The Boat ride was agonizing, as far as Snow was concerned. He hated waiting, it was like wasting time, and he hated wasting time. Every second of life counted as far as he ever cared.

The sixteen year old exorcist recruit had spent most of the few days traveling with his fellow recruits, as they were lead by Exorcist General Klaud Nine; the female Exorcist had been escorting them for days to the European branch.

Snow at first could have joined the North American branch, as he was born in the States, but he traveled to Europe so that he could work beside Allen Walker who saved his life a year before from a horde of Akuma after they murdered the circus group he was working with as a Sharpshooter.

His Grey eyes look down at his water reflection as he sees his hair was now a black reflection of Allen's, with only the still growing stubbles on his face to separate them.

Snow chose to distance himself from the other Exorcist recruits who were either talking to one another or gawking at the blond headed general. He did neither, finding them both annoying. The female General was an attractive blood headed woman, but he had been raised better than that, despite being an orphan. That was probably the very reason the two of them got along so well.

The change of scenery was a big change for him. He hated change, but he planned on doing all he could to try and help Allen, even if it meant going through a new lifestyle. After Allen saved him, he mostly used his skill as a bounty hunter to make money, until he was finally ready, which was now.

He hears footsteps approaching him on the boat. They weren't the Female Generals; she had a certain elegant grace, perfection in the way she moved. These footsteps were heavier and erratic in the pressure.

His hand slowly begins to remove a buckle on his right holster; it was normally used to stop someone from stealing it from behind him. He undoes the buckle and then pulls back on the hammer and waits before drawing it. Thankfully it was just Ven, another Exorcist recruit who used a sword similar Kanda's.

"Thought I'd find you here?" Ven says, in his usual happy, go lucky tone.

Snow shrugs his head with his own usual distant but still sarcastic and joking attitude "What do you want Ven? Planning another prank on that recruit who told you off?" he asks, remembering how Ven and another recruit had been fighting and pulling pranks on one another after the recruit began to hit on his old Friend Aqua and tried to intimidate his older friend Terra.

"No, I think I made my point." Ven says to his new friend on this extended long trip.

"What do you need?" Snow asks, and then Ven replies "The General's wants us to get our things ready, were almost there."

Snow then picks up his bag and says "Thank god! I've been ready to get off this boat since we got on." Much to the amusement of Ven.

They both grab their bags, and then they join the crowd of recruits as they prepare to leave the boat. The crowd of thirty recruits was lead by General Klaud off the boat and into a dark and creepy building within London.

She later told the group of recruits stay in the room that they came into after passing through the front door.

Snow waits with the other in the main room, he moves around, looking for a nice spot to sit down at. Finally he finds it. The young gunslinger puts his bag down, before putting his back to the wall and sliding down to the ground.

He had seen his fair share of creepy in the world, his fellow recruits would probably even say he is a little creepy, but this place itself was creepy and eerie to Snow.

The recruits all wait in the room, unaware that they were all being observed by the new General Exorcist Yu Kanda and two of his fellow Exorcists Lenalee Lee and Lavi. With them were Bookman and Miranda Lotto.

Lenalee notices Snow, something about him was familiar, Lavi and Kanda could see it too. He had a bean sprout and short stack look about him.

Snow could feel the stares, the chill running up his spine as he felt like someone was watching him. He then lifts his head up and sees them. Bookman notices something dark in his eyes. They were not evil, but they were not good either.

Snow sees a cute girl with short cut green hair, she reminded him of the Lenalee person, the very same one Allen described the year before. Suddenly he feels his pet coming up his shirt.

Kanda, Lenalee and Lavi all notice it, as it gets caught on his necklace for a second then it gets free, then they all finally see what it is. It was Timcanpy, the winged Golem that had last been seen in the presence of Allen Walker, who disappeared one year before.

Timcanpy flies in the room then up to Lenalee, the joy visible in his motion.

"Timcanpy, get back down here!" Snow shouts to his companion, then it begins to comply, landing on his shoulder and sitting like a parrot.

Snow then looks back up to Lenalee, then he sees a red headed man with an eye patch, as well as a man with long blue hair and a sword. Allen mentioned them both as well. Yu Kanda and Lavi. Lenalee and Lavi look at Timcanpy wondering, how he came into the possession of the young American.

Chaozii Han had returned with the General as they both saw Timcanpy returning to Snow.

"So, you really did have the Golem on you." She says to the Recruit with respect clear in her voice.

Chaozii had an angry look on his face, remembering how the Golem had last been seen on Allen Walker. The Exorcist he held a grudge against.

"General, why does he have the traitor's Golem." Chaozii asks with Malice clear in his voice.

Komui Lee, who just arrived, tries to calm things down as he saw a look form on Snow's face, but it was too late.

"What did you just say about Allen?" Said Snow, before Chaozii replies "So your friends with that traitor?"

Snow then grabs the handle of his large caliber auto revolver and draws it. The weapon resembled General Cross's weapon Judgment, only it was jet black. He aims the weapon towards the Exorcists head as he looks down the iron sight as he says "Say hello Oblivion."

Two guards try to attack him from behind while his back was turned, but they all drop to the ground and the recruits and General see that it was Ven with his one sided blade that he called "Soul Eater" drawn.

"Attacking a man when his back is turned, that's just cold, even for you cowards." Ven says as he mocks and taunts the guards for attacking his friend when he wasn't looking.

Snow looks Chaozii dead in the eyes, as he pulls down on the hammer and says "You have a problem with Allen or something! Or are you just an ass?"

Chaozii then says "He was a traitor and a monster, no better than the Earl." Causing Snow to punch him across the face and knocking him to the ground, before reaming his weapon and saying "First of all, Allen is NOT a traitor. He is a good man and twice the man you could ever hope to be. Second, if you ever insult him, I will personally end you."

Kanda and the others manage to reach the level the recruits were and they ready their weapons, but then Klaus says "ENOUGH! I did not bring you here so that you could kill each other."

Snow puts the hammer back in its place, and then he places it back in its holster. Ven does the same, putting Soul Eater back in its sheath.

Komui Lee then says to Snow and Ven "Well, since you two are already up here, why don't we let you go through first."

Snow then makes a smirk and says "Get's me away from these jokers, than why not." with Ven chuckling, knowing how to tell when his friend was joking, unlike their fellow recruits, who could never tell when he was serious and when he was joking.

Lenalee saw his personality as cold and uncaring or cynical and says "Hevlaska is goanna have a good time with you." Wanting to see how he would respond.

Snow looks back to her and the others and asks "Who's Hevlaska? Some kind of physician?"

Lavi then makes a smirk and says "Oh, I'm just sorry I won't get to see your reaction."

Snow and Ven are led by Komui into an elevator like platform. Snow leans against one of the bars as Ven looks around at the vast space with excitement. Ven was a fifteen year old new to the Exorcist life, but he was skilled from the little experience he has had with the Akuma. He was a parallel to Snow who found little excitement in this stuff anymore. His life as a bounty hunter and an Exorcist made him a more serious than his friend.

The platform finally stops moving "Finally? So when do when do we get to meet this Hevlaska?" he asks, curious to meet this Hevlaska creature.

Suddenly a giant white ghostly creature appears before them and Snow asks "What is that thing?" shocked and amazed by the size, just like Ven was.

Komui then says "This is Hevlaska. Keeper of the Innocence cube."

Hevlaska looks down at the two of them, then a tentacle connected to her body touches Ven on the chest and she says "You are Ven, swords man of the Soul Eater. You will have a great part in the battle to come as you aid the destroyer of time."

The tentacle then backs away from Ven, as Hevlaska turns her head to Snow. He was tempted to reach for his Oblivion's handle, but he chooses not to. The tentacle touches touches Snow on the forehead before she says "Snow, the last of the Nephilim decedents. Your importance in the Destroyer of Times journey will be great."

Snow takes a step back, as he feels something inside him stir as Komui and Ven watch his eyes begin to glow red for an instant, before turning back to their normal grey color. He then shakes his head before looking to the two and asks "What are you two staring at?"

Komui then says "Well that is phenomenal. I have no idea what it means, but Hevlaska predictions tend to lead to some great things."

Snow rubs his forehead, and then Komui says "Well, you've been cleared, I'll have Lenalee or one of the Finders shows you to your room. But first there's the matter of your name. You need a name that will help you remain incognito."

"What's wrong with my name?" Snow asks, before Komui says "Snow is just a single name; you need one that will help you blend in or give yourself a last name."

Komui then asks "In the future, what should we address you by?" Then Snow says "Walker, My name is Snow Walker." Much to the surprise of Komui and Ven.
