Hey guys! Here's the next chapter, I'll be releasing more soon. In the middle of writing the next :) Also, because I love writing in Cloud's POV, the majority of this will be from his POV. Unless you want to specify anything, dear readers :') Disclaimer: I do not own Final Fantasy VII, Soul Eater, or anything accossiated with either one. I do, however, own the plot of this story.
Maka's POV"Hey Maka, don't just sit there! Come and play!"
"Yeah, you can read later! "
"It'll be fun~"
I could hear the calls of my friends as I sat on the bench in front of the basketball court, reading a really good book. Why couldn't they just leave me alone? I just ignored their calls and buried myself further into the bench.
Now, everyone was surrounding me.
"Don't be such a nerd, you can join my godly winning team!" said Black*Star. He was looking down on me with a huge grin. I gave him one of my famous Maka-Chops.
"Owww, what was that for?" he said, rubbing his spiky blue hair. Black*Star was a very energetic boy, which was far different from his kind and calm weapon partner Tsubaki, whom at this moment was trying to calm him down.
"Is everyone just going to sit there, or shall we play?" This came from Kid, a child reaper topped with black hair that had three horizontal white stripes on the left side of his hair. His weapon partners, Liz and Patty, flanked each side of him.
"Yeah, this is totally un-cool" Just like my partner, Soul, to say.
Sighing in defeat, I rose to my feet and we began to play.
Cloud's POV"Oof!"
I felt my body thudding onto…pavement? I could have sworn I was being flung towards the sky…
I glanced around. What I saw was not dark grey clouds, but a clear blue sky in a peaceful city.
I still had my sword, materia; all my wounds were healed…
Okay, what the hell is going on!?Having no idea where I was or where I was supposed to go, I decided to explore.
Damn it Sephiroth, where the hell did you send me?
I heard children's laughter. Planning on asking them what this place was, I started forward.
Wait a minute, I can't just waltz up to them and ask where I am. Or tell them I'm from another world. What the hell are you thinking, Cloud?I didn't have anything to lose, so I continued walking.
Kid's POVI watched as Tsubaki sunk in another goal. Who knew someone so kind and gentle could be so athletic? Suddenly the ball rolled to my feet. I bent down to pick it up.
Wait a minute.One shoelace was bigger than the other! I cannot stand for this! Kicking the ball to the side, I bent down to fix them.
"Hey Kid, your shoelaces can wait!" shouted Liz.
No they cannot!I ignored her and went off to the side, so I could get them just right.
As I sat there on the side, I noted a strange, powerful presence coming our way. My two-toned golden eyes narrowed as I strained to figure out who
it was.
"…a witch?" I mumbled.
Instinctively I got into a defence position.
"Hey, is something wrong Kid?" Maka was looking at me, her green eyes filled with worry.
"Can you sense that, Maka?" I asked her, still focusing on the presence.
She looked in the direction I was focusing on, eyes narrowing in concentration. Suddenly her eyes widened.
"What power…could it be a witch?"
"I thought so too, but it doesn't feel evil. It feels…strange. They're coming this way, so we'll find out soon enough" I glanced towards the others, who had begun to take notice of what was going on.
"Guys, stay on your guard!" I ordered.
"Whoever it is, they won't stand a chance against a big star like me!"
Guess who that came from.
I just sighed and continued to concentrate on whatever that power was, when suddenly, someone came into the clearing. He was tall, topped with short, spiky, bright blonde hair. He looked very strong and fairly built, wearing purple fighting clothes and… armour on only one shoulder and a sword tipped to one side!
"…hideous" I scowled.
He just looked at me in confusion.
Cloud's POVAs I walked into the clearing, I was greeted with seven kids looking at me like I just killed someone.
One of them, who had stripes in his hair, gave me a death glare and mumbled "…hideous"
Are they looking at someone else? Not likely, but just in case I glanced back. No one.
So what the hell?
Deciding to break the silence, I stepped forward. They all immediately took a step back.
"Uhh, hey guys"
Silence.
"The name's Cloud. I'm kinda' lost. Can you tell me where this is?"
This loosened them up a bit, and a girl with sandy blonde hair tied into two pigtails spoke up.
"Hi there, I'm Maka, and this is Death City."
Death city? Sounds pretty dreary. Well, probably not as much as Midgar…I must have looked confused, because she spoke up again.
"It's named after Lord Death. Where are you from? Maybe he can help you"
"Lord Death? And that's none of your business."
"Is there anything we can do to help?" This came from a tall girl with a long black ponytail.
"Well, I'm kinda' stuck here and I don't know how to get back to where I came from"
"Where exactly did you come from?" interrogated the guy with the striped hair.
"I already told you, that's none of your business."
"Then how are we supposed to help you?"
This was getting me nowhere.
"Hey Kid" said an attractive girl with long brown hair. She was referring to the guy with the stripes in his hair but…was Kid really his name?
"Why don't you take him to Lord Death? He should know what to do."
That name again.
"Okay, who the hell is Lord Death?" Maybe I shouldn't have sworn, but this was getting me nowhere and I was getting impatient.
"No need to swear. Swearing is un-cool," said a guy with spiky silver hair. Who made him the expert on cool?
"I'll take you to Lord Death. The rest of you, stay here" said Kid.
"No way, a big star like me isn't gonna stay here!" boasted a short kid with spiky blue hair. He was saying something about surpassing God.
What did I get myself into?"Kid, we're all going to go." Maka said. She then whispered something to him that I didn't quite catch, and his face changed to one of understanding. Turning to the others, he spoke;
"Very well then, you all are welcome to come." He then proceeded to introduce everyone.
"Cloud, this is Liz," he pointed to the attractive, brown haired girl, "her sister, Patty," a girl with short blonde hair, and a huge grin framing her face, "Black*Star," the kid was still boasting something about surpassing God, "Tsubaki," the one with the long black ponytail, "Soul," a boy with crimson eyes and silver hair, reminding me of some sort of demon, "Maka," the one who first introduced herself to me, "and me, Death the Kid." Death again? First Death City, then Lord Death, and now Death the Kid? I'm beginning to feel like my death is going to occur here…
"It's nice to meet you!" said Tsubaki with a grin. I nodded and forced one back, probably looking more like a smirk than anything else. All I needed was to get back, and these idiots probably wouldn't be of any help. Hopefully that Lord Death guy can do something about this. I just sighed and began to follow Kid, the rest trailing behind me.
Enjoy? Tell me what you think! :)
