Do the fanfics stop?
Guess not. World Trigger it is. 1st person, switches to 3rd person perspective every once in a while to get other people's views.
"AAAHHHHHHH! GODDAMMIT!"
Yeah, not the best way to introduce myself. But then again, when you're trying to take a portal to another world and the portal ends up dropping you a few stories above the ground, screaming is probably in order. Especially when there's a giant trion soldier just above, falling at the same rate as you. So in very basic summary, I just appeared in this world and if I don't do something, I'm going to get squished.
But first things first, screaming has to finish.
Alright, there we go. That's better. My screaming is done, now I can focus on that…
Oh yeah. Giant trion soldier about to fall on top of me. This is what I get for trying to get through a portal before a rabbit gets through. How inconvenient. Well, better get rid of it. It should be easy enough, getting rid of it.
One shot at its eye and it went down.
There's only one problem though. What do I do with the body? It's still gonna fall… on me…
Shit.
Suffice to say, getting squished by a rabit was not my ideal way of starting my new life over in Meeden.
"Hey, are you alright?"
I was about to get up, but then I took a sun to my eyes. Not exactly the way I wanted to start the day. I blinked for a few moments before I took in the sight. There was a girl in front of me, somewhat tall with black, neck-length hair. But that was beside the point.
I sat up, rubbing my neck as I got up. "Yeah, I'm mostly fine."
"You were under that trion soldier. There's no way you're alright after something like that."
"I have my ways."
"Whatever, but I'm still taking you to the hospital."
My brain jogged itself as I remembered why I came here. "Hey, do you know an organization called Border?"
The girl looked at me strangely. "Who doesn't?"
"Now, now Kumagai. There's no need to get on this guy's case. After all, his brain might still be scrambled from being under that trion soldier for so long" A girl's voice said from behind her.
The one that I was currently talking to looked abashed. "Yes, Nasu-senpai."
As I got up, my eyes focused on my surroundings. The girl behind Kumagai wasn't that different height-wise. She had neck-length hair also, but it was much straighter and blonde.
"My apologies." I said. "It's just that I'm looking for a friend at Border."
The girl looked at me thoughtfully. "I'm actually an agent at Border. I could probably help you find your friend if you wanted."
"Thanks." I said.
"So, what's your na-"
All of a sudden an alarm sounded and a portal appeared above us. Why couldn't I have taken this portal instead? I extinguished that thought when I saw the rabit coming out of the gate.
"Warning, Gate opening."
"Ah, crap. Get out of here! We'll deal with this." Kumagai shouted.
"Actually, how about I help you, seeing as you're going to help me with finding my friend." I said.
"Wait, what do you mean?"
"Trigger on."
POV CHANGE: 3rd person, Nasu unit
The members of Nasu unit could only stare, shocked as they saw the guy before them equipping a trigger. What had originally had been a small investigation as to why there was a dead rabbit when no Border agent had been around turned into a rescue mission and then into this.
The guy was actually a pretty nice-looking guy. In fact, the guy kind of reminded them of Karasuma from the Tamakoma branch. He even had the curly hair to go along with it. The biggest difference though, was the face structure and the eyes. A lot thinner from the cheek to the chin. It looked more like a point. And his irises were a startling silver.
But that was beside the point at the moment. What they were focused on at the moment was the guy's transformation. It was rather brief. The only thing that happened was that his attire changed to black in color.
Other than that, they couldn't see anything significantly different about his trigger. Until he raised his arm and fired a blast of trion at the rabit, piercing it right through the eye. Completely neutralized.
The members of Nasu unit stared at the guy. For one thing, his trigger wasn't a standard border trigger. For another, he had just taken down a rabit. One of the trion soldiers from Aftokrator, the land which was apparently the largest military power in all of the Neighborhood. According to all sources, even an A-rank soldier would have trouble fighting against a rabbit. And this guy just destroyed one with ease. No effort used at all.
To put things in context, Nasu unit was a B-rank squad. They were nowhere near as good as an A-rank squad as far as they were concerned. Fighting a rabbit would have been out of question for them.
Another thing that was a point of bother was his trigger. It wasn't like any of the triggers that they had seen before. For all they knew, it wasn't even a standard Border trigger.
Which instantly begged the question: Who was this guy?
Before any of them could ask, they saw Kuga Yuma walk up to the area, a frown on his face.
"Lucca? What are you doing here?" He asked.
POV Change: 1st Person
At that voice, my head turned to see my old friend. "Yuma! It's good to see you."
"You're not answering the question, Lucca. Why are you here? I thought you were still in Liberi." Yuma said.
I looked down. "I ran away. They were going to do something I couldn't let happen."
He frowned. "What did they do? You wouldn't have left Liberi if it didn't have something to do with Aria."
"About that…"
"What happened to Aria?" He asked.
As I deactivated my trigger, I shook my head. "Now's not the time. For now, let's go to Border."
"I doubt that they're going to accept you that easily." He said. "The only reason that I was let into Border was because someone vouched for me."
"Well, I guess you'll have to vouch for me then." I said.
"…I'll try." Yuma said.
Before we got going, I turned to the two (wait, there's a third one with a cap) Border agents that were standing to the side. "My apologies, I'm not going to need your help finding my friend. He actually found me first."
The blonde girl, who I instantly figured was the leader, nodded her head. "That's alright. You found your friend, which is good, so that works well for you."
"At the very least, thanks for offering your help. My name's Lucca." I said, extending my hand.
She took it. "Rei Nasu. This is my unit. Yuko Kumagai and Akane Kiura. Pleasure to meet you."
"Lucca, come on." Yuma said.
"Right then, I'll talk to you later. Maybe." I said. "Really depends on what's going to happen to me in the next few hours."
POV CHANGE: 3rd Person
As Nasu unit watched Lucca watched off, they could only wonder a bit about him.
"That guy is Kuga's friend?" Kumagai asked.
"Looks like it." Nasu replied. "And from the looks of it, he's a humanoid Neighbor as well."
Welp, that's a wrap for now. This is more of a writing experiment than anything else, so I might not finish this. I want to see how well I can transition between different points of view.
Reviews appreciated.
Oh yeah, setting starts around chapter 80/81 of the manga. So the invasion finished.
edit: changed Lucca's appearance, added eye color.
