Arc Angel chapter 4: finding a partner
Still fixing issues with chapter one but so far so good
Kai was now looking for a partner after Death had allowed him to enroll despite the policy he went through a few candidates but most were either not able to maintain a suitable resonance link or not available by the end of the school day he felt exhausted so Death told him to stop for the day head to the dorms where he would be staying.
Kai decided to head to the dorms to drop of his things then go buy something to eat since he had skipped lunch.
The dorm room itself was nothing special, it had a bed a dresser and a small desk for school work Kai quickly unpacked what few belongings he had (some clothing, family keepsakes etc.)
And then headed out to the cafeteria.
1 hour later
After he had demolished a bowl of ramen he decided to explore death city to make himself familiar with the area.
'this place is like a maze from the ground it was a lot easier to know when I was on the the rooftops.' He was about to head back to the dorms when he heard a familiar voice.
"C'mon girly a soul would really help me get stronger, don't you want to help uncle Freddie."
He then heard another voice but this one sounded younger and feminine.
"You can have my soul when you kill me, if you can kill me."
Kai turned the corner to see what was going on he was surprised to see Freddie cornering a girl who looked to be about twelve years old, she was quite small and she had a Tom boy style outfit on which consisted of slightly torn jeans a white vest that had the sleeves torn off and a white baseball cap worn backwards she had black hair and pale skin and upon closer inspection Kai noticed that her eyes where white...was she...blind?
Kai stepped out from behind the wall quietly so he would not alert Freddie the girl didn't seem to notice and got into a boxing stance
Freddie laughed "you really think you can fight me?" as he continued to laugh Kai moved in behind him " Maybe with some help" he answered striking him to the floor with a right hook "Run!" he said to the girl her eyes narrowed "No way I'm backing down this guy needs to be taught a lesson!" Kai sighed as he saw he had no choice but to fight he got into a kick boxing stance while the girl got into a martial art stance he was unsure of what it was that made her think she could fight him due to her size and lack of sight.
Freddie had finally registered who it was that had hit him "You... Your the bastard who nearly destroyed my hand yesterday, but it looks like shadows arent exactly an option now that the suns out" he smiled "now let's have some fun!" he rushed at the girl as Kai stepped in front of her "stay behind me he said while forming the holy gauntlets. The first few slashes made contact with the gauntlets stoping any harm to Kai's arm Freddie jumped back surprised that Kai's arms had not been torn to shreds "What the hell are you!" he growled
Kai composed himself cracking his nuckles "A miester who Hates guys that fool around with little girls" said girl stepped forward from behind Kai "And I'm not just a 'little girl' that needs protection" She said "I can handle this my self!"
With that she turned her arm into a large blade
and charged at freddie, she swung twice missing both swings Freddie laughed striking the blade arm the girl fell back hard her teeth clenched in anger and frustration Kai stepped forward once again swinging the gauntlets at freddies head Freddie dogged them by jumping back he wasent taking chances with the gauntlets after what happened the first time.
He swung cutting along Kai's upper left arm, it immediately started to bleed.
"c'mon man your gonna stain one of only shirts."
Kai said with a mocking grin spreading across his face as he griped his arm to stop the bleeding.
He looked towards the girl "If your a weapon then change into it, I could use some help." he held out his hand, The girl hesitated a second before placing her hand in his and changing it into a handle while the rest of her body changed into a large single edged blade with what looked like a exhaust vent near the hilt (The Red Queen DMC 4) Kai rested her on his shoulder "now then let's see what we can do." he swung down breaking freddy's block then lifted the blade swinging upwards creating a large wound across freddy's chest as well as reopening the claw wounds from before, he yelled in pain beginning to run.
Kai started to run after him "Turn the handle below my blade!" the girl said Kai did as she said and was propelled forward by the blade itself which was acting as an engine, this allowed Kai to get close enough to deliver the finishing blow slicing through Freddy's torso.
The body then turned into a soul while the girl changed back to he human form "We did it!" she exclaimed happily almost jumping up and down with excitement, Kai grabbed the soul handing it to the girl "Will you do the honors."
Without a word the girl at the soul sighing afterwards "Thanks for the grub" she said smiling "My name is Toph by the way"
"My name is Kai it's nice to meet you" he said But before he could say anything else she asked
"What was that power you were using?"
"That was the holy gauntlet it..."
"No need to explain how it works I already saw"
"No offense to you but how can you see anything." Kai waved his hand in front of her face
"nock it off" she swatted Kai's away "I see with soul wavelengths"
Kai was surprised "I thought only misters could do that!?"
"I know but apparently that's not the case, souls release wavelengths all the time most bounce of objects which allows me to see."
"Cool... Well I better get this patched up"
"Wait why don't you come with me we I can get bandages from the girls dorm"
"Sure"
"ok follow me"
They walked in silence for a couple minutes,
Kai was still holding his wound to slow the bleeding, it was pretty deep and he said it did not hurt.
"So who is your miester?" he asked breaking the silence
"I don't have one. I've been here for over a year but no one has been able to wield me, so far I think I've shocked 5 miesters and burnt 3 more your pretty much the first to successfully resonate with me."
"Well I could use a partner and you seem to be a great weapon."
Excitement shot through Toph "You don't don't have a partner ether!?"
Kai reached out his hand, a smile spreading across his face"nope... so what do you say, partners?"
"Yes sir" Toph responded shaking his hand with a grin
They continued walking both happy about there new partnership
"it's gonna be great fighting with a partner I was tired do trying to go solo"
"You went solo?"
"Yea for about 3 months Iv been in the E.A.T class but I've only collected 1 soul... Today's"
"I'm sure we can fix that based on how we fought today"
They two arrived at the girls dorms Kai waited in the lobby while Toph got a first aid kit.
While Toph returned with another girl to help dress his wounds she introduced herself as Kim, afterwards he thanked Kim and agreed to meet Toph the next morning at the entrance of the school the next day to report to lord death about there partnership.
