"Frosty," said one of the girls," Have you read the Cirque du Freak manga yet?" She was average height, about 5' 4", skinny, had short, frizzy, black hair, black rimmed glasses, hazel eyes, and was wearing a shirt that said "Kamikazecon" on the front. Her friends all knew her to be a huge manga fan.

"Yes," replied Frosty," Crepsley is amazing! Who was your favorite, Lyn?" He was about 5' 10" with wire rimmed glasses, green eyes, short dirty blonde hair, and a gray hoodie. He was one of Lyn's friends who also happened to be a manga fan.

"You two hurry up and eat dinner before it burns!" yelled the other girl from her spot near their campfire. She was Lyn's sister Savvy. She was about the same height as Lyn with no glasses, really frizzy, medium ,dark brown hair, smokey blue eyes, tan skin, and the same build as her sister. The only anime/ manga character she cared about was Sasuke from Naruto. Savvy, Frost, and Lyn had gotten tired of city life and had successfully convinced their parents to let them go camping. They were currently camped in a nice little clearing somewhere in the woods. They had a fairly large tent, and they trusted Frosty, so they had decided to all just sleep in the same tent.

After dinner it started to rain, so they all headed inside the tent.

"Check out what I snagged from Dad." said Lyn as she rummaged around in her bag. Savvy and Lyn's dad was always tinkering with stuff in his lab and occasionally blowing it up. She finally stopped rummaging and pulled out a small flashlight.

"Is that a McDonalds Happy Meal toy?" asked Frosty.

"It's not just any McDonalds Happy Meal toy," replied Lyn with a devilish smirk," It's a Batman McDonalds Happy Meal toy."

"You took Dad's Batman flashlight?" exclaimed Savvy. Their dad was also a huge Batman fan and treasured his collection.

"I asked him if I could borrow his flashlight and he said yes." said Lyn as she found the switch and flipped the light on, revealing the Bat-symbol. By this time it was dark outside and the light from the flashlight was a stark contrast to the now black of the side of the tent. Lyn shined the light on where Savvy was sitting near the wall.

"Don't blame me if you get in trouble." said Savvy as she leaned back right through the wall! The wall didn't compress or move, she just went through it. After a moment of shock, though, Frosty went over to her and helped her up." That was weird. It was like I was in a completely different place."

"I must be like the Corridors of Darkness that the Organization uses in Kingdom Hearts 2!" yelled Lyn with a grin.

"Then let's go through it." said Frosty." Who knows when we'll get another chance like this." With that he stepped through.

"Well someone has to go with him." said Savvy as she followed Frosty through the portal.

Lyn turned he light off after Savvy went through and was surprised to find that the image still lingered there." Well, I'll be darned if I let them have all the fun." was all she said as she grabbed her backpack and stepped through the portal into the unkown.

Through the Portal

"OMG!" said Lyn as she gazed around her.

"Do you know where we are?" asked Frosty.

She turned to glare at him." Of course I do!" she exclaimed." We're in Loew Village from Soul Eater! This is the village where the oldest Golem went berserk and Maka, Soul, Crona, and Ragnarok first met Giriko the enchanter and chainsaw, then Justin fought Giriko and- ahhhh- Giriko..." She spaced out a little as she said that last part.

"Let's get out of town before we continue this." interrupted Savvy before Lyn could continue her rant." I don't like the looks that the locals are giving us." After looking around Frosty and Lyn nodded in agreement, so they all walked around town trying to find a way to get to Death City, since Frosty and Lyn agreed that it was the safest place to be. After stopping to ask the occasional friendly looking local for help for a while, they finally came across someone who was willing to give them the money to get to Death City along with directions to the bus stop, since the first leg of the journey was by bus. Upon arriving at the bus stop and buying their tickets, though, Frosty and Savvy discovered two things: 1) the bus was already there and was waiting for people to board it and 2) Lyn had somehow gotten separated from them and lost in the village.

"She'll be okay." said Frosty," She knows more about where we are than we do." He turned and boarded the bus with Savvy following close behind.

Meanwhile on the opposite end of town, Lyn had just now realized that she was alone and began to wander around trying to find the bus stop. She somehow finally wound up in the same place that Giriko and Justin fought that first time, so naturally she recognized it immediately. She had started to mentally replay the battle when an all too familiar voice snapped her back to reality.

"Are you lost or something?"

She turned around to happily discover that her ears had not deceived her and that the person was, in fact, Giriko." Giriko!" she squealed as she glomped him, clasping her arms tightly around his waist in the process.

"Do I know you?" he said as he tried to unfasten Lyn from his waist, but she held tight.

"No, you don't know me, but I am..." she said,"...your biggest fan! The fact that you break away from the typical demon weapon routine and don't serve Shinigami-sama! The fact that you turn into a frickin' chainsaw, of all things! Then there was that awesome fight with Justin!" She finally released Giriko's waist and took a few steps back." I want to meet Noah-sama and Gopher-kun and Justin and even Clown, too. Can I, please?"

"Why don't you tell me who the hell you are and how you know all of this stuff first!" Giriko was getting irritated now.

"My name is Lyn and that's all you'll get out of me until I meet Noah- sama and..." Giriko silence her with a hand over her mouth before she could finish.

"I don't have a choice do I?" Lyn shook her head." Fine, guess I'll bring to Noah and let him question you." Giriko was glad that his hand had remained over her mouth to stifle the squeal of excitement. He took his hand off of her mouth and started walking away, signaling for her to follow him, which she did. Meanwhile on a bus somewhere, Frost and Savvy were fast asleep.
