Please keep in mind this was written before the manga. Along with the first chapter. I haven't caught up with the manga yet, but I'm assuming they're gonna have something on how all this happened. This was just my take on it. Hope you like anyways! Warning, I just reread this and the storyline is actually pretty weak. I don't really like it but I'll leave it up anyways.

Sono uta o…

The last chords of Crow Song rang out through the air. Iwasawa smiled contently. It was perfect. The first time they, as a band, played Crow Song flawlessly. Hisako looked over at her excitedly grinning. Iwasawa grinned back, as she let the last chord resonate in the room.

Perfect.

A shriek pierced her ears. Sekine was leaping up and down doing 360's and Irie was beaming happily.

"YAAAAAY! WE DID IT!" Sekine screeched, leaping in Iwasawa's face.

The vocalist grinned back at her. "We sure did. Great job you guys." She said.

"That was good. Now if only we had another song…" Hisako trailed off, grinning at Iwasawa meaningfully, who was putting her guitar on her stand.

Iwasawa smirked at the guitarist and her best friend. "Got it, got it. I'll get to it after lunch." She said, cool as ever.

Hisako smirked back. "Fine then. Let's eat!" she threw her fist in the air and charged out the door. Sekine screamed "YAYYYYY!" again and charged out right after her.

"Hey! Wait for me you guys!" Irie panicked, running after the two resident hyperactive psychopaths of the band.

Iwasawa sighed, and jogged after them. "Don't bother waiting!" she called out.

When she got to the cafeteria, Hisako Sekine and Irie were nowhere to be found. She sighed, and stepped in line for the beef udon. Behind her, a girl and a few boys seemed to be arguing. The girl had maroon purplish hair a little below her shoulders, a black headband, and a light green bow on it. Her emerald green eyes flashed, annoyed. One of the boys had neck length blue hair and bluish purple eyes. He was talking animatedly to the girl and was waving his hands around. Another boy had short brown hair. He was rather large, and was wearing judo sandals. He was nodding enthusiastically to whatever it was that the blue haired guy was saying.

The third boy had purple hair, and purple eyes. He had a large halberd with him and was staring dreamily at the girl.

The last boy had black hair and black eyes. He had a sword and was leaning against the wall. They were all wearing different uniforms than Iwasawa and the rest of the student body but the same as each other.

"How odd… and what's with all the weapons? Are they part of some cult? I didn't even know this world has those kind of things." Iwasawa mused, then shifted her feet and turned sideways. This line was really long… she was getting bored.

The blue haired boy had shook his head, and said "Okay, so how bout this? We put up signs saying "Free Food in the Cafeteria at 10:00 pm" up around the school, and people will come for the food right? So when they all show up, we secretly lock all the doors and windows, then we'll launch Matsushita from the ceiling and everyone will gather around to see, then we start the fans and blow away their tickets and take them for ourselves!" The brown haired boy was nodding, then stopped and said "Wait, who do you plan to launch from the ceiling?"

The girl frowned in thought. "That may actually work…" she mused thoughtfully. "But who do you think's gonna go for that lame "Free Food" bit? I like the fans though. But we need better bait. Something that captures attention, and that the NPC's will enjoy. Something… something like music!" she shot up, eyes glowing with excitement.

"We'll get them with music!" she said elatedly.

The blue haired boy frowned. "Oh yeah. Good idea Yurippe, why didn't I think of that? Remember those two girls from before? The ones that put on a random concert with guitars and got chased away by teachers? The NPC's were pretty pumped up about them. All I heard for the next month or so was how awesome those two were.

The black haired boy shifted. "The brunette was really hot." He murmured. Iwasawa's eyebrows shot up, and she casually turned around, hoping they wouldn't notice her. Luckily for her, they didn't seem to.

The girl's eyes lit up with a blazing green fire. "YES! If we can find them or someone like them and get them on our side, we'll have the perfect diversion, and we won't have to hurt anyone including ourselves. All we have to do is advertise them, and blow the fans at the concert's climax, and the SSS can hold off Angel. It's perfect!" she said animatedly waving her hands around, and accidentally smacking the purple haired guy in the face, smashing his reverie. His tan face grew red, and he held his cheek where she hit him.

"How does she come up with these extremly detailed plans off the top of her head?" the bluenette muttered.

"That's a good idea and all, but how do you know people'll show up?" asked the large brown haired boy.

The girl shrugged. "You heard them play, they're good, and they're attractive people. Plus, they're girls. Girls are awesome. Usually. It should work out." She nodded, satisfied with herself.

The blue haired guy asked "Do you even remember what they look like?"

The girl put her hand on her chin in thought. "Let's see… one had reddish pinkish hair to the shoulders right? And she had black boots I think? The other one was a brunette with a ponytail? She had a blue guitar?"

The guys nodded. "Yeah that sounds about right." The black haired one said.

"Wait that description... it sounded exactly like me and Hisako. Or maybe we weren't the only ones who put on a two person guitar concert..."

Iwasawa looked up. It was her turn to order. She handed the lady behind her counter her food ticket wordlessly. The lady nodded and said "Here's your beef udon. NEXT!" Iwasawa took her food and moved on, leaving the five strangers to their conversation.

"IWASAWA! OVER HERE!" she looked over to see Hisako and Sekine waving at her. She headed over and sat down next to Irie.

"Yo. How's the food?" she casually greeted. Sekine nodded and spoke with a mouth full of noodles.

"Itf's gooudth." She said.

Irie scowled at her best friend. "Shiorin don't talk with your mouth full that's rude!" she scolded the blonde.

Sekine swallowed and said "Sorry, I forgot." in a sheepish voice. Irie sighed. Iwasawa smiled, amused at their usual antics. She broke her chopsticks apart and dug into her food.

Suddenly a pair of chopsticks flashed in front of her face snatching a piece of her beef, and they weren't hers. She looked over to see Hisako grinning triumphantly at her with a half-eaten piece of meat in her chopsticks.

Iwasawa stared at her friend. Said brunette smirked and ate the rest of it. "So, that song?" she asked.

"Huh?" Iwasawa said blankly staring at the brown haired guitarist.

Then something behind her best friend caught her eye. The girl and blue haired boy from before were sitting at the table behind Hisako and they were staring at her with wide eyes. They were sitting at a long table with many others wearing the same uniform as them. The boy nudged another boy, and soon the whole table was staring at her. Hisako didn't notice, as her back was turned to them and Sekine and Irie were too busy mashing wasabi and soy sauce together sticking rice in it artfully, poking at it with their chopsticks.

Iwasawa turned away slowly. Hisako tilted her head curiously "Eehhh? What's wrong Iwasawa?" she asked, leaning forward.

Iwasawa shook her head. "Nothing, nothing at all." She replied. Finishing her beef udon, she stood up.

"I'm done. I'll be going now." She announced, standing and taking her dirty plate. In the corner of her eye, she saw the girl from before gesture to another girl with long, dark blue or black hair and red eyes and a scarf around her neck. She looked like a ninja. The ninja girl nodded, and leapt up before disappearing.

Iwasawa hastily shoved her chair back and started walking out of the cafeteria. "Hey! What's the hurry?" asked Hisako, quickly leaping up and grabbing Sekine and Irie by the arms. Running, they caught up to Iwasawa who was already back in the band practice room.

"Iwasawa? What's with the sudden exit?" asked Hisako, panting slightly. Iwasawa looked behind her friends. There was a flash of black at the door. The redhead singer was officially suspicious. What did those people want? And who were they anyways?

She turned around, grabbing a paper and pencil. "I'm gonna start on that new song. I have a few good ideas." She announced, and sat down at a desk facing the window.

Hisako grinned and fist pumped. "Yes!" she turned around slapping Sekine and Irie five. Then she and Sekine sat down to tune their guitars, and Irie started tuning her drums.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door. Hisako turned. "Come in!" she called. The door opened and a small group of four filed inside. Iwasawa turned around. Hisako looked a bit confused, Sekine looked like she always did (hyper and odd) and Irie looked slightly concerned.

"Yo." Hisako lifted her hand in a simple greeting. "Can we help you guys?"

The purple haired girl from before stepped forward. Iwasawa's eyes widened slightly in recognition.

"Hi! My name's Yuri, and this is the I- Feel- Dead -Battlefront. I know this is a little sudden, but could you guys join up with us?" she asked.

"That's a terrible name…" the black haired boy muttered darkly.

Hisako looked at her suspiciously "Wait what? Who are you anyways?" she asked, carefully eyeing their uniforms.

Yuri spoke again "The Shinda Sekai Sensen, or the SSS. As you probably already know, we're all dead and we've all had crappy lives. That's why we exist here right? So we decided to fight back. I founded this organization to do just that. We have multiple branches all around the school, and the members can be distinguished by our unique uniforms." She gestured around her.

"Wait, I'm confused." whined Sekine. Irie looked like her head was about to explode.

Iwasawa stood up and walked next to Hisako in front of Yuri. "What's the point of you telling us this?" she asked.

Yuri sighed. "Do you mind if we talk elsewhere? Angel might hear us here. Come on, let's go to a safer place." She started herding the others out of the room. Iwasawa Hisako Sekine and Irie exchanged confused glances, shrugged, and followed her.

They stopped in front of a door. The multitude of people parted to make way for Yuri, who seemed to be a leader of some sorts. "Wait." She said, holding out her arms so they couldn't get through.

Then one of the guys from before, the one with purple hair, ran forward. "What's with the wait?" he grumbled, and opened the door. Within a heartbeat, a huge hammer came flying down from the ceiling and smashed into him. He went straight through the window next to him and went flying with a fading scream.

"Moron." Yuri sighed, facepalming. The people behind her chuckled.

She turned to face the band. "You need a password to enter safe and sound." She explained, then walked through the door. The band members exchanged glances, and filed in behind her.

"So what's this all about? And who exactly are you people?" asked Hisako, looking out a window at a now deceased Noda.

"Oh that's right! We should probably introduce ourselves first right?" she said sheepishly.

"This is so stupid." Said a girl in a dark shadowed corner.

The band jumped. "Did any of you see her there?" asked Irie, gaping at the girl. Everyone shook their heads, and turned back to Yuri.

"Well I'm Yuri, leader of this badly named battlefront." She said gesturing to herself.

"That's Hinata," she pointed at the blue haired guy.

"Noda's the dead one outside," she gestured to the window. "The girl in the corner who keeps saying "This is so stupid" is Shiina," she waved behind her at the ninja.

"Matsushita the fifth, the fifth degree judo dude," the big guy.

"Fujimaki's the sword dude, Ooyama's the boring one, TK's the blonde dancer weirdo, and Takamatsu's the one who always straightens his glasses trying to look smart. But he's actually a moron." She pointed to each member while introducing them. They all waved and smiled in turn. Except Fujimaki who turned around and glared at the wall.

"You guys are a band right? Who's your leader? And why don't you introduce yourselves while you're at it?" she asked. Sekine and Irie pointed at Hisako and Iwasawa.

"We both co-founded the band, but you can talk to her." Hisako jabbed a thumb at Iwasawa who was staring blankly at the dead guy on the floor outside.

"And I'm Hisako." She did her signature wink, pointing to herself.

In the corner of her eye, Iwasawa spotted Fujimaki turning away, with a slight blush on his cheeks.

"I'm Sekine, and this is Irie." Said the bassist pointing to herself and the resident drummer.

"And that is Iwasawa!" They all said, gesturing to Iwasawa with jazz hands. The SSS members nodded and greeted them with a round of "Hi's" and "What's up?"

Iwasawa lowered her head in shame. Apparently her fellow band members lacked that one thing that she was feeling at the moment.

Yuri nodded approvingly and continued. "We're all here because we chose to fight back against the unfairness of our previous lives. We died young and unfairly. Death came after us quietly and indiscriminately. We didn't have a chance. But this world is different. We can exist here forever if we resist the enemy, Angel. We cannot die, we will never be ill, and we do not age. So if we fight back against God, we can take over this world and make it our own!" she exclaimed.

"…." Came from GirlsDeMo. Yuri tilted her head.

"You guys are all here in this world because you've had unfair lives correct? So why don't you fight back? Join us." She stepped towards Iwasawa with her hand extended. Iwasawa stared at her hand emotionlessly.

She replied "Can we all think about this for a bit? I don't want to be a dictator or anything, so we should all be able to decide what we want." She looked over at Hisako who seemed to be thinking hard.

Sekine spoke up for the first time "I'll join you!" she said, stepping forward. Yuri grinned at her, and shook her hand.

"We're glad to have you." She said.

Irie stepped forward. "I'll join too!" she said determined, and shook Yuri's hand.

"You won't regret it. Maybe." Yuri grinned cheerily at her.

Hisako sighed. "I guess I'm in too. Iwasawa?" she asked, shaking Yuri's hand and looking over at their prized vocalist.

"Hey, stop spacing out it's weird. And plus, we have no band without our vocalist."

Iwasawa stood up. "Fine. Count me in as well." She said, stepping forward to shake their new leader's hand. Everyone let out a sigh of relief at her words.

Yuri grinned hugely at them.

"Welcome, to the I-Feel-Dead-Battlefront."

AHAHAHA ANYONE REMEMBER THAT NAME? Lol that was a long one. I'm almost done right? No? I don't know, it's really late and I'm going nuts. This storyline was pretty weak, but I guess I'll leave it up.
