Without allowing the girl before him to finish her sentence, he forced her aside with little effort and at the same moment he swung his katana at Allen.
Allen launched his Anti-Akuma weapon and blocked the attack. He looked at his claw for a hand and saw it now had a long slash running down it.
Impossible! His anti-akuma weapon was made to withstand a bullet, but with one slash he had damaged it.
Is it plausible that katana...?
"What's with that arm?" The long-haired male questioned Allen. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw that the red-haired female had withdrawn her Anti-Akuma weapon, which looked like an ordinary dagger. He mentally scoffed at the sight of it.
What could she possibly do with a small weapon like that?
He diverted his attention back to the boy in front of him, when he heard him speak up. "This is an Anti-Akuma weapon. I am an exorcist."
"That's right." Ali backed him up and walked up to Allen's side.
"What? Gatekeeper!" The older male shouted at the stone face behind the two teens.
"But well..." Stoney stuttered. "If I can't determine his insides, how can we know for sure? What if he's an akuma?!"
"Allen is far from being an akuma!" Ali protested. Allen placed a hand on her arm to tell her it was okay.
"What she's trying to say is, I'm a human." Allen thought over something for a second, "well I'm a little cursed. But I'm still a nice human."
"Hmph whatever." The older male readied his katana and took up a stance. "If I check your insides, we will know for sure."
"Activate! Anti-Akuma weapon! I shall slice you with this, 'Mugen'."
A katana-type Anti-Akuma weapon!
Ali and Allen both shivered, and Allen wrapped his arms round her - as if to shield her.
The katana-wielder ran at the teens, brandishing his weapon.
Ali and Allen backed up a bit.
"Wait! really hold on! I'm not your enemy."
"You should have gotten a letter from Master Cross." The katana stopped short of Allen's left eye.
"A letter of recommendation from the general?"
"Yes a letter." Allen held up his hands. "It was addressed to a person named Komui."
"Kanda stop your attack!" Another males voice shouted from somewhere above them. "'To Komui: soon I will be sending two kids named (y/c) and Allen over there. Thanks. From Cross.'"
"Open the gate?" The stone face said with uncertainty.
"We allow you to pass Allen Walker and Ali Sien."
