Chapter 2: The first mission
A few days later, after Sandra was fully recovered, she was given her Innocence from Komui, in the presence of Hebraska.
"A bracelet?", Sandra asked disbelievingly and put it on her left arm.
"It's not just any bracelet", explained Komui, "It's from Innocence. It's your innocence, only you're able to activate it."
"Okay ..." Sandra replied disbelievingly and stared at the bracelet.
"You're going to learn to deal with it. Best on a mission", Komui said confidently.
"What kind of mission?", Sandra asked, not understanding what he wanted from her.
"I'll tell you later. Lenalee will introduce you to the other exorcists. Then I'll explain everything else in my office together with the others."
"Eh he ... okay ...", it was not exactly enthusiastic about Sandra.
Shortly thereafter, Sandra accompanied Lenalee to the dining room of the Black Order. Together they got something to eat and sat down at a table. It did not take long and there were still a few exorcists to the two.
"Oh hello Lenalee", Allen greeted them kindly and sat down beside her.
Lenalee smiled as she saw her friends.
"Hello Allen. Hello Lavi."
"Hey Lenalee", Lavi greeted her, and sat down opposite the two and Sandra.
"Ey, take a little space", a bad-tempered Kanda Sandra muttered, because he wanted to sit down there as all the other seats were occupied.
"Tell me, who is that?", Lavi asked Lenalee curiously.
"She is new here. Her name is Sandra", Lenalee said.
"Oh ... eh ... sorry", Sandra stammered nervously to Kanda. "By the way, my name is Sandra", she added with a smile and held out her hand.
"I do not care what your name is!"
"Is this also somewhat more friendly? I just wanted to introduce myself", she said irritated, pulling her hand back.
"Don't get on my nerves girl", he said, looking at her with an impassioned look.
Then Sandra got really angry because she hated not to be addressed with her name.
"And she seems to be working directly with Yu", Lavi said amused laughing.
"That's kind of familiar to me", Allen added.
"Girl?" She stood, visibly irritated, with her hand clenched to fist. "I also have a name!"
Kanda, who of course does not allow himself to be threatened by a girl, also stood up. Immediately he drew his sword.
"Listen to girl! I want to eat in peace and you are going to get on my nerves! I have no problem in reading you the Levites, even if you are a girl and new! "
"Then do it!", she said self-confidently, grinning at him provocatively.
"You do not want it any other way", he said irritably and attacked her with his sword.
Sandra dodged him effortlessly. "Oops", she said cheekily, grinning.
"Well wait!", hissed Kanda and reached out again. She dodged him again. The whole thing went on a few more times.
"Hey look, the new one makes Yu fully finished", Lavi said amused as he watched Sandra as she always left Kanda. Kanda went so hard on the nerves. When he noticed the others were amusing him, he pulled back his sword and sat down at the table again.
"Tse ... beaten by a girl ...", he murmured irritably and then ate his noodles.
Sandra also sat down at the table.
"Oh yes, these are Allen, Lavi and Kanda", Lenalee explained, and Sandra now introduced the three.
"Oh ... eh ... I'm sorry that I have not yet imagined, but that just really excited me. My name is Sandra", she told Allen and Lavi.
"Nice to meet you", Allen said politely.
"That was not bad, as you let Yu look like", Lavi said laughing.
"Oh, well ... I do not like it if you do not take me seriously."
After eating, Allen, Lavi, Kanda and Sandra were summoned to Komui's office as they were together on a mission. Komui explained to them that Innocence was probably discovered and that they should be on their way to get it.
A little later the four exorcists sat together on the train. It was Sandra's first mission, so she was a bit excited because she had no idea what to expect and what exactly Akuma was.
The guys had already explained a few things about Innocence, the Millennium Counts and the Akuma, but still she could not picture them all. Kanda, as usual, was very quiet. Lavi talked most of the time.
"I'm alone with three guys ...", she thought, sighing.
"Stay calm sweety, nothing happens to you. We're with you", Lavi said loosely with a grin.
Sandra immediately looked at him irritably.
"Do not call me sweety", she said irritably.
She hated to be called like that and above all she hated to be underestimated.
"It's okay ...", Lavi grumbled.
Sandra decided to look stubbornly out of the window, hoping to have her peace.
"What was that?", whispered to Allen Lavi.
"What?" He asked unaware.
"Did you just try to flirt with her?"
"What? No! I just wanted to calm her down."
"It worked great", Allen said sarcastically.
When they finally arrived, they were at once received by some of the finders.
"Well, you're finally there", said one of the finders visibly relieved.
"Yes, where exactly is the Innocence", Allen asked kindly.
The finder pointed to one of the high mountains in the area. "Up there", he said.
Everyone turned to the mountain, which was really very high.
"What? Up there? ", came Lavi, immediately.
"Yeah, there's Akuma", the finder said.
Sandra looked towards the mountain. "This is my first mission and up there is this Innocence, looking for it", she thought, and was now determined on everything, "I am very curious about this Akuma."
"Great. But do we have a choice?", Allen said not exactly enthusiastically and looked to his exorcist colleagues.
"Good. Let's go! ", Kanda said and went on.
"Hey, wait for us Kanda", Allen told him at once. "We still know where we have to go!"
"High, that's enough", said Kanda just continuing.
"Always the same with him", Allen said just following him.
"Now wait!" Lavi called after them, but the two had long gone. He sighed once.
"Shall we go after?" Sandra asked, looking at him.
"What's left to us?"
"Well ...", the finder began, and the two exorcists turned their attention back to him.
"What? Now tell me!", Lavi said impatiently.
"There is a path leading directly to the summit. But I suspect that there are also many Akuma lurking there."
"You could have said that right away. We'll be ready with the Akuma", Lavi said. "Come on, maybe we'll catch the two idiots before they climb up the whole mountain."
"OK Good! Let´s go", agreed Sandra.
Together they went to follow Allen and Kanda. But too late, the two of them were long over all the mountains, on the mountain, on the way to the summit.
"How far is it still?", an annoyed Allen, who hung behind Kanda on the rock face and climbed out.
"Stop to complain beansproud!"
Allen looked once more towards the summit, which lay in thick mist. At the same time he had the feeling that at the top there would be something green.
Meanwhile, Lavi and Sandra took the easier route across the mountain.
"Look at these two idiots", Lavi laughed and saw how hard Allen and Kanda had to climb.
"Oh man ...", Sandra only sighed and followed Lavi.
The two followed the pledge. But suddenly this one ended up in front of them and on there went only steeply downhill.
"Oh ... It was probably the way ...", Lavi said surprised and looked up towards Mountain top.
"Yes right", Sandra noted.
Lavi continued to look up and thought for a moment.
"Sure, of course! Why did not I come up much earlier?", he suddenly said full of enthusiasm.
"Hm?" Sandra looked at him questioningly.
Lavi took his hammer, enlarged it, and sat on the pole.
"Sit down", he grinned at her.
"Eh? What are you up to?", she asked.
"It's easy, just fly high", he grinned.
"Oh", she said smiling, "but not necessary."
Now he looked at her in surprise. In the next moment, she lifted from the ground and hovered in the air. Lavi was really surprised, and could not believe what he saw at first.
"What? You can really fly?"
"Yes, as you can see", she grinned.
Together they flew, each in his own way, up to the summit of the mountain.
Allen and Kanda, who were still climbing, saw how Lavi and Sandra were already on their way to the mountain top.
"They really lucky ones", sighed Allen who already had his fingers frozen from the cold rock face.
"Beansproud! Continue climbing!", Kanda nodded.
"Yes Bakanda!", shouted angrily regretting already listening to this guy.
"Haha done! We're the first ones here", Lavi laughed hastily when they got to the top.
"Not really", a voice suddenly sounded behind them.
"What?!"
The two exorcists immediately turned around.
"Akuma! That was clear!", Lavi said while activating his Innocence.
"These are Akuma?", Sandra asked disbelieving, seeing her for the first time.
"Yes! Get ready for battle!", he shouted, holding his hammer protectively over her and himself as the Akuma had already started to fire.
"Ok ... But why do I need the Innocence? Can not I just destroy them?"
"Quite simply, because it frees the soul that is trapped in the Akuma", Allen explained, suddenly appearing with Kanda and doing the Akuma, which attacked Lavi and Sandra.
"Okay!" Sandra activated her innocence, which turned into a fingerless black glove on her left arm.
"Hey Allen and Yu, you're finally here!"
Kanda, who gave only a grumble, drew his sword and attacked Akuma.
Among them were three level two Akuma.
"Well super, level two Akuma", said Allen not exactly enthusiastically.
"Stop complaining beansproud!"
"Level two?" Sandra asked after she just hurled an energy ball, which was green by her innocence.
"Yes, the Akuma continue to develop. The more the soul suffers, the stronger the Akuma, "explained Allen, while he just shot Akuma on some level and destroyed it.
"I Understand ..." Sandra activated the second form of her innocence, so she also got a glove on her right hand and was able to fight the Akuma with both hands.
After a while, only the three level two Akuma remained. However, the weather had deteriorated at the same time. The mist grew thicker and it began to snow violently.
"Damn ...", complained Allen, "In this weather you can see nothing!"
"Better let us go and go back", Lavi said, holding his hammer protectively over himself and the others, so they would not be hit by the Akuma.
"Yes, would be better", agreed Allen, who once again fired at the Akuma, which he could locate thanks to his eye.
Kanda only grumbled because the whole situation did not suit him.
"Ok, then we better hurry before the weather gets worse", Sandra said seriously.
The four exorcists quickly found a cave where they had a shelter from the bad weather. Fortunately, the three Akuma did not follow them, since they could not recognize either. Together they saw for the first time in this cave.
"Oh", thought Sandra, depressed and sighed, "My first mission, as an exorcist, and now I'm sitting here with three guys in a cave."
"Everything ok?" Allen asked worried and looked at Sandra.
"Eh ... Yes", she said smiling, "Is that always the case with you?"
"What do you think?"
"Well, I mean on your missions ... Do you ever fight this Akuma?"
"Yes, we have to. We are the only ones who can protect the people from them, the Earl and the Noah", Allen explained.
"Noah?" Sandra asked.
"The Noah ...", Lavi continued explaining to her as much as she knew about them.
"I Understand ...", Sandra murmured, "Then they are not real humans?"
"Yes ... Somehow", Allen said, looking down as he remembered his encounter with Road Kamelot.
"Your skills are not really human too", Kanda casually casted into the room and looked at Sandra seriously.
"How do you mean that now Kanda?" Allen asked in astonishment.
Allen and Lavi looked at Kanda at the moment and waited for an answer from him, but this came from another corner of the cave.
"Yes ... you're right ..." Sandra suddenly confirmed and looked down.
"What?! But you're not a Noah, aren´t you?", Lavi asked directly, suspiciously and already had his hand on his weapon.
"No, I'm not!" She hissed irritated, "I'm really not a human, but ..."
"But what?", Lavi did not let her out of sight.
"I ... I am a Saiyajin ... and do not come as you were from the earth but ... was born on another planet ...", she explained, "After ... this was destroyed, I came here ... to the earth and since ... then I live here."
The boys looked at her in surprise and could not believe what she was saying.
"This is a joke?", Lavi asked immediately, disbelievingly, "Something like that cannot be!"
"No, it is not!" She said irritably and said earnestly, "It is true!" Sandra did not like to talk about it and to reveal their secret so early. She felt uncomfortable and looked down. In the cave there was a moment of silence.
"But ... but you're also an exorcist and one of us ...", Allen said and interrupting the silence.
All attention was now directed to him.
"Again true ...", Lavi agreed.
"Hm ... As long as she kills this Akuma, I do not care who she is", said Kanda.
When Sandra heard what the boys were saying, she looked up at them again.
"Is that ... your seriousness?", she asked uncertainly.
"Yes, it is as we said it. We are all exorcists and fight for the same thing", Allen explained.
Sandra smiled and was visibly relieved, because she needed nothing more to hide.
The next day, when the snowstorm had finally subsided, the exorcists left the cave. At the top they finally found the Innocence.
"There you are! Order finished", Lavi laughed.
"Then we can go now", said Kanda, who was moody as always .
"Not so fast exorcists!" Again the three level two Akuma emerged from yesterday.
"You again", said Lavi, activating his innocence.
"Give us the Innocence!"
"Certainly not", exclaimed Allen and made himself ready for battle.
"You will not get that!" Sandra said, and she was ready.
Together, the four exorcists fought the Akuma and did it once and for all.
Back in the village, the exorcists returned to an inn together. As it was already dark, they decided not to go back to the Order tomorrow morning. Together, the exorcists sat at a table in the dining room and ate together. The host's daughter served them.
"Strike!" Lavi said immediately, "Looks the class! Exactly my type!"
The girl smiled only embarrassed and went back to the kitchen.
"Seriously?" Sandra said annoyed.
"Yep, he's always like that when he sees a beautiful woman", declared Allen annoyed.
"Tse idiot", comment Kanda.
"What a woman's hero", thought Sandra, annoyed. She could not stand such types. She looked at Lavi, who smiled at the others. This guy remained a mystery to her.
"But something about him is strange", she thought. "All the time, he grins so funny, as if he was hiding something." She did not know why, but she did not trust him.
