Okay, people, first things first; this is an experimental crossover fic. Don't run away just yet, let me explain. Because of my horrid time of trying to work on all my other works, and failing miserably, I ended up doing this to see what would happen next. It's a crossover of DNAngel and Megami Kouhosei (Candidate for Goddess) but is completely AU, okay? Mainly the DNAngel part of it, anyway, the other is more based on it's story... but not as, uh, important? Dunno just yet, so please read it...

Disclaimers: I don't own DNAngel or Megami Kouhosei. They belong to Yukiru Sugisaki, 'kay? Ah... who didn't know that?

Ratings/Warnings: Uh... PG13? Maybe. Most likely. And, uh... could get a bit violent at times...

Pairings: What pairings?

Other: Well, read on, please. Read on...

Once there were many, many worlds. Most were ones that no one knew of, some were... just there. Well, that was what the Scientists said, anyway, but no one could really care, since they couldn't go anywhere, even if they wanted to. So... let's just start this, shall we?

History Lesson #1

In the year 4033, the world was blown up... apparently. Huge monster creatures swarmed across the many planets and destroyed all that they came across, including the people who lived there. Pain and agony was an essential part of the whole deal, and many people mourned for their loved ones while they attempted to find a way to escape. Those who were able to escape with their lives – and hopefully their family – were forced to live in space, floating around in 'Colonies'. It seemed that they were punished for their own mistakes which led to the downfall of many from the monsters known as Giseisha that are constantly attacking them whenever they feel like it. Only one planet remains, one world that still lives that they know of; Zion, known as the 'Last Planet'. Mankind's last hope, but the Giseisha are aiming against that planet, and the only way to stop them is by using large Mecha known as The Five Goddesses. They protect Zion from the attacks, and are large robots with an incredible amount of power because, no matter what, they have to protect the Last Planet.

When a male is aged 14-16 with the blood type EO and have the potential to have EX, then they are able to train to become 'Pilots', in an attempt to keep Zion alive. When the Giseisha are finally destroyed, mankind will be able to live on the Last Planet and peace will settle.

At least... they believed that Zion was the last planet.

History Lesson #2

Earth. Earth. The planet that was the third rock from the sun. Everyone knows that, right? Well, never mind. Seemingly there were the normal people, and the people who were considered freaks for no apparent reason. Okay, there was a pretty good reason. These 'freaks' possessed supernatural abilities that were classified as 'magic' or something 'pretty creepy in my personal opinion' and were never treated fairly in the earlier days. Many were burnt on the stake for the power they possessed (although many escaped because they were immune to fire like that) and were forced to hide for many years. Over time the scare faded to racism of sorts, so some of the strongest of Magic Users built a school (and no, it's not Hogwarts). The name was never revealed, and only the ones who had the potential of magic were allowed to enter and learn what they could; to harness the power they had so they wouldn't blow up another house or set it on fire.

Time may have passed, but still students came to study under the teachings in case of any sort of emergencies.

Really, when anything was possible and one of the last planets living (safe from the Giseisha), the fate of about anything could lie in anyone's hands.

Well, that was the theory, anyway.

---

Zion was the last planet known in space... until Earth was revealed. Even so, it was too overpopulated, so those who wanted to become 'Pilots' still had to become 'Pilots' and couldn't do anything about it until they reached Zion, but that didn't mean that the Earth and the Pilots couldn't make an agreement:

To send a chosen few to descend on Earth... and learn the ways of life, as well as the magic some possessed.

This was all later in the story, though, so we'll just start from the top.

Prologue: New Student, New School... Evil Attacks

The sky was blue, the sun unmistakingly burning hot; ready to burn people to a crisp, and the breeze was non-existent. And all the while the one boy that was actually marveling about the whole heat wave deal was unable to do so, since his mother was trying to get him ready for his first day at school.

"Dai-chaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaan! You can't be late!" Emiko Niwa - loving mother and somewhat a freak in so many little ways it made the boy shiver - called in a painfully high tone, "It's your first day and you can't get in trouble already!"

"Mum! I'm already up!" he called back impatiently.

Daisuke, who was an only child of the Niwa family, was of average height and had unnaturally spiky flame-red hair, which moved slightly as he turned his head in frustration. His eyes were large and had an amber tone to the iris and seemed to gleam with a bright light. He ran down the stairs, his bag swinging off his slim shoulder without too much trouble... until he tripped over something.

With a yelp of surprise, the fourteen-year-old fell down the rest of the way and landed onto the landing floor with a dull thud. Moaning slightly and rubbing his head, Daisuke looked up in time to see his mother frowning at him, shaking her head.

"Dai-chan," she began softly, "What have I told you before?"

"Um..." he began hesitantly, instantly knowing what she was going to say next; and how right he was...

"You know that I've said that you have to be graceful and elegant, even when it involves falling down the stairs like that! How many times must I repeat myself?" Emiko burst out, "We haven't been training you all this time for nothing, you know, Daisuke, so you should at least be glad of your training!"

"Mum... I am glad," Daisuke mumbled, trying to pacify the fuming woman, but well aware that she would ramble on as long as she wanted to until the end of the world,

"And the one that tripped me was..."

The redhead pointed an accusing finger at a lump on one of the steps, "With! What were you doing there?!"

The creature in question seemed to be a cross between a rabbit and... something else. Daisuke – nor anyone else in the family – were entirely sure of the existence of such a creature, or where he originated from, but besides the fact that With only ever ate strawberries and was seemingly harmless was enough for the Niwa family to adopt him.

With was a white creature with bunny-like ears and a small furry body as he hopped excitedly towards the fuming redhead.

"Kyu! Kyu!" he squealed.

"What were you doing up there?" Daisuke repeated himself – well aware that 'kyu' would be the only answer he would get – but did so anyway. "I was looking all over for you!" With smiled – if it was possible – at this statement and wagged his tail happily before replying.

"Kyu! Kyu! Kyu!"

"I give up..." the redhead groaned, unaware that his mother was still rambling about his 'training' and about how his 'posture was important'.

"Emiko-san, I think it's time to calm down," husband and father, Kosuke, appeared from another room and tapped his wife on the shoulder calmly, making her stop. "I'm sure Daisuke knows exactly what you're talking about, right son?"

Daisuke instantly snapped back to attention and nodded at both his parents. "Yes, father."

"Well, if that's the case," Emiko immediately forgot that she was mad at him and embraced him tightly, "You better go off to school now, Dai-chan! Don't forget to take your lunch."

The redhead nodded, "Got it."

"And don't let anyone intimidate or bully you--"

"I know."

"—And listen to the teachers at all times, unless they're doing something wrong--"

"Yes."

"—and eat your lunch at the right time and choose your friends wisely..."

"I think he gets the point, Emiko-san," Kosuke smiled knowingly as Daisuke rolled his eyes. His wife merely frowned – annoyed with being overridden on while she was talking – but nodded before patting her son on the head.

"Take care, then, Dai-chan!" she said.

"Okay!" he smiled, glad that she wasn't going to give him anymore 'pointers', as With hopped onto his head.

"Don't talk to anyone suspicious either," added his father as Daisuke opened the door, pulled his shoes on, and made his way to the front gate.

"I know!"

The parents watched as the redhead ran off out of sight and exchanged knowing glances before closing the front door and going off to do their own business.

--- Flashback with Daisuke: Part One ---

Daisuke was incredibly bored as he sat on a wooden chair and stared blankly at the walls in front of him. He was sitting by a door – which was closed – while the two adults in there talked over their 'little arrangement' about the young redhead. Clearly his mother wanted the best and didn't trust the principal, as Daisuke noticed while their voices floated around the corridor.

"Are you sure that this school will approve with Daisuke's... skill?" hissed Emiko at a tall man wearing a black suit. "He can be very sensitive at times and I have no intention of seeing him hurt in anyway just because he's different..."

"I'm sure you're son will be fine," replied the tall man smoothly, "If he possesses the right qualities like every other student we have had, then I am sure we will be able to cater for his needs."

"You sound like you're going to feed him," the woman observed. "And I already know that his results are quite different from others who have been here, so I don't want anything out of you about it."

"You have no need to worry yourself about that, Mrs. Niwa, we can assure you--"

Daisuke swung his legs under his chair, unintentionally eavesdropping on the two adults in the other room. He felt bored beyond imagination, and the fact that he was the only one sitting on a chair in an empty corridor was enough to send the redhead off to madness due to the fact that it was the holidays and no one – no one at all – were around.

"We don't want assurances," Emiko snapped back, "We don't want promises either. But since this is the only school that will allow him to learn how to control such a powerful force..."

"He will be coming this term?" the man's voice seemed eerily dangerous and soft, and Daisuke leaned closer to the closed door next to him, frowning. "Nothing will happen to your son, Mrs. Niwa, you know that."

"... Very well." There was the abrupt sound of movement as his mother obviously got up from the seat she'd been sitting on. "It was nice to speak to you, Principal."

"Always a pleasure."

The young redhead hopped off his seat as the door creaked open, doing his best not to look too suspicious. His mother gave him a small smile and nodded, tilting her head slightly in indication that she would speak once they were out of the large building.

Silence was broken by the sounds of two pairs of feet hitting the hard floor as it echoed endlessly into nothingness. Daisuke turned his head once as his mind told him that they were being watched, in time to see someone duck out of sight into the safety of a classroom. Emiko, noticing this, muttered under her breath so that no one besides her son could hear her; "Ignore it for now Daisuke. I'll tell you everything on the way home."

Once they were outside the school gates, the redhead opened his mouth to speak, but Emiko pushed him forwards.

"Just a bit further," she muttered, obviously to herself.

"Mum... what's wrong?" Daisuke's eyes were large with innocent questioningly and his mother shook her head as they began to make their way to their new home.

"I don't like that school too much, you see," she began, "Because there are many rumors that say that things happen... to the students mostly. Like they're draining the power of the talented and then... it's not a nice thing to know, Dai-chan."

"Then why am I going there?" he asked instantly.

"It's the only school you can go to," Emiko frowned, "Because the magic in you just appeared like that, no other school would accept you. And this is closer to where your father is working, so we thought that it would be for the best."

"But... can't I just keep going to a normal school then?"

"Well... we thought about that as well, but since the more... official people know of your powers now," she pursed her lips, "They want you to go to a school with children of, what they say, 'your sort'. It's a difficult situation."

"I can take care of myself, though," Daisuke smiled reassuringly. "So you don't need to worry about me, mum."

She smiled. "I know that, Dai-chan, I know."

--- End Flashback #1 ---

(I can't believe that I have to go here...) thought the redhead, as he ran down the street. Avoiding a group of people that were taking up most of the footpath, he continued running without thinking too much.

"If they're trying to do something to us," he muttered to himself as With clung to his shoulder, "then we're just going to have to fight back."

"Kyu!"

Daisuke stopped suddenly, as a rushed feeling of apprehension and foreboding hit him like a tidal wave. He took a pace back and looked up at the sky, noting the clouds patterns and the direction of the wind without missing a beat as he started walking at an even pace.

The streets were fairly deserted as he continued without emitting a sound, and With also seemed silent, as if concentrating on a feeling that he couldn't identify. Something in the back of Daisuke's mind told him that something dangerous was approaching them – hence the lack of life – and he brought both his hands behind his back. He continued walking like nothing was wrong, but kept both hands in hiding, his eyes half-closed.

"Kyu!"

"Can you feel it too?" asked the redhead.

"Kyu kyu!"

"Don't worry, I know."

With hissed slightly, but didn't move, and Daisuke stopped abruptly and turned around.

"Yes?" he asked politely.

He faced the person who had been stalking him calmly, who gave the smaller boy a glare of disapproval. The newcomer was a skinny looking boy with scraggly brown hair and large eyes. His clothes were also of poor quality and seemed just a bit too big for the kid and Daisuke could only raise an eyebrow at his appearance. Although it was clear that he really didn't pose any threat to the older and taller boy, but since he was holding a knife, the redhead knew better than to underestimate him.

"How'd you know I was there?" rasped the smaller boy, still glaring.

"I could sense your presence," replied Daisuke, knowing – by the boy's reaction – that it wasn't the answer wanted.

"How could you sense me?!" he shrieked. "No one can tell of my presence until it's too late! You cheated!!"

"Huh?" the redhead blinked. The boy jumped on both feet, clearly working himself up into a temper of sorts.

"It's impossible! Impossible I tell you!"

Daisuke made no move to try and pacify the child, since his instincts told him what was really behind the little bratty-like kid. With hissed, eyes narrowed into slits, but the boy continued to ramble on without paying any attention to either one of them. All the while, though, the redhead didn't fail to notice the act seemed to be wearing off quite rapidly and the power he had been feeling was getting stronger as well.

"Well, I'll be going now," he cut in, not caring about the boy's reaction, and walked off, his mind calmly working out a strategy for what was about to happen next.

"... Not so fast, little boy," the voice had changed from shrieky/bratty-high to a lower, more dangerous tone of voice, but Daisuke chose to ignore it and continued on his way. "I said stop!"

There was a bright stream of light – aimed directly at Daisuke – but as soon as it reached its target, it faded away casually.

The redhead turned slowly again to face the boy, his face a neutral, unreadable state, as he held up one hand, that was slowly glowing with dark red energy. His hair was moving slightly as the colour reflected off his face and grew steadily stronger as he faced his adversary.

"Who are you?" he asked softly.

"It really doesn't matter who I am," snarled the boy, his face a mask of cold fury. "But I was hired to destroy you now, Niwa Daisuke. And I have no intention of letting you get away!"

He lunged, knife drawn out, at the redhead, who repelled him with a beam of red energy. He drew back, wiping blood off his face at the force of the power, and glared at Daisuke.

"Why would anyone want to destroy me?" his face was an innocent picture of puzzlement and clear perplexity.

"You have powers that no one has seen for many generations," came the reply. "And by right it should be destroyed!"

Daisuke leapt out of the way of the mad boy's attack, not wanting to hurt the child. With seemed to have other plans than just avoiding and running, and had to be held back to stop himself from attacking the child.

"With, you have to keep calm!" he said hurriedly, only narrowly dodging another attack with the sharp knife. "I have a feeling that he isn't doing this on his own free will..."

"DIE!"

"Gah!" Daisuke felt the blade pierce his skin lightly and he flipped back on pure instinct – thanks to his parents training him on dexterity and speed. Landing far away from the freak, he inspected the wound. Blood dripped lightly and trailed slowly and fell onto the concrete pavement, but he was lucky enough that not only was it quite shallow, it hadn't ruined his school uniform.

"You bastard! Stop running away from me already!" the boy yelled in obvious frustration.

"This is no fun..." mumbled the redhead as he held his arm to staunch the bleeding. "And I'm gonna be late for school as well at the rate I'm going." He took a look at the clear sky, "Mum won't forgive me doing this... but I guess I haven't much of a choice at this point and time..."

As the skinny boy ran over in his direction, Daisuke ignored the bleeding that continued to flow steadily and brought both hands out in front of him, keeping his mind as focused as possible. The pain in his arm stung slightly and he brought his attention towards it as power seemed to flow in his bloodstream, rapidly making its way all around the circulatory system with every beat of his heart.

"This time you're done for!"

The boy leapt, but the redhead ignored him, closing both eyes as a pure red aura began to show itself all around him, vibrating slowly. The blood that fell from Daisuke's arm floated into his palms and he began to chant slowly in another language.

Almost instantly time seemed to freeze yet the aura continued to pulse through the redhead, as if it were alive and had a will of its own. The blood centered in Daisuke's open palms suddenly flickered gently, the liquid becoming a complete solid and forming into strange symbols and shapes. It also seemed to expand in size as it continued to thrive under the redhead's spell, whose eyes were completely glazed over and had a shimmer of silver emitting from the pupil.

(Concentrate on the source,) he told himself, recalling the lesson he learnt on the particular spell. (And try not to harm the person in any way possible. Work on the demon within...)

From his eyes, he could not only see the small boy – frozen in mid-jump and looking fairly comical – but a dark shadow thriving deep within his soul. In his current trance, Daisuke could sense the spirits that weren't 'living' on earth as well as the fact that he could see the demons that lived on earth.

He concentrated on the dark shadow that he had identified, and eased the energy into the smaller boy's body, keeping control over the power as well as he could.

(Don't get worried... it will be over soon...)

"You don't need to be afraid..." whispered Daisuke, his voice floating over the stillness that almost suffocated them.

Instantly time seemed to jerk back to life and the boy gave a shrill shriek of sudden pain and doubled over, dropping his knife in the process. The redhead ran over to the boy and bent over to try and see his face.

"Are you okay?" he asked gently.

The boy gasped and held himself closer, curling into a ball. "It... voice in my head... the pain... make it stop..." he whispered pitifully.

"Don't worry," the silver had left Daisuke's eyes, but he felt drained. Concentrating on a simpler spell, he placed a hand over the other boys head and muttered a few words. Silence fell across the two and after a while, before the redhead's eyes, the dark shadow he'd identified seemed to emerge from the victim's body and glared at him with crimson eyes that were narrowed into slits.

"So... you know how to exorcise demons, boy?" it hissed in a raspy voice, flickering as it began to disintegrate thanks to Daisuke's spell. "So you really were the one that I was supposed to destroy..."

(You mean that you would have killed anyone that passed your way?) thought the redhead in wonderment and apprehension.

"But don't think that just going to that school will keep you safe from us..." continued the shadow as it was almost eaten away completely. "We will be back, boy, don't think that we won't be back for you..."

A harsh breeze swept by and the shadow laughed; it was a high, piercing shriek of sorts that made the redhead cover his ears at the pitch. As quickly as the breeze had come, it was gone, and Daisuke could only gape soundlessly at what had just happened to him.

It also took him some time to remember how badly his body had been used up to its extent and he sat down heavily next to the boy, who was still curled up into a tight ball and refused to look at him.

"Are you okay now?" the redhead asked in an attempt to create conversation.

"Uh-huh..."

"Well, that's good," he shook his head and poked the still cautious With playfully. "I... I guess I better go now. Uhm... do you know which way I should go to reach Aurora Academy?"

"That one?" there was disbelief in his voice. "You're going there?"

"Yeah."

"You're crazy," finally freeing his head from the tight ball he had created, the boy pointed aimlessly in one direction. "But it's that way."

"Thanks," Daisuke got up and began to go the same way that he had been directed, "And take care, okay?"

"Uh-huh..."

Ignoring the feeling of weariness that throbbed in every limb of his body, the redhead picked up the pace, well aware of the consequences if he was late for his first day at a new school – forget being scared of his parents being angry, school was going to be far worse than anything they could do.

"Kyu!"

"Huh? What's wrong, With?" Daisuke raised his eyes upward to see part of the ball of fluff that was his pet, only to run into a pole close by. "Owwwww..."

"That was a pretty ungraceful way to hurt yourself," said a voice right behind with a tone of interest.

"Wa?!" extracting his now bleeding nose from the metal pole, the redhead turned to face the speaker. A girl with bright yellow hair that fell past her shoulder blades and large blue eyes blinked innocently at him for a moment. Her face then split into a smile and she laughed at him.

"You must be new here, then," she stuck out a hand to him. "Hi, I'm Hikaru Furijima."

"Daisuke Niwa," unconsciously he pulled a tissue – which his mother had given him for reasons unknown – and tried to staunch the flow of blood escaping his nose, "Nice to meet you."

He knew at once that she attended the school that he was about to attend due to the uniform she was wearing. But before he could work out what was going on, she laughed again and started to run off.

"Come on already, then!" she called playfully. "If we're late, than the teacher's are gonna kill us! I'd like to see that happen!"

Still holding the tissue to his nose, Daisuke followed after her at a steady pace, wondering what had gotten With to be so annoyed before. The tone that the creature had used had been so... weird.

(I wonder what has With so worked up...) he thought, but stopped when he noticed that he had lost sight of Hikaru and that he had reached a large, dreary-looking building that was obviously filled with more magical content than one could actually handle on a daily basis.

Apprehensive due to the fact that he could locate the barrier that surrounded the entire school, Daisuke took a step through the iron gates and gazed at the numerous amounts of students that were hanging around.

"I thought I was late..." he mumbled, suddenly feeling incredibly nervous and out of place, while With 'kyu'-ed in agreement. (And this place gives me the creeps as well... I don't like this...)

"Well, on the first day of a semester, no one really cares too much about what's goin' on until the teachers blow up something good," said a male's voice close by and Daisuke turned. "Really, it's all good fun to see how annoyed the adults get before that happens, and it's highly entertaining."

A boy with dark brown hair had his back against the wall of the school entrance and had both eyes closed, arms crossed across his chest. He seemed to be frowning, and, while the redhead could only blink at him, he shrugged.

"A newbie, huh?" he stood up properly and opened his eyes, giving Daisuke a calculating look. "Got attacked by the one and only freako kid out there and harassed by the girly girl as well, right?" He waved a hand lazily at the wounds on the redhead's arm and nose.

"Huh?" Daisuke started hesitantly, not quite understanding what was going on. "Oh, uh... you see..."

"Yeah, yeah, guess you would be confused," the boy stuck out a hand, "I'm Ryu Kinamora. Been here since grade seven, you?"

"Daisuke Niwa," he shook the other boy's hand. "Like you said, I'm new here. First day. I used to attend Azumano Junior High before they found out I possessed 'unnatural' powers."

"So then, Daisuke, a question for you," Ryu grinned and waved a hand over at the building as he asked his question without waiting for a reply from the still nervous boy, "What d'you think o' this place?"

"It's... interesting," the redhead flinched at the sound of a large explosion and Ryu's grin widened considerably.

"Well, although people out there call this Aurora Academy," he started in a matter-of-fact tone, "It's far from being a school where you merely learn how to control your powers. We students aren't ones to be manipulated, so this school has another name by our terms. So let's do this properly, ne?

"Welcome to Psycho Academy."

---

Well, don't expect any updates soon, so I hope you enjoyed this prologue. Not really one, but I'm calling it that. Don't worry, the whole cast from both series are present, but it will take some time to get them all in. Not to mention a large number of new characters, some big roles, others little. Nice.

Some questions I asked myself that I decided to answer out of pure boredom:

-Why DNAngel and Megami Kouhosei? I just got into Candidate for Goddess, so I thought, why not? Will most likely have other characters from many other places, but that's for the future (and my brain) to decide.

-Why would Emiko let Daisuke still go? Um... she just did. He has... powers that are dangerous if not controlled properly... I guess...

-What was with the history lesson things? Something I'm doing when I'm bored. Will come and go at random, but explains the story of Megami Kouhosei as such just in case you don't know what that is. Other than that...

-What was with the exorcism thing that Daisuke did? Will be explained later... trust me.

-Wacky boy? He was put in at random... and that's what ended up happening. Weird, huh?

-What's with the names? Last names anyhow. Let me tell you that I have a tendency to make up names, because the normal ones are too boring... so there you go!

-Psycho Academy? Name actually comes from Psychic Academy (which I haven't read, sadly) and, well, since people are going over the top here, I think the name suits it. Heheheheh...

-Will there be pairings? Dunno. Do you want them?

Uh... that's it. If you have more questions, then go ahead and ask. I don't mind. Well... this won't be updated too many times a week, since I have a load of other stories to do, so yeah. Hope you enjoyed it! Come back sometime! Or at least try to read one of my other fics... if you want. Other then that... take care people! Later!
