Trouble In Pandora
Trouble is unfolding in 'Pandora's Box'. The Black Order's newest pawn thrown into the 2nd Holy War, Krucia Solis enters the world of Akuma and exorcist. This 'soldier' of God isn't exactly someone you should have for humanities savior. She finds herself facing new threat from the Earl; fighting in a war and for someone she doesn't believe in. Krucia will soon find out that there are more things about her Master than she thought …
WELCOME TO TROUBLE IN PANDORA.
Prologue: Arrival at London (Krucia p.o.v)
Forever seemed to pass- but apparently it's only been two months and a half since I was last with my master, training. Here I am in London Square thrown into a country I've never been in just because my wise ass womanizing drunkard of a master thought I was ready to finally join the Order… I'm pretty sure he was drunk at the time.
Two months and a half ago, my Master and I were residing at a small homey villa in Ankara, Turkey. Life with my Master was always hectic.
We were always constantly changing residences and names because of my Masters knack for getting in trouble with the law. Many times we would have to flee countries because Master would indebt himself to the point it wasn't even funny, and I, his apprentice had to pay them off. I was always more like his servant than apprentice. Hell, I can't even remember his last words to me.
My eyes scanned the busy London Square, tugging my luggage through the over crowded streets.
[Flashback:
Mismatched eyes fluttered open, sitting up just as her Edison doll alarm clock sounded off, signaling the start of a new day. Yet the same old routine. Wake up Master. Clean, cook, this was Krucia's days living with the General Marshall: Marian Cross.
After cleaning herself up and changing into an oversized white dress shirt that a little neighborhood church donated to her, and loose fitting felt pants, Krucia yawned, reaching the dark oak door that lead to her Master's room With a deep breath, she pensively knocked on his door softly. "Master Cross?" No response. "Master Cross, it's time for my training." She knocked a bit louder. "Master…?"
The door creaked open, and she was greeted with a barren room. In the middle of the room, was a large parchment letter. Curiously, she walked up to it, and opened the letter. Instantly she recognized Cross's feminine cursive handwriting.
'Dear idiot apprentice,
By now you probably noticed I'm long gone. I have taught you well, so now it's time for you to join the Black Order located in London, Britain. Even though I strongly believe you're useless and a piece of shit not worth anything, I made you your own golem. It is an messenger that you will need to have in order to communicate between others also part of the order and record what happens. It's name is Tinker. Take care of it and don't lose it-you should know how to do that since you're a girl, even though you surely don't act like one. I've gone far, far way, and won't be coming back, so don't expect you'll ever see me again.
Yours Truly, General Marshal Marian Cross'
"…Damn you Cross." Stomping to her room, she packed what barely belongings she had and left the villa. End of flashback]
After finally catching a carriage, Krucia reached a desolate road that led to a large rock hill with a huge Tower covered with dark grey inky clouds, and an eerie atmosphere surrounding it. There was a strong juxtapose about it, outside of the Tower it was sunny and hot, but inside it was dark and spooky. Creepy ravens hung around dead trees, staring down at Krucia as if peering into her soul. She gulped. At the side of the rock hill, there was a large glass platform. Krucia got on it and as soon as she did, a loud bell went off and shot her up the rock with such speed. She stumbled out clutching the ground for dear life. "OH MY GOD!"
After a few minutes of trying to catch her breath, she followed the checkered black and white marble path until she reached a large door… With a face on it ….
…. A FACE.
It suddenly burst to life, zooming right at her face, it's large pupiless eyes bulging out of it's sockets while examining the newcomer. "I am the Gate Keeper of the Black Order. To enter you must pass my inspection to determine if you are human or inhuman." Krucia raised a brow.
"Inspection? What inspection?" A blinding green light in a grid like pattern engulfed her out of nowhere. "Prepare to be judged."Suddenly a large speaker atop the Gate Keeper screeched to life, stopping him in his tracks.
"Excuse me miss!" A man most likely in his late thirties spoke, clearing out his throat. "Why are you here? Outsiders aren't allowed in the Order."
"Oh, I was sent here by my Master who's a General of yours. He told me once I met someone here, to tell a man named Komui that the Earl Gray is over seasoned? I don't know what he meant by that, though."
Bzzzt. "Hold on Miss, I'll get you to the supervisor." Bzzzt. "Hello there!" A new man, this one with a cheery voice spoke. "I'm Komui Lee, the supervisor of this Branch. Cross sent you right? We didn't receive any referral from him."
"Really, eh? He sent one about two months ago. I don't know, my Master tends to be forgetful…"
Komui chuckled. "Ah, why yes."
"Ehem!" Gate Keeper interrupted, blinking impatiently. "Excuse me Komui-sama, but can I continue my inspection"
" whoops, sorry about that!"
"Testing species identification: TESTING, TESTING, TESTING, TESTING, TEST-GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHH! SHE FAILS!" He wailed, stomping her forehead with a big red X stamp. He writhed away from the raven girl. "SHE BEARS THE MARK OF AN AKUMA-KILL IT BEFORE IT TOUCHES ME AND I BREAK OUT IN HIIIIIVES!"
'Oh dear-wait, one of our exorcists are on their way!"
(Inside the Order's surveillance room)
A tired looking blonde with a goatee leaned over his boss along with two other workers wearing white science lab coats- Buzz and Johnny.
Komui calmly sipped his coffee, seemingly undisturbed by the horrified screams and a sword hacking through the air that came from the small monitor in front of them. The blonde, Reever pointed at the screen. "Hey isn't that-"
"That's Kanda-kun!" Komui interrupted stupidly. "Kanda'll pulverize her to a pulp."
"Chief, I think this girl is human! It makes no sense for an Akuma to just prance up to us like she did, that'd be pretty stupid!" Johnny, a young teen with puffy hair and oversized glasses with dented rims exclaimed. His buddy Buzz, a tall African American with a stubble nose nodded in agreement.
"True." Komui mused, rubbing his chin. "I AM getting a strong sense of déjà vu- like if this has happened before… But I can't exactly put my finger on it…" Reever rolled his eyes.
"Whatever it is, it's also probably your fault."
Back with Krucia… (Her p.o.v)
I barely managed to move out of the way of the glowing green sword trying to cut me to ribbons. A boy a couple of years older than me growled, his long jet black hair tied up in a ponytail swaying as he moved with ease. I yelped when the sword came close to decapitating me. At one point, I was able to catch him off guard by kicking dirt to his face, and landing a well aimed kick at his intestines. He lurched forward with a gag, but quickly recovered and pressed his sword against my throat, stopping me dead in my tracks. "Wanna die?" The oriental, handsome boy spat out, his scowl deepening. I shot my hands up immediately.
"Yo, I'm not an aku-or whatever the talking face said! I'm human!" He swung his sword with a heavy girth, ripping the hems of my white dress shirt.
"Stay still!" I ducked.
"No, you'll kill me!" Slash.
"That's the whole point!" He stuck his foot out and I face planted against the ground. He went to impale me, but I spun on my heel in a 360 ̊, slithering behind him and locked him into an air tight bear hug, digging my heels on the inside of his feet, locking him in place. "T-The hell? GET OFF!" I lifted him off easily like if he were a feather, and fell back- oh yeah, german supplex style! His weight added to the impact, and his skull collided against the ground with a sickening crack. I let go of him, dusting my brown slacks. Someone whistled, and I looked to see a tall red haired boy walking towards me with a large grin. He suddenly jumped around squealing.
"STRIKE! NO- DOUBLE STRIKE! STRIKE, STRIIIKE!" He gushed at me. Suddenly he turned serious, dropping his voice to a seductive tone… Or what he thought was one cuz to me it sounded more like a cat dying. "You have the honor of being exorcised by the devilishly handsome Lavi Bookman- Adonis of the Black Order!" I looked around.
"Where he at? Cuz I don't see him"
"HE'S MEEEEE!" The boy wailed.
"look, I'm not an Akuma or whatever it is. I think I know why the talking door confused me- I'm cursed. I have a curse mark on the inside of my right pupil, take a look." He leaned in, and turned back to the large speaker. "TRUE- SHE'S GOT ONE JUST LIKE THE MOYASHI'S! WHOA!" Lavi looked around, and saw a small blackish silver sphere flying off with his headband. He looked back at me. "That your Golem?" He asked. I nodded, and watched amusedly him chase down Tinker all the way inside the Tower.
'This is the Black order Master Cross wants me to join? This place is even worse than that stupid orphanage…'
Lavi led me inside a large office overrun by mountains of papers, and immediately a chinese man bowed. "Welcome Krucia Solis, and I apologize about the misunderstanding." He straightened up and smiled at me. "I'm Komui Lee, the supervisor, and this is my assistant Reever Wenham." The blonde next to him waved at me. I bowed.
"I'm Krucia Solis."
"We're very glad to have you join us-we really need all the new recruits we can get. Lately we've haven't been doing so good in this war." Komui said, reaching in a cabinet and taking out a large manila folder. "These are your paperwork and documentations of joining us. There's no due date, so no need to rush. Also, within the week you'll have to get a physical from our head nurse, and have your innocence checked by Hevlaska. On each page, sign your name on the bottom left hand corner. Lavi- fetch me my sister, I want her to give Krucia-san a tour around."
Lavi nodded and left.
I looked at the supervisor. "Komui, what's an Akuma? The Gate Keeper dude called me one." Komui looked at me, fixing his square glasses.
"Well dear, Akuma's are weapons made by our enemy, the Millennium Earl. They are puppets with trapped souls in them. The Earl tricks people in grieve of a lost love one into bringing them back to life, but it ends up killing them, and uses their skin as a disguise. To those who don't know about us, they're referred to as 'Demons'- but they are nothing like the demons from the Bible. Now, there are exorcists- people chosen by God to fight Akuma and save humanity, they have this Divine substance called 'Innocence'. Innocence grants it's users ethereal powers to destroy Akuma. There are three different types of innocence; weapon, meaning an object, parasitic- the innocence is actually a body part in the host, and a new type we've recently discovered named para- equip type. It's a combination of a weapon that actually resides in the host's body."
A slim Chinese girl with long, dark green hair tied in two ponytails came in. She immediately looked at me and smiled, her violet eyes friendly. " Hi! I'm Lenalee Lee, nice to meet you!" She bowed.
Out of nowhere, Komui launched himself to the slim girl, but was kicked away by her strange looking boots."Oh dear sister, this is a new to be exorcist sent from Cross-sama, her name is Krucia Solis." Komui said excitedly.
"Nice to meet you Krucia-san, follow me! I'll show you around."
"- and this is the 4th floor, one of the girl's dorm floor. Every even number is the girl's, and the odds are the boy's. Except every 16th and 17th floor is off limits because it belongs to the Science Department. This is your room, #4B, north wing of the Tower, corridor section 2A. It's really late, so I'll be out of your way, but if you ever need anything, my room is 4 doors down, kay? See you around!" Lenalee left and I opened my room, collapsing on the bed tiredly.
"The people here are so hyper, what the hell…"
Tinker came out of my bun, laying himself on my stomach as my thoughts drifted back to cross. That womanizing man whore sent me to a crazy house. I had a strong feeling that things are going to go crazy soon. With that in mind, I fell fast asleep…..
[End of chp.1]

Don't get me wrong, I love allen= I'm just a strong believer of drama. I hope you liked the first chapter. PLZ REVIEW!
