Hello peoples this is the last chapter of The Battle of Jetty City. A New Kishin Rising? Its really just a wind up, nothing much. Next week i will be posting my version of Crona's poem or an extended version of Leaves from the Vine from the Avatar: The Last Airbender. After that I will be posting a sequel to this. It mostly focuses on Ches and Gwen learning how to fight it was originally supposed to be a one shot but it became a three shot.

And with that I give you the conclusion of The Battle of Jetty City. A New Kishin Rising?
Chapter 10 - Titles
Ches and Soul were rudely awakened the next morning from their improvised beds made from the living room couch, Maka and Gwen came downstairs shouting for them to wake up from Gwen's room where they had slept the previous night. The sleeping arrangements were agreed upon with the threat of Maka's new book hovering over Soul's head.
After waking up the group started looking around again for food and supplies. It was going to be a long walk home without a train moving at express speed. Once the three weapons had gathered enough supplies to satisfy Maka they left town heading out into the desert. Maka had made turbans for the four of them out of some bed sheets to keep the sadistic sun off their heads.
After three days of traveling they saw what looked to be a giant ant hill in the middle of the desert with thousands of ants crawling all over it.
"What is that?" Gwen asked, shading her eyes with her hand.
"That, Gwen, would be the DWMA's new train, freshly wrecked." Maka sighed.
"Dang, how the heck did you manage to do that?" Gwen turned to Maka.
"Actually, Gwen, we wrecked it by running it full throttle straight into your soul wavelength." Ches said.
Gwen turned back to look at the wreckage and whistled.
"GHAAAH!" The gang suddenly heard a frightful scream coming from the direction of the train. Squinting their eyes, the three DWMA students could just make out what appeared to be an ant in shorts clutching his head. It was BJ, the DWMA's chief engineer obviously not too thrilled to see the state of his biggest project since the installation of Brew into all of Death City.
As the four friends approached, they started to hear the state of BJ's frustration.
"GHAAAH! Do those three know how long it took me to reinstall that stupid spring back into this hunk of junk and then while it was moving to install breaks, and after that reprogram it to not move until someone programs in coordinates for it to go to. How the heck do you crash a train in the middle of a desert with nothing to crash into!? Where is my ICED COFFEE?!"
Needless to say, the engineer was mad.
"Hey BJ, sorry about the train." Soul shouted coolly as the group approached.
BJ whipped around to face them, steam literally coming out of his nose, his mug of iced coffee shaking in his hand. He was about to give them a lecture to end all lectures, but then he did a head count. Quickly he composed himself and pulled out a surprisingly old and bulky cell.
"Yes, they are here. Send us a chopper." He spoke into the surprisingly old fashion cell before he folded it in half, ending the call. He turned his head to look at the four.
"You better have a good debriefing ready for Lord Death," He said raising a single eyebrow. "I imagine he is going to have some questions." He turned back to his crew of engineers, getting back to the salvage job of what was left of the train. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING, DO YOU WANT TO BRING THE ENTIRE TRAIN DOWN ON YOU? HERE, LET ME SHOW YOU HOW IT'S DONE!" He stomped away to help his subordinates.
During the entire helicopter ride back to death city Maka was working on her report on the mission using a notebook and pencil she got from BJ, Soul was sleeping, Ches was staring out the window his headphones and mp3 had not survived the crash, and Gwen was either stuffing her face or exercising, doing sit ups, crunches, pushups, and anything else she could in the confined corners of the helicopter's confined space. Eventually about of the third of the way to the DWMA she collapsed in a seat and fell soundly asleep.
Death was muttering under his breath reading Maka's report which seemed miniscule in his oversized hands, every now and again looking up at the four teens in front of him. "Drat that Asura! I had thought we were done with him." A vein was pulsing on Death's mask.
Gwen leaned in towards Ches whispering "How does he do that?"
"Do what?" Ches asked in response.
"How does he have a vein pulsing, on his mask." She whispered behind a hand.
"I have no idea." Ches chuckled in response.
Death clapped his hands together causing Ches and Gwen to jump slightly.
"OK so it seems you two again were able to stop another crisis" Death said turned to Maka and Soul. "With a little help of course." He added turning to Gwen and Ches.
"And now that I know what kind of weapon you are, Ches I can give you your official title. Like Soul's is Demon Scythe. Yours shall be… hmmm" Death gripped the tip of his mask in thought, and then snapped his fingers. "You shall be known as Living Wall Ches." The students in front of him all groaned.
"What no good?" Death said with obvious disappointment in his voice.
"His title will be 'Guardian Shield'."
Four of the room's occupants turned to look at the newest student of the DWMA, Gwen.
"And I'll be his partner." Gwen finished.
"Hmm 'Guardian Shield'" Death mused. "It has certain ring to it. Ya that will work. And I suppose two weapons working together could work, it did for Liz and Patty for years. But what will your title be?" Death leaned in expecting a response. There was a pause. She hadn't thought of one for herself.
"Heavenly Edge"
This time the group looked by clapping his hands together at Ches.
"Heavenly Edge Gwen and The Guardian Shield Ches… I like it." Death said emphasizing his point with a snap of his oversized fingers. "From now on you two Heavenly Edge Gwen and Guardian Shield Ches" Nodding to each in turn. "Shall be working together, and living together. I will set it up for the two of you to get an apartment near the school."
Gwen draped an arm over Ches's shoulders beaming a giant grin.
When the four walked out of the Death Room they were greeted with the sight of a very androgynous looking boy with lavender hair.
"H-hello Maka welcome back." He said awkwardly clutching his arm. Maka responded by running to him and pulling him into a hug. She then planted a light kiss on his cheek causing him to blush.
"Who is that?" Gwen whispered to Ches from behind her hand.
"That is Maka's boyfriend Crona." He whispered back.
Gwen watched as Maka took the awkward boy's hand and walked away telling him about the mission, the boy's robe swishing and choppy lavender hair swaying in time with his steps. Soul with his sharp shark's teeth flashing a toothy grin at the two took the hallway leading to the cafeteria, and suddenly got fell on his butt as Black*Star and Patty tackled him wanting to spar, Followed close behind by Liz Tsubaki, and Death the Kid, who in turn collapsed at the sight of the wreckage left in the three's wake as they made their way, fighting, down the hallway.
Gwen turned to Ches her new partner gave him a slight punch to the shoulder giving him a toothy grin herself. "This place is going to be interesting."
The two walked off down the third hallway to go get their new home set up.
