Chapter 3
Note: if the names get confusing just use the first letter ex. Maka= Mia, Black Star= Blaine EST.
The next day everyone left for Tsubaki's base. When they reached the gate there were three men standing around one of them was the largest man that came to Tsubaki and Black Star's apartment.
"Who are you and what do you want?" he asked
"We want to join your troops" replied Maka
"Hmm" the man looked at them for a minute "Do you know any fighting"
"Yes, we all know some sort of fighting" informed Kid
"I will be back" he thought as he left. He came back five minutes later this time with a woman, she was wearing army cloths, black hair in a bun, she looked serious, it was Tsubaki.
Once she got to them, she looked at them up and down "these are the kids?" She asked
"Yes, Ma'am" he replied
"And they know fighting?"
"Yes"
"Hmmm, Okay put them in group 2, they get cabin 30" she turned to them "you hear that? There are 3 groups one is newbies, two is experienced and three is pro" the group nodded "Names?"
"Mia" smiled the pink haired girl
"Storm" stated the brown haired boy
"Kevin" told the white haired boy
"Lidia" spoke the Black haired girl
"Pan" said the blue haired girl
"Blaine" chimed the blond boy
Tsubaki nodded, as she looked at the teens they felt familiar, maybe it was her missing her friends or they looked similar, she shook herself out of her thoughts "Okay, there is weapons training at five am, breakfast, then combat training after, then lunch, skills and strength training after dinner, then after dinner is your choice, a siren is trouble at camp, multiple bells are a meeting at the field, and a two bells is meal. I will send you the schedule and rules... dismissed" she turned and walked off towards the Bunkie
"I am Bowser, that is our boss Tsubaki, combat training is in an hour, go get unpacked" demanded the man before returning to his post
When they walked into the Bunkie it was all wood, there was three bunk beds, a bathroom, and three dressers with four draws each.
"Interesting" Liz looked around
"It's not as bad as I thought" sang Patty
When at the field, there were about 100 people around of all different sizes, at the far side there was a stage. Then after a minute Tsubaki stepped up "hello group two, we have twelve knobs as of today, for you New people TNT is an organization to prevent evil from taking over, we are just as effective but not as well known as the DWMA, yes roomers have been going around, since this is my second day back yes for the last few years I did have a great group at the DWMA, but as most of you know about my contract, yes Fig is back" there was a bunch of whispers "therefore we will be working had next week, unless things change, it will be our time to cream that bastard, I will let Bowser take over now"
Bowser stepped up "Yes, it's all true, if you don't want to fight leave, I am doing combat practices, and Tsubaki is doing weapons practice, and both of us are doing skills and strength, let's start with starches"
"Welcome to Weapons training, grab a weapon from the pile" shouted Tsubaki everyone grabbed a weapon, Maka had a scythe, kid, Liz, and patty had gums, Soul had a sword, and Black Star had a chain scythe.
"Good, weapons are awesome things they can make or break a fight" her hair turned into a chain scythe "Yes I am a weapon, human weapons are fully real, people treat us like we are nothing, but we are as much human as most of you, If you are a weapon, I don't care, here you will fight with a weapon, because you will not have a mister at all times"
"If you went to the DWMA wouldn't you have had a mister, why didn't you bring them back" interrupted a random kid
Tsubaki's friends perked up, especially Black star, Tsubaki frowned "That is none of your concern" she yelled, her eyes widened realizing she yelled, clearing her throat she continued "Anyways" she looked at Bowser and nodded "I can turn into many forms" there was a light then Bowser caught a chain scythe
Black Star snarled about to go up there, but Soul held him back "Don't blow our cover"
"I can also turn into a sword, dagger, a dummy star and more" she turned to human form again "but even if there are so many weapons, I would like you to know how to use them all, but I want you to be pro in one, if you have one you memorize the weight, your hand placing and more, my partner could use all forms, I don't expect that from you, now get in partners and spare I want to see where you are with your weapons"
When Tsubaki got to her friends group, she watch them before going over and tapping on Soul's shoulder who was going crazy up and down with the sword "Storm right?" he nodded "with a sword don't swing your arm you will get tired quicker, do point and stab"
Soul nodded then tried what she suggested; felling much better "very good" she smiled, the kept walking to the next group.
"You... Blaine" she pointed, Black Star turned from fighting Patty
"Yeah?' he asked
"It's yes ma'am"
"Sorry"
"You are very good with the chain scythe, very few can use it, and properly"
"Like your mister?"
"Yeah, he was good with all weapons" and with that she walked away
The next two days weren't bad, each one they learned something new, and were starting to have fun with Tsubaki's camp, even if it's a war camp. On the third night, the group decided to walk around, and explore the place.
As they walked they spotted Bowser staring at something sadly. They followed his gaze to a Bunkie, which had a large window, with Tsubaki looking over the Map table, she looked stressed out.
"What's wrong with her" asked Maka
"Oh Mia, Kevin, Storm, Blaine, Lydia, and Pan how are you?" he asked
"We are fine, but you don't look it" mentioned Lydia
"It's Tsubaki, I'm worried I have known her for years, she is like a little sister, she hasn't been herself" he paused "since we took her away from her friends at the DWMA, I can tell she misses them, it's different without her bother too"
"What does TNT stand for?" asked kid
"TNT stands for Tsubaki Nakatsukasa's Team"
"Oh, I see" Black Star nodded
Then a man walked up to the bunkie, he when inside they saw as the two talked.
"Damn, the enemy has been switching camps every night; she is stressing herself to find the right time to attack" Bowser pointed out
The man left, in the window Tsubaki stood still, they could see her clench her fists. Then she grabbed the lamp beside her, and threw it angrily screaming at the wall. She was breathing deeply until she stomped out of the bunkie and down the path into the woods.
"Damn she's going to her spot, when she is angry, can you guys follow her and make sure she doesn't hurt herself?" he asked
The teens nodded and followed down the path until they reached a training ground in the middle of the woods.
They saw Tsubaki angrily punching at a punching bag, after a while the anger turned to sadness and tears ran down her face she stopped punching, holding the bag in place she leaned her fore head on the bag, as tears ran down her face.
"I'm not fit to be a leader, I can't control anything" she cried to herself
As everyone watched from behind a bush, all their hearts fell seeing their friend like this.
"What do I do? Maka or Kid would know what to do, or even Soul, Liz and Patty would know to make it fun, Black Star would have the drive, I miss them so much" she cried even more
She then fell to the ground on her butt "Black Star what do I do? I wish you were here, this isn't me" she cried into her hands
Everyone watch their friend as she broke down, they wanted to go talk to her make her feel better, but they couldn't reveal them self's, not yet. Black star was suffering the most the person he loved was calling for him and he couldn't do anything.
Then she stopped sobbing and stood up, she whipped the tires away with a determined face "I have to stop crying, I'm leading people to war, I can't afford to break down, my friends would hate to see me like this, Fig your dead" she smiled evilly as she clenched her hands tight, then ran off down the trail
"That's my girl" smiled Black Star
