IceFire

Chapter 2

As Kanda made his way down the spiral stair case, down to the underground labs, he came across two Gorgons. Damn it, I don't have time for this. He thanked the Gods they had been facing the other way, as he sliced the first's head from her shoulders. The second, however, turned at the sound of its partner's shriek. Clamping his eyes shut, Kanda slowed his breathing and let his senses range out to compensate for his lack of sight. Hearing a hiss, he dodged to the side, narrowly missing one of the snakes, which remunerated for the woman's lack of hair. Sidestepping a few more strikes, the man took his sword and stabbed it forwards, smirking at the feeling of the resistance as it stabbed through her abdomen, before pulling out. In the brief pause when the Gorgon tried to regain enough composure to continue the battle, he swiped the blade through her neck, beheading her. The snakes withered and shrivelled, as she continued to shriek, long after Kanda had already made it to the bottom of the stairs and through the door into the labs below.

The 'samurai' continued through the labs at a brisk pace until he approached the ice chamber. He had only been there once himself when Komui had had each member attempt to break through the ice globe that lay within. It was an oddity, that the science team had found just over five years ago now, which just did not seem to melt. In fact the room it was held in always had its heating up the highest in the whole damn castle that held the English headquarters for the Black Order. If it was not for the heating the door to the room would, most probably, have frozen shut within minutes of the orbs arrival. What was so strange about the ice sphere was the fact it did not seem to be just a cold substance but rather a substance that emitted the cold. This seemed to infuriate the scientists daily as they constantly said something nerdy along the lines of: 'coldness doesn't exist, just objects with limited amounts of thermal energy' and 'heat travels from hot objects to cold'. So, in other words, the thing went against the laws of science, which brought on the conclusion it was being influenced, in some way, by magic.

The scientists' most prominent discovery so far was there seemed to be a core to the frozen globe, something at the heart that gave out an incredible amount of energy that seemed to increase steadily as time passed. Komui had once mentioned that, if they were to measure it in terms of supernatural levels, when they first acquired the sphere it had been around a level two, however, when they re-measured it two years ago, it had been at the top of the level four scale. Now the magnitude was immeasurable, off the scales. Things that were unreadable were called level five, a power that was above anything that could ever be measured. Kanda had tried to break through the ice two years ago when it had been a high level four. He himself was also a high level four which meant he should be able to match the powers that lay within the globe. However, instead it had taken him several long hours to get his sword back after he had sliced into the ice, to have the blade freeze over and become trapped in the orb. He had not been in the room since. He knew it was childish, but he would never forgive the damn ice berg for trying to steal Mugen from him.

Now, two years later, he entered the room again, through a doorway where the door had been ripped off its hinges. He immediately felt the temperature difference. Looking around he found two of the Noah had already arrived. Tyki Mikk, the Noah of 'pleasure', and Skin Bolic, Noah of 'Wrath'. The fatter of the two was sucking on a lolly, the gigantic kind, in a swirl on a stick. Tyki had a cigarette between his own lips and was currently standing in front of the blasted block of ice. Skin, on the other hand, seemed to be temporarily trapped by one of the scientist's barriers that had recently been developed by Komui himself. Thinking of that damn scientist, where is he? Scanning the room he spotted Reever and Komui huddled behind an overturned desk. The barrier device was balanced on the edge of one of the table's legs.

"Che." The reserved and irritated sound seemed to draw the attention of everyone in the room.

"Ah, Kanda-kun!" The big sister complex in the beret exclaimed. "Get rid of that meany who destroyed my precious baby Komurin VIII!" He continued gesturing wildly at the Tyki guy. How that he mentioned it, Kanda could see random robot parts and gears dotted around the place. If the bastard wasn't a Noah, and I was Lavi, I would probably kiss that guy.

"Well, well, if it isn't the mighty Kanda Yuu." Tyki called across the room. "Now, what could you possibly be down here for? Hmm?" Gritting his teeth, Kanda turned his attention back on the two Noahs before him. He slowly pulled Mugen out of its sheath and held it out, falling into his usual fighting stance. "Oi, sweet-tooth, keep the vamp busy, I'll check out this lump of ice, see what they're hiding." With that the Noah of pleasure walked up to the ice and placed a hand on it, trying to work out its secrets. Skin, enraged by the nickname, crunched the lolly between his teeth, taking the sweet clean off the stick, which he dropped to the floor before charging Kanda, crashing straight through the supposed restraining barrier.
