Due to money issues, I have been unable to get on the internet, so im really sorry for not updating. I never stopped writing the story, so ill have another chapter up shortly. Thanks for all your help and I look forward to making this a story to remember.
Chapter 5: Egg of the demon god: a road trip already?
The air was crisp, the sky was dark. No noise echoed off the walls, save for the tip-tap of footsteps of a woman returning home, tired from work. There was no one else around, and the woman walked at her own pace.
There was a slight scratching on a wall, and the woman stopped to turn. Seeing nothing, she shook her head, laughing at herself for her paranoid.
That's when it rushed at her. Tall and fat, something that seemed human rushed at her, with giant teeth waiting to bit into the petrified woman's flesh.
They never made their mark. Blade met stomach, and a shock-wave sent him crashing into a building with the force of a cannonball.
Tyler jumped in front of the woman. "I suggest you leave." He said. The woman didn't need telling twice, and made a dash for it.
"That was a decent soul force. Good thing you can fire them off, because I sure can't."
" Thanks, but I still don't understand how you can alter your own wavelength, but not generate soul force of your own." Iris said
"Meh, Who needs details?" Tyler said, shrugging. "Anyway, it's not dead. The blubber must of shield it somewhat,"
"Are you sure we should be fighting? We've had, what, one day of training?" Iris protested
"Oh, so you wanted to let that girl die?" Tyler asked.
"Of course not, but we could draw it to a more skilled fighter and-"
"-risk it getting bored of us." Tyler interrupted. "We're strong enough to take it down. It hasn't gotten to many, it looks to be fairly new. And besides, real combat is better than any training, right?"
"But our skill level..."
"Like I said: Details, who needs 'em?" Tyler said, focusing on the target. "It's not a question of can or can't. You simply do it. You with me?"
"...You're right. Ya, I'm with you." Iris said, and Tyler ran for it while it was getting up. "Kusari- Gama" He said, and she transformed.
Tyler ran past it, dropping one blade on the ground, and kept running. The chain tightened, and launched toward Tyler, catching the Egg in the leg and making it fall, making a gash in its leg as it did. The monster tumbled forward, rolling like a ball towards a wall. It stopped, changing it's direction, aiming at Tyler.
"that doesn't look to good." Iris said.
"No it doesn't." Tyler agreed. He looked at his surroundings, hooking one end of the kusari-gama to a lamp post, holding the other one, and stretching the chain out. The egg ran into it, it's rolled stooped by the chain. " Soulforce!" Iris shouted, and an electric spark pushed it back, the egg lying on the floor.
"Ninja-to mode!" Tyler said, rushing forward with a knife in his hand, jumping, and plunging it into the egg's chest. He jumped on the hilt as Iris let out another soulforce, causing the floor to have a dent in it. The egg glowed for a second, the transformed into a red soul.
"And that marks our first step on the stairway to our career!" Iris said, returning to human form. She walked over to the soul, and gulped it down. She clapped her hands. "Thank you for the food." She said
"Taste good?" Tyler asked.
"It tastes... warm, is the best way I can put it." Iris said. "At any rate, let's report to Lord Death in the morning. We're still in our party clothes too, and I want to change." She said
"Fair enough. Home it is!"
…
"Truth be told, I was already watching your fight" Death informed, later the next morning. "If you ha failed, I would have come to deal with it or sent a Meister too. But, I didn't have to. You did quite well."
"Thank you, Lord Death." Iris said.
"That's my boy!" Soul said, and Tyler rolled his eyes.
There was the sound of a door opening, and Girl and Kari walked in. "You called for me, Father?"
"I did. Girl, Tyler, you two show the most promise out of our newest Meisters. Girl, I know your skills well, and the Tyler and Iris team has already claimed a demon egg. You guys don't need the week of training. Tell them what they've won, Soul." Death said/
Soul gave Death daggers. "We're sending you two on a joint mission. You'll be accompanying me and Maka to Germany."
"Wow. International?" Tyler asked.
"Here's the details. We've learned from our branch there that there has been an unusually high amounts of Demon God Eggs being formed, along with the presence of something powerful, perhaps a witch. Soul and Maka's job is to wipe out this presence, It will be your jobs to claim the eggs of the weaker ones and, more importantly, investigate into the cause of it."
"Sound challenging enough for a starter mission. I like it. Kari?" Girl asked
"I'm up for it."
"We're in." Tyler and Iris said.
"Good. You'll leave after school. Maka has your tickets,m and money for as long as you made need to stay there... but I'm expecting receipts."
"Of course, Father." Girl said, rolling her eyes.
As the left, Girl said, "So, our first mission is a joint mission. Can't wait to see what you're capable of." She said to Tyler, then walked away
"Alright, so we go straight home and pack once school's out." Tyler said with a nod, looking happy.
"Don't lose focus of school." Iris pointed out. "Time will only go slow if you do"
"Good point. Back to class we go."
…
"WHAT!" Remiel said, eyes wide, and Iris grinned at him. "Why can't I go on a mission? That's not fair!"
"Oh shush." Iris said, holding in her laughter. "You'll go on one soon, I'm sure."
"I got beat by my sister..." Remiel said, kneeling in defeat, and Marisa sighed and shook her head, pulling him up by the ears. "But not if you don't push yourselves. We're going to spar If you can't land 20 strikes on me in 5 minutes, it's 200 pull ups." She said, and Remiel cursed under his breath
"When you get back, I'm going to spar you." Remiel promised.
"Count on it. We had better get moving. Knowing Girl, she's already packed."
…
Indeed, Death the Girl was already packed. She looked at her perfectly organized suitcase of clothes, and her lunchbox of drinks , and food for everyone, and nodded. "Perfectly clean." She said to herself in satisfaction. "How's it going over there?" She called out.
"I'm.. done!" Kari announced, coming out with a bag. "Are we ready to go?"
"I believe so." Girl said, walking towards the exit with her. Catching Liz, she waved, "We'll be back soon." She said, and walked out the door. Girl jumped up, landing with her Death Skates appearing. "Let's meet Maka and Soul at the airport." She said, skating off, Kari matching her stride.
She found them at the airport, and Maka waved to them as they approached. "It's nice to see you, Girl. This must be your partner."
"I'm Kari. It's nice to meet you." Kari said, and Maka returned the greeting.
She handed Girl an envelope. "Here are your tickets and 2 of DWMA's credit cards Keeping Spending to a minimum. " She said, looking around, finally spotting Tyler and Iris dashing towards them. "Your late, Tyler."
"Sorry, Mom." Tyler said, panting. "We ran to the house, then all the way here... I hope the plane has refreshments." He said
"Good thing I hadn't unpacked all m clothes yet." Iris said, also panting.
"Have a safe ride." Maka said, Soul laughed and clapped Tyler's shoulders. "Don't puke on the plane."
"You're not riding with us?" Girl asked. Maka shook her head, and Soul transformed into a scythe. Maka Took hold of it, and sat on it, floating. "Kid is being stingy with money, so we'll just fly along side you."
"Sometimes I just wanna strangle him." Soul sighed. " 'You can fly already so you need ticket's." He said, and kept muttering to himself.
"We'll get on board then." Tyler said, waving good bye to his parents and stepping on board, and was rewarded with a glass of Kool-aid from a flight attendant, and he gulped it happily, sighing in relief.
"We'll be in Germany in half a day... and they're planning on flying the entire time? I don't envy your Father." Kari said to Tyler, and he laughed at that.
