SailorStar9: You guys can consider this a branch-out of my 'Ice on Ice' fic. This takes place during episode 103 of the anime; anything prior to this is according to the anime itself. So, read and review. Pairings uncertain, for now.
Summary: Elemental Exorcists are Exorcists banished from the Order who possesses a special type of Innocence: the Celestial Innocence; which said to be a fragment of the 'Heart of Innocence'. Each Elemental Exorcist is a Critical Point with the power of commanding one single element. A desperate Koumi pulls all stops and recalls these beyond-Marshall level Exorcists back.
Disclaimers: I own nothing, except my OCs who you guys should recognize from my 'Bonded' fic.
Prologue: The Elemental Exorcists' Return
Somewhere in Russia...
An ice-blue Golem fizzled and came online.
"Ami, return to the Order." came Koumi's instruction.
Somewhere in East Asia...
A yellow and a midnight black Golems came online.
"Demon, Angel, return to the Order." came Koumi's instruction.
Somewhere in America...
A red, a green and a brown Golems came online simultaneously.
"Duke, Dare, Duncan, return to the Order." came Koumi's instruction.
Somewhere in Europe...
A dark blue and an ocean blue Golems came online.
"Corinn, Nerissa, return to the Order." came Koumi's instruction.
"Roger." came eight voices in unison.
Readying their possessions, the eight Elemental Exorcists prepared to return to the place which banished them in the first place.
At the meeting...
"Are these the only Exorcists left?" a hooded Angel exclaimed in disbelief, giving the room a glance-over.
"Quite unfortunately." Koumi admitted.
"We are so doomed." Angel muttered.
"Angel-nee, stop being pessimistic." a similarly hooded Ami chided.
"I was being optimistic." Angel corrected.
"Geez, I couldn't tell." Ami rolled her eyes.
"Alright, the eight of you." Koumi started. "Remove your hoods and introduce yourselves."
"Do we have to?" Duke whined.
"Yes." Koumi insisted.
"Fine." Demon snorted and the eight removed their hoods. "Demon; Guardian Saturn."
"Angel Fujisawa," Angel continued. "Guardian Venus."
"Duncan, Guardian Earth."
"Dare, Guardian Mars."
"Duke, Guardian Jupiter."
"Ami Maris, Guardian Mercury."
"Corinn, Guardian Uranus."
"Nerissa, Guardian Neptune."
"And the last Guardian who ain't here, Celia, Guardian Pluto." Angel muttered.
"Squirt, down!" Ami barked, before Allen could open his mouth. "You too, Lees." she get Leenalee a 'shut up or else' glare. "And stop gawking, Master!" that was directed at Marshall Cross. "Oh wait, technically, I'm not your student anymore." she mused. "So, ex-Master."
"You wound me, Ami." Marshall Cross muttered.
Koumi coughed, catching everyone's attention before chaos erupted, "This is an advanced form of an equipment-type." he told the assembled Exorcists with Leenalee beside him. "It's a weapon Innocence had formed in exchange for the blood. We tentatively call this Crystal-type."
"Crystal-type?" Leenalee echoed from he chair.
"Can this Crystal-type only occur to Leenalee?" Marshall Tiedoll inquired.
"No, there's a high possibility that it will happen to other Equipment types as well." Koumi replied.
"I guess God wants to make us stronger!" Marshall Tiedoll noted after a while.
"Maybe so..." Allen agreed. "We managed to avoid total destruction with the last attack. But to me, it feels like the Earl is saying that he can kill us Exorcists anytime. So we have to get stronger. Get stronger and continue fighting... until the day Akumas are gone. Until the day the Earl of Millennium is defeated."
"So, the reason we're here..." Angel deathpanned.
"You're pulling all stops on this one, huh Koumi?" Ami guessed. "Wanting us to train these bunch of newbies."
SailorStar9: Now that's done, read and review.
