A night that they'll never forgot.
Who invited the witches?
It is 9:00 at night in Death City, the streets where empty. Everyone's lights where off except for Vexises house, he was the only one in his city's districts.
"Terry have you seen my hat!?" yelled Vexis from his room.
"It should be in your room," replied Terry as he was on the couch watching T.V.
"I have checked my room multipl- oh what, never mind!" Vexis yelled back. After a couple of minutes he came out of his room wearing a black suit, a red undershirt, black tie with a red strips, and a black jacket over it.
"So what do you think?" asked Vexis presenting himself to his roommate for an opinion. Terry mutes the T.V. and looked at Vexis.
"Damn Vexis, what's the occasion," said the cat looking impressed.
"Today's the day the academy was founded so there throwing a massive anniversary party," explained Vexis as he put on his black fedora with a crimson ribbon around it.
"The party is today!? Why wasn't I invited?!" Terry complained.
"Well the party is for students and teachers."
"But I was at the party last time, remember!"
"Yah and last time you almost blew up the party with your explosive candle trick! That's the reason why its students and teachers only."
"But I said I was sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it man, but look on the bright side Blare isn't coming ether so you two have the whole night to yourself."
"Fine but you better bring back a plate of fish for me."
"I'll see what I can do, well I better get going before everyone starts without me," said Vexis as he put on his dress shoes, walked out the door, and hopped on his bike to the party.
"Well he's gone, I guess a night in the town will be fun," said Terry as he locked the door, turned off the light, open the window, and hopped out. As he dropped out the window he transforms into a cat and landed on the ground with a hard thud.
"Man it's been a while since I did that, now where is my little pumpkin cat?" said the feline as he walked down the vacant street. Meanwhile at the entrance of the academy; Bela, Sairento, Silver, and Luca waited impatiently for Vexis.
"Where the hell is that double sword dimwit?" Bela complained looking at her pocket watch from her white dress with black diagonal stripes on below the waist. She was also wearing a pair of white gloves that when up to her shoulder, black high heels, and a neckless with a silver star on it.
"Well what do you expect, this is Vexis we're talking about," said Silver lying down on the brick wall wearing black dress with fish netting on the under skirt and around the collar. She was wearing black heels and a couple of golden bracelets on her right wrist.
"He has two minutes left," Sairento spoke up wearing a black tuxedo, black tie, and shiny dress shoes.
"He's going to make it, knowing Vexis he's probably on his way up the stairs right now," said Luca leaning up on the wall next Silver looking like he was part of the mafia with a black fedora.
"Hey guys," said Vexis as he took the last step off the stairs.
"Well speak of the devil," said Luca as he stopped leaning on the wall
"Took you long enough," said Bela putting her watch way.
"Looking good Vexis," said Silver getting off the wall she was lying on.
"Thanks and sorry it took a while, couldn't find my hat, anyways we should probably get going before were late for Lord Deaths big speech," said Vexis tilting his fedora forward a little pit before everyone walked in together. Once inside they were greeted by butler looking people giving away pamphlets to students and teachers.
"For you good sir," said the butler with a British accent as he gave Vexis Bela and Silver the pamphlet. The three of them looked at it to see there was a times table of every event.
"Wow there really going all out," said Bela as she looked at the rest of the paper.
"No kidding, everything is marked down to the T, even the restroom breaks," said Silver giving her pamphlet to Luca.
"It also says that Lord Deaths great speech will be starting soon, said Luca looking at the paper.
"Relax, it's going to be fine and besides it's not like where missing much," said Sairento as Bela looped her arm around his
"Regardless were going to make this a night we will never forget, let's go," declared Vexis as he marched to the elevator. After a while they made it to the top where the party was beginning held. Every student and teacher was dressed for the occasion and looked like they were having a good time by mingling with one another or chowing down at the buffy.
"Wow," said Bela looking amazed.
"So I take it that you don't have parties like these in Japan?" asked Luca seeing Bela and Sairento completely speechless.
"Not even close to this kind of magnitude, its normally boring as all hell," said Sairento feeling a bit overwhelmed.
"Well what are you waiting for? Go have fun, mingle a little bit, eat the food," said Vexis pushing the both of them into the party while Luca and Silver walked to the dance floor.
"Yo! Hey, hiya! Thanks for coming! Great to see you!" pleasantly said Lord Death on stage with one of his ridiculously large hands out to greet people. Lord Death wasn't the only one up there, Spirit and Death the Kid where standing up there with him. Very one stopped what they were doing and began to applauded the Shinigami.
"Okay! Well, that's about all I have to say! Have a great time tonight!" said Death ending his great speech. Well that was a short speech. Vexis thought as he looked at death the kid to see he was not amused at his own father's speech.
"*cough*all, if I may speak as well! Thank you for taking the time to come here, to night of this gala we celebrate something dear to all of our hearts; the founding of are academy!" Death the Kid followed up.
"If you could kindly indulge me, I death the kid, would like to say a few words about the occasion!" Kid continued as everyone continued to listen. Oh boy here we go! Vexis thought sarcastically as he grabbed a glass from the butler and began to drink.
"We all know tha-"
"YAHOO! YAHOO! It's me in all my glory! You want to know the amazing Blackstar! Yah!" yelled Blackstar as he hanged from the top of the curtains behind Death the kid completely cutting him off his speech. Kid looked back ever so slightly at Blackstar with an annoyed expression on his face
"Of course all thanks-"
"Hear me people! It's me with a capital M! I'm the only one big enough to capitalize me!"
"Anyway, as I was saying-"
"HAHAHAHAHAHAHA-!"
"Disgusted dash!" yelled Death the Kid as he slams his foot down on Blackstar's fast to the ground and began to fight him.
"What you think you're doing! You can't interrupt my big speech!" yelled Blackstar fighting back at Kid.
"You're the one who interrupted, you hopeless idiot! I wanted my speech to be precise and exact!" kid yelled back as the fighting continued.
"Is it always like this?" Bela asked Vexis pointing at the scene Kid and Blackstar where creating.
"Oh should have been here last year, it was way worse, except Kid wasn't there and it was my father giving the speech," explained Vexis taking another drink from his glass.
"Well is this a party or isn't it!? There's a band and lots of food so eat, sing, dance, do the hokey pokey! Whatever you're in the mood for!" said Lord Death as a small group of people agree. Music began playing and everyone began enjoying themselves
"Nice to see this party in full swing," said Vexis at the buffy table with Silver and Luca.
"Yah no kidding, and the food isn't that bad ether," said Silver talking a bite of some salmon
"So where's Bela and Sair?" asked Luca as he took a quick drink.
"Oh there out on the dance floor dancing," said Vexis as he pointed at them in the crowd of other dancers.
"Looks there enjoying themselves," said Silver taking another bite of her salmon. From the corner of his eye Vexis notice his sister Maka walking to the balcony with a plate of fish. That odd Maka hates fish… Vexis shrugged and went to go for the dessert bar until his father stopped him half way.
"Vexis have you seen your sister, I want to go dance with her like the time of your guises kindergarten graduation," said Spirit as he gave one of his goofy smiles. To be or not to be a jackass to Maka that is the question…who the hell am I kidding, I'm always a jackass. Vexis thought with a sinister grin.
"Yah she's on the balcony with Soul, pops, I think she said something about dancing with him or something," said Vexis pointing at her general direction.
"That damn hooligan! No one gets to dance with my baby girl but me! I'm coming Maka darling!" said Vexises father as he sprinted to Maka while Vexis waved at him with a smile.
"Well this is going to be fun, but that can wait after I eat some dessert," he said as he grabbed a plate and began stuffing it with lots of cakes and other sweets. After filling his plate he walked over to the balcony just in time to see his sister being dragged off to the dance floor. Vexis stood there and waved at her as she tried to break free from father's grip.
"Have fun!" yelled the duel sword weapon as Maka gave him the you're dead stare. He walked to the balcony to meet up with soul who was eating food from the buffy table.
"Sup Soul," said Vexis leaning up against the bars and talking a bite of cake.
"Oh, hey Vexis, what's up?" asked Soul looking a little surprise at him.
"Just calming down my sweet tooth urges, so what where you and my sister talking about before dad dragged her way?"
"Beats me but Maka has been acting weird lately."
"How so?"
"Well she thinks there's something bothering me but I feel just fine."
"Are you sure about that," said Vexis glancing at soul with a serious look.
"What do you mean," said soul looking a bit confused.
"Well you guys have been though a lot lately and you did get a massive scar across your chest," Vexis said putting his almost empty plate down.
"Yah but were cool now and besides it's what's expected from a weapon," Soul explained talking another bite of the salmon.
"What every you say man," said Vexis as he stretched his arms out and straiten his hat.
"I'm going in to see the train wreck that is Maka and father bonding, want to watch."
"Maybe later, this party really isn't my thing."
"Suit yourself, I'm off" the weapon began to walk in with his plate
"Hey Vexis."
"Hmm?" Vexis stopped to hear what his friend has to say
"Did you have something to do with them dancing together?"
"Come on Soul you should know me by now, of course I did,"
"That's total not cool Vexis,"
"Your rights it's not cool, it's funny," said Vexis as he continued to walk with such laughter.
"That jackass, it won't be my fault when Maka found out it was his idea," Soul smiled as he gazed out into the city and he takes another bite of his food. Vexis met up with the rest of his crew who were sitting down at the tables near the entrance.
"So how's your guys night?" ask Vexis talking a seat.
"It's okay, it could be better if it wasn't for Blackstar hogging all the food!" yelled Silver glaring her eyes at the loud mouth assassin devouring helping of food.
"Minus that everything is going great, it almost like nothing can go wrong," said Bela jinxing the rest of the night
"Stein! Hurry! Everyone gets out of here immediately!" someone yelled from the entrance of the room. Everyone turned around to see it was Sid all banged up and bloody.
"The hell!?" yelled Vexis as he and his friends got up to his aid. They weren't the only ones to see what was going on as Professor Stein, Maka, and her friends came running as well.
"Are you okay?" asked the professor in concern of his fellow teacher.
"Yah, but I'm not sure how," said Sid as he manage to catch his breath.
"We ran into an ambush. I dove underground right before the blast, but I barely got away," the zombie began to explain as everyone looked worried.
"What we need to do now is get everyone out of here, it's a trap. This is the day they've been waiting for, when Lord Death leaves his mirror and all of the students and teachers are in one place," Sid continued to explained as a shock of concern fell over Stein's face
"Medusa!" he yelled turning around to see the good doctor jumping out of the window. After she jumped, the room began to shake furiously and sparks of electricity began to dance across the walls of the room.
"What the hell's going on!?" screamed Sairento in concern.
"I don't know but I have a bad feeling about this!" said Luca trying to stay close to his girl. What is this feeling I'm getting right now? Thought Vexis felling a bit off from what is transpiring.
"Here we go! Compulsive Burial!" Sid screamed slamming his knife into the ground and creating 13 coffins underneath Maka, Vexis, Stein and the rest of their friends to fall through.
"What the!" yelled Silver as she began to fall.
"coffins?!' yelled Bela confused and shocked at the same time. Every one began to fall down into the coffins in a rabid rate leaving everyone in the party room.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Luca yelled trying to find something to grab a hold of.
"God fucking damn it!" yelled Vexis with such anger seeing the light of the room fade way.
"Where counting on you, to protect the D.W.M.A," said Sid under his breath as he fell to the ground from exaction and pain. After a couple of minutes of free falling, everyone finally made it to the end of the rectangular tunnel to the first floor if the academy. All of the weapons fell flat on their asses except for Vexis who landed with the other meisters.
"The meisters landed on their feet and the weapons didn't, I guess we really are different," said soul making a smart remark as he and the other weapons got up.
"Well I landed on my feet, what does that make me?" asked Vexis putting his hands behind his head.
"Lucky," said Sair as he patted the dust off his tux.
"I'm sensing some witch souls up there," said Kid looking up from where they dropped
"One…two…eight of them and the demon sword also," he continued informing the others about the situation. The ground shook once more as the sound of an explosion can be heard from outside the building.
"What was that, what are they doing up there?" asked Maka feeling a tab bit nervous.
"Listen up kids, we've got an emergency on our hands," the professor spoke up getting everyone's attention.
"Below the D.W.M.A sleeps a kishin, the source of all madness in the world; as you know are nurse medusa is a witch," said the professor as everyone listens closely.
"She snuck into the academy to revive the kishin. We must stop this at all costs," Stein finish his explanation leaving almost everyone in shock.
"That fucking bitch, how dare she stab us in the back like that!" angrily yelled Vexis as he slammed his fist into the wall.
"Doctor Medusa is actually a witch professor, its crazy," said Maka trying to comprehend everything she heard.
"And this kishin too, how something like that underneath the school?" asked Soul completely dumfounded at the thought.
"It's true," said Kid speaking up as the gang looked at him.
"My father explained everything to me, in order to keep the kishin sleeping safe and sound my father cannot ever leave the academy," kid explained.
"Damn having to stay in one place because of a kishin must suck," said Silver as she straitens her dress up a bit.
"So there's a reason Lord Death never goes anywhere, I always thought he wasn't much of a people person," stated Blackstar as a couple of people glared at him for being an idiot.
"let's get moving ,we can't let Sid's quick thinking go to waste; all of you follow me, I'll take use to the entrance that leads underground," said Stein as everyone nodded and began to follow him. After a couple of minutes of walking they finally made it to their destination. The room and hallway looked old and cracked making it look like it has never been used for decades.
"This is the entrance we need," everyone stopped as listen to the good doctor on what he had to say.
"Our enemy is powerful, if you aren't prepared for what lays ahead then you may die," Stein began as he sticks a cigarette in his mouth.
"If you want to turn around, better do it now," he quickly lit a match, held it up to his cigarette, took in a deep breath, and then blows it out. He throws the match to the other side of the room then turned around to see his students.
"Are you ready to fight against fear itself? Will you cross beyond that door? Let your soul make the decision for you," he said but everyone's mind where made up as they put on their original attire and looked ready to fight what whatever evil they will face.
"Where coming!" stated Maka feeling unwavering as ever.
"We made it this far might as well go all the way," said Vexis cracking his knuckles with a determined grin on his face. The professor smiled at his students with a proud look on his face as he took another breath of smoke and blow it out
"Good," he said as everyone began walking into the entrance to the underground throwing all caution into the wind and diving head first into certain doom.
