Eclipse
A/N: Hello! It has been over a year now since I have last posted any new fanfictions or chapters. Now there is a reason for that. School has been killing me and I felt like my English could be way more improved than it was before. So now with my new skills and better grammar, so have I returned to the world of fanfiction to release ALL of my sparkling new ideas! Also my pen name has changed, so please check my profile if you wonder who I was before!
Now with that out of the way, I would like to present to you my new story: Eclipse!
It is centered about two OCs of mine and the first chapter will mostly be like an introduction to them. The story follows the manga so if you have NOT read the Soul Eater manga, then you might be confused while the story progresses! The story will start at the beginning of Soul Eater, somewhere around episode 4-5. But enough about the information, time for the story to begin!
Disclaimer: Ladaur does not own Soul Eater in any shape or form. She does only own the two OCs which will be introduced in this chapter!
Chapter 0: The DWMA days – The too relaxed Meister and her extreme Weapon?
The United States, Nevada, Death City. Time: 6:36 am.
The sun is starting to rise over the desert town of Death City. You can hear how the city starts to become alive for another day. We turn our attention to the center of the city; The Death Weapon Meister Academy, or DWMA for short. Standing high above the city grounds, this symmetrical building of art is really something to behold. And on the grand stairs up to this building, we turn our attention to two young girls ascending.
The first one is the younger one of the pair. She is fourteen years old and about 162 cm tall. She has forest-green hair that goes down just above her shoulders. The hair is uneven at the tips and she has uneven bangs down to just above her eyebrows. She has soft sky-blue eyes (imagine Maka´s eyes but sky-blue.) She is wearing a white blouse with a red tie, a matching red skirt just above her knees and white knee-socks followed by a pair of black female dress-shoes. She is kind of average weight, her bust a little too large than normal, but she don´t mind it that much. She is the meister of the pair.
Her weapon partner right beside her is older than her. She is seventeen years old and about 174 cm. She has baby-pink hair that goes further down her back, almost to her hips. Her hair is asymmetrical, with her right side covering her eye and going down her bust, rather than back. And her left side is tucked behind her ear and goes down her back. Her eyes are more a sharp pair of onyx-black. She is wearing a denim jacket with a black t-shirt under with the text print; "Too fabulous for you". She also wears an old pair of tight jeans that have some visible ripped holes on her knees. And to finish it off she wears a pair of brown combat boots.
The pair just reaches the top of the stairs when the time strikes 6:40 am, meaning they had 20 more minutes to prepare before the first lesson of the day. However one of them has other plans.
"Nhhggh. Why can´t I just skip this lesson and sleep some more?" The weapon asked her meister as they walked across the courtyard into the school building, with her stretching her arms.
"Melody, you know very well that we can´t just skip classes for sleep. If we would do that then what is the point of being here?" The meister responded, a tad annoyed at her partner, who is now known as Melody.
"Aww but come on Elina! You and I both know that we are already ahead of our EAT class, so why bother studying? Why can we just not let the rest of our class catch up to us?" Melody responded, yawning to signal that she was in fact, tired.
"Just because we got the most kishin souls collected right now, does that not mean that we are the most knowledgeable in our class. Besides Maka and Soul had the most souls collected until recently." Elina said, stopping right outside her locker to grab the materials needed for the class.
"Oh yeah! They kind of blew their chance away of becoming a Death Scythe eh?" Melody grinned, putting her hands behind her back.
"That is not a laughing matter Melody!" Elina said, closing her locker with some force and turning around to her partner.
"Oh sorry sorry! But I can´t help but think about it. I mean, I would be devastated if we accidentally collected the soul of a fake witch, having to start over." Melody stated, waving her arms around to sound worried.
"Well next time, how about you don´t say such things aloud? Ok?" Elina sighed, giving Melody a small smile before walking down the hallway, Melody following right behind.
"Hah, you are always to gullible Elina! No wonder I ended up being your partner." Melody grinned.
The pair enters the classroom when the time hits 6:54, another six minutes to spare. They take their seats and chat about their last mission before their teacher enters the classroom. The teacher is wearing a camo uniform, bandages all over her body and face. This catches the students attention as the teacher stands in the middle. It is no other than Nyugus.
"Alright students, you all have heard about the accident your old teacher Sid had?" Nyugus asked, getting nods and some mumbling as response. "Well I am here to take over his classes until further notice. So if you all would be kind to open up your books and turn to page 154."
The class goes by quickly and before they all knew it, the class had ended. Everyone was leaving the classroom, but some stay behind, including Elina and Melody.
"Hey Elina, have you heard some of the rumors the others in our class are spreading?" Melody asked, brushing her hair with her fingers.
"Hmm? No. What about it?" Elina responded, closing her book she was taking notes in, turning her attention to the girl beside her.
"Have you heard? Maka, Blackstar and their partners are out on a "special" mission, and if they fail that mission, then they will be EXPELLED!" Melody said, shouting at the word expelled, causing Elina to flinch.
"R-really? I am worried about them now." Elina gasped, widening her eyes, starring at her partner.
"And that´s not all! There is also rumors that the grim reapers very own son, has taken a couple of the high-level mission, completing them, and that he is now going to enroll into the academy!" Melody said excited. "I really wonder how he looks! He might be someone very handsome, or really kind!"
"Or someone very annoying and unlikeable." Elina responded, crushing Melody's fan girl moment.
"Why do you always intend to be very cautious all the time?" Melody sighed. "Why can´t you just relax and enjoy life! Like be out with cute boys, go eat some fancy food and party with lots of friends!"
"Well. I am enjoying my life thank you very much. I don´t need boys around me, the food we cook at home is enough and watching TV while eating ice-cream is my kind of partying." Elina responded, walking down towards the exit. A loud "Wait on me!" was sounded behind her as Melody managed to catch up to her.
They went down the main hallway, passing the huge mission board in the middle. They notice a large crowd of students, mostly girls, standing in front of a particular mission. Elina and Melody stop behind the crowd, taking a peek at what they are looking at. The mission that was in the spotlight was the Pyramid of Anubis mission. It had a large completed mark on it, signaling that the mission was accomplished.
"Wow! I really wonder who managed to defeat the kishin!" a girl in the crowd said.
"They must be really strong!" another girl said in amazed.
"I heard rumors that the one who took this mission is the grim reapers very own son!" a guy in the crowd whispered to his friend next to him.
"Wow really? Does Lord Death really have a son?" the friend whispered back.
Elina got bored of the situation and decided to continue forward, leaving Melody behind for a few seconds, letting her finish fangirling before she realized that her partner had vanished and ran after Elina. The day continued on as the sunset arrives. As the students leave the school, Elina and Melody walked down the street to their home. Melody was walking a bit behind Elina, yawning as she is exhausted after the long day of school. Elina was simply walking, minding her own business. They enter the shopping district of the city when Elina abruptly stops, causing Melody to walk right into her.
"Hey?!" Melody grunted, a tad annoyed at her partners sudden stop.
"Shhhhh! Be quiet!" Elina whispered sharply, observing the environment. "We got company, turn into your weapon."
"Huh? Oh alright, I trust you, partner." Melody smirked, jumping up into the air, dissolving into a green light.
The light shifts shape, dancing in the air gracefully before landing on the right shoulder of the meister. Elina takes hold of the light as it vanishes, revealing the form of a machinegun. The machinegun was a beautiful shade of silver and metal, with engraved details on the gun pipes and handle. A leather strap was attached to the middle, going over Elina´s shoulder to the other side, attached to the same spot at the other side, to keep balance more easily. A handle was on top of the machinegun, right at the line between the gun pipes and the machinery itself, which Elina held her left hand on. This was so she could aim and turn quickly into different angles. Her right hand was laying behind the handle, resting on the side of the machinegun. Under her right hand was the trigger, customized so that it was easily to pull and manage, while being on the run or in the air.
"Alright, so where is the dude?" Melody asked.
"Right there." Elina responded, nodding her head towards a couple of large containers.
Time: 5:54 pm.
Behind the containers you can hear the sound of something being devoured. Loud screeches and grunts were heard as a dark shadow reveals itself from behind. It is a half human, half wolf hybrid. It has the human body, with large arms, filled with blood-filled fur. The hands were giant claws, dripping with fresh blood. It had male human legs, followed lastly by the head of a black wolf, drool dripping from its mouth. It was no other than a kishin. It turns its head towards Elina, staring into her fierce eyes before charging towards her with a roar.
"Alright, let´s do this Melody!" Elina shouted, aiming the machinegun towards the kishin, pulling the trigger.
A barrage of bullets was sent flying towards the kishin, who used its giant claws to shield itself. Elina sprinted to the right, trying to get around the kishin before its defense went down. The kishin was smart however, and quickly turned around, slicing its left arm in the air, sending nails towards her. Elina jumped up on one of the containers to avoid the attack. She then proceeded to fire more bullets, the kishin still blocking with its claws. Elina was preparing to fire another barrage when all of the sudden a young woman's voice was heard.
"I-I-I can´t believe that it got dark so quickly! Maybe I should have not went to buy some new shoes at the last minute." The woman´s voice was shaking, from being scared of the dark.
The kishin turned its attention towards the source, a loud scream resonating from the woman at the side. The woman froze in horror, her dark-blue eyes staring at the kishin in front of her.
"A-A—A-A KISHIN! Why is there a kishin right here?!" the woman shouted, taking a step back.
This only attracted the kishin more. This gave Elina the opportunity to aim the back of the kishin. The next barrage was fired, flying towards the kishins back. The kishin falls down to the ground in agonizing pain as his body dissolves into the red kishin soul, silently floating. Elina walks towards the soul as the Melody turns back into her human form. Elina picks up the soul, handing it over to Melody, who gladly accepts it, swallowing it with her sharp teeth.
"Wow! I never saw you guys over there! You must be from DWMA!" the woman walked towards them, smiling once she stood in front of them. She was not wearing that much, only a white t-shirt with simple jeans and sneakers, her long blonde hair loose on her shoulders.
"Well yes we are, my name is Elina, and this is my partner Melody." Elina introduced herself, pointing towards Melody when she mentioned her name. Melody simply grinned and waved her hand towards her.
"Nice to meet you both! My name is Elizabeth, you may just call me Liz!" Liz said and added; "But I never imagined that kishins would run loose in Death City, I thought it would be nothing more than a simple stroll home."
"Heh, we both were surprised too!" Melody smirked, poking Elina before adding; "But my partner saw through it all and was excellent!"
"Oh please Melody." Elina sighed.
"Heh, I can see how you two really work together. Anyway I got to run back home before my sister and friend starts worrying, nice meeting you both!" Liz said before running off towards one of the main streets.
"Well that was my 34th kishin egg out of 99! Let´s keep this going Elina!" Melody said, throwing her hand high into the air, doing a superman pose.
"Mhm. Well we still got a long way to go. We might as well take it slow." Elina smiled before walking towards their home.
"Hey! Why slow, let´s go fast so that I can become a death scythe faster!" Melody pouted, running after Elina.
And as this chapter turns to a close, we see a glimpse of what's to come in the future…
We enter the secret lair of a unknown person, the room is not lit and it looks like some kind of a sealed throne, with a sleeping male on it. We zoom in on his eyes as they slowly open, revealing a glowing orb of violet…
"Hey, Elina. Is that Liz over there with that kid?"
"Oh, it is! I never knew she was a weapon! She is going to enroll here?"
"Looks like it, wait she is going to start in our class?!"
"Wow really! I wonder who the other two is though."
"Wait, I recognize those lines… It´s Lord Death´s son!"
"Wait really!? She is the weapon partner of the grim reaper!?"
"It´s insane! And look Soul and Blackstar try to challenge him!"
"Oh man, I feel sorry for that kid."
"You mean THE kid or Blackstar?"
"W-what are you trying to say!?"
Chapter 1: Death the kid enters the battle – Will this be an eventful encounter?
"I know you must like watching men fight each other while I am not watching."
"UGH Melody I do NOT do such things! Just leave me alone!"
"Heh, so easy to annoy."
