Rogue Crew: Chapter 1

Chapter 1

The Beginning

Traverse Town, Night

The people of Traverse Town were enjoying a nice, quiet, and peaceful night. Nights like this didn't happen that often, with the heartless and other hostile monsters alike swarming the city, so nights like these are more than welcome. Suddenly, an explosion went off in one of the houses and the everyone nearby jumped to their feet thinking it was an attack. They were going to either run or hide until…

"What the hell Ed?!" shouted a very mad girl.

"Well if must know, I was doing some work until you came right in without knocking, again!" replied a young male voice. They went back to relax as the two yelled at each other. Like most of the people in Traverse Town, they lost their worlds to the darkness, but somehow found their way here. But unlike most of the people in Traverse Town, they stand their ground against the Heatless and fight them to defend the people. However, they do get into fights with each other- but as long as they don't kill each other then it's fine.

"For a ninja, you're not that very quiet, Sakura," Edward said with a cheeky grin.

"What was that?!" Sakura replied, angrily.

There aren't a lot of empty houses in Traverse Town, because there are so many refugees from different worlds, so the two were pretty much forced to live with each other. The people of Traverse Town learned to put with their arguments. Plus, they do care for each other deep down and are willing to keep the townspeople from danger.

"You're dead Edward Elric!"

"Sakura put down that table!"

Now a few people are starting to go over to Sakura's and Edward's house to stop the fight before somebody gets hurt.

Outside of Traverse Town, Night

The outside of Traverse Town was nothing but a dark forest all around. There was no other towns, cities, or even roads around. Suddenly, there was a burst of light that came from the sky, and then crash down on the forest surface. At the center of the hole that the light crashed in, lies a boy with pink hair, tall, thin, wearing a long robe, with white cuff and collar; completely unconscious. Then a black liquid came out of the boy's chest and take the form of some kind of thing, it looks like something from a cartoon with an x on its face and big white eyes.

"Crona! Get your ass up! I'm hungry!" The thing yelled at the boy, but the boy still unconscious. Then the weird looking thing starts slapping the boy until he woke up.

"Oww…" The boy moaned as he touched his red cheek.

"Why did you do that, Ragnarok?" The boy asked the thing knows as Ragnarok.

Ragnarok grind with the knuckles on Crona's head and shouted, "I woke you up because you were unconscious in the middle of the woods! You are an idiot! You could have to get us killed if I didn't wake your ass up! Do I get a thank you?!"

"Thank you." Crona apologized, but Ragnarok didn't let him off the hook that easy.

"Thanks very much!" Ragnarok growled, grinding his knuckles harder on the boy's skull.

After much apologizing (mostly from Crona) and shouting (mostly from Ragnarok), the two started heading toward Traverse Town (seeing as that was the only town they saw.) Little did they know that yellow eyes were watching them...

Unknown, Night

Trees that have no leaves on them reach out in the black night sky with no stars, it was as if they were trying to escape this seemingly lifeless world. In a clearing that was covered in fog, a tall, lone figure walked toward the center of the clearing where a skinnier and slightly shorter figure stood.

"You have called me?" The tall figure asked the other.

"Yes, our intelligence has gathered where the weapon is heading," stated the skinny figure." I want you to bring it here."

The bigger figure bowed to the other figure, before walking out of the clearing.

The skinny figure, now alone, looks up to the night sky with one yellow eye that seems to glow in the night.

"It going to be one hell of a travel to get it, but the reward will be well worth it."

Terra, Night

"So you guys are going to be there?" A girl asked, holding a phone to her ear.

"Of course we're going! Who else is going to cover your back when you explore that old abandoned factory?" a male voice said on the other side phone line.

"Come on, Scott! I'm a lot stronger than you think I am!" replied the boy, sounding a bit annoyed with the other's actions.

"Whatever Haelth. Just wait for me and Oliver to be there," Scott said before hanging up.

Haelth laid on her back on her bed. She pressed her lips together, but then her eyes glimmered with excitement once she thought about tomorrow. Haelth was 14; a bit small for her age, skinny, and flat-chested, she has blue eyes and red hair that was blue on the tips. She wore a black t-shirt, blue jeans, and a dusty brown jacket. All in all, she didn't look like a hunter, but she was in a school that trains kids like her to fight against the monsters. Even if Haelth herself didn't want to be a hunter, she'd make the most of it- because it was the law that if someone beat or killed someone else in Heartland, then they would be trained to be either a hunter or soldier. While she didn't want to become a hunter, she did want to see what lies beyond the wall of Heartland and only hunters and soldiers were allow out there.

'This is going to be great!' Haelth thought excitement. Little did she know, her life was about to turn upside-down tomorrow, for better or for worse.
