Chapter 3: Savior
A/N Hi this is my first fanfic so please review. Constructive criticism is appreciated even if it is flames. I would like to know other people's opinions on how I did at writing this. (Look at my profile to know why.)
This begins 3 years after Allen left the order. Oh haven't read those parts yet. SPOILER ALERT! sLATE! OH WELL!
DISCLAIMER:
One of the rights accorded to the owner of copyright is the right to reproduce or to authorize others to reproduce the work in copies or phonorecords. This right is subject to certain limitations found in sections 107 through 118 of the copyright law (title 17, U. S. Code). One of the more important limitations is the doctrine of "fair use." The doctrine of fair use has developed through a substantial number of court decisions over the years and has been codified in section 107 of the copyright law.
Section 107 contains a list of the various purposes for which the reproduction of a particular work may be considered fair, such as criticism, comment, news reporting, teaching, scholarship, and research. Section 107 also sets out four factors to be considered in determining whether or not a particular use is fair.
The purpose and character of the use, including whether such use is of commercial nature or is for nonprofit educational purposesThe nature of the copyrighted workThe amount and substantiality of the portion used in relation to the copyrighted work as a wholeThe effect of the use upon the potential market for, or value of, the copyrighted workThe distinction between what is fair use and what is infringement in a particular case will not always be clear or easily defined. There is no specific number of words, lines, or notes that may safely be taken without permission. Acknowledging the source of the copyrighted material does not substitute for obtaining permission.
The 1961 Report of the Register of Copyrights on the General Revision of the U.S. Copyright Law cites examples of activities that courts have regarded as fair use: "quotation of excerpts in a review or criticism for purposes of illustration or comment; quotation of short passages in a scholarly or technical work, for illustration or clarification of the author's observations; use in a parody of some of the content of the work parodied; summary of an address or article, with brief quotations, in a news report; reproduction by a library of a portion of a work to replace part of a damaged copy; reproduction by a teacher or student of a small part of a work to illustrate a lesson; reproduction of a work in legislative or judicial proceedings or reports; incidental and fortuitous reproduction, in a newsreel or broadcast, of a work located in the scene of an event being reported."
Copyright protects the particular way authors have expressed themselves. It does not extend to any ideas, systems, or factual information conveyed in a work.
The safest course is to get permission from the copyright owner before using copyrighted material. The Copyright Office cannot give this permission.
When it is impracticable to obtain permission, you should consider avoiding the use of copyrighted material unless you are confident that the doctrine of fair use would apply to the situation. The Copyright Office can neither determine whether a particular use may be considered fair nor advise on possible copyright violations. If there is any doubt, it is advisable to consult an attorney.
ANYWAYS! ONTO THE STORY!
Chapter 3: Savior
Lenalee struggled to stay conscious among the wreckage. She didn't notice, but she was screaming in pain as the flames burned away at her skin like an iron.
'Is that Lenalee?!' Allen thought when he heard the screaming. There was no mistaking that voice. He rounded the corner and wasted no time reacting at what he saw. Lenalee lay past a broken window inside a burning store. "Lenalee!" Allen cried out. Fury consumed him and he lashed out at the akuma that had hurt his beloved Lenalee. "Crown Edge!" he said, making crown-shaped weapons fly out from the fingers of his left hand. The akuma dodged and used wind to knock them away. "So you're the one who destroyed the other akuma here then?" The level for questioned. "Well they were only levels one and two, I however am a level three," the akuma claimed arrogantly. "Bastard!" Allen yelled launching himself at the level three. The akuma swiftly dodged and Crown Clown only grazed the side of it. "Hah! Your going to have to be faster than that!" the akuma said. The power of the attack wasn't the intention, it was the mark that it left. Engraved into its armor plating was a gash in the shape of a cross. "CROSS GRAVE!" White light in the shape of a cross appeared over the akuma and it exploded.
She thought Allen called her name once or twice, but sound was muffled. Her ears hadn't recovered from the thunder at such a close range. 'Nah I must be delirious' Lenalee was losing blood fast and was struggling to stay awake. The blood collected and formed a sea of red around her. Her body felt as heavy as lead, she couldn't even move. She was pretty sure her leg was on fire, or at least suffering the most from the fire. Lenalee thought she heard what sounded like an explosion but not a lightning strike. 'Was it destroyed?' she thought. 'Not likely no one from the order is supposed to be watching here which is why she chose to stay in the town to look for Allen. "I've failed" she whispered faintly. "I'll never get to find Allen or tell him..." Lenalee trailed off as the heaviness feeling returned. She looked up and almost fainted. Standing there in a white cowl, a cape, spiked up white hair, and a silver mask, was Allen Walker, the one she'd been looking for three years now becoming her savior.
CHAPTER 3 END
Sorry for the short chapter, but I posted three chapters today! The next chapter is the last one. I probably won't make a sequel if I don'gt get some reviews though, this entire thing was to see whether or not I fail at writing when it's about a topic I enjoy and doesn't have to be school appropriate. Blood, violence, swearing that kind of thing.
