KIND DES SCHICKSAL
"Yuki, watch out!"
-----
"Hehe. You still have a lot to learn about Japanese, Michel."
-----
"Ken, honestly, I can't understand how you're still such a klutz."
-----
"I saw Youji. He didn't remember me at all."
-----
"Tell me...is Omi happy?"
-----
"Wait for me, Aya..."
-----
"Oniichan?! Is this you, Oniichan...?"
-----
"Yes, Omi...I'll be there, too..."
-----
"Kaachan! Don't you know me?"
-----
"Heh. Can you boys still keep up?"
-----
"Let me help you, Aya! I want to stay with you!"
-----
"It's okay. Everything will be okay now..."
-----
"It is my weakness that keeps me alive."
-----
"Asuka...why won't you leave me alone...?"
-----
"Things were different. Things were different then."
-----
"It is not yet my time..."
-----
"Omi's not coming."
-----
"I haven't killed anyone outside a mission. Yet."
-----
"I don't particularly enjoy being whipped!"
-----
"Manx!"
-----
"Leave Weiss. I'm ordering you...don't lose yourselves anymore than you already have..."
-----
"They were Weiss before us?"
-----
"Shion..."
-----
"Ken, what the hell's the matter with you!?"
-----
"I thought things would be different. Somehow..."
-----
"I waited all this time just to kill you. And now...given the perfect chance...I find I can't do it."
-----
"I will always think of us as a family."
-----
"They will meet their end soon enough."
-----
"It will be better for her if she forgets she ever met you."
-----
"What?! You're not dead?!"
-----
"I always knew it'd come down to me and you."
-----
"Doushite...minna...doushite...?"
-----
"...I'm sorry."
-----
"You know what happens when you go against the mission, Ken."
-----
"There will never be a future for us."
-----
"We are the hunters in the night...Weiss."
Prologue
-----
A starless night, dim and eerily still against an all too grey sky. He stands atop a bridge seldom used, his motorcycle parked nearby as he stares into the gently rippling waters below. Only a few nights ago this same spot had been uncharacteristically lively. He had been there, watching from a safe distance, and remembers with vague fascination the figure of a cross etched into the water. Eight people had still been inside the building that once stood there when it collapsed so magnificently. And eight people left alive, he knows without a doubt. Among those eight had been his father, though in this day and age he has yet to be born and will not even be conceived for almost ten years.
Weiss. Schwartz. Kritiker. Estet. And other factors the players themselves have yet to become aware of. There is so much, so much he has known all his life to be fact, but that should never have come to pass. He has been sent to change that. He has been sent to set things right, even at the risk of so many unknowns. What will the future hold if he succeeds in changing it? There is only one way to find out.
The wind picks up, catching hold of his hair. Some falls into his eyes, though the main length reaches past his shoulders. He stands tall, no longer leaning over the railing, and turns with a sharp billow of his trench coat—black, as is the rest of his attire.
Suddenly, his helmet is back on his head, and he is kicking his bike into gear, speeding down the broken road away from memories he has never known first hand.
Tonight Weiss will be on the move, relocating to a safer location in a mobile version of their flower shop cover. He must be on their tail at exactly the right time, or he will have to play catch up, something not even the future has time for. Whether or not he will engage the assassins tonight is still questionable. But his mission is clear and his own curiosity pushes him forward into a night of countless possibilities.
A/N:
Clearly, this is merely a taste of what is to come. Title means "Child of Fate." My hero is someone's son and he has been sent back in time to stop the horrible events that follow the original series, namely: the OVA, Dramatic Precious, Gluhen, Weiss Side B, and the little piddly things in between. If you do not have much knowledge of all or even just some of these continuations of the original, fret not, because anything you need to know will be explained. Of course, this may include spoilers.
The beginning of this first part is events from Weiss Side B backwards until the very last line Aya says in the series, "Blah, blah, blah...we are Weiss." Just to set the scene. If you love Weiss as much as I do, and Schwartz, too, then hopefully this story will save them as I wish they could be.
Eventual RanxKen as the main pairing, though they will certainly not be the only pairing. All characters will make an appearance, so this really will be an epic, I hope.
Please REVIEW and let me know if this is a good idea. If you're not sure, at least give the next chapter a try, okay? Huggles, minna! Ja!
