Threads of Fate

A/N: My first fanfic since god knows how long. Not to mention it's my first DGM fanfic. Have to admit I lost the inspiration to write these past few years and just literally found it again after watching this series. I will admit, that I might update slow due to work and other personal matters.

Summary: Allen and the gang are still looking for General Cross, still no no avail. However when the finally got a lead, they didn't expect to find a young man that is able to defeat the Akuma without the use of Innocence. They request his help to find Cross, only to be surprised that he is unwilling to help them. Yet one way or another, they end up crossing each other's paths several times. And the more they run into each other, Allen begins to wonder who this guy really is and why he seems so familiar.

Disclaimer: I do not own DGM or any of it's characters. The OC is something I've created for this story.

Enjoy

Prolouge: Musician's Legacy

The sun was starting to set on a cold winter night as the tempurature started to drop. However it didn't stop the two yong men from running indoors. No they just simply stood there, staring at each other and acting like the harsh weather didn't bother them. One of them had dark brown, nearly black hair. He had a calm look on his face, as if he had made a choice of a lifetime and he was content with it. The other man however didn't share the same look. If anything he appeared to be pissed off at the other's decision.

It was quiet. Neither of the men spoke at the moment. The only thing that currently broke the silence was the upcoming wind that would soon blow past them, which would finally start the conversation between the two men.

" So... You're really going to go through with this? I thought you were over this stupid thing with your clan." The pissed off man said, his red hair settling down from the wind.

The other just gave a slight smirk before he replied. " I'm sorry Marian. It's something I must do. And my reasons are my own."

"I Don't care what your reasons are, You're just being stupid! You're literally going to get yourself killed if you go through with this." Cross immediately said. If only he could hit this guy to get that smirk off his face.

There was a short moment of silence once again before the other spoke. " I am truely sorry, but I have made up my mind. I know that this is to much to ask, but please watch over Mana for me. At least till I return... Dead or alive."

Cross just closed his eyes for a moment. "Tch. Fine. I'll do that. You go ahead and get yourself killed." Cross said. He then turned and left, leaving the other man behind. And he sure as hell didn't think twice about looking back. However there was one thought that went through his mind. ' You're being so stupid... Neah Walker.'

The man known as Neah Walker just kept smirking, even as he watched Cross walking away. His skin turned grey as the Stigmata formed on his forehead, revealing his identity as the Fourteenth, The Musician. "It's time we finish this fight Earl." He said to himself.

It's been ten years since Cross last spoken to Neah. The Musician is now dead as predicted, but Cross heard that Neah put up one hell of a fight, almost managing to kill the Millenium Earl. Cross couldn't help but sarcastically think that he would pay to see that fight between the two Noahs.

However that was then, this is now. He was now standing at the outskirts of a small village that was burned down to the ground. He knew very well that this was due to an Akuma attack.

" Have I come too late?" Cross asked himself. Whatever was going through his head was anyone's guess.

A Finder was seen running towards Cross. He stopped as he finally reached the Exorcist, leaning forward a bit to catch his breath. Cross waited for a moment to let the Finder do so before he spoke.

"Report." Cross simply demanded.

The Finder stood straight up. " It was definatly an Akuma attack Sir. I'm afriad that everyone is dead." He said.

This made Cross silent for a moment. "What of Adrian?" He finally let out.

The Finder was hesitant, but he answered. " I don't know. There was no trace of him anywhere Sir."

Once again Cross became silent to be lost in his thoughts. However that was soon interupted by the sound of more Akuma approaching, all level one. Cross couldn't help but let out a smirk as he pulled out his Innocence, Judgement.

"It's a good thing you Akuma came back. You all save me the trouble of finding you so I can kick your ass." Cross said to the Akuma as he aimed at them.

' I hope you're alright and somewhere safe Adrian...' He thought before he fired his gun at the Akuma.

A/N: Oh it feels good to start up a new fanfic. As for my old ones... I have no clue. I'll get to finishing them if I have the time. Anyway leave a review. I know it's not that long. Actually I might not make any obnoxiously long chapters at all considering that I'm so friggen busy all the time.

But I promise that you'll find this story interesting as comes along, that is if you have an open mind. I will say that I'm actuially going to try to stick with the actual plot of DGM just with a... little twist.

Leave a review. Crictism is welcomed. Flamming and trolling are not.

Till next time \m/
