Desbear:
Maintenance; Terrible at first, but after you get it the first time, it's basically detention. As I sat my seat, I just sorta did the work I was given to do for the next couple hours, somewhat awaiting what was going to happen after detention... It was the third day. However, that's not what occupied my mind at that moment. I was more just sorta chuckling over how Steven and I got maintenance. See, I wasn't really sure why we got maintenance, but after people began to leave class, Archie pulled Steven aside. He had this somewhat angry scowl on his face, but didn't say a word; He merely pointed to us, and then the crumbling chalk board that only had the word "MAINTENANCE" left... And even that crumbled too, with a beautiful sound at that. Either way, we weren't really sure if we had maintenance, but we sure went there.

Anyways, as we were doing our work, the Stranger began to talk, explaining what was going on. To be honest, it was quite interesting if I have to say so myself, as he was explaining how he was doing the illusions. As he offered to show us the test take place, I couldn't help but sport somewhat of a smile. As I began to raise my hand, someone else spoke first... I believe her name was Jessie? She began to speak, rather loudly and quickly. Honestly, it was rather unsettling how happy she was about all of this. "I'll watch! I watched as she quickly ran up beside the stranger, almost like a puppy to their master. "I want to watch the test." When she finally finished yelling, I began to speak, a somewhat quiet tone to my voice... "I would like to watch the test."

As I finished my sentence, I looked to where Steven was sitting, to see if he was coming. To my surprise however, he had taken a book, one by that famous meister The Stranger had been talking about... Franken Stein, I think it was. He seemed quite interested in that book, I think the title was "Dissection for Dummies", and appeared to have no interest in watching the test. I simply shrugged and looked back towards The Stranger, waiting for us to begin watching the test take place.

The-Blades-slave:
Silene sat in the corner of her lap hugging her legs, head resting on her knees. Warren reclined beside her, his head laid back on his arms. His breathing was so soft and rhythmatic she was sure he was asleep. The rest of the classroom was surprisingly quiet, looking just like it had when their illusions had ended the night before. The arcane, nerve-wracking aura the Stranger protruded was still there, digging up the repressed memories. She shuddered, reaching over to softly run a hand over Warren's right arm. It was still there, all muscle and warm golden skin beneath her touch.

"It wasn't real, Silene. You don't need to beat yourself up over it." Warren's voice split her thoughts and she jumped and snatched back her hand like she'd been burnt, slightly embarrassed he had been awake for all that.

"Yeah, but... Doesn't it get to you at all? I couldn't do anything to stop myself." Her voice was low and it broke on the last word. "It's the weapons job to protect the meister, even at the cost of their life, and I couldn't."

Warren sighed and pushed himself into a sitting position, looking out at the classroom a long time before he responded. "Neither could the other weapons, and they aren't upset." He swept his arm across the room. Alex was over at the book shelf thumbing through the records in interest; Jessie was jumping up and down in excitement over something; Hason stood right beside her, conversing with the Stranger, and Steven had opened a book and was busy reading it. "You just need to relax, Sille."

Oh god, he had promised he wouldn't tell anyone about that goofy nickname. "Easier said than done, Ren." That got him back. He stiffened immediately, neck craning around to deliver a playful glare. The dark crackle in his eyes was reminiscent of the look he had given Dagen... which reminded her! "You said you'd tell me what was up between you and Dagen after class, so spill it."

The meister ran a hand through his shaggy hair, exhaling in exasperation as he did so. "Fine, if you'll stop bugging me about it." His gaze swept across the classroom, making sure no one was ease dropping before he turned back to her. "He was my partner before I left home."

Yeah, had put together that much. Silene motioned for him to continue, and he did. "My family had a longstanding tradition, it went back longer than I care to remember. My brother could probably tell you, he was more of a history buff than me. Anyways, the tradition was pretty easy to follow, thankfully. A lot of that stuff could get really convoluted, but this was really basic; the heir of the Black Sun clan, me, always partnered with the heir of the White Moon cla- hey, stop laughing. I didn't name them!"

Silene clapped a hand over her mouth, forcing down her giggles. Black Sun and White Moon? Really? "S-sorry, go on."

"Yeah, basically we always partnered to seal the partnership between the two clans. Dagen was the heir to the White Moon- Silene, I swear to death I will go back to my nap if you laugh again- long story short, we ended up partnered. We had a disagreement right before I left, and it probably broke the family partnership that I ditched him. He had always been a bit of a snide prick, though. I only realized it there at the end." His story ended and he laid back down, popping another piece of gum into his mouth.

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Silene folded her hands in her lap, wondering why she suddenly felt rather jealous. Why did she care if Warren had partnered with someone else before her? She had always assumed he had, but it hadn't ever really hit her. It didn't matter, though. Didn't matter that he was probably stronger than her. She honestly didn't care that they had known each other since they were kids, or that he was literally what Warren probably dreamed of in a weapon. "Hey, was he stronger than me?" Okay, maybe she cared a little.

"Huh? Oh." Warren shrugged, quite an amazing feat considering he was laying flat against the floor. "It really depends, I guess. I don't really think the word stronger is used right. Directly? Yeah, he made more damage, but he's mainly a one-trick pony. He can destroy things, but isn't maneuverable like you. There isn't too many options when they get up close when you're using a grenade launcher; if you fire, you're gonna hurt yourself. You can become resistant to your own attacks, sure, but no one is honestly immune. He also had a limit, since he was a Demon Gun. He uses his meisters Soul wavelength as ammunition. It can really be a drag at times."

Siene sat in slightly awed silence. Warren really did know his stuff. "Oh, um, thanks for telling me!" Silene leaned forward and pecked him on the cheek, blushing slightly. "And thanks for being a great guy, Warren."

It was a rare sight to see the Demon Scythe meister, heir to the Black Sun clan and one-time hardened criminal to blush, but the light pink tint to his cheeks left an accomplished feeling in Silene's gut. "Y-yeah, no problem." Maybe he wasn't as hard as he thought he was, after all. She hopped up, dragging him up with her.

"Lets go watch Dagen get his ass kicked!" The smile on Warren's face at that thought could have lit an entire city block.

Tickles:
As the other group came by to watch, the stranger put them under the same spell, but they could neither be seen nor heard by the two taking the test. The Stranger spoke to dagen and Malencia.

You, Dagen. Your soul is destructive in nature. Much like someone else. You knew each other, but he did something you can't forgive, can you? Was it a betrayal beyond your control? Or was not having control what felt like betrayal? There is something else. Something you prefer to hide.

Dagen felt the air chill. He had never felt this uneasy before around anyone. What was this guys deal. He kept his smile on his face.

There is nothing to hide then. Yeah, I used to kill people. I never ate their souls. Why risk my perfect weapon form. What are you trying at stranger?

The Stranger was stunned. Malencia looked on in confidence. Dagen revealed his past to her once before, but he wasn't that person anymore. The Stranger, knowing he couldn't shock this weapon, looked towards the meister.

You on the other hand are a tad more interesting. Never had I seen a soul that I couldn't fully understand. It's soft, and rhythmic. It soothes, as if being near you is enough to bring good feelings and emotions. You're brimming with confidence. The makings of a natural leader. However, you're nature alone is easily walked over. No one can seem to take you seriously, not even your own weapon. You also felt the sting of jealousy, your own, and from others. Hidden love? No, that's not it. You have poor self image don't you. Well, don't worry, I can make all of that disappear.

Malencia was stunned. She was confident in her abilities, but The Stranger got the other things on the nose. She just never told Dagen, who seemed to have a much more creepy smile.

He's saying you have big boobs

Dagen, not the time. Don't tell me what he said didn't get to you.

It didn't. They're just words. If he can see my soul, so what. It's the other feeling I'm getting from him... HEY WHAT THE--

And like that, The Stranger had Dagen in his grasp. The room melted around them as Dagen was forced into weapon form. All around them was darkness. Malencia began to run towards the stranger, her eyes glowing red. No one touches her weapon! The stranger thought this was a bit odd for someone, and fired a shot at her. The explosion hit the ground, launching her backwards.

Really? You're disarmed, what point is there to fighting. You're on your own.

Let my weapon go.

She rushed in again, only to have the same attack be repeated, except this time, she dodged to the right. Were her physical abilities increasing? Was this what she was hiding? The stranger let out wave after ave of attack, and she nimbly dodge each one of them. Her abilities were the same. She was full of adrenaline.

That's your secret. You feel a need to protect everyone. When the situation gets touch, your body reacts by increasing the flow of adrenaline in your system, allowing you to perform past your level. I bet it won't last long. It truly is a finicky chemical.

He was right. She began to slow down as the increased effort caught up to her. One final shot hit her in the chest. It wasn't too much of a hit, but enough to completely wind her. The stranger tossed Dagen towards her, and transformed into an avatar of death. A terrifying monster with black wings, the void for a face, and long flowing cloak that resembled the night itself. Dagen transformed out, and was attempting to revive his meister.

Come one, come on! Get up! Malancia, get up!

The stranger crept closer to the pair, preparing his final blow, when Malancia grabbed a hold of Dagen. The sudden touch caused him to react. She stood to her feet, eyes red again, and fire shot after shot, repeating what she did to Archie. The stranger was being pushed back as the rate of fire intensified. That was when the words escaped their mouths.

LOCK AND LOAD, SOUL RESONANCE

LOCK AND LOAD, SOUL RESONANCE

Dagen changed into a large backpack with two cannons held in Malencia's hands. Large metal braces hit the ground behind them, and the cannon's charged up.

HELLFIRE REIGN

HELLFIRE REIGN

A wall of explosive shells came flying out of the cannons at the speed of sound, hitting their target and everything around them. The Stranger felt the force of the hit, parts of him exploding off, others becoming mangled. It was only a few seconds, but the damage could easily equal that of an atomic bomb. When it was all through, there was nothing left. Dagen and Malencia awoke, as did anyone that was watching. They were in a normal lab, with the stranger at the front. Dagen dove towards him, anger in his face. The Stranger replied by pacifying him with a calming wave.

Calm down, it wasn't real. It was a test.

So, all of that... are you kidding me? I thought we were going to die?

Dagen was released so he could speak.

Mark my words old man, you touch me ever again, I will blow a hole in your throat big enough to shove my fist in and tear your heart through it. Then... His expression changed to a deranged smile once more. I will eat your soul.

Malencia placed a hand on his shoulder, which seemed to calm him. He responded by placing his hand over her's. They remained quiet in their seats, thinking about what had happened.

Lunartic:
There was a queasy feeling in Jessie’s stomach when the test began. She knew what was going to happen, and the sudden realization made a wave of nausea wash over her. Then she remembered who was on the receiving end and felt a lot better about it. And it was during their test that she actually thought about what kind of person Dagen was. Rude, sarcastic, sociopathic, quick to anger, and vastly egotistical. He had all the charm in the world but probably couldn’t keep a girlfriend who gave two shits about her own feelings.

Why was it always the cute ones?

And his Soul Resonance was pretty cool too.

”Excuse me?” she blurted out, brushing past the stranger to meet Dagen face-to-face. ”This man has the power to lock you inside your greatest fears, and don’t give me that ‘I’m not afraid of anything’ bullshit, because I thought that too for a while, and guess what? I was fucking terrified! Not only that, but he can . . .” she shuddered as she spoke her next words, ”force you into a weapon and make your soul wavelength match his. Have you ever been raped? Because that’s what it fucking feels like!”

Alex stood up. ”Jessie-”

She looked and pointed at her sister. ”Stay out of this Alex.” Her sinister gaze returned to Dagen. ”This is between weapons. Where was I, oh yes, you were threatening the life of a man who is clearly stronger than you’ll ever dream to be!”

"Jessie!" Alex pulled her sister back. "Enough."

Jessie shook free, but stood her ground. I want to smack him.

He's not worth it.

Desbear:
As he put us under the same spell, I just began to... Examine, the situation. So far, it looked much different than ours; More like a void, similar to that when... Actually, let's not compare it to that. I don't want to remember that. Anyways, right off the bat he was doing the same thing he did to us. I believe a phrase that would fit it was 'Second verse, same as the first'. Or something like that. One thing that was somewhat interesting, however, was just how much he had to say about the girl... He just droned on and on about her soul, while merely glancing over Mr. Abs' soul. Similarly enough, the the girl was effected much more than he was, that was... Well, until he continued on with what he had done before. He grabbed Dagen, forcibly turning him into weapon form. This caused memories of when he did the same to Jessie, and even stole Silene from Warren during that...

However, she reacted much differently than we did. When The Stranger shot her, her eyes merely... Turned red. She reacted to being shot, by fighting back, with much less despair or even going defensive. She dodged wave after wave of attack too, like that of a ballerina, her agility unmatched by anyone I had seen... Except maybe Warren, actually. He did run up the arm of that thing after all. And then, The Stranger began to explain it like he always did, explaining that it was merely adrenaline, and that she would slow down soon, and sure enough, she did. When she had slowed down, a final shot actually hit her, knocking her down, or at least winding her... Did she just take a shot head on, and stay in one piece? Perhaps it was just the illusion, or perhaps it was because she was a meister, but it still struck me as odd... Then again, I did take an anchor to the side, and I'm here right now, aren't I?

When The Stranger stopped firing, he tossed... I think his actual name was Dagen, wasn't it...? Either way, he got tossed towards her, and transformed back into a human. He seemed to be trying to revive his partner, however, something else grabbed my attention; The Stranger had turned into a... I'm not even sure what to call it, other than a 'monster'. As he... No, it, neared them, the girl took hold of Dagen, and began to fire at The Stranger. The way it fired was quite reminiscent of how they fought Archie, however, one thing was different; Somewhere during it, they began to yell, something about lock and load soul resonance, and then something about 'hellfire rain', or... Did they mean Reign? Ah, I bet they meant Reign. As they did so, what seemed to be a large backpack appeared, replacing Dagen. The backpack had several bracing mechanisms along her back, and even some that shot into the ground as she began to fire. Honestly, there's only one thing I can say about the outcome of their attack, only one way to describe it... Beautiful... And then, sad as it was, it ended, the glorious destruction ended, as we were  returned to the lab.

As we were put back into our true place, I guess a grin was on my face, as Steven actually put down his book from the seat beside me, and posed a question. "So, I'm guessing it was good? I attempted to lose the grin, I attempted to go back to normal, and try to stop myself from feeling happiness from the chaos and destruction that had just taken place within the illusion, but... I just couldn't. Something about it, pleased me, and made me all warm inside. Even my reply to him had a bit of a tone of happiness. "It was... Amazing, to say the least."

But that wasn't where it ended, as I finished my short reply to Steven, something caught both of our attentions. See, while I was talking, Dagen had said... Something, I'm not sure what he said, but it seemed to set Jessie off. She began to rant, about how his reaction after the test was pretty much bullshit, and a complete farce. Furthermore, she began to go on about how he had just threatened a man who could not only lock him in his fears, but was about twenty times stronger than he was. Somewhere through it, her sister... Alex, I think, attempted to stop her, but even then, she was stopped. Honestly, I just sorta reclined in my seat and stayed silent after she was pulled away. After all, it was going to be interesting to see what happened because of her outburst, was it not?
