~Lavi's Pov~

We had just found out not to long ago that Jarrod and Eona told us that we were in a new world called Alskar and now we were sitting in an almost deserted park at one of the only benches.

"How are we going to get back?" Lenalee asked softly in a worried. That's right not only are we in world we were also stuck, the doorway closed while we were busy taking in our new surroundings.

"Not a clue" sighed Allan "perhaps we could go asking around?"

"And what are we gonna say Allan? Hi! My friends and I are from a different world and don't know how to get home! Could you kindly point us in the next direction a magical door will open so we can get back home?" I said miserably.

"Relax Lavi; we're all worried about what's going on at home with those creatures going around. It's hard for all of us to grasp the situation right now." Lenalee's reminder of home caused the three of us to sigh.

"We might not need to ask them directly about our situation. We can simply ask them if they have ever heard of such creatures and if they say yes that's when we ask them if they know how to get home or how to beat them." We sat in silence contemplating Panda's suggestion; however that silence didn't last long.

" 'ey" We all looked up to see a man with red hair, purple eyes and was wearing black pants with blue edges, black long sleeve shirt with the same blue on the outer edges and a deep blue-purple vest.

"Haha, I'm sorry but I couldn't help but over hear your little dilemma" The red head said

"Our dilem-? Oh! That! W-well yo-you see that, that was uhh th-"Allan began to stumble over his words trying to find en excuse explain what he had overheard.

"Relax, I'm not going to go telling you that your crazy or go spreading some sort of rumour, actually I know exactly what your talking about."

"You do!" This statement caught all of us off guard we hadn't expected anyone to really know what we were talking about, then again this world does seem to be packed full of surprises and things to catch you off guard.

"You bet! Well I don't know much myself, I only know a little bit however I do know someone who knows a lot."

"Who!" I urgently asked

"Ekon, he's the head of the assassin organization I work for. If anyone can help you it's him."

"Wait...your an assassin?" Allan asked suddenly unsure if he was someone we could trust.

"Yes, but there's no need to worry, I've got no reason to kill you nor does anyone else so if you want I can take you to him"

We all looked at each other nervously unsure if we should trust him and go or if we should stay here and try to think of another possibility. Figuring this would probably be our only chance

"We would appreciate that...sire?" Lenalee replied for all of us.

"Oh! I haven't introduced myself, my names Evan"

"It's great to meet you and we are grateful for your help we are extremely lucky to have been approached by someone who knows this sort of thing, I'm Bookman, this is Lenalee, Allan and the red haired idiot over there is Lavi."

"I'm not an idiot you stupid Panda!" this lead me to being hit in the face by that old geezer.

"Be quite you idiot!"

Evan was laughing at the little argument but we soon stopped as he motioned us to follow him back into town and out through another gate and explained that we will need to walk to the next town where the hideout was located.

~Time skip~

It took about two hours to reach our destination and we were now standing outside a tall white wall that surrounds the town.

"Is that blood!" I asked

"What that? Yea that's dried blood it's been there for a while. At first we would wash it off but no matter how often we did there always seemed to be more the next time then what we washed off the time before so we just stopped bothering." Evan stated shrugging his shoulders at the looks of disgust and shock that we were giving him.

"Well come on! It's getting late if we don't get in soon we wont be able to enter at all!"

The instant we stepped into the town it was obvious the major difference between here and the town before. In this town the buildings we old, almost ready to collapse the walls unable to support their own weight it was amazing they were still standing, there were broken statues, roads were unpaved and torn apart. The place itself looked un-naturally gloomy almost as though it had gone to hell and back more then once and to further increase that idea, the further we got into the town we began to see children crying and dead bodies. Most of the bodies were scattered across the ground pushed off to the sides to make way for walking where as some others were being suspended in midair from being impaled, the intestines from some of the ones impaled were barely attached and were hanging out from their bodies wrapping around them like boa constrictors and their faces showing complete agony even in death.

It was a horrible and gut churning sight, none of us could find our voices all that was coming out when we did try to say something weren't even real words and even if we could there probably wouldn't be able to find any words to or use to describe what we were seeing at this moment. I can't keep my eyes from wandering, inspecting ever little sound I hear only to regret it and wish I had not looked to begin with. Evan was doing the same thing just as mortified as the rest of us but kept on walking trying to keep his eyes on the path in front of him. About half way into town we got to a large building that was in better shape then everything else we had seen so far. It was obviously important because it had guards standing at the front gate, we couldn't see what they looked like because they wore hoods that covered most of their faces.

"We're here" Evan said, interrupting the uncomfortable silence that had engulfed us when we had first entered the town. However he wasn't the relaxed guy we had seen when walking here, instead he was serious and look as though someone was about to creep up behind him and kill him.

"When we enter the gate though I'll need you all to be careful, don't get me wrong though the others are really friendly, well most of them are. But several of them have a really bad temper and they were trained to kill and if they become irritated with an outside there isn't any rule stating they cant kill you as well."

We took the warning seriously and decided it would be best to stay silent so that we don't accidently say something that one of the people with the temper might get angry about. But in all honesty I think we all silently agreed that we shouldn't speak because none of us could find the words to do so, we were all too nervous and unsure about what may happen.

If you looked past everything you saw and looked at the details you could easily see that this place had once been a rich, bright and friendly place to live but something terrible happened and turned that around. We got to the spiral staircase and got about half way up when we began to hear voices it sounded like there was one man and two girls, the man was older sounding like he was in his mid to late forties and the girls sounded like there weren't much older then me. As soon as Evan knocked on the door the people inside instantly stopped talking, there was shuffling on the other side of the door but a few short moments later we were told to come in.

The inside of this room was in better shape then the rest of the building, there were six book shelves around the outer edges, a big window near the top of the wall, a large desk with papers scattered on it, a red carpet at the front of the desk and two smaller windows on the left and right of the room. Behind the desk there was a middle aged man who I'm guessing is Ekon had brown hair kept back in a low ponytail, silver eyes and was wearing a long blue worn out robe with a gold swirling patterns. One of the two girls that was standing on the right side had black hair with pale blue, almost silver tips that was kept in two pigtails and had one blue eye and one green one. The girl on the left had long blue-silver hair going down to mid-back with black tips that was in a low ponytail like the man, the same eyes as the girl before but backwards and both were wearing the same outfits as Evan. The two of them were standing off to the far left of the room observing our every move. I was about to go up to them and ask if I could interest one of them in lunch or dinner sometime but one stern look from Evan stopped me in my tracks. It was then that I realized that they might be some of the people he warned us about so I reluctantly stepped back into my pervious spot. Even though it wouldn't be best to go talk to them right now doesn't mean I couldn't look though and I had very good reason to because they were hot.

"Ekon" Evan said bowing and proving my earlier assumption.

"Welcome back Evan, I assume the job went well?"

"Yes sir, target H. Gilserm has successfully been killed. And umm I was wondering what happened to town? The last time I was here it was well... It wasn't like this"

"The town was recently attacked by the devils. We managed to defend the town but as you can see the town was basically destroyed but it could have been worse. If you want more details then that you will have to ask one of your comrades. But great job on the assignment and it would also seem that you've brought some friends back with you."

"Errrmm, yes sir, you see their world has been attacked by the devils."

Devils, is that what they are called? I guess that makes sense they are like devils. There was shuffling to the left of the room, looking over the two girls had started moving forward toward the desk to stand on either side of Ekon now appearing to be interested in the conversation.

"The devils?" As Ekon asked this he scanned each of us thoroughly before looking back at Evan for more clarification.

"Yes sir, I overheard them talking about how they had to get back to their world because it was being attacked, they didn't call them devils but the way that the conversation was going it was obvious what they were talking about." Evan replied instantly when he saw Ekon was ready to continue with their conversation.

"They were obviously talking about the devils?" the girl with the black hair asked frowning slightly

"How do you know for a fact that they were talking about them?" the girl with silver hair finished the sentence.

"Um..well just the actions they were saying about the devils, like how they came through a universal portal and how they couldn't find a way to beat them"

It was obvious the girls weren't satisfied with Evan's explanation and seemed like they were about to argue back.

"Luna" the girl with silver hair looked at Ekon

"Aura" The black haired girls head snapped toward Ekon when her name was called.

"Yeah?" They both asked in perfect union.

"Behave."

Instantly the two girls shut up without any hesitation as Ekon stood up and walked out in front of his desk to stand in front of us

"I apologize for my rudeness; I don't believe I have introduced myself." He said with a friendly smile

"My name is Ekon I'm the boss of this organization and the two girls in the back are my daughters Luna and Aura."

"It's nice to meet you sir, I'm Lenalee, that's Bookman, Allan and Lavi." Pointing at each of us as she introduced us Lenalee replied in a friendly tone.

"Haha, there is no need for such formalities Lenalee, please do call me Ekon. But now, introductions aside, why don't you tell us what has been happening in your world?"

Stepping forward to stand near the front of the group Bookman explained everything that has been happening since seven months ago not leaving a single detail out. While he was doing so I took this chance to go talk to Luna and Aura for some...interrogation questions.

"Sooooo how old are you two?"

"19." Quick and straight to the point, not to mention in complete union like before. But it was obvious that didn't like taking the long way around things.

"You two are sisters yea? How much is the age difference?"

"We're twins"

STRIKE! The two of them are twins that just makes things even better!"

"Twins? That's awesome! So uhh are you both interested in going out for lunch or dinner sometime?"

"LAVI!" Everyone yelled

"Hehehe" scratching the back of my head I walked back to the group but not before quickly winking to the twins.

"Idiot! What do you think you're doing?" Bookman asked irritated, but not before he kicked me in the face.

"Obviously I was trying to get a date" I replied after walking back to the group.

"I wouldn't do that" Ekon said chuckling

"Why not?"

"Well, there would be a few people anger with you, including me and Luna and Aura don't really go for that sort of thing"

"...oh"

I'm pretty sure that I should be worried about the boss of an assassin organization being angry with me.

"But anyways, continuing on with our conversation, I do know how to help you."

"You do!" Allan was the first one to reply.

"I should rephrase that, I know someone who can"

"Does this mean we're going to have to go on another trip?" It was easy to tell that Allan really didn't want to go on a wild goose chase, none of us do.

"It alright, you won't need to go anywhere"

"We won't?"

"Nope" Ekon was smiling by this point, knowing we were getting anxious and excited, man for an old geezer he sure did like messing with people...I guess that it makes sense considering the sort of organization he runs.

"Then who?"

Ekon turned around "Luna, Aura come here please"

The twins walked up to stand side by side just behind Ekon.

"Them?" I asked confused now

"Yup"

"Bu-"

"Is there a problem with that?" Aura asked

"No! No! Of course not! We're just shocked is all!" I replied quickly.

"But uhh how is it that you could help us exactly?"

"Use old magic or a magic based weapon" said Luna

"Old magic?" Lenalee asked confused

"Old magic, it was believed to have been an ancient source of energy used by both druid and priestesses that would give them the power to control the things around them, mostly nature." I answered

"But how is it you know of old magic? And how is it that it'll help us?"

Aura smiled and replied.

"We know of old magic because we can use it, very few people can now a days because most people are no longer in touch with nature. As for helping you, I bet what you didn't know is that the devils have old magic coursing through them, they were one of the original beings of the universe and were the first to use it. Unlike other worlds and beings they did not lose their connection, they use the magic in them to automatically regenerate any wound they may get, no matter how bad."

"Unless of course you attack them with old magic as well, by doing so you cut them off from their natural source of it in them preventing them from regenerating and thus successfully killing them. The same thing happens if you use a weapon that is either made by magic or has magic transferred into it. This doesn't have as much of an effect but it does get the job done." Luna finished.

"And you can both use old magic?" Bookman asked interested to know that someone knows the ancient art.

"Didn't we say earlier that we did?" Luna teased

"So that means your gonna help us?" Lenalee asked hopefully

"No" the two of them bluntly replied

"WHAT!" Allan and I freaked, they have the ability to beat them and yet they won't help us!

"We wont, we have our own problems here, besides judging from your story your world is already heading towards destruction." Luna was getting irritated almost like we had asked them a stupid question.

"Why should we put our time and effort into helping your world when in the end you'll all just destroy it in the end?" Aura stated this as though it was a thing everyone should know.

"We won't help you with your problems nor do we want to be anywhere near your world." The both of them are quite blunt. But now I'm getting frustrated, forget about lunch or dinner!

"But we need your help! " Allan yelled

"Our answer is n-"

"Luna and Aura would be more then happy to help you out" Ekon intervened

"WHAT! Not a chance are we gonna do that!"

"Yes you will"

"We have enough problems here that we have to take care of" said Aura

"Not to mention our jobs!" Luna stated

"We will be able to handle ourselves for the time being, they however will not be able to. You will go help them"

"Sir" Evan piped up for the first time since the twins first spoke.

"I don't think it's a good idea to force Luna and Aura to do something like that"

"Thank you!"

"Evan, you are dismissed; we have a lot of business to talk about."

"I believe the two of them are fully capable of making these sort of decisions themselves!"

"What happens with Luna and Aura are my children so I will be the one to decide what will happen. Now Evan your dismissed so please take your leave, we have some business to take care of"

So that's what happened to the town, it's amazing it's still standing they must really be good!

"...yes sir" Evan bowed and walked out of the room but not before throwing Luna and Aura an apologetic look and closed the door behind him slowly walking down the long staircase.

"Luna, Aura I'm going to send you out there on your own, you two are some of the best fighters we've got so you should be able to get the job done quickly and efficiently."

"But fath-"

"Please, no buts. You will go and help them out"

"...yes father" the two of them mumbled reluctantly after a few minuets of a silent stair down between the three of them.

Perhaps there may be some hope for our world yet.
