Hi everyone! I'm Starglade and this is my first FanFiction!
Now you're all probably wondering about this crazily random crossover but the logic is simple. I love Transformers, and I recently finished the first thirteen episodes of Soul Eater and loved them all, and then, like peanut butter and jelly I mushed the two together to create an awesome combination. Creative criticism is very appreciated though flaming is not.
I don't own Transformers or Soul Eater but the character Mackenzie Starkweather belongs to me.
The clouds moved across the bright blue sky on the office's walls, only periodically interrupted by the windows that seemed to float in mid-air. Death stood, staring into that mirror that was one of the very few decorations in the room, and what a magnificent mirror it was. As tall as he was it was incredibly ornate and held a practical use besides the obvious, his students, Meisters and Weapons, could contact him through it. Now though, it only reflected his, somewhat childish, skull-like face that revealed none of the tension that haunted his mind currently. His academy, though great it was, was losing students and not enough had been recruited or joined to fill their places. The students had either left-having graduated and gone on to hunt Kishin Eggs on their own- or died during missions they simply weren't ready for. Already he had found as many new students as he could around the world and only managed to create one Academy as so few were blessed with the skills to become Weapons or Meisters. He would have to look even harder, send out more scouts, and find some better way to locate these people that the world so desperately needed. They were so hard to find though! An untrained Meister or Weapon, unless studied very closely, would appear to have a soul of a normal human.

The small herd of deer lifted their heads in alarm and pricked up their sensitive ears. Only faintly the soft crunching of leaves and twigs could be heard, and even softer, the breathing of a teenage girl as she carefully descended the steep slope down to the creek behind her house. Quickly, the animals fled leaving only their footprints as any sort of sign that they had been there. She quickly leapt onto the level sand beneath her feet, unaware of the animals that had been there before her, and started off along the bed of the creek. Her blue-gray eyes scanned the gritty sand and gravel bank for fossils or other strange trinkets that she might bring back home to show her mother. She stepped from stone to stone, not missing a single stride as she crossed to the other side, blissfully unaware of the time that was passing swiftly along with the setting of the sun. Even more unbeknownst to her were the unsettling red eyes that peered down from the treetops waiting for the right time to begin the hunt.
"Power…." It murmured softly, "more….power….."
Thinking that she heard something, the girl looked up into the treetops but her eyes only met the bright undersides of the green leaves in the canopy. Feeling a little more than unsettled she began her short trek back home, hoping to get there before the sun set and she was left in the darkness near the running water. With each step she took paranoia began to set in. Was it her feet making the gravel crunch like that? It shouldn't be that loud. Was it just her or did she feel someone's breathe hot on her neck? I just looked, no one is there. What is that strange noise, like metal on rock? And what was that strangely metallic scent in the air? Could it be blood? Blood has a lot of iron in it….
Taking one last look behind her to make sure no one was there, she saw nothing, and one more look at the sun that was halfway set over the horizon, she ran. The hunt had begun. A figure dropped down in front of her as fast as a falcon in mid-dive and she bounced off of it roughly. Turning over she gasps as she lays eyes on the creature, though it looked human the differences made sure to erase all of that thought. On its face was a mask with a horrid smile painted onto it, its back legs were warped and twisted around and ended in a single metal claw. The two front legs also ended in scythe-like appendages. The girl tried to stand as saliva dripped down from behind the smiling mask and the creature, the monster, murmured promises of power to itself.
She stood slowly, the monster's head moving to follow her movements. Her heart was beating fast, so fast. The monster started to circle, the last rays of the sun disappeared behind the Earth. She turned to follow the monster's pacing, she couldn't lose focus now. If she were to look away for only one second it would leap and tear her to shreds. The monster decided pacing and circling would do no good and leapt, the claws of the beast from below reflecting the heavens above. Time seemed to slow as she dove and rolled under the beast; she kicked upwards towards its vulnerable belly and in that moment something clicked. For only an instant she could have sworn that swirling blue flames combusted from her foot and sent the beast flying a tremendous distance.
Death raised his head suddenly. The sensors that he had placed out around the world to detect Meisters and Weapons, one of them had gone off. Yes, he could detect the energy now, a young untrained student just waiting to enter his Academy.
"Deathscythe!" He called, "We've got a new recruit on our hands~"
The red-haired Weapon nodded and went to join his Meister as Death summoned a portal and teleported to his destination.
The girl looked in shock at the damage that she had done to the beast. It hadn't moved since she kicked it. Was it dead? Maybe just playing opossum until she went to check on it... That was when it would kill her. Suddenly blinded, she cried out as two figures stepped out of a purple portal that appeared to her side. When she looked again she found herself mistaken, instead standing there was a very strange black clothed figure with a cartoonish skull mask on. In his hand was a large and rather menacing looking scythe.
"WASSAP!" The skeletal figure cried out, making a peace sign with one of his over-sized hands.
For a moment the girl thought she saw a figure in the scythes reflection that looked like it was sighing. She looked from the figure, to the monster and back. Tentatively, she stood.
"D-Death?" She asked.
"Why yes! That's me! It seems my reputation precedes me!" He chuckled, good naturedly.
"Th-that thing…." She said, a thought suddenly entering her head, "did that thing kill me? Is that why you're here? D-did it happen just that quickly?"
"Oh no no no NO! My dear girl, you are very much alive I assure you." He said, patting her on the head. "I'm here for a different reason altogether! If you'll wait patiently for just a teensy weensy moment I'll explain!"
He pointed the scythe towards the creature and an invisible blast of energy raced towards it and it was destroyed. The monster exploded into a black mass before leaving behind a glowing red, orb-like object. Death glided over and snatched it out of the air and seemed to put it into an unseen pocket. Returning to the girl, the scythe transformed into the figure of a man and stood patiently as Death spoke.
"You, young one, are now receiving an invitation to join my Academy." He said happily.
"A-academy? What Academy?" She stuttered.
"Why, to become a Meister of course! I can already tell that by reading your soul."
Suddenly she started to remember a familiar show and everything started to make sense.
"Wait! Is this like that show? Soul Eater?" She blurted.
"Ah! You watch the show? Then this will make things much easier then!" Death clapped.
"But it's just a show…but…you're all real?" She asked in awe.
"Oh it's just one of my cleverer ploys, I made the show myself. If my recruits watch the show then they usually adapt to the situation quicker and with a better attitude and less confusion. You know, integrate the public!" He explained. "Now." He stated suddenly, handing her a card. "At midnight tonight when your parents are sleeping go to a mirror and trace this number into it and say the incantation. I'll send a portal for you and we can start trying to find your Weapon and get you enrolled!"
"But….what about my normal school?"
"That won't be a problem! I'll handle everything, school, parents, friends, whatever needs to be handled!" And he was gone in a flash of purple light.
"…I really hope that Death can handle these things without scaring them to…well….death…"
"Oh!" Death reappeared. "Silly me! I didn't even get your name!"
"Mackenzie….Mackenzie Starkweather"
"Good! Now Mackenzie, remember, enrollment is at Midnight!"
