Next Generation
Warning: This is not an AU (With possible exceptions of the paring that will be hinted at LOL after all the series isn't done yet) it is an extension of the series. This is what 'will' take place if the Exorcists, Noah and Earl survive until modern day.
-Giggle- I feel kinda sorry for the next generation.
For this story I sensed that after the war is over the Exorcist would disperse and eventually without there being any need for them they would be forgotten… I also have a sinking feeling about a certain Exorcist, LOL, anyway! I won't ruin it.
Summary: Krory had been wandering for so long now, his friends long since gone, the Order dispersed. There was no longer a need for Exorcists… He was alone, or so he thought.
The platform bustled and hummed with life as the black clad figure stayed silently in the background, enjoying the little thrill he got at the memory of his first train ride. Even if it had been over a hundred years ago.
Arystar Krory the 3rd, long since changed to Alystar Crowley in this 'new word', said goodbye to the eastern coast to move to inland America. Now that it had been mapped and properly populated, he felt it safe to explore without fearing prosecution for being 'different'.
When the train pulled in, the brakes let out a hiss of air. He could remember when that hiss would be followed by bellowing smoke and the smell of burning wood or coal. A small boy was spotted tugging excitedly at his mother's arm, Alystar smiled. The boy spotted him and the smile widened. A flash of sharpened teeth caused the boy to visibly gasp and tug harder at the mother's arm as he pointed at the man that had wisely moved out of sight. So many years and he still sometimes forgot…
The platform was emptying, the train boarding, and the gentleman waited his turn as he allowed a young woman ahead of him. He reached out to grab the rail as he stepped only the train, when a familiar sensation occurred. His teeth began to itch. The Innocence started to pulse against his gums as he felt the craving start. Akuma; it had been so long since he had come across one. A feral smile touched his lips as he stepped back down off the train.
The train departed as Alystar faced the passing windows knowing the look he wore must have scared most of the passengers. The humans were safe, out of harm's way, with all that was left on the platform was the 'vampire' Exorcist. "You can come out now, I know you're there," menacing fangs showed through a predator's smile as he turned to face an old man.
"Still alive are you? And they call us monsters…"
"Hmm, prey," it had been so long; Alystar couldn't help but lose control to the Innocence within him. He growled as clawed hands struck out at the aged man. Clothes tore as the man seemed to stand up, his body shifting and growing until a reptilian-like demon, Akuma, was at the other end of Alystar's claws.
In his hunger fueled attempt, he hadn't realized the extent of the reptile characteristics until a tail swung out and knocked him across the platform and off onto the tracks. He grunted as he got off the tracks, starting when he saw the Akuma raise its arms. Turrets could be seen circling each wrist. A moment of thought was all he had before the Innocence took back over. It would have its prey! He rushed head first at the Akuma, fangs bared.
Bullets rained at him, he leapt at the Akuma. He spun in mid jump, his thick coat deflecting the worst of the non-lethal rounds. A few made their way through and he just smiled as he collided with the other. There was a startled sound when he sank his fangs into the Akuma's shoulder; he ignored it as he drank his fill from the quickly dying 'demon'.
Alystar was interrupted by a sudden blackness wrapping around him and pulling him away from his meal. "No! Let me go! That's the first I've tasted in twenty years," he struggled and whined as the effects of his bite caused the Akuma to crumble away, leaving the still starving 'vampire's eyes to water.
"Go ahead and put him down," Alystar was promptly dropped onto his but to pout at the pile of dust particles that was his meal.
"What the hell are you?" His head was snapped back by his hair as a sharp implement was held to his throat.
"Hungry," he sniffled, uncaring at the moment if the boy holding his hair did cut him or not.
"Let him up, it's okay," the blade (or whatever it was he felt at his throat) was removed when a slightly older boy came into his view. "What are you?"
"I've been called vampire… but I'm an Exorcist. Honest," he gave a cockeyed grin, showing fang tips.
"You don't look like no priest," the voice from before, but the owner remained out of sight.
"Exorcist, not priest, there's a difference."
"Well, whatever type of 'holy man' you are… Can you tell me what I am?" The one in front of him lifted his head to focus on him. White caught Alystar's attention as two new limbs sprouted from the boy's back. The limbs where covered in white bands of flesh, the last time he had seen something like that had been Allen's arm…
"Parasite type," his eyes widened as he saw two bands of white within the boy's hair that wasn't there before, they twitched at him before resting on either side of the boy's temples. Much like, "Antenna?"
The boy shifted uncomfortably before nodding, "So, what am I?" The wings shuffled a bit.
"You're an Exorcist too," that startled the boy, but not as much as the huge grin on Alystar's face. "I'm not alone anymore. There are more out there again! Wait, that means…" The Earl's back. The war is going to start again soon. Alystar groaned, he'd missed his train! And the worst thing was, he couldn't leave this poor kid to worry.
He went back to pouting as he got to his feet. He was hungry, homeless and currently confused as to what to do about the parasite type in front of him. He gave a sigh; at least he could solve one if not two of the three. "So, you like pizza?"
The boy's brows rose, Alystar couldn't help but chuckle when the white antenna did the same, "Yeah…"
