Chapter 2:
A Stroll through the Desert
When I woke up I had a major headache. It felt like my head was about to explode! I slowly opened my eyes, but to see nothing but darkness. Confused, I started to stand up, but the pain in my head was too great. I fell down to one knee, clutching my head, hoping the pain will pass.
"Well there, practicing proposing I see."
"What?" I said. I looked around but could not see anyone through the black shadows. "Who's there?"
"Don't you know anything about movies?" The voice sighed. "You never ask 'Who's there?'"
"Where are you? What are you?" I asked my voice slightly panicked.
"You'll know all in good time, Dylan." The moment he said my name it started repeating and echoing off the, what I presume to be, walls of the black room, if you could call it that. The voices started getting louder and louder! I covered my ears trying to block out the sound, but it wasn't working. The voices were pounding against my ear drums. It felt like they were about to bleed out and then everything went quiet. Like when you're listening to loud music and you accidentally pause it. Silence, utter silence.
"Dylan" My face started feeling hot and scratched up.
"Dylan!" The heat started growing more intense and the stinging pain in my face began to grow.
"DYLAN!" I threw up head up with my eyes wide open, which I soon regretted because the intense light surrounding me. Quickly I closed my eyes to prevent myself from being blinded anymore.
"Are you ok?" I lifted my hand over my eyes blocking the violent rays of the sun and opened my eyes a crack. Jonny was looking at me with concern and an outstretched hand. "Nightmare?" he asked.
"Yeah... I think." I said as I grabbed his hand. As he helped me up I noticed a lot of sand on my pants. I brushed it off, and then I saw where we were. Sand as far as the eye could see, devoid of life and plainly barren. "Where are we?"
"I have no idea." he responded. I looked around, now that my eyes had adjusted to the harsh light trying to find some sort of life or civilization.
"Geez, I don't see anything" I said. Then I heard Jonny gasp. I turned around toward him to see what the problem was, and then I gasped too.
"You're an anime character!" We both said. We both looked down at our hands and feet.
"Oh my God." We both said at the same time again.
"This is so cool!" I shouted hopping around excitedly.
"What the hell? I'm animated!" Jonny said looking kind of confused.
"Well, this all aside we should probably get moving or else we'll end up fried out here." I said calming down a bit.
"Right, let's head north" he said.
"Ok, which way is north again?" I asked sheepishly.
"That way" he sighed shaking his head, with a small smile on his face. We both set off in that direction, hoping that we could find civilization. We walked and walked for what had seemed hours with still no sign of life. My feet hurt, my head hurt. Hell, my entire body hurt! "Hmmm, how did we survive the plane crash! I thought to myself "Are we dead and in Limbo or something. Or is all this, the real afterlife, to wander aimlessly for eternity! No, no I can't afford to think like that, but how come we are anime characters? I don't think I heard anything about this after death. We must still be alive. We have to be."
"Dylan?" I was awoken from my thoughts. "Are you ok? You spaced out on me."
"Yeah, I'm fine" I said. "Just thinking about stuff."
"Oh, ok" Jonny said. We continued to wander north, again, for what seemed forever! The sun was baking down on us and my vision began to get blurry. And then I saw it glistening in the distance. A piece of Eden, lush, green and full of life! An oasis, it looked like our luck was finally starting to turn around. I ran towards it with arms open and a face full of joy. I slid to a stop just before the water's edge, dropped to my knees and scooped some of the glisteningly pure water into my hands. I moved my hands to my mouth and drank up the water. I never thought water could ever taste so good, so pure, so... dry, so hot, so rough. At that point Jonny caught up with me and saw me with a mouthful of sand.
"Uh, what are you doing?" I spat out the sand, before my mouth could get any drier, if it were possible.
"Uh, nothing." I said trying to hide the fact that I was hallucinating.
"Right." Jonny said in the 'I know what really happened' kind of tone. Again we started walking towards our destination. Although unknown to us someone was watching us.
"Interesting" said a cloaked figure "Very interesting."
"I'm hungry" Jonny complained as we continued to walk through the desert.
"You're always hungry" I responded tiredly.
"No, seriously I'm starving to death here!" he complained again.
"You're always starving to death" I said back, sweat pouring down my face. If it wasn't hot enough already, the sun was probably at its highest point. I really didn't know because I couldn't bring myself to look at it. "God, I am burning up." I said pulling at the collar of my T-shirt.
"Who's the one complaining now?" I was so tired and hot that I couldn't even respond. Then I started to hear it. It was quiet, but just loud enough to clearly hear it. A laugh, it was a deep, repetitive laugh. I looked around for whoever, or whatever, was laughing, but no one was there. I looked up at Jonny; he didn't seem to notice anything. "I must be hallucinating." I thought to myself. The laughing only got louder. Then, like a bolt of lightning it struck me. "Could it be? No, that's impossible!" I thought, "But it couldn't hurt to check." I looked up at the sky and I stopped in my tracks.
"What is it?" Jonny asked.
"I think we might be in-" I was interrupted by the earth shaking, like the floor of a rave party. "What was that?"
"An earthquake?"
"Maybe" Then something burst out of the sand and wrapped itself around Jonny's leg.
"Ahh! What the heck is this thing?" he shouted as it started pulling him under the sand.
"Dammit, Jonny!" I yelled as I dived and grabbed his hand. I planted my feet in the sand, pulling against whatever was attacking Jonny. I looked down at the thing, it looked like a worm; it was fairly large, grey and had bumps all over it. I kept on pulling and pulling until finally it released its grasp on his leg.
"Thank you" he panted.
"No problem" I panted back. Then, there was another earthquake. "Stay on guard for whatever that thing was!" We stood there silently without moving a muscle.
"Ok I think it's gone" I said after a while of standing still. Then from behind us, there was a huge explosion of sand. We both turned around to see what was happened. We should have just run, because behind us was a giant worm, sharp looking teeth and small little eyes. I leaned over to Jonny, being careful not to move my feet, and whispered in his ear "Run?"
"Run." He whispered back and we took off. The giant worm just let out a humongous roar and buried itself back in the sand a chase after us. We just kept on running and then, on the horizon, a large rock, with a flat surface appeared. It looked big enough to fit the both off us and hard enough to stop this monster in its tracks.
"Jonny that rock over there!" I yelled pointing towards the distance.
"Yeah!" He shouted back. We both ran as fast as we could towards the rock. Jonny got to it first and started to climb. I was still a couple of meters away from the rock before Jonny got there. I decided to sneak a peek at where the monster was. It was pretty much right behind me! I didn't have the time to climb up the rock, I had to jump. I was about five meters away from it and I felt the sand moving behind my heels. "I guess I'll have to try my luck." I thought to myself. I jumped with all my might toward the rock, hoping that I would catch an edge with a good grip, but I didn't, I missed the rock by a hair just as the monster burst out of the sand. I began to fall toward the open mouth of the worm. Then suddenly I stopped falling, I looked up and it was Jonny. He was laying flat on his stomach, hold my arm. He pulled me up just in time because the monster smashed "face" first into the wall of the rock and fell to the sand unconscious. "We're even now" Jonny said lying on his back, trying to catch his breath.
"Yeah, thanks!" I said also on my back. We stayed like that for a couple minutes until Jonny noticed something.
"What the hell is that?" He shouted jumping to his feet. He pointed to a large round rock in the sky. It was covered symmetrically in cone shaped spikes, but that wasn't the creepy part. It had a face, an actual face! Its mouth was wide open laughing and staring down at us.
"Oh, that's the sun." I replied calmly. "And if you think that's creepy wait 'till you see the moon!"
"What do you mean, the sun?" Jonny shouted back, "Last time I checked the sun didn't have a face!"
"Oh well, how do I put this?" I said pausing to think, "We're in an anime, Soul Eater to be more precise"
"What?"
"I don't know how or why, but we're in the world of Soul Eater, the sun proves it!" Then I heard the sound of an engine. "Do you hear that?" I asked.
"Yeah, that engine sound! That means someone is coming! We're saved!" Jonny said happily. We both turned toward the sound, to see an all too familiar motorcycle.
"Yup, we're definitely in Soul Eater." I said looking at the two people riding the motorcycle.
"Why?" he asked looking at the people as well.
"Because those people are the main characters." They pulled up to the rock just as we climbed off. The two teenagers got off the bike and walked up to us.
"Who are you and why are you out here in the desert?" asked the girl. She had blond hair, in a pig tails style. She wore a long black coat with a tie, white dress shirt and vest underneath, as well as a pair of large black boots. She also had emerald green eyes.
"Oh, uh, my name is Dylan and this is my friend Jonny, as for or other question I have no idea we just kinda woke up here." It was then I noticed, I was tall for an anime character and Jonny was even taller. We stood probably a head taller than both of them.
"That seems a bit fishy to me." said the boy standing next to the girl. He had paper white hair, held back by a headband with the words "SOUL" and "EAT" on it. He also wore a yellow and black sweater, with red pants and black and yellow shoes. His eyes were blood red, giving him a kind of scary look, but that was the worst part. His teeth looked like he had replaced all of them with shark teeth.
"No, we're serious" Jonny said trying to hide his nervousness, "We've been walking through this desert for hours! And then we almost got eaten by this giant worm thing!"
"Giant worm?" said the girl, "Do you know where it is now?"
"Yeah, it's behind the giant rock." I said point with my thumb over my shoulder towards the rock that saved our lives. The two of them cautiously made their way around the boulder. When they got around they couldn't believe their eyes. The giant worm, lying there unconscious.
"You guys did this?" said the girl, with her jaw on the floor.
"Well not really, it was more the rock than anything" Jonny said.
"Well then, this just makes our job a whole bunch easier" said the girl, "I'm Maka by the way and this is Soul."
"Nice to meet you" I said with mixed emotions of excitement of meeting two of my favourite anime characters and fear of knowing what they can do. "Would you guys mind letting us hitch a ride?"
"Well, the bike only seats two people-" Maka couldn't finish talking before Soul cut her off.
"Sure you guys can come, it's not like "little" Maka could take up that much room seeing as-" This time Soul was cut off, by a book smashing into his skull, via Maka.
"MAKA CHOP!" She shouted as the book left a fairly large indent in his head. "I'm not even gonna let you finish that sentence! But yes I guess we could fit you guys on the bike." Jonny was now looking confused, scared and grateful at the same time. Soul picked himself off the ground rubbing his head and we all made our way towards the motorcycle.
"Ok you two will ride on the back." Soul stated. "Rock, paper, scissors or something for whoever gets to sit on the seat." Jonny and I rock, paper, scissored until the winner was decided. And of course with my luck I got stuck with clinging on to Jonny in hopes that I wouldn't fall off with the little room I had. Then after what seemed forever I saw something in the distance. I pulled myself up a bit closer to Jonny.
"We're really are in Soul Eater." I whispered in his ear as we drove into Death City.
