~Forest of Lost Souls~
Stein and Kid were discussing the best way to scope out the area when they hear a scream.
"What was that?!" Patty said as she looked for the source.
"Someone's in the forest!" Kid yelled. Manifesting his skateboard, Kid called, "Liz! Patty!"
"Right!" they said as they transformed into twin pistols. Kid grabbed them and hovered above the tree line. "Professor! There's a clearing about a quarter mile in! I'm going on ahead."
Stein nodded and adjusted his screw before saying, "Got it. Let's go Spirit."
"Just like old times!" Spirit said as he transformed into a scythe. Stein grabbed him and rushed through the trees as Kid raced along with them above the trees.
~Death The Kid's P.O.V.~
As I reached the clearing, I saw a large group of Kishins and a girl fighting them alone. I watched as she took down two with one blow. 'Amazing,' I thought, 'she's powerful.' The girl turned, revealing her face and her scythe blades. I froze, she was perfect! Completely symmetrical! She had just taken down another Kishin when she was struck from behind.
Stein had just entered the clearing as I hopped off my board with my weapons.
"What's going on here? Who's she?" Stein asked as he began slicing Kishins with Spirit. I turned to Stein, shooting down two in the process, "I don't know! She was fighting them when I got here, but one of them knocked her out."
"Kid! One's gonna get her!" Liz shouted from my hand. I spun around at an inhuman speed and fired Patty, hitting the Kishin directly in the heart, "Got it!"
"Kid! Take her back to the village! I'll finish up here." Stein said as he took down another Kishin, then faced the last two.
'She won't make it to the village,' I thought, 'she needs help NOW.' I turned to where he was standing and fired my weapons at the Kishins, hitting and killing Both with one shot each.
"She needs help NOW Professor! She won't make it to the village unless we do something!" I shouted to him. "Liz, Patty, we're going to need your help."
The girls and Spirit changed back as Stein and I looked over the strange girl.
"You're right Kid, her injuries are pretty bad." Stein said, concern seeped into his voice but his face remained emotionless, "I'll patch her up best I can, but we should go straight back to the D.W.M.A."
I nod, "Patty, Liz, you go back with Spirit to the village and explain why we didn't return with you. You shouldn't have any more problems with the villagers." As I picked the girl up bridal style, I motioned to Stein, "Let's go."
He nodded and pulled out a small mirror and wrote with his finger as he said, "42-42-564, whenever you want to knock on Death's door." The mirror rippled as if made of water, and my father appeared on the small screen.
"No time for formalities father. We need you to open a portal now! I'll explain later." I practically shouted as his face appeared. He nodded and Reaper chopped the mirror, opening a portal to the D.W.M.A.
"How he's able to rip through time and space I will never know," Stein mumbled as he followed me through.
~Time Skip: D.W.M.A.~
It's been three hours since Stein went in to operate on the girl. Three hours of pacing, wondering if she'll survive.
"Kid! Sit down! We're all worries about her, but making a rut in the floor won't help." Shiori Yakuza, the school nurse, said as she sat me down. I sighed and put my face on my hands, "I know, I shouldn't be this worried about a girl I just met. But, it just she's so..." I racked my brain for the right word, "symmetrical." Shiori laughed and shook her head, 'Kid and symmetry,' she thought.
The light above the operating room went out, signaling the end of the surgery. Professor Stein walked out, covered in blood. He walked past us without a word and sat in his chair, sighing. I rushed over and slammed my hands on his desk, startling him.
"Well?! Is she alright?!" I shouted in concern. Stein looked at me calmly and twisted the screw until it clicked.."The surgery went well. Although her injuries were severe, she should be awake in a few hours."
I let out a breath that I didn't know I was holding, as I sank to my knees, relieved.
"She's in the infirmary now. I think it would be best if you were there when she woke up, you did save her after all." Shiori said, smiling. I nodded and followed her to the room.
I gasped when I saw her. She was laying in the bed, bandages wrapped around her head and covered one of her eyes. The white gauze snaked around her torso as well.
"Whoa," a voice said from behind me, "she's pretty banged up Kid."
I turned to find Liz and Patty in the doorway.
"Yeah, Stein said her injuries were severe but she should wake up in a few hours." I told them.
"Well, you should get some sleep Kid. You've been up all night," Liz stated as she places her hand on my shoulder. I nod, and head towards the cord Shiori had set up for us. I laid down and closed my eyes, 'I'll just rest my eyes for a few minutes,' I thought before I drifted into sleep.
~Time Skip 2 Hours~
I shot up, falling out of the cot. Someone was screaming, I rush toward the infirmary; where Liz, Patty, Stein and Shiori were standing, awestruck. I looked in the room to see my father unconscious on the floor and a dent in the ceiling. The girl was staring at us (me?), fear and confusion shown on her face.
~(Y/N)'s P.O.V.~
I awoke in darkness, body aching and stiff. I tried to move but pain wracked my body.
"So this is the new arrival who's causing all the commotion!" my eyes shot open at the sound of the strange voice. A black mass with a white mask was hovering above me. Screaming, I punched it with all my strength, sending it flying into the ceiling.
I look up from the black mass lying on the floor to see two blonde girls wearing identical outfits. The taller one was staring at me as if what I had just done was amusing, while the other was giggling. A gray haired man with a screw in his head and a stitched up lab coat looked at me as if I was an experiment. Beside him stood a familiar looking woman with short choppy brown hair, dressed in pants and a blouse with a blue ribbon around her neck, looking at me in shock. But the one who caught my attention was the young man who had just burst through the small crowd. His hair was disshevled and his outfit was wrinkled, making it obvious he had just woken up like me. It wasn't fear, amusement, shock, or anger I saw in his eyes; but pure amazement at what he saw.
'Who is he?' I immediately thought. I shook my head, 'I can find out later.'
"Um, where am I?" I asked to no one imparticular, while I kept my eyes on the strange striped haired boy, waiting for an answer.
