A/N: Sorry for the wait everyone! I was having issues with my laptop the other night. Some of these events will be short. Sorry but my brain is on over hall for other school related projects.
I do not own Soul Eater or My Little Pony. If you get the referrence you'll know what I mean.
Enjoy!
Ch.9~ Friendly Competition
It was not long before the news of the competition got out across the city and around the Coven. Luna and Shinigami-sama were choosing the events while the students signed up. Business in the city had signed up their services. From what started as a small school competition was now a major city sports festival that was going to be broadcast across the world.
"Okay, we have the uniforms ordered. Several local businesses are planning on having stands and special going on during the event." Luna said checking off her list. "Shinigami-sama how did go from a small event to a city wide competition?"
"Oh come on Luna, have a little fun. Beside both our schools are splitting the costs and gaining something out of it. And the teachers are happy not to have deal with lesson plans. Everyone is excited. What is the Coven planning?"
"Since this is an event to promote unity between us Kyra has permitted for some of the witchlings to come and watch. A field trip for them before exams. Some of the other students have signed up for the events, they will arrive later tonight, don't worry about housing, they want to camp out apparently. Some business have gotten permission to set up a small bazaar outside the city. They will be selling protection charms and one stand of students from the Coven telling fortunes."
"Fortunes?"
"A teacher who instructs in fortune telling and blessings sees this as an opportunity for her students to get hands on experience."
"If all goes well we could make this a yearly event!"
"I hope so." Luna sighed as she sat down. "I have my apprentice running wild getting every thing set up in time."
"I didn't know you had an apprentice, have I met her?"
"Yes, it's Amora. Poor thing. Maka told me she didn't get in till one last night."
"Don't run my daughter raggard Luna!" Spirit said as he came in.
"WHAT WAS THAT?" Luna yelled in a threatening voice. Spirit instinctively ducked behind Shinigami-sama.
"I have the perfect scoreboard!" he whimpered.
"Where?"
"It's outside all set up."
Luna smiled. "So Shinigami-sama, you and me will be the announcers for all seven events."
"Seven events? Only seven?"
The adults turned to see Kid gawking. Chrona blushing, she had evidently been dragged to the Death Room to check on the progress of the competition.
"Yeah, we have to have an odd number just incase of a tie breaker."
"EIGHT IS BETTER!"
"EIGHT IS NOT POSSIBLE!"
"EIGHT IS THE BEST!"
Luna shrieked in anger. She summoned a spiked bowling ball in her hand and threw it at Kid. Chrona held up her hand and created a shield to shatter it.
Luna pouted. "Chrona don't ruin my fun."
"A spike ball is fun?" Chrona asked.
"It would have been." Luna pouted.
Kid took the opportunity to edge over to his father.
"You two are getting awfully chummy…please tell me you're not dating her."
Shinigami-sama laughed. "Why? Would you like her as a stepmother? I believe I'm too old for that though."
Kid blanched. "ARE YOU INSANE FATHER? WHO WOULD EVER IN THEIR RIGHT MIND WANT TO MARRY THAT CRAZY WOMAN?"
Lightning flashed and a shadow loomed over Kid. The look on the witch teacher's face would have sent Asura running in fear.
"What. Did. You. Say?"
"That…you're…uh…crap what rhymes with crazy?"
Kid's screams echoed through out Death City.
Opening Cermony
"Welcome to the first ever competition between the Coven and Shibusen.!"
"Welcome one and all! I'm Luna here with everyone's favorite Shinigami. We're your announcers for the events!"
Luna and Shinigami-sama stood in front of the school holding microphones. Behind them stood a large score board with a skull symbol on the left for Shibusen and an inverted star in a circle for the Coven.
"Looks like it's going to be a lovely day for this competition which will hopefully one of many. The competitors are getting ready for the kick off. To start the event two students, one from Shibusen and one from the Coven will run and light a torch."
"Yes sir, this is the flame of our alliance. Our futures is looking pretty bri-"
"GET OUT OF MY WAY!"
"YOU MOVE SLOW POKE!"
Luna glared and looked down from the podium to see who cut her off. Sure enough Twilight and Black*Star came pelting down the street with torches. They were running like gazelles neck and neck. When they reached the steps Black*Star shoved Twilight to get ahead. Twilight stumbled but then tackled the fellow loudmouth. Both torches flew up in the air and landed in the spot where they were supposed to.
"…"
"…"
Luna waved over one of the witches who was assisting her since Amora was competing.
"Uh… can you get me a coffee and some aspirin?" Luna said not even blinking as the two ninjas continued to fight.
"The usually nonfat mocha with extra shot of espresso?" the young witch asked pushing up her glasses.
"Yes." Luna said wincing.
"Make that two coffees." Shinigami-sama groaned as the fight was aired on the large screen behind them.
"LISTEN YOU BRATS! STOP FIGHTING OR ELSE YOU WILL BE DISQUALIFIED!" Luna hollered.
The two brats flipped her off. Luna roared and summoned lighting to strike them. Knowing she was on thin ice Twilight bolted into the crowd. Black*Star roared with laughter.
"SEE? EVEN YOU COWER BENEATH MY FEET?"
A cold chill cross over Black*Star. He turned as saw that Shinigami-sama was glaring at him.
"Going sir!"
Event 1- Speed Skating
"First event: Speed skating! Lets see who is competing!"
The score board flashed. The pictures of Maka, Liz, Patty, and Soul appeared on the screen for Shibusen. The screen flashed again showing Shirayuki, Shakira, Atlanta, and a teenage boy with droopy eyes and green hair.
"I didn't know there were boys at the Coven."
"What, did you think only girls could cast magic?" asked said boy in a husky German accent.
"Who are you?"
"Derek." the boy said as he skated in a circle around Liz. "My you are awfully cute for a filthy weapon."
"Try calling me that after I beat you!" Liz growled.
"Looks like the first event is going to be quite climatic." Luna said with a sweat drop as the two argued.
"Racers to the starting line!" Stein yelled. He was holding a green flag in one hand and a cigarette in the other.
Maka smoothly skated over. She loved skating. Soul was beside her with Patty and the two other witches.
"Since when can you skate?" Soul asked.
"A long time!" Maka said with a grin.
"OOH! LOOK AT MY LITTLE MAKA! ISN'T SHE SO CUTE WITH THOSE SKATES!"
"What the Hell? Spirit where did you come from and how did you get my mike?"
"You put it down after your fifth mocha."
"Who cares! Give me my microphone!"
"YOU KNOW HER MAMA AND I TAUGHT HER TO SKATE!" Spirit sang. "WE WERE SO PROUD! I HAVE PICTURES! DO YOU WANT TO SEE?"
"…SHINIGAMI-CHOP!"
Spirit cracked the announcer table in half as he fell. Luna wrestled her microphone away and cleared her throat.
"Sorry about that everyone. Let's get back to the competition. Looks like everyone is ready to start."
"MAKA!" Spirit screamed taking up a large portion of the camera focused on Luna.
Luna shoved him down.
"GO!" Stein said nonchalantly as he waved the flag. He walked away talking another puff of his cigarette as the skaters raced by.
"Looks like Maka and Liz are taking an early lead! Ooh! Shakira just push them aside! Now she's in the lead! No Shirayuki! Wait! Where's Patty?"
"Apparently she and Derek decided to turn this into a dance competition." Shinigami-sama sweat dropped as Patty and Derek skated arm in arm around the competition. They were doing figure eights and all sorts of crazy displays. A roar suddenly went up from the crowd.
"Wow! While Patty was showing us her dance moves Maka plowed through the track and took the first point for Shibusen!"
SHIBUSEN:1 COVEN: 0
Event 2- Skateboarding.
"Welcome to event number two! Competitors will compete in the eight mile long track of loops, rails and jumps."
The scoreboard flashed the faces for the race.
Shibusen: Death the Kid, Taichi, Kim
Coven: Amora, Haru, and Shakira.
"We have quite a match up here!"
"That's right Shinigami-sama. From all accounts your son Death the Kid is the favorite for this. Of course he's not using Beelzebub for this one folks. "
"That's right!" Shinigami-sama said holding up the magic skateboard.
Several students groaned.
"But Kid is still a devil on that board. How did he learn to skate so well?"
"Your guess is as good as mine. One day he's falling over and scrapping his knees, the next he's doing 360s and grinding down every rail in the mansion…"
"You must have been very proud."
"Well I was after we repaired all the damages." Shinigami-sama joked.
"Looks like their heading up to the ramp for the start. Coven's hope rides on Haru who is our version of Kid."
"Okay…does he have a fascination for symmetry too?"
"No."
"So how is he like you version of Kid?"
"He has OCD and a compulsion to clean. Once over the holidays he cleaned all the classrooms. He's also an ace on his skateboard!"
"…okay…Looks like our competitors are ready to start."
Little An was the started this time. She was sitting on Mizune's shoulders and waved her green flag screaming "GO!"
"HERE THEY GO FOLKS! KID HAS TAKEN QUITE A LEAD!"
"There is no need to shout into the microphones!" Shinigami-sama said as he winced from her amplified screams.
"THAT FLIP WAS SWEET!"
"Luna…"
"HARU PASSED…NO! KID PASSED HIM! THE GIRLS CAN'T KEEP UP!"
"…Luna…"
"KID WINS IT BY A MILE! LOOK AT THAT FOLKS! I NEVER SEEN SO MANY AWESOME TRICKS IN A SINGLE RACE!"
"SHINIGAMI-CHOP!"
Luna hit the table then sat up blinking. "Sorry what were doing? I think I dozed off there…"
"…"
"Are we at event five?"
"We just finished the second one…"
"Ohh…who won again?"
SHIBUSEN: 2 COVEN:0
Event 3- 500 Meter Swim
"Wow…the race didn't last a minute…"
"That's Shirayuki for you. She's a torpedo in the water…It's a good thing the concrete stopped her…"
"Looks like Shirayuki wins and gets the first point for Coven..."
SHIBUSEN: 2 COVEN: 1
Event 4- Bread Eating Race
"Oh…god…"
"I didn't know that was possible..."
"That poor bread…it didn't stand a chance against Atlantis…"
"Gone in a single bite…and the others…massacred…"
"Poor bread. We shall miss you."
"Uhh…Shibusen and the Coven are now tied." Spirit said peeking between the stunned immortals.
They both back handed him.
"Hush, we are in mourning for the bread."
"Poor bread…"
SHIBUSEN:2 COVEN:2
Event 5- Obstacle Course
"Event 5, and it's a tie right now. Who do we have competing?"
"For the Coven; Amora and Azumi."
"For Shibusen: Black*Star and…Chrona?"
"Chrona?" the adults said in wonder. They looked and sure enough Chrona was at the starting line with Black*Star.
"I didn't think that Chrona was much of a competitor." Kid said as his girlfriend looked over the obstacle coarse.
"Amora talked her into signing up." Maka said walking up. "I mean, she's always been flexible and has good agility."
"True." Kid mumbled as he watched.
The horn blared and the competitors took off. Black*Star was practically plowing through the hurtles while Chrona leapt over them with ease. Then came the hoops floating over the ground. Chrona reached them first and leapt through with a series of acrobatic tricks.
"LOOK AT THAT FOLKS! CHRONA IS IN THE LEAD! NO WAIT! AMORA IS CATCHING UP FAST!"
"Here comes the net wall."
"Chrona is flying up that net! Amora is not far…ooh! She passed Chrona!"
"Azumi and Black*Star are tied for third…now they're fighting on the net. Now they're tangled on the net…"
"Chrona is going head to head with Amora…."
"Someone get some a chainsaw!"
"A chainsaw?" the Shinigami exclaimed. He eyed the new coffee cup in front of the witch. He twitched at the logo. "You have been to Uncle Bob's?"
"RUMBA COFFEE!" a male voice screamed over the crowds.
"I HATE YOU BJ!" Shinigami-sama scolded.
"I LOVE YOU BJ! THANKS FOR INTRODUCING ME TO THIS LOVELY DRINK!" Luna screamed holding up her coffee cup.
"VIVA LA COFFEE!"
"VIVA!"
"….Chrona and Amora have made it to the homestretch…THEY'RE NECK AND NECK!"
"Looks like it's a tie. Just a moment while we look at the tape.
Chrona sat down on a nearby bench panting. Tsubaki came up to her with a bottle of water. Kid came over with Maka to congratulate her.
"You're really fast Chrona. It looks like that training you were doing with Amora is paying off."
"Training?" Kid asked in a puzzled voice.
"Well, remember Shakira said that Amora grew up on the original White Rose legend? I wanted to learn more. She had her original spell book. Her original attack spells need speed to be effective so…"
Kid nodded in understanding. He kissed her sweaty forehead making her fidget.
"CHRONA WON!" Maka suddenly screamed.
They all looked to see a still frame of Chrona racing Amora. Chrona passed her by just a few inches.
Chrona could only smile as Kid and Maka crushed her in a group hug.
SHIBUSEN: 3 COVEN: 2
Event 6- Motocross
"Looks like Soul is in his element for this one! Look at that boy go!"
"Tsubaki is not far behind him. Who knew the girl could ride? Wow! A wheelie!"
"Shakira is coming up fast!"
"She's good."
Luna began to hum.
"They're going over the sand dunes."
Luna's humming became louder then she burst out into song.
"Over hills and through the sand. To Grandmama's house we go~!" Luna sang.
Shinigami-sama twitched. It looked like Soul had won but then Shakira flew past him at the last minute doing a wheelie and cross the finish line.
Soul crossed the line and threw off his helmet. It looked like he was throwing a min-tantrum. He walked over to Shakira and shook her hand.
"Didn't know a girl could ride like that. We should race again."
"We'll see. Maybe if you teach my little sister to ride first."
"Deal." Soul said nodding.
SHIBUSEN: 3 COVEN: 3
Event 7- Wrestling
"This was…a bad idea…"
"Poor Nygus has her hands full…"
"We should have never let Spirit suggest this…"
"It wasn't me!" the Death Scythe exclaimed.
"Who was it then?"
"Uh…according to the authorization sheet…sir…you might want to look at this…."
"…Is that…"
"!"
"..."
"Sir?"
"…he didn't…."
"…."
"…Shinigami-sama?" Spirit asked as the personification of Death began to shake with amusement.
"KID!" Luna shrieked sending the two men fleeing in fear as lighting struck the table.
Somewhere down the street Kid looked around.
"Is something wrong?"
Kid looked back at Chrona and shook his head as they enjoyed a walk around the fair.
"Nothing…I though I heard someone yell my name, that's all."
Chrona shyly giggled.
SHIBUSEN: 3 COVEN: 3
Event 8- Relay Race
"Welcome to our last event! The relay race around Death City!"
"So far it's neck and neck. With that tie in the seventh event this will be our tie breaker."
"Event number eight…" Luna said with a sour tone.
"GLORY THAT IS THE NUMBER EIGHT!" you know who screamed.
"Shut up!" Luna yelled.
Shinigami-sama and Luna were now in a balloon floating over the city. "Here we are folks. Up in air looking over the race track. At four different points around the city the students are waiting to start."
"Soul and Atlanta the first racers, then Tsubaki and Shakira, then it's Black*Star and Atlantis. Finally it's Kid and Amora."
"Wait! I just got notice that there was a last minute substitution. Chrona will be replacing Soul in the race."
"I guess he hit his head in the last event."
"Well in respect he did break Derek's jaw. Then Patty kicked him. Who knew wrestling was so dangerous?"
"Anyway! Let's start the race!"
A young witchling stood with Rachel both holding the flag. They waved it in a swift movement.
"GO!" the two screamed.
"OH MY GOSH! CHRONA JUST PAST EVERYONE!"
"She has the stamina for it. Wait! Atlanta caught up. They've passed the batons!"
"Now it's up to Tsubaki and Shakira! It's no contest here. Tsubaki is good but Shakira seems to be a heck of a lot faster!"
"Despite the that set back Tsubaki has traded off with Black*Star. Good job!"
"YUP! LOOKS LIKE BLACK*STAR IS IN THE LEAD!"
"He's running his heat out isn't he?"
"He's the pick of the litter! The cat's pajamas!" Luna yelled.
"Ossu? Luna I think you've had too many of those mochas."
"THERE IS NO SUCH THING!" Luna screamed rocking the balloon. Shinigami-sama edged away.
"Too much was eleven…How has your hear not exploded from all that caffeine?"
"I have coffee blood!"
Shinigami-sama twitched then looked back at the race.
"It's down to Amora and Kid now. They are both running like gazelles down there!"
"YOU CAN DO IT AMORA! BEAT THAT RICH BOY!" Spirit yelled into the microphone at the judges table only to be slapped by Sid.
"Who's going to win?"
"AND IT'S…"
"IT'S…."
"AND SHIBUSEN WINS THE TROPHY! CONGRATULATIONS!"
A loud roar went over the city. Kid was cheering and kissed his girlfriend on camera. She blushed a deep red, ducking behind him as people wolf whistled at them. Atlantis and Atlanta approached with the trophy. They kissed Kid on the cheek, much to Chrona's dismay. But instead of handing him the trophy they shoved it into Chrona's arms.
They was a flash and a loud scream. Then an eerie laugh. When the light faded Chrona was gone.
Kid turned to the twin witches with fury in his eyes.
"WHERE IS SHE?"
"With the true sovereign."
"A new era has begun."
Before Kid could react Luna teleported in front of him.
"Traitors." she hissed in a venomous voice.
"You two are…"
"Agents of Black Rose."
Atlantis grinned as black vines seeped from her body. "Watch your tongue…you're speaking to your future Queen."
Luna smirked as her magic manifested. The sheer force of it dug into the street forcing Kid back. Her emerald eyes turned a sickly green.
"You should watch your tongue brat. You are only a witchling compared to me."
"Really? Atlantis and I killed Kyra last night."
Luna glared.
"What. Did. You. Say?"
To Be Continued…
