This story occurs a few weeks after Ginta arrives in MAR- Heaven. I guess right before he meets Alviss.
Summary: 14 year old Celcily (Icchi) Sora always dreamed about another world. One day, she gets her opportunity to go. She finds out that her dream world isn't all it's cracked up to be, thanks to the Chess No Koma. And on top of that, her memories of life before MAR-Heaven are slowly receding.
CH. 1: It's Out with the Old and In with the New!
Celcily Icchinin Sora raised her dreary head from her soft, cozy pillow. She stretched herself out and stepped outside. She inhaled the fresh air of the unusual world around her. Talking animals, magic, mythical creatures, this world were everything she imagined it to be. Celcily couldn't help but trifle over how she arrived in her dream world in the first place.
Flashback: 3 weeks prior:
"Icchi! Icchi!" A high pitched voice called out. Celcily lifted her head, irritable due to the saying of her childhood nickname. "Chatsi," She started, referring to her red haired freckled friend, "How many times do I have to tell you? Don't call me Icchi." Chatsi grinned.
"Alright Icchi!" (Celcily: -_- ; I just said don't call me that!) "But get your lazy bums up!" She continued, trying to pull Celcily out of her desk.
"Leave me alooooo…" Celcily managed to get out as she began to drift to sleep.
"Ah-hem." Celcily and Chatsi glanced up at their teacher.
Celcily: -_-; "Yeah?"
Chatsi: o.o "Heya!"
"If you two are done, I would like to continue teaching." Celcily stared blankly at her teacher. She then pouted.
"Actually, I wasn't done. How rude." She meant to say in her head but in turn professed out loud. The teacher slapped a thick, social studies book across Celcily's head.
"Maybe you'll learn quicker that way! Now get to work!" Celcily rubbed the substantial bump on her head. The room was quiet as the students copied notes off the board. Chatsi glanced at Celcily and noticed her very irritated and extremely bored expression. She moved in closer.
"PSSSSSSSSSSST!" Chatsi attempted to get Celcily's attention. Celcily peered at her friend. "Hey Icchi! Take a look at this!" She whispered. Celcily stealthily retrieved the paper. She examined the note:
Love Anime? Read Manga?

Celcily smirked. "This is great!" She whispered. "We have to go!"
"I thought you might say that..." Chatsi pulled out two cards from her pocket. "So I got these!" Celcily shot up from her seat. "Whaaaaaaa! No way! These are entrance cards! Chatsi!" Celcily didn't seem to notice the peeved demeanor on her teacher's face. He hurled a piece of chalk at Celcily's head. "Be quiet!" He exclaimed. The chalk hit Celcily square in her forehead. A red mark covered her ebony skin.
Celcily: O.o "Gyaaa! What was that for!"
Teacher: :( "Pay attention in class!"
Chatsi" o.o "…"
Suddenly, the room turned black. The students in the classroom were thrown into a frenzy. Celcily listened as she heard people say things like "We're gonna die" and "What's going on!" Everyone left out the classroom into the hallway, for it was normal out there. Everyone excluding Celcily and Chatsi. Chatsi shook Celcily violently.
"Icchi! We're gonna die! I can't die yet! I haven't kissed anyone before!" She glimpsed at Celcily. "No." Celcily instantly replied. Suddenly, a bright circle covered the ground. A door with multiple chains on it and a…puppet guy with pluses for eyes rose from the circle. [Sorry. I don't know what he is.] Celcily, Chatsi, and the other students gawked at the strange phenomenon. The puppet spoke.
"I have appeared before you because you either believed another world existed or you wished to escape the world you're in now." Way to drop the bomb on me. Chatsi chuckled nervously.
"Well that can't be right! Icchi hasn't said anything like that in, like, ever!" It was actually two years, but I'll save that story for another time. "Right Icchi?" Celcily wasn't listening. She was too mesmerized by the gatekeeper. The hair that flopped over her face covered her eyes, making it impossible for anyone to read them.
"Hey," She started, referring to puppet-san, "How do you see with those plus eyes? I bet you're a whiz at math!" Everyone face-planted at the statement. The gatekeeper continued,
"I will roll the die to determine how many people are allowed to pass through the door." The gatekeeper shot the die. Everyone gazed anxiously as the die rolled to a stop. "One. One person is allowed to pass." Celcily immediately raised her hand, viewing this as her opportunity to escape this world.
"I'll go!" Without hesitation, she proceeded with walking towards the door when Chatsi grabbed her arm. Celcily eyed her.
"Icchi…" Celcily grinned.
"It's okay! I'll be fine! I promise I'll tell you all about it when I get back, okay?" Chatsi stuck out her pinky.
"Promise?" Celcily nodded and clasped her pinky with Chatsi's.
"Promise." Chatsi grinned.
"See ya later Icchi!" Celcily finally stepped through the doors to the new world.
Present:
"Celcily!" She heard a man call out her name. The man had long, silver hair and usually wore grey and black.
"Nagato-san!" She responded surprised. She didn't expect him to be up this early. Well, she didn't expect herself to be up this early, but that's beside the point.
"…We need to talk…" He finally said. A look of dread overcame Celcily's face. Usually when Nagato said they needed to 'talk', it was because she was doing something wrong or had to train 18 million times as hard. She slowly, yet eventually, made her way back into the house. Nagato is Celcily's trainer. Alongside with Sai, the blond haired lady Celcily noticed sitting at the table, they taught her the rules of combat and the rules of magic. Celcily squirmed into a chair, uncertain on why Nagato called her. She glanced at Sai, who returned a warm smile to her. Nagato plopped into a chair and sighed.
"There isn't a lot of time to explain," He started. A concerned and confused look was notable on Celcily's face, "Remember what Zukaiza told you about the Chess No Koma?" Celcily nodded. She slightly smiled at the memory of first meeting Zukaiza. Nagato cleared his throat. He placed a bracelet and two rings on the table. Celcily gazed, perplexed at the items he chose to input. "These may look like regular accessories from your world, but in MAR-Heaven these are called ARMS." If Celcily seemed perplexed before, she was just confused now.
"ARMS? What're those? Is it some new fangled technology you young kids are usin'?" Nagato and Sai sweat dropped.
"ARMS are weapons in forms of accessories. To make a long story short, you use your magic energy and channel it into the ARM. There are five types of ARMS: Weapon ARMS. Those are ARMS that transforms into weapons, such as my double edged lightning blade." Celcily seemed surprised.
"That was an ARM? I thought you just engulfed the weapon in electricity." She explained, remembering the gruesome training she went through because of said weapon. Not that it was much of a problem. Nagato shook his head.
"It was specially made for that purpose. Moving on, next is Guardian ARMS. Those are ARMS in which you can summon something or someone to aid you in battle. The downfall to this is that you are paralyzed until your ARM is withdrawn." Celcily pouted.
"Well that's stupid. What's the point in having a guardian that can't move?" She asked playfully. She then noticed an apprehensive look in his customarily strict eyes. Celcily decided to get serious.
"The third kind is Nature ARMS. Those are ARMS that enable you to call on nature for your needs. That includes earth, water, fire, and air." Celcily nodded in deftly. She couldn't help but get excited. She grinned to herself. Nagato twitched.
"Is there something funny you want to share?" [Sigh…Nagato's cold nature as usual.] Celcily shook her head. Sai placed her hand on Celcily's shoulder.
"Don't mind him. He's just a little apprehensive lately." She whispered. Nagato continued.
"Fourth is Holy ARMS. Those ARMS are primarily used for healing purposes. Lastly is Darkness ARMS. Those are very dangerous yet effective ARMS. Activating Darkness ARMS afflict damage on both the opponent and user. The effects vary depending on the ARM's ability. Any question?" Celcily gazed vaguely. 'Of course I have questions. I mean, what the heck did he just say?' Celcily believed she thought but, of course, said aloud. Nagato shot darts at her, courtesy of his eyes. He glanced at Sai. She smiled.
"Weapon ARM! Jack Hammer!" Sai proceeded in bonking Celcily in the head.
Celcily: O.o "Aye!" Celcily exclaimed. Sai was notorious for her infamous Jackhammer, although it wasn't really a jackhammer. It was more like a very large mallet. Celcily soon realized that it was an ARM too. Celcily directed their attention to the accessories on the table.
"So these are ARMS?" Nagato nodded.
"Would you like to do the honors Sai?" Sai agreed.
"Okay Icchi," [Celcily: Don't call me that -_-] "This is a Nature ARM." She pointed referring to one of the rings. "It contains fire." Celcily pondered this for awhile. Finally, she answered back.
"But I can use fire and stuff without Nature ARMS. Why can't I just use that?" Sai glanced at Nagato. He subtly shook his head. She turned back to Celcily.
"If at all possible, refrain from using magic other than ARMS I don't have time to explain why." Celcily seemed suspicious, yet asked no questions. Sai took another ring. "This is a Holy ARM, Healing Fairy. It'll heal your wounds. Lastly," She took the bracelet, "This is a special ARM. It's a Darkness ARM. It's called Personality Solitude. Use this as little as possible. This ARM lets you change into a specific emotion. The effect this ARM has on you is that you have to stay that certain emotion until it wears off. There's no specific time for which it takes." Celcily was glowing. All this new information was exciting to her. She then noticed Sai was taking off the bracelet she was wearing.
"Here," Sai extended the ARM towards Celcily. Celcily gazed stoically at the ARM.
"What is it?" Sai grinned.
"It's my weapon ARM, Jackhammer!" Celcily was stunned.
"But that's your favorite ARM!" Sai shook her head.
"I want you to have it! It's not just good for discipline; it's also a good battle weapon. You'll find that out later!" Celcily glanced at Nagato, who seemed to be contemplating something for awhile. He finally rose to his feet.
"I'll be back." Celcily and Sai waited patiently for his return. He came back, necklace in hand. "This is a weapon ARM. It's called Kanjou. It's a gunblade in its original form that changes depending on your emotion at the time. I figured you would be able to do more with it than me." Celcily thanked them. She couldn't imagine how much responsibility they place her in to give her such important ARMS. Then, a thoughtful look came across her face.
"I don't get it. Why are you giving me these now?" Nagato sighed.
"Celcily, as Zukaiza told you, the Chess are coming back into the picture." Celcily nodded. "Well, it's time. There's no time to explain, but you need to start your journey to defeat them now." Celcily looked indifferent.
"Okay." She said almost instantly. Nagato sweatdropped.
"That didn't take much convincing…" He stated. Celcily pounded her chest with her fist.
"I'll do anything to stop those who plan to destroy this beautiful world! If I'm not strong enough, I'll get stronger, I promise you!" Nagato's apprehensiveness seemed to instantly vanish. He smiled cockily.
"Are you sure you can get strong enough? The Chess are pretty ruthless people." Celcily smirked.
"Of course! I'll come back and show you how strong I get! Just you wait!" Nagato sighed.
"I'll be looking forward to it." Celcily made sure she grabbed all the ARMS she received and started towards the door. Sai clutched her in her arms and squeezed her tight.
"See ya later Icchi! Be careful. And don't forget to eat!"
Celcily: -_-; "Alright! See you two later!" She exited the building.
"That girl really is inspirational, isn't she?" A voice came from behind Sai and Nagato. They both turned, stunned to find who was behind them…
