Anima+

chapter 2

"what do you mean, Granma?" I yelled

I can sort of believe that I am half dead. I have watched more than one TV shows that express the idea of having a second half life, if you will. But, the fact that I am in a long line of Danny phantom like beings is totally pushing it. Last time I have checked, I wasn't a gullible person. I have a hard time dealing with the un science-y, type stuff. It doesn't intrigue me or creep me out, it ticks me off because it doesn't make sense. " Raven Tesla Pope, now you listen here!" My Granma said in a harsh tone. "you're both a youngling and an unassociated party in limbo, not to mention I am your elder both ways. you can choose to ignore me, which won't help because you'll be killed where you stand and will never be able to get a second life." She pause.

"What is this, Mario?" I thought. She then continued in a lengthy speech that If I did help I will gain a higher understanding for life and a whole bunch of other bull that in hindsight, Seems like a filler to waste a bunch of time. When she finished, my legs were tired of standing. The other 4 elders were asleep and the guards were fooling around playing with some pokémon cards. "All you need to do is to keep all supernaturals in line." She finished.

"police duty, huh?" I scratched my head.

My dad was a police officer. He didn't like the job because he was more of a thinker than a fighter. Though he still do it because I loved to hang out at the station and anwser emergency calls, or when he patrol an area and catch a robber or the like. He felt bad when my mom left him 6 years ago. He wanted to spend as much time with me as possible. I had stipulations that he agreed to. Maybe this anima stuff wouldn't be so bad after all. I get to solve crime and kick bad guys asses.

After about 30 seconds she spoke in a endearing tone " would you like to join SDF."(a/n SDF means supernatural defense force)

I nodded.

" good now you need some training before you go out in the field. Even though we're related doesn't mean you'll jump right to the top. I mean -" she started to do speeches again.

I interruptted her with "when do I start?"

"dearly your training just did. I'm the 1st lesson, and if your paying attention you would of see that." I gulped at the fact that I mistake her windy explanation as her nostalgic reverie. " Now in the SDF you have 3 things to uphold, peace, swiftness, and anonymity. You have to keep the peace of limbo and earth by quickly solving/stopping problems and keep humans from discovering supernaturals. These three rules of the SDF has kept this plane from destroying itself or others" instinctively I raised my hand. " ahh, yes raven?"

"can you define the number of dimensional planes that I have to defend."

" depends on the number of officers on duty or available. Sometimes one, sometimes 4."

"four?"

"yes, there is earth, limbo, higher plane and lower plane. Earth is what many call a middle man between the higher and lower plane, each plane gain population by what each being on earth do on earth on a karma like system.(a/n like go to hell for bad and heaven for good) limbo, however is a plane that overlap earth because this is the only plane that hold the earth together. Supernaturals are deem as magical beings solely on the fact that they do things not earthly possible. So based apon that they keep all living factor in the green by feeding on the what many people called mana. Mana is a deadly substance too much in any living body can kill them in a heart beat. " she drones on about mana.

............

I yawned as I stepped out of the elders auditorium. My dad's mom sure can talk. If it wasn't for the noon time bell signifying a elders meeting. I would of been there forever. I ambled down a corridor as I try to

figure out what to do. "you wanna train youngling SDF officer." Lizzy said behind me.

She scared the hell out of me doing that. Her face smirking at the fact that I was scared. " what the yell you want?" I said glaring at her.

"do you want to train, this is going to be 2 of 3 lessons if you do?" She asked again.

"anything to quicken this process." I said.
