The Alternate Squad

by fantasy shadow

This story is about an alternate squad of exorcists. It follows the basic plot line of D.Grey-man, only with a different group, though they are often accompanied by the real characters. A lot of Oc- real character pairings.

3. The Alternate Squad

"The line on your end is bad, Daisya." Noise Marie noted as he checked his surroundings.

"Geez, my radio Golems been acting up lately." Daisya replied.

"What are you're locations?" Kanda interjected, annoyed.

"Maybe 3km east of a large, weird tower." Daisya concluded through the haze.

"I think I'm 5km west of said place." Marie continued. "I'm south." Kanda grunted. "How troublesome." He whispered under his breath.

"Looks like it'll be a long night." Daisya chuckled.

"I can hear the Akuma's noise everywhere- we've entered their territory." Marie concluded his assessment.

"Let's rally. Since we're within 10km of each other, our golems can trace each other." Kanda volunteered.

"Fine, Kanda and I'll meet with you, old man Marie." Daisya joked. Marie ignored his comment.

"The time?"

"By dawn." Kanda announced.

"Any more news on Tiedolls group?" Mizuki asked, walking into the lab, promptly followed by Sarra. Komui looked up from his desk, tears streaming from his face and a mountain of papers to his right.

"Ahh yes, I shall need to have a long and intense conversation with the two of you that might take a couple of hours…" Reever plopped another stack of papers on Komui's desk.

"You're not going anywhere Komui. Now sign these papers!"

"You're so mean! Chaining a brilliant scientist like me to a chair and forcing me to sign papers all day, have you no heart?" Komui's tears flowed more vigorously as he came to the climax of his speech.

"Just sign them already!" Reever growled, agitated. He passed the girls to get some coffee from the cafeteria.

"You're going to kill Reever someday with you're hysterics." Mizuki mused. Komui smiled.

"What where you girls here for again?" He leaned towards them, neglecting the piles of papers.

Mizuki sighed. "Where here for information on Tiedolls team. Have they reached him yet?"

Komui shook his head. "Their in a dangerous area. In enemy territory, if you will."

Seraphina shook her head in agitation. She was lying across the couch, her arms folded across her chest.

"Are they alright?" Sarra asked Seraphina's question for her.

"They seem to be holding up." Komui frowned. He truly hated the exorcists jobs. "We'll just have to hope they'll be alright, and bring them reinforcements if not. But it's Kanda! He'll be fine even if the whole army descends on him!" Komui perked up, his silly side cranked to full.

"Alright." Mizuki said, turning around.

"Where are you going?" Sarra asked her.

"Back to the caf. I've got to see if Lavi has hit the world record yet!" She replied, teasingly. Sarra followed her out of curiosity.

"Seraphina." Komui called to her, his business face suddenly on.

"Yeah?" She asked, bored.

"Will you kill me if I send you on a mission?"

Seraphina looked over at him. "Probably, why?"

"I'm not sure yet, but I think something big is coming, and I want you guys on the ready, in case I have to send you in as reinforcements."

She sighed distastefully. "I'm not a life boat, Komui. I'm not here to save lives."

"But you are, Seraphina. For every Akuma you kill, it's the same as saving another's life." Komui smiled. Seraphina frowned.

"Almost, There!" Eas's hand clutched at the edge of the cliff, hr right leg raised and groping for a safe rock to pull her up on. Teddy sat at the top of the cliff, watching her.

"Almost there!" He encouraged. With one last push, Eas was panting on her back. It had taken her all day, but she had finally made it up the cliff.

"Alright then, no time to take a break. Let's go to the castle!" Teddy brushed himself off and started walking.

"Wait! I just spent my entire day climbing a very steep and scary cliff! Can't I have just a few minutes to compose myself?"

Teddy frowned. "We haven't the time! You can rest after you get in there!"

Eas whimpered as she turned onto her stomach, crawling towards the door like a turtle.

"Get up! What are you doing?" Teddy pushed on Eas's arm to get her to stand.

"Jeez teddy, you're really pushy!"

"Just get moving!" He countered.

Komui looked at the surveillance camera. "Oh. Looks like someone's here."

The entirety of the room gathered at the screen.

"It's a kid! Johnny noted, astonished. "How'd a kid get up here?"

Komui looked around. "Why didn't we put up any defence?"

Reever walked back in with his coffee. "Look at what's beside her." The screen did a close up on the teddy. He was lecturing her about being lazy, his droning pushing through the receiver and echoing through the entire room.

"Is that teddy bear, speaking?" The room gazed in amazement.

"I believe it's lecturing, actually." Reever corrected. "And I bet you that's her innocence."

Komui pouted. "Too bad, it would have been fun to dissect such a specimen and see what makes it move." An evil glint twinkled from his glasses and the room shuttered.

"Look! She's at the entrance!" Johnny pointed out.

"Well, we'll see if my assumptions are right soon enough." Reever concluded.

The gates keeper's eyes bulged as he screamed. "Ex-ray examination! This will distinguish whether you are a human or an Akuma!" Eas's mouth dropped.

"Eh?" A ray shone from the gatekeeper's eyes and engulfed Eas entirely with it.

"What going on? What are you doing?" Eas shouted at the Gatekeeper. "I said, what the hell are you doing, pervert!" Her fist connected with the gatekeeper's forehead and he screamed.

"You cannot touch me! You'll contaminate me!! Hold still while I finish you're ex-ray!"

"Damnit! I'm not going to stand here and wait while you get to ogle at me body!"

"I am not ogling! There's nothing there to ogle at! I'm simply seeing if you are an Akuma!"

"Well I'm not! I'm human!"

"I can't tell that unless you stay still!"

"Never!" Suddenly, Eas's eyes closed, and she fell on her face. A large goose egg protruding from her head.

"There! Now she's still!" Teddy was holding a toy soldier in one hand, his other on his hip.

The entirety of the room gasped in amazement at the little stuffed toy.

"Looks like we have a resilient kid and a crazy bear on our hands. Oh boy." Reever sighed, turning away to work at his desk, gulping down his coffee.

Komui squealed excitedly. "I can't wait to do tests on him!" He bounded off for the entrance.

Eas's eyes fluttered open as she regained consciousness. She sat up in a rush as the memories returned to her. "Where is that damn bear!" She bellowed. A couple of seconds passed before she noticed her surroundings. It was a light blue room, square and small, but strangely homely. It had a night stand beside the single bed she had been laying on, on a chair that was currently occupied by a geeky looking man with a white lab coat on and large round glasses.

"Oh! You're awake!" He exclaimed, startled, when she sat up. "He must have hit you pretty hard, you where out for a little while."

Eas glared at the door. "I'm going to kill him when I find him!"

"Please don't stress! He did what he thought was right! You wouldn't endure the ex-ray, so he took extreme measures, though they where a little unreasonable. Oh well, he's probably feeling it, now. I think Komui's starting the surgery on him.

"Good! I hope it hurts!" She bellowed towards the door.

"I'm Johnny!" He said, holding out his hand.

"Oh! I'm Eas!" She took his hand, shaking it once, then letting go.

"So this is the Black order? Not as dismal as the outside."

"Well, this is your room, so I hope it's to you're likings."

"Wow, I got a room, already?" Eas's eyes expanded in surprise.

"Yeah, all exorcists have one, of course. Anyways, are you hungry? After climbing all day, I'm sure you're starved!"

Eas rubbed her stomach unconsciously. "Actually, I am kinda hungry."

"Good! I'll show you the cafeteria, and then I'll give you a tour!" Eas smiled at him.

"Ok! Sounds good!"

Eas was pushing herself off the bed when a blood curdling shriek sounded from the lower level, carrying on through the corridor up to their level, carrying closer to their door. The two leaned closer to the exit, they ears open with curiosity. As the screaming became louder, it also became more defined.

"Ted, Teddy?" Eas was only able to distinguish the voice as Teddy leaped into her, forcing her back onto the bed. He was bawling his eyes out, burrowing his head into Eas's small chest. A pillow promptly smacked Teddy off of the bed and onto the cold floor. She sat up, her chest heaving from the fright.

"What the hell is with you?" She bellowed.

The snot from teddies nose rubbed against the floor as he stood back up, his arms outstretched to Eas like a pathetic child that had just tripped in the dirt. The pillow smashed into him again, sending him flying, once more, to the ground.

"Stop mit!" He cried through his snot and tears. "I need you to save me!!!!" His desperate pleas confused Eas.

"And why the hell should I save you? You condemned me to this fate, and on top of that, you gave me a giant bruise on my head!"

"I'b Sorry!!!" A new stream of snot mixed with tears ran down his face. Eas sighed.

"What could you possibly need saving from?" Just then Komui's head peered around the corner, a large, evil smile on his face and a scary glint in his glasses.

"Who's that?" Eas whispered to Johnny.

"That's Komui, the one who was doing the examination on your bear, it seems he's escaped."

"You're scared of a check up?" Eas looked at teddy, appalled. He was staring at Komui, his small frame shaking with fear.

"I found you!!!" Komui sung in a soft voice. Teddy screamed in fear and scampered up the bed to use Eas as a shield.

"What the? He doesn't look scary at all! You're over exaggerating this! See? He's just a normal doctor…" Komui entered the room as she lost her sentence, the machines hooked up to his arm where so gruesome and frightening, she couldn't peal her eyes away. One of the drills on his left arm started up and a maniacal laughter followed behind it.

"Come on, Mr. Teddy, it wont hurt, much, I just want to take a look at you!"

"No! I'm fragile! Help meeee!!" He pleaded to Eas, her eyes still glued to the drills.

Komui snapped out of it when he noticed Eas sitting on the bed.

"Oh!" He exclaimed, hiding his torture devises. "I need you, too! But first, would you mind helping me with your little friend? It seems he escaped the surgery room."

Eas snapped out of her trance as well. "Wow, for a second there, you really looked like a monster." She shrugged. "Sure, you can do anything you like to him, I don't care."

"Monster! You're all monsters!" Teddy backed away, horrified.

"Awww, shut up. It's you're fault where here, anyways, you have to pay the consequences for your actions." She grabbed him by the head and chucked him at Komui.

"Traitor!" He screamed.

"Have fun!" She chimed, waving as Komui exited down the corridor. Like before, ear piercing screams where heard down the halls.

"Wow, you're ruthless!" Johnny exclaimed, fearfully.

"Nah, I'm just getting a little pay back, so how about that food?"

Johnny nodded and showed her down the same corridor, only this time it was leading to the Cafeteria.

"We should tell Mu-Mu that this cannel is too long." Alexandreina was lounging on the end of the gondola, her feet tracing the waters surface.

"Hmm, maybe if you would row the boat for once, we'd be there faster?" Vasilisa had been suckered into rowing the boat yet again, and her muscles where beginning to ache.

"But I have to keep a watch out!" Alexandreina protested.

"For what! There's nothing here! It's like the safest place in the world from Akuma!"

"Still…"

"You're just looking for an excuse!" Vasilisa complained.

"No! You just need to row faster, that's all!" Alexandreina retorted.

"Fine, Then I won't row at all! See how fast we get home then, and to another mission!"

"Well if you stop, then you wont to laze around all day in you're bed!"

"I don't need a bed, I have a comfy Gondola!"

"Well I don't need a mission! I have a look out here!"

"Fine!"

"Fine!"

"……………………."

"Umm, how on earth did we end up like this?" Both girls had there hands on the row, paddling it from side to side with all there might.

"No clue. But we are going faster." Vasilisa concluded, satisfied.

"I hear someone new is here?" Mizuki prodded to Seraphina.

"Yeah, it's a kid." She stated coldly. "Awww, come on! You have to give more detail then that! Is it a girl, or boy? Are they cute?"

Seraphina sighed. "I couldn't tell. Probably a girl, but it could have been a boy that hasn't hit puberty yet."

"Yeah, it's hard to tell at that age." Mizuki chuckled.

"If you're you curious, why don't you go find her?"

"I don't know where she is." Mizuki concluded.

"Well I sure as hell ain't keeping tabs on them!"

"Easy, there, Seraphina, it's like you're a completely different person when you know who's not around."

"That's it! You're dead!" Seraphina growled, chasing after Mizuki as she made a run for it.

The cafeteria was packed as they ran into it for supper. Mizuki ran full speed to the cook, attempting to catch her breath. "I'll have three specialty rice balls and two pork buns please, and make it fast! I need to get out of here before she finds me!"

"Mizuki!"

"Oops! Looks like I'm already caught! I'll come back for the food in a couple of seconds once I loose some of this dead weight I'm carrying around!" She bolted once more for the door but Seraphina beat her to it. They made a stand off for 2 seconds before Mizuki caught sight of Lavi Walking over to a crowded table. She turned swiftly to the angle in which he was in and ran for it. Followed closely behind by Seraphina.

"Lavi!" Mizuki cried as she slid to a stop a few inches away from him. He had just sat down with his place full of foreign foods.

"Hey, cutie, I need you to do me a favour!" She slides even closer to him, close to touching. He gulped loudly, his face already a bright shade of red.

"Can you take care of a certain little pest for me? I can't seem to handle it on my own." She pouted.

"Sure, sure thing!" He stuttered, his face turning a dangerous shade.

"Thank you sweetie!" She blew him a kiss before fleeing the scene.

Lavi barely had time to collect himself with a simple "SCORE!" Before Seraphina showed up, panting.

"Lavi, have you seen Mizuki around here by any chance? I could have sworn she came in this direction."

Lavi chuckled dreamily at her name. "Nope, can't say I have!"

Seraphina sighed. "You're no help at all." She decided to give up for a while and walked back to the kitchen to order some Soba.

Eas and Johnny were walking into the kitchen when two girls interrupted their path. They where both panting and one seemed to be really angry. It wasn't long, though, before the other one took off again, quickly followed by the mad one on her heels.

"Is this place usually so rowdy?" Eas asked, shocked at the large quantity of people.

"Only at meal times, also, a few exorcists are still waiting for a mission, like the two that just ran off. That's what makes it seem so lively."

Eas nodded. They walked over to the chef and Johnny introduced the two

"This is Johnny, our head chef."

"My, another cute child has entered! What would you like to eat? I can make you anything you want!"

Eas looked up at him awkwardly. "You're weird. But I don't mind you. Did you say anything?"

Jerry looked down at her in surprise. "Umm, thank you? And yes, anything in the world, at all, what ever you like!"

"Then I want centipede soup with caterpillar and aunt cookies and some beetle paste of a spider biscuit please!" Both Johnny and Jerry stared at her in shock.

"I'm just kidding." She assured them. "I wanted to see if he really could make anything, but I see that was a bad joke."

"Don't worry; some people just have weird tastes, so we learn not to assume a joke when the orders placed. Can I get you something you might actually eat?"

"Oh." Eas thought. "Then I guess I'll just have a bowl of tomato soup and a grilled cheese sandwich please!"

"How American! And cute! It's something a little child would order! Just like you!"

"Ok, maybe I don't like you so much. I'm 14, for your information, I'm not a child, I just like that meal, but if you can't accommodate then I guess I'll have…"

"No, no! I meant it as a compliment! You're so cute, I thought that type of a meal really suited you."

"I'm a girl." Eas added, out of topic.

"Huh?" Jerry replied, confused.

"I'm a girl, so you shouldn't feel the need to hit on me, I'm sure a little boy is more to you're liking."

"What are you calling me, a pedophile? I was giving you a compliment!"

"Fine then. Can I have my sandwich now?" Jerry handed her the food and she walked off as he fumed.

"That wasn't very nice." Johnny said, looking back at the shaken Jerry.

"I just wanted him to know where we stood. I didn't have any intention of hurting him, besides; he was the one displaying all the insults. He should watch his tongue. If I really were a guy, I wouldn't appreciate being called a cutie."

Johnny shook his head disapprovingly. "You're not going to apologize, are you?"

"Nope. I feel no need too. If he stops acting weird, however, I may forgive him."

"You are a strange child." Johnny smiled.

"What ever." Eas dug into her soup.

"Their back! Their Back!" Sarra chimed as she skipped down the halls.

"Who's back? Allen and Lenalee just left!" Mizuki asked her, joining her in her spring. "Alexandreina and Vasilisa are finally back from their long joining of missions." Sarra explained.

"Oh, wow, I almost forgot about them! It's been a while, where are they?"

"They just got off of the gondola; I imagine their speaking with Komui now. It seems they didn't find anything on their last mission so now Alexandreina is pumped for a new one, though I doubt they'll get one just yet, I think Komui if holding off for something."

"Interesting." Mizuki mused over the newly acquired information.

"Why don't we have a little party tonight?" Sarra volunteered. "Everyone's back, except for Kanda and them, but out of the girls, anyways, and we need to welcome the new one too!"

"So it's a girl?" Mizuki asked, curious.

"Yeah! And she's even shorter than me!" She chimed.

"So that's why you're in such a good mood!" Mizuki laughed.

"I'm just glad almost everyone's together again. We are like the alternate squad."

"What's that mean?" Mizuki questioned.

"I mean, Lenalee, Allen, Kanda, and Lavi always get sent on missions together, so their like one squad, and then you, me, Seraphina, Alexandreina, and Vasilisa are like the other squad! Hence, the word "Alternate"

"Yeah, you are not going to call me an alternate." Mizuki frowned.

"Ok, well you'll get used to it eventually." Vasilisa returned to her starting topic. "So, I was thinking we should have it in the largest room, the party, I mean. That's probably the twin's bedroom, then. Also, we need lots of snacks from The kitchen and what else should we have? Any good games around?"

"I don't think anyone wants to play a silly board game." Mizuki chuckled

"Yeah, I guess we're to old for that, oh well. Maybe the twins will have some ideas."

They turned into the lab to find Alexandreina bickering with Komui on a mission.

"I told you, Aly-chaaaan, I don't have any missions for you yet!"

"But Mu-Mu, I'll absolutely die of boredom if I don't go on another one soon!"

"We'll find you one, but you'll have to be patient, the Akuma will wait!"

"But I won't! Mu-Mu! Give me a mission!"

"I told you already….."

Vasilisa was lounging on the couch, reading a new book she had picked up. She didn't seem to interest in is since her eyes kept drifting off the page and onto the tittles of other books on the towering book shelves.

"Afternoon guys! Long time no see!" Mizuki sauntered into the lab, Sarra skipping to her side. Vasilisa lifted her arm in acknowledgment then returned to her feeble reading attempt.

"Oh good! Mi-Mi and Ra-Ra! You guys can talk some sense into Mu-Mu! He says he has no missions for us! How mean is that! You know he's just holding all the good ones for the others! Look! Were the only ones left!"

"Alternate squad" Sarra whispered and Mizuki chuckled lightly.

"Yeah, it's been like that for a while, guess the Akuma just haven't bee acting up lately!"

"Liar! Akuma are always acting up! You guys just don't care about it! I'll find a mission all on my own then! Come on Vasilisa!"

"You go on, I'll catch up." Vasilisa had changed books through the encounter and was now engrossed in a thick novel.

"Si-Si!!! Let's go! We have to kill Akuma!" Alexandreina whined

"You heard him, theirs nothing to do, lets just take a quick break, for my sanity, please."

Alexandreina huffed. "Fine then! One break! And only for a couple of days!"

"Great! If you can wait till then, I may have a super big mission for you to go on ok?" Komui offered.

"Yay! Mu-Mu, you rock! I take back all the things I said about you!"

"Yeah, I know, Hey! What did you say about me?"

"C'mon Vasilisa! Let's go!" Alexandreina laughed as she scurried out the door, slowly followed by her sister.

"Yeah, I'll catch up with you, don't worry about it." She flipped open her book again and started reading once more as she walked.

"Let's have a party!"

"What?" They where sitting in the cafeteria once again, Alexandreina and Vasilisa with identical plates of food.

"I said, let's have a party! Now that we have our whole group here, and even a new comer, I was thinking we should have a party! We'll stay up all night and eat lots of junk food and talk about girl stuff!" Sarra had everything planned out.

"We have a new comer? Sounds fun!" Alexandreina beamed with excitement.

"Sure." Vasilisa sighed. What she really wanted was a nice relaxing bath and then a quiet and peaceful nap. So much for that dream.

"Then it will be held in your room, since it's the largest, at, lets say, 9:00? That'll give us time to get the food and stuff." Sarra suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Mizuki nodded.

"Alright!" Alexandreina finished.

"Have I ever told you that I sincerely and utterly hate you?" Teddy, along with Eas and Komui where riding the triangular prism shaped elevator down to where Hevalaska resided.

"Awww, don't worry, Teddy, I'm sure it didn't hurt that much! Heck I bet it hurt Komui more!" Komui's face was swollen on one side and he had a giant bald spot on the top of his head, which he hid with his hat.

"He deserved it! You say the horrible things he was using on me! I thought I saw my life flash behind my eyes at one point!"

"Awww, you're such a drama Teddy!." Eas chuckled. "Besides, I only did the exact same thing you did to me!"

"But for you, it didn't include severe pain!"

"True." Eas mused, thoughtfully.

"Where here!" Komui chimed.

"Whoa, what is that?" Eas pointed to Hevalaska.

"She is here to judge you're innocence." Komui answered simply.

Hevlaska's "arms" stretched out to the two of them, grabbing hold, and engulfing them completely.

"What the? It feels like she's searching inside of me! Gross!!"

Teddy was fighting with the arm that grasped him, his face of pure disgust.

"Just relax; she's only judging your compatibility!" Komui called out to them.

"Why the hell do I need this?" Hevalaska leaned close to Teddy, who was still struggling to get free.

"2%, 34%, 46%, 63%, 78%, 81%. It seems your maximum invocation rate at this time is 81%." She set the two back down onto the platform. "I did not mean for you to be frightened, I only wanted to get acquainted with you're innocence."

"Sure, no problem, just don't ever do that again!" Eas reassured her.

"Freaks! You're all freaks! Why on earth did I want to come here in the first place?" Teddy was rubbing his fur as if he had been tainted by Hevlaska's touch.

"C'mon, Teddy, lets get back to our room." Eas rolled her eyes.

Once inside, Eas flopped onto her bed, staring up at the white ceiling. It had been a long day, and she had lots to think about. Again, her thoughts where interrupted by a brusque knock on the door. She sat up, as well as Teddy.

"Who dares disturb the great...?" Teddy was cut off by the sight of five girls, all around the age of 17, looking through the door. Each had great bodies; one of smaller proportions, but still well balanced. Instantly, Teddy went Gaga, and lunged himself at the girls!

His head squished into the middle of Mizuki's chest as she clung to her, rubbing his small head against her.

"Ahh, it's been too long since I've been able to touch some boobs like these!"

Mizuki looked down at the snuggling bear, shocked. Slowly, she peeled him off of her chest, examining him.

"So this is the living teddy bear." She mused. "Looks just like a perverted boy to me!" She drop-kicked him into the far wall were he slid back onto the floor, out cold.

"Oops! Sorry, didn't mean to kick him so hard!" She apologized, looking at the stuffed animal with further curiosity.

"No, no, don't be, I've been trying to figure out how to nock him unconscious for a while now, thanks for that!" Mizuki nodded in understanding.

"Must be hard having a pervert as you're innocence."

"Actually, he never puts the moves on me, apparently I'm not his type. He likes figures like yours, so watch out."

Mizuki chuckled. "I've got one of my own to deal with, so don't worry about me, I'm an expert. By the way, my name is Mizuki, this small one here is Sarra, The twins behind me are Alexandreina, with the pig tails, and Vasilisa, with the loose pony tail."

Eas nodded. "My name's Eas, and this here's Teddy, though he insists his name is Edmund, just ignore that."

The girls laughed. "So we were about to have a party in the twins' room, wanna come?" Sarra invited.

"Sure, I'd love to! As long as Teddy stays here!"

"Of course! It's a girl's only party!" The twins announced.

"Sounds like fun!" Eas fallowed the girls out of the room, towards the twins room, and a new friendship also know as the Alternate Squad.
