Lord Death's Dark Side

Chapter 1-Play Fight

CLANG! The sound reverberated through the air. It was soon joined by Maka Albarn and Soul Eater's shouts of victory. "No fair!" gasped meister Dimitri as he let go of his sword and fell to the ground. "That's one score for us, which makes it...14-0 to us!" laughed Soul. The sword glowed and became a 14 year-old girl with shoulder length, pine-green hair and sapphire eyes. "What the heck, Soul!" weapon Natalya shouted, helping her meister to his feet. "Geez, Maka! Couldn't you give a pair of rookies a break?" shouted a winded Dimitri, brushing his mahogany bangs out of his chocolate eyes. Maka just laughed and said playfully "That's why it's called 'practice' and not 'pity' ". "That's it!" said Natalya surveying the park and spotting Black Star and Tsubaki sitting next to Death the Kid, Liz, and Patty. "Get up, Black Star" she said forcefully, "You and Tsubaki are going to fight us." "Come on, Nate! I'm tired" whined Dimitri, standing up and taking a fighting stance. "And I'm too lazy" complained Black Star. "Oh, Black Star! We've got to help them practice! They just came to the DWMA, so we need to make sure they get caught up!" scolded Tsubaki, dragging Black Star to his feet as he muttered "I'm too big for these beginners."

Nate glowed and turned into a silver sword with a sapphire encrusted hilt and flew into her meister's hands. "Remember to use your soul wavelength" shouted Maka from the bench. "And make the battle symmetrical this time!" yelled Kid as Liz and Patty rolled their eyes. Dimitri's exhaustion melted away and he grasped the sword tightly, looking determined. "Tsubaki! Chain scythe mode!" Black Star ordered and Tsubaki obeyed with a grin. Black Star grabbed one scythe in one hand and twirled the other lazily. "I'm too big to be beaten!" he laughed and charged at Dimitri and Nate. The crossed chain-scythe met the sword in a shower of sparks and both meisters pushed their weapons together and Nate's face appeared in the blade. "You're going down, Black Star!" Dimitri suddenly kicked upward, knocking the chain-scythe out of Black Star's hand. He tried to slash at Black Star, but he was too fast. He ran backward in the blink of an eye, caught Tsubaki, and blocked Dimitri's move. He pulled away and retreated, Black Star pushing him back. When it looked like he was about to strike,Dimitri blocked the chain-scythe with one hand and placed one hand on his shoulder grinned as his hand glowed green and shocked Black Star away from him, onto the ground. Black Star kicked himself upward, unfazed. He swiped at them and tangled the sword with Tsubaki's chain. He grinned as Dimitri struggled to extricate Nate from the chain. Black Star became a blur of motion as he took of running, dragging his opponents with , Dimitri and Nate were dizzy and tired. "Pull yourself together, Dimitri!" Nate yelled and a hand reached out of the sword and slapped him lightly on his face. Dimitri shook his head and looked up at Black Star, who was watching him. He panted and stumbled forward as Black Star began to laugh. Then, as fast as lightning, Dimitri darted forward and placed the cool blade on his neck. Kid and Liz applauded in a sophisticated manner while Maka, Soul, Liz and Patty cheered and danced. Nate transformed back to a human, and Dimitri dusted off his jeans. "We finally scored!" yelled Nate, her voice jubilant.

"It's late,"said Kid, standing up and gazing at the yellow moon, which gave him a gruesome smile."WAIT!" shouted Nate, grabbing Kid's tie, "We haven't fought you yet!". "Alright! A fight! We'll stay up all night! We'll kick your butts with all our might!" yelled Patty and she transformed into a pistol with a pink glow. Liz shot an irritated look at Nate, then transformed, too. Kid caught both of them and faced Dimitri with a look that plainly said 'Are you sure you want to do this?'. Nate grinned at Dimitri and transformed, her blade gleaming. Dimitri charged at Kid, dodging bullets with ease. He was about to strike, when Kid caught the sword between Liz and Patty and twisted. Dimitri grunted as his arm was turned sideways, and his sword skittered to the ground As he reached for it' Kid kicked it away. Kid laughed, but then looked around. Nate had not slid down the middle of the park as he had intended, but had landed 3mm away! Kid dropped to his knees and banged his fists on the ground, screaming "Asymmetrical garbage! I'm a complete failure!" "Kid! He's getting away!" screamed Liz as Dimitri escaped Kid's grasp and was running towards Nate. By the time Kid got up and shot at them, Dimitri gad swooped down, grabbed Nate, and jumped in front of Kid. He ducked as Dimitri swung the sword, and knocked his legs out from under him. Dimitri fell, rolled to avoid a bullet, and used the sword to push himself up. He twirled around Kid and batted his hands with the flat part of his sword. As he knocked Liz and Patty from Kid's hands, he kicked Kid in the chest. Kid fell and the point of the sword was at his chest. "Well done!" said Kid as Dimitri lifted the sword and helped him up. The three weapons transformed and Maka said "Let's get something to eat.". "Yeah,"Soul said, rubbing his stomach "starving is not cool."As they walked to a restaurant, Soul and Nate began arguing. "We beat you at least twice!" Nate told Soul, who was shaking his head. "That was when Maka tripped and fell!" replied Soul indignantly"Because WE knocked you down in the first place!" Dimitri cut in. "That's still 14-1, which means we won," said Maka"so you two still need a lot of practice."

By the time Kid found a symmetrical restaurant, it was 8:30 and Black Star was getting crabby. "I'm too big to be waiting around for you, you O.C.D. freak! Let's eat!" he yelled, bursting through the door. As soon as they sat down at a table, a young waitress in a red mini-dress sauntered up to them. "What can I get for you, cutie?" she asked, winking at Soul. Maka stood up quickly, giving the waitress a death glare and forcing her to back away as she stammered apologies. "Just take our order!" growled Black Star. In a while, the food came and Black Star shoved his face in his plate of spaghetti. Kid began ripping the mushrooms and olives out of his pizza and arranging them symmetrically. "JUST EAT IT!" Nate commanded, shoveling her salad into her mouth."Yeah, Kid," said Liz "you need to let it go. It's getting late and there's school tomorrow." "Hey!" said Soul, suddenly, pointing across the restaurant, "There's Stein and Spirit! I wonder what they're doing here?". "Eating, of course!" laughed Dimitri. "You don't understand," said Maka, looking curious, "My dad HATES Stein." "Listen..." said Nate, her fork halfway to her mouth.

"...obtained the black blood somehow," Stein was saying, his dinner untouched. "But where would she find it?" asked Spirit, "Medusa has been dead for months and Crona said he went back and searched her hideout, but didn't find anything.". "Keep your voice down!" hissed Stein, looking directly at the students, "And besides, she has her ways.". "But we're not even sure she even exists yet," whispered Spirit, "Lord Death doesn't even know!". Stein stood up abruptly, saying, "We'll soon see who's right" as he left. Nate turned back to her friends with a grin. "Well,well,well...it seems we have some snooping to do!" she said,sneakily.
