Reaper And Killjoy

March 7th,

5:57 AM,

The boy's locker room.

After taking a short shower and changing his clothes, Matt looked over at Jinn, who just got out of the shower as well. When Jinn went to get his clothes from his locker, his back was turned towards Matt.

And let's say that, uhm... Matt got his proof...

His jaw dropped, and his expression was absolutely indescribable and absolutely priceless. He then thought to himself.

"This fucking guy... No, more like, this poor fucking guy. What the hell did he bang, a tiger?! Jesus..."

After slapping himself a number of times, he finally snapped out of it and exited the locker room... Only to realize that his two teammates were Mr. Tiger Fucker and the tiger themselves...

Again, he thought to himself.

"You're joking... I have to fight alongside these two?! No shot... I wanna go home..."

Jinn soon exited the changing room as well, and went over to Matt and slapped his shoulder.

"What're you waiting for? Let's go get 'em."

"Ehh... Yes... Let's go..."

The two then went over to Chloe, who was waiting near Mr. Drum. All three of them were now waiting on team A, who was still missing two members, the boys, to be exact.

How come the girls are always first? Do they take 40 second showers or something...?

Even though team C was composed of Jinn, Matt and Chloe, you could barely tell Matt was actually present, since he was standing so far away from the two. Sigh... Get over it, my guy. You see your parents every day and yet don't act like that near 'em.

Anyways, after the two missing boys finally showed up, Mr. Drum gathered everyone, and started talking.

"Alright everyone, listen up. Everyone is free to watch the matches, but if you're from the teams that got done with theirs yesterday, you're free to go whenever. Watching this isn't mandatory."

A few cheers could be heard, and some kids started heading the exit. It consisted of basically everyone from team B and D.

"Now, Kinko, since you pulled of that amazing feat yesterday, you get to decide who goes first against who."

"Is it alright if I do another strange request?"

"Certainly. Go ahead."

"I request a three-versus-three match, same rules as yesterday."

Everyone heading towards the exit paused.

"Three-versus-three...?"

"Wouldn't that be hella interesting to watch?"

"Maybe..."

"I think I'm stayin', actually..."

"Me too."

"Wait, me three!"

And then suddenly, every spectator seat was filled. Not one student left.

Mr. Drum started thinking for a second.

"Hmm... I donno what to say 'bout that, Kinko... Could be dangerous. There's a possibility of too much chaos."

Jinn put on his best smile once again.

"Ah, that so? Then how about Matt does a one-versus-three?"

"That works. I'll accept."

"Ahhh, I see~ Soo...~ I'm doing a one-on-three~ Wait a second, I'm doing fucking what now?!"

"Language, Anderson."

"Sorry, not sorry, Mr. Drum?! How am I supposed to do a one-on-three?!"

"Not my problem. Team leader decides. And Kinko wants you to do a one-versus-three."

"Jiiinnn~~ My dear friend...~"

Matt grips Jinn's shoulder tightly.

"Suuuurely~ I'm not gonna do a one-versus-three right~? That was a joke, no~?"

"Nope. You're doing it. Leader's orders.", said Jinn with a bright smile.

"This motherfucker got laid and now he thinks he's cool shit!!", is what Matt wanted to say out loud, but didn't...

"...'Kay."

Matt walked over to Mr. Drum, and asked,

"Is it cool if I at least change my weapon? Can't do jack with these daggers."

"Sure, I'll allow it."

Matt smiled, and responded, "Thank you."

Even though it was no longer a three-versus-three, still, everyone remained.

Matt walked past team A, and to the weapon's stand.

"You okay with this, Matt?", asked Patt.

"I guess. I can just surrender it... But, I need to confirm something first.

He then looked over to Mr. Drum, and yelled out.

"Yo, teach. If I win, what do I get?"

"Well, nothing usually, but... Ah, to hell with it. I have some coupons to WcDonald's that are about to expire next week. You can have 'em."

"Good enough for me!"

Electricity started leaking out through Matt's clothes. He then went over to the weapon's stand, and made his pick...

"This'll do juuust fine~"

He spun it around and landed it on his shoulder. The spectators, his classmates, started laughing at him.

"Hey, hey now! Ain't that a big edgy?!"

"C'mon, dawg, what even is that?"

"Pick some' better, Matt! And go get them!"

"Yeah, switch! Who do you think you are?!"

Matt sighed, then started spinning it around. Bolts of electricity started sparking from it, creating the effect of a purple circle.

"Who do I think I am, huh..."

He then hit the ground with it, and the electricity that had surrounded it suddenly dispersed, and gave Matt a purple-ish background.

He then, again, spun the scythe around, and landed it on his shoulder.

"Muerte."

Some of his classmates gasped, some laughed in surprise, and some just stood in awe and silence. Then Nicole broke the ice, and exclaimed, "That was kinda cool...", only to be met with a spray of water in her face.

Well, uhm, I think Matt just got himself a fan-club for a second, but it got destroyed as fast as it was created. Wanna try to guess why?

Matt then went back to Mr. Drum.

"I'm all set, Mr. Drum."

"Team A, are you ready?"

"Sir, yessir."

"Alright then. Please get into your positions."

And so they did. Matt was suddenly facing three other people, all equipped with weapons- although fake, still scary- and powerful Agilys.

"Get ready..."

Matt inhaled and exhaled, while fixing his footing to a runner's start.

"Draw your weapons..."

Matt equipped his scythe like a police baton, meaning it was ready to strike at all times.

"Begin!"

Matt started running towards his biggest threat, Ed Ampul, leaving purple lights wherever he stepped.

"S-Shit, he's fast!

If he wanted any chance at winning, he had to take out the person who could manipulate the ground.

He lunged towards Ed, and swung his scythe at him. Not towards his head, like a bloodthirsty psycho, but at his hand, to try and get him out of the fight by making him drop his weapon to the ground.

He failed.

Ed quickly realized what Matt was trying to do, and blocked the attack with his long sword.

His whole force was in his right leg and arms. The leg to push forward with more force, and the arms to block and possibly counter Matt's attack.

And, any second now... Ah~ There it is. Matt's opening.

"Oi. Look out below."

"W-What?"

Ed realized what was coming, and tried to knock Matt down with a very tame earthquake, but he didn't manage to do it in time.

Matt, who used to play football, swung at Ed's left leg, with moderate force. Ed lost his balance, and finally fell, making it a one-on-two.

"Ouch, that's a foul... My bad."

Mr. Drum shouted,

"Ampul Ed, eliminated!"

"Ugh, I'm so hungry...", said Ed as he left the fight-area.

His spectators cheered, alongside his team!

"Go get 'em, Matt!"

"Shit, that's awesome!"

"Fry them with your Agily!"

"Go, go, go!"

"He's like the Grim fucking Reaper!"

...Grim Reaper, huh... Had a nice ring to it, to be honest...

Matt yelled out to Walter, who was the one to yell that name out.

"Shorten it!"

"Uhh... How about The Reaper?!"

"I fucking love it!"

Matt then, once again, started running at full speed. This time, it was his second biggest threat, one who knew everything about him. Patt Anderson.

"Look out below, lil' bro!"

Again, by a few second.

He swung full force at Patt's feet, only to be met with the sensation of hitting... Nothing. His attack missed.

"Shit! Did he...!"

Matt quicky looked behind him, only to realize that he never saw the blue light.

"Nopey~ Just jumped~"

After that, a "Thud!" was heard. Patt hit Matt on the head with his spear.

Matt almost lost consciousness, and slowly let go of his weapon, which started falling to the ground...

Fuck no! Not yet!

Matt kicked his weapon high into the air, grabbed it by the very end, and swung at Patt, with a vertical slash, full force! This time, the head of the scythe hit the ground, and the familiar blue light was seen.

A "Whoosh!" could be heard behind Matt, but he didn't really care. He already knew the details.

"Gotcha~"

Matt pulled his weapon up, threw it over his shoulder, and then quickly pulled it towards his head, in a motion that could replicate him cutting off his own head. But that didn't happen, his scythe's head didn't hit his neck. Instead...

When he did that, he caught Patt by the head, who was right behind him, after teleporting! Patt's face hit Matt's back of the head, and Patt fell on the floor, making it now... A one-on-one against Emily.

"Anderson Patt, eliminated!", yelled out Mr. Drum.

Patt left, while saying,

"Ouch, ouch, that hurt..."

...I'm sure it did, actually.

Matt started spinning his scythe, and the purple light was back.

"Does this give ya' déjà vu?"

"Maybe. Except this time I don't plan on losing."

"I mean, to be fair, I would've lost a long time ago if y'all would've ganged up on me, to be honest..."

"Where's the fun in that?"

"Hmm, true. Shall we begin?"

Emily went first. She went for a stabbing attack, only for it to be dodged by Matt, who then tried swinging at her.

She blocked the attack, then quickly fell back.

"Damn, now this is really looking familiar..."

"Want me to call you Em and start spouting some friendship bullshit?"

"I'll have to pass."

"Suit yourself!"

Emily started running at Matt again, except this time he swung first. She didn't just duck under it, she slid between his open legs- yes, sliding is allowed, by the way,- ended up behind him, and then quickly got back up.

Matt still was in swinging motion, so he couldn't turn around in time.

"Goddamn it..."

Emily had the decency to not hit his head, and swung at his legs instead.

Matt couldn't react with his weapon, but his whole body was not only available, but also a living battery!

He grabbed his scythe by the teeth, put both hands on the ground, spun around and kicked Emily away!

He then put his scythe back in his hands.

"You gotta stop scaring me like that, Em."

"Why's that? Gonna pee your pants, Reaper?"

He then ran his hand across the scythe's blade, and Emily did the same with her sword. One started sparkling with electricity, one started spraying water everywhere. It was clearly in Matt's advantage, but Emily wasn't giving up.

"Alright then, let's dance."

Matt then started sprinting towards Emily at full speed, and swung his scythe.

"If you wanna dance, take me to a club or something..."

Emily blocked the attack, and countered by swinging at his torso.

"Hmm, sure. You free on Saturday?"

Matt blocked the attack then took a step back.

"Nah, not really. What about Sunday?"

Emily didn't allow Matt to step back, and started attacking him repeatedly.

"Sure, that works. Wanna talk about specifics later?"

Matt pushed Emily back by swinging his weapon around him and creating an electric circle.

"Fine by me."

Emily started running towards Matt once again, with full power on her weapon, water leaking from it.

"Then it's decided, no?"

Matt did the same, while spinning his scythe around and creating a lot of electric bolts.

The two finally met after running, and clashed weapons as hard as they could, making electric-charged water go everywhere.

Then, the two exclaimed at the same time.

"It's a date!"

"It's a date!"

After the clash of the two, everyone spectating remained in awe.

Then, Mr. Drum announced.

"Uhm... Well... It's a simultaneous loss for both parties, since, uhh... Both are on their knees, with their weapons dropped, and covering their faces... A-Anyway! Since team C has two other people left who aren't eliminated, team C wins!"

Cheering could be heard in the entire gymnasium, from their classmates.

"Good job, Reaper!"

"Nice try, Em!"

"That was awesome!"

"This is so cool!"

Jinn and Chloe came running at Matt.

"Dude! You were insane there! That was even more impressive that what I did yesterday!"

"Good job, Matt!

"I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die, I wanna die..."

"How'd you even learn to fight like that?!"

"I sooo wannaaa dieee..."

"So it just came to you naturally? I see!"

Well, whether he was cool or not, he was still as red as fuckin' Mars. Same can be said for the señorita behind him.

After Matt got praised by his whole class, and after about 27 more 'I wanna die...'s, he finally came back to his senses.

"W-Wait, so, did I win?"

"Well, yeah dude, kinda. I told you, you were totally awesome out there."

"Thanks... Uh... I'll be right back, 'kay?"

"Huh? Wait a sec! Let's go for some food after, okay?"

Nope, Matt wasn't waiting. He made a straight line to Emily, who was still on the floor, and offered his hand to her.

"Hey. Nice match."

"Thanks, but seeing your face right now ain't helping...", said Emily then buried her face back in her knees.

"I'm, uh, sorry? For... Being born, I guess?"

Emily then took his hand, and finally stood up.

"Thanks. And I'm just joking, don't worry."

"Yeah, yeah, I'm familiar with your sense of humor."

"I'm gonna go cry with my teammates about our loss. You go celebrate with yours, yeah?"

"Sure... Uh, sorry."

Emily stretched her back a bit, then yawned.

"It's fine. Just call me later today, 'kay?"

"Eh? Oh, sure, but what for...?"

"What do you mean? We still gotta decide what's up for Sunday."

Matt felt his face getting hotter. Ah, to be young and in love...

"R-Right! I'll, uh, call you. B-Bye, I guess?"

"Just go, just go."

Matt then went back to his team. Jinn and Chloe were still close. Too close.

"Right... I forgot about these two..."

Before he could get a chance to sneakily leave, he got pulled by his excited classmates, and got thrown next to Jinn.

"Dude, you never told us you were this awesome!"

"Yeah, Jinn too!"

"Yesterday was exciting too, for sure!"

"Yo, Jinn, what's your nickname?"

"Uh, well... I ain't sure..."

"Matt's already got Reaper!"

"Yeah, it fits him!"

"And his scythe! Haha!"

"W-Wait, that was official...?"

"Then, Jinn?"

"Tell us yours!"

"W-Well... Maybe... JK? Or KJ... Just my initials?"

Walter, the official name giver for Matt, spoke up.

"That's boring. If you really wanna use your initials, what about Killjoy?"

Everyone then looked at Walter.

"Uh... What?"

Then, everyone exclaimed all at once.

"Are you a name god?!"

"No, no... Not really..."

Jinn looked like he was in a lot of thought. Then, he suddenly snapped out of it.

"Why not! I like it! Killjoy it is!"

"Then it's decided!"

"Sure is, hahah!"

"Killjoy and Reaper!"

"No, it's Reaper and Killjoy!"

"Yeah!"

"Wait, no way..."

Matt sighed for a bit.

"C'mon guys, does it really matter...?"

Emily then also came to where all the commotion was, and added gasoline to the fire...

"I like Reaper and Killjoy more, to be honest."

Matt suddenly looked extremely happy, and loudly exclaimed.

"It's Reaper and Killjoy, then, huh! Can't be helped!"
