Chapter 9
Time Frame — Afternoon of January 12th, 1896
—3rd Person POV—
~Allen~
In reality, a single Komurin was nothing compared to the six Exorcists that fought against it. But Komui would be damned his Komurin II couldn't at least put up a fight against the treacherous boys that dared lay a single eye on his precious Lenalee! HE WOULD DESTROY THEM ALL!
"He's headed for the library!" someone shouted amidst the chaos.
I think that would be my fault, Allen thought dryly as he dragged himself to his feet with a small groan. Because the robot appeared to be targeting Lavi and Allen still, it automatically caused destruction around the vicinity of the two. And unfortunately, a wild, flying metal limb had sent Allen soaring and skidding near said library. Noticing the frightened students beyond the windows of the building, his expression became grim with determination as he readied his clawed fingers, cape fluttering about him.
Running at the contraption from hell with a cry, Allen called, "Crown Belt!" Fluttering white strands instantly snapped out, wrapping around its metallic appendages and tearing them off with an audible snap.
Before the Komurin could react, an enormous sphere of gold that rung in reminiscence of a bell slammed into its body, crushing it to the ground. And to add insult to injury, Lavi was quick to smash his massive hammer to the ground, calling out his fire snake and setting the automaton on fire.
But. It. Would. Not. DIE!
With a screech and a groaning creek, the Komurin rose on shaky limbs, oil leaking and half its body crushed, fire engulfing it. They had never before faced a more terrifying sight. Unsteadily lifting one of its firearms, its metallic voice fizzled in and out as it screeched, "AL-N W-LK-R. LA-I BO-KM-N. MUS- D-STR-Y… MUST DE-TR-Y… MUST DESTRO-… MUST DESTROY! MUSTDESTROYMUSTDESTROYMUSTDESTROY!"
And they were at it again. With terrifying precision, Alma's right arm shot out blades, obliterating Komurin II's vision, shattering its aim and causing it to shoot out lasers around randomly. With a shout, they all flung themselves painfully to the ground, avoiding the stray rays, but Kanda was quick to duck under, and with a rapid sprint, hacked off its weaponry. Unfortunately, it seemed the robot's arsenal was endless. It flung out an endless rain of bullets, laser beams, and blades, hacking at its surroundings without mercy, screeching as it stumbled around blindly.
The Exorcists were careful to keep it surrounded at all times, not a single one of them allowing the demonic robot a moment of rest. And it finally came to an end, when Lenalee, with a frustrated shout, kicked it to high heaven with a resounding boom. Allen, along with the rest, could only stare in shock as the contraption became a mere dot in the sky, but soon, they all frantically began to run around, realizing that it was rapidly returning at full force; a blinding light of metal swallowed up in fire. But seeing the chance for what it was, Allen immediately launched himself up to meet the flying ball of twisted machinery, crying out, "Cross Grave!"
A flash of light, and then raining cinders.
"Oh my gosh… It's over," someone whimpered in relief, and in unison, the Exorcists dropped to the ground, practically crying with relief.
Allen, gasping in relief, spoke up in the middle of the stunned silence, "What the hell was that thing?"
But before any of them could deign to reply, an excited shout caught their attention. Lifting their heads in the direction of the cry, they noticed a man running towards them, shouting, "I hear my precious Komurin II was finally put into action! Did he destroy those disgusting octopi?! Wasn't he absolutely beautiful and amazing and… oh, what happened here?"
Komui had finally slowed to halt, warily glancing about the training fields that had been razed down to mere ruins, fire crackling in some spots still, and smoke permeating the air.
"KOMUI!"
"What the hell is wrong with you—"
"—you almost killed us, you fucked up—"
"—what made you think it was okay to—"
"—bastard! I'm going to fucking slaughter you—"
"—keep this crazy shit to yourself—"
"—and then I'm going to choke you with your own intestines—"
"—that was absolutely crossing the line—"
"—you're unbelievable, Komui—"
"—and then I'm going to take a piss on your corpse—"
"—you need fucking help—"
"—hope you're happy with yourself—"
And the threats continued like so. Komui simply took it all with a straight face, glasses hiding any expression contained in his eyes as he stood there calmly. And once they had all run out of steam, Komui shifted his glasses, softly asking, "Do you mean to tell me, that that pile of destruction is my precious Komurin II?" He gestured towards the metal appendages that lay strewn about the expansive field.
"Yes," Kanda sneered gleefully.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Komui dropped to his knees, sobbing hysterically and clutching onto a nearby piece of metal, moaning about the loss of his robot.
"Unbelievable," someone muttered, and they all drifted away from the field, until only a stunned Allen and an exasperated/embarrassed Lenalee were left alone with the mess that was her brother and his robot.
And suddenly, General Klaud landed beside them, having launched herself from a nearby roof on which she'd stood, observing the fight. Allen and Lenalee jumped slightly in surprised, and turned to her as she said, "Since it seems you two were the last to take a hit at that atrocity, I'll declare you two the winners. Report to Headquarters first thing in the morning, and uh," here, she glanced warily at her whimpering boss, "You can have Supervisor Komui here brief you on the next available mission. I wish you the best of luck." And just like the rest, she was quick to disappear from sight.
Allen cautiously returned Lenalee's apologetic smile, suddenly wishing he hadn't taken that last shot.
A/N: Haha, wow, that was quite the mess ^^' Hope you had fun reading!(x And if you did, don't forget to let me know in a review!(:
