Strange Happenings in Shinra and Shinjuku
Chapter one
Disclaimer: I don't own final fantasy or anything to do with get backers. All I own is a notebook and a pen to write down all my random musings.
Summary: What happens when Aeris decides to hire the Get Backers for an assignment? Well a puff of pink smoke later they end up in Advent Children where havoc ensues!
And just to clear things up:
Yes Aeris is dead
Yes in the afterlife she has become devilish
And no I'm not anything when I'm writing this…well except those three cans of red bull…heh heh
Things all started whenever Hevn, the mediator of the Transporters and Retrievers called for a meeting. She seemed excited, for the reason was that as she handled the cases she got a 30 handling fee, and as her 'employees' were being offered 10 million yen each the blonde woman was in heaven. (AN: as in the name.)
Ban and Ginji were there first, well technically they are there all the time scrounging off Natsumi's kindness for the poor, on with the story, next came Emishi, Shido and Kazuki as they all were coming from the infinity fortress. Himiko showed up around five minutes after to Ban's amusement, it was great to rub her lateness in, well until she slapped him up the face, leaving a great red hand-print on the side of his face, and as retaliation he chased her around the café.
"Get back here you little brat!" he yelled hopping the table to try and get her.
The rest looked at this with a mix of amusement and the urge to prevent Paul's café from getting destroyed in the process. Ban sprinted past the group for about the fourth time until Shido decided to halt the manic chase. By sticking out his foot the beast master successfully stopped the snake in his tracks or rather caused him to do a face plant and to skid ungracefully to a stop at a very pissed off Paul's feet.
"This damage…" he said motioning around the now wrecked café with his arm, "…will all go on to your tab." He said in a low voice, the scary aura descending and making every other person cling to each other for dear life, so much so that no-one noticed the final member of the team arrive.
"My my, what an interesting group…this will be an interesting job indeed," Akabane drawled while seeming to glide into the room, causing the mighty thunder emperor chibi to cower behind Shido who was shaking in laughter at the mini Ginji chibi. As was Kazuki and Emishi who were in stitches while trying in vain to contain themselves.
"Oi! Shut up the lot of you, now I'm only going to explain this mission once you got that!" Hevn yelled over the quiet chatter causing everyone in the café to go silent.
Ban got up and smirked at the blonde woman before commenting, "Definite PMS," he muttered under his breath only to be slapped, not by one but by three girls who all had nails. Natsumi, Himiko and Hevn hissed at Ban who was again lying on the floor in pain. "Owie," was all he could manage.
"Pervert…well anyway before I was interrupted…" she said giving a glare down at Ban, "…there is a big assignment going down and it so happens that the client asked for the best of the best, that's why all of you are here, the client will be arriving in around fifteen minutes so tidy yourselves up, I don't want to be associated with a scruffy retrieval team." Hevn explained quickly to receive a couple of glowering looks from her last comment.
Give or take fifteen minutes of constant bickering…
Hevn waited outside the Honky Tonk for the client and downing a couple of painkillers as well, as much as she was getting paid for this, the petty wars always got on her nerves. Ban and Shido always waged a war, due to the continuous, childish name calling and usually ending out in a brawl which pushed Ban and Ginji's tab up even further in the form of damages. Mind you to everyone else this was fun to watch especially Emishi who commentated the fight, on one occasion he even got hold of a video camera and yeah he did get strung up for it or rather chased up a tree by a couple of Shido's animals.
The blonde woman tapped he foot impatiently, the client was late by about half an hour and the war inside the café was getting steadily worse, she came back into the Honky Tonk soon after only to see something appear in the middle of the café making everyone freeze, Paul just looked up from his newspaper for a second then continued reading, 'damn these clients are getting stranger by the day,' he decided then went back to finishing his crossword in the hope of peace as soon as those living eejits left.
The woman who appeared in a puff of bright pink smoke was acting as if everything was normal, to be fair every single occupant of the Honky Tonk was staring at her in fascination, well except Paul who seemed to thing his newspaper was more important. She was wearing a bright pink dress and he brown hair was tied back in a plait with a pink bow, what seemed to stump everyone was the fact that she had wings and a halo.
"Hello there, I'm here to hire your retrieval team and to pay them," she said with a calm smile, Hevn walked over, still completely stumped by the girl's sudden appearance.
"Hello my name is Hevn and I am the one whom you contacted…what did you say your name was again?" Hevn asked still in a daze while shaking hands with the girl.
"Oh my name is Aeris…oh have you informed the team about my assignment?" she asked curiously.
Hevn nodded and the girl rubbed her hands with a smirk.
"Well now that that's sorted…lets go!" she said gleefully.
Hevn raised an eyebrow in curiosity.
"Just one question…how?" she asked with a slightly worried look on her face.
Aeris grinned deviously making everyone in the room pale and back away.
"This way," Aeris said clapping her hands and everyone in the room vanished in a cloud of mockingly innocent looking bright pink smoke.
