It was a normal day in Death City, the hot sun beating down on everyone's backs. School was in session at the DWMA, but it was lunch time. Tons of students were outside talking or eating their lunches. In a corner of the academy a fight had started, and many crowded around to see what'd happen. Everyone looked up as they felt a chill in the air as a large shadow passed overhead.
The wind flung in several directions as a large creature landed on the academy roof, it's wings spreading wide to help balance itself on the uneven surface. Several people screamed at the sight of the large beast as it let out a roar.
"Bring me the leader of this civilization!" A voice boomed in everyone in the area's heads. No one moved as the dragon spoke without moving it's lips. His lips curled into a snarl. "I need to speak with your master!" He said in a bit nicer voice. A couple people ran into the building. The dragon sat in silence for a bit. Finally a man with blue skin appeared, another white haired man with a screw in his head next to him. They came up to one of the taller patios nearer to the dragon. They held a large mirror up. The dragon looked into the mirror as a black form appeared.
"Haiya Mr. Dragon!" Lord Death said. The dragon bent his head down to look into the mirror.
"You may call me... Jacob. My real name is too difficult for non dragons." The dragon replied.
"Yes yes! Jacob. What is it? What brings cause of a large beast as yourself to come all the way here?"
"We are under attack in our homeland!" Jacob boomed. Lord Death interrupted him.
"Do you mind keeping it down a bit?" Jacob backed his head up a bit, startled. He nodded.
"Sorry," he said, much softer. "I would like to ask you if it would be alright if we send many of our little ones to your city for protection. With all the fighting all over, we don't want any of our kits to be harmed..."
Lord Death nodded. "Yes, I understand. But why here?" Jacob turned his head to the sky.
"Many of a time have we gone out, searching place to place our kits would be safe, but none have shown trust. Some have ran in fear, not listening to reason. Others have agreed, only to betray our trust and try to keep them as slaves or money makers. I hope that if you agree to helping protect our little ones, that you will keep your promise. You're our last hope." Lord Death thought for a moment.
"You have a deal!" He said, extending his hand out of the mirror. Jacob put a claw forward, which Lord Death shook.
"Although you must have something you'd like in return for giving them shelter?" Jacob asked. Lord Death shook his head.
"Only that they join the academy!" Lord Death replied. Jacob nodded. Sid and Stein led the mirror out of there. The dragon turned to leave, when a loud voice from behind interrupted him.
"Hey! Dragon dude!" Jacob turned back around to look at the obnoxious blue haired student standing on the middle spike. "I challenge you to a fight!" Jacob bent his head down, his eye coming eye to face with the student. His eye was as big as the boy.
"I do not fight little brats like you," he said. "Unless they are my enemy." He backed his head up a bit so his nose faced the boy. "I'd like to know your name, little boy. I'd like to know the name of the one who dared to challenge me to a fight."
"I'm Black Star! The one who'll surpass God!" Black Star yelled, grinning. Jacob backed his head up and laughed, smoke coming from his nose. "What's so funny!?" Black Star yelled.
"Black Star, eh? I remember your father. He fought me to my limits. I would like to fight you one day too, boy. But for now I must return to my brood. Good luck on surpassing God." Jacob turned, pushing off and flapping, creating a giant gust of wind as he took off. He roared as he flew away.
