection are reported.
↵ Physical therapy begins after a week of observation and is done alongside training with Mugen again. Both are completed by mid-October.
↵ Side effects of surgery begin for Kanda in early November. Minor. No report is made.
1898
↵ Marie, Chaoji, Miranda are the next three subjects to be implanted. Success.
↵ Bookman and Lavi, as they are still missing, do not undergo the surgery.
↵ Linali is the last regular Exorcist to have her Innocence implanted a month after the others. Success.
↵ Minor side effects for Marie, Chaoji, and Miranda begin near the end of March. Again, no report.
↵ Zokaro and Tiedoll are both coerced into the operation as well. Success.
↵ Generals begin experiencing slight side effects.
↵ Reports about side effects are documented around late August but, when turned in to Central, are never responded to. No action is taken against them.
1899
↵ Early February: every combat-able Exorcist is sent to Japan's coastline where massive amounts of Akuma have been reported to be gathering. Gear up for battle.
↵ Allen Walker arrives midbattle and comes in contact with the Heart, eventually turning the tide and ending the battle.
↵ ..Or at least, that's what is being passed down. In reality, what the Exorcists know is that the Fourteenth once again damaged the memories of the Noahs like he did almost 40 years ago.
↵ What he doesn't know is that he also damaged his own memories, and Allen's.
19??
↵ It's been a victory for humanity and for the Order. As far as anyone knows, the Earl and the Noahs are out of the picture.
↵ Not all the Akuma had been called to Japan, so there are still stragglers hiding out across the globe. The Order's job is now to leisurely collect the rest of the Innocence while digging out the Akuma in hiding.
↵ Allen Walker still does what he wants.
↵ Side-effects for all implanted Innocence fluctuate, damaged slightly by the usage of the Heart.
↵ During a clean-up mission, Kanda receives a slash to his left eye. Both the eyelid and the eye itself, while 'healed', remain in a solid stone state-- the crack/scar will likely never heal up completely. He continues to remain cautious of getting injured.
