"Talking"
'Thoughts'
Sitting in the top row of class Crescent Moon, a girl stares at the classroom wall. The words of the teacher, Sid, are ignored.
'I wonder if I'll be able to go on another mission soon, things have been very slow lately'
Before the girl could continue her thoughts, a voice interrupted them.
"Serena!" The voice shouted.
The girl, Serena, turned her attention away from the wall, her brown eyes frantically searching for the owner of the voice. Her eyes widened when she discovered that the voice belonged to Sid.
"Normally students that don't pay attention get in trouble, however you're lucky Serena, Lord Death wants to see you immediately." Sid said, with a light hearted glare.
With a blush of embarrassment glowing on her brown cheeks, Serena left the classroom and started walking to the Death Room.
'I wonder why Lord Death wants to see me, hopefully the reason isn't so serious.' Serena thought with a bit of worry. Her feelings of worry intensified when she found herself face to…mask with Lord Death.
"Hello Serena." Lord Death chirped
"Hello Lord Death…Sid told me that you wanted to see me." Serena replied.
"Well…you're a good student Serena, but there are a few problems with your enrollment." Lord Death said his voice now serious.
Serena's heart dropped at this. She started to stare at the floor and tug at her short pleated black skirt.
Lord Death continued talking.
"You only have collected eight souls, you can't participate in the team classes, and most importantly…you refuse to find a meister."
"I apologize for my lacking performance sir" Serena made temporary eye contact "it's just…I don't want a meister. I work better by myself."
"Are you sure about this Serena? It's one of the academies most important policies."
"I'm certain Lord Death."
"Well…In that case, I'm afraid that I have to terminate your enrollment at the DWMA."
Serena suddenly whipped her head up and stared at Lord Death with pleading eyes.
"Are there any other options?" Serena asked, desperation soaking every word.
"You could transfer to the Not program." Lord Death replied.
"But I want to become a death scythe."
"If that's the case, would you be willing to partner with a meister?"
"Yes…" Serena answered in defeat.
"Great! Now despite the fact that there are no partner less meisters at this current time, I managed to find you one." Lord Death said his voice now cheerful.
"Who?" Serena asked in pure curiosity.
"The meister that I selected is not enrolled in the DWMA." Lord Death replied.
Before Serena could question Lord Death, she was interrupted by the sound of footsteps. Upon turning around, Serena was able to see that the footsteps belonged to three people. The first was a tall girl with long blonde hair and sun-kissed skin. The second was a girl, who appeared to be related to the first, due to having the same skin tone and short blonde hair. Both girls wore cowgirl outfits that had slight variations.
The third was a boy who captured the largest portion of Serena's attention. He had pale skin and black hair with three white, horizontal lines. He was wore a black suit with white rectangles.
The boy glanced at Serena; his yellow eyes contained a hint of curiosity.
Serena casted her eyes towards the floor so she could break eye contact with him. She let out a sigh of relief as the boy turned to face Lord Death.
"We completed the mission father." The boy said.
Serena's eyes widened at the used of the word "father". Only one thought was on her mind.
'Lord Death has a son!?"
Lord Death and his son continued their conversation while Serena watched in amazement.
"Good job Kid." Lord Death said cheerful.
"So what was the other reason for why you called us here father?" Kid asked.
"I'm assigning another weapon to your team."
"Who?"
"Her." Lord Death said as he pointed at Serena.
Serena slowly took her eyes off of the floor and stared at kid with a look of fear on her face. Kid flashed Serena a small smile, and then turned to face Lord Death with a stunned face.
"This is unexpected father." Kid said.
"Don't worry Kiddo; Serena is a good student and weapon. She'll definitely help you with the missions that I assign you." Lord Death said with a wink. He then handed Kid a paper which he seemed to have pulled out of thin air.
Kid took the paper and nodded his head at Lord Death. He then started to walk out of the Death Room; the two girls followed him.
Serena mumbled a goodbye to Lord Death and reluctantly left the Death Room.
Since the kishin egg that they were hunting wouldn't become active until nightfall, Kid decided to treat his weapon partners to lunch at Death Bucks. While waiting for their orders Serena came to learn the names of the two girls. Liz was the one with the long hair and Patty was the one with the short hair. They were sisters, with Liz as the older sister and Patty as the younger sister.
Seeing as how Serena wasn't saying much, Liz decided to attempt to break Serena out of her shell.
"So…what kind of weapon are you?" Liz asked her warmest smile on her face.
"I'm a double bladed spear with an attached shield." Serena replied, her voice shaking.
"Don't worry Rapunzel, we don't bite." Liz said with a chuckle.
Serena instinctively reached behind her back and touched her dark brown hair.
"I hope the nickname didn't bother you Serena. It's just I've never met a girl with ankle length hair." Liz said with a reassuring smile.
Before Liz could continue talking, Patty interrupted her.
"Yeah your hair is super cool! Its long like a giraffes' neck!" Patty exclaimed in awe.
This made Serena laugh. Liz and Patty joined in on the laughing. After composing herself, Serena noticed that Kid was staring at her.
"Is there a problem?" Serena asked while attempting to keep her composure. Underneath the table, Serena was tugging at her black thigh length tights.
"Well…when you laugh, your smile is symmetrical. And surprisingly, your buck-teeth don't interfere with the symmetry." Kid replied with an elated expression on his face.
Unable to form any kind of response, Serena simply nodded and mumbled thanks to kid.
Soon their orders came and the conversation took a serious tone as Kid started to go over the mission to capture the kishin egg that Lupin possessed.
After waiting a few hours, night fall finally came. Now all that was left was to wait for Lupin to appear.
"Based on the number of sightings that were reported, it's safe to assume that Lupin will appear in this neighborhood." Kid said as his eyes scanned the streets for any sign of Lupin. He held two pistols, presumably Liz and Patty in his hands.
Serena was leaning on a nearby wall. She opened one of the pockets of her gray dress shirt and took out a small bag of lollipops.
'I know I need to focus on the mission but lunch was hours ago' Serena thought as she put one of the lollipops in her mouth.
Serena only had a few minutes to enjoy her lollipop before a flash of red went by her.
"It's Lupin!" Serena shouted as she ran after him.
Kid followed Serena. Eventually they were able to corner Lupin in an alleyway.
"Lupin it's time to pay for your misdeeds." Kid declared.
After he finished his declaration, Kid got into some type of pose. Liz and Patty transformed into their human forms and posed near Kid. Serena had to cover her mouth as a way to keep her laughter hidden.
'They look ridiculous.' Serena thought.
Serena's thoughts were interrupted by shouting. Kid was shouting about how Patty made the pose unsymmetrical. Lupin used the commotion to his advantage and slowly started to remove a nearby manhole cover. Serena noticed this and ran towards Lupin. She then delivered a powerful kick to his stomach.
The kick sent Lupin into the air. However he quickly recovered and twisted his body in the direction of a nearby roof.
Serena transformed her lower arms into blades and used them to climb up the alley wall. Once she reached the roof, Serena found herself face to face with Lupin. Before engaging Lupin in battle, Serena looked down into the alleyway and glanced at Kid, Liz and Patty.
'I can't believe they haven't noticed I'm gone!' Serena thought in disappointment.
Serena then turned to face Lupin and took in his appearance while glaring at him.
Lupin still had a human appearance with his muscular body and red bodysuit. He smirked at Serena before charging at her.
Serena jumped out of his path and charged at Lupin before he could turn around. She managed to slash his back.
Enraged by Serena's attack Lupin charged at her and managed to grab her right leg. He then stood at his full height; the action caused Serena to be lifted into the air and held upside down.
In order to escape his grasp Serena slashed at the hand that was holding her leg and cut it off.
Lupin recoiled in pain.
When Serena prepared to deal the final blow, Lupin moved swiftly and tackled Serena to the ground, the force knocking her out of her combat boots. He used the damaged arm to hold Serena down, which caused blood to cover her clothes. Lupin then used his good arm to bring his brown bag close to Serena. The bag opened itself and a red hand came out. The hand launched itself into Serena's chest and began to pull at her soul.
Serena screamed in pain.
Luckily Kid and the others heard her screams. Liz and Patty transformed into their weapon forms, while Kid summoned his skateboard. He then collected his two weapons and flew to the roof.
Once on the roof Kid entered Execution Mode and fired the Death Cannon at Lupin, killing him and destroying the bag. Only the kishin egg was left behind.
"Are you ok Serena?" Kid asked, his voice full of concern.
"I'm ok, he just surprised me." Serena replied as she slowly sat up.
"Next time don't run off on your own. We're all a team."
"I won't…Kid."
Kid simply nodded and helped Serena stand up.
After apologizing to Liz and Patty, Serena was surprised to find that she would be given Lupin's soul. Kid didn't like it when Liz and Patty collected odd numbers of souls. As she consumed it, Serena couldn't help wondering if she'd actually become a death scythe with Kid as her meister.
