Slender levitated from the ground and felt his chest. He lifted his suit jacket and poked his pointy finger through the hole, Damn now I need to get this fixed.
Atora smiled at him, "Glad to see you're ok."
It was just a bullet. He fixed his tie and grabbed Atora's hand and flashed forward to their cave of solitude.
They walked in, Slender and Atora just collapsed to the ground, sleep and death fell over the two.
Slender awoke from his death, he felt Atora's presence. Atora was sleeping peacefully in a state of REM. Slender saw her arm and curiosity struck him like a drum. He grabbed her arm and entered her dreams. What Slender saw could never be unseen again.
Slender walked into a ragged house. His shoes crackled over the shattered glass. He saw a young girl kneeling in front of two bodies. Slender walked toward her until he heard the young girl talk. She was upset and then said, "Stop," but she didn't turn around. Slender then relized she wasn't talking to him but to others in the room. She pulled the knife from the bodies she was kneeling behind. Slender walked forward and entered the room where he then saw that there were four men dressed in all black. Slender noticed one begin to run at the girl. He bolted ready to strike, but the man went straight through him. Slender turned quickly only to see the man's head pinned up to the wall. Slender recognized the girls face. It was Atora. She was about seven years old. She pulled the knife from the man's head and a tear rolled down her face. Two men now bolted at her but she through the knives landing them both in their chests. She pulled them out, and looked up to see the fourth man escaped. She fell to the ground and cried out. Slender relized those bodies were her parents.
Slender let go of Atora's arm and held his chest in pain, Her parents were murdered!
Atora woke up about ten minutes later and smiled at Slender, "Good morning." She looked at her watch and frowned, "Damn were gonna be late."
Slender nodded and grabbed her hand and flashed to the DWMA scaring about twenty students.
Atora waved at the embarrassed kids.
Death the Kid came out to greet his symmetrical friend, "Your image is pure symmetry!"
Slender grabbed his hand in disbelief, Wait! You aren't afraid of me?
"Why would I be afraid of such symmetry?" Death the Kid laughed.
Liz looked at Slender," Anything not symmetrical will scare him." Patty burst out laughing at Liz's comment.
Atora smiled at Slender and spoke to him through thought, Slender show Kid Your rifle.
Slender spoke back, I'd rather not. Vik always kept quiet with that technique and I'm not risking your shoulder.
Atora frowned at him. Slender felt her frown like needles through his body. He couldn't turn down her. Especially after what he saw earlier this morning. He spoke to her again, Fine we can present it in your hands just let me know if you're experiencing pain.
Atora smiled, "Kid watch this; Slender form Black Widow Wood Kar98K!"
Slender glowed black and formed into her arms. Atora felt the rifle, which seemed to feel lighter than before. Atora grew a feeling in her stomach. She wanted to fire it as a salute shot. Slender knew what she was thinking, Don't even think about firing me. You know what I told you. Vik's wants haven't been met.
A smile broke from Atora's face, "So Kid… What do you think?"
Kid looked at the rifle with intent. He studied every shape and curve of the rifle. He even pointed out that the rifle's black wood gave of an iridescent glow of acidic green in the lit angles.
Slender interrupted Atora's thoughts, Show him White Ash.
Atora spoke out loud, "Slender infamous nine tails whip."
Slender glowed black and then to red forming the nine tails.
Atora looked at Kid, "Stand back Kid. Slender Soul Resonance!
Stein rolled out to observe why his students were late, but waited and observed his student.
Slender exploded with black and red dark energy, but Atora glowed bright white. She extended the whips hilt and tapped the end. Nine more ends formed from the other side. Atora now spun the staff and the once leather whips turned to steel chains. It was topped off with barbed hooks protruding the chain ends.
Stein was now impressed. The kids watching began to laugh though when the whip burned off coats side arms and her blouse.
Atora smiled with embarrassment and frowned at Professor Stein, "Um… Professor may I go home and put new clothes on. Otherwise I'll be in class with not shirt or pants?"
Stein smiled at Atora still impressed by her amazing power as a meister, "Of course you can. You and Slender get an A for the day." He kicked his chair back and spun around, "As for the rest of you… get to class!"
Now formed as himself Slender grabbed Atora and flashed to their home.
