Soul Eater: Afterlife! Chapter 1
It's been far too long since Maka Albarn has faced a real enemy. By real she means someone more powerful then her. Maka, now a senior student at DWMA (Death Weapon Meister Academy) is living her days finishing off her classes and feeding small petty souls to her Weapon Soul Eater Evans. The two have not faced a formidable opponent in so long it's pathetic. "What a useless class." Maka said to herself, as she was sitting in the newly formed class specializing in demons and vampires. "What I would give to fight a real life vampire" Maka said to herself, sighing while looking at the Dark Arts book featuring a vampire on the cover.
"Hey Maka, want to go with me and Black Star to check out ladies at the hot springs later?" Soul said to Maka, grinning in the process.
"You pervert! Why would I want to go with you to check out women?! Or do you just want someone to wipe all that blood coming out of your nose?!" Maka yelled throwing a book at Soul's face.
"I'm kidding you know there's only one girl I'd like to go out with and that's Tsugumi Harudori!" Soul replied.
"Her? Isn't she of the NOT class?" Maka replied.
"Yeah, but she's pretty kind of like you. Wait no I mean like my mom, yeah like my mom!" Soul said in a sigh of relief.
With that the bell rang and Maka and Soul headed out to meet Black Star and Tsubaki.
"Hey Tsubaki, Black Star! What's up?" Maka called out as they greeted each other.
"Everything's fine as usual, Maka. Although it's been quite boring lately with the little missions that has been offered. It's been a while since we all went on a mission together. It would be nice if we actually got to go on a big mission again!" Tsubaki replied.
And with that the bell rang little did they know that Maka and her friends would be assigned to a top mission so grand that it would cost them their lives! Coincidence is not? That they were just talking about missions and now here they are, as the announce speaker called out…
"Maka Albarn, Soul Eater Evans, Black Star, Tsubaki Nakatsukasa. Please report to the Death room immediately. Lord Death would like to have a word with you!" The speaker called out, with a tone sounding of utmost importance. After all the Grim Reaper himself, Lord Death, doesn't just call someone to his office for nothing!
As the four walked over to the office they noticed the son of Lord Death, Death the Kid and his weapons, Liz and Patty, The Thompson sisters also present. Seeing as all them were gathered, Death the Kid, the new Shinigami of DWMA made his announcement.
"Hello my Meisters and fellow students and! I hope you're all doing splendid. Now that I've gathered you all here I believe I should tell you what's going on. As you all know there has been havoc being wrecked about in Death City." Death started.
Maka knows of this too well. A couple of days ago while heading out to the store to buy groceries, she noticed an unusual group of creatures with Jack-O-Lantern heads riding on horses. They were there feeding on the souls of humans that were unfortunate to be roaming the streets during the time. Maka knowing she couldn't just stand there she attacked the horsemen and drove them away from the humans.
"We established a peace treaty with the witches that kept us out of trouble for quite some time, but now my friends we have a new threat approaching us that threatens our rather perfect treaty and peace. The Great Witch Ponera and her partner Grimoire have formed an evil organization called The Headless Horsemen. They wreck havoc and eat souls for a living. The ones you defeated the other day Maka, were the weakest of them all. They are called Horsemen. The way this organization is ranked is the weakest have Jack-O-Lantern heads and the strongest are headless. However, they have their head on their belt. If they happen to put their head on their power levels double. Why is this is a mystery to us but that's about all we know of them. Seeing as they are very powerful. Just you guys alone will not be enough to stop them." Death continued.
"Woah wait hold up, 'you guys alone'? Are you saying you aren't coming along?" Black Star interjected.
"I have my duties here as a Shinigami and Liz and Patty are my subordinates, therefore they stay as well. Although I recommend you guys gather a group of Meisters. As I said you guys alone will not be enough to stop The Headless Horsemen. You have my permission to gather Meisters here at DWMA." Death finished.
"Well no duh. Where else are we going to get Meisters?" Soul joked.
And with that was the start of their mission. Their task. Their whatever you want to call it. As the four walked out the door, Tsugumi Harudori, walked right pass them.
