A soft sound of what seemed to be a heartbeat. It was coming from the east. I grinned dropping from the branches. The hunt was on again.
" Find them?" Came the gruff voice the rifle on my back. Jak had to be annoyed that I had lost the pray twice.
" Yeah, yeah. East About two miles." I grinned. " It's not like you are gonna have to walk it so you shouldn't complain."
There was a grunt in response as I took off running. There was no way that I was going to lose the pray a third time. I could practically feel the tension in my rise for the fight that was coming. I did what I could to keep that part of me down. I never wanted to see that monster again.
After a while of running and some checking. I could tell that we had been noticed. That it wanted to make us the prey. Not something that I was going to let happen. There was one thing that I had to check on first.
" What if we are too late?" Jak whispered as I pulled him in front of me. It was a grim situation if that was the case.
" We did the best that we could. " What was I supposed to say? That it was all going to be alright? We both knew that students died all the time on missions like these. " WE can try and bring the soul back to Lord Death. Give some closure for their families."
I tighten my grip on the barrel as we neared a clearing. There was a soft glow. One of a soul. This one was blue. We had been too late. Though one of them might still be alive. As there was only one soul.
A shadow from the corner of my eye. The monster that had killed them. The prey I had been hunting for the better part of the day. I felt the rush of the fight start to overtake me. I grinned and did my best to control myself in the joy of the fight.
There was an attack from the back. I was able to jump in time. Taking a shot at the monster's head. I managed to scrape the side of its face. It let out a roar. It stopped after hitting a tree. In the moonlight and the soft light of the soul, I could see the distorted shape she had become.
Back hunched over thin black hair almost covering her face. She had a contraption on her back. Her skin looked pale as the moon. Though I had seen her in the daylight with almost green-like skin. Her eyes sunk so far back that you saw dark spots where they should be.
" Black-widow killer…..Whatever your name is. Your soul is mine." I grinned shooting off another shot at the woman. She had killed both her husbands and children. Earning her the nickname of Black-widow killer.
I could see her soul now. It was red. A sure sign that she was beyond saving. Her soul was a Kishen Egg. Something that we were trained to go after is making sure they never came back.
" Don't get too cocky." Jak hissed as I had to move to dodge her attacks again. " One cut from her needles will do us in. "
That was all I need to pull myself back from the Thrill. Going back to the trees and climbing up a tree. I needed a better angle. She was a close combat fighter, with Jak as a gun. I was far better at ranged fighting. I felt stupid for forgetting that and rushing in like I used to.
To my problem. She had followed me and spotted me. She was far faster than I could be. I dropped out of the tree to land funny on the ground. Dropping Jak and I could feel pain shooting up my leg. I rolled a bit as well, in the dark, I was now unaware where I was.
I then felt something heavy land on my gut. Then the stench of death hit my nostrils. This was not a good sign.
" Lucky me! I get more souls all to myself!" The Killer above me singing a shrill voice, almost echoing. My arms were pinned to my sides when she landed on me. Nothing I could do. This was the end. Unless I let out that other part of myself.
Before I could think again. There was another flash. I felt the killer above me knocked to the side. Hearing her cry out in pain and there was the thump of her body hitting the ground.
" You alright?" The voice was feminine. I looked over to see a young girl Her hair dark. Her hands held what seemed to be two batons. Folded over her forearms. Each of them giving off a soft glow. One Green the other purple.
Before I could answer. The girl was rushed at.
" SHE HAS POISON!" Jak yelled he was in his human form. Rushing to me to pulling to my feet. Transforming back.
I could follow the fight with the light from the girl's strange weapons. She was moving fast. Faster than the killer. The form around her weapons would change. This time it seemed to have a chain as the killer tried to run. Wrapping around her and pulling her back.
" Time for you to freeze," The girl said. The purple light flashing more like the chain from it seemed to cause ice to form around the killer.
When the killer was completely frozen. She took the green one and pushed it. Thunder sounded as she did. A ripped of wind nearly pushing me back.
All That was left was some ice and a soft glowing red orb. The girl sighed. Turning around to us.
" That should do it. Are the two of you alright?" She asked. She kept her distance from us.
" We are fine, Thanks for the help! Would have been in a world of hurt."Letting Jak go to his human
. His messy hair. Some skin on his face and wrists showing. His posture showed that he was rather upset.
" You're a gun?" the girl asked. She seemed panicked. Stepping back and her leg hit the ground it changed. A Blade formed and she lost her balance.
Just who was this girl? She was a weapon and a Mister? Though her powers didn't seem to be like Justin's or any other student I knew.

I will be posting this as well on my Archive account Geminifan_22 If you would like that better.
I also am in slight need of a female weapon for the villain if you have any ideas feel the to message me. I would like to keep this more about the OCs and some slight pairings with the main cast.
