The New Kid in town
"...I...Hate...My...Life..."A boy with light blonde hair wearing a navy blue blazer with a white button up shirt underneath and black jeans trudged through the desert on his way to Death City miles ahead of him."This...Better...Be...Worth...It..."The boy kept walking and looked at the sun."I...Hate...The...Heat...It...Looks...Like...The...Sun...Is...Laughing...At...Me..."
"Finally made it...need water..."The boy walked up to Death City and looked up to see how big it looked."Man...Can't get a break..."He walked up the steps into Death City and walked to the DWMA grumbling all the way.
"Hm...Oh you're the new student Chase Underwood correct?"Death turned around from his mirror to see Chase walk in and fall face first in front of him.
"Yes...can I get a glass of water? There's a heat wave outside and I feel like a fucking dinner fresh out of the oven."Death turned around and handed Chase a water bottle that he graciously accepted and drank without even taking a breath."Thank you."
"Anyways so Chase I heard you're a pretty good meister. Is that correct?"
"Anything that requires one arm like a sword or something I can throw."
"I see...knives?"
"Just a smaller version of a sword I can use one no sweat."
"Throwing stars?"
"Sir these are really specific. Care to explain please."
"It's hard to explain."
"Sir I walked through a desert and barely avoided scorpions and Rattlesnakes to get here. Tell me please."
"Okay. I have a Meister and Weapon partner called Black*Star and Tsubaki. They recently had a falling out and requested new partners. I found one for Black*Star and when I saw you I knew you'd be perfect for Tsubaki."
"How so sir?"
"I took a look at your soul when you came in. Perfect match with hers."
"Sir I don't think I'm the right guy for the job, most of my old weapons couldn't handle me."
"Well give Tsubaki a chance. She's a nice girl so give it a shot."
"So if we make an incision here-Oh you must be Chase."Stein was dissecting a Monitor Lizard making most of the female population in the class squeamish along with some males that couldn't stand the sight of the lizard. He stopped the knife halfway through the stomach as Chase walked in and stood still looking at the huge lizard with a knife halfway through it.
"Yes...uh can you tell me why there's something the size of me sitting on your table and you have a knife in it's belly?"Chase pointed his finger up and down making Stein chuckle.
"It's a simple dissection to see what makes this creature so interesting."Stein's eyes were covered by glare from the light sending a chill down Chase's back.
"Okay then. I'm going to go sit down."Chase gulped and found an empty seat and immediately sat there.
"One drop from here and it's a bye bye."Chase looked over the rail of the balcony after school and saw the distance to reach the ground."Why did I agree to this?"Chase gulped and sighed before turning around to see Black*Star on the roof of a tower behind him."That kid's gonna die. OH CRAP!"Chase's eyes widened watching him slip and fall. He ran up to him as he landed on his head on the ground getting it jammed in."Dude are you alright?"
"MMMFMM!"
"Wait gimme a sec."
"MMMFMFMMM!"
"Alright then, sorry about this. Shit this gonna be difficult."Chase hit the back of Black*Star's neck knocking him out. He then grabbed him by the neck and by the back of his shirt and sighed.
"Alright. Quick and...EASY!"Chase ripped Black*Star's head out of the ground and put him sitting up on the wall."Hey wake up."Chase threw some water on Black*Star's face immediately waking him up.
"What happened?"
"You fell from up there and got your head stuck in the ground."
"And you pulled me out?"
"Was I not supposed to? Wait don't I have class with you?"
"Oh yeah you're the new kid. Chase right?"
"Yeah uh..."
"Oh yeah. I'M THE ALMIGHTY BLACK*STAR! THE GREATEST ASSASSIN TO EVER LIVE!"
"Since when the hell does Loud and Assassin mix together?"Chase winced covering his ears while Black*Star laughed louder than he could've imagined.
"Apparently for him it does."Chase turned around to see Maka and Soul walking up to them."Hi Chase, I'm Maka and this is Soul."
"Hey. Does he have an off switch or should I give him one?"
"THE MIGHTY BLACK*STAR DOES NOT HAVE AN OFF SWITCH FOR HE IS THE-"
"Give him one please."Chase grabbed a rock and slammed it on Black*Star's head making him be quiet and hold that part of his head in pain.
"Finally. Hey Black*Star have you seen Tsubaki around?"
"No. I haven't seen her since class ended. And why should I care anyway?"
"What does that mean jackass?"
"Apparently I'm too loud, stubborn, and dumb to care what happens to her."
"She's still your friend you asshole!"
"I don't need a bitch like her as my friend if I have you already!"
"This is gonna be awkward, so I'm gonna go. See you around."Chase fist bumped Soul and walked away from the arguing Maka and Black*Star.
"Getting dark huh?"Chase walked through Death City and looked up at the sky especially the moon. He began to run seeing a shadow run above him."Gotta check that out. Been a while so worth a shot to try it."Chase ran through an alleyway and climbed onto a roof by jumping off a crate on to a dumpster then up the wall using windows as ledges to grab and put his feet on."HEY!"He turned to see on the other side of the roof was the shadow making it look at him and begin to run from roof to roof."STOP!"Chase began to follow it doing the same thing it was until he jumped too early and fell off. The saw it jump off the roof it was on and towards a walking Tsubaki."Watch out!"Chase tackled her out of the way surprising her and making the shadow go into a wall instead.
"Chase?"
"What's up?"Chase helped her up as they looked at the shadow for it to growl at them, especially at Chase."Any idea what the hell that thing is?"
"Not a clue. WATCH OUT!"This time Tsubaki saved his life by pushing him out of the way and moving out of the way herself as the shadow threw a Kunai tied to a chain at them and growl seeing it missed.
"Thanks. You know I never got your name."Chase ran at the shadowy figure and slid to dodge the Kunai being thrown at him again.
"Tsubaki."
"Wait..."Chase grabbed the Kunai and used it to tie the figure to a light pole.
"What?"
"You're her?"
"Is your little talk about to end?"The two turned to look at the figure for it to take off it's black hood to reveal a ghostly skull and charged at them. Suddenly he was slammed into a wall again by Chase grabbing a trash can lid and using it to hit it sideways.
"Wow that's a perfect dent."Chase looked at the lid to see a perfect mold of the head before throwing it away."What are you?"Both of them walked towards the figure as it lifted its head to look at them.
"I am a Wraith. A being taken unfairly from this world ready to take my revenge."The Wraith then jumped on Chase pinning him down as a green light held Tsubaki in place."Your soul...is mine."The Wraith opened its mouth for Chase's eyes to turn white and his body began to lose all his color. Right as his soul began to appear in his chest, he grabbed a metal bar and slammed it on the Wraith's head making it stop and give him a chance to kick it off him.
"God. Tsubaki change into a weapon. Any weapon please."
"Why? You probably won't be able to use me."
"Yes I will. Because we're partners so let's go!"Chase grabbed Tsubaki's hand making her blush then glow and turn into her Chain Scythe form."Nice."
"GIMME YOUR SOUL!"The Wraith looked at Chase and flew towards him making the meister dodged. Only bad part was that he managed to cut into Chase's arm using the Kunai coming from its sleeve.
"Chase are you alright."
"I'm fine Tsubaki it's a small cut."Chase nodded at the image of Tsubaki that appeared on the blade before looking at the Wraith in shock.
"Even a small portion will be enough to maintain a human form."The Wraith chuckled before turning into a copy of Chase although his clothes were black and grey and same with his hair and eyes.
"What the?"
"I NEED MORE!"Wraith Chase ran towards the real Chase this time with two Kunais in his hands making him slide in between his legs and tie Tsubaki to his ankles.
"Hey slippy get up."Chase yanked the chain tripping the Wraith version of himself and turn Tsubaki into her Enchanted Sword form."Wow now that's incredible."
"What is?"
"That you can turn into these amazing weapons."Chase smiled at Tsubaki making her hide a small blush. However it was cut short by a Kunai being thrown at him and barely dodged it cutting his cheek. But another one was thrown stabbing Chase in the shoulder making him yell in pain."AH FUCK!"
"Chase are you alright?!"
"OTHER THAN THE GODDAMN KUNAI IN MY SHOULDER NEARING MY SKELETON I'M FINE!"
"Ah more blood."Wraith Chase laughed before he felt himself being pulled towards Chase.
"YOU WANNA PLAY MOTHERFUCKER! THEN WE'RE GONNA PLAY! HERE'S A FAVORITE: TUG-O-WAR AND GUESS WHAT, I'M IN THE LEAD!"Chase gave one huge pull making his copy slip and slide towards him.
"Chase can you calm down?"
"RIGHT AFTER I TEAR HIS HEAD OFF!"Chase kicked his copy's head making him release the weapons in his hands and allow Chase to take them as he pulled the one in his shoulder out. He then ripped the chains off the end of each of the Kunais and looked with eyes full of blood lust at the Wraith version of himself."Hey!"His copy stood up to see Chase running towards him and began to slash his chest and back turning the cuts into decayed pieces of skin with spots of bones."HEADS UP!"Chase finished off his copy by slashing his head off and cut it in half. He watched as the skin immediately decayed itself and the skeleton underneath shattered."That was...painful..."Chase fell to his knees as the broken apart skeleton became a green soul. As he fell forward he felt something stop him and saw a worried Tsubaki holding him up."Thank you...I need to lie down after this."Chase gave a small grin and chuckle as Tsubaki absorbed the soul making her jolt and send a chill down her spine.
"Don't worry. Come on I'll take you to the Dispensary."Tsubaki helped Chase up and both of them walked to the DWMA.
"Hm?"Chase woke up in a hospital bed with his chest bandaged up, along with his arm and a bandage on his cheek."We actually made it?"Chase felt a hand on his and heard a light snore and saw Tsubaki sleeping in a chair next to his bed."That's adorable, well I won't disturb her. I can barely move."Chase closed his eyes gripping Tsubaki's hand as he dozed off again making her give a small smile as she slept.
