A/N: This is the first co-write that's posted on this account, courtesy of my partner in crime (Nikii), and myself (Tori). I will be writing as Roan and Nikii as Skye. Hope you all enjoy!

"You're awfully slow today, Roan," my sister called down to me from her position on the side of the cliff we were climbing.

"Just taking in the view," I responded sarcastically, searching for another handhold to pull myself up with.

"But seriously, who in their right mind builds a castle on top of a cliff?" Her voice sounded further away this time around. A cry of triumph followed soon after as she finally made to the top. "Whoa," she gasped in amazement and I sped up the last few feet of the cliff to see what caused the statement.

The sight of the Black Order's Headquarters was enough to make my mouth drop. It was basically single, gigantic tower than seemingly spanned up into the heavens. The entrance to the castle was next to a wall shaped like a giant stone face; there was no other way to explain it.

"Where the heck are you supposed to knock?" Skye enquired as we moved closer to the gate. Before I could even begin to think of an answer, one presented itself to us, and it practically scared both my sister and me senseless. In fact, Skye took the liberty of using me as a human shield when the stone face of the entrance actually came to life and extended its face out to where it was barely a few inches away from mine.

"X-Ray Inspection!" it roared all of a sudden before two blinding beams of light came out of its eyes and moved up and down the length of my body. I just remained still, not wanting to do anything that could potentially piss this thing off. Skye remained conveniently behind my person the entire time.

"X-Ray Inspection completed. No sign of Akuma." And then it retreated back into the surface of the castle.

"You're still alive, so everything must be ok," Skye said, patting me lightly on the back. "Thanks for protecting me, bro."

"Is that what you call it? I thought it was called being made an unknowing sacrifice." She laughed good-naturedly, a light tinkling sound that always seemed to pull a grin onto my face no matter how hard I tried to fight it.

Eventually our attention was diverted again as the entrance gate to the castle rumbled open, and a teenage male with shockingly white hair and icy blue eyes came out to greet us. "You must be the twins that General Klaud said she'd be sending. I'm Allen Walker-"

He stopped mid-sentence, mildly confused. Who wouldn't be confused if a random stranger walked up to them and started swishing their hair around like it was the most amusing and interesting thing in the world?

"Wow! Your hair is actually white!" Skye exclaimed as she continuously batted his hair left and right, examining it closely as if she just couldn't comprehend why it was that color. "How… how you doin' that?"

Swish.

"How do you keep it so bright?"

Swish, swish.

"Is it bleached?"

"That's enough, Skye," I said, grabbing her by both arms so as to stop her attack on the poor boy's head. "You'll have to forgive my sister. She has a great tendency to be very random at the most inopportune times."

"N-Not a problem," he responded as he laughed slightly and rubbed the back of his head nervously. "If you would follow me inside…"
