The sky was a beautiful bright blue that morning. The sun's rays shone down on all the residents of True Cross Academy town and spread warmth throughout them. As Okumura Rin looked out of the mini-bus window, he found it hard to believe that today was the day they were going on a raid. The Order had received a tip-off that an old warehouse on the edge of the town was a hide-out for a large nest of demons. The Grigori themselves had issued the orders. Capture or terminate. So much had changed over the last few decades.
Originally, the order of the knights of the True Cross and its members, known as exorcists, had hunted down and killed all demons. But, after so many centuries of fighting, those who called Gehenna Hell wanted a change. The public had grown sick of the constant fights and backlashes from both sides. So they demanded change. A meeting had been called between the ruling demons of Gehenna and the Grigori and pope as well as world leaders. Many had been shocked to see Satan walk into the room, accompanied by the eight Baal and his daughter. The flames and such terrified those who had not expected it. After over a week of debates. And fights, caused by the demons betting on the world leaders when arguments started, they reached a rather rocky agreement. From then on, demons would be able to visit Assiah freely, but exorcists would retain the right to observe all demonic activity within Assiah.
The signing of the agreement had been televised to the world and the uneasy peace began. And lasted for about a month before clashes between exorcists, humans and demons began to occur. So, a second meeting was called. This time, the exorcists put forward one demand. If demons were to come to Assiah, they were to be trained to behave as much like a normal human. With some reluctance, the demon's agreed. But they were tricked. Every demon that came to Assiah was captured and sent to a specially built "rehabilitation centre". But soon the demons began to realise that it wasn't a place for them to learn how to act human. It was a torture chamber. Demons were rounded up and led into it like lambs to the slaughter. And then the rounding up of half-demons began.
Rin's thoughts were jolted to a halt when the vehicle pulled to a stop and they all began piling out. The exwires were joining trained exorcists as an example of what they would be doing after they passed the exorcist exams. He looked up at the building along with Shima and Bon. He vaguely heard Shura issuing orders to the exorcists as they surrounded the building. Inside came the vague sounds of movement. Then the chaos began. The door was kicked in, a smoke bomb thrown in to send the demons inside into disarray. They watched as the exorcists charged in and the demons were rounded up. The exwires were led inside to see the demons chained and tied up as the exorcists decided their fates. The demons were hobgoblins and such. Therefore the exorcists made one decision. Shiemi turned away whilst the exorcists raised their weapons and executed each one of them.
"Alright exwires, you lot better be prepared because now we're going to show you where we send these demons. Be prepared because it ain't all sunshine and rainbows and balloons. It's gonna put your nerves to the test." Shura said as they were led back onto the bus. Beside him, Shima let out a sigh.
"Why do we have to go there?" He asked to no one in particular.
"The Grigori has ordered that all exorcists know the place where demons are to be sent to in order to judge which demons need to go and which do not." Yukio said. The vehicle jolted to a start and took them away from the warehouse and through the town to a large building on the far outskirts. Even as they stepped off the bus, they could hear the faint screams of those inside.
"I hope you lot have braced yourself for this, it ain't all sunshine and rainbows." Shura said as they approached the entrance. Two, large, dark oak doors towered over them menacingly as they approached. Shura rapped her knuckles on one, the sound echoing through the still air around them. With a squeal of aged hinges, one of the doors opened to reveal a tall, dark haired man with black, emotionless eyes. He wore a white lab coat and white latex gloves along with a mask. He pulled the mask down in one fluid motion as he continued to look over them, his eyes lingering on Rin momentarily before moving on.
"These are the potential new exorcists?" He asked Shura, his voice as cold as his eyes. From inside, new screams and yells sounded.
"Yep. And sounds like you're having alot of fun in there." Shura said sarcastically. The man merely stared at her before walking away and beckoning them to follow. As they entered, the air felt colder and was filled with shrieks of agony and screams of madness. Insanity was thick in the air as demons were dragged past them by orderlies.
"You're just in time. We were just about to take one of our most powerful residents for her treatment." The doctor said. He held up a hand to stop them as a door opened and two orderlies rushed in.
"GET THE FUCK OFF OF ME!" A female voice screeched from the inside of the room. They all watched in horror as a girl, barely older than them in appearance, was pulled out of the room. She screamed, causing yells to sound from the other rooms. "LET ME GO!" She screamed again. A tail lashed out, smashing into the face of the orderly on her left, making him release his grip on her. She turned and bit into the throat of the one on her right, tearing his throat out and making him collapse to the ground, bleeding out. The one on the left grabbed her again and pinned her arms to her sides as two more ran forward and held her legs.
"I'LL KILL YOU!" She screeched at them as the doctor approached.
"Now, now Astarte. You know this is necessary if you want to visit Assiah. Now be a good girl and go to sleep." He said as he pulled out a syringe and injected her with a sedative. They watched as she went limp and was dragged off to a lab style room. "She's currently undergoing electro-shock treatment. You lot are in for a treat." The doctor told them as they followed the unconscious demoness to the room and watched as she was strapped down to a table. Her eyes fluttered open and she looked around in fear.
"No. NO!" She strained against the restraints but couldn't break free. The electro-shock paddles were lifted and held above her.
"Now, because you were such a bad girl, there's no gag and no pain relief." The doctor said before placing the paddles against her head. Astarte shrieked in agony, her body jerking violently. Shiemi let out an anguished sob before fleeing from the room. Yukio followed swiftly. The doctor glanced up at Shura who nodded goodbye before leading them out, leaving behind the shrieking demon, writhing in agony.
"Well kids, that was the demon's asylum." Shura said when suddenly the doctor reappeared behind them.
"That one belongs here." He said pointing at Rin.
"What do you mean?" Shima asked.
"He's a half-demon. Therefore, in order to exist in Assiah, he has to undergo treatment here." The doctor said. Before anyone knew what was happening, Rin was grabbed and dragged back into the asylum. The last thing he saw was his friend's despairing faces as the doors slammed closed and locked, sealing the beauty of Assiah away from him.
