Me: Alright. Time to unveil my next story. Now this first chapter may turn out a bit small as I am only introducing the plot, characters, etc.

Soul: Well from what I read in your sneak peak it looks promising. Not too mention cool.

Maka: So wait…what's this story about?

Soul: Didn't you read the preview? Not cool Maka.

Maka: Maaaaakaaaaa…Chop!

Me: Aaaand he's unconscious. Maka would you do the honors?

Maka: Of course. S0uleaterevans does not own Soul Eater or any of it's characters. Although if he creates an OC then he owns it. Wait your gonna make an OC?

Me: Maybe. I don't know yet. But let's not worry about that right now. It's time. So without further ado. I give you chapter one to my new multi-chapter story. "A New Enemy- Rise of an Old Friend"…and yes keep in mind this is a SoMa.

Chapter 1: A Time of Peace

Soul's pov

I awoke to the alarm clock that Black Star had bought me…well…..he bought it for me but I'm pretty sure he tampered with it, because last I checked alarm clocks didn't have annoying voices that yelled "YAHOO!" every other second.

I knocked it off the nightstand in an attempt to silence it, but the damn clock was just as persistent and resilient as the real deal.

After fighting the loud, obnoxious noise and the sun's bright rays, I gave into the morning and opened my eyes.

I immediately wished I hadn't

"Good Morning Soul-kun! Now that you're up, come play with Miss Blair!"

Sitting on top of me in the position that would make others think less of me was the magical cat person Blair, and as a norm for this certain cat, she was barely clothed.

Not cool….

My nose erupted into a nose bleed and sent my head flying back to my pillow. Why did this always happen to me? Why can't I just wake up to a normal morning for once? This may have been funny a few years ago but it also got old a few years ago. Now? Now it's just a sure fire sign that today was gonna suck. The only thing that hasn't gone wrong so far is a certain meister that I live with barging into my room.

It's like I was psychic.

I heard a knock at my door and knew immediately who it was.

"Soul? Breakfast Is ready. Get your lazy ass out of bed. School is gonna start in an hour. We need to get ready soon."

Crap. I gotta get out of this uncool situation before she decides to waltz in. think Soul think.

"Yeah I will be out in a minute. Just changing." that should do it.

"Oh? Is Soul-kun gonna strip for Blair?" Blair asked a little too loudly.

"Shut up." I whispered to her.

"Soul was that Blair? You two better not be doing anything funny again. that's is I'm coming in." I heard my meister proclaim.

Crap I'm dead.

Everything happened so slowly.

The door opening, Maka walking into the room, the book flying at my head, Blair transforming into a cat and scurrying off.

Yeah. Today wasn't going to be cool at all.

After the bedroom incident I made my way over to the kitchen to eat with my meister. I only hope she's not too pissed off. A mad Maka in the morning was never cool.

"Hurry up and eat. Your food is getting cold." she scolded.

"Yes ma'am." I replied. I didn't feel like receiving another Maka Chop so early in the day.

"So today marks our first day of our last year of school! I can't wait to see everyone!" Maka chimed.

"Yeah. We are finally almost done with this whole learning thing. We are gonna graduate the coolest team ever. Thanks to the coolest Death Scythe ever." I bragged.

"Yeah well don't forget who made you the coolest Death Scythe ever." Maka retorted.

"Credit is given where credit is due." was all I said.

She sighed. I loved teasing my meister. One of the many joys in life to me. Even if I often received a Maka Chop or two.

Once we finished eating, we quickly gathered our books and other school stuff and made our way out the door. It was the first day of school and Maka was NOT gonna let us arrive late. The cool thing about that though was we got to arrive in style.

"Alright then hop on." I called to my meister, signaling her to get on the motorcycle.

"Do we really have to take that today?" she asked.

This took me by surprise.

"What's wrong? I thought you loved riding on the back of my bike." I stated.

"It's just I would like to walk to school together today is all."

"Nuh-uh. If you insist on being on time the first day then I insist we do it the cool way. Tomorrow we can walk to school, but today, we ride." I said tossing her a helmet.

"Fine." she replied before putting the helmet on and hopping on the bike.

Once I was sure she had a tight hold on me I revved the bike to life and sped off.

The morning air felt great rushing through my hair. I always enjoyed riding the bike the school.

But it was always short lived as we did live at walking distance from the school.

I parked the bike in our usual spot close to the long stair case that led to the main doors of Shibusen. Once we got half way up I could hear the yelling of a familiar blue haired assassin.

"Sounds like that idiot is giving his "god" speech again." I said out loud.

"He does this every year. Is he ever going to grow up?" my meister asked.

"Hell if I know. At least he's close to making Tsubaki a Death Scythe ."

"Yeah about time too." she commented.

Once we reached the top of the stairs we saw exactly what we were expecting. A group of kids, most of them new students, huddled around the entrance to the school, and standing in front of the doors was none other than Black Star.

"NOW LISTEN UP EVERYONE! I, THE GREAT BLACK STAR, WILL GRACE YOU ALL WITH A MAGNIFICENT SPEECH! YOU SEE I HAVE SURPASSED GOD! THAT'S RIGHT! WITH THE MINOR HELP OF A SMALL GROUP OF FOLLOWERS I WAS ABLE TO TAKE DOWN THE KISHIN HIMSELF. SO IF YOU WANT TO MAKE IT ANYWHERE IN THIS WORLD JUST FOLLOW ME AND YOU WILL GO FAR IN LIFE! OF COURSE YOU WILL NEVER BE AS BIG A STAR AS ME. DON'T FEEL TOO BAD. IT'S JUST IMPOSSIBLE FOR SMALL PEOPLE. HAHAHAHAHA. YAHOO!"

"Ugh as if I didn't already have a head ache." my meister complained.

"So not cool." I replied.

From behind Black Star a tall familiar looking woman appears.

"Hey look it's Tsubaki." Maka notes.

"I'm sorry about him everyone. He's always like this." Tsubaki apologizes.

"Ah good timing Tsubaki. I was just about to show you off." I heard Black Star tell his weapon.

"AND THIS IS MY WEAPON, TSUBAKI. WE HAVE CURRENTLY COLLECTED 99 KISHIN EGGS, WHICH MEANS WE ONLY NEED ONE WITCH SOUL! THAT'S RIGHT! TSUBAKI IS ABOUT TO BECOME A DEATH SCYTHE FIT FOR A GOD! YAHOO!"

"Black Star please this is embarrassing." Tsubaki wined.

"Poor Tsubaki." Maka sympathized.

"Not cool." I once again stated. "We better step in before he causes any serious trouble."

Maka and I make our way towards the blue haired meister and his timid weapon, but not before a certain shinigami and his pistols arrive.

"Black Star enough with all the racket. You can even make the air here seem asymmetrical with that constant wailing."

"HAHA. Your just jealous that I surpassed you! I am a god!"

"Only when it comes to annoying people Black Star. No one can surpass you in that." I state as Maka and I walk up to the group.

"Hey everyone!" Maka calls out.

After we all exchanged our greetings, we made our way into the school.

Maka's pov

Every took their old seats. Including Soul and I. it almost felt as if I was still trying to make soul into a Death Scythe . Such nostalgic memories.

There were conversations erupting from everywhere in the classroom as students explained how their summer went and what they planned on doing after graduation.

I was reading a new book that Soul had bought for me a few days ago. Despite the fact her never reads, he is really good at picking out books that I would like. He, of course, was dosing off.

it's a wonder he never flunked out.

But then again it's not like I could've let him flunk. If I did we wouldn't be where we are now.

Him an amazing Death Scythe .

And me the meister that made him.

We are an unstoppable team. At least we have been so far. Every mission we have been on has been a piece of cake. There hasn't really been a need for the entire Spartoi group to do any serious missions ever since we defeated the Kishin.

Now that I think about it. What will happen to us once we graduate?

I already knew that I would probably take up teaching as well as going on Death Scythe missions with Soul. But what would Soul do?

What would happen to us?

Will we continue to just be meister and weapon, even though my heart longed for us to be more?

No! stop Maka. Now's not the time to be thinking about that. Class is about to start.

I looked over to my weapon to find that he was still sleeping. I'm just gonna have to remedy that real quick.

I pulled out one of my text books and Maka Chopped him back to awareness.

"Ah! What the hell tiny tits! What was that for?" he wined.

"Class is about to start. You need to pay attention."

"How many times are we gonna go over this Maka? You take the notes. I will catch some z's and then copy your notes later. That's how we've always done this." he said giving me that lazy smile I loved so much.

"For crying out loud Soul you're a grown man and a Death Scythe no less. Start acting like it and take you own damn notes." I nearly yelled.

"Alright fine. I'm up." he sighed in defeat.

Behind us I could hear Black Star snickering.

"You know you have nothing to laugh at. You still haven't made Tsubaki a Death Scythe yet." I said teasingly.

"Come off it Maka. Just one soul to go and then we will see who's bigger!" he replied.

"Yep. We shall see."

Soul's pov

Man Maka can be such a pain sometimes. Making me do such uncool things. Like taking notes.

But still. she's the coolest meister anyone could have ever asked for.

And an even cooler best friend.

But she was more than that to me.

I don't know how, but somewhere down the line I had somehow fallen in love with this flat-chested bookworm.

Was it her smile? every time she smiled it filled me with joy and determination. Determination to always protect that smile and it's wearer.

Maybe her legs. Despite her flat chest she had the most amazing, god-given legs that I've ever seen. She truly has developed some curves over the years.

But I think what attracted me most to her was her soul. The beautiful angelic soul that I always resonated with.

We have been through a lot together. The two of us that is.

I remember the day I received the scar that runs along my chest. I had gotten it by blocking a fatal blow from reaching my meister.

And that same night I acquired a kind of sickness that still plagues me even as a Death Scythe .

And that plague came in the form of a demon.

A demon that haunts me in my dreams from time to time. That tries to drive me insane with madness. Even now he whispers obscure thoughts into my ear, even though the source of all madness was vanquished years ago.

But there was still the possibility of new kishins rising, and we all need to make sure we are prepared for it.

That is why I am a Death Scythe . That is why Maka and I will continue to be partners, even after we graduate. We will never stop fighting until all evil is vanquished, and all madness is gone.

But deep down I know, that as long as I have black blood in me, madness will always be around.

"Alright everyone quiet down! Class is about to begin." I heard Stein call out from the teacher's desk.

"Today we will be dissecting a frog."

"YOU'VE GOTTA BE FREAKING KIDDING ME!" surprisingly everyone yelled the same thing out in unison.

"Oh? Is there a problem?" Stein asked the entire class.

"YOU BET THERE IS! I, THE ONE WHO HAS SURPASSED GOD, ABSOLUTELY REFUSE TO DO ANY MORE BORING DISSECTIONS! THIS IS MY LAST YEAR HERE AND I WANT TO DO SOMETHING THAT'S NOT GONNA BORE ME INTO A COMA!" Black Star yelled.

"I have to agree with Black Star for once. Dissections were never cool to begin with but now they are just simply lame." I contributed.

"Professor Stein I have to agree with Soul." Maka added. "Can't we do something different this year?"

"And just what would you have in mind Maka?" Stein asked. "Most of you here of successfully obtained most of your kishin eggs and some of you have even managed to create Death Scythes. There really isn't much more I can teach you guys."

"I have an idea Professor." I heard Kid state.

"Oh? Then please do share." Stein replied lazily.

"I suggest that those of us who are part of the elite group known as "Spartoi" be excused from this class and be moved to a more advanced class where we can actually learn something." the young shinigami was serious about not wanting to be stuck here.

"Hm. Very interesting idea Kid. Very well I am eager to see how this little experiment turns out. All students part of Spartoi please step out into the hall for now. I will be out in a minute to inform you of where you will be placed." Stein concluded.

"Finally." I sighed out in relief.

And so everyone made their way to the hall way. Me, Maka, Kid, Liz, Patti, Black Star, Tsubaki, Kilik, Fire, Thunder, Kim, Jacqueline, Oxford, Harver, and the newest members to our team.

The sword meister Creydon Wingback, and his weapon partner Sapphire Blade.

Creydon was an average height male the same age as us. He had very short, brown hair and deep, turquoise eyes with pupils that formed slits similar to a cats. He had a medium build. Not too skinny but not too stocky either. He typically wore dark colored jeans, dark colored flannel shirts with a black jacket over it, and black shoes. He had a laid back personality like me only he didn't really care about being cool or anything. I respected the man a lot for that.

Sapphire fit her name almost perfectly. She had brilliant blue eyes. He hair was an even deeper blue, to the point where it looked more black than anything, unless she stood in the light, then you could see the blue shine off the black. She was clad white tennis shoes with blue anklet socks, she wore a blue mini skirt and white blouse. She also wore her shoulder length hair in a pony tail tied with a blue ribbon. She was the sassy type. Always spoke her mind.

"I wonder what that crazy goof has in store for us." Creydon wondered out loud.

"He's probably wondering how to best torture us. That creep has it out for me I swear." Sapphire said with a slightly scared look.

"Oi calm down you two, Stein's probably just gonna say we don't even have to come to school anymore." I said, well more like wished.

"That would be awesome!" Black Star chimed.

"I doubt he's gonna let us off that easy." Kid deadpanned.

"Shh, I think he's coming out." Kim motioned to us to cut the chatter.

Sure enough the door opened and Stein walked out, taking a drag of his cigarette.

"Alright I have decided the best route for you guys to take."

"And?" I asked impatiently.

The crazy professor took another drag out of his cigarette.

"I had talked with Shinigami-samma during class break and he told me it was time to put you guys through a special program. I can't explain the details right now, however I want you all back at this class room after school is over. I will explain everything then. For now you can all go home." he finished.

"Sounds good to me!" Black Star praised.

"Heeheehee. Did you hear that sis? We get to skip school today and not get in trouble!" Patti laughed.

"Yeah who would've thought Stein would allow us to do such a thing."

"Well I don't know about everyone else but I'm taking the doc's orders and leaving. See ya guys later." I said waving off.

"Hold on a second everyone. There is one more thing I wanted to tell you." Stein got in before I was able to leave.

"What is it now Stein?" I asked impatiently.

"Spartoi has a new mission."

At this statement everyone was now interested. Spartoi hasn't received a mission in years it seemed. So to receive one now is kind of a shock.

"There was some sort of accident in Germany. An entire city has been destroyed."

My eyes widened.

What in the world?

"Any casualties?" Maka asked sternly.

"Many. We are estimating in the hundreds."

"Do we have any clue as to what caused this?" Kid asked.

"We aren't 100 percent sure. But we believe that a new threat may be rising. Witnesses and survivors said that they saw something killing everything it's path. They say it looked human, but they weren't sure."

"So then what's our mission?" Maka asked.

"Spartoi is to leave for Frankfurt, Germany in two days to investigate. The city that was destroyed isn't far from there. You are to look for clues, leads, anything that can tell us what happened exactly. You are all now dismissed." and with that Stein walked back into the classroom.

"YAHOO! FINALLY SOME ACTION!" Black Star yelled.

"Yeah I gotta say that I'm kinda excited too. We haven't gone on a mission together in too long." Creydon stated.

"Great another long trip mission in which I'm gonna have to listen to Black Star rant and rant about his godliness." Sapphire deadpanned.

"Jealous?" Black Star teased.

"Black Star be nice." Tsubaki scolded him.

"I was just teasing Tsubaki. Not to worry."

"Well, anyways Maka and I will be heading back to our place. See ya guys later." I said waving.

"Later guys." Maka cheered.

"Isn't this exciting Soul? A Spartoi mission!" oh was Maka happy.

"Yeah it's cool I guess. I just hope for everyone sake that it does turn out to be some freak accident." I said with a tense voice.

She could always tell when something was bugging me.

"I'm sure everything will turn out ok Soul." she said leaning on my shoulder.

"Tired?" I asked.

"A little. Do you mind?"

"Not at all. Cool guys are always willing to lend a shoulder to a tired head."

"Thanks."

And so she her head on my shoulder, wrapping her arms around mine as we walked home. We were coming back so I didn't see the point in riding the bike.

Overall it's been a cool day so far. let's just see what Stein's idea of a special program is when we come back after school.

**Me: That turned out a little longer than I thought it would. My chapters for this story will all be about this long. I have big plans. Very big.

Soul: Kind of a slow start don't ya think.

Me: Yeah I'm not very good at introductory chapters. But hey! Two OC's! I hope you guys like them!

Soul: Yeah they seem pretty cool. Especially Sapphire.

Maka: Maaaakaaaaa

Soul: Crap

Maka: Chop!

Me: Poor bastard. Oh and if any of my reader's can draw I would love it if they drew me a picture of my OC's. Just let me know If you want more details!

Maka: R&R or I will take your soul!
