Maka ran upstairs avoiding shouting a quick "I'm home" before she rushed into her room, shutting the door behind her, ignoring her father's shouts from the kitchen.
She jumped onto her bed, throwing off her shoes and a satchel she had carried over her shoulder, turning on the game system she had conveniently set up in her room, pulling some kind of glasses that were connected to the system, over her head.
"Hehe, I'm back DWMA." Maka smirked, suddenly appearing in Death City. Before she had appeared in this new world, she was wearing a white button-up shirt, a yellow vest, a green and white striped tie, a knee-length plaid skirt, and black school shoes, her ash-brown hair in pigtails that reached just a bit under her shoulders.
Now, she looked a bit different. She was now donned in a black turtleneck shirt that showed off her curves nicely, and a plaid skirt that came up to less than mid-thigh, showing off her long creamy legs. To finish off the look, she had a black trench coat that flared out from the waist and black combat boots with white buckles, black fingerless gloves covering the majority of her hands.
The pig-tailed girl's shoulders dropped abruptly at the site of all the pairs walking around. When I first signed into the game as a MEISTER I didn't think it would be this hard to find a WEAPON. I knew I should have chosen WEAPON instead! Then it would be way easier fighting on my own! Ugh, keep yourself together Maka!
Maka headed up the hundreds of stairs towards the academy, not exhausted unlike everybody else around her. Once inside, she headed towards the mission board, which consisted of a holographic board, the missions sorted into columns based on ranks.
These ranks are One-Star, Two-Star, and lastly, Three-Star, which are the most dangerous of missions.
Maka sighed, a pout forming on her lips, Right now I can only do One-Star missions... If only I had a WEAPON!
"HEY BOOKWORM! READY TO WORSHIP YOUR GOD?!"
Maka growled, gritting her teeth and clenching her fists, green eyes narrowed in anger. A thick, hardcover book shimmering into her hand. She raised her arm, eyes closed, and then she brought her arm down leg coming up as the book was released from her grip, landing in the skull of a blue-haired boy ten metres away from her.
"OOWWW! WHY WOULD YOU HIT YOUR GOD?! Oh right, it didn't hurt, HAHAHAAHA, forgot about that." The boy laughed loudly from his place on the ground, rubbing his head.
"I swear Black*Star..." Maka's eye twitched as she held up her fist in frustration.
"Anyway, apart from you disrespecting your god... Tsubaki and I were wondering if you wanted to come on a mission with us today. You know, form a party? I mean, it'll only be temporary, cause I know you still haven't found a weapon yet."
Maka sighed, her anger and frustration replaced by sadness and exhaustion, "Yeah, no luck so far with that. But yeah sure, I'll join you two, why not? "
Black*Star jumped back onto his feet, grinning, "Awesome! Let's go!"
It wasn't long until they had reached a dark alleyway not that far from the academy, where a girl was waiting for them. She was taller than both Black*Star and Maka, but only an inch taller than the blue-haired boy, and had her long, black hair in a high ponytail. (Black*Star and Tsubaki are wearing what they usually wear in the anime)
The girl seemed to brighten up at the sight of the pig-tailed meister, "Maka! I'm so glad you came!"
Maka laughed awkwardly, "Hey Tsubaki... yeah, I guess I had nothing else to do..."
Tsubaki's smile wavered as she attempted to reassure her friend, "But I'm sure you'll be able to do missions with your own partner soon!"
The black-haired girl rubbed her neck, bringing up the menu and requesting Maka to be in her party with Black*Star. The request popped up in front of Maka, and she accepted it with a tap of her finger.
Black*Star smirked, "Nice to have you on the team Maka. Tsubaki, is he gonna be here soon?"
Tsubaki nodded, her kind demeanor replaced with cute determination, "He should be appearing any second!"
Just as she finished saying it, a figure jumped from the roof above them to the roof opposite. As if they were ninjas, Black*Star, Tsubaki and Maka jumped from the ground onto the roof with ease.
They abruptly broke into a run after the dark figure, Maka being the one closest to him. Even in the real world, Maka was a brilliant runner, so for the last couple of weeks that she had been playing DWMA online, she had been boosting up her speed level. She wasn't one to focus on strength, Maka, being the bookworm she was, knew that the right level of speed could lend a hit strength, even in the gaming world.
"Tsubaki, transform!" The bluenette shouted at his weapon, and her form glowed, morphing into a chain scythe that landed in his hands.
Black*Star leaped into the air, holding one blade while he threw the other at the mysterious figure.
The figure simply leaned to the side, dodging the blade, but Black*Star grabbed the chain, making the blade rear back towards him. He caught it with his free hand, "Maka!"
"On it!" The female meister leaped over the man, landing in front of him, making him slide to a halt. He was completely made up of darkness, his eyes glowing a bright red.
Maka suddenly dropped to the ground, one hand holding her weight, as her long leg swept his own. He jumped up, but Maka simply spun her legs so she was spinning in a handstand, pushing herself from the ground, so her feet smashed into his face.
While he was falling, Black*Star yelled, 'Tsubaki, Shuriken Mode!" The chain scythe morphed into a shuriken that was almost a metre in length, and he launched it at the man.
As the shuriken made contact with the man, the darkness that was his body split in two, and a red ball of light took its place.
Tsubaki transformed into her human form mid-air, landing not a metre away from Maka. She walked over to the light, taking it gently in her hands, sucking it into her mouth and swallowing it slowly.
"Good job Tsubaki!" Black*Star grinned like an idiot, high-fiving his partner.
Souls, the physical representation of life in DWMA online. All players have blue souls, while the monsters in-game, the pre-kishin, have red souls. These particular souls have the ability to boost the levels of only a WEAPON. For us meisters, if we don't have a weapon of our own, we can trade it for in-game money, otherwise, they aren't of much worth.
Little did Maka know, somebody was watching her, and as they smirked, they said one word, "Cool."
