Still don't own Chrono Crusade

Chrono Crusade: The Two Worlds

Act One, Scene Two: The Meeting

New York's streets were pretty much empty at this time of night. As the two both drove passed the deserted roads, a disturbed Joshua talked with his partner to break the ice .

"Never seen the street so empty before..." Joshua said with a puzzled tone.

"You've never been this early before..." Aion replied. "What, you've scared all of a sudden?"

"No!" Joshua exclaimed. "But... there's something strange about all about this..."

"About what?"

A look of uncertainty flashed his eyes. "I just...well..."

"Forget it, we're already here."

The harbor front. It should have been buzzing of activity by now because of the morning shipments. Instead of ships and crewmen, cars and order officers occupied the area. Among the organized chaos stood Father Remington, with a bunch of high ranking officials. It was 5 in the morning.

"Ah, Joshua...Aion...it's good to see the both of you." Father said with a carefree smile.

"Yeah, yeah..." Joshua said unwavering. "You've better give a good explanation to bring me out here two in the morning. I...uph."

"Be respectable..." Aion said cautiously. "He has the power to suspend you, you know."

"I know."

"Your right Aion, I do." Remington said. "However when I do realize the impudence, I must also remember that you are two of our best officers. Now on to business."

The three entered a warehouse, half destroyed. Bodies everywhere and blood stained all over the place.

"Place looks like crap." Joshua said sarcastically.

"This place once housed treasured coming from Jerusalem." Father Remington explained. " They were on loan from a museum. Among Jerusalem's treasures where three decrypted swords; their origin, unknown. There have been some scared writings written on the swords that were translated. Only two were successfully translated however a one sword was too complex. The officials at Jerusalem were hoping that we could translate the last sword but before we could get it, this happened. Here are the photographs."

Remington handed the photographs to Aion. "Hmmm..." Aion said in suspicion.

"We believe it maybe the work of the sinners." Remington said. "They have been a number of reported cases of legions hanging around a seaside hotel. Investigate it immediately."

"Will do." Joshua said. "You know, Father, your the only person who can run the order and find time to slack off."

"I'll take that as a complement Joshua. Now you two better be off. We'll cover up this whole thing before the officials show up. Dismissed."

Joshua and Aion got back to the car and headed to the seaside.

"Sinners, eh..." Joshua had the look of anger and determination in his eyes. "Chrono, today's the day you're going to pay for the death of my sister."

Aion just sat there, dead silent. "Hmmm..." he murmured. He stared at the photos again

Well that a surprise. Father Remington the head of the order? Interesting. Please R&R and stay tunned to see what happens next.
