Okay, so I have recently gotten into Soul Eater. I have only seen the first six or seven episodes, but I have read several other fanfics and did some wiki research, so I have a basic idea of what's happening. Sorry if it's a little rough, but the outline for this started out as a script dialogue. Anyways, the story takes place sometime in the anime (I have put in the number of souls the three groups collected so far so you have a basic idea) and focuses on three OCs: Robert Greenwood, a new meister student, his partner Stone-Hammer, a hammer/sword weapon, and Robert's mother, Janet Greenwood. Just a heads up, Robert and Maka have a similar lifestyle, so don't flame about this. There are also some real world elements (e.g. Skillet, Coca-Cola, etc.), and I do not own them. So, R&R, PM, and Enjoy!
New Arrival
Chapter 1
Death City, Night
Death City, Nevada, is quiet. Its residents are sleeping peacefully. However, the silence is broken by the sound of a battle. Two figures run through the streets. The one ahead is humanoid, but deformed. Its legs are spindly, as well as its arms. From its back, six mechanical legs move the deformed body with impressive speed.
Close behind is another human, a young girl. She wields a weapon, a scythe with an eye on the handle, and a crimson and black blade. The girl's name is Maka Albarn, and the name of the scythe is Soul "Eater" Evans, a human capable of transforming into a weapon. The deformed figure turns to face them, only to be struck by the weapon and dissolves into an orb of red surrounded by bandages. The bandages surround the orb and there is a small flash of light. The orb of light is now red, with a wisp on top, a visible core and crusted edges; a Kishin egg soul. Formed by eating a pure soul, anyone who's soul becomes a Kishin egg must be killed, and their corrupt soul eaten by a weapon. The girl approaches the egg and holds her scythe towards the Kishin egg. The scythe flashed and turned into a human form, Soul Evans. Soul grabbed the Kishin egg, and ate it in a single bite.
Once finished, he folded his hands in a prayer form and said to his meister, "Maka, thank you once again for a good meal."
"No problem Soul," Maka replied. "Come on, let's go tell Lord Death." Maka ran over to a nearby shop and breathed on the window, causing the window to become foggy. She began to write on the foggy part of the window and recited, "42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door." A wave of energy went over the window, causing it to brighten into a panel of light. "Hello? Lord Death are you there?" The light in the window fades to reveal a cartoonish looking figure. Almost his entire figure was black. The only part of his body that wasn't black was his white mask-like face that vaguely resembled a skull. This was Lord Death.
"Ya, ya, hello Meister Maka. I assume the mission was a success?"
Maka nodded her head and replied, "Yes sir, we've collected our 37th Kishin egg soul."
"Good, good, you-" Lord Death was interrupted when his mirror pinged. "Oh, it looks like someone else is contacting me. I'll do a split-screen chat." Lord Death revealed one of his two hands, which was shaped like a foam hand, and snapped his fingers. The view split along the bottom, the top showing Lord Death and the bottom a blur of light.
"Hey, Lord Death, can you hear me?" The light faded to reveal Black*Star and Tsubaki, another Meister/Weapon pair, currently in Nigeria.
"Ah Black*Star," Lord Death said, "you caught me in the middle of a message between Soul and Maka." Black*Star and Soul high-fived each other in the mirror, and Lord Death continued, "How did it go?"
"35th Kishin egg soul collected sir," Tsubaki said. "Good, Maka and Soul just obtained their 37th-" Lord Death was interrupted by another ping of his mirror. "Again? Well, nothing another split can't handle." Lord Death snapped his fingers again, pushing the two images to the right. The new light was the size of both screens combined, and faded to reveal Lord Death's son, Death the Kid, and his two weapon partners, Liz and Patty Thompson, in Canada.
"Father, Maka, Soul, Black*Star, Tsubaki," Kid said, addressing them all.
Patty moved in front of Kid and waved, loudly saying, "Hi!"
Liz was behind Kid and merely said, "Hey."
"Ah, Kid, how is my son?" Kid's expression hardened as he said, "Liz has 40 Kishin egg souls, but Patty has 41. I need another mission." Lord Death sighed at his son's OCD for symmetry.
"Okay, everyone return to the Death Room and-" Lord Death was cut off for the third time by his mirror pinging. "Not again," he complained, snapping his fingers. "This had better be the last one." Kid's image shortened to make room for a fourth image. Once it had died down, it revealed a woman wearing a dress sitting in what appeared to be a Jeep. Her hair was done up in a ponytail, and she wore at least three necklaces and twenty bracelets on each arm. Next to her was a young boy, about Maka's age. He wore a red t-shirt with a Skillet logo on the side, tan cargo pants, and glasses. He had blue eyes, light brown hair, and was looking away from the woman. In the back, everyone could see a large backpack, a trench coat, and a sword. From their perspective, it looked like they were using a windshield for communication.
"Hello, Lord Death," the woman said. She noticed the others and said, "is this a bad time?"
Lord Death shook his head and said, "No, I can always make time for the United States Death Scythe."
Everyone except Lord Death, the woman, and the boy all exclaimed simultaneously, "Death Scythe?!"
Lord Death and the woman both sweat dropped at their reaction. "Yes," Lord Death said. He regained his composure and said, "Now, what do you need Janet? Any trouble?"
Janet shook her head no and said, "There's no trouble, but I'm on the outskirts of Death City and I brought my son, Robert, with me, just like you asked."
Without turning, Robert said, "Well, I said I didn't want to go."
Janet turned to her son, her face stern and said, "We're already 1,000 miles away from Indiana, so quit your whining."
Robert now faced his mother, "Maybe I'll walk home!"
They continued to argue for three minutes, until Lord Death spoke up, "Can I say something?"
"NO!" Janet and Robert yelled at the same time, scaring the wits out of everyone else.
"Why must you always be this difficult?" Janet asked her son.
"Fine, you want me to go, I'll go." He opened his door and grabbed the sword, backpack, and coat. "I know one thing though, Dad would agree with me!" He shouted at Janet before slamming the door.
Janet broke into tears a few seconds later, and continued to cry for a minute before looking up and said, "I'll get going now. If you need anything, contact me." Her image faded and returned to its previous layout. Everyone was stunned.
"Okay," Lord Death broke the awkward silence, "Maka, since you're the closest to him, can you bring him to the Death Room?"
Maka bowed her head, "Will do sir," and her image faded as well. Lord Death returned his attention to the remaining Weapons and Meisters and said, "Everyone else, I'll see you soon." Then both images faded to black.
Outer Death City
Just on the outer edge of Death City, Robert-now wearing his trench coat, sword in hand, and bag slung over his shoulder-was grumbling to himself as he walked the empty, lamp-lit streets. "Stupid Mom, stupid city." Robert looked down at his sword and said to it, "You agree with me, right Stone-Hammer?" The sword shined along the blade's edge, revealing a human face and neck. He had dark skin, brown eyes, a bald head, and seemed to be very muscular. The human inside the blade nodded his head, grunting in approval. "Thanks Stone-hammer. I'm still considering walking back home." The human face glared at Robert, clearly saying his disapproval. "Okay, bad idea," he said. He then thought to himself, 'At least until we can get some supplies.'
He looked up and noticed the girl he saw in the top right-hand corner of the windshield was walking towards him. Next to her was a boy, about the same height as her, with white hair and some sort of attitude. 'Great, the welcoming committee has arrived.' Maka and Soul walked up to Robert.
Maka held out her hand and said, "Hi, welcome to Death City, name's Maka." Robert stared at her hard, then stared at her hand, then to Soul, and back to her. Maka pulled her hand back and said, "Anyways, this is Soul, my partner." Soul didn't hold out his hand to shake, he knew he wouldn't want to shake hands with him.
"We have orders from Lord Death to escort you to the Death Room at the DWMA. If you'll follow us please?" Maka and Soul turned and went back in the direction they came, Robert following a couple feet behind.
Like I said, a little rough, but the story should get better later. So, R&R, PM, and tell me what you think.
