A.N.: Hello once again everyone. We are now in Chapter 5 of this story and I have to say: This is my most popular story thus far on my profile so I have to thank you all who view this little story. I know it's not much of a story or a way of saying thank you, but here I present to you viewers chapter 5. As usual, I'd like to thank 0er0 for lending Nanami and Weiss, DragonDude23 for Beta. Now let's get this show on the road.

Maka frantically looked down and up the street as she lost the presence of Medusa. 'Where is she?!' She shouted in her head, 'I know what I sensed, so Medusa should be here. Was it all my imagination?' Maka stopped looking back and forth and looked down sighing.

Soul, who was watching the whole scene, walked out and put a comforting hand on her shoulder. "Everything alright?" He asked in his usual calm demeanor.

Maka again sighed and looked at her weapon partner dead in the eyes. "I thought I saw Medusa's Soul..."

"Don't be ridiculous." Soul said, "We took down Medusa with the Genie Hunter after she nearly killed her own child." (A.N.: I will not say Crona's gender in the fanfic for I do not know, if you're willing to, just tell me what you think his/her gender would be. I think it should be a boy since the english voice actor sounds male enough.)

Maka remembered that awful moment when Crona had pushed her out of the way and was stabbed. It was heartbreaking to watch, and Maka nearly lost herself to her anger if it wasn't for Miss Marie and Soul. "Yeah I remember." She groaned slightly. 'Maybe it was just my imagination after all...'

"C'mon, thanks to your little detour, we'll need to move it now if we don't wanna get scolded from Kevin." Soul said trying to hold back a laugh.

"What's so funny Soul?"

"It's just Kevin... What can he actually do? Make us stand in a corner, or scold us and tell us no?" Soul was down right chuckling at the small joke. Which definitely earned another Maka-Chop. Making this the second one today. "Ow? What I do now?"

"Oh shut up and walk already. It's bad enough we're late and now it's worse to underestimate someone who's acquaintances with Lord Death himself."

Soul rubbed the back of his head grouchily and walked away with her. Both of which were completely oblivious to the figure watching them from another plane of existence. Then again, no one noticed unless you were in Shibuya's Underground.

"So you're certain that he's the one that can do it?" Kevin asked in a whisper to Joshua. Joshua was just putting on his usual smile and ignoring the question with a hello to Neku.

"Josh? What's going on?"

"I'd like to know the same thing. Are you guys trying to steal my thunder?" Black*Star asked the duo suspicious to their presence.

"Um... What?" Shiki asked.

"Just his ego being a flare bomb as usual." Neku said.

"So you know Black*Star? I can't even begin to imagine how much of him you can stand." Kid said walking closer to Neku. "But I've got to say it now: You've got a beautiful pair of headphones."

"Um... Thank you..."

"But, they do not belong with asymmetrical hair resting underneath." He shouted, "Obviously this must be fixed!"

"Um... What?" 'Is this kid high?' Then Kid started to walk towards Neku with scissors and a comb and other hair styling supplies around his waist which had Neku staring with his mouth agape in awe. 'Yup... He's totally f***ing high...'

Liz rushed up to Kid and punched him square in the face. "Are you insane?!" She yelled angrily, "What if he likes it like that?!"

Kid regaining his composure and somehow lost the hair care products. "You're right Liz." Kid said while getting up and dusting himself off. "I'm sorry for being inconsiderate with your asymmetrical style. My name's Death the Kid. But my friends and father just call me Kid." Kid held his hand out for Neku to shake and hopefully take it.

Neku took the hand and they did a firm handshake. "Don't worry about it. I'm Neku Sakuraba. But why does your name have 'Death' in it? I understand the Shinigami is awesome, but why?"

"He's Death's son." Joshua broke in calmly.

Neku took a moment to register the information he was given. "What?! You?! I mean... You totally do have the looks to be him with the whole rings and tie thing, but... just... wow..." Neku hadn't been this flabbergasted since he found out Hanekoma was CAT.

Joshua, who was just being in the background for a moment, looked over to Shiki, who was already conversing with Liz and Tsubaki while Patti and Black*Star were just laughing for no reason. Joshua smiled at the peace. Though it wouldn't last long he knew. There was gonna be a fight. A big one. Where not only Shibuya was at stake, but the rest of the worlds were too.

"So Joshua, those two are the ones you were talking about? I thought you said a gang of them." Kevin said.

"And I meant it. There are six... However one is not how they seem and another one needs to face someone close."

"How do you know all of this?"

"One of my friends is Composer, so I have my ways...~"

"Right. But what about the other two?"

As if to answer his question, a 'yo' could be heard from the totally random crowd. Neku and Shiki knew that saying from anywhere. "Beat! Rhyme!" The duo cried joyously at the two new comers. One was a girl with her blonde hair and blue eyes with a black beanie with a small skull on it. She wore a pair of white shorts that were above her knees slightly and an orange shirt with long sleeves with a black skull and cross bones on it, but the skull was in the shape of a heart almost. Around her neck she wore a bell shaped pendant. Her name was Raimu Bito, but everyone just calls her Rhyme. Rhyme is a calm and reasonable person with an optimistic view in the world. She is always wearing a smile and is kind to anyone she meets, so it's hard to hate her.

Her brother Daisukenojo Bito, or Beat since it's simpler for him, was much taller than she was and had more of a build. Not as much as Black*Star but pretty similar due to their age. Beat wore a hat similar to Rhyme and had his hair in a similar style. He wore a white muscle top with a chain around his neck with a skull. He wore tan pants with a chain on the right side. He also wore a black wristband around his right wrist. Beat tries to act tough but in actuality he's a really nice guy! But he gets embarrassed when people find out about it. Although he is a bit loud and impulsive from time to time and is a bit dense so he may take things a bit too literally, but he'll get it after a moments thought. Overall, Beat's just a good guy who'd do anything for his friends.

Neku and Shiki ran up to the siblings and greeted them with overflowing glee. To which Beat was confused and Rhyme could only smile. "What's going on guys?" Rhyme was the first to ask.

"W-well to be honest, it was kinda weird today. We met some new people and uh..." Shiki didn't know how to describe the fight she and Neku had a few hours ago. They glanced at each other but quickly turned away.

Rhyme got the picture. "Well glad to see you guys earlier than expected."

"But aren't you guys supposed to get back tomorrow?"

"We had to leave early... I don't really wanna talk about it." Rhyme had a disappointed look on her face and glanced over to Beat.

"Oh... Alright then. I won't pry." Shiki said.

Beat was off talking with Black*Star and the two were laughing and gloating to each other on how great they were or simply just laughing along with Patti about a joke no one may ever know...

"So Neku," Kid said, "These are your friends I'm assuming."

"You assumed right." Neku replied, "Joshua. Mind telling me if this was all your doing?" He asked the ash blond.

"In a way. I only played a small part into bringing you all together. Now Kevin," His attention and everyone else's was focused on Kevin, "Mind telling me where are you last two star students are... I'm dying to meet them."

"We're right here!" Maka shouted while her and her partner Soul ran. When they got there, they were panting heavily.

"Whew, talk about some run." Soul heaved. The partners looked around the crowd to find some new faces hanging around the team. "And mind telling us what's going on?"

"It's a long story." Kid said plainly.

Maka noticed Neku and vice-versa. They stared locked eye to eye. 'Why does he seem so familiar?'

'Have I met her somewhere before?'

Then, simultaneously, they thought 'Nah, can't be.'

Kevin noticed this connection between the two and smiled, 'So Joshua was right. If these two are the ones I think they are, then we may-'

"Kevin-niisan," Maka said to break the awkwardness of staring and Maka receiving a small but brief glare from Shiki, "Can you tell us what we're supposed to do now?"

"Yes I can." He answered simply. "We're doing a clean-up of all the Kishin eggs that have been sprouting up recently. ALL of us." He made sure to emphasize 'all'. "And stop it at it's source. Now I have something to help us combat against this threat..." He picked up the smaller black suit case from before and revealed 8 cell phone like devices. Each had a different design on it. He handed them out to the Shibuya kids (Save for Joshua) and to the meisters of Shibusen and not their respective weapon partners. Each device had a special design on it, matching each person's traits. For example, Neku's had a few music notes and the Reaper's game decal on it, Shiki's had a picture of various color sewing thread resting on a table, Beat's was a board grinding on chains, Rhymes had music notes like Neku's but it was coming from a bell.

Maka's had a yellow picture of what looked to be Soul's head (The logo for the show obviously), Kid's was a symmetrical picture of his father's skull, and Black*Star's had a black star on it (Figures). "Not that these aren't great or anything, but what are they?" Maka asked the question on everyone's mind.

"There called Enigmas." Kevin answered.

"Well they do look like an enigma." Neku replied.

"Open them up." Joshua said.

Five of them were a little nervous since they thought for a minute. But not Beat and Black*Star. They opened them right up to reveal a big slot in the middle and six slots surrounding it. But the slots were all connected differently. Maka's and Rhyme's was in what appeared to be one line, Neku, Shiki, and Kid's were in two lines, and Black*Star and Beat's was in a three line. "What does this have to do with anything?"

"They serve as devices which generate magics depending on the Quartz inside. Quartz are crystal-like that can fit into the slots and are element oriented with seven elements: Fire, Water, Earth, Wind, Time, Space, and Mirage."

"So pretty much we can do magic with these things?"

"Yes, and you don't even have to take them out to use them. There are also Master Quartz which have different affects for your team. They're the big ones that fit into the middle."

"But there are none in the middle and a few of these slots are unfilled" Kid noted.

"Yes. I only filled three, one that requires a certain element, and two random ones. The other ones you can customize on your own. And I have the MQ (Master Quartz) right here. I packed one of every element. So here you can choose." Kevin pulled out seven circular Quartz. But they were slightly bigger than the normal quartz. Black*Star chose Space elemented, Kid chose Time, Maka chose Wind, Beat chose Fire, Rhyme chose Water, Shiki chose Earth and Neku chose Mirage. There was no remaining Quartz but Kevin always had back ups.

"Now one last note: Depending on the number of lines the better the arts/magic will be. Less lines are good while more lines are bad. And Quartz also give you boosts, especially those MQ's. And Enigma's can aslo work like cellphones but are much simpler. Now, you, Headphones." Kevin said.

"My name's Neku Sakuraba."

"That's a nice name." Maka commented, earning another glare from Shiki.

"Well, me and Joshua have a present to give you." Kevin took the other black case from Joshua's bag and Joshua didn't fuss about it, and handed it to Neku. "Now... open it."

"U-um OK?" Neku opened the case and it revealed a bronze colored sword. But the sword wasn't like any Neku ever saw before. It had a weird shape to it. (To make this explanation simple, Leonhardt's sword from Sora no Kiseki. Just Google Kernviter and look at the images of Loewe and the blade.) Neku instinctively grabbed the blade's hilt and picked it up. In an instant he felt a strange... bonding with the blade- no, with a soul in the blade.

"Kevin, you used the Heretic Witch's method on weapon partners didn't you?" Kid asked apprehending like.

"Guilty is charged."

The soul in the blade came to life once more fully and the blade transformed from Neku's hand to a glowing figure who was standing on the ground. When the light cleared it revealed a person with their eyes closed who lost their balance but Neku caught him and brought him to the ground gently. They all got a good look of his face. He had ash blond hair which almost looked silver. He wore a red laced necklace around his neck with a silver pendant on it. A long sleeved black shirt and grey pants with red and black shoes. He looked somewhere around sixteen or seventeen This guy was a bit of a serious person who likes to mock his enemies from time to time to give himself an edge. He cares deeply for those who have a special place somewhere to him. He's known as Leonhardt, but everyone uses a nickname for him, so Loewe is fine. Loewe opened his eyes slowly to reveal a pair of violet eyes. Neku stared into them and felt on fire and chilled at the same time. "I..." He spoke, "Heard everything... If I'm going to be part weapon and human and someone's partner, then let me hope he/she is reliable..."

"P-partners?" Neku stammered.

"Yup." Joshua said, "You guys are now partners, like the Shibusen kids."

"I have no problem with it." Loewe simply said.

"R-really?! So uh, the name's Neku, what's yours?"

"Leonhardt. But everyone just calls me Loewe, Leon, or sometimes Lorence."

"Talk about nicknames."

Loewe chuckled and stood up. There weren't a lot of people around so no one really witnessed what transpired the last two minutes ago. "Same to you, Headphones."

"We just call him Phones." Beat added.

"Thank you Beat." Neku said sarcastically.

A.N.: I hope all of you enjoyed this chapter. static. zerochan full/31/07/790381 .jpg Just remove the spaces on the link to see what Loewe looks like and what his weapon form looks like. But he doesn't wear his usual over coat... yet. Anyway until next time, bye :)
