Comrade
Chapter 1
"oh! Are you alright?...
You got caught in a trap, you poor thing…
I'll get you out if here, just hang in there…
Don't look at me with those eyes I wont leave you here my friend!"
…
Silence.
Standing at the face of an ominous cliff stood a lone white figure, it's silver eyes looking up with a curious gleam.
The white figure stood still for a moment looking almost thoughtful, before crouching down and made a jump up the cliff.
People in white lab coats where bustling around worried about their unidentified intruder.
"Ack! It jumped up the cliff!" Johnny yelled.
"well supervisor, what're we going to do?" Reever asked, making the afore mentioned supervisor finally look up from his coffee.
He turned back to the monitor and took another sip of his coffee before answering,
"we wait."
"but brother, what if it's an Akuma?" Lenalee asked her brother
"we'll find out soon enough" Komui answered taking yet another calm sip of his coffee, making Reever's eye twitch at his chief's childish behavior.
White shot up the top of the cliff where the Black order was located and landed gracefully.
Only now revealing it's true appearance.
A young boy stood up, looking not older that 16, he had red marking on his pale face, silver eyes and hair as white as unblemished snow.
He calmly walked up to the gate keeper, his expression almost unreadable.
He cocked his head to the side and said; "hello, I came here by word of a friend."
…?
The boy started looking confused as to why nothing was happening until one of the golems flying around answered.
"Take the examination from the gate keeper in front of you."
The boy just stared blankly at the stone face.
Suddenly the stone face shot forward and took the boy by surprise when a booming voice sounded out of seemingly nowhere.
"X-ray examination, determining whether subject is Akuma or human"
The gatekeeper stays silent for a while before it speaks
"c-cannot I-Identify, subject won't show…"
The voice glitched slightly, when suddenly X marks appeared in his eyes, it yelled.
"This guy is out of here!"
The boy simple stood there completely unfazed, he simply blinked at the gate keepers remark.
"He isn't human!"
"… No, I'm not." The boy stated without blinking.
They where shocked at the gate keepers statement.
Intruder alert! Intruder alert!
"Hey, are there exorcists in the building?" Reever asked,
"Kanda just returned from his mission." Number 65 answered
"There's no need to worry, He is already at the scene." Lenalee reassured.
"You sure have courage coming here alone…"
Kanda said, before jumped down from a ledge on the black order, drawing his sword and attacked the white boy.
The boy simply raised an arm and blocked the offending sword which didn't even leave a scratch.
'Innocence?' the white boy thought.
Kanda himself was baffled, if not, annoyed by how easily the boy blocked his katana.
He was also suspicious.
"You… how did you block my sword?"
"didn't I tell say this before, I'm not human…"
He looked thoughtful for a while.
"… But I'm not a treat either, there is no reason to fear me."
Kanda glared.
"Explain."
"I got send here by Cross Marian, he told me that what I was looking for could be found here."
"….what?! Gate keeper!"
"well if I can't see his insides how can I be sure?!"
The boy blinked a couple of times.
"I'm not a 'not human' I can reassure you that…"
Kanda looked slightly confused at not human, but quickly composed himself again.
"Prove it!" Kanda yelled while readying his katana to strike again.
"I carry one of the stoned human call Innocence."
The boy raised his necklace which has an ornate cross shaped pendant that contains a glowing crimson piece of innocence.
Kanda looked unconvinced
"… as I stated before I was send here by male human named Cross Marian, He stated to me that he had send a letter, addressed to a human named Komui Lee."
Inside the black order everyone turned to Komui when The boy said that.
"you there!" Komui pointed to a random scientist "Search my desk!"
The scientist looked horrified when he looked toward Komui's desk.
It looked like a bomb exploded after a ravaging tornado.
…
Komui, after a while had passed, raised his arm into the air and shouted;
"I help too!"
After a while of searching like fools, The random scientist exclaimed; "I found it!"
"Read it!" Komui ordered while throwing the important looking papers into the air.
"To Komui,
Sending two people your way,
I think, whatever,
I won't care to give details.
He/they will know you name, probably.
Thanks,
Cross Marian"
"The detail in the letter says it all, it's true! Reever squat leader, stop Kanda."
"Clean your desk once in a while!" Reever yelled at Komui before turning to a golem
"Kanda stop your attack! Kanda!" He shouted, sounding panicked.
"Lenalee, help me set up please" Komui asked while walking towards his younger sister,
"It's seems that a new member has arrived" He said cheerfully.
"O-Open gate…"
Author's thoughts:
chapter 1 updated on 17-12-2015 (Day-Month-Year)
I simply erased some unnecessary sentences and have rewritten some parts to make them fit the story better.
Also, you can see this chapter as a prologue to the story. That's why it's so short.
As always, feel free to correct me on any mistakes, I can only learn from them~
(Cross told Allen what to say when he arrived as well, if you're confused from the later chapters)
