Opposites Don't Attract
Chapter 1
Death the Kid took exactly 8 minutes to comb his hair. He brushed his teeth for exactly 88 seconds. It took him 8 minutes to pick out his clothes, 8 minutes to make breakfast, and 8 minutes to eat his breakfast.
He looked at the clock. 8:00 am. "Liz, Patty," he called. "let's go." He walked out the door with his twin pistol partners ((say that 3 times fast)) following him.
"Kid," Liz complained. "We're late again."
"Only by a few minutes," was Kid's reply. The trio walked from the home through Death City until they reached the stairs going to the DWMA ((Death Weapon Meister Academy)). They climbed the stairs and walked into the school. They were met by a man with red hair.
"Good morning Maka's Dad," Patty said cheerfully.
"You're late Kid, class has already begun." Spirit moved back a bit so the three could get through. He then walked out the door and down the stairs.
A minute later, Kid, Liz, and Patty had made their way to Professor Stein's classroom. Upon entering, they were met with a death glare from the professor but he was in the middle of dissecting a rare bird and continued on with his lecture on how dangerous the bird's beak was.
The trio settled down in their seats and watched Professor Stein as he attempted to coax the tongue of the bird out. It was green and covered in bumps. Many ew's made their way around the room.
Maka Albarn glanced over at Kid. Late again, she thought. She looked over at her partner, Soul Eater. He had a bored expression on his face. He's as bored as ever. Maka then looked over at Black Star and Tsubaki. She was calmly explaining to him why it would be a bad idea to fight the bird but he obviously wasn't listening. Maka sighed. That's Black Star for you.
"Oh, I completely forgot," Professor Stein said, interrupting Maka's thoughts. "Maka, Soul, Kid, Liz, Patty, Black Star, and Tsubaki. Please meet Lord Death after school in the Death Room." He then continued on his dissection.
Soul gave Maka a look that said What did we do? She shook her head, indicating she didn't know.
Must be a mission, she mouthed. Her partner nodded.
Once class had ended, all 7 students walked to Lord Death's room together.
"Hello, hello, hello!" Lord Death said in his cheery voice.
"Good afternoon, Lord Death, sir," Maka said.
"Hello, Father," said Kid.
"So why'd you call us here?" Black Star said, his hands behind his head.
"I have a mission for all of you."
"Is it so difficult that you need all of us? I think just me would be enough."
"No, no. This is a very dangerous mission and I'll need all of you for it. It will take a few days to accomplish but do not worry, you are excused from missing class."
"How long should it take, sir?" Maka questioned.
"Hmm, what do you think, Sid?" Everyone turned around to face Sid, who hadn't been standing there when they walked in.
"Sorry for intruding, sir." Sid said.
"It's okay. Why are you here? Did you find out some information on the you-know-what?"
"Yes, sir."
"Good! You can tell them once I explain the mission." To Maka he said: "I believe it will take about 3 days. If you hurry, maybe only 2."
"And what would this mission be, Father?" Kid asked.
"There is a dangerous witch in a town a day away if you walk. She has made a device, a mirror to be exact to be used to turn the world into a war."
"What does this mirror do?" Soul asked.
"Sid will explain it to you."
"The mirror is called an Anti-Personality Mirror," Sid explained. "If you look in it, a person with the opposite personality as you will walk out. It also works as a mirror so the person who comes out is a mirror image of yourself. The witch is hoping lots of people will look at the mirror and start fights with their opposite personality self, thus causing wars around the world."
"So it is very important that you do not look at the mirror." Lord Death concluded.
"What about the witch?" Maka asked.
"According to what we've found out, she has a set of special glasses so when she looks in the mirror, nothing happens." Sid explained.
"Also," Lord Death added. "there is a giant and dangerous maze before you reach her lair. The monsters are very challenging so for all of you to be in peak condition to fight this witch, I advise you to all stay together."
"Understood, Father." Kid glared at Black Star.
"Yeah yeah, don't go off on your own." Black Star rolled his eyes.
"One last thing. We do not know who the witch has allied herself with so be wary of everyone you meet."
"Yes, sir."
"You may go. Good luck." And with that, everyone exited the Death Room and hurriedly left the school.
"I can use Beelzebub and Maka and Soul can use their motorcycle, but how will Black Star and Tsubaki get there?" Kid asked.
"I can run." Black Star said simply. Kid shrugged and held out his hand. His skateboard, Beelzebub, appeared out of his hand. Soul ran off to grab his motorcycle.
A few minutes later, when everyone had reassembled in front of the school, everyone took off. Kid riding his skateboard with Liz and Patty in weapon form, Soul driving his motorcycle with Maka clinging to his back, and Black Star running alongside them with Tsubaki also in weapon form.
Lord Death watched them leave from his tall mirror in the Death Room. "Good luck, all of you. You will certainly need it."
