War Voice
' Thinking Talking '
(Adam's Soul)
"Wake Up Wake Up Wake Up!" Adam was slapping himself trying to get out of this freaky dream. The Horsemen stared at Adam slapping himself for the past five minutes. Famine had popcorn and was eating that while looking at Adam. Conquest laid down waiting for this tantrum to be over. War polished his blade and Death was done waiting.
"War could you enlighten him of what transpired yesterday" Death asked. "Of course brother" War walked towards Adam and slapped him. "Quit your babbling, it's time to show you what WE did yesterday." War then stabbed Adam with Chaoseater, yesterday's events flash through Adam. He saw and felt what it was like to kill Kalawarner and the message he gave to Koneko. Wait he saw Koneko, she was there the whole time. She let him die, Adam got pissed at learning this.
He dropped to his knee trying to comprehend everything but mostly the fact that he died. "Okay so you guys are The Horsemen of The Apocalypse" the four nodded. "The thing that we killed it wasn't human, so what was it?" Adam questioned "That young vessel was a fallen angel" Famine answered. "Is Koneko also a fallen angel" "No the aura she gave off was a mixture of devil and nekomata." "Wait I thought devils and fallen angel were the same thing and what's a nekomata?" "Nekomata are human cat people and devils and fallen angel are not the same thing. Over the past century your bible has lost almost if not all it original stories. The only true copy left in the world is probably in the Vatican somewhere." "But you should not worry of the other species yet. What you should be worried about is the fact that humanity right now cannot survive if the Three Factions should have another war."
"I Have so many questions right now" Adam said clenching his hair, for every question he got an answer for two more takes its place. "We're going to be here all day if you have to tell you everything" Conquest sighed. Death's hand began release a strange dark purple smoke. "Child, you want to know of the three factions and all supernatural beings out there" Adam hesitated but nodded. Death placed his smoking hand on Adam head. Adam screamed in pain as the knowledge of the three factions flow into his mind. He also saw the battles and deaths of all the soldiers that died in The Great War. Then the creation of the Four Horsemen and the power the show when killing the rouge Factions.
Adam took a deep breath trying to get a grip on what he has learned. "So then you have gain knowledge and the experience we had during our fight wit h them. You felt what it was like to riding on all of our steeds and you felt our last battle. So will you accept this power?" "Yes, but I get to choose who WE kill. Everyone should get chance to tell us why they shouldn't die." Adam is trying to reason with them. He understood that there are bad eggs in each of the Three Factions but Koneko didn't seem that bad, even if she did let me die. He felt that they should have the right to justify their reason to live. "Your terms are accepted, but some advice. They may not give you the same chance" Death warned. Adam nodded and knew that he was going have to kill again
Adam awoke in his bedroom and look at his clock. He had an hour before school starts. He decided to take a shower. Adam looked at his mirror he touched his chest where the stab scar was supposed to be. There was no scar, he remember Kalawarner stabbing him in the chest and then the Red Horse saving him. Adam took a deep breath and got dress for school. As he finished grabbing all the things he need for the day. He remembered his medicine and Famine telling him no longer needs it. Adam decided to take his back-up bottle in case.
(ORC Building)
Rias was sitting at her desk, trying to find a way for Adam to join her. Unfortunately after Koneko's reported of what she saw and the name he gave to her. It placed her in a tight stop, Rias thought that the aura Adam was giving off could have been a dragon type scared gear, but instead she learned the identity of The Apocalypse. She remembered the story that of the Horsemen and how her brother Sirzechs told her how he Michael, Azazel barely defeated them. The armies that were form to stop them were wiped out from existence and the scars that they left on brother.
Rias was startled when there was a knock on the door. Rias spoke "Come in", she saw Sona and Tsubaki coming in. "Hey, Rias" Sona said "You know the only time you come here is because you want something." Rias asked Sona. "I was wondering if you told your brother about them" Sona questioned. "No I haven't it; I don't think they should know just it" Rias answered. Sona took a deep breath "You idiot" she said with anger "We know the identity of the Horsemen and you don't think it a good idea to tell your brother. The power they have can devastate the solar system and that power is living right under our nose!" Sona was getting more aggressive with Rias. Sona's aura began to leak out from her due to her anger.
"This better not be about wanting him being added to your peerage" Sona said bit clamer. "No it's what my brother told me" Rias said. Sona grew curious at what Sirzechs told Rias, "What did your brother tell you?" "Before the horsemen Death faded he told them "you think you have won but you only created a monster that can kill you all" those were the last words he said. That's why I didn't tell my brother, last time they barely won. Sona do you even remember at what happen to your own sister!" Rias yelled at Sona.
"Of course I remember, I still get nightmares when Sirzechs brought back Serafall body. She lost so much blood and the black scar on her left shoulder that extends to her arm still gives me a bad feeling. Even if she says it doesn't bother her. I one time saw her looking at her scar in the mirror and shedding a few tears." Sona responded
(Kuoh Academy)
Adam looked at the Academy, yesterday he was about a panic attack when he felt the aura around the school. Right now, he felt okay possible great, pissed that he was betrayed, but the aura no long worried him. 'Maybe Famine was right and don't need the medication' Adam to himself. 'Of course he's right with our power flowing through your body. Your body can take on a speeding truck.' Adam looked around paranoid; 'I'm up here' Adam looked up at school gate and a pitch-black crow. "Um Death?" 'In this form I'm known as Dust and no need to speak out loud. We are connected just think of what you wish to speak and we'll be able to communicate.'
'So can all of you guys turn into animals' 'We created these forms to guide you.' 'That's cool; I guess' Adam stood at the gate hesitating to enter. 'You have nothing to fear; with our power you ride Fear' Adam took a deep breath and walked to class.
Asia and Aika were in class talking about yesterday news about Adam. "The Apocalypse that's pretty dangerous. Asia you readied the bible, what do you know about The Apocalypse." Aika asked "If I remembered it correctly The Apocalypse would be summoned when sevens seals have been destroyed. Then Four Horsemen one riding a red, black, white, and pale steed would bring the Last Judgment on the world" Asia told Aika. "So Adam has the power to end our world in the plam of his hand. Well we are probably boned" Aika said.
Adam walked into the classroom and saw Death or Dust perched on the tree next to his seat. He saw Asia and Aika and the devil aura they were emitting. Both saw Adam walking pass them with an angry look and his face. He felt normal, the chilling aura he had wasn't there today. As class started, Asia glanced at Adam a few times. Adam couldn't focus today, after learning about all the supernatural he was still processing it and the fact that he is commuting and living in a town rule by devils it made him paranoid. He mostly didn't want to die and release another Horseman. That will most likely start a massacre, innocent people may getting caught in the crossfire.
Adam pulled out a recorder to record the lecture and write down the notes at home. He put his earphones on and start listen to some Jimi Hendrix. As class ended Asia glanced at Adam and saw him asleep. She was a bit heisted but decided to wake him, Adam slowly opened his eyes and saw Asia. "Um class is over" Asia said with a smile. Adam yawned, he got up and it a few feet before noticing the classroom was empty. "If you're trying to friendly, don't, I know about yesterday." Adam said the last word with venom. Asia was scared that Adam knew about yesterday but her true fear came from his aura he emitted.
Dust flew around the school searching anyone with a peculiar aura. He located several individuals that are human with hidden potential, and several devils. Dust also felt a strong remnant of magic in an older building, next to the main building.
Dust flew to the old building and perched on tree. He looked inside to room were the magic is coming from and saw how clean and well preserved it is. 'Why is there a shower here?' Dust thought to himself. He then saw the door open and small girl with white hair. 'It's the girl from yesterday, so this possible is her headquarters' Dust deduced.
Koneko open a cupboard and pulled out a small white box of bread from a local shop. She got up to leave but a crow caught her attention. The crow stared at her and she stared back. Koneko walked to the window, as she was in front of the window the crow flew off. 'She is able to sense me in this from, this is getting interesting.' Dust thought.
Adam had free period so he decide to find somewhere to rest. Unfortunately he encountered a certain blond hair boy. Kiba Yuuto the Academy's prince, Adam right off the bat can tell he wasn't human. "Hello there, your Adam right" Kiba said with a smile. "Um yea that's my name do I know you?" Adam asked. "I'm sorry, my name is Kiba Yuuto. We're in the same year. One of ours seniors asked me to get you. She would like to meet you today after school if possible."
'Go to this meeting with our power we can slaughter them all. From what I can sense, this boy has power that rivals the fallen angel we killed. He also has some potential but he unknowingly has locked it. Word of advice I sense no hostility but be warned his aura is a little bit similar to the white hair girl from yesterday.' Adam took a moment to think on his options. One this could be trap or two they really want to talk. 'If this really is a trap and if I die again the horsemen would use my body to slaughter them all.' Win-win situation Adam thought. "I'm free after school, where should I meet her." Adam asked calmly "The old school build its right next to the main build behind the small forest." "Got it, I'll being seeing senpai then." Adam walked pass Kiba to focus on what to say so he doesn't sound like an ass.
(Lunch)
Koneko was looking for Adam. She followed his scent to where he was yesterday during lunch. Adam today had an assortment of fruits. He was busy tossing grapes into his mouth to notice Koneko. "Senpai" Koneko said in her montone voice. Adam turned his head to see Koneko sudden apperance. He saw a small box of bread from the same shop he went to yesterday. Koneko handed him a chocolate cornet "here, thank you for yesterday." 'Don't worry if the food is poisoned with my ability you can't be kill with something that trivial.' 'Koneko doesn't look like the type to poison someone.' Adam took the cornet "thanks" he said to Koneko and begin to eat it.
Lunch went kind of the same like yesterday, Adam gave Koneko a banana and she listen some Red Hot Chili Peppers. But Koneko saw that Adam wasn't gushing about the band today like he did yesterday and his goofy smile wasn't showing. As lunch began to end and class was going start Adam turn to Koneko "We're friend right?" Koneko know why he asked that so she just nodded. Adam got up and stretched "if you consider me a friend they why did you just watched me die yesterday." Koneko was shocked that Adam remembered yesterday, she was about to say something but Adam left her there and went to class.
(Abandon Church)
Raynare was busy packing her things since her failed mission. A simple observed and report mission from Azazel himself. This past couples of months was the biggest annoyance ever. It started with Dohnaseek and Mittelt "coup d'etat" on Raynare's leadership. They were planning to steal the nun's sacred gear and using it to take over this. Their plan went astray when Kalawarner heard about it. She and Raynare went and met with the devils and together they killed the betrayers. Unfortunately, the nun died and that Gremory cow took her.
Raynare got over it, but the problem arises when Kalawarner has not returned yet. She usually returned to base before nightfall. Raynare didn't worried she believed that Kalawarner probably found someone cute and send the night with him. That assumption ended when there was a knock on the door. Kalawarner would just barge right in, Raynare open the door and saw the Germory and her peerage. With them there was a large white sheet with a large red spot forming in center. The only male cared it and gentle placed in front of Raynare.
Raynare open the top part and saw Kalawarner, she completely removed the sheet and saw a huge gaping hole in where her chest used to be. Raynare became furious and her magic blasted a hole in the roof. She lost all her allies, Rias told everything on what happen to Kalawarner. Raynare was shocked to hear about the Horsemen. She remembered Azazel would have a drunken rant on them, on how he lost three of his wings and his left kidney. She also saw the crater shaped scar on his abdomen.
After the Germory left Raynare took Kalawarner corpse and burned it living nothing but her ashes, which she placed in an urn. Kalawarner talked about her love for Tahiti, once a year she would go there meet a couple guys, ruin a few relationships/marriage and come back with spring in her step. After she finished packing, she wrote her report and asked for some time off.
(Back to Kuoh Academy: After School ORC building)
Adam stood at the ORC's club room door. 'There are six people inside, the only one you may have trouble fighting is the Gremory heiress.' 'You don't have to go in if you don't want to.' 'Even if they attack you, with our power it would be a one-sided fight.' 'You're here now there is no sense turning back now, let's get over this.' Adam knocked on the door three times and waited.
Rias sat behind her desk, look at the requests they have received for today. Then there was a knock on the door, she looked up to she Asia opening it up. As the door open the atmosphere in room changed. Adam stood there, he looked agitated. 'Calm down boy our aura is slowly suffocating them'Adam took a couple of short breaths controlling the power.
Rias was about to speak but Adam put his hand up. "Before you guys say anything, I just want to say that I hold no violate intent. I'm kind of a pacifist, but if you want to try anything we won't hold back." A red aura circled Adam's left hand, and a horse's cry was heard in the distance.
Rias stood from her seat; she stayed calm knowing what the Horsemen can do to them. "Please there must be a misunderstanding here we just want to talk. Your anger shouldn't be directed at us."Rias said calmly "My anger is justice because I know your plan on turning me into a devil." Koneko turned her head trying not to look at Adam she felt regret for not trying to help him.
The aura around Adam's hand began to glow brighter. "If there is someone you want to blame for your death, then blame me I order Koneko not to intervening." Rias said deafening her rook. Adam took another breath and the glow slow dimmed. "Well I hold no grudge, my death did cured my panic attacks and I now have the power beyond my understanding." Rias sat down on one of the couches. Asia gave Adam a chair to seat on, Akeno came in with a cart with a tea set on got a cup of tea Adam looked at he never drink tea before. He took a sip his eyes widen a little 'hmm not bad' he thought to himself. "You like it?" Akeno asked with her signature smile. "It's, my first time drinking tea and its pretty good" Adam said.
Adam put the cup down on the coffee table, "So why did you want to meet me?" Rias also put her cup down, "I would like for you to join my peerage. If accept my offer you would have help to control your power and be able to increase your statues symbol in the world." Adam took a moment to let the Horsemen have a word with him. 'Don't fall her lies she wants to use you for something. She looks clam but she's not, I can smell her fear. You don't need her help when you have us. She is planning to turn you into a devil, but it won't work.' Death explained why he can't be turn into a devil, angel or fallen angel.
Adam looked at Rias "I have been told by certain group that my body cannot be changed. I can show why if you want to." Rias was curious at what Adam said. The evil piece should be able to convert about anyone into a devil. She went to desk and pulled out a black box and pulled out a pawn chess piece. Adam stood up and walked towards Rias. "Now then, try to convert me into a devil." Rias placed the pawn on Adam's chest and was about to say the oath but she felt the piece change. She looked at the piece as it began to crystallize. Rias drop the piece in fear and watch as it pulsated a green and yellow glow.
Adam picked the piece up and the group saw the piece returning back into its original form. He tossed the piece to Rias and went back to his seat. Rias took her seat behind her desk "What was that?" "Corruption" the group looked at Adam "And what is this Corruption?" Kiba asked. "What you all saw is pure Corruption, the crystal is the catalytic form of Corruption. The reason the pawn changed is because whatever or whoever created the Horsemen it gave them a type immunity, the Corruption is their antibodies to keep them pure in a way."
Rias felt she should have told her brother but feared that her brother may come and try to kill her potential pawn. Rias know if her team currently enters a Rating Game they would lose. "So do you guys have any other questions for me?" Aika raised her hand "you refer yourself as we before, care to answer that." "The Horsemen and I have some difference, for example they would like to slaughter all of now, but I think senseless bloodshed is meaningless" Adam answered. Koneko spoke this time "this afternoon I saw a crow looking outside the club room, the crow had an aura surrounding it do you know what it is?" Adam looked at Koneko "The crow you saw is one of the Horsemen. They can change into animals in order to guide me. The crow you saw is Death." The group's eyes widen learning that one of the Horsemen was flying around on the campus and they barely sensed it."
"So then, I have answered your question now you are going to answer ours." Adam took a deep breath and looked a Rias "We want what do you plan to do to humanity, and don't lie we can tell if you're lying." Adam's eyes turn solid green and emitted a black aura. "I came here to finish my education, before I have to take my duties as heiress of the Gremory. While I'm here I'm task in eliminating any stray devils and creatures that may hurt humans and report it back to my superiors." Adam accepted her answer.
"Okay then, here's my question why did you let to die. You could have tried to ask me if I wanted to help you" Adam said with a bit of malice. "I'm not good a conceiving people. So I wait till they have no choice to make" Rias said. Adam's eyes turn back to normal, "It seem like you're telling the truth." Adam got up from his seat and walk towards the door. "If you would have just asked me I would have tried to help but now I think our paths are met for something else." He open the door and left.
The ORC club sat there trying to calm themselves after dealing with Adam's death grip of an aura and the fact that he can't become a devil. Koneko felt sad she found Adam interesting she would have like to be his friend. So she got up and ran to Adam, Adam was outside in front of the main entrance of the old school building. He looked at the sky the sun was setting and the cicadas began to sing.
Koneko open the door and saw Adam just standing there, "What do you want Koneko" Adam began to stretch feeling tired. "I'm sorry for not saving you but I had to listen to Rias's order" Koneko said with a hint of emotion. "Why do listen to her, she maybe your leader, but there are times when a strong leader's orders are not the right one." Koneko step closer to Adam, "Her family saved me; years ago my older sister was a servant to a devil. One day she became to power for him to control, she killed him and escaped. The High-classed devils heard about my sister's power and feared that one day I may become her. They were going to kill me, but Rias's older brother believed that won't happen and decided Rias to look after me. Ever since she has been nice and kind to me that's why I listen to her orders."
'She's telling the truth' Adam looked at Koneko and saw a small tear in her eye. Adam pulled out his cellphone from his pocket and walk towards Koneko. "You got a cellphone, let's trade numbers" Koneko nodded and pulled out her phone. They gave their information to each other, "If you guys want to contact me for you have the means so I'll see you tomorrow." Koneko and saw Adam leave, unknown to both of them a black cat with gold eyes watched them. The cat dropped down from the branch she watched from and followed the boy.
Next Chapter Adam is going have to fight some Strays and the Leaders of Factions are going learn about Adam's existence. I'm still taking suggstion for Aika's scared gear and if you think if Adam should get a Harem comment on who should be added as of right now I'm going to have Koneko and Kuroka As for the Horsemen's beast forms
