My Story

Unlike most people's stories mine actually went pretty well up until this point. I had lots of friends, I was rather popular, and my band was starting to catch on to the big producers… Yep life was good. Until that day… We were doing a big show at a local joint when it happened. Unbeknownst to me and most other people, there was a small red dot on my head.

When I heard the sound I instantly reacted. I ran. Several of my band mates were killed before I was finally shot. I fell to the ground, breathing heavily. A large, hooded, figure stood over me and just before he finished me off, I saw a grin on his face. "Y…You… Monster…." I managed to groan out. And then, just like that, it was over.

I awoke in the middle of Scramble Crossing. I had a small pin on my chest and for some reason nobody would look at me. "Hey!" I shouted out. But no one turned. Nobody so much as glanced in my direction. Several people walked right through me. "WHAT'S GOING ON!?" I yelled. But again, nobody even noticed. All of a sudden weird frogs started flying out of nowhere and attacking me. "What the hell?!" I said as one latched onto me and kicked me in the face, knocking me down. I instinctively ran. They chased after.

I saw a guy who was about 3 years older than me walk casually towards me toting a large, black, samurai sword. 'Oh that's just great.' I thought.

"You." He said coldly. 'Me?' I wondered. I stopped in front of him. I now saw that he was wearing a small pair of sunglasses, baggy tan cargo pants and a long sleeved blue and grey striped shirt. His hair was jet black and hung down to his shoulders, and his face was newly shaven. "Form a pact with me quick!" He said.

"A pact?" The frogs drew ever closer. "Whatever alright!" I exclaimed. I had a strange sensation for a moment.

"Alright then. Need an explanation?"

"EXPLANATION?!" I yelled. "WHAT ABOUT THE DAMN FROGS?! THEY'RE GOING TO…" I looked over and the frogs were now scarce and barely dared to come closer.

"Here." He said, tossing me a pin with a guitar on it with little sound waves coming out. "I can't use it, maybe you can." He said. "Oh by the way, you can call me Rai." 'Um OK?' I thought. Now really wasn't the time for introductions. As the frogs slowly drew closer Rai ran at them full speed, destroying them almost instantly using both his sword, and what looked like lightning and fire. A frog jumped at me and I held out the pin and yelled as loud as I could. The frog evaporated just before it hit me.

'Whoa.' My mouth was slightly open due to what I had just done. Soon through our combined efforts we eradicated all the frogs. I was beat. I sat on a nearby bench and leaned back as far as I could. Rai sat down next to me. "Look kid I can tell you're confused so let me explain a few things… He explained everything. About the Noise, the Game, the Reapers, the Players, Psyches and Pins, EVERYTHING. I almost couldn't handle it all at once.

I took out a cigarette and lit it.

"Aren't you a little young to be smoking?"

"Just back off man." I said. I thought about what he had said.. "Wait." I said. "If they were supposed to take you most precious thing, then what did they take from me?" I asked.

"Beats me." He said blandly. "By the way, what's your name?"

"Well. Before we go any further, I really should tell you about myself." I said. "My name is Shinji but call me Slash."

"Slash?" He said with a confused look.

"It's what my friends call me. They named it after a popular American guitar player." I explained. "Anyhow, back when I was alive I had a popular band called BitterSweet. I also had a lot of friends. I like music a lot and I like to change with the trends." I basically told him my entire personality. In truth I probably didn't look the part. I looked fairly normal. I stood there with dark blue jeans, and a grey sleeveless hoodie with black skulls on it. My hair was cherry red and pulled back into a ponytail with a few stray hairs in my face. My skin was halfway between pale and normal. "Say," I began.

"Hmm?"

"So if we're supposed to be getting a mission then…" Speak of the devil. I got a text: Reach Towa Records. You have 30 minutes. Fail, and face erasure. –The Reapers. "Damn."

"What's wrong Towa records is a ways away from here. Let's go!" I said. We ran towards the direction of Towa Records until I hit what seemed to be an invisible wall. "Ow, that really hurt." I said rubbing my face. While Rai went to speak to a man wearing a red hoodie who was standing next to the wall. He walked back over to me.

"We need to take out some noise."

"Why?" I asked stupidly.

"To get past this wall." Rai told me. I nodded, then started to scan the area. I hand-picked a few noise and we got started. As usual Rai was chopping through them much faster than me. When we were done the man in the red hoodie mumbled something and walked away. Rai proceeded to walk right past where the wall was. I followed.

"Hey Rai, if we can be seen in some shops than, do you have some extra yen?"

"What for?" He asked.

"Well, I think a guitar would increase the power of my pin." I tried to explain.

"Well you're awfully sharp aren't you?" He said playfully. "Well we'll see."

"Cool." I said. Maybe I had a chance. Maybe I had a friend. Whatever the case, I intend to win.

Well technically this is my second Fanfic but my first about TWEWY and really my first pretty good one I think. Please Read and Review.
