AN: Hello everyone, I'm Edward the Pure, here to bring you a new story. I'm sure that at least one of my reviewers for another story will be reading this, so how about we get into it right away.
Prologue
*Third POV*
A wasteland, bear of any form of life, comes into view. Cracks can be seen all over the ground, showing that the land had had no rain for several months, at the least. It is clear that there is nothing else in sight, not even a sign of wind. The sky is a pitch black, no stars at all in view. There wasn't even a moon in the sky.
From the center of the view, if begins to ripple, much like water does when it is disturbed. The rippling soon turned into waves, and a gust of hot air blows in all directions. When the gust dies down it is plain to see that the area had changed to a black castle floating in the sky. It resembled a medieval times castle in combination with the stereotypical vampire castle, but it had a more menacing aura then what it would appear to be thought to have. The doors opened and wisps of dark matter flowed out, seemingly to beckon souls to it.
A pair of eyes appeared from the darkness, pure black but with a white outline. A chalked on frown could be seen in the darkness as well. It didn't move as barely audible chanting was heard from it, but it was obvious that it was the sound of multiple people chanting. It began growing louder with each time they said it, until it was only an echoing, deep voice, shouting with all of its might into the empty area. "Phantoms don't die and shall be reborn a new!" The castle began to crack and disintegrate. The voice, however, wasn't done, and the chanting could be heard while it spoke as well. "He shall rise again and lead all of his pieces into war; the war that shall consume two worlds and destroy dimensions!"
A purple, skeletal head with demon horns broke through the darkness and let loose a roar that destroyed the rest of the castle. The dark matter wrapped around it and began to vanish as the deep voice that had shouted spoke one last time, more quietly then before. "And the one who leads us shall be the very spawn of the one who defeated us." And suddenly, the place became a black void, swirling emptily in a counter clockwise fashion.
*Rin POV*
"Wakey wakey sleepy head," I heard from the other side of my door. I turned away from my door and moved my pillow over my head. When they heard no response they opened my and pulled off my covers. "Come on Rin, do you really want to miss the first day of school?" I heard the owner say. I didn't bother to open my eyes to know who it was.
"Yes I do Nami." I said through my pillows.
There was a "hmph" and my pillow was pulled off my head. "You don't wake up now, I'll force you to. Is that what you really want?" I heard a few knuckles cracking and knew she was serious. I reluctantly got out of bed, knowing that Nami would only yell at me more as well as possibly beat me up if I didn't get up now.
"There I'm up, happy?" I asked, slightly drowsy. I turned my head in her direction and took in her appearance. She had neck-length carrot colored hair, blue eyes, a well rounded face and a skinny build. She had on a white button down blouse, knee-length khaki skirt, a red tie, and a silver ring with a sapphire in the middle on her left middle finger.
"Very," she said with a smile. I just shrugged it off. "Now, get ready so we can go, I don't want to be late because I had to take you to school, again," she said with a bit of bitterness mixed in her voice. She left the room soon after.
I just stared at my door for a bit before grabbing my uniform from my closet and putting it down on my bed. I went to the bathroom and looked in the mirror to see how disheveled I was. I was surprised entirely about my appearance. My silver hair was still flat down, no signs of becoming a bed head in anyway, my brown eyes were focused and attentive, and I couldn't see any signs of bags under my eyes. That was never a good sign. That only happened when I had that dream.
Though I did see a hole in my plain white t-shirt on my left sleeve, and there was a black line, kind of like a burn mark, down the side of my green plaid pants. I don't get how that could have happened, but it did apparently. I just shrugged it off and brushed my teeth, followed up by combing my hair and switching into my school clothes. It consisted of a white button down shirt, khaki pants, a black belt, and a navy tie. I really would have preferred no tie, but it was in the hand book and I had to obey it.
I went down stairs and saw Nami flipping her keys around in her hand; obviously she had been waiting for me. "Took you long enough," she said as she turned away from me and just went outside the house. I decided to follow and saw that her Corolla had a busted window for some reason. I also saw that there was smoke coming from the hood.
"Did I miss something Nami?" I asked her, eyeing her suspiciously. She walked over and opened the hood of the car, seeing that the engine was indeed fine but it was the hood itself that was smoking. "Why is the hood smoking? Did you do something to it?"
She sighed and put the hood down. "No, there's no way that could be it," she mumbled to herself quietly, but not quietly enough that I wouldn't hear her. She realized she had said that out loud and shook her head. "No, I didn't have a hand in this, but for some reason the hood isn't even hot." I cocked an eyebrow and put my hand on the hood, seeing that she wasn't lying. The hood was as cool as a cucumber.
"Should we just use the spare car?" I asked while walking backwards to the door. She ran right into my path and cut me off.
"No, I think it'll be fine as it is," she said almost nervously. If I didn't know her so well I'd say that she was scared of something. "Come on let's go." She kept pushing me to the car, but something felt off. It was probably just one of those feelings, but it felt like something important was going to happen. But to put it into better words, I'd say that it almost felt like I was on my way home, even though this was my home we were currently at.
"Is there something you're not telling me?" I asked, trying to stop her from pushing me and failing. As soon as those words left my mouth, a dark patch of clouds covered up the sun, and seemed to cut off all the light around.
"You have to be shitting me," she said, stopping her attempt to get me into the car. She turned to the cloud and yelled at it. "He's not ready yet. Now's not the time!" There was a thunder clap and she seemed to wince at it. She was acting uncharacteristic to how I usually knew her.
"Nami, what's happening?" I tried to say, but the words were cut off in my throat. I tried to make even a noise and it was failing entirely. What the hell is happening here? I thought as a big wind gust blew me back a bit. It somehow felt familiar though.
"It matters not if he is ready or not. His time is now," a raspy voice said. I turned around and saw what I guessed was a clown wannabe, but it had more the feel of a reaper.
"I don't care what you say. If you're taking him you'll have to take me to, and you know what they'll say about that," Nami said as she stood between the clown thing and me. Her ring glowed and a mace appeared out of nowhere.
"My job is only to transport him. If I must bring you as well, so be it," a door appeared behind him and opened, as a vortex began pulling the both of us in.
Nami tried to stay in place but the vortex pulled her in first. I tried running away, but it didn't seem to work at all. I was sucked into the void quicker than Nami was, but I heard the voice that had been haunting my dreams. The voice that came from that skeleton thing that was in the castle. "Let the games begin."

And that is. There is one last thing I found out that I want to ask you guys. Did you know a sequel to MAR was originally planned in 2006 after they had ended the original, but it was cancelled in 2010? I was trying to find out Ginta's last name and went to Wikipedia and searched MAR, when they told me there was a sequel planned called MAR Omega, but it the idea was cancelled in 2010. I really wish they had come out with that. I loved MAR so much and I actually had something like this planned a long time ago, but never carried through with it because it was something I worked on with my sis, but we never got past the making Arms part. But now I got something else. You guys probably won't get it until it actually happens. Well, that's it for this part. How about I go work on the next part, since the OCs aren't planned for until Chapter 2. Well, I'm going to end it off here then. Until next time my dear readers, ciaossu.
