A blissfully peaceful afternoon, the sun descending lower and lower towards the horizon as the day went on. The residents of the European Branch of the Black order awaiting an assignment. The science division employees were working on paperwork that a certain bespectacled man should have taken care of months ago. Despite the warning, the chief still waves it off and pretends to talk on the phone.
Meanwhile, a white haired boy was sitting at a table in the cafeteria, eating an amount of food that would feed the whole of the order for a month. Next to him, sat a young woman with two long pigtails tied high on either side of her head. On the opposite side of the table, sat a cheery young man with fiery red hair and striking green eyes, one being covered by an eye patch. Across the room, sat an agitated swordsman. His cold stare, burning holes in the back of the former mentioned's head.
The 'peace' was broken however, by a loud alarming noise.
"Emergency transmission! Emergency transmission!" A voice came from Chief Komui Lee's office. Lenalee Lee and her two male companions, Allen Walker and Lavi, quickly stood up and ran towards the source of the alert.
When they arrived, most of the occupants of the order were already present.
A four-way, holographic screen was flashing in the middle of the room, a loud, uncomfortable, static sound emitted from it.
"Is anyone there? Hello?" A frantic voice was barely heard through the piercing static noise.
"Chief Komui reporting, what is your status?" Komui asked as calmly as he could. The picture began to still and the face of an unknown finder could be seen, but every few seconds the picture would haze over through the unstable connection.
"Is anyone there?" The finder asked again, the bad connection making him unable to hear Komui.
"Yes, we can hear you, explain your situation," Komui explained and the look on the finders face told them that he had heard him.
"We were misinformed about the Akuma, we were told that there were a few of them attacking the town every so often, but instead we were ambushed," he explained and the screen went fuzzy before returning back to how it was before.
"There's a level two invading the town," he explained and small gasps around the room were heard.
"Lady Arianna and I are doing the best we can in the injured state we are in, but I don't think Arianna can hold on for much longer," he added further. The connection started to break up again.
"What is your location?" Komui asked, while the others in the room paying attention to every word spoken.
"Whichurch, Shropshire, west of Manchester station. Plea-," a blood-curdling scream was heard from the finder's end of the line and everyone's eyes widened in shock.
The finder turned to his left and saw Arianna fall forward, as an Akuma struck her again. Her blood coating the ground and the metallic snicker of a level two Akuma was heard.
"Arianna!" The finder screamed and the line went dead.
Everyone back at the order was shocked and speechless. Komui pushed his glasses further up the bridge of his nose.
"Alright, I will contact the nearest medical unit and send immediate back up, this might be dangerous so, any volunteers?" he asked, turning towards the Exorcists in the room.
"I'll go," Lavi said, interrupting him and stepping forward.
"I'll go too," Allen said, looking between Lavi and Komui. Komui sighed and nodded in approval, and in a flash they darted out of the room.
The ran down the hallways of the order and made their way down to the boats to get to the train station as fast as they could and in a matter of minutes they were on the train headed for Manchester station.
"Hey Lavi, we have a couple hours before we get to Manchester, do you mind telling me who Arianna is?" Allen asked, curiosity lacing his voice as he leaned forward. The somewhat solemn and depressed expression of Lavi's faded, and a smile appeared across his face.
"Well, she's an exorcist from the Asian Branch of the Black Order," Lavi started, stopping to stare out the window. He had a far away look in his eye for a moment before returning to meet Allen's eyes. His intrigued stare told Lavi to continue.
"I met her a few years ago, the old panda and I were on an assignment to find all the record keepers around Manchester, to put a file together ourselves. When we got to a small town it started pouring down with rain. We didn't know anyone and we had nowhere to go, but as we were looking around for an inn, we bumped into her." Lavi said and a small smile crept onto Lavi's face.
"Her short black hair was ruffled and her blue eyes were curious. She asked if we were travelers and if we needed a place to stay. She lived alone and she had a spare room that we could use and we didn't ask questions." Lavi explained and Allen still had a confused look on his face.
"So, you didn't know she was an accommodator then?" Allen asked, sitting back.
"I'm getting to that." Lavi answered with a smirk.
"Gramps and I never told her our names, back then, he didn't trust anyone." Then he laughed.
"Although, I did sneakily tell her to call me Lavi. We stayed there for a few days, we would go out during the day, searching for the records and at night, Arianna would cook for us and we'd sleep. Well, according to Gramps anyway." He said with a sly grin and Allen felt unsure.
"I snuck into Arianna's room and we would tell stories, or we would sneak out of her apartment and go for a midnight walk. Well, when it wasn't raining," Lavi said with a light laugh.
"It was so much fun, but we had to leave and Arianna couldn't come. We couldn't tell her why and it broke my heart." He said over dramatically.
"She walked with us to the edge of the town and we said our goodbyes. When she hugged me, it felt like she didn't want to let go. When our back turned and we started walking, and that's when it happened." Lavi said and fell silent for a moment.
"You're going to stop the story there?!" Allen almost screamed. Then he blushed and regained his composure. Lavi laughed.
"Man, I knew I was a good story teller, but I never thought you'd get hooked on it so easily," he said and laughed again. Allen sighed.
"Just continue already," he said with a small smile.
"Well we started walking to the next town and I heard Arianna yell, and before we knew it, an Akuma exploded above us. Gramps and I turned around and we saw Arianna holding this long silver spear with a white lotus flower just before the blade. She looked as shocked as we were." Lavi said, leaning back and putting his hands behind his head.
"As for how she became an exorcist, I wanted her to travel with us. I mean come on, she was cute! Having a cute girl by my side all day everyday would have been the best!" Lavi said smiling to himself and Allen face palmed.
"But no, Gramps wouldn't let me have one moment of happiness. He contacted the nearest finder and told them to escort Arianna to the Asian Branch of the Black Order, saying that the Chan family would be the best environment for her to train in." He said and Allen seemed deep in thought.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Allen asked, Lavi put his arms beside him and looked out the window.
"A few weeks ago, she visited the European branch to have a meeting with Komui, but we only got to see each other for a few minutes before she was sent on another assignment." He said sadly but then a smile spread across his face and his eye lit up.
"Let me tell you though, she had changed. Her eyes still the same deep blue they were, and her hair still short and black, but damn her body!" He began to say and a small amount of blood leaked out of his nose.
"I was waiting for that," Allen muttered.
The trip was rather quiet after that, when they arrived at the train station, they were met with a finder.
"I'm Christopher," the finder said.
"Please follow me," he said and he ran off, followed by Lavi and Allen.
"How is she?" Lavi asked. The finder stayed quiet for a moment before answering.
"She's," he paused, trying to find the right words.
"Not doing so well," was all he could manage to say.
No one said anything after that. No one had anything to say.
They ran to a clearing, in the middle of a small dense forest just outside the town. Finder's bodies were scattered on the crimson stained ground. As they continued through the forest, another finder ran towards them.
"She hasn't improved," he said.
"Her breathing is shaky and uneven, and her pulse is weak, she might not have much time if we don't get her proper medical care," He added and led the way.
When they stopped they were met with an unpleasant scene before them. A girl, who looked to be seventeen, was lying unconscious, surrounded in her own blood. Her short black hair sprawled across the ground matted with blood. Her eyes clenched shut and her eyebrows knitted together in a painful expression, and her black exorcist uniform almost torn to shreds. She had two finders trying to attend to her wounds to the best of their ability.
Lavi's expression changed from worried to absolute shock.
"Arianna!" he called and ran over to her. Allen and Christopher walked behind him. Lavi fell to his knees and rested her head on his lap. Stroking the hair out of her face.
Lavi didn't think it would be this bad. He didn't think that he would react this way, but when he saw her form, soaked in crimson, he felt the colour drain from his face, and he lost his composure.
Allen felt sorry for his friend; he didn't want him to suffer like he did when he lost Mana.
"We need to get her back to the order, wherever those Akuma went, they aren't anywhere near here," Allen said; using his left eye to try and detect where the Akuma might have went.
"We've done everything we can and she isn't improving." One of the finders said, who had been kneeling beside Arianna.
"Let's bring her back then," Lavi said, being careful not to hurt her further as he picked her up and headed back to the train station.
