The name's Ray. Ray Valiant. Today I was on my way to the scene of the crime. Some crazy bastard had nearly destroyed it, and I already had a growing suspicion of who it was. Now I know what you're thinking, what's a guy like me workin' for people like this? Well let me tell you, my father would never approve of me working for these kinds of people. But I needed the money. Anyways, I was walking up to the familiar green colored smoldering ruins. I get out of my car and walk towards them.

"Well now what in the hell happened here?" I ask. I notice the remains of hundreds of students and teachers. A girl with long black hair and a baige uniform walks up to me she looks devistated.

"Oh good! You're here, Detective!" she says. I can see tears in her eyes. At least these kinds of people are more serious. She brings me to a small short haired girl crying over the corpse of a taller girl wearing the same clothing.

"Liz! Wake up! Please wake up!" she cries. I sigh. I see this all too often.

"Forget it kid. She's gone."

She cries in my arms. I sigh. I then remember, I have been to this place before...when it was once Death City...

It all started in my office back in Los Angeles California. Since the sudden boom of "Anime Toons" regular toon films were becoming a thing of the past. Anime was where it was at. Even my own girlfriend, my secretary, was an anime toon. Don't judge. She is the most beautiful Anime toon girl you ever did see. She's the love of my life, though some may not see her the way I do. She has the most strikingly beautiful face, and the biggest, greenest eyes that could pierce your soul. She has strained peach colored hair, it's not very long...and it's kind of wild and wavy. I like it. Her body is fair, but I like it too. She likes to wear plain cothing, but I don't care. I think she looks good in anything she wears. And her personality. She is a kind and caring individual, but very shy. And her voice. She has the voice of an angel. She has a very quiet voice, and it makes my heart melt. Oh, and her laugh. Get her to laugh hard, and she makes a funny wheezing snorting sound. God I love her so much.

Oh yeah, the story. Well one day she walks into my office, wearing formal work attire. I stand up and hold her in my arms and kiss her on the cheek.

"Hi my little Laura." I say.

"Hi Ray...um...you got a letter from some anime town..." she says holding an envelope up. I take it.

"Thank you very much." I say giving her a kiss on the lips. She goes back to her desk. I sit back down and open up the envelope. Inside was a letter.

"Dear Detective Ray Valiant. There's been a tragic murder here at Death City, and none of our most skilled investigators can figure out a suspect. We heard you are the best anime detective around. We need your help! -Lord Death."

I sigh. This was going to be a long one. I get up and grab a few things. I grab a chest holster which holds two toon guns, and two leg holsters holding two pistols with real bullets, but filled with dip, capable of killing a toon and a human. Normal bullets can kill anime toons, but they are immune to dip. I have them incase the culprit is a deranged toon. I leave my office and Laura notices.

"Where are you going?"

"I got a case I need to solve in Death City."

She gets up and hugs me. I hug back.

"Please...just be careful..."

I kiss her.

"I promise I'll be back in one piece."

"What? Why would you go there?"

I laugh and groan.

"Noooo I meant I will come back safely. I say kissing her on the cheek. I then leave my office and get into my car.

One thing I knew for sure, this was going to be a long one...
