Welcome to Death City

Welcome to Death City

Introductions

Outside. There was a crowd building up for what was to be the next commission of students into the Death Weapon Meister's Academy, but people prefered Shibusen. Random in number, pairs were starting to form. For every meister already paired, they'd been ranked one star meisters. As the sway of thing may have changed something over the course of previous events, it was tranquil nonetheless. Among the hustle and bustle standing at the steps to initiate the orientation to all the unpaired meisters and weapons. None other than Shinigami-sama's offspring, Death The Kid, a six star meister and now apart of the staff of Shibusen.

"Welcome. Welcome all, into the doors of Shibusen we graciously accept all of our new students. It is this, you've been given the tag of meister and weapon, you're left to seek out a partner with the opposite tag from the one your wearing. It seems simple correct? Things are never as easy as they may first appear, just like symmetry." he'd announced with a brief pause as Liz and Patty sighed as his OCD was as bad as ever.

"When finding your partner you agree to a mutual bond and understanding, and your resonance with the other's wavelength will then be able to sprout and grow. If there is an incompatibility between the two of you, the meister will not be able to even wield his weapon in his hands properly. Another important note to you newcomers, always remain confident in your strengths and abilities. It takes little to change the nature of one's wavelength and the results could spell disaster amidst a battle. So remember that. With this being said, may you enjoy your time spent here at Shibusen!"

As the flames of the candles burned, fireworks launched in the sky above them.

With his hand buried into his pants pockets, the tag of meister was missing from his shirt as he stood among the currently enrolled students in the balcony watching the small crowd stand on the school grounds. Slumping over to get a good look as the principal's son was giving the orientation. He yawned, they were starless meisters, for when they'd get their first or if they could, he didn't know or pay it any mind. Now bored, they'd soon be returning to Maka-sensei's soul perception lesson.

"It's going to be one of those days isn't it?" he'd said somewhat tired.

Turning from the rapidly fading orientation, the new kids were finding their partners. It was an idea he could relate on, between the rushing enrolled students, he'd lost his. 'Where could she be? Well, i'm sure i'll find her, you can spot a bright bust like that from across a football field. Heh.' The nameless meister quickly blended in with the returning students through Shibusen's halls.

[Regret]

"Blah blah blah blah blah..."

That's all Ly preferred to hear, all orientations have the same message,

"Have a good time and follow the rules."

Any more info she probably already knew, being that she's already heard the whole thing because of her being here a while, prior to this orientation.

Her real interest was scanning over the new comers. She picked over them to see who were strong, who were miesters and weapons. She sighed though, she couldn't really tell much just by looking over them, not having the adept ability to see souls like her partner does.

"Oh well... the speech is about to end soon anyways and the newcomers will scramble to find a partner. Sorta scary to watch actually, like a feeding frenzy sharks go into." She chucked at her own joke.

'I should head back to Jerome, Were supposed to be in perception class together after this' She sighed. 'No offense to Maka-sensei, Shes pretty cool, but I suck in that class... And I hate sucking' She thought while shifting her eyes.

She turned away from the mass below and weaved through the small crowd in the balcony too look for her partner.

She finally spotted him turning to go back with a small gleam in his eye, like he was thinking something perverted.... She shook her head and tossed the notion away, she was being to paranoid.

"Hey Jerome... Going ahead without me huh? How could you leave poor ol' me to weather these halls alone?" She said sarcastically.

[Chimubar]

Sitting on the edge of one of the towers that tower above a replication of Shinigami's skull was a small boy. He had a perfect view of all the students old and new listening to Mr.Kid's orentation. As young as young as he is, most people would think that a person as young as him would be a new student in Shibusen, but this is actually his second semester and he should be on that balcony with the other verterans.

When Mr.Kid was finished with his orentation speech, the boy jumped down from the tower and ontop of another student. "Oh, my bad." The only words he said before he started towards the door, almost getting trampled in the process. Once he got past the major part of the crowd, Cross started to think of what class to go to. He usually just followed his meister to the classes but Sorai was nowhere in sight.

Probably sleeping on a bench somewhere, Lost and hopeless over where to go he just shadowed a some guy who was walking alone. His name escaped him, it was just on the tip of his tounge. Before he could remember it, the boy's partner came someone who Cross remembers perfectly. "LY WHAT'S UP!!!!!!" He yelled getting everyone's attention

[SoRAI]

"Bah!, just another dam orientation" Sorai spouted under his breath at the start of the announcements. from the position he was sitting in he couldn't be spotted easily he was sitting on the far end of the balcony. " So many new students this year! I wonder if we got any tasty tarts" His eyes scanned the crowd for attractive young ladies but from the distance he was he couldnt make out any good shots at bodies. "meh....i'l just take a quick nap" the young meister let himself drift to sleep to DTK's speech.

Sorai' jumped up startled by explosions. turns out it was just the fireworks ushering in the new semester. His hands started to shake with excitement he always enjoyed the start of the new year. He stood up over the balcony and watched all the newcomers frantically searching for partners. He could only help but smile" ha i hope they all find someone well. He hopped off the balcony onto smaller ledges until he dropped in front of cross" Lookin for me lil buddy? Sorry about my absesnce i needed a nap, this dam orientation is always boring. "Oh my apologies Ly" He just realized he had interupted there conversation. he stood forward with his right hand on the back of his head" Gah im sorry haha but how ya doin?"

[KR∆NK]

Her sleeves crunched as her elbows bent into a comfortable resting position on the high balcony. She pushed her arms tightly against her chest to expose a massive amount of cleavage. Her choppy dark grey hair gently blew past her mouth and eyes as the wind carried it across her face every now and then. Kynotek stared over her left shoulder to see Ly and Sorai most likely talking about something unimportant. As she shifted her gaze below the balcony, the children were frantically searching through a crowd of meisters and weapons as partners. This was the way her and Shoutta met a year ago. She would never forget the look of distress on Shoutta's face as he saw his meister was taller and older than him. Luckily, he wasn't slobbering over her lavishing looks like most boys his age did. That's why Kynotek and Shoutta shared such a remarkable bond that no other Meister or Weapon normally had. A mother and son bond is how she would describe it herself. As thoughts of Shoutta galloped through her mind, she began to wonder where he could be.

His hands pushed through the large crowd of students that lingered on the balcony examining the newcomers below. He huffed a bit because of the amount of stairs he just flew up to get here on time. His thin choppy black hair blew behind him as he ran towards Kynotek. But before he reached her he saw one of the students jump from the high balcony to the lower one. He froze in that spot and stared up, the sun lightly reflecting off his goggles.

"That would be so much fun," he thought immediately. His little boy smile widened into a full-grown grin. He quickly turned around before he could be noticed by Kynotek, and ran back to the doors that led to the stairs. The flight of stairs that led to the higher balcony was empty as Shoutta spastically ran up them, with his tongue hanging out like a rabid dog. His heart raced as his ringed hands gave the door a push and the sun lit up upon his face. He nonchalantly stepped towards the empty balcony edge and took a peak down. His leg lifted and he firmly placed his foot on the edge for balance; then without a second though jumped off the balcony, laughing his balls off as loud as possible.

Kynotek was getting worried about Shoutta when she heard a mischievous laughter from above slowly getting louder and closer. She quickly recognized the laugh, and jolted from her position into a running movement, every curve on her body bouncing vigorously with each step her stiletto made against the ground. She squinted her eyes as the sun made contact with her pupils.
The boy was falling with full speed now, and she didn't make it to his un-lucky landing. She picked up speed and shoved through the crowd with the intensity of a mother with a dying son. As the crowd gasped she knew he hadn't landed on his feet. There was a large circle of watching people, as Shoutta lay motionless against the balcony ground. Her heart skipped a beat as she saw him lying there, and her hands slapped against her mouth holding back non-existent words. She dashed towards Shoutta and planted her knees directly beside him and leaned over to get a look at his face. Her chest glistened with sweat in the sunlight as it was bluntly exposed to the viewing crowd, but she didn't give a damn.

"Shoutta, are you okay?" She managed to sputter as she removed his goggles. His eyes were closed, but his mouth slowly moved into a sarcastic smirk and his eyelids popped open exposing lightning blue irises that would make any girl jealous. His body shifted and exposed his left arm in the shape of a curled up whip.

"Thought of this just in time," he said as it flashed back into a perfectly well arm. Kynotek's mouth turned into a thin line as she helped him up.

“I almost just shit my pants, Shoutta. Enough of these crazy circus acts you keep performing!" Her eyes were fierce, and full of power. Shoutta's shoulders slumped into a vulnerable I-just-screwed-up position. "You didn't get hurt, that's all that matters," she said as her arm rapped around his broad shoulder. She apologized to everyone who had been viewing the ludicrous scene that just took place.

[Healing Vision]

"Hey Jerome... Going ahead without me huh? How could you leave poor ol' me to weather these halls alone?"

"With tits like that, you're basically asking for the attention, but if you want me to accompany you, I'll try my best not to be pulled in by their center of gravity." his comment was swift and cool as always.

Then out of nowhere a cry for Ly's name came from one of the smaller runts. "LY WHAT'S UP!!!!!!" The sound of his voice did ring in Jerome's ears. In his readiness to head back, beat he wasn't to get sidetracked by 'the competition'. He turned his head, and as his body did pivot down came down yet another one. This time the meister to his weapon. From the corner of his eye he caught the back of his head before turning completely and heading off down the hall.
"See you back in class Ly." he'd said without a second glance.

Walking back down the hall, treading the interior of Shibusen, symmetrically aligned, from Kid-sama's refurbishing the building's interior. Catching his eyes, happened to be Shibusen's assignment bulletin board, a majority of the assignments. Within the last five years they expanded it, so it was actually much larger now. The plaques on the walls were assignments, they had the tag 'new' for missions put up recently, missions tied with a white slip for teams currently assigned to said mission, and red seal of approval stamped on missions completed. Supposedly the board is updated every few days or so, but Shibusen intelligence around the globe meant they had no choice but to expand their organization.

"I can already tell which one we're taking next."

Passing the board he headed back with the flowing traffic of other one-stars. Through the doors he'd entered taking a seat, pulling his feet up and leaning back with his eyelids down. As the classroom would continue to pile up with a flow of students coming in. It wasn't long before he nodded off.

[Regret]

"With tits like that, you're basically asking for the attention, but if you want me to accompany you, I'll try my best not to be pulled in by their center of gravity."

Her eye twitched as she decided whether or not to leave a dent in his face. Always being the smart mouth he is, those comments always get her riled up. She didn't think her breasts were that big though, I mean compared to that girl Kynotek, Ly's breasts were practically medium size...

She was about to reply back to the snide comment with a clever one herself but she was interrupted by someone.

"LY WHAT'S UP!!!!!!"

She almost jumped out of her skin, not expecting the loud greeting.

"Oh, Good Morning Cross." She said in false cheeriness and eye still twitching from Jer's comment.

They didn't have much chance to talk though as Sorai dropped in front of them and started to talk to Cross. A passing thought of rude went through her head but she shrugged it off easily, not caring much. It would be pretty childish to be upset about those things.

"Oh my apologies Ly."

She nodded, accepting the apology.

"See you back in class Ly." Jerome Called from the outside of the conversation, not really wanting to participate.

"Alright fine, just make sure you get the same seats, its easier to cheat off of you in that row." She said laughing, not really planning to cheat. Though given the option...

"Gah im sorry haha but how ya doin?"

"Don't worry Sorai, no need to apologize, we barely got into the conversation anyways. I'm fine as always... just miffed that Jerome always likes to rile me up." She said eye still twitching, Her boobs do not have a center of gravity..

She noticed lots of people running through the hall to the balcony. She heard a word of "jumper." She wondered what the deal was about, but turned her attention back to Cross and Sorai.

"So... You guys have any missions planned yet?" She said at an attempt to keep the conversation going. "How far are you guys in collecting souls anyway?" She said, curious on how close they were to making Cross a weapon.

[SoRAI]

Sorai was always dazzled by Ly's beauty whenever he got the chance to see her. Though he would never tell her right out about it. he shrugged his arms in a lazy fashion before he addressed her. So many thoughts started to cloud his mind he had finally realized that he had no clue as to what he would do this year.

"Don't worry Sorai, no need to apologize, we barely got into the conversation anyways. I'm fine as always... just miffed that Jerome always likes to rile me up."

Ha, i never really got the chance to know that guy he seems like a pretty cool cat" So many people crowded the halls all looking as if they were lost in a maze but all scooting about in a frenzy. Out of the corner of his eye he couldn't help but make out three girls in a little group giggling and looking over at him every now and then" Chyea...i still got it" He said to himself in a cocky fashion. One of Sorai's favorite things to do is flirt with women however being rich as he was he never uses his money for attraction.

So... You guys have any missions planned yet?

"Nah not at the moment at least not that i'm aware of i've been pretty lazy as of recent though but thankyou for the reminder i should probably get on top of that, same goal still applies though" He playfully patted Cross on the head" Gonna make my boy here a death scythe in no time of course can't let him down now can I"

How far are you guys in collecting souls anyway?"

"You know what...honestly i've lost count i believe Cross keeps track of that i just kick asses and move on i think im a bit to rash for my own good ya know. But good thing is we lucked out we already have a witch soul so i'm not worried about looking for one and get my ass beaten*cough* which wouldn't happen anyway.....ya know since im cool and all" He said in a nervous fashion. Sorai had never actually fought a witch before and was in no rush to face one.

"But anway how about you guys how close are you to whatever it is you wana do?"

[Chimubar]

Lookin for me lil buddy? Sorry about my absesnce i needed a nap, this dam orientation is always boring.

As Cross was about to enter a conversation with Ly, Sorai the very person he was looking for appeared out of knowhere. "Its about time. Lemme get on your back, I'm about to get trampled here." Without even waiting for Sorai's answer Cross jumped on his back and pulled his hair until he got on his shoulders., just after he patted his head.

Cross was surprised as to how much he can see from Sorai's shoulders. He was even able to see Maka-sensei's room from the veiw. "You better not let me down. I only have three years left to become the youngest death-scythe in history. If I dont get it before thirteen then that Justin guy beats me" He said, answering both Sorai's and Ly's questions and comments. "You guys don't have to worry about not getting the good missions. I've already reserved all the good missions for me and Sorai. I reserved like four or five of really good one's for you and whats his face too Ly." There is not a 100% chance that they will have all those missions considering that Cross' meaning of reserving is writing his name on the back of them...

How far are you guys in collecting souls anyway?" Ly said trying to keep the convo going

"You know what...honestly i've lost count i believe Cross keeps track of that i just kick asses and move on i think im a bit to rash for my own good ya know. But good thing is we lucked out we already have a witch soul so i'm not worried about looking for one and get my ass beaten*cough* which wouldn't happen anyway.....ya know since im cool and all" He said in a nervous fashion. Sorai had never actually fought a witch before and was in no rush to face one.

"But anway how about you guys how close are you to whatever it is you wana do?"

"Well we have fifty-two souls right now." He said, not really sure if that's the exact amount. "Oooo oooo ooo the other week me and Sorai beat up this really strong vampire. It turns out the he was a Kishin egg so I got to eat it. It tasted like crap though....... yo, we should start getting to class. Hurry up and move slave" He said kicking Sorai in the back to make him move.

[Ubiquity]

So what would you do if a very random looking suit of armor floated by and talked to you?? Maybe scream or run, or just try and not let the idea mess with the mind. Those things could work, but they might at the very same time make it all a lot worse. Now to just say this was normal would be a lie....."How far are you guys in collecting souls anyway?" Neither format of essence would make it so that Seru Es’Dentia Demiurge Va’Orsa could be seen on any way but it was all to soon change. The armor floated closer and higher than before.

"Heh, well not nearly as much as me, but whatever or now." Soon after more spoke yet Seru only cared about the forces it might get to play with.

Then the one that Seru really might converse with made a near vital mistake when he said: and quite frankly, "Hurry up and move slave." Seru stared or a short minute then appeared before them all.

It was generating such a high pitched dense sound that all would hear. The question was simple though. "Slave?? You said slave??"

[Chimubar]

"Slave?? You said slave??"

A very loud high-pitched sound came from what seemed to be knowhere. Cross closed his eyes and plugged his ears as to not go deaf, or blind just in case there was a flash of light. When the boy did open his eyes, he had to blink twice to make sure what he saw was real. A. Floating. Suit. Of. Armor.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so cool!!"

Cross' reaction more than likely shocked most people. How many people would find a somewhat menecing floating suit of armor appearing out of knowhere with no body inside cool?? Cross jumped off of his friend's shoulders so he can get a closer look at the armor. First he looked under the armor; nothing. Unless someone was pulling a prank on him, this guy must have had a major tragedy happen to him.

"Dude, you are so dope. Are you a meister or weapon?? Oooo are you a new teacher here? What class you teaching??"

As Cross started to drill him with questions he wondered how the suit looked like before he became like that ( if he wasn't like that when he was born). Cross started to imagine him as about 5'10ish with long white hair, muscular phisique, sharp claws and with mocha skin. Eventually, Cross started to feel the armor, it almost felt like bone. "I'm Cross. This is my meister Sorai, and my weapon friend over there Ly."

It was after introducing himself when Cross remembered Mr.Armor's question. "About the slave thing, I was just joking around," he explained. "Sorai here is more or less my best friend, he would never be my slave. I'm sorry if I offended you", Cross continued completly ignoring the fact that Mr.Armor was eavesdropping.

[Ubiquity]

Seru didn't get any chance to do much of anything after its question, but showed no signs of anger when the boy spewed questions at it. Then again Seru didn't really show signs of anything. "Dude, you are so dope."

The armor wheezed, "Drugs??"

"Are you a meister or weapon??"
Then a quick answer of, "Yes, no swords, guns??"

The kid just would NOT let up like at all. "Oooo are you a new teacher here? What class you teaching??" Then the kid started poking it. Seru just might have felt really considerably violated had it been a woman or something close that. Before long Cross apologized and gave more valuable information, but.....

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!?!?!?" Delayed reaction much?? "Who kid I gotta admit I've known ya less than long and you just are rude as hell," Seru pointed its bony claw at Cross. "I want your soul." Seru moved closer. "Give it. To. ME!!!!"

[SoRAI]

"Oooo oooo ooo the other week me and Sorai beat up this really strong vampire. It turns out the he was a Kishin egg so I got to eat it. It tasted like crap though....... yo, we should start getting to class. Hurry up and move slave" He said kicking Sorai in the back to make him move.

Sorai's face held a blank expression"-_-..." he looked around still and the halls were starting to become less crowded as everyone was findind where they needed to be but in this same instance a high pitch sound started to echo out of his head" My god what is that !" Suddenly cross hopped off his shoulders which was odd normally cross would always be up there unless something caught his attention.

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! You are so cool!!"

Sorai turned around slowly to see what it was that had Cross all riled up "What are you going on about bro....?" as he turned around fully what caught his eye was the strangest of sights. A living embodiment of armor just floating there as if thats something normal...." Uh.......i'm not sure what to think right now....bah it is pretty cool though!" Sorai's reaction started to change from freaked out to curious. He watched with one hand in his pocket as Cross examined the armor peice and even asked it questions which it responded to which was very odd.


"SHUT THE FUCK UP!?!?!?" Delayed reaction much?? "Who kid I gotta admit I've known ya less than long and you just are rude as hell,"

Sorai's eyes turned into a more concerned look than anything at this moment, Cross was like a little brother to him and he would be damned if anyone would talk down to him." Aye....bro watch your tongue when talking to him"

"I want your soul." Seru moved closer. "Give it. To. ME!!!!"

Sorai' stepped in front of Cross at this very moment" Ha thats funny, only way your getting to him is through me and i'm not about to let that happen you see I'm his guardian, no one.......NO ONE! Threatens my boy when im around ya got that bub" he said forcefully pressing his hand against the cold armor" Lets go cross...No need to waste our time on freakshows like this guy"

[Regret]

"Ha, i never really got the chance to know that guy he seems like a pretty cool cat"

"Cool... Cat..?" Ly never heard that phrase uttered before.
She heard some giggling and pointing at Sorai though. She grumbled a bit. 'Honestly we are in a mythical like school, There's no need to be thinking about boys during this time. That's why they wont become death scythes.' She thought to herself.

"Nah not at the moment at least not that i'm aware of i've been pretty lazy as of recent though but thankyou for the reminder i should probably get on top of that, same goal still applies though" He playfully patted Cross on the head" Gonna make my boy here a death scythe in no time of course can't let him down now can I"

She nodded and idly wondered how hes going to do that with no mission to capture Kishin Eggs.

"You know what...honestly i've lost count i believe Cross keeps track of that i just kick asses and move on i think im a bit to rash for my own good ya know. But good thing is we lucked out we already have a witch soul so i'm not worried about looking for one and get my ass beaten*cough* which wouldn't happen anyway.....ya know since im cool and all"

She rolled her eyes a bit with a smirk, the Miester is supposed to keep track of those things usually, But when she heard they already got a witch's soul, her eyes widened. 'How is that possible? Why go after one before the first 99 souls.' A thousand questions popped into her head in curiosity, and a little envy, she wanted to become a Death Scythe soon, too.

"Well we have fifty-two souls right now.Oooo oooo ooo the other week me and Sorai beat up this really strong vampire. It turns out the he was a Kishin egg so I got to eat it. It tasted like crap though..." Said Cross.

"Well done" She said with a smile. "Yeah... some Kishin souls taste unpleasant." She said sticking her tongue out.

"But anyway how about you guys how close are you to whatever it is you wana do?" Sorai Asked.

She closed her eyes in thought. "About 5-10 more souls left for us, not including the witch soul." She said proudly.

"You guys don't have to worry about not getting the good missions. I've already reserved all the good missions for me and Sorai. I reserved like four or five of really good one's for you and whats his face too Ly." Cross added

Ly smiled, she had to admit, she had a weakness for younger kids, its the motherly instinct in her she tells her self.(That she will never ever, ever admit to anyone.) "Well then thank you Cross, that will be very helpful." She said in a normal tone.

"Yo, we should start getting to class. Hurry up and move slave" Cross said in a playful tone.

"Slave?? You said slave??"

Her eyes quickly darted to the uninvited person who entered their conversation. She was caught off guard though, when she saw just armor floating in the air. She was eying it... or him... wearily, with a bit of hostility and no trust towards it. It never pays to be trusting to strangers.
She wasn't to shocked by the appearance, since there ARE Zombies for teachers and a talking God of black matter, it wasn't uncommon in Shibusen. Then again, there was that nurse who was a witch in this school.. So she took it to heart not to trust someone off the bat. She quickly got into guard, ready to turn her hands into a Crescent scythe blade in a second while Cross bombarded it/him with questions.

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!?!?!? Who kid I gotta admit I've known ya less than long and you just are rude as hell,

She thought that telling someone to STFU is kinda rude as well, instead of just asking him to calm down... She kept her mouth shut though. Not wanting to provoke this... Creature..?

"I want your soul." Seru moved closer. "Give it. To. ME!!!!"

Her body tensed, ready to take action at any second, looking him over and assessing how to subdue him... to bad she couldn't think of anything, she cursed under her breath.
Thankfully Sorai stepped in and shielded his partner. She still kept a sharp eye on the armors movements though, It's never smart to let your guard down. She was hoping she didn't have to take on this guy without Jerome.

[Ubiquity]

"Hold up, did you just touch me??" Seru moved not, but continued to look the one whom now was about to get power raped. "Seru doesn't like to be touched by things uglier than it." There was just no time or what might happen here. There were more things there than it might be smart to get into a fight with, but Seru didn't care. The idea of something like that touching it was enough to make her act like a nuclear bomb. He was just in thought at the time.

The armor shifted only a bit to the left, before, playing a repeat of what Sorai quirked up before.....Ha thats funny, only way your getting to him is through me and I'm not about to let that happen you see I'm his guardian, no one.......NO ONE! Threatens my boy when im around ya got that bub" This time however the voice was womanly as another word got muttered activating Seru into dangerous action.

If Sorai had of been more rash, he would be better off. "Too bad for you though." He got slammed away by more or less raw strength from Seru's chest where he touched it. The hit was nothing to look down upon.

"None of you bitches are ready, but come on." The hall caught on fire, obviously due to another word Seru said to itself. They seemed to live and sought Cross and the other present there immediately.
