Sid's pov.
South America
Nygus was with the other medics, helping patch up some of the civillians caught in the earthquake who got hurt as I and the others were searching through the pile of rubble.
I dug around the piles of rubble for anything that was still in good condition to take back Lord Death, a museum, or a library. Just anywhere where the objects could be relocated and not have to waste away in the garbage.
This pile of rubble used to be the worlds oldest, and most famous library. It was famous because it was so old, no one knew who made it, people had theories but none were proven or disproven as of yet. A freak earthquake had destroyed the library and burying everything in stone and wood.
Lord Death said it held some important things in it. That is why he had sent myself and other members of the DWMA to scavange anything in good condition.
Nygus who was now helping in the dig after patching everyone else up, ran up to me. "Sid!" She exclaimed holding up a book that looked like it was older then the Grim Times, "I think you should see this," She said.
I gingerly took the book from her, making sure to be careful as to not damage it and opened to the page she had marked.
Just by reading the first line I could already tell this was very bad.
The immortal weapon, awaits, the power to destroy the world lies within.
This was something Lord Death had to see. After all, this book was a historic book, meaning the weapon was very possibly real.
Kidd's pov
Death Room
Father and I were having a normal conversation about my training as a Grim Reaper when Sid, who looked slightly paniced, came in and slammed a very old book in Fathers hand demanding he read the marked page
So now here I was, standing behind father as he read the page out loud for everyone to hear.
Liz and Patty were confused, not understanding what it all meant, or they were possibly refusing to understand it. What father read wasn't exactly a 'Great for Mankind' thing, it was talking about the destruction of all of life.
Death put the book down and rubbed his chin. "Hmm, this is a problem, but why does this weapon sound so familiar..." He said to himself, "Sid, mind going to the library, fourth level, there should be a book called the The Three, can you bring it to me?" He asked.
Sid nodded and walked out.
I turned to father, "Father, what's going on?" I demanded.
Death just picked up a tea cup, "Thats what I'm sending Sid to go do," He said, "That book he's going to get might clear some things up," He said and handed me a cup.
I accepted it and took a drink. After a few minutes Sid came back with an old leather bound book and handed it to Lord Death who nodded a thanks and flipped through pages.
"Ah hah!"
He slammed the book down and pointed to a drawing of a scythe with a clock at the bottom of the staff and a with a jagged edge of the blade. "The immortal weapon! Also known as the Scythe of Time!" Shinigami said proudly.
"The Scythe of Time?" I asked, the name didn't ring any bells, but he figured he should have heard of it somewhere before considering it was probably not a good thing and very dangerous if it was called the Immortal Weapon and was probably very powerful.
Father nodded. "The oldest and most dangerous thing in the world! Was the original magical weapon." He said nodding his head, "It's said to have a power that could kill everyone in the world, god and human, kishin and witch," he said in a cheery sing song tone.
I didn't understand why would sound so cheerful about this. A weapon that could kill any living creature no matter what they were? I couldn't think of any words to describe that!
"I always though the scythe was a myth! But if what this books says is true then it must be real! It's said it could stop time around it." He said smiling. "The user of it would be able to stop time and do what ever they want and not get caught!" He said.
Control over time? That is incredible power for a scythe, not even a god or a witch could do that! Was it possibly a magic tool?
No if what father was saying was correct, then this thing was older then the magic tools by a long time.
"The weapon of the gods…." I said reading a line from the book he had previously slammed onto the table.
"So, what are you going to do about it?" Liz asked looking at it from over my shoulder. "You want us to go get it?...Destroy it?" She asked.
"Destroying it would probably be the best option, we don't know how many other people know about it." I decided, closing the book shut after reading the section on the Scythe of Time.
Father waved his hand in a frantic 'No!' gesture. "I don't want you guys to do anything about it!" He said. "It's rested without anyone finding it for hundreds, maybe thousands of years. I don't think anyone will find it."
"But it is a dangerous weapon! We should find it and make sure our enemies don't get there hands on it!" I argued "If our enemies get it they could destroy the world in a matter of seconds! It's better to destroy it now! Better safe then sorry right? This is not something we should be taking risks on, and not destroying it is a huge risk i don't want to take!"
"But if we bring the weapon here, we could pretty much put up a big sign saying 'Bad Guys! Come here and steal the Scythe of Time!" Death pointed out. "I think we are the only ones who know about it." He said.
"But father, it was in a LIBRARY! Ton's of people probably read it and know about the scythe!" I pointed out. "And as I said earlier! We don't know how many people read it! And if our enemies come to the DWMA, we'll defeat them, we'll destroy the scythe before it can be captured by them."
"Kidd, no one will find it! It's never been found, it's real but the weapon of the gods have never been found." Death said. "It's impossible, people have searched every inch of the world for it and came back unable to find it, more never came back at all."
Blackstar landed in the middle of them.
"If it's the weapons of the gods, then I, the one who will surpass the gods, shall find it!" BlackStar announced proudly, "Your god, Blackstar, will be able to find it easily with his awesomeness!" He declared.
"What? When did you get here?" I yelled glaring at BlackStar. "And no you are not going after the scyhte! A Weapon like this should be captured by a god not a human!"
Blackstar glared by at me, "I AM a god!" He said haughtily. "And I got here when you guys started talking about the weapon!" He yelled proudly.
"I will find it! I am the Greatest Man on Earth so I shall hold the Ultimate Weapon! It's only right!" He said proudly.
"So, you'll become the meister of the Scythe of Time?" Tsubaki said hestiantly.
Blackstar nodded, "Hell yeah! It will match me perfectly! It's as if the Scyhte and I were made for each other!" He bragged.
Tsubaki held back tears, figuring that Blackstar would ditch her if he got the scyhte and ran out of the Death Room. Blackstar didn't even notice who then recieved a Shinigami Chop from Death and wask knocked out.
"Father, you are making a big mistake, I will find the scythe and make sure the enemies don't get there hands on it whether you like it or not father, I am sorry I am disobeying you but you don't see the threat that scythe is." I said and walked off. I muttered that I would destroy the scythe.
"Wait Kidd!" Liz and Patty yelled and began to run after me.
I had to find the scythe fast! There was no way I was letting that idiot BlackStar hold the most powerful weapon in the world! He would accidentally destroy the world in seconds!
Makas pov
Maka and Souls apartment
"I BLACKSTAR SHALL WIELD THE SCYHTE OF TIME!" BlackStar yelled at the top of his lungs as he ran down the street. It gave me a headache, he just had to be running down the street I was on. I pulled out a dictonary from my bag and chucked it at Blackstars head knocking him down for a few minutes.
"What's that idiot blabbering about now?" I muttered.
"Something about him going to wield a scythe of time." Soul said offhandedly.
"Wait….the scythe of time….." I said confused and rummaged through my bag pulling out the books in there. I skimmed through them and found the right one. 'Ancient Myths' I skimmed through the contents and found it. "The Scythe of Time…"I breathed reading it.
It was supposed to be a myth! So what the hell! Why was BlackStar claiming he would get it?
I knew where i could get answers.
I ran to a mirror and called Lord Deaths number and he appeared on the mirror jumping happily. "Why hello Maka!" He greeted.
"Hello Lord Death. Why is BlackStar saying he will have the Scythe of Time?" I asked. "It's supposed to be a myth." I said.
"How did you know about the scythe?" Death asked confused and surprised that i knew about it.
"It's in the book 'Ancient Myths.'" I explained calmly. "It was written by Excalibur." I added.
"Oh, okay." Death said. " BlackStar overheard me talking to Kid, Liz, Patty, Sid, and Nygus about the Scythe of Time and how it is referred to sometimes as the Weapon of the Gods." Death started to explain.
"After hearing it was the weapon of the gods BlackStar declared he must have that weapon." He added cheerfully.
"Wait…so it really has all those powers mentioned in the books?" I asked and Death nodded.
"Great! Then I have to go find that scythe!" I yelled and ran into my room to get packed up. To actually find the legendary scythe and to actually WIELD it! That would be proof that it was real! A great achievement! I could work on research, find out where it got all that power, heck I could probably take down a witch without so much as breaking a sweat with that scythe! It would probably make me a better meister too and that means Soul would become a Death Scythe quicker!
"What are you talking about? A new scythe? I'm a scythe so why do you need a new one?" Soul asked annoyed and a little hurt as he walked in.
I didn't even look at him, "Because this one has the power that could help us a lot! AND I could learn so much from it! To wield a mythical scythe, thats a great feat isn't it Soul?" I said as I packed my clothes and a few thick books.
"So I aint doing that good of a job?" Soul spat in anger.
I looked at him, he didn't understand how this could help us? "No! Your doing a great job! But the Scythe of Time would be an amazing feat to acomplish, don't you understand?" I said getting a little angry myself at his 'its all about me' attitude about this.
"You know what? GO! Find the stupid scythe! But I'll also be looking for it!" Soul snapped and went to pack, jealousy coursing through his veins.
I growled. "What the hell is his problem? If I get the scythe it'll help the both of us!" I muttered as I continued to pack, when I was finished –I had even packed some food and got some money- I walked out of the house and started to walk out of Death City.
I would find the Scythe of Time and be the greatest Scythe Meister ever!
Kid
Gallows Mansion
"Kid!" Liz yelled making me stop. Her sister and she all were packed up for the journey, but they had a cold look in there eyes. "I am sorry Kid but Patty and I discussed this." Liz began.
"We are not going to help you find the scythe." Liz said startling me. "We are going to find it and find a use for it." She proclaimed shocking me.
"W-what?" I yelled in disbelief. "Are you really that selfish?" I yelled in anger. How could they decide to not help? And go after the scythe for themselves instead of destroying it? That was…just outrageous!
"You heard me Kid! We know you're probably going to destroy the scythe or do something where it won't work when you get your hands on it." Liz said calmly. "And we don't think that should happen to it! It's just a scythe! The power is probably just some old story that isn't true." She snapped.
"IT COULD KILL US ALL!" I screamed at her. "I WILL NOT ALLOW SUCH A WEAPON TO EXIST WHEN THE LIVES OF EVERY LIVING BEING ARE AT STAKE!" I yelled it was my duty as a death god to protect the lives of people, that meant I had to destroy it!
"That still doesn't give you the right to destroy a perfectly good weapon! It hasn't done anything wrong yet and in the right hands could be very usefull! It can't do anything unless someone uses it right? It's just a normal scythe nothing special! Its not even a weapon like Patty and I since it's existed before Weapons were made! It's just a scythe!" Liz snapped at me.
"Yeah!" Patty agreed cheerfully.
"Fine! I don't need you two anyway! I am a Shinigami! I can do this on my own!" I snapped and marched out the door.
