Chapter Text
Akira returns home, landing on the rooftop as Devilman a day well done. However, the moment his wings retracted into his back, he was greeted with a voice unlike anyone else's. "Right on time Devilman. Busy day I take it?" Akira turns to meet a man hiding in the shadows. Only one eye was visible.
Akira simply stares at the other. "Depends on who's asking..."
"I'll take that as a yes then." The figure emerges from the darkness. He had shaggy brown hair, scars all around his face and one missing eye. In terms of attire, he had a long cape and his shirt had a skull on it. "Don't be alarmed, but yes, I do know your identity, Akira Fudo." He grew a smile to make himself appear more inviting. "You're quite a phenomenal figure, and I want you to join me. We'll have other phenomenal figures unified under a good cause- protect the world from any and all threats and ensure peace. Giant Robots, sorcerers, sword-wielding demons, this is a bigger world that goes beyond Satan himself, young man."
Akira took a moment to consider it. This pirate looking man essentially came out of nowhere and asked him to join a team he has no idea of who it consists of. Staring down the man once more, he pops a question. "Let's say, I do take you up on that. I don't mind who or what is in your team...What's your name?"
"Captain. Captain Harlock." Harlock gives a bow as he approached Akira. "You don't need to take up my offer. Whether it's important to you or not, is entirely of your own free will."
