It Begins:
Allen and Rabi traveled away from the town once haunted by a "Vampire". That man, Aleister Crowley was an exorcist. They had sent Crowley back to headquarters with directions, so they can move on, on their mission to retrieve General Cross. Linali and Mr. Bookman was waiting for them a few stops away near the boarder of China. Allen's head was pounding from his battle earlier with Crowley and the akuma. His head had been smashed pretty hard back there and he had became a little more disoriented now that adrenalin had faded. Rabi shook him gently as he began to doze off.
"Hey," Rabi said quietly shaking him again, "Stay awake for a while, you might have a concussion."
"Thanks for looking out for me." Allen smiled and blinked sleep away. "You were hit pretty hard too. Are you okay?" Rabi smiled and nodded.
"Sore as hell." Rabi chuckled "But I will live, no head aches or anything though."
"I hope Mr. Crowley gets to headquarters okay." Allen sighed sinking deeper into the train bench.
"He should be fine, finders have been sent to meet him." Rabi told the boy slipping away into sleep slowly, desperate to keep him focused and awake. "This is the second conformer you have found isn't it?"
"Yeah I guess." Allen murmured, fighting sleep. "Yeah, Miss Miranda and now Mr. Crowley."
"I heard that Miranda has completed her training and is ready to start mission soon." Rabi said to Allen moving to sit next to him.
"That is nice." Allen said sleepily. "I'm just going to sleep…" Allen slurred giving up.
"Shit." Rabi shook the boy hard, but Allen's eyes closed. Then suddenly the boy jerked awake in pain. Rabi looked down and saw Timcanpi had clamped down on Allen's finger.
"Oww!" Allen said looking down at Timcanpi. "When did you get here?"
"I sent him ahead to meet you two." Linali's voice came from the golem.
"Well he came just in time." Rabi told her, Allen shook his head quickly for Rabi to stop, but Rabi continued, "I was losing Allen."
"Allen? What happened?" Linali sounded worried. "Are you two okay?"
"Nothing." Allen said quickly, "I was just falling asleep."
"We found a new conformer, but he didn't want to hear our story without a fight." Rabi explained, "We got a little banged up, but we are alive."
"It is going to be night soon, Mr. Bookman and I will be going into the town's inn." Linali told them, "If you get here before dawn, come to the inn alright?"
"Understood." The two boys said as the transmission ended.
Allen had fallen asleep an hour later, after Rabi determined that it was okay for him to go to sleep. The train arrived at the station at six in the morning. Rabi and Allen got off the train stretched sleepily. They looked around the station. The station was situated a little away form the small town on the boarder of Russia and China.
"You want to head out into town to meet them?" Rabi asked looking at the large clock mounted on the station wall, it told him that Linali and Bookman should be heading towards them. "We may not have time to catch some sleep though."
"Let's go into town." Allen shrugged. The two boys started to head into town. Just outside the town Allen noticed a group of people standing on the edge of town. Allen's eyes activated.
"Akumas." He said quietly as his Innocence invocated, they began to stray towards the woods outside the town. With their Innocence invocated the two exorcists ambushed the crowd. They managed to take out three akumas each before the akumas changed into their real form. Allen turned around he sensed something behind him. Reinforcements had shown up. Allen quickly formed his weapon in to the gun sword as a group of akumas lunged at him. He managed to send them blasting away, thank goodness the akumas were mostly level ones. Allen turned to face two level two akumas. One of the monsters lung heavily at him, Allen dodged it and blasted the akuma from behind. The akuma stumbled and turned to face him as the other one smacked heavily down on Allen.
"Shit." Allen swore throwing the akuma off his back. Allen finished off the first akuma with another blow. He turned around just in time to see the akuma that had jumped on him leveled up and turned towards Rabi who had his back towards it fending off another akuma.
"Rabi!" Allen called, but it was too late, Allen jumped and placed himself between the akuma's newly evolved weapon and Rabi. Allen felt the sharp blade of the akuma rip across his chest.
"Allen!" Rabi cried as he turned around after destroying his own akuma. Allen with his last bit of strength blasted the akuma that had wounded him, and then collapsed against his friend. "Oh god Allen."
"We should go meet Linali and Mr. Bookman." Allen gasped holding his chest.
"We have to go get this looked at." Rabi said helping Allen up. They staggered towards the town, as they reached the gates to the town they noticed something was amidst. The buildings were in ruins, there were no people, but parts of akuma littered the streets.
"Linali and Bookman must have been attacked as well." Allen gasped moving faster through the town. The movement aggravated his wound and caused him to fall. Two figures appeared from behind a building, Rabi reached for his weapon, but Allen stopped him.
"They are not akumas" Allen gasped in pain. As the two figures approached Rabi could see that it was Linali and Bookman.
"Are you guys okay?" Rabi called to them. Linali recognized them and they began running as well.
"Yeah we are fine, when we got into this town after we terminated communication we saw a massive akuma raid." Linali said as they approached.
"I guess we must have found the reinforcements outside the town." Rabi told them. "Bookman! Allen's hurt, I was hoping that the town would have a hospital or at least a doctor, but guess not anymore."
"Allen are you okay?" Linali said kneeling down beside him.
"I'm fine really." Allen forced a smile, "it's just a scratch, and I think it has stopped bleeding." Allen winced as Bookman lifted his shirt to examine the damage. The angry red gash was long, but not fatally deep. Bookman looked through his supplies and produced some bandages and a few pills. He handed the pills to Allen and began wrapping the bandages around the wounded boy's chest.
"Take them." Bookman ordered as Allen stared at the pills in his hand. "They should help with the pain and make sure your wound does not become infected." Allen didn't need to be told twice, he quickly swallowed the bitter pills.
"We all need some rest." Bookman said after he finished bandaging up Allen's wound. "Let's find some shelter."
