Soul Eater: Crystals, Stars and Bullets

Crystals, Stars and Bullets

A/N: This story is purely based on the manga "Soul Eater" by Atsushi Okubo.

I don't own it--because honestly, if I did, there would be a lot more SoMa action.

It is entirely FanFiction. Please pardon the foolishness.

~~

When we woke up, our heads hurt, we panicked, but most of all we didn't know where we were.

As far as our eyes could see, all we saw was sand.

It was hot. We were sweating, starving, thirsty.

I noticed something big and green from a distance. It looked like a sign, but I couldn't be sure.

I called my friends and we went in front of the huge thing.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

NEVADA, USA

DEATH VALLEY

Caution: Heat up to 134 Degrees Fahrenheit

-------------------------------------------------------------------

WHAT. THE. HELL.

I looked at all of my friends' faces and saw nothing but shock.

Mirrorring mine well, actually.

I gulped, my throat dry and my voice dissolving.

Seriously? 134 degrees Fahrenheit?

OH. NO.

Negative images encircled my mind: My friends' faces slowly drying up, dying of the dessert's heat...

Our body dissolving into dust, becoming sand...

And no one would've ever known that we had died here.

Like we never existed.

I fell on my knees. The inevitable outcome still not being able to be erased from my head: Death.

Die? I didn't want to die yet.

I still wanted to raise ten puppies, Build a pool for my future children, Try bungee-jumping, I still wanted to--

My friend came up to me.

With her face covered with worry, she asked "What's wrong?"

Suddenly, my head snapped.

I found my voice again and turned my anger of not being able to do anything to my innocent friend.

"What's wrong? What's wrong?! We are stuck in the Death Valley, which FYI is the hottest place on earth! We are gonna die!" I screamed.

Everyone's attention were on me now.

But I couldn't care less though.

This...

Just...just who's fault IS this?

She looked at me for a while, clear anger showed in her eyes. Exactly like she couldn't believe I had just said that.

No wait, she really couldn't believe I said it.

She went near me, grabbed me by my collar and yelled "No! We are not gonna die! We are gonna get out of here, and nothing in hell is gonna stop us!!"

She dropped me, my eyes wide.

"And if I know you, you wouldn't be like this." She muttered bitterly.

"The girl that I know would never ever give up. So now are you gonna whimper like a lost puppy or are you gonna stand up and do something?"

I was shocked at first but then smiled as I realized that what she did got me back to track. I grabbed the hand she was handing over and got up.

"You never fail me." I whispered so only she could hear.

She smiled too and we walked towards the others.

After talking to everyone, we headed north, ignoring the heat and the pain.

Then, when we stopped walking for--God-knows-how-long minutes--we came upon a huge...uh...building?

It didn't look like a building.

It had skulls...

Huge candles...

And a symmetrical form.

I know this...I know this all too well.

I stared at the unbelievable thing right in front of me.

Looking at the faces of my friends, I smiled.

It IS real.

I faced front as we spoke all together. "The Death Weapon and Meisters Academy."
